"What's a PDA?" Until the way back, Tan Na didn't forget to ask Lin Zheng this question.
The value of knowledge was vividly reflected in the negotiation just now, Tan Na could not have imagined that just some broad, conceptual things could be exchanged for $5oo dollars in cash and $1ooo dollars worth of Microsoft stock, oh yes, even the rnet-1net-1cd LCD production line purchased by Lisheng Electronics was also paid for by Microsoft!
It's just that as a business manager who has received old-style enterprise management education, Tan Na always feels that a company can't always play these virtual things, and must always have tangible products that can be seen and touched. The PDA that Gates was talking about completely captivated her.
"Pocket PC...... Well, you can think of it as a handheld mobile smart device that is about the same size as the latest digital mobile phone that has come out now, with certain computer functions, and can provide functions such as note-taking, itinerary scheduling, and reminders, Apple's Newton handheld computer is such a thing, but in my opinion, Newton is a failure. ”
"Newton's comparative failures?" Tanna exclaimed.
Said handheld computer she has not reacted for a while, but when it comes to Apple's "Newton", the little witch immediately reacted, in last year's just listed "Newton" for Apple won a series of international awards, is considered to be the most innovative intelligent device in electronic products in the last 2O years, its pioneering application of monochrome STN-1CD touch LCD screen. Not only does it have infrared capabilities, but it also supports handwriting, which is considered by many to be a revolutionary and disruptive product. But such a product is only a "relatively failure" in Lin Zheng's mouth?
"That's right, it's just a failure," Lin Zheng nodded, "Although 'Newton' was very popular, don't you think Apple hasn't found an accurate market positioning for 'Newton' at all?" What exactly can Newton do for the users who use it? I'm afraid that even Apple itself is a little confused about this, look at the reaction of 'Newton' in the market now. It's not too much to say that it's a failed product. ”
"You're saying that handheld computers aren't useful?" Tan Na tried to understand for a long time, and then she reluctantly gave an answer.
"I didn't say that." Lin Zheng smiled, "I mean, limited by the current technical conditions, the role that the handheld computer can play is very limited. It can only be regarded as an extremely incomplete electronic personal assistant. But I am very optimistic about the future of handheld computers, do you know the trend of computers? ”
"Huh? What the? Tan Na was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lin Zheng meant.
"In the early days, it was a computer for one country, such as the one that the United States drove to make the atomic bomb; Later, it was a scientific research institute with a computer; Later, it became a large consortium and a large group company, and a computer; By the beginning of the 8o's, it became a small company or even a person could have a computer, and in my opinion 'Newton' was not successful, but its significance was groundbreaking. It pioneered 'everyone has a computer in their hands and in their pocket', believed for a maximum of 2o years. Having a computer in everyone's pocket has a good chance of becoming a reality. ”
"Everybody has a computer in their pocket?" Tan Na exclaimed in a low voice, Lin Zheng's crazy prophecy frightened her, "This...... That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”
Lin Zheng smiled, "It's not an exaggeration, let's look at the year 198o, at that time, computers were still something that only a few scientific research institutes could have, and now?" It must be an exaggeration to say that each person has a computer, but most government agencies, enterprises and institutions have it, right? Some families with better conditions also have it, which shows that computers have begun to enter individual families, and perhaps the goal of having a computer in every family can really be achieved in 1o years. ”
Tan Na felt that Lin Zheng's words were too exaggerated, every family has a computer? How expensive are today's computers, and the price of tens of thousands of dollars is affordable for ordinary people? Even at the University of Science and Technology of China, which is famous for its computer technology, not every teacher can have a computer, let alone ordinary people.
Of course, Lin Zheng can't say to Tan Na that in the future, the computer has changed from a strict scientific research tool to a family audio-visual tool and entertainment tool, work aids, as for the handheld computer, you don't even have to wait until 2o years later, to 2oo7 years after the smartphones of various platforms have begun to popularize, compared to those handheld computers that get up early, the functions of smart phones are larger and more complete, easy to use, easy to play is also higher, after installing some necessary software, "everyone has a smart computer in their pocket" This goal, which seemed impossible in 1994, was achieved as a matter of course.
