Not long after Fang Chen arrived at the VCD plant, there was a sudden riot in the plant, under the watchful eyes of the workers, down to the workshop director, the branch director, to the executive vice president of the company, and the general manager rushed to the east and west of the plant like a wolf, busy and busy, sweating profusely and panting on their foreheads.

No problem, who asked Fang Chen, the big boss, to check the quality of the VCD.

Check it, check the quality of VCD, this is within the scope of Fang Chen's inspection this time, Jin Zhijiang and they have already prepared, but who would have thought that Fang Chen would directly inspect the last order of the production line, and randomly inspect it on site.

That is to say, as soon as the VCD came off the production line, Fang Chen had to take a random one to check, and it was still according to one, and he couldn't understand the user identity of those messy testing equipment, but how could there be conditions for inspection on the spot, let alone as a user.

Naturally, they are the ones who should move the TV, the table who should move the table, and the chair who should move the chair.

Picking and choosing, ten VCDs were pulled down from the production line at will, and Fang Chen asked people to turn them on, plug them in, and connect them one by one.

As the pictures appeared from the TV one by one, Jin Zhijiang and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this level was passed.

Although they have basically controlled the defective rate of VCD at one in a thousand, and there is a final inspection procedure in the check, but any industrial products in the production process, will produce substandard products due to various problems, which is unavoidable, or what after-sales service, 86 years above the release of the "three guarantees of some domestic household appliances" why.

If there are unqualified products, it is natural to put them on weekdays, as long as they are detected, even if they are really not good, they will be sent to the hands of customers, and they will do a good job in after-sales and return services.

But now if they are bumped into by Mr. Fang, it means that their work during this period of time is unqualified, even if they are completely denied, they have nothing to say.

Seeing that there were no quality problems with the ten VCDs in the random inspection, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Fang Chen's eyes, and then he turned his head and asked, "What is the localization rate of VCDs?" ”

The production of VCD is not a particularly difficult thing, especially the installation of this part, basically a screwdriver, can be completed, and even the establishment of the production line is just to distribute each person with a screwdriver to the installation of different parts.

What really has some technical content is the production of these parts inside.

A/V decoding circuit boards, movement and servo prevention circuit boards, power supply circuit boards, transformers, RF modulator circuit boards, karaoke circuit operation display panels, etc., and even the chassis are more technical than VCD assembly.

Hearing this, although Jin Zhijiang had been prepared, his heart still couldn't help but pound, and his scalp was numb.

He said stubbornly: "The localization rate of VCD can basically reach 70%, of which the casing, karaoke circuit, operation display panel, microphone signal output interface, transformer, diode rectifier circuit are all made by some of our domestic suppliers, but the use of the three core components, such as the core, laser head assembly, and decoding chip is basically zero." ”

As soon as Jin Zhijiang's voice landed, Fang Chen's face instantly became a little ugly, and the middle and senior managers of the surrounding little overlords lowered their heads in shame, especially those technical leaders who were responsible for tackling the three core components, and they were even more eager to have a crack in the ground now, so that they could get in.

The scientific research funds allocated to them by Mr. Fang are basically tens of millions, and the three major items add up to basically not hundreds of millions, but also seventy or eighty million, and Mr. Duan and Mr. Jin have not given them a small stove, and even the largest, highest, and most luxurious building in the new factory area is their technology research and development department.

Seeing that Fang Chen didn't speak for a long time, Jin Zhijiang had to bite the bullet and continued: "In fact, the technology research and development department has made some achievements, but it can barely use that level, and there is still a large gap between Sony and Philips' movements and laser heads, as for the decoding chip of Scooper, we have not been able to crack and master it so far, let alone imitate and produce." ”

The movement is actually easy to say, basically some mechanical things, but because it is too small and too precise, the movement produced by Xiaobawang itself is not easy to use.

Just in terms of the movement, the size of a palm, the movement with only the thickness of the workbook, is composed of a tray in and out mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a disc rotation mechanism, a detection mechanism and an objective lens mechanism, etc., more than a dozen mechanisms.

And these mechanisms, such as the tray in and out of the mechanism, are composed of drive gears, racks, lifting rods, lowering plates, lifting clips, stop pins and the left and right side plates on the movement support, etc., and more than a dozen parts.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is a dojo in a screw shell.

The laser head is even more complicated, and the laser head is only the size of a fingernail, and contains more than a dozen parts of the laser generator, semi-reflective prism, objective lens, lens, and photodiode.

The production and assembly of these parts alone is a very difficult task.

Moreover, the laser head is not only developed and produced, it is over, and it must be easy to use.

In terms of whether the laser head is excellent or not, the two most important criteria are tracking performance and focusing performance.

During the whole process of reading data by the laser head, tracing and focusing directly affect the error correction ability and stability of the optical drive. Tracing is all about keeping the laser head correctly aligned with the track in which the data is recorded at all times.

If the tracking performance of the optical drive is very poor, there will be a phenomenon of reading data errors when reading the disk, the most typical is the skipping phenomenon when reading the audio track, the so-called focusing, which means that the laser head can accurately hit the beam on the disc and receive the strongest signal.

It is these strict requirements and complex use environment that make the tolerance design standards of the laser head extremely high and the processes extremely complex.

Now the laser head developed and produced by Xiaobawang is not easy to use, and the rejection rate is extremely high.

And if you are entangled in a single part, such as a laser generator and a semi-reflective prism, it is basically imported from abroad, and it is impossible to produce these very precise optical parts in China.

