Keyboard, please!!!
Da da da da...
In the office, the sound of typing on keyboards was like a torrential downpour, incessant and astonishing.
His programming skills are god-like; his typing speed is lightning fast, comparable to a piano master playing the piano.
He would pause for a moment, ponder for a moment, and then the continuous sound of keyboard clicks would resound all around him.
Zhao Ye was completely immersed in the world of programming.
Lu Xingping then contacted Apple's Vice President, Laureen Dick.
“Mr. Dick, I told my boss about your requirements, and he said it's no problem; he can meet all your conditions!”
“Oh, this is wonderful news!!!” Laureen Dick exclaimed happily, “It seems our two companies will soon become strategic partners!”
“Yes, that’s right, Mr. Dick. I can go to Apple tomorrow morning to sign the cooperation agreement!” Lu Xingping said with a smile.
“Yes, I’ll be waiting for you then!” Laureen Dick replied.
The following day, Lu Xingping successfully signed a cooperation agreement with Apple, which not only secured the long-awaited Windows patent for Wujiang Group, but also made Apple a major client.
For Apple, acquiring Wujiang Group's most advanced products would allow them to build a high-end Apple computer brand and regain market share.
Both sides were very happy.

"Lu Jia, here you go. This is the product proposal that I hope Wujiang Communication Technology Company will develop next."
Zhao Ye then arrived at Wujiang Communication Technology Company and handed Lu Jia a document.
Lu Jia accepted the documents and immediately began to look through them.
"Network switches and routers???" Lu Jia looked at the title, pondered for a moment, and then read it aloud.
Zhao Ye nodded and said, "That's right, those are the two products. Do you know a company in the US called Cisco?"
Lu Jia nodded and replied, "I know this company. It was founded by a professor from Stanford University and mainly develops routers."
"Yes, that's right. We also need to develop routers now, and we can't fall too far behind Cisco."
Routers have many functions; they can connect different networks!
A network switch connects multiple computers in different locations to a network system to form a local area network (LAN)...
These two products are extremely important!
Zhao Ye focused on the simple and important points, while more specific details were written in the documents.
With the increasing popularity of personal computers, the Internet era will gradually arrive.
Routers and network switches will become increasingly important.
In its previous life, Cisco relied on routers and switches to become the world's most valuable company in the early 2000s, with a market value approaching $600 billion!
Even though the internet hasn't fully taken off yet, routers and network switches still play a very important role.
Companies can set up their own local area networks (LANs), schools can set up their own LANs, computer labs can set up LANs... This will greatly improve office efficiency, especially for businesses.
Zhao Ye also had another purpose: to prepare for opening an internet cafe in the future.
Actually, the internet is already available in China.
As early as 1986, the domestic "China Academic Network" (abbreviated as C) was launched. In September 1987, C officially established China's first international Internet email node within the Beijing Institute of Computer Application Technology, and on September 14, it sent China's first email: "across the Great Wall we can reach every corner in the world."
Just last year, in 1988, China’s first x.25 packet switching PAC (backbone network) was built, covering cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Xi’an, Wuhan, Chengdu, Nanjing, and Shenzhen.
Through this "x.25 backbone network", it is basically possible to achieve international remote computer networking and email communication with Europe and North America.
However, this does not constitute formal access to the internet.
China's initial attempt to access the Internet was rejected by the United States, which argued that the Internet contained a wealth of scientific and technological information and other resources, and that socialist countries should not be allowed to access it.
This matter was discussed for a long time, until April 20, 1994, when the NCFC (China National Computer and Network Infrastructure) project connected to the Internet via a 64k international leased line through Sprint Corporation of the United States, achieving full-function connectivity with the Internet. From then on, China was officially recognized internationally as a country with a truly full-function Internet connection. This event was selected by the Chinese press as one of the top ten science and technology news stories of 1994 and listed in the National Statistical Bulletin as one of China's major scientific and technological achievements in 1994.
The development of the internet in China is slower than in the United States, and routers are a major contributing factor. Routers are also the most critical piece of equipment in the construction of the "NCFC" (National Computer Network Framework).
During the NCFC design phase, due to export restrictions imposed by COCOM and the United States, low- to mid-range router equipment could not be imported. The Decrouter obtained in the first phase of the experimental project could only support a speed of 19.2kbps and only supported the DE protocol, not TCP/IP. For high-speed fiber optic networks, the router should be able to support communication speeds of 10Mbps and run the TCP/IP protocol.
At that time, China could neither produce nor import routers, which caused the development of NCF to lag behind.
