Rewrite the Technological Landscape

March is the most stalemate month between Dafeng Group and Apple in the computer field. Disappointment with Apple and new understanding of Dafeng Group have stirred up the development pattern of the entire market.

Until April 1st, Apple still held the 30th anniversary celebration of Apple Computer very grandly. At the celebration site, a documentary film was still very emotional. On April 1st, 1976, Jobs and Wozniak Founded the computer company in the garage and developed the first-generation Apple computer with a wooden casing. In Jobs' own words, the world has since been changed.

The scene was also very cooperative and gave warm feedback.

At the same time, at the celebration, Apple announced its computer sales in the first quarter, of which MacBook sold 420,000 units and iMac sold 600,000 units. New MacBooks and iMacs came out in February.

As for why it didn’t make it public, many people already knew it. On the second day after Apple made the 30th anniversary celebration very lively, Dafeng Group also disclosed the computer sales in the first quarter very low-key. In fact, the SG series notebooks were sold. 360,000 units, and 410,000 units of SG series all-in-ones, which are not as good as Apple.

However, Dafeng Group disassembled the data. After disassembling, it will be found that in March alone, 190,000 SG series notebooks were sold, and 220,000 SG series all-in-ones were sold.

If you compare March alone, Gale Group has surpassed Apple. Jobs appointed Cook shortly after. In an interview, he said that it was because after Gale Group took IBM's channel, it launched in more countries than Apple, and the Chinese market is huge.

In fact, this is nonsense. In Huaxia in 2006, there were not many people who could afford more than 10,000 computers.

In addition to Dafeng Group coming out to slap Apple, IBM is also not idle. With the performance of SG Computer, Samuel is in a good mood recently, and he specially moved forward an anniversary event that should be held in a few months to April 5th. That was the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Worldwide Personal Computer.

Apple has just finished celebrating its 30th anniversary, and IBM is about to hold a 25th anniversary celebration and speak with facts. Although Apple built its first desktop computer in a garage in 1976, the first personal computer recognized by the world was released in August 1981. IBMPC5150, so 2006 is the 25th anniversary of personal computers, and I, IBM, are the originator of PCs!

Your Apple 30th anniversary celebration is simply deceiving!

Such merciless frontal confrontation made people feel full of gunpowder. Many media in the United States even began to write provocative articles, saying that IBM will retaliate against Apple crazily. People who eat melons are never too serious.

Meng Qian was also invited to participate in IBM's 25th anniversary celebration, and hosted a very important link with Samuel on the spot, that is, IBM will vigorously support open source.

Donate 1 billion to the Open Source Alliance first, and then donate 2 billion to the Pure Land Project. The whole open source market was shocked when the news came out. IBM actually wants to stand with the open source? In the end what happened.

The reason is very simple. Samuel actually knew that IBM was lagging behind in some things, so he was always curious about whether open source could help IBM? He asked Meng Qian this question no less than ten times, and Meng Qian patiently explained it over and over again.

The answer is yes, and Meng Qian deliberately revealed the deeper value of open source.

So in the end, IBM's top management decided to support open source to a certain extent after several meetings. Meng Qian also took advantage of this opportunity to ask IBM to help him stand up and go to the United States to create a pure land laboratory.

On April 10, U.S. time, the Pure Land Laboratory (USA) officially started construction in San Francisco. Hundreds of companies and institutions gathered at the site. Of the 2 billion donated by IBM, 1 billion will be used for the Pure Land Laboratory in the United States. Dafeng Group also donated In addition to these two companies, well-known industries including Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, Sun Micro, Google, PeopleSoft, etc., of course, Tesla's Musk also came.

Among these enterprises, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, and Sun Microsystems all donated 500 million yuan, Google donated 300 million yuan, and PeopleSoft donated 100 million yuan.

Some other American companies and institutions donated a total of 2.5 billion.

In addition, the total donations of Chinese merchants in Mimi reached 2 billion.

There are also some scattered donations, almost more than 300 million.

It was also from this day that many American companies such as IBM officially became members of the Pure Land Project (Global), and the international influence of the Pure Land Project was greatly stimulated.

That night, everyone had dinner together. Meng Qian also took this opportunity to set up a stage for some Chinese businessmen. The first person Meng Qian met after the meal was Sun Qicheng.

Sun Manyu followed Sun Qicheng to Meng Qian's room. After entering the room, Sun Manyu walked up to Meng Qian and walked around a few times, but he seemed a little scared. He hadn't seen her for a while and could tell that he had some identity, but Meng Qian reached out to hug her. , Sun Manyu still did not resist.

"The company's affairs are bothering Mr. Sun." Meng Qian motioned for Sun Qicheng to take a seat.

Sun Qicheng looked in good condition today, "I will also be paid by Meng's total salary in the future, and I can only work as part of the job, so the time is set on the 15th?"

"Well, taking advantage of the recent increase in word-of-mouth of the Dafeng Group and the circle we have opened up in the United States through IBM, let's start a company in the United States at this time." This time in the United States, another important thing Just opened a branch.

In recent months, Sun Qicheng and Xiao Boshi have been busy with the affairs of the American company, and have completed the basic procedures and framework.

"Then, have you thought about the candidate for the chairman of the country?" Because he has been handling the company's affairs on the front line, Sun Qicheng knows that the position of the chairman here has not been decided yet.

"In fact, I have always had a candidate in my heart. I have visited him nine times, but he has never nodded." Meng Qian sighed softly, "Some people's persistence may really be beyond our comprehension."

"Who is it that Mr. Meng values ​​so much?"

Meng Qian couldn't help smiling wryly, "He's also here today, I don't know if I can convince him tonight."

Although Sun Qicheng was very curious, seeing that Meng Qian didn't want to speak out, he stopped asking, "By the way, this year's Forbes list of the world's richest people is out, have you read it?"

"When did it come out?"

"Just today."

Meng Qian was so busy today that he didn't have time to understand this matter. Hearing what Sun Qicheng said, he turned on the computer and searched.

In China, the Forbes Global Rich List announced today has already been on the hot searches.

Because on this year's Forbes Global Rich List, there are two names that Chinese people are very concerned about.

This year's richest man is still Bill Gates, worth 50 billion yuan, second is Buffett, worth 42 billion yuan, and third is Carlos, worth 30 billion yuan.

And this year's tenth place in the world's richest list is Li Jiacheng, who is worth 18.8 billion yuan.

Another person who has attracted the attention of Chinese people is naturally Meng Qian, who ranks 34th on the Forbes Global Rich List with a net worth of 11.5 billion yuan.

Although it is not as good as Li Jiacheng, although it is nearly 5 times less valuable than Bill Gates, Meng Qian has received global attention. After all, how complicated the calculation of social worth is, many people understand in their hearts that Dafeng Group is not listed. , This set up obstacles for Meng Qian's net worth calculation, coupled with the opacity of China's common industries and the influence of state-owned assets, it is inconvenient for Forbes to calculate his net worth.

Of course, the more important reason why everyone pays attention to Meng Qian is that, even if it is based on this net worth, it is nothing. Meng Qian is only 25 years old.