"Have you forgotten Moore's Law?" Lin Zheng asked with a smile, "The basis for my judgment is Moore's Law." ”
"Moore's Law?" Tan Na was stunned for a moment, then thoughtful.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Hello Professor Ma, Hello Professor Sun, Hello Liu Gong......" Looking at these experts who had just walked out of the terminal building, Lin Zheng's smile was extremely bright, "I have worked hard all the way." ”
These experts and professors are all the backbone of the domestic liquid crystal technology research field, although they are not the leading figures in the domestic liquid crystal technology...... Lin Zheng can't invite such a character...... Professor Ma Jiajun is from the National Flat Panel Display Engineering Research Center established by the State Science and Technology Commission on the basis of Jinling 55 Institute; Professor Sun Qidong is from Duqing & Hua LCD Technology Engineering Research Center; Engineer Liu Xiangqian is from Tianma Microelectronics Liquid Crystal Technology Research Center.
In order to ask these experts to help him check the gates, Lin Zheng paid a lot of price...... I've been looking at these experts for a long time, and it would be nice to be able to take advantage of this opportunity to keep them.
"Mr. Lin is polite," several experts were very polite, "It's hard but it's not hard, it should be." ”
The "hardship fee" given by Lisheng Electronics to invite them to go out is very generous, and it is nothing to work hard for this.
When everyone got into the reception car provided by the hotel, Lin Zheng said with a smile, "We have prepared rooms for several professors, after we go back, we will eat something to cushion our stomachs and rest, and I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for everyone in the evening. ”
"Mr. Lin, don't be so polite," Professor Ma Jiajun is obviously the most senior and prestigious in this line, hearing Lin Zheng say this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Mr. Lin can rest assured that we are entrusted with the matter of loyalty, since we have promised you to help with this, we must do our best within our ability, there are still a lot of things in the center, and we have to go back quickly after we are busy with this side of things." ”
Several professors are not young, and even people who are really focused on technology, for those domestic government officials to squeeze out the quota of engineering and technical personnel to go abroad, the phenomenon of traveling abroad is very unaccustomed, they did not intend to agree to Lin Zheng's request at first, but after hearing that Lisheng Electronics intends to introduce a graphic dot matrix STN-1CD LCD production line, but some can't sit still, in addition to TFT-1Net-1CD is currently the most advanced LCD display in the world, It would be great to be able to learn about the progress of foreign liquid crystal products, and by the way, you can also buy a few professional journals.
Lin Zheng didn't argue, and nodded with a smile, "Several professors are high-spirited, which is admirable. ”
……………………
Originally, I thought that Lisheng Electronics had prepared for itself a accommodation place equivalent to the level of a domestic guest house, but when I came to the door of the hotel and saw the splendid hotel in front of me, several professors suddenly became extremely restrained, and the majestic hotel brought them huge psychological pressure, although they had not yet moved in, but they were already afraid, "Mr. Lin, this is ...... This hotel is expensive, right? Why don't we change it? ”
This hotel is the one where Lin Zheng lives, he lives in this hotel, and there is absolutely no reason for the experts he invited to live in a small hotel, Lin Zheng said with a smile, "Don't think about it a few teachers, I and the people of our company also live in this hotel, and it is more convenient for everyone to live together, and they can take care of each other." ”
Hearing Lin Zheng say this, several professors finally became less restrained, glanced at each other, and Professor Ma Jiajun said to Lin Zheng, "Mr. Lin, this hotel ...... Expensive, right? ”
"It's not expensive, it's less than $4oo a day in a standard room."
"4oo dollars? So expensive? Several professors exclaimed in unison, and they were all taken aback: with the current ratio of RMB to the US dollar, wouldn't the cost of accommodation for this night catch up with their monthly salary? In an instant, several professors even had the idea of asking Lin Zheng to give them the money, and they would find a cheap hotel to live in: they were going to stay in the United States for almost a week, and wouldn't the money saved be enough to catch up with their income for half a year?
"There's no way, Lisheng Electronics is facing giants like Texas Instruments, Ford Motor, RCA, and Microsoft, and it's actually very cheap to live in a four-star hotel, but it's a pity that the five-star one is too expensive, and we can't afford to live in it." Lin Zheng said with a wry smile.
It's just that several professors who listened to Lin Zheng's words looked at each other: We have heard that you Lisheng Electronics and Texas Instruments have business dealings, and this STN-1Net-1CD LCD production line is upgraded on the basis of this, we all know this, but what is the matter between Ford Motor and Microsoft?
