Life 1984

Chapter 225 Developing Black Technology
Shen Xiulan forced a smile and turned to look at Li Yunhai, who was chatting and laughing with others at the main table.

Li Yunfang suddenly thought of something. Although she had not read her eldest brother's letters, Lin Zhi once told her that her eldest brother had a girlfriend when he was at school.Is it Shen Xiulan in front of me?I just don’t know why they broke up?
After the banquet, Li Yunhai arranged for someone to send his father and sister back to his hometown, and took Shao Yuqing back with him.

After seeing off all the guests, Li Yunhai returned to his office at the Changdao Hotel to discuss the new scientific research plan with Professor Ni.

Lin Zhi walked in and saw the two of them talking about work, so she sat down and listened.

Professor Ni suggested to Li Yunhai: "The research of our scientific research institute should be combined with the group's development strategy and positioned in the field of office equipment, especially in the computer field."

Li Yunhai deeply agreed with this and said: "Professor Ni, I have the same idea as you. The future economic growth points of the world will be in high and new technologies."

Professor Ni has been abroad and has a deep understanding of the current status of high-tech development abroad.

As our country lags behind the West as a whole, what we have to do is catch up.

The easiest way is to learn from foreigners and learn from foreigners, which is also called copying the Western technology tree.

What advanced technologies are worth learning from the West?We moved it over, utilized it, and turned it into our own scientific and technological achievements.

Most of the very successful Internet companies in later generations were inspired by the existing technology trees in the West.

Arima went abroad in 1995 and saw the newly established eBay in the United States. He was deeply attracted by this novel and interesting online shopping model. After returning to China, he began to pursue an entrepreneurial path in the same direction.

The original social software QICQ was also invented and created after the ICQ established abroad in 1996.

Online group buying began in 1998. The first group buying website was Mobshop, which was established in the United States.The second group buying website was Groupon, and later there were similar websites in China.

Computers, networks, portals, mobile phones, and other emerging technology products were first introduced into our country from abroad.

In today's globalized world, there are hundreds of countries and regions around the world. Wherever there are emerging good industries, they will be copied and developed by others immediately.

It depends on who can seize the business opportunity first.

For many technologies and products, the inventor may not necessarily make them bigger and stronger, but they will flourish after others learn and copy them.

Just like the gunpowder invented in our country, we used it to make beautiful fireworks and firecrackers, but after foreigners learned it, they used it to make foreign guns and artillery.

Professor Ni has spent several years abroad and is also engaged in microcomputer-related research. He understands the most advanced foreign technologies.

He knew that Li Yunhai had never been abroad, so he kept explaining the current world situation.

In the 80s, with the continuous breakthroughs in new technologies and the promotion and application of their results in production and development, countries around the world recognized the strategic significance of high-tech industries to the country as a whole.Especially in the decade before 1982, the West experienced an economic depression and GDP growth stagnated. With traditional industries stagnant, high-tech industries were maintained at an annual growth rate of more than 15%.

In 1983, the United States announced the "Star Wars Project"; in 1984, Japan formulated the "Basic Policy for Revitalizing Science and Technology"; in 1985, France and Western Europe established the "Eureka Plan", and the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe formulated the "Comprehensive Outline for Scientific and Technological Progress". The introduction of the policy means that a worldwide new technological revolution is emerging.

"Mr. Li," Professor Ni became more and more excited as he spoke, "We should also formulate corresponding science and technology development plans! Develop our own computer industry! The most important of them are chips and systems!"

Why doesn’t Li Yunhai know the importance of chips and systems?
Although he has never been abroad in this life, he also knows the future development trend.

"Professor Ni, your topic is too big. Neither systems nor chips can be achieved overnight. We are just a company, how can we develop the entire computer technology? Of course, we can also study the topics you mentioned, but The top priority is to accumulate initial capital. Without money, all this is just talk. So, I now have a more practical idea."

Li Yunhai knew that Professor Ni was a scientific research fanatic, and he could only guide him to follow his own scientific research ideas.

