With the long-term plan, there is also a corresponding implementation plan. After several days of discussion, the three companies have formed a preliminary consensus, first integrating the intricate share-sharing between the companies and redefining the development direction. After a series of consultations and detailed discussions, a new set of plans was finally formed on the original basis of the three companies.
Zero Time Group: With optical storage as the core pillar and magnetic storage as the expansion direction, it involves the research and development of technologies such as optical discs, optical drives, and hard disks, and provides technical support for other enterprises.
Feiyan Group: Turning zero-hour technology into products, specializing in the research and development of video and audio players, and actively upgrading products. At the same time, the game console project was established to enter the home console market.
Eagle's Nest Entertainment: mainly acts as an agent for games and video discs, takes into account the dual responsibilities of development and distribution, increases investment in game studios, and provides guarantees for Feiyan's product marketing.
In addition, News Corporation's film and television media company, Chen Yuanming's Dianjinshi and Yuanyang Fund, and Yan Qiaosen's Cube company have also become peripheral auxiliary forces, and can provide strong assistance to these three companies at any time.
At the same time, after a series of share swaps and re-signing of the capital injection agreement, the share ratios of the three companies have also changed. Chen Yuanming's shareholding in Feiyan further increased, overtaking Meng Lisheng's shareholding and possessing an absolute controlling stake. News Corp. increased its stake in Zero Hour through stock exchange, and at the same time reduced its stake in the Eagle's Nest, and exchanged these with Feiyan to make it also involved in the operation of the Eagle's Nest. And the three companies have opened a certain amount of shares for employees to subscribe, which has become an effective incentive mechanism.
Through such integration, the three companies have become a real community of interests and are more closely linked together. However, further adjustments, as well as the establishment and development of new projects, still require more time, as well as careful planning and arrangements. This kind of thing cannot be urgent and needs to be done steadily.
After roughly clarifying the related matters of Feiyan, Chen Yuanming made some project adjustments in the touchstone, and took the Internet-based playback software and mail system as the focus of support in the next stage. Now Hotmail has not yet been born, and Realworks, the parent company of the most well-known Ryer, has not appeared. Although it is not difficult to develop similar products according to Chen Yuanming's current strength, the founder of each company has its own uniqueness. , what he needs to do is not to take away their jobs, but to increase investment in them, control their development direction, and make them the hens that really lay golden eggs.
When Realworks started and grew, MP3 players became his next bag. Just like iTunes has a huge influence on the entire Apple company, when they owned Realworks, a world-renowned Internet player company, they used it and the technical power of Zero Time, as well as Feiyan's production and research and development capabilities, to create a It is not difficult to own Feiyan's own iPod.
With the core technology of MP3 players and the patent rights of more digital products, when Chinese products enter the world market in the future, the patent rights will not only be a big stick that Western developed countries can wield. This is a huge market with a real sales volume of hundreds of millions, an industry that is closely related to the future development of the Internet and the change of people's ideas, how can it be handed over to others.
And the browser battle will be a key to breaking through Microsoft's blockade, a frontier battle to break the Windows monopoly. With the precedent of scape, people will gradually discover the benefits of software that does not come with Windows, and will become accustomed to using or buying products developed by other software manufacturers. Opening this "window" will undoubtedly give more budding software. Manufacturers survive.
Just for the development plan of the scape browser, Chen Yuanming is not in a hurry. At present, Yuanyang Fund does not hold enough shares in Netscape. When the company is actually listed, he still needs to exchange shares and buy shares. Netscape's control, until then, the subsequent operations can continue.
He has a rough plan for Silicon Valley, and Manhattan will soon enter the hedging operation of copper futures, but Chen Yuanming still took the time to go back to China. For the development of Anxin Company and the mobile phone manufacturing industry, he really has something new. experience.
At the end of February, the New Year atmosphere in Beijing has completely dissipated, and a new round of shopping boom has begun in Zhongguancun. The Sihai Square is crowded with people, and the street vendors are full of strange tricks. Not far from Electronic Street, the newly built Junteng Building has become an outstanding existence, a simple and lively building, elegant and fashionable annexes, and those luxury cars in the parking lot. The local Zhongguancun has created a taste that can only be found in the CDB business district.
Before and after the Spring Festival, several companies signed agreements with Junteng, and the most popular ones were Dianjinshi Investment Co., Ltd. and the R&D Department of Anxin Group. And these two companies have also become a striking landscape in Zhongguancun. Submitting the proposal, seeking venture capital, applying for the R&D department of Anxin, and striving for high-paying positions have become the focus of the technical elites in Zhongguancun.
Today, though, a visit isn't exactly a job candidate.
"Really moving upstairs? Now it's convenient to find you two." He opened the door with a smile, Xiao Yun walked into the newly renovated top floor meeting room, casually sitting on the leather sofa chairs in front of the round table Sitting down, he looked up and down at the young man in front of him, he shook his head, "Yuanming, I didn't say it, everyone is putting on fat during the New Year, why are you thin again?"
"Where is it?" Chen Yuanming smiled and sat down on the chair beside Xiao Yun, "The end of the year and the beginning of the year are the busiest times."
"Just listening to your actions, I feel timid." Xiao Yun was not fooled, "I heard from my sister-in-law that there is a new action from the Foundation recently? Da Tian listened."
Chen Yuanming smiled and did not answer. Industry is the real foundation of the country, and minerals are the bloodline that supports the backbone of the industry. In order to compete for mineral resources, it is not surprising that there is much movement. It's just that this aspect is no longer something he should get involved in. Someone who should know will naturally tell him that he doesn't need to be sidelined at all.
