Chapter 4 Hand-drawn paper
"Hu Yiting, you read the book first, and the food will be good immediately. Father Hu Yanan agreed in the kitchen.
Standing in the small dining room and living room, Hu Yiting looked at his father through the glass sliding door of the kitchen, his tall back was busy in the choking smoke, as if he saw himself twenty years later.
His father, Hu Yanan, waved his arms and fiddled with the spatula, cooking lunch seriously. Mother Bai Ping eats in the canteen of the dyeing and weaving factory at noon and does not leave work until after 4 p.m.
This familiar two-bedroom living room of more than 60 square meters is the place where Hu Yiting has lived for 16 years, carrying his youthful memories.
I remember that after I was admitted to university, I left here and never came back.
When the old house was demolished here, my father returned to Hushan, gave up the original restoration of the house, and went through the currency restoration procedures, and since then the family has no place of their own in Hushan City.
Hu Yiting looked around at the old house in his memory, although the area is not large, but it is warm, the white powder wall of the living room has been a little yellowed, the red corduroy sofa, and the ink painting scroll of the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum hanging behind it. When he walked into his room, there was a poster of Maradona on the bedside, the corners were yellow and curly, a wooden badminton racket was thrown in the corner, and the writing desk was spotlessly clean, all as familiar as an old friend, which made him feel warm.
There are some sticky marks on the bookcase in the room that can't be erased, which are the traces left by sticking animated stickers everywhere when I was a child. Hu Yiting gently stroked the shapes of these traces that had long been forgotten, and recalled whether it was a Transformer or a Dinosaur Super Kesai sticker pasted here.
Gradually, Hu Yiting's mood stirred, he pulled out a chair, sat down in front of the old brown-red wood-grain writing desk, opened the drawer, took out a stack of letter paper from the Hushan Daily, took out an old fountain pen from the pen holder on the table, unfolded the manuscript paper, and wanted to try to write something, but just about to put down the pen, he had no idea.
If you want to realize your dreams, you need a start-up capital right now, so what do you exchange for it?
Hu Yiting had no choice but to sit quietly and search hard in his memory.
Father Hu Yanan quickly made lunch according to the standard of four dishes and one soup, called Hu Yiting to come out to eat, and the father and son sat next to each other and sat down at the square table against the wall in the living room.
Holding the rice bowl, Hu Yiting frequently peeked at his father, decades of proofreading and typesetting work had harmed his eyesight, the thick spectacle lenses like the bottom of the wine bottle were embedded in the yellow celluloid frames, the frames had never been changed for many years, the temples were broken and re-glued, and they were wrapped with white medical tape to prevent slipping.
"Dad. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Did your newspaper pay you last month?"
"What is this for? What money does the school have to pay?" Hu Yanan frowned.
"Seeing how hard you work every day, I'll just ask casually. ”
Hu Yanan glanced at his son in surprise.
"Since the year before the year, the supreme chief has made a speech on his southern tour, and the whole country is hoarding materials, and prices are skyrocketing, and Hushan is no exception. ”
Speaking of this, Hu Yanan shook his head gently: "Now that the city is in financial difficulties, how can there be funds to post newspapers, and it is good to be able to pay half of the salary, and the operation of daily newspapers has long been very difficult, and it all depends on the subscriptions of various state units to maintain." ”
Hu Yanan took a mouthful of soup with a spoon and continued: "Besides, there is no financial subsidy now, so we can only pull advertisements everywhere, but how can advertisements be so good? ”
With a much stronger memory than his previous life, Hu Yiting knows very well that it has only been three years since the chief designer made a southern speech on his southern tour in 92, and the three major sayings of "be bolder, try boldly, and boldly break through" have been used as the general clarion call to go to the sea.
After the reform and opening up, the group of people who took advantage of the channel to get rich first are now investing or speculating on a large scale, after the chief's 92nd southern tour, speculators hoarded construction materials under the judgment of the situation, 6,000 tons of aluminum ingots purchased, three months later it rose to 18,000 a ton, and the average price of houses and land in HN has increased by as much as five times in 93 years, and then the real estate fever quickly ebbed from HN, leaving a land of unfinished buildings and the stunned HN provincial government, landed in the north, began to spread to the whole country. In 94 and 95, the national property market and stock market were rising.
