The console itself has reduced costs. But what about the memory card? How can it be called a learning machine without a memory card? No, how can it be called a learning game machine!
Without an additional card, future expansion will be difficult. A card must be included at the factory. Alternatively, the program could be embedded into the motherboard, which would allow for some space optimization.
If it's inlaid, it can't be expanded.
Or should it be compatible with Atari cards? Xing Baohua thought about it and decided against it; being compatible with Atari cards would mean using their operating system.
It will be compatible with Japanese Famicom cartridges later on. As long as the price of cartridges comes down, everything will be fine.
Let's get some ROMs from Zhang Xuebao first; we need to study this. Walking back to the workshop, Xing Baohua suddenly remembered, "Doesn't Liu Haibo still have some boards? We can disassemble them!"
But how are we going to explain this to them? They asked us to assemble a computer, and we did manage to assemble it, but we've gone astray!
We need to have a serious talk with them about how profitable the learning machine business is. As for the motherboard, it's like trying to assemble a computer; it'll just end up as a game console.
I ran into Su Ya coming downstairs as I left the office building.
Su Ya took two steps and walked up to Xing Baohua, asking, "What's wrong with you? Why are you sweating so much?"
"Hot."
“Your clothes are soaked. How about I buy you a set of polyester clothes? They’re cool to wear.” Su Ya said, looking around at Xing Baohua’s body to see what size Xing Baohua wore.
"Come on, wearing that stuff is really uncomfortable. It doesn't absorb sweat, it sticks all over your body and it's really uncomfortable. Where are you going?" Xing Baohua asked.
"It makes me so angry. Liu Juanjuan didn't come to work again, so I'll do her work. There are some documents that need to be sent to each workshop." Su Ya made a helpless expression, her little mouth pouting in a cute way.
“You didn’t report her, alright. Just consider it running an errand. Give me the documents from Workshop 5, so you don’t have to run around.” Xing Baohua said with a smile, while extending his hand.
"Forget about submitting a report. You guys are in the fifth... wait, it seems there isn't a fifth workshop." Su Ya said to Xing Baohua after looking at the documents in her hand.
"What document is it? Let me see." He took a few sheets of paper from Su Ya's hand. Upon inspection, the document was about thrift.
Xing Baohua didn't look closely, but he roughly understood what it meant: the other workshops were probably being a bit extravagant in their production.
Furthermore, the document requiring each workshop to cut costs indicates that the factory is going to reduce expenses. The first step will be to cut costs on materials, and then gradually reduce unnecessary expenditures. Such a large factory can't be rushed; it needs an adjustment period.
As for Workshop 5, they didn't receive this notice. This means that Workshop 5 hasn't wasted any materials yet, but it'll be done soon.
Xing Baohua and Su Ya walked side by side. Su Ya whispered, "It seems like my mom knows I'm dating someone."
"Did you tell her about me?" Xing Baohua asked.
"Not yet, but they asked me the other day if I was dating someone. I was so scared I didn't dare to say," Su Ya replied, blushing slightly.
"Why not say it! It's not like I'm lying to her." Xing Baohua didn't seem to care much, but she didn't see things from Su Ya's perspective.
"Ugh, you didn't tell your family either, did you? I just don't want to tell them. I'll tell my mom when I feel like it," Su Ya pouted, then suddenly burst into laughter.
Her laughter was captivating, brimming with youthful energy and girlish vitality. Her face always wore a pure smile, her eyes narrowing into slits with each laugh.
This scene left Xing Baohua stunned, as if he were recalling his innocent high school days.
Suddenly, Liu Quan ran over and said urgently to Xing Baohua from about ten meters away, "Hua Zi, something's happened."
Xing Baohua was startled and asked loudly, "What happened? Did something go wrong during production?"
He turned to Su Ya and said, "You go deliver the documents first, I'll go check on the workshop."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing, don't rush!" Su Ya said, waving to Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua quickly took two steps to meet Liu Quan and asked, "What happened?"
"Xu Shuai was sent to X Institute by the security department."
"What did he steal? How could he be so careless?" As soon as Xing Baohua heard that Xu Shuai had gotten into trouble, he knew that the kid hadn't done anything good! Moreover, the thing he stole was quite valuable, otherwise the security department wouldn't have transferred it to the X institute.
"Stealing someone's life."
"What the hell?" Xing Baohua stopped in his tracks, staring at Liu Quan in surprise. He was wondering how the person had been stolen. Had he been knocked unconscious and carried out, or stuffed into a sack and pushed out?
Liu Quan gestured with his chin toward Su Ya's back, who had already walked away, and said, "Isn't there someone named Liu Juanjuan in her office?"
"Yeah! Holy crap. Xu Shuai..." Only then did Xing Baohua realize that Xu Shuai was cheating on her.
When did they get together? That repressed guy, he didn't even say a word.
Then Liu Quan said, "My uncle came to the workshop looking for you, but couldn't find you. He asked me to pass on a message to you. I was thinking, why don't we go to the institute to inquire about the situation and also see Xu Shuai?"
"There's a problem here. If Xu Shuai and Liu Juanjuan are in a normal romantic relationship, neither the factory's security department nor the X institute has any right to interfere!"
“It’s none of our business, but Liu Juanjuan is pregnant,” Liu Quanyi said.
"Damn it, I forgot about that. Of all things to steal, why did I have to steal..." Xing Baohua slapped his forehead, muttering to himself.
