Another hot product

Although Shen Ziyao wanted to modify the engraving machine and load the system she mastered, she didn't do it after thinking about it.

She is the only one in the world who is proficient in the system she has mastered, so if there are any problems with the engraving machine in the future, she will be the only one who can fix it. If she is unable to get away, will production come to a standstill?

Moreover, even if we want to train talents, it is a long-term project from formulating teaching materials to training talents. It is better to use the original system first, wait for her to slow down, organize the knowledge of CNC system, and then make the transformation.

"Mr. Hashimoto, when are we going to adjust the equipment?"

This engraving machine was produced in an island country, and the company also sent them a technician, a man about 1.7 meters tall, of medium build, wearing a suit.

His hair was meticulously combed back with mousse, his face was clean-shaven, his leather shoes were polished to a shine, and he was holding a big black brick-shaped mobile phone in his hand and had a pager on his waist, the standard configuration of a rich man in the 1990s.

At this moment he was looking at the factory with disgust on his face. Not only were the equipment in China's factories outdated, but the environment was also dirty and messy. Compared with the bright, clean and modern factories in their empire, there was a world of difference. Of course, their empire was the one in heaven.

If it weren't for the high travel allowance, he wouldn't have come to this damn place. Hearing the Chinese urging him to work, he was already unhappy, and became even more unhappy. He glanced at the person in charge of the Chinese country and said arrogantly and contemptuously: "This is your country's way of entertaining guests. Guests come from afar, and you don't even let them rest, but let them start working."

The person in charge of China quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hashimoto, we have prepared a hotel for you, I will take you there."

Hashimoto didn't say anything. The assistant beside him raised his chin and asked, "Mr. Hashimoto has very high requirements for the sleeping environment. It must be clean, hygienic, and no noise. In addition, Mr. Hashimoto only eats seafood from the island country..."

After blabbering on and on about a bunch of demands, the Chinese present were all clenched in their fists. They were invited here at a high price for work, not to worship their ancestors. Shen Ziyao was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Zhao Ke, who shook his head at her and smiled bitterly: "It's refreshing for you to confront them, but if they get angry and leave, what will happen to the equipment we bought at a high price?"

"Let's do it ourselves." Shen Ziyao's chest heaved with anger.

Zhao Ke smiled bitterly: "That would require us to have the technology to do that."

Shen Ziyao thought for a moment and asked, “What if I can write a CNC program?”

Zhao Ke's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Really?"

Shen Ziyao nodded, glanced at the engraving machine, and replied: “But the CNC program I wrote will modify this equipment.”

Zhao Ke's face changed, and he quickly whispered to stop him: "Absolutely not."

Shen Ziyao wondered: "Why?"

Zhao Ke then explained to her with a wry smile: "If we modify the equipment, not only will the factory no longer provide any technical assistance, but our road to importing equipment in the future will also be blocked. Unfortunately, our country cannot manufacture the equipment."

Shen Ziyao was silent. She could program the CNC machine tool system independently, but she was unable to design and manufacture the machine tool independently.

However, she clenched her fist silently, and began to program the CNC machine system, attaching her own understanding of CNC machine tools, and then handed it over to professionals. She believed that they would be able to research and manufacture CNC equipment for China based on these. People like Hashimoto today could stay where they wanted. Not to mention the $100 hourly wage, even if they were paid in vain, China would not want them.

Chen Ziyao and the people from the research institute came back from the factory with their heads down. Old Qin was not surprised. Although Hashimoto was annoying, he was not the most annoying thing. The most annoying thing was that they treated people like ancestors and served them for a few days, and then they didn't work for them. But what could they do? It was their fault that they had no skills and had to beg others.

"Cheer up, everyone. If you don't want to be looked down upon, work hard and develop our own technology as soon as possible."

The researchers finally let out their pent-up energy and shouted loudly: "Yes!"

The sound was so loud that people passing by thought that troops had arrived at the research institute.

