Chapter 832 Bald Eagle's Second Boomerang
"The second generation of Panda mobile phones was launched in 89. Are there any problems?" Liu Hai asked about the second generation of Panda mobile phones again.

"No big problem!" Ni Nan knew that Liu Hai was not just asking about the mobile phone, because the second-generation mobile phone is a digital communication mobile phone with an entire system. The simplest difference is that it can send text messages.

Although Fenghuo Technology Company has a big reputation now, it is still losing money.

Because there are so many things involved, including chips in the communications field, computers, mobile phones and so on.

Panda phones and Panda computers can be said to be profitable, but the research and development costs of Panda phones' communication base station equipment are enormous.

However, Liu Hai's current cash flow is very healthy, whether it is the investment in his junior sister's pharmaceutical research institute, Heshun Aviation Aircraft Manufacturing Company, or overseas entertainment copyrights and game consoles.

There are also these applications on the computer, the World of Warcraft text interactive game, Hao123, the shares of these companies can also make a lot of money if they are sold.

Since these apps are so profitable, of course Liu Hai wants to help everyone get rich together.

As for CS, since the user base of the second-generation Panda computer is relatively small, this software has not been released separately.

The life cycle of an online game like this is very long. Since we are going to make an online CS game, we must make it better and better, optimize the characters, optimize the maps, and add many more modes.

There is biochemical mode, hide-and-seek mode, and so on.

Wait until this game starts to make money, then I will separate myself.

If you start out on your own too early, you won't make much money, because I believe many people are focusing on the games on their computers.

Of course, this is also a phenomenon that Liu Hai needs to show to the public, that is, making chips requires a long investment cycle and high risk.

"How's Intel doing recently?" Liu Hai asked again.

"The military gave IBM an order to use Intel chips."

"Some universities in Bald Eagle also use IBM computers and Intel chips."

“It is said that the university’s computers are subsidized, but their research and development of the next generation of chips has slowed down.”

"Their current mainstream chip is still the 85 chip developed in 386."

Liu Hai knew that in history, Intel launched the 89 chip in 486, which was the next year.

The 486 integrates 120 million transistors and has a clock frequency of 50MHz.

And RISC reduced instruction set technology was used for the first time in X86.

It also uses burst bus transmission.

However, if Intel wants to make the historical 486 chip now, it will encounter some obstacles.

That is the reduced instruction set. FiberHome Technology Company has many patents. If they want to avoid touching these patents, they have to develop a more complex instruction set system.

And the burst bus is already a patented technology of FiberHome Technology, so they have to choose another path.

486 is actually 386+387+cache.

The Loongson chip is now more than just an embedded chip. The performance of the dual-core Loongson chip far exceeds that of Intel's chips.

"We still need to remain vigilant!" Liu Hai knew that since the military gave the order to IBM, Intel and Microsoft would also be able to profit from it.

To be precise, these procurement proposals were pushed forward by these behind-the-scenes driving forces.

Intel, Microsoft, and IBM have a strong influence in the government.

Microsoft's first order that year was a carrot pit order.

So don’t say that you can become successful by starting a business in a garage. First of all, you need to have a garage, and then you can receive designated orders from the government. In this way, not to mention starting a business in a garage, you can even succeed in starting a business in a tent.

"Yeah!" Ni Nan nodded.

“In addition, we must pay attention to carefully identifying researchers returning from abroad. Not everyone wants to serve the motherland. Our talents should still be mainly cultivated independently, especially core technologies.” Liu Hai had no choice in this regard.

"I understand this!" Ni Nan nodded. Not to mention those who have returned from abroad, even some people in the country should be careful.

This not only requires a strict system, but also requires different research areas for different people.

In terms of chips and other aspects, FiberHome Technologies is already the best in the world, so it does not need many top foreign researchers.

Of course, it is mainly the bangs that can guide the general direction.

In fact, Intel and Microsoft are not having an easy time, although they have received many orders from the government and the military.

But the reputation is bad because these computers are also for people to use.

