Huaxia University is not far from Zhongguancun, and it takes only twenty minutes to walk.

Five minutes later, Mu Xiaohu's car drove into a two-way, four-lane street, this is Zhongguancun Street, the street is lined with trees, and the trees have grown branches and leaves in the March season, and the branches are dense to block the morning sun.

Why is it called Zhongguancun? Because this was once a desolate cemetery, most of them were the tombs of eunuchs, because the Ming and Qing dynasties called eunuchs "Zhongguan", so this place was called "Zhongguan Tomb", and over time Zhongguan became Zhongguan, and the cemetery also became a village.

Liu Lang has read books about this so-called "Silicon Valley" of the country, and in the past 30 years, many well-known companies have come out of here, the most famous are Lenovo Group and Vantone Group, and many Internet companies have also started here.

But now, there are no high-rise buildings, no crowds, and no one would have thought that in ten years it would be the cradle of the country's high-tech industry.

Mu Xiaohu parked the car on the side of the road, and the two of them got down and walked along the street casually.

Now Zhongguancun Street on both sides are mostly low earthen houses, there are also some brick houses, it seems that it should have been built in recent years, the two walked for less than two minutes, and saw a plaque hanging in front of a small brick house "Hongliang Electronic Equipment Maintenance Co., Ltd." ”

"Hehe, there's an electronics company here. ”

If you want to talk about the development of Zhongguancun, it started in eighty-two years, and now it is eighty-four years, two years have passed, there are a few companies here is not unusual, don't look at electronic equipment for ordinary people It seems that it is still very far away, but in many state-owned enterprises and government departments, what printers and copies have begun to be gradually used, for example, Mu Xiaohu's business license just came back is typed out with a printer, but the performance of the current printer is too little, and there should not be many people who can use it.

"A house of this size is a company? It's shabby, Liu Lang, we have to rent a big house, preferably a building!"

Mu Xiaohu obviously looks down on this kind of "small archway"-like place.

"Let's go, let's take a look inside!"

Mu Xiaohu gestured inside, he was not short of money, and if he wanted to rent, he would rent the best.

Zhongguancun Street is very long, and it takes at least more than an hour to go out from south to north, but Liu Lang is fine, one is to find a better house, and the other is to see this legendary street, so the two of them walked to the street.

Liu Lang had not been here in his previous life, he thought that this was just a street, those enterprises were built along the street, until now he found out that Zhongguancun Street is only a part of this future science and technology center, many alleys and small roads will be connected to this street in the future, what "Garden Road", "Mending Road", "Yumen Road", "Kidnapping Hutong", "Sheep Neck Hutong" and so on, don't look at them now they are inconspicuous, they are all small doors, in more than ten years, it is likely to be the address of a large company.

"Liu Lang, look, there is also a company there!"

Mu Xiaohu touched Liu Lang and said.

Liu Lang looked over and saw that there was a decent brick house not far away, the front face of the house had been transformed, and after removing part of the wall, it was replaced with an aluminum roller shutter door, this kind of door is still rare, and the entire wall has also been painted.

On the top of the roller shutter door is a plaque that reads "Guotong Computer Company!"

"What is a computer?"

Mu Xiaohu also saw the plaque at this time, but he didn't understand the words on it.

"There are computers here?"

Liu Lang was also stunned.

Last year, when I came to the capital with my parents, my mother saw that calculators were so novel, and ordinary people had no concept of computers at all, but there was a computer company here, and there were people who had traveled to this era like themselves?

Just as Liu Lang was in a trance, a postman on a bicycle went from far to near.

"Jiang Bo's letter!"

The postman shouted at a house.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

A man ran out of the house to take the letter.

"Eighty-five......... Here's it!"

The postman came to the front of the National Computer Company.

"Yang Zhichuan's letter!

The postman shouted inside.

"Yang Zhichuan? Oh! I know!"

Hearing this name, Liu Lang suddenly realized.

The name Yang Zhichuan is now a personal name, but ten years later, the Lenovo Group that will be founded by him began to be known by the Chinese people, and twenty years later, Lenovo brand computers have become household names in China and become the first brand of domestic computers.

Liu Lang did not study computer science in his previous life and in this life, but in his previous life, he had a wife who was a computer expert, although technically he was not a professional, but he loved Wu and Wu, and he still knew very well about the history of computer development in the country and even the world.

This Yang Zhichuan was originally an employee working at the National Institute of Electronics......... Speaking of the National Institute of Electronics, it was another bitter tear.

After the reform and opening up, the first people to come into contact with the outside world were the group of scientists, and the various research institutes of the state were of course the places where these scientists worked.

Many of these people have studied abroad and have seen the advanced technology of the West, and after opening up, of course, they will act as the vanguard of reform, and it is certainly not their strong point to engage in the private economy, and no one will want to contract the research institute, what they can do is to rapidly improve the country's scientific level.

