Chapter 478 Personal Computer Popularization Plan

PS: Two more votes!

................................................

As for whether the computer should be sold publicly, including exporting to foreign countries, in fact, Wen Desi was rather entangled in the first few years. The importance of computer popularization is now clearer than him in the world. The role of this thing in promoting science and technology, economy, finance and other aspects is beyond imagination, and its importance is no less than that of the industrial revolution.

But Wen Desi is worried that this kind of good thing will be copied by foreigners, with the foundation of European and American powers, plus the big killer weapon of computers, it will not be fun. So he's very entangled. But after discussing it with his wife and confidants, he realized that he was thinking too much.

For example, at that time, Gu Xiaolu said: "Do you think that if we take our current jet plane to the last century, they can copy it?"

"Of course you can't make it......"

"Then what are you worried about? We now use the third generation of integrated circuits, and they can only make electron tubes, even if they get a sample, they can copy it? Do you remember the history of China, when there was the production capacity of integrated circuits, how long did it take to make processors to catch up with the United States? This is still a situation where there is no generation difference. Not to mention that it's still several generations behind......" Gu Xiaolu glanced at him.

"Well, you win!"

So, after consulting professionals, since the year before, Wen Desi has been exporting electronic computers abroad, uh, tube computers. The price of each unit ranges from 18 million to 25 million Chinese yuan. What, it's too expensive? I love to buy it, I don't buy it!

Monopoly business is like this! If you have the ability, you can do it yourself!

Don't really say it, people are cheap, even if China increases its profits by 300 times, and only sells products and does not sell drawings, the European and American powers still rush to buy them. The United States, which has deep pockets, bought five in one go, took two back to dismantle and play, and sent three to several research institutes. Opium Cow, Gallic Chicken and Erdezi all bought two units at first, and seeing that everyone bought them, the Soviet Union, as one of the five major groups on the earth, of course couldn't help it, and they also bought two units from China. These are all dismantled with one machine, and this kind of thing is a natural skill of human beings, where do you need to be taught.

Then they were embarrassed to find that this thing could not be restored after it was disassembled, and no matter how they tossed it, there would be a bunch of extra parts. Nonsense, although Mr. Wen is not afraid of their copycats, at least the anti-demolition structure still needs to be added. Well, the inability to restore this is not the most important thing, the most frustrating thing for them is that they all know the parts that have been removed, and even if they don't know them, they can infer the function, and the structure of the computer is completely in line with the principles published by China.

But the key problem is that they find that their production process can't come out of these things. It's not that you can't copycat at all, you still know how to draw a scoop with a gourd, you are an old industrial country, and you still have this ability. However, the counterfeit goods manufactured are not only much higher in volume, weight and energy consumption than the genuine version, but also an order of magnitude worse in performance, life and stability than the original.

Well, in fact, the computers that China sold to them are also conscience goods, all of which use the miniaturized tube technology that the Soviet Union engaged in in the original time and space and later generations, and at least surpass them by more than 20 years in terms of production technology.

So the great powers put a lot of effort into improving the tube production process, while continuing to import from China, although they also know that the price is very pitiful, but there is no way. After using electronic computers, their scientists and related departments have said that this kind of thing is the best, and those mechanical computers in the past are scum. Of course, another point is that they are frustrated to find that even if they make their own copycats according to Chinese samples, the cost of counterfeit goods is equivalent to one-third of the import price from China, and taking into account factors such as performance and life, it is not as good as one-third of Chinese goods.

It is precisely because he saw that these powers could not even copy the most basic tube computers, so Wen Deji would be relieved to popularize personal computers. They can't copy things like personal computers, and because the personal computers on this plane use the Windows operating system from the beginning, the ability to prevent copycats is even better, not only hardware, but also software. As we all know, no one can program with the Windows operating system without the tools and software. Moreover, the software in circulation is all functional software for specific applications, and all engineering software involving basic languages and programming is used internally by manufacturers and software companies.

