The richest man

Chapter 209 Stimulate Consumption
PS: I was annoyed by it. I changed it several times and it is still blocked. I will send this chapter for free!
Just after the New Year in 1984, Legendary Technologies planned to launch Warwick routers and switches.

The switch competition is fierce, and Legend Technology is still catching up.

However, the router should be in a monopoly for the time being.

The inventors of the router in the previous life were a couple of teachers from Stanford University. They did not start Cisco until December 1984.

Moreover, Legendary Technology has applied for many patents for the router, which can limit the development of the other party to a certain extent.

Of course, Zhang Jun also considered inviting the couple to join the company, thus killing the competition in the cradle.

This matter will be carried out after the router is released.

At this time, Legend Technology Company has sent invitations to universities in Europe and the United States to attend the product launch event of Legend Technology Company.

Stanford University.

The principal looked at the invitation letter and was amazed: "Why did Legendary Technology send us an invitation? They didn't invite us when they held product launches before."

A professor thought for a while and said, "Maybe the product released by Legendary Technology Company this time is related to our college..."

The headmaster said indifferently: "No matter what, since the other party invited us to participate, then we should send someone there."

"Then let me go. The products released by Legend Technology Company often surprise the world. At this moment, I am already very curious and want to see it as soon as possible!" The professor laughed.

The principal nodded.

……

All major colleges in the United States are very generous, and they have sent people to attend the product launch conference of the legendary technology company.

This also reflects the extent of the influence of the legendary technology company in the world.

Fast forward to the press conference.

Zhang Jun was chatting with Shangguan Muye and other company executives.

"If you want to quickly promote routers, you must first select potential users."

"The biggest potential users are undoubtedly the universities in the United States."

"There should be many different computer local area networks on campus, and different professional colleges have different local area networks. Even the same professional college will have different computer local area networks!"

"In addition, there are many people who study computers in universities, so we must first conquer the university market."

"This time, we put the press conference in Los Angeles, the United States, and rented a small gymnasium to decorate the conference site. The purpose is to attract various colleges and universities and ensure the success of the press conference!"

"Everyone must not relax, we must make this press conference a success!"

After Zhang Jun finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement and assured Zhang Jun.

The first-generation router developed by Warwick had a very low production cost of $50, but a high price of $500 each.

Routers are just needed, and all colleges and universities will definitely want to buy them.

Therefore, the opportunity to gather wool at this time is very rare.

Universities in the United States happen to be very rich. It is a trivial matter for a college to buy hundreds of routers.

It's a pity that Legendary Technology's strength is not strong, and it can't develop a powerful router for the time being. Therefore, it is best for colleges and universities to buy more routers if they want to connect their computer LANs to the Internet.

Strength does not allow, there is no way, it's not that I don't want to develop a better router.

……

The news that Legendary Technology will hold a press conference has spread to the outside world, and major media have contacted Legendary Technology Company and sent reporters to attend the press conference.

On January 1984, 1, a small gym in Los Angeles was crowded with people and it was very lively.

The press conference has not yet started, but everyone is already talking about it.

"I think the products released by Legendary Technology this time must be very unusual! Why do I say that? Do you know that Legendary Technology specially invited universities in Europe and the United States to participate in the press conference. In the past, how could Legendary Technology have such This kind of move, I guess this product can be related to education. For example, to develop a set of teaching tools for teachers.”

"Some universities are already using Legend Technology's ppt to make university courseware, and the effect is said to be pretty good!"

"..."

At this moment, a burst of music sounded, and the lights on the stage were also turned on.

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking and looked at the stage involuntarily.

The CEO of Huawei is named Wu Gaoming. He is about forty years old. He is a high-level executive who was promoted from within the legendary technology company.

I saw him wearing a black suit, with a tall and straight figure, walking to the middle of the stage with his head held high.

"Hi everyone, I'm Wu Gaoming, the CEO of Warwick Corporation."

"We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huawei Legend Technology, and our company will be dedicated to network services and provide a complete set of network solutions! Today, we will release a revolutionary product!!!"

As soon as the words fell, the audience was shocked.

A guest in the audience couldn't help but said in shock: "What?! Another milestone product is about to be released!!!"

Legend Technology Company has always said one thing and two things, and never exaggerated its own products.

Previously, Legend Technology said that it had released a milestone product, resulting in the release of the Walkman and the Hongmeng computer.

