Unsurprisingly, Fan Wuxian went to CCTV with his father Fan Heng.

It took a whole day with Lao Chen to draw up the advertising contract, this time CCTV's advertising contract items have been much improved compared with the previous year, and many details have been concretely reflected, so Fan Wuxian spent more time looking at the contract, in general, the overlord clause that appeared later has not yet been presented in the current contract.

The only thing that made Fan Wuxi feel a little unhappy was that Pingyuan Factory, which held a large number of shares, also required to sign the contract, so that Fan Wuxian and others would not be able to go home before the Spring Festival.

However, this request could not be refused, otherwise, the contract could not be passed, so Fan Wuxi, his father Fan Heng, and his sister Fan Ting could only continue to stay in the capital and wait for the signing representative of the Pingyuan Factory to come to Beijing.

"It's okay, anyway, my sister's exam is also completed, so we can just walk around, and we can be idle." Fan Wuxian looked very open, and he looked like I didn't care.

It is impossible to say that there is no blockage in the heart, money is a good thing, but as soon as there is more money, trouble will follow. Pingyuan factory due to the receipt of the single machine project, suddenly rich, the leaders have more ideas, since we have always been working, why do we only take such a small return?

Therefore, at this signing ceremony, they made up their minds to come over and insert a lever to reflect the value of their own existence and seek more benefits for the future.

"If you want to sign, you can, but there is one clause, the advertising fee must be paid according to the proportion of equity, and I don't deserve this wrong." That's what Fan Wuxian said.

It seems that it's time to find another way, let the plain factory dominate, for themselves, for the booming single machine market, there is no benefit, rather than cultivating a market monster that is not at their own disposal, it is better to cultivate more sheep who are willing to serve themselves to be more assured.

For the Pingyuan Factory, Fan Wuxian felt that he had done his best. To be a man, you must know how to repay kindness, it is not impossible to get an inch, you have to have so much strength.

Playing the trick of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge with me, that is absolutely wrong! Fan Wuxian said.

Fan Heng also felt a little embarrassed, the whole project was made by Fan Wuxi, and the money was also made by Fan Wuxian himself, including many important components at that time, which were obtained by Fan Wuxian through the relationship between Hong Kong and Yueben, but the career was on the right track, and the Pingyuan factory began to mess around, isn't it chilling?

If Fan Wuxian has any rebound, Fan Heng, as a father, is not easy to say anything, even if he says anything, he doesn't expect Fan Wuxian to accept it, after all, Fan Wuxian himself is very assertive, and Pingyuan Factory has done too much.

Fan Wuxian and his sister Fan Ting went to Zhongguancun for a trip.

At this time, Zhongguancun was still in the stage of small start-ups, and there were about 40 science and technology companies on the street, known as the "electronic street" of Yanjing City.

The most well-known companies in Zhongguancun are "two links and two seas", Xintong, Sitong, Jinghai, and Kehai, and their founders are all scientific researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences without exception.

The reason for this situation is related to the general environment at that time. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is on the verge of expansion and transformation, and in the past few years, hundreds of research institutes of various names have emerged, while the research carried out seems to be getting farther and farther away from the international level. For example, the "757 Project," a large-scale computer that took eight years to develop, was completed and won the first prize of the "Major Scientific and Technological Achievements" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In this situation, it is imperative to streamline the organization, and many people have to re-examine their own way out, so the most popular phrase in the 84 years is "go to the sea". Finding a way out on their own has become a new choice for a group of intellectuals who are not willing to be lonely.

For example, in his report to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wang Hongde, the founder of Jinghai, resolutely wrote, "No matter what way, transfer, hiring, resignation, or dismissal, as long as you can get out, you can do it." Wan Runnan, who founded Sitong Company, advertised everywhere that he was a "private enterprise" and "no superior supervisor".

Compared with these entrepreneurs, Liu Chuanzhi, who was still unknown at that time, was much more low-key, and his surname of being good at borrowing strength and compromise allowed him to go further than others. From the very beginning, Liu Chuanzhi did not completely sever the mother-son relationship between the company and the computing institute, not only did he not want to do that, but even hoped to strengthen this kind of blood tie in many cases.

