Chapter 79: People busy going into the sea

Without any surprise, Fan Wubing went to CCTV with his father Fan Heng.

It took me a whole day to draw up the advertising contract. This time, CCTV's advertising contract items were much improved compared to last year, and many details were specifically reflected. Therefore, Fan Wubing spent more time on the contract. In general, the unfair terms that appeared later have not been presented to the current contract.

The only thing that made Fan Wubing feel a little unhappy was that as a Pingyuan Factory that holds a large number of shares, it also required to sign the contract. In this way, Fan Wubing and others would not be able to go home before the Spring Festival.

However, this request cannot be rejected, otherwise the contract would not be approved, so Fan Wubing, his father Fan Heng and his sister Fan Ting could only continue to stay in the capital and wait for the signing representative of the Pingyuan Factory to come to Beijing.

"Okay, my sister's exam has been completed anyway, so we can just wander around, and we are idle." Fan Wubing looked very open-minded, looking like I don't care.

It is impossible to say that you don’t feel disturbed. Money is a good thing, but when you get more money, trouble will follow. The Plain Factory got rich all of a sudden and the leaders have more ideas. Since we have always been working, why do we only get so little reward?

Therefore, in this signing ceremony, they made up their minds to come and make a fuss to reflect the value of self-existence and seek more benefits for the future. As for what the partners will think, it is not something they consider.

"It's natural to sign, but there is one thing, the advertising fee must be paid according to the equity ratio. I don't think of this sucker." Fan Wubing said so.

It seems that it is time to take another approach and let Plain Factory dominate the world. It is of no benefit to yourself and the booming single-player market. Instead of cultivating a market monster that is not dominated by you, it is better to cultivate more sheep who are willing to serve you to be more at ease.

Regarding plain factory, Fan Wubing felt that he had done his best to be kind and righteous. As a person, you must know how to be kind and rewarded. It is not impossible to be able to get more and more talented. You must have such great strength.

It is absolutely wrong to play the trick of destroying bridges with me! Fan Wubing said.

Fan Heng also felt a little embarrassed. The entire project was created by Fan Wubing, and the money was also produced by Fan Wubing himself. Many important components at that time were obtained by Fan Wubing through the relationship between Hong Kong and Japan. As a result, his career was on track and the Plain Factory started to do whatever he wanted. Isn’t this a chilling thing?

If Fan Wubing rebounds, Fan Heng, as his father, couldn't say anything. Even if he said anything, he wouldn't expect Fan Wubing to accept it. After all, Fan Wubing himself is very independent, and the plain factory did too much.

Fan Wubing and his sister Fan Ting went to Zhongguancun.

At this time, Zhongguancun was still in the stage of small-scale entrepreneurial entrepreneurship. There were about 40 technology companies on the streets, claiming to be the "electronics street" in Beijing.

The most well-known companies in Zhongguancun are "Two Connects and Two Seas", Xintong, Sitong, Jinghai, and Kehai. Their founders are all scientific researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In Zhongguancun, where intellectuals are crowded, this is a group of offbeat alternatives.

The reason for this situation is related to the general environment at that time. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is on the verge of expansion and transformation. In the past few years, various research institutes have emerged one after another, reaching hundreds of them, but the various research institutes carried out seem to be getting farther and farther away from the international level. For example, the Institute of Computing has put all the efforts of the Institute and spent eight years to develop the large computer "757 Project" was completed and won the "First Prize for Major Scientific and Technological Achievements" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, its computing speed of tens of millions of times per second is shameful compared with the international level, and its research idea with military goals has not received market response.

Under such circumstances, streamlining institutions is imperative, and many people have to reexamine their own way out. Therefore, the most popular sentence in 1984 is to "go to the sea". Find a way out and become a new choice for a group of intellectuals who are unwilling to be lonely.

For example, in his report to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wang Hongde, the founder of Jinghai, resolutely wrote, "No matter what method, transfer, hire, resign, or fire, as long as you can go out, you can do it." Wan Runnan, who founded Sitong Company, praised himself as a "private enterprise" and "no superior supervisor."

