Chapter 171 Galaxy 2 Supercomputer and Two Versions of Heroes(2/3)
"With capital from London, it will not be difficult for us to settle down with the Hong Kong government and go to Lantau Island for development."
At this stage, Lantau Island is very desolate and backward, but there are still some tourist attractions for the citizens of Hong Kong and Kowloon to visit during the holidays, such as the 1991 film "Descendants of the Dragon" in Stephen Chow's original track.
Yuen Wah, who plays the father of Starboy, plays the role of a large landowner in Tai O Village on Lantau Island. Tai O in the movie is similar to Tai O Village in this era around 1986.
Another example is the original version of Infernal Affairs 3. The Tian Tan Buddha worshiped by Han Chen and Shen Cheng is also the largest outdoor bronze Buddha statue in the world on Lantau Island.
Of course, in 1986, the Big Buddha did not yet exist, but the committee to prepare the Tian Tan Buddha had been established long ago.
After chatting with a smile for a while, Zhao Donghuai took out the rough design drawing (Jurassic Theme Park) and handed it to Zhou Huimin, "This is the rough design drawing, but you can ask some professional designers to redesign and supplement it."
"I'm not a professional architect, so I can only scratch the surface of this. The best place to build it is near Chek Lap Kok."
Chek Lap Kok itself is a small island on the edge of Lantau Island. When we started to build a new international airport, we also had to level the entire island and reclaim land.
Zhao Donghuai is not building it directly on Chek Lap Kok Island, it can be built nearby. This theme park project not only needs to build a park, but also needs to build roads and build a resort near the park, whether it is a hotel building model or a single-story villa with a large swimming pool.
Yes, they all have it.
While the two were still chatting, Qiu Shuzhen knocked on the door and came in. She first greeted Sister Min politely, and then said happily, "Boss, IBM said they should think about it."
"However, the island country is very happy and can sell us a supercomputer with a scale of one billion operations per second, but the price is relatively low...it is ten times the price of such supercomputers in Europe and the United States."
Zhao Donghuai was speechless. If it is a high-tech product that is blocked and cannot be sold, it doesn't matter if you sell it ten times. But the European and American style of play is that they will never sell it before it is developed in the mainland. Once the mainland develops it successfully, they will rush to sell it to you.
The price is even lower than in mainland China.
The purpose is to create a "making is worse than buying" model and destroy the mainland's R&D and manufacturing industry.
At this stage, Galaxy 2 is almost ready to be developed, why is the price still so low??
What's more important is that the trick of companies in island countries is that they often negotiate a deal and sell you the goods, but key parts will be damaged at every turn, forcing you to spend a lot of money to constantly hire experts from the original manufacturer to repair them, and you will be ripped off every time you repair them.
After thinking, Zhao Donghuai said, "Go and ask Mr. Li from Samsung in South Korea and the head of IBM Asia Pacific. I want to negotiate a big business with them."
………………
On August 6, he met Prince Li of Samsung and his secretary and translator. Zhao Donghuai smiled and asked Zhang Min to deliver tea. Then he moved a big box and said to Old Li, "President Li, are you interested in copying Toshiba?"
homework?"
Chairman Li looked confused, "Copy Toshiba's homework??"
He followed his gaze to the box and found that it was full of Sony 1.44MB electronic floppy disks.
Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "This contains a complete set of production and manufacturing technical information for Toshiba notebook T1100. Doesn't North America want to support you to steal food from the island's high-precision industries?"
"In terms of desktop computers, IBM is conquering the world on a large scale, and laptop computers also have great potential!"
“The global market is super vast!”
This is already 1986. Last year, Toshiba launched the world's first notebook computer, the T1100, and will launch the first commercial notebook computer, the T1000, next year. Zhao Donghuai went to the island country in 1984 to shoot (Super Body).
After a battle of wits and courage with Sony, a complete set of information like this was generated on the simulator.
How to use it? He thought about giving it to the mainland, but it was unrealistic... The mainland did not have relevant industrialized manufacturing equipment. The first set of supercomputers required experts to manually manufacture various parts, but it lacked modern machinery and equipment production lines.
Until now, it seems that we can try to cooperate with South Korea.
President Li almost spit out tea, "T1100?? Complete set of information? This..."
Zhao Donghuai patted the box and said, "It looks like it was given to me by Sony. There's nothing wrong with it. I have a full set of technologies. You Samsung can have industrial production lines and technical talents. Our cooperation is a win-win situation."
"The worst case scenario is a patent lawsuit with Toshiba."
"Or, if you have enough technical support, you can use these data as a basis to develop more advanced laptop technology."
Chairman Li swallowed his saliva and looked shocked. Can Sony give you this? Are you kidding me? The Toshiba air conditioner explosion caused Toshiba to lose a lot of money.
The person named Zhao must be joking, but this is a good thing. As long as the technical information is true, who cares where it comes from?
After thinking for two minutes, Chairman Li smiled and said, "Sheng Zhao, what do you need from our Samsung?"
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "You need to open a joint venture with me in Hong Kong to develop laptops. You need to provide large-scale technical personnel, including manufacturing equipment and machines."
"In addition, I also want a supercomputer that performs one billion operations per second. If it's the market price, I want five of them. The price is 20 to 30% higher than the market price. I don't mind."
"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. You should know that after the Galaxy 1 was developed in the Mainland, North America sold me three Galaxy 1-level supercomputers at a price that was several percent lower than the price in the Mainland."
"Mainland Galaxy 2 is about to be developed."
Chairman Li thought for another two minutes and nodded, "I can fight for a supercomputer comparable to Galaxy 2. This shouldn't be very difficult, but the notebook joint venture factory can only be built in our Seoul..."
