Jin Zhaoming consulted legal experts. Litigation with Jiangcheng Kunpeng Software Company would not only be a waste of time, but would also be considered by the leaders as lacking awareness of intellectual property protection.
Jin Zhaoming stopped the development of CCDOS2.13D, mobilized all programmers from the Third Institute of Electronics, and began to develop a truly Chinese version of computer DOS, appointing Wu Xiaojun as the leader of the project team.
The Chinese version of the computer operating system project has received strong support from the Ministry of Electronic Industry and the Leading Group of Electronic Industry, which allocated R&D funds of 200,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan respectively.
The Chinese version of computer DOS was written on the basis of CCDOS2.13C, and the project started to progress smoothly. Later, my friend Lei Hong told Wu Xiaojun that the company's invention patent for the DOS source code was in the hands of Microsoft, although MS-DOS had not applied for a domestic company. However, PC-DOS with the same content has already applied for the company's invention patent. Even if the Chinese version of computer DOS is successfully written, it will not escape being sued by IBM and Microsoft. The reputation of the Third Institute of Electronics and its reputation will be seriously damaged.
Wu Xiaojun's heart suddenly felt cold, and then he had a hunch that the problem was serious and reported it to Director Jin.
Jin Zhaoming told him not to worry about whether he borrowed the DOS source code? When the Chinese version of computer DOS is developed, the above will find a solution.
On January 1, Jin Zhaoming met Yan Yuanchao in the dormitory courtyard. The two were strangers.
On January 3, Jin Zhaoming received a call from Minister Wan of the Ministry of Electronic Industry. The world's first Chinese version of computer operating system with independent intellectual property rights, Peng OS 1.0, developed under the leadership of Yan Yuanchao, had been approved by the Electronic Industry Leading Group. The expert appraisal committee appraised it. Twelve experts and professors of the expert appraisal committee gave unanimous approval. The Peng OS1.0 project team was praised and rewarded by Team Leader Li of the Electronic Vibration Leading Group. The Patent Office decided to grant the company an invention patent with immediate effect.
After putting down the phone, Director Jin suddenly felt a chill in his heart. It was Yan Yuanchao again!
He tried to find a way to drive his wife away from the house, out of sight and out of mind, and did not tell Wu Xiaojun the news.
Paper wrapped in fire, Yan Yuanchao's project team won the first prize of the 1987 Science and Technology Progress Award for the Kunpeng Hanka project. At the award ceremony, it was suddenly announced that the world's first Chinese version of computer operating system with independent intellectual property rights, Peng OS1. 0 has passed the appraisal of the expert evaluation committee and obtained the company's invention patent. It will be promoted in "Computer World News" tomorrow and will be accepted for pre-order from now on. It will be launched at the same time as the domestic 386 computer.
Shocking!
Wu Xiaojun and the members of the project team felt a chill in their hearts. With the belief of winning glory for the country, they had been busy for more than half a year, and the project was not even 30% completed. Even if it was successfully developed a year later, they would have to face lawsuits from IBM and Microsoft. There is no market anymore.
The development of the Chinese version of computer DOS is at a semi-stagnant state. Director Jin and Wu Xiaojun can only wait for the Chinese version of Peng OS 1.0 to be launched and make a decision after seeing the content.
Waiting is torture!

On February 25, the National Academy of Sciences issued the "Implementation Plan on Implementing the Housing System Reform in Phases and Batches in Cities and Cities across the Country", deciding that starting from 1988, it would take three to five years to implement the reform of the housing system in cities and towns across the country in phases and batches. System reform was launched.
Each province, autonomous region, and municipality directly under the Central Government must formulate an implementation plan for the local area in phases and in batches, and report it to the Housing System Reform Leading Group of the State Council before the end of June this year.
The goal of urban housing system reform is to realize the commercialization of housing in accordance with the requirements of the socialist planned commodity economy.
Adjust the industrial structure, open up the real estate market, develop real estate finance and the real estate industry, and integrate real estate development, construction, operation, and services, including housing, into the entire socialist planned commodity economy cycle.
Reforms must start in the three major cities of Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai as well as provincial capitals (capital cities of autonomous regions).
Commercial housing sold by business units to employees on a micro-scale basis is exempt from paying construction tax and business tax; employees who purchase public housing for the first time are exempt from paying deed tax.