Compared with these entrepreneurs, Liu Chuanzhi, who was still unknown at that time, seemed much lower-key. His personality of using force and compromise made him go further than others. From the beginning, Liu Chuanzhi did not completely cut off the mother-son relationship between the company and the computing institute. Not only did he not want to do that, he even wanted to strengthen this close and distant blood relationship in many cases.

At that time, the company's start-up capital was 200,000 yuan allocated by the Institute of Calculation. Lenovo's assets were state-owned enterprises. The appointments of Liu Chuanzhi and others must be approved by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The company's employees can continue to enjoy the right to advance in professional and technical positions and salary within the Institute of Calculation. The company can use the Institute of Calculation for free, and even use the office, telephone and all resources within the Institute. Even the company's loans from banks were all based on the Institute of Calculation for the Chinese Academy of Sciences as the "contract borrower" and the Development Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as the guarantee unit, which naturally solved the problem of early fund source.

While fully enjoying state-owned resources, Liu Chuanzhi enjoys considerable autonomy in finance, personnel and business decision-making power. This is a very mixed state, and no one seems to want to clarify it clearly. Only when Lenovo gradually grows in the future will its asset ownership become sensitive.

When Fan Wubing went to Lenovo's predecessor, he found that this was a small company. The two rooms inside and outside looked like 20 square meters in total. It is said that this was the communication room of the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Many years later, in China, it was often compared with HP's famous Stanford garage. Liu Chuanzhi later recalled that its location was on the east side of the west gate of the Computing Institute. The house was made of bricks, and the outside was dark gray, and the inside was divided into two rooms, cement floors and lime walls. There were no desks or computers in the house. There were two long benches in the outer room, arranged in a row along the corner of the wall. There were two three-drawer tables in the inner room. There were no money to buy on tables and benches. It was a broken thing that others didn't want.

Now, there is a stove in the house, and the room is filled with a pungent smell of coal soot. The white ash-stained walls are cracked, and the dense and small lines are like an unpredictable life. After being smoked by coal soot, the walls are slightly yellowed. Generally speaking, they are still neatly packed, but there are many large cardboard boxes piled in the corners behind, probably for loading goods.

"Are Mr. Liu here?" Fan Wubing sighed and asked a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Mr. Liu?" The man inside was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Oh, Liu Chuanzhi! Are you looking for him? Go out of the gate of the computing center and look at both sides. There is a stall selling electronic watches and roller skates nearby. He is about the same age as me, that person is the one!"

He is really selling shoes! Fan Wubing suddenly felt a little sweaty and thought it was really hard for these intellectuals. Mr. Liu is a senior intellectual, a magnetic recording technology engineer, a famous family, and a scholarly family. His grandfather was the Minister of Finance of the warlord Sun Chuanfang. His father was one of the earliest financiers in the party.

It is really courageous to let him, a Gaozhi in his forties, come to practice the stall!

Fan Wubing looked from a distance and saw a middle-aged man guarding the street stall. Because the weather was cold, he walked over from time to time and stomped his feet slightly. The business was pretty good. People often came to ask or bargain. Fan Wubing also noticed that some clothes were hanging on the wall behind him for sale.

Fan Wubing noticed that the middle-aged man's expression was very focused. Although the elegant demeanor he carries could not be removed, it could not affect his communication and exchanges with the buyer at all. In his faint smile, he was confused about the future exploration path, which made him a little confused.

Fan Ting was surprised that Fan Wubing would come over to see someone practice the stall, "Do you know him?"

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "I know him, he doesn't recognize me." But he continued, "But I guess more and more people will know him in a few years, of course, unless he doesn't want to be known."

"Isn't it just going to go to sea to practice stalls? As for what you said?" Fan Ting was a little suspicious.

Fan Wubing smiled and said nothing more. He deeply saw the middle-aged man who first established a relationship with ibm company in China and became ibm's most important agent in China. Twenty years later, he acquired ibm's PC business unit for US$1.6 billion, and left the place with his sister Fan Ting.

“Is there any fun place nearby?”

"Nearby? It seems that they are all farmlands."

"Is it really gone?"

"It's really not!"
