"the first bucket of gold"

In the 1970s, the second-generation phototypesetter was popular in Japan, and the third-generation CRT phototypesetter was popular in Europe and America. As early as 1976, Professor Wang Xuan made a far-sighted decision: skip the second and third generations and directly develop the fourth generation laser phototypesetting system.

The wave of new technological revolution led by Professor Wang Xuan, "Farewell to lead and fire, welcome to light and electricity", not only opened the prelude of knowledge economy in China, but also endowed science and technology with far-reaching practical significance to create civilization and benefit mankind.

Founder typesetting system is the magic weapon for Founder to start a business. In the 1980s and 1990s, this product swept the publishing software market at home and abroad with a strong momentum, which not only occupied most of the domestic and foreign markets, but also captured many sites at home and abroad. The outstanding achievement of Founder typesetting system is not only the pride of Founder, but also the pride of China software industry.

Early stage of entrepreneurship

From 65438 to 0978, after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with the shift of the focus of the Party's work to economic construction, China started the prelude of reform and opening up. That is, in this historical background, in the mid-1980s, "Zhongguancun Electronic Street", various scientific and technological enterprises sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

1985 At the beginning of this year, Zhang Yufeng, a lecturer in the Department of Physics of Peking University, and four other teachers set up the Science and Technology Development Department of Peking University. In a small room of 10 square meter by the lake of Weiming, relying on the fund of 30,000 yuan provided by Peking University, they started the arduous road to the glory of Fang Zhengzhi today.

1In August, 986, Peking University New Technology Company was formally incorporated. At that time, Peking University invested 400,000 yuan.

At the beginning of 1988, the annual sales of Peking University New Technology Company reached 50 million yuan, making it an influential private technology enterprise in Zhongguancun. At this time, under the advocacy of Professor Wang Xuan, Peking University got the permission of the State Economic Commission at that time and decided to transfer the patent and technology of the Chinese character laser phototypesetting system developed by Professor Wang Xuan to the company. Since then, the company leaders with Zhang Yufeng as the core have sized up the situation and started to cooperate with Peking University Institute of Computing led by Professor Wang Xuan to directly engage in the development, production and sales of laser phototypesetting system for Chinese characters, which made the company enter a new development stage.

At the end of 1988, the "Huaguang" IV system was introduced to the society. Soon, the "Huaguang" Ⅳ system entered thousands of newspapers all over the country like a whirlwind, and exported to overseas markets, thus pushing the "second revolution of China printing industry" to a climax.

199 1, Founder Company further developed Huaguang system into Peking University Founder 9 1 electronic publishing system, and realized the functions of full-page transmission, regional networking and CD archiving. After that, Founder color laser phototypesetting system came out quickly, which made the color desktop system developed in China enter the domestic and foreign markets and set off a "color revolution" in the printing and publishing industry.

1993 At the beginning of this year, Founder Group of Peking University was formally established, which is another new milestone in the history of Founder Development of Peking University. Since then, the company has accelerated the development of diversified, internationalized and demutualized high-tech enterprises while completing collectivization.

Sustainable development stage

Founder is in the stage of steady development. On the one hand, expand the market overseas; On the other hand, through industrial integration and relying on Peking University,

Give full play to the advantages of independent innovation and make Founder Group develop steadily on the international market economy stage.

At the beginning of 1994, Founder's high-grade color electronic publishing system was announced.

1995 was a year when Founder Group was at a critical turning point and achieved brilliant results. At this time, Founder Group has developed for nine years and its commercial operation has begun to take shape. How to expand the business field in an all-round way again and realize the second venture with high efficiency and rapid growth has become a major issue faced by all founders. Therefore, under the leadership of Peking University, Founder Group successfully and satisfactorily realized the transformation of the old and new leadership systems. At the same time, with the approval of the State Council Securities Commission, Founder Group successfully implemented the reform of enterprise shareholding system.

1995 65438+February 2 1, Founder (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. was officially listed in Hong Kong. The completion of the shareholding system reform is another important milestone in the development history of Founder Group, which marks the development of Founder Group to a new level and provides a strong support and solid foundation for the real second venture of Founder Group.

During the period of 1997, Founder Group was selected as one of the 120 national large-scale pilot enterprise groups, one of the first six national technological innovation pilot enterprises and one of the five PC manufacturers supported by the state.

From 65438 to 0998, Peking University, represented by Founder Group, entered Zhong Yan and successfully realized the transformation from "Zhong Yan Industry" to "Founder Technology".

Personnel "earthquake"

Founder of Peking University may be a place where personnel changes frequently in domestic enterprises. People will wonder why this famous school-run enterprise with good performance and "Peking University spirit" is always in the "earthquake zone".

Founder, as an enterprise, originated from the laser phototypesetting system, which was originally the 863 project led by Professor Wang Xuan. The industrialization of this project gave birth to Founder of Peking University. Because the technology owned by the project has brought revolutionary changes, Founder has gained huge market space and once "exploded" growth. Rapid growth masks extensive management. From 65438 to 0997, the development of laser phototypesetting market began to stabilize, and the growth of founders reached the ceiling. Loose management and wrong diversification strategy dragged Founder into the quagmire of losses.

