More than 20 years later, not many people know the name of this company, but in the 70s and even the early 80s, there was no one in the United States who did not know the name of VIE, and even a supergiant like IBM regarded this company as its strongest opponent.

VIE's main business is the world's advanced word processing system, which has the same function as the world-famous Microsoft system, so much so that Gates, who later occupied the world's richest man all year round, recalled that if the VIE company had not declined, he might not have become the richest man in the world, and he might even be just a teacher.

Hong Yu once said to Liu Lang that this Wan An is a computer genius, so he is not only an entrepreneur, but also an inventor, his invention in the computer can even be compared with Edison's invention in electrical equipment, he is in the forefront of the times in the production of logarithmic computers, small business computers, word processors and other office automation equipment.

In particular, the invention of the word processing machine, once it came out, it caused a sensation in the United States, no one has ever seen that it can be written so lightly on a computer, but this invention has made Wanan a well-known entrepreneur in the United States, and has occupied a dominant position in the word processing system for many years, which has also brought him huge wealth, and the company has developed rapidly like a blowout, almost suppressing IBM, the largest computer company in the United States.

VIE climbed to the highest peak in '85, with revenues of more than $3 billion that year, and VIE himself became one of the top five super-rich people in the United States with a value of $2 billion, and became the richest Chinese in the world.

However, the arrival of the peak also made Wanan proud and began to rest on his laurels, thus further losing the spirit of innovation.

The development of science and technology in the world in the eighties seems to be uneventful, but it has accumulated infinite strength, first of all, with the maturity of miniaturized integrated circuits, the computer industry has quietly begun to become the industry that is about to dominate the world, and the symbol of this historical trend is the birth of personal computers and the emergence of mutually compatible software, these two iconic industries gave birth to two super enterprises, one is the "Apple" of Qiao's gang Computers, the second is Bill Gates, who has dominated the position of the world's richest man for nearly ten years, and the powerful and invincible Intel company.

The advent of the personal computer and the widespread use of software compatibility are the trend of history that cannot be changed, as long as someone can follow this trend, it will surely soar, and otherwise, it can only be annihilated by this historical frenzy.

VIE became the latter, a computer company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars and a promising future, after reaching the peak in 85 years, it plummeted in just three years, and finally could only rely on the dismissal of employees, and even by selling patents to maintain, but even so, VIE did not get rid of the fate of bankruptcy, and in the mid-90s, this once extremely brilliant, almost defeated IBM, and made the future world's richest man become a teacher's enterprise has no one knows, and finally only became a handful of mud and sand under the tide of scientific and technological development.

Such a character, standing in front of Liu Lang alive now, how could he not make him feel embarrassed!

"Isn't that old man Wan Anwan?"

Mo Lan suddenly said, she is a native of Hongmen, and she is very familiar with well-known overseas Chinese, she was familiar with Wan'an just now, and now the other party said that she has a computer company, which made her suddenly remember.

"Hehe, I can't imagine that there are still people in the mainland who know my name! That's right, I'm Wan An! Listening to your accent, I should have lived in the United States!"

The old man nodded.

"That's right, I lived in the United States!"

Moran did not say that he was a member of Hongmen, in fact, Wan An also received help from Hongmen when he first came to the United States, and later his career gradually grew and he broke away from Hongmen, after all, in the eyes of Americans, Hongmen is a Chinese "gangster", the United States is like this, and the bosses of large enterprises will never have anything to do with the "underworld".

"What? You're always Wan'an?"

Huo Tianting and Sun Mingren shouted at the same time.

"Oh, you two Aberdeen have heard of you and me, too?"

Obviously, Wan An felt very useful that he was so famous.

My father's name is Huo Yingnan, and he also has his own industry on Hong Kong Island, so he always mentions your old name, saying that you are the pride of the Chinese and have earned a huge face for us Chinese. ”

"Huo Yingnan? Oh, I've heard of this name, and the Huo family, the Li family, and the Bao family on Hong Kong Island are also famous! It turns out that you are the son of Lao Huo, fortunately, fortunately, come, this is my second son Wanhe......... You are all the younger generation of our Chinese people, and when we old guys retire in the future, that will be your world, come on, you have to be closer and closer!"

It can be seen that Wan An is indeed a patriotic Chinese, and he has indeed earned face for the Chinese.

"I'm so happy to see so many young people today, especially this Liu Lang kid, it's amazing to be able to invent such a novel Transformers at such a young age, your future is really limitless!"

Wan An touched Liu Lang's head and said with a smile.

"Grandpa Wan, you just said that you are a company that manufactures computers, I want to know, what is a computer, can you let me see it?"

Liu Lang is now thinking about how to make VIE's company survive in the future computer industry.

"Hehe, of course it's no problem! It just so happens that one of our branches in Los Angeles is not far from next door, so I'll take you to see it!"

Wan'an invited, of course, everyone was honored, and followed each other out of the convention and exhibition center.

Wan'an's company is across the road, and a small three-story building is facing the road, which is also Wan'an's private property, and this piece of land alone is worth a lot of money.

Wan An is the sponsor of the Chinese intellectual delegation, this matter is not known to ordinary people, only the state leaders and Lu Mingzhi know, of course, Lu Mingzhi did not tell others, Wan An does not want to say, he did this completely out of patriotism, and there is no interest mixed in it, because in his opinion, the country is still very poor, even if he wants to sell his computer to the country, the other party may not be able to use it, and few people will use it.

And he came to Los Angeles from the Silicon Valley headquarters to watch the Olympics this time, just in time for the corporate expo conference, so he walked casually, and found Liu Lang's Transformers, which can be regarded as a coincidence.

The first floor of this small three-story building is a business hall, which houses commercial computers designed and manufactured by VIE.
