Li Yunhai called Professor Ni and told him that the customer's computer had crashed for no reason.

Professor Ni was also very confused, he had done many tests before, and it was certain that there was no problem with the Longteng chip, and there was no compatibility or conflict with other hardware used for installation.

The most important things in a computer are CPU, motherboard and memory, and Sihai Group happens to be able to produce all three products, and the most important accessories are produced in-house, which can ensure absolute compatibility.

If it's not a hardware problem, is it the system and software?

At the beginning of the development of the Longteng chip, Li Yunhai gave an order that it must be compatible with the mainstream systems on the market!

An incompatible product is destined to not go far and not fly high.

Therefore, the Longteng chip and Microsoft's system are absolutely compatible.

However, the repeated occurrence of crash problems made Li Yunhai and Professor Ni anxious.

This is a technical matter, and it can only be left to Professor Ni to solve.

Professor Ni was in Huacheng, and there were only a few people who knew technology around him, so he notified the Xizhou headquarters overnight and arranged for someone to test the compatibility of chips and other hardware and software.

Ji Wenshu reminded that the scope of testing can be expanded.

Because there are a lot of games, software, and other installed accessories on the market.

Maybe it's because of a software incompatibility?

Li Yunhai thought of one thing, and called Zhao Jinping again, asking Zhao Jinping to contact the customer, ask them what software was installed in the computer they crashed, which software was used when they crashed, and then use these software to do a compatibility test.

Zhao Jinping agreed, he contacted the customer, asked the other party about the software used at the time, and what software was installed in the computer, and then directly told Professor Ni to arrange for technical personnel to conduct the test.

The advent of a new chip will definitely face more doubts.

Even if it is found out in the end, it is not the Longteng chip that is the problem, but others will have preconceived ideas that there is a problem with the chip.

Once this preconception becomes inertia, consumers' tolerance for Longteng chips will be minimized, and it will be equated with low-end and instability in the future.

Once this stereotype is formed, it will be difficult to recover the amount of money spent by Sihai Group.

Therefore, Li Yunhai must solve the problem of the crash as soon as possible and find out the culprit.

He made several phone calls in a row, paid the pay bill, bought a pack of cigarettes, and returned to the café.

Chen Meilin and Wu Wenfang didn't know what they were chatting about, their heads touched, whispering, and laughing from time to time.

Li Yunhai sat down, took out a cigarette, and inhaled it slowly, thinking about his thoughts.

Chen Meilin asked, "Brother, are you in trouble?" We're done eating, why don't we leave? ”

Li Yunhai sighed, called the waiter to settle the bill, and left with the two of them.

He pretended to have something in his heart, and after sending Chen Meilin and Wu Wenfang to Guo's house, he came directly to the Dongfang Hotel.

Professor Ni has been coordinating various aspects of the test.

The strange thing is that all the tests done by Sihai Group itself have no problems.

The high-intensity test done in Shi's company has lasted for so many days, and there has been no crash.

Li Yunhai thought to himself, is it a problem of yield rate?

Any product is manufactured by a machine, there will always be errors, it is impossible to achieve a 100% failure-free rate, and there is a yield rate for electronic products.

Yield rate refers to the proportion of the number of qualified products produced in the production process to the total production quantity, usually expressed as a percentage. Theoretically, the yield rate can only be close to 100%, but it is impossible to reach 100%.

Sihai Group's products, especially the chips that have just been launched, will be tested before they are officially installed to ensure that no problems occur.

Li Yunhai understands a truth better than anyone else, it is even more difficult to be a brand, but to smash a brand, it is enough to lose quality control.

However, Zhao Jinping's feedback said that the computers ordered by the customer had more than a dozen crashes in a row. This probability is too great, even if there is a problem of yield rate, but it is impossible for all unqualified chips to be shipped to this customer, right?

Testing takes time, and it's useless to rush now.

Li Yunhai and Professor Ni discussed for two hours, but they couldn't get the point, seeing that it was too late, and he would have to attend the Canton Fair tomorrow, so he said goodbye and went home.