For one or two minutes, the audience was noisy.

Wu Gaoming raised his arm and made a gesture of silencing, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and then began to introduce the "Huawei Router".

"Today, the product our company is going to release is 'Multi-Protocol Router'. What is the function of this product?"

Wu Gaoming paused for a moment, and then said: "As far as I know, there are many computer LANs in the university, but these LANs cannot be connected to each other. Just imagine at this time, if these different computer LANs can be connected, then it is Isn't it great?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

Apparently quite a few people were taken aback by the idea.

Wu Gaoming smiled, and said loudly into the microphone: "Yes, you guessed it right! The router released by Huawei today can realize the connection between different computer LANs..."

Immediately afterwards, Wu Gaoming began to introduce the working principle of the router, and some schematic diagrams began to appear on the screen behind him, allowing everyone to understand the function of the router.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

"This router is good. It can connect all the computers in the college to a network, and it will be more convenient to communicate!!!"

Immediately, everyone was very excited about the Huawei router, and wanted to buy some back to improve the university's network.

Soon, the press conference was over.

But the influence persists.

Next, various colleges and universities ordered routers from Warwick.

Some institutions or enterprises also come to buy routers.

In a short period of time, [-] Huawei routers were sold.

……

……

At present, the market for routers is not very big, and none of the predators have set foot in it, which reassures Zhang Jun a lot.

Stanford University.

The original Cisco founders Leonard Bosack and Santi Lerner received the invitation from Warwick, but the other party did not seem to intend to give up the work of teachers.

Zhang Junyi thought that the reason why the couple started their own business in their previous lives was because they invented the router and felt that this product was promising, so they resigned to start their own business.And in this life, they are not the inventors of the router, and it is obviously not their wish to simply go to work.

Zhang Jun didn't force it, and secretly thought that Cisco would never appear again.

There is no doubt that the invention of the router marked the advent of the Internet age.

Zhang Jun leaned on the chair and fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but think of the root server.

"The top-level domain name resolution service of the Internet is completed by the root server, which is crucial to network security and stable operation, and is called the "central nerve" of the Internet."

"There are only 13 root servers in the world, 10 of which are in the United States, 2 in Europe, located in the UK and Sweden, and 1 in Asia, located in Japan."

"By next year, the United States will open domain name registration!"

"However, the Internet has not yet developed, presumably even the United States will not pay too much attention to the root server..."

Zhang Jun thought to himself, maybe the mainland can also get a root server.

It doesn't matter if you can't get it, the big deal is that you can't access the external network.In fact, for Huaguo netizens, the need to visit foreign websites is really very small.

After a while, Zhang Jun picked up the phone to communicate with President Liu Changhe, explaining in detail the importance of the root server and the network.

Hearing this, Liu Changhe nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I will convey your thoughts to the mainland, so you can rest assured."

"En." Zhang Jun nodded, and after a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone with a much more relaxed expression. He had already done what he was supposed to do, and no matter what the result was, he had no regrets.

On the other side, Liu Changhe immediately contacted his leader and conveyed Zhang Jun's words.

The mainland knew that Zhang Jun would not be aimless, and immediately sent a team of experts to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the root server, but they knew very little information.

The Internet has not yet emerged, and almost everyone's understanding of the Internet is blank.

It is hard to imagine that after the 21st century, the Internet has become an indispensable part of people's life and work.

Now I don't even have a website or a browser, and I can only use a computer to send an email.

"The main function of the root server is for network domain name resolution. Our expert group may not have looked far enough and have insufficient understanding of it. However, after Huawei released the router, the global network can be connected together. The importance of the root server more prominent, no

Zhang Jun couldn't hold enough alcohol, he was already slightly tipsy after a few drinks, and then fell asleep on the sofa, with the corners of his lips slightly raised while sleeping.

……

……

With the establishment of the root server in the mainland, the leaders also paid more and more attention to the construction of the network and computers.

"Learning computers should start from a baby!"

Once the old man said it, it immediately spread throughout the country.

After Zhang Jun received the news from Hong Kong, he was immediately shocked.

Since the leader shouted this sentence, there has been an upsurge of learning computers across the country.

Zhang Jun suddenly felt that his own computer would sell well in the mainland.

"Let the computer department of Legend Technology come to the meeting!" Zhang Jun immediately ordered to the secretary.

Two and 10 minutes later, a medium-sized conference room.

