"On the surface, the semiconductor industry was established very early"
Qing Yun shrugged his shoulders and continued,
“But in fact, there is a huge gap between us and America in terms of the basic environment for the development of computer technology and semiconductor industry. We can look at the situation on the other side of the Pacific.”
< p>Xiao Ya operated the computer with understanding and released a ppt.Comparison of the development of the semiconductor industry in China and America.
Qing Yun pointed to the comparison items on the ppt and said,
“First, expand from national defense needs to the needs of enterprises in all walks of life.
64 In 2006, Aibi Aimu successfully developed the Aibi Aimu 360 system, the world's first general-purpose computer using integrated circuits, and began shipping in 1965. Compared with my country's successful development of the first integrated circuit computer in the early 1970s, , it seems that our country is still lagging behind within 10 years, but in fact it is not the case.
Abby Aimu made a clever design in the 360 series, which changed the use of previous models of computers. The situation of one operating system, but the entire series, except for a few models, from small to large, from low performance to high performance, all use the same os360 operating system
The 360 series released in Aibi Aimu. Previously, computers of different sizes had their own instruction sets and operating systems, which meant that the application software on each computer was dedicated and could not be installed and used on another computer.
In other words, the application software on each computer was unique. Each computer was specially customized for customers. After all, they were all mainframes at the time, and the unit price was high, often several million dollars or more.
If users wanted to upgrade their performance, in addition to purchasing hardware, All software must be purchased and written again, and the 360 series allows customers to use cheaper models and then upgrade to larger systems as needs increase without the time and expense of rewriting software.
< p>This flexibility greatly lowers the barrier to entry.Imagine that all your company's software is based on DOS. If the performance of the existing hardware does not meet the requirements, you must purchase new hardware. If you switch to another operating system, all application software needs to be redeployed and adapted. Each computer is a unique system, and even software compatibility between two computers cannot be achieved. This high cost makes Many companies simply won't buy computers.
It is precisely because of this change that Abby's 360 series has become so popular that it is used in various industries in America, including airline online ticketing systems. , Apollo moon landing, etc.
The expensive models in the 360 series can sell for millions of dollars each, while the cheaper models such as the Abby 360odel30, together with the odel40, are the most popular. Popular models, accounting for more than half of sales, its guide price is US$133,000 per unit, and Aibimu has also launched a leasing service, allowing enterprises to rent these large computers on a monthly basis.
On the official website of Aibi Aimu, it is mentioned that the total price of the 360 series ranges from US$133,000 to US$5.5 million, but the monthly rent can be as cheap as US$2,700 to US$115,000. ”
Following Qing Yun’s narration, Xiao Ya released a screenshot of Aibi Aimu’s official website at any time.
The information is all historical information posted by Aibi Aimu himself. , it's easy to check.
It just requires some tacit understanding.
It's not that they have a clear understanding of each other, but they have rehearsed this scene several times.
Every word and even every action of Qing Yun was carefully considered by the two of them so as not to arouse unnecessary resentment among those who were older than that.
As for those who are not that old, they have carefully considered it. ...
Yun Emperor said that they were not qualified to point fingers in front of him.
Originally Xiao Ya didn’t think so, thinking that the little kid was too arrogant. Who did he think he was?
But now it seems that Sister Xiaoya has no choice but to be convinced.
Some people are really born to stand among thousands of people.
Qing Yun pointed to the comparison chart on the left casually, "You see, it also started in the military industry, but by the 1960s, the development of computer technology in China and America had already seen major changes. different.
In the 1960s, America's business companies from all walks of life had become the downstream demand side for the development of domestic computer technology.
The addition of such a huge market has formed a powerful driving force for the development of America's computer technology.
At the same time, although our country successfully developed the first integrated circuit large-scale computer through the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" project in 1973.
But at this time, it is not only behind America in time and technology, but also in the development path. Relying solely on national project funding is not enough to support our country’s computer industry. Technology shortens the gap with America.
But there is nothing to regret. Seniors, this is not anyone’s fault, but we were too poor at that time. "
Looking at the expressions of shame and regret on the faces of many old men in the audience, Qing Yun quickly walked back.
"Seniors, please look, Abby is here. According to historical information on the official website, when Abby Aimu released the 360 series in April 1964, as many as 100,000 businessmen came from 165 cities in America to attend the conference! "
Having said this, Emperor Yun paused, pointed at the picture on the ppt, and smiled, "100,000 businessmen! 100,000 people! ”
Everyone also smiled bitterly. At that time in 1964, there were not even 100,000 businessmen in the entire country of China..
How does this compare?
Qing Yun shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Seniors, this is not a question of the scientific research route, it is not the fault of you and the seniors, and it is not a question of whether there is a system or not.
p>
It can only be said that the business atmosphere in Europe and the United States has made the importance of the market deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the establishment of market business cycles has been very mature.
But in our era, we didn't even have enough to eat? "Stop! Thinking about this is just militancy.
We should face up to the gap and not act as an afterthought."
