Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

If in 2019 in the future, we caught someone and asked: Brother, does your computer have a network card? I guess that person would give the person who asked this question a blind eye. Because in that era, too many people's computers had integrated network cards.

But this was only 2002. Although chip manufacturers were already integrating network cards into motherboards, looking at the future from the past, no one knew what the future development trend of this product would be.

Therefore, Ning Zimo can understand why such a group of people who can turn themselves into scum with their skills are confused.

But it's still the same, I can't tell them...

Hey, you can be praised for being a little more far-sighted than others.

However, if you go too far beyond an era, you will only be considered a lunatic.

Ning Zimo didn't want to be a madman, so he had to think of a way to explain this problem.

After thinking about it, Ning Zimo decided to attack the father whom he was most familiar with.

My dear, it’s easier to start.

Ning Zimo got straight to the point, "Dad, I would like to ask which chip factories are integrating network card chips on motherboards nowadays?"

This was the first time that Ning Guoping and his son had an intersection at work, and it still took some time for Ning Guoping to change his role.

But he is a professional after all, so he quickly replied, "realtek, atheros, broadcast, jmircon, killer, and intel are being made by several major manufacturers, and they have been put on the market one after another."

Ning Zimo is very familiar with the two major chip suppliers, Realtek and Intel. After all, in his previous life, he was a technical man who had to install computers by himself. If I remember correctly, the network card market eventually became Intel.

The scene where Yu, Intel and Killer divide the world.

Now that he found the source, Ning Zimo quickly put the information together, "Dad, Realtek and Intel are both upstream manufacturers of chip supplies, and these manufacturers have the habit of integrating.

With the development trend of PCs in recent years, motherboards will become more and more integrated. If graphics cards may still be relatively retained and popular, then the two accessories of sound cards and network cards will become integrated in the future.

"

In 2000, onboard plug-ins for home computers were still independent graphics cards, sound cards, and network cards. However, with the development of hardware, the demand for home PCs has become more and more obvious. Except for a few enthusiasts who have extreme requirements for network and sound

In addition, public demand has gradually shrunk from the original three items.

As the future develops and chip integrated packaging technology becomes more powerful, not many people will have seen independent network cards and sound cards. Of course, when the live broadcast industry develops in the future, sound cards will be popular for a while, but at that time it was still

Only a very small number of people need these things.

Looking into his father's eyes, Ning Zimo smiled and moved his palms in the direction of everyone in the engineering department, "I believe that my dad and the engineers here are aware of this trend."

Ning Zi silently handed over the pillow, and Ning Guoping naturally followed him happily, "Yes, starting from this year, more and more motherboards have gradually become integrated. In the future, fewer and fewer people will use independent network cards."

Ning Zimo nodded, and when his father wanted to say something, he took the lead and said, "Dad, I know that wireless router equipment still has certain technical difficulties at this time. However, Pulian Technology is already working in this direction.

The fact that they have put more effort into this product shows that they value this product very much.”

"Besides..."

Ning Zimo took out his mobile phone from his bag and quickly suppressed his words. After all, he was just a rookie who knew the trends in hardware, and there was no way for people to go deeper by saying that Pulian Technology invested its energy.

When he took out the hiptop from his trouser bag and placed it on the table to attract the attention of everyone present, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just the motorcycle v70 that was lost. If it was a hiptop that was lost, it would be difficult for him to explain it to others even if he had seen this product.

After taking a breath, Ning Zimo's thoughts became clearer. He said, "This product is a pda product launched by the American company Danger. Speaking of it, it functions like a WeChat computer. Because Americans are accustomed to

Use email to handle transactions, so it can replace the role of computers in places where there are no computers but there are data signals..."

Ning Zimo even went to the engineering team and gave them a simple demonstration of the product.

The hiptop that Ning Zimo has is the name of the first-generation sidekick product that Andy gave him. Originally, this mobile phone would not be launched until October this year. However, the engineering prototype given to Ning Zimo was specially prepared by Andy in advance.

gift to him.

Thanks to this gift, otherwise Ning Zimo would not be able to think of a better reason to discuss this topic. As for bringing up the banner of "American Country", it is really helpless. After all, people in this era are ahead of others.

Theory still exists.

Hiptop’s display is somewhat convincing. But in Ning Zimo’s view, this entry point is not enough to completely unify the engineers’ thinking.

Ning Zimo continued, "Since there is currently no open data service in China, there are some Internet functions that I cannot show you. But even so, Danger plans to consider integrating wireless networks in their new products to be launched next year. Let this

This pda product can provide more efficient network access efficiency where there is a wireless network."

The time of rebirth is a little late, otherwise Ning Zimo would have concentrated his firepower in advance to win over the Australian treasure of WiFi and sit on the patent revenue of billions a year.

Putting this fleeting thought behind him, Ning Zimo turned to his aunt Ning Yaping and asked, "Auntie, did you notice the wireless WECA concept product at the US CES exhibition this year?"

The Wi-Fi Alliance was established in 1999, and its name at that time was the Wireless Ether Patibility Alliance (weca). Ning Zimo remembers this history, and it seems that it was officially changed to Wi-Fi in October 2002 this year.

alliance.

