Now the company has formulated two strategic development directions, the development of the personal computer business is to let users have a good sense of experience, how to be comfortable, and even Liu Lang is ready to show them the shape design of the Apple computer in 20 years, so that they can make it, but the current hardware conditions are not enough, so they can only give up temporarily.

Another direction is the development of software, this direction should also be people-oriented, truly let users feel simple when using, Wanhe is now VIE software development company has become the main department of VIE company, with more than 100 employees, their task is to develop a variety of application-oriented software, in addition to PS and photoshop, there are voice processing and video processing software, and these two businesses are also developed in cooperation with industrial light and magic, sharing technology.

Speaking of voice processing and video processing programs, in the VIE company and industrial light and magic cooperation for more than a year has been nearly completed, this program memory is too large, a computer can not carry at all, need three or four computers online, because of the powerful function of the software system, now "Toy Story" film has been nearly completed, and it will be released in half a year, this film is the world's first 3D animation film, and it will definitely cause a sensation when the time comes.

Liu Lang's goal is of course not limited to this, his goal is to make engineering chips that can be used on CNC machine tools, Intel is in the leading position in this regard, many CNC machines in Professor Clare's laboratory use their company's chips, and Texas Instruments, they also have a high level of engineering chips.

Compared with computer chips, the scientific and technological content of engineering chips is worse, after all, unlike computer chips, which need to carry so many "fancy" processing functions, but engineering chips are not those computer chips that can be replaced, and there must be a complete production chain from beginning to end.

Now SMIC has set up a department to specialize in engineering chip technology, and secretly sent many young people to study abroad, such as Liu Lang's fellow countryman Wang Haijun, who learned chip engineering in the island country, specializing in engineering chip research, and will graduate in another year, just to Fucheng to help himself.

The conference was very successful, and many industry media reported the news, especially the small game that attracted everyone's attention, don't look at the game is very simple, but it is a big thing for the computer industry, this is the world's first game with a computer chip to run, with epoch-making significance.

The "Pentium 3" computer began to go on sale, and 1,000 units were all sold out in just one week, and at this rate, VIE still has 2,000 units in stock, and the remaining customers can only buy computers after a month.

The biggest drawback of VIE is that SMIC manufactures chips too slowly, only about 1,000 pieces per month, which was very fast two years ago, because at that time, VIE sold only more than 3,000 commercial computers throughout the year, and their biggest business is printers and office equipment, but with the price of computers has been greatly reduced, the personal computer business has increased rapidly, and the purchasing power of the people is not comparable to those companies, more than 200 million people in the United States, even if one in 10,000 people buy computers, it is tens of thousands of units, especially many schools in the United States have begun to introduce computersFor example, Stanford University purchased 1,000 computers for data query at one time last year and opened computer courses.

In this general trend, and the computer industry related industries are rapidly improving, in comparison, SMIC's manufacturing speed is too slow, some can not keep up with the development, this is no way, even if SMIC is now a national key development of enterprises, but after all, it can not completely independently produce chips, but also need the cooperation of other enterprises, the efficiency of those enterprises is far less than those foreign individual enterprises, from the approval of raw materials, Purchase and manufacturing need the approval of the relevant state departments, non-market interference is very large, why the state proposed to establish a "special industrial zone" in Fucheng, is to try the kind of direct market model, to avoid non-market interference.

Because SMIC's manufacturing speed was too slow, Wan An discussed the matter with Liu Lang, and he proposed to build another factory in Wanwan, with an annual output of about 5,000 yuan.

Liu Lang can't refute this proposal, after all, VIE wants to make money, and now SMIC's production speed has affected VIE's shipment speed, and the other party is bound to open up a new manufacturer.

Of course, Wan An also promised that the mainland side would account for the majority of the share, because he wanted to give Liu Lang's face, and even in Wan An'an, the future development of his company also needed Liu Lang's advice, and his prediction of the market was too accurate, so accurate that Wan An felt that he was a god in the upper realm.

In November, Liu Lang was idle, and he didn't care much about the work of Shengtang Company, anyway, he handed over the new song to Ye Jinsheng, and the rest was to release records to promote these things, and the Sun family has set up a financial team, this team has more than 20 people, responsible for the review and standardization of Shengtang Company's assets and debts, but Shengtang Company does not have any debts, all are excellent assets, and the listing process will be very smooth.

Professor Claire left Liu Lang with a topic that he didn't need to pay attention to at all, Liu Lang had already finished writing it and put it at home, and the project of General Motors also had a preliminary plan after several months of testing, this plan belonged to General Motors' top commercial secret, and only less than three people really mastered it, and then they would conduct various experiments according to this plan.

Maybe success, there may be mistakes, and the probability of mistakes is very high, after all, science is about constantly failing, and then in the failure to keep summing up lessons, until the end of success, this is the right way of science, those great scientists in history, which one is not a result after thousands of tempering?

Liu Lang gained a lot in this project, obtained a large amount of test data through "miscellaneous", and found a lot of problems through data analysis, and he also read the first draft of the transformation plan issued by the laboratory for about a minute by chance.

This may be the negligence of those staff, or they may have ignored Liu Lang, a child who can be seen every day, in response to the old saying "one hundred secrets and one sparse......... In short, Liu Lang saw it, and in just one minute when a researcher handed over a few pages of data to Liu Lang and went to find something by himself, Liu Lang's ability to remember ten lines at a glance played a role, and he memorized these pages word for word in his mind, and then ......... Then he stole a lot of the secrets of General Motors' engines.
