Spending a lot of money to recruit scientific researchers, Yang Dongxu naturally hopes to engage in research and development, so that he can stand at the top of the world pyramid in terms of computer hardware production.
However, if we simply produce computers, the time can still be estimated. After all, although computers are still a rarity for mainlanders, they are already mass-produced in some developed countries.
Even if Mirov cannot complete the technical integration for a while, after the production line is completed, the worst case scenario is to imitate it first, and then slowly develop the technology. In short, computers need to be produced quickly, and a computer needs to be established quickly in the domestic blank market. brand.
When he arrived at the factory, Yang Dongxu first went to Ye Rongrong's office to get a general idea of the current situation in the factory. He couldn't help but frowned when he saw the academic level of the more than 400 workers in the factory.
Assembly line workers basically don't need any education level. They just need to be able to distinguish what they need to do and what they can't do. But as a technology company, if it wants to cultivate its own talent ladder reserve, such academic level is not enough.
"Is it difficult to recruit employees with academic qualifications?" Yang Dongxu asked with a frown.
"It's easier than before, but many people value the iron rice bowl more." Ye Rongrong sighed.
Thinking of all the troubles she went through to recruit training staff with junior high school diplomas for the bb production line, she also had a headache about the academic qualifications of her employees.
Not to mention now, even in the future, the attractiveness of the iron rice bowl to people will not be comparable to that of private enterprises. What's more, not to mention college students, even high school students are assigned. After all, there are only a few high school graduates like Ye Rongrong who have their own ideas.
"How would you feel about opening a school?"
"Opening a school?" Ye Rongrong was stunned for a moment. Yang Dongxu's thoughts were jumping too fast and she couldn't keep up for a while.
"Yes, school, technical school." Yang Dongxu nodded.
The more he thought about running a technical school by himself, the more Yang Dongxu felt that this method was great. Now the entire country is short of talents. As a private company that is not regarded as an iron rice bowl, it is simply impossible for you to compete with the country for talents.
In addition, since scientific researchers with sensitive identities can be poached from the north, it is obviously easy to poach a few teachers. After all, if you can't recruit well-known professors, you can recruit ordinary highly educated teachers. For example, computer programming teachers are a very good choice.
"Technical school?" Various pheasant universities are not popular now, so Ye Rongrong is a little confused about what the technical school is.
"It's a school that cultivates skills. Just treat it as a big training class."
"What diploma level?"
"It's higher than junior high school, it's equivalent to high school." Yang Dongxu thought for a moment and said.
"Is this possible?" Ye Rongrong felt that Yang Dongxu was a little whimsical.
In the countryside, she had heard of private elementary schools and private middle schools, but could private high schools be allowed in this country?
"It's not a formal school." Yang Dongxu waved his hand, and then felt that this expression was inaccurate: "It's not informal, I mean it's not the kind of high school you went to. We don't teach you the things you learned in high school, we only teach you technology.
For example, operators on the bb machine production line, or we may need mechanics in other factories in the future, etc. Just like in the past, when young people wanted to learn a craft, they sought out an old craftsman to become a master. But here, one master can lead more apprentices. "
"Then how to recruit students? Where do you plan to set up a school?"
"I haven't thought about this clearly yet. I'll talk about it when I think about it clearly. You first select the people who need training, and the training teachers will arrive in a few days." Although I feel that this sudden inspiration is very awesome, but the specific operation Getting up does not happen overnight, so Yang Dongxu needs to plan carefully.
...
...
After Yang Dongxu stayed in Shenzhen for three days, Milov finally came up with a general result. It is impossible to directly produce computers, because although many technologies are very high-end, they cannot be mass-produced at all. If they go to public relations one by one , the time required cannot be calculated at all, and many technologies are not what they are good at.
Therefore, Yang Dongxu directly integrated the technical personnel and production lines of computer manufacturers into one pot, otherwise he would not be able to realize his dream of producing all-in-one computers for the time being. However, although it is not possible to produce computers, it is possible to produce computer hard drives, even if the hard drive is only a pitiful 1.2gb in size.
"Can we only produce hard drives?" Yang Dongxu frowned and glanced at the technology list compiled by Mirov. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little depressed when he thought that computers could only be produced by imitation. However, he frowned and suddenly froze: "How do you say image and sound compression technology in English?"
Seeing this technology, Yang Dongxu seemed to have caught something for a while, but for a while he couldn't tell what this thing was. It's like meeting an acquaintance whose name is on your lips, but you just can't call him out.
"It should be the moving picture experts group."
"mpeg..." Yang Dongxu knitted his brows closer and kept mumbling the abbreviation of this technical term. As he chanted, he stood up suddenly, startling Mirov and others.
