Chapter 521 Hong Kong Companies
This ......" Li Jiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and wanted to laugh, but he still held back out of politeness.
"Go on. Duan Yun motioned for Li Jiang to continue unpacking the carton.
The next moment, Li Jiang opened the two boxes, revealing important parts such as the monitor host and keyboard.
Compared to the vertical free-standing chassis commonly used in later generations, this IBM case is placed under the monitor, and the keyboard is also large, giving it a heavy design feeling.
"This is the XT5160 microcomputer produced by IBM in the United States, which is the world's first upgraded model of IBM PC5150, the CPU uses an 8088 black processor, the memory is 640k, the hard disk is 10 m, the graphics card is an 8-bit cca full card, and the operating system cc-DOS4.0 ......" Li Jiang neatly placed the main components of these computers on the coffee table, and explained to Duan Yun seriously.
"Okay, you don't have to tell me so much detail, you can assemble this computer for me first, and let me see it after it is started. Duan Yun interrupted Li Jiang's words and said.
"Okay. Li Jiang nodded, and then skillfully assembled the computer.
It took less than 5 minutes for Li Jiang to assemble the computer.
After turning on the power supply, Li Jiang pressed the start button, and the screen quickly switched to the black and white DOS system.
"This is the most advanced personal computer in the United States, it has many functions, compared to the first generation of products, this 5160 computer with DOS4.0, I will show you its basic functions......" Li Jiang said, sitting in front of the computer, tapping the keyboard a few times.
"I'll try it myself. Duan Yun motioned for Li Jiang to leave, and he wanted to operate the computer himself.
"If you want to use this kind of computer, you need to go through special training, and it is difficult to get started without a few months and half ......a year of study," Li Jiang said with a smile, but when he saw Duan Yun sitting in front of the computer, a trace of disdain flashed on his face.
In Li Jiang's view, the people who come to their company to buy computers are some of the company's procurement personnel, who only have a general understanding of the computer, but there are few who really know how to operate, they are all bought back and put in the unit to train employees, and this computer is different from the 5150 sold in the past, and the system used is different, and many of the operation designations need to be re-learned, and ordinary people do not have this technology.
However, when you saw Duan Yun put his hands on the keyboard and quickly and skillfully typed out a series of DOS commands, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, there is only nothing.
Duan Yun had dealt with computers for half his life in his previous life, whether it was in college, or a few years as a technician in a factory, and later studying for graduate studies, computers were the tools he used the most, so he was very familiar with this kind of DOS system, so that it input instructions and the speed of the operating system. It made Li Jiang, who had studied computer for a whole year, feel a little incredible.
In fact, for Duan Yun, the main purpose of buying this computer is to write some assembly language, develop BIOS machines, develop ISA cards, and process some financial and technical data in the factory and the accounts of his own workshop.
In addition, one of the most important uses is the software program system for the CNC equipment in the factory.
"This ...... Boss, what kind of work are you doing?" A few minutes later, Li Jiang asked Duan Yun with a bit of respect in his tone.
"My eldest brother is a gear factory manager and a college student. Gao Lei on the side said proudly.
"At such a young age, he is already a college student manager, amazing, really young and promising. When Li Jiang heard this, he suddenly felt a little more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Duan Yun.
"By the way, does your company sell printers?" Duan Yun didn't pay attention to Li Jiang's compliment, but asked directly.
"We have a Toshiba 3070 printer produced by Toshiba Corporation here, which is a 24-pin printer, and the price is 6,000 yuan......," Li Jiang said.
"Is it in stock?" Duan Yun asked.
"This is the same as the computer, it still needs to be booked in advance......" Li Jiang said with a slight frown.
"Do you need to make a reservation in advance to buy anything from you?" Duan Yun asked.
"I'm really sorry, it's like this, the owner of our company is from Hong Kong, and there is no warehouse in Xiamen, so when customers buy large goods, we need to contact the headquarters in Hong Kong, and their warehouse will deliver the goods, so we need to book in advance. Li Jiang said apologetically.
"It turned out to be a Hong Kong registered company. ”
Hearing this, Duan Yun completely understood.
The southeast coast has always had a glorious tradition and a long history of smuggling.
Since this region is facing Taiwan's proximity to Hong Kong and Macao, there are many overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan compatriots abroad.
Since the early 80s, the international and domestic environment has changed, and smuggling has been rampant along the long coastline along the southeast coast.
At that time, there was a slogan that said, "Workers, peasants, soldiers, and businessmen, everyone come to do business, and come to Guangdong from the east, west, north, south, and middle." It can be seen that smuggling activities were rampant at that time.
At the peak, on November 9, 1980, there were 3,400 vehicles entering the town in Jinfeng Town, Gaoguanle County, Fujian Province, with more than 30,000 people and a private goods transaction volume of more than 2 million yuan.
In the past two years, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang provinces have seized a total of 300,000 smuggling cases and arrested more than 5,700 smuggling boats from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan.
Although the state has struck hard to crack down on smuggling, and the results have been obvious, in fact, between the early 80s and the 87s, another kind of legal smuggling activities appeared, and this period was precisely when the three provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang adopted special and flexible measures in the economic and foreign trade fields, and the special economic zones were established one after another, especially during the period when Fujian's trade space with Taiwan was developing, and some special foreign trade companies also appeared in Xiamen, and these foreign trade companies colluded with lawless Hong Kong businessmen inside and outside the country under the legal banner of enterprises and institutions, and wantonly smuggled and imported high-grade durable consumer goods and raw materials that were in short supply。
Because of the banner of foreign trade with Taiwan, there are many preferential policies, such as tax exemption, can be used, and this distant foreign trade company should be taking advantage of the name of Hong Kong businessmen's investment, secretly using various means to evade taxes and import some foreign electrical equipment.
But in any case, this company is still legal at the moment and can issue invoices, and Duan Yun has no problem buying computers from here.
“...... Let's talk about the printer later, okay, let's get this computer thing done first. Duan Yun said.