Everyone has overlooked one problem: computers are just tools. The computers made by IBM using 386 chips are much better than the first generation Panda computers and have much higher performance, but why do they have such a bad reputation?

Because the computer is just a port for accessing the Internet ecosystem.

Just like in 2020, the phone is just an access port.

No matter whether it is a mobile phone costing a few hundred dollars or a few thousand dollars, what you use is the Internet. What is the fun of a simple mobile phone?

If there is no access to the Internet, there is a big difference in the use of a mobile phone costing thousands of dollars and a mobile phone for the elderly costing only tens of dollars.

The most important function of a computer is to connect to the Internet. If there is no Internet, what is the use of such a high-performance computer?

Isn't there definitely something fishy going on here?

Therefore, the reputation of IBM computers has declined rapidly, especially as many people said that the performance of their previous computers was sufficient and they did not need new computers at all.

At the same time, the politicians who promoted this procurement bill have also gotten into trouble. The politicians like the Bald Eagle are opposing just for the sake of opposing. Moreover, it would be strange if they don't catch such a big fox tail as yours once it's exposed.

The opposition brought up the remarks made by the bald eagle expert on television and in newspapers, which was that computer performance would not be outdated in 10 or 20 years, so why spend so much money to upgrade computers now.

Especially some of the things said by the founders of certain companies themselves.

When a computer is not connected to the Internet, it is just a tool and people cannot experience any happiness on it.

The military is better. They can use the local area network of Fiberhome Technology Company. There is no patent for military use.

The government purchases cannot steal the local area network of Fenghuo Technology Company..., so the computers purchased by the Bald Eagle government do not have a local area network.

In fact, the earliest application of computer local area networks was by the Bald Eagle military, but it was said that no patents were applied for.

That is to say, the computers used by the Bald Eagle government are one by one.

Even the computers used by Bald Eagle College are separate and there is no local area network. How can the students of Bald Eagle College not be angry? They are also college students, but others can play games, chat and make friends.

I was facing a single computer, so naturally I didn't have a good impression of the computer in front of me.

The most direct manifestation of the decline in reputation is the drop in stock prices, although these three companies used many methods and invited many experts to speak out, saying that government agencies purchased these things in order to better serve the people.

But investors see it very clearly. Although many people in China are now pouring into the Internet field, the Internet for Bald Eagle is just a blank sheet of paper.

I don’t even know where to start, now everyone is just hyping the concept.

These investors turned their attention to London, across the ocean.

So although the three companies received orders, their stock prices fell.

Faced with this situation, Bald Eagle decided to set aside part of its funds to promote domestic Internet research.

It’s a pity that the government is willing to promote research, but the money it provides is too little.

Because in order to bypass the current Internet standards, R&D costs will have to increase by at least 10 times.

Internet standards are free!
So the Bald Eagle can adopt London's internet standards!

However, computers and other devices that are connected to Internet standards will be charged.

This is why first-class companies set standards!
That is to say, if the bald eagle wants to adopt the current Internet standards, then his computers, routers, servers and other things must also adopt the new standards, which are the equipment developed by FiberHome Technologies.

We have to pay patent fees to Fenghuo Technology Company...

So the Bald Eagle will have to pay as long as it uses the London Internet standard.

Of course, patents are not impossible to circumvent, but if you want to circumvent someone else's patents, you will have to pay more research costs.

And you don’t know what patent barriers the other party has waiting for you.

The bald eagle was forced into a corner and brought up the Pakistani agreement, saying that the actions of the Bull and the Gallic Rooster violated the agreement.

However, Niu Niu and Gallic Chicken later said that we could just withdraw from the agreement.

And they turned around and accused the Bald Eagle of violating the agreement first, saying that its car factories were built in certain Eastern countries and sold cars all over the world.

What's up with America Communications' cell phones and communications system?

And what are those mobile phones that Motorola sells all over the world!

You, the bald eagle, are shameless. You make a fortune quietly without letting us make money.

Now we withdraw from this agreement!
In fact, this agreement has long been in name only, and of course it only targets certain countries in the East.

