The two of them talked and laughed happily and finalized the general framework of the matter.

Zhang Xingming invested in a computer research institute in Hong Kong, known as Hong Kong Lenovo Electronic Equipment Research Institute, the person in charge is Godfather Liu, enjoying 5+3% equity.

The total investment of this institute has not been decided, the research direction has not been decided, and even the team composition has not been decided, and the matter is over.

Zhang Xingming took out a small thing from his pocket and threw it to Godfather Liu, who took it and looked at it for a long time, then checked it again, looked up and asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Xingming looked at the things in Godfather Liu's hand and said, "USB flash drive, mobile memory, used on the computer." ”

Godfather Liu raised the USB flash drive in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "This little thing is very exquisite, how many things can be stored in it? How to read it? Is this an interface for reading? Now foreign countries have used such an interface?"

You know,China has been using the 3.5 floppy disk invented by small Japan until 04 years,And a 3.5floppy disk can only store 1.44M information,The failure rate is particularly high,A file is not backed up three or four copies that are joking with themselves,But despite this,This small floppy disk still sells well all over the world,Defeated IBM to become a hegemon for a while,Laugh at the world storage market for more than ten years。

Since it was invented in 80 years, it has occupied the IBM market little by little, and finally defeated IBM in 87 years, which is marked by IBM's latest PC replacing its own company's 5.5 with Japan's 3.5, until 2004, when the U disk appeared, 3.5 has been in a monopoly position without rivals.

You must know that before the 90s, IBM was a giant in the computer industry, or the only one, proud of the world, and all other computer companies combined did not account for a quarter of IBM's business.

Apple went public in 1980, and Old Joe became a billionaire, but he could not become IBM's opponent, he could only grab some market in the personal PC business, and Microsoft was even more small, and it was not until 1995 that it stood up straight, and Microsoft's growth history was completely dependent on IBM.

This is the history of the world's computers as we know it.

But what most people don't know is that IBM had rivals, and once forced IBM to abandon its original strategy to avoid the limelight, Microsoft's richest man has said more than once: If he can complete the second turn, then there will be no Microsoft in the world, I may now be a lawyer, or a university professor.

This person who made the lid respectful at IBM in the United States, called Wang An, is a pure Chinese, a person who completely single-handedly changed the history of the world's computers, and he alone discovered and invented core storage technology and promoted the development of the entire computer technology.

It was 1948, Wang An was 27 years old, and he discovered and invented magnetic core storage technology, which solved this problem that had been insurmountable since the beginning of computer technology, and it took him only three weeks.

In 1951, Wang An founded his own company, and in 1961, in 10 years, his laboratory moved out one invention after another, including a paper hole recorder, an automatic typewriter, a radio typewriter and a recording tape identification machine, and so on. These unfamiliar words have changed many industries, such as the replacement of paper scoreboards with electronic scoreboards at sporting events.

In 1964, Wang An launched the "Luosai" desktop computer, which was the world's first desktop computer and the originator of the modern personal computer, changing the history of computers that could only be stupid and coarse and could not be moved.

In 1971, Wang An launched the updated "1200 desktop computer", and in 1976, on the basis of the 1200, Wang An launched the "PS", realizing his dream of defeating IBM.

His dream originated in 1945 when Wang An was just sent from China to the United States to study, to IBM for a job search, because he was a yellow and was insulted by IBM interviewers, he began to study physics in a fit of anger, and got a doctorate in physics from Harvard in three years, starting a legendary life.

In 1986, he became the richest Chinese in the world with a personal net worth of $2 billion, the fifth richest in the United States, and was named one of the 12 most outstanding immigrants in the United States in July, and was received by President Reagan.

In October 1986, Deng Gong received him in the Great Hall of the People.

He was inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame, shared a room with Edison, and he made it to the list of America's richest people entirely on his own, on a par with Rockefeller.

But because of his disbelief in the personal PC business and his hatred for IBM, he chose to fight the entire computer system alone, refusing to be compatible with everything, which led to his ultimate defeat.

And the biggest reason for his failure is because he firmly believes that the tiger father has no dog son, and he tried his best to get his son on the throne, and as a result, the public sentenced him to leave, which is a collision of Chinese thinking and American thinking.

At that time, the world's computer elites were almost in the hands of Wang An, and many famous figures in later generations were just small people in Wang An's company, and the most representative person was John Chambers of Cisco, who was only a regional head in Wang An's computer.

In 1990, Wang An died of illness, and a generation of legends came to an end, and in 1992, Wang An went bankrupt.

……

Zhang Xingming said: "The capacity of this memory is not large, only 4 G, I have a larger one in my hand, and I will give it to you later." ”

Godfather Liu nodded, suddenly stood up with wide eyes, his face instantly swollen red, and his voice increased several times and changed his voice: "Many, how much?"

Zhang Xingming looked up at him and said with a smile: "4 G, G, you heard it right." ”

In 1986, the hard disk of a personal computer was only 30M to 50M, if it could reach G, whether it was 1G or 2G, it was an artifact, almost impossible to buy, and the price was not something that ordinary people could afford. A 286 computer 30M hard disk, the domestic price is generally about 12,000, and to use foreign exchange volumes, 386 to more than 20,000 close to 30,000, hard disk has 50M, a water is all IBM horizontal machine.

Until 1990, there was no need to buy a computer with foreign exchange volumes, but it was not something that ordinary people could afford, so what was it for?

(Here according to the price of Shenyang Sanhao Street and Benxi City at that time, other areas do not understand, there is no information)

Godfather Liu held the USB flash drive tightly in his hand, because the joints of the force were discolored, he took a few deep breaths, quickly calmed down, slowly sat back on the sofa, stared at the USB flash drive in his hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you sure it's 4 Gs? and how big is it? It's okay, you say." ”

Zhang Xingming looked at him and scratched his head, the 4G USB flash drive was almost eliminated in later generations, and he didn't care, but only then did he realize that such a small thing reached 4G storage, what is the concept in this era.

There's no way, my own death is always more exciting, and I said: "16G, 32G, 500G hard disk, 1T physical hard disk, I have it in my hand." "The more you talk, the quieter it gets.
