Since the boss Li Xuan attaches so much importance to Apple, Kuang Jinliang naturally does not dare to take it lightly. In fact, in his heart, he had raised Apple's threat to Cheng Dù to the highest level.

Although Li Xuan does not seem to be very involved in the day-to-day management of the Oriental Group, his prestige within the company is unparalleled. Especially executives like Kuang Jinliang, who has grown up with Dongfang Electronics Company, have an unconditional admiration for him.

Kwong Jinliang's family is relatively wealthy, so after graduating from the preparatory department, he was sent by his father to study in Australia. He attended the University of Queensland, one of the eight most prestigious universities in Australia. After graduating from university, he lived in Australia for four years, and immediately returned to Hong Kong to work after successfully becoming an Australian citizen.

Kwong was just an ordinary electronics engineer in Australia, but he enjoyed playing with computers in his spare time. After Apple's Apple computers went on the market, he was not very satisfied with the performance of the Apple machine and made a series of modifications himself.

When he returned to Hong Kong in 1980 to look for a job, it happened to be the time when Dongfang Electronics was most eager to find talent. It was Li Xuan himself who interviewed Kuang Jinliang, and the two chatted very happily on the topic of personal computers. Kuang Jinliang was also admitted to Dongfang Electronics and was appointed by Li Xuan as one of the leaders of Dongfang Electronics' newly established personal computer research and development team.

Later, Dongfang Electronics acquired the British company Aikang, and the personal computer R&D team was also integrated into the company. As a result, Kwong became the head of iKang's Hong Kong research center, and later quickly rose to the position of the company's chief technology officer (CTO). ABC-1, the company's first personal computer product, contains a lot of his hard work.

Before the company prepares to go public. Albert Hawker was invited to become the company's CEO. And the original CEO, Chris Currie, wanted to change to the position of CTO. So Kwong Jinliang relinquished the position of chief technology officer. Appointed as Senior Vice President of Aikang Corporation.

However, after Kwong Jinliang became vice president, he was still in charge of the company's R&D business. He firmly controlled the scientific research department of Aikang Company for Li Xuan. As a result, a series of products such as ABC series computers and C-8203 workstations can be meticulously developed in accordance with Li Xuan's ideas!

Later, part of the management of Aikang, with the support of some minority shareholders, showed signs of drifting away from the Eastern Group. The company's CEO, Baron Albert Hawke, decided to move closer to Li Xuan and cleaned up a group of managers represented by Chris Currie, one of the founders and chief technology officer (CTO) of Aikang.

As a result, Kwong Jinliang re-took over as the chief technology officer of Aikang. He also replaced Curry as a director on the board of directors of Aikang. And Albert Hawke has used the past two years to finally gain Li Xuan's trust.

Not long ago, Han Peng resigned as chairman of the board of directors of Aikang and focused on coordinating the work of the entire Eastern Group. Albert Hawker took over as the new chairman of the board of directors of iKang, and Kwong Jinliang, who has just turned 32, went one step further and became the third CEO of iKang.

At the age of 32, he became the CEO of a star company with a total market value of more than $5 billion, and Kwong Jinliang became a world-renowned business hero in one fell swoop. Of course, although the outside world has some objections to this choice of Aikang, there is also the world's richest man in the Eastern Bloc who is not even 25 years old. The pressure on Kuang Jinliang's back is much less.

Kwong was well aware of his weaknesses and strengths, and he lacked experience in managing a multinational company. The reason why Li Xuan chose him to take charge of Aikang Company was to hope that he could continue to plan the development direction of the company according to his own ideas.

At the same time, Kwong Jinliang was born in Hong Kong. It is also conducive to the further integration of Aikang into the entire Oriental system. After all, the roots of the Oriental Group have always been in Asia, and if Aikang wants to continue to maintain strong competitiveness, it cannot do without the support of the entire Eastern Group!

