Although this is an exaggeration, Wang An Computer is indeed the well-deserved industry leader at this time.

Yes, he is the industry hegemon. In the past few years since the 1980s, the word Wang An represented the computer industry.

Even Bill Gates, the famous founder of Microsoft in later generations, once told the media that if Wang An Computer could complete its second strategic turn, there might not be a Microsoft company in the world, and neither would Bill Gates himself.

Become a tech icon.

If Wang An's computer survives, there will be one more ordinary teacher or lawyer in the world, and his name is Bill Gates.

There are three most important reasons why Wangan Computer failed to complete its second strategic turn.

First, it was the founder Wang An's first decision-making mistake that caused Wang An Computer to fall seriously behind its old rival IBM during the first revolution.

Second, as soon as the second transformation started to show results, it was anxious to compete with IBM.

The third is to let his incompetent son take over the company by force.

Let’s not talk about the last two. Let’s talk about the first one first. Regarding personal computers, Wang An made the wrong choice from the beginning.

There is a saying on the Internet for later generations

Wang An's success started with IBM and ended with IBM.

The feud between the computer king and IBM is really hard to understand. Wang An’s first pot of gold came from IBM. This is undeniable.

In his early years, Wang An's breakthroughs in memory technology research and development enabled him to obtain a starting capital of US$500,000 from IBM.

After getting his first pot of gold, Wang An was keenly aware of the huge market for computers in the future, so he invested all his money and energy in the computer field.

From the 1960s to the 1980s, the scope of computer applications was mainly in enterprises and the military. During these two decades, neither IBM nor Wangan Computer was involved in personal computers.

In the 1980s, personal computers suddenly emerged, and how to transform became the biggest problem facing the two giant technology companies.

After IBM, which has always been conservative, suffered from the impact of personal computers, it resolutely adopted an open policy and united to win over a group of small personal computer equipment manufacturers for cooperation.

Among these small personal computer equipment manufacturers are the famous Apple and Microsoft.

Although the technical scale and business scope of small manufacturers are not large, the advantage is that the equipment is compatible and easy to use, and these small manufacturers have their own software development technology.

IBM abandoned its prejudices and actively cooperated with small manufacturers, thereby stabilizing its position in the transformation of the personal computer market.

In our words, IBM is already in an invincible position.

However, Wang An, the founder of Wang An Computer, who was also a competitor, did not agree with IBM's approach from the beginning. He believed that it was unreasonable to develop personal computers and that it would be better to develop incompatible high-priced machines alone.

choose.

Therefore, when IBM and other small manufacturers jointly developed the personal computer market, Wangan Computer chose a path that was completely opposite to the direction of future technological development.

Facts have proved that if you do not follow the trend of the times, you will be destined to be eliminated by the times. The development of personal computers is changing with each passing day. In just a few years, people have completely changed their ideas.

Due to ideological conservatism and personal judgment errors, Wangan Computer missed the best opportunity for transformation and also failed in the first transformation.

After the first transformation failed, Wang An, who had learned from his experience, voluntarily gave up the most proud achievement of his life - the "Losay" desktop computer based on transistors, and turned to small personal computers.

In view of Wangan Computer's previous influence in the computer field, although Wangan Computer's second transformation was a little late, it successfully caught the last train. After entering the personal computer industry, it quickly occupied a part of the market share.

What people didn't expect was that Wang An Computer's second transformation was successful immediately, and its founder Wang An made another incredible decision, that is, to continue fighting IBM to the end.

As a technology giant, IBM is only stronger than Wang An Computer Company in terms of strength. Its business involves all aspects, many of which are the lifeline industries of the U.S. technology economy. Its foundation is far beyond what Wang An Technology can match.

In addition, due to its timely transformation, IBM has already cooperated with many small manufacturer alliances and won the support of a large number of small manufacturers. Now Wang An Computer has just established a foothold and wants to start a war with IBM. This is undoubtedly a loss.

.

That's all. But by chance, Wang An got sick at this time, and it was a terminal illness that was fatal.

If Wang An himself is in good health and has no problems, then relying on his personal influence, Wang An Computer will continue to fight against IBM. It is difficult to say the final outcome.

Even if Wang An Computer loses, it won't lose so miserably.

However, God did not give Wang An this opportunity.

The computer king is sick and wants to promote his son Xiao Wang to power. Not to mention that Xiao Wang does not have as much influence and ability as his father. Even if Xiao Wang has outstanding abilities, facing a company that even his father cannot take advantage of,

It is strange that Xiao Wang can withstand the pressure under internal and external troubles.

Facts have also proved that Xiao Wang's performance in power was mediocre. Not only was he incapable of taking charge of such a large company, but he also accelerated the company's decline.

The second strategic transformation of Wang An Computer has a beautiful beginning, but the rest is an incomprehensible anticlimax.

On the plane, after Yang Chen read all the information about Wang An's computer, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Times can create a person's greatness

It can also make a person become extremely small.

It is said that man can conquer nature

But is God so easy to defeat?

Fortunately, Xiao Wang has not been in office for long. Although Wang An Computer is in chaos at this time, the overall situation has not collapsed, especially the loss of talent is not serious.

Frankly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Wang An's ability and vision, especially in terms of talent training and technological research and development. Even his old rival IBM has to admire him.

Nearly one-third of annual revenue is invested in talent training and technology research and development, which shows how much Wang An attaches great importance to and supports talent and technology in this area.

At this time, Wang An Computer was equivalent to a replica of Huawei. As we all know, Huawei's investment in talents and technology has always been talked about by everyone.

However, the huge investment in research and development has also seriously hindered Wangan Computer's finances. I am afraid that it was precisely for this reason that Wangan Computer declared bankruptcy in just a few years.

In Yang Chen's opinion, instead of waiting five years to take over a company that has nothing, it is better to spend more money now and acquire Wang An Computer directly.

In this way, both the market and talents can be retained.

As for the acquisition money, it is nothing compared to the market value of later Microsoft and Apple.
