Chapter 175: Termination of the contract one after another! (5.3k)

key to !!

Dada......

In the office, the sound of typing on the keyboard is like a storm, endless, and amazing.

God-level programming technology, hand speed is as fast as electricity, even comparable to a piano master playing the piano.

There was a pause for a moment, a slight groan, followed by a continuous stream of keyboard sounds.

Zhao Ye was immersed in the world of programming and couldn't extricate himself.

Lu Xingping then contacted Laurien Dick, Apple's vice president.

"Mr. Dick, I told my boss about your request, and he said that there is no problem, your conditions can be met!"

"Oh, that's great news!!" Laurien Dick is delighted, "It seems that our two companies will soon become strategic partners!" ”

"Yes, that's right, Mr. Dick, I can go to Apple tomorrow morning and sign a cooperation agreement!" Lu Xingping smiled and said.

"Okay, then, waiting for you!" Laurian Dick replied.

The next day, Lu Xingping signed a cooperation agreement with Apple very smoothly, which not only allowed Wujiang Group to get the long-awaited Windows patent, but also obtained Apple, a major customer.

For Apple, if you can get the most advanced products of Wujiang Group, you can build a high-end Apple computer brand and regain market share.

Both sides were happy.

……

……

"Lu Jia, give, this is the plan for the next product that I hope Wujiang Communication Technology Company will develop."

Zhao Ye came to Wujiang Communication Technology Company at this time and handed Lu Jia a piece of information.

Lu Jia accepted the information and immediately flipped through it.

Network Switches and Routers ??? Lu Jia looked at the title, his face was thoughtful, and he couldn't help but read it.

Zhao Ye nodded and said, "That's right, it's these two products." There's a company in the U.S. called Cisco, you know? ”

Lu Jia nodded and replied: "I know that this company was founded by a professor from Stanford University, mainly developing routers. ”

"Well, yes. We're also developing routers now, and we can't get too far behind Cisco.

Routers can do a lot of things, they can connect to different networks!

A network switch, on the other hand, connects multiple computers in different locations to the network system to form a local area network......

The importance of these two products is huge! ”

Zhao Ye picked up simple and important things, and more specific things were written in the information.

With the increasing popularity of personal computers, the Internet era will slowly approach.

Routers and network switches will become more and more important.

In the past life, Cisco relied on routers and switches in the early 2000s to become the world's largest company by market capitalization, close to $600 billion!

Even if the Internet is not yet fully emerging today, routers and network switches are still very useful.

The company can assemble the company's local area network, the school can set up the school local area network, and the computer room can set up the local area network...... Especially for enterprises, office efficiency will be greatly improved.

Of course, Zhao Ye also has a purpose, which is to prepare for the opening of an Internet café in the future.

In fact, the country is now connected to the Internet.

As early as 1986, the domestic "China Academic Network" was launched, referred to as CANET. In September 1987, CANET officially built China's first international Internet e-mail node in the BJ Institute of Computer Application Technology, and sent China's first e-mail on September 14: "Across the Great Wall we can reach every corner in the world. (Over the Great Wall, Out into the World)".

Just last year, in 1988, China's first X.25 packet-switched network (CNPAC) was built, covering BJ, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Xi'an, Wuhan, Chengdu, Nanjing, Shenzhen and other cities.

Through this "X.25 backbone", it is basically possible to realize the international remote connection of computers and e-mail communication with Europe and North America.

However, this is not an official Internet connection.

When China first accessed the Internet, it was denied access by the United States, which could not allow socialist countries to access the Internet because of the many scientific and technological information and other resources on the Internet.

This matter was discussed for a long time, until April 20, 1994, the NCFC (China National Computer and Network Facility) project was opened through the 64K international dedicated line connected to the Internet by Sprint Company in the United States, realizing a full-featured connection to the Internet. Since then, China has been officially recognized by the international community as a country with a truly full-featured Internet. This event was rated as one of China's top ten science and technology news in 1994 by the Chinese press, and was listed as one of China's major scientific and technological achievements in 1994 by the National Statistical Bulletin.

The development of the Internet in China is slower than that of the United States, and the most influential factor is the router. In the construction of "NCFC", the most critical equipment is also the router.

