Chapter 291 Big Deal
After the press conference, Walter praised Microsoft for several minutes. The press conference was finally over. However, before the end of the press conference, many media reporters and computer brand company representatives, They all left early and rushed back to report to their respective newspapers and companies about the situation at the press conference.
Murakami Shoji hurriedly left in the middle of the trip and flew directly back to Japan on a special plane to report to Toshiba.
“Mr. Li, are you sure that the USB Alliance’s promotion will be accepted by global computer manufacturers?”
“Which one of you or Bill Gates will serve as the chairman of the USB Alliance? Long? ”
"Hong Kong City and overseas media claimed that the Li family will become the new richest family in mainland China. What do you think, Mr. Li?!"
As soon as the press conference ended, reporters from various media swarmed up and surrounded Li Dongling. All kinds of questions were thrown at Li Dongling.
Questions were asked about Silver Sable and Shenzhou USB flash drives, but what concerned these reporters the most was the issue of the USB Alliance and Li Dongling’s net worth.
Lu Shan is still not experienced enough, and she didn’t get a good position at all, so she couldn’t ask Li Dongling questions, but there are enough exciting news in today’s press conference, enough for her to provide a manuscript to Science and Technology Digest. , Lu Shan felt that there wasn’t much to write about in this press conference!
Moreover, unlike other media, Science and Technology Digest does not need to be so anxious to rush out manuscripts. Lu Shan feels that the manuscripts can be written in more depth. A lot can be written on the topic of mainland standards alone. Got it!
After dealing with reporters and coming out of the press conference, Li Dongling said to the executives around him, including Ren Yuefeng, Chen Tao, Zhang Ao, Duan Youli, etc. of Dongling Hi-Tech, "The advertisements for the Silver Sable optical mouse and the Shenzhou USB flash drive need to be released immediately. Start, production capacity must be increased as soon as possible, and products must be distributed as soon as possible in domestic and overseas markets!”
Ren Yuefeng and others all nodded in agreement. This press conference is just the beginning, and the next step will be in the country! Advertising and selling products is the right way. Without sales, everything is nonsense.
“If the standards of the USB Alliance can be accepted by major computer manufacturers, then the Silver Sable mouse may have a chance to get orders from major computers!”
Ren Yuefeng said, now The bulk of the mouse still depends on major computer brands. Logitech also relies on OEMs for computer brands, or directly sells them under the brands of Dell and HP.
If the Silver Sable mouse can also get orders from other computer manufacturers, it will be equivalent to opening up foreign markets. Although the first generation of Silver Sable mouse was famous, it was basically still sold in China.
"As I said before, Silver Sable needs to stabilize the domestic market and then look for opportunities to cooperate with foreign computer brands!" Li Dongling said.
......
The press conference has ended, but the waves caused by Donglin Hi-Tech's press conference have just begun to appear in the technology and media industries.
Lenovo Headquarters in Yanjing, Liu Jun, who returned to Yanjing, went straight to Boss Liu's office and reported to Boss Liu what happened at Dongling Hi-Tech's Hanxi press conference.
"The media haven't started to report on a large scale yet, but it will probably be reported soon, including the central media!" Liu Jun glanced at his watch and said to Boss Liu.
Putting aside the sound, the USB alliance makes mainland technology practitioners tremble and excited. Just talk about the Shenzhou USB flash drive. This is the first time in the entire computer industry since computers were developed in mainland China in the past 30 years. What is the significance of a product developed through independent innovation?
Even for various departments, departments and units such as the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Commission of Science and Industry, the Ministry of Electronic Industry, and the Ministry of Machinery Industry, Shenzhou U disk is the most important one in the domestic science and technology industry this year. These inventions and products also represent the contributions made by these leading departments in the domestic science and technology industry this year, which can be reported as political achievements. How can we actively cheer for Shenzhou U Disk?
Not to mention, there is still a USB Alliance. Once Tanglin Hi-Tech and Microsoft join forces to make it happen, then Donglin Hi-Tech does not have to brag on its own. The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Science and Technology Commission, the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and their subsidiaries The Science and Technology Daily and other media are all going to blow this to the sky, the first technical standard implemented by mainland China in the world!
“Is the Shenzhou USB flash drive really made by Tanglin High-tech?”
