Chapter 20 Panda is the standard!
If he just saw a computer model with a plastic case, Bart wouldn't be so crazy, not to mention that the model posed in China is not even plastic, but made of wood.
The key is that next to this computer model, there are also exhibited CPU central processing units, memory modules, hard disks, and finished integrated circuit motherboards, although it is impossible to judge their authenticity through the glass, but the blackboard next to it has clearly explained the performance and design ideas of these accessories in English.
Bart himself is an expert in computer design, he just looks at his legs are weak and unstable, the design of these computer parts is very advanced and can be put into production immediately, and the performance of each is ten times that of the same type of products on the market, which makes them how to compete!
It was because he knew how to do it, so he was scared, he knew that he had to buy all these technologies as quickly as possible, and he knew that no matter how high the price was, the company would fully support his decision.
Once other companies get these technologies first, IBM will no longer have the right to speak in terms of desktop computers, and once it loses this huge market that can be foreseen in the future, the desktop computer department will be shut down and face unemployment.
Anyone who is involved in microcomputers knows that the last few years of the late 70s to the early 80s were a critical period for the full commercialization of desktop computers and the entry into thousands of households, and it was during this period that Microsoft and Apple began to become legends.
As the information technology that will most affect the national economy in later generations, Chen Xu must be laid out in advance and seize the right to speak at the forefront of the information age.
That's why he made these electronic product models, and unreservedly announced the design ideas of CPU, hard disk, and other components, and opened the source code to establish industry standards for personal computers, if nothing else, in order to start the brand of Panda Computer and establish the leading position of Panda Computer in the industry.
In the electronic information industry, whoever comes up with the most advanced technology and can quickly popularize it can become the boss and make a lot of money.
"$5 million, I'll buy out all the technical patents for this computer on behalf of our company," Bart said loudly as fast as he could to a Chinese and pointed to the computer model on the stand.
Although Bart didn't know who the computer company was in the China Pavilion, he was confident that he would pay such a high price, and there was no reason why these Chinese should not call the person in charge to negotiate with him. Such a huge sum of money is enough to buy a company, not to mention just buying out technology, the Chinese have no way to refuse this bid!
As soon as Barthes finished speaking, he heard the disdainful laughter of employees of other American computer companies standing nearby, all of whom had come to the China Pavilion after hearing the news.
"Hello! All information technology here will be announced to the public for free, please wait for the company's follow-up press conference for more details," the Chinese in front of him said coldly with an expressionless face.
It wasn't until Bart asked a few more people that he understood why those people were laughing at him, it turned out that all the Chinese hostesses here would only say this sentence over and over again!
These words were all asked by Chen Xu to be said by these members, and these members actually knew English, but Chen Xu was afraid that they would make a lot of mistakes, so he forced them to only respond to this sentence no matter how others asked questions.
Of course, Chen Xu knows how much power he has announced about his personal computer technology, and the reason why he chose to publish these technologies for free is to set industry standards. Use free technology to force the same type of R&D companies around the world to go out of business, and wait until all the companies use the free Panda computer technology, and then he will announce the upgraded version of the hardware, and then all the hardware will cost money, hahaha!
“**…… Are these Chinese all machine qì people! Bart whispered hatefully.
"Hey! Bart, come and see here! You're going to be crazy after reading this. An Apple employee waved at him, and Bart walked over with a frown.
Bart walked over, and then saw a huge English blackboard newspaper three meters long and one meter wide, which read "panda 1.0 Windows operating system".
Bart faintly felt an urge to vomit blood in his throat, and he just glanced at the brief introduction to understand that the small white box next to the computer model turned out to be a mouse, and the Chinese used the mouse in the window system they designed, which is really a milestone design in the history of computer development.
More importantly, part of the source code of the Panda 1.0 Windows operating system, designed using assembly language and C++, has been made public, and the Chinese are ready to provide this Windows system to the world for free and open source.
Next to the blackboard newspaper, there are already crowded people who know how to do various companies, these people have come from Silicon Valley to participate in the Expo, and their eyes are both excited and full of confused looks.
"Chinese not only have to win the right to speak on computer hardware, they also have to swallow the industry standard of software!" Bart was dizzy and dazed, and the Apple employee next to him hurriedly supported him.
Can you not get dizzy? As IBM's head of marketing for Asia, Bart foresaw that the company's PC business would soon be over.
Once the Chinese popularize this Panda operating system, it will greatly promote the commercialization of computers, and also indicate that simple and easy-to-use computers will enter thousands of households.
As the most upstream system developer, the Panda Group will roll in the financial resources, and within a few years it will become the only monopoly giant in the personal computer industry, and no company in the United States can compete with him.