In the NCFC design stage, due to the export restrictions of Batumi and the United States, routers and equipment of the middle and low-end level cannot be imported. The DECRouter obtained in the first phase of the experimental project can only support the rate of 19.2Kbps, and only supports the DECnet protocol, and cannot run TCP/IP. For high-speed optical cable networks, routers should be able to support 10Mbps communication and run TCP/IP protocols.

At that time, there were no routers produced in China and no routers could be imported, which led to a lag in the development of NCFC.

You must know that the NCFC project was proposed in May 1990, and it took more than 4 years to succeed.

Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. will start to develop routers now, and when the country proposes the NCFC project, Wujiang Group can directly provide a large number of routers to China, so that Chinese can enjoy the joy of Internet surfing in advance!

Wujiang Group can even become China's first Internet company, just like the first Internet company in its previous life, Inseaway, which provides both Internet dial-up services and website services.

During this period, Internet companies are basically losing money, but it doesn't matter, when the time comes, go to NASDAQ, go public and ring the bell, the company will have money, and it will be able to return to its original cost in an instant.

When the dot-com bubble bursts, it buys the bottom and then delists.

After the wool is gathered, it is gone.

Don't let Americans share in the success of Internet companies!

That's it!

Lu Jia looked through the information and read it carefully, in the information, Zhao Ye introduced the Internet in the United States in detail, and made a lot of bold speculations, such as the global Internet, as long as everyone goes online, they can contact people anywhere in the world.

After reading this information, Lu Jia suddenly realized that what the boss said may be true, which means that the market for routers will be very large.

Actually, this is already very conservative, Zhao Ye didn't say that he could shop online, watch movies and listen to music, and play large-scale online games, for fear that Lu Jia would not be able to accept it.

And there is no need to say that with the current technology, it can't be achieved in a short period of time, and it can be very good to be able to send an email and browse BBS on the Internet, what kind of bicycle do you need......

"Boss, this information is very valuable, through this information, I have seen the future application scenarios of network switches and routers, which is really promising!" Lu Jia sighed with emotion.

Zhao Ye pouted, what you see is only the tip of the iceberg.

"By the way, when it comes to routers, Wujiang Communication Technology must arrange a development team to research wireless routers, and in the future, our laptops will be able to connect to wireless routers......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ye suddenly paused, wait...... It seems that at this stage, laptops are useless even wireless routers, unless the country is connected to the Internet. No, it can be sold in the United States. The Internet in the United States is growing rapidly. However, the first thing you have to do is develop the browser software.

At this time, the computer did not have a browser, so the entertainment attribute of the Internet was very low, and everyone just used it to send emails or files.

If the HarmonyOS comes with a browser, it's hard not to be popular......

I'm a genius!

The network switch can set up a local area network, open a computer room or Internet café, make a lot of money, and at the same time, promote Shenzhou Computer, and master an important promotion channel.

And the wireless router makes the Shenzhou laptop unique, and you can connect to the Internet without dragging a network cable.

The browser is even more of a big killer, with it, you can build a few websites, and you can't fascinate American consumers?

Lu Jia's eyes lit up when he heard that the laptop was connected to the wireless router at this time, if this is the case, the market for wireless routers should not be underestimated!

"Boss, your ideas are really imaginative, admirable!" Lu Jia sighed. For the development of wireless routers, Lu Jia is full of confidence.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of short-range wireless communication technology to convert wired network signals into wireless signals.

Zhao Ye smiled and said modestly: "Where, others can think of it." Oh, by the way, this wireless networking technology is called wifi, develop it as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, boss!"

"By the way, we also need to develop a short-range communication technology!" Zhao Ye suddenly spoke. Since we're going to develop wifi, why not even develop bluetooth!

WiFi must have a router to use.

The Bluetooth technology has radio frequency characteristics, adopts TDMA structure and multi-level network structure, and applies frequency hopping technology and wireless technology in technology, which has the advantages of high transmission efficiency and high security, and is used by all walks of life. Devices have Bluetooth modules for short-range communication with each other.

WiFi and Bluetooth have their own merits, but both are very important.