But at the same time, the soaring prices brought about by reform and opening up are squeezing out the savings of ordinary people. In 93, the national consumer price index, that is, CPI, rose by 14.7%, soared by 24.1% in 94, and in 95 this year, it continued to rise by 17.1%, that is, in three years, prices rose by 67%.
However, prices have risen, but wages have not risen, and it has been accompanied by the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises nationwide and the large-scale layoff of workers. The state is readjusting its economic structure at the expense of the decline in the living standards of the people throughout the country.
Hu Yiting also wanted to engage in speculation, but this unrealistic idea was only fleeting. How can ordinary people like their own families compare with those "heroes and heroes" from all walks of life who have hoarded a large amount of wealth in the past 10 years or so of reform and opening up? How much capital can ordinary workers come up with at home? And how can they participate in the gluttonous feast of the capital armies of all stripes?
What's more, Hu Yiting is only in his third year of junior high school this year. What can a 16-year-old kid do? Who can believe that you can do something? Even if you want to spend some money by programming and writing software, you don't even have a computer at home, and besides, if you look at the whole of Hushan City, there are only a handful of families who can own a personal computer these days. As the saying goes, those who have money may not be able to use it, and those who can use it may not have money to buy it.
Hu Yanan looked at Hu Yiting, and when he saw that he was stunned, the conversation turned to Hu Yiting's studies: "What do you care about all this? Students just study hard, you don't have to worry about family affairs, you give me some energy, and getting into a good university is the right thing." Your mother and I have been helping you save for school fees for the past few years, so don't let us work in vain. ”
Hu Yiting thought of his family turmoil in high school and the eventual divorce of his parents, and said with some worry: "I don't have to worry about you when I go to college, but you, but you have to live well with my mother, don't quarrel anymore." Besides, money is for spending, so why are you saving? Doesn't my mother want to change to a big color TV? I see, you still spend your savings on life. ”
"What do you know! Don't worry about adults and children, we don't save money, what will you use to go to college in the future, what will you take to marry a daughter-in-law?"
Hu Yiting tried to save his parents' marriage with an adult tone, but was choked back by his father's words, so he had to bury his head in eating.
He thought silently: "Iron still needs its own hardness, and in the face of cruel reality, no construction and beautiful words are pale and powerless." ”
The junior high school has to start classes at half past one in the afternoon, and Hu Yiting has a very tight schedule.
After lunch, he strolled thoughtfully back to school,
In the huge classroom, the students in the class are seizing the time to chat, and the topic is full of entertainment themes.
"Yesterday I went to the video hall to watch "Domestic Lingling Paint", Stephen Chow's, it's so funny! ”
"yes, I haven't watched it yet, and the price of the video hall hasn't increased, right?"
"It's not up, it's still two dollars and five. ”
"Then I'll go see it this Sunday! Stephen Chow's film is my favorite, his comedy is so funny! I haven't left any of it. ”
"You're so boring, what's so good about nonsensical comedy. Have you watched "Red Fan Zone"? Jackie Chan acted, that's called wonderful, the first-class play is great, that's all real kung fu!"
"Hey, I watched it early, I watched it during the Spring Festival, and "Red Fan District" had just come out at that time, hehe, Jackie Chan's kung fu is really amazing!
"Hey, you guys, I bought Jacky Cheung's new tape yesterday! ”
"It's the "Debut Ten Years Golden Songs Collection", right? I want to buy it too, my pocket money is not enough, can you lend me the tape tomorrow to rip it? I'll lend you my favorite Aaron Kwok compilation. ”
"Okay, but I'll lend it to you after I'll listen to it for a while. Aaron Kwok doesn't have to, I don't like sissies, do you have a new Andy Lau "Providence" album?"
…………
Hu Yiting sat motionless and listened to everyone's nonsense, firstly, he did not have much spare money, and secondly, because these entertainments were outdated for him, and he was not interested in the slightest.
