The state and Wanan Company have reached a series of agreements, which means that in the next ten years, Wanan Company will be the cooperative unit for the Chinese government's computer procurement. In other words, in the next ten years, all government computers in China will be Wanan computers.
How big a share is this? The initial estimate is 200,000 units.
Wanan Company's current sales volume of the "Pentium" series reaches 15,000 units a year. Although the sales volume of commercial computers is shrinking year by year, there are still several thousand units per year at this stage. The total annual sales volume is close to 20,000 units.
Two hundred thousand units is equivalent to the total output of Wanan Company in the current ten years, and the order is as high as 400 million US dollars. This is the price of purchasing a computer. If you include software upgrades and other follow-up services, the total price will exceed 500 million US dollars. It is Wanan's
The largest order in the company's history.
This order makes IBM, Apple, and Microsoft in the United States jealous. It is not only a matter of money, but also involves a subsequent upgrade of services. Once Wan'an takes root in China, then
It will be difficult for other companies to enter in the future, because when Wanan computers become popular across the country, people's living habits will also be "dominated" by Wanan Company. No matter how good other companies' computers are, they want to make thousands of
It also costs a lot of money for people to change their previous living habits.
In the previous life, this was how Microsoft's software dominated the domestic market. They allowed domestic computers to use pirated software. As a result, 99% of domestic personal computers used Microsoft's Word system. At the same time, they also upgraded you on time. Performance
Put on a kind face.
A few years later, Microsoft filed patent compensation against China, telling the country that it would cost money to use Microsoft software from now on. The annual patent royalties on software and chips amount to tens of billions of dollars.
As a result, the country was dumbfounded because at this time, 99% of the computers in the country were equipped with Microsoft software and Intel chips. People were already used to it. If you switch to other software and chips, let’s not talk about whether you have it or not.
Corresponding alternatives are available, but the cost of replacement is astronomical, far higher than the patent fees paid to others, and may lead to paralysis of the government. There is no other way, the country can only pay.
Later, many experts developed software with performance as good as Microsoft's, but it could not be popularized across the country, so they had to give up in the end. Only a handful of core government departments would use domestic software and chips, but this also involves computer systems without external sources.
Compatibility and a series of other issues are very costly.
Now Wan'an Company has also begun to follow the path of Microsoft in its previous life, but there is one thing. SMIC is involved. The two parties jointly develop software for Chinese users. Now SMIC's technology may not be comparable to that of the other party, but in the future
What? It may not be inferior to the other party.
China has now begun to cultivate its own computer talents, and has also formulated a national computer industry development plan for the next ten years, elevating the development of the chip and computer industry to a national strategic position. This means that in this world, the country's importance to computers
This understanding is at least ten years earlier than in the previous life, and it is in the early stages of the development of the chip industry. The gap with foreign countries is not big. As long as we keep up with the world's advanced level, our future results will not be bad, and we will never be better.
I will be manipulated by others just like in my previous life.
The country is determined to expand its chip industry. As a leading company, SMIC must first develop its own lithography machine. Moreover, the latest generation of lithography machine has already taken shape and will appear at exhibitions, not for sales.
, is to show one's own strength.
With SMIC's scientific and technological capabilities, it is still unable to completely manufacture lithography machines independently. The internal structure of the first-generation domestic molecular laser lithography machine is still copied from the lithography machine in the original island country's wafer production line. However, this is enough to show that China already has the ability.
Have a place in the top technology field.
"Microscope No. 1" is the name of the country's first-generation lithography machine. When Fang Zhongda's secretary put the relevant information in front of Liu Lang, Liu Lang knew that SMIC had begun to develop lithography machines and had obtained some
score.
This lithography machine will also be displayed at the exhibition as an achievement of the country’s ten years of reform and opening up.
Although Liu Lang felt that doing so would arouse the vigilance of Western countries and create some difficulties for the development of the country's chip industry, he did not warn that in this life, no matter how difficult it is, can the country's chip industry be as difficult as in the previous life? Even if it will be difficult in the future
There are many difficulties, but it must be much stronger than the previous life, and through vigorous publicity, I believe many people will be aware of computers and chips earlier, thereby cultivating more professional talents. This will do more good than harm.
The meeting lasted all morning and did not end until after 11 noon. Liu Lang participated in the whole process and had a clearer understanding of the current national economic development situation.
Of course, most of these matters have nothing to do with Liu Lang. He only cares about the Fucheng Industrial Zone. Fang Zhongda reiterated to the ministers very seriously at the meeting that he would do everything possible to help Liu Lang handle this matter. Whoever
Whoever fails to cooperate will bear responsibility. Fang Zhongda hopes to see great changes in Fucheng on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of reform and opening up.
After attending the high-level meeting, Liu Lang's affairs in the capital were all completed. He returned to the country at the beginning of August. It was already mid-August. His parents had left the capital and returned to Fucheng a few days ago.
The two of them also visited Xiao Nansheng when passing by Shencheng.
Liu Lang hadn't visited Mr. Xiao for half a year. On their way back to Fucheng, he, Wang Zhendong, and Sun Hu stopped by Shencheng and had a meal with Mr. Xiao's family before returning to his hometown.
In the same half year, the capital has changed a lot, and many high-rise buildings have been built. However, in Fucheng, half a year seems to have stood still, with almost no changes. There are still low-rise houses everywhere. Only two roads in the main city have changed from half a year to
The dirt road in front of the city has been turned into an asphalt road, and the cost of road construction is still paid by the state. Although the urban construction facilities have not changed, there are more trucks on the road, and many of them still have Shenyang license plates.
Three months ago, Fucheng was listed as a national industrial zone and suddenly became the center of attention.
As a special zone, even if it is an industrial zone, it is at the national level. Fucheng's importance in Liaobei Province has suddenly increased a lot. First, the level has improved. Fucheng's Machinery Bureau has been upgraded to the sub-municipal level.
The director of the bureau is equivalent to the deputy mayor, and it belongs to a separate national department, directly under the Ministry of Industry, and does not even have jurisdiction over the provincial industry department.
Fucheng started with coal. Fucheng Mining Bureau itself is directly under the Ministry of Coal. Now there is a Machinery Bureau. This kind of treatment is second only to Shenzhen City and Lianhai City in Northern Liaoning Province. These two cities are
Sub-provincial city.
The increase in rank and treatment shows that it has been taken seriously. In the past two months, the officials of Northern Liaoning Province have visited Fucheng several times to understand the local industrial situation. However, they know that what the government is doing now is very simple, which is to
The industrial situation has been clearly investigated, and the specific work will have to wait until Liu Lang returns. He is the focus of the industrial zone.
