Chapter 445 Overly Enthusiastic?
With the attention from higher authorities, a solution must be found.
The goods cannot be returned, only repaired. All the researchers and engineers at the company were mobilized to study the hardware one by one.
The final conclusion was that the motherboard and CPU were incompatible, preventing the CPU from performing at its full potential.
Having a reason is better than having none; this was also the explanation given to the company's senior management.
Adjusting the motherboard is impossible, since it's a copy of another brand's motherboard. Perhaps the original motherboard from that brand had a design flaw.
They didn't have the original image; they just reversed it. Perhaps the problem lies in the reverse side, which is unknown.
Since we know that the motherboard and CPU are incompatible, we should first measure the CPU utilization and then work on that.
Not to mention that even if all the work is assigned and each person is responsible for a part, and then combined, it can only be barely usable by using downgraded systems and application versions.
As long as the program doesn't increase CPU usage, it can still run stably.
Once a solution is found, the technicians responsible for frontline maintenance are instructed on how to operate it. However, when the customer arrives, they are told that the system is unstable and requires an older version, as the latest software cannot be used, and they are asked to find other older versions of the software.
They also warned customers not to install the latest software, as it would still easily cause malfunctions, and that they should contact their company to purchase the older version of the software if it was unavailable.
Wow, this move didn't damage the reputation of the company; instead, it made them a lot of money from software sales.
The Luzhong Photolithography Research Institute relocated to Huancheng, a county town in the north. It's actually located on the border between central Shandong and the county town. Although the land belongs to the county town, its jurisdiction still lies with the city.
Not only is the transportation convenient, but more importantly, it is not far from the High-tech Zone, especially the newly built power plant, which makes it much more convenient to use electricity.
It's a major electricity consumer, requiring dedicated power lines. To maintain secrecy for the lithography research institute, a high-walled compound was specially built, and a special industry security system was applied for, with two shifts of WJ officers stationed there for security.
Those who know it are aware that it's a high-tech research institute, but those who don't might mistake it for a place where prisoners are held.
This place is not only inhabited by lightning-devouring beasts, but also by gold-devouring beasts.
With Xing Baohua's meager profits, even if he throws in over 10 billion yuan, it would only last for a little over ten years.
No matter how difficult it is, we must continue research and development, and upgrade step by step. We've finally narrowed the gap; if we relax even slightly, the gap will likely widen again by several generations.
You don't know how painful it is to be held back by technology unless you work in the electronics industry.
We're on the verge of self-destruction, and we don't know how long we can go on like this. All we can do is keep our heads down and take it one step at a time.
The future belongs to the information industry chain. If we don't have the key technologies in our own hands, what kind of development can we expect?
It's like Huawei stirred up a hornet's nest by developing the Kirin chip; look how much trouble it's caused others.
Having learned from past mistakes, Xing Baohua had to be extremely careful.
After settling things at Luzhong Company, Xing Baohua headed to Guicheng, the capital of Guizhou Province.
I had previously promised Xu Si that if the company needed to expand to other places, we could consider his classmate's company.
Before coming, Xing Baohua called Xu Si's classmate using the contact information to explain that she wanted to go and investigate.
Xing Baohua, accompanied by two bodyguards, arrived at Guicheng Airport in his private plane.
A group of people were already waiting for him to arrive.
The visitors assumed Xing Baohua would bring a large group for the inspection, but to their surprise, there were only three people.
"Hello, Director Xing, I am Li Wanjiang, the Party Secretary of Tongcheng. Welcome to visit and inspect our area," the first middle-aged man said politely to Xing Baohua.
"Hello, sorry to bother you, Secretary Li," Xing Baohua said politely, shaking hands with the other party.
Li Wanjiang also introduced the city leadership team that accompanied him; basically all the prominent members of the Standing Committee came to greet him, which shows how much importance the other party attached to him.
Xing Baohua shook hands with each of the local bigwigs before boarding the convoy they had brought.
Since Tongcheng is quite a distance from the provincial capital, requiring more than five hours of travel, everyone grabbed a quick bite along the way.
As Xing Baohua listened to Secretary Li, who was accompanying him, introduce the geography and culture of Guizhou Province, and looked at the picturesque mountain scenery, he also felt it was very beautiful.
“Your province is different from other provinces and cities. There are many mountains here, unlike the plains where farming is done. Most of the land is terraced, and animal husbandry is also difficult to develop. Therefore, the average income here is relatively low,” Secretary Li explained.
Xing Baohua nodded and replied, "The whole country is in the same boat now, striving for development. Secretary Li, there's an old saying: 'Those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water.' Your province has many mountains and rivers; I wonder if we can rely on them?"
"Hahaha! Why does your voice sound like a bandit's? Did you get the inspiration from that TV series 'The Bandit Suppression in Wulong Mountain' last year?" Secretary Li thought Xing Baohua was joking, so he chimed in with a compliment.
“I haven’t watched the TV series, but what I’m saying is true. If Tongcheng has any tourist attractions, we can develop them properly. Boosting tourism will greatly benefit the surrounding areas, such as local culture, specialties, and handicrafts,” Xing Baohua said.
"Director Xing truly lives up to his reputation as a worldly man. What he said is excellent. We'll go back and study it in light of the local cultural industry. Culture is necessary, but industry is equally important. We hope Director Xing will continue to support our city," Li Wanjiang said with a smile.
Although Li Wanjiang gave a perfunctory reply, Xing Baohua probably didn't take his words to heart. Industrial development was the key, not some time-consuming soft culture development. To build that up later would require a much larger investment of human, material, and financial resources.
