Chapter 238: Wang An Visits
During this time, Motorola was in the limelight, and there was no difference for a while. www.biquge.info However, the Galaxy Router product launch event was held at the end of July, and even the DynaTAC mobile phone could not drown out its brilliance!!
Galaxy router is related to the future of the Internet, and will also be one of the company's core products.
At 8 p.m. on July 30, 1983, at the Los Angeles Sports Center, almost all the world's leading media and partners of Galaxy Network gathered here.
The scene of the press conference was extremely solemn, atmospheric, and gorgeous.
Tian Shuai was dressed in a black suit and came to the center of the stage.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the product launch of Galaxy Network Company, I am Tian Shuai, CEO of the company.
In this product launch, I will introduce to you the company's latest product - Galaxy Router.
With the development of computers and networks, schools, research institutions, enterprises, etc. have established their own computer networks, but there is a problem that has been confusing us. β
Tian Shuai swept his eyes and said, "That is, there is no communication between different networks!"
"Everyone must know about ARPANET. The ARPANET has been opened to the world, and many universities and commercial sectors have begun to connect to it, but there are very few network nodes that can connect to the ARPA. In addition to the cost reasons, there is also the fact that different networks cannot communicate due to different network communication protocols.
For example, there must be more than one network in a university, and only a few computers in the past can connect to the ARPANET, but with the Galaxy router, all computers in the university can be connected to the ARPANET! The same is true for enterprises and other research institutions......
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
As soon as Tian Shuai finished speaking, the audience suddenly became a sensation, and people couldn't help but talk about it, looking extremely surprised.
"With the Galaxy router, you can build a huge network, and you can also let more networks connect to this network through the router, which undoubtedly greatly promotes the development of the network!"
"If a company can establish a unified network, it will naturally be able to greatly improve the work efficiency of employees!"
"Yes, yes!"
ββ¦β¦β
After the press conference, many enterprises, schools, and scientific research institutions around the world were full of interest in the Galaxy router and placed orders one after another.
The Galaxy router quickly set off a huge hurricane in the industry!
In the previous life, when Cisco first started, it was unknown, and many people didn't even know the existence of routers, and the Galaxy Network Company was already a well-known enterprise in the industry, and earlier there was GalaxyNet1.0 network card that swept the world, almost monopolizing more than 75% of the global market, with high visibility and many partners!!
In fact, the sales of Galaxy routers were simply unexpected, with 18,000 units sold in the first month, and I don't know how many streets it left Cisco. With the rapid development of the Internet, pages began to detonate.
With the release of the Galaxy router, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has realized the importance of the network and accelerated the establishment of the NSFnet backbone network.
According to Li Zetian, if nothing else, the National Science Foundation NSF may officially establish the project at the end of the year and start the NSFnet project next year.
The internet is moving faster than in previous lives.
However, there are many factors that promote the development of the Internet, not only the establishment of the backbone network, but also the promotion of application software such as web pages, WWW World Wide Web, e-mail, online games, BBS, etc. Without these, computer users will certainly not be willing to spend money on the Internet, and the development of the Internet will naturally slow down.
However, Li Zetian also feels that the process of history does not need to be too fast, the hardware cannot keep up, the performance of the web server is weak, the price is high, there is not much commercial value, and there are not many current computer users, so things such as web pages and the WWW World Wide Web are not in a hurry to be developed.
In addition, China's economy has not yet developed, and if Li Zetian makes the United States too developed, he will not be able to get over it in his heart, after all, he is still a son and daughter of China, and that was once his hometown. Li Zetian really can't bear to see the United States arrogantly bullying China!
When Li Zetian first came to the United States to study, many Americans looked down on him because he was of Chinese descent.
If you feel that the years are quiet, someone must be carrying the weight for you!
If China were a very powerful country, would the Americans still look down on him?
Although Li Zetian now has American citizenship, he has always been labeled as "Chinese"!
Only when China is strong will the status of the Chinese in the world be truly improved!
In Li Zetian's impression, in 1998, China was not strong enough, so Indonesia did something to exterminate humanity, but when China became stronger, Indonesia relented a lot.
As China's strength and status increase, so does the status of Chinese people around the world.
On the premise of not violating US law, Li Zetian engaged in development in Chinese mainland in the name of commercial investment, which is justified and natural, and almost all powerful enterprises will enter China and seize this incomparably huge market, and no one can grasp his handle!
β¦β¦
The market is changing, and enterprises are up and down. Once-powerful companies can go bankrupt in an instant.
Although Wang An Computer Company has not gone bankrupt, it is not far off.
On August 29, 1983, Wang An came to visit Li Zetian.
Wang An's hair is gray, he looks very old, and his face has no pride in the past, with the rise of personal computers, Wang An Computer Company has suffered an unprecedented blow!
After the two sat down, Wang An went straight to the point and stated the purpose of the visit: "Mr. Li, Wang An Computer Company is ready to enter the personal computer industry! I hope that you, who are also Chinese, can lend a hand!"
Li Zetian looked pensive and did not answer immediately.
To be honest, Li Zetian still admires Wang An very much, but he just had a holiday with his son Wang Lie. Now I can't help but feel funny when I think about being jealous of others in college at that time.
Before Li Zetian could speak, Wang An continued: "Wang An Computer Company intends to develop a new type of personal computer that is not compatible with IBM-PC and completely defeat IBM. Therefore, I hope that Microsoft and Intel can break away from the IBM-PC system and cooperate with Wang An Computer Company!"
Li Zetian frowned, how much does Wang An hate IBM, so much hope to defeat IBM?! It's just that he departs from the current existing IBM-PC personal computer standards and turns his head to develop a new personal computer standard with Wang An Computer Company, and will not agree to this request unless his head is clipped.
"Dr. Wang An, I can't make this request. The IBM-PC standard monopolizes most of the market, how can you fight him!"
I don't know if Dr. Wang An was too naΓ―ve or too confident, he laughed and said: "Apple is not the IBM-PC standard, isn't it also successful? As long as Microsoft and Intel cooperate with Wang An Computer Company, it is equivalent to cutting off IBM's two arms, and we are at least 60% sure that we will be able to defeat IBM." β
Li Zetian sneered: "Microsoft and Intel have cooperated well with IBM, and they monopolize the operating system and processor markets respectively. May I ask Dr. Wang An, what reason do Microsoft and Intel have to give up the rare market and choose to cooperate with Wang An Computer Company?"
"As far as I know, IBM is exploiting Microsoft and Intel by getting products from Microsoft and Intel at extremely low prices. β
"Dr. Wang An, I'm sorry, your words can't move me at all, please come back. In addition, I would like to advise you that conforming to the general trend is the way for enterprises to survive!"
A trace of anger flashed on Wang An's face, obviously not listening to this.
"Since that's the case, then take your leave!" Wang An stood up and took his leave.
Li Zetian looked at his back and couldn't help shaking his head, Wang An's pride and conceit still haven't changed, Wang An's computer company will repeat the mistakes of his previous life!
