Chapter 61: The Cat's Eye of the Night
On Wednesday of this week, the Zhang family had a big meal to eat.
Zhang Yunqi has been hungry for a long time for hare meat, which was hunted by two pigherds from Liang in Yunxi Village.
Zhang Yunqi used to go back to the village and said to Liang Swineherd that there is any delicious game that can be done, of course, those protected animals are still forgotten, Zhang Yunqi does not have that hobby, especially snakes and mice, it is creepy to look at, but the people of southern Hunan still love to eat, sometimes go out with friends to make a drinking game, watching them order these things, he is resisting all over his body.
At noon, Zhang's mother boiled the wild rabbit, stir-fried it with tea oil and various spices, and then added white radish and Fangyuan Chaotian pepper, stewed in a big pot, and the taste was beautiful.
During the meal, Zhang Yunqi received a call from Wang Guibing.
Wang Guibing told him on the phone that Hu Zhibiao told him that there was something wrong with the development of the VCD player.
At present, the prototype assembled is out and can be used normally, but the kind of machine that Zhang Yunqi wants with reliable quality and functional applications comparable to the model launched by Wan Yan may take some time, because the key accessories of the system control software of the decoding board are too difficult to do, and they have not seen Wan Yan's first-generation VCD player, and there is no reference object at all, so they rely on their own blind touching.
Zhang Yunqi asked Wang Guibing: "Why didn't Hu Zhibiao call me to tell me about these things?"
Wang Guibing said: "Maybe I'm a little worried, I'm not ready, I'll ask him to report the situation to you when I go back." ”
Zhang Yunqi said: "That's it, go back and find someone to go to the provincial capital, buy five Wanyan VCD players, and then send two to Hu Zhibiao, let him calm down and drill hard." ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunqi continued to eat.
In fact, Hu Zhibiao privately wore these R&D technical issues into his ears through Wang Guibing, Zhang Yunqi didn't care too much, he was not engaged in technology. Being a boss is consequential. Of course, although the goal was to get a prototype with excellent quality and perfect functions before the Spring Festival, he didn't have to force Hu Zhibiao to make a VCD player at this time node, because this matter itself was a bit out of line.
In the impression, Hu Zhibiao and Liu Qiang should still be engaged in his pirated Xiaobawang game console at this point in time, and the first Aiduo VCD prototype was developed by him in the middle of 95 years, and now it is two years ahead of schedule, Hu Zhibiao's ability level must be worse, and the technical conditions he faces are more demanding.
At present, the domestic VCD technology has just started, c-cube has not yet developed a new generation of decoding chips with a higher degree of integration, Wanyan's first generation of VCD DVD player has only been on the market for a short time, the first batch of 1000 units, the unit price is 5,000 yuan, the small people naturally can't afford it, and finally it was snapped up by major manufacturers as a prototype, but with the monopoly position in the early stage, Wanyan's first generation VCD is still invincible, with a market share of 100%.
However, in just two years, Wanyan VCD made wedding dresses for others in the bloody industry competition, and its market share shrank to 3%.
It can be seen that when to launch VCD is very critical, and it may not be appropriate to take the lead in seizing the market opportunity, because R&D is only a part of the initial investment, and many manufacturers can do it, but from compressors to the whole machine, For the vast majority of Chinese people at present, VCD DVD players don't know what they are, and the price is not close to the people, the disc piracy industry has not yet become rampant, and the disc is extremely expensive, often fifty or sixty yuan a piece, and not many people are willing to pay for it, although Wan Yan is the first to eat crabs, he not only has to educate users, education distributors, but also to educate producers and publishing houses.
Of course, all these tasks can be done, but the key is the huge amount of money. Wan Yan died here, the early R & D money burned out, and the local government did not let the joint venture not let the province or let foreign capital hold, Wan Yan's management was at a loss, there was no way, and then, in the turbulent VCD development history in China in the 90s, Wan Yan became a martyr from a pioneer.
Zhang Yunqi is not in a hurry, it is useless to be in a hurry, even if Hu Zhibiao puts the prototype of the VCD player in front of him now, he will not be able to put it into production and sell. So let's practice internal skills first, and within half a year, Hu Zhibiao can put high-quality products on his table.
As for the pioneer in opening up China's embryonic VCD player market, Wan Yan will naturally be, and will be impatient, impatient to give enlightenment education lessons to relevant industry players across the country, and then in a year and a half, when the piracy industry in the southeast coastal cities is rampant, and pirated disc rental shops begin to appear outside the streets and alleys, the spring of this emerging industry will come.
Putting aside this matter, after lunch, when Zhang Yunqi and Chujian went to school, they packed a big bowl of hot rabbit meat with two thermos flasks, one for Wang Xiaokai and one for Yan Shi.
They were all a few boarders he had a good relationship with in the class.
In those years, it was not easy for boarders to study, eating the cafeteria pot dishes with clear soup and little water, washing dishes never needed detergent, and the boys who were growing up did not have a hungry stomach, taking a bath, in the winter, they had to carry a bucket to climb the mountain and wade to the boiler room behind the canteen to pick up the hot water and bring it back to the dormitory to wash, some of the lazy students did not rub their bodies for a month, and in winter, the boys' dormitory was full of the smell of old sauerkraut in the old altar.
Before the self-study in the afternoon, Zhang Yunqi gave the thermos bottle to Yan Shi, this girl was very happy, the pockmarked face was flushed, and Zhang Yunqi said words of thanks several times.
