"Uncle Jin, the times are different, don't you talk about emancipation of the mind now. Chang Chang took out an investigation report from his bag and handed it to Minister Kim, "We won't live to see our neighbors, and soon we will face challenges from foreign brands." This is not normal market competition, but a life-and-death struggle between two ideologies and two architectures, and now it seems that foreign PCs are in an absolutely strong position, and we are now engaged in a defensive war. As long as you win the domestic market, it will be smooth sailing after that, and it can even be ***. If we lose, we're all lost, and we don't even have a chance to turn the tables around. ”

Minister Jin carefully read this report, and the analysis was thorough and far-reaching, far beyond his reach.

"Is it an exaggeration?" Minister Jin put down the report and asked, "I really can't believe that you are losing every step of the way, and the matter is really incredible. If a small CPU can dominate the world pattern in the future, then we can just close the market and buy time. ”

He shook his head for a long time: "You are running, others are also running, how can you grow up without experiencing bloody wind and rain, even if you close the market against the 'tide', it is just a bunch of 'fat' and 'meat', and you can't afford to be beaten and kicked." So the top priority is to establish a base, use this as a foundation to fight abroad, I am not afraid of anyone to compete head-on, and my processor is the best in mass production now. ”

"Let me think about it. Minister Kim began to think that what this report said was the truth, and all kinds of evidence and extensions were extremely lethal, and people couldn't help but believe it.

For a long time, he still agitated the 'flower' tongue: "It can't be delayed any longer, now the domestic microcomputer market is in jeopardy, the product is seriously lagging behind, and in a few months, the 0521 microcomputer can only be given to African brothers." ”

Minister Jin seemed to have made up his mind, and resolutely said: "There are instructions from above, asking us to fully cooperate. What are we going to do, you say. ”

Chang Daxi: "I have taken the lead abroad and basically controlled the system software of the PC, which is a strategic 'sex' advantage. And IBM is surrounded by compatible machine manufacturers, and I have a killer feature, so I'll keep it for now. The top priority is to re-support the status of the domestic 'fine' simple microcomputer, and no longer let the PC enter. ”

"What I mean is that the establishment of a number of new microcomputer assembly lines based on the current computer factories should of course be dominated by state-owned enterprises, which have the capital and technical conditions, and the production will be easy. But state-owned enterprises, as you know, one is the cost and the other is the process, which is really a drag, and it is okay to bully and bully people in China, and it is a dish to compete in the international arena. Chang took out a list again: "Therefore, I suggest that after a year, the computer production and distribution rights can be opened to some capable private enterprises, which are some manufacturers that I have cooperated with during this time, and they can all become excellent parts suppliers." ”

"That's not good, the policy doesn't seem to allow it. "Minister Kim is guilty.

"Policies vary from time to time and from place to place, and from inside to outside. Chang Chang smiled, "Could it be that everyone else has been killed at the 'door' of the house, and we still cling to the old ideas?"

"I haven't been talking for a long time, I don't seem to have anything to do with you. Minister Kim also laughed, he is not a dogmatic person.

"Who said that it is not my business, it is not that we want to set up a joint venture factory. "Long said, "It's definitely too late to start construction now, I mean go hand in hand, it's best to find a ready-made manufacturer first, let's have an industrial reform joint venture pilot, how about it?"

Minister Jin thought for a moment and nodded: "I have this authority, just look for it in those open cities." This is no problem, many people are worried about this license, and they will break their heads when the time comes. ”

"Let them fight, this is not 'fat' and 'meat', this is responsibility, this world is weak 'meat' and strong food, there is only one year for them to practice, and after a year, they will have to face those evil wolves in the world. ”

"Well, let your assistant talk to us about the specifics. Minister Kim stood up, "I'll reflect your suggestions to the above." ”

Reprinted ~~~~~~ this book 16 K Literature Network.1 ~~~~~ This dialogue laid the foundation for the future computer industry pattern, many small and medium-sized private enterprises made their fortunes during this period, and the Great Wall, the largest computer company in China, was also established at this time.

At this time, the Great Wall Electronics was only a draft of Minister Jin and Changchang, and the specific how to bargain was far less than that of the later B.

Now the most "forced" on the market is the NEC compatible machine, because because this thing is not only higher than the original IBM machine, the price is also low, the most important thing is that this thing can also support printing Chinese text and graphics, with various Japanese printers, it can be called sweeping.

As for the old 0521 machine from a few years ago, there are still people selling it, just one benefit, the leather is solid. No matter how you toss it, it's not bad.,Compared with IBM-PC, although the processor' sex can be a little worse.,It's okay to make do with it.,It's a low-end machine.,The price hasn't dropped.。

I have long seen this situation in my eyes, and I have a solution in my heart, and this time I specially found someone to consult in the industry alliance.

I remember for a long time what was the most lucrative in these years when expensive PCs were not popular, and that was typewriters. At this time, people used computers to type documents, and they used to use huge mechanical typewriters, but after having computers, they could type for 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, which was a bit of a luxury.

