Feng Yu bought a PC and got Lenovo's contact number. It was printed on the packaging of the PC.
Feng Yu went to the Telecommunication Bureau and gave them a red packet. Two people followed him home to help him install the internet cable.
This wasn't broadband, nor was it fiber optics. It was just a "cat", a modem. Although the internet was still not good, they could still send emails. In the future, it would be more convenient for Feng Yu to manage his company remotely. He does not need to go to service agencies to receive faxes.
The PC started and dialed. Feng Yu frowned. The computer's noise was not just a little loud, it was extremely loud. Feng Yu had never used a PC in his previous life. When he used a PC, it was already 586 and was configured with Win95.
Feng Yu was not sure if it was because all the computers in this era were so noisy or because Lenovo's technology was not good.
After a minute, the internet was connected. Feng Yu shook his head. The speed was too slow.
The shop owner told Feng Yu that there were more than 1 million PCs in the world and the number will increase rapidly in the future. There should be an increase of 200,000 to 300,000 PCs every year. But Feng Yu knew that the shop owner was too conservative. The growth of PCs in the future would be faster than anyone could imagine. By the end of the millennium, there would be more than 10 million PCs connected to the internet. There were still a lot of PCs that were not connected to the internet.
The speed of development of the Internet was also changing with each passing day. The internet speed will increase from a few megabytes to a few gigabytes. More importantly, the number of users will increase from 1 million to a few hundred million in a few years' time.
Feng Yu was worried to death about the time it took to open a webpage. But when the webpage opened, Feng Yu really wanted to die! Damn!
Why is this webpage in text mode?
Feng Yu had imagined all sorts of backward scenarios, but he did not expect it to be this backward. Feng Yu swore that this was the first time he saw a web page in text mode!
He was not used to using this kind of webpage. He felt uncomfortable just by looking at it!
Seems like this PC should not be used to surf the internet. It was good enough for him to receive emails, play games, type some words, etc.
Feng Yu regretted it a little. This f * cker wasn't even worth ten thousand yuan! An ordinary worker could only afford it if they didn't eat or drink for six years. What kind of broken function was this?
Feng Yu didn't know if he could teach Wu Chih-gang and the others how to send and receive emails, or if it would be difficult for them to even learn how to type.
Feng Yu registered an email account and sent a message to Fu Guangzheng. Fu Guangzheng's company had started using computers to send and receive emails last year. Hong Kong was developing faster than China.
Turning off the network, Feng Yu began to casually check the software installed in the computer. Nowadays, the internet was charged based on the time spent on the internet, and the price was ridiculously high. Although Feng Yu was not short of money, he did not want to waste it.
He took out a floppy disk and inserted it into the floppy drive. The computer noise became even louder.
It took a full three minutes for the file to finish reading. Feng Yu moved the ball-shaped mouse and opened the file. His mood instantly became much better.
< Seven Seas Conqueror > was a standalone adventure game. It was also the most popular game currently.
The developer of this game was Taiwan's Daeyu. This was the company that developed the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.
It was the success of this game that allowed Da Yu to develop the Legend of the Sword and Fairy, which became a classic that had lasted for a long time. In Feng Yu's previous life, Daeyu had made lots of money from the IP of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.
Feng Yu thought for a while. Maybe he could invest in Daeyu before the release of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series. But at this time, Taiwanese people were very against Chinese businessmen. They even looked down on them.
Taiwan's economy was much better than China, and it had always been Taiwanese businessmen investing in China. There were no Chinese businessmen investing in Taiwan. This would be very difficult.
But Feng Yu had a company in Hong Kong, and he might be able to do it. If it was successful, it would be great. Even if it was not successful, he could still get the distribution rights in China. Ask Master Lu for help, and other companies would not dare to snatch the distribution rights.
After playing for two hours, Feng Yu's pager vibrated, and he saved the game.
It was Fu Guangzheng telling him that he had received an email from Feng Yu. Feng Yu looked up at the ceiling. He hoped that Fu Guangzheng had just seen the email and not a simple email with only a few words. It took two hours to send!
The current computers were outdated, and Feng Yu gave up on buying computers from Tai Hua Trading. Let's wait for a few more years. After Win95 was introduced to the market, the internet would be better, and it would be easier to operate. Feng Yu could then buy computers for all the companies, and Wu Chih-gang and the rest should be able to use it.
Although there was a Chinese Language Card in this DOS system, many of the commands still needed to be typed in English. With Wu Chih-gang and the rest's bad grades, they might go crazy if they were to learn English!
But the battery factory and the Machinery Company could be equipped with a few computers. Those factories needed to do research, and these computers should be able to help those engineers.
Feng Yu was worried that those engineers did not know how to use computers. They would still use the old calculator or use a pen and paper to do the calculations. The efficiency would be too low.
After switching off the computer, Feng Yu looked at the phone number on the cardboard box. He wanted to contact Lenovo.
Lenovo was split into two companies. One was Hong Kong's Lenovo, and the other was Beijing's Lenovo. Of course, the people in charge of both companies were Liu Chuanzhi and the rest.
None of the people who had risen up in this era were simple. Especially those who had risen up in the high-tech industry. All of them had a strong background. In this era, it was hard for those without a strong background to get in touch with the high-tech industry. Even if they could get in touch with the technology, they could only be a researcher or engineer. They could never be a leader!
Liu Chuanzhi's father was also a famous engineer in China. He was also the one who pushed for China's patent laws. He was the first person to propose the concept of patents in China.
At that time, many people criticized him for this. They felt that this was backward thinking. The fruits of your labor should be donated to the country, and it must be free of charge. The country will reward you accordingly. As for benefits, what benefits do you want? Are you a capitalist? We should be talking about contributions!
But as many inventions and creations in China were stolen by foreigners and the country suffered huge losses, these voices died down. The country also started to focus on patents.
Liu Chuanzhi's father was sent to Hong Kong to register a company to apply for overseas patents. Liu Chuanzhi's father was also a leader in China's Patent Office. He was also the Chairman of the National Patent Protection Association!
To be able to become the Chairman of a national patent association, Liu Chuanzhi's father was not an ordinary person. This was also the reason why Liu Chuanzhi was able to become the General Manager of Lenovo and not other engineers. This was also the reason why Liu Chuanzhi knew the international situation so well. It was because of his father's teachings.
Feng Yu only hoped that Liu Chuanzhi's values were not about contributions!
