Chapter 100 Where do you want to take the exam?

It can be said that without this laser typesetting technology, our printing technology would lag far behind, and even eventually become undistributable due to the large number of Chinese characters.

The first generation was developed abroad, and soon the second and third generations were launched simultaneously, and they were ready to enter the domestic printing market. However, foreign laser typesetting technology did not include Chinese characters.

If it weren't for Wang Yuantu's pioneering spirit, our publications would even have to use only pinyin and English.

If this continues, Chinese character culture will be in danger.

From the start of the '748' project in 1976 to its successful market trial in 1986, only we ourselves know the pain that went through.

I didn't expect Yan Cheng'an to be involved in this. I really admire him.

But it's normal. Yan Cheng'an studied computer mathematics, a rare major at University, and now he is bringing glory to the country in the right field.

Starting this year, domestic laser typesetting technology has made rapid progress and has quickly improved the problem of missing characters. It took less than two years for the technology to go from being conservatively criticized in the beginning to being widely used across the country.

From nothing to a market share of over 95%, accounting for 90% of the global Chinese market, this technology has firmly secured its position in the country's printing industry, and there is no need to worry about being strangled by foreign technology.

It was because the printing factory used this technology that Sister Hang and her colleagues were able to recruit workers one after another.

After all, laser typesetting technology only requires computer input, and after typesetting and imposition, it can be directly output by machine development.

This thin transparent film directly replaced the thick and dirty lead plate, allowing the country's printing technology to officially enter the digital age.

Digital printing technology has already made its mark, and if I can catch this trend...

You can make much more money than selling small commodities.

State-owned factories gradually declined, and private enterprises flourished. The printing industry not only printed books and newspapers, but also promotional pages, calendars, wall calendars, various envelopes, paper bags, business cards and other businesses.

Even later on, various celebrity posters, stickers, greeting cards, notebooks and exercise books were all included in the printing category.

Then came the albums, photo albums, test papers, supplementary questions...

During the golden age of development, the printing industry was also booming. It only took a few years for many people to go from having nothing to owning a mobile phone.

However, the printing industry is different from selling clothes. It is a technical job. From typesetting to platemaking, plate making, developing and printing, any mistake in any step may cause the printed material to become waste.

Hang Jingshu often listened to Sister Hang talking to him, and he had some idea of ​​what was going on.

She remembered that the state-owned printing factory had already started reselling its machines in the early 1990s. If she could get them...

Hang Jingshu showed no expression on his face, but he was already beginning to stir in his heart.

Only those who have truly understood it know how profitable it is.

The profits of the printing industry are not a few times of a small business, but dozens or even hundreds of times!

A set of films with the same content can be used repeatedly. The more you print, the more you earn!

In my previous life, the eldest sister Hang Jingmei had never been able to divide the family property. The couple's salary had to be handed over every month, and they had no money left at all!

I missed this opportunity because I had no funds. Now that I have a chance again, I must seize it!

The pre-exam day is just a few days away. After a brief distraction, Hang Jingshu chooses to calm down and continue to memorize.

There are thousands of ways to make money, but nowadays the college entrance examination is the most important.

Recently, Wang Silan's store business is still booming, and some people are jealous, but the Wang Silan today is no longer the same Wang Silan as before.

No matter how many people came to ask, she could always change the subject without leaving a trace.

There are also some people who follow the trend and sell small commodities, but Wang Silan's shop is exquisitely decorated, every item is wiped clean, and there are mirrors for trying on.

Even if someone tries to get a bargain by buying from roadside stalls, they still have more options than buying from Wang Silan's store.

The main purpose is to show off the things I bought here!

Everybody is well-off, so they don't take a few dollars seriously. Young girls and wives come here for a stroll and seldom leave empty-handed.

This is also the reason why Hang Jingshu directly targeted the urban market at that time.

If you buy a hairpin in the village, you would want to wear it from birth to pass it down to your family. The perspectives of people in the county town are different from those in the city.

If you buy things only for practicality, then trends are meaningless.

Moreover, following Hang Jingshu's suggestion, Wang Silan would sell some products at a 10% discount every Sunday afternoon. These were usually slow-moving items, but as long as they were cheap, people would buy them.

This will clear some inventory and also bring back funds.

As long as the capital chain remains healthy, the small business can continue.

The pre-examination will be on May 9th, and from then on it will be a screening process, and only those with sufficient scores can take the college entrance examination.

Hang Jingshu had already exceeded the high school entrance score line, so Teacher Cai had nothing to worry about her. On the contrary, Zhou Xiaoli, who had been fluctuating around the pre-examination line, was miserable.

Zhou Xiaoli's family is well-off, but her grades have always been erratic. It would be fine if the child really didn't live up to her expectations, but she always gives people some hope.

What parent doesn't want their child to succeed? That's why Zhou Xiaoli has been tortured terribly recently.

In order to motivate her, Zhou's father even promised her that he would buy her a car as long as she could take the college entrance examination!

What a great temptation this is.

Before the pre-exam, both the top and bottom students in the class were very calm, but the middle students were extremely nervous, as they could make a different choice just by one point.

"Xiao Hang~~"

Zhou Xiaoli, who was abused again, pulled Hang Jingshu and cried, "This knowledge won't go into my head!"

Zhou Xiaoli is the typical example of a student who is neither good nor bad in the class. She cannot keep up with the class and cannot lie flat even when she tries to do it.

Hang Jingshu raised his head from the sea of ​​questions, stroked Zhou Xiaoli's messy hair and consoled her: "Go for a walk and bring me a piece of candy."

There's no point sitting here and getting tangled up in my thoughts. I might as well go out and change my mind.

When the brain is overloaded, of course you can't learn anything.

Hang Jingshu usually balances his schedule by cooking and growing vegetables, and he is quite used to this rhythm.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye. Looking back, I was still a girl living in the mountains last year, but now I can study in the classroom of No. 1 Middle School in the city.

The pen in my hand was bought by Wang Silan. I don’t know how much ink I have used up in this period of time.

Hang Jingshu was very careful in his work. If he didn't know the answer to a question, he would write it over and over again with a pencil. When he really knew the answer, he would write it down again with a fountain pen, so as to achieve a deep memory.

During this period, there was less weirdness and intrigue in the class. Since Li Yufang moved away from Zheng Ruyue, her grades improved by a big step, and she improved by 8 places.

You can only rely on yourself to fight for your future.

"Xiao Hang, do you have a school in mind that you would like to apply to?"

Hang Jingshu raised his head from the sea of ​​questions and his eyes met Wang Chongyun's slightly flushed face.
