Although, relying on the special relationship with Dongfang Group, Aikang can gain some advantages in the competition with other compatible machine manufacturers. √∟ is small, but this advantage will be slowly erased over time.

For example, Company B had requested to intervene in the research and development of the r-2 processor, but Li Xuan refused. At the beginning of the development of the r-2 processor, Aikang started the research and development of the ab-5 computer at the same time, so that the new 32-bit computer products could be launched soon after the r-2 came out.

But this kind of thing can't happen again and again, and as the PC market grows larger, other electronics giants are paying more and more attention to this market. If the Oriental Research Institute has been giving Ikon this special treatment, then other computer manufacturers will definitely express strong dissatisfaction.

When this dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, they either use external intervention, such as applying for an antitrust investigation by the Department of Justice, to force the Oriental Institute to make concessions. Or directly join forces and leave the Oriental Research Institute behind to support other processors, such as the rs processor that Intel is developing.

But no matter which way, it is unacceptable to Li Xuan. Therefore, in order to appease the emotions of other manufacturers and to consolidate the dominance of the r architecture in the field of personal computers, Li Xuan has promised companies such as b that starting from the next-generation r-3 processor, icon will no longer enjoy any waiting . The Oriental Research Institute will treat all computer manufacturers equally.

In the increasingly fierce market competition, Aikang must have a unique competitive advantage in order to maintain its leading position in the market. Third-rate companies sell products. Second-class companies sell technology, and first-class companies sell standards.

At first. It is through the disclosure of the technical standards of ab-3 computers that Aikang unifies the technical specifications of the personal computer industry in one fell swoop. Established its position in the industry. But for the newly listed ab-5 computers, Aikang will naturally not choose to open the standard for free. Instead, Ankang has put together a series of new patented technologies applied to the ab-5 computer, ready to be licensed in a packaged form.

Aikang has successfully persuaded that most of the small manufacturers of compatible machines who do not have much independent research and development capabilities, but are eager to launch their own new 32-bit computers, accept Aikang's ab-5 technical standard packaging authorization scheme.

After conquering the low-level small manufacturers, Aikang turned to negotiate with major competitors in the industry such as B and Kemodo. Although these companies have sufficient independent research and development capabilities, they lack enough time. After all, the Oriental Research Institute was under the direction of Li Xuan. Until the r-2 processor was listed, the relevant technical information was provided to other computer manufacturers.

If they do not choose to accept the technical standard of ab-5, they may not be able to gain a foothold in the era of 32-bit computers at all under the squeeze of small manufacturers and Ikon. Because by the time they launched their new computers, the market had already been carved up by Ikon and the smaller manufacturers.

And once they accept the ab-5 technical standard formulated by Aikang, it means that Aikang has become the dealer in this game, and can be very calm and conducive to an invincible position.

Icon is preparing to set up a personal computer technical standards committee to formulate technical specifications for personal computers. The standard of the first generation of 32-bit personal computers is based on the technical standard of ab-5.

Icon hopes to take advantage of other major competitors now. Before they had the chance to launch a new computer, they forced them to sign the Alliance under the City and agreed to join this association led by Ikon. Once the technical standard of ab-5 is raised to the industry standard, then Aikang will be able to receive a soft hand just by charging the patent fee.

"Albert. How's your talk with b?" Li Xuan asked first after seeing Albert Hawke. As the o of Ikon, he personally flew from London to the United States to preside over the negotiations with company b. It can be seen that Aikang attaches great importance to b.

In terms of technical strength, Aikang Company even has Li Xuan's rebirth aura bonus. Still not comparable to b. For example, Aikon has made great efforts to come up with a new generation of bus technology applied to the ab-5 computer. In fact, there are better alternative technologies in company b's patent library.

Another example is the hard drives on the ab-5 computer, which are provided by Western Digital and Czech Technology. But in fact, b's hard disk manufacturing technology is even better, because a few years ago, the luxury accessories of hard disks only appeared on mainframes and small and medium-sized computers, and that was the focus of b's business.

"Surrender or death! Obviously these two options are uncomfortable for b, but I believe they will make the right choice!" Hawke said with a chuckle.

"The world's largest computer company must have its own pride, and we need us to put some extra pressure on them to make them recognize the situation as soon as possible! Acer Computer Company in Taiwan-Taiwan, China, as the first company to choose to cooperate with Aikang, the next A new computer is coming out this month!

The Computer Corner Company will launch this new computer in all stores around the world at the same time! Albert, you can tell the news to Mr. B's president, I wonder if he can continue to be indifferent! "Li Xuan said with a smile.

The reason why Aikang can suppress b is because the other party did not focus on personal computers at all. If company b really devotes itself to the competition in the personal computer industry, it is not difficult to launch a new computer that surpasses the ab-5 in an all-round way.

Of course, the possibility exists in theory that Company B is now protected from the disease of large corporations. More importantly, time is not on their side, and a small company like Acer ~www.readwn.com~ is about to launch its own 32-bit computer with the support of Ikon. And no matter how fast company b's research and development speed is, it will be at least half a year after it has fully grasped the technology of r-2 and launched a new computer.

And half a year is enough for the personal computer industry to undergo a thorough reshuffle. It is precisely because of this that Hawke's words are full of confidence, surrender or death, and he is not ready to give B a third way out.

Acer is just the beginning. Aikang is very considerate to provide systematic solutions to small manufacturers with insufficient R&D capabilities. They only need to pay a large but affordable patent fee to Ikon, and then they can quickly launch their new computers with Ikon's support. If B and other big companies are still going to choose to develop slowly, when their products come out, the day lily will be cold!

"Let's not push too hard. If company B simply chooses to withdraw from personal computer manufacturing, and instead provides technology to other competitors such as Apple to compete with us, Ikon will have a headache at that time!"

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Actually, Aikang's background is still insufficient, and it is still a bit reluctant to be the sole maker of the rules! As long as b is still willing to stay in the camp of ab-compatible machines, we can appropriately give up some benefits! For example, the following A generation of bus technology, you can use b's technology!" (To be continued..)
