This video was an interview with Tom Jackson.
The interviewee was the richest man in Z country, Chen Jin.
The most attention-grabbing part of the video was naturally the sentence, "Give us 115 days. I will release a product that will far surpass yours."
The reactions of Z country's netizens:
"Learn how to brag like the big boss."
"Destroying Intel's strongest iX-9900K in a little more than 100 days. Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Overconfidence!"
"In other words, there are 115 days left until the countdown to slap the foreigners in the face?"
"Those few foreigners made me very unhappy. I hope the big boss can do what he said." Wang Danian posted a comment.
"The bench has been moved. I look forward to it."
…
As the video was also uploaded to overseas video websites such as YouTube, the reaction of the foreign netizens was also very enthusiastic.
The comment section was full of ridicule.
"Sorry, I laughed. I heard the funniest joke."
“My
So the Z people are so good at bragging. "
"115 days? Did he get the time unit wrong? 'Days' should be replaced with 'years'. "
"To be honest, I admire this Z person. He is very rich, but his brain is a little abnormal."
"They only know how to steal our technology and plagiarize our ideas. And they want to surpass us by plagiarizing? Dream on. "
"Mainlanders are like this. They can't do anything else, but they are good at bragging. They will never surpass the M nation," commented this traditional comment.
Of course, there were also a few simplified comments in the comment section. They tried to popularize the power of the Weaver Architecture, clarifying that it was entirely the Z people's own wisdom. In the end, they were all flamed. Below, there were countless comments of "Go back to Z country."
The Chinese netizens who were flamed shook their heads helplessly. They did not want to argue with these foreign keyboard warriors. They only hoped that Xing Hai Technologies would put in more effort and really come up with a better product within 115 days. They would use their strength to slap the Z people in the face!
…
March 20th, 10 o 'clock in the morning.
Online pre-sales of the Xing Hai First Generation computer were started.
The first batch of 2 million units were in stock. Desktop mainframes and notebooks each accounted for half.
Before the launch of pre-sales, Xing Hai Technologies released an announcement through multiple channels:
The Xing Hai First Generation computer is only a low-end entry-level product. Users who want to experience higher performance can wait patiently for a few more months. After a few months, we will release the high-performance "Xing Hai Second Generation". The price is equally reasonable. Users, don't be in a hurry to get your hands on it.
This announcement did make some users want to give up. Since there would be a better product released in a few months, they might as well hold on for a few more months.
However, there were even more people who ignored the announcement and chopped off their hands.
"Why are you hesitating when it's just three thousand yuan?"
"I'll buy a Xing Hai laptop to experience it first. I'll buy a desktop that smells even better in a few months."
"I can't wait for a few more months! It smells so good that I can't help it. I'll get one first. "
"I'm so poor that I can only afford the low-end entry-level version. (crying emoji)"
Therefore, after the online presale started, two million Xing Hai First Generation computers were sold out in just over three hours.
This result was quite shocking!
This meant that the Xing Hai computer was completely accepted by the mass market and was warmly welcomed by the mainstream market!
Compare that to Loongson's twenty years of ups and downs.
In terms of personal computers, the results that Loongson had achieved after 20 years of hard work were not even as good as the Xing Hai computer's three-hour presale.
Seeing this, Fu Weiwu felt very upset. However, he was also very pleased. After all, they were all computers from the Z people. The success of the Xing Hai computer was the success of every Z person. It was worthy of every Z person's pride!
The strong launch of the Xing Hai computer also officially announced that the Western companies that had dominated the computer market for nearly 50 years were about to face a terrifying opponent.
Of course, Intel was not indifferent. The company announced the countermeasures on the second day after the Xing Hai First Generation computer was released:
Price reduction!
The price of the CPU was drastically reduced.
Especially the i7-8700K, which was targeted by the "Qinglong First Generation" CPU. The price of the individual chips directly dropped from more than 1,600 yuan to 800 yuan.
It was directly cut in half!
This was enough to show the importance that Intel attached to the Xing Hai computer. They did not want to become the second Google, and even more so, they did not want to lose the Z country's market!
Not only that, Intel's president, Brian Annick, also dragged along the graphics giant Nvidia. He hoped that the company's graphics card prices would also be drastically reduced to deal with the impact of the Xing Hai computer.
He also made a similar request to another graphics card giant, AMD.
Very quickly, the two graphics card companies gave their replies.
Nvidia agreed to reduce the price of the GTX1060 graphics card from 1,600 yuan to about 1,200 yuan.
AMD had no intention of reducing the price. Their graphics cards were already sold cheaply. Wouldn't they be left with nothing if they lowered the price?
But even if all the prices were reduced, the price of the CPU and standalone graphics card would still add up to more than 2,000 yuan. Compared to the "Qinglong First Generation" that could be both a CPU and a GPU, they still did not have any advantage in terms of price-performance ratio.
It could be said that Xing Hai Technologies was in the lead in terms of the physical architecture and the price-performance ratio of the core hardware. In an instant, Xing Hai Technologies was in an invincible position!
Hence, Xing Hai Technologies' main target was Microsoft.
Chen Jin sent Ling Jun Dong to the capital to look for the relevant copyright management agency. He put forward a suggestion, hoping that the agency would adopt it.
The person in charge of the agency asked, "What suggestion?"
Ling Jun Dong smiled and said, "Severely crack down on pirated Windows operating systems and comprehensively promote genuine operating systems. Let the soil of piracy disappear completely."
"More than 90% of the computers in the Z country's market use pirated Windows operating systems. You want us to be strict with anti-piracy measures?"
The person in charge took a deep look at Ling Jun Dong, trying to discern something from his face.
Ling Jun Dong nodded lightly. "Our Z country's per capita GDP has already exceeded 10,000 USD. We have long entered a well-off society. We can even be said to be a moderately developed country. We should not continue to pirate other people's operating systems and use other people's intellectual products for free. This will leave us with a bad reputation internationally.
As far as I know, the cheapest genuine version of the Windows 7 system only costs $399. If it is installed with a full set of genuine software such as ORD, PPT, and Excel, it will only cost a total of $888. I think the majority of consumers should be able to afford this amount of money. It's just a small amount of money, so there's really no need to continue using pirated versions. "
Ling Jun Dong shook his head. "If consumers still feel that the genuine version is too expensive and still choose not to spend a single cent, then I can only suggest that they buy a Xing Hai computer installed with the Xuanyuan operating system. Our Xuanyuan operating system is free, and so are most of the tools and software. Although there may be more advertisements in it … the experience may be a little worse than genuine Windows."
Of course, if they wanted to completely block the harassment of advertisements, users could also spend a little money to buy the ad-free version.
He spread out his hands. "But who asked you to be reluctant to spend money? If you don't want to spend money, you can only settle for the next best thing and buy a Xing Hai computer. "
"In short, we hope to completely eradicate piracy and turn the Z country into a country that respects intellectual property rights! Even if Microsoft is a competitor of Xing Hai Technologies, we have the obligation to protect their interests in terms of intellectual property rights! "
Ling Jun Dong's righteous and stern words did not receive the applause that he deserved.
Instead, the person in charge of the copyright agency rolled his eyes at him fiercely. He could not help but give a thumbs up. He said, "I will report this matter to the higher-ups and give you a timely reply."
…
Three days later.
The National Copyright Administration suddenly announced: From March 25th onwards, they would launch a crackdown codenamed "Vanguard" to ban all pirated operating systems. There was no limit to the duration of the crackdown. They would strive to eliminate all piracy within a year.
Wow …
This announcement caused a huge response.
