Chapter 1660: Only by daring to gamble can you win

After Wan Feng gave Yin Zhenfei several surprises, Yin Zhenfei finally fought back successfully and also gave Wan Feng a surprise.

"What? Not only did you make the switch, but you also launched it? And you even got orders for over a hundred units?"

Wan Feng had reason to be surprised. Although it was a mature product developed by the electronics department of Nanwan Group, it was launched on the market in such a short time. Wasn't it a bit hasty?

Although they made a real machine, they did not undergo high-intensity verification and only did general tests.

He thought that even if Yin Zhenfei could produce the product after returning, he would at least have to conduct intensive experiments for a period of time before launching it on the market.

But now it’s already on the market after only a few days? The timeline for even producing a product is tight enough, let alone launching it.

"You guys were able to bring this product to market in such a short time? How did you do it?"

"Oh! It's hard to describe. You can't imagine what kind of life we ​​have been living these days."

"Mr. Yin is personally on the front line and has hardly slept for four or five days." Cao Anyi said the right words at the right opportunity.

"Mr. Yin! Making money is important, but good health is more important. What's the point of having more money if you're rich but you're dead?"

"I understand the logic, but the situation is pressing. This isn't just for myself, there are over twenty people waiting for me to feed them. How can I not be anxious? As for my health, I'm almost fifty, and the dirt is buried up to my chest. Why would I care about that?"

"You can't say that. You still have a brilliant career to begin, and your time hasn't arrived yet."

"You are good at talking, kid."

Is this talking? This is the truth, and Wan Feng is not bragging about this.

"Mr. Yin! I mean, the switch was put on the market without going through rigorous testing. Doesn't that seem a bit rushed?"

Knowing this, it would be better to complete all the tests in Nanwan before sending it over.

"Urgent? It has to be urgent! The switch market is changing so rapidly. We can't afford to wait!"

"What a gamble you're taking! If something goes wrong with the switch, all your efforts will be wasted."

Yin Zhenfei let out a long sigh: "Ever since I was cheated out of two million, I thought my bad luck was over and it was my turn to have some luck next time, so I thought it might be a good idea to take a gamble. It's already like this, how much worse can it get? Only those who dare to gamble can win."

Yin Zhenfei actually used this sentence here.

Although Wan Feng was speechless, he was also somewhat impressed. A 45-year-old man still had such courage. This... is not human!

In the learning machine production workshop, Yin Zhenfei was holding the learning machine and seemed reluctant to let it go.

"Actually, I still think producing these gadgets is interesting. They have low costs, fast turnover, and high profits. How about making a gadget for Huawei someday?"

Wan Feng shook his head. "You're right. These little gadgets do have the advantages of low cost and high profit, but they don't have much of a future. In a few years they'll be replaced by more advanced technology. Switches have a better future; at least they can last longer."

"Won't switches also become obsolete?"

"That's right. If something keeps resting on its laurels, unaware of crises and not striving for development, it will be eliminated. Switches are no exception. But when switches fail, you can take advantage of the situation and build communication base stations."

"Communication base station? This seems to be a patent of Telecom. Private companies like us don't seem to be qualified for it."

“It will probably be open soon.”

"Even if the country opens up, that's still a few years away. It's a bit too far-fetched to talk about that now. Let's just finish the switch first."

The last place we visited was the research building.

Yin Zhenfei saw more foreigners here.

Yin Zhenfei was obviously more interested in the research laboratories of Gu Hongzhong, Cheng Gong and others than in the foreigners. He just glanced at the foreigners, but when he arrived at Gu Hongzhong and Cheng Gong's laboratory, he had no intention of leaving.

Gu Hongzhong and Cheng Gong's laboratories are not in the same place. They only work together when they are researching a subject together. If they don't have a common project, they each have their own laboratory.

Cheng Gong's team is now researching the next-generation Hope-2 chip, while Gu Hongzhong's team is researching Chinese character pagers and mobile phones.

When Yin Zhenfei learned that the switch was developed by Gu Hongzhong, and when he learned that Gu Hongzhong was only a high school graduate, his interest in Gu Hongzhong was like a flood that broke through a dam.

Decided to have a serious discussion about science with Gu Hongzhong.

This paper mainly discusses the advantages and disadvantages of digital and analog switches.

When Wan Feng saw that Yin Zhenfei was planning to chat with Gu Hongzhong forever, he asked Gu Hongzhong to accompany Yin Zhenfei and chat.

I came out to the area of ​​the Helan people.

Although some of the tools and equipment that Curit brought from Holland had not yet reached the target, some equipment provided by Nanwan Group allowed them to start the research and development of lithography machines.

The lithography machine they studied is called TWINSCAN dual-worktable lithography machine.

Currit said that if the research of this lithography machine is successful, all the lithography machines currently on the market will be completely eliminated at one time.

In the previous life, this lithography machine was almost stillborn. ASML was able to continue its research and development smoothly only after it went public in 1995 and obtained sufficient funds. It was successfully developed in 2000, establishing its dominance in one fell swoop.

In this life, by some strange coincidence, this lithography machine fell into the hands of Wan Feng. Wan Feng had sufficient financial support, and this lithography machine was estimated to be available before 2000, and might even be successful around 1995.

When Wan Feng thought about having the awesome ASMI and their lithography machines in his hands, he felt like he was dreaming.

Therefore, Wan Feng was very respectful to people like Asmi and took care of them meticulously.

Of course, this has nothing to do with worshipping foreigners.

The goal is to coax others to successfully develop the lithography machine.

Asmi's research is a very huge project, and Asmi itself does not have enough people.

This requires the assistance of Chinese technical personnel.

Cheng Gong sent Zhang Zhengyang over, and the rest were more than a dozen young people arranged by Gu Hongzhong.

Wan Feng's task for them was to humbly accept the other party's leadership and assignments, and to tolerate even the foreigners' eccentric tempers due to their different living habits.

Of course, there is a purpose for enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. The purpose is just like what Lao Zhao said in the sketch "Red Sorghum Model Team": to drain all the artistic cells in the other party.

However, the highest level of education these people have is high school graduation.

Junior high school and high school graduates are the most high-end personnel he can arrange now, and college students are extremely rare in his company.

The issue of talent once again faced Wan Feng.