As for the lack of management experience, Kwong Jinliang is not a problem at all. There's also Albert Hawke above him who will be the gatekeeper. Kwong Jinliang knows that his main task now is to strengthen the integration of iKang with other companies in the Oriental system. There is also to be a good mouthpiece for Li Sheng, and formulate a plan for the future of Aikang according to Li Sheng's ideas.

As for the specific management of the company. Kwong Jinliang can completely let go of the chairman Albert Hawke. Because he is still young, there is no need to wait to fight for power.

As long as Li Sheng is behind him, Kuang Jinliang doesn't need to worry about being overlooked. And after five or even ten years, his experience is rich enough, and it is natural for him to take full control of Aikang.

You must know that Kuang Jinliang's current achievements are far ahead of other peers. He returned to Hong Kong with another classmate who was studying at Kunming University. His classmate was hired at another electronics factory and had just been promoted to the position of technical director of the company.

The classmate cautiously called and wanted to have dinner with Kwong Jinliang, because he was the owner of an electronics factory and hoped to join the supply and marketing system of the Oriental Group. In the past, when he was in Australia, this classmate's income was actually higher than that of Kwong Jinliang.

After Kwong Jinliang now becomes the CEO of Aikang, the total annual salary and stock option rewards this year are likely to reach 8 million US dollars, which is converted into more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars. And the electronics factory where his classmate works has total assets of less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Because he chose to join Dongfang Electronics Company, Kuang Jinliang also created a miracle of his personal wealth! It was the legendary experience that happened to him that made Kuang Jinliang, like many other managers in the Oriental Group, a little blind to Li Xuan's new appointment!

"By the way, Olsen is menacing this time, and the competition in the enterprise computer market will become more and more fierce in the future, so Aikang must be mentally prepared in advance!" Li Xuan said.

Olson, whom he just mentioned, is the founder and CEO of DEC. The company he founded, DEC, relied on the PDP series of computers to compete with the blue giant IBM in the field of minicomputers. But DEC has grown to become the second largest computer company in the United States. But I fell a lot on my PC.

Olson once insisted that "personal machines are commercially too bad". Because of his misjudgment, DEC missed the perfect opportunity to enter the PC space. Let Apple rise rapidly in the late seventies.

It wasn't until Akon's ABC series of computers took the world by storm that Olsen woke up. But in his rush to catch up, he made another fatal mistake. DEC has launched three different PCs in one go, which it believes can cover the entire low-end, mid-range and high-end market.

But the three babies that Olsen had high hopes for not only failed to show enough competitiveness in terms of price, but also lackluster in terms of supporting software. Because the arrogant DEC company did not choose the East-DOS operating system, but chose to develop its own operating system independently. So much so that a large number of popular third-party software on the market can no longer run on DEC's personal computers.

As a result, after the launch of these three new models of DEC, they suffered a heavy failure, and their products were not cared for at all. But Olsen is a proud man. He was not willing to let DEC bow to the Eastern Bloc to produce the ABC series of compatible machines.

"The more fierce the competition, the brighter the market prospects for enterprise-class computers! In fact, not only DEC company, but even IBM company is also developing its own workstation computer! And they are not going to use the S-100 processor of the Oriental Research Institute this time, but are ready to develop a new RISC architecture by themselves!

However, we are not afraid of competition, and the research and development of the new generation of S-200 processors of the Oriental Research Institute is nearing completion. We will soon launch more powerful workstations and servers at the beginning of next year!" Kwong said calmly.

Before the introduction of the LAN system. DEC's minicomputer is actually a LAN system. However, this kind of local area network composed of small computers is actually a computer, which is provided to multiple users at the same time. The more users are connected, the greater the computing pressure on the computer. The more advanced the performance you need.

For example, DEC's VAX-11 computer can access up to about 40 users, and the VAX-11 itself sells for as much as $200,000. In addition, it is necessary to build a special constant temperature machine room, and then purchase 40 end customers. As well as the cost of laying wires, the total investment of building a network of 40 users is about 500,000 US dollars.