On the morning of the 29th, Yu Hongzhen submitted her resignation application to Jin Zhaoming with a smile on her face, and surrendered the staff dormitory of the Third Electronics Institute. Jiangcheng Taobao Electrical Appliance Company gave Director Yan a well-decorated house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the family moved there. Going to Jiangcheng, she was invited to be the director of the kindergarten of Jiangcheng Taobao Electrical Appliance Company. She thanked Director Jin for his many years of care and concern.
Director Jin did not leave the office door all morning.
The next day, Yan Yuanchao's family moved out of the staff dormitory building of the Third Electronics Institute with the help of relatives and friends.

"Xiao Wu, will it have a big impact on our project?"
"Director Jin, although Peng OS 1.0 uses UNIX open source code as the core, which is completely different from DOS, it has a user graphical interface and Chinese functions. PC-DOS, MS-DOS and APPLE-DOS in the domestic market, etc., Compared with it, it is not at the same level. It is probably comparable to Mac OS, which also has a graphical user interface. However, Mac OS does not have Chinese functions and has not applied for company invention patents in China. The market of domestic Chinese version computer operating systems will be Peng OS1.0 is exclusively occupied, and the Chinese version of computer DOS we wrote has lost its value."
Wu Xiaojun fell in love with this operating system since he opened the graphical interface on the Great Wall 286 computer. His heart suddenly became cold and he reported to Dean Jin realistically.

Beijing, Computing Institute Company.
"Mr. Liu, the Chinese version of Peng OS 1.0 written by Yan Yuanchao and others is better than I imagined. The graphical user interface and Chinese functions surpass all computer operating systems on the market. The Chinese version of computer DOS and Wu Xiaojun developed under the leadership of Director Zeng The development of the Chinese version of computer DOS was only aborted. The Chinese version of the microcomputer operating system being developed by domestic scientific research institutes has lost its application value. In addition, Jiangcheng Kunpeng Software Company is vigorously promoting Peng WPS2.0 and Peng Pinyin3.0. , Peng Print Drive3.0 and Peng ERP2.0, etc., the application software environment matching Peng OS1.0 has been established. For a period of time, the domestic microcomputer operating system will be monopolized by the Chinese version of Peng OS1.0."
Ni Guanglan was relieved and sighed. Kunpeng Software Company has won glory for the national computer software industry.
"In the future, software developed by domestic and foreign software companies must match the Chinese version of Peng OS 1.0 in order to have a domestic market. Even large foreign companies such as IBM, Microsoft and Apple will not be able to shake Jiangcheng Kunpeng Software Company's domestic Chinese version for some time. version of the computer operating system market, the electronic vibration leadership group will take the opportunity to strengthen the localization of computer hardware and reduce the market price of computers. Maybe next year, the market price of 386 computers will drop to around 20,000. Once the price of 386 computers If it falls to less than 15,000 yuan, the domestic computer market will explode."
In early 1988, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences registered the New Technology Development Company of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, referred to as the New Technology Development Company. The New Technology Development Company, China Technology Transfer Co., Ltd., and Xiangjiang Daoyuan Computer Systems Co., Ltd. each contributed capital With 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, Lenovo Computer Co., Ltd. was registered in Hong Kong. The three parties each held 33% of the shares of Lenovo Computer Co., Ltd.
On February 8, Liu Zhuanzhi adopted Ni Guanglan's suggestion and went to AST's Beijing office with deputy general manager Zhang Zuxiang to propose to General Manager Ronghui that Lenovo Computer Company and AST Company establish an AST Lenovo Computer joint venture.
After Ronghui reported it to the company headquarters, he refused!
Liu Zhuanzhi and Zhang Zuxiang understood that AST Company believed that Lenovo Computer Company did not have this qualification.
