Chapter 68: The Computer of '98
Since Su Chenfeng was hit by Qin Chenxuan the day before yesterday when he bought a car, the past two days have been calm, nothing abnormal has happened, it seems that Qin Chenxuan just talked about it, and there was no actual action.
Su Chenfeng was rarely relaxed, he still asked for leave and didn't go to school. During this period, the re-recruitment of Chenguang Bookstore has come to an end, and a group of fresh graduates of Lingnan Division can take up their posts at any time.
Supervisor Chen Ming's secret investigation action has also come to an eyebrow, and the fraud evidence of many shopping guides who falsely reported their turnover has been collected, and they can call the police to file a case when they wait for Su Chenfeng's order. As for outsiders' manipulation and attempts to subvert the Chenguang Book House, there has been little progress.
Chenguang Bookstore's full use of computers to collect money has not yet been implemented, and it is not difficult to buy computers and recognizers, but the entire charging system Su Chenfeng has not found it for the time being, he intends to develop one by himself, and the membership card also intends to upgrade, from a simple identification card to a membership card that can be similar to bank card deposits and withdrawals.
To make this set of things, it takes a lot of work, so Su Chenfeng temporarily put aside the layout of using the computer to collect money in an all-round way, and wait for him to be more familiar with programming after a while.
In addition, the car still has to be bought, but he didn't go to the car dealership to see it again, but directly asked Xu Zeyuan to go to the provincial capital to buy an imported S320 Tiger Head Ben, and there will be results in a few days.
So he had to postpone his return to his hometown in the countryside on the weekend until next week, so Yang Lin also called to ask, Su Chenfeng fooled Yang Lin with a fool's talk, and Yang Lin repeatedly told him when she hung up the phone, if Su Chenfeng didn't go home next week, she would come directly to Hong Kong City to find him.
What gave Su Chenfeng a headache was more than that, Xu Muyan saw that Su Chenfeng didn't go to school, and came to the bookstore to find him a few times, but he didn't touch her when he was reading at home, Xu Muyan told Mo Zirong that if Su Chenfeng didn't appear in two days, he would go directly to his house to find him.
No matter what happened to the outside world, Su Chenfeng concentrated on studying and studying his programming language, and he has been reading all kinds of programming books for the past two days, and he has made great progress and can almost practice.
98 years of computers are not common, especially in the third-tier cities such as Hong Kong City, it is even more difficult to see the electronic city of later generations, Su Chenfeng asked the two buyers who had bought computers for the bookstore before, and learned the address to buy the computer, and when he arrived at the address given by the buyer, he looked for a while to find a place to buy a computer.
The owners who were able to open a computer shop in 98 were either rich or computer enthusiasts, and this group of people was very sensitive to the sense of smell of computers, and believed that the computer market had a great future in the future, that is, this group of people in the advanced computer market made a lot of money.
So no matter what business you do, the first opportunity is very important, the first person to eat crabs will always die, and of course a small number of people will be poisoned.
Su Chenfeng looked at this computer store on Kangshun Road in Chikan with a sigh and felt very touched. In his previous life, this was a relatively large computer city in Hong Kong City, and his first laptop was bought here.
11-year-old Acer 4750, Intel i5CPU, dual-core 2.9GHz frequency, maximum turbo frequency to 3.5GHz, NVIDIA discrete graphics card, 500G hard disk, the price is less than four thousand, the operation is very smooth, you can watch 1080P movies without stuttering, and barely play large-scale 3D games.
The performance of this configuration is placed in an 11-year notebook, which can only be regarded as a low-end configuration, and it is not even comparable to a 16-year smartphone. It has to be said that computer updates and iterations are too fast, according to Moore's Law, every 18 months, the computer hardware performance is newer.
But this configuration is very exaggerated in 98 years, almost on top of a small server, the price is not hundreds of thousands, and in 11 years it was less than four thousand, more than a hundred times the price.
98 years of CPU running frequency is still calculated in MHz, and the future generations are completely incomparable, not to mention the computer, the mobile phone, the CPU is casually four cores, eight cores or even ten cores, a thousand yuan machine CPU frequency is 1.5GHz jump.
