Rebirth: My 80s

beep, beep...

Inside the Civil Aviation Administration compound.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Boom boom boom!

"Come in."

squeak-

The office door opened.

Xiao Zhang, who walked in from outside, was stunned. He didn't expect that there were several leaders in the office, and they seemed to be holding an impromptu meeting.

"What's wrong?" One of them looked at Xiao Zhang and asked.

"Director Wu, another one!"

The others were confused, but Director Wu opened his eyes wide in surprise and confirmed, "Another one?"

Xiao Zhang nodded seriously.

"What's the matter, Old Wu?" someone asked.

Director Wu muttered "How strange" and then began to explain it to a few old friends.

You know, private jets are very rare these days.

Usually, the Civil Aviation Administration will receive flight route applications in advance when dignitaries from various countries visit my country.

This is standard procedure, the same all over the world.

the difference is.

If according to international practice, private planes transiting through the country will need to pay route usage fees, landing and take-off airport fees, guide vehicle fees, ground support fees, refueling fees, etc.

But this is obviously not necessary for political leaders visiting abroad.

There has been no news recently about any important international meetings in the capital.

The private aircraft that applied for the routes were also very happy to prepay part of the fees - which were transferred to the Civil Aviation Administration's Bank of China account overseas.

This proves that the people who came were not foreign dignitaries.

Then the question comes:

Why do super-rich people from abroad flock to our country?

This has never happened before.

So far, four applications have been received within a few hours.

After hearing what Director Wu said, the people around him were also very surprised and started talking about it.

"I haven't heard of any international events in the capital recently."

"There is no such thing from above, but there are still many actions taken by various departments."

These days, all departments are actively introducing foreign investment.

It also made a lot of news.

For example, last year’s “translation talent” incident.

Isn’t it because there are too few people who know foreign languages? The staff in our own units is totally insufficient, and the various departments have to "borrow" from major universities, but it is still not enough.

Later, we looked for people in society, and even people who had learned a little foreign language on their own were asked to help.

"The question is, what level of wealthy people are those who have private jets, and which department can attract such people?"

"Yes, it's hard to arouse the interest of these top rich people in the projects proposed by various departments. And judging from the situation, they are probably here for the same thing, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?"

"I remember one thing: In Zhongguancun, several large technology companies are leading the effort to hold a 'China Computer Business Development Conference', which seems to be scheduled for the 18th. It's possible that they are the ones who are trying to attract people. The computer industry is still very profitable, and it's gradually gaining popularity in our country. After all, we have a large population base, so we have a lot of potential."

This person is talking about several major Zhongguancun technology companies.

It refers to two connections and two seas, plus an association.

You should know that among these five companies, even Lenovo, which performed the worst, had an operating income of more than 70 million last year.

The best performing company, Soitong, had a turnover of 500 million yuan in 1987.

The combined scale of these five companies has reached billions, and they are also leading more Zhongguancun technology companies to jointly host this conference.

No matter how rich a person is, he can't take it lightly, right?

With a population of one hundred million, my country's development potential is immeasurable.

Last September, in a small building at the Capital Institute of Computer Science, Chinese and German scientists, with the help of Werner Zohn, the father of the German Internet, successfully sent an email in both English and German from the capital to the University of Karlsruhe in Germany.

【Crossing the Great Wall and heading towards the world】.

That day, Chinese people came into contact with the Internet for the first time.

This also means that China's Internet era has arrived.

It seems reasonable that the world's computer giants have smelled business opportunities and can no longer ignore my country.

After hearing what this person said, everyone thought about it and nodded, thinking it was very likely.

……

……

The news spread quickly and soon reached Zhongguancun.

All the companies in Zhongguancun that participated in the preparation of this event were overjoyed.

And Yanagawa Zhi, who first proposed the initiative to hold this event and was responsible for the overall work of the conference, became even more famous.

The phone in his office was almost blown up, and all he heard were congratulations and words of thanks.

The threshold of his office was almost broken down.

Yes, this event was mainly initiated and led by Yanagawa Zhi.

The emergence of the Internet in China is a very favorable and positive signal. He has been preparing for this event for more than half a year.

He saw it as an opportunity to fight back from a desperate situation.

I'm really being suppressed by Donghai Technology Company, and I'm almost out of options...

The damned Donghai Company not only snatched away the compatible computer brand AST Hongzhi that he had long selected, but also poached his chief technical engineer and his team. What's even more outrageous is that they even poached ordinary employees!

Today, Donghai Company's marketing network is getting bigger and bigger.

AST computers were also sold like hot cakes by them.

On the other hand, Lenovo, which can only continue to sell IBM computers, has seen its living space become increasingly compressed.

Because IBM is such an ambitious company, the new computers it launches are not compatible with other brands!

Lenovo, Soitong and other companies are different in that their main business is selling computers.

The main business of the Stone Company is printers.

Go on like this.

Not to mention the plan he and his father had agreed to make long ago to open a branch in Hong Kong City, as well as a series of subsequent arrangements, which simply could not be carried out.

