Chapter 328: Transformation
"In the future, my main work will be in philanthropy and education, such as the Wang Ann Graduate School, and I may be an advisor to Boston for a while, but I will not be in the foreground again. ”
Wang Zhengguo couldn't tell whether this was true or false, because this was too different from Wang An's performance in the upper plane, and they were completely different directions.
"Then what do you mean ........"
"I can see that Xeon is a good computer, but the various components it uses are also the top level in the industry, at least more than 30% of the important components will rely on imports, and if these things are purchased from other companies, I am afraid it will not be cheap, so I suggest you cooperate with Boston." ”
It's quite interesting to hear this, and then look back at Chambers who was sitting on the side, now Yaoguang Electronics is basically what he says, and Wang Zhengguo is not very clear about the procurement of parts and components in similar factories.
"Yes, Boston's R&D capabilities for computer parts are still very good, and under the same circumstances, Yaoguang will give priority to procurement. ”
Chambers's answer was crisp!
It is difficult for Wang An Computer (Boston) led by Wang Lie to develop new products that can turn the company around in one fell swoop, but this does not mean that Boston has no basic parts development and production capacity, which is absolutely impossible.
Purchasing parts from Boston Wang An Computer Company is actually a good move, the only problem is that the transportation cost from the east coast of the United States to the interior of the republic is really too high.
"If President Wang Lie intends to supply our computer parts, you can suggest that he return to China to build a factory, the domestic production cost is very low, and the scale of the electronics industry here is not small, Yaoguang, Lenovo, Great Wall, Ziguang, these are relatively powerful machine companies, and the annual purchase of computer parts will not be less. ”
The production of parts and components is not the same as the production of the whole machine, most of these parts are common to various computer models, no matter what computer can be used at that time, Yaoguang system, IBM system, Apple system can be, anyway, only look at the research and development ability, if Wang Lie is really willing to transform in this area, Wang An computer will have a great possibility of successful transformation.
Relying on the strong scientific research strength of Wang An Computer in the United States headquarters and the emerging market of the Republic, this can fully support Wang An Computer Company, and after building a factory in the Republic and successfully controlling the cost, it can even ship the parts produced here back to the United States for sale.
"This suggestion is very good, I will communicate with him in detail when I go back, I believe that I will agree to this plan, after all, there is already the development speed of Yaoguang Electronics here, he should listen to this suggestion." ”
Whether Wang Lie will come to China to invest, there is really no need to worry about this, as long as this guy is not completely stupid, he can understand the importance of this parts supplier.
With Dr. Wang's endorsement, Chambers feels that the project is much more likely to be successful.
"That's good, the main reason is that there are not so many local parts suppliers here, and the production of a computer involves too wide, especially the memory, until now, we can't find a suitable supplier, and I remember that the computer memory in Boston was all developed and produced by itself. ”
Speaking of computer memory, this evokes the deepest thing in Wang Anxin, and the old man looked up at the ceiling slightly, reminiscing......
"Speaking of data storage business, this is my fortune industry, if there is no core memory, there will be no series of events later, now Wang An computer's data storage business although there is no amazing technology to come out, but it has always been to maintain the upper level of the industry, once again to data storage equipment as a breakthrough, the company to the mainland development, is to return to the old business!"
After Lao Wang An said this, Wang Zhengguo suddenly remembered that Dr. Wang An didn't start with data storage devices back then, but he didn't expect that now it is a reincarnation.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Wang An Computer once again put the research and development of storage devices in an important position, Wang Zhengguo felt that this was the best.
"If I can really come back and set up a factory to produce data storage equipment, I can give you a big gift. At present, the most promising new storage medium in the world, I believe that with your fame, you must know something. ”
A long time ago, Wang Zhengguo actually planned to make his own memory equipment, but now that I think about it, this is completely unnecessary, greedy and chewy, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, this is the truth.
"The most promising data storage medium, let me think, is it Toshiba Corporation's fast flash memory concept proposed by Fujio Masaoka in 1984?"
Although Wang An's computer is gradually declining, it has maintained enough news channels for the industry's scientific and technological trends, and naturally knows the concept of flash memory, which has been more popular in recent years.
Wang An absolutely believes that the concept of fast flash memory proposed by Toshiba is the most potential data storage medium in the future, but the concept of that thing has faced many problems since it was proposed, and no one has yet been able to put it into practical use.
"That's right, that's it, according to my institute, the flash memory device that Intel has started to develop has almost reached the stage of market application, which shows that it is entirely possible for this thing to be practical, and I believe that as long as Boston is willing to invest relevant funds in research and development, there will definitely be good products to launch." ”
casually took out a notebook from his briefcase, which recorded a lot of things that Wang Zhengguo usually wrote and sketched by himself, including flash memory.
"According to my predictions, the demand for flash memory as a storage medium in the future electronic equipment market will be very huge, remember the painting on the desktop of Xeon computer before, it was actually taken by a digital camera, and there was no such thing as film, but a data storage device was used to store the image signal. ”
I didn't give the other party a chance to ask in detail what a digital camera was, and then there was a complaint.
"After our digital cameras shoot in the countryside, the data is stored on floppy disks. You know, floppy disks are easy to lose, especially if they are constantly moving or bumping, but with flash memory, which uses solid-state storage granularity, it's much more portable and reliable than floppy disks. ”
As the most widely used mobile storage device before the invention of USB flash disk and memory card, which is made of flash memory media, the shortcomings of floppy disk are too obvious, compared with flash memory devices, even in the current theoretical aspect, flash memory is far better than floppy disk in all aspects.
"I want to say that as long as you can develop flash memory products, mobile storage devices alone will be enough to support a world-class mobile data storage device company in the future. ”