Boss Liu asked with surprise and disbelief. As a member of the mainland who advertises "domestic" computers, Lenovo is very aware of the current situation of the domestic computer industry. It is said to be domestically produced, but the operating system is purchased from Microsoft, the chips are from Intel, and most of the other components are also from Sharp, Toshiba, IBM, AST, and France Merlin. Procurement by companies such as Rilan Corporation.
The only components currently used in Lenovo computers are domestically produced and self-produced parts, which are the Lenovo Hanka and the mouse. The Hanka was developed by Ni Guangnan, and the mouse is Donglin Hi-Tech's Silver Sable...
So , suddenly heard that as the only USB flash drive developed by Mainland China in the global computer industry in the past thirty years, Boss Liu’s first reaction was that he could not believe it. This was something that Lenovo had not developed yet. Dongling Hi-Tech Did it happen?
Although Boss Liu, who has always advocated trade, industry and technology, has some disdain for independent research and development, thinking that it is simply a unnecessary move and a waste of money in the past few years, but when he heard about the Shenzhou USB disk, he still couldn't help but let him know Somewhat surprised, he knew very well that if all this was true, it would have a huge shock to the entire domestic computer industry.
U disks are different from mice. The mouse has been developed abroad for a long time. Although Silver Sable's first-generation mechanical mouse is innovative, it cannot be said to have changed the computer industry. However, the emergence of U disks has indeed changed the computer industry. There is an opportunity to change the habits of computer manufacturers and users!
Liu Jun first glanced at Boss Liu’s face, and then said cautiously, “Although the Shenzhou USB flash drive also uses Toshiba’s flash memory technology, the concept, technology, and patent of the USB flash drive are indeed Tanglin High-tech invented it and applied for patents all over the world. The USB flash drive was the first one made by Tanglin High-tech. No one can object to it! ”
Hearing this, Boss Liu’s face was filled with uncertainty. He didn’t know what he was thinking. Liu Jun bit the bullet and said, “Mr. Liu, the question now is whether Lenovo wants to make a statement and express its intention to join the USB Alliance. "Support for Shenzhou U disk?"
As soon as Liu Jun said this, Boss Liu's face immediately became so angry that he did not dare to speak anymore. Guo Wei next to him , Yang Yuanqing and other confidants of Boss Liu did not dare to make any noise and waited for Boss Liu to make a decision.
What makes Boss Liu dissatisfied is that if Lenovo joins the USB Alliance and expresses its support for Shenzhou USB flash drives, Lenovo will be inferior to Dongling Hi-Tech in the future. This is something he cannot accept. Yes, it’s just a matter of pretending to be a grandson in front of IBM, HP, Dell, Compaq and other companies. Why should you be a little brother to a domestic company? "I think we should be more cautious about this matter and let it go first..."
Before Boss Liu could say anything, Liu Jun's cell phone suddenly rang and he glanced at Boss Liu , and after Boss Liu nodded, he answered Qi's call, and then his expression suddenly changed.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Jun had a look of helplessness on his face, "Mr. Liu, the situation has changed!"
After that, Liu Jun got up and turned on the TV, tuned to the Central Media News Channel, and watched Up above, the host reported the news in a calm tone, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear a bit of excitement in it.
“According to the latest news sent back by our overseas correspondent in America, just today, the USB Global Alliance, formed by the mainland technology company Tanglin Hi-Tech, in conjunction with Microsoft, Intel and other companies, was officially announced!< br>
At present, eleven companies, including Donglin Hi-Tech, Microsoft, Intel, Apple, IBM, Compaq, Sharp, and Xerox, have successively announced to join the USB Alliance. The first USB Alliance was led by the founder and president of Microsoft. Bill Gates serves!”
Central Media News TV showed a few seconds of the establishment of the USB Alliance in America, represented by Zhou Hualiang, Tanglin Hi-Tech America branch manager. High-Tech participated.
The news on TV continues, "The USB Alliance was initiated and proposed by Hanxi Dongling Hi-Tech. It was established to solve the problem of confusing interface standards in the global computer industry.
Currently the most advanced in the world The storage device Shenzhou USB flash drive is the first product launched in accordance with the USB Alliance standards. It is also the latest technology product independently designed and invented by my country in the computer industry, and represents my country's progress in the field of science and technology.
