In less than a week, the tape-out of the chip came out, which was made by a chip factory located in Silicon Valley, USA, and at the same time, the recruitment of related laboratories and personnel also began, recruiting a total of 13 people, 5 semiconductor experts and 4 electronic engineers and 4 camera lens engineers, Mike became the head of the CPU department, and Nien was the head of the electronic engineer. When the chip came out, it didn't take them a few days to complete the sample machine of the point-and-shoot camera, and they made more than 30 sample machines at a time, and the appearance was ugly, and they didn't pay attention to the appearance at all, just to test whether Ling Shizhe's design was feasible. After handing over the file and buying several boxes, most of the company's employees received a camera to participate in the test after signing a confidentiality contract under the witness of the lawyer. Shooting quality, reliability, durability and whether the various features meet the design requirements and so on.

After continuous repeated testing, most of the cameras met the design requirements, and the photo quality was good, but some did not. After Ling Shizhe and the technical staff focused on understanding these problems, they found that they mainly occurred in the backlight compensation, red eye elimination, long exposure, repeated exposure and other problems, after repeated research, Ling canceled the elimination of red eye, long exposure, repeated exposure and other some less suitable functions, these functions are gradually added after entering the era of digital cameras and the enhancement of electronic technology, and now these functions are not suitable, and portrait, landscape, dynamic, macro, Several functions of the night, except for the dynamic, have been retained, and they have been strengthened. After the improvement, the performance of the camera is much better, the architecture is finalized, and the next step is to change him to a beautiful case.

Ling Shizhe plans to divide the point-and-shoot camera into high-end and mid-range, targeting the European, American, Chinese-bourgeoisie, and bourgeoisie according to the glass lens and ceramic model, with a price ranging from $220 to $370. This price is absolutely acceptable to them, and it is also the price of later Japan, and Ling Shizhe's point-and-shoot camera technology level is much higher than that of Japan. Japan can sell well, there is no reason why Ling Shizhe's camera performance is so much higher, and the price is the same reason that it is not a big sale.

At this time, Ling Shizhe began to return to Hong Kong to build a factory, and in order to produce this kind of camera, he had to build two factories, a camera assembly plant and a lens factory; The lens factory is divided into two parts, one is the glass lens factory and the other is the lens installation factory. The whole cost of the equipment alone costs more than 2800 w dollars, which is expensive mainly because the lens factory accounts for the absolute majority, because of the use of ultrasonic motor and anti-shake technology, the production equipment of these accessories alone is very expensive, and they are all customized equipment; In addition, the production equipment is quite advanced and the degree of automation is quite high, so it is naturally expensive. However, the construction cost of the factory is not low, it is a typical clean factory, otherwise the lens will be polluted, and the whole cost is not 5000w US dollars. Looking at these figures, Ling Shizhe smacked his tongue in his heart, it is only 1968 now, the currency has not depreciated to the same level as in later generations, and the Bray Forest system has not yet disintegrated, and the dollar at this time is the real dollar. The F14 fighters that entered service in 1974 are less than 1600W each, and 5000W can buy 3 F14s is more than enough.

The plane landed out of the pedestrian passage at Hong Kong Airport, and Ling Shizhe saw Tao Cheng'an, the director of the ceramic factory, come over, took Ling Shizhe's suitcase and said: "Zheshao, you have worked hard all the way, and my wife has prepared more dishes for you in the villa in Repulse Bay." Come and go this way, there are a lot of reporters over there, go out this way."

"A lot of journalists"? Ling Shizhe said as he walked, "It's for me, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Make no mistake that you Zhe Shao came, those reporters heard that your Zhe Shao's flight came early, waiting for the airport gate", Tao Chengan said after getting out of the airport and getting on the bus: "You invested 5000w dollars to build a camera factory in Hong Kong, and those reporters want to ask you what kind of camera you want to spend more than 5000w dollars in a factory to produce, Hong Kong has never had one, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia are all sensational."

Ling Shizhe smiled and said, "How is the factory, are you okay?" "The factory is very good, after the expansion of the factory, the production volume has quadrupled compared with the original, the two production lines of the factory are at full capacity, which can not meet the needs of the company at all, and has begun to go to the third day of the production line.

"I remember that the Wu family's factory is next to our factory, the scale is as big as ours, aren't they quite popular, why don't they want to do it?"

"Yes, it's the one next to it, their factories have been shut down for more than 3 months, the workers have been disbanded, and a few workers have been left to guard the plant and maintain the equipment," Tao Ancheng said with emotion: "Now the entire Hong Kong ceramic industry except for our Ling family can not do other businesses, and they are almost down; Last year, Zhe Shao you higher new mutton fat white jade porcelain, our ceramic factory on the sales of good, see our ceramics sell well, have invested in the construction of ceramic factory, thinking that now the ceramic market has become better, all want to take advantage of this heat, good money".

"As a result, as soon as the factory is built, the ceramic production can not be sold, and no one wants to throw it on the street, the Wu family's ceramic factory can only support itself, but it was rushed by these new small package factories, and it closed when it was finished."

