Chapter 43 Technology Adoption Life Cycle
When the young left home and the eldest returned, the hometown accent did not change and the sideburns declined.
When the children don't know each other, they smile and ask where the guests are from.
The closer he got to Chen Liucai's house, the more excited Zhou Yi became. Although he has only been away from home for a short time, he has deeply experienced the situation of the ancient poets returning to their hometowns, and they dare not go back if they want to go back.
I don't know how Cai Yan is, do you blame yourself for being away from home for a long time? Who will the little daughter look like, will she be called Dad? Zhou Yi didn't even go back to Shanyang's hometown this time, and went directly to Chen Liucai's house. Isn't it just that I can see my daughter as soon as possible?
Even Zhao Yun became excited: "Senior brother, what kind of gift do you say I should prepare for my niece, how about I make a gun for her myself?" When I was a child, my eldest brother always gave me a spear as a gift. Or a sword. ”
It seems that you still have to go through that, but if you really give this as a gift, I will definitely burn it and give you a good beating.
"Zhao boy, I didn't see you give these precious gifts to your little friend? I still sent it, but I didn't ask for it. Zhou Cang answered next to him, and now Zhou Cang was fully aware of what happened on the ship that day, and he was very envious of what happened to Zhao Yun. It would be nice if I hadn't gone into the cabin to rest one day, wouldn't it be nice to see Zhao Yun's embarrassment? What kind of mentality is this, Zhou Cang.
"Who said I didn't send it, I gave Wanmei a small wooden sword, Wanmei likes it very much." Zhao Yun said ostentatiously.
Oh, this is Zhou Yi and Zhou Cang's turn to be speechless.
Could it be that Xiao Qiao's sister also has a tendency to force?
The moment he saw his daughter, Zhou Yi felt his blood boiling. Two lives, for the first time, have their own offspring. asked his daughter to call her father with confidence, but Zhou Yi thought too much, her daughter was more than four months old, and no matter how early she was, she couldn't speak. After a while, his daughter cried, so he had to hand over the child to Cai Yan.
Zhao Yun didn't dare to really give a sword as a gift, but followed the local customs and Zhou Cang gave a toy alone.
The small farewell is better than the newlywed, and the big farewell is deeper. Zhou Yi and Cai Yan's lovesickness for more than a year was finally released on this day.
Early the next morning, before Zhou Yi got up, Cai Yong came. This made Zhou Yi and Cai Yan so embarrassed, and the father-in-law was really good, if you can't wait for noon to talk about anything, you can't understand the mood of young people.
"Father-in-law, what's the matter with coming here so early in the morning?" disturbs other people's good dreams, and also expects Zhou Yi to have a good face.
"Early in the morning? It's already noon, okay. I thought you would come to me this morning, but I didn't come to the left and right, and I didn't see my father-in-law in my eyes. Since I can't wait for you, I have to come here myself. "Cai Yong is also full of anger, he came back yesterday, and he didn't say hello, I still have something to do with you.
"It's noon?" Maybe he was too tired last night, Zhou Yi glanced at Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang, who were smiling cheaply on the side. "Why don't you wake me up?"
Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang looked confused, what do we do. We're empathetic and let you rest more.
"Virtuous son-in-law, I have something to look for you. Didn't you get that engraving print before you left? I thought that everyone would accept this soon. But I'm slowly discovering that it's not that simple, and many families are reluctant to use this technology. Some Maisons even openly advertised that engraving printing would destroy the foundation of the Maison. Cai Yong looked very anxious.
"Father-in-law, do you want the book you printed now?" Zhou Yi heard it and knew what was going on. The appearance of the book should have touched the interests of some people, and these people and Cai Yong are all members of the family, so they protested to Cai Yong. In modern entrepreneurial parlance, it is to keep an eye on competitors and not on customer needs. And what we have to do is to keep an eye on the customer, to better meet the needs of the customer, as for the rumored competitors or stay aside.
After many years of cultivation in the commercial society, I still have the acumen to play this point.
"Books are constantly being used, but the production is still too small, and the supply is in short supply. But I'm afraid that the family will unite against it, what should we do. Nowadays, the people who read are concentrated in the family. Cai Yong replied.
"Father-in-law, don't worry. This situation is normal, and the appearance of books will definitely impact the entire bamboo slip industry. It doesn't matter if those people don't listen to their opinions, there is a hostile relationship of interests between us, and they will slander us no matter what we do. What we want to do is to keep an eye on the world's readers, as long as there are any readers, no family can stop them. However, there are also several categories of readers:
The first type is naturally curious about new things, and is willing to try anything that is strange. There are very few such people, about 2 or 3 out of 100 people. As soon as our books came out, they would buy them back and try them out, and they were very curious. In fact, we can find these people and involve these people in perfecting our engraving techniques and books, and they will be very willing. These are the kind of people who are born to innovate and can work with these people.