It was at this juncture that Sitong was born, signed an agreement with a Japanese printer manufacturer, imported a lot of needles at a very low price, and equipped with its own development of dot matrix printing driver, made up a set of microcomputer system, sold hot.

This is the idea that has been fought for a long time, and the current 0521 machine is too expensive, which is completely disproportionate to its 'sexuality'. It's not that the host is expensive, but that the first set of microcomputer systems is composed of three parts, the host, the display terminal, the printer, the host is completely localized, but the printer and the display terminal are completely imported.

According to the results of the long-term internal investigation of the industry alliance, it was found that the profit was amazing, and an ordinary display terminal was quoted at 2,000 US dollars. The official 8-pin printer imported by the Ministry of Electronics is Toshiba's 2008, the import price alone is 1,000 US dollars, and the external sales price is more than 9,000 yuan.

Among the members of the industrial alliance, there is a special "door" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to do import and export, named Wang An, these import and export prices are provided by him for a long time, which is quite credible.

After listening to it for a long time, I smacked my tongue, obediently, I knew what else I was doing to develop semiconductors independently, and an 8-pin printer dared to sell for 1,000 dollars, isn't this a blatant robbery?

"In fact, there is no need to be so expensive, Toshiba's products are good, but not so good, the most important thing is that Toshiba's machine can be directly connected to all kinds of PCs, printing Chinese characters, which other machines can't do, and it's understandable that it's so expensive to sell." Wang An is Kankan, he has been responsible for this work at the Chinese Academy of Sciences for many years, and is very familiar with this, "Other printer manufacturers are far from this kind of profiteering, although the 'sex' can be the same, but can not print Chinese, and it will be sold for three or four hundred dollars." ”

Long sigh: "The 'sex' ability of fart, write a driver to support Chinese, and 'spend' $1,000 to import, what do these stupid people of the Ministry of Electronics eat!"

Wang An is said: "You are an understanding person, of course you know the twists and turns. To tell you the truth, hehe, I'm also stupid now. ”

Chang Changqi said: "What do you want to do?"

"I have a buddy from the Institute of Automation, who participated in the development of Chinese processors in the early years, and I talked to him about this a few days ago, and he said the same as you, that is, write a driver, control the pins of the printer to print Chinese characters, and it really becomes." ”

"Is there such a thing?" "Long was surprised, it seemed that he had found another cowman, "Quickly introduce me, this thing is going to be done, but it is a huge opportunity." ”

Wang An said with a smile: "You are the big boss, me and that brother are only worried about no funds, you have a unique vision, and you have been abroad, let's see if there is a chance." ”

The two came to a private house, where the buddy Wang An said worked in, the room was not big, but it was full of all kinds of equipment, and there was almost no place to stay.

"This is the buddy of the Automation Research Institute I said, my own family, Wang Jiqian. Wang An is introduced.

"Hello, hello, I know you, Professor Cao!" said the young man, holding his very deep glasses.

"Professor!" he couldn't laugh for a long time, "I don't dare, I'm just a technician, and I haven't reached that level yet, hehe." When did we meet?"

Wang Jizhi said a little 'excitedly': "That was a few years ago, I listened to your class at Peking University, about the implementation of Chinese computers. ”

I have a long impression that I did take a class at Peking University when I was developing the 0521 machine, but there are hundreds of people below, and I can tell who is who.

"Hehe, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, just right. Chang Chang smiled, "I heard Mr. Wang say that you have some experience over the years, so I'll take a look." ”

Wang Jizhi hurriedly moved the stool, cleaned up the work in his hands, and took out a few blank papers: "Brother Wang told me, that's it, you see." ”

After a long time, I took a look at it, and it was a few pieces of printer paper with several big Chinese characters on them - "Automation Research Institute".

"What is this?" said Chang Qi.

"I 'made' it on this printer. Wang Jizhi introduced, "That's right, our group is doing control projects and bought a computer. Of course, we don't have enough budget, a PC system costs fifty or sixty thousand, and we can only buy some others. This goes into an Australian-made DATAMAX8000, and the CPU is a Z80. Later, he equipped himself with a display terminal, Toshiba printers couldn't afford it, and bought an Oki 8-needle shot. ”

I listened to this long-winded man for a long time, and I didn't have any content for a long time. Wang An was a little embarrassed, and said to Wang Ji: "You say the point!"

"Yes, yes. Wang Jizhi himself was a little embarrassed, "That's right, this system is pieced together by ourselves, and all the drivers have to be written by ourselves, so I suddenly came up with this idea - the working principle of this printer is to use eight needles to make a dot matrix of graphics, theoretically speaking, it can support Chinese characters." ”

Chang Chang's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's how this word is typed?"

"Yes. Wang Jizhi also said excitedly: "Being able to print these words means that you can print all Chinese characters." Thinking about it this way, we can develop a software that supports Chinese characters and sells it with a printer, what do you think?"

Wang An also looked at it for a long time, nervous in his heart, what they wanted was to find a Kaizi, whether they could make a fortune in one fell swoop.

For a long time, his heart was bright, as long as he had a little head, he had to pay for it, so he smiled and said: "This thing is too simple, I won't invest it!"