Founder's first crisis, the most important one so far, occurred around 1998 and 1999. What is memorable is that 1998 founder's performance dropped sharply, which led to widespread criticism, forced palace incident, founder's personnel earthquake, and the subsequent founder's equity turmoil.

1998 Founder Holdings, a listed company in Hong Kong, reported a loss of HK$ 65,438+68 million. Peking University is disturbed.

199, Peking University unexpectedly went downhill, and the total profit and tax decreased from 330 million yuan in198 to 240 million yuan.

1999 in April, Li Hansheng, the former vice president in charge of sales in China of Hewlett-Packard Company, was appointed as the president of Founder Electronics Co., Ltd.

During the period of 1999, the internal struggle of Founder became fully open with a "forced palace incident". Wang Xuan and the chairman both left the board of directors, Zhang Bao remained as the chairman of Shanghai Founder Technology Industrial Company, and Wang remained as the chairman of Hong Kong Founder Board of Directors. Min Weifang, deputy secretary and vice president of Peking University Party Committee, is the chairman of Founder Group, while Wei Xin, deputy director of Peking University Production Office, and Xiao Jianguo, president of Founder Research Institute, are the vice chairmen.

In 2000, Wei Xin became the vice chairman of Founder Group.

200 1, the event of the founder of yuxing placard occurred. On May 30th, 20001,Founder Group of Peking University held a press conference in Beijing, announcing its decision to dismiss Zhu, vice president of the group. Zhang Zhaodong, president of Founder Group, delegated power, and Wei became the new chairman of Founder Technology. 200 1 1 1, Shortly after the high-definition placard storm, Min Weifang, the former chairman of Founder Group, no longer took office and was replaced by Wei Xin.

On July 26th, 20001year, Shi became the general manager of Founder Computer Company. When Shi took office, he told the media that "with the end of the personnel dispute marked by Zhu's withdrawal and the gradual establishment of the modern enterprise system, the management team of Founder Computer has reached a relatively stable period". At the same time, he also expressed confidence in catching up with Lenovo within three years.

But after June 65438 +2002 10, Shi never appeared on behalf of Founder Computer again, and Zhou Xianfeng appeared in public. Soon, Shi officially announced his resignation from Founder Computer for confidential reasons. Since 1998 became the holding company of Zhong Yan Science and Technology of Founder Group of Peking University, Founder Computer, like his predecessor, was the fifth general manager to leave class, and the reason for leaving class was not due to poor management or losses to listed companies.

All this happened by accident, but it is also closely related to the expansion of Founder's business and industrial transformation. The negative goal of these incidents was to try to shake the origin and affiliation of Founder of Peking University, so that Founder Group at that time had to severely warn its subsidiaries that it was absolutely not allowed to wander outside Fang Zhengzhi of Peking University and establish an independent kingdom.

In several struggles for dominance and control, Peking University easily became the winner, which on the one hand benefited from its strong strength and profound cultural background, and on the other hand benefited from its mass base and high corporate cohesion. These forces often play an important role in the most critical moment of Peking University.

Future-oriented diversified "monsters"

Since the listing of Shenzhen Datong, its main business has been shrinking, and it was labeled as ST in 1998 and 1999 due to continuous losses. Although I took off my hat in 2000, my main business is still depressed and my operation has not been fundamentally improved. Nanhai Baijun, who once owned 30.63% of the actual voting rights, chose to quit within six months for a reason.

But Suzhou Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. has more than 10000 employees and is a big shot. Although the profit in 2002 was several million yuan, at present, many experts have questioned the folk "big steelmaking", thinking that there is already a bubble component, and it is doubtful whether it can maintain profitability. Besides, the old state-owned enterprise Su Gang must have faults.

In March 2004, Founder began to integrate the medical resources of Peking University and cut into the medical field in the form of a medical management company.

Founder is currently integrating internal and external resources to build a medical and pharmaceutical platform.

One core is original technology, and two wheels are industry and capital. Founder Group divides its industries into IT, finance and traditional industries, which are led by four groups: Founder Industry Holding Group, Founder Financial Holding Group, Founder Software Holding Group and Founder Investment Holding Group.

In April, 2004, with the resignation of Wei Xin and Zhou Xianfeng, the former presidents of Founder Technology for many years, the backbone of the PC department "defected collectively", which highlighted the personnel shock caused by the change of the president of Founder Technology and the escalation of the struggle between Founder Entrepreneurship and Peking University.

In the development process of more than ten years, Founder used to be a professional company with original laser phototypesetting technology, but now in everyone's eyes, Founder is an incomprehensible "monster". Involved in steel, pharmacy, finance, communication, jumping around in diversification. Is founder's strategy of "the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the south is black and the north is there" conducive to future development?

Founder Group insists on focusing on IT, medical care and medicine, selectively enters some traditional industries, and actively seeks opportunities for leap-forward development, mainly by learning from GE (General Electric) model and developing into an "expanding specialized company", which greatly reduces the business risks of enterprises. Make Founder solid, strong and big, and become an international enterprise group.
