Chapter 153 Technology, it should be played like this(1/2)
.
Investing in China has become a hot topic for several years since then.
People are surprised and incredible when talking about the low wage requirements of Chinese workers. Naturally, there are also labor groups that protest against such "unfair" competition in China and raise many objections.
However, chasing profits is the basic characteristic of capitalism.
Those big bosses and leaders of big companies will not care about what the workers think. As long as they can bring them more rewards, they will move their factories to China.
And this is also the best result that Xiao Qiang hopes to achieve.
But on October 1st, when he sold China to the United States and the world through Time magazine, he didn't know how effective it would be.
It is precisely because of this that he exaggerated the number of college students who graduated every year in the interview.
In the 1990s, there were about 20 to 300,000 graduates every year, and there was no way to describe the "extremely large" number. However, Xiao Qiang understood that since the early 1990s, the employment situation of college students was very unsatisfactory.
Many large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises are in the downstream in competition. Although they have begun to learn from the world's example, focus on technology, technological transformation of production lines, and industrial upgrading, it is a long process.
During this pain period, a large number of workers were idle. The factories did not start work and they did little. They also had nothing to do.
Their salary is always arrears. They are all young and need income to live.
A large number of people set up stalls and do business. The word "going to the sea" has become the most mentioned word in the past year.
People hope to be stable and go to Haiti to make a lot of money. But more likely, business is bleak and money is lost.
Xiao Qiang hopes that through the world's investment in China, he can build a number of more enterprises and get more people back to employment. As an individual, he can make too little effort. As an enterprise, it is impossible for the world to absorb all idle people.
He could only pray secretly that there would be more companies and enterprises going to China...
At the same time, in order to strive for better support for the Chinese people, he also made a significant increase in wages for workers.
Times sent a huge inspection team to the site. After arriving in China, the information obtained surprised all the businesses: the average salary of urban and urban areas in China is only more than 100 yuan, less than 200 yuan!
A few dozen dollars!
This means that they can save workers' wages from a certain process of production at will.
Therefore, starting from the early 1990s, a major industrial transfer that has been deployed in China and seized the opportunity has begun around the world.
They first gradually expanded from the Pearl River Delta area with more complete transportation facilities to the Yangtze River Basin. When the wage level along the coast began to rise, the various supporting facilities in the mainland were basically improved.
In line with the world's investment in China, a domestic slogan is also circulating quickly: If you want to be rich, build roads first.
This time, the transformation of a large-scale industrial transformation in human history lasted for more than ten years.
Many foreign companies, through Chinese workers, have made huge excess profits, and some have even jumped into world-class top companies and become giants in the industries they operate.
The domestic employment pressure has also been relieved to a certain extent, creating favorable conditions for the rapid transformation of the domestic economy and increasing people's local income.
However, these are things that will happen in the future.
On October 1st, when Xiao Qiang was interviewed by Times, Microsoft held a press conference at the City Theater of New York this year for the third time.
The first place to display is Microsoft's newly launched desktop operating system "viewwindows", all the people who participated in the press conference knew very well that this was just a revamp of Microsoft's Universal View operating system.
However, the reporters still saw a unique feature from the boot screen. In the boot screen, the place where it appears is no longer just Microsoft's floating window pattern, but in front of it, there is a tender earth in the sky.
It seems that the pattern of the earth is like an arrow leading the window software toward a more glorious tomorrow.
Although such a logo just puts together the logos of the two companies. But at this moment, it vividly shows who is the real boss in the operating system.
Bill may also know that it is difficult to convince the public if he turns his hands and says Shang Huanyu’s view as his own product.
Therefore, he did not talk about the interface, the layout, etc., but turned to one of the biggest feature of this operating system, "multimedia"!
multimedia?
When the media reporters heard this word, they were stunned.
The term multimedia was vigorously recommended in the early stage when Internet service companies secretly sold land.
However, after buying back, most of these users found that their computers were not smooth when running these programs.
When the sound is played back, it is played back through the computer speaker, and you want to monotonically: the picture is played back, which is unsatisfactory: the FLSH playback, so you can only describe it as a "slag".
At this time, the computer is still mainly used for word processing. The so-called display device is to integrate a display chip on the motherboard.
The sound output was only in 1989. An innovative company launched a "sound driver card", which finally made the computer leave the speaker and make the sound, which was low and weak and harsh.
There is no concept of multimedia in the brains of computer users.
Therefore, many people feel that they are local, but because of the excellent design of this software, they do not complain loudly.
Now, Microsoft wants to use another set as a gimmick. Is it still useful?
Seeing the reporters attending the product demonstration, Bill proudly asked the demonstration to be performed on the spot.
A staff member sent a CD into the CD drive. He moved the mouse, called out the Explorer, found the CD drive, and copied the files from one of the directories to the computer hard drive.
In fact, this process can be completed long before the demonstration meeting.
