Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 570 Three years later

In Fang Mingyuan's eyes, the world in 1993 was turbulent. On January 1, Czechoslovakia officially split into two countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In January, US President George H.W. Bush, who had won the Gulf War, and Bowen

Reese Yeltsin signs the Second Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.

The world was wonderful in 1993. In this year, US President William Jefferson Clinton left a strong mark in American history! He was the first American born after World War II.

The president, the second president to be impeached by Congress, is also the youngest president of the United States after Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, and the only Democratic president to be successfully re-elected after Franklin Roosevelt. Of course.

, is also an American president who left a deep impression on Fang Mingyuan’s memory.

Not only was Clinton’s sex scandal with White House intern Monica Lewinsky later exposed by the American media, and Clinton was investigated by the judicial department. The Republican Party also proposed an impeachment bill in Congress, but it was ultimately unsuccessful.

This is the famous "zipper door" case. At least it looks more pleasing to the eye than Bush and that Obama.

Also in this year, China's first dedicated line to the Internet was officially opened. The 64k dedicated line from the International Satellite leased by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in the United States was officially opened. This marked the beginning of China's entry into the Internet.

Times. This made Fang Mingyuan, who had been waiting for many years, feel sincerely happy. He was even happier than Cameron's "True Lies" being a box office hit.

Although, compared with the broadband or fiber optic Internet access in the previous life, the speed of 64k dedicated line is like a snail. Let alone watching a movie, you have to wait for a long time just to see a few pictures. But this is like a sparrow cannot because

Seeing the clumsy flight of the little eagle made me forget the majestic appearance of it soaring into the sky in the future. Although Fang Mingyuan never really enjoyed the pleasure of high speed in his previous life! Compared with foreign countries, China's Internet speed can only reach that of others.

It is one-tenth of the Internet fee of others, but it charges 20 times the Internet fee. It is the most profitable company in the world. It can at least be ranked in the top ten. Of course, if it were not for several of its brothers, its

The ranking may be higher.

In this year, Intel officially released the Pentium processor, which made Fang Mingyuan feel that he finally had a computer that he could barely accept. Before that, Lin Lian and the others were all wondering why

Although Fang Mingyuan encourages people in the company to learn and use high-tech products like computers, he has never been involved in them himself. However, in the meeting with Microsoft President Bill Gates, he seemed so confident.

"Rong Rong, how far is Microsoft's Windows system? When will it go on sale?" Fang Mingyuan, who is already 1.78 meters tall and has a thin beard on his lips, looked at the report in his hand and frowned.

Asked. At the end of 1991, under Cameron's introduction, Fang Mingyuan began to contact Microsoft President Bill Gates, and in the second year, he successfully obtained 5% of Microsoft's equity.

For two years, Fang Mingyuan has been absorbing Microsoft's stocks. Now, he is the third largest shareholder in Microsoft after President Bill Gates and Paul Allen, controlling nearly 14% of Microsoft's shares.

Shares. And Microsoft's Windows system will be released ahead of schedule due to his suggestion and insistence. Although Fang Mingyuan has always felt that win93 does not sound so pleasant to the ear.

After Lin Rong graduated from college last year, she replaced Lin Lian and became Fang Mingyuan's assistant. Lin Lian, together with Aso Xiangyue, took on the important task of overseas development of the Fang family's industry. They were in charge of huge overseas funds. The Soviet Union

The disintegration of Fang Mingyuan has caused the huge sum of money that Fang Mingyuan invested in advance to rise, and the resources he purchased in Russia have doubled in value now. However, all of these are like icebergs in the North and South Poles, only in the world.

A corner of his eyes showed up. Even Mr. Fang and Su Huandong didn't know how much assets the Fang family had now.

"The preliminary test has been completed. The Microsoft Development Department believes that it is best to schedule the sale on Christmas so that they can have more time to test the software." Lin Rong replied immediately. Although Fang Mingyuan did not hold any position at Microsoft,

It is an administrative position, but as the third largest shareholder of Microsoft and a director of the company, of course he has the right to know the company's work progress. In particular, the win93 system was developed under his proposal.

"Christmas?" Fang Mingyuan scratched his head. It was only July now, and it took almost half a year to test, which was not a short time. But then he thought about it. The emergence of the window system can be said to be an epoch-making change for computer users.

