Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 625: No Interest in Taking Action

Wang Qingsong looked at Du Yunze and smiled, "All the ideas I gave you must be realized on the computer, such as browsers, small games, WPS, etc., especially in the early stages, small games are still necessary, such as minesweeper and poker.

There is also Chinese localization of the computer system.

Especially for GUI graphical user interfaces, a Chinese version should also be developed during development. Use simplified Chinese characters instead of traditional Chinese characters. "

In later generations, no one actually plays computer games.

But when personal computers were just starting out, they weren't that powerful.

Some simple little games can keep those people in the office obsessed.

As for the Chinese localization of the computer system, this is also very necessary, after all, it is used by people in the mainland.

Du Yunze naturally agreed after hearing this: "Okay! I'll try! But I may not be able to meet such hardware requirements now. You asked me to make the icon, do you have any new ideas?"

The other party gave him a lot of ideas, which gave him a lot of concepts in his mind.

Wang Qingsong nodded lightly.

Indeed, the personal computers currently being researched cannot meet this requirement because they require the computer to be small enough.

This requires breakthroughs in hardware in all aspects.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to meet his requirements.

But it's soon.

There has been some progress in Spock's research.

That is the memory stick and the hard drive.

Now there is no concept of memory sticks.

Today's memory is in the form of magnetic cores arranged on lines, and each magnetic core and transistor form a bistable circuit as a one-bit (BIT) memory.

Each bit is about the size of a kernel of corn. You can imagine that a computer room can only hold no more than a hundred kilobytes of capacity.

Later, integrated memory chips soldered to the motherboard appeared, providing direct support for computer operations in the form of memory chips.

Even memory chips will not be developed until 1966, which is next year.

Spock has already developed the memory chip and registered it in a shell company in the United States.

But it is only 1Kb in size and its memory capacity is very small.

Of course, for modern times, it is barely enough, after all, there is more than one memory chip soldered on each motherboard.

This is one of the reasons why large calculators are so large.

Of course, what he is going to make now is the first generation of memory stick, designing a card slot type.

It is much more convenient than welding it before.

It doesn't need to be too advanced, just a few years ahead of other companies will be enough.

Otherwise, if people like Spock want to go out and work on their own, that would not be a good thing for him.

Of course, personnel turnover is unavoidable.

It will be impossible for him to achieve a monopoly in the future. Once he does, he will face various sanctions.

Then he said to him: "It's time to put the company merger on the agenda. I plan to establish Huake Semiconductor Company and merge several semiconductor companies including the circuit board company."

The Huake transistor factory previously managed by Spock and the current research institute are mainly hardware-based.

Du Yunze's side focuses on software.

As for the management staff, he has not yet decided.

Du Wanting will be in charge temporarily.

After all, he only needs to provide the general direction and technology, and the specific work will be done by the people below.

Take some time to come here every day.

Du Yunze nodded gently after hearing this: "Okay! I'll wait for your notification!"

Wang Qingsong had already mentioned the matter of merging the companies before.

It's just that it has never been carried out.

Wang Qingsong nodded, "Okay, you guys also need to cooperate with each other on the technology side. We will try to upgrade our word processors to corporate computers by the middle of next year!"

Personal computers are not yet popular.

The first personal computer was developed in 1973. It was a commercial computer for personal use at that time. Home computers did not appear until later.

Therefore, the use of computers by enterprises is now a real market demand.

The home market can only be truly considered a personal computer when the Internet has reached a certain scale.

Du Yunze hummed and said, "Okay, I understand."

Wang Qingsong looked around the company and made sure that nothing was wrong, so he left.

Drove to Spock's research institute.

At this time, Spock was operating a machine.

Naturally, the desktop analog technology and mouse used were also produced by Du Yunze.

"Boss!"

Seeing him coming, Spock smiled and greeted him.

Wang Qingsong stretched his head to look and asked, "How is it?"

Spock smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Boss, your request is too difficult. There is no way to break through the volume for the time being."

Wang Qingsong looked at the computer.

It is about the size of a desk, and the monitor is a CRT monitor.

It was the prototype of the home computer.

The computing speed is only 6 times per second, which has reached the computing level of the first personal computer in 73.

The size is about the same as it was back then.

But he was still not satisfied.

too big.

He retracted his thoughts and smiled: "It's okay, take your time!"

