A month later, Imagination moved into a new office building.

At this time, the sales of Hanka are not as fierce as some time ago, the peak period has passed, and the sales volume is gradually stabilizing.

The popularity of Hanka gradually decreases as time passes.

However, Imagination Technology has made a lot of money.

Up to now, sales have exceeded 18 million yuan, and annual sales are estimated to be between 40 million and 50 million, that is, more than 10,000 Han cards have been sold, which is not much.

Zhao Ye gave Wang Anshi a task, that is, to open the flagship store of Imagination Technology Company in the capital, and then summarize the experience and promote it to the whole country.

Without middlemen making the difference, the company can earn more.

Of course, in cities where there are no flagship stores, we will still cooperate with other merchants.

In terms of market affairs, Zhao Ye was handed over to Wang Anshi to be responsible, and he became the shopkeeper, and the name of "the god of Sitong Company's operation" was not blown. In the traditional field of marketing, Wang Anshi does have extraordinary abilities.

When Zhao Ye started his business, e-commerce was emerging, and online was more important than offline, so Zhao Ye didn't know much about the traditional market.

……

The new office building has three floors, so Zhao Ye arranged that the first floor is the Hanka department, the second floor is the Chinese electronic typewriter department, and the third floor is the BB machine department.

The office space is large, and each floor looks empty.

Waste is indeed a bit of a waste, but Zhao Ye is too lazy to move again.

Once the Chinese electronic typewriter and BB machine are successfully developed, then it will be necessary to recruit people again.

At this time, there is a research room on the second floor.

A group of people were discussing something around a table with a lot of manuscript paper scattered around the table.

"The screen of the typewriter uses a Sharp 640×400 LCD, and the LCD with a background light can display one page of A4 paper, which is equivalent to the VGA display mode, and what you see is what you get, so there will be no additional CRT display! Not only is it beautiful and stylish, but it's also cheaper! ”

"RB people's printers use soft interrupts in order to save costs, but the soft interrupt response is too slow, the user experience is not good, the boss suggested that we use hard interrupts, although this will increase the cost of the interrupt chip by a few dollars, but the user experience is higher!"

"The motherboard designed by the boss himself is worth mentioning, not only is it compatible with IBM-PCs, but it can also be connected to an external modern modem to transfer files over a telephone line. In addition, dual floppy disk drive files are also compatible with PCs, with a built-in specially designed dual-port RAM memory for higher printout speeds than parallel interface transfers. What's more, the word processing software WPS is also compatible with WordStar! It's so powerful! ”

Everyone praised it.

As a stand-alone printer device, the Chinese typewriter requires its own word processing software.

In the previous life, Qiu Bojun developed WPS based on the word processing software of Sitong Company.

In this life, Zhao Ye directly developed the more mature word processing software in the 90s and named it WPS.

Of course, he is responsible for the software architecture design, which is like designing the framework of a house in reality, and leaving the specific content to others to build, who were also commonly known as "code farmers" in their previous lives.

Qiu Bojun is now an out-and-out "code farmer", responsible for writing certain functional programs of WPS.

In addition, when Zhao Ye was developing Hanka, he wrote an input method, and when developing a Chinese electronic typewriter, he could use it.

Therefore, the development progress of Chinese typewriters is much faster than everyone expected.

In fact, when it comes to specific R&D content, Zhao Ye doesn't do much, he mainly points out the direction of R&D to everyone, and then when everyone encounters technical difficulties that are difficult to break through, he will solve them.

No, it's only been a month, and the overall development progress has exceeded halfway.

Third floor.

The development difficulty of the BB machine is actually simpler than that of the Chinese electronic typewriter, which is mainly composed of superheterodyne receiver, decoder, control and display.

In fact, as long as you know the principle, many electronic engineers with a little more technical skills can develop a BB machine.

In the early 90s, the BB machine was frantically copied by domestic factories, snatching a large share of the market share from Motorola.

Of course, the quality of the copycat brand BB machine is serious.

The development of BB machine by Imagination Technology Company is naturally in line with the attitude of being responsible and serious to consumers, and to develop a technologically advanced and mature product.

That's a little bit harder.

Hanxian BB machine doesn't have to think about it for the time being, the hardware is not supported, you have to do it, it's not that you can't do it, but the size of the BB machine will skyrocket, others are small and exquisite, you are bloated, and the price is expensive, who buys?

Therefore, at present, only digital BB machines can be developed.

Motorola will not launch its digital BB machine until the end of this year, and it is entirely possible that Imagination Technology will be the first to launch its own products on the market.

……

Zhao Ye's office is also located on the 3rd floor, and if you are the boss, you have to be condescending.

Wang Anshi chatted with Zhao Ye in the office at this time.

Wang Anshi suggested: "Boss, you can't hand over the OEM business to the 18th Kyoto Radio Factory, which is equivalent to sharing a part of the profits for nothing." At the beginning, the company was start-up and the funds were insufficient, so it was possible to let the 18th factory of Kyoto Wireless OEM, but now we have tens of millions of cash flow, and we can invest in building the factory by ourselves. Factory direct sales, lower cost, our products will also be more competitive! ”

After a pause, Wang Anshi said with a little concern: "I heard that the Hanka development team led by Ni Annan of the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a huge breakthrough recently, and I think it is about to launch the Hanka, and at that time, we will face severe competition, after all, the identity of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is different, and we are a private enterprise......"

Hearing this, Zhao Ye nodded: "What you said makes sense, I used to have this idea, but the key is that we can't buy chips ourselves." ”

Wang Anshi's expression was serious and he frowned slightly: "I have also thought about this problem, and the best way is for us to open a branch in Hong Kong, purchase chips by ourselves, and then ship them to China!" ”

"This method is really good, but there is still a problem, if our branch does not have foreign exchange, it still can't purchase things." Zhao Ye nodded first, then shook his head, and immediately thought about whether Hanka, Chinese typewriters, and BB machines could open up the market in Hong Kong???

Of course, Chinese typewriters can also print English, and Hong Kong, treasure islands and Southeast Asia also need a high-quality and inexpensive typewriter.

Jingle Bell Jingle Bell ......

Just then, the office phone rang.

Zhao Ye picked up the phone and asked what was the matter.

"Boss, there is a big businessman from Hong Kong below, and he said that he wants to cooperate with our imagination technology company!"

Hong Kong businessmen looking for us to cooperate?

Zhao Ye was a little surprised.

"Okay, I see, you can bring him to my office!"