Zhang Yunqi said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, they are all friends, by the way, the weather is too cold now, if you want to take a hot shower in the future, you can go to my store, there is a separate bathroom, Kaizi and they all go there to take a bath." ”
When he said this, Zhang Yunqi suddenly noticed that Yan Shi's cheeks were a little swollen and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"
Yan Shi was stunned, lowered her head and clasped her nails and said, "No, it's okay, the snow road is slippery, and I accidentally fell when I went back to the dormitory last night." ”
Zhang Yunqi nodded and didn't ask again.
Yan Shi looked at his back as he returned to his seat, put the thermos flask, which still had a little residual warmth, into the desk, then took out a piece of stationery from his pocket, spread it out, picked up the pen, and wrote slowly.
Time passed little by little, until the bell rang for the end of the evening self-study, Yan Shi, who was engrossed, woke up, she quickly folded the letter and stuffed it into her pocket, as usual, left the classroom as soon as possible and ran to the dormitory, carried a plastic bucket to the boiler room, and connected the hot water in front of the boiling water in the open air.
At that time, it was already more than ten o'clock, just after the evening self-study, but there were only a few girls who received hot water, because the weather was too cold, and it was snowing, and the students who wanted to take a bath were generally connected to hot water in the afternoon.
After queuing for a while, Yan Shi soon received hot water.
A bucket of hot water is not very heavy, but it is definitely not an easy task for a thin girl to climb four floors from the boiler room to the girls' dormitory nearly five hundred meters away. Yan Shi rested four times before carrying the bucket of hot water back to the dormitory with difficulty.
By that time, all five roommates from Class 155 had returned.
Wu Yali, who has a great reputation in the school and is also the eldest sister in the dormitory, is sitting on the bed grinding her fingernails, looking at Yan Shi with sweaty forehead, and asking with a smile, "Hard work?"
Yan Shi lowered her head and said, "It's not hard." ”
Wu Yali stopped grinding her fingernails, and her beautiful face smiled brightly: "That's good, Sister Hua, can you please help me bring the water to the bathroom?"
When Yan Shi carried water to the bathroom, Chen Xinyi's voice came from behind: "Sister Hua, I'm really embarrassed, I have to trouble you to fetch me a bucket of water, and when Yali finishes washing, I will also take a bath." ”
Yan Shi's hand carrying the bucket stopped in mid-air, she looked at the pockmarked face in the mirror on the bathroom sink, and whispered, "It's late, Xinyi, can you wash it again tomorrow?" I'll get you hot water tomorrow." ”
There was no response.
But, soon, a girl in pajamas appeared at the door of the bathroom, staring at her pockmarked face, and suddenly kicked on the wooden door: "Don't be ashamed of your face?"
"Eh, Xinyi, what's the matter, you, be gentle, what should you do if you scare our Sister Hua then?" At this time, Wu Yali's laughter came from behind: "Didn't Zhao Dong say it? By the way, Zhao Yue, what's that guy's name Zhang?"
Zhang Yunqi. ”
"Oh yes! It's Zhang Yunqi, didn't the people in their class last time say that Zhang Yunqi beat Liao Haihua for Sister Hua, and they still put down cruel words in the class, saying that whoever dares to bully Sister Hua will screw off whose head will be kicked as a ball! Hahaha...... This is really coke, and I don't know where the local farmer came from, but this temperament is really a good match for our sister Hua......"
"Say no more!"
There was a sudden silence in the dormitory.
Maybe no one in this dormitory could have thought that Yan Shi would have the courage to interrupt Wu Yali's words, and he was surprised in his heart, but soon, the sound of someone getting out of bed and putting on shoes sounded in the dormitory.
Yan Shi's fist was clenched.
I don't know why, her hands began to tremble, shaking so much, she raised her head, saw the ugly pockmarked face in the mirror, and said to Chen Xinyi, who was staring at her coldly: "I'll go fetch water, I'll go fetch water for you now." ”
She immediately picked up the empty bucket and rushed out of the dormitory to the staircase of the dormitory building, and Wu Yali's laughter came from behind: "Sister Hua, go slowly, don't fall, wait for you to come back, let's have a good chat!"
It was late at night.
The campus is cold, and the snow is still flying.
There was a little light on the dark buildings.
At this time, there is no one in front of the boiler room, such a cold night, students who have no place to bake the fire always go to bed early, even if they can't sleep, they will lie in the warm quilt with a flashlight to watch martial arts romance and play Tetris machine, and those students who want to take a bath will never come to this dark place at this time to get hot water.
Except for the wildcats.
Every night, whether it's windy or snowy, wild cats appear here in flocks, and the garbage heaps here are their paradise, their food depot against the cold winter, where they savor gluttonous feasts and sometimes let out oozing strange screams.
When the light of the flashlight turned on, Yan Shi's figure appeared here.
She carried the bucket step by step through the wild cats scurrying around, their huge pupils lit up with strange green and red light in the dark, and what was even more strange was that this girl was not afraid at all, maybe she was numb every day, maybe it was more terrifying than the cat's eyes.
Before and after coming to the water boiler, the expressionless girl put the empty bucket under the water boiler, turned the switch, and the water flowed down, steaming white heat, rushing towards the pockmarked face.
Her eyes soon fogged.
She wiped it with the back of her hand that was covered with chilblains and pus.
She looked at the pair of creepy cat's eyes in the dark, and suddenly felt a little cold, she turned the water boiler switch small, took out a piece of letter paper from her pocket, spread it out, squatted in the snow, flashlight, picked up the pen, and slowly began to write.
As I wrote, my heart seemed to warm up a little.
Pls. updated.,I'm really sorry.,The first two chapters have been crabbed by the river.,I've revised it several times in the past two days.,Before it was released.,But the content of those two chapters has been a little messy.,Broken.。
But there's no way, now I'm a little afraid to write deeply, and I have to think about and adjust the plot later, no matter what, I hope to be able to write what I think.