At that time, the company's start-up capital was 200,000 yuan allocated by the calculation institute, Lenovo's assets were state-owned enterprises, the appointment of Liu Chuanzhi and others had to be approved by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the company's employees could continue to enjoy the right to be promoted in professional and technical positions and salaries in the computing institute, and the company could use the research results of the computing institute free of charge, and even use the office, telephone and all resources in the institute. Even the company borrowed from the bank, and all of them were borrowed from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with the Chinese Academy of Sciences Computing Institute as the "contract application borrowing unit" and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Development Bureau as the guarantee unit, which naturally solved the problem of early sources of funds.

While fully enjoying the state-owned resources, Liu Chuanzhi enjoys considerable autonomy in the power of financial, personnel, and operational decision-making. It's a very mixed state, and no one seems to want to sort it out, and it's only when Lenovo grows that its asset ownership becomes sensitive.

When Fan Wuxian went to the predecessor of Lenovo, he found that this was a small company, and the two rooms inside and outside added up to 20 square meters, and it is said that this was the communication room of the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Many years later, in China, it was often compared to that famous Stamford garage at Hewlett-Packard. Liu Chuanzhi later recalled that its location was east of the west gate of the computing institute, and that the house was made of bricks, dark gray on the outside, and was divided into two rooms on the inside, with concrete floors and lime walls, and that there were no desks or computers in the house. There are two benches in the outhouse, lined up along the corners, and there are two three-drawer tables in the inner room, and the tables and stools don't need to be bought.

And now, there was a stove in the house, and the room was filled with a somewhat pungent smell of soot, and the white-plastered walls were cracked, and the dense fine lines were like unpredictable life. After being smoked by the soot, the walls are also slightly yellowed, and generally speaking, they are neatly cleaned up, but there are many large cardboard boxes piled up in the corners of the back wall, which are estimated to be used to load goods.

"Is Mr. Liu there?" After Fan Wuxian sighed, he asked a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Mr. Liu?" The person inside was obviously flustered for a moment, and then reacted, "Oh, Liu Chuanzhi! Are you looking for him? When I got out of the gate of the computing office, I looked to both sides, and there was a stall selling electronic watches and roller skates nearby, who was about the same age as me, and that person was it! ”

It's really selling shoes! Fan Wuxi suddenly felt a little sweaty, and his heart was really difficult for these intellectuals, Mr. Liu was a senior intellectual, a magnetic recording technology engineer, after a famous family, he was born in a scholarly family, his maternal grandfather was the finance minister of the warlord Sun Chuanfang, and his father was one of the earliest financiers in the party.

It is really courageous to let him, a Kochi in his forties, come to practice the stall!

Fan Wuxi looked at it from a distance, only to see a middle-aged man standing next to the stall, because of the cold weather, he walked over from time to time, stomped his feet slightly, the business was okay, people often came to ask or bargain, Fan Wuxi also noticed that there were some clothes hanging on the wall behind him for sale.

Fan Wuxi noticed that the middle-aged man's demeanor was very focused, although the elegance on his body lingered, but it could not affect his communication and exchange with the buyer at all.

Fan Ting was very strange that Fan Wuxian would come over to see people practicing stalls, "Do you know him?" ”

Fan Wuxian shook his head and said, "I know him, he doesn't recognize me." But then he added, "However, I estimate that in a few years more and more people will know him, unless, of course, he does not want to be known." ”

"Isn't it just going to the sea to practice stalls? As for like you say? Fan Ting was a little skeptical.

Fan Wuxian smiled and didn't say anything more, he deeply looked at the middle-aged man who was the first to have a relationship with IBM in China, became IBM's most important agent in China, and acquired IBM's PC division for $1.6 billion 20 years later, and left this place with his sister Fan Ting.

"Is there anything else to do nearby?"

"Nearby? It seems to be all crop fields. ”

"Is there really none?"

"Not really!"

At the beginning of '84, Zhongguancun was really empty, except for dozens of large and small companies, there were really only crops left.
