   Chapter 1006 Replica Huawei

   Although this is a bit exaggerated, at this time Wang An Computer is indeed a well-deserved industry overlord.

   That's right, he is the overlord of the industry. In the past few years in the 1980s, the word Wang An represented the computer industry.

Even Bill Gates, the well-known founder of Microsoft in later generations, once said to the media that if Wang An Computer can complete the second strategic turning point, then there may be no Microsoft company in the world, and he himself, Bill Gates, will not. Become a tech icon.

  Wang An's computer does not fail, there will be one more ordinary teacher or lawyer in the world, and his name is Bill Gates.

  There are three most important reasons why Wang An Computer failed to complete the second strategic turning point.

   First, it was Wang An’s first decision-making mistake, which made Wang An’s computer seriously lag behind its old rival IBM in the first reform.

  Secondly, as soon as the second transformation was effective, it was anxious to compete with IBM.

  The third is to let the incompetent son forcibly take over the company.

   Let’s not talk about the latter two first, let’s talk about the first one. On personal computers, Wang An made the wrong choice from the very beginning.

   There is a sentence on the Internet in later generations

  Wang An's success started with IBM and ended with IBM.

   The grievances and grievances between the computer king and IBM are really hard to understand. It is undeniable that Wang An’s first pot of gold came from IBM.

   Wang An's breakthrough in memory technology research and development in the early years led him to obtain a starting capital of $500,000 from IBM.

  After obtaining the first pot of gold, Wang An was keenly aware of the huge computer market in the future, so he devoted all his capital and energy to the computer field.

   During the 60 to 80 years, the scope of computer applications was mainly in the enterprise and the military. During these 20 years, neither IBM nor Wang An computer was involved in personal computers.

  In the 1980s, with the sudden rise of personal computers, how to transform has become the biggest problem facing the two giant technology companies.

   IBM, which has always been conservative, resolutely opened up its policy after suffering from the impact of personal computers, and united a group of small personal computer equipment manufacturers to cooperate.

   Among these small personal computer equipment manufacturers, there are later famous Apple and Microsoft.

  Although the technical scale and business scope of small manufacturers are not large, the advantage is that the equipment is compatible and easy to use, and these small manufacturers have their own software development technology.

  IBM abandoned prejudice and actively cooperated with small manufacturers, thus taking the first step to stabilize its position in the reform of the personal computer market.

   In our words, IBM is already invincible.

Wang An, the founder of Wang An Computer, who is also a competitor, did not agree with IBM's approach from the very beginning. He believed that it was unreasonable to develop personal computers, and it would be better to develop high-priced machines that were incompatible with it. choose.

   Therefore, when IBM and other small manufacturers jointly developed the personal computer market, Wang An Computer chose a path completely opposite to the future direction of technological development.

   Facts have proved that if you don’t follow the trend of the times, you will be doomed to be eliminated by the times. The development of personal computers is changing with each passing day, and people have completely changed their concepts in just a few years.

  Because of conservative thinking and personal misjudgment, Wang An Computer missed the best opportunity for transformation, and also failed in the first transformation.

  After the first transformation failed, Wang An, who had learned the lessons, voluntarily gave up the most proud achievement in his life-the "Lossai" desktop computer based on transistors, and turned to a small personal computer for transformation.

   In view of the previous influence of Wang An Computer in the computer field, although Wang An Computer’s second transformation was a little late, it also successfully caught the last train. After entering the personal computer industry, it quickly occupied a part of the market share.

   What people didn't expect was that Wang An Computer's second transformation succeeded in an instant, and its founder Wang An made another incredible decision, that is, to continue to fight IBM to the end.

  IBM, as a technology giant, is only stronger than Wang An Computer Company in strength. Its business involves all aspects, many of which are the lifeline industries of the American technology economy. Its heritage is far from what Wang An Technology can match.

In addition, due to the timely transformation, IBM has already cooperated with many small manufacturers' alliances and won the support of a large number of small manufacturers. Wang An Computer has just stood on its heels and wants to go to war with IBM, which is undoubtedly dizzy. .

   If it was just like that, it would be fine. I would prefer to have a coincidence. Wang An was sick at this time, and it was terminally ill.

  If Wang An himself is healthy and there is no problem, then with his personal influence, Wang An Computer will continue to fight against IBM, and it is difficult to say how the final outcome will be.

   Even if Wang An computer loses, it will not lose so badly.

   However, God did not give Wang An this chance.

The computer king is sick and wants to push his son Xiao Wang to power. Not to mention that Xiao Wang does not have as much influence and ability as his father, even if Xiao Wang has outstanding ability, facing a company that even his own father can't handle, Under the internal and external troubles, it is strange that Xiao Wang can withstand the pressure.

   Facts have also proved that Xiao Wang’s performance was very mediocre when he came to power. Not only was he incapable of running such a large company, but it also accelerated the decline of the company.

  Wang An Computer's second strategic transformation, leaving a beautiful start, the rest is full of incomprehensible anticlimactic.

   On the plane, after Yang Chen read all the information about Wang An's computer, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

  Era can make a person great

   can also make a person extremely small

  It is said that man will conquer the sky

   But is God so easy to defeat?

   Fortunately, Xiao Wang did not take the position for a long time. Although Wang An’s computer was chaotic at this time, it did not collapse as a whole, especially the loss of talents was not serious.

   In conscience, there is no problem with Wang An’s ability and vision, especially in talent training and technology research and development, even the old rival IBM has to admire.

  Nearly one-third of the annual revenue is invested in talent training and technology research and development, which shows how much Wang An attaches great importance to and supports this aspect of talent and technology.

   At this time, Wang An Computer was equivalent to a copy of Huawei. As we all know, Huawei has always been talked about by everyone in terms of talent and technology investment in later generations.

   However, the huge investment in research and development has also seriously dragged down Wang An Computer's finances. It is probably because of this reason that Wang An Computer in the previous life declared bankruptcy in just a few years.

  In Yang Chen's opinion, instead of waiting five years to take over a company that has nothing, it is better to spend more now and directly acquire Wang An Computer.

   In this way, both the market and the talents can be retained.

   As for the acquisition money, it is nothing compared to the market value of Microsoft and Apple in later generations.
