Chapter 238: What's That?
"Oh, Kentley, aren't you here too, we should serve the same purpose, to fill our stomachs."
"No, I mean, I've been looking for you for a long time, I've made some new discoveries, about computers, I want to ask you to find out, you're very good at computers, aren't you? You must be very interested. ”
The white young man named Kentley seemed to have finished eating, walked straight over, and sat next to Brad Kate, but seeing that he didn't say hello to the others, he must have been more familiar with Brad, and didn't know anyone else.
Moved his ass inward, made the seat a little empty, and listened to Brad chatting with Kentley, Brad introduced a few people to Kentley, just said that they were all Stanford classmates, although Kentley was a little curious when he saw Li Jian's appearance, but just glanced at it, remained polite, and did not stare at Li Jian.
Li Jian listened to Brad chatting with Kentley, but he never thought that this matter had something to do with him.
It turned out that Kentley was a former classmate of Brad, and in addition to studying, he worked as a part-time reporter for a magazine called New Science, that is, a part-time reporter who wrote all kinds of articles in weekly newspapers such as the domestic computer newspaper in later times.
Yesterday, when he went to HPH for an interview, he had such an exam question, visiting the production equipment, and then accurately describing the application of these equipment.
So Kentlay saw the strange sight of all the machines being produced in a mountain of personal computer warehouses, not packed in foam, let alone in cardboard boxes.
At first, Kentlay thought it was for their interview. But after roughly estimating the number, he immediately reversed his idea, and it was impossible for the HR department to interview such insignificant little people. And let tens of thousands of produced products pile up here and don't pack them up for sale.
In particular, these brand-new PCs are supposed to be HPH's latest products, and the latest products that have not yet been released have been released.
"At the time, I thought we were going to test our knowledge, that is, how much we knew about the history of HPH and how much we knew about their products before we came to the interview, but I remember that. I really didn't have any idea of what new products they were going to release, and they didn't have any publicity at all, so my heart was cold at the time. ”
Kentley patted his heart. made an exaggerated move,
So I secretly stood at the front and looked at the models of these big guys from the side, hoping to get some help from the nameplate on it. But I was wrong. What I saw was not a nameplate, but in front of the computer's main chassis, there was still an empty position, nothing, just empty. ”
Kent used the spoon to gesture on the table, Li Jian didn't actually need to look at it, just listening to Kentley to understand, at this moment, Kent was comparing a rectangle about the size of a hamburger. I know in my heart that this is the same as a compoq. It's the reserved optical drive socket.
"Fortunately, HPH's HR didn't ask about these things, but asked about some ordinary computer knowledge, and I passed the test, but I'm too curious about this thing, Brad, I know that you know a lot about the development of personal computers, you must know what that empty position is, right?"
Kentley asked, puzzled,
"I originally thought it was the position of the five-inch floppy drive, but there is already a three-inch floppy drive below, why do you need to add a five-inch one on top, just for the three-inch five-inch standard dispute? But now it is not tending to be a three-inch disc as a standard, and then putting a five-inch disc is purely a waste, not to mention, if it is for the position of the five-inch disk, why don't they install it directly, the five-inch floppy drive is something that can be seen everywhere. ”
"Oh, this is certainly not a floppy drive, believe me, HPH can't know that the five-inch floppy drive will be eliminated and put two floppy drives at the same time for the so-called standard, this is a waste. But what kind of new device this is, I really don't know, I think since they have already prepared tens of thousands of new personal computer products for release, this date must not be too far away, and no company will stock up on more than 100,000 new products before the product is launched. ”
Bradkite said, not to mention hph alone, even IBN, COMPOQ and other companies will not hoard 100,000 units of products for stocking, the entire consumer market of personal computers is not very big, this is a market waiting for gold diggers to enter.
Looking at the corner of the restaurant where Brad fell into silence after speaking, Li Jian wanted to laugh in his heart but didn't dare to laugh, only one person knew the truth of the matter, but he couldn't find out the feeling, which made him really uncomfortable.
"I thought I should write an article, which can be regarded as creating an atmosphere for the launch of a new product by my new owner, HPH, since even you don't know, this may really be HPH's unique secret."
Kentley greeted Brad and Li Jian and others, turned around and left the restaurant, and Reds also waited out of the door of the restaurant first, waited for Li Jian at the door, and asked in a low voice,
"My boss, this must have something to do with you, right? When I saw that Kentley speak, your expression was wonderful. ”
"The mystery will be revealed in a few days, and you won't wait, will you?"
Li Jian didn't continue, but Redes patted his head,
"Oh, this must have something to do with the freighter you booked a few days ago, it shipped some things from your country to Compoq, and then transferred to California, I understand, this is still the freight company I helped you contact, oh, count the days, this shipment should have arrived in Texas, that is, it will arrive in California soon?"
