Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

...

Chapter 348 Only those who don't understand can be fooled.

It's about email-linked accounts... well, how to put it? It's incredibly insecure, easily compromised at any time. If hackers could breach the ISP's servers, they could steal all user data.

As long as you use the registration number, you can access the server's email system and retrieve emails at will. This is the biggest hidden danger.

But at this time, the haters were just beginning to emerge, and even the experts were people from other electronic engineering laboratories.

It's normal for white to turn black.

Xing Baohua made Ericsson develop a system that couldn't withstand attacks from malicious individuals; it didn't even have a firewall.

Once the administrator password is cracked, all servers can be accessed without hindrance, allowing free browsing of files and text data within programs.

Now, I dare not say anything about this! I can't even mention it, otherwise I'll just be asking him to install a security system or something, which would only cause me trouble.

Even Hong Kong's Wah Hung Telecom doesn't have a protection system; they can only work on it gradually later.

The next step was to bring out numerous prototypes and hand them over to the members of the desert country's inspection team for on-site experience.

Fortunately, most of the people who came along knew some English, which made communication much easier. The Hong Kong staff were mostly fluent in English and taught them how to use and open the software step by step.

Since the HK submarine cable is not yet in operation, we can only experience the convenience of email by transmitting data internally.

Hong Kong doesn't have it, but the desert has a national internet!

It's nothing, as long as it works.

There are no walls without ventilation. The desert country and several neighboring brother countries came to Hong Kong on a large scale to investigate the operating system, coupled with Xing Baohua's introduction of the digital machine concept.

This has also attracted the attention of several major manufacturers of communication equipment.

They are all shrewd people; anyone with a brain would realize that the people from the desert country want to purchase equipment.

Ericsson, Alcatel, and even IBM aren't in a hurry. After all, it's a model HK that was developed jointly. If the desert country makes purchases, their equipment and technology will be indispensable.

Nokia seems to have figured something out: if HK Wah Hung Telecom accepts the order, it might not use their equipment.

Of course, Nokia knew its own shortcomings; Xing Baohua kept demanding more money and rushing the work. This had a negative impact on the client, but there was nothing they could do—that's just how Euro-Continental's workers are.

Nokia is quite cunning. Knowing that there weren't many opportunities to get orders, they wanted to sell their technology and equipment, preferably in exchange for certain technologies from Xing Baohua's second-generation digital machine.

If you can't get it in exchange, sell it.

Unless Xing Baohua bypasses the technology, it will not only be time-consuming and costly, but also delay large orders.

The fastest way is to buy ready-made equipment. Nokia can catch up with Xing Baohua's progress just by buying equipment.

Next, they need to talk to Xing Baohua, but they can only do so after the inspection team from the desert country leaves. If they receive an order, they can even demand a higher price to threaten Xing Baohua.

Little did anyone know that Xing Baohua had already arranged for ZTE personnel to disguise themselves as HK Huahong staff and accompany them on the construction project.

As for the internal structure of the equipment, Xing Baohua provided ZTE with a great deal of support.

Bypassing the technology isn't a major problem; the biggest challenge lies in the chip itself.

Aside from the United States, Japan, and major manufacturers like Siemens and Philips, very few other countries can produce this thing.

Don't count on domestically produced ones. For all the microcontrollers that can be produced, Xing Baohua should place the orders and focus all efforts on producing the microcontrollers used in mobile phones and computers.

Currently, Xing Baohua can only work with ZTE to design new blueprints and then find a factory to manufacture them.

In Xing Baohua's mind, there was another company that could be contract-manufactured, namely the later-famous Qualcomm.

If they don't want to sell, they can only seek help from a few countries in continental Europe.

Perhaps Alcatel from the Rooster Kingdom could help with production. But, unless absolutely necessary, Xing Baohua really doesn't want to use anything from the Rooster Kingdom.

That's not just expensive, it's incredibly expensive!

In the morning, we tried out mobile phones and various electronic products. Aside from a few devices that malfunctioned, requiring our staff to promptly shut them down and restart them to make them run more smoothly, overall, the people from the desert country had a good experience.

The call quality is significantly better than analog. Even if the signal is weak and intermittent, there is no electrical noise.

If the signal is poor, you can extend the antenna to improve the signal.

It can increase the signal strength a little, but don't expect it to be that much stronger. Xing Baohua really put in a lot of effort to get it to this level.

We'll host a luncheon and invite a few celebrities to make an appearance. Who knows, maybe we can help build connections for other business opportunities?

Just like at trade shows, in the industry, you never know which sentence could decide a big deal.

People from desert countries are all powerful figures who can make decisions with a single word.

Many prominent figures in Hong Kong were quite satisfied with Xing Baohua's arrangements this time.

Around 3 p.m., after the banquet ended, Xing Baohua invited the delegation from the desert country to visit the computer room.

The server room, built with substantial investment, also reflects their value.

Of course, not so many people would be allowed into the computer room; only a few representatives would be allowed in, and they would have to change their shoes, wear white coats, anti-static wristbands, and hats, etc.

Enter the computer room following the standard operating procedures.

The presentation was conducted by an IBM engineer.

Although Xing Baohua accompanied him, he almost slapped his forehead when he saw the green lights flashing inside the server rack.

This was something that suddenly came to his mind.

IBM is an all-around company. Not only does it independently develop and produce computers and servers, but it can also be self-reliant in key hardware!

Memory and hard drive!

Xing Baohua only remembered that IBM had a unique feature in hard drives when he saw those indicator lights flashing.
