After Alison and Ling Shizhe reached a consensus, the next month she worked with Foster to help Ling Shizhe refine the relevant plan.

In this month,Panda QQ has been favored by various companies as soon as it is launched,A set of Panda QQ instant messaging software is divided into server version and PC terminal version,Among them, the server version costs $100 per set,PC terminal version costs $10 per set。

The use of Panda QQ makes the internal communication of the enterprise smoother, and also saves a lot of unnecessary expenses for the enterprise, so it has been sought after by the majority of enterprises as soon as it is listed, and the associated PC personal computers, servers, and various network equipment have also increased a lot due to the promotion of the small software of Panda QQ.

According to statistics from the Information Department of Gu Ambrera, since the launch of QQ, orders for servers have increased by 30% compared with the previous month, orders for PCs have increased by 100%, and sales of various network equipment have increased by 400%.

The reason why network equipment has such a big growth is because the concept of LAN and office automation proposed by Ling Shizhe has just been born for less than a year, and it is still in the promotion stage, so there are only double-digit sales of network equipment every month, such a low sales base, and a slight increase in sales volume is naturally 100%, 200%, 300% considerable data.

And this growth rate continues to increase, according to statistics, almost all enterprises in North America are or plan to launch enterprise LAN systems, in order to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

The only regret is that due to the limitations of network technology in this era, the head office and its subsidiaries cannot communicate with each other, so they can only continue to use fax machines and telephones, which is a bit regrettable.

Panda QQ is sought after in North America, but sales in Hong Kong are quite deserted, because Panda QQ can only use English, not Chinese to communicate with each other, so in addition to British, American and other Western companies are willing to use, Hong Kong local companies except Ambrera, no company is willing to use.

So they asked Ambrera to launch a panda QQ with Chinese input method, but Ambrera did not make any response.

Ling Shizhe does not want to launch a Chinese input method matched with QQ, his laptop has a complete set of Tencent QQ Chinese input software, which not only has a complete simplified font library but also a traditional font library, and fonts can be switched between inputs very conveniently.

If there is, why didn't Ling Shizhe take it out? The reason is that this set of input methods is not suitable for Hong Kong and Taiwan,The input method is pinyin input method,This set of input methods is based on mainland pinyin,And Hong Kong、Taiwan、Southeast Asia and other Chinese regions do not use pinyin,But use phonetic! The input of Chinese characters in Hong Kong and Taiwan must use the phonetic input method, and the pinyin input method will not work here.

Besides, only the mainland uses pinyin, and other regions use phonetics, you Ling Shizhe is a Hong Kong native, and he is a general of the Kuomintang. Those media will definitely have associations, thinking that the Ling family or Ling Shizhe have defected, so Ling Shizhe can't cause unnecessary turmoil for a small Chinese input method system.

So Ling Shizhe set up a Chinese input method research and development team on the day when Panda QQ was used in the company, and the project leader was Mr. Zhu Bangfu, who is known as the "father of Chinese computers" in history.

Historically, Zhu Bangfu was born in 1937, because of the war in his childhood, he migrated, and finally settled on the treasure island at the age of middle school admission, and then went to Brazil to develop, and also stayed in the United States for a period of time. During this period, his mother and father died one after another.

When Zhu Bangfu was working at the Brazilian Cultural Publishing House, he witnessed how backward Chinese printing technology was compared with English in the publishing process of a book, so he switched to the improvement of Chinese printing technology.

In 1973, Zhu Bangfu would return to Baodao, and in the following years of hard life, he developed Chinese search methods and improved Chinese printing technology according to his vision, taking Chinese typewriters as his practical goal.

Although Zhu Bangfu is a pioneer of computer Chinese input methods, his life has been very bumpy. If Ling Shizhe did not intervene, according to the original historical development, in 1980, Zhu Bangfu, with the technical support of Shi Zhenrong, jointly developed a Chinese computer with "Chinese operating system, Chinese programming language, and Chinese packaged software" - Tianlong Chinese computer, priced at NT$750,000. But obviously, a $20,000 personal computer is unlikely to win the market.

The following year, Zhu Bangfu launched a Chinese terminal, and later, he established Zero One Computer Company to provide low-cost computer Chinese services for manufacturers.

In order to make Chinese computers more popular and let the Chinese people study together, Zhu Bangfu announced that he would give up the patent right of the Cangjie input method, announced that he was willing to disclose all the technology, and sold the shares of Zero One Company at a price of NT$10 million.

The relevant parties of Baodao agreed with this proposal and entrusted the technical personnel of Wang An, Acer and Shentong to go to Zero One Company for detailed identification, and Zhu Bangfu gave a public explanation. The proposal was finally approved, and the final outcome of the acquisition was planned to be determined in 1983.

