Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 3 Who is better than whom?

Zhongguancun originated from Zhongguancun Electronics Street.

There are various electronic stores lined up on this street.

After Zhao Ye got the pre-sale letter of intent, he took the bus to Zhongguancun non-stop.

……

Arriving in Zhongguancun, Zhao Ye went straight to Electronic Street.

As soon as I arrived at the intersection, I vaguely heard a song coming.

"Although the dress is worn
My heart is still Chinese
My ancestors have given me everything

branded with Chinese seal

Yangtze Great Wall Huangshan Yellow River
weight in my heart

anytime, anywhere
as dear as my heart”

In 1984, Xiangjiang artists appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and the song "My Chinese Heart" moved countless people.

This song then became popular all over the country.

Yao Zhifang is in the electronics business, mainly selling radios.Hasn't "My Chinese Heart" become popular recently?So he would play this song on a loop in the store every day to attract the attention of passers-by.

Some time ago, an old man said a word.

"Computer popularization should start from baby".

Yao Zhifang immediately realized that there would soon be an upsurge of learning computers in China.

Therefore, he immediately purchased a batch of computers and computer-related electronic components through his connections to sell.

In the 80s, people who dared to start a business in the sea were not only very courageous, but also very shrewd. Yao Zhifang was such a person.

Zhao Ye was attracted by the singing, and subconsciously looked at "Yao Electronics".

There are a number of signs hanging at the door, introducing the main sales products of Yao's electronics store: computers, radios, tapes...

When Zhao Ye saw computers being sold in the store, he was slightly taken aback, thought for a moment and then walked towards the store.

Yao Zhifang saw Zhao Ye walk into the store, and immediately stood up to greet him with a smile, and asked, "Hello, what do you want to buy?"

Zhao Ye didn't answer right away, his eyes scanned the shop.

Seeing the computer memory on the shelf, I nodded secretly. Hanka is actually an expansion card that solidifies the Chinese character input method and its driver into a memory, so the core component of Hanka is the memory.

The manufacturing technology content of the memory is relatively high, and most of them are imported from abroad, and the price is relatively expensive.

Of course, there are also chip processors.

Since the owner of this store can sell computers, he naturally has some contacts and connections.

Zhao Ye wasn't sure that this store also sold memory and chip processors, but he just had a little luck, and he didn't expect his luck to be so good.

As for other components of Hanka, such as circuit boards, they can also be produced in China, and the price is very cheap, so it is not difficult to find.

"How do you sell this EPROM memory?" Zhao Ye pointed to the memory on the shelf and asked.

EPROM, invented by Israeli engineers, is a computer storage chip that retains data even when power is turned off.

Write the Chinese character library and program into EPROM, and then inlay it on the circuit board, which is basically a Chinese card.Of course, debugging is still required.If you are lucky, you will succeed once.

But the so-called luck is actually a manifestation of strength.

As long as the technical strength is strong, basically the first debugging will be successful.

Zhao Ye is quite confident about this.

After all, the Hanka game is still a relatively advanced thing now, but after three to forty years, it will become an extremely simple thing.

In fact, a few years later, a college student who studies computer can complete the design of Hanka by himself, just like Shi Yuzhu of Giant Group.

Only buy EPROM chips?

Yao Zhifang was a little disappointed. Although this game also made money, he didn't directly sell computers for huge profits.

"35 yuan each!" Yao Zhifang replied seriously despite his enthusiasm.

When Zhao Ye heard the price, the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

His monthly salary is exactly 70 yuan, and he can only buy two...

However, the capacity of EPROM chips in this era is very low. Zhao Ye needs to use many EPROM chips to write Chinese character fonts and programs into it.

"Boss, can the price of each EPROM chip be lower? I buy more."

"Oh, how many are you going to buy?" Yao Zhifang couldn't help asking, his eyes lit up.

