The richest man

Chapter 220 Opening up a new era
Four months later, after the LegendBook laptop, Legend Technology released a new generation of Hongmeng computer.

Adopted some new technology, including usb interface.

For ordinary people, the price-performance ratio of Hongmeng desktop is relatively high, and one is only 2999 US dollars.

If you can't afford a Hongmeng computer, you can buy a Shenzhou computer.

The Shenzhou computer is almost one-third the price of the Hongmeng computer, or $999.

However, the focus of Legend Technology's press conference this time is not the Hongmeng computer itself, but the IE browser!
In the previous life, in 1994, the Netscape browser was about to be released. Of course, Zhang Jun would not let this happen, so Legend Technology had to release the browser software in advance.

The yahoo portal was also released along with the ie browser.

It is useless to have a browser without content, and it is not attractive enough, so it is necessary to cooperate with the Yahoo portal.

In addition, when the Yahoo Portal is launched, it will take advantage of the trend to promote search engines, instant messaging software, e-commerce websites, and so on.

……

……

"Zhang Sheng, I heard that your Legendary Technology Company will hold a product launch event at the end of the month?" Bao Yugang heard some gossip recently, so he couldn't help asking in front of Zhang Jun. The LegendBook notebooks were sold well, and Legendary Technology made a lot of money. It made billions of dollars in just a few months, and tens of billions of dollars a year.

This speed of making money, Hong Kong real estate tycoons count as one, no matter how they catch up and build houses frantically, it is difficult to match.

As soon as Bao Yugang heard that Legendary Technology Company was going to make a new move, he felt itchy and curious.

At this time, Zhang Jun swung a golf ball vigorously and knocked a golf ball into the air, but unfortunately he missed the hole.

Zhang Jun is just a batch of arty and technical dishes.

He smiled at Bao Yugang, handed the club to the caddy beside him, and then replied: "Well, yes, a product launch event is going to be held at the end of the month."

"Another epoch-making new product?" Bao Yugang asked again.

"Hehe, how should I put it, almost!" Zhang Jun pretended to be mysterious with a smile, paused, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Bao, are you now interested in technology products?"

When Bao Yugang heard this, he smiled, "How can you not be interested? Everyone in Hong Kong does not know that Legendary Technology is very profitable. Everyone is jealous and wants to get a piece of the pie. Before, everyone only knew that real estate is more profitable, but since you After founding the legendary technology company, many people discovered that it turns out that it is more profitable to start a technology company! However, the threshold for a technology company is relatively high, and the professionalism is strong. If you ask the businessmen in Hong Kong how to develop real estate, they can tell you clearly Asking them how to develop a technology company is like asking three questions. Many people also try to start a technology company, but the result often backfires, and most companies go bankrupt...”

Zhang Jun smiled after hearing this, and said: "The technology industry is turbulent, and competition is fierce. If you don't pay attention, the company may go bankrupt. It may often subvert the entire industry because of a new technology breakthrough by other companies. No matter which company No company can always stand at the top of the industry. I often tell my employees, 'Legendary Technology is only [-] months away from bankruptcy!' This is not alarmist talk, but a fact. Therefore, when entering the technology field, you must Knowing technology is the first element! I have some understanding of those technology companies in Hong Kong. I can only say that most of them are just selling sheep, and they don’t pay attention to product technology research and development at all, but want to go public , to hype the concept of technology stocks."

Zhang Jun is also convinced.

Hong Kong has a well-developed financial industry. Due to the existence of Legendary Technology, technology stocks are widely sought after by Hong Kong investors.

Those businessmen in Hong Kong started all kinds of hype operations, and the stock price of an empty shell technology company can be hyped to sky-high prices.

Some companies that were originally only foreign trade companies, but as long as they put on a technological shell, their stock prices immediately skyrocketed.

How can such a business atmosphere, just want to make quick money and deceive shareholders, can a great technology company be born?
Zhang Jun moved the company's headquarters out of Hong Kong, and it was also because of this reason.

When Bao Yugang heard this, he couldn't help but sighed.

"To start a technology company, you need to be down-to-earth. The business atmosphere in Hong Kong is too impatient. I want to transform the Bao family business into an industry. Zhang Sheng, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Uh, you're going to give up real estate?"

"No, it's just trying to grow the company into a diversified business."

"Well, in terms of industry, then I suggest you invest in the computer and mobile phone industries." Zhang Jun thought for a while and said.

