Chapter 224: Developing Black Technology
Shen Xiulan smiled reluctantly, turned her head to look at Li Yunhai who was chatting and laughing with people at the main table.
Li Yunfang suddenly thought of something, although she hadn't read her eldest brother's letters, but when Lin Zhi came to her house to play, she had told her that her eldest brother had a girlfriend when he was at school. Is it Shen Xiulan in front of you? I just don't know why they broke up?
After the banquet was dispersed, Li Yunhai arranged for someone to send his father and sister back to their hometown, and brought Shao Yuqing back by the way.
After seeing off the guests, Li Yunhai returned to his office at the Long Island Hotel to discuss a new research plan with Professor Ni.
Lin Zhi walked in and saw that they were talking about work, so he sat down next to him and listened.
Professor Ni suggested to Li Yunhai: "The research of our research institute should be combined with the development strategy of the group, and it should be positioned in the field of office equipment, especially computers. ”
In this regard, Li Yunhai thought deeply and said: "Professor Ni, I have the same idea as you, the future economic growth point of the world is in high and new technology. ”
Professor Ni is a person who has been abroad, and he has a deep understanding of the current situation of high-tech development abroad.
With our country lagging behind the West as a whole, what we have to do is to catch up.
The easiest way to do this is to learn from the long skills, also known as copying the Western technology tree.
What advanced technologies are there in the West that are worth learning? We carry it over, use it and make use of it to become our own scientific and technological achievements.
Most of the very successful Internet companies in later generations have been inspired by the existing technology trees in the West.
Alima went abroad in 1995 and saw eBay, which had just been established in the United States, and was deeply attracted by this novel and interesting online shopping model, and began to take the same direction of entrepreneurship after returning to China.
The original social software QICQ was also invented and created in imitation of ICQ, which was established in 1996 abroad.
Online group buying began in 1998, and the first group buying website was Mobshop, which was established in the United States. The second group buying website is Groupon, and there are similar websites in China since then.
Computers, networks, web portals, mobile phones, and other emerging technology products were first introduced to China from abroad.
In today's globalization, hundreds of countries and regions around the world, where there are emerging good industries, will be copied and developed by others immediately.
It's up to who can seize the opportunity first.
Many technologies and products are not necessarily bigger and stronger by inventors, but are carried forward after being learned and copied.
Just like the gunpowder invented in our country, we used it to make beautiful fireworks and firecrackers, but after foreigners learned it, they used it to make foreign guns and artillery.
Professor Ni has been abroad for several years, and is also engaged in microcomputer-related research, and he understands the most advanced technology abroad.
He knew that Li Yunhai had never been abroad, so he kept explaining the current world situation.
In the 80s, with the continuous breakthrough of new science and technology and the promotion and application of achievements in production development, countries around the world have realized the strategic significance of high-tech industries to the country as a whole. In particular, in the decade before 1982, there was an economic depression in the West, and GDP growth stagnated, and while traditional industries were sluggish, they were all sustained by high-tech industries growing at a rate of more than 15 percent per year.
In 1983, the United States announced the "Star Wars Project"; In 1984, Toyo enacted the "Basic Policy for the Promotion of Science and Technology"; In 1985, France and Western Europe established the "Eureka Plan", and the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe formulated the "Comprehensive Outline of Scientific and Technological Progress".
"Mr. Li," Professor Ni said, the more excited he became, "we should also formulate a corresponding scientific and technological development plan!" Develop our own computer industry! The most important of these is the chip and the system! ”
Why doesn't Li Yunhai know the importance of chips and systems?
Although he has never been abroad in his life, he also knows the future development trend.
"Professor Ni, your topic is too big, and the system and chip are not something that can be done overnight. We are just a business, how can we develop the entire computer technology? Of course, we can also study these topics you mentioned, but the top priority is that we need to accumulate the original funds, and without money, all this is just empty talk. So, I now have a more practical idea. ”
Li Yunhai knew that Professor Ni was a scientific research fanatic, and he could only guide the other party to follow his own scientific research ideas.
