Chapter 173 A Product of a New Era



Every family has its own troubles.

Xing Baohua's family was nothing special. After getting rid of a bunch of relatives who wanted to take advantage of him, he left his father 10,000 yuan, which he had barely managed to scrape together.

The factory's products have not yet generated any revenue; all that has been invested has left little of the previously raised funds.

This 10,000 yuan is only for relatives who are truly in need of emergency funds. If someone gets sick or needs to go to school, it can be used for emergency purposes.

As for those who want to build houses and buy cars, they can just stay out of the way.

Xing Baohua also wants to buy a house and a car.

The cars I drive are all borrowed.

Others only see his glamorous life, but who knows the hardships he went through to start his business? Those who only know how to take will only encourage their greed.

Mr. Xing wiped away his tears and said that he would play the villain and let Xing Baohua focus on his work.

Don't worry about these things.

Xing Baohua actually had no feelings for those relatives; they weren't his relatives at all. He only went along with them because of his father's connections.

Father Xing was still that wall, protecting Xing Baohua from the wind and rain. Since that was the case, Xing Baohua didn't want to care anymore.

Once Alcatel's money arrives, we'll leave some for the family.

Xing Baohua is truly poor now.

Back at the factory, Xing Baohua saw Woz earnestly studying the game. He was playing the computer that Xing Baohua had assembled with incredible skill.

I was previously interested in working with Wozniak on game development, but I can't just be idling around. The two-way paging system is almost finished with its design, but there are still some voltage issues. Luckily, Wozniak is here, so he can help me take a look with his perspective from this era.

When Woz took a break from studying the game, Xing Baohua showed him the blueprints.

After two days of observation, Wozniak pointed out to Xing Baohua that he should swap out a few capacitors and filters, remove two, and also remove two hidden circuits on the motherboard.

Xing Baohua also considered it seriously and felt it was a good idea, so he decided to give it a try.

I must say, a master is a master; his skill was truly extraordinary.

They called in a small team: Liu Quan and Niu Jishan were still in charge of the motherboard, while Xing Baohua was in charge of the chip.

Guo Kai, the chief exterior designer at the electronics factory, was responsible for drawing the designs.

This time, a keyboard was added, and Guo Kai's drawing is indeed not very good. It lacks that sense of industrial style from that era.

Xing Baohua had to do it himself. When considering whether to use the Blackberry or Nokia design, he came up with two versions. One was a purely English version, using the early Blackberry design, which was indeed a bit ugly.

The Chinese version uses e72, and the forehead is made of silver-white metal.

It also supports interchangeable colored cases. Two colors are available: burgundy and pure black. Actually, Xing Baohua wanted to use white, but felt that white would get dirty easily, affecting the brand image.

As for the English version, few people in China will buy it, so these will become grey market goods and go abroad.

The grey market supply chain can be handled by Liu Haibo and others. After all, they know a group of people who dealt in foreign waste before, and they can export it in reverse.

Xing Baohua, who was busy with modeling, was greeted by an unexpected guest.

It was none other than Zhao Shanhai from Factory No. 4, the very factory that had tricked him with sweet words.

"Director Zhao, is there something you need?" Xing Baohua put down her work and asked him.

Zhao Shanhai glanced at Woz, who was playing on the computer, and hesitated before speaking.

Xing Baohua waved his hand and said, "He's fine. Just say what you need to say."

“Alright. Here’s the thing, Director Xing, Factory No. 4 used to have two generators. I wonder if your factory would like them? If so, I can get them for you,” Zhao Shanhai said.

Engineer Zhang from the design institute initially suggested that Xing Baohua install two generators directly underground.

Back then, Xing Baohua had to be extremely frugal with every penny! He didn't have the spare money to think about generators! They were so expensive!

With that money, wouldn't it be better to build and buy equipment? It's only been a month! The changes are so rapid!

First, make a phone call to ask if the blueprints are ready, and then ask if it's still possible to install the generator underground.

On the phone, Engineer Zhang told Xing Baohua that it was fine, and that the drawings would be ready next week, so he could send them over.

The superiors' policy for Xing Baohua is to provide land; they have already consulted with the town's officials to see how much land they can offer.

Alternatively, the town could offer alternative land in the surrounding area, requiring a series of proposed solutions.

Based on Xing Baohua's current funds and future development scale, he needs at least 30 mu of land.

The city allocated fifty mu directly to save us from running out of space later.

When Wang Kai told Xing Baohua this news, Xing Baohua was really worried.

The little money I have isn't enough to show off.

Let's do it while the land is cheap and easy to process. In later generations, even two or three acres wouldn't be approved, and if they were, the price would be astronomical.

The generator needs to be taken care of by an expert.

It just so happens that Teacher Cheng will be coming over in a couple of days. I'll ask him to find an expert in this field to take a look, so we don't waste money buying two useless machines.

Tell Zhao Shanhai that the generator is needed and tell him to go back and wait for news.

The data and samples from the completed mold were given to the plastics factory to produce the outer shell. Xing Baohua's first request was to use the best engineering plastics, demanding the highest quality in terms of impact resistance.

In other words, even if it falls to the ground and breaks in two, or even if parts fall out, the outer shell remains intact and can still be reassembled and used.

Use Nokia's quality and philosophy to instill loyalty in people regarding the pagers produced by Xing Baohua.

In the program, Xing Baohua still used Motorola's data link and frequency range, so that it can be interoperable with Motorola products when Motorola enters the domestic market in the future.

Xing Baohua also conceived of a premium version, which would add wireless data connectivity to the two-way paging system.

It can connect to a computer and exchange data.
