"Mr. Liu, I'm Liu Chang, Ah Wei's iron buddy! How did you talk with the people at the Oriental Research Institute in the afternoon?" Liu Chang shook hands with Liu Chuanzhi, sat down and ordered himself a cup of Mocha, and then asked.

"The Oriental Research Institute said that the ERM-2 processor is still in a situation where exports to China are restricted, so they show that they will not accept the technical licensing applications of domestic manufacturers for ABC-5 computers! However, if the ERM-2 problem is solved in the future, they will give priority to Lianxiang Company!" Liu Chuanzhi shook his head with a wry smile.

"I guessed that this is the result, those people are the most cautious, and they will definitely leave half of what they say! Presumably you have not received a satisfactory answer from the Eastern Commercial Matter, right?"

Liu Chang saw that the other party nodded, showing an expression that was really like this, and then continued to explain: "In fact, it is not difficult for Oriental Commercial to open up the joints of the US government, after all, the joint venture company invested by the Oriental Research Institute in China, Shuguang Computer Company, has already had a precedent of importing ERM-2 processors in small batches!"

With the advent of ERM-3, the importance of ERM-2 has greatly declined! It's just that the timing is not right, just in time for the US election! And the Republican candidate Bush Sr.'s support rate is leading all the way, and if the Reagan administration agrees to export ERM-2 processors to China at this time, it is likely to be targeted by the Democratic Party!

Although China and the United States are common enemies of the Soviet Union, the two countries are in the most friendly honeymoon period since the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, in fact, there has always been a view in the United States called 'contact prevention', that China is still the most important potential enemy of the United States in the future!

In addition, the Taiwan-Gulf side has been tirelessly attacking the Jinyuan Offensive for many years. The market for '**********' in the United States is really not small. Although the China issue is not mainstream, it is always debated by the candidates of the two parties in every general election.

Therefore, the Reagan administration would never want to wait until the dust settles on the US presidential election in November. The problem that bothered Mr. Liu will be solved!

You must know that Lee Sheng of the Eastern Bloc not only has a good relationship with the current President of the Republican Party, Ronald Reagan, but also has a very close relationship with the current vice president and presidential candidate of the Republican Party, Mr. Bush Sr."

Liu Chuanzhi listened to Liu Chang's words, and then suddenly realized. For China in the 80s, except for those who specialized in diplomacy, it was actually difficult for anyone to have a broad international vision!

Even Liu Chuanzhi, a big player in the global PC industry in the future, is no exception, and the current Lianxiang company. It's not the strong company that can still take IBM's PC division under strong pressure in the United States.

Lianxiang company's current influence has just radiated out of Beijing. Began to expand to the entire North China market. They are still a long way from covering the national market, let alone looking at the world!

But a person's vision often determines his future achievements! Liu Chuanzhi listened to Liu Chang, who was sitting opposite, and immediately felt that he was also deeply shocked. He had never thought about the U.S. election on the other side of the Pacific before. I can have something to do with myself!

But in fact. Lianxiang Company's original plan was forced to make adjustments precisely because of this seemingly unrelated matter! This experience may not be a valuable asset for Liu Chuanzhi and Lianxiang Company!

Of course, Liu Chang did not come to explain the US presidential election to the other party today, but he came to discuss business! When he received a phone call from his friend Liu Wei yesterday, he was about to leave for the Yuezhou Railway Station to take a train back to Shenhai City.

Because his wife Han Ying was also not at home on a business trip, Liu Chang returned to Shenhai City. Liu Wei mentioned the guests he knew during the day, and he immediately seized the business opportunity from it.

"Mr. Liu. I heard Liu Wei say that your Lianxiang company produces personal computers, so I took the liberty of coming to talk to you about a business! I wonder which company's products are used in the memory modules used in the computers produced by your company? From domestic manufacturers, or imported from abroad?" Liu Chang asked with a smile.

At present, the output of the ABC series compatible machine, which is nominally independently produced in China, is not small. But if you peel off the outer skin, you will find that inside the computer, there are very few parts that can really be localized.

Processors, memory, graphics cards, the core of these key components are semiconductor chips, and the domestic chip manufacturing capacity is relatively low. Previously, Shenhai Microelectronics introduced American technology and built the first modern wafer factory in China. However, the process technology of this wafer factory is already a backward technology that has been eliminated.

After the deep-sea microelectronics is put into operation, it mainly produces 6502 processors and some low-capacity processors, which can barely solve the problem of partial localization of ABC-1 and ABC-2. However, the performance of these two computers, which were launched by the Eastern Group in 1981, could no longer keep up with the development needs of the times.

