The richest man

Chapter 219 First-Class Enterprises as Standards

There was constant noise at the press conference.

Many people can't help wondering and discussing what is the new product released by the legendary technology company this time?Is it an epoch-making product?
Some impatient people even yelled loudly and asked Shangguan Muye.

But Shangguan Muye spoke slowly, like a sloth, really maddened to death.

First, I talked a lot of nonsense, asked the guests, and let everyone guess what kind of product Legendary Technology Company will release.
Guess what! Guess!
How can an epoch-making product be guessed!
If someone else had thought of it a long time ago and developed it, what would be the legendary technology today?

After four or five minutes, we finally got to the point.

Shangguan Muye no longer wrote ink, and did not continue to sell the book, but directly introduced: "It's really a pity, everyone guessed wrong. Okay, let's get down to business, today, the product that Legendary Technology will release is actually a notebook Computer——LegendBook! At present, there are many laptops on the market, but compared with LegendBook, I can only say that these laptops are not at the same level. Today, we Legend Technology Company will redefine laptops!! "

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar in the audience.

"How can laptops be redefined?! I think IBM, Wang An Computer, HP, Compaq, Sony, etc. have released laptops that are easy to use and easy to carry. How can Legend Technology improve?" A computer enthusiast looked puzzled.

"Yeah, I also think it's hard to improve. At most, I can increase some performance, or make the laptop thinner, and that's it!"

"Well, the hero sees the same thing. I think Legendary Technology is deliberately hyping up an epoch-making product this time, so that the product will sell better."

"..."

Some computer developers heard the comments of these people around them, and immediately sneered at Legendary Technology's means of hyping the products of the era, with a look of ridicule on their faces.

"Hehe, Legendary Technology has fallen to this point in order to gain attention!"

"Yes, there is an old saying in China that prosperity must decline, and it is time for Legendary Technology to decline!"

"Haha, legendary technology has declined, isn't this just our chance?!"

"..."

The guests from major computer developers couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Shangguan Muye finally spoke again.

"Now, please look at the big screen behind me. We will play VCR to let everyone know more about our LegendBook."

After speaking, the big screen behind him began to ring.

Then a video starts playing.

In the video, Zhang Jun personally introduced and demonstrated LegendBook for everyone.

"Hello everyone, the laptop on my desktop is LegendBook. It is the world's first laptop made of titanium alloy. Its carrying weight is only 2.2 kg and its overall thickness is only 3.3 cm. It has a powerful memory of 32M and a hard drive of 4GB. , a 14.1-inch LCD screen, and a 650-bit microprocessor "Kunpeng" with a frequency of up to 32 MHz. "

"Its light weight and firmness, special ergonomic design, powerful performance and complete functions are definitely the most advanced notebook computer in the world!"

"Of course, if it's just these things, LegendBook is not an epoch-making product!"

"Next, I can show you two new features of LegendBook. After reading it, you will definitely throw your old laptop into the trash."

"First of all, the wifi function of LegendBook!"

"What is wifi? It must be the first time everyone has heard of wifi. This is actually a kind of wireless communication technology. It was independently developed by our legendary technology company. At present, this technology has matured. We just applied it to notebook computers. It’s just on your body. In the past, everyone wanted to connect to the Internet through a network cable to connect to the computer, while Wi-Fi connected to the Internet through radio waves!”

During the conversation, everyone saw Zhang Jun demonstrating the wifi function.

Zhang Jun first unplugged the network cable connected to the LegendBook, then turned on the wifi, searched for a network named "Huawei router wifi", and clicked to enter the password, and then the laptop could go online.

When everyone saw Zhang Jun walking from the study room to the bedroom with his laptop in his arms, and then sitting on the bed playing with the computer, doing whatever he wanted, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Damn it, it's so convenient! Without the fetters of network cables, you can go online wherever you want with a laptop. This wifi function is amazing!" A reporter said in surprise, his eyes lit up.

