Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 372: Product Explosion
Although the name of Jinzuan Technology looks quite tall, it is actually a small workshop that produces floppy disks. Before that, it opened a shop in the computer city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to do some small business.

The boss, Lin Jiandong, has a very flexible mind. Although he hasn't read much, he has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and he can barely be called a successful person.

Recently, he discovered that there are too many people doing this in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and the introversion is serious, so he had to come to Baiyun to see if he could open up the sales of his floppy disks in other provinces.

As a result, he heard about this electronic product fair just after he came to Baiyun City. He signed up without saying a word. big client.

However, due to the strength of Jinzuan Technology, although he came early, he could only rent a booth at the outermost edge to display his own floppy disks.

In front of the booth, Lin Jiandong watched people come and go, but very few people entered his shop, and he was immediately depressed.

He turned around and patted the shoulder of the only clerk, and said to him with a sad face: "You said that our business is suddenly so difficult to do?"

The clerk also followed him all the way from his hometown to work hard, and now seeing that his job is about to be lost, he immediately volunteered to suggest: "Boss, why don't I go inside and investigate?"

Lin Jiandong thought that there was nothing wrong in the store, so he waved at him: "Go, go, let me have a good look at what's going on."

After a while, the clerk ran over in a panic, and told Lin Jiandong the bad news eagerly: "Boss Lin, something is wrong."

Lin Jiandong, who was already in a bad mood, frowned even more when he heard her words, and asked angrily, "What happened?"

The clerk swallowed, and then told the truth: "There is a shop not far next door, which sells something called a USB flash drive. Here, this is the instruction manual. I brought it back."

Then he continued to explain to Lin Jiandong: "Mr. Lin, this thing is small and exquisite, easy to use, and its function is exactly the same as that of a floppy disk. I asked someone about it, and they have already signed tens of thousands of them in just half a day. The order has been placed. I also saw a few customers who asked about products at our place just now, and all of them went to him."

"Is there such a thing?"

Surprised and angry, Lin Jiandong slapped the table suddenly, his eyebrows almost stood up, and scolded angrily: "It's unreasonable! You stay here, I'll go and have a look."

Don't look at the angry expression on his face at this time, but in fact he is extremely terrified in his heart. After all, his floppy disks cannot be sold to others. After all, it is possible to get a part of the market share.

But this new USB flash drive will directly kill the floppy disk.If everything written in the instruction manual is true, wouldn't the species of floppy disk be eliminated overnight?
This is the scariest thing!

It's like, you were still thinking about it yesterday, you moved a load of bricks and didn't make much money, thinking that you must work harder tomorrow and move an extra load of bricks.

But when I woke up the next morning, I found out that someone used a crane to move the bricks, and you were directly abandoned by the market.

At this moment, Lin Jiandong has a fear and helplessness of being abandoned by the times.

He hurriedly left his booth, and soon found the booth of Mingyuan Technology not far away.

The booth of Mingyuan Technology was not only decorated in a garish manner, but there was also a long queue at the entrance, which looked like a sea of ​​people, and it was hard to pay attention to it.

Lin Jiandong saw a lot of people queuing up, and the wall was impenetrable. He wanted to go in to find out, but he had to wait in line honestly.

After a while, Lin Jiandong got into the queue and walked into the booth of Mingyuan Technology.

Shi Qingxue had just sent away a customer who was inquiring, and when she saw another person coming, she immediately greeted her warmly and said, "Hi customer, are you here to see our USB flash drive? Let me introduce our USB flash drive to you." ..."

Shi Qingxue heard Lu Yiming and the others say it many times, and she memorized all the rhetoric, so she naturally acted as a shopping guide.

Lin Jiandong was shocked when he saw Shi Qingxue.

What is the origin of this Mingyuan Technology?Even the shopping guide has such a fairy-level appearance, isn't this a blow to dimensionality reduction?

Lin Jiandong thought of the pimple-faced clerk in his shop, and wished he could change Shi Qingxue back.