"North America will not allow it to be built on Hong Kong Island, and neither can we. It is best to bring IBM in. Without them standing in the way, it will be difficult to withstand the attacks from the islanders."
The Galaxy 1 was launched directly on National Day, which shocked the world. Chairman Li also knew this information. In the past two years, as long as there is large financial support, the Galaxy 2 will soon appear. It is not surprising.
When it comes to research and development, the hardest thing is not going from 1 to 2, but going from 0 to 1!
Zhao Donghuai wants a Galaxy 2-level supercomputer. If he hadn’t wanted it in advance, he would have waited until the mainland developed Galaxy 2, just like the first generation, and North America would have sold it to him at a cheaper price than Galaxy 2.
Zhao Donghuai shook his head, "We can let IBM join this game, but the joint venture factory must at least have a branch factory in Hong Kong that has production capacity."
Where is the notebook factory located? It means where can we have such high-precision production technology and equipment!
"I can actually try to purchase production lines, machinery and equipment, etc. from Europe. As long as I have money, it is difficult to buy various equipment at this stage, but it is not impossible to overcome."
President Li did not pick up the topic and said with a smile, "Sheng Zhao, I need to send someone to verify the authenticity of these data and technologies. As you know, I don't know much about this kind of scientific and technological data."
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Of course."
The fact that he was able to produce these means that they are copies of the technical data generated by the system. Of course, Samsung will also be involved in the notebook computer field in the future, but when it entered the Chinese market, it was already 2001.
It is enough to prove that Samsung wants to engage in this, more than ten years later than Toshiba and other island companies. That means it is late in developing its efforts and needs to catch up slowly.
If you can directly copy the homework?? Then the situation will be different. For this big industry, Chairman Li still wants to get a piece of the pie.
As for various technical patents, patent barriers, etc., of course they can be developed slowly... Otherwise, besides Toshiba notebooks, how can there be many notebook brands from other countries around the world?
Toshiba is the inventor of the first laptop computer, but you can charge money for patents, but it is unrealistic to monopolize an industry based on patents.
………………
The next time.
Zhao Films' "Never Compromise" films including "Cat and Mouse" are still being released crazily around the world, while Zhao Donghuai is waiting for news about the second-generation supercomputer.
It lasted until August 15th, when Samsung Chairman Lee brought good news. Five supercomputers comparable to the Galaxy 2 generation were available in North America, but they were three times the current market price.
And we guarantee that like products from island countries, key parts will not break during use... requiring high-paying experts to repair them.
Zhao Donghuai was a little speechless. Ma's group rushed to the street. The mainland was about to come out. He just wanted to download it a year and a half in advance. They were all so dark??
Although, let alone three times the market price, it is ten times. For him, it is only a small amount of money at present. He can take 10 to 20 million Hong Kong dollars, open 50 times leverage, and simulate it a few times, and he can get it back from the foreign exchange market.
But when someone shows you the price that is going to kill you, you just feel unhappy and angry!
He has already produced a complete set of production technical information for Toshiba T1100, but he is still so shady??
Under such circumstances, Zhang Min ran in to report that someone from Toshiba was here... From the first time he took out this technical information, to letting Samsung Lee and the head of IBM Asia Pacific take a look at it, asking them to send professionals to judge these technologies.
Whether the information is true or false is less than ten days old.
Toshiba is in trouble now??
Do Samsung and IBM technicians have sieve-type confidentiality capabilities? Or is there someone who wants to make a lot of money from Toshiba and proactively contacts Toshiba to break the news?
He must have taken the initiative to reveal the information and sell it for money.
Just like when Toshiba and Big Bear traded five-axis CNC machine tools, the middlemen felt that they were making too little and took the initiative to report Toshiba...
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Let him come in."
When he met the two middle-aged men from Toshiba in the big office, before he could say anything, the Mediterranean guy bowed deeply and said, "Sheng Zhao, we are willing to buy back a complete set of T1100 technical information in exchange for giving you three Galaxy 2-level machines.
It’s super calculated.”
"And we at Toshiba guarantee that if something goes wrong during operation, our people will repair it for free."
Zhao Donghuai smiled, "In this case, you are sincere, but I don't quite believe you."
The Mediterranean man smiled bitterly and said, "Sheng Zhao, even if we buy back the complete set of technical data, it will be difficult to prove that you did not leave any backup. If we fail to make this promise, you can always continue to build factories with Samsung and IBM."
Toshiba is going crazy. The air conditioner explosion last year has caused heavy losses to the group. It has not only compensated North American users US$800 million, but also almost lost all the Asia-Pacific market.
As for the five-axis CNC machine tools, North America is also grabbing the pigtails and hammering this and that... This is a loss for the entire island country's high-precision field.
What the hell, why did it come out again that all the technology of the laptop T1100 was stolen? They don’t know how to pursue it now.
Stopping losses in time is the most important thing!
As for whether to take revenge on Zhao Donghuai? It is certain that I have this idea, but I don’t know how to do it for a while.
In the Haowan area of Hong Kong, it would be difficult for American, British and other international capital to succeed if they wanted to attack Zhao Donghuai.
At this stage, Zhao Donghuai is willing to throw out this technical information, which is the concept that if there are too many lice, he is not afraid of being bitten.
After saying this, Director Zhao took a sip of champagne and said with a smile, "Three sets are not enough, I want ten!"
Toshiba Mediterranean Male, "..."
Before he could say anything, another middle-aged man with thick hair nodded, "Okay, ten sets will be ten sets!"
Although ten Galaxy 2-level supercomputers are not cheap and not a small amount of money, compared with the entire global notebook market, they are negligible. After all, if you let Samsung or IBM start two or three years later, it will be equivalent to Toshiba.
To be continued...