Although he moved a lot of information and technology, his current technological level is unable to make a breakthrough for the time being.

There is no way, there are simply too many transistors in today's computers.

This is also why integrated circuits are the trend of the future.

Then he asked, "How are the designs of the hard drive and memory? Oh, and the graphics card!"

Seeing this, Spock said, "We have acquired a small manufacturer of hard disks, magnetic disks, and read/write heads. Based on the technology you provided, we have started to produce some samples with sealed disk bodies, high-speed rotating disks, and suspended magnetic heads. The volume is only 20*20*10 cm, and the capacity is 1Mb.

As for the memory stick you mentioned, the memory stick uses a SIMM interface, has a capacity of 30 pins and 256 KB, and consists of 8 data bits and 1 check bit to form a bank.

As for the graphics card... there is no way to achieve it yet, and for now we can only use the motherboard integrated chip to handle graphics output. "

Wang Qingsong listened to the translator beside him talking and thinking.

The size of the hard drive has indeed been reduced a lot, but in his opinion it is still too small.

1MB can only store more than 100 million letters.

But that's pretty good.

Today's IBM hard drive is 1 meters high, 7 meters long, and 1 centimeters wide, which is definitely a large freezer.

It can store 5M of capacity.

A 50M hard drive requires several such cabinets together.

The hard drive alone can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it's a big part of the cost of a computer.

Its size is relatively much smaller.

It's almost dozens of times smaller.

What is important is not the small storage capacity, but the progress from 0 to 1. Once there is progress, the technology he brings can be digested in a short period of time.

The memory stick that Spock just mentioned is the one used on the 286 computer back then.

Produced in 1982.

This is already the limit of current technology, and the price is also very high.

It’s already not easy.

As for the graphics card!

We can only wait and see. Anyway, with the improvement of technology, these things will be available in a few years. Now we can only use the motherboard integrated chip to process the graphics output to complete this task.

He collected his thoughts and said, "Now that the three departments have been split up, you can go abroad and recruit some people with high salaries to continue the research. Just buy the equipment you need!"

Now the science and technology department of Huazhong University of Science and Technology has been divided into five major departments.

CPU, hard disk, memory, graphics card, and others, a total of five departments.

Other departments, of course, are responsible for research on home appliances, electronic products, speakers, and monitors.

Spock hummed, then smiled and said, "By the way, based on what you gave us, we made two things."

"Oh? What?"

He has given me so much during this period of time.

How could he know?

"One is the CD laser disc you mentioned earlier. We have purchased equipment and have already produced several in the laboratory, which can store 23 minutes of music.

Another one is LCD, which, when used with our integrated circuits, can greatly reduce the thickness of televisions. We have already developed a panel.”

Wang Qingsong listened and smiled: "Okay, sure! Let's continue the research. For CD laser discs, try to develop a CD player. For LCD displays, make a color display. At the same time, research LCD displays made of soft materials, just like the panel on a calculator."

Both of these models were invented in the 1960s and 1970s, but they just took some time to promote.

Spock naturally agreed.

After asking some more questions, he left the institute.

He never went to Li Sichen again. Now, while Li Sichen is managing the circuit board factory, he has also established several home appliance companies.

But the scale is not very large now.

The technology used was naturally the one he brought over.

After coming out, he called Du Wanting to confirm that she was in Hong Kong Island before he drove away.

Over the past year, Du Wanting has traveled frequently around the world.

When we arrived, Du Wanting was busy in the company.

"Coming!"

Wang Qingsong walked over with a smile: "Well, is the company busy?"

"Fortunately!"

Du Wanting stretched and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, I have found the person you asked me to check."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong raised his eyebrows.

He was naturally talking about Wang Huiru's father's family.

"What's going on?"

I had previously asked Du Wanting to find out where these people had gone, but Hong Kong Island is so big after all, and it was as if they had disappeared after arriving in Hong Kong Island.

He thought he was in another country.

Du Wanting heard this and said, "They are a family of five and now live in Kwun Tong. They bought a 300-square-foot house half a year ago. The old man, Wang Ruiyang, has nothing to do now. His son works in a factory and his daughter-in-law works in a garment factory."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong laughed.

He thought the other party was worth a lot!

Three hundred square feet is less than thirty square meters, which is only considered the living standard for ordinary residents in Hong Kong Island.

