Chapter 774 Wang An and his computer company

On December 31, this day was the last day of 1971.

Wang An ended today's work, and then drank a sip of tea, and sat on the sofa to keep his eyes closed.

In 1920, Wang An was born in Shanghai. At the age of sixteen, he was admitted to the National Transportation University with the first place at the age of sixteen, and stayed in school to teach after graduation. Now he can find his photos at that time.

In 1945 after the end of World War II, Wang An went to Harvard University to study. In 1948, he obtained a doctorate degree in applied physics. At that time, his interest and talent for electronic computers began to highlight.

After obtaining a doctorate degree, Wang An did not leave. He stayed in Harvard and designed and manufactured the "Harvard Mark 4" computer with Harvard Aiken -Aiken's first all -electrical computer. This computer and other other time

Like a similar machine, using a magnetic drum as an external memory, but the choice of the main memory is taken care of. The mercury delay line speed is slow, and the Williams tube has not been put into use. Wang An intends to take a different approach and start with magnetic storage.

The magnetic core memory was invented.

In 1951, Wang An left Harvard University and founded the technology of Wang An Lab (www.jtxsk.com.

The reason is simple.

Just like Catherine Tucker's Watson, this technology originally did not intend to sell, but because of the persecution of IBM, the other party finally used his own power to force the other party, so that Wang An had to sell such technologies to selling such technologies

out.

——In 1955, Wang An sold the patent of the magnetic core to IBM, priced at $ 500,000.

But that is, this 500,000 US dollars, helping Wang An to fly to the sky. He invested $ 500,000 to his Wang An laboratory and renamed Wang An Company. Ten years later, the annual sales of this company's annual sales

More than one million dollars. Wang An Company started slowly.

The principle of the magnetic core is not complicated: the current will generate a magnetic field around the wire, which can be used to give the magnetic ring in different magnetic field directions. Three wires pass through a sesame -size magnetic ring, address with two wires, and third.

The root guide line is used to read and write data, and 1 digit storage can be achieved. If you want to store a byte, 8 magnetic rings are required, and if you want to reach 1k of storage, 8,192 magnetic rings are required to achieve.

Although the manufacturing process is complicated, at the time, the magnetic core was indeed the best storage equipment.

Moreover, this can be said to be the predecessor of enlightenment hard disk technology.

Although the stock price of Wang An Computer Company is very high, the company's profit is also very good, but Wang An always has a feeling of anxiety.

Because he always felt that his current achievements were obtained because of his "fence", Wang An wanted to develop his own perfect computer in his heart.

——Flynn, as a person with a rational person, he knows that his thoughts are impossible.

Even when Motorola came to him to deal with Catherine's Intel, Wang An chose to refuse.

As a Chinese who came from the chaos of the Republic of China, Wang An's mind is more delicate than these Europeans and Americans. Although it is a bit bad, it is even better to calculate others.

People with delicate minds always think more. Wang An was thinking about why Motorola and the others were looking for him. Although everyone seems to have the same hatred and hatred now, but even after bringing down Intel, Wang An's computer company

It is also difficult to get a share of the pie. At most, you only get some water to wash the pot.

What's more, Wang An didn't think that the other party could compete with Intel at all. Intel and Ark Group, which owned a large number of patents and a large number of talents, were like the sun at 1 o'clock, heading towards the top of the sky, unstoppable.

, terrifying.

Dark clouds can block the sun, but dark clouds cannot stop the sun from climbing to the top, because the two are not on the same level at all.

Catherine is already at the peak of its power in the market. Unless Motorola has to show its desperate momentum, it may overwhelm the opponent, but Motorola cannot make that determination after all.

Compared with Motorola, Wang An is not qualified to compete with Intel. Both Intel and Apple have united a large number of third parties to fight against Catherine, that is, to fight against the entire market.

Come and fight.

In Wang An's view, the best way to overthrow the opponent is to first offer a big price to win over all the party members surrounding the Ark Group, and then use more cost-effective products to overwhelm the opponent.

Motorola has the ability to do this, but after all, they are a conservative company, not a pioneering company. They must also consider a very important issue, which is their current industry, and they cannot risk it all.

At this time, Wang An thought of his son again - this son who was born only two years later than Catherine.

Wang Lie.

But thinking of his son, Wang An couldn't help but sigh.