Therefore, Shenhai Microelectronics Company is eager to upgrade its own technology, so it submitted a request to the Eastern Group, hoping to introduce a new production line with 5-inch wafers and 3-micron process.

At this stage, including Lianxiang Company, the vast majority of computer manufacturing companies in China actually only play the role of an assembly plant. Everyone imports various parts from abroad, assembles them into computers, and sells them under their own brands.

And like Lianxiang, which has successfully developed its own graphics card, it is already a leader among them. It is precisely this reliance that allows Lianxiang to reduce the cost of computer production by several hundred yuan compared with other companies. And Liu Chuanzhi dared to jump out of the Beijing market and expand to the whole of North China.

Otherwise, if the production cost of Lian Xiang is similar to that of other competitors, how can he have the confidence to go to other people's doorsteps to grab land. You must know that in China in the 80s, the traces of the planned economy were still very strong, and almost every province was carved out of a mold.

There is a computer industry corporation under the Instrument and Telecommunications Industry Bureau in Huhai City, and other domestic identities such as Beijing and Tianjin. These provincial computer companies, as well as other electronic state-owned enterprises, are the main force of domestic ABC compatible machines. These companies were generally still half-dead in the 80s, and if they want to expand the market, they naturally need to take food from these snakes!

Mr. Liu must also know very well that the level of the domestic computer industry at this stage is relatively backward as a whole, and most of the parts and components still need to be imported from abroad! However, the state has become more and more strict in controlling foreign exchange in recent years, which has greatly increased our exchange costs!" Liu Chuanzhi shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"I have two friends who used to be senior researchers at the Institute of Oriental Studies! However, they are quite ambitious and unwilling to be technicians for the rest of their lives, so they decided to resign and start their own businesses! They invited me to participate in the investment because they did not have enough funds to start a company. I thought their project was promising, so I invested a lot of money!

The project I invested in is an essential memory module for personal computers, and our new company spent nearly a year developing and improving it, and finally officially launched its first full-fledged product in March of this year!

I don't know if Mr. Liu has ever heard of the "Feiyue" brand of memory modules, this is exactly our company's products! We now mainly produce low-end models of memory modules, and have successfully won a large number of orders from Taiwan Hongji Company!

According to the analysis data of Hong Kong's "Hong Kong Economic Journal", Acer sold 5.2% of the global PC market last year, and successfully jumped to one of the top ten computer manufacturers in the world!

Therefore, Mr. Liu can rest assured about the quality of our company's products, after all, a large company like Acer has very high requirements for suppliers. If we are not skilled, we will never be able to enter the eyes of the other party!

And we focus on the research and development of low-end memory modules, which must also meet the needs of Lianxiang Company! And I have another good news to tell you, that is, our factory is built a few kilometers away in the Shenhai Nanhu National Electronics Development Zone. In other words, if Lianxiang Company chooses us as your memory supplier, you don't need to go through the import channel anymore, and you can just use RMB to procure!" Liu Chang said eloquently.

The real situation is naturally a little different from what Liu Chang said. After he was transferred from Oriental Commercial to Oriental Venture Capital, he became an angel investor in addition to handling the company's related tasks! And this memory module development project is a key investment project that he has carefully selected from dozens of projects.

The other two partners who founded the company with him are indeed scientific research institutes of the Oriental Institute. One of them is responsible for memory development and design, and the other is in charge of the memory technology development team. Both of them have participated in the public relations of the memory project of the Oriental Research Institute and have rich experience in research and development.

This is also the most important reason why Liu Chang is willing to bet. Although the other two have high strength in scientific research, they are not strong when it comes to specific operations. So the three of them hit it off, and Liu Chang undertook 80% of the initial capital and accounted for 30% of the company's shares.

Although Feiyue Technology has introduced two more rounds of venture capital, Liu Chang's stake has now been diluted to only 12.5%, but this part of his stake has increased by more than 10 times in just one year.

Therefore, Liu Chang has submitted his resignation to Oriental Venture Capital not long ago, and is ready to devote himself to the operation of the new company. He went to Guangdong on a business trip yesterday to lobby a local ABC compatible machine manufacturer, hoping that the other party could use his newly listed memory module.

So when he learned from his friend Liu Wei that Liu Chuanzhi was the general manager of Beijinglianxiang Computer Company, he immediately called to make an appointment to meet and prepare to win a new customer for the company! )
