Since the boss Li Xuan attaches so much importance to Apple, Kwong Jinliang naturally does not dare to take it lightly. In fact, he has already raised the threat level of Apple to the highest level.

Although Li Xuan does not seem to be involved in the daily management of the Oriental Group, his prestige within the company is unparalleled. In particular, executives like Kwong Jinliang who have grown up with Dongfang Electronics Company have an unconditional worship of him.

Kwong Jinliang's family is relatively wealthy, so after graduating from the preparatory school, he was sent by his father to study in Australia. The school he attended is the University of Queensland, one of Australia's top eight universities. But Kwong Jinliang didn't like life in Australia very much. After graduating from university, he lived in Australia for four years. He immediately returned to Hong Kong to work after he successfully became an Australian citizen.

Kwong Jinliang was just an ordinary electronic engineer in Australia, but he likes to play with computers in his spare time. After Apple's apple computer went on sale, he was not satisfied with the performance of the apple computer and made a series of modifications by himself.

And when he returned to Hong Kong in 1980 to look for a job, it happened to be the time when Dongfang Electronics Company was most eager for talent. It was Li Xuan himself who interviewed Kwong Jinliang, and the two chatted very happily on the topic of personal computers. Kwong Jinliang was also successfully admitted to Dongfang Electronics, and was appointed by Li Xuan as one of the leaders of the newly established personal computer R&D team of Dongfang Electronics Company.

Later, Dongfang Electronics acquired the British company Ikon, and the personal computer research and development team was also included in the Ikon company as a whole. Therefore, Kwong Jinliang became the head of the Hong Kong Research Center of Aikang Company, and was later promoted to the company's chief technology officer (). Aikon's first personal computer product, the 1, included a lot of his hard work.

Aikon is preparing to go public. Albert Hawke was invited to serve as the company. And the original Chris Currie wanted to change his post. So Kwong Jinliang gave up the post of chief technology officer. Served as Senior Vice President of Ikon Corporation.

However, after Kwong Jinliang served as vice president, he was still in charge of the company's R&D business. He firmly controlled the scientific research department of Aikang Company for Li Xuan. As a result, a series of products such as a series of computers and c-8203 workstations can be developed meticulously according to Li Xuan's ideas!

Later, with the support of some minority shareholders, a part of the management of Aikang Company began to drift away from the Oriental Group. After assessing the situation, the company's Baron Albert Hawk resolutely chose to move closer to Li Xuan, and cleared out a group of managers represented by Chris Currie, one of the founders of Aikang and Chief Technology Officer () . Icon Corporation.

As a result, Kwong Jinliang took over as the chief technology officer of Aikang. He also replaced Curry as a director on the Icon's board of directors. And Albert Hawke's performance in the past two years has finally gradually gained Li Xuan's trust.

Not long ago, Han Peng resigned from the position of chairman of the board of directors of Aikang Company and focused his energy on coordinating the work of the entire Oriental Group. Albert Hawke successfully took over as the new chairman of iKang's board of directors, and Kwong Jinliang, who just turned 32 years old, has gone a step further and became the third term of iKang.

At the age of 32, he became a star company with a total market value of more than 5 billion US dollars, and Kwong Jinliang became a world-renowned business hero in one fell swoop. Of course, although the outside world has some objections to this choice of Aikang, there is still a richest man in the world who is not even 25 years old in the Oriental Group. The pressure on Kwong Jinliang's shoulders is also much less virtually.

Kwong Jinliang is well aware of his weaknesses and strengths, he lacks the experience of managing a multinational company. The reason why Li Xuan chose him to take charge of Aikang Company is that he hopes that he can continue to plan the development direction of the company according to his own ideas.

At the same time, Kwong Jinliang was born in Hong Kong. It is also conducive to Aikang's further integration into the entire Eastern system. After all, the foundation of the Oriental Group has always been in Asia, and if Aikang wants to maintain its strong competitiveness, it cannot do without the support of the entire Oriental Group!

