God-level Trader of Rebirth

At the beginning, Chen Weidong told the people in the computer software department that in order to make Infinity's product technical standards become the technical standards of the world, it was necessary to give up part of the benefits.

Many people have a sense of loss.

But now, seeing those reporters blushing in front of them in order to compete for the sound card and graphics card, they realized that what Chen Weidong did was correct.

If you want to receive, you must first give.

Only after the technical standards have been established can we talk about occupation.

Otherwise, no matter how advanced your technology is, there is nothing you can do if others don't use it.

Apple was in such an embarrassing situation before the "iphone" came out.

Bill looked at Lu Zhanhai and the others in embarrassment, and then whispered a few words to the nearest reporters. When those reporters heard this, they immediately beamed with joy.

Other reporters rushed to inquire and learned what Bill said.

"After a long debate with the general manager of Infinity, I finally threatened to ban Huaxia's products from entering the American market, and asked him to open up all interface programs, so that manufacturers all over the world can participate in the development of supporting software."

"At the same time, they will be forced to disclose the technical standards of sound cards and graphics cards to the world in half a year!"

Haha, only half a year.

After half a year, our American products will quickly drive all the inferior products of Infinity Company out of the market!

Everyone was smiling and chatting with each other.

Wearing suits and leather shoes, smiling, they walked around the venue in a personable manner, greeting everyone they knew and talking in low voices.

The product launch event finally returned to their familiar atmosphere.

Because, the advantage of the Huaxia people can only last for a short half a year!
Lu Zhanhai took the technicians of Infinity Company and left the venue. They really didn't want to stay there any longer.

After the press conference, he recalled Chen Weidong's wild laughter in his mind: "Give them the market? Yes, let a group of wage earners make money for me, I'm too happy!"

Open technology standards are open. I can't live like Apple with a perfect product.

Our Infinity Company is like running a restaurant. We cook a sumptuous table of food and drink, eat a few mouthfuls ourselves, and then charge all the people who come in to eat.

Moreover, we can sit down and grab this dish with them, and at the same time, they need to pay us for every bite.

They don't have to work hard to open up the market, they take the initiative to join in, and we just need to sit at home and collect money. Such a beautiful thing is my favorite thing to do.

When our technical standards become the standards they follow, it means that all of them have applied for long-term meal cards in our restaurant.

When they see other restaurants, they are already locked in our restaurant!

Even if someone wants to change to another restaurant to eat, various cost issues must be considered.

At that time, I will let all other restaurants close down, or I will not hire chefs and come directly to our restaurant to order, and they will act as takeaway and delivery staff
Open technology, is it really so profitable?
Lu Zhanhai was a little lost.

His intuition told him that Chen Weidong's approach should be correct, the boss has never made a mistake.

Suddenly, he suddenly understood.

What the boss has been saying all the time, using business to support research, refers to this.

We only need to make our technology the standard followed by most people, even if our production technology has not yet been developed, we can still make a lot of money.

Although it is only half a year, it is enough for us to recover the cost.

Now we only have 260 nanometers in the manufacturing process of graphics cards and sound cards, but that is also the result of the people in the optoelectronics laboratory deliberately hiding their clumsiness.

In other words, this is just a balance between commercialization and cost reduction.

This does not mean that Infinity Corp. can only manufacture 260nm integrated circuits.

When those foreigners think that Infinity's technology is nothing more than this, let's introduce the next technical standard
Hehe, technology, it turns out that you can play like this.
Bill was also frightened by the sudden attack of Infinity Corporation.

They are afraid that another company will come out and release a super software, which will cause extra problems.

The newly launched windows soon released the interface code.

Multimedia drivers, sound drivers, video drivers, and interface standards, even gamepad interfaces, file compression formats, etc., have all been announced on the Internet.

The most important ones are direct 3d three-dimensional data, qpengl three-dimensional graphics processing library, and multimedia data development kit.

The multimedia data development package is a complete multimedia solution, and the [-]D data package is the enhancement of this multimedia and [-]D graphics.

Special 3D software can be developed for construction, machinery and other aspects.

