Later improvements will depend on the CPU.
However, the advanced CPU was Xing Baohua's weakness.
I had just finished discussing the design of the tablet with the hardware team members who hadn't taken a break when the software team called Xing Baohua over.
This is because the problem has been discovered but cannot be solved.
After arriving and understanding the situation, I realized what problem I had encountered.
The software team developed a map application using the Java programming language.
At the time, Xing Baohua casually mentioned that he wanted to find a map of Hong Kong, scan it into an image format, and then compress it.
The scan was successful, but the file size was too large.
This involves compression algorithms.
We also need compression software, and we need to find a few people who are good at math to work together on the compression algorithm. It's difficult, extremely difficult.
To be honest, Xing Baohua had never actually worked with this thing before; it already existed when he first learned how to use a computer.
And they never disassembled the package to look at the kernel inside.
Fortunately, there are many college students who excel in mathematics, so we invited them to join us as a team.
Regardless of whether you design the formula, you also need to know how to calculate and program it.
Xing Baohua was looking at a scanned map on the computer. Goodness, it was 1.14m long, which was almost enough to fill a floppy disk.
It has to be compressed, otherwise the volume would be too large!
This software will be developed, but it won't be used on mobile phones for now, unless the format needs to be changed to adapt to raster format images.
But that would be equivalent to remaking it, and the existing scanned images can only be used on computers or the tablets that are about to be developed.
After having people brainstorm ideas for compression software, Xing Baohua returned to his office, checked the time, and shook his head.
After waiting for several hours until it got dark, Xing Baohua made an international call to Wozniak.
I guess this guy had just woken up, and when he heard Xing Baohua's voice, the other party greeted him happily.
Xing Baohua asked Woz which compression software on the market is good to use.
At the same time, tell the other party about your current problem: the digital image converted from scanning a picture takes up a huge amount of space.
Wozniak said, "Xing, I don't recommend you buy the compression software currently on the market. Of course, you can try it, but the ones I've used are very time-consuming to compress and don't compress much."
"Any recommendations?" Xing Baohua asked.
Wozniacki mentioned a few software names, which Xing Baohua wrote down so he could find someone to buy them later. He made sure they weren't similar in algorithm, otherwise he'd be sued when the software was released, which would be disastrous.
“I think you should start with the scanner, change the scanning program, or perhaps reduce the image size,” Wozniak suggested again.
Xing Baohua slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "This is a great method!"
Yes, it's even more difficult now.
If the software needs to be compressed, the programs in the hardware also need to be modified accordingly.
Okay, for the sake of a map software, let's change it.
After finishing my call with Wozniak, I was going to call my secretary, but it was getting late, so I decided to do it tomorrow.
Therefore, Xing Baohua did not want to borrow from others' work, but instead directly used Wang An's printer patent to create a four-in-one printer.
Scan, print, copy, fax.
Scanning and faxing have been around for at least a hundred years.
Speaking of fax, it predates the invention of the telephone by more than thirty years.
This thing doesn't seem to have much technological content now; its only advantage is in the scanner itself.
Xing Baohua could have easily adapted the early products into their own technology.
This involves both digital conversion and programming within the program.
In the past, if Xing Baohua had done it on his own, it would have taken a lot of time. But now, the power of the team has shown Xing Baohua what speed really means.
For now, we'll use Wang An's patent for photocopying and printing; we'll use it as soon as we buy it.
We changed it to several models, including machines that could print and copy independently, and then to three-in-one and four-in-one machines, allowing customers to choose products based on their different needs.
price?
It has to be expensive; otherwise, it would be a disservice to independent research and development.
Xing Baohua didn't rest much. She first prepared her plan in her mind and then wrote it down on paper during the daytime while she was at work.
Looking at the plans, Xing Baohua was extremely busy.
Fortunately, Director Li's original administrative team was there to help Xing Baohua manage those messy affairs; otherwise, Xing Baohua would have been annoyed long ago.
Even so, Xing Baohua still had to make time to hold a meeting with them.
After all, an electronics factory is a large factory, with a lot of construction and money involved.
There are also various resource adjustments that require Xing Baohua's personal coordination.
Since Director Li had only recently taken office, there were many things he couldn't do.
The power plant's blueprints and generator sets also require a responsible person's signature, but Director Li was unaware of the specifics.
The only option is to ask Xing Baohua to step in.
After the agreement is signed, the construction team from the provincial capital will begin construction work.
However, the initial entry fee required Xing Baohua's signature for disbursement.
Xing Baohua first gave the other party a two million yuan entry fee, which was enough to cover leveling, digging ditches, and earthwork.
Xing Baohua didn't want to spend the rest of the money, so he had to borrow money from the bank.
Call Zhang Taoming and ask him to contact his family contacts to come to the office to discuss a large loan.
Zhang Taoming readily agreed, saying he would handle it as soon as possible.
Don't be fooled by the fact that banks across the country are tightening credit.
But high-quality clients like Xing Baohua will be eligible for loans.
After all, they have the ability to repay the money.
Xing Baohua knew a little about it; banks weren't having an easy time either, and it was very difficult to get the loans they had made back.
Almost all of them became bad debts or uncollectible debts.
Businesses are struggling, and banks can't do much about it. Plus, many businesses are guaranteed by the government, making it even harder to collect debts.
