Chapter 136: Designing a Tape Recorder

Aijia Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. R&D Department, in fact, this department was not established at the beginning of the company, it was Xu Xuecheng who asked Zhou Tiantian to recruit a group of digital electronics talents in Hong Kong some time ago, so as not to set up such a R&D department.

Xu Xuecheng's heart is very big, he knows that the next few decades are high-tech world, TV, computer, mobile phone, but if he can take the lead in a certain field, it is enough for him to make a lot of money, and one more R&D department is necessary, and Xu Xuecheng will continue to expand the personnel of this department.

The R&D department was set up behind the general manager's office, and the two of them just turned the corner.

"Xu Gong, Zheng Gong, they are all here, how did the finished product progress of the tape recorder last time go?" asked Liu Zhaoyang.

One of the engineers in blue short-sleeved sleeves replied, "It's already been done, Professor Wei from Hong Kong actually lacked a shell when he brought it, and if we couldn't even handle this in the past six months, then we wouldn't be worthy of this salary."

You must know that the R&D department is the department with the best salary among the various departments of Jiamei Electric Company, not only with the highest salary in the company, but also with an independent small apartment.

"Then take it out and show it to me," Liu Zhaoyang said in a harmonious voice.

"This," the blue-clothed engineer glanced at Xu Xuecheng.

Xu Xuecheng, who came in later generations, has a particularly strong awareness of patents, and he knows how many tragedies have been caused by failure to do a good job of confidentiality measures in later generations, the most famous of which is Jiang Wanmeng, the inventor of VCD.

For this electronic product, which was completely invented by Chinese, it can be described as the only opportunity that China may lead in the field of consumer electronics at the end of this century. And yet we missed it.

He and his friend Sun Yan set up Wanyan company in the early stage of VCD invention was brilliant, in the initial establishment of less than a year, "Wanyan" poured all its might, created a market, established a well-known brand, and formed a set of molding technology, dominating the VCD world.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the first batch of 1000 VCD machines launched by Wan Yan were almost all bought by domestic and foreign home appliance companies to make prototypes and become the object of dissection, and finally these companies used the technology obtained from decomposition to imitate various styles of VCD, but the original VCD inventor Wan Yan was defeated, which is the consequence of not applying for a patent.

Therefore, Xu Xuecheng repeatedly emphasized with the senior management of Aimei Electric Company that no one can disclose product information before the patent application is filed.

Zhou Tiantian agreed very much with this, he grew up in Hong Kong, grew up in the atmosphere of the sunset, and knew the importance of patents to a technology, but Liu Zhaoyang was not very concerned about this, typical mainland thoughts, after Xu Xuecheng's persuasion several times to take it seriously.

"It's okay, this is our company's Xu Dong, "Take out the prototype."

The two of them nodded, turned around and went back to the lab to take out a black-shelled block machine.

Xu Xuecheng was stunned by the boxy black shell in front of him, this is the product they have been making for months? Anyway, he has no desire to buy it at first sight, and it is too ugly, the whole body is pitch black, and even the buttons on the top of the machine are black.

Liu Zhaoyang saw that Xu Xuecheng's brows were thoughtful, knowing that he was definitely not very satisfied with the shape of this machine, and asked the two engineers, "Is there a tape, put it to see the effect." ”

Xu Gong nodded, "It's already plugged in it, I'll let it go to you." ”

Xu Gong pressed a button, and with a gentle click, Xu Xuecheng knew that he was starting to read the tape.

Sure enough, two seconds later, the familiar "Dongfang Hong" movement remembered that this piece of music that had "soared into the sky" was played from the horns on both sides of the black bricks, with a clear sound and surging passion.

Xu Xuecheng nodded with satisfaction: The sound quality is good, it is a high-level work when I hear it, but the shape of the table is too ugly, it seems that I still have to do it myself.

The people present saw that this young Xu Dong's face was bright, and they were finally relieved, but there was one exception, that is, Xu Gong in blue clothes.

Xu Xuecheng was obviously a little dissatisfied when he saw the tape recorder for the first time just now, but he let go of his brows after hearing the effect, didn't he make it clear that he had an opinion on the appearance of the recording, and he was responsible for designing the appearance.

"Is there anything that Xu Dong is dissatisfied with the appearance of the tape recorder?" asked Xu Gong with a frown.

Xu Xuecheng looked at him in surprise, and this middle-aged man who belonged to the same family as him actually saw his dissatisfaction.

"Yes, I'm very dissatisfied with this appearance," Xu Xuecheng used an accent on the word "very".

He saw that XCMG's face was even darker, confirming his guess that this black cement brick-like tape recorder must have been designed by the XCMG in front of him.

"Then can you show me a better design," XCMG asked stiffly.

Xu Xuecheng is in a hurry, the other party is still on a bar with himself, it is estimated that this is the stinky temper of these technology, he always thinks that his works are flawless, Xu Xuecheng decided to teach him what is called fashion.

"Can you give me a piece of paper and a pen?" Xu Xuecheng asked.

Soon, the pen and ink were complete, Xu Xuecheng took a pencil and changed the drawings on the white paper, but in a few minutes, a sketch of the tape recorder was drawn.

In his previous life, Xu Xuecheng was very interested in sketching, and sometimes when he was tired of reading, he wrote and painted in his notebook, so he still had a little amateur skill in drawing.

With a handle, two round speakers, and a big "Love Home" logo in the middle, if they travel back to a few decades, they will definitely exclaim: Isn't this a tape recorder on a rotten street?

That's right, Xu Xuecheng actually drew with reference to the image of those tape recorders in the 21st century, although it was just a picture, but in XCMG's mind, a fashionable, generous and lightweight tape recorder jumped on the paper.

"How is it? is it okay?" Xu Xuecheng put down the pencil and rubbed his wrist, he didn't move for a long time, and he was a little rusty.

"It's pretty ~ very good" XCMG nodded with a red face.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him really drew a classic tape recorder design sketch in a few minutes, and thinking of his attitude just now, he felt that his face was hot and painful.

"If that's fine, just change it to make it as lightweight as possible. Xu Xuecheng commanded and walked out of the R&D department.

"Chengcheng, you are so powerful, you stopped him as soon as you came. Liu Zhaoyang gave a thumbs up.

"What, was there anything special about that person just now?" asked Xu Xuecheng.

"People are senior students of the Department of Electronics of Huaqing University, our company finally invited, before being the deputy chief engineer of design in the city, in the company and I have two sentences, and those Hong Kong colleagues in the R&D department are also not good. Liu Zhaoyang thought about it and said it.

I see, Huaqing University came out, no wonder it is so arrogant.

At present, some people in the mainland have not yet woken up from the dream of liberating the Western people, and they have a superior mentality toward Hong Kong.

"Brother Liu, you take advantage of this time to get busy, go to the night shift of the university, and let Zhou Tiantian help you contact to see if there are such resources in Hong Kong. ”

Xu Xuecheng's industry is getting bigger and bigger, and it will definitely be bigger in the future, Liu Zhaoyang's knowledge determines the lack of his vision, and he feels that it is necessary to let him go to the university to recharge, without learning a lot of things, it is enough to increase his horizons.

"Okay, in fact, if you don't say this, I have to bring it up myself. ”

As a party to the party, he actually felt more deeply, since the factory became bigger, more and more elite talents have been contacted, and Liu Zhaoyang also felt that as the general manager of the company, his ability was lacking.
