Chapter 1261 "Standardization" and "Internationalization"
If you consider the motivations of Matsui and Kim Jun-il from the perspective of later generations, it is very simple, that is, to make their country's products more perfectly adaptable. "Overseas markets" and take the necessary cooperation and research.
But people today rarely have such an idea, because even though the market economy has been around for so many years, they still have little confidence in how attractive this big market is to overseas manufacturers.
Both high-level officials and lower officials have their own speculations about the purpose of Japan and South Korea insisting on participating in the project research on the China-Japan-Korea Ideographic Region. They mainly believe that the two countries are developed countries in Asia. representatives want to show their presence in large information technology projects.
In other words, they have so much "surplus financial resources" to participate in this kind of interesting research, even if such research is not of much "use" to them.
But few people think that even large companies in developed countries have to study the habits of consumers in the areas covered by their products and secretly "please" them.
If Zhou Zhi now clearly stated that McDonald's would one day launch rice porridge and fried steamed buns to cater to Chinese tastes, it is estimated that even today's Chinese themselves would sneer at it.
In the minds of Chinese people, only the Chinese look up and envy their ability to adapt to imported products, but it is hard to imagine that giants like Ricoh and Samsung would covet Hanwen's large character library in order to improve their Chinese character printing capabilities. .
However, Zhou Zhi’s understanding is very clear.
This clear understanding lies not only in the object of the other party's purpose, but also in his clear knowledge of how to use the attack rules to firmly grasp what belongs to him, and also clearly tells the other party that both parties can work together normally cooperation within the business framework.
Want something from us? Want to send someone to join our joint team? Okay, no problem.
But the joint group also has its own scope of work, and this scope is very clear. Within this scope, the joint results of several parties can of course be shared, but for things outside this scope, I am sorry. Want it? Take money or get what I want, equal exchange.
This is actually the most common way for companies to conduct international cooperation. However, in the reform, because many domestic business units are not familiar with international rules, many companies have been taken advantage of and suffered in vain. case.
However, Zhou Zhi is a person who is very familiar with international rules. Not to mention the experience brought to him by working in a central enterprise in his previous life, even in this life, AXA Fund is engaged in overseas intellectual property acquisitions and mergers, angel investments and high-tech Strategic financial investment, I have already become an expert.
Want to take advantage by sending a joint team? That's probably because you're thinking too much.
However, after the two parties got to know each other better, Matsui Zuo and Jin Chunyi did not show any thoughts in this regard. In other words, they knew that the company here was not a novice, so they put away such thoughts.
When a foreign joint working group arrives, it must first undergo half a month of "localization adaptability training." This kind of thing only happens to Chinese employees who go to work in foreign companies, but rarely happens to foreign employees. foreigners working in Chinese companies.
Therefore, the training that took place at Clover Company is very common according to international practice, but it is very rare in domestic companies.
It is precisely because of this that Matsui Zuo and Jin Chunyi felt the "standardization" and "internationalization" of Clover Company's management. They are small and small, but they cannot be treated as ordinary Caotai teams. It can't even be said that Zhou Zhi "sees through" their intentions. In fact, under normal rules and regulations, such intentions themselves are useless. Matsui Zouzhi understood this very clearly. He picked up the cup and said with a relaxed smile: "As Zhou Sang said, the market track has changed. In the future, text information processing will definitely become the mainstay of all office environments and even home environments." It is necessary for us to come here to seek cooperation, but also to better understand the working principle and interface technology of Hanwen Library, and to make our own efforts to provide better products that can serve China for our country’s peripheral manufacturers.”< br>
"In fact, we have already solved this problem when the first phase of the font was launched." Zhou Zhi said: "The solution is also very simple, that is, Hanka with flash memory."
"Hanka?" Jin Chunyi asked: "Isn't that what you configured for PC?"
Hanka is a product of today's specific environment. In fact, the earliest period of birth should be pushed back ten years. The one with the deepest technical foundation and the greatest influence in terms of sales is the Lenovo Hanka, which was officially launched in 1985.
Because the computer resources at that time were very limited, if additional systems were to be installed, whether it was storage or processing, the performance of the computer itself would be too much, so people came up with a hardware processing solution, which used the computer's Interface, insert a board responsible for special functions into it to improve the performance of the computer and enable it to complete specialized special processing tasks.
Such hardware cards are not only "Han cards" for Chinese character processing, but also include anti-virus cards, encryption cards, video decompression cards, etc. These boards are also made by Clover Company. It is also a business that mainly generates income.
What Hanka implements is the function of storing Chinese character libraries and providing high-speed Chinese character display. When users use the keyboard to input the codes of Chinese characters, the Hanka software will automatically convert them into Chinese characters or phrases, and then enter the computer for processing. Finally, including Chinese characters The results of information processing can be displayed on the monitor or printed out.
Technically speaking, this is actually a step backwards, equivalent to solidifying the functions that a software input method should implement onto a board. However, from an industrial perspective, this is a reflection of reality. a compromise.
The chip on the current most advanced Hanka is the ASIC chip designed by Lenovo in the 1990s.
However, after the launch of WIN32, Chinese characters can be processed very well on computers, and the Lenovo Chinese card market has shrunk sharply.
Zhou Zhi used AXA Fund and Clover Company to immediately take over the production line and business of Lenovo's Hanka chip. After the launch of Hanwen's large font library, he immediately produced Hanwen's Hanka, which was mainly used in domestic printing plants. Upgrading and transformation of professional systems and printing computers for magazines and newspapers.
Although the problems of ordinary PCs can be solved by installing the WINNT system and the built-in Hanwen Phase I font library, professional equipment and software still require support from Hanka.
In this part of the market, because Lenovo did not participate in the research and development of Hanwen's large font library, it did not get any dividends. It could only watch its own invention being bought by others and then loaded into Hanwen's large font library, and then it glowed with the first Hanwen font. Second spring.
“Yes, our Hanka was mainly used to serve PCs at first. But after the 286 machine entered the market, the board business mainly served the professional field.” Zhou Zhi smiled: “And as early as Before Lenovo, there was already the Jiajia Hanka invented by Zhu Bangfu, who invented the Cangjie input method, which was better than that of Ni Guang. Nan’s invention was several years earlier.”
“Jiajia Hanka couldn’t compete with Lenovo Hanka, which was equivalent to being shelved, so we Clover acquired it through technology transfer first. Then it was upgraded to sixteen bits.”
