Chapter 230 The capital of Aihua Technology

The computer that catches your eye, is significantly smaller than the computer you usually see, the size of an A4 paper, the thickness is about 10cm, the white topcoat, you can't see the material, the hand touches it, like a steel plate, turn it over, and the entire bottom is full of round holes of 5cm size, you don't need to ask to know, in order to dissipate heat.

It's not pretty, but it's delicate and small.

Isn't this the HTPC home theater computer?

"Mr. Fu, this is also launched by your Aihua Technology?"

Fu Tong followed up and said: "Yes, Mr. Wang, now this mini computer host is our main computer, and at present, the sales are not bad." ”

Wang Anran nodded, and looked at the introduction next to him, Athlon generation Pro processor, 16M memory, decent, surprisingly, this host is also equipped with a ripper 103 discrete graphics card, I really don't know how so many things are stuffed into this small chassis.

At the bottom, the price in red is prominently marked.

"2999?

Wang Anran was very impressed, this kind of HTPC home theater computer, the standard itx motherboard used, the price is not cheap.

Hey, that's not right!

ITX Motherboard!

The timing is not right, this was proposed by VIA Technology in 2001 founded by Sister Wang, and it was not until 2008 that INTEL redefined the mini-itx motherboard that was more suitable for personal PCs.

Could it be that Fu Tong's brain also lives with a soul from the future, which makes no sense.

Yes, Wang Anran's eyes when he thought about Fu Tong made him a little flustered, and the next scene made Fu Tong dumbfounded.

Mr. Wang in front of him actually put his shoulder on his shoulder, so affectionate......

"Mr. Fu, tell me, what do you think?"

Fu Tong scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Wang, there are a lot of people here, why don't we go to the rest room to talk in detail." ”

Wang Anran nodded.

Come to the lounge and make tea.

"Sit down!"

"I'll just stand!"

This is the same as reporting work, even if it is reporting work, Wang Anran doesn't like the other party standing.

"Mr. Fu, you are the chairman of Aihua Technology, and you are in your territory, you like to stand, or I will stand with you. ”

Wang Anran made a gesture to stand up, but Fu Tong hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no, Mr. Wang, you sit, I sit!"

That's to the point, Wang Anran has questions, how did such a beautiful mini chassis come out, and where did the motherboard accessories come from?

"Mr. Wang, the mini host we designed is mainly a cost consideration?"

Wang Anran is getting more and more incomprehensible about this, not to mention other accessories, just an ITX motherboard, the price is not cheap.

The reason is very simple, the demand for ITX motherboards is not much, and the design cost of the entire motherboard, the cost of mold opening used in manufacturing, etc., is added up to each ITX motherboard.

If the amount does not go up, the cost of spreading it out is high, so in the image, ITX motherboards are much more expensive than the ATX and Mini-ATX motherboards that are commonly used.

"How do you reduce costs?"

Fu Tong took a breath, there was no way, even if he kept telling himself that he was the same as Wang Anran, he was also the head of a company, but sitting here, he still felt pressure.

"Mr. Wang, we have carefully studied it, there are too many interfaces on the computer motherboard, for the average user, many interfaces, in the whole life cycle of the computer, we can not use it, this is a waste. ”

Wang Anran nodded.

"How do you do that?"

"Only the most basic interfaces are left, including the LPT interface of the printer device, the redundant PCI expansion interface on the motherboard, the redundant IDE hard disk interface, the power interface is simplified, and the spare interface is all eliminated......"

This kind of design is very radical, but Wang Anran appreciates it.

"Then what other interface do you have!"

"The side retains the keyboard and mouse, audio, video VGA, and two USB ports, and only one memory slot and two IDE hard disk ports are kept inside, one is connected to the hard disk and the other is connected to the optical drive. ”

"What if I need to scale?"

When it comes to professionalism, Fu Tong's self-confidence is full.

"Mr. Wang, we have reserved two USB interfaces, and now the engineers of Aihua Technology are working this, and my idea is to transfer to the mainstream interface standards on the market through these two USB expansion interfaces. ”

After Fu Tong finished speaking, he picked up two samples and displayed them.

"Mr. Wang, this is a USB to LPT adapter card, and this is a USBModem, which can be connected to the Internet through the phone line!"

The idea is clear, the design is reasonable, and what makes Wang Anran even more pleased is that Aihua Technology already has independent R&D capabilities, which is very important.

It is worthy of Huaxin Technology, which is very good.

"Is the motherboard OEM by Panying Technology?"

Fu Tong nodded.

"With such a big change, the BIOS chip also needs to be redesigned, is it also a foundry of Panying Technology?"

Fu Tong shook his head.

"Mr. Wang, I remember when Huaxin Technology launched our minicomputer, you didn't choose AMI and AWARD to assist in BIOS design.

We Aihua Technology is the same, the entire BIOS chip and motherboard design is all completed by Aihua Technology independently, what Panying Technology has to do is to open the mold and manufacture according to our design.

Of course, the BIOS design of Aihua Technology is based on the public BIOS modification of Huaxin Technology, which is much less difficult. ”

Wang Anran patted Fu Tong's shoulder.

"Good job, but Mr. Fu, you have recently poached a lot of people from Huaxin Technology!"

"Mr. Wang......"

Seeing that Fu Tong's face was wrong, Wang Anran hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't blame you, it's good!"

A strong is not strong, if the whole country's IT/IC develops, then it is really strong, such a situation, Wang Anran likes to see, after all, the semiconductor market of trillions, Huaxin Technology is impossible to swallow in one bite.

But when I went downstairs, I saw that Fu Tong's face had not changed.

Out of the door of Aihua Technology, running a hundred meters, Fu Tong did not leave.

"Don't send it, Mr. Fu, you're busy with yours!"

"Mr. Wang, I want to invite you to dinner, I don't know if you have time. ”

"That's it, others don't know, but you Mr. Fu has a treat, of course you have time, it seems that this is the first time!"

Hearing Wang Anran's promise, Fu Tong's heart was put down, but seeing Wang Anran's eyes drifting with a figure, Fu Tong couldn't help but look over.

A young man in a white shirt, with a small head, and a very spirited person.

Wang Anran secretly said in his heart: "The eyes are not spent, this is Dongqiang? The big man of the future Qiangjing Company, he should not have thought that the future Dongqiang will occupy a place on the wealth list!"

And Liu Dongqiang also saw Wang Anran at the first sight, and wondered how this big guy had time to hang out in the computer city.

Their eyes collided in the air, and they looked away for a few seconds.

And Liu Dongqiang made a decision in an instant, put on a step that the six relatives did not recognize, and walked straight to Wang Anran. 8)