But using the resource manager to manage the various drives and directories of the computer. This is an unprecedented innovation. Bill was reluctant to skip it. So he took advantage of the demonstration performance opportunity to perform to the reporters here.
These reporters also knew very well his intentions.
But this function is so convenient and so popular. Therefore, the reporters just chuckled a few times and said nothing.
On the large projection screen, reporters can clearly see. Click the file with the mouse and start the operating system's audio player. There are several songs inside, including black rap, rock and country tree music.
Through the external power amplifier, beautiful music flows in the venue.
The reporters applauded politely, but did not express more.
The same is true for the animation replay. This is a new cartoon "Swan Lake". The reporters were all interested in watching it, and all their emotions were devoted to the plot.
As for the performance of the software, no one has hope.
Bill smiled secretly when he saw everyone's performance. This is Xiao Qiang's cleverness. How could he not know what the demonstration effect is. The contrast between the effect and the user's actual use will bring about what kind of emotional rebound.
In fact, Xiao Qiang had already been prepared!
Bill was also a little grateful that he was not trapped in seeing multimedia technology. It was not as powerful as the sales staff boasted that the operating system was just Alice. Instead, he chose to cooperate wisely.
Otherwise, when Xiao Qiang took out his killer copper, he might have no room for recovery.
When the cartoon was watched, the reporters burst into tears. This cartoon was so beautiful and touching that it should be brought to the screen, rather than simply becoming a demonstration screen because of insufficient performance of the computer.
They gathered together and had a radiant discussion on the plot. The product launch conference had become a gathering place. Everyone was not interested in Microsoft's fried chen rice. If it weren't for Microsoft's good public relations, many people wouldn't even want to come.
Bill stood next to the computer with great care, and waited until the reporters had almost finished their discussion, and he also wanted to
Realizing that this was too rude to the owner, I gradually calmed down and said with a smile: "How do you feel about multimedia? Are you very proud of it? To be honest, when I saw the demo screen for the first time, I was also shocked. However, after you used it yourself, you also felt that you could not achieve the effect of this demonstration at home?"
The reporters are all smart.
They started. Because Microsoft just wanted to tell the American people that this software has been a Microsoft product since then, so they held this product launch conference. Everyone came to support the audience out of courtesy.
But when he heard Bill's meaningful question, many people suddenly thought that Bill must have another secret weapon, as the finale of this product launch!
Bill made a gesture and asked the staff to bring out two boxes.
The reporters rushed forward to see what it was. The people behind were blocked by their heads and couldn't see clearly, but the people in the front row saw the world logo on the box at a glance.
"Is it produced by Huanyu again?" A reporter was amazed.
As the country with the strongest national strength in the world, the American people are proud. They are used to it. The products of their own country are the best, and everyone learns from them.
Trying to launch the operating system has caused complaints. Fortunately, Microsoft stepped forward, sacrificed itself, abandoned all three years of hard work, and adopted a way to cooperate with the world to master their key core programs.
Now that we see that Universal is still launching new products in a steady stream of attempts to occupy the US market, these patriots feel angry.
Bill knew how the reporters would react before the press conference.
He was not busy with the explanation, but first explained the functions and performance of these two products in detail.
The first product is a sound card.
Compared with the first generation of innovative products launched, it is a sixteen-digit sound card.
The innovative soundbar card is only "making the computer speak", the richness of tone, the roundness, and the imitation of various sounds.
However, this sound card launched by Universal Company uses sixteen-digit plural sounds, which has achieved a very good synthesis effect on human voices, firearms, and electronic music.
But the reason why such outstanding performance is also the solidified wave table library on the sound card.
Both the operating system and sound card are from the world. How to maximize the performance of the driver and combine the two to the best is naturally not a problem. This is the main reason why some people have purchased sound bar cards, but the effect is still not very ideal.
As soon as the reporters heard the sound card introduced by Bill, they immediately heard the string song and felt elegant.
The place in the other box is naturally a video card!
As they guessed, the box was a video card. However, this video card is also an independent graphics card.
The Universal View operating system can show superior performance during demonstration and shine in multimedia, in addition to the performance of the software itself. These two hardware cards are the most important contributions.
Its greatest achievement is that it frees the burden of the CPU processor and hands the audio, video, and graphics data to a special processor for processing. The 386 computer, which is originally weak in performance, can also run under the effects of multimedia. As for 486, it can basically solve complex multimedia playback successfully.
This is not simply a matter of independence of sound and video, but an epoch-making innovation. Its appearance represents the arrival of the real multimedia era!
In order to launch this set of attached equipment, Xiao Qiang Hsiao purchased the copyright of many cartoons from Disney Company for a high price. He used software to promote hardware, accelerated the hardware standards of Universal Corporation and became a standard accessory for computers.
Bill’s offer for these two hardware devices made reporters start to feel excited: sound cards are only sold at 99 US dollars: graphics cards are slightly more expensive because they integrate video playback functions and image display. Two hundred and ninety-nine dollars!