Bao Yugang was surprised: "Legendary Technology Company is in the business of computers and mobile phones, so you are not afraid that my Bao family business will compete with you?"

Zhang Jun heard the words, smiled lightly, and said: "Don't be afraid, to be honest, one more you is not too many, one less you is a lot, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for your Bao family group to compete with Legendary Technology Company. Moreover, Legendary Technology is in the world The world faces countless competitors, why have we ever been afraid? If your Bao family business enters the computer and mobile phone industry, you can cooperate with me, and I can provide you with various spare parts."

Chips, memory, hard drives, graphics cards, display screens, etc., every time the Bao family business sells a product, most of the profits are taken by Legendary Technology Company, and Legendary Technology Company does not lose at all.

The Bao family business is actually equivalent to a sales company, and even the assembly of PCs and mobile phones can be handed over to Legend Electronics, a subsidiary of Legend Technology.

Although Zhang Jun's words were a bit harsh, Bao Yugang didn't care. Instead, Zhang Jun's support made Bao Yugang feel certain and decided to make computers and mobile phones.

Computers and mobile phones are the hottest industries at the moment, with great prospects for development.

Legend Technology mainly focuses on the high-end market, leaving a way for companies that focus on the low-end market.Although the mid-to-low end competition is more intense, but with the support of Legendary Technology Company, it must be able to occupy a place.

"Zhang Sheng, thank you very much, I decided to take your suggestion and enter the field of computers and mobile phones!"

"Uncle Bao, you are welcome. As long as you work hard, you will be able to make money."

"Haha, thank you for your good words!"

……

What will happen to the world if human beings lose their "association"?
Not so good if you lose your "Lenovo" computer.

In this life, Zhang Jun would rather support Bao Yugang than support "Lenovo".

……

United States, Wang An Computer Company.

At this time, Dr. Wang An had passed away due to illness, and it was his son Wang Lie who took over the company.

Wang Lie is not as talented as his father, and he has no prestige within the company. He was able to take the position and serve as the company's CEO, which was completely arranged by his father Wang An.As the saying goes, "if morality does not match, there will be disasters."

Since Wang Lie became the CEO of Wang An Computer Company, the company's performance has gone from bad to worse.

But fortunately, Wang An Computer Company did not dig into the horns in this life and tried to develop a set of computer standards independently, so the company has not closed down at present.

"Have you found out what product Legend Technology is going to release?" Wang Lie asked nervously in the meeting room.

An executive said: "Legendary Technology has not kept too much secrecy this time, they are going to release the Hongmeng desktop."

Wang Lie frowned and said, "We are about to release a new generation of Wang An Computer next month, which is on a collision course with the Hongmeng desktop."

Wangan Computer focuses on the mid-to-high-end market, and the competition with Hongmeng Computer is quite fierce.

"Boss, should we postpone the release of the new computer for a month?" A vice president suggested.

"No! Our announcement has already been released. Everyone knows that we will hold a product launch conference on the 1st of next month. If it is postponed for one month, our company will definitely be reduced to a laughing stock. Legendary technology. I, Wang Lie, can't afford to be ashamed!"

At this time, the disadvantages of major computer companies not having their own operating systems have emerged. IBM and Wang An Computer Company are all subject to Legendary Technology, and the entire software ecosystem is built around the Hongmeng operating system.

When people talk about personal computers, they will first put Hongmeng Computer first. Who told you all to use other people’s computer systems? Who is better than Hongmeng Computer?
This has also led to the fact that in the personal computer market, the sales volume of Hongmeng Computer far exceeds that of IBM and Wangan Computer.

Both IBM and Wang An Computer are not good at the personal user market. In addition, the mainframe business of the two companies has been hit hard by the rise of personal computers. The losses are very serious, and both companies have suffered huge losses. IBM lost billions of dollars this year.Wang An Computer Company is smaller, but it also lost [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars.

In order to save the company's crisis, Wang Lie used the method of "killing the chicken and taking the eggs", and greatly increased the software licensing fee from US$1000 to US$5000.These unpopular measures eventually hurt a large number of loyal users of Wang An Computer, and many of them abandoned Wang An Computer.

In order to defeat Hongmeng Computer in the personal computer market, Wang Lie decided to develop a new operating system.

He is confident and ambitious.

The operating system created by Wang An Computer Company has many bright spots and merits, and even surpasses the Hongmeng system in some aspects.

Wang Lie's behavior can be said to be willful or desperate.

Wang An Computer Company has reached the point of breaking the boat, going one step further to survive, and one step back to die.

