Chapter 491 Reporting on Chip and Operating System Research Achievements in Beijing
After saying goodbye to Xia Deqing, Qi Tongwei went to Pengcheng Qiyuan Company.
"Tongwei, take a look and see what other areas are still lacking!"
Upon arriving at Pengcheng Qiyuan Company, Zhuang Wenbin immediately led Qi Tongwei to his office.
Then they brought over several laptops, desktops, and CD-ROM + Flash dual-media software for office work, browsers, media playback, chat software, finance, medicine, databases, CAD/CAE/CAPP, DCS/PLC configuration, ERP, PMS, etc.
"Okay, let me take a look!"
Qi Tongwei began by inspecting the software packaging and media, and then checked the packaging and physical components of the CPU, operating system, and motherboard.
Next, start up the laptop and desktop computer and check the basic functions, including office software, browsers, media players, chat software, system stores, and other basic software and functions.
Then, Qi Tongwei installed software such as finance, medicine, database, CAD/CAE/CAPP, DCS/PLC configuration, ERP, and PMS on-site and checked the software's functionality.
The original plan was to pre-install these professional software programs, but the computer's memory and hard drive capacity are only the standard ones on the market, making it impossible to pre-install all of them.
Because these specialized software programs take up a lot of memory and hard drive space.
Therefore, apart from the basic software, all other software is placed in the system store.
However, the CD-ROM + Flash dual-media versions of software such as finance, medicine, database, CAD/CAE/CAPP, DCS/PLC configuration, ERP, and PMS are only for promotion and on-site demonstration.
In actual use, you only need to add memory and hard drive space, and then download it directly from the system store.
Next, Qi Tongwei installed two popular games, "Red Alert" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy," to check their smoothness.
Qi Tongwei was quite satisfied after the examination; it was already remarkable that the machine could be basically usable after eight or nine months.
"Generally speaking, it's okay, but there are some problems."
Firstly, regarding basic software, the download speed from the system store is somewhat slow and needs improvement.
The messaging function in the chat software is a bit laggy and needs further improvement.
You should know that the internet in ordinary people's homes is just a regular internet connection, unlike the dedicated network in our company which is much faster.
To speed up our self-developed browser, we need to bring it to the desktop as soon as possible to replace Navigator. Over time, users will get used to it.
If we replace it later, users will have complaints.
In terms of professional software, the basic functions are in place, but further improvements are still needed.
Since these companies are willing to cooperate, we will engage in deeper cooperation and provide strong support.
Regarding games, the two ported games need further optimization, while the development of new games should be accelerated.
We should provide support where it's needed, but we don't need to do everything.
What we're doing is building a platform; all we need to do is bring them a large number of users and market share.
We will provide them with some financial support in the initial stages.
Qi Tongwei explained the findings of the examination.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Zhuang Wenbin nodded, then arranged for someone to move the things away, and called over the head of the R&D department to explain Qi Tongwei's requirements to him.
Then the two of them sat down on the sofa.
"After the product is released and goes on sale, what are your thoughts on sales?"
Zhuang Wenbin asked.
The next step is to go to Beijing to report, and then release the product at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair.
"Let's talk about the announcement first. We're preparing to hold one in the country as well."
"The national inspection will definitely require us to do it this way."
The government will definitely attach great importance to self-developed CPUs, operating systems, and supporting motherboards, and will promote them extensively.
"Ok."
Zhuang Wenbin nodded.
"Our primary goal is to quickly build an ecosystem, so we can license CPUs, motherboards, and motherboard chips overseas as needed, charging only a small licensing fee."
We can get overseas motherboard manufacturers to supply us after obtaining our authorization, so as to accelerate overseas promotion and sales.
However, you must use our self-developed motherboard chipset or a licensed motherboard chipset.
Domestically, we sell complete systems ourselves while supplying kits to computer companies and the assembled PC market, and we also open directly operated stores in provincial capitals across the country where there is high foot traffic.
Of course, we also supply complete machines to wholesalers or computer stores in various regions, sourcing them from specialty stores in provincial capitals.
