The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 359 The First Order

After half a month of continuous testing, although there were some minor problems in the middle, they were all solved by Ni Guangnan in time. The next step is to find a way to produce and promote it.

Now that the Internet has not yet begun to spread, there is no market in the civilian field at all, and only major research institutes and universities have this demand.

The first thing Yan Jiecheng thought of was the computing office, so he and Ni Guangnan went directly to Director Zeng with the prototype.

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Ni, who are you two?" Director Zeng saw the two of them coming with something the size of a shoebox, and looked at them with some doubts, not knowing what they were doing here.

"Director Zeng, our company's product has been developed, why don't you bring it here for you to have a look." Yan Jiecheng patted the shoe box while speaking.

"Oh, this is the multi-protocol router you mentioned? Can it connect different networks?" Director Zeng looked at this shoebox-sized thing curiously, and said in disbelief.

After all, the listening function is very advanced. He doesn't believe that such a high-tech thing can be developed in China.

"All the things have been brought, so there can still be fakes. Aren't we just engaged in computers? Try it and you'll know."

"Sure, let's try it." Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Director Zeng nodded and said, he also wanted to see if this thing was as magical as Yan Jiecheng said.

Seeing that Director Zeng agreed, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly asked Ni Guangnan to lead people into action. Everyone didn't even have time to eat lunch, and they were busy until midnight before debugging the equipment. This router was used to connect the computers of various departments in the institute. together.

Director Zeng stared at the computer screen in front of him, looking at the information sent from different departments, he was beyond shocked.

"Mr. Yan, do you have such equipment abroad now?" Director Zeng raised his head and asked Yan Jiecheng.

"This is the only one in the world." Yan Jiecheng replied with a smile.

"Oh, really?" Director Zeng still didn't believe it, so he turned his eyes to Ni Guangnan who was aside. After all, Ni Guangnan had worked in Canada before, so he must know more about foreign affairs than Yan Xiecheng.

Seeing Director Zeng looking at him, Ni Guangnan hurriedly said truthfully: "It is indeed the case, and we have applied for an international patent."

"I'm relieved. In this way, this machine will stay in the institute. Tomorrow, I will invite people from the Academy of Sciences to come over and see if I can apply for a reward or something."

"Okay, that's great, then this machine will stay here, and we'll go back if there's nothing else to do." Hearing Director Zeng's words, Yan Jiecheng said excitedly.

"Don't be in a hurry to go back, you've been busy all day, and you didn't even have time to eat, you have to finish your meal before leaving, otherwise, if word spreads, what should we do?

Xiao Wang, quickly ask the cafeteria to prepare a table of meals, and then call Lao Liu over, and tell him that Mr. Yan and Mr. Ni are here and let him come over to accompany him. " After finishing speaking, Director Zeng instructed Xiao Wang who was on the side.

Seeing Director Zeng being so polite, Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to refuse, and just happened to be hungry, so he went along with the flow and stayed.

Director Zeng led everyone to the box in the cafeteria, and Liu Mouzhi trotted over after a while after sitting down.

"President Yan, Gong Ni, why didn't you say anything when you came over? If I knew you were coming, I would have greeted you at the door anyway." Liu Mouzhi said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, Boss Yan and the others are here today for business, so let's call you here as soon as we're not busy."

"Oh, it's business, what's the matter?" Liu Mouzhi asked suspiciously.

"The product Mr. Yan mentioned before has been developed, that is, the multi-provisioning router. Today, it is mainly brought here for us to have a look and test."

Hearing Director Zeng's words, Liu Mouzhi quickly asked: "Is that the device that can link the LAN?"

"Yes, that's it. It has been tested, and it has fully reached the performance that Mr. Yan told me before. I plan to report to the above tomorrow to see if the above can allocate a sum of money to connect our computer with the Academy of Sciences. "

"This is good news. I'll pay respects to Mr. Yan later." Hearing Director Zeng's words, although Liu Mouzhi made up his mind, he still congratulated with a smile on his face.

At this time, the staff of the cafeteria brought up the food. Yan Xiecheng had eaten something in the morning all day. He was already so hungry that he couldn't care less about being polite, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating in big mouthfuls.

After eating and drinking enough, Yan Jiecheng declined Director Zeng's persuasion, sent Ni Gong and others back to the company, and went home.