As for the lack of management experience, Kwong Jinliang is not a problem at all. There is also a Albert Hawke on top of him who will check. Kwong Jinliang knows that his main job is to strengthen the integration of Aikang and other companies in the Eastern system. There is also being a good speaker for Li Sheng, and formulating Aikang's future plans according to Li Sheng's ideas.

As for the specific management rights of the company. Kwong Jinliang can completely let go of Albert Hawke, the chairman. Because he is still young, there is no need to rush to fight for power.

As long as Li Sheng is behind his back, Kwong Jinliang doesn't need to worry that he will be overridden. But after five or even ten years, his experience is rich enough, and it is logical to take full control of Aikang.

You must know that Kuang Jinliang's current achievements are far ahead of other peers. He had returned to Hong Kong with another classmate who was studying at the University of Kunming with him. His classmate applied for a job at another electronics factory and was recently promoted to the company's technical director.

The classmate carefully called and wanted to invite Kwong Jinliang to have dinner together, because the owner of the electronics factory he was working for wanted to join the supply and marketing system of the Oriental Group. When he was in Australia before, the income of this classmate was actually higher than that of Kwong Jinliang.

And after Kwong Jinliang has now become Aikang, the total annual salary and stock option awards this year is likely to reach 8 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars. And the electronics factory where his classmate is located has total assets of less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Because he chose to join Dongfang Electronics Company, Kwong Jinliang also created a miracle of wealth that belongs to him! It was the legendary experience that happened to him that made Kuang Jinliang, like many other managements in the Oriental Group, to be blind to Li Xuan's new appointment!

"By the way, Olsen is aggressive this time. The competition in the enterprise computer market will become more and more fierce in the future. Aikang must prepare mentally in advance!" Li Xuan said.

Olsen, who he just mentioned, is the founder and CEO of the company. The company he founded relies on the pdp series of computers to go back and forth with the big blue ibm in the field of minicomputers. But the company has grown into the second largest computer company in the United States. But stumbled on a personal computer.

Olson once insisted that "personal computers will fail commercially". Because of his misjudgment, the company missed the best opportunity to enter the personal computer field. Let Apple rise rapidly in the late 1970s.

It wasn't until later that Ikon's series of computers took the world by storm that Olson woke up. But eager to catch up, he made another fatal mistake. The company rolled out three different personal computers in one fell swoop that it believed could cover the entire low-, mid-, and high-end market.

But the three treasures that Olsen had high hopes for, not only failed to show enough competitiveness in price, but also lacked in supporting software. Because the arrogant company did not choose the east-operating system, but chose to develop its own operating system independently. So many popular third-party software on the market can no longer run on personal computers.

So after these three new models went on the market, they suffered major failures, and their products were simply ignored. But Olson is a proud man. He is not willing to let the company bow to Dongfang Group to produce a series of compatible machines.

"The fiercer the competition, the brighter the market prospect of enterprise computers! In fact, not only the company, but even IBM is also developing its own workstation computer! And they are not ready to use this time, the s-100 of the Oriental Research Institute processor, but prepare to develop a new architecture yourself!

However, we are not afraid of competition. The research and development of the new generation s-200 processor of the Oriental Research Institute is nearing completion. We will also soon launch more powerful workstations and servers early next year! "Kwong Jinliang said calmly.

Before Aikon launched the LAN system. The company's minicomputer is actually a local area network system. But this kind of local area network composed of minicomputers is actually a computer, which is provided to multiple users for use at the same time. The more users connected, the greater the computing pressure on the computer. The required performance will be more advanced.

For example, the company's vax-11 computer can connect up to about 40 users, and the price of the vax-11 itself is as high as $200,000. In addition, it is necessary to build a special constant temperature machine room, and then purchase 40 terminal clients. As well as construction costs such as laying lines, the total investment for building a network with 40 users is about 500,000 US dollars.

