After about ten minutes, Wang Haowen finally hung up the phone, walked over and said to Kangchi: "It's still open, but I heard that the benefits have not been very good in the past few years, and it may go out of business at any time...... Anyway, I've already told him about the situation, and if you're interested, you'll have to hurry. ”

"Thank you! Thank you so much this time. ”

Kang Chi nodded gratefully to Wang Haowen, and then recorded the contact number and address of his classmate.

Of course, by the way, I also have to go to Wang Haowen's contact information.

"Why don't you go to lunch together?"

"It's not enough to eat, I have a little experiment in the afternoon, if you don't have anything else, I'll go back first."

"Okay, then I'll invite you again next time I have a chance."

Wang Haowen nodded, and was about to walk in the direction of the research institute.

"Wait, do you take a part-time job?"

"Part-time?"

"Well, do you or someone you know know who would write graphics drivers?"

"Graphics driver? Just that 2D accelerator card you designed? ”

"No, it's a serious graphics card."

Wang Haowen was stunned, then shook his head with a smile: "Let's talk about it when you bring the graphics card." ”

Judging from his perfunctory expression, he thought it was another joke by Kangchi.

Kangchi doesn't mind either,

He's got the answer he wants,

When Wang Haowen really saw the graphics card, he would naturally be able to dispel his misunderstanding and prejudice.

After leaving Sioux Provincial University, Kang Chi returned to the hotel and checked out of his room, and then rushed to Yuecheng by train non-stop, and successfully met Wang Haowen's college classmate Liu Yu.

The difference between Liu Yu's image and Kang Chi's imagination is a bit big.

The loose suit on his body tried to hide the huge beer belly, but he barely buttoned it, and when he saw Kangchi, although he had a warm and cheerful smile on his face, his eyes were full of exhaustion.

In short, it is completely different from the science and engineering man in Kangchi's impression,

On the contrary, it is more like a boss who has failed in business.

belch

As if that were the case......

Chaoyang Electronics Factory.

In the dilapidated factory, several elderly workers are slowly processing circuit boards on the assembly line, and the rusty equipment exudes a strong smell of engine oil, which makes Kangchi a little upset.

From the assembly line, Kangchi picked up a square black chip, about the size of a thumbnail, with eight legs on each side.

"What is this?" Kangchi asked curiously.

"A 40 micron microprocessor, 4.19 MHz frequency, 8 KB of memory and 8 KB of video RAM are the main products of our factory."

40 microns?

The performance is low enough.

However, the performance of the 2D acceleration card designed by himself is not much better, and the two of them can be regarded as Wolong and Phoenix Chicks......

"What's the use of this?"

"It's a lot of use, when we were kids, we played Tetris, the kind of handheld Game Boy, and the chip in it is like this, but this thing is basically no one to play now, and we are now mainly supplying those manufacturers who produce children's toys for products such as children's rocking cars."

Because it was introduced by Wang Haowen, Liu Yu is quite enthusiastic about Kangchi.

I just don't know if he will be so enthusiastic when he knows that Kangchi just wants to borrow their equipment and make a 2D accelerator card......

After briefly learning about the situation of the electronics factory, Liu Yu took Kangchi to eat supper.

"I was still in elementary school at the time, and my factory was much bigger than it is now, and dozens of workers were crammed into it."

"Later, it didn't work in China, but the demand in the Philippines rose again, and there were still export orders until I graduated from college, but in the past few years, it has not been possible at home and abroad."

After a few glasses of wine, Liu Yu's chatterbox opened, and he talked to Kangchi about the past glory of their factory.

Kang Chi also felt a little embarrassed when he heard it,

Feelings: When this brother came back from college, what he inherited from his father was actually a mess.

"After all, it's been decades, and it's almost completely eliminated." Kang Chi shook his head, "Why don't you try to engage in industrial upgrading?" Like making something more advanced? ”

"Industrial upgrading?" Liu Yu suddenly showed a complicated expression, "Have you ever heard a word?" If you don't engage in industrial upgrading, it will be a slow death, and if you do industrial upgrading, you will die directly. ”

"Oh? How do you say that? ”

"Industrial upgrading has to buy equipment, to improve the quality of workers, which is money, but the market is the same volume, if you can't keep up with marketing, will it be a violent death? Even if the marketing keeps up, you will make a small profit, and the real big head will be made by those who sell equipment. ”

Kangchi nodded.

In fact, the situation that Daqin Optics is facing now is a bit similar, but it is not as severe as Chaoyang Electronics Factory.

Because Daqin Optics is manufacturing equipment, it is all made by Kangchi itself, which saves I don't know how much money.

And once he upgrades to the more competitive mid-to-high-end market, he will immediately be surrounded by Soni, Glenton, Nikon and other manufacturers.

If his equipment was also bought with a lot of money, and the capital chain was insufficient, he would not be able to escape the fate of sudden death.

But Daqin Optics has the soil development of manual focusing lenses, but Chaoyang Electronics Factory does not, they are facing a land that is close to drying up, and they don't know if they can survive tomorrow.

"But you can't sit still, can you? You'll have to try it to see if it's going to work, right? You used to have such a good business, you should still make money, why don't you take out a little bit and invest it? ”

"Don't mention it, that old man has money, except for gambling or taking a mistress, and his family has been ruined by him."

“……”

Kang Chi was silent for a moment, and in order to change the topic, he mentioned the purpose of his trip.

Hearing Kang Chi say that he came over just to borrow the equipment in his factory to make something, Liu Yu was a little disappointed.

But for the sake of the face of the college classmates, it was not obvious to show it, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "No problem, you give me the design drawing, and I will help you make it tomorrow." ”

"Uh...... Maybe I didn't make it clear just now, but I mean, I want to do it myself. ”

“？”

Hearing this strange request, Liu Yu was also a little confused.

"Do it yourself?"

"yes, you just think it's my hobby."

"Okay...... But the question is, will you use those devices? ”

"No, it won't." Kang Chi smiled, took out an envelope prepared in advance from his pocket and stuffed it into Liu Yu's hand, "So I have to trouble Brother Liu to teach me, this little meaning should be regarded as a training fee." ”

The envelope was stuffed very bulgingly, and the seal could not be folded at all, and Liu Yu could see at a glance that what was in it was money.

With Liu Yu's experience, as soon as he got his hands, he knew that this thick stack would have to be forty or fifty thousand.

He immediately pushed the envelope to Kang Chi: "Brother Kang, you are too outward!" You were introduced by Howen, although I haven't been in touch with him for so many years, but the friendship between the upper and lower bunks will always be there, and you are just a little thing to do. ”

"No, one yard is one yard, the friendship between the two of you is yours, and I don't have this kind of pressure."

Kangchi naturally didn't take it, so the money was put on the table.

"Actually, I just met Dr. Wang, if you don't accept this money, why am I embarrassed to trouble you?" Kangchi stood up as he spoke, "Unless you're going to drive me to someone else?" ”

"Uh, that's not what I meant......"

Liu Yu saw that Kang Chi was so insistent, and he really needed money recently, so he finally had to accept the money.