"Shhhh
Li Jian quickly canceled the topic, waited for Brad and them to come over, and went back to the laboratory together, and after a while, Brad and the others went back to their dormitory, and Li Jian followed Redders to live in his apartment.
Reds' house is a rented apartment nearby, the rooms are not big. But fortunately, there are several bedrooms, and Li Jian doesn't have to worry about living in the same bed with Reds.
The advantage of living here is that it is very close to the laboratory, so you don't have to worry about delays on the way back and forth.
It's just that Li Jian was changing the sheets. I found something in my bed and immediately felt like I was staying in a hotel in Reds.
Because it was obviously some women's long blonde hair, it seemed that Reds's personal life was not lonely.
However, Li Jian had no intention of caring about Reds's private life, and the fatigue of the day made him lie on the bed and fall asleep deeply, but he didn't know that after he left. Many people in China are very busy.
Lin Kaihe flew directly from Yanjing to Dongguang, and took a long-distance bus from Baiyun Airport back to Zhenshen, where he had just left a few days ago. At the same time, he communicated Li Jian's request to the old colleagues of Shengli Machinery Factory, several of whom were rejected by them when Lin Kaihe invited them at the beginning, and then saw Lin Kaihe's development and wanted to come but never got Li Jian's reply, when they talked to Lin Kaihe. You can hear the sourness in it.
However, opportunities can only be reserved for those who are prepared. Since they missed the opportunity and want to have Lin Kaihe's development, they can only wait, waiting for a better opportunity to appear.
The land situation of the new factory was measured on the spot, and according to the conditions of the site, a new set of chemical production equipment was rebooked, and Lin Kaihe found a construction team to fence off the land of the factory, and the old fish pond was also dried by him. A whole fish feast was made for the workers in the factory for a few days.
As for the machines needed by the paper mill, Lin Kaihe originally planned to order a set of the latest domestic products from the Zhoulan Machinery Factory. But Li Jian rejected his idea, and instead asked Qi Cuiping to contact the island country and import a set of paper-making equipment from the island country.
As for the reason, Li Jian explained that the gap between domestic products and the international market is not to mention, and in terms of pollution prevention treatment, the equipment of the island country is much better than that of Zhoulan.
After being busy in Zhenshen, Lin Kaihe thanked Li Jian a little and arranged for Qi Cuiping to purchase papermaking equipment.
Qi Cuiping also kicked her eyes in Yanjing, secretly counting Li Jian's no, the inspection of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has passed, and the post and telecommunications bureaus in various places have received a notice from the ministry and are ready to release numbers in the near future, and Qianghua needs to organize a large number of manpower to work in various places, these people alone are enough for Qi Cuiping to have a headache.
Although a lot of engineers were borrowed from the 99th Army, the construction of iron towers in many places had not yet begun, and the transmitters and receivers originally produced by Qianghua for pagers did not have so much inventory.
In addition to the base station, the production line for the production of mobile fixed phones has not been successfully debugged, if you start to release the number now, when will the people really use mobile phones.
Li Jian is a little impatient in this operation.
Qi Cuiping didn't know what Li Jian's purpose was for doing this, but she knew that the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications was already in a hurry, and she was afraid that when the construction of the towers in various places was completed, she would have to let Qianghua provide mobile phones in large quantities.
Even if Tan Yongsheng and Li Jian have a close personal relationship, in this kind of major matter, Li Jian has to be beaten a few boards.
What she can't understand is that Li Jian has emphasized several times that the market for pagers is not very big, and because Qianghua's new products will continue to be launched, pagers have actually entered the saturation period of the market.
However, the dismantled production line of Motoraro was actually bought by Li Jian halfway, and the Indonesian manufacturer who bought the Motoraro production line was slightly increased in price, and the other party agreed to change hands.
But what did Qianghua do when he bought this production line, did he produce pagers, what he produced was enough, was it ready to backlog, or what Li Jian said before was a lie.
Could it be that he wants to use this production line to retrofit it and turn it into a production line for mobile fixed-line phones? (To be continued......)
PS: Now on the train, it was originally yesterday's business trip, because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the leader fought for it, changed to early this morning, compared with the keyboard with a mobile phone, it feels too bad, especially without a mouse, when the chapter is released, it is simply a crime, but the drunk horse will use all the time code words, not for anything else, the drunk horse likes to write novels, and also looks forward to changing his life by writing novels, although the level of the drunk horse is limited, but the drunk horse is still working hard, hoping to use his own heart, Dedicated to the novels you like to read, thank you for accompanying the growth of the drunken horse, thank you.
