From the initial chance coincidence to the special star chasing later, Liu Chang and Li Xuan have met several times, so Li Xuan can at least call out his name. ,

"Liu Chang, are your venture capital firms also invited to attend the seminar? Why didn't I see your boss?" Li Xuan smiled kindly towards Liu Chang who came forward.

"Li Sheng, I invested in a project to develop memory sticks last year, and the results came out this year. I have now resigned from Dongfang Venture Capital to serve as the general manager of Feiyue Technology Co., Ltd." Liu Chang in front of his former boss Said very confidently.

"It's Zheng Fei's project, but Dean Yu of the research institute kept him many times, but it still failed. Finally, I went out to talk to him in person, and found that although this kid is a little shy, he is still very good. My own thoughts." Li Xuan immediately guessed the other partner's partner and couldn't help but sigh.

With the rise of the Oriental Research Institute, the entire computer industry was completely subverted by Li Xuan, and many people and companies that he had never heard of in his previous life began to rise. For example, Zheng Fei, as he said, was one of the core R&D personnel of the memory R&D team of the Eastern Research Institute.

If the other party chooses to stay, it is normal for an annual salary of one million Hong Kong dollars. However, under the influence of Li Xuan's role model, many technicians like Zheng Fei in the Oriental Research Institute also began to be unwilling to do three-point and one-line scientific research work, and wanted to challenge a more magnificent life.

Li Xuan will not stop this kind of normal flow of people, but will encourage these companies that have gone out from the Oriental Group, and are naturally closer to the Oriental Group. Their rise will only grow further. The influence of the Oriental Group in the entire computer industry

On the other hand, Liu Chuanzhi was slightly surprised when he listened to the conversation between the two. This "God of Wealth Li" not only did not have any depression about the defection of his employees. On the contrary, he is still able to talk and laugh, and he has an attitude that ordinary people cannot match.

"Li Sheng. Let me introduce to you. This is Liu Chuanzhi, the general manager of Beijing Lianxiang Computer Company." Liu Chang quickly introduced Liu Chuanzhi beside him to Li Xuan.

Lian Xiang, Liu Chuanzhi, and Li Xuan were stunned for a moment, and when they looked at each other, the corners of their mouths couldn't help showing a unique smile. "China does not have Lianxiang, what will the world be like?" The famous advertising slogan of Lianxiang in later generations has left a deep impression on countless people.

"Hello, Li Sheng, I'm Liu Chuanzhi from Beijing Computer New Technology Development Company. This is my business card. It's a great honor to meet you." Liu Chuanzhi, who was in his 40s, was very surprised in front of Li Xuan, who was not yet 30 years old. of respect.

Li Xuan took over the business card. In addition to the company name and address, as well as Liu Chuanzhi's title and contact number, the most striking thing on it was the words "Lenovo Computer" in black and bold in the middle.

"Is Lianxiang the brand of your computer?" Li Xuan asked deliberately.

As far as he knows, in another time and space, the origin of the company's name is because the Hanka they developed early has the function of word association. But in this time and space, there is no need for the company to develop Hanka at all. So Li Xuan is very curious about why Liu Chuanzhi still interacts with the word "Lianxiang".

"Yes, this is the brand name of our company's main computer. At the beginning, Li Sheng, your Oriental Application Software Company provided a simplified Chinese version for the ord software, which made the paperless office of Chinese characters possible.

However, the Chinese input method attached to the eastdos operating system has many traces of Taiwanese and Hong Kong dialects and word creation. It is not very suitable for mainland use. Therefore, when we first assembled abc series compatible machines for sale, we deliberately wrote a Chinese input method that is more in line with domestic specifications.

In addition, our input method has specially added the function of phrase association, so as to improve the typing efficiency of users. This association input method has become the biggest tool for our company to sell computers. So we simply called our computer brand Lianxiang”

Liu Chuanzhi explained in detail the origin of the brand "Lenovo Computer". This makes Li Xuan can only sigh the power of historical inertia.

"Mr. Li, my previous discussion about research-oriented enterprises was very straightforward. Independent innovation is the best card for an enterprise to press the box in the fierce market competition." Liu Chuanzhi said with emotion.

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile. One must know that Lianxiang Company in another time and space had a famous "Ni Liu dispute" in the 1990s. In the end, he chose Liu Chuanzhi, who kept the market share first, and successfully replaced Ni Guannan, who insisted on independent innovation. Clean out.

But now Liu Chuanzhi has obviously made the diametrically opposite choice. It has to be said that Liu Chuanzhi can adapt according to the actual situation of the company itself and the external market, and has the potential to become an excellent entrepreneur.

In later generations, there were many people who complained about Ni Guannan's grievances on the Internet, but in Li Xuan's opinion, this was not the case. In another time and space in 994, Lianxiang Company faced the dissolution of Batumi and the removal of technical barriers for international computer brands to enter the Chinese market. dire situation

With the strength of Lianxiang Company at that time, to compete with international giants for R&D strength is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and finding a dead end. Its most correct approach is undoubtedly to choose to invest in the Intel camp, relying on the price advantage to protect the low-end market first, so that it can survive

In Li Xuan's view, Ni Guannan has too many idealistic tendencies that intellectuals take for granted. He always said that his company made switches earlier than Ren Zhengfei's Huawei, and he believed that if Lian wanted to take the road of independent research and development, he could become another Huawei.

But he did not expect that Lianxiang was not a manufacturer of communication equipment from the beginning, but a supplier of computer products. The communication equipment market is completely different from the personal computer market. The former is a monopoly industry, while the latter is a free competition market.

On the one hand, the rise of Huawei is due to the country's vigilance against foreign manufacturers, and on the other hand, it is due to Ren Zhengfei's personal ability and background. You must know that neither Liu Chuanzhi nor Ni Guannan has a father-in-law who has been a high-level provincial official who can make him shine. On the contrary, it is impossible for the consumer electronics industry to be secretly supported by the state like the communication industry, so it is by no means easy for a company to survive.

Li Xuan felt that it was not wrong for Lianxiang to take the "trade, industry and technology" route in the 1990s in another time and space~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If a scholar like Ni Guannan really had the power, Li Xuan would not believe that Lianxiang could go. To the point after that.

But now the external environment has changed. Because of the intervention of Dongfang Group, the domestic computer industry has developed earlier and more vigorously than in another time and space. Lianxiang is keen to seize the opportunity and accumulate a certain amount of capital.

Although the existence of Batumi has put a treasury spell on China's computer industry, it is also a kind of protection for the young domestic computer industry. Before the dissolution of Batumi, Lianxiang Company had at least five or six years to carry out technology research and development, so that it could maintain a little confidence to fight when foreign computer brands entered the Chinese market in the future.

"Scientific research is not as easy as you think. It's a zero-sum game where the winner takes all." Li Xuan suddenly poured cold water, "The Oriental Research Institute submitted an application for communication and transmission technology last year. Later, when we searched for patents, we learned that a patent application of ib with a highly similar content was only two days slower than the Oriental Group.

If IB can complete the research and development a few days earlier, then the failure will be the Oriental Research Institute. At that time, we will not only lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in the early development of the project, but it may cost millions or even tens of millions in the future. Funds to buy each other's patents

Therefore, in order to produce results as soon as possible, everyone is always racing against time. Overtime is the most common thing in the IT world. The pressure on researchers is actually not small at all. You may know that the Oriental Research Institute is very good in logistical support, but this is from I was forced to some extent, and I don’t want my employees to collapse on the workbench.”