"I would like to hear the details." Professor Ni may also realize that he is too anxious and Li Yunhai is the leader of the Sihai Group.

Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "Professor Ni, you have been abroad, you must know about inkjet printers, right?"

"Inkjet printer? I know! But it's not as easy to use as a laser printer, and it's much slower."

"Yes, today's inkjet printers are indeed not as easy to use as laser printers, nor are they as popular as laser printers. Laser printers are good in everything, but they have a fatal flaw."

"Oh? What's the disadvantage?"

"Expensive! The price is expensive and the consumables are expensive! Toner cartridges and toners are very expensive, especially color printing. Not to mention ordinary families, even ordinary enterprises cannot afford it. Inkjet printers can reduce printing costs."

"You mean, there will be a market for inkjet printers in the future?"

"There will definitely be a market for products that are in demand. Now that private enterprises and the private economy have developed, a large number of small and micro economies also have a demand for printing and copying. To make printers truly fly into the homes of ordinary people, laser printers will surely No, the price is high and the consumables are sky-high, so small and micro businesses cannot afford it. If we can invent an inkjet printer with reasonable prices and cheap consumables, we can definitely seize most of the mid-to-low-end market."

Laser printers and laser copiers are indeed synonymous with high prices, and it is difficult for individuals to afford them. Even if many small and micro enterprises have needs in this area, they will not buy them because the cost is too high.

Li Yunhai wants to develop a new type of inkjet printer, which is indeed a good scientific research direction.

Printers and computers are incomparable in terms of their working principles and operating mechanisms.It can even be said that it is not an industry at all.

In terms of blood relationship, printers and cameras, projectors or scanners are more closely related.

Printers are office automation equipment and belong to the oa industry. Printers are almost all mechanical parts, while computers basically have no mechanical parts.Printer failures are almost always "mechanical failures" or "optical failures", and problems with the motherboard and system are rare.

Take a laser printer as an example: it includes optical components, developing components, imaging components, as well as fixing components and scanner components.

Inkjet printing technology was proposed as early as 1960, but 16 years later, in 1976, the first commercial inkjet printer was born at IBM.The original IBM4640 was developed by Professor Hertz and his colleagues at the Lutheran Institute of Technology in Sweden, which is called continuous inkjet technology.

The so-called continuous inkjet produces ink droplets in a continuous manner regardless of printing or non-printing, and then recovers or disperses the non-printing ink droplets.However, this technology almost uses droplets to print ink dots on the paper. The effect is as bad as you can imagine, so it has no practical value in reality.

One day in July 1977, Ichiro Endo of the 7nd Laboratory of the Canon Product Technology Research Institute in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, accidentally placed a heated soldering iron on the attachment of an injection needle while conducting experiments in the laboratory. Ink flew out quickly.Inspired by this, Canon invented bubble inkjet technology two years later.

Li Yunhai knows that these are not the ultimate technologies in inkjet printing.

"Micro-piezoelectric" printing technology is the mainstream printing technology in the future!
This is the technology that Li Yunhai asked Professor Ni to lead the Research Institute to develop.

"Professor Ni, the inkjet printers currently on the market have their own shortcomings, and they cannot yet realize color inkjet printing or large-format inkjet printing. Improve inkjet printing technology to achieve color inkjet printing and large-format inkjet printing. , this is the direction we need to study.”

Li Yunhai wants to realize a real reform of printing and printing and change the world structure of the global printing and printing industry!

He has already mastered the right to speak of CCA. If he can also master the patent rights of future inkjet printers, then our country's printers can occupy a place in the world!
Professor Ni pondered for a while and then said: "Inkjet printers have just been launched, and there is indeed room for development. But how do we develop? There must be a research direction."

Li Yunhai knew exactly the direction of the future and pointed out the clear path with a smile: "Micro piezoelectric!"

The piezoelectric element is used to expand or contract deformation characteristics under the action of voltage changes, and the voltage is used to control the deformation of the piezoelectric element to squeeze the ejected ink droplets.Micropiezoelectric printing technology has the advantages of high printing quality, good durability, energy saving and environmental protection, and low overall cost.

