"By the way, Brother Wan, there is one more thing I want to tell you. In the past month I have been in the United States, I have found that the cost of computers is constantly falling, and the prices are also falling very fast. The era of personal computers that I predicted has truly arrived.
The era of commercial computers is about to pass. This will have a big impact on all computer industries. I
I met Mr. Wan Lao and told him these things, but he still didn't seem to take it to heart. Speaking of which, I'm still an outsider and don't have enough weight. Your status in Wan'an Company is different now. Maybe
You and Brother Wanlie should have another talk with the old gentleman. If we start the transformation now, there should still be time!"
Even though the cost of computers has begun to drop, Wan'an, a stubborn old man, still believes that personal computers will not become the mainstream in the world. His reason is: Even if the price of computers drops to two thousand US dollars per unit, who will use this kind of computer?
What about the cold stuff?
But what he didn't know was that as the functions of chips became more and more powerful, the first computer games would soon appear. Not to mention children, even adults would be attracted by interesting computer games, and there would be various "
"Weird" software will also spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain. It can be said that these virtual products are beyond the imagination of ordinary people in this era.
However, the Wan'an Company in this life is also very different from Liu Lang's previous life. The Wan'an Company in the previous life was quickly eliminated under the impact of personal computers, without any ability to resist, but this time there are more
A Wan'an software technology development company, this company is similar to the one in the previous life
"Microsoft", and in terms of design capabilities at this time, I believe it is stronger than Microsoft. With this software company, even if Wanan Company will repeat the mistakes of its previous life, there will still be a chance of counterattack, even if
If Wan'an falls, this technology company will survive.
This is Liu Lang's layout, but no one has noticed his "painstaking efforts" until now, but soon everyone will know how far-sighted he is.
After listening to Liu Lang's words, Wan He couldn't help but nod. He and his eldest brother have also felt the decline in computer costs, but their sensitivity is still not as sharp as Liu Lang's. In their eyes, even if the cost has dropped, Wan'an Company is likely to
It will be impacted, but don't forget that today's Wan'an Company is a behemoth worth nearly 10 billion US dollars, second only to IBM in the computer industry. Could such a large company be unable to withstand a small impact?
If you look at those oil or automobile companies, you can get an obvious conclusion. For example, American automobile companies. Due to the rapid development of automobiles in island countries in the past ten years, half of the sales in the United States have been snatched away by island countries. Local automobile companies are also very
It was hard, but didn't they get through it? Although it can't be compared with before, at least there are signs of improvement. In the eyes of Wan'an and others, this pattern is obviously suitable for their company.
Of course, history has proven that their views are completely wrong. The development rules of traditional companies are completely unsuitable for high-tech companies, such as automobile companies. Even though the island country’s automobile industry has greatly impacted the U.S. market, local automobile companies are still
There will be a lot of orders, but the orders will be higher than before
It’s just less, because the advantages of the island country’s cars are only lower prices and lower fuel consumption. For ordinary people, this is very attractive, but for those rich people, this will not attract them at all. In their eyes, it is still Lauter.
Cars like Royce, Cadillac and Ford are my favorites.
But high-tech products are different. As long as the opponent comes up with a new product, everyone will immediately forget about the old product. Faced with a personal computer with good performance, beautiful appearance and design, and a much lower price, some people will still pay attention to it.
A commercial computer with low performance, bloated appearance, and ridiculously high price? Only a fool would buy the latter.
Therefore, the understanding of high-tech enterprises cannot be compared with traditional enterprises at all, so Liu Lang needs to remind the other party.
"Brother Wan, one more thing, I acquired a company in the United States!"
Liu Lang changed the topic.
"What? You acquired a company in the United States?"
Wanhe was startled.
"It's a computer special effects company. The chairman of this company is called George Lucas. Have you never heard of his name?"
"George Lucas? Come to think of it, he's the one who directed Star Wars, right?"
The movie Star Wars is very famous in the United States, not only for ordinary people, but also for tycoons like Wan An. After all, this movie pioneered super movie special effects, and anyone will be obsessed with it.
"Yes, this is the person. I went to his company to see it. Although their film special effects are ahead of other film companies, in my eyes they are still very crude. Real film special effects should be produced by computers. This is
It needs to involve a lot of powerful programs to support it. My opinion is that we want to recruit some young computer geniuses through Wan'an Company and apply our computers to computer special effects. By then, we will surely create countless amazing movies.
.”
"Using computer technology in movies?"
Wan He had never heard that computers could be used in film production, and found it a bit incredible, but he didn't think much about it. Liu Lang owned 30% of the shares of Wan'an Software Technology Co., Ltd., and these shares not only
They only have the right to share in the profits, as well as the right to appoint and remove relevant personnel. Of course, Liu Lang has never exercised these rights until now, but this does not prove that he has no rights.
"No problem, Liu Lang, you have more power in Wan'an Technology than me. Not to mention recruiting some people, there is no problem even if you transfer Chengxian and others to that company, you just have to pay attention to the method.
If they don’t want to, don’t force it!”
"Don't worry, I won't care about technology and talent. It's just that there are too few people who can program computers now. Even if they are recruited from universities, they may not be qualified for the current job. Only Wan'an Company has some mature people.
Talents, I will explain everything clearly. The premise is that they must like this job, and I will satisfy them in terms of salary... But there is no rush in this matter, I will take care of some things at hand.
I’ll make arrangements when I’m done!”
Liu Lang's goal is to make two movies before 1990. Movies like Toy Story and The Croods will definitely make everyone crazy. These movies are different from previous cartoons in that computers must be involved.