On the way home, Li Yunhai was sitting in the back seat of the car when he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the side of the street.

The woman on the bicycle was slender, with long flowing hair, and her pedaling movements were beautiful and elegant.

The car quickly passed by the bicycle, leaving her far behind.

There is a red light ahead.

Zhuang Yong stopped the car.

The bicycle chased after it and stopped next to the car, the woman was slender, supporting the ground with her feet, brushing her head full of green silk with both hands, and the night wind blew, blowing her long hair, revealing her delicate waist.

She turned her head and glanced at the car inadvertently.

It's a pity that it's night, and the street lights on the road are too dim, so she didn't see Li Yunhai sitting in the car.

Li Yunhai was about to say hello to her, but a green light lit up in front of him.

Zhuang Yong started the car and soon opened up the gap with the bicycle again.

Back at home, Su Hong and Shen Xiulan had already fallen asleep.

Shen Xiulan was very well-behaved and slept in Li Yunhai's master bedroom.

Li Yunhai took a shower and went to bed, waking up Shen Xiulan.

Shen Xiulan turned around and hugged him.

Li Yunhai kissed her face.

The two didn't say a word, and directly began to love.

The next day, Li Yunhai has been paying attention to the results of the test, and at the same time asked Zhao Jinping to communicate with the customer, so that the other party should not return the goods first, and we are trying our best to find the cause of the accident.

Zhao Jinping said that he had been contacted last night, and the other party only gave us three days, and if the reason could not be found within three days, they would determine that the Longteng chip was defective and must be returned.

Li Yunhai frowned, and he was at a loss for anything.

If the Longteng chip is really flawed, it will be a devastating blow to Sihai Group!

Sihai Group has decoupled from Intel and abolished all cooperation.

If there is a problem with the Longteng chip, it means that Sihai Group will have no cores available!

Sihai Group will be forced to give up the computer business, and its annual revenue will be cut in half.

At this moment, Li Yunhai truly experienced the pain of being overwhelmed by the cold in the heights, as difficult as walking on thin ice!

It's no wonder that even a company the size of Intel almost collapsed in the 80s because of poor management!

The bigger the company, once there is a mistake, it will be a complete death!

Li Yunhai suddenly thought of something and asked Zhao Jinping to find the computer that crashed last time.

The computer had a malfunction, so it was put away and left unused.

Li Yunhai asked people to install the computer, then turned it on, and asked, "Has the software in it been moved?" ”

Zhao Jinping replied: "I haven't moved." ”

Li Yunhai nodded and checked the software and games installed on the computer.

Because this is a computer for display, there is a lot of software and games inside.

"Mr. Zhao, is there a list of software and games installed by customers? Show me. Li Yunhai asked.

"Yes, Mr. Li." Zhao Jinping took out a piece of paper and handed it to Li Yunhai, "I wrote it all down on this paper." ”

Li Yunhai compared the software and games on the paper with the programs installed on the computer one by one.

"Excluding the usual software, there are three games that are the same." Li Yunhai made a comparison and said, "There is no compatibility with these commonly used software. I suspect that the most likely problem is with these three games. ”

Zhao Jinping didn't know much about technology, and asked, "Mr. Li, can the game still crash?" ”

"It's easiest to crash when you play!" Li Yunhai said calmly, "Because the game occupies too many system resources, it has high requirements for computer hardware. Some game developers are in a hurry and don't do much hardware testing, so it's inevitable that there will be incompatibilities. ”

He groaned slightly and said, "Notify the testing team immediately and let them install these three games to see how it goes." ”

Zhao Jinping immediately went to call to inform.

Shen Xiulan saw it next to her and said, "Yunhai, I remember, the last time this computer crashed, the customer just started a game, and it didn't take long to crash." ”

Li Yunhai asked, "Do you remember which game the customer played?" ”

"Seems like this." Shen Xiulan pointed to an icon on the desktop and said, "I'm not sure. ”

Li Yunhai starts the game.

