Chapter 170 Behind the popularity
Wang Anran knew Lao Qiu's ability. But he still wanted to remind him.
"Mr. Qiu, the homogeneity of office software is very serious. If you want to stand out in the competition, you still need to continue to innovate."
When WPS was born, it also borrowed some settings of word documents. One advantage is that there is no obstacle for users to switch back and forth between wps and office software.
But it also loses the highlight of personalization.
The powerful functional ability of exel, the word is just to deal with, etc., are created first by others, and then learn from WPS, which gives people the feeling of plagiarism, but in fact it also has such a little taste.
"Anran, you don't have to worry about this. Kingsoft has always attached great importance to how to innovate, and we have enough financial resources to support R&D."
Qiu Baijun said this, but Wang Anran couldn't say anything else. After thinking about it, Wang Anran still mentioned it.
"I think Kingsoft Technology can consider acquiring some foreign professional office software."
"Let's talk about it, An Ran, I have this idea, but it's more difficult to operate..."
Wang Anran nodded. A technical control approval blocked the internationalization process of many Chinese enterprises.
Even after 2000s, some Chinese companies acquired foreign companies and wanted to enter their professional technical database, but they still needed approval.
Only by reaching the level of others in technology can one be qualified to enter. This is a very realistic problem.
In Wang Anran's plan, he also wanted to acquire several foreign chip companies. The first one was naturally Amd, but this difficulty is basically impossible now.
However, there is still hope for acquiring yrix. After entering the Pentium era, yrix is worse than the previous generation, and eventually became a PU design company, relying on chip foundry to make a living.
After persisting for several years, the huge losses still had to be acquired by VIA.
Huaxin Technology can completely intercept the truth.
Moreover, Wang Anran details that ASON PU can prove that Huaxin Technology has technical strength that is not weaker than Intel.
This is important in the acquisition and will determine whether the approval process can be achieved.
To this end, Wang Anran also needs an international broker.
Goldman Sachs can definitely play this role.
So this line must not be broken.
On the other hand, Goldman Sachs is very keen on watching the fire from the other side of the river. The result they most want is that Huaxin Technology failed in the PU project, and then it will facilitate them to invest in low prices.
If possible, it would be even better to be able to hold Huaxin Technology.
This is a welcome thing for Goldman Sachs and the consortium behind it.
Intel has sharpened its knives, and they are buying the instruction set. In fact, Intel has found that the instruction shift, read registers, etc. of the engineering sample are highly similar to Intel's patents through testing.
Although it is not certain that it is an infringement, sometimes the truth is not very important. What is important is that everyone believes it, it is true.
Intel has waited for the opportunity...
On Christmas Eve in 1995, Huaxin Technology officially released the Athlon PU.
In the Yanjing Workers Stadium, the cold weather cannot stop the enthusiastic melon-eating crowd.
Wang Anran personally took the stage and introduced to everyone the first central processor of Huaxin Technology on the stage.
When performance parameters appear on the large screen, they attract waves of cheers.
In the corner of the backcourt, Powell looked dark.
"Huaxin Technology is playing the same trick again. This PU supports the Hongmeng SSP system and also supports the Microsoft Windows 95 operating system. In the Windows 95 environment, the performance of the PU has dropped sharply, which is only 80% of the Hongmeng SSP system."
Wang Anran promised that this time it was really not intentional. Supporting Microsoft's Windows 95 was originally achieved through instruction mapping, and the performance loss was normal.
However, with the improvement of process and the increase in transistor density, there are also many improvements in the mapping table.
Huaxin Technology showed in simulation tests that if it enters the 0.18 micron manufacturing process and the complete mapping functional area, the performance loss will be controlled within 3% in the Microsoft environment.
After all, Athlon PU faces the international market. If it does not support Windows 95, there is no doubt that Athlon PU will lose this part of the market.
Fellow, who was far away on the other side of the earth, was watching the live broadcast of the TV with a gaze.
It was American time at 2 a.m.