Li Yunhai had dealt with these printing equipment in his previous life, often repaired such products, and was very familiar with them.

He also has a clear understanding of the structure of micro-piezoelectric nozzles.

For traditional printers that use thermal foam printing technology, the ink is heated and the water is partially evaporated, causing the nozzle to settle, eventually causing the nozzle to become clogged and unusable.

Micro-piezoelectric printing technology uses physical propulsion, which effectively alleviates the probability of this problem.

This is real black technology!

Anyone who masters this technology can become a dark horse in the printer industry!
A desktop micro-piezoelectric printhead contains hundreds or thousands of nozzles.Engineering-grade large-format printers and digital printing presses contain multiple micro-piezoelectric chips, and the number of nozzles reaches thousands.The micro-piezoelectric ceramics at the back of the nozzle are extremely small and precise. Its production requires precision manufacturing, and the inkjet control of piezoelectric ceramics also requires precision integrated circuits.

Therefore, even in later generations, there are only a handful of brand manufacturers that have mastered micro-piezoelectric inkjet technology.

In order to have a say in printing technology, Li Yunhai invested heavily in the development of micro-piezoelectric printing chips.

"Professor Ni, micro-piezoelectric printing chips are not complicated. I have a general idea, but I don't know how to implement it."

He has an idea and a blueprint, and he just needs to leave it to professional talents to develop it.

Li Yunhai took a notebook and opened one page.

There is a picture drawn on the paper.

"This is the structural diagram of the micro-piezoelectric printing chip." Li Yunhai said calmly, "This is my general idea. Can you see if it can be realized?"

Professor Ni took the notebook with a solemn expression and studied the picture carefully.

An unusual brilliance flashed on his face and he asked: "Mr. Li, how did you come up with this?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "I just figured it out. I like to dismantle various electrical appliances and then figure out their structures. I have disassembled and studied several inkjet printers on the market, and found that the shortcomings are very obvious. , so I came up with this design.”

Professor Ni adjusted his glasses and said in admiration: "Oh, Mr. Li, you are definitely a genius! If we can really develop it successfully, we can be ahead of other countries in the field of printers!"

"Far ahead!"

"Yes, definitely far ahead."

"Professor Ni, the idea I proposed can definitely be realized. The biggest question is, do we have the ability to manufacture such precision chips?"

Professor Ni thought for a while and said: "This is not difficult. Even though it is a precision chip, we can produce it with our domestic technology. Even if some machine parts need to be imported, they can also be purchased from abroad."

Li Yunhai said: "Great! Professor Ni, I will invest 1000 million first and ask you to lead the scientific research team and do your best to develop micro-piezoelectric printing chips."

Professor Ni is a scientific research maniac. When he was working in Canada, he saved money and used the money he saved to buy a lot of components and return to China. He used the components he brought back to successfully develop Hanka technology.

Last time, Li Yunhai gave Professor Ni 100 million yuan to develop the Sihai computer typewriter.

Professor Ni spent hundreds of thousands on research and succeeded, and he used all the remaining money to purchase advanced foreign components.

This is a man who is obsessed with scientific research and technology. In his life and mind, there is only scientific research.

Without Li Yunhai's intervention, Professor Ni would still be renting a house decades later.

To some extent, there is really only a thin line between genius and madness.

Professor Ni and Peng Dianzi are both people obsessed with a certain thing.Professor Ni became a genius, and Peng Dianzi became a madman.

Li Yunhai solved Professor Ni's worries, provided funds, and pointed out the direction of research, allowing Professor Ni to concentrate on scientific research.The two talked for a whole afternoon, discussing micropiezoelectric printing technology.

After Professor Ni left, Lin Zhi smiled and said, "You guys are really good at talking! I've never seen you have so much to say when we were together."

Li Yunhai took a sip of tea and said, "Professor Ni and I really met each other so late! Well, are we off work?"