Thinking about all kinds of messy things in his mind, Lin Jiandong, who is usually articulate, couldn't help but stutter: "Ah... okay."

Shi Qingxue introduced the functions of the USB flash drive, and then asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

Lin Jiandong wanted to say it was very good, but when he turned his head, he immediately smashed his mouth and said flatly: "Not very good. I see that your propaganda here has been saying that such a small thing can replace a floppy disk. I think It's just nonsense."

Shi Qingxue was a little dumbfounded all of a sudden, not knowing how to answer these words.

After all, she just listened to too many introductions and followed the script. The average customer has already started talking about the purchase by this time.

At this moment, a pair of warm big hands appeared in front of Shi Qingxue. Shi Qingxue saw that Lu Yiming had already stood in front of her.

"How can it be nonsense? We have all the functions that floppy disks have, and we are more portable than floppy disks. Isn't it enough to replace floppy disks?"

Lin Jiandong asked unhappily: "Who are you?"

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "I am a shareholder of Mingyuan Technology and the inventor of the USB flash drive."

Hearing that the USB flash drive was invented by Lu Yiming, the people around him all looked at him with curiosity or admiration.

Apart from anything else, being able to invent at such a young age is a very compelling thing in itself.

"You? Inventor?"

Lin Jiandong looked at Lu Yiming, his eyes were full of disdain and suspicion: "Don't talk nonsense, I just sell floppy disks, I've never heard of this thing, it suddenly appeared and said it could replace floppy disks? You piss yourself Take a look, at your age, does it seem to be an invention? This kind of thing has never been made abroad, but you did it? I don't believe it!"

There were voices of doubt among the crowd.

"Such a high-tech thing can be made with the current level of technology in China? I doubt it."

"That's right, there is no such thing in foreign countries, but it has appeared in China? How is it possible?"

"Could it be the same as that one again, going abroad to steal other people's things and coming back, insisting that they belong to me?"

"It's not good to lie when you're young."

"I admit that this thing really surprised me, but I definitely don't think that such a thing can be invented in China now."

The 90s was the most rampant era.

Various magazines are basically advocating foreign technology and civilization.

Even seven-year-old Edison used the light reflection principle of a mirror to light up a dark room and save the life of his mother who was in urgent need of appendicitis surgery. Such outrageous jokes can appear in textbooks openly.

Under such an environment, the inferiority complex of Chinese people is probably no less than that of Mr. De and Mr. Sai.Many people pessimistically believe that Yangyang Huaxia has been eliminated by the times, and can only follow behind the ass of Europe and the United States forever gnawing at the leftovers they discarded.

Lu Yiming took out a copy of the invention patent certificate, smiled slightly, and said, "This is the invention patent certificate of the USB flash drive, issued by the Intellectual Property Office of the Beautiful Country."

Seeing the invention patent, many people shut up.

Facts speak louder than words. Beautiful countries all admit that the USB flash drive was invented by the person in front of them, and their doubts are meaningless.

They just feel bad.

After all, what has been believed in for a long time was broken on this day.

Lu Yiming went on to say: "There is no evidence for empty words. There is a computer here. You can try it yourself to see if it works."

Unwilling to give up, Lin Jiandong bit the bullet and picked up the USB flash drive, and operated it on the computer.

Then, he served.

As the propaganda said, with this thing, floppy disks will be eliminated directly.

And the fact is exactly the same. The computer produced in the second decade of the 21st century has basically canceled the configuration of the optical drive on the mainframe.

Because floppy disks and CDs are gone.

They do not die from competitors, but from the progress of the times and the development of technology.

Lin Jiandong felt very uncomfortable.

Because he was acutely aware that he was unemployed.

Selling floppy disks is an outdated business.

Lin Jiandong put down the flash drive and walked out of the crowd dejectedly.

Looking at his back, Shi Qingxue felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and said in a low voice: "He looks so pitiful."

