Siheyuan starts from the stationmaster

Huo Jianning said: "The first is the problem of raw materials. With the expansion of the company's scale, it is necessary to have its own raw material base, such as a breeding farm; there is also the problem of transportation. It is necessary to establish its own logistics system; localized operations are also a very difficult task. The problem."

Bai Zirui said: "Modern chicken farms must be built, and we will choose a suitable place according to the situation; to establish a logistics company, transportation is not very difficult, and we can build more cold stores in various places; as for localization, we can learn from KFC model to build a local R&D team.”

The new store in Harbor City opened for three days, and its turnover profit became the first among the 6 stores.Bai Zirui turned his attention to the development of Dingtian Group Company. Ni Guangnan also rushed to Xiangjiang from the mainland after the Lantern Festival, and the computer development of Dingtian Computer Company was put on the agenda.

In addition to Ni Guangnan, there is the arrival of Shen Wangfu, the pioneer of personal computer sound system. Born in Malacca, Malaysia in 1955, he completed his secondary education in Singapore and then entered Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore to obtain a Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

According to the development of the original historical track, in 1981, Shen Wangfu and several of his friends started a business together.At that time, they opened a computer company in Gudinna Shopping Center, which was a well-known innovative technology company in the industry in the previous life, responsible for adding computer storage boards to the Apple computers they sold.

After that, Innovation Company started to improve the computer business, and gradually realized Chinese pronunciation. This invention enabled Innovation Technology to have its own product, namely "Sound Blaster".

Eight years later, after many years of research and development, Shen Wangfu finally sold the first sound card in the beautiful country after several twists and turns.

Since then, the sales of Sound Blaster cards have been out of control, with a total of 4 million pieces sold worldwide, accounting for more than 70% of the market, and "Sound Blaster" has become the standard for all sound card products.

In this regard, Innovative Technology established the technical standards of the personal computer audio industry, making it bid farewell to the silent era, and Shen Wangfu was also dubbed the "Father of Multimedia".

Shen Wangfu, who was still young at this time, could not compare to the rich and solid experience of Ni Guangnan and Zhu Bangfu. Of course, he was not so awesome. After all, any technical master has a growth stage.

Bai Zirui has designed the first computer to be researched by Dingtian Computer Company. Strictly speaking, this computer is more similar to a word processor. The computer has built-in WordEasy, CGrid and the office electronic graphic form software that the software company is developing. RoyalTek-1, which has covered most of the functional requirements of small and medium-sized companies.

The project entrusted by Dingtian Game Company is to hope that the semiconductor laboratory can further optimize the design based on the core of the original 6502cpu, so that the new processor is more suitable for running games.This project was approved by Dr. Cai Kang and became the first project to open after the trial operation of the two laboratories.

The electronic laboratory and semiconductor laboratory of Xiangjiang University funded by Dingtian Group have been officially launched and started to accept project applications.In addition to accepting applications, the laboratory will also release a series of targeted scientific research projects according to the commission of Dingtian Group.

He was also changed by Bai Zirui. Bai Zirui entrusted Standard Chartered Bank to acquire the innovative company founded by Shen Wangfu and his friends, and invited them to Xiangjiang.

Dingtian Game Company commissioned the semiconductor laboratory, and the first research project released was the design topic of MOS6502 processor.Dingtian Group Co., Ltd. has reached an agreement with Pretty Country MOS Technology Co., Ltd. After paying a license fee, it has successfully obtained the in-depth authorization of all patents of the 6502 processor. Based on the MOS 6502 CPU, it can develop games that are more suitable for its own. the cpu.

The 6502 processor is the processor used by Dingtian Game Company's first generation arcade board, but it is not a processor specially designed for games.The solution designed by the semiconductor laboratory integrates a series of peripheral components suitable for game operation on the basis of retaining the 6502cpu core, including an interrupt controller, a memory management unit, a timer, and an eight-bit parallel I/O port. and a programmable sound generator.

With the addition of Ni Guangnan and Shen Wangfu, and Bai Zirui entrusting HSBC to acquire Zhu Bangfu's Lingyi Company, his puzzle of hardware and software technology in computer processing of Chinese character information is complete.

Bai Zirui named the first computer developed by Dingtian Computer Company as the Shenzhou-1 computer. He has many ready-made solutions in his mind. The hardware design of the computer and game console is progressing smoothly, but he has encountered some obstacles in terms of software. , such as support for Chinese characters and Japanese, Bai Zirui, as a reborn person, knows the right direction to solve the problem, and the time and resources consumed by the project can be controlled relatively clearly.

The three softwares are directly stored in the read-only memory, which can not only speed up the operation efficiency, but also effectively prevent piracy, but the software upgrade is a bit troublesome.

Intel has developed an electronically erasable programmable read-only memory, namely EEPROM, which can omit the trouble of EPROM needing to be removed from the circuit board to be rewritten by ultraviolet radiation. It takes several minutes to erase and write directly through voltage, which is very difficult for software maintenance. convenient.

The mainstream read-only memory that supports erasing and writing functions on the market is erasable programmable read-only memory, that is, EPROM. When rewriting the data inside, the circuit board needs to be removed, and ultraviolet radiation is carried out through the reserved quartz window. Time-consuming may reach the order of hours.

The new processor has a logical addressing space of 64kb and a physical addressing space of 2mb.Since the 6502 is an eight-bit processor, the width of the internal registers is also eight bits, and the width of the address bus is larger.Therefore, in order to access the entire address space, a segmented addressing mode is specially designed for the new processor, and a memory management unit is used to divide the memory into multiple 8kb segments.

As for directly integrating a programmable sound generator in the cpu, the subsequent design of the game motherboard can directly cancel the sound chip, which can further reduce the cost of the hardware. Bai Zirui approved the design plan of the semiconductor laboratory.

Through this plan, Bai Zirui learned about the strength of Professor Yao Zhaoming's team. He asked the company's human resources department to have a detailed understanding of the situation of the members of Professor Yao Zhaoming's team, and made a specific and detailed poaching plan.

The R&D center of Dingtian Group has two big cats and two kittens, and its scientific research ability is almost zero. After preliminary screening by the two laboratories, all the application projects submitted to Dingtian Group need to be checked by Bai Zirui himself, and there is an urgent need to quickly expand the capacity of the R&D center scientific research team.

There is a serious shortage of science talents in Xiangjiang, and the existing excellent talents are basically concentrated in the three institutions of Xiangjiang University, Zhongda University, and Institute of Science and Technology. Dingtian Group can basically catch all of them through industry-university-research cooperation.The company has begun to look beyond Xiangjiang, focusing on Bay Bay, Singapore, John Country, Pretty Country and Wa Country.
