What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
If Zhao Ye hadn't appeared out of nowhere, Liu Chuanzhi's wish would have truly come true. What a pity, who knows if a miracle will happen in this life...
"Old Liu, what do you think we should do now? We certainly can't just slink back like this. Wujiang Company has rejected cooperation from many American PC brands, so why don't we just cooperate with these PC manufacturers?!" The colleague frowned, thought for a moment, and suggested to Liu Chuanzhi.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chuanzhi's lips twitched involuntarily. Numerous American PC manufacturers had proactively approached Wujiang Company to seek cooperation, yet Wujiang was being picky and refusing them. This was... utterly speechless.
“One man’s poison is another man’s honey! You’re right. Right now, the only thing we can do is go and cooperate with these PC manufacturers. As long as we can distribute their PCs, we can make money!” Liu Chuanzhi nodded emphatically.
Domestically, there is a shortage of materials, making foreign PC brands very popular.
The Institute of Computing Technology wasn't incapable of manufacturing or selling PCs; the main problem was the lack of procurement channels for components.
By acting as an agent for other people's PCs, the Institute of Computing Technology can find a way to sell them.
Liu Chuanzhi and his colleagues immediately sprang into action. They had been in the United States for many days and their expenses were considerable, so they couldn't afford to waste any more time.
Although the Institute of Computing Technology is not well-known abroad, it invented the Lenovo Chinese character card and has the background of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After learning about these things, many computer manufacturers were immediately interested. Liu Chuanzhi and his colleagues soon enjoyed a home away from home.
After a period of negotiations, Liu Chuanzhi secured exclusive distribution rights in mainland China from three PC manufacturers. However, the terms were quite stringent, leaving the company with very low profit margins, sometimes less than 10%.