"I want to hear about it." Professor Ni may also realize that he is too anxious, and Li Yunhai is the leader of Sihai Group.
Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "Professor Ni, you have been abroad, you must know about inkjet printers, right?" ”
"Inkjet printers? I know! However, it is not as easy to use as a laser printer, and the speed is much slower. ”
"Yes, today's inkjet printers are indeed not as easy to use as laser printers, and they are not as popular as laser printers. Laser printers are all good, but there is a fatal drawback. ”
"Oh? What are the drawbacks? ”
"Expensive! The price is expensive, the consumables are expensive! Toner cartridges and toner are very expensive, especially color printing, not to mention ordinary families, even ordinary enterprises can hardly afford it. Inkjet printers, on the other hand, can reduce printing costs. ”
"You mean to say that inkjet printers will have a market in the future?"
"There must be a market for goods that are in demand. Now that private enterprises and private economies have developed, a large number of small and micro economies also have a demand for printing and copying. If you want to let the printer really fly into the homes of ordinary people, it is definitely not possible to rely on laser printers, the price is expensive, the consumables are sky-high, and small and micro enterprises cannot afford it. If we can invent an inkjet printer with reasonable price and cheap consumables, we can definitely seize most of the low-end market. ”
Laser printers and laser copiers are indeed synonymous with high prices, and it is difficult for individuals to afford them.
Li Yunhai wants to develop a new inkjet printer, which is indeed a good scientific research direction.
Printers and computers, whether it is the working principle or the operating mechanism, can not be played. It can even be said that it is not an industry at all.
If you are related by blood, printers and cameras, projectors or scanners, such devices are more closely related.
Printers are office automation equipment, which belongs to the OA industry, printers are almost all mechanical parts, and computers basically have no mechanical parts. Printer failures are often "mechanical failures" or "optical failures", and motherboards and systems rarely fail.
Take a laser printer, for example: it includes an optical component, a developing component, an imaging component, as well as a fusing component and a scanner component.
Inkjet printing technology was proposed as early as 1960, but 16 years later, in 1976, the first commercial inkjet printer was born at IBM. The original IBM4640 was developed by Professor Hertz and his colleagues at the Lutheran Institute of Technology in Sweden in Europe, and called it continuous inkjet technology.
The so-called continuous inkjet is to generate ink droplets in a continuous manner, regardless of whether it is printed or non-printed, and then the non-printed ink droplets are recovered or dispersed. However, this technique prints ink dots onto paper almost in the form of drops, and the difference in effect is imaginable, so it has no practical value in reality.
One day in July 1977, Ichiro Endo, a member of the 22nd Laboratory of Canon's Institute of Product Technology in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, was conducting experiments in the laboratory when he accidentally placed a heated soldering iron on the attachment of the injection needle, and ink quickly flew out of the injection needle. Inspired by this, Canon invented bubble inkjet technology two years later.
Li Yunhai knows that these are not the ultimate technologies in inkjet printing.
"Micro piezoelectric" printing technology is the mainstream printing technology in the future!
Li Yunhai asked Professor Ni to lead the scientific research institute to develop this technology.
"Professor Ni, the inkjet printers on the market now have their own shortcomings, and they can't achieve color inkjet printing or large-scale inkjet printing. Improving inkjet printing technology to achieve color inkjet printing and large-scale inkjet printing is the direction we need to study. ”
Li Yunhai wants to achieve a real reform of the printing industry and change the world pattern of the global printing industry!
He has mastered the right to speak in CCA, if he grasps the patent rights of inkjet printers in the future, then China's printers can occupy a place in the world!
Professor Ni pondered for a long time and said, "Inkjet printers have just been launched, and there is indeed room for development. But how do we develop? There has to be a direction of research. ”
Li Yunhai just knew the direction of the future, and pointed out the bright road with a smile: "Micro piezoelectricity!" ”
The piezoelectric element has the characteristics of stretching or shrinking deformation under the action of voltage change, and the voltage is used to control the deformation of the piezoelectric element and extrude the ink droplets. Micro piezoelectric printing technology has the advantages of high printing quality, good durability, energy saving and environmental protection, and low comprehensive cost.
