Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

In the courtyard, Xu Damao did not expect that Sha Zhu would suddenly take action.

In his opinion, even if Shazhu comes out of the mental hospital, he will learn from this experience and will no longer be as impulsive as before.

But he never expected that Silly Zhu would be so crazy this time, without leaving any room!

"Silly Zhu, what are you going to do!"

Xu Damao exclaimed and tried to dodge but it was already too late.

He only felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and then his vision went dark and he fell directly to the ground.

"Silly Zhu, what are you doing!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect Sha Zhu to take action directly, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Silly Zhu snorted coldly, "What do I want to do? You asked me what I want to do!"

He punched Xu Damao in the face, sending Xu Damao flying away and hitting the wall hard.

Yi Zhonghai was also frightened.

Silly Zhu's current expression is exactly the same as that of the mad dog just now.

"Silly Zhu, stop fooling around!"

Yi Zhonghai shouted sharply and grabbed Sha Zhu's arm, trying to pull him over, but Sha Zhu sneered and said, "Dad, this is God's opportunity for us to take revenge!"

"Revenge?" Yi Zhonghai asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

Silly Zhu said, "It was Xu Damao who sent me to the mental hospital and made me suffer there for so many days. Do you think I should deal with him?"

Yi Zhonghai did not expect Sha Zhu to be so vindictive. He also hated Xu Damao deeply. Ever since Xu Damao became the steward, he had always been at odds with him. He often made trouble with him in the courtyard.

But.

Now that Silly Zhu has just come back, it is not the time to argue with Xu Damao.

Yi Zhonghai knew Sha Zhu's temperament, and if he really argued with Xu Damao, he would definitely kill Xu Damao.

Therefore, he could only persuade Si Zhu, "Si Zhu, Xu Damao is just a pawn. The real bad guy is Liu Hongchang. If you want revenge, go arrest Liu Hongchang and beat him up."

Silly pillars are not stupid.

Of course he knew that he was where he was today because of Liu Hongchang. However, Liu Hongchang was the director of a large factory and his methods were ruthless. Silly Zhu did not dare to do anything to Liu Hongchang.

He took a deep breath, grabbed Xu Damao's collar, and said fiercely, "Xu Damao, if you act bad again in the future, I will never let you go!"

After saying that, Silly Zhu let go of his hand, let Xu Damao fall to the ground, and walked away humming a ditty with his hands behind his back. Today is his first day out. His mother, Aunt Yi, must have cooked something delicious, and maybe there will be meat.

The time he spent in the mental hospital was very harmful to Shazhu. Every day he ate stick noodle porridge or that kind of soup. He had lost several kilograms recently and had to make up for it quickly.

Xu Damao lay on the ground, stroking his sore shoulders, looking at Silly Zhu's back, gritting his teeth and said, "Silly Zhu, I'm not done with you. Don't worry, I will send you in again in a few days."

The courtyard is full of chicken feathers, and Wang Weidong has launched a new plan - to develop his own computer industry.

Yes, it's an industry.

From computer hardware, to computer software, to establishing a complete industrial chain and ecological chain, everything is included.

Of course.

Tall buildings rise from the ground.

The first thing to do now is to build a computer.

This may seem like a fantasy, but in fact, in this era, some knowledgeable people in China have realized the importance of computers and have begun research on computers.

As early as 1958, China had developed the general-purpose electronic digital computer 107.

In 2001, the programming group of the Preparatory Committee of the Institute of Computing Technology independently developed my country's first compilation program that could be run on the 104 machine, and used the program to solve 10 numerical analysis problems. It also cooperated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop a crystal Structural analysis calculation software package.

By 1965, China had successfully developed a transistor electronic computer with a computing speed of 50,000 times per second, generally called the second-generation computer.

In 1973, the Beijing Cable Power Plant successfully developed a large-scale general-purpose computer with a computing speed of 1 million operations per second, and had noticed the importance of small computers. However, due to lack of sufficient financial support, the research and development of small computers was eventually axed.

Work.

The person Wang Weidong wants to cooperate with this time is the Beijing Cable Power Plant.

In the past two days, he had contacted Professor Zheng Enming, the person in charge of the computer project of the Beijing Cable Power Plant, through comrades in the ministry.