As the saying goes, if you compare yourself with others, you will die, but if you compare goods, you will throw them away.

Wang An has always felt that his son is very outstanding, the so-called "tiger father has no dog son".

But as Catherine gradually became successful, Wang An began to compare her with his own son.

——Of course, there is no comparison at all.

Of course Wang An was very disappointed in the end, and as a result, he had stricter requirements on his son. However, he never expected that his son would become rebellious because of this, and now he would stop talking about himself.

It seems... everything started when Texas Instruments and Fairchild fought over integrated circuit patents...

The initial debate made Wang An, a colleague, pay attention to the gadget called "integrated circuit".

But Wang An did not realize the benefits that integrated circuits can bring.

The integrated circuits that first appeared were ridiculous, and quite ridiculous.

——The earliest integrated circuits just combined three electronic components onto a small silicon chip, which could be completed by hand. Texas Instruments and Fairchild argued about this technology for a while, and when they discovered that this technology has already

After being registered by someone—that is, Catherine—and the other party licensed it to them for free, these people no longer paid attention to integrated circuits.

They simply don't realize what a magical thing integrated circuits are.

Wang An didn't realize it either.

But then, Catherine Edson, a girl who looked very beautiful, very elegant, and very oriental in Wang An's eyes, slapped these technicians hard in the face.

Integrated circuits are not only useful, but also have great uses.

The earliest microcomputers were ridiculous gadgets. Such devices could only simply process some documents, and the size of these documents could not exceed 4kb - because low-end models only had a few kb of magnetic core memory -

-Generally speaking, this can only print an A4 size paper.

This was the earliest Microsoft computer.

But Catherine additionally used data tapes as a storage mechanism, which expanded the capacity at once, and with the development of memory, memory was no longer taken seriously.

But personal computers with such convenient word processing became popular.

Wang An was inspired instantly, and he immediately prepared to develop his own word processing system-wps.

Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is indeed the name.

It's just that Wang An once again miscalculated the situation.

The launch of the Microsoft II computer was almost a crushing success.

When Wang An's product was put into the market, it was like a pebble being thrown into the sea, with no reaction at all.

This incident also caused Wang An's stock price to suffer a significant setback.

Dogs jump over the wall when they are anxious, and rabbits bite when they are anxious. At that time, Wang An was so anxious that the company's stock price plummeted, causing Wang An's assets to shrink instantly. At this time, Wang An noticed that there seemed to be no one in the market except Apple.

The company no longer has assembly machines.

In the entire market, in addition to various accessories vendors, only Apple sells complete machines. Many times, if people want to buy a computer that suits them, they can only buy spare parts in the market, and then

It is very inconvenient to go back and assemble it.

Although the Orange Company also has such a business, but unlike Apple, which focuses on "fashion" and sells to the public, Olson of the Orange Company pays more attention to the upper class. He has deviated from Catherine's initial plan and will

The entire Orange Company's business is positioned for game developers, software developers and the server market, so it is often difficult and expensive to buy Orange Company's products in the market.

So, can I do this market myself?

To be honest, Wang An is very interested in computers. Although microcomputers were not developed by himself, Wang An is also very interested in this kind of thing.

After conducting some market research, Wang An sorted out more than 20 different solutions overnight based on the market conditions, ranging from commercial to home, depending on the system, motherboard, and CPU.

Unlike other spare parts, this leads to market division.

This strategy really works.

Wang An Computer Company has assembled many complete machines with warranty, which is much better than buying them in pieces on the market. People don’t have to go to the market to buy scattered parts. They can just buy Wang An’s complete machines directly.

Well, there are many types of machines to choose from; because if there is a problem with a certain part of the machine, there is no need to repeatedly check and then remove the parts and take them for repair. You only need to move the host to Wang An Computer Company.

Repair shop, they will troubleshoot and repair the machine.

The concept of brand machine was born.

And Wang An's computer company also flew again ...

Thinking back to now.

At this time, snowflakes floated in the sky.

"It's another year ..."

He looked out the window.

Although for a Chinese, the Spring Festival means the end of the year, but for a businessman, the time of the Gregorian calendar is the most sensitive.

Where will your company go in the end?

Wang An is thinking, but he dare not continue thinking ...

Nympho

The first more today!

There are two more!
