“Then why don’t you bring him with you to see the goods? At least he’ll know the quality of the goods, and I won’t have to worry about it,” Zhang Taoming said with a sigh.
“Not now. He’s not one of our own. I don’t trust taking him to see the goods! That kid’s shrewd.” Liu Haibo refused on the spot.
"It's settled then. Taozi will book his tickets tonight and leave tomorrow," Sun Changjie said.
The next day, Xing Baohua went to the factory office before work, found Director Liu, and listened to his instructions.
The foreigners haven't returned yet, but the factory has already sent people to the club to make preparations. As for whether any city leaders will come to participate, there's no word yet, but we need to be prepared for both possibilities.
The factory office secretary prepared the leader's speech.
Everyone in the reception team seemed very busy, except for Xing Baohua, who was idle. He was the translator, and since the foreigners weren't coming, he could only sit idly by.
Sitting in the large office, smoking a cigarette, reading the newspaper.
During this time, Director Xue came over and saw this guy's nonchalant attitude, which was a bit outrageous. He went over to him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
“Yesterday, Director Liu assigned me to be in charge of translation at the factory. Isn’t this what I’ve been waiting for?” Xing Baohua said.
"After all, this is an office, with people coming and going. Be mindful of your image. It wouldn't be appropriate if a leader came by. You'll be a leader in the future, so you need to set a good example," Director Xue admonished.
"Yes," Xing Baohua quickly stubbed out his cigarette and replied. After seeing Director Xue shake his head and leave, he sat down again with his legs crossed.
After waiting for about half an hour, I was told that the car had returned and I would go to the club later.
As Xing Baohua went downstairs, she saw Hou Liwei getting off the minibus and thought to herself, "So he went out to play with us. No wonder I haven't seen him for several days."
Hou Liwei also looked at him.
Xing Baohua sensed a hint of hatred in Hou Liwei's eyes as he looked at him.
This guy doesn't care about these second-generation soft shrimps at all.
If it's someone like Sun Changjie or Liu Haibo, Xing Baohua needs to be more careful.
Xing Baohua went over and hugged George and the others. They chatted casually for a few minutes about how their trip had been.
The commendation ceremony was quite dull; the main factory leaders were giving speeches, but the city leaders never showed up.
Lunch was also excessive, and Xing Baohua ate to his heart's content. This time, the foreigners weren't forced to drink alcohol, mainly because the people from the Foreign Affairs Office stopped them.
In the afternoon, they were taken to the provincial capital airport. Large and small bags were piled up on the minibus, showing the factory's enthusiasm. In addition, giving some local specialties to international friends was not against the rules.
Xing Baohua's audio equipment was packed very well, with foam boards used for all the packaging. The only downside was the slightly higher baggage fee at the airport.
After seeing the person off, Xing Baohua hurriedly left; his shop was very busy.
There are two sets of speakers alone. The most troublesome part now is the appearance. The production is quite complicated, and Xu Shuai sometimes can't handle it all by himself.
Finally, Xing Baohua found two temporary workers from the original single dormitory to help out, paying each of them 1 yuan a day, and the two guys were overjoyed.
Some things were difficult to process, so Xu Shuai and Liu Quan would find ways to bring them into the factory, process them, and then find ways to get them out.
Not only does the audio system need to be set up, but the calculator also needs to be debugged. Although it's still missing a calculator casing, its performance needs to be tested repeatedly. The LCD display, chip output to the port, control buttons, power consumption, and so on all need to be recorded in detail during the tests.
Xing Baohua not only included anti-cracking and unlocking features in the code he wrote—it's actually a very small program—but he also added synthesized voice.
"One plus one is two"—you can imagine a magical sound popping into your head: 1+1=2.
The unique, mesmerizing synthesized electronic sounds are captivating. Foreigners will likely find it fascinating; it'll easily fetch a high price. It saves you the trouble of looking at numbers; it just tells you the price directly.
However, Xing Baohua encountered a problem: the battery drained quickly. Two AA batteries were used up in just two days.
That drawn-out, lingering tone is even more addictive. No, it's like a torrent. After listening to it twice, you just want to smash it.
The problem of high power consumption has been found: the LCD backlight display consumes too much power.
The root cause is difficult to solve; the only solution is to use a wired power supply with a transformer.
This fixes the calculator in place, eliminating its flexibility for movement.
If wired connections and transformers are to be added, the casing will need to be remade.
That would increase costs, which is unnecessary. I should quickly take the display panel to Section Chief Shen and ask him to reinstall it.
I'll also write two more chip programs.
He needs to rewrite the interrupts that allow control programs and character storage, as well as data storage, to give the calculator a one-time storage function.
The controller primarily controls the power supply and can also control circuits for voice, display, and buttons. As for whether or not a clock should be included?
Xing Baohua considered it and decided to add it as well. More features mean more money.
After writing the code, you still need to optimize it.
After meeting Section Chief Shen, I told him that the display panel was wasting too much electricity, and I even showed him a sample.
A mesmerizing voice rang out from the purchasing department.
one…plus…… one… is… two
That extremely long, drawn-out, grating sound stimulated people's nerves.