Whether Lenovo in mainland China can continue to survive is a big question.

Therefore, he must use the collective scale of Zhongguancun and the future of computers in this country as bargaining chips to attract more manufacturers from abroad and obtain better sources of trade.

"Several private planes applied to land at the Capital Airport?"

Looking at the several people who came to the office to congratulate him and bring the latest news, Yanagawa Zhi was confused.

He really didn't care and sent invitations to manufacturers of the world's mainstream computer brands.

but.

Who can come here by private jet?

Only the bosses of these brands have the financial resources and class, right?

He was doubtful in his heart, but he didn't think he had such a great reputation.

"Yes, Mr. Liu, you are still awesome."

"I admire you."

"Old Liu, your methods are really wild. I have to admit defeat this time."

Yanagawa Zhi smiled awkwardly. Although it felt good to be flattered now, if those big guys who were taking the private jet behind him didn't come over... he would be so embarrassed.

“Hi, I have invited all major computer manufacturers.

"But to say that their boss came in person shouldn't be the case. I'm afraid they are mistaken."

He had to keep a low profile.

"I've asked around, there's a plane that belongs to Thomas Watson Jr."

"Boss Liu, please stop being so modest. You have been cooperating with IBM for a long time and are their largest distributor in the mainland. If it weren't for your face, who else could have invited Thomas Watson Jr.?"

Yanagawa Zhi opened his eyes wide and asked, "He's coming over?"

"It's absolutely true. This is the news from the Civil Aviation Administration."

Hey!

This matter?

Yanagawa Zhi's eyes lit up.

As we all know, IBM was founded by Thomas Watson and has always been a family-managed model under his leadership.

It goes without saying who Thomas Watson Jr. is.

Even though he is old, he stepped down as president of IBM two years ago.

He is the real boss behind IBM.

It’s not impossible... Yanagawa Shi thought.

Since the news was certain, a voice in his heart persuaded him.

There are three reasons:

1. IBM's new computer has been launched for more than half a year, and its global sales are not ideal. Isn't Thomas Watson Jr. anxious?

2. my country's computer industry has reached a scale of billions, and % of it is concentrated in Zhongguancun. This is no small fortune.

3. The Internet has emerged in China, an emerging market with a population of one billion. It seems that no one can resist being attracted by it.

With this in mind, Liuchuan Zhi no longer tried to distance himself from the matter, but he remained humble and said with a smile:

"It's not just my achievement, Liu. Everyone has contributed."

The office was suddenly filled with praises.

"General Liu is a man of high moral character."

"You deserve the most credit!"

"On behalf of all the other computer companies in Zhongguancun, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Liuchuan Zhi smiled and waved his hand, and finally asked: "By the way, when will Thomas Watson Jr.'s plane arrive?"

"This... needs to be inquired."

"Old Hong, you must have connections in the Civil Aviation Administration. I'll leave this matter to you. After all, they are guests. We are a country of etiquette, so we must be polite."

"Boss Liu is absolutely right."

Yanagawa Zhi had already guessed the purpose of Thomas Watson Jr.'s visit.

Regret it?

That would be best.

As long as IBM can "turn over a new leaf", Lenovo will continue to sell IBM and the second-rate brand AST. How can it compete with it?

Damn Donghai Company, go to hell!

……

……

Dongcheng, on Dongzhimen Street.

Inside the 1+1 Charity Foundation’s residence which has not yet opened.

A woman who made Bai Lu feel ashamed kicked off her long leather boots and lazily lay on the beige leather sofa in the lounge.

It doesn't seem so imposing anymore.

God knows, Bai Lu didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

This woman is not only incredibly beautiful.

She is also exceptionally noble, looking like a...queen.

The aura is twenty meters wide.

"Master." the woman called.

Bai Lu had left, and they were the only two left in the room.

She finally came to the mainland capital.

The host sent out invitations to many people, and some irrelevant people came running over. It would be inappropriate for her not to come and show support.

"Huh?" Li Jiankun looked up from a newspaper.

"IBM's Thomas Watson Jr. seems to be arriving today." Liu Jingyan said in a chatty tone.

Li Jiankun thought for a moment and said, "I didn't invite him."

He had no relationship with Thomas Watson Jr., and his investment in IBM was purely an investment.

After all, IBM is one of the most valuable companies in the world today.

"You are their big money sponsor. IBM suffered because of its overambitiousness and is having a hard time now."

Li Jiankun shrugged and didn't care. As Buffett said, "If you don't plan to hold a stock for ten years, don't hold it for ten minutes."

"Should we send someone to pick him up?" Liu Jingyan asked. "After all, he's quite old."

Thomas Watson Jr. is seventy-four years old.

"No need. Is there no one around him?"

Liu Jingyan suddenly remembered something and joked, "My people told me that when they heard that he was coming, the computer companies in the mainland seemed to be very excited. Who knows, someone might go to the airport to pick him up."

Li Jiankun continued reading the newspaper without looking up and said, "That's perfect, let them pick it up."
