Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

After a week, the affairs of Xiangjiang Heiyun Group have basically been dealt with. Regarding the battle for Taikoo & Co., Ltd. caused by the siege of reporters at the airport, the chartering king took the blame and resigned as chairman of the Jockey Club, and Heiyun Group canceled all HSBC accounts. It can be said that there is no

The winner, Bao Zixuan did not achieve the strategic goal, and the Shi Huaiya family became aggravated

With the debt reduced, HSBC lost 150,000 customers and 100 billion in deposits. If it were not for the rapid development of Heiyun Group, HSBC would not have so much cash reserves. It is now possible to come up with so much money thanks to Bao Zixuan. The only beneficiary may be

It is RB Sumitomo Bank, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future!

Bao Zixuan understands the historical trend. As China's reform and opening up deepens and accelerates, a lot of large-scale equipment and industrial computers will be needed in the future. At present, large-scale equipment has been purchased in Germany and the United States with a full set of technical information, plus the supply of raw materials from the Soviet Union. In Xiangjiang

Production and assembly are no longer a problem. The only thing missing is that Baohuodong Mining Company has not yet started production, and steel production may not increase. Fortunately, the market demand is not that big, and everything is still based on technical reserves.

Seeing IBM entering the notebook computer industry, it’s not a waste of profits! Bao Zixuan has long wanted to enter the field of large industrial computers. This is an opportunity, but in order to confuse Americans, all the CPUs used in the large industrial computers this time are

Motorola Chip. Heiyun is also discussing internally whether to use its own chips, but Bao Zixuan has carefully considered not to expose his strength too early.

In addition, Motorola's chips run very stably, and the performance of the chips designed by Heiyun itself does not meet the requirements. We can only wait until ARM grows and gradually improves it. At present, Heiyun's own engineer reserves are not in place yet.

At the same time, in order to maintain confidentiality, there are two teams within Heiyun that are developing large-scale industrial computers. One is in the United States and the other is in Hong Kong. Information on both sides can be shared. Once the required equipment is finalized, mass production will begin immediately, and at the same time, outsourced components will also be

They are all being shipped back to Xiangjiang in large quantities for storage.

After the good news came from the American team, Bao Zixuan left Xiangjiang and boarded a charter flight to the United States. The main reason was that the large-scale industrial computer was going to be unveiled at the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Show, and Bao Zixuan needed to familiarize himself with it in advance and improve the system.

one time.

At the end of February 1981, Bao Zixuan returned to the United States again. Now he would choose a chartered flight every time he travels. This is more convenient and can bring more people with him. After all, with the increase in wealth, security issues cannot be sloppy.

Arriving at the Heiyun Computer headquarters in Cambridge, Bao Zixuan watched the final assembly and debugging. The behemoth in front of him was a large-scale industrial computer that took the Heiyun engineering team nearly two years to develop. This borrowed many design concepts from IBM.

And Bao Zixuan instilled in the entire team the future development direction of industrial computers; only then did this epoch-making product come into being.

Bao Zixuan looked at Professor Harry Rowland and said, "Professor, are you satisfied with the performance of our computer?"

This time the computer was thanks to the help of MIT professors and graduate students. Without them, it would have taken at least 2 years to achieve this performance. Afraid of patent disputes, Bao Zixuan paid 20 million US dollars in research and development funds to the school.

.And after the research and development is completed, 10 large computers will be donated to the school for free; it is estimated to be more than 20 million US dollars.

Technology is controlled by others, and there is no way around it. There is no computer science talent pool in Xiangjiang, or even the whole of China. Fortunately, the first batch of enrollment at Yulin Institute of Technology is mainly based on computer science, which can be regarded as filling the gap.

Harry Rowland: "I didn't expect you to be able to develop this big guy. Now it seems that Big Blue has a strong opponent. This is not a bad thing for them, but you have to be more careful in the future. Wait.

They reported it but ignored it."

Harry Rowland was talking about the fact that since the advent of the IBM 360 large industrial computer and subsequent improved models, the Big Blue has occupied more than 90% of the market share by virtue of its technological advantages. This is a serious violation of the provisions of the Sherman Antitrust Act, so

IBM began to be investigated. The case was not concluded until 1983, which to a certain extent also restricted the development of IBM. Otherwise, with their technical reserves, they would have been the first to develop the first home computer.

Bao Zixuan: "Society is developing, and we can't always look forward and backward. Now I just want to change the world, and others will have future generations to comment."

Harry Rowland: "Let me introduce to you the performance of this computer! This computer weighs 2.5 tons, uses 8,000 Motorola 68000 chips, and has an average computing speed of 3.8 million operations per second; the peak computing speed can reach 5.18 million

times/second.”

Bao Zixuan: "So our average computing speed is 1.5 times that of IBM370, and the peak computing speed is twice that of IBM370. In addition, we seem to have several more interfaces than it, which can accept more data operations. At the same time, we can perform more

Lots of tasks.”

Harry Rowland: "In principle, that's the case, but there are still some deficiencies in the software. Aren't you back now? You are mainly responsible for the next work, and the laboratory tasks have been completed."

Bao Zixuan: "There is no problem. I have tested the new software many times on the No. 2 prototype in Xiangjiang; there are no obvious loopholes. This time with you guiding me, I think the software will be more perfect."

Of course Harry Roland knew that Bao Zixuan also had a R&D team in Xiangjiang, which was more like students from the United States than the R&D team. But after all, they were paying for it, so he couldn't say anything. The most important thing was that all the expenses were paid by the underworld.

The cloud computer company is in charge. I have earned money that I will never earn at MIT, so why not be satisfied?

Harry Rowland: "With your achievements in the computer industry, I can no longer guide you, but I think you still have to calm down and actively invest in research and development. Nowadays, computer technology is changing rapidly, and I can't keep up with the pace.

I hope you can communicate with everyone more."

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for your teaching. In addition to going to Los Angeles to participate in the exhibition recently, I will complete my studies at school and will graduate in a few months. Although I don't have much time in school, I really can't bear to be here.

.”

Harry Rowland: "I have really decided to go back, what will happen to the company here!"

Bao Zixuan: "Everything remains as usual, my mother is not in good health. I also want to return to him as soon as possible, but I will come here often, but I can no longer be a student."

Harry Rowland: "Didn't you build a university in Xiangjiang yourself? How is the situation now!"

Bao Zixuan: "The first batch of freshmen will be admitted in September this year, and most of them are internal selections. After all, they are not well-known, and they need to be perfected. If you want to come over and teach, the position of dean of the School of Computer Science will be reserved for you."

Harry Rowland: "I'll think about it. I heard that Xiangjiang is a rich and beautiful place. I really want to visit it."

Bao Zixuan: "Even if you don't want to teach, you can take your family there for vacation, or you can come and see me."

Bao Zixuan knew that before the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States would not engage in large-scale competition with China. Moreover, the two countries had just established diplomatic relations not long ago, and the relationship was still good at this time. Currently, Xiangjiang has not returned, and there are still restrictions on Xiangjiang in the high-tech field.

Not strong. How many good things you can get depends on your ability. There is no shop like this after passing this village.

After returning to the United States, Bao Zixuan really entered the daily life of a software engineer. In addition to going to school every day, he would write and debug programs in the laboratory, trying to be as perfect as possible.

As loopholes and problems are continuously discovered, the software is further optimized. As a result, the overall performance of the Heiyun Industrial Computer has increased by at least 30%, and its computing speed is already twice that of the IBM370168.