However, during this period, disputes arose between the 13,000-character BIG5 code formulated by the relevant parties on the island and Zhu Bangfu's Chinese coding system that can accommodate more than 50,000 words.

In addition, some people falsely accused Zhu Bangfu of promoting the use of Zhu Bangfu's system to the mainland, so Zhu Bangfu was forced to leave Baodao in April 1983, took refuge in the United States, and transferred all the ownership of Zero One Company to employees.

Since then, Zhu Bangfu has been farther and farther away from his ideal of computer processing of Chinese information.

But now, Ling Shizhe is here, the PC computer was born in advance, the real function is in front of you, who dares to question the computer processing of Chinese information, that is, I want to be pumped face, and Zhu Bangfu, who is still in the technical exploration stage, has found a lighthouse to guide the direction.

In order for a computer to process all kinds of information in binary, it must use coding technology to identify various basic components.

In this regard, Western languages like English, which only have 26 basic letters and can be coded with only a 128-bit ASCII table, have a natural advantage, while Chinese is much more troublesome.

From the perspective of logical structure, although Chinese characters can be divided into different radicals, radicals and other basic components of the text, there are too many, far more than 26, and these basic components also have changes in position, orientation and orientation when composing Chinese characters.

Therefore, it is difficult to classify and process Chinese information based on text construction.

Some radical technologists have even used this to advocate the elimination of Chinese characters. For Huaxia, who invented papermaking and printing, this phenomenon is a little sad.

On the road to overcoming these difficulties, many famous Chinese have emerged, such as Zhu Bangfu, Ni Guangnan, Wang Xuan, Wang Yongmin, and so on.

As a reborn, Ling Shizhe naturally wanted to shorten this process so that the Chinese would have more time to focus on other aspects of technology, such as operating systems and networks.

First of all, Ling Shizhe has planned a set of encoding schemes including simplified Chinese characters and traditional fonts - Chinese standard code, which directly covers the content of GB-2312 and BIG5 in the original time and space.

With the strong popularity of PC computers, the Chinese standard code will inevitably become the industry standard, until the official standard.

Secondly, in terms of input method, Ling Shizhe chose a simple and easy-to-use pinyin input method.

Basic education here in Treasure Island is taught by phonetic symbols, traditional Chinese characters are phonetic input methods, and simplified Chinese characters are Chinese pinyin input methods.

The workload of the whole project is very large, Ling Shizhe can not complete it by himself, and there is no need for that, he only planned a general framework, realized the pioneering and core module functions, and then divided the R&D team into two groups, one group is responsible for the work of traditional Chinese characters, and the other group is responsible for the work of simplified Chinese characters.

After the founding of New China, the mainland began to popularize simplified characters, but the standard of simplified characters at that time was not perfect, so for a long period of time, it caused a certain amount of confusion. Therefore, in 1964, the mainland government began to improve the research program of the standard of simplified Chinese characters, but later due to the influence of the special period, the research was interrupted for a time, and it was not until the end of the special period that the mainland resumed the study of the perfection of simplified characters. By the time Ling Shizhe crossed over, the simplified Chinese character scheme in the mainland had developed to the fifth generation, and the glyph arrangement had been completely mature.

Now that this scheme has matured, there is no need for Ling Shizhe to come up with another scheme, and directly threw the fifth-generation simplified character standard to the research team, and asked them to fill in the lines word by word according to the requirements.

These difficulties are not only the intellectual overhead of the software, but also the cost of the hardware.

After the text is sorted and encoded according to certain rules, and can be retrieved by input method, it is still not all right, and the computer must arrange the matching storage space in order to display them, and the ASCII table containing the 26 basic letters of English is not much, but the font containing thousands of Chinese characters is expensive.

Fortunately, Apple computer bought a nine-needle 16*16 printer, which can print Chinese characters more perfectly, but the traditional Chinese font library contains nearly 10,000 words, roughly calculated, the required storage space has reached 320k, this cost is currently unaffordable for the printer.

You must know that the CPU used by the PC is still 8-bit, and its maximum addressing address space is 64K, and Apple's current hot-selling PC model is only equipped with 48KB of memory.

Seeing this situation, Ling Shizhe had no choice but to put on the battle again, using data compression technology to reduce the space occupied by the Chinese character library to an acceptable level, which made it possible to be commercialized.

Therefore, it can be seen from the above that in the original historical time and space, the road of computer informatization of Chinese characters was very tortuous.

