Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 773 The Conflict Between Logo and Phelps
"Floppy disk, choose Sony! Later, I will contact my friends in Japan, and I should be able to get a lower quotation than this!"

After lamenting that the technological iteration of the hard disk is as fast as a heifer riding a rocket, Carter also looked at the floppy disk pragmatically.
Compared with hard disks that cost thousands of dollars at every turn, if you want to suppress the price, you can only consider floppy disks.

And the cost difference between the two, how to describe it?
Probably back then, when Shugart had just made the size of the floppy disk to 5.25 inches, the floppy disk terminal was priced at $390, which was already extremely expensive!
And then, it was 1976.Today, after Sony has expanded the specification of floppy disks to the common standard size of 3.5 inches in later generations, they have just increased the storage size of floppy disks to 1MB this year.
After nearly seven years, the preparation technology of floppy disks has become more and more perfect.Carter guessed that even Sony's 1MB floppy disks would cost about $200 in bulk.or even lower.
After all, behind Sony is our old acquaintance: Mitsui!
Damn, if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face!

Not to mention how much Mitsui Fudosan has made from my own existence, now I have a loan from Mitsui Bank on my back!Don't let us earn more, believe it or not? !
Compared with the old 5MB hard disk, the cost of the latest floppy disk is four times higher.Moreover, this one is a well-known big company, and the other is just a little-known Shugart technology.
Um?Strangely, the ST on the product model code always looks familiar to Carter.
"Okay, then you will be responsible for the purchase of the floppy disk. Are you almost ready now? Oh, yes, for the electronic engineer, I ask my fourth uncle to help you pay attention. Let him entrust his friends to help pay attention For graduates of related majors, it is best to find one or two professors as the backbone."

"Well, you must have a professor! Anyway, you have to get a Ph.D. The salary can be higher, no problem! Not short of money!"

After making a small joke, Carter also talked about outsourcing software orders in India.After interoperability, all that remains is to check the delivery time of the Indian outsourcer and Microsoft, the operating system supplier.
And the time is set, the factory construction and production equipment procurement are prepared in advance, and the problem of technical team configuration is in place!
The assembly plant is located in Inker Town; the customization plant is located in La Freddy; the core motherboard production plant is located in Marquette, another small city in Coffey County. Oh, yes, there must be a plate cutting plant , that is, the chassis manufacturing factory, which is simultaneously equipped with an appearance design center.
Since it is a market that focuses on young people, no matter how the performance is, the appearance must be cool!

Silently planning in his heart, allocating the production plants of this computer manufacturing company to the entire county of Coffey, Carter drew the logo that he loved and hated in his previous life on the paper.
Cross out the prodigal eye!

Kingdom of Players! !
"Is this the logo you designed?"

The sharp eye-catching logo, silver-white eyebrows, and scarlet eyes, combined with the dark background, look aggressive!It is very easy to poke the appreciation for the aesthetics of violence hidden in the boys' hearts.
In today's environment where simple fonts are mostly used as logos, Rick fell in love with this highly recognizable logo at just one glance!

"That's right, every computer in the future will have this logo on it! Well, the main board must also be on it. I plan to design a split main board. Forget it, it's useless to tell you about it. I'll arrange it later. Come on. Help me think about it, what is a better name?"

"Huh? Why?!"

After bickering for a few words, Carter didn't have any good ideas for a while.This topic was then shelved.
Looking at the white clouds outside the porthole, I reckoned that it was almost time to New Haven. I remembered that I would go to pick up the group of juniors I recruited later, as well as the quality supervision of the orientation work on the board of directors.
"Hey, after we land, help me go to the Nathan Hale Camp, and let our people, after training, don't go back to the dormitory to change clothes, just wear combat uniforms, and come directly to the Phelps gate to gather! "

This is not a plagiarism of ASUS's idea, and I feel uneasy.Purely, computers of this age are still functional!Function!Function first! !

"You know, I recruited a lot of Asian students this time! Not Asian, but Asian students"

Rick was a little confused, while Carter was full of helplessness
It can't just be called the Kingdom of Gamers, or the Republic of Gamers, Republic of Gamers, right? !

"Who stipulates that the name must be thought out when designing a logo?"

The turning point of this topic was a bit big, and Rick couldn't react for a while.

"I shouldn't have counted on your creativity!"

The game software can’t even be sold at a high price. Isn’t your whole computer with a game name going against the market? !

"No, you have designed your fucking logo, but you didn't think of a name?!"

"Then, Black Technology?"

"I know, so what? What does this have to do with ROTC? International students can only sit in on it, unless they become American citizens."

"No, you're thinking wrong, it's not promoting rotc, it's because I'm worried that they will fight!"

Rick: .
Come to think of it, students from China, Japan and South Korea join together, wouldn't it be exciting? !
As the so-called Sino-Japanese friendship depends on South Korea, China-South Korea friendship depends on Japan, Japan and South Korea friendship Japan and South Korea have never had friendship.
At least for now, there shouldn't be any!After all, South Korea's current semiconductor industry, including the textile industry, etc., is now grabbing Japan's jobs.
Although I don't know if the 80s is like the situation mentioned in the joke.But these three groups of people got together, and instinctively made Carter feel a little uneasy
After all, this group of people is not the second or third generation of Asian immigrants who have been Americanized.It is pure foreign students, in the cultural environment where they grow up, the contradiction
Hey~
Really, fuck my heart!
With a sudden rise of anxiety, under Rick's confused expression, he finally waited until the plane landed at New Haven Airport.Hurriedly boarding the car that Manfred came to pick up the plane, the three rushed to Yale University
When approaching the campus, both sides of the street became lively!
Not to mention the obvious increase in traffic flow, the flow of people on the street has also increased a lot, and many businesses have put up event posters similar to "Big Deal for New Students", waiting for these ignorant "fat Sheep come to the door to be slaughtered
And when the vehicle drove into the campus, the excitement of the celebration became even stronger!

Just like when I first came to Yale two years ago, there are groups of students everywhere on York Street and Elm Street.Or carry luggage, or accompany parents, visit the campus under the guidance of old student guides, laughing and laughing all the way.
But when the vehicles of several people approached the Phelps gate, when he saw the circle outside the window surrounded by the gate, as if they were watching the excitement, Carter's heart skipped a beat.
"You Japanese are really enough! Everyone is here to study, and they will be classmates in the future. They are dressed in dirt now, but what about the future?"