Especially when wireless routers are not very popular, Bluetooth has a wider range of application scenarios, such as two mobile phones, which can communicate with each other without the help of any other devices.

For example, electronic pet machines can also be connected with Bluetooth, which is more stable and smooth than connecting with infrared.

At this time, Lu Jia was a little confused, "Boss, wifi is very good, why do you want to develop a short-range communication technology?" ”

"Is there WiFi on the street? No, how do you make short-range communication between two devices? Is this also a demand? ”

"Hungry, listen to what the boss said, this kind of short-distance communication technology between devices is really a rigid need!"

"That's right, this technology is still different from wifi, I call it Bluetooth technology! Therefore, Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. wants to develop both WiFi and Bluetooth technology. If you lack any manpower, you will recruit and find a foreign headhunting company! ”

"Boss, you can rest assured, Wujiang Communication Technology Company is full of talents, and the development of wifi and Bluetooth is not a problem!!"

"That's good!"

……

Seeing Lu Jia away, Zhao Ye got up and came to the wine cabinet, found a bottle of Romanée Conti red wine, poured himself a glass, and while tasting the wine, he thought about his preparations for the promotion of "Shenzhou Computer".

"If this is the case, "Shenzhou Computer" is not popular, then I will be speechless!" Zhao Ye muttered.

"It's better to develop the source engine as soon as possible, even if the lack of wireless routers and wifi doesn't have much impact for the time being, but the lack of games will definitely seriously affect the sales of Shenzhou computers!"

Zhao Ye drank all the red wine and immediately went to type the code again.

……

It is said that there is no impermeable wall in the world.

IBM soon learned that Wujiang Group was going to get involved in the PC industry, and immediately sent a letter of inquiry or threat.

“…… Wujiang Group is the general agent of IBM-PC in China, but now Wujiang Group is secretly developing personal computers, making it clear that it wants to compete with IBM-PC. I advise Wujiang Group to give up its self-developed computer brand and not to be obsessed, otherwise, IBM will cancel its cooperation with Wujiang Group!! ”

IBM-PC is now very strong, occupying an absolute advantage in the field of personal computer market, and IBM itself has a great influence and has the ability to suppress Wujiang Group in the PC industry.

However, to a certain extent, IBM may be afraid of the Borderless Group, so it does not want the Borderless Group to launch its own brand of personal computers.

"Boss, what should I do? IBM asked us to get back to them as soon as possible! Liu Yinyin asked.

Zhao Ye was speechless, no matter how awesome you IBM is, can you still take care of my Wujiang Group's affairs? I also advise Wujiang Group to give up its self-developed computer brand, don't be obsessed, I'm sorry! How could the "China Computer", which took several years to build by Wujiang Group, not be listed because of a few words from IBM?

IBM thinks too highly of itself!

It seems that Wujiang Group can no longer cooperate with IBM.

"Boss, IBM received the news so quickly, I suspect that most of this news came from Apple, and it may even be that Apple deliberately revealed it, the purpose of which is to let IBM and other companies attract attention to us, so that the Wujiang Group can withstand the fire of the other party!" Liu Yinyin analyzed, paused, and said angrily, "It is also said that it is a strategic partner, and it turns out that the strategic partner is the ...... who stabbed the knife."

Zhao Ye nodded, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it's not important, Apple will also be our competitor, after the release of our "Shenzhou Computer", we will fight together with Apple Computer and IBM-PC!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Ye said contemptuously, "Liu Yinyin, you go and reply to IBM now, just say that IBM is not qualified to intervene in any affairs of Wujiang Group!! ”

"Yes, boss!!" Seeing this, Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned, she rarely saw the boss so domineering, usually, they are gentle and elegant, if you want to describe it in verse, it is "Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world", but I didn't expect the boss to have a domineering side.

……

IBM.

Executive meetings.

"The confidentiality work of the Wujiang Group is really good, no one expected that they would secretly develop personal computers."

"Wujiang Group has always been a wolf's ambition, but its strength is very strong, and we must pay attention to it!"

"If nothing else, the Borderless Group will soon refuse our request. IBM-PC's distributors in China need to be re-selected. ”

"Choose Lenovo Technology Company, in the past two years, Lenovo Technology's PC agency industry has done well."