Old Qin smiled with satisfaction. When their skills were not as good as others, they would bow their heads temporarily just to accumulate more strength. When the day of success comes, they will no longer accept any contempt.

The researchers in the research institutes were like chicken blood, and they threw themselves into the research work with great enthusiasm. Only Shen Ziyao went to Mr. Qin's office.

When Mr. Qin saw her expression, he knew that she must have come here for Hashimoto's matter. He picked up the water cup and poured her a glass of water, then smiled and asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Shen Ziyao nodded, and Old Qin shook his head and sighed: “You are still young and can’t stand the anger.”

Seeing that Chen Ziyao lowered her head and said nothing, he continued: "When you have experienced a lot, you will understand that it doesn't matter if you are angry for a while. The important thing is to learn the skills."

Shen Ziyao understood this truth, but she came to see Mr. Qin for something else. She looked up at Mr. Qin and said, "Teacher, I would like to borrow some books on CNC machine tools from you."

Old Qin understood what she meant. This girl probably wanted to study CNC machine tools. However, it is not a bad thing for young people to learn more. Thinking that the research task was not tight these days, he took out two books on electronic engineering from the drawer and handed them to her.

Shen Ziyao had no objection to going to school. After coming to this world, she had been rushing forward. It was time for her to settle down and understand this world. Otherwise, even if she had advanced technology, it would be useless if it did not meet the current production level. For example, if she took satellite technology to ancient times, could she build it?

After coming out of Mr. Qin's office and returning to the laboratory, she found out what Zhao Ke and the others were discussing. She went over to ask and found out that they were discussing lithium batteries. This time they were going to use nickel-metal hydride batteries for their mobile phones, but it was obvious that lithium batteries performed better.

A lithium battery explosion happened just last year, so everyone is currently worried about lithium batteries. If they want to use lithium batteries, they must achieve the ultimate in safety.

After Shen Ziyao knew about this, she joined their research. Electronic products, especially mobile phones, were updated very quickly, so they had to have their own advantages, and battery life was one of them.

Shen Ziyao did not work overtime that day and got off work at a normal time. When she packed her bag and was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and called Zhao Ke: "Comrade Zhao, do you have time? Can you accompany me to buy a bicycle?"

After get off work, Zhao Ke originally planned to go home to get some clothes. The weather was getting warmer, and all the clothes he wore in the dormitory at the research institute were long-sleeved. He had to go back to get a short-sleeved shirt and some thinner clothes.

However, these did not conflict with accompanying Shen Ziyao to buy a bicycle. He agreed, asked Shen Ziyao about her budget, and then drove Shen Ziyao to the Jingcheng Department Store, where the products were the most complete and the quality was guaranteed. Unlike other places, the bicycles that looked new were actually assembled with old parts and then painted and sold as new ones.

However, they arrived at an unfortunate time. That afternoon, the department store had just purchased a new batch of Oriental pagers, which caused a long queue outside the department store, which already had a large flow of people. The inside was even more crowded, and people were squeezed against each other. They had a hard time squeezing in, and in the process, Zhao Ke almost had his glasses squeezed off, and she almost had one of her shoes squeezed off.

Being in such a mess, they naturally had no intention of strolling around, and went straight to the place where bicycles were sold, selected a purple Kun bicycle, and then followed the staff out of the employee passage to avoid congestion again. This was also how they passed by Zheng Yan.

Zheng Yan spent a lot of money these days, but she didn't get any news about Chen Ziyao and the others. In the end, apart from scolding those hooligans, she couldn't even get back the money she spent.

Because her credit card was seriously overdrawn, she only had a little over 1,000 yuan on hand, which was not enough for her to make ends meet. She called home to ask for money, but she was scolded and didn't get a penny. In order to save money these days, she either went hungry or asked Qin Ziyu for a meal, but this was not a solution. When she was at her wits' end, she occasionally heard that she could make 200 yuan by reselling a Dongfang brand pager, which made money quickly. For the sake of money, she had to put aside her ladylike style and became a scalper. Of course, she hated Chen Ziyao even more.