The parameters of the mobile phone seem to be very powerful, and even the mainstream of the computer CPU in later generations has only developed to 4 cores, and the development of smart phones has gone through the accumulation of computers for decades in just ten years, and the technology accumulated in the PC era is indispensable, but from another point of view, the PC era has passed, and mobile and wearable devices are the future, and the market drives the development of technology.
Before Su Chenfeng restarted, a large wave of virtual reality rose, maybe the next ten years can break the monopoly of smartphones and enter the virtual era.
Unlike the boom in electronics in later generations, the PC market is just getting started. The dΓ©cor of a computer store is shabby, and it can even be described as shabby.
A large pile of parts were piled up messily, there was no brand machine counter, and a few display machines were scattered at random, and Su Chenfeng walked in cautiously, for fear of stepping on the parts on the ground.
A young man about twenty-five years old, dressed in a dusty blue overalls, with somewhat messy hair and a pair of thick nearsighted glasses, raised his head to look at Su Chenfeng, and then buried his head in tinkering with his hardware.
A typical technical man, Su Chenfeng was overjoyed when he saw this.
He knows that although the assembly machine became popular after the launch of the Intel Pentium 586 chip around 97, the assembly machine is still rare in 98, especially in third-tier cities like Hong Kong City, where computer stores basically sell the overall brand machine directly, and the price is ridiculously high.
Moreover, even the assembly machine of this era is not cheap, there are too few accessories to choose from, and it will be a few years before the assembly machine really enters the homes of ordinary people.
At this time, Su Chenfeng actually saw someone tinkering with the assembly machine, which was really a surprise. It shows that this boss is a real enthusiast, and there are certain channels to get accessories.
"Boss, what brand of computer do you buy here?"
"Boss, boss!"
Su Chenfeng shouted twice, and the boss who was tinkering with the assembly machine raised his head: "I'm not the boss, the computer is there, you can see for yourself, and you can pay for whichever one you like." β
The tech man pointed to the cabinet where the computer was placed, and then buried himself in tinkering with the machine.
Su Chenfeng was stunned: "Not the boss?" Which boss will invite an employee like you, the guest does not greet or say, and even the guest wants to buy a computer, you are not afraid of a computer white one day, I don't understand anything, and after buying it back, I will make a fool of it, and then find you for repair? β
Tech men are so taciturn? Su Chenfeng thought about it slightly, and smiled: "It is estimated that the boss also hired you because of your technology, after all, there are not many people who can use computers in 98." β
"That, this big brother, I don't know anything about computers, can you come and introduce me."
Su Chenfeng is naughty again, his understanding of computers is definitely deeper than that of this technical man, but seeing such a person with character, he still wants to make a fuss.
"I don't understand the computer, what are you messing around, go and go, don't bother me." The technical man does not lift his head.
"Brother, I don't want to learn computers." Su Chenfeng is still unyielding.
The technical man reluctantly put down the accessories in his hand and walked over slowly: "Brand computers start at 10,000, and the most expensive is more than 20,000, can you afford it?" β
The technical man carefully took a large number of Su Chenfeng, and saw that he was young, wearing a set of sportswear, and he didn't look like a rich man who could buy a computer and go back to play, so he directly quoted a price, in order to scare Su Chenfeng away.
Su Chenfeng smiled slightly, didn't answer, and walked straight to an IBM computer.
"This IBM2640 notebook is the latest model in '98, equipped with the latest Windows 97 system, which is the second version of Windows 95. The core configuration, the CPU is a Pentium 2 processor, with a frequency of up to 300Mhz. Onboard memory 64MB combined with EDO memory 64MB, NeoMagic128XD graphics card 2MB video memory, 4GB IBM hard drive. β
Su Chenfeng talked eloquently like a few family treasures, and directly stunned the technical man.
The technical man looked at Su Chenfeng dumbfounded, his fingers pointed at him tremblingly, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened.
"Brother, I think it's funny that you just tinkered with the computer? Do you also know how to do DIY computers? β
Su Chenfeng looked at the speechless science and engineering man, and smiled slightly, he deliberately didn't say assembling the computer, but said computer DIY, this word was not popular in 98, he wanted to see how senior this technology man was.