Dongli High-tech announced that Shenzhou USB flash drives will be sold globally and will be launched in mainland China, Hong Kong, America, Germany, France and other regions!
The High-Tech Department under the National Ministry of Science and Technology issued an initiative, It is proposed that mainland technology companies actively join the USB Alliance to integrate with international standards, and it is proposed that my country’s technology companies develop into high-tech fields..."
Lenovo everyone looked at the news on the central media, and they were all a little silent, Lenovo In Yanjing, and it is still a state-owned enterprise, if you can't even understand what is on the news, then it is all in vain.
It was precisely because of their understanding that all Lenovo executives, including Boss Liu, were a little silent. When the Ministry of Science and Technology publicly announced its end, Boss Liu had just been thinking about suppressing Lenovo's joining the USB Alliance and taking it easy. Wait, maybe there will be a turn for the better, and Lenovo doesn't have to be so inferior to Donglin Hi-Tech.
But now, when the central media reports that the High-tech Department under the Ministry of Science and Technology directly went out to cheer for the USB Alliance, does Lenovo still have a choice?
"Issued a statement announcing that Lenovo has joined the USB Alliance. In addition, five thousand sets of Silver Sable optical mice and one thousand Shenzhou USB flash drives will be purchased from Dongling Hi-Tech to be sold with Lenovo computers!" Boss Liu was somewhat interested. Said faintly.
......
"Lenovo, Great Wall, Inspur, Qixi, Shida, Tongfang, Donghai, Hisense, Changhong, Konka, Haier, TCL, Guohe, Tsinghua Tongfang, Ziguang, Tongchuang More than 32 domestic computer manufacturers, including Bai'an, Muze, and Xinlan, announced their participation in the USB Alliance! ”
As soon as the central media news came out, various domestic computer manufacturers announced that they would join the USB Alliance and use the interface standards established by USB on the latest computers.
China is currently in a period of computer explosion. Since the cancellation of import computer licenses, a large number of computer manufacturers have emerged. In addition to national computer brands, there are also brands supported by various local governments. , because it makes money.
Anyway, the parts and components are all purchased from abroad. All you need to do is save up and put a brand on it. There is no need to worry about selling computers now. Every time a machine is produced and sold, it can create jobs and increase taxes. Why? Being happy but not doing it has also led to the emergence of dozens or hundreds of brands, large and small, in China in recent years.
After the news about Shenzhou U Disk and USB Alliance was reported by the central media and various domestic media, it immediately caused an uproar. Even people who are not familiar with computers gave birth to a Shenzhou U after seeing the news. The disk is very powerful. The USB Alliance is a global standard created by mainland China. All foreign companies must follow this standard!
When all kinds of overwhelming news came out, public opinion immediately exploded. Coupled with the statement of the Ministry of Science and Technology, various domestic computer brands directly announced their joining the USB Alliance, and even some computer dealers and agents Businesses have all launched the slogan of joining the USB Alliance. It seems that if they don't join, they will fall behind and fail to keep up with the technological trend.
Similarly, the scene after Silver Sable won the lawsuit against Microsoft was once again staged on this ancient land. China is now an era of lack of self-confidence and extreme need for self-confidence. Anyone who can improve the morale of domestic people and Any object will quickly rise to the level of a hero and be sought after by everyone. Now, this is the case with the Shenzhou USB flash drive and the Silver Sable mouse. People express their support for such things very simply and directly, that is, buy, buy, buy!
At the end of the press conference and half a month after preparation, Donglin High-Tech began to take the lead in launching the Silver Sable mouse and Shenzhou USB flash drive in the domestic market.
“Due to the order demand from major computer manufacturers and dealers, domestic orders for the Silver Sable optical mouse exceeded 210,000 units in three days, and pre-sales exceeded 25 million!”
"The domestic sales of Shenzhou USB flash drives exceeded 70,000 units in three days, and pre-sales exceeded 33.6 million yuan!"
Hanxi media first reported that Shenzhou USB flash drives and Silver Sable optical mice Sales volume, you must know that this is only domestic sales, how many computer users are there now in China, and what is the domestic per capita income level? To achieve such sales volume in three days is basically equivalent to being sold out!
