Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month

SAM's hack upgrade campaign was a huge success. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info (《》.com

At noon, the entrance to the cafeteria was crowded with people, and everyone didn't go in, they all crowded here, either to crack their own calculators or to install more software and games. Later, the staff of the cafeteria had to come over to maintain order, and everyone lined up to enter. Of course, if you don't want to queue up, you can go for lunch first and come back after eating.

The four of them have been surrounded by classmates, and everyone has expressed that they want to upgrade their calculators, and the price of thirty dollars is very cost-effective, which is nothing more than the price of eating a few snacks. But after the computer revamp, the memory and flash memory can be increased, and the relay program can be installed, and the wireless broadcast service can be provided to other people, and many people want to try this function and become the center of everyone.

Lin Hong and the four of them were able to calmly record each other's names at the beginning, but later, there were too many people, so they had to find an excuse to leave, and the four of them gathered together to discuss it, and then discussed a plan.

In addition, a special application program is written, everyone downloads this program from the relay server, then fills out the form, and then uploads it to the server, and the SAM Association upgrades the calculator in a certain order.

Fill out the form, either by requesting a calculator upgrade or by purchasing a CDAD trunk device.

Among them, to apply for hardware upgrades, you must not only write the name of your class clearly, but also describe the purpose of your upgrade, if you are willing to volunteer to provide relay services for everyone, you will be given priority.

At noon, Arthur wrote out the application program in the activity room and posted it on the server as soon as possible, so that everyone could download and install it in the cafeteria.

When they arrived at the end of school in the afternoon, Lin Hong and the others returned to the activity room again, and looked at the application form on the server, which had reached more than one hundred and sixty copies, except for more than 30 of them who had purchased CDAD synchronization equipment, and the others wanted to upgrade their calculators.

Matthew was very happy about this: "It seems that everyone is quite looking forward to our upgrade, and even CDAD has more than 30 orders. ("Net7*"

The other three, however, were not as optimistic as he was.

Originally, everyone thought that there would not be many at the beginning, but first a small batch of trials, and then gradually more and more, so that they could also have time.

But now, with so many orders piled up at one time, how busy will it be? And there will definitely be people who will join in the future, there are only four of them, and even if they work all day and night, they don't know how many weeks it will take to complete.

"With so many orders, when will we be able to fulfill them?" Arthur asked.

"yes. Modifying a calculator is a delicate task, and if you're not careful, you're likely to have a hardware failure that slows things down. Lin Hong was also a little helpless.

Matthew was stunned, he just thought about the more orders the better, but he didn't think about whether he could eat it.

"Then we'll put this renovation application on hold for the time being."

This is indeed a headache, and if it is not solved, it will greatly limit the development of the SAM Association. Now it's only a part of our school's students, what if other schools also place orders?

It is certainly impossible to do all this work by themselves, after all, they still have their own business, and it is impossible to spend their time on it twenty-four hours a day.

"There's no need to pause." Lin Hong thought for a while, "This transformation is not very difficult, as long as there is a little electrician foundation in accordance with the prescribed steps to replace the memory chip, we can consider hiring someone to do it, as for CDAD, if the quantity is relatively large, you can consider entrusting the factory to produce and process." ”

Arthur asked, "It's just that our price is already relatively low, and we invite someone else to do it, won't we lose money?" ”

They all looked at Matthew.

Only he knows this kind of thing best.

"The cost of the renovation is about five dollars, and I want to ask a skilled person to do the transformation, and it shouldn't cost five dollars." Matthew thought about it seriously, "I believe there should be a lot of people on the electronics market who are willing to take on this job." I'll go to the city in the afternoon. ”

"What about CDAD? Do you also entrust the processing to others? ”

"This synchronization device is a product invented by ourselves, there is no similar product on the market, if you directly ask someone to process it, it is easy to be imitated. If you want to hire someone to process it, it is also after applying for a patent. Matthew went to learn about this aspect of the stuff before and found that this piece is still a blank in the market.

"In this way, Stone, you have the experience of applying for a patent, you can take the trouble to apply for a patent for CDAD, and after the patent application is accepted, we will entrust others to process it."

Judging from everyone's reaction this time, Matthew also found that the CDAD device may be very interesting. He may not have thought much about it at first, but now he has the idea of commercializing it.

