"Dongyun, once Lenovo Group takes a stake in Kingsoft Technology Company, Kingsoft Network will not be short of money within three years."
On the 11th, Sun Jian learned from Xiang Dongyun's phone call that Lenovo Group wanted to invest in Kingsoft.com, so he gave up the competition. This is fate, and forceful melons are not sweet! I really hope more big companies like Lenovo Group invest in the domestic Internet.
In mature Western stock markets, the sectors that funds focus on will rise more; in China, industries that the government pays attention to can grow rapidly.
"Okay, brother-in-law!"
Xiang Dongyun is relieved. Lenovo Group is now the largest computer company in China and a listed company in Hong Kong. It has turned a profit in 1997.
Now that Chairman Zhang and Brother Lei have agreed, Xiang Dongyun, as the second shareholder, voting against it will not work. On the contrary, it will hurt the harmony between the brothers. He did not tell the brothers that Sun Jian is now his brother-in-law. The brothers only know that his sister Xiang Dongping is an executive at Atic Company, the richest man in China, and her annual salary is very high. The house and car he bought and the funds he invested in Kingsoft Technology Company were all contributed by his sister.
Sun Jian also didn’t know whether Lenovo Group invested in Kingsoft Technology Company in his previous life? With the continuous investment of Lenovo Group, under the leadership of Lei Jun, Kingsoft Network will definitely not be bad. Just like Sitong Lifang in the previous life, under the care of Sitong Company, it stood out and developed into Sina Company. If Wang Zhidong and Yan Yuanchao have the ability, No money is like a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.
Internet companies are an industry that continuously burns money. It is not as simple as buying a few computers and a server at home and hiring a few people to design a web page. Pic can become the number one in the country and stand out. It spent 2.1 billion yuan in the first two years. It has built backbone networks and base stations in 31 provincial capital cities, and established 31 branches. All domestic Internet companies have invested less money than PIC alone.
Yinghaiwei, the second largest Internet company in China, has only established 8 branches in eight provincial capital cities. It plans to establish 3 branches in Bincheng, Gangdu and Gangcheng this year. It does not dare to set up branches on a large scale because Short of money.
Even though the country has built 163 backbone networks and 160 prefecture-level cities have not yet completed them, and implement free access, Internet companies such as Tencent, Sohu and NetEase that were established recently still need to spend money to build base stations in each city. .
In 1996, the annual computer sales volume was 1.8 million units, an increase of 36% from 110,000 units in 1999.
Experts predicted that computer sales in 1997 would be about 2.8 million units, but actual sales were 320,000 units, an increase of 80%. Among them, Lenovo alone sold more than 390,000 units, accounting for 12% of the domestic computer market share, exceeding the sales target set before the year. With the target of 300,000 units, it continues to retain the title of No. 1 in domestic sales, but its market share dropped by 1% from last year.
Lenovo Group's 1997 annual report showed sales revenue of US$78.2863 million and net profit of US$9.4628 million, equivalent to 78.16 million yuan.
Lenovo Xiangjiang Company suffered losses for two consecutive years in 1999 and 1996 and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Liu Zhuanzhi persuaded the leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to inject high-quality assets from Lenovo Group, and Lenovo Group went public and turned losses into profits.
The main reason why domestic computer sales exceeded expert predictions in 1997 was that the Guozhi 86 desktop computer entered the market on October 1 at a low price of 6,888 yuan, including a set of 388 yuan for Pengoicex. Other computer companies at home and abroad had to significantly reduce their prices. Seizing market share, customers enthusiastically purchased, activating the domestic computer market.
Guozhi desktop computers started to be booked on September 1st last year and launched a three-month discount promotion. At 8:30 pm on September 30th, orders for 9,147 units were received, and the bookings were lower than expected; on December 1st, Guozhi brand 86gzc000 notebook computer is launched.
As of 8:30 pm on December 31, Guozhi brand computer desktops and notebooks had sold a total of 193,200 units, accounting for .94% of the domestic computer share, with sales revenue of 1.4367 billion yuan and net profit of 98.3 million yuan, becoming the fastest growing in the world. computer brand.
The top 10 brands account for 70% of sales.
In 1997, in addition to the Guozhi brand, new computer brands such as Hongyibai, Heguang, Huasheng, and Huitong also appeared on the market. There were more than 40 local brands, and some local brands such as Kehai and Xinlan , Bai'an, Kedian, Aibida, Pioneer, Desheng, Sunshine, Xiancheng, Chaoqun, Qingjin, Zhongbai, etc. Sun Jian had never even heard of their names in his previous life.
Haier, TCL and Hisense have also entered the computer production industry.
Mr. Ni saw that the domestic computer industry was booming and the company had a lot of cash in its account. He also wanted to produce Changhong brand computers, but was persuaded by Sun Jian.
High-end TER monopoly, AMD and Cyrix occupy the mid-to-low-end CPU market. Not only do local computer companies do not have core technologies such as CPUs and motherboards, but foreign computer companies also do not act with TER expressions.
Last month, the first generation of Pentium II was born, and Inter's monopoly on the high-end CPU market became more stable. AMD could only worry! Compaq and Dec filed a petition with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to use their monopoly on CPUs to prevent potential rivals such as Compaq and Dec from obtaining the technology needed to develop products based on Intel chips. Tc has accepted the case.
Fortunately, AMD and Cyrix are competing. At the end of last year, they successfully developed 6 and CyrixM, which are planned to be supplied to the Chinese market in March 1998.
Guozhi Semiconductor Research Institute has invested 120 million yuan in R&D funds since March last year to develop gzcx, which is comparable to the first generation pentium II. The research and development took 9 months and the results should be available by the end of last year. However, the research and development by Chen Yongqing's team is more difficult than expected. Be big.
At the beginning of March, Sun Jian got good news from Li Guoliang's phone call. The research and development of gzcx was in the final stage. There was good news this month.
The gzcx motherboard developed by Song Yuanyi's team, the 2g hard drive developed by Li Yongtao's team, the 64mb memory developed by Chen Hongming's team, the 4m cache graphics card developed by Zhang Heping's team, and the 16x optical drive developed by Yang Yang's team have all been successful. Just waiting for gzcx to come out, Guozhi Brand The 686 computer has its own CPU.
Some are happy and some are sad!
On August 11, 1997, AST announced that it had become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung as Samsung's PC division.
Ast, once one of the top 10 brands in the global computer industry, has been in decline since 1994. It has not improved in the past three years and has continued to lay off employees. In the end, it still did not get out of the shadow of losses and was merged by Samsung.
"Congratulations to Director Chen. On behalf of Guozhi Semiconductor Group, I will award the gzcx team 1 million yuan."
Bang bang...
On the afternoon of March 21, Sun Jian, who returned to Jiangcheng, received a call from Li Guoliang. Chen Yongqing's team successfully developed gzcx.
The advent of gzcx means that Guozhi computers will enter the 686 computer era. Guozhi's tium II and 61 technologies are one step closer, which is of great significance!
Sun Jian was very happy and rushed to Shanghai the next day to meet Chen Yongqing's team and give him a heavy reward.
Computer technology is changing with each passing day, one step is the first and the other is the first!
If Sun Jian remembers correctly, the second generation pentium II will be available in the second half of 1998.
In 1999, pentium III will be available. a>vas>div>Scan the QR code to download Red Sleeves United with Xiaoxiang to give out benefits for newcomers to read for free for a limited time div>div>div>
