Coquettish Rebirth

Although Jia Hongjian's plan for the company's future is based on the business perspective that Olson hates, it has to be said that Olsen is really interested in these points!At least it can be considered that Jia Hongjian's design is a commercial operation outside the core of Olsen's design.Olson is not too disgusted with this, because what he dislikes is that commercial purposes guide technological progress!He hates that the company decides what products to launch, and then let the employees do the research. What he likes is that others don't disturb his research, and then there is a partner like Jia Hongjian who can slightly modify his things to the corners , then find a way to sell it, and finally make a lot of money!

To put it bluntly, this Olsen is an engineer with a very scientific temperament. He only likes to do research, and he doesn't like to deal with others—at least businessmen or consumers.From this point of view, he is very strange.Because in order to sell something, it is natural to understand the needs of consumers.However, people who focus on technology often become obsessed with technology, but ignore the importance of its products.It becomes that you want to sell something, but you don’t want to deal with paying customers, and you just think about researching things yourself. Isn’t this the same as Dr. House in "Doctor House"?

The Doctor House in the American TV series is the most wonderful doctor in the history of TV. He declared in the first episode of the first season that he does not treat diseases to save people, but to treat diseases.Even he never went to see the patient, and he didn't believe the patient's medical history at all. He even believed that people would lie, so the patient's words to the doctor were full of lies, and he would rather let his assistant Break into the patient's home to investigate the environment.

Such a wonderful personality.It's kind of like Olsen.But the difference is that Dr. House does not take the patient seriously. When the patient's condition is confusing and his physical condition is deteriorating, Dr. House will not find evidence to prove why the patient is sick, but first follow his Guess to find a rough drug to take or inject to the patient - according to his theory, if it works, it proves that the guess is right.If it doesn't get better or even worse, then prove him wrong...

Although Olsen is a bit like Dr. House, he is not as extreme as the characters in the TV series after all.The old man is now very satisfied with his union with Jia Hongjian.In his opinion.This little friend Jia Hongjian is simply a little gift from heaven—very self-aware, not disturbing his research and design, just working on the periphery of his design, which obviously makes him very happy!

"By the way, child. This is the shape of our new product that we have recently improved. Take a look..." Olsen, who was in a good mood, actually started calling Jia Hongjian's child again, and at the same time called them a few days ago The new shell design that was taken from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was handed over to Jia Hongjian.By the way, I asked Olson to get the shell model made of steel plate.

Jia Hongjian took the blueprint and took a look at it, and found that the design of this chassis is just a small trash can!However, it is more hole-like, that is to say, there are cooling holes everywhere in the front, back, left, and right.But this kind of cooling hole is good. Generally speaking, it is like the cooling hole on a DVD player. It is not too big, but there is a row of cooling holes two to three centimeters wide and 20 centimeters long on each side.After Anderson brought the object over, Jia Hongjian took a look at the object.

From the outside, because it is made of pure steel, the metallic luster is good. Although the exterior is painted with white paint, you can still feel a bit of metallic texture.In the design of the front panel of this machine, the upper part of the front is a 5-inch CD-ROM drive, and below the CD-ROM drive is a reserved hole that is slightly larger than the CD-ROM drive. At a glance, it is known that the 5.2-inch floppy drive is used, which is the so-called "B disk". , and then below, that is the position for the 3.5-inch floppy drive, which is the so-called "a drive".

For this, Jia Hongjian felt that the panel design was a bit complicated. Disk B was a 5.2-inch floppy drive. After the disc came out, it basically disappeared. For example, the computers sold by Lianxiang, this year’s new products are basically There is no place for the b drive anymore.However, the only bad thing about the enterprise market is that the replacement is slow, just like in 2013, the operating system of the computer inside the bank counter is still XP, and many enterprises may still have 5.2-inch floppy disk data, so this panel You can't leave the position on the table to others.

After reading the front panel, Jia Hongjian stretched out his hand to lift up the entire chassis to look at the side and back, but who knew that just as he stretched out his hand to hug it, he immediately felt that the weight was very strong-it felt like it weighed more than ten catties! "Fuck...how heavy is your chassis?" Jia Hongjian asked in surprise. "6 kg, we use 1mm steel plates, and special reinforcements are added inside, so it's full of weight!" Olsen proudly showed off.