And icon said to provide the LAN system. In fact, all computers are connected to a network line, and then a special network transmission protocol is used to exchange information with each other. Just use a server with higher performance than a normal computer. To specifically undertake the bridge of data exchange, and to store some data that is ready to be shared.

Using this model to build a local area network of 40 computers, even if you buy the most advanced and most expensive -5 computer from Ikon, the total investment is about 300,000 US dollars. Moreover, this solution can save the high maintenance cost of the constant temperature machine room.

It is precisely because of this disparity in price/performance that the company's minicomputer sales have declined year after year, and Olsen has to join the LAN competition. In fact, compared to other companies, the company still has some advantages. For example, the first version of the Ethernet technology standard was developed by Xerox, Intel, and Intel.

If you focus on server development, then let Apple focus on personal computer development. Both use Intel's processors, and they are still leaders in Ethernet technology. If they can unite, they really have the strength to start a battle with Aikon in the field of LAN!

Li Xuan analyzed his ideas to Kwong Jinliang, and then continued: "Now, Intel and Apple are three companies united, and their hardware strength is no less than ours! Even if we can take the lead in launching the s-200 processor , but with the background of Intel and the company, as long as they find the right direction, it is not difficult to catch up!

Therefore, we must fully tap our strengths and use our own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses! Even if we can't maintain an advantage in hardware, we can still beat our opponents in software! Apple and the company have a fatal flaw, which is that their systems are closed.

They are still in the old thinking of greed for perfection and want to complete all the work by themselves, so that our east-system easily agrees with the entire operating system market! No matter how advanced the performance of the computer, its ultimate purpose is to solve various practical problems of users.

And this requires a variety of application software to meet the different needs of different users! The sum of various application software on the east-system has exceeded 5,000, including office software, learning software, computer games, etc.! Therefore, when we carry out marketing promotion, we must fully exploit this advantage! "

Accompanied by Kwong Jinliang, Li Xuan walked around the Olympic news gathering and editing center near the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The dormitory is borrowed by the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee as a part of the Olympic Village to accommodate the athletes, coaches and officials from various countries who come to participate in the competition.

Dongfang Company set up the donated news gathering and editing center near the campus to facilitate the reporters to conduct interviews. In fact, the Olympic Organizing Committee also borrowed the dormitory of the University of Southern California for the use of the Olympic Village.

But one of the worst colleges in the country is surrounded by chaotic black ghettos. It is located in the Westwood District of Los Angeles, surrounded by the famous wealthy areas of Los Angeles, with good law and order.

Although the Olympic Games will not officially open until tomorrow, the news gathering and editing center is already full of people and it is very lively. Han Lixin and Tu Jun walked into this beautifully decorated news gathering and editing center with a curious expression on their faces.

"Don't you look dumbfounded? You both take out your documents, and I'll take you to the service desk to get an access card! You can't get in without an access card!" Another colleague who received them said with a light smile on his face. .

In fact, when he first came here a few days ago~www.readwn.com~, he was as curious as the two of them. But now that he has taken it easy, he can pretend to be disapproving of superiority in front of these two later colleagues.

Han Lixin was the CCTV commentator who stopped Liu Wei at Los Angeles International Airport. Next to him, Tu Jun was a photojournalist from Xinhua News Agency. They were the last to arrive in Los Angeles to cover the Olympics.

This is the first time that the People's Republic of China has participated in the Olympic Games since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is also the first time that the Chinese media reported the Olympic Games. Xinhua News Agency dispatched 5 reporters, while CCTV dispatched a 15-person reporting team consisting of reporters, cameras, commentators, etc.

This is already a large-scale overseas reporting operation for CCTV. But that number is nothing compared to the broadcasters that do the main broadcast of the Olympics. The entire broadcast company, responsible for the broadcast of the Los Angeles Olympic Games, the total number of staff more than 1,500 people.

Today’s CCTV is far less tyrannical than a few decades later. The foreign exchange expenditure of a 15-person team in the United States is already a huge expense for the leaders of the TV station. Staff is dispatched! (To be continued..)
