Chapter 514: A New Goal
A week after returning from the United States, Shen Yiyi returned to his campus life. And this time, she is more integrated into campus life. Because from now on, Miss Shen is going to start living on campus.
Although it is said that a student has lost a lot of color in his life journey without experiencing the life of boarding on campus, as parents who love their daughter and granddaughter, the female members of Shen Yiyi's family are very opposed to Shen Yiyi living in the school. And at this point, even Shen Jianguo and Shen Haijiang, who were born in the career of Rongma, have not been able to reverse the thinking of their old wives in the family. As a result, although Shen Yiyi went through the dormitory check-in procedures of the school, he did not live in the school dormitory for a long time like other students, except for some times when he needed to stay in the school to do design or experiments.
For the insistence of the elders in the family, Shen Yiyi accepted it. There are two reasons for this. First, she fully understands the need for her to be exiled for many years, causing the elderly in the family to be anxious to seize the little time left in their lives and cultivate a deep relationship with their little granddaughter. It is also based on this that Shen Haijiang, who has always been the most disgusted with his family's specialization, does not oppose the obsession of the old lady of the Shen family. So Shen Yiyi also agreed to the old lady's request that he must live at home. The second reason is Shen Yiyi's own little abacus. Because her stall is a bit big, she often needs more time to deal with her other affairs. And if you live on campus, the school's strict dormitory management system will definitely make your related itinerary very inconvenient. Because of this, her freshman and sophomore years were basically spent in her own home.
And in the third year. Shen Yiyi finally said that his mother and grandmother were about to officially enter the residential life of ordinary college students. Of course, on the other hand, the reason is that she actually passed her own level.
After the trip to the United States. The cash cow of self-propelled self-propelled balance car was born, and Shen Yiyi was able to have a stable source of money to provide financial guarantee for his future scientific research. In this case, the pressure on other operating industries is not so great. Besides, Wang Kai will soon find a few professional managers who can smoothly take over the operation of the enterprise. And Shen Yiyi also believes that even if Wang Kai returns to the career set for him at home, he will not just leave the two of them alone.
Of course, what Shen Yiyi didn't tell Wang Kai was. She still has a lot of money to say to Zhu Yiwa, she has invested in the Morgan consortium, and is preparing to make a big deal from the Asia-Pacific financial crisis that has been released. This is akin to buying and selling without capital. Speaking of which, under the general trend. As long as you keep buying short, buying short, and buying short again along the way, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money. Now is the beginning of the financial crisis, and the crisis that will be broadcast all the way to 1999 will bring Shen Yiyi a considerable fortune. What's more. Shen Yiyi didn't have to study any financial operations for the sake of this financial fortune. She had a great time hitchhiking on Morgan's car.
If a person does not have financial worries. Then she must be able to pursue her other interests with confidence. And Shen Yiyi's hobby is to turn his own designs into reality. She has the heart of a true industrialist.
Thinking of the infrared sensor that I used as the result of my previous research paper, I had already asked Zhu Eva when I was in the United States this time. The patent law firm recommended by the Morgan family also helped register the patent for the sensor when it was doing the patent registration of the self-propelled self-propelled balance car.
Infrared sensors are not a new product. In fact, since the 1960s, various applications have begun on military equipment in the United States. In the past, China, Russia, and other major ******** in the United Nations, which were ranked behind the biggest rogue United States, also existed. However, due to the cost of production, it cannot be popularized on a large scale in civilian use. So only the richest military can afford it. To truly use the people, it is necessary to break through a bottleneck in production costs. Of course. There is also a patent barrier for civil use.
To the surprise of the law firm, this was the first time that a Chinese instrumentation product had been registered at a high level in the United States. Moreover, this patent does not have any overlap with other patents currently in force. This means that this can be regarded as a completely independent intellectual property. This has broken the image of Chinese enterprises, which are traditional copycat countries in Americans' traditional impression.
When Shen Yiyi heard the surprise of the law firm relayed by Zhu Yiwa. She was also taken aback. In fact, this product was originally produced as a result of curriculum design. Therefore, unlike the product development process of ordinary enterprises, this product has not been subject to a patent search from the beginning. Therefore, there was no design to circumvent existing patents during the entire development process. Shen Yiyi himself didn't expect that such a product, from the ingenuity of sophomore students at Tsinghua University, would really become a brand-new human invention. Now those Americans who pout and say copycat at the mention of made_in_China are all immediately dumb.
However, if you think about it carefully, Shen Yiyi is not surprised. Because an invention wants to be put into the market, in the face of customer pickiness, price is a hurdle that can never be avoided. The patents to be registered by any company are mainly for the purpose of patent protection for their own production processes and production routes, thus becoming a de facto production barrier. And the technology that Shen Yiyi has worked hard with his classmates has a significant imprint of Shen Yiyi. Because when Shen Yiyi was doing this project, he happened to be investing in the research and development of material purification technology at the same time. Therefore, Shen Yiyi's technical route is fundamentally based on materials with high purity.
It is important to know that the higher the purity of the material, the greater the man-hours and costs required. For the average business, that is definitely an important reason for the price of the product to rise. Because of this, the average Western company will not use such technology to produce products, and of course, it will not invest in research and development. Shen Yiyi is not. She researches material purification processes. Although it is not the most economical method, it must be the technical route that is most in line with the actual situation of China in the here and now. And it is precisely because of the different national conditions that the direct result is that the final research technology is completely different.
