The 423rd chapter generation legend Wang An (3)
The two of them chatted and laughed happily and finalized the general framework of the matter.
Zhang Xingming invested in a computer research institute in Hong Kong, known as the Hong Kong Lenovo Electronic Equipment Research Institute. The person in charge is Liu Jiafu, who enjoys 53% of the equity.
The total investment of this research institute has not been determined, the research direction has not been determined, and even the team composition has not been determined, so the matter has been finished.
Zhang Xingming took a small thing out of his pocket and threw it to Godfather Liu. Godfather Liu took it over and looked at it for a long time, weighed it again, and looked up and asked, "What is this?"
Zhang Xingming looked at the thing held in the hand of Godfather Liu and said, "U disk, mobile memory, used on the computer."
Jiaofu Liu raised the U disk in his hand and looked through it carefully for a long time, saying, "This little thing is very exquisite. How many things can it store? How to read it? Is this a reading interface? Now foreign countries have used such an interface?"
You should know that until 2004, the 3.5 floppy disk invented by Japan was still using the 3.5 floppy disk invented by Japan. A 3.5 floppy disk can only store 1.44m information, and the failure rate is particularly high. If you don’t back up a file, you are just kidding me. But despite this, this floppy disk is still popular all over the world, defeating ibm and becoming the overlord for a while, and for more than ten years, the storage market in the world of Aoxiao World has been.
Since its invention in 1980, it has occupied the market of ibm bit by bit, and finally defeated ibm in 1987. Its sign is that ibm's latest PC replaced its own company's 5.5 with Japanese 3.5. Until the U disk appeared in 2004, 3.5 has been in a monopoly position without rivals.
You should know that before the 1990s, ibm was a giant in the computer industry, and it was the only one. It was arrogant around the world. All other computer companies' businesses combined did not account for a quarter of ibm.
Apple went public in 1980, and Lao Qiao became a billionaire, but he could not become a rival to ibm. He could only grab the market in his personal PC business. Microsoft is even a younger generation. It was not until 1995 that he became straight. Moreover, Microsoft's growth history was completely dependent on ibm. At most, he was a younger brother and was strong.
This is the world computer history we are familiar with.
But what most people don’t know is that ibm has an opponent and once forced ibm to give up its original strategy to avoid the limelight. Microsoft’s richest man’s family has said more than once: If he can complete the second turn, there will be no Microsoft in the world. I may be a lawyer or university professor now.
This person who was hard-core ibm in the United States and was respected by the lid, was named Wang An. He was a pure Chinese, a man who changed the history of the world's computers entirely by his own efforts. He discovered and invented the magnetic core storage technology alone, which promoted the development of the entire computer technology.
It was 1948, when Wang An was 27 years old, and discovered and invented magnetic core storage technology, solving this problem that had never been overcome since computer technology. It only took him three weeks.
In 1951, Wang An founded his own company. By 10 years in 1961, his laboratory had brought out inventions and creations one after another, including paper hole recorders, automatic typewriters, radio typing printers, record tape identification machines, etc. These unfamiliar words changed many industries, such as, in sports events, electronic scoreboards were able to replace paper scoreboards.
In 1964, Wang An launched the "LuoSai" desktop computer, which is the world's first desktop computer and the originator of modern personal computers. It changed the history of computers that can only be silly, big, black and thick, and cannot be moved.
In 1971, Wang An launched the newer "1200 desktop computer". In 1976, based on 1200, Wang An launched "bsp; �
In 1986, he had personal assets of $2 billion, becoming the richest Chinese in the world, with the fifth largest personal assets in the United States. In July, he was named one of the twelve most outstanding immigrants in the United States and was received by President Reagan.
In October 1986, Mr. Deng met him in the Great Hall of the People.
He entered the American Inventors Hall of Fame and lived in the same room with Edison. He made it to the American Rich List entirely through his personal struggle, as famous as Rockefeller.
However, because of his disapproval of personal PC business and his hatred for ibm, he chose to fight with the entire computer system and refused to be compatible with everything, which led to his ultimate failure.
The biggest reason for his failure is that he firmly believes that a tiger father has no dog son, and he goes against the public and goes to his son to the top, and as a result, he is sentenced to separation from his relatives. This is a collision between Chinese and American thinking.
At that time, the elites in the computer industry in the world were almost in the hands of Wang An. Many famous figures in later generations were just small figures in Wang An Company. The most representative person was John Chambers of Cisco. At Wang An Computer, he was just a regional leader.
In 1990, Wang An died of illness, and a legend of a generation ended. In 1992, Wang An went bankrupt in public affairs.

Zhang Xingming said: "The capacity of this memory is not large, only 4 g, and I have a larger one in my hand, so I will give it to you later."
Godfather Liu nodded, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stood up suddenly. His face instantly swollen and red. His voice increased several times and a voice changed: "More, how many?"
Zhang Xingming looked up at him, and smiled and said, "4 g, g, you heard it right."
In 1986, the hard drive of a personal computer was only 30m to 50m. If it could reach g, whether it was 1g or 2g, it would be a magic weapon and it could hardly be bought. The price was not affordable for ordinary people. A 286 computer 30m hard drive is generally priced at around 12,000 yuan, and foreign exchange rolls are used. 386 costs more than 20,000 yuan, and the hard drive is 50m, and it is all ibm horizontal machines.
Until 1990, when I bought a computer, I didn’t need foreign exchange bill, but it was not something that ordinary people could afford. What should I do if I bought it?
(This place is based on the prices of Sanhao Street in Shenyang and Benxi City at that time. I don’t know about other areas and have no information)
Godfather Liu held the U disk tightly in his hand. Because the joints changed color due to the force, he took a few deep breaths, calmed down quickly, slowly sat back on the sofa, staring at the U disk in his hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Is it sure it's 4 g? How big is there? It's okay, you say."
Zhang Xingming looked at him and scratched his head. The 4 g U disks were almost eliminated in later generations, so he didn't care. It was only then that he realized that such a small thing reached the storage capacity of 4g, what is the concept of this era?
There is no way, I always have to die more and more exciting. I bit the bullet and said, "I have 16g, 32g, 500g hard drives, and 1t physical hard drives in my hands." The more I say, the less the voice becomes.