Although the name change of Wi-Fi happened in October, people from the Wi-Fi Alliance have been using Weca to promote the concept of unlimited products. For the upstream market, it is their usual method to lay out concept products in advance.

Ning Zimo heard her aunt mention yesterday that they had been to the CES exhibition in the United States, but she didn't know if their team had seen the letters "weca". But she had done so many things, and it was hard for her aunt to unpack it.

Your own bar.

Ning Zimo hoped that the "great" image he had just established in his aunt would make her respond.

"Weca has indeed seen it. Han Yu from our business department also specifically explained to me that the full name is wireless ether patibility alliance. The products they produce do use unlimited connection to the network. At that time, Han Yu found it very convenient and went

Got it."

Aunt Ning Yaping's answer made Ning Zi breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was letting his blind cat encounter a dead mouse, but in short, the result was in the direction he expected.

Ning Zimo didn't pause for too long and continued to beat the drum, "Alison, Motorola, and Nokia that use the Symbian system will gradually launch mobile phone products with wireless networks in the next few years.

In other words, end users have tacitly acknowledged that this is an established future market. And the most important thing is that laptops have become thinner and thinner in recent years, and mobile offices are also developing towards wireless. Whether it is a USB wireless network card or a wireless router

, will quickly form a mature market in the next few years."

Ning Zimo looked at his enlightened father, smiled and asked, "Dad, it is inevitable to encounter problems when tackling key problems. Since OMI has already laid out a plan for this product, then the problem before us is actually

That’s it.

Is it a choice between returning to the network card products that are about to be phased out or following the footsteps of Omi on wireless devices?"

Ning Guoping listened to his son Ning Zimo's words and watched him put his hands on the table and lean out his upper body to look towards him.

This is not the first time he has seen his son work, but it is indeed the first time he has seen his son negotiate and persuade, but he is the person on the other side of the negotiating table.

Ning Guoping was in a daze, but when he turned around, he found that several young people in the team around him had a certain color shining in their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Ning Guoping suddenly laughed.

Isn't the answer to this question obvious?

***+***

Following Wang Ziqi all the time, watching her pick up a lot of things, Luffy felt like he was hungry. He could only push it aside helplessly and rest for a while.

It took one morning for Luffy to realize that the pace of entering society was actually no easier than that of school, and it was even faster than that of school.

In school, there are only two classes in the morning, and only two teachers need to be connected at most, and the content of the study is more simple. But in a few hours in the morning, Luffy has already met his best friend Wang Ziqi, who can't communicate with each other.

10 people.

From product information, prices to supply methods and production capacity, as well as the details of the production process and various other things. These things that I didn't understand originally, I have already lost some of them in the continuous bombardment of information, and Wang Ziqi will

That information was partially recorded in a notebook she carried with her.

A dazzling half-book!

Just one morning!

Secretly comparing in his mind, Luffy felt that he was too weak before, and it looked like he would have to work harder than before when he went back to school tomorrow.

Suddenly, the shadow of Xiao Ning Zimo appeared in Luffy's mind.

It seemed that, unknowingly, he had been dragged down a long way by him.

I don’t know if I can catch up with him after leaving society.

But Luffy has already understood a truth after half a day,

No success does not require hard work.

And the road ahead of him is still long.

"If the mouse and keyboard are just functional products, then the added value will not be too high. But if we follow the set of things I just said, we can play with concepts and build brands. By using and experiencing such a mysterious thing, we

The added value of the mouse and keyboard can be increased.”

Ning Zimo smiled, pointed at the ordinary brand of mouse and keyboard on the table and said, "Foreigners are also human beings, but they are always further ahead than us. We don't need to let them all run ahead, so next time I go to the United States

At that time, by the way, we acquired the brand Laser Snake, and we also developed a high-end brand."

"Okay, okay, let's eat, don't talk anymore." Ning Liping saw the right moment and hurriedly stopped her nephew from speaking.

After close contact with her nephew Ning Zimo, Ning Liping increasingly felt the feeling of digging a gold mine from her nephew. It seemed that everything in his hands had a long-term development space. He could always focus on different things.

, turning something from stone into gold.

But his behavior changed as soon as he got busy, so that the group of them followed him and chatted all morning, and they still hadn't eaten at two o'clock.

Ning Zimo couldn't say anything, so he could only shrug, "Okay, let's break up for a while and eat. We'll talk about the rest in the afternoon. I'll make a phone call first."

While talking, Ning Zimo ignored it and hid while making a phone call. Looking at his son's investment, Ning Guoping could only shake his head helplessly, "Forget it, let him call first. I'll get him some food later."

come over."

Ning Liping smiled dumbly and could only nod helplessly.

For a moment, Ning Zimo was the only one left in the conference room.

The call went through, and there was a familiar voice on the other end, but surprisingly it was not Xi Mengyun herself.

"Hello……"

"...Linlin...sister?"

"Zimo?~~You're back~~~Don't call me sister!!!"

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became excited, and then became a little angry.

For a moment, Ning Zimo could see the slight wrinkle on her nose.

Her breath came through the receiver, and it seemed to be next to her ears from a distance.

I don’t know why,

He suddenly felt like she was beside him,

Tiptoe gently,

Kissed the scar at the corner of his eye...