"It's a bad idea. Enterprise users won't throw our case off the roof. Why do we make it so strong? It will increase the cost...it's better to use 0.5mm aluminum plate to make it..." Jia Hong said Gradually, he used his experience in assembling itx mini-cases in his previous life as a guide—"First of all, the panel can be used later, which looks more beautiful. For example, the front panel can be made of 2 mm thick aluminum plate. Then the side panel The last 0.5mm aluminum plate is enough. The 0.5mm aluminum plate is basically impossible to bend by manpower, and at the same time, our current cpu and graphics card do not need to use particularly heavy radiators, so there is no need for any reinforcing ribs..."

As he talked, Jia Hongjian still felt that he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply grabbed a pen and paper from the pencil case in front of Olsen and started to draw directly. "We don't need to use special steel for the interior, not even the main board's drag board. We put a few rivets on the right side of the chassis, and directly erect a few copper pillars connected to the main board. A vertical hard disk rack, you only need to put a hard disk, the main board is hung on the right board, and then the power supply can be placed on the top of the case. I think the size of our case can be directly connected to the ATX power supply, which saves a lot of money .Of course, there is a drag board under the side of the power supply, which can drag the power supply..."

When he had probably finished the interior design, Olson and the others thought Jia Hongjian had finished talking, but who knew, they listened to Jia Hongjian and continued, "Next, our exterior design is also very important, don't paint silly The white paint is white. Although the white one looks good, but now everyone’s chassis is white, which is boring. And the white paint has the problem of yellowing. It will turn yellow after a certain period of time, unless you use good car paint. Otherwise, the exterior will turn yellow in a year or two, so it’s better not to paint it. Let’s have a metallic texture—the exterior is aluminum anyway, and we can use anodized brushed, so that the exterior looks very beautiful, of course, The most important thing is that during the processing, some scratches and the like will be polished off without discoloration..."

At this point, Olsen and Anderson thought about what the chassis designed by Jia Hongjian would look like after it was finished—aluminum, that is, silver-gray, and then brush it or something. , and then it hasn't been painted yet... Hiss... This metallic taste will have a very manly feeling!So Anderson immediately asked, "Could this be too impactful?"

"No, if it is made in other colors, the occasional bumps will easily cause the paint to peel off. We don't have any paint here at all. If you bump and touch it casually, at most there is something wrong with the brushed appearance, but it's not easy to see it from ten yards away. Even if you take a sandpaper and polish it by yourself for a few hours, it will not be obvious. For corporate users, isn’t it beautiful and time-saving? There is not even too much oxidation problem. Originally, anodic treatment is Oxidation is carried out to form an oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum plate. The hardness will increase, and it will be the same as the new one after more than ten or twenty years. If it is dirty, just wipe it with a rag! And you don’t have to worry about heat dissipation, how good it is ah?"

"By the way, can we make the motherboard to put the ps2 jack and the volume jack on the front? I mean these things don't have to be on the back...wait, it's nice to put it on the left side...in this way, the company When users use our products, their mouse and keyboard do not need to be connected to the back of the chassis, but can be directly connected to the front or side, which saves time and effort..."

Eh?Olson suddenly felt that Jia Hongjian's design really meant people-oriented technology!When he was using the computer, sometimes the mouse and keyboard didn’t work well, and he had to climb under the table to change the socket, and the ps2’s mouse and keyboard sockets didn’t support hot-swapping. Turn it off and climb down to change it, and then turn it on again to open the effect!According to Jia Hongjian's design, the entire case can be placed on the table, even if the mouse and keyboard are replaced, the whole person does not have to stand up, which saves a lot of trouble!

Moreover, in terms of this design, the power supply, hard disk, optical drive, etc. can all be used on the market, and they only need to customize the motherboard by themselves, so that the total cost can be reduced a lot. If there is a real business, I believe it will make a lot of money!

So Olson made a decision directly, "Okay, the shape is settled like this, I will draw up a few configuration sheets later, and we will use these configuration sheets as the product grades to promote and sell..."

Who knows that Jia Hongjian interjected again at this time, "I agree with this! I think it is very important to draw up the configuration in advance, but there is another question, that is, can we change the configuration according to the needs of customers like Dell? ?You see that amd’s cpu is also good now. Intel may release a new Pentium 3 cpu next year, and even the size of the hard disk and the size of the memory. It is completely possible to order a batch of goods and put them in the warehouse, and then temporarily purchase other things. As long as the customer wants it, we only need to start assembling... Even, our product can also put the configuration purchase page on our On the page of Sherlock Holmes, some small companies can also have the opportunity to purchase..." (To be continued..)