The test data is similar to the engineering sample, Fellow is not interested. What he is interested in is that Huaxin Technology's PU has finally been released.
"Intel is the world's industry leader, and it absolutely cannot stand the provocation of a Chinese company."
Ferriro decided to snipe the Athlon pu in order to give Intel enough time. He believes that when his next generation of his pu is released, all the advantages of Athlon will be gone.
Fellow picked up the phone and dialed a number. Soon, the sound rang out of the phone.
"Oh! What are you doing, Fellow, do you know how much it cost to fall asleep?"
"Sorry, Dax, I just have something to share with you."
"Okay, if you have any opinions, I can say it tomorrow, that's it."
Filiro said hurriedly: "Dax, Huaxin Technology's PU has been released. What I want to ask is, has the PU ordered by Compaq arrived?"
Dax said: "Ten thousand pieces have been received, and the subsequent goods will arrive within 15 days. Fellow, the purchase of Huaxin Technology ASLO PU was decided by the board of directors. I know you must have ideas, but..."
"No!" Filiro interrupted Dax and said, "You may have misunderstood, Mr. Dax, what I want to ask is whether Compaq is possible to accelerate the purchase of Speed Dragon Pu."
"Uh!" Dax frowned and said, "Fellow, I didn't understand. Are you asking Compaq to launch more Athron PUs? Is Intel going to terminate the supply of PUs to Compaq? Oh, God, can I think this is a threat?"
Fellow's mouth was dry and hurriedly said to the microphone: "Dax, I think you misunderstood. Intel definitely attaches importance to the partnership with Compaq. In fact, what I want to say, Compaq can regard this purchase as an investment. I think you will soon generate huge profits..."
“…”
Compaq, dell,ibm...
Intel has enough resources in its hands. Many manufacturers are involved in Intel's tyranny, and have not established enough trust in a Chinese company, which makes them choose to wait and see instead of immediately throwing themselves into the arms of Huaxin Technology.
Now Intel has spoken, what are you waiting for? I will buy a batch and try it out...
…………
Wang Anran did not expect that after the release of the ASON PU, Huaxin Technology's PU order had been scheduled for three months in just a few dozen days.
"Mr. Wang, our PU shipments have exceeded one million pieces, which has exceeded our expected output of OEM."
Wang Anran nodded. Huaxin Technology signed a floating contract with TSMC, Samsung and Toshiba. It only needs to send the order to them.
If necessary, they can be asked to formulate a new production schedule. What Huaxin Technology needs to do is to increase the cost of several sets of mask versions.
Huaxin Technology's ASON PU is sought after by the market. This was originally a good thing for Wang Anran, but everyone suddenly flocked to it from waiting and watching to now, which made the whole thing reveal a hint of weirdness.
Something must be wrong?
You should know that when Amd was proud of his previous life, he was still defeated by the whole machine manufacturer.
Compared with the Amd at that time, its own Huaxin Technology was far behind. After all, Amd had a reputation for decades at that time.
Wang Anran thought for a while and said to Zhang Lei: "Xiaolei, call Director Mo Shaohua and ask him to come to my office."
Ten minutes later, Mo Shaohua came to Wang Anran's office.
"Shaohua, this is the order list of Huaxin Technology's ASON PU. What do you think?"
Mo Shaohua picked up the list, looked at it, and said, "Mr. Wang, this shows that Huaxin Technology's cost-effective strategy has been proven to be completely feasible."
The highest frequency of Athlon PU, the Athlon 133 processor, is only priced at US$139, equivalent to over 1,000 yuan, while the Pentium 166 processor, which is benchmarking performance, is priced at US$229, which is almost close to RMB 2,000.
Coupled with the advantages of ddr memory, Mo Shaohua is sure that if he was the head of these companies, he would also choose to embrace Huaxin Technology.
Wang Anran refused to comment. He saw the newspaper on the table, and the huge pages were printed with the introduction of Huaxin Sulong Pu, which was also widely praised in domestic and foreign media.
