The news that Ni Guangnan joined Infinite Company quickly spread like wildfire, and some academic journals and magazines focused on the matter.

After all, he is definitely the most authoritative expert in the computer field in this era. How could he not cause a sensation if he joins a private company now?

Even the computer stocks in the stock market were moved by the trend, and the long-awaited daily limit surge appeared again, leading the Shanghai Composite Index to rebound significantly.

Lenovo has once again attracted the attention of the world.

Liu Chuanzhi remained silent on this matter and did not express any opinions.

Many people don’t know that Lenovo was originally a state-owned enterprise affiliated with the Institute of Computer Science and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

At that time, the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences invested 200,000 yuan, and Liu Chuanzhi led a dozen employees of the Institute of Computer Science to establish the New Technology Development Company of the Institute of Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (the predecessor of Lenovo).

These are the first batch of scientific researchers to go to sea.

The spring river water warm duck prophet, the wave of gold mining in the sea is rolling in, and scientific researchers cannot resist this temptation, and they have begun to enter the business world.

At that time, the director of the Computer Laboratory also decided that the company could recruit personnel from the Computer Laboratory without restrictions, and could also return any unsuitable person to the Computer Laboratory.

What's even more amazing is that all people in the company can retain the establishment of the computing office, have their salaries paid by Huaxia Finance, and enjoy the right to continue to be promoted within the computing office.

If this were placed decades later, it would be absolutely unimaginable.

Your fucking business is still tied up with a formality.

But at that time, this was what happened.

To do scientific research, you need to make breakthroughs, and to build a company, you need to make money.

In the beginning, Liu Chuanzhi and others racked their brains in order to make money, running around like headless flies all day long.

I saw other people doing wholesale business and worked as a "traitor" for a while.

Specializing in reselling electronic watches, roller skates, big pants and refrigerators.

This is also the lowest cost and fastest way to make money.

Once, color TVs became a hot commodity. Liu Chuanzhi found out that a woman in another place had a large number of color TVs, so he decided to buy one.

Liu Chuanzhi was extremely excited. He told his employees that they must see the color TV with their own eyes before transferring money.

The passionate employee told him excitedly, I saw it! I saw it! I saw the big boxes of color TVs in the warehouse!

Unexpectedly, as soon as they transferred the money, the other party rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and disappeared without a trace. The boxes in the warehouse were completely empty!

After calculating the 200,000 given, he was defrauded of 140,000 in an instant!

Liu Chuanzhi was struck by thunder and was about to cry without tears. In the end, they could only use the remaining funds to choose a direction for a comeback and put all their money on the line.

Finally, they found Ni Guangnan, who worked in a computer lab, because he had something that would change the market and subvert the industry - the associative Chinese character system.

At that time, China had about 110,000 personal computers, almost all of which were from IBM and could only run in the English environment.

Without a certain foundation in English, ordinary people cannot use computers at all.

Ni Guangnan's Chinese character system, also called Hanka, can convert all English into Chinese characters.

When Liu Chuanzhi saw Ni Guangnan's Hanka, his eyes gleamed, and he immediately found him and asked for cooperation.

However, Ni Guangnan did not dislike him at all.

It turned out that he had already handed over the lx-80 Hanka to several companies such as Jingcheng Xintong and South China Aviation Technology, and was ready to sell them at a price, and he would cooperate with whoever sold the most.

When it comes to eloquence, Liu Chuanzhi can be said to be unbridled and unbridled. They are all doing business, so who is afraid of whom?

He talked endlessly, and then made it final, saying that his mission was to realize Ni Guangnan’s dream, and to ensure that all of Ni’s research results would be turned into products!

From this, Liu and Ni hit it off immediately, and Lenovo's technical core was born.

Later, Liu Chuanzhi still felt that the profits of Hanka were not huge enough, so he decided to import foreign computers, plug in Hanka and start selling them, reaping the profits of the entire company.

It turned out to be a hit, with sales reaching 17.5 million yuan in the first year and soaring to 73.45 million yuan in the second year.

In 1987, one can imagine what this number meant.

However, this was far from satisfying Liu Chuanzhi's ambition.

The brand ast is an American company founded by two people from Hong Kong and a Pakistani. These three people combined the first English letters of their names to form ast.

In 1982, AST produced the first batch of computer motherboards, which were suitable for IBM microcomputers and various compatible machines.

In 1988, Lenovo signed a US$1 million contract with AST to purchase 3,000 machines for domestic and overseas markets.

Liu Chuanzhi's ambition is to follow AST's path and develop computer boards, step by step, and then replace them.

Later, in a narrow laboratory in Xiangjiang, Ni Guangnan finally developed Lenovo's generation-changing product - the 286 prototype.

Tested using speed measurement software, the computing speed was 1.7 times that of the fastest one on the Chinese market at the time (AST 286). This made the Lenovo 286 motherboard a best-seller at the Hannover Technology Show in Germany.

With this move, the Lenovo brand has successfully entered the international market.

At this time, Lenovo still had technology and was once the most popular technology company in China.

However, the overall scientific research team still relies on researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences headed by Ni Guangnan.

For example, some of the key businesses are directly provided by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

At that time, Lenovo could not only use the research results of the Institute of Computing for free, but could also use the offices, telephones and all resources of the institute.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences holds 29% of Lenovo's shares but does not have a veto power.

This also laid hidden dangers for the future, leading to the loss of control over Lenovo.

The relationship between the two is very complicated.

So sometimes, it is not difficult for people to imagine why Lenovo always remains standing.

And in this time and space, there will always be some inexplicable people who appear to break this original trajectory...

After Ni Guangnan joined Infinity, he established a complete chip design team through his personal network resources, most of which were graduate students from Beijing universities.

The reason why it went so smoothly was that, in addition to Ni Guangnan's signature, the salary offered to them by Chen Jie was also one of the important factors.

Once the salary reaches a certain level, what does the establishment count?

All of them signed confidentiality agreements before they were allowed to use the company's equipment.

And when they saw those precision instruments, they were as shocked as when a nuclear bomb exploded or the United States landed on the moon.

Because there are many machines in the factory that even they, the leaders in the professional field, do not know how to use, and they don't even know how to turn them on.

This made Ni Guangnan very embarrassed.

I'm still a graduate student here.

But when he saw those machines with his own eyes, he didn't say anything.

A machining center with a fully automatic tool magazine, a five-axis CNC machine tool, a laser positioning interferometer... There is simply no such advanced stuff in China.

I have never seen it before, let alone programming product parts.

And they didn't dare to mess with it casually. I heard that a machine cost at least several million dollars, or even tens of millions, and they couldn't afford to pay for it if it broke.

You can't buy it even if you have money.

Finally, Ni Guangnan came forward.

Shamelessly, let me ask Professor Kruger. He is the only person in the entire park, and possibly in the entire China, who can drive these machines.
Chapter completed!
