The blue ballpoint pen was spinning in a slender and powerful hand, Zhang Lexing tilted his head, as if bored watching the joyful dance of the ballpoint pen, but in fact, he was looking back on the experience of the past few years.

To be honest, Zhang Lexing didn't expect it to develop to such a point at first, at first he just wanted to settle down in China, but he didn't expect to meet Dr. Yu by chance, from Hong Kong to the United States, and then catch up with the great development of the American IT industry in the early 80s, and the VisualSystem company he founded was even more lucky. According to the statistics of the accounting firm hired by Zhang Lexing at the beginning of the year, the total number of stocks, equities and other assets held or indirectly held by him has exceeded 3 billion US dollars (including 400 million US dollars in cash on hand of the Red River Fund), but most of this is only wealth on paper, but the long series of figures on the report alone made Zhang Lexing dizzy. Of course, Zhang Lexing didn't do that kind of wine celebration thing, but occasionally he smirked twice after remembering the final figures on the report, which almost made Yang Xinxin drag him to the hospital for examination. It's hard to say anything, Zhang Lexing had no choice but to take out the report, but after reading it, Yang Xinxin actually said that she was deeply stimulated, and she just blackmailed a week's meal before stopping, and poor Zhang Lexing finally couldn't avoid breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster.

As the companies founded or invested in by Zhang Lexing got on the right track, he found that he gradually had more leisure time, and the company's day-to-day operations were handled by the CEO, and Zhang Lexing became an idler with several chairmanships, usually participating in discussions on the development of operating systems, guiding the company's development at a strategic level, and going to its game production companies to see the progress of the work or occasionally making suggestions on game design. People love to ponder when they are free, and Zhang Lexing is no exception, and now he has the idea of returning to China for development.

Zhang Lexing remembers that the next few years will be the beginning of the great development of the domestic IT industry, and many first-generation IT heroes will haunt this period. In Zhang Lexing's last life, Microsoft has maintained a relatively discriminatory price system in China, many powerless users have to invest in the arms of piracy, their Kylin operating system will one day return to China, Zhang Lexing is certainly not willing to learn Microsoft's methods, but if you can set up a research and development institution in China in advance, I believe that the development cost of the operating system can be reduced to a certain extent, so that the operation space can be larger when the Chinese version of the Kylin system is officially launched in the future.

Zhang Lexing is more interested in game design, in his last life, he once dreamed of joining a famous domestic game company, and also dreamed of designing a game that is popular all over the world, but unfortunately it was not realized due to various reasons. Now Zhang Lexing has no pressure to survive, this idea resurfaces in his mind, although a large scale of game development has been formed in the United States, but Zhang Lexing pursues the growth of the overall strength of domestic game development and his own game console dream, which cannot be realized in the United States. Now it is very difficult to return to China to get involved in game development, and there is no need to consider game development on PC for the time being, because there is no room for survival at all, but there is still a lot to be done on Nintendo's red and white machine (FC), and it is not difficult to develop, and you can also support a console game development team through product exports, which is a very important part of Zhang Lexing's future plan. Zhang Lexing remembers that the earliest birthplace of domestic FC game development seems to be in Fuzhou, and he must take time to go after returning to China.

“…… Go back and open a few companies, and then find the right people to manage, and then train a little more software development talents, and then recruit some people to go abroad to train and train, and then I want to work in the game industry The foundation should be more solid...... If you want to open up the situation when you return to China to start a business, the expenses should not be small, can you find someone to share it?" Zhang Lexing was sitting on the back sofa in the office while playing with a ballpoint pen while thinking about his plan, and suddenly the secretary sent a letter in, Zhang Lexing opened it and saw that it was an invitation letter from Compaq.

At the beginning of October, the sales data of PCs last month came back, and Compaq once again attacked the throne of IBM with the rapid development of its 386 computers, and IBM had no goods in its hands and could only rely on some outdated 286 computers to support it. The high-end PC market changed hands in an instant, and the ambitious Compaq company suddenly had a feeling that the world was at its own pace, and the former IBM company became a very ordinary competitor, and it was the kind that fell at the beginning.

To celebrate its good start, Compaq held a small party at the Hilton Hotel in Houston, inviting not only Intel and VisualSystem, but also the top of many compatible device manufacturers on the invitation list.