Seeing Chen Yuanming's calm expression, Xiao Yun sighed almost imperceptibly, the child's temperament was still so stable, it seemed that adults were always worrying about him. "Forget it, I don't understand the financial stuff, and I won't cause you any trouble. It's just that my sister-in-law is thinking about when to go home. It's been so long since the Lantern Festival, and you're still running outside every day, so you should catch your breath. The tone is…”
What he said was very sincere, and his good intentions could not be turned away. This time, Chen Yuanming simply nodded and agreed. After chatting for a few more minutes, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and Xiao Junyi walked in quickly with two secretaries.
"Uncle, Yuanming, I'm sorry, it's late to sort out the information." With a dashing wave, Xiao Junyi let someone put things on the table and smiled at Chen Yuanming, "Why, the people from Silicon Valley have just arrived to beckoned. , you can't let it go?"
"It's just that I suddenly thought of something, so I'm bothering you and Brother Xiao to come here." Chen Yuanming smiled and pointed to the machine in the middle of the table, "This thing is the original 'pen-tip computer' produced by GO Company?"
On the desktop is a computer display screen, which is two circles smaller than a 10-inch screen and about 3 cm thick. It looks like a laptop screen without a keyboard.
"Yeah." Xiao Junyi sighed and sat on the sofa, "I have to say, this thing is amazing, no one can believe that it was developed in the early 1990s. The engineers at Anxin were shocked. Tianren, they have demolished more than a few units, and it is still difficult to even imitate independently. The staff at GO Company are also a model of practical and dedicated work. It's a mess, people report materials for research every day, and the invoices are piled up."
Chen Yuanming smiled and asked back, "What about the function of the pen tip? Except for inputting this function with the electronic pen."
"The recognition system is not bad. It can perform simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, restore the input graphics to standard graphics, store documents, and do some spelling processing. It is said that this recognition system is very effective for Chinese, and Chinese fonts are often angular. It is clear, and the radicals are very different. According to the principle of five strokes, a new system can be easily made. This has already signed a cooperation agreement with the researchers at Wang Ma, and is working on the software system." Paused. After a while, Xiao Junyi frowned slightly, "But the biggest problem now is that this thing can't be miniaturized..."
Reaching out and picking up the tablet, he bumped it slightly, "This thing weighs almost 3 kilograms, and it still only has some simple computer functions. If you want to integrate a mobile phone, the changes you need are amazing. There are already people. It is recommended not to follow the idea of plugging into the mobile phone, and continue to follow the old way of improving the pen tip system. Some objective conditions cannot be solved by one or two manufacturers. Promoting the development of science and technology requires the joint efforts of the entire society, so products require too much The support of hardware manufacturers is not something that we can solve..."
"Has someone already suggested that?" Chen Yuanming was slightly surprised, and asked in return, "Anyone from GO or Anxin?"
"An old engineer in the Anxin department, who came from military communications, is very accomplished in this area of technological transformation. Why, do you agree with his opinion? You didn't say that mobile phones are the key to the future..." Xiao Junyi grasped it very keenly. the point of the words.
"Yeah, I got some inspiration recently, and suddenly I found out that the previous plan was a bit rash." Chen Yuanming smiled and turned to look at Xiao Yun who was sitting beside him, "Brother Xiao, how do you remember your number when you usually make a phone call? What about?"
Xiao Yunzheng listened very well, and was suddenly asked such a question, and replied a little puzzled, "Of course I remember the number? What else can I do? There is no way to save it in the mobile phone and PHS..."
"What if it's a relatively unpopular number that I don't call often?" Chen Yuanming asked again.
"Uh... You want to talk about the phone book, right?" Xiao Yun reached out and took out a small phone book in his pocket, "Now that I'm used to using the phone, it's really true. I can’t do without this stuff, and I don’t feel at ease when I go out without a book.”
Seeing the phone book, Chen Yuanming smiled, "Oh, it's old enough, it seems that Brother Xiao is also a frequent caller." He turned his head and looked at Xiao Junyi again, only to see that the other party shook his hand somewhat contentedly. There is a small book in it, which looks brand new and shiny, and it has a bit of style.
"It seems that everyone's habits are similar." Chen Yuanming smiled and shook his head, "Yes, if you have a phone, you should have a phone book, and you should have something like the Yellow Pages or business cards. Everyone has a time to forget things. , a good memory is not as good as a bad writing, especially this kind of major event related to social interaction. Is it an ordinary person who can use a mobile phone now? If you lose a number, you may lose a contact information, a huge transaction. It was only before Our thinking tends to be, how to put all these things written in the phone book into the phone, and now, it does not need to be so complicated."
Looking at Xiao Yun, who was a little curious, and Xiao Junyi, who was a little enlightened, Chen Yuanming paused for a while and opened up his mystery. "Actually, what we need most now is not a high-tech product like a pen tip, nor is it a violation of common sense to promote the research and development of mobile phones, but to take the middle value and make a simple and practical electronic product. To put it bluntly, it is a more A high-tech notepad, a small pocket phone book. The nib wasn't enough for us, it was too advanced."
This is another product that Chen Yuanming remembered at the prompt of PS1, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) personal digital processor, of course, many people call it "handheld computer".
(Anti-suction segmentation, end of this chapter)
The author has something to say: MP3 players, born in 1998, were pioneered by Samsung in South Korea, and flash memory was used at that time. By the time the iPod was born in 2001, hard disk storage was used.
Regarding PDA, in 1993, Apple, HP, GO, Sharp, Toshiba and other companies successively launched PDA products, but all of them were unsuccessful. In August 1994, Palm developed the prototype of a new generation of PDA, which was launched in April 1996. , at that time there were four built-in applications, including "Schedule Management", "Phone Book", "To-Do Management", "Notepad" and so on.