Zhang Jun looked at the management and said straight to the point: "The mainland will soon usher in an upsurge of learning computers. The computer department must immediately formulate strategies and strive to grab the largest wave of orders. Let's discuss here first, brainstorm, and have a look. Is there a better way?"

The main competitors of Legend Technology are IBM and Wang An Computer...

Wang An Computer's ability to become one of the world's top three personal computer developers is unexpected, but it is also reasonable. Wang An Computer Company is currently still at the helm of Dr. Wang An himself. In this life, Wang An Computer Company has no special Go alone, develop another set of personal computer standards independently, but develop compatible machines according to the standards of Hongmeng Computer.

You must know that the technical strength of Wang An Computer Company is actually very high, and the R&D talents in the laboratory even make IBM salivate.Therefore, the personal computer developed by Wang An Computer Company is also very good.

Zhang Jun secretly sighed, without the Apple computer, there was a more powerful Wang An computer, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.Dr. Wang An should soon quit the management of the company due to illness, and then let his son take over.This incident directly led to the disintegration of Wang An Computer Company and a serious brain drain.These talents are delicious, maybe I can take the initiative to recruit these talents...

Zhang Jun is not optimistic about the future of Wang An Computer Company.

Dr. Wang An is too stubborn. If his son can't do it, he should hire a professional manager. If he insists on pushing his son to the position of CEO, a huge technological empire will collapse.

Zhang Jun couldn't help but sigh slightly.

At this time, everyone was already discussing the computer promotion plan.

Everyone agreed that Hongmeng Computer is too high-end, and it is best to follow the ZF procurement route. China Computer focuses on the low-end market, with small profits but quick turnover.Take a two-pronged approach to eat the largest market share.

The specific details and operation methods will be discussed in a meeting later.

But how can ZF be willing to purchase its own computer?This made Zhang Jun a little worried.

At this time, real estate in mainland China had already begun to develop, and Zhang Jun felt that it was time for him to enter the real estate industry.

Combined with the current situation, Zhang Jun sorted out a train of thought in his mind.

Legendary Technology went to the ZF department to sell computers, but of course the other party couldn't afford them. At this time, it was time for Huaren Land to come forward.

Chinese Land bought the land, and ZF got the money to buy computers, and the extra money could solve other problems.

In this way, the three parties win-win.

Of course, Standard Chartered Bank can also join in.

Chinese Land used a loan from Standard Chartered Bank to solve the funding problem.

In this way, it is a win-win situation for all parties.

After Chinese Land bought the land, it was bound to carry out development, thus speeding up urban construction, prospering the economy, and relieving employment pressure.

And the workers in the factory can also make money, and all aspects such as raw materials and transportation are developing in a favorable direction.

In economics, this is called stimulating consumption...

The more Zhang Jun thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

He immediately wrote his idea into a written document, and then sent it to the company's management for further improvement.

In this way, after nearly half a month of preparation, a very complete plan was released.

In April 1984, Zhang Jun used the group's resources and contacts to enter the mainland market on a large scale.

……

……

"Leader, don't you want to respond accordingly and vigorously develop the computer industry? The local government should set an example, set an example, and take the lead in using computers for office work! Our company can provide you with the most advanced Hongmeng computers in the world. The price is very affordable, absolutely Good quality and low price. Of course, considering the current economic constraints of the local government, our company specially contacted a brother company, China Land, to solve the funding problem for the government.”

"The ZF can get a huge sum of money if they sell the land to Chinese Land, and then they will have the money to buy computers!"

"In addition, after the land is sold to Chinese Land, Chinese Land will carry out real estate development on it as soon as possible, build high-rise buildings or apartment houses, and even...if you buy more land, you can also build it into an urban complex... ..."

Where did the leaders hear about the urban complex, and couldn't help asking.

The salesperson explained to them very considerately: "This urban complex is based on building complexes, and it is a 'city within a city' that integrates the five core functions of commercial retail, business offices, hotels, restaurants, apartments, and comprehensive entertainment! After the building is completed, it must be extremely prosperous, and it can greatly improve the economic development of the entire city!"

As we all know, in this special period, the economy is a very important indicator.

After the leaders listened, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously quite moved.

I just need to sell some land, and then I have everything.

The salesmen are not fooling around. After Chinese Land buys the land, it will develop it. It is impossible to keep the land under development...
