Giant of the times

During this period, Motorola was in the limelight and was unparalleled. However, Galaxy Networks' Galaxy Router product launch conference was held at the end of July, and even the DynaTAC mobile phone could not drown out its glory! ! !

Galaxy routers are related to the future of the Internet and will also be one of the company's core products. Galaxy Networks has been preparing for this conference for a long time and attaches great importance to it.

At 8 o'clock in the evening on July 30, 1983, at the Los Angeles Sports Center, almost all the world's leading media and partners of Galaxy Networks gathered here.

The layout of the press conference was extremely solemn, grand and gorgeous.

Tian Shuai came to the center of the stage wearing a black suit.

"Hello everyone, welcome to Galaxy Networks' product launch. I am Tian Shuai, the company's CEO.

In this product launch, I will introduce to you our company's latest product - Galaxy Router in a very grand manner.

With the development of computers and networks, schools, research institutions, enterprises, etc. have established their own computer networks, but there is a problem that has always puzzled us. "

Tian Shuai glanced at it and said, "That is, communication between different networks is impossible!"

"Everyone must know about ARPANET. ARPANET has been opened to the world, and many universities and commercial departments have begun to access it. However, there are very few network nodes that can connect to ARPANET. In addition to cost reasons, Furthermore, different networks cannot communicate because of different network communication protocols.

Our company's new product Galaxy Router can solve this problem. It can form different networks into the same network and realize communication with each other! For example, there must be more than one network in a university. In the past, only a few computers could connect to ARPANET, but with the Galaxy Router, all computers in the university can connect to ARPANET! The same goes for businesses and other research institutions…”

A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.

As soon as Tian Shuai finished speaking, there was a sensation in the audience. People couldn't help talking and seemed extremely surprised.

"With the Galaxy router, you can build a huge network, and more networks can be connected to this network through the router. This will undoubtedly greatly promote the development of the network!"

"If an enterprise can establish a unified large network, it will naturally greatly improve the work efficiency of employees!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"..."

After the press conference, many companies, schools, and scientific research institutions around the world were full of interest in Galaxy routers and placed orders one after another.

The Galaxy Router soon set off a huge hurricane in the industry!

In the previous life, Cisco was unknown when it first started. Many people did not even know the existence of routers. However, Galaxy Networks was already a well-known company in the industry. Earlier, the GalaxyNet 1.0 network card was popular all over the world and almost monopolized more than 75% of the global market. , high reputation and many partners! Now that the Galaxy Router has been released, it is naturally selling like hotcakes! ! !

In fact, the sales of Galaxy routers were beyond expectations. In the first month, 18,000 units were sold, which was far better than Cisco. With the rapid development of the Internet, pages began to explode.

With the release of the Galaxy Router, the National Science Foundation (NSF) of the United States has realized the importance of the network and accelerated the establishment of the NSFnet backbone network project.

According to the news that Li Zetian inquired about, if nothing unexpected happens, the National Science Foundation NSF may officially establish the project at the end of the year and start the NSFnet project next year.

The Internet is developing faster than in previous generations.

However, there are many factors that promote the development of the Internet, not only the establishment of backbone networks, but also the promotion of application software such as web pages, WWW, e-mail, online games, and BBS. Without these, computer users would definitely not be willing to spend money to connect to the Internet, and the development of the Internet would naturally slow down.

However, Li Zetian also feels that the historical process does not need to be too fast. The hardware cannot keep up. The performance of the web server is weak, the price is high, and it does not have much commercial value. Moreover, there are not many computer users at present. Therefore, such as web pages and the WWW World Wide Web Don't rush to develop things like that.

In addition, China's economy has not yet developed. If Li Zetian made the United States too developed, he would not be able to bear it. After all, he is still a son of China, and that was his hometown. Li Zetian really couldn't bear to see the United States bullying China with arrogance!

When Li Zetian first came to the United States to study, many Americans looked down on him because he was of Chinese descent.

If you feel that the years are quiet and peaceful, there must be someone carrying the burden for you!

If China is a very powerful country, will Americans still look down on it?

Although Li Zetian now has American citizenship, he has always been labeled as "Chinese"!

Only when China becomes stronger will the status of the Chinese people in the world truly improve!

In Li Zetian's impression, in 1998, China was not strong enough, so Indonesia committed inhumane things. However, when China became strong, Indonesia restrained itself a lot.

As China's power and status increased, so did the status of Chinese people around the world.

It is legitimate and natural for Li Zetian to engage in development in mainland China in the name of commercial investment without violating U.S. laws. Moreover, almost all powerful companies will enter China to seize this huge market. No one can catch him. !

…

The market is constantly changing, and companies are ups and downs. A once powerful company can go bankrupt in a blink of an eye.

Although Wang An Computer Company has not yet gone bankrupt, it is not far away.

On August 29, 1983, Wang An came to visit Li Zetian.

Wang An has gray hair and looks very old. With the rise of personal computers, Wang An Computer Company suffered an unprecedented blow!

After the two sat down, Wang An stated the purpose of the visit straight to the point: "Mr. Li, Wang An Computer Company is preparing to enter the personal computer industry! I hope that you, who are also Chinese, can lend a helping hand!"

Li Zetian looked thoughtful and did not answer immediately.

To be honest, Li Zetian still admired Wang An, but he just had issues with his son Wang Lie. Now I can't help but feel funny when I think about the time I was competing with others in college.

Before Li Zetian spoke, Wang An continued: "Wang An Computer Company plans to develop a new type of personal computer that is incompatible with IBM-PC and completely defeat IBM. Therefore, I hope that Microsoft and Intel can break away from the IBM-PC system and Cooperate with Wang An Computer Company!"

Li Zetian frowned. How much did Wang An hate IBM? How much did he hope to defeat IBM? ! However, breaking away from the existing IBM-PC personal computer standard and turning around to develop a new personal computer standard with Wang An Computer Company, you will only agree to this request unless you have your forehead pinched.

"Dr. Wang An, I am sorry that I cannot fulfill your request. The IBM-PC standard monopolizes most of the market, how can you fight with it!"

I don’t know if Dr. Wang An is too naive or too confident. He laughed and said: "Apple is not the IBM-PC standard, isn’t it also successful? As long as Microsoft and Intel cooperate with Wang An Computer Company, It is equivalent to cutting off two arms of IBM, and we are at least 70% sure that we can defeat IBM."

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Microsoft and Intel have cooperated well with IBM, and they have monopolized the operating system and processor markets respectively. I would like to ask Dr. Wang An, what reason does Microsoft and Intel have to give up their existing markets and choose to cooperate with Wang An? How about cooperation with An Computer Company?"

"As far as I know, IBM obtains products from Microsoft and Intel at very low prices, which is equivalent to exploiting Microsoft and Intel. Mr. Li, are you willing to endure it? If you cooperate with Wang An Computer Company, I can guarantee that the price will definitely satisfy you.”

"Dr. Wang An, I'm sorry, your words can't move me at all. Please go back. In addition, I would like to advise you that conforming to the general trend is the way for a company to survive!"

A trace of sullenness flashed across Wang An's face, and he obviously didn't listen to what he said.

"In that case, let's say goodbye!" Wang An stood up and said goodbye.

Li Zetian looked at his back and couldn't help but shake his head. Wang An's pride and arrogance have not changed. Wang An Computer Company will make the same mistakes as in his previous life!
