Reborn since 1993

Chapter 588: Left foot steps on right foot, ascending to heaven on the spot
Charging training fees is a quick way to make money, but there is a ceiling. In the past, Yanda Blue Bird had overwhelming advertisements, but they only lasted a few years before it ruined its own brand and destroyed itself.

Li Dongling established an IT training center to help Kingsoft raise funds so that it would not continue to lose money.

But the most profitable thing for this training center is to train more talents and then contract domestic and overseas software outsourcing business!

Once Pingyang IT Training Center has enough talents, it can try to outsource domestic and overseas website construction, software development, remote maintenance, after-sales, customer service and other services.

If we can do these businesses well, we can generate billions of dollars in revenue each year. Isn't that more cost-effective than shelling out a small amount of money for training?
If the reputation of the training center is ruined because of a small training fee, and the outside world is afraid of Pingyang IT Training Center, it would be a loss!

"The training center cannot be rushed. The most important thing is to train enough talents so that we can try to establish a software outsourcing center in the future!"

Li Dongling said to Chen Feizhou, using him to tell Kingsoft, New Oriental and Founder that there is no time to rush.

After explaining everything to Chen Feizhou, the latter left. As for Jinshan, Dongling Hi-Tech must be protected and must not be allowed to fall.

Whether it is optimizing the system and hardware compatibility of Shenzhou computers for Dongling Hi-Tech this time, or software optimization, or developing more software in the future, it is inseparable from the technical experts of Kingsoft.

With Kingsoft around, Dongling Hi-Tech will definitely benefit more than harm it. We can even say that if we make the worst-case scenario, one day Dongling Hi-Tech will be targeted by America and Microsoft's operating system will no longer be authorized for use by Dongxin Semiconductor and Shenzhou.

When Dongling Hi-Tech develops a new backup computer operating system, it will also need Kingsoft's full support.

Only by being prepared can you avoid danger. You cannot put all your hopes on others, or even your opponents. What's the difference between that and having your life in the hands of others?
Not only in terms of hardware, Dongling Hi-Tech has to make preparations to establish Dongxin Semiconductor, Oriental Optoelectronics, and Shenzhou Storage, and spend a lot of money to develop Dongxin's own lithography machine.

In terms of software, we also need a backup plan. Tianya Company is a flag that Dongling Hi-Tech has planted on the Internet, and Kingsoft is the backup plan of Dongling Hi-Tech in the software industry!

After Chen Feizhou left, Li Dongling said to Wang Jizhi, "Chief Engineer Wang, thank you for your hard work this year!"

Lingyun Technology is now basically managed by Wang Jizhi. Although professional managers have been hired to manage it, important decisions for Lingyun Technology still need to be made by Wang Jizhi personally.

In addition to managing the affairs of the Lingyun chain of printing stores, Wang Jizhi is also the chief engineer of Lingyun printers. He is also responsible for the research and development of the printers. It can be said that the burden of Lingyun Technology falls on him.

Wang Jizhi shook his head. Although he was thinner and had a lot more white hair than when Li Dongling saw him in Yanjing, he was in good spirits.

"To be honest, this year is the best year I've had since leaving SiTong. It makes me feel alive!"

Wang Jizhi said to Li Dongling that he had been frustrated in the years since he left Sitong, but although he was extremely busy this year, he felt like he was back to the time when he was the chief engineer at Sitong, and he was full of energy.

For a technical expert like Wang Jizhi, being busy is not scary, nor is encountering technical difficulties. He uses his lifelong learning and experience to solve difficulties one by one. Although he is tired, he is full of confidence. Wang Jizhi always holds his breath and wants to prove that the biggest regret of Situng was that he was kicked out of Situng and someone was left behind!

What people fear the most is suddenly losing their goals, or their career coming to an end. Once their ambition is gone, it won’t take a few years for them to become completely old and turn into an ordinary old man.

Li Dongling looked at Wang Jizhi and nodded slightly. Like Ni Guangnan, he wanted to prove himself, and to do so, he was willing to sacrifice his entire old body.

"Chief Engineer Wang, you still have to take care of your health. You also have to train more talents for Lingyun Technology. If Lingyun printers want to catch up with HP, Xerox, Epson and other brands of printers, it will take several years of hard work!"

Li Dongling said this tactfully. This was to advise Wang Jizhi to take care of his health. After all, he was in his fifties or sixties. Even if he refused to admit his age, his age was still there.

On the other hand, it is also reminding him that he should train more talents for Lingyun Technology!
Even if the Lingyun printer was successfully developed, it is indeed worth celebrating, but can we expect the first generation of printers to surpass HP?!

It is simply impossible. What's more important is to catch up with the products generation after generation. This requires Lingyun Technology to have more talent reserves. Otherwise, as soon as Wang Jizhi retires, Lingyun Technology will immediately fall into decline.

Not only Wang Jizhi, but also Li Dongling at Doxin Semiconductor has arranged a number of young technicians to hone their skills under the chip team of Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi.

