The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

To spend a lot of money to recruit scientific researchers, Yang Dongxu naturally hopes to engage in research and development, so that he can stand at the top of the world pyramid in terms of computer hardware production.

However, the time for purely producing computers can still be estimated. After all, although computers are still rare for mainlanders, they have already been mass-produced in some developed countries.

Even if Mirov can't complete the technical integration for a while, after the production line is ready, it will be a big deal to imitate first, and then slowly develop the technology. brand.

When he arrived at the factory, Yang Dongxu first went to Ye Rongrong's office to get a general understanding of the current situation in the factory. Seeing the education levels of the more than 400 workers in the factory, he couldn't help frowning.

Assembly line workers basically don't need any education level, as long as they can clearly distinguish what they need to do and what they can't do. However, if a technology company wants to cultivate its own talent ladder reserve, such a level of education will not work.

"Is it difficult to recruit educated employees?" Yang Dongxu frowned and asked.

"It's easier than before, but many people value the iron rice bowl more." Ye Rongrong sighed.

Thinking of all the tossing and tossing to recruit and train employees with junior high school diplomas for the BB production line, she also has a headache about the academic qualifications of her employees.

Not to mention now, even in the future, the attraction of iron rice bowls to people is not comparable to that of private companies. What's more, let alone college students, even high school students are assigned. After all, high school graduates like Ye Rongrong who have their own ideas are in the minority.

"How would you feel if you started a school?"

"Running a school?" Ye Rongrong was stunned for a moment, Yang Dongxu's brain was a little jumpy and she couldn't keep up for a while.

"Yes, school, technical school." Yang Dongxu nodded.

The more he thought about setting up a technical school by himself, the more Yang Dongxu felt that this method was simply too good. Now the whole country is short of talents. As a private company that is not regarded as an iron rice bowl, it is impossible for you to compete with the country for talents.

In addition, since scientific researchers with sensitive identities can be dug from the north, it is obviously a breeze to dig a few teachers to come over. After all, well-known professors cannot be recruited, but ordinary highly educated teachers can be recruited. For example, computer programming teachers are a very good choice.

"Technical school?" All kinds of pheasant universities are not popular now, so Ye Rongrong is a little confused about the technical school.

"It's a school for cultivating skills. You can treat it as a big training class."

"What diploma level?"

"It's higher than junior high school, it's equivalent to high school." Yang Dongxu thought for a while and said.

"Is this possible?" Ye Rongrong felt that Yang Dongxu was a little whimsical.

In the countryside, she had heard of private elementary schools and private middle schools, but could private high schools be established in this country?

"It's not a regular school." Yang Dongxu waved his hand, and then felt that the expression was inaccurate: "It's not informal, I mean is it the kind of high school you went to, we don't teach you the things you learned in high school, we only teach technology.

For example, the operators on the BB machine production line, or we need mechanics in other factories in the future, etc. It's just like when a young man wanted to learn a craft in the past, so he asked an old craftsman to be a master. It's just that a master leads more apprentices here. "

"Then how do you recruit students? Where do you plan to run the school?"

"I haven't thought it through yet, I'll talk about it when I think it over. You first select the people who need training, and the trainer will arrive in a few days." Although I feel that this sudden inspiration is awesome, the specific operation Getting up does not happen overnight, so Yang Dongxu needs to plan well.

Yang Dongxu stayed in Shenzhen for three consecutive days and Mirov finally came up with a rough result. It is impossible to directly produce computers, because many technologies are very high-end, but they cannot be mass-produced at all. If we go to public relations one by one , the time required cannot be counted at all, and many technologies are not what they are good at.

Therefore, Yang Dongxu directly brought together the technicians and production lines of computer manufacturers, otherwise he would not be able to realize his dream of producing all-in-one computers for the time being. However, although it is not possible to produce computers, it is possible to produce computer hard drives, even if the hard drive is only a pitiful 1.2GB in size.

"Can only hard drives be produced?" Yang Dongxu frowned, and glanced at the technical list compiled by Mirov. Although he was prepared before, he was still a little depressed when he thought that computers could only be produced by imitation. But frowning, he suddenly froze for a moment: "How do you say image and sound compression technology in English?"

Seeing this technique, Yang Dongxu seemed to have caught something for a while, but he couldn't tell what it was for a while. It's as if I met an acquaintance whose name is on my lips, but I just can't call it out.

"It should be the Moving Picture Experts Group."

"M-P-E-G" Yang Dongxu frowned even closer, and kept chanting the abbreviation of this technical term. He stood up suddenly while chanting, which shocked Mirov and others.

"Damn it, it turned out to be this thing, and I said why it looks so familiar to me. Is this thing energy-produced?" Yang Dongxu became ecstatic from the previous disappointment.