Li Yunhai dealt with these printing equipment in his previous life, often repaired such products, and was very familiar with these products.
He also knew the structure of the micropiezoelectric nozzle well.
In the traditional printer with thermal foam printing technology, the ink is heated, the water is partially evaporated, and the nozzle will be settled, which eventually leads to the nozzle being blocked and unusable.
The micro-piezoelectric printing technology adopts the physical propulsion method, which effectively alleviates the probability of this problem.
This is real black technology!
Whoever masters this technology can also become a dark horse in the printer industry!
A desktop micro-piezo printhead containing hundreds or thousands of nozzles. The engineering-grade large-format printers and digital printing machines contain multiple micro-piezoelectric chips, and the number of nozzles reaches the thousands level. The micro-piezoelectric ceramics at the back of the nozzle are extremely small and delicate, and their production requires precision manufacturing, and the inkjet control of piezoelectric ceramics also requires precision integrated circuits.
Therefore, even in later generations, there are only a handful of brand manufacturers who have mastered micro-piezoelectric inkjet technology.
In order to grasp the right to speak in printing technology, Li Yunhai did not hesitate to invest heavily in the development of micro-piezoelectric printing chips.
"Professor Ni, micro-piezoelectric printing chips are not complicated, I have a general idea, but I don't know how to implement it."
He has an idea, a blueprint, and only needs to be handed over to professionals to develop.
Li Yunhai took a notebook and turned one of the pages.
There is a picture drawn on the paper.
"This is the construction diagram of the micro-piezoelectric printing chip." Li Yunhai said calmly, "This is my general idea. Do you see if you can do it? ”
Professor Ni took the notebook with a solemn face and studied the picture carefully.
An unusual brilliance flashed on his face, and he asked, "Mr. Li, how did you come up with this?" ”
Li Yunhai laughed and said, "It's a fool's guess." I like to disassemble all kinds of appliances and figure out their structure when I'm fine. I have disassembled and studied several existing inkjet printers on the market, and found that the shortcomings are very obvious, so I thought of this design. ”
Professor Ni lifted his glasses and said with admiration: "Ouch, Mr. Li, you are definitely a genius!" If we can really succeed in developing it, then in the field of printers, we can lead other countries! ”
"Far ahead!"
"Yes, definitely far ahead."
"Professor Ni, the idea I put forward can definitely be realized, the big question is, do we have the ability to make this kind of precision chip?"
Professor Ni thought for a while and said: "This is not difficult, although it is a precision chip, our domestic technology can also be manufactured." Even if some machine parts need to be imported, they can be purchased from abroad. ”
Li Yunhai said: "Great! Professor Ni, I will invest 10 million yuan first, please lead the scientific research team and do your best to develop micro-piezoelectric printing chips. ”
Professor Ni is a scientific research maniac, when he used to work in Canada, he saved money and used the saved money to buy a lot of components back to China, and he used these components to successfully develop Hanka technology.
Last time, in order to develop the Sihai computer typewriter, Li Yunhai gave Professor Ni 1 million yuan.
Professor Ni spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on successful research, and the rest of the money was used to buy advanced foreign components.
This is a person who is obsessed with scientific research and technology, and his life and mind only have scientific research.
Without Li Yunhai's intervention, Professor Ni would still be living in a rented house decades later.
To some extent, there is really only a thin line between a genius and a madman.
Professor Ni and Peng are both obsessed with something. Professor Ni became a genius, and Peng became a madman.
Li Yunhai solved Professor Ni's worries and provided funds to point out the direction of research, so that Professor Ni could concentrate on scientific research.
The two talked for an entire afternoon discussing micro-piezoelectric printing technology.
After Professor Ni left, Lin Zhi smiled and said, "You guys can really talk!" You're with me, and I've never seen you have so much to say. ”
Li Yunhai took a sip of tea and said, "Professor Ni and I are indeed late when we meet!" Hmm, we're off work, right? ”
"I've been waiting for you! My mom has a birthday today, and we'll go there for dinner in the evening. ”
"Oh, didn't you say it earlier, hurry up, I still have to buy a cake for my aunt, the pastry shop doesn't know if it's off work?"
