At the insistence of Ni Annan, the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences did not copy Zhao Ye's Hanka, but the idea of developing Hanka was clearer, which led to a significant increase in the development progress of the project.

The Institute of Computing Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences may soon enter the Hanka market, but these are all expected by Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye has the means to compete with the other party in the market.

If you want to say what advantage the other party has, it is probably the identity of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

But it doesn't matter, Zhao Ye doesn't have to monopolize the Hanka market, and he can't monopolize it at all, as long as he can share a piece of soup in it.

Hanka is just Zhao Ye's first pot of gold.

If he wants to really rise, he has to look at his next development project, which is the Chinese word processor, also known as the Chinese typewriter.

In the previous life, there are data to prove that from the end of 1988 to the beginning of 1989, Science and Technology Daily ranked the national electronics industry, and in the sales ranking, Sitong Company, which made word processing machines, ranked first with 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Lenovo only had 80 million sales at that time. At that time, 70% of the tax revenue of Zhongguancun Electronic Street was contributed by Sitong. Sitong is known as the first IT company in Zhongguancun, and it is indeed well deserved.

Of course, Sitong Group misjudged the development of the personal computer market, just like the Wang An Company in the United States, thinking that word processors can continue to be popular, and the results can be imagined.

Both of them make word processors, Wang An Computer Company promoted Wang An to the richest man in China, and Sitong became the first IT company in Zhongguancun.

Fate is impermanent, embarrassing!

Zhao Ye sat in his office, holding his chin in his hand, thinking about the development plan of the Chinese typewriter.

The earliest electronic printers were computer-driven ASCII character printers, which could only print fixed-size Western letters and numbers, not graphics and Chinese characters. Later, there was a printer with 24 square millimeters of print head condensed 2 rows of 12 rows of firing pins, the computer drove the 24 firing pins to the ribbon, you can print any graphics, and naturally you can use these 24 points, up and down, left and right to combine all the Chinese characters, and the font size can also be changed, so the printer of this technology is called a 24 dot matrix printer.

It is based on 24-dot matrix printing technology that the Chinese typewriter can be developed.

For the processor chip of the Chinese typewriter, Zhao Ye still chose to use the Z80 microprocessor. The Z80 is not only inexpensive, but also powerful. From small household appliances, Nintendo's FC red and white game consoles, to industrial collection systems, automatic control devices, motors and transmissions, etc., there are a large number of uses and applications. Various large and medium-sized colleges and universities have also opened courses on Z80 microprocessors, and the research and application of Z80 microprocessors and Z80 single board computers have a broad foundation in China.

Zhao Ye's plan is to develop a Chinese typewriter that can display 4 lines on the LCD screen, and can not only print Chinese characters on A4 white paper, but also print A3 format wax paper for easy mimeographing.

Zhao Ye believes that the birth of this Chinese typewriter will definitely allow Chinese word processing to bid farewell to the era of lead printing and hand-engraved wax paper, and step into the epoch-making of electronic information processing!!

……

In the next few days, Zhao Ye was doing product development plans while doing some research in the market.

His original plan was to buy it directly if there was the hardware he needed on the market, which would speed up the development of Chinese typewriters.

But soon Zhao Ye gave up this plan.

Because he found that most of the hardware needs to be imported from RB, but the hardware of RB people is too expensive, and in the end, even if it is made by Chinese typewriters, they do not earn much, but let RB people make a lot of money.

Therefore, Zhao Ye decided to develop a full set of word processors by himself, and the software and hardware were all made by himself, so as to completely get rid of the technical control of the RB people.

"After Hanka became famous, I directly recruited talents in the "Computer World" newspaper, and all the talents recruited directly joined the Chinese typewriter project!" Zhao Ye muttered.

He could indeed develop a Chinese typewriter by himself, but it took a long time.

After all, individual strength is not as strong as team strength.

……

At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Ye returned to the company from outside, and as soon as he walked in the door, he heard Fu Xiaoyue say, "Boss, you are finally back!" Just now, Mr. Zhou Zi'an, the editor-in-chief of "Computer World", called to look for you, but you are not here, and I have no way to contact you, so I can only wait for you to come back. Editor-in-chief Zhou said, when you come back, call him back immediately! ”

"Okay!"

Zhao Ye walked to Fu Xiaoyue's desk, flipped through the phone book, found the phone number of Zhou Zi'an's office, and dialed it.

The call was quickly connected.

"Editor-in-Chief Zhou, hello, I'm Zhao Ye of Imagination Technology Company. I'm sorry, I wasn't in the company when you called me before, do you have anything important to ask me for? ”

"Boss Zhao, according to our newspaper's analysis of readers' feedback, I think it's time to publish an advertisement for "Imagination Hanka", if it takes too long, the popularity will decrease." Zhou Zi'an suggested.

"Well, tomorrow it will be in the newspaper: 'Imagine-Hanka, an epoch-making breakthrough!! When Zhao Ye heard this, he nodded and replied.

This sentence is reminiscent of the sentence between "human beings have lost their imagination, what will happen in the future".

Imagine means "imagination", and the quality of people who can afford computers in this era is relatively high, and most of them can understand English.

Just imagine, the computer at this time does not support Chinese, there are no computer games to play, if you can't understand English, then there is basically no need to buy a computer.

Zhao Ye originally planned to make a month's suspense first, but there is no need to be stubborn and rigid, doing business is to be flexible and make timely adjustments according to the actual situation.

"This sentence will also be published on the whole page, first for a week, and then put a picture of Imagine-Hanka, and start to detail the functions of Hanka!"

At the moment, few people know about Hanka.

Therefore, the phrase "Imagine-Hanka, an epoch-making breakthrough" is a suspense, but it continues the previous sentence to let people know that Imagine-Hanka is a product, and then arouse the strong curiosity of readers.

One week is Zhao Ye's estimated fermentation time, and then Hanka should have exploded in the computer circle.

When Zhou Zi'an heard this, he was amazed by Zhao Ye's arrangement, and immediately agreed, and then discussed some details, such as the address of Imagination Technology Company can also be written in the newspaper in this new advertisement, so that some people can come to consult and discuss cooperation.

After ending the conversation, Zhao Ye frowned slightly, he would often go out, if the company had something important but couldn't contact him, it would be more troublesome.

"Motorola's mobile phone is often mentioned in Hong Kong film and television dramas...... At this time, it seems that it has not yet entered the Chinese market, and it will not be until 1987. Right now, the BB machine should enter the Chinese market, presumably there is a sale of this thing in Zhongguancun, I will buy one now, so as not to contact me if something happens. ”

Zhao Ye greeted Fu Xiaoyue, saying that he had something to do outside, and left the company again.

Walking on the road, Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh, there are business opportunities everywhere in this era, such as the BB machine he wants to buy now, but anyone who invests in building a factory to produce BB machine at this time can make a lot of money......