"I've been waiting for you! My mother's birthday is today, and we will go there for dinner tonight."

"Oh, if you didn't tell me earlier, hurry up and leave. I still have to buy a cake for auntie. Is the pastry shop closed?"

"I've already ordered a decorated cake from Sullivan's. Just wait and pick it up."

"You are still thoughtful. Sullivan's cakes are delicious. They even made Grandpa Mao's birthday cake."

After getting off work, the two went to Sullivan's Pastry Shop to pick up a birthday cake and some gifts before heading to Lin's house.

Today happens to be Sunday, Lin Zhenbang and Tang Yuxia are both at home, and Lin Zhi's grandparents are here.

Lin Xiaofeng and Amy had come here long ago and were helping Tang Yuxia cook together.

"I'm just waiting for you two!" Grandpa Lin said with a smile, "Li Yunhai, you established a company today. This is a huge happy event! Grandpa is old and has inconvenient legs and feet. Please forgive me for not going to congratulate you. I have prepared a red envelope. Seek good luck."

Li Yunhai walked up to Grandpa Lin, bent down and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you don't have to be so polite."

Grandpa Lin took out a red envelope and put it in his hand: "I know you are not short of money. Please give it a try. Take it."

Li Yunhai took it, said thank you to grandpa, and said, "Shall I play chess with grandpa?"

Grandpa Lin laughed and said, "I'm just waiting for you to play chess. Xiaozhi, take out the military chess and put it on the table."

Lin Zhi agreed, found the military chess pieces from the high and low cabinets, helped them arrange them, and then went into the kitchen to help.

Amy sat over curiously and watched them play chess.

Seeing her interest, Li Yunhai taught her while playing chess.

The system of military chess is easy to understand, and the rules are easy to learn. You can master it once you teach it.

Amy watched them play a game of chess and said, "I'll play a game too."

Grandpa Lin gave up his seat: "Come on, Amy, come on down."

Amy sat opposite Li Yunhai, and the two of them faced each other.

As soon as she learned it, she was naturally no match for Li Yunhai.

"It's fun! Let's play another game." Amy smiled, "I haven't played this chess piece in Italy. I played Monopoly and Ludo."

Lin Xiaofeng and Lin Zhi came out with the food and put it on the table, saying that you should stop and eat first.

Li Yunhai took out the decorated cake and lit the candles.

Everyone sat around the dining table, sang happy birthday together, and wished Tang Yuxia a happy birthday.

Tang Yuxia made a wish, blew out the candles, and said with a smile: "The first time I ate cake was on my 10th birthday. My dad also bought Sullivan's cake. The cake was very expensive at that time and cost my dad more than half of his savings. .Dad, isn’t it?”

Grandpa Linzhi didn't look old, he was energetic and said with a smile: "Do you still remember? You were still young at that time, I thought you wouldn't remember!"

Tang Yuxia looked at her parents and said, "My biggest wish is that you can be by my side every year on my birthday."

Li Yunhai suddenly thought that his mother's birthday was coming soon!My mother has not tasted the cake yet, so she will buy one to take home for her birthday.

After dinner, everyone sat and chatted for a while, and played a few games of chess until nine o'clock.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi returned home.

Guo Wanhua and Shi Wenyin were not asleep yet. They were sitting on the sofa watching TV. They didn't know what program they watched. They were very close to each other, as if they were hugging each other for warmth.

As soon as the door rang, Shi Wenyin called out: "You guys are back! We watched a ghost movie, it was so scary!"

Li Yunhai changed his shoes and came over and sat down next to Guo Wanhua.

Guo Wanhua sat with her legs pressed on the sofa. When she saw him coming, she put her feet down.

Her feet swept past Li Yunhai and touched Li Yunhai's hand.

When Li Yunhai touched her feet wearing silk stockings, he felt they were unusually soft and couldn't help but glance at her.

Guo Wanhua pursed her lips and smiled: "I will go back to Huacheng tomorrow. Are you free to accompany me?"

