In the process of finding suppliers, suppliers are required to provide samples first, and the quality of the samples will meet the requirements before they will officially enter the access list.

In order to avoid being coerced by a single supplier, the same product will generally find multiple suppliers.

After walking around the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions, Cao Yongluo couldn't find a manufacturer that could make keycaps that met their requirements.

For a startup that is committed to building a high-end brand, it is impossible to accept the slightest flaw.

After the company of high-end brands has reached a certain stage of development, it can be presumptuous, and users will brainwash themselves anyway.

But in the beginning, such a thing cannot be tolerated.

The keycaps produced by local manufacturers in China cannot meet their requirements in terms of texture.

Because sublimation is simply at a high temperature, generally 400 degrees Fahrenheit, heating the sublimation ink, so that the ink changes from liquid to gas and then enters the gap of the printed item.

Once the item is removed from the ink, the pores cool and close, leaving the ink and image on the surface of the item.

Sublimation technology is applied to plastics, and high temperatures can cause the plastic to melt or deform.

The keycaps made by Huaguo manufacturers either do not use sublimation technology, or use traditional printing, or use sublimation, which causes the surface pattern of the keycaps to be slightly distorted.

Completely unable to achieve the effect they wanted.

"Boss, I think we can consider neon and Koryo manufacturers, only they can meet our requirements.

According to my understanding, when sublimation is applied to plastics, it is best to add glass fibers to the plastic to strengthen it to avoid plastic deformation.

At present, even if domestic manufacturers can implement this technology, they will need time to upgrade and transform their production lines.

We can give them the opportunity to wait until they can make a product that satisfies us, and then put them in the supplier's catalog.

In order not to delay the progress of Mr. Zhou's side, it is best for us to communicate with the manufacturers of neon and Gaoli first. ”

Cao Yongluo found a white glove to set up a company called Luowei Technology, and then poached their vice president in charge of supply chain procurement from the Founder Group.

Cao Yongluo is only responsible for quality control and requirements, and the job of finding a supply chain company is fully entrusted to this vice president.

Cao Yongluo had psychological expectations for this matter, "Yes, let's go first, our progress needs to be accelerated, and Zhou Xin's side has been urging us recently."

We've signed the contract with Matrix Technologies, right, you know, we need to deliver 20,000 parts to them by October. ”

Zhou Xin's psychological price is $1,000, and he is already very satisfied that he can sell 20,000 sets at this price.

Even with his fame bonus, a keyboard at this price is still too expensive for this era.

Therefore, Matrix Technology only ordered 20,000 sets.

Even Seamus felt that 20,000 sets were more than 20,000 after learning about this number.

Matrix Technology is a new branch established by Wu Shiqiang in Huaguobang, and is currently mainly responsible for procurement.

Since China has not yet joined the WTO, the manufacturing industry of developed countries has not been transferred to China on a large scale, and a large number of technologies have not been transferred to China.

After Zhou Xin learned the news from Cao Yongluo, he could fully understand that at this stage, only sublimation caused the keycaps to be unable to be produced in Huaguo, which was beyond his expectations.

"No problem, Yongluo, you're in charge here, and I'll hold a product launch in October.

Until then, Americon needs to have at least 5,000 sets in stock. ”

After Riot Games went public, and before Matrix officially made its voice heard to the world, during this time, Zhou Xin began to spend more time at Berkeley.

Hu Zhengming's students have become accustomed to Zhou Xin's frequent disappearance.

Or they have long been accustomed to the fact that they and Zhou Xin are not from the same world.

"Senior brother, I haven't seen you for half a month, you still look so energetic, it seems that the pressure that the professor has put on you recently is not enough." After Zhou Xin walked into the laboratory, he saw Zhang Zhongbo teasing.

Because Zhang Zhongbo came to pick him up at San Francisco International Airport at that time, Zhou Xin and Zhang Zhongbo were more familiar with him.

There are very few opportunities for others to deal with Zhou Xin.

At present, there are no female students under Hu Zhengming's name, and if this is California in 20 years, it will definitely be criticized and publicly complained about.

Zhang Zhongbo pointed to his hair: "Senior brother, look at my hair, the hairline has been receding recently, and I will graduate next year, and the pressure of my graduation thesis is like a mountain on my head."

If the professor puts more pressure on me, I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. ”

Zhou Xin looked at the other party seriously: "Senior brother, the receding hairline proves that you are constantly advancing!"

That's a good thing.

Will you graduate next year? Congratulations, doctoral graduation is also a stage victory.

What do you plan to do after graduation? Do you want to come to work with me? I'm going to set up an R&D facility in Silicon Valley that specializes in R&D in the semiconductor and Internet fields, so I'm going to think about it. "Zhou Xin wants to poach people.

No matter what era the Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, it is still very valuable.

Because he knew that Zhang Zhongbo had been helping Hu Zhengming's Silue Semiconductor since he was enrolled as a doctor.

Strategy's semiconductor is engaged in EDA design software, and Huaguo is currently blank in this field.

If Hu Zhengming finds that Siluo Semiconductor cannot compete head-on with the head EDA software in the future, and plans to sell the company and does not sell it to him, Zhou Xin thinks that Zhang Zhongbo can preside over a new stove.

If it is sold to him, Zhou Xin can also arrange Zhang Zhongbo to enter.

Zhang Zhongbo said in a low voice: "According to the regulations, I will graduate next year, but I don't know if I can graduate next year as scheduled."

It depends on whether the results can be satisfactory to the professor, and if not, maybe it will have to be postponed for a year.

Yes, the graduation of the PhD is a stage victory, and the pressure of the PhD is simply increasing by leaps and bounds compared with the master's stage. ”

After listening to this, Zhou Xin said: "You have already calculated, and it will be postponed for one year at the latest, and I heard that another student of a Chinese professor will postpone his graduation for three years." ”

Zhang Zhongbo shook his head: "Then our professor is still more kind, so he won't do this kind of thing."

To put it bluntly, that person has been postponing for so many years, and he has a reason for teaching, and he himself has a reason.

I won't talk about the specific reason, you just said that I will help you work?

I have already communicated with Texas Instruments, and I will work there after graduation, and I appreciate your kindness, junior brother. ”

Zhou Xin asked: "Haven't you been working for the professor's Strategy?"

Didn't he let you stay? ”

Zhang Zhongbo reacted quickly: "You know that I help the professor, and you still ask me if I will come to help you work, you are digging the professor's corner!" ”

I went to the concert tonight, I didn't get home until 11 o'clock, I was too tired to adjust my schedule, I changed 2K today, and 4K will be more tomorrow morning!