"That's right, this is the real laptop. It is worthy of being an epoch-making product. If future laptops don't have this wifi function, who will buy them?"

"Legend Technology Company is really awesome!"

"..."

Countless people were shocked.

LegendBook immediately attracted countless fans and was sought after by countless people.

Computer manufacturers all have bad faces. Legendary Technology Company invented wifi, and everyone will have to rely on it in the future.

"It seems that Legendary Technology has not declined, but has become more brilliant..." The CEO of Compaq shook his head and murmured, "Next, our company must reach a cooperation with Legendary Technology Company as soon as possible and request it to authorize our company Use wifi technology!!!”

After finishing speaking, the Compaq CEO's expression changed. As we all know, the Hongmeng computer of the legendary technology company has always taken the high-end route. If Compaq can launch a low-end wifi laptop earlier than other computers, it must be a big hit!

At this moment, not only the CEO of Compaq thinks so, but other computer companies also think the same way.

Legend Technology has been targeted by the United States and Europe. It has been sued for a "monopoly" throughout the year. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain exclusive ownership of wifi technology, and most of them will be licensed.

Furthermore, wireless communication technology does not only include wifi technology. Legend Technology has always liked to formulate various standards. If you want everyone to recognize wifi, you must authorize wifi. The new wireless communication technology, wifi, is also obsolete, and can only be used on Hongmeng computers and Shenzhou computers, which greatly limits the scope and value of wifi.

In vcr, Zhang Jun started to introduce the second new function usb interface after introducing wifi.

Zhang Jun said: "There are many interfaces on the computer. The hard disk is connected to the IDE interface, the mouse and keyboard are connected to the serial port, and the printer and scanner are connected to the parallel port. The standards are not uniform. Today, we Legend Technology used the usb interface on the LegendBook for the first time. , the interface can be standardized, which is convenient for users to use various computer peripheral products!"

"The Chinese name of the usb interface is 'universal serial bus'. The so-called 'universal' means that the serial bus has a wide range of versatility and has a wide range of applications!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help being surprised again.

The legendary technology company actually wants to use the usb interface to unify various standards!

The ambition is really big! ! !
Several computer manufacturers looked at each other in dismay, with shock and a hint of inquiry in their eyes, as if they were asking whether your company would accept the usb standard formulated by Legendary Technology.

If you accept it, each computer will have to pay the patent fee to Legendary Technology in the future.

However, if you don't accept it, in case the performance of the usb interface is very powerful and the standard is popular all over the world, then because your computer does not have this usb interface function, the result is likely to cause the computer to be unsalable and the company to go bankrupt...

Fuck, tangled up!

At this time, Zhang Jun has already begun to tell everyone the advantages of usb.

The reason why usb can become a universal serial bus must be that it has many overwhelming advantages.

"First, it can be hot-swapped. It means that when users use external devices, they don't need to shut down and restart the computer. Instead, they can directly plug in the USB when working on the computer. It is very convenient to plug and play. The previous mouse And keyboards can’t do that.”

"Secondly, application peripherals such as hard disks, mice and keyboards, printers and scanners can all be connected to personal computers using the USB standard. In the future, manufacturers can directly produce USB hard disks, USB mice, USB printers, etc."

"Third, multiple devices can be connected. USB often has multiple interfaces on personal computers, and several devices can be connected at the same time. If you connect a USB HUB with four ports, you can connect four more USB devices. , and so on, you can connect as much as possible, and connect all your home devices to a personal computer at the same time without any problems!"

As soon as the voice fell, there were already whispers in the audience.

This usb is also too powerful. It can connect so many devices, which surprised many people. This technology is really awesome!

When people think that the power of usb lies in these four points, Zhang Jun said: "Fourth, the USB interface provides a connection speed of 12Mbps, which is more than 10 times faster than the parallel port. Printing files at this speed The transmission time is greatly reduced. In other words, if you use the usb interface to print a document now, it only takes one-tenth of the time before that is enough!"