……
Chen Xu was unaware of the commotion in the China Pavilion, and he lay on top of the cardboard box and slept in the dark, not waking up until the afternoon. When I returned to the hall, the first day of the fair was just over an hour before the end of the fair, but the hall was already crowded and lively.
"Old Clock...... Old Clock! You come here, come here" I don't know if it's the reason for the sweet soup and beef jerky, the guests in the Chinese Pavilion are reluctant to leave, and they always crowd inside to delay the people behind to come in to visit, and the staff has to try their best to divert the flow of people. Chen Xu, the supervisor, could only stand outside and shout in order to attract the attention of Zhong Jian inside.
"Director Chen, you're awake! You don't know that when the museum opens, all the guests rush to our side, and many of them are staff from other countries' pavilions. In particular, the people in the U.S. Pavilion came to me again and again, trying to find a personal computer design company to seek cooperation, but I turned them down. Zhong Jian ran over sweating profusely, even if the air conditioner was turned on in the hall, it was still difficult to stop the hot crowd.
"It's done well so that they can see if they can't eat. Are there any problems with the other exhibits other than the computer? Especially the propellers. Chen Xu put his hands behind his back and asked confidently.
"I thought it was going to be a big deal, but it turned out that most people only thought of the electric fans and propellers as decorations in our museum, and it didn't make much of a difference after seeing it. On the contrary, those fake models have aroused a lot of inquiries, asking about output, asking whether to recruit agents, and even technology transfer, so that our people can't resist it at all. Zhong Jian shook his head, and the smugness in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"There is no one person who really knows how to do it, and it will not necessarily appear today." Chen Xu nodded, frowned, and said.
"But there's something wrong with propellers, look at that big fat man, he's been standing there staring at our propellers for two hours." Zhong Jian stretched out his hand and pointed to the person standing on the side outside the exhibition hall, staring at the back of the propeller motionless.
Chen Xu followed his fingers and looked over, and through the rotating blades, he saw a man twice as wide as himself standing under the propeller, staring at it with his head tilted.
Chen Xu licked his dry and skinny lips and sneered, "Hehe! The devil has taken the bait, don't worry about him, you are busy with your go. ”
"Director Chen, what are you doing here?" Zhong Jian saw that Chen Xu squatted down to tie his shoes, revealing a meaning of leaving the exhibition hall and going out, so he asked directly.
Chen Xu raised his head, blinked his eyes and said, "When the fish bites, it will start to reel in the line, and if it is unhooked, it will be troublesome." I won't necessarily be back tonight, and you don't have to worry about me outside, I'll call you if something happens. ”
Zhong Jian spread his hands, his face full of helplessness: "You just fell asleep this day......
"The strong work hard, the wise work hard, of course I don't have to work if I'm so smart." Chen Xu waved his hand as he walked, and trotted out of the hall of the expo.
Takashima stared intently at the rotating propellers in front of him, and he felt that with each rotation of these blades, his soul would be sucked in a little, and he couldn't take his attention off at all.
Don't look at Yuhei Takashima as a big fat man, he is the safety director of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Kobe Shipyard, although he is not engaged in design work, he manages the construction safety of the shipyard, and is quite proficient in ship design.
Originally, he accompanied his mistress to Tokyo for a vacation, as an industry insider, he came to see the Tokyo Industrial Exposition that opened today, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the propeller standing in the hall of the exhibition hall, this rotating big guy is too conspicuous, it is difficult not to see.
Even from such a distance, Yuhei Takashima could see at a glance the extraordinaryness of this propeller, and when he got closer, his eyes almost fell, and the Chinese actually showed the secret nuclear submarine propeller.
Why do you know it's a propeller? Because Chen Xu set up a fast sign next to the propeller, telling all the guests who came to visit that this big guy who turned was the submarine propeller.
"How did China do such a precise curved surface processing technology! Do they already have high-end CNC machines? As a practitioner, he knew that the Chinese would not be stupid enough to expose the propellers of active submarines to the public, and the only possibility was that they already had more advanced propeller processing technology and no longer cared about the propellers on display.
Yuhei Takashima had been standing so stupidly, thinking fiercely about various possibilities in his mind, and his mistress had already gone back to the hotel angrily because of the impatience of waiting next to him.
It wasn't until the broadcast in the exhibition hall began to remind the audience that the door was about to close, and Yuhei Takashima woke up from his thoughts, touched the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and ran out of the hall without looking back, because he knew that he had to report the matter to the top management as much as possible. Chinese may not care about this propeller, but Japan does not have such superb surface processing technology, and now such advanced technology is placed in front of Japan, and it is really sorry for Amaterasu if you don't take it.
Qian Junming and Zhong Jian looked at the back of the fat man leaving in a hurry, looked at each other and smiled, and continued to clean the exhibition hall.
