Dell was founded in 1984, and it took Michael Dell less than four years to make his company go public and become a young billionaire with assets of tens of millions.

In the same year that Dell was founded, a technology company called Lianxiang was also established in China on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. In another time and space, the two companies are inseparable after twenty years.

When Dell became the dominant player in the PC market, Lianxiang had just acquired IBM's PC division. At that time, Dell's salesman even directly told customers that the purchase of the ThinkPad was to fund the Chinese government, which caused a strong protest from Lianxiang and the Chinese government. Later, Dell gradually began to decline, while Lianxiang became more and more courageous and became the new king of the global PC industry.

Lian Xiang didn't make computers directly at first, and its first famous product was Lian Xiang Hanka, which was similar to Li Xuan's first pot of gold. Without Li Xuan, China's early personal computers would have been almost entirely imported.

The domestic market is too small, and foreign companies have no incentive to localize their own software. You must know that Microsoft's Windows operating system first launched a Chinese Simplified Chinese version in the previous life, which was already in the mid-nineties.

So in another time and space, until the early nineties, domestic computers needed to install an additional Hanka to use. In fact, not only Lianxiang Company, Shi Yuzhu's Giant Company also started as a Hanka.

However, due to the emergence of Li Xuan, Dongfang Software Company was listed as early as ABC-1. The Chinese version of the East-DOS operating system and East-Office office software were simultaneously launched. Later, the Oriental Research Institute cooperated with Huhai Computer Industry Company to establish a joint venture to produce ABC series computers in China. So the Oriental Software Company at that time. By the way, some columns of traditional Chinese version of the software have been upgraded to simplified versions.

In this way, Hanka was stillborn before he had time to appear on the stage of history. Li Xuan regretted it for a while, and even thought that the company was likely to dissipate in the smoke of history because of this. He even thought about it with a big brain, and simply dug Liu Chuanzhi directly to the joint venture company in Huhai.

It's just that this is just thinking about it, Liu Chuanzhi was just an ordinary researcher at the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences before he went to the sea to start a business. Even if he is transferred to a joint venture company in Shanghai. It is also impossible to get into management at his level. What's more, the Oriental Research Institute is mainly responsible for providing technical support and is not prepared to be deeply involved in the management of joint ventures.

So Li Xuan didn't mess around at the beginning, but then quickly forgot about it. Dell was stubbornly unaffected by his butterfly. Liu Chuanzhi didn't either. When he was still in 84 years, he took 10 people from the computer institute to go to the sea and found Lianxiang Company.

It's just that Lian Xiang Company naturally can't make a fortune by developing Hanka this time, but it is the so-called endless road. Thanks to Li Xuan's vigorous promotion of ABC technical standards around the world. Even thinking about the company is easy to match. All parts and components of the ABC-1 and ABC-2 computers, which are not strictly restricted, are imported.

As a result, Lianxiang Company in this life, relying on the signboard of the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, began to pull orders from major ministries and commissions and municipal agencies in Beijing, and then assembled computers to sell them by itself, but entered the computer industry ten years earlier than in another time and space.

"I said man, the price of ERM-2 is really not going to go down anytime soon. If you want to change the CPU, you can get it now, even if you wait another month or two, it will still be the same price! I suggest you simply pick a second-hand CPU!

These are all ERM-2s that Hong Kong people have replaced after upgrading their computers, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality! I, Liu Hao, set up a shop on Nantou Street to do business. It's not a day or two anymore! As the saying goes, a monk can't run the temple if he can run. My store is open here, if there is a problem with the CPU within half a year, I will unconditionally give you another one!"

As soon as Liu Chuanzhi entered the door, he heard the boss with shaved short hair talking about convincing a customer in a student uniform. The boss's name is Liu Hao, and when he saw Liu Chuanzhi entering the door, he immediately put aside the hesitant customers and greeted Liu Chuanzhi with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, you are a rare guest! Why did you come here in person this time, in fact, you only need to give me a call, I will give you priority delivery with quality and quantity, we have been dealing with each other for so long, I have long regarded you as an old friend!" Liu Hao diligently poured a glass of water for Liu Chuanzhi and said.

"Aikang Company has launched a new computer, and the domestic computer market will definitely usher in a new round of reshuffle! I can't find the pulse in Beijing, so I have to go to the deep sea to find out the bottom on the spot!" Liu Chuanzhi explained.

The ABC-6 had just been launched, and the price of all the original imported ABC-5 products on the market in the SAR had been reduced by 10 percent. Immediately after that, the wholesale price of all models of ERM-2 series CPUs in Hong Kong has also been generally reduced by 10% to 15%!"

Liu Hao nodded to Liu Chuanzhi, and suddenly turned his head to the customer just now and said, "Dude, this is the real reason for the price reduction of ERM-2! The manufacturer has just finished adjusting the price, and it will definitely not be reduced in the short term, so I really didn't lie to you!"