As for the decoding chip, it is even more useless, although Qingtian is a high-tech enterprise, but the business is the production and research and development of some complete machines, and the proportion of self-produced parts is not high.

He begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and reached a cooperation agreement with some domestic computer colleges and universities, as well as chip companies, to let them develop decoding chips for Xiaobawang, but to be honest, the progress is really basically zero.

The design of the chip is still a little bit more, the domestic chip design level is basically only five years away from the foreign chip design level, but when it comes to production, it is too far and too far, and now the domestic mainstream process technology is still at 10 microns, which is basically equivalent to the level of the western developed countries fifteen years ago.

Like Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments, these foreign companies, including TSMC in Wanwan, which mainly develop CPU processors, reached 3 microns in 1987, and increased to 1 micron in 1990, as for last year, it broke through the micron mark and advanced the CPU process technology to nanometers, 800 nanometers, and 0.8 microns.

Intel's latest CPU, the integrated transistors in the Pentium processor, has reached a terrifying number of 3.1 million transistors.

It is so many transistors that have been replaced by Intel's Pentium processors that have reached 60MHz and 66Mhz, such ultra-high main frequency, and there is still huge room for upgrades.

"Our movement and laser head are basically ready to use, but the effect is too poor, in line with the spirit of being responsible for the company and consumers, I decided not to use our own movement and laser head. ”

After saying this, Jin Zhijiang's clenched fist was released.

sighed even more in his heart, some words were still spoken, at this time he was calm in his heart, and the whole person suddenly relaxed a lot.

To tell the truth, there is a boss like Fang Chen who pays special attention to the self-owned rate of technology and production capacity, as well as the localization rate, and then makes the core components that have been developed at a huge cost to the company and countless manpower, material and financial resources.

But he has no choice, he can only choose this way, if he hands over such a VCD, which is not even qualified, to the consumer, then he is committing a crime.

Crimes against consumers, crimes against Xiaobawang, and crimes against Duan and Fang.

He is knocking down the golden signboard that Xiaobawang has worked so hard to build.

After listening to Jin Zhijiang's words, Fang Chen sighed helplessly, then turned his head and swept over the many lowered heads one by one.

"I actually don't blame you, what is the strength level of the three VCD core components in the domestic movement, laser head, chip, I still know it, just to hear such news, I feel a little panicked, we are known as a high-tech enterprise, if these core components are all purchased from outside, we are only responsible for some relatively basic, difficult screen display, circuit boards, etc., then we are embarrassed to call it the first high-tech enterprise in China? Probably not. Fang Chen said in a sincere tone.

Hearing that Fang Chen didn't blame them, everyone's heads couldn't help but lower, and their hearts became more and more ashamed.

"And I also agree with Mr. Jin's decision, although Qingtian is committed to improving the level of science and technology in China, for the country, for the society, for the people to develop and produce products with higher scientific and technological content, with core technology, can bring convenience and happiness to everyone. But as a production company, the minimum job is to provide consumers with qualified products, if even this most basic thing can not be done, then Qingtian, then Xiaobawang naturally has no need to exist, and the possibility of existence, consumers will teach us how to behave. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Chen suddenly laughed twice, "Everyone's psychological burden is not too heavy, you can't be a fat person in one bite, the meal is always to be eaten in one bite, now everyone can study the movement and laser head to this extent, I am already very grateful to everyone, and I will give everyone an extra chicken leg at noon, which will be counted as a small reward, encourage everyone to make persistent efforts, and wait until the day of success, I will celebrate everyone's success." ”

Suddenly, Jin Zhijiang couldn't help but whisper beside Fang Chen: "Mr. Fang......"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Zhijiang's face was full of shame, to be honest, it was better to let Fang Chen give him two punches now, and if he didn't do it, he would be fined two months' salary.

He always believes that the company has invested such a big cost, but Xiaobawang has only made the two things of the movement and the laser head like this, and he has a great leadership responsibility.

"Scientific research is something that can't be rushed, as long as everyone pays attention, I believe this, you can promise me. ”

Fang Chen said in a calm tone, especially when he said the truth of the last sentence, and glanced at Jin Zhijiang deeply.

To be honest, after investing so much, he has some hope for Xiaobawang, and thinks that he can make something, but the result is still not reflected in the whole VCD machine, and he is indeed a little disappointed.

But scientific research is like this, it does not transfer according to the will of man, at least not according to his will, he wants to localize the movement and laser head, and if he defeats Sony and Philips, he will defeat it?

Impossible!

Seeing that everyone was still demoralized, Fang Chen's mind moved, and he said with a smile: " So let's look at our own research results, we can't make 100% localized products, get out 95%, 90% of the products are also good, our research results are not as good as others, but if there is, it is a huge victory, Hanyang is indeed inferior to aircraft artillery, even less than atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, but after all, it can also kill people, holding it in the hand, it is better than holding a burning stick, whether it is good or not, let's not talk about it, we first solve the problem of whether there is or not, this is more important. ”

"Besides, we still have a lot of room for improvement, and I believe that through everyone's efforts, sooner or later, we will replace them. ”

Immediately afterwards, Fang Chen turned his head to Jin Zhijiang and said: "Go, use our own movement and laser head to save a VCD, and the parts on this VCD can be used as much as possible in the domestic one." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were a little more angry, they were indeed inferior to Sony and Philips in the early stage, but they could still improve.

With the company's almost unlimited supply of research funds, as well as the technical support of major universities and research institutes in China, their progress is still very fast.

Otherwise, how could we make a nearly usable movement and laser head in less than a year?