At this moment, Zhao Ye unhurriedly took out a document from his briefcase, which seemed to be four or five pages long. This document was nothing but the letter of intent to purchase the Chinese Card he signed with the XC branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

"I don't know the specific data, but there are a lot of them! This is the contract I signed with the ICBC XC branch, and it will be extended to major banks all over the country! Therefore, I need to use a lot of EPROM chips!" Zhao Ye said lightly. Dao, opened the letter of intent to purchase, and pointed out to Yao Zhifang the content that Industrial and Commercial Bank of China wanted to purchase the Chinese Card. As for the other content... Uh, the details are not important, so I will not read it.

As long as you know that you cooperate with ICBC.

Yao Zhifang's expression was startled, he was obviously taken aback by Zhao Ye pulling the tiger's skin to pull the banner.

He didn't understand the purchase letter of intent, and thought that the letter of intent was a formal contract signed by Zhao Ye and ICBC, with ICBC's seal on it, so it couldn't be faked.

Yao Zhifang couldn't help being a little shocked.

"Boss, what's your surname, I'm sorry just now, I'm really neglecting you, please sit down!" Yao Zhifang immediately put on a smiling face and greeted enthusiastically.

"My name is Zhao Ye."

"Oh, it's Boss Zhao, hello, hello, I'm Yao Zhifang, the owner of this store.

"Boss Zhao, you are able to reach a cooperation with ICBC at a young age. You really are a good-looking talent! By the way, Boss Zhao, dare to ask what this Chinese card is, and ICBC is willing to purchase it in large quantities?" Yao Zhifang couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Curious, he asked.

Zhao Ye smiled when he heard this, and then introduced the Chinese card to Yao Zhifang in detail.

Yao Zhifang sells computers, so he will naturally help Zhao Ye sell Chinese cards in the future, so Zhao Ye is also very hardworking in introducing them.

"The Chinese card is an expansion card that solidifies the Chinese character input method and its driver into a memory. Simply put, it is to insert the Chinese card into the computer, and then you can type Chinese characters on the computer!"

After hearing this, Yao Zhifang was shocked, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He sells computers, so he is very clear about the meaning of Hanka.Many people came to buy computers, but finally chose to give up because they could not input Chinese characters.

"If my shop can sell Chinese cards, the business must be booming!!"

Yao Zhifang's eyes lit up, and he looked straight at Zhao Ye, as if the person in front of him had become a golden cash cow.

"Boss Zhao, I can help you sell the Han Card, what do you want?" Yao Zhifang said straight to the point.Opportunity is rare, not much nonsense, he must seize the time to seize this opportunity.

"No problem!" Zhao Ye nodded with a smile.

If someone helps sell Chinese cards, I wish for them.

Now, he has just started from scratch, and he is not allowed to engage in direct sales in all aspects.

"Haha, thank you, Boss Zhao, for taking care of us. We will all make a fortune together in the future!" Yao Zhifang was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Ye's happy promise. Thinking of Zhao Ye's coming to his shop to buy EPROM chips, he couldn't help asking, "Boss Zhao, what is this?" Does Hanka use EPROM chips?"

Zhao Ye nodded: "Yes!"

Yao Zhifang patted his chest and said generously: "Boss Zhao, since we are a cooperative relationship, then if you come to me to buy EPROM chips, I will definitely give you the best price!"

Zhao Ye said with a smile: "Then thank you, Boss Yao!"

"Boss Zhao, you are too polite. I should be the one to thank you for taking care of my business! Oh, by the way, Boss Zhao, do you need any other accessories for making Hanka? See if I have them here, yes If so, you can purchase together, saving you the hassle of having to buy elsewhere.”

Zhao Ye couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, who said that people in this era are simple?This f*cking guy is so smart, he sees every opportunity, and sells his own products whenever he gets the chance...

But that's exactly what I want!
Zhao Ye snickered.

Immediately, he said: "Since Boss Yao is such a friend, then I am also a friend!

"Look at this list. On it are all the electronic components I need to make Hanka. If you can purchase all of them, then I will leave them to you..."