This approach can be adopted overseas as well.
Then there are the production bases. The production base in Pengcheng mainly supplies overseas markets, while the production base in Xichun County supplies domestic markets.
The factory in Xichun County is already under construction, and the equipment will be moved there soon.
Qi Tongwei explained the sales arrangements.
"Ok."
Zhuang Wenbin nodded.
"The Xichun Square project is still under review by the city and province authorities, and it won't be approved anytime soon."
However, you need to prepare funds in advance, such as 5 million or 6000 million US dollars.
It can be replicated nationwide, and hundreds of such facilities could be built in the future, with a value of hundreds of billions or even trillions.
"Opening a specialty store and an internet cafe in Xichun Plaza will further enhance our brand awareness and boost sales."
Qi Tongwei said.
Once the city and province approve the plan, Xichun County will immediately establish relevant enterprises and allow shareholders to invest their money.
"Ok!"
Zhuang Wenbin nodded.
The next day, Qi Tongwei and Zhuang Wenbin took their supplies to Beijing, reported to their superiors, and gave a live demonstration.
"Great! Our country has finally developed its own chips and operating system."
This is a groundbreaking product of extraordinary significance.
With these, our country can be considered a nation that has mastered chips and operating systems, and our core computer industry no longer needs to rely on foreign countries...
Go and report this to the Ministry of Electronics Industry!
After the report, proceed with the planned release and market launch.
For the domestic market, Hong Kong Company shouldn't handle it personally; let's set up a joint venture to take charge.
Purchase and stockpile as much core computer-related equipment as possible, then build factories in China, conduct domestic research while producing, and achieve self-developed substitution as soon as possible.
"Xiao Qi, you shouldn't show your face. You're a government official; your appearance will alert the West."
After hearing the report and watching the demonstration, the leader praised him.
The leaders also considered having it tested and verified by the state first, and then promoting it extensively.
However, this would alert the West and lead to fierce suppression, causing the hard-won chips, operating systems, and supporting motherboards to fail prematurely.
Moreover, it will also affect Project 909's acquisition of small European factories and slow down research on domestic substitution.
We must sneak into the village.
"Thank you, leader. This is all thanks to your correct leadership and strong support!"
We will definitely follow your instructions strictly.
The two nodded happily.
The greatest reward for them is the approval of the leaders. With the leaders' instructions, there's no need to hold press conferences in China.
The press conference in Hong Kong no longer needs to wait for arrangements from the government.
Subsequently, the two brought their belongings to the Ministry of Electronics Industry, stating that they were there to report on the research and development of chips and operating systems as instructed by their superiors.
Minister Wang Wenbin of the Ministry of Electronics Industry personally received them, listened to their report, and watched their demonstration.
The leader has already given prior notice, so he will definitely take it seriously.
Normally, Qi Tongwei and Zhuang Wenbin should have reported their chip and operating system research and development in Hong Kong and Shenzhen to the ministry much earlier.
But his supervisor had already spoken to him about this matter.
The leadership was worried that reporting to the Ministry of Electronics Industry too early might affect the research and development work, so before the research and development was successful, Qi Tongwei and Zhuang Wenbin only reported to the leadership directly.
"Comrades Qi Tongwei and Zhuang Wenbin, thank you for your hard work... The ministry will remember your contributions!"
Wang Wenbin said.
Qi Tongwei and Zhuang Wenbin's successful development of chips and operating systems will break the foreign monopoly in these fields.
"Thank you, Minister. This is what we should do, and it is all thanks to the correct leadership and strong support of the country."
Qi Tongwei and Zhuang Wenbin quickly said.
"Send another batch of items. The ministry will report to the institute later and then organize experts to conduct inspections and verifications."
Leave your contact information; you'll be attending too.
Wang Wenbin asked Qi Tongwei and Zhuang Wenbin to send another batch of goods and left their contact information.
"Okay, Minister!"
The two nodded.
The two left the electronics department and immediately had Pengcheng Company send over a batch of goods.
After the items were delivered, Qi Tongwei and Zhuang Wenbin went back.