After Shen Ziyao finally bought a bicycle, unfortunately she didn't know how to ride it. It was getting late and it was not a good time to learn how to ride. She could only call a taxi and put the bicycle in the trunk and take it home. The driver had never seen such a thing and thought the bicycle was broken.

He said regretfully: "This is a new car, but it broke down. There is a car repair shop nearby, and the repairman there has pretty good skills."

Shen Ziyao replied: “The bike is not broken, I just don’t know how to ride it.”

The driver looked at Shen Ziyao in surprise. She was so old, but she couldn't ride a bike.

Shen Ziyao was not embarrassed at first, but when the master looked at her, she began to wonder, riding a bicycle is just like driving a car, some people can ride it, and some people can't, why did the master look at her like that.

Zhao Ke didn't expect Shen Ziyao to be so honest and directly admitted that she didn't know how to ride a bicycle. He smiled and said to her, "Comrade Shen, I will have time to teach you how to ride a bicycle tomorrow. Don't be afraid. It's easy to learn. It's just that you don't often come into contact with this in Hong Kong. Most of the children here can ride it."

Shen Ziyao smiled and thanked him, and retorted: “Actually, there are quite a lot of people riding bicycles in Xiangjiang.”

Zhao Ke smiled helplessly, he was really honest, he wanted to help her out, didn't she notice, Shen Ziyao certainly didn't notice, she didn't think she couldn't ride a bike, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

This time when she returned home, there were finally people at home, Shen Yu and Zheng Yuan were both there. When she got home, the mother and daughter were watching a TV series. She glanced at the TV screen and found that it was Journey to the West. It was indeed a classic that would remain a classic in any time and space. Even Zheng Yuan, a little picky person, was attracted by the monkey.

"Cousin, you bought a bicycle. That's great. I don't have to walk to school anymore."

When Zheng Yuan heard that Shen Ziyao bought a bicycle, she immediately cheered. Shen Ziyao glanced at her and asked, "Can you ride it?"

Zheng Yuan replied without thinking: "If you don't know how to do it, you can learn."

Shen Yu patted her head: "Our home is only two hundred meters away from the school. You still have to ride a bike. You're so lazy."

Zheng Yuan touched her head, wrinkled her nose at her mom, and said, "Mommy, please stop hitting my head. If it gets damaged, I'll fail the exam again."

Shen Yu didn't want to bother with this broken child. She was always right. She turned to ask her niece: "Yaoyao, have you eaten?"

Seeing Shen Ziyao shaking her head, she hurried to set the table. Zheng Yuan ate while watching monkeys fighting monsters at the table. Shen Yu talked to Shen Ziyao about the USB flash drive: "The factory site has been selected, and General Manager Li has also contacted the equipment. It is also easy to recruit workers. The last thing the mainland lacks is people. It is expected that formal production will be possible in about ten days."

After saying that, she put down her chopsticks, looked at her niece and said, "That USB flash drive is your patent, so you should get to choose the brand name."

Shen Ziyao thought about it and said, "Let's call it a jade slip. Jade slips are a way of storing information in ancient times, and the word 'jade' in it just fits my aunt's name."

Shen Yu didn't expect her niece to name her, and she even brought her name. Her nose was sour, and then she said: "Your own skills, why do you bring my name, why don't you bring your own name?"

Shen Ziyao deliberately said: "In order to please my aunt, I want her to give me more shares in the company."

Shen Yu glanced at her: "It's just 30%, no more."

In fact, Shen Yu, Li Wenxuan, and Shen Ziyao each hold 30% of the company's shares, and the remaining 10% is intended to be distributed to employees with outstanding performance. Shen Ziyao also knows this and has no objection. She was just joking just now.

In the end, Shen Yu still didn't plan to use the name Yu Jian, as it didn't sound grand enough. In the end, Shen Yu made the final decision and called it Kuixing Brand. Kuixing is the god who governs scholars, and most of the people who buy USB flash drives are scholars, so it just caters to their preferences.