And Aikang said to provide a LAN system. In fact, all computers are connected on a network cable, and then a special network transmission protocol is used to exchange information with each other. All you need is a server that is a little more powerful than a regular computer. to take on the bridge of the number jù exchange, as well as to store some of the number jù ready to be shared.

Using this model to build a 40-computer LAN, even if you buy the most advanced and expensive ABC-5 computer from Aikang, the total investment is about $300,000. Moreover, this solution can save the high maintenance cost of the constant temperature room.

It is precisely because of this disparity in cost performance that the sales of DEC's small computers have declined year after year, and Olsen has to join the competition of local area networks. In fact, compared with other companies, DEC still has some advantages. For example, the first version of the Ethernet technology standard was developed by DEC, Xerox and Intel.

If DEC focuses on server development, then let Apple focus on PC development. Both use Intel's processors, plus they are still the leader in Ethernet technology, if they can be united, they really have the strength to fight with Aikang in the field of LAN!

Li Xuan analyzed his own ideas to Kuang Jinliang, and then continued: "Now that the three companies DEC, Intel and Apple are united, their strength in hardware is no longer inferior to ours! Even if we can take the lead in launching the S-200 processor, with the background of Intel and DEC, as long as they find the right direction, it is not difficult to catch up!"

Therefore, we must fully tap our own strengths and attack the enemy's weaknesses with our own strengths! Even if we cannot maintain an advantage in hardware, we can still defeat our opponents in software! Both Apple and DEC have a fatal shortcoming, that is, their systems are closed.

They are still in the old mentality of greed for perfection, and want to do all the work on their own, so that our East-DOS system easily agrees with the entire operating system market! No matter how advanced the performance of the computer is, its ultimate purpose is to solve all kinds of practical problems of users.

The total number of application software on the East-DOS system has exceeded 5,000 kinds, including office software, learning software, computer games, and so on! Therefore, we must fully tap this advantage when carrying out marketing and promotion!

Accompanied by Kwong Jinliang, Li Xuan took a spin around the Olympic news gathering and editing center near the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). UCLA's dormitories were borrowed by the Los Angeles Organising Committee as part of the Olympic Village for athletes, coaches and officials from all over the world.

Oriental Company has set up a news gathering center near the UCLA campus to facilitate reporters to conduct interviews. In fact, the Olympic Organizing Committee also borrowed the dormitory of the University of Southern California (USC) as an Olympic Village.

But USC is one of the worst policing universities in the country, surrounded by chaotic black ghettos. UCLA is located in the Westwood district of Los Angeles, surrounded by the famous wealthy areas of Los Angeles, and has good security.

Although the Olympics will not officially open until tomorrow, the news gathering and editing center is already full of people and bustling. Han Lixin and Tu Jun walked into this very beautifully decorated news gathering and editing center with a curious face.

"Look dumbfounded, aren't you? You two take out your documents, and I'll take you to the service desk to get an access card first! You can't enter without an access card!" another colleague who received them smiled lightly.

In fact, when he first came here a few days ago, he was just as curious as they were. But now he is no longer surprised, and he can pretend to be disapproving of his superiority in front of these two later colleagues.

Han Lixin was the CCTV commentator who stopped Liu Wei at Los Angeles International Airport before. Next to him, Tu Jun is a photojournalist from the Xinhua News Agency, both of whom were among the last to arrive in Los Angeles to cover the Olympics.

This is the first time that the People's Republic of China has participated in the Olympic Games since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is also the first time that Chinese media have covered the The Xinhua News Agency sent five reporters, and China Central Television sent a 15-member reporting team composed of reporters, cameramen, and commentators.

This is already a large-scale overseas reporting operation for CCTV. But that's nothing compared to NBC, the main broadcaster of the Olympics. The entire NBC broadcaster has more than 1,500 staff members involved in the broadcast of the Los Angeles Olympics.

The current CCTV is far from being as tyrant as it was a few decades later, and the foreign exchange expenditure of a team of 15 people in the United States is already a huge expense for the leaders of the TV station, and they really dare not send more personnel to the United States!
