Chapter 332: You Have to Listen to Me
The chairman continued: "If you are the owner of a small company, according to the manufacturer's expectations, you should give preference to the second model, but you may not really be willing to buy this one, maybe out of the company's future considerations, maybe out of doubts about the performance of the second model, feel that the second model is not as good as the first one and set your sights on the first one......"
Although Michael felt that what the chairman said made sense, he was still a little unconvinced, and said: "Whether he buys the first one or the other models, they are all buying the products of the DE company, so the purpose of their sales products has been achieved, so why do they care which one they buy?" ”
The chairman sneered: "This is your wishful thinking, you are wrong about the positioning of users, and you still want to expect a miracle?" It causes confusion among users, and this confusion will not bring you market sales, but will only bring suspicion and wait-and-see from users Unless they have to buy a computer now, they will expect other similar products to appear, and look forward to similar products from other companies, so that they can compare these products, and then choose a computer ...... that meets their minds, children, market share and ambition are not equal, and will not be proportional to the number of styles of the product"
What he didn't know was that the DE company in his previous life was indeed as he said, and the company that was in the stage of decline did not improve because of these three computers that cost a lot of money, but fell deeper and deeper, and the three computers developed were just wedding dresses for other companies
Before Michael could speak, the chairman asked, "What about Texas Instruments?" ”
Michael replied: "Texas Instruments has done a good job of secrecy, we can't find out their white spoon trade secrets, but we are not without gains, we have noticed that they have commissioned a market research company to study the market prospects of home computers, and I think they will also go all out to enter the computer market."
The chairman instructed: "DE company has fallen behind, their trick will not bring them glory, it will only bring them a fiasco, your information department's attention does not have to be wasted on them, but should focus on Texas instruments, you must pay close attention to their white spoon movements"
Michael had no choice but to reply, "Okay, Chairman."
After Michael walked out, the chairman picked up the phone, pressed a few numbers, and waited for the other party to come from the voice, and said: "Immediately notify the company's senior management to hold a meeting immediately to study the positioning of the computer, you inform them to immediately think about the following related issues, and wait an hour later to speak at the meeting: first, the construction of basic elements such as the function and price of the computer; Second, to take into account the advantages and disadvantages of chart processing and word processing in the computer at the same time, and third, how to deal with Texas Instruments' entry into the computer market......"
After waiting for the secretary to agree, the frowning chairman picked up a piece of paper, grabbed a pen and wrote on the paper: Increase R&D funds, increase advertising investment Write here, he wrote three capital letters on the paper: "d, e,", but then drew these three letters...... At a time when several major companies in the United States were gearing up to get into a computer, Guo was writing game programs in his humble director's office, but he wrote them on paper instead of directly entering them into the computer, because this computer did not have a computer with a keyboard and a monitor, only a small computer with a DJS0 that worked for hours from time to time and went on strike from time to time
DJS0 small country computer experts imitate the United States NVA200 minicomputer, although its performance is far less than an ordinary note in the previous life, but its volume is not comparable to the previous life computer It occupies half a room, and is divided into many cabinets, such as memory cabinets, control cabinets and interface cabinets, etc., there are many memory boards in the memory cabinets, these memory boards are composed of many extremely small ring cores around the extremely fine enameled wire; There are many discrete components, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistor diodes and transistors, etc., which are crowded next to each other and distributed in an orderly manner
In Guo Zhuocheng, who came from his previous life, this small plane was garbage, but he had to accept it, and he had to carefully protect it and use it, which was transferred from other units by the superior organization in his face, and there was also a squad of soldiers who came with it
It is the duty of these fighters to protect this computer
Guo Zhuocheng's program is first written on paper, carefully proofread and then handed over to the paper tape punching technician, let them make rows of dense holes on the paper tape punching machine, and then "translate" into the text program by the tape reader, and then compare the translated text program with Guo Zhuocheng's program by the specialist, and re-punch and re-"translate" until the hole on the paper tape accurately maps the program content on Guo Zhuocheng's paper, and then the paper tape is entered into the DJS0 minicomputer and let the old computer calculate