Good guy, this speed caused a sensation in the audience!

In addition to the mouse and keyboard, printers are the most widely used and practical on computers.

The usb interface can increase the speed to 10 times that of the parallel port. There is no doubt that the usb printer will replace the parallel port printer. Any computer manufacturer that does not use the usb interface will be eliminated.

The major computer manufacturers at the scene once again looked at each other in dismay, with wry smiles and helplessness conveyed in their eyes, alas, there is no other way, we must use usb, usb is so powerful, we have to use it.

Zhang Jun said in the vcr at this time: "At present, our company is developing the next-generation usb standard, that is, usb2.0. usb2.0 defines an architecture compatible with usb 1.0, and all devices that support usb 1.0 can be directly Use on the USB 2.0 interface without worrying about compatibility issues. The most important thing is that the theoretical speed of usb2.0 is 480Mbps, which is more than 20 times the speed of ordinary USB, which will greatly reduce the transmission time of printing files , and will also meet the rate requirements of most peripherals!"

Although usb2.0 has not yet been developed, it does not prevent Zhang Jun from bragging, in order to make everyone think that usb has a bright future.

Sure enough, everyone was stunned when they heard that the speed of usb2.0 may be 1.0 times that of usb20.

When everyone once again thought that Zhang Jun should have finished introducing usb, they didn't expect...

He took out a matchbox-sized thing from his pocket, and connected it to the usb port of the LegendBook.

what is this?
People can't help feeling curious.

Soon, Zhang Jun clicked on "My Computer" with the mouse, and then he could see a disk labeled "Mobile U Disk" behind the hard drives C, D, E, and F.

When many people saw this, they immediately understood what the matchbox-sized thing was. It turned out to be an external storage device. Looking at the capacity, it was actually 4MB in size.

"As you can see, this thing is a storage device called a USB flash drive. The current capacity is 4MB. The main advantage of the USB flash drive is that it is easy to carry, it is not easy to damage, and the data transmission speed is also very fast. It is expected to replace floppy disks and tapes and become a The most mainstream mobile storage device in the future!"

The appearance of the U disk makes people's eyes shine.

At the same time, it provides strong support for the wide application of the usb standard.

At this moment, after watching the wifi, usb interface and USB flash drive, everyone already believes that LegendBook is indeed an epoch-making product, it is perfect!
Whether it is the guests present or the audience in front of the TV, they all want to have a LegendBook.

At the same time, the Warwick wif router under Legend Technology also made a name for itself with the help of this conference.

After the press conference, the Legend Store began to sell LegendBook, USB flash drives and Huawei wif routers.

Countless people came here one after another, the crowd was turbulent, and it was very lively.

"Brother, are you also here to buy LegendBook?"

"Yeah, it's a must! Legendary technology is always so awesome, and the LegendBook is perfect. I don't even want to go to the bathroom with a network cable. It's so fucking stupid!"

"Yeah, with wifi, who the fuck needs a network cable, it's simply too low!"

"Well, that's right, I don't dare to take my laptop outside to pretend to be aggressive now, for fear that I will be laughed at by others."

"Hehe, if you want to pretend to be good, you still have to use the products of Legend Technology Company!"

"Yes, I agree very much! Legend Technology's products are very expensive, and people will know that you are rich when they see it! For example, this LegendBook laptop is priced at $3999. My God, I have to save several Only a month's money can afford it..."

"U disk is also expensive to death, only 4MB and dare to sell it for $149, I am speechless!"

"Don't mention it, the Huawei wifi router is more expensive, $299 a piece, and I have to buy an extra wifi router to connect the LegendBook..."

Although a few people like the products of Legend Technology Company very much, but the things are too expensive, they can't help complaining together.

result……

After complaining, I still continue to buy, buy, buy...

Simply can not stop.