Chen Ziyao shook her head. The wealthy families in Hong Kong were all superstitious. Her aunt had been in Hong Kong for so many years and was also deeply influenced. But it was just a brand name, so she could call it whatever she wanted.

After settling the matter, Shen Yu asked Zheng Yan again: "I don't know if she has come to the capital."

Shen Ziyao snorted: "Who cares about her? As long as she doesn't bother me, I don't bother to pay attention to her."

After saying that, she hurriedly told Shen Yu and Zheng Yuan: "If Zheng Yan wants to harm you, remember to find the police. When you get to the police station, remember to mention Liang Lin's name."

It's easier to get things done with someone in the court, and she can feel more at ease if she finds someone she knows. She hasn't seen Liang Lin for a long time, and she doesn't know what he's busy with.

Liang Lin just learned a piece of news at this moment, that is, Zheng Yan, because she owed a lot of credit card money, actually started reselling Oriental pagers, and he also heard that foreign forces had noticed her and were preparing to contact her.

The 2G technology was eventually known to foreign forces. Although they did not know that Shen Ziyao was the soul of this project, one thing was enough for foreign forces to pay attention to Zheng Yan. She was close to Qin Ziyu, and the Qin family was close to senior leaders of the mainland. This was where they could use her.

The story of how foreign powers noticed 2G technology started with the Dongfang pager. Although this brand had only been established for a few days, it had already made it difficult for foreign brands such as Mora to sell pagers in China. In the past few days, each store sold at least ten pages a day on average, but now it is considered good if it can only sell one pager a day. With the joint efforts of several forces, they soon learned about 2G technology. Although they only knew a little bit, it was enough for them to judge the threat to them and the value of 2G technology.

The capitalists are greedy and their first thought is to seize it. If they can't do it openly, they will do it secretly. Zheng Yan is one of their pawns. After Liang Lin learned the news, he reported it immediately. Neither the 2G technology nor the researchers can be in trouble.

After Director Hong found out, he immediately called Chen Mo from the institute and told the researchers involved in 2G technology to be careful when going out recently and not to go out alone.

"Director, I'm applying to investigate this case."

After Director Hong made the call, Liang Lin immediately stood at attention, saluted, and stated his demands.

Director Hong put the phone down and scolded with a smile: "You want to steal the job of the National Security Bureau and investigate cases. We have plenty of cases in our bureau."

Liang Lin also knew that it was not his responsibility to deal with espionage, but he felt uneasy if he didn't follow. Director Hong took a document, picked up a pen, and was about to work. Seeing that he was still standing there, he said, "Why are you standing here like a pillar? Why don't you get out and work?"

Liang Lin didn't want to leave and wanted to fight for it, but the director was unmoved. He could only go out reluctantly and return to his office. He picked up the phone and called Shen Ziyao's mobile phone, but no one answered after several calls. Fortunately, he called Shen's landline and found her. It turned out that her mobile phone was charging.

"Brother Liang, what's the matter?"

Shen Ziyao took the call and asked, Liang Lin then told her about foreign forces targeting their project team and contacting Zheng Yan. Shen Ziyao thanked Liang Lin first, and then said: "Anyway, our 2G technology has also been patented, and we can't always hold it in our hands. As long as the 2G mobile phone is on the market, it will be easy for them to crack it with their ability. We just want to earn patent fees."

Liang Lin heaved a sigh of relief. This way, Shen Ziyao's safety was not so serious, but he still told her to be careful. Then they each talked about their own situation during this period. Both of them were very busy and almost all their time was devoted to work. Their personal time was really pitifully little. Liang Lin's only entertainment during this period was that he was dragged by his uncle to the national team as a sparring partner.

Shen Ziyao couldn't help but think of her past life. Wasn't her private life as boring as Liang Lin's? So she suggested to him: "Brother Liang, you should also develop a personal hobby. It can relieve stress."

