Therefore, he traveled less for business trips and spent most of his time in Beijing, mainly in Zhongguancun.
Yes!
It is likely that no one else on Earth today understands the importance of the future chip industry, electronic computers and the Internet, mobile Internet, mobile phones and other related industries better than him.
Most importantly, the global level is actually quite similar. Although China is currently lagging behind, the gap is gradually narrowing thanks to Lin Huowang's massive investment. In many specific fields, with Lin Huowang's correct guidance, our technology and progress far surpass those of the United States.
Zhongguancun today is no longer the desolate suburb it was a few years ago.
Under Lin Huowang's relentless spending spree, modern laboratory buildings and commercial buildings have sprung up here.
Although with current technology, most of the buildings we build are under thirty stories, they can't compare to the skyscrapers of later generations that are often hundreds of stories high.
But in China in 1982, these skyscrapers were absolutely science fiction-level. Lin Huowang couldn't find a design team and construction team in China, and they wouldn't take on projects abroad either. He had to recruit people himself and painstakingly build an entire architectural design and construction team.
Alas! Everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt; we have to rely on ourselves for everything.
But it is precisely because of this that our country has seen the emergence of countless talents, so many opportunities, and so many talents cultivated since the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Only in this country... is there hope! Only in this country is there a future!
"Consultant Lin! It's done! It's a success!"
As soon as we entered the gate of the "Loongson Laboratory", Academician Ni Guangnan rushed out with disheveled hair, holding a beige machine that looked rather heavy.
The fanaticism in his eyes made him look like a complete madman.
"What's done?"
Lin Huowang smiled, though he already knew the answer, he still asked in surprise, feigning surprise.
"Computers! Our own computers!"
Ni Guangnan immediately placed the machine on the table and quickly pressed the power button.
With a slight buzzing sound, the screen immediately lit up.
There was no screen full of garbled English characters, and no complicated DOS commands.
On the screen, two huge, square Chinese characters, 【中华】, appeared prominently.
Next, a clear Chinese menu appears: [Word Processing], [Spreadsheet Calculation], [Games & Entertainment]...
"We did it!"
Ni Guangnan pointed at the screen, his eyes brimming with excitement, and said, "Advisor Lin! We can stop using those damned Chinese character cards now! We've directly written the Chinese character library into the BIOS chip! This is a native Chinese operating system!"
"Moreover, the motherboard, CPU, memory... although our current manufacturing process is not as advanced as that of the United States, this entire architecture was designed entirely by ourselves! If the Americans want to strangle us in the future? They can only dream about it!"
Although he knew this day would come sooner or later, Lin Huowang felt a surge of emotions when he reached out to touch the cold machine.
In its past life, how much humiliation did China suffer during the PC era? How much "intelligence tax" did Microsoft and Intel collect on it?
The vast wealth that China gained from its reform and opening up, particularly from light industries like clothing and toys, was easily swept away by these technology companies.
But with his rebirth in this life, all of this will be rewritten!
"Great! Academician Ni, you are absolutely a hero of the nation!"
Lin Huowang decisively said, "Now that we've come this far, there's no need to hold back any longer! We control the entire industry chain. It's time to show our strength to the United States and the world! Start mass production immediately! Name it the 'Zhonghua-1' personal computer! Abbreviated as Zhonghua Computer."
"But... Consultant Lin, we have no problem with mass production. The production lines for each component are very mature."
However, the cost is still a bit high; one unit costs four or five thousand yuan…
Liu Zhi, the sales manager standing next to him, shook his head with some difficulty and said, "With the income of ordinary people in our country, they definitely can't afford it!"
"Who said we were going to sell it to ordinary people?"
Lin Huowang laughed and said, "I'll personally take care of the entire first batch of goods!"
"You're paying for everything?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Yes! I'll pay for it, buy it, and then... donate it!"
Lin Huowang waved his hand and said, "Donate to the top high schools across the country! Donate to universities! Donate to research institutes!"
"I want our next generation in China to use our own 'Chinese computer' from the very first day they come into contact with a computer! And to type on our own Chinese system!"
"What do you call this? This is called preemptively capturing the user's mind!"
"Once these kids grow up and get used to our system, Microsoft won't be able to get in! No way!"
This is Lin Huowang's open scheme.
We'll use money to buy our way in! We'll defend our domestic computer market and carve out a future through sheer hard work!
Then, he looked at Liu Zhi and said, "Now we shouldn't need to say anything about 'it's better to buy than to make,' right? I've put you in a difficult position these past two years. You've been suppressed by me and haven't been able to use your full potential. Manager Liu, from now on, I can hand over all domestic sales of Zhonghua Computer to you, and you will be in charge of marketing. I'll point you in a direction, just like you said, computers are too expensive, and ordinary people definitely can't afford them."