This can be described as a bonus.
And because of that. After Shen Yiyi returned to China, he had an important task, that is, to discuss the industrialization of this product with the students who participated in the research project.
Once the infrared sensor is manufactured, it is not directly facing the consumer. It has several future uses, either for military use, or for industrial use. If you want to directly face more consumers, you need to think about whether Shen Yiyi can tap out the new needs of ordinary consumers.
Among the patents, there is an item called the redevelopment of the patent. That is, around a core of patents. Imagine his more likely ways of being applied. The Japanese are quite adept at this. They often start from this and do something very scoundrel.
For example, a researcher has developed a new technology that spans the generations, which is enough to set off a technological revolution. But wait until the technology is patented. That inventor didn't have enough money either. There is no doubt that a royalty must be paid to the registrar for a patent. That's when the Japanese appeared. They might want to buy the patent at a low price, and apparently the inventor won't do it. So they went on to patent all the possible ways of application around this patent. This makes it impossible to apply this patent without the consent of the Japanese. In such cases. The patent owner's core patents cannot be sold. After a long time, the Japanese will be able to use this trick to force the other party to sell their own patents.
Shen Yiyi came from a later life, and when he was taking a patent knowledge course, he once heard his teacher talk about this strategy of the Japanese, and he was deeply impressed by it. Now that she had thought of this herself, she naturally couldn't afford to repeat a similar mistake. Therefore, she also wants to mobilize her classmates, and everyone will work together to think about the application environment of this technology in advance. So as to lay out in advance and not give Little Japan a chance to pit itself.
Shen Yiyi never thought of monopolizing this technology. The prospects for making money on this project are good. Shen Yiyi was convinced. But she also remembers that the technology came from the joint efforts of herself and her classmates. Even if everyone has granted themselves the right to use the technology, they can't take advantage of everyone. She remembered a well-known line: "What is the most important thing in the 21st century?" Talent! "My classmates are all super scholars, geniuses among geniuses. Losing the trust of classmates for such a small profit is definitely not worth the loss. What's more, Shen Yiyi is not short of this little money now. I was able to gain the trust of my classmates at no cost. How could Shen Yiyi miss such a thing?
Of course, there is also a development work of the independent CPU that she handed over to Wang Kai to urge, and she will not do it by herself. Because the bearer of this is Professor Zhang, Shen Yiyi's teacher. After all, he is still a student of other people. Shen Yiyi didn't want to be discredited as an impolite student who disrespected the teacher.
CPU chips in China in later generations were imported from the United States after the value of oil. In fact, the raw material of this thing is quartz sand, that is, the stone on the construction site. You can imagine how low the cost of this thing is. But the total value of China's annual imports from the U.S. is equal to the value of China's annual imports of foreign oil. This windfall profit can be imagined.
Of course, as a woman who was born as an engineer, Shen Yiyi couldn't say that the raw material of this thing was stones. After all, the energy consumption in the preparation process of silicon wafers is still very large. This piece is also a cost. The purity requirements for purification are also very high. In addition, the yield rate in the manufacture of chips is actually not high. All of this, of course, makes up the cost of the chip. However, these costs only account for a small part of the price of the chip.
Whether it is from the perspective of the country's technological independence, or from the benefits that entering this profiteering industry will bring to himself, Shen Yiyi will not let go of such a strategic industry. What's more, she herself studied electronics. Although the discipline really related to chips should be called microelectronics, the major category is still hanging under the electronics discipline. So this can be regarded as Shen Yiyi's business.
Now if you want to study any mechanical equipment, the equipment without automatic control has long been unsold. The manufacturing accuracy of the machinery requires a high level, and the automatic control system must be used. The automatic control system involves a series of other technologies, such as sensors, such as controllers, such as feed systems, such as computing systems. These things are inseparable from one thing, that is, the chip, or the CPU. And Shen Yiyi agreed to the drone that Xiao Yizhan and An Zhusheng wanted to get by themselves, which is also inseparable from this thing. And if this thing is imported from a foreign country, as soon as people know that you are military, it will be embargoed; Second, if someone leaves a back door on it, or something flies out, it will fly directly into someone's hands. You have to know what backdoor is in the chip you bought, and you don't even know it. Once this thing is encapsulated, it's a black box. In addition to the design and manufacturer knows, users can only get special test instruments to try one by one. Discovering a hidden back door is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. In Shen Yiyi's opinion, with this kind of kung fu, it is really better to spend some time developing one yourself. Anyway, in the past two years, I have prepared the tools needed to develop these things one by one.
If Tsinghua University and other teachers at Peking University knew what Shen Yiyi thought, they would definitely give her a six-word comment: Being rich is capricious! It's not that these experts and scholars don't want these things, but that the funds that can be used to purchase instruments and equipment every year are really limited under the situation of the country's financial difficulties. In addition, the country often has to consider the balance of all parties, and it is impossible to give a family too concentrated resources, so it is really not easy to prepare a set of equipment. Shen Yiyi, on the other hand, is because he has money and Wang Kai's almost unconditional support for Shen Yiyi's needs in this regard, so he can have such scientific research conditions that are close to luxury in the eyes of ordinary Chinese scholars.