"I heard that there is going to be an IT Cyberport at the main gate of SUSTech?" Liu Chuanzhi suddenly asked.

When SUSTech was founded, the Shenhai Municipal Government carved over a large amount of land. In fact, the current campus of SUSTech only uses a small piece of land, and most of the other places will be used for commercial development as part of SUSTech's funding resources!

This IT Cyberport is jointly developed by SUSTech and Kunpeng Real Estate, and it is planned to open for business before the end of the year, and it will start attracting foreign investment next Monday. The mall has five floors, the ground floor is a branded computer store, the second and third floors are the assembly computer area, and the fourth and fifth floors are all kinds of computer accessories!

As soon as the IT Cyberport opens, the business on this side of Nantou Street will definitely be greatly affected. So I'm also thinking about whether to go over there and invest in a bunk!" Liu Hao said with a sigh.

Don't look at the man in front of him, his appearance is not good, but Liu Chuanzhi knows that the other party's net worth is very rich. Just thinking about the company's monthly orders for Liu Hao can make him a profit of tens of thousands of yuan.

Since its inception in 1984. Lianxiang Company has gone through the assembly stage and began to set up a regular factory to produce its own brand of ABC series compatible machines. Lianxiang's main products are ABC-2 and ABC-3.

ABC-2 is mainly supplied to primary and secondary schools across the country. As the country actively promotes the development of computers, many qualified key middle schools have begun to build computer rooms. And Lianxiang Company has the name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it is still very capable of bluffing a group of people.

As for the ABC-3 compatible machine, it is mainly supplied to government agencies, enterprises and institutions. In recent years, these units have also begun to see a boom in computerized office. Although it is unlikely that each person will have a computer under China's current economic conditions, most units will buy at least one or two computers to decorate their façade.

In fact, in addition to the production of compatible machines for ABC-2 and ABC-3. Lianxiang is also secretly producing ABC-5 compatible machines in small batches. The CPU used in the ABC-5 is a 32-bit ERM-2 series processor.

This is a product on the list of restricted exports to China by the Batumi Committee, so if China wants to import ABC-5 or ERM-2 processors, it needs to go through a very cumbersome declaration procedure. In China, the Oriental Research Institute also participated in the joint venture Huhai Shuguang Computer Company. Able to import ERM-2 processors in small batches.

Oriental Research Institute was originally a joint venture with Huhai Computer Industry Company. Finally, it was named Sugon Computer Company. This name was chosen by Li Xuan himself, and he remembered that there was a very famous series of supercomputers called Shuguang in China in later generations.

Compared with the Dawning Computer Company, which has the backing of the Oriental Research Institute, the Computer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the top of Lian Xiang's head naturally cannot handle the Batumi Committee. And Liu Chuanzhi really wanted to produce ABC-5 compatible machines.

Because the current domestic computer industry can be described as a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming. In addition to enterprises with strength and background such as Huhai Shuguang Company, there are more than 50 companies of all sizes that are producing computers in the country.

Most of these companies are not strong, and basically obtain parts of ABC-1 and ABC-2 compatible aircraft through the import channels of the deep-sea special zone. After the assembly is completed, it will be sold on an OEM basis. With the reduction of the difficulty of importing ERM-1 processors, there are more domestic companies that have begun to produce ABC-3 compatible machines.

This also directly led to a big plunge in the price of the ABC-3 compatible machine. Lianxiang Company can only increase its promotional efforts and maintain profits by running the quantity. The price of ABC-5 remained high due to production constraints. So Liu Chuanzhi simply imported the ERM-2 processor through a special way, and then secretly produced the ABC-5 computer himself.

Lian Xiang's source of all the company's ERM-2 processors is officially through the inconspicuous man in front of him. According to Liu Chuanzhi's own guess, Liu Hao can make a profit of at least 100 yuan for every ERM-2 processor he muggles.

And Lianxiang Company has to buy at least 100 ERM-2 processors of various models from each other every month. In other words, Liu Haoguang made more than 10,000 yuan per month from Lianxiang Company.

Of course, Lianxiang actually earns more, and for every ABC-5 sold, Lianxiang can earn at least 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the profit of six or seven ABC-3s. On the one hand, ABC-5's technical standards are not completely free, and on the other hand, Liu Hao's processor supply channels are not safe.

If Liu Chuanzhi was only ready to send a sum and leave, then he didn't need to worry about these problems at all. But he and his company are ambitious. Therefore, obtaining legal technology authorization and parts supply channels has become a hurdle that Lian wants to cross for the next step of development.

This time, the news of the price reduction of the ABC-5 computer was accompanied by another news. It is rumored that the Eastern Bloc is working hard to get the U.S. government to ease restrictions on the export of ERM-2 processors to China in the near future.

If this news is true, Liu Chuanzhi very much hopes that Lianxiang Company can directly establish a supply channel with the Oriental Group. And this is the most important reason why he personally went south from Beijing to the deep-sea special zone! )