Due to the relatively high popularity of Lenovo Hanka, since last year, the computing institute company has changed its name to Lenovo Technology Company.

However, although Lenovo Technology Company carries the word "technology", it has no core technology at all, and IBM hopes to cooperate with such a company without worrying about the situation like Wujiang Group.

"I have met the general manager of Lenovo Technology Company, his name is Liu Chuanzhi, he is a humble and polite person, he has a very good attitude in front of me, he is very discerning, and he has always wanted to cooperate with our IBM. One time I was drinking at a party, and he saw that my glass was empty, so he stood next to me and poured me wine from time to time, at first I thought he was a waiter, hahaha......"

"Then choose Lenovo Technology Company to cooperate, we like the humble Chinese."

Just as everyone was chatting.

Mark Jonathan, assistant to the president, walked into the conference room.

He looked at everyone and said, "I just received a phone call, and Wujiang Group officially rejected our request, and Zhao Ye also said that IBM is not qualified to intervene in any affairs of Wujiang Group!" ”

"Damn, Wujiang Group is acting as an agent for our company IBM-PC, why are we not qualified to ask, Zhao Ye is really an arrogant guy, he dares to offend IBM, there will be no good results!!"

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing, get ready, we have a war to fight!" IBM President Tim John Watson said in a deep voice.

The Borderless Group is extraordinary, and this is a formidable opponent.

However, IBM is not afraid, in the PC field, they IBM is the boss, and no one will be their opponent.

Wang An Computer Company is not good, and Wujiang Group is even worse!

"It is announced that IBM has officially terminated the contract with Wujiang Group, and Wujiang Group will no longer be the agent of IBM-PC in China!" Tim John Watson looked at the assistant and said loudly.

"Okay, President!"

On the same day, IBM had a conflict with Wujiang Group, and the news of the termination of the contract caused a sensation in the industry and sparked heated discussions.

Liu Chuanzhi never thought that the sky would really fall into the pie, IBM had just terminated the contract with Wujiang Group, and he was going to cooperate with Lenovo Technology Company.

What else is this saying? Of course, I gladly agreed!

Liu Chuanzhi is not happy, IBM-PC is the most popular in China, the most well-known, many government officials specify IBM-PC, other computers do not want.

"Haha, 'the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade', Wujiang Group acted as an agent for IBM-PC, making IBM-PC's reputation in China far exceed that of other PC brands, which is really refreshing!" Yanagawa shouted excitedly in his heart.

He hadn't been so happy for a long time, and every time he thought of Zhao Ye before, he felt all kinds of uncomfortable. It's comfortable now.

Of course, Yanagawa is also curious about how IBM could terminate the contract with Wujiang Group for no reason? He inquired with IBM, only to find out that it was Wujiang Group that wanted to make its own computer brand, thus offending IBM.

"There is a difference between the products developed by ourselves and the products of others, and Wujiang Group will definitely treat them differently, and it is no wonder that IBM will terminate the contract with Wujiang Group!" Liu Chuanzhi laughed.

……

……

Not long after, the news that Wujiang was going to develop a PC spread.

Following IBM, several computer brands such as HP and Compaq have also announced the termination of their contracts with Wujiang Group.

At noon, in Shanghai, Secretary Liu Hai came to visit Zhao Ye with his secretary.

However, the scene in front of him made Secretary Liu's face full of astonishment, such a big thing happened, his eyebrows were about to burn, Zhao Ye was still drinking tea leisurely, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"Zhao Ye, IBM, HP, Compaq and other PC manufacturers have terminated their contracts with Wujiang Group, you are not in a hurry at all!" Secretary Liu walked up to Zhao Ye and asked.

"Hello Secretary Liu, it's useless for me to be in a hurry about this. If Wujiang Group wants to enter the PC market, it will inevitably squeeze the market share of other PC brands. They are going to jointly suppress me, but Secretary Liu, please rest assured. They can't see enough! ”

Zhao Ye took a sip of tea slowly at this time, and said lightly: "If you use Huang Chao's poem to describe it, it is 'I kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom'!! ”