Now, Ling Shizhe set the direction and framework at the initial stage, although this increases the workload of the Chinese input research and development team, and it will take a long time to launch the computer Chinese input method, but once completed, it will be the most complete Chinese input method standard in the world. And this set of input methods also contains a perfect Japanese character input standard,As for the Chinese character encoding standard launched by Japan and South Korea after the introduction of loopholes,Ling Shizhe directly ignored。

At the same time, in order to make this set of coding the only standard in Southeast Asia, Ling Shizhe also made a set of Japanese and Korean coding and input method standards according to the Japanese and Korean spelling habits of later generations, as for the original set of coding standards in the history of Japan and South Korea, he also directly ignored it.

The reason why he did so was to satisfy Ling Shizhe's bad taste - pirated Japanese games. Historically, Japanese games are very popular in Chinese mainland, but because the vast majority of Chinese cannot understand Japanese characters, a large number of Chinese translation teams were born among the people, and due to the huge workload of translation, the translated Chinese version of Japanese game software is very rare on the market.

Now, if the set of standards for unifying Chinese characters, Japanese, and Korean encoding and input edited by Ling Shizhe becomes a unified official standard in the future, then the translation between Japanese and Chinese characters will no longer be a problem, and only a set of software can be easily exchanged between Japanese and Chinese characters, whether it is simplified or traditional, it will be very convenient, and it will save a lot of time.

Ling Shizhe engaged in this set of coding standards, and did not consider whether the national government and the Japanese and South Korean governments would accept it. In his opinion, you have to accept it, and you have to accept it if you don't accept it. If he doesn't accept it, he will use the PC computer to use a hardware and operating system, as well as the bundle of QQ instant messaging software to force, when people get used to this set of coding standards, their official standards will naturally be invalid.

Of course, it takes a lot of time for you to translate accurately and accurately express the meaning behind the text, but there is still no problem with the translation of general vernacular and saliva (except for local slang, which no one can understand if you are not a local), and the accuracy rate can basically reach 90%, and the remaining 10% needs to be reviewed by the editor for final correction.

In Ling Shizhe's view, Zhu Bangfu did not abide by the trend of technological development and the corresponding laws of market development, which is not very easy for the pragmatic Ling Shizhe to accept, and of course it is not without benefits, that is, it is a great promotion for the preservation and research of various ancient books in China.

After thinking about it, Ling Shizhe proposed a compromise plan to Zhu Bangfu: do not pursue the best at one time, but complete it in three stages, that is, according to the three stages of traditional, simplified, and ancient and rare to complete step by step, and divide the market according to pinyin, phonetic, and ancient, Korean, and Japanese in use.

Don't you Zhu Fubang want to protect ancient books? Okay,We can launch a kind of input method based on traditional Chinese characters specifically for the protection of ancient books,Divided into two kinds of phonetic and pinyin,Those who are accustomed to using pinyin will use pinyin,Those who are accustomed to using phonetic phonetics will use phonetics,This is more targeted to the market than this hodgepodge you made,More targeted to the market。

After listening to Ling Shizhe's suggestion, Zhu Bangfu also felt that this method was better, so he gladly accepted it and began to adjust his research direction.

Seeing that he accepted his suggestion, Ling Shizhe said again: "Mr. Zhu, with all due respect, you are not necessarily good at the underlying technology of computers, it is better to concentrate all your energy on the sorting out of Chinese coding, as well as the design and algorithm of input methods, and the hardware side will be implemented by special personnel." ”

Zhu Bangfu showed a puzzled look on his face, "I don't understand the division of labor you said. ”

Ling Shizhe explained with a smile: "Take the PC computer as an example, there is a circuit board inside it, which I call a Chinese card, which is specially used to store the Chinese character library, process the input of Chinese characters, and display the Chinese characters. Take away the Hanka, the PC personal computer is an ordinary English computer, and with the Hanka, it becomes a Chinese computer. ”

Zhu Bangfu nodded suddenly, "In other words, I just need to concentrate on designing another kind of Hanka that has more comprehensive support for Chinese characters, and then install it on the PC." "Ugh...... Almost, I will find a professional hardware engineer to do the hardware work of Hanka, he will actively cooperate with you, you will be responsible for the sorting of Chinese code, as well as the design and algorithm of the input method, do you see the line? Ling Shizhe asked Zhu Bangfu's opinion.

Of course, the specific implementation will not be so simple, and it will also involve the support details of the operating system and other aspects, but the general idea is that Zhu Bangfu is still right.

"I see. Yes, just do what you say. Zhu Bangfu agreed.

Seeing that Zhu Bangfu agreed to his plan, Ling Shizhe was about to pick up the phone on the table and ask Andy. Grove sent a few hardware engineers over, and the structural phone rang first, "Hey, hello, who are you looking for?" ”

"Husband, I'm Qianqian, my sister has entered the hospital."