As a result, in just a few years, research projects of various names have emerged one after another, sometimes more than 100 at most, but as a result, it seems that they are getting farther and farther away from the international level.

The same is true of the National Institute of Electronic Technology, which has started to develop its own computers with the support of the state, so how can it reflect the level of computer technology? The most intuitive thing is, of course, the speed of calculation.

Therefore, the institute spent five years to develop a large-scale computer and won the first prize of the national "Major Scientific and Technological Achievement Award", but its computing speed of tens of millions of times per second is really shameful compared with the international supercomputers that run 300 million times per second.

It stands to reason that a computer that runs tens of millions of times per second, although it is not as good as the advanced goods of foreign countries, but it is no problem to do the math, but the calculation of this research institute is aimed at the military industry, but at this time the country's army is still in a "primitive" state, and the most advanced equipment is radar, which basically has nothing to do with the computer, and the original intention of the design is wrong.

As a result, the computer was shelved from day one and was never used until it was scrapped.

The computer was not completed, and the Computing Research Institute also lost the state's financial support, and everyone relied on their wages to eat, and if they wanted money to engage in research, they would find their own way, so the director started a variety of operations, that is, the Guotong Computer Company that Liu Lang saw now, and this Yang Zhichuan was the person in charge of the Guotong Company.

This is the beginning of Yang Zhichuan's fortune and a great opportunity.

Twenty years later, there are many books about Yang Zhichuan, a legendary entrepreneur, and there are countless compliments for him, but in fact, his technical level is not very high, but his management level is not possessed by scientists, especially the ability to be good at borrowing power is unmatched.

From the very beginning of the establishment of the original computer company, he did not completely sever the "mother-son relationship" with the computing institute, Yang Zhichuan not only did not want to do that, but even hoped to strengthen this kind of inseparable blood relationship in many cases.

At that time, the company's start-up capital was 200,000 yuan allocated by the calculation institute, the nature of the assets was of course a "state-owned enterprise", all appointments had to be approved by the institute, the company's employees could still enjoy the right to be promoted in professional and technical positions and salaries in the institute, and the company could also use the research results of the institute free of charge, and even use the office and telephone in the institute.

In the past ten years, the company's bank loans are all in the name of the computing institute, which naturally solves the problem of early sources of funds, while fully enjoying the state-owned resources, Yang Zhichuan enjoys considerable autonomy in the power of financial, personnel and business decision-making, and it is also during this period of time that he relied on the name of the National Research Institute to reach a lot of cooperation agreements with IMB Computer Company of the United States on computers, laying the foundation for the ultimate success.

This is a very mixed state, no one seems to want to sort it out, only when Lenovo gradually grows in the future, its asset property rights become sensitive, but at that time Yang Zhichuan relied on the "superb" skills and skills to achieve the perfect restructuring, the state-owned enterprises under their own name, which created the largest computer manufacturing enterprise in China.

Compared with many other entrepreneurs, Yang Zhichuan is lucky, he relies on the "state-owned enterprise" tree to be able to take out loans and enjoy a lot of technical support, on the contrary, look at those early private entrepreneurs, want to get a bank loan is simply a fantasy, without the support of funds, private enterprises, especially high-tech enterprises, it is almost a dead end, unless you change careers to do those low-tech industries, products can be quickly sold to return funds, there is no other way.

When Liu Lang was sighing, a man about forty years old and wearing gray clothes walked out of the "gate" of Guotong Company, and Liu Lang recognized it at a glance, it was Yang Zhichuan, who was well-known to people all over the country twenty years later.

"These postman comrades!"

Yang Zhichuan said politely to the postman.

"Old Yang, what's wrong with the incident I entrusted you?"

The postman apparently knew Yang Zhichuan.

"Oh, I remembered, the calculator thing, right?"

"That's right, didn't you say that there was a way to get a three-dollar calculator? I have a few colleagues who want to buy it too, so ask me to come to you!"

The other party said.

"How many do you want?"

Yang Zhichuan immediately asked.

"Twenty of them?"

"Yes, yes, now?"

Yang Zhichuan nodded again and again.

"Yes, now!"

The other party replied immediately.

"Let's go, come into the house with me!"

The two men entered the room, and a moment later the postman came out, with a paper bag wrapped in newspaper, and apparently he had bought the calculator he wanted.

Three yuan a piece, two yuan cheaper than those "fallen masters" sell, but this calculator is only one dollar at most, and Yang Zhichuan earned forty yuan in this business.

The big boss who will be worth billions in the future will now even do business for dozens of dollars, who will believe it!

"Let's go, let's go ahead!"

Liu Lang beckoned Mu Xiaohu and walked forward.
