The news of Ni Guangnan's joining Infinity Company quickly spread, and some academic journals and magazines focused on this matter.

After all, he is definitely the most authoritative expert in the field of computers in this era, and now he has joined a private company, how can he not cause a sensation.

Even computer stocks in the stock market have heard the wind, and there has been a long-lost rise and limit again, leading the Shanghai Composite Index to rebound sharply.

And Lenovo has once again been in the spotlight of the world.

Liu Chuanzhi was silent on the matter and did not express any opinion.

Many people don't know that Lenovo was first a state-owned enterprise under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Computer Science.

At that time, the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences invested 200,000 yuan, and Liu Chuanzhi led more than a dozen employees of the Institute of Computer Science to establish the New Technology Development Company of the Institute of Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. (Predecessor of Lenovo)

This was the first group of scientific researchers to go to sea.

Chunjiang plumbing duck prophet, The tide of gold panning in the sea is rolling in, and scientific researchers can't resist this temptation and have begun to step into the commercial sea.

At that time, the director of the computer institute also decided that the company could recruit personnel from the computer institute without restrictions, and could also return any person who was not suitable to the computer institute.

What's more, all the people of the company can retain the establishment of the computing office, be paid by the Huaxia Finance, and enjoy the right to continue to be promoted in the computing office.

This would be unimaginable in a few decades.

You're still in a fucking business.

But in those days, it happened.

To make breakthroughs in scientific research, and to make money in companies.

At the beginning, Liu Chuanzhi and others racked their brains in order to make money, and they bumped around like a headless fly all day long.

I saw others doing wholesale and being a "bad master" for a while.

Specializes in reselling electronic watches, roller skates, as well as large pants and refrigerators.

It's also the lowest cost and the fastest way to get money.

Once, color TVs became a hot commodity, and Liu Chuanzhi heard that there was a woman in a foreign area who had a large number of color TVs in her hands, so she decided to make it a hand.

Liu Chuanzhi was very excited, and he told the staff that they must see the color TV with their own eyes before sending money.

The passionate employee excitedly told him, I saw it! I see it! I saw a big box of color TVs in the warehouse!

Unexpectedly, as soon as they remitted the money, the other party smeared oil on the soles of their feet and disappeared without a trace, and the boxes in those warehouses were completely empty!

calculated the 200,000 given, and was cheated out of 140,000 in an instant!

Liu Chuanzhi was like five thunderbolts, wanting to cry without tears, and in the end they could only use the remaining funds to choose a direction to turn the tables, make a desperate bet, and gamble.

Eventually, they approached Ni Guangnan, who was working in a computer lab, because he had something that was changing the market, disrupting the industry, the associative Chinese character system.

At that time, there were about 110,000 personal computers in China, almost all of them from IBM, which could only run in an English-speaking environment.

Without a certain foundation in English, ordinary people can't use a computer at all.

Ni Guangnan's Chinese character system, also known as Hanka, can convert all English into Chinese characters.

When Liu Chuanzhi saw Ni Guangnan's Hanka, his eyes lit up, and he immediately found him and asked for cooperation.

However, Ni Guangnan didn't like him at all.

It turned out that he had handed over the LX-80 Hanka to several companies such as Beijing Information and Communications and South China Aviation Technology, and was ready to sell at a price to see who sold more and cooperated with whom.

In terms of eloquence, Liu Chuanzhi can be described as unbridled, they all came out to do business, who is afraid of whom?

He gushed endlessly, and then made a final decision, saying that his mission is to realize Ni Guangnan's dream and ensure that all of Ni's research results will be turned into products!

As a result, Liu and Ni hit it off, and Lenovo's technical core was born.

Later, Liu Chuanzhi still felt that Hanka's profits were not profitable enough, so he decided to import foreign computers, plug in Hanka and sell them, and eat the profits of a whole dragon.

In fact, it was a big seller, with sales reaching 17.5 million yuan in the first year and soaring to 73.45 million yuan in the second year.

In 1987, you can imagine what the concept of this number was.

However, this is far from satisfying Liu Chuanzhi's ambitions.

The AST brand is an American company, founded by two Hong Kong and a Pakistani, and these three people, combined the first English letter of their name, it is AST.

In 1982, AST made the first batch of computer motherboards, which were suitable for IBM microcomputers and also adapted to various compatible machines.

In 1988, Lenovo signed a $1 million contract with AST to purchase 3,000 machines for domestic and overseas markets.

Liu Chuanzhi's ambition is to follow the path of AST, develop computer boards, step by step, and then replace them.

Later, Ni Guangnan finally developed Lenovo's cross-era product - the 286 prototype in a narrow laboratory in Xiangjiang.

Tested with speed testing software, the computing speed was 1.7 times faster than the fastest (AST 286) in the Chinese market at that time, which made the Lenovo 286 motherboard a bestseller at the Hannover Technology Show in Germany.

Through this move, Lenovo brand has also successfully entered the international market.

At this time, Lenovo still had technology, and it was once the most powerful technology company in China.

However, the overall scientific research team still relies on researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences led by Ni Guangnan.

For example, some of the key businesses are directly given by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

At that time, Lenovo could not only use the research results of the Institute of Computing for free, but also use the office, telephone, and all the resources of the institute.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences holds a 29% stake in Lenovo, but does not have a veto.

This also lays a hidden danger for the future, leading to a loss of control over Lenovo.

The relationship between the two is very complex.

So sometimes, it's not hard to imagine why Lenovo always stands.

And in this time and space, there will always be some inexplicable people who will appear to break this original trajectory

After Ni Guangnan joined Infinity, he formed a complete chip design team through his own network resources, most of which were graduate students from some universities in Beijing.

The reason why it was so smooth, in addition to Ni Guangnan's signboard, the salary offered to them by Chen Jie was also one of the important factors.

The salary is high to a certain extent, and the establishment is nothing.

All of them signed a non-disclosure agreement before they had permission to use the company's equipment.

And when they saw those precision instruments, the degree of shock in their hearts was no less than the explosion of a nuclear bomb and the landing of US imperialism on the moon.

Because there are many machines in the factory, even the leaders in their professional fields don't know how to use them, and they don't even know how to turn them on.

This made Ni Guangnan very faceless.

That's it, graduate school.

But when he saw the machines with his own eyes, he was silent.

Machining centers with automatic tool magazines, five-axis CNC machine tools, and laser positioning interferometers do not have such advanced things in China.

I've never seen it, let alone program a product part.

And they don't dare to move around, I heard that a machine is at least millions of dollars, and it is tens of millions of dollars, and it is tens of millions of dollars, and they can't afford to pay for it if it breaks.

Money can't buy it.

In the end, it was Ni Guangnan who came forward.

Be cheeky and ask Professor Kruger, the only person in the entire park, and possibly in the whole of China, who can drive these machines.
