He's developing an upgrade plan for the next generation of products.
Borrowing from the portable hard drive concept developed by RB, we can directly standardize the USB flash drive concept.
The next step is to use Motorola to influence IBM. They might even use their friend Wozniak to influence Steve Jobs' Apple, to use the USB interface.
These are all Xing Baohua's ideal plans, but people may not necessarily listen to his wild instructions.
Especially Uncle Qiao, he always used his own standards and never cared what others said, and he still succeeded.
This research and development project has indeed required a great deal of effort and involved two concepts: learning machines and more.
Although Xing Baohua had the Japanese laptop as a reference, he couldn't borrow too much. After all, he still needed to enter the international market, and this machine was prepared for next year's Canton Fair.
The second large workshop will be completed and topped out soon, and the large laboratory will also be completed in the spring. Once the design is finished and a prototype is available, we can just wait to put it into the workshop.
The only thing is output.
Unfortunately, many supporting components are not keeping up, whether it's the CPU, the LCD screen, or even the hard drive. We're all still in the experimental stage, and production volume simply cannot reach mass production levels.
However, it was still possible to produce over a hundred prototype units. This was arguably the first truly full-featured mobile computer in history.
The hype must be absolutely irresistible.
Xing Baohua was thinking about which system to use. Actually, the best option would be the Apple system, but he hesitated when he remembered that Uncle Qiao would charge a system fee.
That guy is ruthless; he's the kind of person who'd rather have money than his life.
Let's stick with MC-DOS! Gates is easy to talk to. And the price might even be cheaper.
Xing Baohua stopped calculating costs and went straight for the best materials and processes, only calculating the cost after the product was finished.
When Teacher Cheng heard that Xing Baohua was tinkering with real computers, he came over to take a look. After seeing the diagrams, he smiled and said, "We'll supply the J district first once it's produced."
Xing Baohua shook his head and said, "I haven't had time to calculate the cost yet, but I estimate that this thing is very expensive."
"How expensive can it be? I'll cover the entire J district for the first batch," Teacher Cheng said.
"This really won't do. I can't guarantee the quality at all," Xing Baohua said frankly.
"You've made it three-proof, and you still can't guarantee the quality?"
"Fake three-proof, the real thing will be exposed as soon as you test it." Xing Baohua began to explain to Teacher Cheng how ridiculous this thing was.
"You still want to export your ideas in this state?"
"Yeah, there are so many rich people in the Middle East! They won't even haggle over the price! Besides, this thing is only good for keeping out dust, it's not very useful for anything else. There's a lot of sand and dust in the Middle East, so they'll be fighting over it for this one thing."
"That makes a lot of sense. Could you develop a truly versatile rugged computer for District J?"
"Sure. But what's the price?"
“Price is not a problem; the tuition fee is a bit higher than usual this year,” Teacher Cheng said with a smile.
“If you have too much, you’ll just spend it recklessly!” Xing Baohua added with a laugh.
"No, after you finish this project, hurry up and get something practical done. Team J has a lot of uses on mobile computers too."
"Research and development is simple; it's just a matter of improving the quality of the appearance to meet the standards. But the key is that my production capacity can't meet the requirements!"
"Can Great Wall and Lenovo do OEM manufacturing for you?" Teacher Cheng asked.
"You're kidding me! 'Beware of fire, theft, and even Lenovo!' You're pushing me into a fire pit!"
"Tell me, do you have a grudge against that guy surnamed Liu?" Teacher Cheng immediately became gossipy.
"No, it'll be here soon, within the next few years. Don't you know how rivals are? Once my computer system is up and running, I'll be taking away a lot of their orders. That guy surnamed Liu will hate me to death!" Xing Baohua said, pursing his lips.
"What if we outsource the manufacturing to Great Wall Motors?"
Xing Baohua shook his head again and said, "Don't underestimate this thing; the motherboard was developed by our entire factory's research team. What do those two companies have?"
Teacher Cheng sighed and said, "What about the computer company in the provincial capital?"
"Are you being naive?"