Anyone with a little money would not live in such a small house.

You know, there are 5 people in their family.

But these people are also unlucky. If they had come back a few months later, they could have saved a lot of money.

Three hundred square feet, based on the highest price period, would cost around HK$10,000.

But it’s not surprising when you think about it.

The Wang family didn’t have a very big business before, and money was really valuable before liberation. More than ten years have passed, and the inflation rate has become very high.

After the public-private partnership, the Wang family actually received very little rent.

If you haven't expanded your business for more than ten years and can make 10,000 or 20,000 yuan just from dividends, you would be considered very rich.

But if you want to come here, you have to exchange foreign currency on the black market.

The exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars on the black market is 1:1.

You should know that the official quotation is 2.42 Hong Kong dollars to 1 RMB. The problem is that you can't exchange it, so you can only go to the black market, where the price is naturally very low.

After hearing this number, he lost interest in dealing with these people.

Of course, according to the habits of mainlanders, they will not spend all their money and should have some savings.

As for how much, I don’t know.

Then he said, "Okay, ask someone to inquire about these people's movements frequently. You don't have to keep an eye on them all the time. Just ask someone to inquire occasionally."

Du Wanting was confused: "What's wrong? What's your relationship now? Are you friends or do you have grudges?"

Wang Qingsong thought for a moment and said, "Wang Ruiyang is my second brother's father-in-law, but his family looks down on my second brother. Now that he is in Hong Kong Island, I will pay a little attention to him."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Du Wanting suddenly realized: "It seems that you want to deal with them?"

"Not sure, we'll see what happens then!"

After Wang Qingsong finished speaking, he asked, "What about the previous incident at Guangdong Trust Bank?"

After the bank run in April, several Chinese banks went bankrupt, including Guangdong Trust Bank.

The number of properties that have been repossessed by Guangdong Trust Bank due to failure to repay loans has reached 120.

These buildings range from the lowest 6 floors to the highest 15 floors.

And the location of this property is quite good.

This is a piece of fat meat, we must get it down no matter what.

But these things take time to discuss.

Du Wanting put down the pen in her hand and said, "We have had several talks with Guangxin. We just signed a contract today and invested 7600 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire them. We estimate that we will need to invest another 6000 million to complete the construction of all the buildings. Our construction company will take over all the properties starting tomorrow.

It’s just that if you don’t sell so many properties and just rent them out, it will take a long time to get your money back.”

Wang Qingsong hummed, "I know. Let's do it this way first! If we build it and sell it, we will lose money according to the current housing prices in Hong Kong Island. It's better to rent it out and wait a few years to see the situation."

Even if I want to sell, I will sell the properties in remote areas. After all, the appreciation rate is too slow, so it is better to get some living money out.

The money appreciates faster than the house price.

After all, he can find a lot of information about later generations.

Du Wanting nodded gently after hearing this: "Okay then! But if this is the case, our funds may be a bit strained. It's okay now, after all, the properties you want to acquire this time are not few!"

"It's okay! Let's do it this way for now. We will take the good plots, especially those in Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. We won't touch the bad plots for now."

After all, the impact this time will not last until the end of 67.

That’s when the sale is at its peak.

The main reason is that the banking crisis did not have a big impact on his technology company, it can be said that there was no major impact.

Now most of the company's business is exported to Japan, the United States and other Western regions.

There are few people in Hong Kong Island and not many technology companies.

In two years, he will earn more money, so even if it's not much, it's not a big problem.

The most profitable thing for his company now is waiting for next year's drug launch.

Thinking of this, he asked, "How much money do we have now? What about Shirley's medicine? When will it be available on the market?"

"We now have 2.9 million U.S. dollars left after deducting the bank's investment and various previous R&D expenses. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is less than 18 billion.

It will take several more months for the drug to complete all clinical trials, and the new drug can be approved for marketing before the end of the year. The US is also doing the same. It is expected to be launched around April next year. "

Wang Qingsong nodded slightly when he heard this.

He was still full of expectations for the medicine, which was a money-making beast.

Once completed, a large amount of funds will flow into the company the year after next, which will be the time when the real estate market in Hong Kong is at its lowest.

It's a good opportunity to buy at the bottom.

Plus, the company will make money again in the next two years.

So he felt that he could accomplish a lot this time.