Lu Yiming said with emotion: "This era does not believe in tears, and the wave of technology is rolling forward. If you make a wrong step, you may be lost forever."

the other side.

Deng Guoshun walked slowly in the exhibition hall with his hands behind his back.

On both sides of him, there were a variety of technological products, which made him dizzy.

"I really didn't expect it. Technology is changing with each passing day. There are actually domestic products here."

Five years ago, he went to Singapore as a visiting scholar to study and work at the same time.

As a "foreign wage earner", Deng Guoshun is not only engaged in software development in Aztech Company, but also engaged in technical support and exhibition work in DigitQlResouRses Company, and also serves as the system manager of Philips Asia Pacific Company. Working in the company, accumulated a wealth of management experience.

In the spring of this year, Deng Guoshun's first private company was established in Singapore. Its main business is to provide computer outsourcing services for local high-tech companies.

He heard that Baiyun held an electronic product expo here, so he came here to try his luck and see if he could take a few orders.That's why he's here today.

Suddenly, the discussion of several people next to him attracted his attention.

"I heard there was a booth outside showing something called a USB stick, which claims to make floppy disks and CD-ROMs obsolete."

"It's so amazing? Which major international manufacturer? Europe, America or Japan and South Korea? This is going to subvert the entire technology industry."

"No, it's a little-known technology company in the Mainland. It is said that it has only been established for a month or two."

"Really? When did domestic companies have this strength? Can they still make inventions? I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe me, go and have a look, it's just outside Area A."

The conversation between these two people shocked Deng Guoshun.

Regarding the research on flash drives, he has been thinking about it recently and has found a direction. He is thinking about finding his senior brother Cheng Xiaohua in the Chinese Academy of Sciences to do this project together. As a result, someone has already done it now?
Deng Guoshun was not calm anymore, he quickened his pace and almost trotted to the booth of Mingyuan Technology.

Looking at the small booth, Deng Guoshun felt like a dream.

After getting the USB flash drive sample, Deng Guoshun, who was excited, tried it on the spot, and found that it was indeed the product he had dreamed of, and it was what he had always wanted.

But he was not the one who invented the USB flash drive!

What the hell is going on here?Why would someone walk in front of me?

Deng Guoshun couldn't figure it out. He had done a serious investigation before and found that there was no flash disk product like a USB flash drive on the market.

I was planning to start a business with this project, so why did someone get ahead of me?

He stopped a staff member and said hurriedly, "Where's your boss? I want to see your boss."

Not far away, Lu Yiming heard that someone wanted to see him, so he handed over his work to Li Quanwang and walked over.

"I am the boss here, are you looking for me?"

Deng Guoshun introduced himself, and then asked, "Who made this USB flash drive?"

When Lu Yiming heard that the person opposite was Deng Guoshun, he was immediately in awe.

You know, according to the original historical trend, the inventors of the USB flash drive were Cheng Xiaohua and Deng Guoshun.

Now the inventor is Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming said: "The USB flash drive is my idea, but the person responsible for the research and development is Mr. Cheng Xiaohua, the technical director of Mingyuan Technology."

When Deng Guoshun heard Cheng Xiaohua's name, he was astonished and relieved at the same time.

"It turned out to be him, so it's not surprising. With his technical strength, it's not surprising that he can do this."

In fact, not long ago, Deng Guoshun met Cheng Xiaohua, a fellow villager, and he was planning to discuss flash disk technology with Cheng Xiaohua.

As a result, it was a step late.

While sighing, Deng Guoshun was unwilling to give up, and asked, "I have some connections abroad, and I want to act as an agent for the sales of your product abroad, shall we cooperate?"

Lu Yiming looked at Deng Guoshun playfully.He is very clear about Deng Guoshun's thoughts, this guy must know the value of the USB flash drive, and wants to use nothing at this time.

Overseas representative, how many benefits are there in it?

Lu Yiming rejected Deng Guoshun's proposal without hesitation.

"Sorry, I haven't thought about it yet."