Liang Lin curled his lips slightly and asked: "Yaoyao, what is your hobby?"

Shen Ziyao replied: "Cooking delicious food can not only fill your stomach, but also please your body and mind."

Hearing that Chen Ziyao actually liked to cook, Liang Lin thought that he might as well learn how to cook. He didn't need to find a master specifically to learn the skills. He could just go home and learn from his parents. Then his parents were frightened and thought their son had become stupid due to some kind of stimulation.

The next day, because Shen Ziyao couldn't ride a bicycle yet, she took a taxi to the research institute. When she arrived at the institute, Old Qin and Chen Mo held a meeting with everyone. They first studied the confidentiality regulations together, and then reminded everyone in the institute that not only should they pay attention to their own safety, but they should also remind their families to pay attention to safety.

Many times, it is not that their researchers want to betray the country, but that they are forced to do so because of their families.

After the meeting, Mr. Qin called Shen Ziyao: "Xiao Shen, come to the office. I found the book you wanted for you."

Shen Ziyao's peach blossom eyes curved: "Thank you, teacher!"

Mr. Qin glanced at the student and said to her: "Look carefully. I will introduce you to some experts in this field later. If you don't understand something, just ask them."

Shen Ziyao thanked him again with a smile on her face. Old Qin pretended to be reserved and said "hmm", then said: "Remember to go to school."

"I remember it." Shen Ziyao replied obediently.

But once they were busy, they had no time to care about anything else. Foreign forces were eyeing the 2G technology. Although they had applied for patents, several items had been stuck and not approved. This was because those foreigners were deliberately delaying time, hoping to research or steal the 2G technology and then register their own patents.

Therefore, they had to establish a 2G call network and produce 2G mobile phones as quickly as possible. There were no problems with other links, but Hashimoto had been uncooperative on the precision engraving machine side. They said that the modulation equipment consumed energy and he could only work two hours a day. As a result, more than half of the two hours was spent finding faults. What could the Chinese side do? They tried both soft and hard methods, but Hashimoto just wouldn't work.

Seeing his ugly look, Chen Ziyao was determined to review all the CNC programs that Mr. Qin had lent her. If she didn't understand something, she asked the experts that Mr. Qin had introduced to her. She studied with them and learned a lot from them while working at Hashimoto. She cracked most of the CNC programs of the engraving machine. With the CNC system and the complete machine tools, it was not difficult for China to imitate simple CNC machine tools.

Just when she and several experts were preparing to adjust the equipment together, for some reason, Hashimoto became serious about his work and adjusted the equipment in just one morning.

Shen Ziyao was a little puzzled, and Old Qin explained to her: "How could he change his nature? If he doesn't go back, his position in the headquarters will be replaced by someone else."

As for whether there are other people behind this, Mr. Qin believes that there are not so many coincidences in the world, but this is just a guess and cannot be said out loud.

Chen Ziyao snorted in relief: "It's what you deserve!"

Old Qin looked at her again and said, "I heard that you and Old Xu have conquered the CNC system of the engraving machine together."

Shen Ziyao said modestly: "It's mainly due to Professor Xu and his colleagues."

Old Qin snorted inwardly. He didn't know those old guys well. If they could have conquered it, they would have done it long ago. Needless to say, his student must have played a big role in the conquest this time, otherwise Old Xu and the others would not have competed with him for his apprentice.

After the 2G project is completed, he will force this girl to study electronic engineering with him. He also wants to build computers, all of which must be domestically made from hardware to software.

After all the equipment and raw materials were in place, the only thing left was to assemble the mobile phone, which was a quick task. The Chinese have always been efficient at work, and in the afternoon, the first 2G straight-screen mobile phone with a built-in antenna, which could make calls, send messages, store contact numbers, display a calendar, real-time time, and have an alarm clock, was finally born in China.

It is 15.3 cm long, 5.2 cm wide, 3.0 cm thick, has a black and white screen, is 3 inches in size, and the entire body is black. It also has a long battery life, can provide 10 hours of talk time after charging for one hour, so you no longer have to worry about running out of power while on the phone.