If the bald eagle is not brought up, everyone will pretend that they don't know about the fortune made in silence.

Now that the bald eagle has clearly pointed out the Taurus, the Gallic rooster simply withdraws.

FiberHome Technologies has invested a large amount of money in Europe. For example, it established a LCD R&D center in Gaul two years ago, with annual R&D investment in the amount of US$1 billion.

Not to mention that Gaul has sold so many helicopters to certain Eastern countries, including tens of thousands of transport helicopters and armed helicopters. Most of the parts for the maintenance of these helicopters are imported from certain Eastern countries.

Because it's cheap. The maintenance cost of these thousands of helicopters is a huge sum of money every year.

Newspapers in both countries then criticized the bald eagle for being selfish and hindering free trade.

Such an agreement will only make the opposing camp more united and stronger.

If we were to force some Eastern countries into another camp now, that would be something no one wants to see.

Seeing that the fat bear is in trouble, are they going to push certain countries in the East to become the boss of the opposing camp?
So the Gallic rooster and the Taurus don’t know why the bald eagle is so stupid now.

Now some countries in the East are no longer the poor countries they used to be. What will happen if some countries in the East are forcibly pushed into the camp of the fat bear?

The whole of Europe might be inundated by the overwhelming number of flying scooters.

The bald eagle is fine on the other side of the ocean.

There were a few small countries in Europe that did not withdraw from the agreement and wanted to follow the bald eagle, so their mobile network was cut off the next day.

In addition, Internet operators also expressed their intention to stop operating networks in the country.

Then these small countries were in an uproar. First of all, the students in these countries were dissatisfied. How could I live without the Internet?

The Gallic Rooster and the Taurus even expressed their intention to investigate the capital pouring into these countries. The meaning is very clear: if you countries want to follow the Bald Eagle, then don't invest and make money in our country!
Liu Hai smiled when he saw this news during the Chinese New Year. This is what Europe is like in bulk.

However, these countries obviously did not hold on. Although the Bald Eagle expressed support, the people were not happy. After all, the mobile phones they bought are now useless?
I just spent $6999 on a high-end Panda nd generation computer, and now you say there’s no internet?
Just wait and see if I can smash your glass and that’s it!
What about those Internet cafe owners? If the Internet is cut off, the new Panda 2nd generation computers they bought with loans of hundreds of thousands of yuan will be wasted?
If anyone dares to cut off my network, I will hire someone to deal with him.

There are many people in this social world in Europe, and the politicians of these small countries had to resign because some of them actually received shooting warnings.

And who are the people who can open an Internet cafe in the local area?

Now the profit from opening an Internet cafe is higher than that from drug trafficking. Dozens of computers are sold, and then people line up to pay!

If there is a problem with your computer or the network, just make a phone call and Panda Computer after-sales staff will automatically come to handle it.

Is it possible for ordinary people to do such an easy money-making business?

The bald eagle shot itself in the foot, and the Gallic rooster and the bull even openly started doing business with the fat bear.

Didn’t you have an agreement blocking it before? Now we’re withdrawing.

Fat Bear was a little flattered by this change. He thought that his change had won the world's recognition, so he decided to step up his efforts and even thought about changing the system. (In the later period of history, he did have this idea.)
The Bald Eagle originally wanted to use this agreement to restrict the development of certain Eastern countries, but unexpectedly it ended up getting itself out of trouble.

Then the interesting thing happened. Xiaobenzi sued Motorola for a huge amount of compensation because it violated the agreement and sold technology from certain Eastern countries to our country.

And the lawsuit was filed in Bald Eagle’s own country.

When Australia saw that such a good thing was possible, I also sued Motorola because this guy sold so many mobile phones in my country.

The bald eagle's boomerang hit its own head again. The CEO of Motorola publicly stated that the politicians of this generation of bald eagle are all idiots, as stupid as donkeys in the countryside, and some actors should play donkeys.

Of course, the matter ended up in nothing. After seeing this result, Liu Hai was relieved. This is the benefit!

Because the Internet circle is big enough, has enough benefits, and involves enough people, this effect can be achieved.