"I've ordered a decorated cake with Sullivan. Just wait and get it. ”
"Or are you thoughtful. Sullivan's cake was delicious, and they even made a birthday cake for Grandpa Mao. ”
After getting off work, the two went to Sullivan's pastry shop to get a birthday cake and bought some gifts, and then went to Lin's house.
Today happens to be Sunday, Lin Zhenbang and Tang Yuxia are at home, and Lin Zhi's grandparents and grandparents have come over.
Lin Xiaofeng and Amy had already come over and were helping Tang Yuxia cook together.
"Just waiting for the two of you!" Grandpa Lin said with a smile, "Li Yunhai, you set up a company today, this is a great joy!" Grandpa is old and has inconvenient legs and feet, so he didn't go to Daohe, please forgive me. I prepared a red envelope to ask for good luck. ”
Li Yunhai walked up to Grandpa Lin, bent down and smiled: "Grandpa, don't be so polite. ”
Grandpa Lin took out a red envelope and put it in his hand: "I know that you are not short of money, so I mean it." Take it. ”
Li Yunhai took it, thanked his grandfather, and said, "I'll play chess with my grandfather, right?" ”
Grandpa Lin laughed and said, "I'm just waiting for you to play chess." Xiao Zhi, take out the military chess and put it on the table. ”
Lin Zhi agreed, took out the military chess pieces from the high and low cabinets, helped them set them up, and then went into the kitchen to help.
Amy sat down curiously and watched them play chess.
Li Yunhai saw that she was interested, so he taught her while playing chess.
The system of military chess is easy to understand, and the rules are easy to learn.
Amy watched them play a game of chess and said, "I'll play the next game too." ”
Grandpa Lin gave up his seat: "Come, Amy, you come down." ”
Amy sat opposite Li Yunhai, and the two of them faced each other.
She just learned, so she was naturally defeated by Li Yunhai.
"Fun! Next set. Amy laughed, "I haven't played this chess piece in Italy." I play Monopoly and Ludo chess. ”
Lin Xiaofeng and Lin Zhi came out with the food and said don't go down, eat first.
Li Yunhai took out a decorated cake and lit a candle.
Everyone sat around the dining table and sang happy birthday songs together, wishing Tang Yuxia a happy birthday.
Tang Yuxia made a wish, blew out the candles, and said with a smile: "The first time I ate cake, it was my 10th birthday, and my dad also bought Sullivan's cake." At that time, the cake was expensive, and it cost my dad more than half of his savings. Dad, isn't it? ”
Grandpa Lin Zhi didn't look old, he was in good spirits, and said with a smile: "Do you remember?" You were young, and I thought you wouldn't remember! ”
Tang Yuxia looked at her parents and said, "My biggest wish is that you can be by my side every year on my birthday." ”
Li Yunhai suddenly thought that his mother was about to celebrate her birthday! My mother hadn't tasted the cake yet, so when it was her birthday, she bought one to take home.
After eating, everyone sat and chatted for a while, played a few more games of chess, and did not disperse until nine o'clock.
Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi returned home.
Guo Wanhua and Shi Wenyin haven't slept yet, sitting on the sofa watching TV, the two don't know what program they watched, they are very close, and they have the meaning of huddling together to keep warm.
As soon as the door rang, Shi Wenyin shouted: "You guys are back!" We watched a ghost movie, and it was scary! ”
Li Yunhai changed his shoes and sat down beside Guo Wanhua.
Guo Wanhua sat with her legs pressed on the sofa, and when she saw him coming, she put her feet down.
Her feet swept past Li Yunhai and touched Li Yunhai's hand.
Li Yunhai touched her jade feet in stockings, only to feel that they were abnormally soft, and couldn't help but glance at her.