Although it looks plain, in the eyes of the project team researchers, it is the most fashionable and advanced mobile phone in the world. After installing the SIM card and making a call, the sound coming out of the phone is simply the most wonderful and pleasant sound in the world.

2G mobile phones are not limited to the bar model. They also come in flip and sliding models, and in three colors: black, white, and bright red. They are definitely eye-catching and can show your status when you take them out.

The researchers were deeply attracted by the mobile phones they had developed, and each of them was calculating their savings in their minds in the hope of buying one. However, although they were all researchers, they were essentially workers, and their only sources of income were wages and bonuses. None of them were wealthy. For example, a mobile phone would cost around 20,000 yuan, which they could not afford.

So one researcher asked anxiously: "Mr. Qin, will this phone be expensive after it goes on the market?"

Qin Lao replied: "I don't know about that, but it's cheaper than a mobile phone anyway. We have the cost right there."

Chen Ziyao also understood the researcher's desire to buy a mobile phone. She also wanted to buy one, so she smiled and pleaded with Mr. Qin: "Teacher, you see, we have been busy day and night for so many days, and finally we have a 2G mobile phone. Everyone present is its creator, so can you ask the higher-ups to give us a discount when we buy the phone?"

As soon as Shen Ziyao finished speaking, the researchers all looked at Mr. Qin, who glared at his students for causing trouble for him.

But he also felt sorry for the researcher, so he promised: "I will apply to the higher-ups."

The researchers immediately smiled happily. Although they might not be able to afford it even after a discount, they were still happy because the country recognized their hard work.

In the case of overtime, Dongfang Technology Company launched mobile phones after pagers. Compared with the big brother, the mobile phone is more fashionable, compact and has better performance. Not to mention other functions, there is no noise when making calls, which is far better than the big brother, not to mention other thoughtful functions, not to mention that its price is only half of the big brother, less than 10,000 yuan, so when buying a big brother, or a Dongfang brand mobile phone, is there any need to choose?

As a result, long queues once again appeared in Beijing, where the products were first distributed. In contrast, although people were coming and going at the sales outlets of major mobile phones such as Mora, all of them were returning the products.

Although mobile phones are bulky, expensive, and have poor performance, they are still a hot commodity in China and you have to make an appointment to buy them. But now many people are glad that they didn't get the goods, otherwise they would have suffered a great loss.

This scene is not only happening in Beijing, but also in other cities across China. Although Dongfang brand mobile phones have not yet been distributed in other cities, and some cities don't even have signal towers built, people would rather wait than buy mobile phones.

While everyone was rushing to buy Dongfang brand mobile phones, a store in Beijing opened grandly. Compared to the popularity of Dongfang brand mobile phones, their business can be said to be deserted. Their main product is USB flash drives. In this era, televisions are rare, not to mention computers. Some people probably don’t even know what they are, so business is really deserted. Several people came in after the opening, but they couldn’t sell a single USB flash drive.

Shen Yu couldn't help but get anxious, but Li Wenxuan was confident. He picked up a few USB flash drive samples and planned to sell them to foreign companies. He also had another plan, which was to go directly into foreign trade. The computer penetration rate abroad is much higher than in China, so their USB flash drive market is abroad.

After hearing what he said, Shen Yu was relieved. As long as she didn't lose money, it would be fine. After all, almost her entire fortune was staked on it.

Foreigners in China were once again confused. What happened to China's backward technology? Why were their pagers, mobile phones, and even storage devices connected to computers more advanced than theirs?

Ordinary foreigners are in a daze, but certain foreign forces are annoyed. They have taken many precautions, blocking this and that, but in the end they still failed to stop China's technological progress. They must check what has happened in China during this period that has allowed them to launch new technological products one after another.

Soon the intelligence department brought up a list of students from various world-renowned universities who had gone to China during this period, and Shen Ziyao's name was on the list.