"Oh no, it turns out to be this thing. I said why it looked so familiar to me. Is this thing productive?" Yang Dongxu changed from the previous disappointment to ecstasy.
Isn't mpeg the basic technology for vcd production? In his previous life, his first job was in a factory that produced VCDs. The English abbreviation looked so familiar. It was 1995 or 1996.
In short, the VCD industry was very popular at that time. In addition to various big brands, various small factories sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, which were even more popular than today's tape manufacturers.
"This is just an image and sound storage technology that is not very difficult, but whether it can be produced can only be determined after testing." Mirov carefully reviewed the information about this technology and said.
"Then develop this first. Stop what you are doing and work hard to develop this and produce samples as soon as possible." Yang Dongxu was a little excited and couldn't help himself.
Really, if you plant flowers intentionally, you will not be able to paint, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade. Who would have thought that the technicians who spent huge sums of money to recruit could not produce computers, and ended up getting out the VCD.
When was the first VCD produced? I can’t remember clearly, but it seems to be called Wanyan, and it was produced by Chinese people. But if you don’t remember it, you won’t remember it. As soon as the technology matures, Hu Yang Dongxu will determine it.
"This aspect is not what I am good at. I transferred the data and took it back to the laboratory to negotiate with them. However, this technology is not very difficult. I think there should be results in a short time."
"Then try to hurry up." Yang Dongxu held Mirov's hand a little excitedly and asked him to give the result quickly.
After sending Mirov out, Yang Dongxu drank several cups of tea before calming down. This calmness made him frown again.
Mirov only said that the mpeg technology that made Yang Dongxu particularly excited was ordinary. This was not to show that he was awesome, but that this technology was really not difficult. This can be seen from the proliferation of cvd manufacturers in later generations.
Piracy!
These were the two big words that suddenly flashed in Yang Dongxu's mind after he had calmed down. It is basically impossible to eliminate piracy in the face of profit, but how to protect the peaches on your own tree from being picked by others is an issue that must be carefully considered.
"Apply for a patent?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin with his hand.
It is necessary to apply for a patent, but how to apply is a technical task, and it is not only necessary to apply domestically, but also internationally.
Only after applying internationally, especially after successfully applying in the United States, he can not worry about foreign patent rights for the time being, but there seems to be no big difference between applying and not applying domestically, even if he can use the patent to block the more famous BBK, and The necks of big brands such as Aido and Xinke, but what about the countless small manufacturers?
And he may not be able to tie the necks of these big brands that may appear. When they are fighting lawsuits and producing and selling at the same time, can you bite them?
"Damn, I need to prepare technical reserves for DVDs from now on and be ready for upgrading." Yang Dongxu rubbed his forehead and felt a headache. In the past, he always plagiarized other people's stuff and felt happy.
When it is the turn of others to plagiarize the technology that I bought with real money, I will be so angry that I will strangle all those who plagiarized to death.
"Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation. If you don't believe it, look up and see who God will spare."
With Yang Dongxu, who had seen the bug of VCD with his own eyes, and technology masters like Milov, MPEG technology was transformed into physical objects very quickly. In less than half a month, physical machines and CDs were produced.
The physical machine that appeared in the laboratory did not have any aesthetic appeal. All kinds of threads and original parts were exposed, just like a stripped robot. However, although the thing is ugly, it has various functions.
When the VCD was connected to the TV that had just been moved in, the TV screen flashed a few times and the images and sounds recorded on the disc were successfully displayed. Everyone in the laboratory was very excited.
Even though this technology is not too advanced in the eyes of these researchers, the transformed entities look very great, making them feel like they have opened up a new era.
"The picture is not very stable, and there is a lot of noise during playback. We need to fix it as soon as possible next time and prepare for mass production."
"I will sort these out as soon as possible." Mirov said with a smile.
"How long will it take if you want to mass-produce it?"
"At least half a year." Mirov thought for a while and said.
"Does it take so long?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment. He thought that Milov could produce the prototype in half a month. Obviously the technology has matured. For mass production, even if the time to set up the production line is included, it would take an estimated three months. It should be fine. Who would have thought that it would take half a year to lay the foundation.
"There is a big gap between the prototype made in the laboratory and the mass-produced physical machine. First of all, cost is a big issue. We spent about US$560,000 to make this little thing. Are you willing to produce it at this cost? ?”
"So expensive?" Yang Dongxu looked stunned. He knew that doing scientific research cost money. But he really couldn't imagine that it cost $560,000 to get a VCD.
What a joke to use this cost to produce. According to the official exchange rate, it costs more than two million yuan. To use so much money to produce a VCD, is he crazy, or is the buyer crazy...