Li Yunhai pondered and said: "Sister Guo, how about waiting a few more days? I will arrange things here and then go to Huacheng with you? Huacheng is going to set up a branch, open a Sihai store and a Sihai computer school. We will try to open a branch in Huacheng. The establishment work was completed before the year.”

Guo Wanhua said: "I think so too. If we don't hurry up, the New Year will be over."

Lin Zhi cut some fruits and brought them over, and asked: "Yunhai, should I come with you?"

She is now the HR manager of Sihai Group. She has great freedom and convenience no matter where she goes, and she does not need to ask for leave from anyone.

Li Yunhai said: "You can go if you want! I'm in charge of recruiting people."

Guo Wanhua smiled and said: "I know that you two are inseparable and inseparable. The real thing is that they are inseparable."

Lin Zhi smiled shyly: "Sister Guo, please stop teasing me."

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, then went upstairs to rest.

Lin Zhi was half lying on the bedside and said: "Yunhai, the employees of the group now live in the factory dormitory area, which is too far away from the Changdao Hotel. It is very inconvenient for them to commute to and from work. And there are so many managers who can't even find a decent apartment." No, they also complained quite a bit. They have heard about the building you bought for the institute to use as a dormitory, and they said it was too unfair. Isn’t it possible that the scientific researchers are all golden pimples and the administrative staff are all straw clay figures? "

Li Yunhai put down the book in his hand and said, "I also thought of this, but I was just too busy to think about it so thoroughly."

Lin Zhi smiled and said: "I think you are not too busy, you just treat them differently. When you buy a building for scientific researchers, why don't you buy one more? Isn't it just a matter of convenience?"

Li Yunhai burst into laughter and said, "Okay, okay, it was my mistake. I will buy another one tomorrow to use as a dormitory for the group's employees."

Lin Zhi thought of something: "Did Shen Xiulan move into a new house today?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask her." Li Yunhai just thought of this and said, "I gave her the key. I also showed her the door."

"Oh, she must have moved here, right? We were busy celebrating my mother's birthday, but we forgot about it. She is moving alone, and I don't know if she is tired? Do you want to go and see her?"

"It's so late, let's talk tomorrow!"

"It's not even ten o'clock. It's not too late. She must not have slept. You might as well give her a red envelope! She has moved to a new house after all!"

"Then let me take a trip?"

"Go quickly! Please explain, just say that it was my mother's birthday and I didn't go to help her move."

Li Yunhai got out of bed, got dressed, took the car keys and went out.

He closed the door and saw Guo Wanhua walking out.

"Yunhai, where are you going?" Guo Wanhua asked.

"I went to Shen Xiulan's house to have a look. She was moving today and I just remembered. Sister Guo, what are you doing?"

"I wasn't full after dinner, and suddenly I was very hungry. I wanted to go downstairs to find something to eat."

"Stop looking for it. I'll bring you some midnight snacks later."

"No, I'll just wash an apple and eat it."

Li Yunhai turned on the light in the stairwell, and the two of them went downstairs together.

Guo Wanhua wore a set of silk pajamas and a cotton jacket. Her figure followed the wind, and her body was fragrant.

"Yunhai, you can leave later." Guo Wanhua said with a smile, "I watched a ghost movie and was a little scared."

She took the apple, smiled brightly, and walked upstairs.

Li Yunhai watched her exquisite and graceful back disappear at the top of the stairs before going out.

He drove and arrived at the dormitory area of ​​Tianhua Building in a few minutes.

The Tianhua Building Management Company has been established. Many members of this team will also be the management of Tianhua Hotel in the future. Many of the personnel recruited must undergo preliminary training, so the personnel have been recruited in advance.

There are many people living in the dormitory area.

Li Yunhai got out of the car and looked at the lights in the room on the second floor. Sure enough, he saw the lights on in Shen Xiulan's room and knew that she had moved here.

The wind is freezing.

Li Yunhai tightened his collar and hurried upstairs.

　Second, ask for a monthly pass.