Guo Wanhua pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll go back to Huacheng tomorrow, do you have time to accompany me?" ”
Li Yunhai groaned: "Sister Guo, why don't you wait a few more days?" I'll arrange things here, and then I'll go to Huacheng with you? Huacheng wants to set up a branch, to open a Sihai store and a Sihai computer school, and we strive to complete the formation work before the year. ”
Guo Wanhua said: "I think so too, if you don't hurry up, it's going to be the New Year." ”
Lin Zhi cut some fruit and brought it over, and asked, "Yunhai, will I go with you?" ”
She is now the HR manager of Sihai Group, and she is very free and convenient wherever she goes, and she does not need to ask anyone for leave.
Li Yunhai said: "You can go if you want to!" Just in charge of recruitment. ”
Guo Wanhua said with a smile: "I know that you two can't leave Meng anyway, and Meng can't leave Jiao." The real one is like glue, and it is difficult to separate. ”
Lin Zhi smiled shyly: "Sister Guo, don't make fun of me." ”
Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and went upstairs to rest.
Lin Zhi half lay on the head of the bed and said: "Yunhai, the employees of the group, now live in the factory dormitory area, which is too far away from the Long Island Hotel, and it is very inconvenient for them to commute to work. And so many managers, who don't even have a decent house, they also have a lot of complaints. They all heard about the fact that you bought a building for the research institute as a dormitory, saying that it was too unfair, maybe the scientific research personnel are all golden bumps, and the administrative staff are straw clay people? ”
Li Yunhai put down the book in his hand and said, "I also thought of this, but I was too busy to think about it so thoroughly. ”
Lin Zhi smiled: "I see that you are not too busy, you just treat it differently." When you buy a house for a researcher, why don't you buy another one? Wouldn't it be a convenient thing to do? ”
Li Yunhai smiled dumbly and said, "Okay, it's my mistake." I'm going to buy another one tomorrow to use as a dormitory for the group's employees. ”
Lin Zhi thought of something: "Did Shen Xiulan move into a new house today?" ”
"I don't know, I didn't ask her." Li Yunhai also just thought of this and said, "I gave her the key." I also took her to recognize the door. ”
"Gee, she probably moved in, right? We were so busy congratulating my mother on her birthday that we forgot about it. She moved alone, and she didn't know if she was tired or not? Would you like to check it out? ”
"It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"It's not even ten o'clock, it's not too late, and she certainly hasn't slept either. It's good if you give her a red envelope! She's moving to a new house! ”
"Shall I take a trip then?"
"Let's go! You explain, just say that my mother has a birthday and didn't help her move. ”
Li Yunhai got out of bed, got dressed, and took the car keys and went out.
He closed the door and saw Guo Wanhua walking out.
"Yunhai, where are you going?" Guo Wanhua asked.
"I went to Shen Xiulan's house to take a look, and I only remembered that she moved today. Sister Guo, what are you? ”
"I didn't have enough for dinner, and suddenly I was very hungry, and I wanted to go downstairs and find something to eat."
"Don't look for it, I'll bring you some supper later."
"No, I'll just wash an apple and eat it."
Li Yunhai turned on the light in the stairwell, and the two went downstairs together.
Guo Wanhua wore a set of silk pajamas and a cotton jacket.
"Yunhai, you wait before leaving." Guo Wanhua smiled, "I watched a ghost movie and was a little scared. ”
She took the apple, smiled, and went upstairs.
Li Yunhai looked at her delicate and graceful back, disappeared at the staircase, and then went out.
He drove the car and arrived at the dormitory area of Tianhua Building in a few minutes.
Tianhua Building Management Company has been established, many members of this team, will also be the management of Tianhua Hotel in the future, recruiting many personnel, to carry out preliminary training, so in advance to recruit personnel.
There are a lot of people living in the dormitory.
Li Yunhai got out of the car, first looked at the lights in the room on the second floor, and sure enough, when he saw that Shen Xiulan's room was lit, he knew that she had moved over.
The wind is cold.
Li Yunhai tightened his collar and walked upstairs quickly.
The second is to ask for a monthly pass.