After sitting bored for a while, Hu Yiting got up from his seat at the back of the classroom and patted Zhang Baiqi, who was hurrying to make the day's English homework.
"Idiot, don't write, I'll treat you to a soda. ”
Zhang Baiqi looked at his watch.
"There are four minutes left in class. ”
"Nonsense, to go?"
"Of course you go! ”
The two of them sprinted frantically and came to the commissary outside the teacher's family courtyard in the south of the stadium, Hu Yiting took out all his belongings from his pocket for 8 yuan and 5 cents, and bought two bottles of Polaris brand orange water for two yuan.
"Cool! Marlboro! Man's World!"
"When the sun rises!"
While drinking soda, the two sang and sang with advertising slogans to skillfully interpret the dialogue that they thought was chic and uninhibited.
The girls who bought tea eggs next to them snickered, and at the same time threw strange glances at the two of them who were watching Shenjing Bing, Hu Yiting and Zhang Baiqi wanted this effect, they secretly looked at these girls, and their hearts were itching.
After 20 years, he replayed this trick to attract the attention of girls, although he drank soda, Hu Yiting, who re-walked the road of youth, also felt that he was drunk. Judging from the hard state's lower body, he can be sure that he has a second spring.
People say that youth can be roughly divided into youth coming and youth walking, the former is marked by pimples, and the latter is marked by acne scars on the face. Now Hu Yiting has a new pimple on top of the acne scar, which is as precious as an old man in the age of a sixtieth year.
"Youth is the best time, once you have been born again, let me start all over again!"
"I CAME BACK FROM 2015!!IAMBACK!!"
Hu Yiting thought of this, and was in a heroic mood for a while, and raised his neck to blow the soda bottle.
Zhang Baiqi put one hand on Hu Yiting's shoulder, and the other hand also raised the soda bottle and blew wildly.
In order not to be late for class, and not to waste soda, Hu Yiting and Zhang Baiqi took out the spirit of drinking severed head wine, and trotted all the way after pouring it out, and rushed back to the classroom with hiccups.
With a vivid memory of his past life, Hu Yiting was completely reluctant to listen to the lectures in physics class, but began to bury his head and start his own life.
It's too far to make money from the lottery, after all, it's only 95 years now, and who can say for sure what will happen in ten years?
In addition, their rebirth may affect the process of the surrounding world in the dark,And the lottery lottery is a random mechanical movement,There is no logic at all,The lottery numbers you are recording now,It's normal to not be able to win all of them at that time,What can I do at that time?
Hu Yiting feels that it is better to seek others than to seek oneself.
He spread out the manuscript paper, picked up the pencil and began to draw, first drawing the circuit diagram of the telephone design, and then the circuit design diagram inside the chip gradually took shape under his hands.
As for the hand-drawn chip, this is not unusual, Zilog's Fagan, when designing the Z80 microcontroller, was to draw all the circuit diagrams by hand with a pencil, working 80 hours a week, and finally worked hard to draw all the drawings.
Zhang Baiqi saw that Hu Yiting was so weird in physics class, and couldn't help asking, "What are you drawing?"
"Single-chip phone master control chip. ”
Zhang Baiqi didn't understand it at all, and glanced at Hu Yiting:
"You're so idle, what kind of fun are you playing. ”
Hu Yiting smiled.
He remembered that the internal integration of telephones in these years was far less than that of later generations, with many components, complex PCB board wiring, too large size, and high manufacturing and maintenance costs.
The phones of later generations are basically single-chip, a master control chip, which integrates all functions in one.
In 95 years, the state vigorously advocated the development of digital telephones. At that time, there were more than 300 telephone factories in the country, of which only 160 were approved by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to access the network, and the rest were small copycat factories that committed crimes against the wind.
Compared with the latest magnetic card telephones, video phones, IC card telephones, voice-activated telephones, mother-child telephones, etc., domestic manufacturers have single products, low-end technology, outdated and rough technology, and high failure rate. Therefore, it is impossible to form a competitive advantage in the market.