In addition, the personal computer launched by China has a rather disgusting design, that is, the operating system is solidified on a separate storage system, which is a card box, which is equivalent to the dual hard disks of later generations. However, this operating system cassette is locked, and only the manufacturer's special equipment can change it, otherwise it can only be read and cannot be rewritten. Of course, users can't upgrade the operating system by themselves, but this is also easy to solve, when you want to upgrade, the manufacturer will buy a new operating system cassette, and users who want to upgrade go to the merchant to trade in the old is to add a little handling fee.

And this operating system has a very important function, that is, it can only run application software, and all engineering software involving the basic language and programming will be automatically locked, and will use a signal system hidden on the motherboard to transmit a set of encrypted wireless signals, and if connected to the network, it will also be sent to the network.

Nothing, just a little backdoor, you know.

So personal computers can also be exported, of course not now. Because the current domestic orders are already full, even if the three computer companies have the strength to eat milk, they will not be able to complete this list in a few years. Even if you want it abroad, you will have to wait until a few years. Of course, the younger brothers of the People's Revolutionary Union and vassals like White Russia can have priority.

How good it would be to wait until those powers are playing more or less in the big hole of the tube computer, and then sell them the advanced ASUS 1. The great powers will surely be grateful, and they will surely say: Wendehei, you are such a good person!

..............................................................................

After the [ASUS Type 1] was officially finalized, Wen Desi placed a large order for the three newly formed companies of Qiankun, Taiji and Heluo, to carry out government procurement at a unit price of 1,000 Chinese yuan, that is, to retain 10% of the profits, and produce 3 million [ASUS Type 1] computers. The three companies divided 1 million units each, and asked them to prepare for the completion of the production within one year and complete the production within four years. Four years later, we will produce a large order of 3 million units in the next three years. This time, it will not be evenly divided, and then it will look at the performance of the three companies, and the three-party bidding will split the pie.

In addition, Wen Desi particularly emphasized that the unit price and profit margin of 1,000 Chinese yuan are limited to this contract. If the output can exceed the standard, or the subsequent commercial production and sales after the completion of this government procurement project, the company can reasonably increase the pricing to obtain higher profits. His advice to the three leaders is that the recommended profit margin is not higher than 50% when selling domestically, and no more than 300% when selling abroad.

In addition, in view of the monopolistic nature of personal computers at present, he asked him to immediately go back and draft a bill that would impose an export tax of not less than 100 percent on computer products until similar products appear abroad. Due to a series of related technologies, such as silicon wafer growth and integrated circuit technology, the Chinese government has listed it as a top secret that prohibits export and transfer, and there is also a transistor technology in the middle, which cannot be replicated by foreign countries.

According to the analysis of experts, even if samples are available, the most optimistic estimate is that it will take at least 30 to 40 years for foreign countries to develop and produce the most basic integrated circuits, and by then China should have developed the fourth or even fifth generation of computers. There's no way, electronic technology is a step by step difference, just look at the Soviet Union and the Datu Dynasty in the original time and space.

The main purpose of Wen Desi's proposal for this government procurement bill is that he will not only popularize personal computers in various government organs, the military, and scientific research institutes, but also send personal computers to all schools above the middle school level.

After 20 years of hard work, the enrolment rate in both primary and junior high schools in China has exceeded 99 percent, and even school-age children with special circumstances have been sent to special education schools. There are more than 48 million students enrolled in primary schools and 250,000 primary schools nationwide. There are 25 million students in junior high schools, and there are 30,000 junior high schools, including adult schools and special schools.

There are more than 15,000 schools in high school education, with about 21 million students enrolled, including general high schools, adult high schools, secondary specialized schools, vocational and technical schools, and other equivalent high schools. Schools at this level require entrance examinations, and the acceptance rate of general high schools is about 25%.