Belongs to real productivity!

This solution is perfect.

In less than a year, developers of educational multimedia teaching courseware, industrial software, and game manufacturers have announced that they will develop computer games specifically for Windows.

Coupled with Microsoft's own office software package and the professional-level graphics processing software jointly developed with Infinity, Windows has become a comprehensive and powerful system software.

With so many software vendors joining in, Windows sold an astonishing 600 million copies within six months of its launch!
And in the next year and a half, it successfully occupied more than 90.00% of the world's personal computer operating system market.

Successfully realized Bill's wish to unify the operating system country.

However, Chen Weidong's attempt to wipe out all software vendors by relying on this standard is still wishful thinking.

To be precise, his ambition was only partially realized.

Windows' open technical standards have attracted hardware manufacturers from around the world.

However, Infinity's sound cards and graphics cards, with relatively low prices and extremely high cost performance, quickly sold well in the United States, and even purchased in large quantities in Europe and the United States.

If they hadn't divested their business and authorized some factories in South China to manufacture, I'm afraid the market would be in short supply.

the same year.

The Harman International Company of the United Kingdom has launched their "Sound Art Mixer 16", which integrates a dedicated sound driver chip.

】

Subsequently, dozens of manufacturers around the world launched their own multimedia hardware boards.

The more famous ones include Toshiba, Diamond, Yamaha, etc.
For example, the sound quality of Toshiba hardware boards with optical fiber digital interfaces is even better than some inferior CD players!

The market competition for graphics cards is particularly fierce!
In addition to the graphics cards launched by Infinity, there are ati, adm, Nvidia, and other European and American semiconductor manufacturers, such as Leadtek, GALAX, and Gengsheng, who have also joined this battle.

For a time, the multimedia hardware market launched a very fierce battle.

The domestic OEMs for Infinity are not professional manufacturers of computer hardware after all. They have a weak foundation and not strong technical strength. In this battle, they were quickly defeated.

Thanks to the low price advantage, it was able to keep the low-end market.

Otherwise, they will be completely eliminated.

It is precisely because of this fierce competition that has lasted for several years that many domestic manufacturers have realized the importance of technology after suffering so much and began to learn from it.

As for the manufacturing technology of the sound card and graphics card, it has also been fully demonstrated in the market test.

The conclusion is that Infinity's products, let's be honest, are not enough to take the international stage.

However, through the early stage of monopolizing the market, it won back a large amount of research and development funds, and, through the confrontation with international manufacturers, it understood its own weaknesses and shortcomings.

In the next few years, after they acquired some small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in Europe and the United States, their technology has also been supplemented and improved to a certain extent.

The era of fierce competition for multimedia hardware came to an end in [-].

In the sound card and graphics card market, there are only a few companies left in the end.

However, due to the low entry qualifications in this market, there are always new manufacturers pouring in in an attempt to snatch a part of the market.

The multimedia hardware market has always been in a situation where the surface is calm, but the undercurrent is actually surging.

The Infinity Optoelectronics Laboratory and the Material Laboratory are working hard to improve the technical level. After ten years of hibernation, the second fierce market competition has finally started.

And the competition that time was even more fierce and cruel. Countless small companies were squeezed out of the market one after another, either closing down or being acquired.

At that stage, users are often worried, whether the manufacturing company of the graphics card they bought will go bankrupt tomorrow.

As a result, the market share gradually moved closer to those large companies that survived.

When the second market battle ended, Infinity finally became one of the top hardware manufacturers in the world through ingenious marketing, high-quality technical indicators, and perfect after-sales service.

However, at the end of [-], in Chen Weidong's mind, Infinity Company should have become a world-class company.

Of course, this assertion is not entirely wrong.

After all, in the software industry, due to Infinity's one step ahead, coupled with Chen Weidong pointing out the right path.

The computer software department took the lead and rushed to the forefront, winning a lot of money for the company.

Only later, the major change in the company forced many ongoing projects to stop, and a large number of technical personnel were abolished and replaced.

The software department also gradually fell into a disadvantage in the world-level competition due to lack of stamina.

I have to say it is a pity.
