Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 12 Pain Points of Typists
On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, Lu Feifei immediately called the "Computer World" newspaper office to verify the authenticity of the Chinese card.

Needless to say the result of the verification.

Lu Feifei was so excited that she immediately told her colleagues and leaders the news.

Everyone was very surprised.

Especially those who read the "Computer World" newspaper today were all stunned and shocked, and their scalps were numb from the creative advertisements of Imagination Technology Company.

There is no doubt that all typists long for a Chinese card.

Even if you don't plan to buy it for the typist, then you should consider buying a Chinese card for the leader!

After all, the 5000 yuan Chinese card is a bit expensive, and the computer is even more expensive. After that, it needs to be equipped with a relatively advanced printer that can be connected.

Which unit is willing to match typists with this "three-piece suit"?
Basically impossible.

Typists can only use Chinese mechanical typewriters now.

This kind of typewriter is domestically produced, such as Shanghai Shuangge brand Chinese mechanical typewriter. This product can be called the last glory of movable type printing. The operators who have used this kind of printer in the unit are considered high-tech talents, such as the printer used by Lu Feifei This is the Shuangge brand Chinese mechanical typewriter.

This kind of typewriter has a type plate full of lead type. When you want to type a character, you must first find the word on this "huge" type plate, and then press the lever with your right hand to print the characters on the paper.

This kind of mechanical typewriter is cumbersome and complicated, very error-prone and inefficient.

Therefore, Lu Feifei and others are extremely eager to have a "three-piece suit".

Unfortunately, her dream was shattered.

But she made a contribution to Zhao Ye.

The court in Kyoto quickly sent someone to call Imagination Technology, and ordered 24 Chinese cards, first to meet the needs of the leaders to use the "cards"...

Zhao Ye and Fu Xiaoyue recorded the order amount and delivery address here, and both of them unconsciously showed surprise on their faces.

However, not long after Fu Xiaoyue put down the phone, the phone rang again.

Someone curiously called the phone number of Imagination Technology Company.

The phone kept ringing after that.

Some people, like Lu Feifei, directly dialed the mysterious numbers in the newspaper because of curiosity, and some people learned about Imagination Technology and Hanka through the "Computer World" newspaper.

In short, Imagination Technologies and Hanka are on fire.

Fu Xiaoyue worked until 8 o'clock in the evening before leaving get off work.

Although the majority of people are consulting, there are not many people who are willing to buy, and there are even several customers who placed orders directly, including the court customer, who booked a total of 31 Chinese cards.

Zhao Ye felt that his million-dollar goal was not far away.

Maybe in a week.

Come on!

Zhao Ye! !
……

A week later, Imagination Hanka has become popular in a small area, but it is far from being popular all over the country.

Not to mention the number of people who own computers in this era, and the fact that there are more people who read newspapers but did not make phone calls. Although these people are surprised and puzzled, they still don’t know that the sentence is an advertisement for Imagination Technology.

Up to now, Imagination Technology Company still has only two employees, one is Fu Xiaoyue and the other is Zhao Ye.

But this does not hinder the operation of the company.

Zhao Ye is still waiting for an opportunity, that is, when Imagination Hanka is well-known in the computer circle, he will publish a recruitment advertisement in the newspaper, sincerely inviting the world's heroes to join Imagination Technology Company.

When it comes to recruiting people now, those college students are rebellious and look down on private companies. They would rather go to state-owned enterprises to "eat dirt" and get a monthly salary of tens of dollars. They don't even dare to eat tea eggs casually.

Only by becoming famous can you have followers.

Zhao Ye is in this era, so he knows this very clearly.

And he also tried to recruit people, but the result was not satisfactory.

"As of now, I have received phone orders for a total of 215 Chinese cards, which is a little less than I expected."

At noon, open the window, and the gentle wind blows people warmly.

After these days of contact, Zhao Ye discovered a business opportunity.

"A group of customers who called for consultation did not buy Chinese cards, but it was not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't afford them. Most of these people were engaged in typing-related jobs, such as Lu Feifei from the court. She was a typist. member."

"The Hanka I developed does not need to be updated technically for at least five years. It is already a very mature product. From the end of the 80s to the beginning of the 90s, at this time, the competition of the Hanka was fierce and the profit declined severely. After that , Microsoft released a new Windows system with built-in Chinese character input function, and since then the Chinese card has no use for it. Therefore, there is no need to upgrade the Chinese card in the future, and the Chinese card was already a thing of the past at that time!"

"Right now, I can develop a Chinese typewriter to solve the pain points of typists like Lu Feifei!"

"It seems that the Stone Group in the previous life became the number one IT company in Zhongguancun by relying on Chinese word processors!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ye unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

Although the Chinese word processor is much more complicated than Hanka, it is not too difficult for Zhao Ye.

He can completely independently develop a technologically advanced Chinese processor.

At the same time, Dr. Wang An, who was far away in the United States, became the richest Chinese man by relying on Wang An's word processor.However, the Wang An word processor cannot print Chinese characters and is relatively expensive, so it has not been widely used in China.

The word processor is different from the traditional mechanical Chinese character typewriter. It is a new type of electronic typewriter. It has basic functions such as text input, output, storage and editing. .

Therefore, the new project of Imagination Technology Company has been confirmed. Zhao Ye wants to make a high-quality and cheap Chinese processor. It just so happens that Hanka’s technology can also be applied to this Chinese processor, saving Zhao Ye a lot of development. time.

……

Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Computing.

Ni Annan and others borrowed an Imagination Hanka from another unit.

After installing it on the computer and testing it, I couldn't help being amazed by the phrase association function of Imagination Hanka.

After disassembling it for research, everyone was shocked again.

The structural wiring layout and so on make everyone admire.

"Old Ni, Zhao Ye is really a genius. The Chinese card he developed is a work of art. The motherboard design is extremely perfect. It is almost impossible to use the existing hardware conditions to apply the technology to the extreme. It is really admirable! "Sighed a researcher in the group.

Ni Annan nodded and sighed: "Yes, it's really amazing!"

"Old Ni, if we develop the Chinese card by ourselves, it will take at least three months, but if we learn from the Chinese card invented by Zhao Ye, we can shorten the development time of the project to one month!!!"

Reference is a nice way of saying it, but it is actually copying.

Of course Ni Annan understood what he meant, shook his head and refused: "No!!! This is neither respectful nor legal. As a member of the Academy of Sciences, how can we do such a thing!"

The first "Patent Law of the People's Republic of China" in China was officially implemented on April 1985, 4, so there is no patent law in China at present, and even if it is copied, it is not illegal.Some domestic researchers do not know much about the patent law, but Ni Annan has studied abroad and understands the patent law, and the patent law will be implemented in China sooner or later.

If the Chinese Academy of Sciences plagiarizes other people's designs and technologies and exposes them later, it will be ugly...