Every time a legendary technology company releases a new product, it is the day when their wallets become flat.

There is no doubt that LegendBook has become a new generation of pretentious artifacts, even if you eat bran and drink porridge, even if you sell blood and kidneys, even if you buy it for zero yuan... Cough cough, the security work of the Legendary store is still very strong, zero yuan purchase is not feasible .

……

……

"Has Legend Technology announced the first-day sales of LegendBook notebooks?"

Compaq Computer CEO George Moder asked his secretary two days later.

"Well, they announced the news at 9 o'clock this morning!"

The secretary nodded and said, "On the first day of the new product's release, Legend Technology sold 30 LegendBooks, 30 Wi-Fi routers, and 25 U disks."

"How much?! 30 LegendBook notebooks???" George Mode was stunned and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, boss, I have confirmed this news several times. I didn't believe it at first. Our Compaq computer company has never sold 30 notebooks a year, so I also doubt the accuracy of this news. So I inquired carefully, and it turned out that this news is absolutely true, it was announced by Legend Technology CEO Shangguan Muye in front of reporters, so there should be no falsehood."

George Maude said in astonishment: "Oh, God, this is unbelievable!"

"Boss, we have to hurry up to discuss cooperation with Legendary Technology and get the wifi and usb interface authorization. As far as I know, Wang An Computer and Hewlett-Packard have sent people to Legendary Technology..."

"I will go there in person now to show my sincerity!"

……

After John Watson Jr. learned about the sales of LegendBook, he became numb instantly.

He originally had high hopes for IBM's ThinkPad 700C notebook, but after watching Legend Technology's product launch, he immediately withered and his confidence fell to the bottom.

At this moment, John Watson Jr. couldn't help but have a profound experience of "He Shengliang is born as Yu".

Indeed, if there is no LegendBook, then ThinkPad 700C will be the most shining product of this era!
pity……

Little John Watson wants to cry but has no tears, and the ThinkPad 700C has become second-rate.

Consumers now only want to buy laptops with wifi and usb ports.

When John Watson Jr. thought that there were 50 ThinkPad 700Cs in the warehouse, his heart was bleeding instantly.

Nowadays, we can only cooperate with Legend Technology, obtain the authorization of wifi and usb interface, and then return the ThinkPad 700C to the factory for rectification.At this moment, IBM absolutely dare not release the ThinkPad 700C. In that case, not only the sales volume will not increase, but also the reputation of IBM will be lost, which will only leave consumers with the impression that IBM is far inferior to legendary technology.

With the help of wifi and usb interface, Legend Technology has indeed achieved a great success this time, and its influence and voice in the industry have been significantly improved. Some people even think that Legend Technology is the overlord of the computer industry, and IBM has become the second child. .

In fact, Legend Technology is currently beating IBM in the field of personal computers and graphics servers.

The market for mainframe computers and small and medium computers is still dominated by IBM.

All in all, Big Blue is still very strong and cannot be underestimated.

Legend Technology has been accumulating technology and developing steadily.

In 1996, IBM's Deep Blue chess machine lost a 2-4 match against world chess champion Garry Kasparov.But a year later, Kasparov lost the match in a rematch.

The blue giant is famous all over the world!

And Zhang Jun intends to complete IBM's feat first! ! !
Legend Technology Company has already established a supercomputer research laboratory, but it has not announced any news to the public.

The investment in research and development of AI also far exceeds that of IBM.

In the current world, only the legendary technology company needs more powerful AI technology in order to apply it to its various products, such as automated robot arms, game engines, big data processing, finance, communication, etc...

……

……

After more than three months, the popularity of LegendBook has flattened.

However, the legendary technology company has sold nearly 300 million notebooks, creating a miracle that shocked the world, and also brought incomparably huge wealth to the company.

The production cost of LegendBook is only about 1000 US dollars, and the profit of a notebook is as high as nearly 3000 US dollars. The profit of 90 billion US dollars makes others envious...