Last night, Yu Li reported to Wang Weidong that Professor Zheng Enming had just finished a research project and had time to meet with Wang Weidong.

The two parties agreed to meet this morning. Wang Weidong had always had a good impression of scientific researchers, so he came to the Orchid Laboratory early in the morning and called Fang Mu to go with him to the Beijing Cable Power Plant.

In order to show respect for scientific researchers, Wang Weidong also asked the logistics department to prepare gifts, including fifty kilograms of pork, two hundred kilograms of white flour and three hundred kilograms of soybeans.

Due to the large number of gifts, the Gas jeep could not accommodate them, so a liberation truck and five security officers had to be used.

When jeeps and Jiefang trucks appeared at the Beijing Cable Power Plant, they caused quite a stir.

It was working time at this time, and the researchers who came in and out of the door stopped one after another.

"Who is this? Such a big scene."

"Could it be that the superior leaders came to inspect?"

"I haven't heard of it. Professor Zheng's mainframe research has not produced new results yet, and the superior leaders will not come this time."

"He seems to be a comrade from Orchid Automobile Factory."

"A while ago I heard that Lanhua Automobile Factory wanted to jointly research minicomputers with us."

"Minicomputer? Isn't this project axed? Will Professor Zheng agree?"

"Yes, Professor Zheng is currently focused on mainframe computers and has no interest in minicomputers at all. These people will definitely be turned away."

It was not a matter of being closed down. With the help of the ministries and commissions, Professor Zheng Enming had to receive Wang Weidong and his party even if he postponed the research project.

Of course, he was not very enthusiastic about this meeting.

Wang Weidong had already noticed this when he first met him.

In the conference room, Professor Zheng Enming saw a group of people coming, stood up and said with a smile, "Comrades from Lanhua Automobile Factory, welcome to our cable power plant."

Li Weidong walked over and shook hands with him, "Professor Zheng, I deeply admire your contribution to computers. In order to support your scientific research work, I specially brought fifty kilograms of pork, two hundred kilograms of white flour and three hundred kilograms of soybeans."

."

The smile on Professor Zheng's face was originally quite forced. Even when shaking hands, it was weak. When he heard these gifts, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Although the current scarcity of supplies in the capital has eased compared to previous years, the supplies on the market are still not abundant. Pure scientific research institutions like the Beijing Cable Power Plant receive even more limited support.

Most researchers can only receive five kilograms of meat coupons, ten kilograms of fine white flour, and sixty or seventy kilograms of thick flour every month. Even for scientific research leaders like Professor Zheng, the monthly supply of supplies is no more than that of ordinary researchers.

Just 1 pound more brown sugar.

This time, Lanhua Automobile Factory actually sent so many supplies. It is indeed the richest factory in the capital.

Professor Zheng stayed in the laboratory all year round and did not know much about the outside world. When he received a call from the ministry, he was confused as to when there was an additional Orchid Automobile Factory in Beijing.

Later, when I asked other researchers in the laboratory, I suddenly took a breath of cold air. It only took two years from the establishment of the Lanhua Automobile Factory to the start of production. After starting to produce cars, the Lanhua Automobile Factory was produced very quickly.

Enjoy domestic and overseas success and become the largest automobile manufacturer in the country.

"Director Liu, you are too polite. Our two work units have little contact with each other on weekdays. There is no need for you to bring such an expensive gift."

Professor Zheng is that kind of old-school scientific researcher. Even though life is difficult, he almost grits his teeth and still adheres to the old rule that a gentleman will not be rewarded without merit.

Wang Weidong laughed loudly, "Professor Zheng, these grains are given to all the scientific researchers of the Beijing Radio Factory. They are able to achieve gratifying results under such difficult and difficult circumstances. They really deserve our admiration."

The expression on Professor Zheng's face kept changing, and his eyes also changed, as if he was hesitating whether he should accept this generous gift.

Several researchers in the conference room looked a little nervous when they saw that Professor Zheng did not want to accept Wang Weidong's gift.

Their lives are very difficult, and their wages are not even as good as those of ordinary workers. Because of their wages, they are constantly nagged by their mothers-in-law.

In the eyes of those women, they were of no use at all despite their knowledge and culture. They might as well work in the workshops like ordinary workers and earn some wages to support their families in Hukou.

What's the use of looking at those computer screens all day long and studying stuff that no one understands?