Wang Lie pinned his hopes on the operating system developed by the company.

The same is true for IBM. This period was the most difficult period in IBM's history.Many people question whether IBM will go bankrupt.Gerstner was appointed as the CEO of IBM when he was in danger. He led IBM to transform from a computer hardware manufacturing company into a service-oriented company with service and software as the core, and positioned users as enterprise users, giving up the personal user market that the company is not good at. .

"Okay, boss!" Everyone couldn't resist Wang Lie's decision, so they could only nod their heads in response.

However, in the eyes of many people, this is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg, and many people suddenly have the idea of ​​changing jobs. What is the future of staying in Wang An Computer Company?

Time passes day by day.

The launch event of the legendary technology company is getting closer and closer.

The world's major media have even published various speculative comments on the front page headlines of the newspapers.

Economists, senior experts in the industry, etc. made their debut.

This led to the fact that the press conference of Legendary Technology Company has not been officially held, but it has already become popular.

January 1993, 1, Hong Kong at 30 o'clock in the evening.

The legendary technology launch event at Mandarin Oriental Hotel was crowded with people, and it was very lively.

Zhang Jun was wearing a light gray long-sleeved knitted sweater and a pair of blue jeans, simple and capable.

When people saw Zhang Jun appearing on the stage, they were immediately surprised.

"Damn it!! Zhang Jun is here!! Zhang Jun will not attend the press conference easily. Once he attends, he will release a very important product!!" A guest shouted immediately.

The rest of the people were shocked when they heard the words, and followed the sound.

I saw Zhang Jun walking slowly towards the middle of the stage.

In the audience, the screams of Zhang Jun's fans suddenly sounded, overwhelming the voices of others.

Zhang Jun stood on the stage, smiling wryly, what if the fans are too fanatical?
Just now Zhang Jun heard that someone was going to give birth to a monkey for him.

At this time, the music sounded at the press conference, and the stage lights were turned on. Everyone knew that the press conference was about to start.

Zhang Jun took the microphone handed over by the staff.

"Ahem, hello everyone, welcome to the product launch event of Legend Technology Company."

"First of all, I would like to introduce to you the new product that our company is about to launch - the Hongmeng desktop, which is also our company's first iMac series personal computer. The iMac G3 based on the Columbus architecture is an all-in-one personal computer. Contains both the monitor and the computer in a single case."

G3 refers to Kunpeng's third-generation 32-bit processor, which is powerful and unparalleled, making the computer run very fast!
After Zhang Jun finished speaking, a row of photos appeared on the screen behind him. The plastic shell was brightly colored, like a drop of water, very beautiful.

This product looks amazing, and many people immediately fell in love with this product.

"The iMac computer is unbelievably beautiful, it is simply a work of art." A girl's eyes glowed.

Boys might find such brightly colored computers a bit gimmicky, but girls love them.

Obviously, this computer is aimed at the female computer market.

But the integrated design also makes many boys very interested in this computer.

All in all, iMac 3G sales may not be too amazing, but the results should be very good.

Conventional computers are also sold by Legendary Technology, which are basically upgrades of hardware configurations.

In this press conference, the computer is not the focus, and Zhang Jun quickly finished the introduction.

In front of the TV, Wang Lie smiled disdainfully, "Hehe, this product is so-so, only young men and women like it. Business people will definitely prefer the computer that our Wang An Computer Company will release soon!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but focus on the TV again.

Zhang Jun said loudly: "Ahem, please pay attention next time, the things I want to introduce are very important!"

"For the guests present and the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, I think many of you have used the Internet."

"But the Internet seems to give everyone the impression that it's used to send e-mail..."

"Then, after today, you will have a brand new understanding of the Internet!"

"At this moment, I will solemnly introduce to you an epoch-making product developed by our legendary technology company!!!"

As soon as the words fell, exclamations immediately sounded from the audience.

"Holy shit, shit, shit, legendary technology company TM is so awesome, and I was shocked to release an epoch-making product after a few months!"

"Oh, it's really awesome, other companies can't match it."

"Made, I'm so excited, the legendary technology company is going to change the world again!!!"

"God, that's impossible, no one knows how to develop a breakthrough product better than me..."

"..."

After a few minutes, the conference site was quiet.

Looking at the small eyes that everyone was looking forward to, Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Okay, I won't make a fool of myself. This epoch-making product is called IE browser..."

PS: I went home today, squeezed out a little time to code words at night, I went to bed, and replenished my energy to fight again tomorrow