This game is not too popular in China, and there is no Chinese version.

Sihai Group is to test the performance of the computer, so it has installed as many games as possible, and most of them are new.

Li Yunhai landed in the game and started playing.

He had just been playing for more than ten minutes when the computer screen suddenly went black, and there were two whining sounds from the host.

Crash!

Li Yunhai restarted the computer.

After the computer self-test, it successfully entered the system.

He turned on the playtest again.

This time I played a little longer, but after half an hour, it crashed again.

Li Yunhai is almost certain that it is the problem caused by this game.

But he can't make a final judgment based on his own tests.

In the afternoon, the feedback from the test team came, because the crash events caused by this game occurred continuously, but the time of each crash was different, sometimes it was a few minutes of playing, and sometimes it took a few hours to crash.

The crux of the problem has been found, and the next thing to test is to play the game on a computer with Intel chips to see if it crashes.

If Intel's chip is not the right machine, it means that the Dragon chip is not compatible with the game.

After many tests, the Intel 486 chip will also freeze when playing this game.

This proves that the crash of the computer has nothing to do with the chip, but the problem of the game itself.

Li Yunhai and his team were busy for most of the day, and finally found the problem, but it was beyond his power to solve the problem, either not to play this game, or to expect this game to fix the BUG.

After Zhao Jinping got the test report, he faxed it to the customer who wanted to return it that night, and called again to explain the situation.

The customer was also reasonable, saying that since it has nothing to do with your chips, then we will not return the goods, and the cooperation will continue.

When the news came, Li Yunhai and the others all breathed a long sigh.

The troublesome matter was finally resolved satisfactorily.

When he was eating in the evening, Li Yunhai was in a bad mood and didn't eat much.

At this moment, the matter was settled, he was in a cheerful mood, and suddenly felt a little hungry and wanted to invite Shen Xiulan out for supper.

Shen Xiulan said that she was too tired and didn't want to move.

It happened that Chen Meilin brought Wu Wenfang over to find Li Yunhai, and a few of them made an appointment to play.

When he came to the light night market street, Li Yunhai found a nightclub and ordered a lot of barbecue and seafood.

Chen Meilin will return to Xiangjiang tomorrow, and she doesn't know when she will see her next time, but between her words, she revealed her reluctance to give up on Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai only thought that she was a little girl who valued love and righteousness, patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "We will always see each other again." Your task now is to study hard. And the movie you invested in, you don't invest too much time, after choosing the director, leave it to the director to work hard. ”

Chen Meilin smiled and said, "Brother, I know!" Then when will you come to see me in Xiangjiang? ”

"I'll go when I'm free."

"When are you free? You've got to tell me a day before I look forward to your coming. ”

Wu Wenfang nibbled on barbecue chicken wings and said with a smile: "I must wait until the dealer conference at the end of the year, right?" ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "You don't know yet, right? Our dealer conference has been cancelled, and the press conference will be held in the spring and autumn every year, and the dealer conference will no longer be held. ”

Chen Meilin sighed: "Then you won't come to Xiangjiang this year?" ”

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Maybe I'll go for it!" I'll get back in touch then. ”

Wu Wenfang asked: "Are the press conferences in the spring and autumn held in the mainland?" ”

Li Yunhai nodded and said, "For the time being, it will be held in the mainland." ”

Wu Wenfang was very disappointed and said: "Then I can't see your press conference, and I can't see the stars you invited." ”

Li Yunhai said: "You yourself are a big star, why are you still chasing stars like this?" ”

Wu Wenfang said: "Where am I a big star? I haven't even won a decent award. ”

Chen Meilin said: "Sister Wenfang, the movie we shot this time, you acted with your heart and worked hard to win an award!" ”

After supper, Li Yunhai and the two of them went shopping and walking.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wu Wenfang and Chen Meilin left Huacheng.

The Canton Fair soon came to an end.

