After looking at the progress of Huaxin Technology, Li Jianhui went to the temporary office area of Phoenix Group to learn about the progress of operating system research and development.
In the system research and development conference room, Li Jianhui said: "Don't relax in terms of research and development. Although our office area and production area are still under intensive construction, the preliminary research and development work will not be affected.
Time waits for no one. Our opponent's first personal computer has already been put on the market. If our products are delayed and the other party's products are tested and recognized by the market, it will be much more difficult for us to seize the market in the future."
"Please rest assured, Li Sheng, our operating system Phoenix S1 is currently progressing according to the node. We guarantee to complete the preliminary research and development and testing work before the end of the year, and will not delay the launch of Phoenix's first-generation personal computer FH1 on New Year's Day next year."
Listening to the words of the general manager of the operating system R&D department, Li Jianhui was relieved. In this era when computer operating systems have only been around for a few years, the technical threshold is actually not very high, and there are not so many technical barriers.
It is not difficult to develop an operating system now. What is difficult is how to launch the operating system into the market so that the market can recognize it.
In this regard, Phoenix OS does not need to worry. Unlike Microsoft, the group where Phoenix OS is located will directly produce computers and bundle them with Phoenix OS, so there is no need to worry about lack of channels.
This is also the advantage of large groups and even large financial groups. Unlike those who start from scratch, these comprehensive groups have far better financial resources and channels than those who start from scratch.
The so-called class-solidified capital monopoly is also due to this. In traditional industries, without capital as a backer, it is difficult for newcomers to stand out. After all, newcomers have no advantage over them.
For example, today's finance, real estate, retail, shipping, film and television and other industries are basically monopolized by the five major consortiums. It is difficult for the younger generation to make a difference in these industries.
It is still possible for a small wealthy family to start a business in these industries, but it is basically impossible to achieve the achievements of Li Jianhui, Li Zhaoji, Bao Yugang and others.
If these young people at the bottom want to enter the upper class, they must first go out of Hong Kong and invest and start businesses in emerging markets, such as the newly opened mainland.
The other is to enter these emerging industries that capital does not pay much attention to, such as electronic semiconductors, the Internet, etc.
Moreover, what makes it more difficult for these young people in Hong Kong than those in Europe and the United States is that there is a guy here who has foresight. In the market of Xiangjiang, many emerging industries will inevitably be monopolized by him, such as operating systems, portals, chat software, e-commerce platforms, game platforms, etc.
, once these Xinjian systems are involved, it is difficult for others to have a chance.
The IBM5150 is already on the market, and the Phoenix FH1 will not go on sale until New Year's Day next year at the earliest. Li Jianhui will naturally come up with something eye-catching to compete with IBM for the market.
Due to technical reasons, FH1 cannot compare with IBM in terms of hardware, but it is a major advantage of Phoenix Group in terms of software.
Especially for the operating system, Li Jianhui directly came up with the idea of a graphical interface that Microsoft would not release in a few years.
In terms of office software, with the foresight of Li Jianhui, the development of Phoenix office software has been quite smooth, and its functions are much better than Microsoft's.
In terms of computers and software, Li Jianhui's subsidiaries are also involved in these. The first is CPU, which is the Huaxin 200 currently being developed by Huaxin Group.
The second is the display, which is also the responsibility of the Display/Display Business Department of Huaxin Technology Group.
The third is the operating system, and the fourth is office software. Phoenix Group is responsible for these.
As for the graphics card, sound card, memory, optical drive, keyboard/mouse, etc., they are handled by technology companies such as East Asia, Xinhui, and Guanghua.
Compared with Li Jianhui's work on the core operating systems and central processing units, it is undoubtedly much easier for technology companies such as East Asia and Guanghua to enter the industry.
As long as Huaxin Technology and Phoenix Technology can complete development and testing before the end of the year, Phoenix FH1 will be able to go on sale on New Year's Day next year.
After the meeting, Li Jianhui specifically stayed with Huang Guangxing and asked about the construction status of the Phoenix Science and Technology Park in the North District.
"Li Sheng, the Phoenix Science and Technology Park is currently being constructed by Wheelock Land, Guanghua Construction, Chinese Real Estate, and Kowloon Construction. Construction companies are working overtime. If there are no accidents, the construction of the building will be completed by the end of June, and the interior work will begin in July.
During the renovation, the equipment will enter the factory in September and will be officially put into use in October. Along with this, our staff dormitory area will be used.
Considering providing a comfortable living environment for researchers, we teamed up with East Asia, Guanghua and other companies to build a high-quality community."
This is why Li Jianhui was so wealthy last year that he took 300 hectares of land from the government in one go, and then he dared to build high-quality employee dormitories for these researchers in the park.
In this era, the price of every inch of land in Xiangjiang may be a bit exaggerated, but it is an indisputable fact that prices continue to hit new highs. Every inch of land held by major companies is very valuable.
Don’t be surprised to hear that the floor area ratio of properties developed in Xiangjiang is close to 6, 8 or even 10. This is the normal state of real estate development in Xiangjiang.
On the contrary, not many high-quality residential communities with a floor area ratio of less than 2 are developed every year. Li Jianhui's decision to allow researchers to build employee communities with this standard is definitely the first of its kind in Hong Kong. Before this, there was absolutely no company that offered such a luxury.
Establish dormitories for employees.
Even the R&D personnel in Huaxin Science and Technology Park and Tianshui Industrial Park are very envious of this. Fortunately, Li Jianhui did not favor one over the other. The two places have also issued news that in the second half of this year, they will establish an establishment for researchers in the two major parks.
New dormitory area.
Although these two places are not built in the park, they are both not far from the park, which will not affect the work of these researchers.
It can be said that Li Jianhui put in a lot of effort so that these elites invited from all over the world can work happily.
Li Jianhui not only solves the housing problem for them, but also solves the work problem for them as long as they are married and their significant other is willing to come to Xiangjiang. Li Jianhui will also make appropriate arrangements for the schooling of children.
"Guangxing, after the establishment of Phoenix Science and Technology Park, the main focus of Phoenix Group will still be operating systems and office software. You should also focus on these."
Huang Guangxing naturally knows where his focus is, and he also knows that Phoenix Technology will inevitably be split up, but he doesn't know exactly when.
Even the Phoenix FH1 is only temporarily named. Maybe when it is officially launched for sale, the computer will be named after the new group.
Tian Haichuan has been in Western Europe for the past few months, otherwise he would not care about the progress of Phoenix Science and Technology Park.
Don't look at it. It's called Phoenix Technology Park now. It's just like Phoenix Computer. Maybe it will change its name at some point. Just like the current Huaxin Technology Park, its previous name was Huihong Industrial Park.
As Phoenix Technology, which is mainly engaged in software research and development, it is actually not necessary to enter Phoenix Technology Park. As long as there is an office building, you can do research anywhere. Phoenix Technology Park is mainly engaged in computer assembly and the production of various components.
Li Jianhui just told Huang Guangxing not to shift priorities. As long as Tian Haichuan successfully obtains mobile communication technology and mobile phone technology, he will establish Huahong Technology Group, and computer assembly and other businesses will be transferred there and put on the market.
The computer will belong to Huahong's brand, and the specific naming will be determined by Huahong Group.
