Double-sided floppy disk floppy drive, this is the next generation of Feiyue technology personal computer configuration update and upgrade requirements, and the technical reserve of hard disk, this is more important, because the floppy disk is just a transitional product after all, and the hard disk is the storage development trend.

"The technical improvement of double-sided floppy disks has your participation in the guidance, and the speed of our technical research and development is very fast, and it is estimated that we will be able to sort out the technical manual before next month, and then appropriately adjust and improve the production line according to our technical manual.

We have been doing this technical reserve of hard disk, we have adopted the strategy of focusing on practical needs, arranging the research and development sequence from the perspective of the company's business needs, through the development of this 1GB capacity storage hard disk, we have basically had the technical foundation of manufacturing 5.25-inch hard disk! ”

Since the last time Yao Fei guided, on the basis of their general ideas and the further increase in the number of team members, the research and development of techniques has been very efficient, and now, he can proudly announce their achievements to Yao Fei.

"Good job, please continue to work hard, tell the factory director, let him actively cooperate with your work, after the 5.25-inch hard disk technology is reserved, you can try to set up a small-scale production line."

In addition, I hope you can further improve this big guy, reduce its volume to 12 inches, 9 inches, 7 inches, and even 5.25 inches now, and even 3.5 inches in the future, which is what you need to achieve step by step! ”

It is crucial for researchers to have a clear research goal, which acts as a beacon to guide the right direction.

After caring about floppy disks and hard drives, Yao Fei was ready to take people to Silicon Valley, personal computers, operating systems, and databases, so for the current Feiyue Technology, what is missing is the network that connects them all.

Although a lot of resources have been invested in the research of application-oriented network cards, as Clark of the computer hardware manufacturing department said, the design of core technology patents such as host interface circuit control, data link controller, codec, network card internal data transceiver, network card media connection and ROM random access storage remote reset technology, etc., these are patents that cannot be bypassed, and these patents are basically concentrated in one company, the name of this company is Knoeller Company.

At present, it is still a relatively small company, founded two years ago, and was founded as a hardware manufacturer based on the CP/M system, which is actually a crisis operating system.

However, they clearly chose the wrong direction, because in the conversion to 16-bit CPUs, they lost to Microsoft's MS-DOS in the 16-bit PC market centered on IBMPC/AT and IBMPC-compatible machines, and they almost faced bankruptcy and disappeared from the market in time for the SPC personal computer of Feiyue Technology.

In 1980, however, they developed a network operating system called NetWare, but in order to run NetWare, they needed to purchase network hardware, and Knoeller seized the opportunity to start selling network interface cards.

Although the company's other business performance was still very poor, with the help of the sales network interface card, the company still developed into a multi-million dollar company by this time.

In the face of Yao Fei and his entourage coming to visit, the person in charge of Noller was Lei. Of course, Noda is very welcome, and although Feiyue Technology is far away in New York on the East Coast, everyone knows about it in Silicon Valley.

From Ray. From Nuoda's point of view, he is very much interested in cooperating with large companies like Feiyue Technology, they have been promoting their network card interface cards, but so far, no computer company is willing to configure Nord network card interface cards on their machines, the reason is simple, on the one hand, it is too expensive, and on the other hand, many people do not need it, so they can only sell their products to customers who need them.

"Mr. Nuoda, we are very interested in your company, and we are here to your company this time in the hope that your company can accept our invitation and join our company......"

It was Jim, the minister of the finance department, who spoke, and Yao Fei was sitting on the side, if there was really anything he needed to speak, he would have some ideas, otherwise he would be ready to be a pure shopkeeper.

"How do you join your company? Stake or acquisition? ”

Faced with Jim's straightforwardness, Noda said tentatively.

"I wonder what Mr. Lun Dao Noda wants?"

In the face of Noda's temptation, Jim, of course, would not be fooled, and then asked rhetorically.

"Of course, we hope to add our company's network interface card to your company's personal computer products, and then through our network operating system, we can connect them perfectly!"

Noda made it clear that they were very willing to join Flyover Technologies, but as a businessman, he was very cunning enough to kick the ball to Jim.

"We just want to be able to buy it wholly owned!"

Seeing that the other party was interested, Yao Fei directly made a final decision and sealed all the other party's ideas.

"Gentlemen, no matter what decision we make, after all, it is related to every employee in our company, so please give us some time to respond, I promise we will give us an answer in the shortest possible time!"

Although he got the exact news from the other party, Noeller Company was not his alone after all, and the sale of the company was a big deal, and he had to negotiate with all the other management personnel of the company.

And Jim and Yao Fei saw that it took time for each other, so they also chose to leave immediately, and the job of acquiring the company should not be too eager, otherwise it would be tantamount to telling others that our company is going to set you, please make an offer, we will all accept it completely.

After Yao Fei and his entourage left, Nuoda also immediately convened a meeting of all the management personnel to listen to the ideas and opinions of others on the idea that Feiyue Technology Company wanted to wholly acquire their Noeller company.

"Boss, did you say they would agree to our acquisition request?"

For Noeller, Feiyue Technology has been following them for a long time, and Jim, as the person in charge, has made a very detailed analysis of the company's financial situation.

Although the sales performance they gave in the CP/M system business is a mess, but in the latest network interface card sales business, this company still shows considerable potential, has been growing at a rate of 15% for 3 consecutive months, this form is very gratifying, and as long as it is a person with a little vision, unless the conditions given by the acquirer are too high, otherwise they will not give up such a cash cow.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jim, they'll agree to our takeover request, no matter what the outcome of their discussion is!"