Ling Shizhe's heart was full of sneers: "When they were engaged in this project, wasn't there a different ceramic like mine?" ”

Tao Chengan smiled bitterly: "They know, they think it's the same as before, call a few masters, and come out with a concentrated work, who knows that they can't figure out what's going on after a year, and they can't get it out after spending a lot of money." If they can't get it, they want to dig up our master, and if they dig up our master, they can't get it out; If you can't get it, you can only produce those ordinary ceramics, and no one wants those ceramics, and as a result, you can't afford to leave, so you have to close down; Later, they heard that your ceramics had applied for international patents, but no one would buy them even if they got them, and as a result, more factories were closed; By the way, Zheshao, after you left, those technicians are almost gone, and now there are only 2 college students and a master left, and the others are gone, all of them have been poached by people from other ceramic factories, and now those ceramic factories are closed, they are also unemployed, they want to come back, I didn't promise them. ”

Ling Shizhe scolded in his heart: "A bunch of unfamiliar wolves, thinking that after a few months with me, they thought that they had figured out the secret of ceramics, and if they wanted to be beautiful, I would have already taken precautions." He said: "Why come back and steal our technology, and after stealing it, you and my opponent come to steal our business?" Leave them alone. Those who didn't leave were not bad, give them a raise, double the salary. ”

After returning to the villa, Tao Chengan said: "Zhe Shao has a good rest, but he has jet lag, and I will come over in two days." ”

After entering the house, he saw that the table was full of food, and when he turned his head and saw Zhang Yuzhen bringing out a plate of soup, Zhang Yuzhen put the fish on the table and said to Ling Shizhe: "Hungry, come to eat, eat, take a bath, and have a good rest." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After resting for two days, Tao Chengan came over again, and Ling Shizhe followed him to the factory. The factory is in Kwun Tong, the workers are busy, the two production lines are all at full capacity, and there is also a production line and a sintering furnace under construction, and the benefits will be doubled after the completion and operation. Although the scene of the boom is very happy, the problem of serious lack of production capacity is also very troublesome, and if it is to reach normal, it will take 3 lines to complete. Six production lines, supplying the global high-end market is just right, so that the production line is also saturated, but also can cause a slight hunger marketing, just to ensure the maximization of benefits, in how long is it meaningless, but will also have an impact on our porcelain, high-end ceramics can not produce too much. After the third one is built, the production capacity is still half worse, and you have to work harder, by the way, isn't the Wu family going to sell their factory, they have 3 production lines, just right, I just don't know how their equipment is, the price is reasonable, if it is suitable to buy, the problem will be solved, and Tao Chengan will be asked to ask.

Wu's Ceramics Factory, "Zhe Shao, let me introduce to you, this is Wu Jian, the eldest son of the Wu family; Wu Gongzi," Tao Chengan said to a middle-aged man in his 40s with Ling Shizhe, and then turned his head to Wu Jian and said: "Wu Gongzi, this is the seventh son of our family, Ling Shizhe, Zhe Shao." ”

Wu Jian stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Zhe Shao, the factory has been prosperous in just one year at a young age, it is not simple, and now I have invested 5000w US dollars to establish a camera factory, which is really extraordinary, compared with you Zhe Shao, I feel that I am old." ”

Ling Shizhe also stretched out his hand and shook Wu Jian gently, and said with a smile: "Wu Gongzi, you don't look old at all, you are in the prime of life, and you are officially doing a career." I heard you're going to enter the real estate industry too? ”

"Hehe, don't you dare to compare with your family, we are just making a small fuss, come to Ling Shao, I will take you to see the factory."

The factory is still good after looking at it, there are 4 production lines, 2 sintering furnaces, and Ling Shizhe's ceramic factory is the same as a clean sintering furnace, stamping production line, is a new production line in Japan, it is also very advanced, and the automation is also high, but it is worse than that of Germany, 160 million yuan, when this price came Ling Shizhe and Tao Chengan summed up this price is more appropriate.

Ling Shizhe talked to him about bargaining, and Wu Jian said after listening to it: " This 1.6 is a fixed price, I am a refreshing person, I believe that before Zhe Shao came, I also knew that the price I opened was not messy, and I also knew that the price I said would not be far from the asset company and your offer, this price is a sincere price, and this factory is sold together with the land, Zhe Shao, after you buy it, you can connect these two factories and become a large factory, and the company has no debts, I also know what Ling Shao is worried about, that is, the problem of workers, you can rest assured, although the company is closed, but the workers are not disbanded, just let them go home, and pay them the minimum wage, as long as the factory is completed, the factory will call them all to work. You can start working right away. ”

After hearing this, Ling Shizhe turned his head to look at Tao Chengan, and Tao Chengan said to Ling Shizhe: "Ling Shao, when the Wu family wanted to sell the ceramic factory, they planned to sell it to you, because at that time, you were busy developing a new camera in Canada, and you couldn't be contacted, so the Wu family contacted the master, and after the master checked it himself, he decided to make a decision after you came back."

Hearing Tao Cheng'an say this, Ling Shizhe knew that Ling Zhigao was optimistic about the preliminary work, but when he came back to decide, the Wu family knew that only Ling Shizhe could eat such a big factory in Hong Kong, and he was willing to eat it, and others either couldn't eat it, or they were not interested in it at all. In this case, there was no need for him to bargain, and then agreed that the lawyers of both parties would sign the contract in three days.

After the contract was signed, Wu's Ceramics Factory merged with the original Ling's Ceramics, and the new factory was called Ambrera Ceramics Company, and the Ambrera Ceramics Division was established at the same time. The workers of the factory also returned and began to produce Ling Shizhe's new mutton fat white jade porcelain, and the new factory soon entered normal production.

In August 1968, Ling Shizhe laid the foundation stone for his camera factory in Hong Kong.

Standing on the construction site, Ling Shizhe looked at the hot construction scene, Ling Shizhe had an indescribable feeling in his heart, it has been 4 years since he was reborn in this world, in his previous life, he was a poor worker who lived in no fixed place, and he was busy with his life every day, and in this life, he became a rich second generation, he didn't have to be busy with life every day, he was also busy, but he was busy for his career, two moods, two feelings, and only he could experience the taste. He knew that whether it was in his previous life or in this life, it was a toiling life, a day when he completely collapsed.