After all, Lingyun Technology and Doxin Semiconductor will enter an era dominated by young R&D personnel. If they don't train them now, will they be forced to do so only when the technology becomes discontinued in the future?

Even though young people have many shortcomings, such as lack of experience, immature skills, lack of stability, etc., the fact is that all top technologies are developed by young people. They are not bound by constraints, their thinking is not conservative, and they are reckless. Instead, they can often create miracles!

Wang Jizhi was silent for a while, and finally nodded. He knew that what Li Dongling said was the truth, and in the future, Lingyun Technology would be the only one to carry his name during his lifetime and after his death.

Wang Jizhi didn't have any hope at Sitong, as Sitong had already erased all traces of Wang Jizhi's existence. As long as Duan Yongji was alive, his name would not appear in Sitong's history. As for Lingyun Technology, Wang Jizhi was the founder and chief engineer. As long as Lingyun Technology survived, the people who would take over Lingyun Technology in the future would be his disciples and would never dare to conceal Wang Jizhi's existence. On the contrary, they would wantonly praise Wang Jizhi's great achievements!
"I will let Lingyun Technology recruit more technical talents!" said Wang Jizhi.

Seeing that Wang Jizhi had listened, Li Dongling didn't say much. A technical expert like Wang Jizhi, if he was willing to train a disciple, then the one he trained would definitely be able to make the top, there was no doubt about that.

"Chief Engineer Wang, what is the current status of Lingyun Technology's project development?"

"It didn't go well!"

When it came to business, Wang Jizhi's expression immediately became serious, and a frown appeared on his forehead.

"Is it technically difficult?" Li Dongling looked at Wang Jizhi's expression.

Wang Jizhi shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "There are mainly two aspects!"

"The current R&D team of Lingyun Technology was formed after the acquisition of Guilin Ricoh. In terms of technical strength, compared with foreign countries, it may not be the best, but in China, it is considered to be the best!
The copiers that Lingyun is currently developing are aimed at HP's latest generation of products. There is still some gap in technology. The model machines made in previous experiments still have a considerable gap with HP in terms of durability and accuracy!

But, mainly the second point..."

Wang Jizhi's words were obviously filled with helplessness. "Companies like HP, Xerox, and Epson have set up a large number of patent barriers in the printer and copier industries, like a solid wall, blocking Lingyun Technology!"

"Lingyun Technology not only has to develop new technologies, but also has to find ways to circumvent the patent traps set by HP and others. This has caused Lingyun Technology's R&D costs to continue to increase, and the difficulty of R&D has also skyrocketed.

Lingyun's first generation of copiers may not be as good as HP's in terms of performance. In addition, the cost may be much higher than expected. In addition, it needs to pay part of the patent fee!"

At this point, Wang Jizhi couldn't help but blush. For an old-school technician like him, the first generation of Lingyun copiers was no longer a success at this point. At least compared to Li Dongling's investment in Lingyun Technology, Wang Jizhi felt that he had lost out.

Li Dongling heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. No matter if the performance is not advanced, as long as the machine can be built, this is very important!
“As long as the printer can be developed, it will be fine. Only after it is developed, there will be opportunities for improvement and upgrading!

Chief Engineer Wang, no matter what, we must launch a copier next year, so that Lingyun Technology will have a chance!"

Only when Lingyun launches its first self-developed and produced copier can the outside world believe that Lingyun is not just talking big.

This will also allow the Economic and Trade Commission, industrial machinery departments and other organizations that support Lingyun Technology to see hope, and allow more domestic parts manufacturers to see opportunities to cooperate with Lingyun Technology.

As a technician, Wang Jizhi felt that the first Lingyun copier currently under development was far from meeting his expectations, but in response to Li Dongling's request, Wang Jizhi nodded.

"Next year, I will ask Lingyun Technology's technical department to launch the first copier. However, in terms of performance, it will be somewhat inferior to copiers from brands like HP!"

Wang Jizhi has always been dissatisfied with the fact that his products cannot compare with those foreign brands in terms of performance.

"I believe that Chief Engineer Wang will sooner or later lead the Lingyun technical team to develop copiers and printers on par with HP, Xerox and others!" Li Dongling said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Jizhi knew it was a compliment and could only smile bitterly.

"There is one more thing. I need Chief Engineer Wang to have Lingyun Technology's management team implement it as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jizhi looked at Li Dongling curiously. Since the establishment of Dongling Hi-Tech, Li Dongling seldom directly intervened in the affairs of Lingyun Technology.

“I need Lingyun Technology to speed up the establishment of chain printing stores. By next year, we need to open at least one thousand chain stores.

After the Shenzhou computer is released, all Lingyun Technology stores and office computers will be replaced with Shenzhou computers!"

Li Dongling did not hide anything and said it directly, that he wanted Lingyun Technology to place an order with Shenzhou Computer.

Not only Lingyun Technology, but also Dongling Hi-Tech, Oriental Optoelectronics, Dongxin Semiconductor, Kingsoft, BOE, and Dongling Hi-Tech's component industry chain companies, Dongling Hi-Tech will also "recommend" them to use Shenzhou computers!