, and Microsoft's systems have always been famous for having many patches. It is worth doing more testing to ensure that there are fewer bugs after it is released! Nowadays, Microsoft can barely be regarded as its own company, so it is good to be less scolded.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan stretch and stand up from his desk, Lin Rong understood that Fang Mingyuan had come to an end for the time being and was going to rest for a while.

"Mingyuan, why do you think Intel called the new processor 586 instead of 486?" Lin Rong asked curiously. In her opinion, naming it like this is a natural thing.

"Hey, it's not all about money!" Anyone else might not understand Intel's intention, but Fang Mingyuan, who had experienced the era of network information explosion in his previous life, knew it clearly.

The sales of the 80486 were a great success around the world, and Intel, which earned huge amounts of US dollars, launched a new generation of high-performance processors - Pentium in 1993. However, due to the increasingly fierce competition in the world's computer market

ization, Intel felt that it could no longer let AMD and other companies use the same name to compete for its own jobs, so it proposed trademark registration. However, because registration with Arabic numerals was not allowed under U.S. law, Intel played a trick

They came up with a trick and used Latin to register the trademark. "Pentium" means "five" in Latin. Because of its emphasis on the Chinese market, Intel also gave it a very nice Chinese name - Pentium.

"So that's it!" Lin Rong suddenly realized, "Intel doesn't want other companies to take advantage of it!"

"That's the truth!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan suddenly thought about it. It seemed that he remembered that Intel's early products of Pentium processors had a problem in the floating-point arithmetic unit. In a few cases, the accuracy of the processor's division operations would be reduced.

This flaw was later discovered and spread to the public, which caused Intel to lose face around the world and had to establish a recall plan to recycle the problematic processors. The losses were heavy, and more importantly, it gave rival AMD an opportunity to catch up.

.

This is a rare opportunity. If we can discover this flaw first, we have to talk to Intel. Fang Mingyuan now has a computer manufacturing company under his name, but it is not a sole proprietorship of the Fang family, but a joint venture.

The Su family, Guo family, Mei family and other families jointly invested in the establishment. Fang Mingyuan only held 33.333% of the shares, and the rest of the shares were divided by others. The Su family's

The shares were advanced by Fang Mingyuan without interest. When the company makes profits in the future, it will be returned to Fang Mingyuan from the dividends.

Although Fang Mingyuan also knows that Huaxia's future computer market is quite considerable. Just think about Lenovo in the previous life and you will know how considerable the profits here are. But Fang Mingyuan believes that no matter how considerable its profits are, in the final analysis

, it is just an assembly company. It just purchases computer parts from various companies and selects the most suitable ones to assemble. Instead of working hard on this, it is better to study the motherboard, graphics card, optical drive and other parts.

production, which is of more practical value to the improvement of China's manufacturing level.

The reason why Fang Mingyuan decided to found this company was to get a share of the huge market. On the other hand, he also valued using this method to more closely connect the interests of the families he had good relations with.

.In China, it is difficult for no one in the officialdom to do business! So even if he hates it, he has to do it. At least through this method, there will be fewer leather bags companies that harm the market. Moreover, Fang Mingyuan also hopes to use this method

, let these children of high-ranking officials realize that they can also make money by doing business seriously!

"Rongrong, please contact James and ask him to buy some of the latest Pentium processors in the United States, and let people in the company perform floating point operations to test their performance, especially the accuracy of his division operations! You must test it repeatedly.

, Make sure everything is foolproof!" Fang Mingyuan said immediately. Although Intel has sold Pentium processors, it will still take some time to enter China. For the time being, this testing work can only be left to Cameron. Fortunately, these days

In the past few years, the special effects company that Fang Mingyuan and he jointly invested in has achieved good results, and the company has a large number of computers. It is not difficult for them to do this kind of work.

Although Fang Mingyuan remembered that it took a long time for this flaw to be discovered, it seemed that it took a full year for someone to discover it, but he was not willing to let go of such a rare opportunity to blackmail Intel! He was just a little butterfly.

Rebirth has caused slight deviations in many things in the world. Who can guarantee that this flaw will still be discovered in the original time?