The next morning, I received a call from Director Zeng, saying that someone from the Academy of Sciences had come and asked Yan Jiecheng to take Ni Guangnan there.

When Yan Jiecheng and Ni Guangnan arrived, they saw a few old men wearing glasses staring at the router, and there was a circle of people around them.

"Come, come, President Yan, let me introduce you. This is Dean Lu of the Academy of Sciences." Seeing that Yan Xiecheng had arrived, Director Zeng quickly pulled him over and introduced him to several people.

"The original idea of ​​this equipment was proposed by you." Hearing Director Zeng's introduction, Dean Lu turned his head and asked Yan Xiecheng.

"Yes." Yan Jiecheng replied concisely.

"How did you come up with the idea to develop this device?"

Dean Lu was a little curious. He had learned before that Yan Jiecheng didn't study computers. Strictly speaking, he didn't even go to college. He just worked in a steel rolling mill before graduating from junior high school. After the reform and opening up, he went into business.

How could such a person think of developing this kind of equipment? He doubted whether Yan Xiecheng knew computers.

"Our family used to have two 5150s produced by IBM. We accidentally wanted to connect the two computers, and then we found a computing center."

"Okay, now that the equipment has been developed, what are you going to do?"

Dean Lu thought to himself, this luck is too good, why didn't he think of it, and there are so many people in the calculation office.

Yan Jiecheng: "Continue to research and promote to the market."

"This……."

Dean Lu didn't even know what to say, the main reason is that there is no civilian market for this thing, and even if it is used, it is research institutes and universities, or large state-owned enterprises.

He had thought that Yan Jiecheng would contribute the technology and hand it over to the country for production. After all, this thing is not used by ordinary people.

The concept of the Internet has not yet spread to China, and even the United States is just beginning to plan to use Ethernet for civilian use.

Yan Jiecheng knew what Dean Lu was thinking by looking at his expression, but Yan Jiecheng didn't speak.

It's impossible for him to hand over the technology. People like them, even if they make money with the technology, are reluctant to continue investing, so they might as well do it themselves.

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng did not speak, Dean Lu had no choice but to take the initiative to break the deadlock: "Then I don't know how much Yan Boss plans to sell this equipment."

"One set for 10 yuan."

Yan Jiecheng thought for a while that the cost would be more than 2 yuan. To recover the research and development costs, the price should be too low. After all, the current market is too small to form a scale and mass production cannot be achieved.

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's quotation, Dean Lu thought for a while, thinking that it is not too expensive. After all, the price of a personal computer is more than 2 yuan now, and the Lenovo Hanka developed by him will cost more than 6000 yuan. Five [-] yuan.

This price is already very conscientious, and domestic production does not require foreign exchange.

"Connect the computer in the Computing Institute with the Computing Center of the Academy of Sciences. Let your company do the job. Calculate how much it will cost."

"I have to go back and ask the engineering staff to calculate it, but don't worry, as our company's first business order, we will definitely not ask for more." Yan Jiecheng replied happily.

To win this business, it doesn't matter whether you earn money or not, the main thing is that you can play a leading role.

When the time comes to discuss business with major universities, mention the name of the Institute of Computing and the Academy of Sciences, among other things, the success rate will definitely increase by several levels.

After talking about the business, Yan Jiecheng stayed with Dean Lu for a while, introduced some functions of routers, and then drove back to the company to gather everyone and start assigning tasks.

Ten people with poor technical ability were left to assemble the equipment, and the rest continued to develop the next-generation router, and Yan Xiecheng required that the performance of this equipment should be at least ten times higher than that of this equipment.

"Mr. Yan, is this too fast? We have just developed it, and we have to develop the next generation before we start earning money. We must recover the cost of research and development." Yan Jiekuang asked puzzled.

You must know that in order to develop this equipment, their company has invested more than 300 million yuan, and they have to develop the next generation without seeing any money. This, in his opinion, is money to burn.

The other employees also thought so, but no one came forward to say it. When Yan Jiekuang spoke, they all looked over and wanted to hear what Yan Jiecheng would say.

"Time waits for no one. We have to produce one generation and develop the next generation. When we are capable, we will pre-research the next generation. The technology industry updates very quickly, especially for this newly released product, which is slow step by step.

