With the release of "Titanic", 1997 is gradually coming to an end, and 1998 is here.

As the old and new changes, Xia Tian suddenly looked back and summarized his achievements last year.

Overall, last year, his performance was very good.

In 1997, with the passing of the economic crisis, the Southeast Asian economy gradually improved, which greatly increased its investment returns in Southeast Asia. Real estate in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Pattaya, Jakarta and other places all increased significantly due to economic recovery.

Especially in Hong Kong, because its economic foundation is good, the economic recovery will be faster after the economic crisis is lifted. Business in Hong Kong is already very big in the summer, so now that now the economy recovers, it will naturally make more profits.

In addition to telecommunications and power companies have been established one after another and seized the market, the business territory in summer has been further consolidated, and industries have complemented each other, leaving fewer and fewer blind spots.

...

As the economy recovers, energy prices have also risen.

For example, oil prices were only seventeen dollars per barrel at the beginning of the year, but now it has risen to twenty dollars per barrel, and the price of oil per barrel has risen by three dollars. Domestic coal prices rose from 156 yuan per ton to 160 yuan, up by four yuan.

The prices of mineral resources such as iron ore, natural gas, copper ore, lead ore, graphite have also increased slightly with the economic recovery. Among them, the best performance is rare earth resources. With the development of the semiconductor industry, rare earth resources are becoming more and more important, and prices are also rising year by year.

Before the summer, Tianxia Energy bought a lot of minerals, but now these minerals have increased with the price rising, which has also kept the stock price of Tianxia Energy still high.

...

In terms of Tianxia Technology, several new websites were founded last summer. Yueyin Internet media, Lexiang Reading, Lightning Email, Kuaike Chat, Tianxia Wallet, etc., all fill the market gap and have development potential.

Every website has reached its peak state and its market value will not be less than 100 billion US dollars. Therefore, the focus of future development in the summer will also be on these websites, and we will strive to make their websites develop to world-class levels.

In terms of systems, the genius operating system made the most important update to date last year, which is the launch of the 64-bit genius operating system.

What makes a 64-bit operating system stronger than a 32-bit operating system is that it can take advantage of the advantages of a 64-bit processor to perform better when processing multimedia content.

In addition, a 32-bit system can only support 3.25g memory, while a 64-bit system can support larger memory, which theoretically supports unlimited memory expansion.

In 1997, 64-bit processors were still rare, mainly used in supercomputers, top workstations and servers. Therefore, the users faced by 64-bit operating systems are mainly these high-end users.

The genius operating system launched a 64-bit version, which is precisely to compete with Windows for these high-end users. Because these high-end users are actually the largest paid users of the operating system.

In order to ensure the security and stability of the operating system, they often need to request services from the system development company to meet the daily maintenance and upgrade of the system. These services are all paid.

For example, the Atm machine commonly used in the banking industry uses the WindowsXP operating system. Because Microsoft stopped supporting the WindowsXP system service, banks had to upgrade the Atm machine system to avoid hacking.

The system upgrade fee for each Atm machine is more than 1,000 US dollars, and there are more than 200,000 Atm machines in North America alone. In this way, Microsoft can earn more than 200,000 US dollars in revenue just by system upgrade.

The Atm machine is just a small part of the Windows system application. There are also a large number of servers, computers, workstations, etc. that use the Windows system. All of them are added together. The system upgrade and maintenance costs are naturally very considerable.

The genius operating system has launched a 64-bit version, which is to compete with Windows for these high-end customers.

In addition, with the upgrading of chip technology, personal computers will also introduce 64-bit processors in the future. Although personal computer users are not as much as high-end users, the number of individual users is much more than that of high-end users. Therefore, it can also bring considerable income.

The genius operating system is the first commercial 64-bit operating system, and Microsoft is still developing a pure 32-bit Windows operating system. It can be said that the progress has lagged behind Tianxia Technology.

In the future, it will be difficult to compete with Tianxia Technology for the share of the operating system.

Because the genius operating system releases the 64-bit version first, it can seize high-end users one step ahead. High-end users are more likely to attract software developers because of their high willingness to pay.

By then, the 64-bit version of the genius operating system will have more support for 64-bit software, which will naturally be more attractive to users.

With such a virtuous cycle, after development, the genius operating system will naturally win the operating system market share more than Windows.

Therefore, the genius operating system's first release of a 64-bit operating system is indeed a very significant improvement. It may become a turning point in the development of Microsoft and World Technology.

...

It is worth mentioning that this year, Tianxia Technology will no longer launch the fourth generation of Apocalypse mobile phones, but will instead introduce the third generation of Apocalypse mobile phones enhanced version.

The reason for this is that this year's Apocalypse mobile phone innovation is not very strong. It basically improves the configuration, but there are no major innovations that are eye-catching. Therefore, it can only be considered an enhanced version, not the fourth generation.

In addition, Xia Tian also wants to slow down the innovation of Apocalypse mobile phones. After all, a smartphone is essentially a handheld computer, so its functions are similar to those of a computer and it has not been advanced anywhere. All its functions are just ported computer functions, and they are essentially no different.

Xia Tian knew that computer innovation had actually stagnated for a long time. The basic configurations of computers such as screens, memory, chips, hard disks, graphics cards, etc. are not much different from those in the 1990s and there is no essential innovation.

Therefore, smartphones are like computers, and innovation is getting slower and less expensive. If they do not slow down their progress now and still launch new phones at the rate of innovation once a year, then in less than two years, they will basically come to an end.

By then, users' appetites have been tricked. Once innovation slows down, they are likely to be dissatisfied and full of complaints.

At that time, the reputation of Tianqi Mobile is likely to plummet and will lose the user's favor from then on.

So it is better to slow down and innovate in two years. In this way, time will be more abundant and polishing new phones will be more meticulous.