There are 2,500 colleges and universities in the country, with 2.4 million students. It is divided into adult colleges, vocational and technical schools and ordinary colleges and universities, and the admission rate of ordinary colleges and universities (including professional colleges and undergraduate colleges) from high school is about 20%. This is already the largest student population and proportion in the world, and even the United States and Europe combined do not have so many students. The fundamental reason for this is that the Chinese government has maintained a high level of education spending, and has been supported by incentives such as tax rebates for enterprises and private schools to set up schools. In fact, due to China's traditional emphasis on education, and the strong push of Wen Dehei, the Chinese constitution mandates that China's annual education expenditure must not be less than 15% of government spending and 5% of GNP. But that's off topic.

All in all, Wen Desi plans to popularize computers in all schools above junior high school, based on the calculation of 30 computers in one computer classroom, then: 2 computer classrooms in each junior high school, and 60,000 computer classrooms in 30,000 junior high schools, a total of 1.8 million computers are needed. Each high school has 4 computer classrooms, and 15,000 high schools have 60,000 computer classrooms, with a total of 1.8 million computers. There are 8 computer classrooms in each university-level school, and 2,500 universities have 20,000 computer classrooms, with a total of 600,000 computers.

This is a top-down approach, so the first batch of 3 million computers will be used to meet the needs of universities and high schools, and the rest will be sent to research institutes. The second batch of computers is going to be sent to the lieutenant colonel. These extra batches will be sent to the government and military departments. It is expected that in seven years, every school above the junior high school level will have a computer classroom to meet the needs of at least one computer class per week, and at least one computer teaching at the same time can be open and free to use. In addition, the overall campus network and Internet system will also be planned and constructed at the same time.

Of course, it is not enough to just send the computer, which also needs the cooperation of teachers. Based on the calculation of 2 teachers per computer classroom, nearly 240,000 computer teachers are needed. But at the beginning, the number is not so large, just recruit and train computer teachers when the company is preparing in the first year, and then increase the allocation year by year. In addition, when the school is first rolled out to the middle school, it will be possible to let the college graduates who have completed computer science go to work as computer teachers.

Such a large-scale investment is very considerable. The first batch of computer lists alone requires an investment of 3.3 billion Chinese dollars (plus freight and installation fees), and two batches of a total of 6 million computers require a total of more than 6.6 billion Chinese yuan, plus the training of teachers, classroom construction, the construction of a nationwide overall network system and follow-up maintenance and other expenditures, the total investment in seven years is about 9 billion Chinese yuan, enough to build 200 latest super dreadnoughts. But he knew very well that the investment was well worth it.

It should be mentioned that the performance of the high-level computers used by various secret units is roughly equivalent to that of the later 486 models, and the performance of the medium-level computers used in various research institutes, satellites, ships, and other vehicles is roughly equivalent to that of the later 386 models. These computers are all 32-bit processors, and all of them outperform the PCs that will soon become popular.

In addition, the [ASUS Type 1 Simple Version] and [Rainbow Type 1] they engaged in, Mr. Wen felt that the functions were a bit repetitive, so he asked them to combine the two, and changed the design, added two gamepads, retained the Internet function, used the card box of the solidification program, and added the function of connecting peripherals such as printers. It has become a veritable netbook, no, Mr. Wen officially named it "Internet Learning Machine" with a stroke of his pen.

This thing is much simpler than a regular computer, so there is no need to trouble these three companies to produce, Mr. Wen set up a new company called "Rainbow Electronics", and allocated the production of this new rainbow type one network learning machine to this company. Because since the opening of the "Internet café", many enterprises, businesses and the first generation of Internet worms have expressed a strong desire to move the Internet home, which is also to take care of those people. The domestic price of each rainbow type one online learning machine is 500 yuan, which is very cheap.

..................................................................

After arranging the computer, learning machine and game console, Mr. Wen received a very shocking piece of information.

"Is the information accurate?" Wen Deji took the information in his hand and looked through it several times, still thinking it was too ridiculous. He even felt like he didn't get up the right way today.

"We have confirmed it repeatedly, and we have also confirmed it to [Sword in the Stone], this information is completely true......"

"......" Wen Desi didn't know what to say. He wanted to shout: Ah, Niu Niu, why are you so good?!
