Chapter 279: Root Server

Li Zetian nodded, and said calmly: "IBM is indeed a fart, it can no longer point fingers at us! From now on, whether we are authorized to say it or not! AMD is going to get involved in the field of CPU manufacturing, so let it realize that the second in 10,000 years is the second in 10,000 years, and it will never want to surpass Intel!"

As soon as the words fell, the applause was like thunder.

"Great, to hell with IBM!"

"AMD also wants to compete with our Intel company, it's just beyond our means!"

“……”

Everyone couldn't help but cheer, and the days of oppression by IBM were finally over.

Li Zetian couldn't help but smile a little, to be honest, he didn't want to be controlled by others, and now, although IBM is also a giant in the personal computer market, it is nothing more than that.

Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He.

IBM's announcement of the compatible machine standard led to the rapid rise of IBM-PC, but it also laid the root cause, and countless computer manufacturers rose up and ousted IBM from power.

In terms of market share, IBM-based models have become the mainstream of the market, accounting for more than 79.5% of the PC market, but IBM's own PC market share continues to decline. Mango and more personal computer manufacturers have risen, seizing most of the IBM market, especially Mango Computer Company, through the low-price direct sales strategy, so that the market share has increased hugely, only one year after its establishment, it occupied 18.5% of the market, which is very amazing!

On the other hand, IBM's large internal system and long feedback process make it unable to provide products that meet the needs of consumers. There are so many options for consumers that any computer that is more beautiful and inexpensive than IBM will appeal to mainstream consumers more than IBM.

Now that IBM's monopoly in the PC field is gone, Intel naturally doesn't need to look at its face anymore.

The current PC market is entirely up to Intel and Microsoft!

Andy Grove, CEO of Intel Corporation, laughs: "As far as I know, the Intel 80386 is far ahead of other companies. I believe that the Intel 80386 will soon become the standard in the PC industry with its powerful computing power!"

Li Zetian nodded, very agreeable.

The 16-bit computer was too slow for him from 2016 to stand it. The PC market is bound to be replaced by 32-bit computers, and whichever company is the first to launch a 32-bit PC will be the first to win the hearts and minds of users.

In the previous life, Compaq Computer Company was the first to launch a 32-bit computer, thus becoming the leader in the field of personal computer manufacturing!

At this time, Li Zetian said: "From now on, Intel will reduce the production of 80286 and 8086 chips and make every effort to produce 80386 chips, and I will let Mango Computer Company, Apple Company and Flamingo Company use 80386 chips!"

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, their faces were excited, and they thought, with such a big boss on the stall, why worry that the company can't develop?!!

In fact, Intel has just released the 80386 chip, although many companies have contacted Intel, but they are not moving forward, they don't know whether 32-bit personal computers are popular, after all, 32-bit chips are more expensive, which naturally increases the cost of personal computers.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Li Zetian smiled faintly, took a sip of water, and said: "It's not that I deliberately want to take care of Intel company, but the Intel80386 chip is indeed a very good product, if the product is not done well, I will not let the computer company under my name adopt it." ”

"Of course, we all get it!" said Andy Grove with a laugh.

Li Zetian nodded, then stood up and said, "Okay, this is the end of the meeting." ”

Everyone sent Li Zetian out of the company.

Halfway through, Li Zetian asked the driver to drive to Mango Computer Company.

Fortunately, the company's headquarters are in Los Angeles, and Li Zetian can go to many companies in one day.

However, it can also be seen that Li Zetian is indeed very busy, as the big boss of many enterprises, the burden on his shoulders is very heavy, and it is not so easy to be the richest man in the world. He always remembers the words of Microsoft in his previous life: "Microsoft is only 180 days away from bankruptcy!"

Therefore, Li Zetian is quite conscientious and conscientious, and he is a qualified boss.

After coming to Mango Computer Company, Li Zetian did not compulsorily require Mango Computer Company to use Intel80386 chips, but first said a lot of reasons to persuade the management of Mango Computer Company to convince people. Of course, Li Zetian's vision and prestige made the company's management have no objection to his decision.

Although Mango Computer Company is engaged in low-cost direct sales, it also has its own brand. In addition, low-price direct sales only means removing middlemen and reducing costs, which does not mean that Mango Computer cannot produce mid-range products.

After Li Zetian explained the incident, he asked about Michael Dyer.

"How's Michael Dale doing in Texas?"

"Great job! Dale is young and energetic, and Texas is second only to California!"

Li Zetian is very satisfied, the golden word will always shine, and a talent like Michael Dell will shine wherever he is placed, and he wants to sharpen him for a few more years and then recruit him back to the company's headquarters.

In a blink of an eye, it's dusk, the fire clouds in the sky are beautiful, Li Zetian is also in a very happy mood, 32-bit processors will set off a new chapter in personal computers, a lot of fun computer games or software have been moved, Intel and Microsoft have begun to dominate the development of personal computers for a long time, and their monopoly position is difficult to shake!

……

At the beginning of 1985, the NSFNET network was in full swing and it would not be long before the network was built. At the same time, Li Zetian's Sprint Telecom Company is building a nationwide digital fiber optic network, an extremely ambitious project that Li Zetian intends to build into an Internet backbone with an unprecedented investment of $1 billion. Since last year, the project has been completed by a fifth and is expected to be completed in 1988.

In addition, Sprint is laying a submarine fiber to Hong Kong, which can also be extended to Chinese mainland and Taiwan, so that China can also join the Internet as soon as possible.

"There are only 13 root servers in the world, in the previous life, Japan had root servers, but China did not, and in this life, if you can't get the server to the mainland, at least you have to get Hong Kong!! "Li Zetian muttered.

The root server is very important, and if the United States controls all the root servers that resolve domain names, it also controls all the corresponding domain names and IP addresses, which is obviously a fatal danger for other countries. If the U.S. blocks a country's domain names one day, their IP addresses will not be resolved, and the websites they point to will disappear from the Internet. Therefore, if ".cn" is removed from the domain name system, or even the allocation of IP addresses for use in China is canceled, China will become a spectator of the international backbone.

In the previous life, when the United States and Iraq were at war, Q, as a result, the entire Internet in Iraq was paralyzed, which can be called the bottom of the information war......
