It was already Sunday afternoon when Dr. Yu arrived in Shanghai, and he was still testing the software on the machine for a long time, and saw Dr. Yu as if he were a stranger, his eyes focused on infinity.

"How did it become like this?" Dr. Yu put down his luggage and reproached, "Pay attention to your body when playing games, you can see that your eyes are dark." ”

"Work, I'm tired from work, and it has nothing to do with playing games. It took Cao Changchang a long time to come back to his senses, and he felt aggrieved in his heart.

"A few good news, one bad news, which one do you listen to first?" Dr. Yu poured himself a glass of water and sat down.

"Bad!" rubbed his eyes for a long time, and stretched his waist again, he was immune to this, no matter how bad it was, how bad could it be?

"The competition among chip suppliers is fierce, and the battlefield has entered the 16th place, but unfortunately, no one is willing to take over your 8-bit processor, and we don't have the money to promote it ourselves. Dr. Yu looked sorry for himself, but he really wanted to have his own chip factory.

"It's nothing, it's experimental, good news?"

"There's a lot of good news. "Your patent has been successfully approved and it won't take long to get through." ”

"Yes, that's good news. "A little bit of energy for a long time, "Anything else?"

"And ......" Dr. Yu looked at for a long time, "I went back to China to find out, last year was still a very chaotic microcomputer market, Apple is nothing at all." This year, they are actually mixed up, which is a bit of a dark horse. ”

The doctor paused for a moment, and then said, "But I don't see any room for Apple to grow, why do you have to use Apple II as a platform?"

"That's because there is no such thing yet!" Chang Chang demonstrated the program on the Apple II to Dr. Yu.

"Seems good, but what's the use?" Dr. Yu looked puzzled, although he could see that this software was valuable, but could a piece of software make a computer popular?

"Besides, who would buy a computer for financial statements? There are word processing devices on the market, all of which are products of established companies. ”

Cao Changchang smiled, and he was very clear about this: "It's not surprising that text and report processing is done, but it's very surprising to use software to realize this function, not to mention that it's still on a microcomputer." This is no ordinary piece of software, which means that the microcomputer has gone from being a toy to a useful tool. ”

At the end, he added, "People always like the new and hate the old." ”

Dr. Yu agrees that this makes sense, and he revisits VideoForm.

Cao Changjiu is still quite satisfied with his software, thinking that even the best design is nothing more than that, just waiting for Dr. Yu's praise.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Yu mercilessly pointed out a big flaw: "The program is perfectly done, and the function is okay." However, it is too simple, and I think it would be more practical to be able to display the tabular data directly in a computer-generated chart. ”

Mistake, Cao Changjiu realized that he missed such a big selling point, office automation is like this, and ViticC was not a hot seller because it was a spreadsheet program, but Hongfu with two plug-ins - chart conversion and business presentation program.

Cao Changjiu is very aware of the positioning of his software, which is impeccable in terms of ease of use and performance, but if it lacks the functions of chart conversion and business presentation, it can only be regarded as second-rate software and cannot make big waves.

After thousands of calculations or omissions, Cao Changjiu nodded again and again in favor of Dr. Yu's suggestion, and immediately set about improving.

Dr. Yu stopped him: "Don't worry, let's go to Hong Kong." ”

"Oh?" Cao Changjiu was pleasantly surprised, "I didn't prepare for it so quickly." ”

"Don't prepare, I'll visit the officials of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau tomorrow, that's also our customer, let's leave the day after tomorrow." ”

～～～～～～～～

Cao Changjiu specially took a day off and followed Dr. Yu to the door. He didn't speak anyway, he just took a pair of eyes to see.

The leaders of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau seem to have an old relationship with Dr. Yu, as if they were old friends. But a few words are about buying and selling, about microcomputers.

The leader was very interested in buying a machine, but he was unwilling to pay for the software, which made Dr. Yu talk a lot until he finally agreed to try to buy 10 microcomputers first.

This made Dr. Yu ecstatic, and it was another big order, and he said a lot of compliments.

Looking at the leader's satisfied look, Cao Changjiu was amused.

In the end, the leader was probably photographed by Dr. Yu, and insisted on taking the two of them to visit the newly built exchange center.

According to the leader, this is the most advanced telephone exchange center in the country, and a full set of Japanese imports cost several million.

Cao Changjiu looked at the building of the exchange center and felt that the post and telecommunications were so rich, and when he entered the building, he found that it did not seem to be a familiar scene.

In the long mind, these exchange centers should be places with few windows, few people, but a high degree of automation. I didn't expect that the noise after entering was not small, and I frowned for a long time, and saw that the rows of cabinets had a bit of a textile factory taste.

The leader proudly introduced: "A full set of imported Japanese technology, 8,000 vertical and horizontal switches, there is no one in the country." ”

After listening to the introduction, the long-term frowning is even worse, Japan's current telephone exchange system should be updated to a program-controlled switchboard, why do the Chinese still import the vertical and horizontal system from Japan?

"In the past, we used step-by-step switches, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Later, the conditions were a little better, and the domestic vertical and horizontal switches were used, but the maintenance was very troublesome and there were always problems. Now it's okay, negotiate with the Japanese and take it. The leader introduced the origin of the exchange system to Dr. Yu, and was very emotional, "Japanese things are advanced, and the things that people have used for several years are still the same as new ones in us, and the performance is reliable." ”

Dr. Yu naturally echoed the voice, but he couldn't help it for a long time.

It's just a matter of buying a machine for millions, and it's still second-hand obsolete goods that you buy, which can't be tolerated.

The leader continued: "The Japanese still have technology, a few years ago the small Japanese post and telecommunications delegation came to China to inspect and sent us two telephones, and arrogantly claimed that they knew that we would imitate this kind of telephone, but according to our technical production level at that time, it will take at least two years to achieve all the production processes, and then they will have new products to replace this kind of telephone." ”

"This is a contempt for us, and it makes me feel extremely ashamed. At that time, I showed them around the long-distance station, and they laughed at the equipment that was actually made in Japan in the 30s. Although I told them that we had already developed and produced our own long-distance equipment, which was just to make good use of the old equipment, I still didn't feel good, so I started the system. ”

"But we also have our own technology that shook those guys at the time, which is our billing system. The leader was a little proud, "That's the long-distance automatic exchange and automatic billing equipment we developed and produced for trial, which is controlled by semiconductor computers." Little Japan gave a thumbs up after watching it, and said that it was a great one. Later, when I asked, I found out that the Japanese did not have computer control for the telecommunications network billing equipment at that time, hahaha, and finally won a game. ”

Dr. Yu laughed too.
