On behalf of Lenovo Computer Company, Liu Zhuanzhi submitted an application to the Ministry of Electronic Industry to produce Lenovo computers. The Ministry of Electronic Industry believed that Lenovo Computer Company did not meet the requirements for an independent computer production license in terms of financial strength, production space and computer technology reserves. met the standards and rejected its application.
Although Liu Zhuanzhi was a little disappointed, he was not discouraged. Lenovo Computer Company was registered in Pengcheng Industrial and Commercial Bureau and established Pengcheng Lenovo Computer Company, and allocated 500,000 yuan in scientific research funds to the R&D team led by chief engineer Ni Guanglan to develop Lenovo computer motherboards.

"Mr. Wan, the Chinese version of Peng OS1.0 is much better than I expected. In addition, domestic users are already accustomed to using Peng WPS2.0, Peng Pinyin3.0, Peng Print Drive3.0 and other application software. Unknowingly, The software application environment of the Chinese version of Peng OS1.0 has been established. With the current technical strength of Jiangcheng Kunpeng Software Research Institute, I predict that Yan Yuanchao will add Peng Pinyin3.0 and Peng Print Drive3.0 to Peng OS 1.0. Peng OS 2.0 and Peng OS 3.0 will be released one after another, with more powerful functions. No domestic software company can compete with them. I recommend that the joint venture company pre-install the Chinese version of Peng OS 1.0."
Wang Jizhi was proud of Yan Yuanchao and the others for completing the important tasks expected of programmers of their generation.
In mid-January, Wan Younan adopted the suggestions of Wang Jizhi and others, and Stone Company registered Pengcheng Stone Computer Company in Pengcheng with a registered capital of 10 million yuan.
In early February, Wan Younan, on behalf of Stone Computer Company, negotiated with Guo Linqing, general manager of Compaq Computer Company's office in Beijing. Stone Computer Company and Compaq Computer Company signed a joint venture agreement to establish Compaq Computer Company in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone. Computer Co., Ltd. has a registered capital of 10 million yuan. Kangbo Computer Company invested in technology and production equipment, accounting for 51% of the shares. Sitong Computer Company invested in space and funds, accounting for 40% of the shares. 9. Produce and sell Compaq computers at home and abroad.

"Bill, Scully rejected our request for an out-of-court settlement!"
In mid-January, MicroR Company set up a representative office in Beijing. In order to apply for the Windows 2.0 invention patent at the China Patent Office as soon as possible, Steve proposed to Apple G CEO Sculley on behalf of the company that he was willing to pay US$10 million. To compensate and reach an out-of-court settlement, Sculley proposed that MicroR must pay a patent royalty of twenty dollars per set of Windows in order to withdraw the lawsuit.
"Steve, Scully is maliciously blackmailing us, and we will never agree!"
Gaici got the Chinese version of Peng OS 1.0. After a comprehensive evaluation by the members of the Windows 2.0 project team, they have always believed that the Chinese version of Peng OS 1.0 has surpassed the Windows 3.0 they are developing. The situation is grim, and the Nasdaq market Investors were the first to vote with their feet. Micro R's stock price has now dropped to US$0.27 per share. Some strategic investors have criticized the company's board of directors for its poor response. If the decline cannot be reversed, they will join forces with other investors to criticize the chairman. Gates proposed a vote of no confidence.
The price of a set of MS-DOS 3.3 in the United States remains at US$99, with small profits but quick turnover, just to combat macOS. A set of Windows will receive a royalty fee of US$20 from Apple G, which is equivalent to Apple G. work to earn a living.
Gates understood that this was Scully's revenge on him. He signed an agreement with the other party on behalf of the company the year before to partially use the macOS graphical user interface in the Word and Excel software developed for Apple G Company. MicroR Company used the macOS graphical user interface in the newly developed Windows 2 .0 "borrowed" the creativity of the macOS graphical user interface and was taken to court by Apple G. This lawsuit for infringement of intellectual property rights took a lot of time to collect and present evidence. It took two or three years to expect a result.
Although the defendant went to court, it did not affect the sales of Windows 1.0 and Windows 2.0. With the agreement signed by the two parties, Micro R Company would not lose the lawsuit against Apple G Company, and would not panic about the cover. It would concentrate its software engineers Step up the development of Windows 3.0, and then develop Windows 3.1 with Chinese functions based on Windows 3.0 to enter the increasingly mature Chinese computer market.
Everything is under Gaici's planning and control.
In the Chinese market, Peng OS 1.0, which has a user graphical interface and Chinese functions, has emerged, posing a huge threat to MS-DOS 3.3 (including PC-DOS 3.3), which occupies an absolute share of the computer operating system market.
Gai Ci suddenly discovered that the situation in the lawsuit between Micro R Company and Apple G Company was suddenly extremely unfavorable to Micro R Company.
Since Jobs was kicked out of Apple G by the board of directors, with the full support of the board of directors led by Mark Kula, Apple has become internally stable. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the founding of Apple, Mac SE and Mac II were launched one after another. Now Scott Lee's position as CEO of Ping G Company is stable.
"Bill, the Chinese market will not need Hanka. Computer companies such as HP, Compaq, ATT and Toshiba all want to seize market share from IBM and have ordered the Chinese version of Peng OS1.0 from Jiangcheng Kunpeng Software Company. IBM If you want to continue to occupy the largest market share in the Chinese market, you have to stop using PC-DOS 3.3 and buy the Chinese version of Peng OS 1.0. MS-DOS 3.3 has no market in China. Once the English version of Peng OS 1.0 is available in European and American countries, The company's invention patents, Windows 1.0 and Windows 2.0 orders will definitely be affected. Scully understands our current disadvantageous situation and forces us to submit. Apart from accelerating the development of Windows 3.0, we have no better way!"
"Steve, I'll go and negotiate with Scully myself!"

Apple G headquarters.
"Mike, the guys at the Pentagon don't agree to immediately lift the ban on the Macintosh, and they won't make a decision until a thorough review."
Scully returned from the Pentagon and angrily told Markkula the bad news.
Domestic 386 computers pre-installed with the Chinese version of Peng OS 1.0 have been launched one after another. The sales of Apple G386 computers with APPLE-DOS and Peng Hanka 2.0 installed in the Chinese market have dropped sharply due to the huge price difference.
After a comprehensive assessment, the company's board of directors believed that it was both a threat and an opportunity, and asked Rockefeller, Xerox and the Rothschild family to lobby and pressure the Pentagon to lift the ban on Macintosh as soon as possible and apply for the company's invention patent for Mac OS 2.0 in China as soon as possible , speed up the research and development progress of Mac OS3.0 with Chinese-language functions, and then sell Mac OS3.0 to other computer manufacturers at low prices to seize the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets that were previously occupied by IBM and Micro-R.
"John, now that the Pentagon guys have agreed to conduct a comprehensive evaluation, we have hope. On the one hand, we will buy the Chinese version of Peng OS1.0 to occupy the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets. On the other hand, we will speed up the development of the Chinese version of Mac OS3.0. Once Once the Pentagon lifts the ban, we will apply for a company invention patent for Mac OS 3.0 with the China Patent Office, and then sell Mac OS 3.0 to other computer manufacturers at a low price to attack IBM, MicroR and Kunpeng Software."
"Mike, if Gai comes to negotiate with me again, shall we give in?"