"I can find a client, but I may have to charge a fee."

"That's fine. Our association still has some money. ”

Lin Hong: "In whose name?" ”

His words stopped Matthew.

Yes, to apply for a patent, there must be an applicant, in whose name is it better?

At this time, Pissen said weakly: "Why don't we go and start a company?" ”

At this time, everyone focused on Pisen's body, and he was uncomfortable.

"This ...... It's okay if you don't start it......"

"I think Pissen's proposal is very good!" Matthew suddenly came to his senses, "yes, why don't we start a company?" ”

This idea was actually the first to come up with Pissen, and he felt a little dissatisfied with himself, and this matter should have been considered by him.

Lin Hong was also very surprised by this idea, and the company's statement was that he gradually got to know it after coming to the United States. In China, it is more common to talk about factories or self-employed people. His father was the director of the car and wood factory, and it took a lot of effort to contract it smoothly.

He couldn't help but ask, "Can we start a company too?" ”

"Of course you can!" Matthew said, "Anyone you want." ”

"What qualifications do we need?"

"Qualifications?"

"Uh...... For example, who will guarantee our credit, and how much registered capital is needed. ”

Matthew was asked. He was very strange, does he need these things to run a company? He actually didn't have any practical experience, but seeing that Lin Hong was more professional, he couldn't make up his mind.

"You don't need that." "It used to be a bit more cumbersome, but now after the network is established, you just need to go to the state government website and fill out an application form, then print it out, attach a check for two hundred dollars, and mail the information to the state industrial and commercial office." After about a week, you will receive your new company's business license, stamp, and blank standard company file folder......"

Pissen spoke eloquently and knew all the details.

"Pissen, how are you so familiar with this?" Matthew wondered.

"My father started a business consulting company, specializing in helping entrepreneurs solve all kinds of problems, and I have seen a lot since I was a child, and I have known it over time."

At this time, Arthur, who had not spoken, suddenly frowned and said, "Start a company? Aren't we commercialized? ”

As soon as he said this, he suddenly became cold.

Everyone can see that Arthur is against the establishment of a company.

Matthew sorted out the language: "Arthur, commercialization can better serve everyone, don't you think?" We can't always rely on donations or sponsorships, only if we can build our own profit model, so that we can sustain it for a longer time......"

This time, though, Matthew failed to convince Arthur. Arthur insisted that the future of SAM was to continue to be a public good, and that if the company were to be founded as a result, the nature would change completely, and the company would make making profits a priority.

So, on the evening of April Fool's Day, the SAM Association held a plenary meeting again.

The theme of the conference was what is the next step for SAM? Do you want to start a company?

Max: Guys, our association is going very well, but now we're having some internal problems. Let's discuss what exactly is the next step.

Matthew then gave the other three members a brief description of what they had discussed today. The torch was the first to speak.

Torch: Actually, I expected this to happen, but I didn't expect this day to come so early. This is mainly due to the fact that the products launched in the second phase of SAM are too revolutionary, which led to the early arrival of this step.

Atom: I don't care, it's good for public welfare or business.

Atom was the last to join, and felt that his contribution to the association was relatively small, so he was the first to take a stand.

Eagle: I think a big part of the reason why the SAM Association has come to this point is that we are non-commercial, and a lot of things are given to people for free, and that's why calculator hackers in other places are willing to contribute to us. So, I think it's time to stick with it, as it was before. We can't start to change our original intentions just because we have made some achievements.

Calculator hacking, that's what it's called for calculator developers, both hardware and software.

Left hand: I think the eaglet's words make sense. If we commercialize the SAM Association, the calculator hackers will leave us, and we won't have so much software in our library.

Max: But if we start a company, we can pay them. Give them the energy to be able to make more powerful software.

Torch: Matthew's words are good. It is not reliable to rely solely on everyone's interest to promote the development of the association. After all, everyone's energy is limited, and it is impossible to spend most of their time on it. If we can pay them, we believe we can attract more professional hackers to join.

Pearson: I'm in favor of starting a company.

Atomically neutral, Matthew, Torch and Pissen are in favor of starting the company, while Arthur and Left Hand are not, leaving Lin Hong alone who has not yet taken a stand.

Max: Stone, what do you mean?