A few days later, the lobby on the twelfth floor of the Hilton Hotel ......

Zhang Lexing is not alone in Houston, Dr. Yu's connections are much wider than his, so he was also pulled by Zhang Lexing to support the scene. After a little walk in the hall and greeting the chairmen and presidents of several compatible machine manufacturers, Zhang Lexing saw from a distance that Intel's Grove and Compaq's Harris were surrounded by a group of people like stars holding the moon, and they looked like they were chatting happily. Zhang Lexing's eyes lit up, and he felt that these two were the most suitable partners for his plan, so he asked Dr. Yu to invite Grove and Harris to the business private room next to the hall to discuss, while Zhang Lexing himself walked in first and waited.

Dr. Yu still has a lot of face, and after a while, Grove and Harris walked in, and when the three parties sat down, Harris couldn't help but ask first: "Wonder boy from the East, what's the good thing about coming to us?"

Zhang Lexing smiled and said, "Mr. Grove and Mr. Harris, I wonder if you have considered developing the Chinese market?"

"China, where will anyone buy a microcomputer?" haha......" Harris laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke.

"We at Intel set up an office in Beijing last year, but unfortunately after so long, business has not improved. "Grove is clearly not very optimistic about the Chinese market either.

"I know that it seems a bit early to make a proposal to open up the Chinese market. Although China has a large population, it is not possible to have a lot of purchasing power due to its income level, and at present, China has adopted a protective policy for this industry, and computer products exported to China will be subject to high tariffs, and if the products are only sold, there is not much room for development for the time being. However, after the implementation of China's reform and opening up policy, the income of some people has increased relatively quickly, especially in coastal cities, and these people are quite interested in computer products. If we just sit and wait for the tariff to be lowered in the future, it will be a little late, and if other companies start first during this time, affecting the purchasing psychology of Chinese, it may not be a good thing for everyone at that time. There is an old Chinese saying that 'the early bird gets the worm', and we can go to China now to lay the foundation, not necessarily sell the product immediately, but make an impact first, which I believe will be of great help to the future development." Don't ignore China's potential, you must know that there are one billion people in China, and even if only one percent of them buy, it will reach tens of millions of units. "Zhang Lexing skillfully connects potential and profit.

Grove and Harris couldn't help but nod their heads after hearing this, it seems that the legendary toothbrush theory has influenced many people.

"Mr. Grove, I don't know what your company's main business is in China?" Zhang Lexing decided to start with Grove's side first.

"Well, now it's mostly about mainframe business. Our management felt that a place like China should be needed, but unfortunately the results have not been satisfactory. Grove sighed rather regretfully.

"I don't think it's a good time to go to China and promote the mainframe business. As far as I know, two years ago, China has developed a mainframe called 'Galaxy', which should be able to meet some of the needs, and the mainframe is a controlled product, and it is difficult to export if the performance is too good, and it may not necessarily compete with the 'Galaxy' if the performance is not good, so it is not easy to achieve results in promoting the mainframe business in China. Zhang Lexing analyzed: "Rather than this, it is better to do single-chip microcomputers and industrial computers, China's current industrial modernization process has a great need for this aspect, and it should be done better." ”

"Your suggestion is very innovative, and I'll go back and discuss it with the executives. Grove drank the rest of the wine in his glass, "Well, I'm sorry, but I'm going to take the stage to speak, so I'll miss you for a while." ”

After Grove left, Harris sighed and said with some distress: "The Chinese market has great potential and good prospects, and we also know it, but China is currently imposing import tariffs of more than 200 percent on computer products, and no matter how hard we try to reduce costs, it may be difficult for products to be competitive when shipped to China." ”

"I've heard some friends from China say that when it comes to microcomputers in China, IBM and Apple generally come to mind, and many people over there only know that IBM and Apple make microcomputers, and they don't know that there are companies like Compaq that can provide better products than IBM. Zhang Lexing pretended to mention it plainly.

Sure enough, Harris's face immediately changed, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "This damn IBM and Apple, how can they be haunted everywhere." ”

"Actually, I had a very mature idea, but it didn't cost much, and it was able to promote Compaq's products. Zhang Lexing began to sell Harris his plan.

"Oh, tell me about it. Harris looked interested.
