Chapter Seventy-Six: Failure and Identity
"Hey, Dong Lao, how is "Frog Crossing the River" doing?" Yu Sheng walked into the room and said to the old engineer Dong who bowed his head and pondered on the drawings.
Dong Lao, who was concentrated, seemed to be frightened, and he turned around in surprise, "Oh, it turned out to be you." How did you come so early today? ”
"It's something." Yu Sheng put down his canvas bag, sat on a chair and said, "The "Catch" we sold out has encountered some problems. ”
"What's the problem?" Dong Lao asked, "I dare to guarantee the quality of each machine, they will not fail." ”
"You're right, they didn't malfunction, but there were some minor problems." Nick stretched out his left thumb against the first joint of his little finger, indicating that the problem was really not big.
"It doesn't seem like a small problem, otherwise you wouldn't have come so early. But I still believe in the quality of our machine. Dong Lao raised his head, took off his reading glasses, and looked at the rest of his life seriously.
"That's right, today Nick called and responded with a message. It's our game console, and the screen is easier to dust. For every 100 units sold, basically two or three units go into ash in just a few days. It is the interlayer of the LCD screen and the outer protective glass, are you talking about the problem of our process? ”
Yu Sheng said as he took out a "Catch". The inventory management of the Huaxia factory is strict, even if you pick up a game watch in the warehouse for the rest of your life, you have to register it in detail.
"Look, I brought in a handful of sand. Let's imagine that "Catch" and the sand touch together, like this. Yu Sheng took an enamel cup jar, put sand and game watch in it, then closed the lid and shook it vigorously.
"It won't take long, let's count it in twenty seconds.
One......
Two......
Three......
……
Twenty.
Well, this little real yàn is over. Let's take a look at its table xiàn. ”
Yu Sheng took "Catching the Ball" out of the jar and looked at the slightly greenish LCD screen, "It's really gray, look." ”
Yu Sheng handed the gray "Catching the Ball" to Dong Lao.
Dong Lao took it, due to presbyopia, he looked at things close to him, and he couldn't really see it, his straight arm was almost at eye level, and his wrist was slightly turned, observing the part of the LCD screen.
"It's really in the dust." Dong Lao said, "However, I don't think this is a quality problem of our products. I can guarantee that this game console will not break even if you play it for ten years. It's all a problem with the way it is used. How could anyone take such an expensive thing and mix it with sand. ”
"Dong Lao!" Yu Sheng's tone was a little heavy, "You listen to me." I don't think it's a problem with how to use it, our things are sold, and users want to use it, of course, they can use it. However, I think the responsibility for the problems that have arisen on a large scale is on us.
We didn't think about the situation under which users would use it, and shaking it with sand is really too extreme. However, in daily life, there will always be some dusty scenes, which is unavoidable.
Having said that, the price of our products is not expensive for foreigners. Do you know the pricing of gaming watches? Fifty dollars. This is not a big amount of money for Americans and Japanese, but it is not a small amount of money either.
We can't expect them to put a fifty-dollar object in a dust-free glass room like a computer in our domestic research department, and every time they want to use it, they have to apply for it, change into a white coat, and wear a hat to prevent dandruff from falling.
That's unrealistic, Dong Lao's unrealistic.
Our game watch is a toy for them, one will change it when it is tired of playing, and buy a new toy if it is broken.
However, we can't think that we just make low-end stuff anyway, and then we don't care about the quality. Dong Lao, you also know that our face is not an enterprise user, but a relatively picky individual user.
It's true that we're making low-end products now, but that's because we don't have advanced technology. I believe that you, who have done research for so many years, and who have more life experience than me, will definitely be able to understand.
Since we can't always make low-end, then we can't make something inferior to fool customers. Fooling around is only temporary, maybe it works well at first, but after a long time, we have to pay a thousand times the price.
Like you, I have a dream, that is, to make our country a prosperous, powerful country with developed electronic technology.
You hope that in a few decades, we will make our own chips, which are so inferior that we don't need them ourselves. The electronics industry has collapsed across the board, and all chips are imported, so can we only do what low-value-added assembly procedures?
You don't want to be right, right. This is also the original intention of the establishment of Huaxia Factory, to gather you and other outstanding talents, also for this reason.
Although we may seem weak, even if we are as powerful as Japan's Soni, they did not only establish a company after the war, but they have become a large global company in a few decades. If they can do it, we can do it.
Maybe I'm talking a little heavy, but I hope you value the gaming watch, don't look at it so small, but it holds our future. ”
"I see." Dong Lao listened to the words of the rest of his life, and the expression on his face did not change much, and he only said that I know. "I think that a complete glue seal at the edge of the two-layer screen can solve the problem of ash. However, it is possible that the efficiency of the production line may be reduced by a few days due to this adjustment. ”
"No problem, no problem with a slight drop in capacity. By the way, is this kind of operation technology difficult, and the game watches that have been sold can complete this kind of sealing under relatively rudimentary conditions.
Nick and I believe that we need to be responsible for the Catch that has already been sold. Give them a clear screen of the game, can you assess the feasibility of doing that, and if so, write a simple process? ”
"Okay." Dong Lao said, "Is there anything else besides this?" ”
"Well, I still have one more built yì. Dong Lao, can the lotus leaves of the frog crossing the river be painted green. I thought about it for a while, and it seemed a bit difficult. If you can't paint the dynamically moving lotus leaves green, can you add a layer of colorful background to make the whole interface look more vivid?
I think an interface like "Catch the Ball" is a bit too monotonous, don't you think? ”
"You're adding to our workload again." Dong Lao didn't know why, and suddenly burst out laughing. "The lotus leaf liquid crystal pattern really can't be painted green. The effect of flipping the liquid crystal is not noticeable in that way, but the idea of adding a background layer is good, and I think I can try it. Boy, you are right, the rice should be eaten in one bite, we Chinese come step by step, do not give up hope, lose ideals. ”