There is nothing we can do about it, these lovely old people, such as Li Guangnan, etc., they always do. They are used to thinking that it is their own fault for not developing well. If they had worked harder or not taken the wrong path, then...
This is a valuable quality.
But this is not the right mentality.
People cannot just live in the past.
Qing Yun knocked on the wall next to the curtain, "Let's go back to the ppt and see how others did it, so that we can learn from experience!"
In the audience Everyone was shocked and quickly focused their attention.
"Abby's 360 series was a huge success, with 668 units delivered in 1965 and a total of 7,700 units delivered by the end of 1966.
And Abby's Operating income increased from US$3.239 billion in 1964 to US$8.274 billion in 1971, accounting for 70% of the American commercial computer market.
The decline in costs also drove the American commercial computer market. Rapid development of scale. ”
“Second, the demand for hardware expanded to the demand for software.
In 1969, due to Abby’s success in the American general computer market. The share is too high. Under the anti-monopoly pressure of the American government, Aibi Aimu decided to unbundle software and hardware, and took the lead in promoting separate pricing and sales of software and hardware.
Business model innovation under this pressure. Software began to become an independent industry, and software became a profitable and high-profit industry, creating huge demand.
Because of this, in the 1970s, a large number of Americans began to emerge. Software company.
The business covers operating systems, office software and various game productions.
The Microsoft company we know today was established in 1975, while Oracle was established in 1977.
Due to America’s global influence in this area, it also affected the development of the global software industry. The famous Hanscat SAP company was established in 1972 by Abby Emu. Founded by the employees of the Hanscat branch
In 1970, the revenue of America Software products and services was only US$2.5 billion, which increased to US$18 billion by 1980, and increased to US$18 billion by 1988. 68.05 billion US dollars
More and more abundant.Rich application software has also boosted the sales of hardware and provided consumption incentives for people to buy computers, game consoles and other electronic equipment. This has greatly promoted the development of computer and game console hardware technologies, including chips.
This means that America has not only formed a two-wheel demand drive of the market and national projects, but also created a two-wheel demand drive of hardware and software in the market field.
América’s computer technology developers can not only obtain income from national project grants, but also obtain income from sales to the commercial market. They can not only obtain income from selling hardware, but also obtain income from Gaining revenue from selling software creates a huge incentive.
At the same time, the development of application software will bring high requirements for hardware performance, and will also drive the continuous development of hardware technology, forming a good synergy effect. ”
Qing Yun picked up the mineral water and took a sip of it for himself, giving the people in the conference room space to digest.
The leaders here have devoted their lives to scientific research. Committed to promoting the development of China's semiconductor industry, they have witnessed countless ups and downs and changes, but most of the time, they think about problems and explore solutions from the perspective of scientific research.
However, Today, Qing Yun's speech was like a heavy hammer, hitting their hearts. His restoration of history from a business perspective shocked them like never before.
Li Guangnan's speech. There was a flash of shock in his eyes.
He thought of how when he was young, he was devoted to scientific research, and he always felt that market and business considerations were secondary and an add-on after successful scientific research.
But now, he began to realize that perhaps he had overlooked something more important.
He thought of some of the projects he had participated in, but due to the lack of commercial considerations, it was ultimately difficult to implement them. Continue.
Qing Yun’s words made him reflect on how scientific research and business should be better combined.
Huang Lingyi had a thoughtful look on his face.
< p>She thought about the chip she led the team to develop. Although it had a technological breakthrough, it was difficult to gain a foothold in the market.Qing Yun’s words made her reflect on the purpose of scientific research. Is the technology high-tech, or is it to meet market demand and promote the development of the industry? Or is it that all of these are actually complementary and mutually beneficial?
Wang Shouwu frowned, and his heart surged. He had mixed emotions.
He has always believed that as long as the technology is advanced enough, it can lead the market and promote the development of the industry. But now, he begins to realize that he may be too idealistic. , without fully considering commercial factors.
Wang Yangyuan, Xu Juyan, Zou Shichang, Yan Xiaolang...
Even the much younger Hu Weiwu behind them, everyone was thinking silently in their hearts. You know, Qing Yun’s words are not just a profound analysis of the development history of China’s semiconductor industry, and it was a profound touch to each of their scientific research ideas.
They all understand that if they want to truly realize the rise of China's semiconductor industry, they need to think about problems and explore solutions from more perspectives.
“Third, the needs of enterprises are expanded to the needs of individual consumers.
American entrepreneurs quickly discovered that the individual consumer market will be larger than that of enterprises. A larger market, so in an attempt to make computers smaller and cheaper
It is worth mentioning that in the development of application software, early scientists developed by-products to verify the performance of computers. , such as the intelligent program "oxo" designed by Alexander Douglas in 1952. After these intelligent programs gradually evolved into video games, they became the best-selling software applications on the market. In fact, the development of computer graphics is inseparable from electronic games.
These video games made many ordinary people become interested in computers, which led to the birth and popularity of home game consoles.
The corporate world quickly discovered this game business. It's so big that it's worth developing a separate computer specifically for playing games - a game console
Dear seniors...
Don't underestimate this game console. . ”
