Who invented the USB flash drive? What country does he come from?

In the field of computer storage in China, there is a person known as the "father of flash drives"-he is Deng Guoshun, president of Netac and a returned student. In July, 2002 and February, 2004, Netac obtained the global basic invention patent of flash drive in China and the United States respectively, which made Deng Guoshun the only person in China who can be called the "father" in the global computer field. It is well known in China that he and his partner John Cheng invented the world's first flash drive in 1999. Introduction to Sina. Com: Deng Guoshun, 1967 Hunan native, graduated from Sun Yat-sen University with a bachelor's degree in computer science. Later, he obtained a master's degree from Beijing Computer Center of Chinese Academy of Sciences and worked for Lenovo. In the early 1990s, he studied in Singapore and served as the system manager of Philips Asia Pacific. Later, together with John Cheng, we developed the world's first USB flash drive, which was named USB flash drive, and created a brand-new USB flash drive industry in the world. 1999 returned to China to start a business, and established Shenzhen Netac Technology Co., Ltd., with successive presidents. In July, 2002, Netac Technology Company officially obtained the invention patent of "flash drive" authorized by China National Intellectual Property Administration, which filled the gap of invention patent in the field of computer storage in China for 20 years-Deng Guoshun was praised as "the father of flash drive" by the industry. The father of USB flash drive is in China! In the development history of computer industry for more than 20 years, the halo of "the father of XX" hung over China people for the first time, which is undoubtedly worth celebrating. But Deng Guoshun never regarded the halo as a personal honor. He said that flash drives will completely replace floppy drives and become the standard configuration of computers in the next two years. The standard will be initiated and formulated by China Netac Company, which is regarded as the beginning of the "standard era" of China computer industry. Deng Guoshun even thinks that "the father of flash drives" has given him more sense of national mission. Supposedly, the first VCD was born in Wanyan, China, but where is Wanyan now? DVD enterprises in China should collectively pay royalties abroad! Deng often thinks that if he has a strong ability, if he applies for a patent in time and resolutely takes up legal weapons to deal with the swarming imitations, then today he may have become a "big MAC" among China's home appliance enterprises, maybe he can say "no" to foreign giants, and maybe China enterprises can bargain with their own people. Too much blindness has become a historical regret! Therefore, when Deng Guoshun invented the flash drive, he immediately applied for invention patents in China National Intellectual Property Administration, China and more than 20 countries around the world. Deng Guoshun, who has studied in Singapore for six years, believes that successful enterprises are similar, and the successful experiences of many international "giant" enterprises should be widely used for reference; Deng Guoshun also firmly believes that China enterprises can stand on their own feet among the "international giants" only if they really have core technologies and invention patents. At present, Netac Technology has achieved the first market share in the domestic mobile storage market for four consecutive years, and it is far ahead of the second-ranked competitors, and the popularity of USB flash drives is a household name. In just a few years, Netac Technology, led by Deng Guoshun, has rapidly increased its annual sales from zero to several hundred million yuan, becoming the largest supplier of mobile storage products in the world. At present, 30% of its sales revenue comes from the United States, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other places. June 5438+October 2003 10, Deng Guoshun won the title of "Advanced Individual of Returned Overseas Students in China" and was cordially received by the party and state leaders. This is by far the highest honor given by China to international students. In June 5438+065438+ 10 of the same year, Netac Technology Company won the "2003 China Enterprise Export Achievement Award" and became the first batch of "Guangdong Top 100 Private Intellectual Property Enterprises" together with other well-known enterprises in Guangdong. Deng Guoshun's goal: to make Netac a global leader in mobile storage and wireless data.