Isn't MPEG the basic technology for VCD production? In his previous life, his first part-time job was in a factory producing VCDs. The English abbreviation was too familiar to him. At that time, it was in 1995 or 1996.

In short, at that time, the VCD industry was booming. In addition to various big brands, various small factories sprung up like mushrooms, which were even more popular than the current tape production factories.

"This is just an image and sound storage technology that is not very difficult, but whether it can be mass-produced can only be determined after experiments." Mirov carefully discussed the information about this technology and said.

"Then develop this first, stop your work first, and devote all your efforts to research and develop this to produce samples as soon as possible." Yang Dongxu was a little excited and couldn't help himself.

It’s really that you can’t make a painting if you plant flowers intentionally, but you can’t plant willows and willows to make shade. Who would have thought that the technicians recruited by spending a huge amount of money would not be able to produce computers, and finally got out of VCD.

When was the first VCD produced? I can't remember clearly, it seems to be called Wanyan, and it was produced by the Chinese. But if you don’t remember, you don’t remember. As soon as the technology matures, Hu Yang Dongxu will be sure.

"I'm not good at this aspect. I'll transfer the data and take it back to the laboratory to discuss with them. But this technology is not very difficult, and I think there should be results in a short time."

"Then you try to hurry up." Yang Dongxu shook Mirov's hand a little excitedly, asking him to give the result quickly.

After sending Mirov out the door, Yang Dongxu drank several cups of tea before calming down. This calmness made his brows wrinkle again.

Mirov just said that the MPEG technology that made Yang Dongxu very excited is very general, not to set off his own awesomeness, but that this technology is really not difficult, as can be seen from the proliferation of CVD manufacturers in later generations.

Piracy!

These are the two characters that suddenly flashed in Yang Dongxu's mind after he calmed down. It is basically impossible to prevent piracy in the face of interests, but how to protect the peaches on your tree from being picked is a problem that must be carefully considered.

"Are you applying for a patent?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin with his hand.

It is necessary to apply for a patent, but how to apply is a technical task, and it is not only necessary to apply domestically, but also internationally.

It’s just an international application, especially after the successful application in the United States. He can temporarily not worry about foreign patent rights, but domestically, it seems that there is no big difference between applying and not applying. Even if he can use patents to block the more famous BBK, What about the necks of big brands such as Aiduo and Xinke, but those countless small manufacturers?

Moreover, he may not be able to catch the necks of these possible big brands. When the time comes, they will be producing and selling while filing a lawsuit. Can you bite him?

"Damn, this is the technical reserve of the DVD that needs to be prepared, ready to be updated." Yang Dongxu rubbed his forehead and felt a pain in his head. He used to always plagiarize other people's things and felt so refreshed.

When it was his turn that the technology he bought with real money was plagiarized by others, he felt so angry that he would strangle all the plagiarists to death.

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the way of heaven is reincarnation. If you don't believe me, look up, and the sky will spare anyone."

With Yang Dongxu, who has seen VCD bugs with his own eyes, and Mirov, a technical master, the conversion of MPEG technology into physical objects is very fast, and the physical machines and CDs were produced in less than half a month.

The physical machine that appeared in the laboratory was not aesthetically pleasing, with all kinds of threads and original parts exposed, like a stripped robot. But things are ugly, but all kinds of functions are very complete.

When the VCD was connected to the TV that had just been moved in, the TV screen flickered a few times, and the image and sound recorded in the CD were successfully displayed, and everyone in the laboratory was very excited.

Even though this technology is not too advanced in the eyes of these researchers, the transformed entity looks very great, making them feel like they have opened up a new era.

"The picture is not very stable, and there are a lot of noises during playback. Please fix it and prepare for mass production as soon as possible."

"I will sort these out as soon as possible." Mirov said with a smile.

"How long will it take to mass-produce?"

"At least half a year." Mirov thought for a while and said.

"It takes so long?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment. He thought that Mirov would be able to produce the prototype in half a month. Obviously, the technology has matured. For mass production, even if the time for establishing the production line is added, it is estimated to be three months. It should be enough, who would have thought that it would take half a year to make a foundation.

"There is a big gap between the prototypes produced in the laboratory and the mass-produced physical machines. First of all, the cost is a big problem. We spent about 560,000 US dollars to make this small thing. Are you willing to produce it at such a cost? ?”

"So expensive?" Yang Dongxu looked stunned, he knew that research would cost money. But he couldn't imagine that it cost 560,000 US dollars to get a VCD out.

What a joke to use this cost to produce it. According to the official exchange rate, the cost is almost 2 million RMB. With so much money to produce a VCD, is he crazy or the buyer is crazy.
