Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 136 Hardware
December 2001, 1 at 24:0.

Fang Zhuo spent the year for the second time.

He couldn't remember how he lived the last time, but it was nothing more than depression and dullness.

He was very happy that this time he was watching the Spring Festival Gala with his sister across the year.

In the early hours of the morning, Fang Zhuo made a wish towards the colorful sky, hoping that he could watch the Spring Festival Gala at home with his healthy sister next year, and celebrate the new year in a few seconds.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the first day of the Year of the Snake in the lunar calendar, Fang Zhuo and his mother Zhao Shumei brought dumplings to the hospital, and then he handed over his mobile phone to his sister.

"I didn't reply to a lot of text messages last night. You can read them for me. I basically marked them with names, so I just take the auspicious words they sent and send them to others." Fang Zhuo found Zhao Suqi something to do.

Zhao Suqi had used her mother's Nokia before, knew the function and operation, and responded obediently after hearing the words.

Fang Zhuo sat next to him, listening to his mother and aunt's parents, and at the same time sketched out the problems and follow-up arrangements for the past few days in his notebook.

Compared with the original intention of establishing Yike to make OEM registration machines, MP3 music players with less technical difficulty are obviously a better choice.

However, the F10, PMP300, and Jukebox players in hand also support MP3 audio format. Why are they not as popular as Ipod?
Is it simply because of being ugly?
Can they combine their advantages together?

The small size of PMP300, the large storage capacity of Jukebox, the...uh...

As the first MP3 music player that should come out, the advantages of F10 up to now may only be groundbreaking in sense.

Fang Zhuo put the groundbreaking at the end for the time being, thinking about the key points of the combination of small size and large storage.

He rubbed the two machines aimlessly, took out their manuals after thinking to no avail, and read the official introduction.

Soon, key words appeared. The manual of PMP300 was only a general introduction, while the manual of Jukebox focused on the advantages of the product. It is an unprecedented player with a 2.5-inch hard drive.

This hard disk can achieve a storage capacity of 6.4G, that is to say, it can store at least a thousand songs in MP3 format, which is far more than that of a Walkman.

But because of this, its size is not very convenient to carry, and it is not small and light enough.

"It seems that the problem is on this hard disk." Fang Zhuo is not sure whether this key point is critical enough, but if the Jukebox in his hand is to be turned into a lightweight machine, the internal components must be reduced.

Fang Zhuo plans to contact the hard disk manufacturer to ask if there is a smaller size storage medium.

In the case of knowing the products of later generations, a smaller hard drive will inevitably appear, but I don’t know when.

"Brother, brother, who is this team leader Zheng? He didn't send a blessing message, but asked about the situation of your registration network." Zhao Suqi asked suddenly.

"Team Leader Zheng? Zheng Danrui, Team Leader Zheng?" Fang Zhuo returned to his senses.

"Correct."

Fang Zhuo took the phone. He had a lot of information last night, and he was not in the mood to check it. He didn't notice that Zheng Danrui also sent himself a message, asking about the development of the website.

He thought carefully for a while, and replied with a concise work report text message.

"Happy New Year, Team Leader Zheng. The registration network has been steadily working in Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province. Since Zhejiang Province has a large number of third-level hospitals in other cities except the provincial capital, the next step will gradually improve the overall laying of Zhejiang Province. Wait until two The work in the province is going well, and the business will be launched in Shanghai within this year, and the target is the entire East China region by the end of the year. Once again, I wish Team Leader Zheng a happy family reunion and a happy new year."

Fang Zhuo read it several times, and felt that there was no problem. With an identity like Team Leader Zheng, he preferred to see the word "steady", but not for the venture capital. They can't wait to spread their business all over the country within a month. TOLL.

He sent the text message and waited for a while without a reply before continuing to think about the player.

Half an hour later, Zheng Danrui's reply came.

"Mr. Fang is happy for the new year. He will take up his duties after the year. If you have any ideas for the construction of the Internet industry, you can actively communicate."

Fang Zhuo stared at the news revealed by the four characters in the middle, and felt that some kind of change might have occurred. Zheng Danrui's promotion and application team seemed to have been established in advance?Does that mean that a higher level of organizational reform has also been carried out?

If this is the case, the reason is definitely not the establishment of Guahao.com, but the early collapse of Top Software Park.

After all, many local governments are involved.

Fang Zhuo made such a guess in his heart, thought for a while, and directly sent a text message to ask: "Guahao.com is willing to operate healthily under the guidance of the government. It involves the basic fields of medical care and people's livelihood. I think there will be natural responses that rely solely on the market. Question, especially for a city with a cutting-edge development like Shanghai, can Team Leader Zheng introduce the relevant leaders of Shanghai to guide the operation of the website?"

To put it simply, Fang Zhuo asked Zheng Danrui, I want to enter Shanghai, do you know anyone?

There was no reply to the text message for a long time.

Fang Zhuo felt a little regretful. He didn't know what the other party was thinking. He spoke from the bottom of his heart and was absolutely willing to let the website run orderly under the eyes of the administration.

"Brother, is this person important? You look so serious." Zhao Suqi observed for a while.

"He is a very important leader. If he can help, it may save a lot of trouble." Fang Zhuo said thoughtfully, "His job content is to promote applications. This kind of busyness should sound appropriate, right?"

Zhao Suqi thought for a while: "It's very appropriate to promote."

"Hahaha, I hope the leader thinks the same way." Fang Zhuo shook his head and handed the phone to his sister again. Then, he hugged the computer on his lap, ready to check which hard disk manufacturers are available today.

On the first day of the new year, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers was still heard from time to time in the ward. Zhao Shumei and Xu Ru, who were chatting by the window, felt very relieved to see the two brothers and sisters busy.

It would be even better if this scene wasn't in the hospital.

For about half an hour, Fang Zhuo copied the e-mail addresses of those manufacturers that were still familiar to him in his notebook. He wrote an inquiry message for hard disk products in English, and planned to send them to major manufacturers one by one.

Western Digital, Seagate, Samsung, Hitachi, Toshiba, Intel... These are basically still famous hard disk manufacturers in later generations.

"Hey, brother, brother, your phone number is Xiaosu's." Zhao Suqi handed over the phone.

Fang Zhuo took it, hey, Xiao Su is very polite, and there is a New Year call.

After the call ended, he passed the phone to his sister.

After a while, my sister's voice sounded again in the ward.

"Brother, your little Yu's."

"Brother, your foreign sister."

"elder brother……"

The phone calls are a bit dense, the voice is gradually strange, and the eyes of the elders are gradually different.

Fang Zhuo calmly responded to all kinds of New Year's call, and returned the most sincere greetings.

After all this, there were replies in the mailbox. Some manufacturers who focus on computer hard disks directly stated that they did not have hard disks smaller than 2.5 inches, and some said that the difference was similar.

Near noon, a new email from Toshiba showed important news. They said they had 1.8-inch hard drive technology and asked about the number of intentions here.

"1.8 inches."

Fang Zhuo gestured with his hand. It was slightly larger than a bank card, and it was an improvement over the hard disk used in the PMP300, but he didn’t know if there was a smaller one.

He did not reply to the email and decided to wait for news from other manufacturers, but he was already thinking about the need to find a professional who understands hardware to measure the level of different electronic components.