The second group of people are early adopters. These people are visionaries who can see the advantages of books and tolerate the shortcomings of books. There will be about 13 to 14 people out of 100 people like this, and this kind of person is also very rare, and they are opinion leaders, and we need to be recognized by this group of people. Only when these people are recognized, it is possible to recommend them to the people around them, so as to reach a wider range of readers. Speaking of this, Zhou Yi paused and looked at Cai Yong.
Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang heard it in a fog, but Cai Yong understood a little and couldn't stop nodding.
It seems that a high-level intellectual is a high-level intellectual, with a super understanding, so he continued. I'm afraid that this set is not clear, and Zhou Yi still wants to say it in another way.
"The third group of people is the early masses. These are pragmatists who care about whether I can use it or not, and don't care about technology. It is not enough for us to be recognized by the second group of people, and we also need to be recognized by the third group of people to be considered an initial success. We have to prove that books are more stable and reliable than bamboo slips before they can use them. There are probably more than 30 of the 100 people in this category. Otherwise, we would have to collect our own books.
The fourth group of people is the late masses, and this type of people is conservatives. This type of person is naturally risk-averse and always likes to wait. It's that there are a lot of people around me who have books, and they still say, wait a minute, let's talk about it in a few years. There are more than 30 out of 100 such people.
There is also a group of skeptics who are hostile to new things and only like what is already familiar. Maybe when everyone is using books, they are still using books. We don't need to care about such people, they have outdated ideas, they refuse to accept new things, and they won't use our books for a short time. There are only a dozen such people out of 100 people.
Our engraving printing books are a new technology, but also a new thing, and everyone accepts it and adapts to it. This is also a cycle that takes a certain amount of time to complete. So we don't have to worry, father-in-law. Any kind of nascent technology will go through this process.
Our book is probably in the early adopter stage, and there is still a long way to go. But it doesn't matter, books are the trend of text development, and my father-in-law should be well aware of this, so we don't have to worry. Zhou Yi said confidently.
Can you not be confident, these are all proven theories. However, Zhou Yi still did not say that not every new technology will go through these five processes. There is yet another well of death between the early opinion leaders and the early masses, and only by crossing this stage can interesting technologies be turned into useful products that the masses like. However, books have been verified for thousands of years, and this well of death does not exist. Yes, you can come over with a light pick.
"It turns out that this is the case, and when my son-in-law said this, my heart is much brighter." Cai Yong let out a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, just understand.
"But, son-in-law, where do we find these people, especially those in the first and second stages?" Cai Yong is really tireless in his quest for knowledge.
"This, my father-in-law can take advantage of who has bought our books now, and look for them one by one, and I will definitely be able to find them with a little effort. If it doesn't work, just post a notice and ask for a collaborator to see if anyone comes. "Zhou Yi didn't have a very good way to find these people.
"Father, you've been talking for an hour, it's time for lunch." While everyone was thinking, Cai Yan came in and beckoned everyone to eat.
It's still comfortable at home, if it's in the Taishou Mansion, who cares if you eat or not, you only go to eat when you're hungry.
Cai Yong is full of confidence to be busy with engraving and printing books, and he is one step closer to the goal of printing all his books.
After quieting down, Zhou Yi found out that Xiaoxi was not there, and he always felt that something was missing, and he was a lot quieter, and now he finally knows. When I asked, I found out that something happened to the mansion left behind in Luoyang, and Xiaoxi went to deal with it. Originally, I wanted to let Xiao Xi, the little pepper, teach Zhao Yunna a lesson. Next time.
Zhou Yi lived a happy life again. It would be nice if the story ended here, but is it possible?
People in this era have a huge sense of crisis, and Liu Hong, who is the Emperor of Han Ling, is no exception. The turmoil in various places and the division of the family made Liu Hong in a deep political crisis.
In order to satisfy Liu Hong's sense of security, Liu Hong set up the Xiyuan Army, claiming to be the "Supreme General" and commanding the eighth captain. Historically known as the Eighth Captain of the West Garden:
Captain of the Army, Little Yellow Door Shoshuo,
Lieutenant of the Chinese Army, General Yuan Shao,
Lieutenant of the Lower Military Academy, Captain Bao Hong,
Lieutenant of the Military Academy, Cao Cao,
Lieutenant Zuo, Guan Yu,
Lieutenant of the Right Lieutenant of the Auxiliary Army, Feng Fang,
Captain Zuo, Counselor Xia Mu,
Right lieutenant, Chun Yuqiong.
That's right, the assistant left military captain is Guan Yu. When Zhou Yi saw the report, he also thought that he had read it wrong, how could this be?
It should be that when Emperor Han Ling was choosing people, he remembered that Guan Yu's super force could give Liu Hong enough security, so he added Guan Yu to it. When the Yellow Turban Army besieged Luoyang City, Guan Yu descended from heaven like a divine soldier and beheaded five generals in a row, which deeply shocked Liu Hong.
Guan Yu is really lucky, Zhou Yi is also happy for Guan Yu, Guan Yu's fate can be regarded as a small change by Zhou Yi.