Sihai Group did not receive too many orders, and the daily turnover was about 10 million or 20 million.

At the end of the Canton Fair, Sihai Group got a total of 350 million US dollars in orders!

You can't make a windfall, but it's also better to be stable.

After the end, Li Yunhai and Shi Wentao and others gathered to thank him for his support.

The computer test was conducted in Shi's company for 12 days, and the final result made Li Yunhai very satisfied.

The dinner was held at Panxi Restaurant.

Li Yunhai didn't want to get drunk, so he only invited three or five friends, and everyone drank as they liked, and they didn't persuade each other to drink.

When it comes to developing the chip market, Shi Wentao proposed: "Mr. Li, the chip market is huge, but you are so small that you can't sell many chips, you have to cooperate with international manufacturers, such as IBM, Compaq, HP, AST and other brands." As long as you find a few factories to work with, the sales of chips will go up immediately. Selling millions of pieces a year is not a problem. ”

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly: "Shi Gongzi, why don't I know? I want to too! But look, which big factory will cooperate with us? IBM, Intel, and Microsoft, that is a three-way relationship, IBM is impossible to cooperate with us. You don't have to think about it. ”

Shi Wentao said: "That's just a community of interests." If you can offer the greater good, I believe their alliance will collapse. Even if IBM doesn't work with you, you have other companies to fight for. For a company as big as Compaq, you can give it a try. Didn't they go to Xizhou to build a factory? This is a good opportunity to purchase chips nearby, which is also beneficial to them. ”

At the mention of Compaq, Li Yunhai couldn't help but have a headache.

He and the senior management of Compaq have never met, but they have already passed several tricks!

Although there was no formal confrontation between the two companies, in several matters, the two fought openly and secretly, especially the last purchase order in the province, the two fought together, and as a result, Li Yunhai was a step ahead and successfully cut off the beard. Although Compaq didn't put a single fart on his side, he must have a big opinion, but he couldn't say it in his heart.

The current pattern of Xizhou is also very delicate.

The Sihai Park and the Economic Development Zone are in a competitive relationship.

At this time, let Li Yunhai talk to Compaq about cooperation?

Isn't that a game of tigers?

As for other large factories, Li Yunhai estimates that the chances of success are not high.

AST, the plant, is not worth paying too much attention to.

HP can fight for it, even if it can't become the only supplier of their chips, it can be their only two or only three suppliers.

What Li Yunhai wants to fight for most is Dell.

Dell's business model is completely different from that of traditional computer companies, making customized machines, focusing on after-sales service, and caring more about a penny of profits.

Longteng chips have a huge cost performance.

And the future development prospects of this company are very promising!

If Li Yunhai can win Dell's cooperation, then Longteng chips will have hope to take off!

Li Yunhai asked: "Shi Gongzi, the computer dealer over there in Taiwan, can you see if you can get cooperation?" The old brand MSI and the newly established ASUS are good. ”

Shi Wentao said: "I won't tell you, I have already contacted these manufacturers, and I am more anxious than you, and I am eager to win the chip market in Taiwan." But they're still thinking about it and haven't replied to me yet. Don't worry, the market in Taiwan will be handed over to me! ”

Li Yunhai picked up the cup, touched the glass with him, and said, "Everything is in a glass of wine!" ”

The two raised their glasses and drank together.

After the meal, Li Yunhai took the car home.

As he crossed the familiar road, he looked out the window and saw the familiar figure again.

She wore it on her bike, her skirt and hair dancing in the evening breeze. She was tall at the waist and looked straight ahead without squinting.

It's a crossroads again.

The red light is on.

The car stopped.

The bike she was riding was also parked next to it.

At this moment, a truck drove up behind, and I don't know if it was a blind spot or the driver was distracted, and it hit the bicycle directly.

The truck driver slammed on the brakes but still hit the bike.

The woman, along with her bicycle, fell heavily to the ground.

Li Yunhai hurriedly got out of the car and ran to the woman's side with a brisk walk. (End of chapter)