Guo Zhuocheng is hard, but his hard work has not been exchanged for good praise in Su Guangsheng and other experts, as the chief engineer of the project, Guo Zhuocheng put a lot of time and energy on the game programming, it is really not a proper job, his work should be used to improve the performance of the computer, his energy should be used to design the chip, used to improve the integration of integrated circuits
"Games? What's that? Isn't that a waste of time? Who would use an expensive computer to play with these useless things, as the old saying goes, 'playthings are demoralized', although the United States is not exactly the same as China's entry, but the concept of entry is not too big? ”
Su Guangsheng boasted that he had an unusual relationship with Guo Zhuocheng, and often came to comfort Guo Zhuocheng on behalf of all the experts, persuading him to concentrate on his work and not to be too idealistic
Although Su Guangsheng is an intellectual, his words are still quite tactful, and the meaning of his words is actually that Guo Zhuocheng is not serious in his work, fails to grasp the key points, and is too playful, and has greatly disappointed the ardent expectations of the higher-level organization for him, and also failed the ardent expectations of the higher-level organization for the establishment of the computer department, which makes these experts and professors who are bent on carrying forward the computer department feel ashamed
Guo Zhuocheng, who worked hard to program, couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Su Guangsheng's words
You must know that he was not a computer expert or a software expert in his previous life, and writing game programs is not as simple for him as commanding a special combat team to fight, he must learn from experts with high programming skills while recalling, and write down letters and letters on paper to program, and write a lot of them every time he dies
His workload is very large, and it can really be said that he forgets to sleep and eat, in addition to writing game programs, he also has to constantly check the development progress of each team, to ask about the procurement of relevant components, to care about the use of funds, to care about everyone's life and work, so miserable, but in exchange for Su Guangsheng and others to enter such an evaluation, he is really depressed as depressed as he is
He really wanted to say to Professor Su Guangsheng loudly: Old man, you don't understand that games are a content that is attractive and the most attractive for users to buy If you enter the computer and have no games to play, it is estimated that the income from buying computers will be reduced by at least 60 percent, even if you have a network in your previous life, you can visit a variety of stations, and you can read online novels, but computer games and online games are still things that many people must play In the previous life, online games have become a large industry with different scales and an inexhaustible gold mine
Because this is something that will happen in the future, Su Guangsheng absolutely doesn't believe it when he says it now, Guo Zhuocheng had no choice but to say: "Professor Su, you have also arrived at these bad jobs, everyone's enthusiasm is very high, and the work is progressing very fast, although I am a little good at the overall architecture and operating system, but in each specific field, everyone is much stronger than me, including you, Professor Su Guangsheng, are experts in all aspects, I can only be your white spoon student, you can't eliminate me, a layman, to lead you experts?" So, I focused on my computer programming, in fact, whether the game will help us sell our products in the future, at least in the future, I can train a few programming masters."
Su Guangsheng said sternly: "Director Guo, the home computer is a complete project for us, we can all listen to your chief engineer, if you do it so freely, then our project will be dangerous, and everyone's confidence will be insufficient."
Guo Zhuocheng was speechless for a while: Since you all recognize me as the chief engineer, what is there to blame for me taking the time to write the game program? Is it only by pointing fingers in front of you and shouting a few words from time to time that we are strict and responsible?
He said: "Of course, I have confidence in this project, and I have confidence in you experts and professors, and this confidence is not only based on the knowledge level, technical ability, and consciousness of your experts, but also on my grasp of the overall situation of computers, and on my in-depth understanding of the world computer market.
Professor Su Guangsheng only smiled bitterly at Guo Zhuocheng's words, and he asked helplessly: "Do you really think that games are so important to computers?" Do we old men use computers to play games when we have them? ”
Guo Zhuocheng couldn't refute this old-fashioned old man at all, so he had to play the last card: "Professor Su, do you trust me or not?" ”
Su Guangsheng thought that Guo Zhuocheng was angry, and hurriedly said: "Of course trust, I just doubt the role of the game itself, is it so attractive?" Plaything Lost Soul o Ah ,......"
Guo Shucheng interrupted him "inch by inch" and said: "In this case, there is no need for us to discuss this issue anymore, you must follow my arrangement"