The family doesn't even have food stamps to buy food, the children don't even have school fees, and the elderly don't even have money to buy medicine when they get sick.

"Professor Zheng, this is Director Liu's wish." Yu Li saw Professor Zheng's hesitation and quickly helped.

Professor Zheng looked at Wang Weidong, still hesitating in his heart.

Wang Weidong smiled calmly and said, "Professor Zheng, don't worry, all these grains and rice are sponsored by our Lanhua Automobile Factory. If you really feel sorry for yourself, you can consider letting our Lanhua Automobile Factory participate in the research of minicomputers. This

It’s definitely a great thing for you.”

Wang Weidong's words surprised everyone in the research room. They did not expect that Lanhua Automobile Factory would want to get involved in this research project.

Professor Zheng pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Director Liu, minicomputers are of no use in industrial production. Even if they are developed, it will only be a waste of social resources. We have already planned to give up on minicomputers."

of research."

Wang Weidong laughed and said, "The computing power of minicomputers is much weaker than that of mainframes and is not suitable for industrial use. However, with the development of the times, ordinary people will one day be able to use minicomputers. In my opinion, minicomputers

Computers are much more important than mainframes."

"Can ordinary people use minicomputers? What a joke! Did you know that the production cost of the simplest minicomputer is as high as more than 2,000 yuan. In today's society, workers' monthly wages are only dozens of yuan.

People's annual income is less than 200 yuan, so why can they use minicomputers?"

In fact, there are also differences within cable power plants regarding the development of minicomputers and mainframes. One group believes that minicomputers are very useful, while the other group believes that minicomputers are just toys and cannot promote production at all.

Professor Zheng is a representative of the useless minicomputer faction.

Facing the aggressive Professor Zheng, Wang Weidong was not in a hurry. He lit up a cigarette and took a comfortable puff, and said slowly, "Professor Zheng, the world is developing so fast that we can't imagine. The history of human civilization is only a few thousand years.

Thousands of years ago, could our ancestors imagine that iron boxes could fly in the air? Could they imagine that people could make prey fall by just pulling the trigger? Could they imagine that we could travel in space?"

"What you are talking about has nothing to do with minicomputers." Professor Zheng waved his hand in annoyance.

Wang Weidong said calmly, "Professor Zheng, you are the leader of the computer research project. You should know that scientific research funds play a very important role in research, right?"

Professor Zheng nodded slowly.

When he was a professor, he thought that in scientific research work, as long as he was motivated and smart enough, he could produce research.

However, after I was transferred to the wired power plant and served as the project leader, I discovered that the foundation of the research project is actually funding.

Without funds, there is no way to pay salaries or issue meal tickets to researchers.

Without funds, there is no way to purchase scientific research equipment.

Without funds, even the ability to invite other researchers to work in the laboratory has been lost.

It can be said that without funds, scientific research projects are just castles in the air.

but.

Professor Zheng said coldly, "Scientific research projects are approved by ministries and commissions. Every year, ministries and commissions allocate a large amount of scientific research funds. We don't need to worry about these funds."

Wang Weidong asked, "Where do the funds of the ministries and commissions come from?"

"Of course," Professor Zheng couldn't answer.

Wang Weidong smiled and said, "Professor Zheng, if scientific research is just scientific research and cannot be transformed into actual products, then the funds for the project will dry up sooner or later. Only by transforming the results of the research project into real products can be promoted to the world through the sale of goods."

The profits obtained are then converted into scientific research funds and invested in scientific research projects. Only then can the scientific research plan develop sustainably."

As soon as these words came out, Professor Zheng was immediately speechless. He also knew that the market for mainframe computers was very small, and currently ministries and commissions were gradually reducing the research budget for mainframe computers.

In the conference room, the eyes of two researchers suddenly lit up.

They are Professor Zhang Tianming and Professor Liu Qing respectively.

Both of them are in their thirties and both graduated from Beijing University. When they were in college, they were interested in computer development abroad.

After graduation, he entered the Cable Power Plant Research Institute, determined to contribute to the development of domestic computers.

but,

The research institute is owned by Professor Zheng, and Professor Zheng has always looked down upon minicomputers, so the two of them have lost their usefulness.

Not only that, they were criticized by Professor Zheng for several times suggesting the development of minicomputers.