Although we seem to be leading now, it does not mean that other companies cannot catch up. We cannot rest on our laurels and leave no chance for our opponents. "Yan Jiecheng stood at the front desk and said eloquently.

"President Yan is right. If it is not easy for our country to have a world-leading technology, we cannot let other countries catch up because of slack."

Ni Guangnan agrees with Yan Jiecheng's words. After all, he has worked abroad for so many years, and he knows what foreign companies look like.

And he also attaches great importance to this technology. Although the market is not big now, it will definitely develop in the future. After all, this kind of equipment is indispensable to connect the local area network.

"By the way, Mr. Yan, is our company's funds enough to support the development of next-generation equipment?" Seeing that no one objected, Ni Guangnan turned to Yan Jiecheng and asked.

He is not very worried about R&D. After all, he has already entered the door, and it will only be a matter of the speed of progress in the future.

What he is most worried about is that the research and development funds cannot keep up. After all, no one can afford such a large amount of funds without output.

"Don't worry, I've started to build a sales team in the past few days, and I believe the money will come to the account soon." Yan Xiecheng said confidently.

Not to mention the business of the Computing Institute and the Academy of Sciences, as long as the business of the computer rooms of these universities in the capital can be taken down, it will be enough to maintain their company's operations.

Even if the company has no money, it is a big deal to invest by itself. By the end of the year, the franchise fee of the fried chicken restaurant alone will be in the account of several million.

Moreover, Yan Jiecheng also plans to participate in the science and technology exhibition held by Xiaori Country next year, and there will definitely be some income at that time.

The only worry is that the performance of the equipment is not enough. Before that, it is best to develop the second-generation router, and then earn him a lot of money.

After giving orders, Yan Jiecheng went downstairs and drove towards Yan Ziwan's school.

Today their school is on annual vacation, and there are a lot of things to take home. If Yan Jiecheng doesn't go, she has to hire a cart.

Twenty minutes later, Yan Jiecheng came to the gate of Beijing Foreign Language School.

"Yan Ziwan, when will your dad come to pick you up, why don't we send you back home." Several roommates in the same dormitory next to him said.

"It should be soon, as I said before, if I go back, what should I do if my dad comes and can't find anyone?" Yan Ziwan looked down at her watch and said, her eyes were a little anxious, and she couldn't help but start to blame Yan Jiecheng in her heart.

"Here." Yan Jiecheng got out of the car and waved to several people.

"Dad, why did you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Yan Ziwan wrinkled her nose and asked.

"Hey, didn't you just borrow a car, otherwise how could I help you with your stuff?" Yan Xiecheng nonsensically said.

"Hello, Uncle Yan." Yan Ziwan's girlfriends shouted at Yan Jiecheng.

"It's good for you too, by the way. When are you going back after the holiday? Do you want uncle to take you to the station?"

"No, no, we've made up our minds. We won't go home for the New Year today, but we'll stay at school. Anyway, we'll be graduating soon." Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, they quickly waved their hands and declined.

"Okay then, let's go first. If you have time, come and play at home. By the way, come to our house during the Chinese New Year. There are so many people and it seems lively."

"This……."

"That's it. I'll pick you up when the time comes." Yan Jiecheng didn't give them a chance to refuse, and got into the car after mentioning Yan Ziwan's surname Li.

"Dad, why did you go today? You agreed to pick me up at noon." Yan Ziwan sat in the back seat and said to Yan Jiecheng who was in the driver's seat.

"There is something wrong with the company." Yan Jiecheng said while driving the car.

"Dad, why don't I get a driver's license too, and let me drive the car if you need something later."

"You? Let's forget it." Yan Jiecheng shook his head when he heard Ziwan's words.

"What's wrong with me, are you worried that I won't learn?"

"I'm not worried about you, I'm afraid you'll bump someone else up."

Hearing Yan Ziwan's words, Yan Jiecheng immediately thought of those female drivers who used the gas pedal as the brake and wiper blades in the later generations. He was worried about letting Yan Ziwan drive alone. If anything happened, it would be too late to regret it.

"Hmph, I think you are just stingy, and you are reluctant to give up the car to me."

"You can learn to drive, let's forget about driving, and we'll talk about it when you can afford a car." After speaking, Yan Jiecheng ignored Yan Ziwan, but concentrated on driving.
