Chapter 32 Let's Run VCD!
Su Yuanshan made a cup of instant coffee for his uncle that had just entered the country.
My uncle took a sip and frowned: "Anyone who sits in the office is happy to drink this thing?"
"No, mainly because I always feel like I'm living a middle-aged and elderly life early." Su Yuanshan handed the cookie box to his uncle again - this is what Xi Xiaoding's snack ghost strongly recommended: "Do you know what your sister said yesterday? She actually called me to make some wolfberry to drink, saying that it was to refresh her eyes and calm down."
Puff! Zhang Ke couldn't hold it in, and sprayed coffee all over the floor.
Su Yuanshan shrugged, pulled a few pieces of toilet paper and wiped it clean and threw it into the trash can. He sat next to his uncle and smiled, "Uncle, you can't come to see your nephew so early, right?"
Zhang Ke has been busy with communications companies in the past month. He radiated to the Han River to the east of the mountain city with the provincial capital as the center, and opened branches in these three large cities. He also followed Su Yuanshan's opinion, not only selling "Zhongxin" paging, but also selling other brands. However, under the suppression of Zhongxin's unique Chinese phones, other English phones, including Motorola, have very little volume, and even after the price is reduced, few people will be interested.
"Just received the news, Motorola will be out of Chinese phones next month, and the price is still uncertain." Zhang Ke put down his coffee and stared at Su Yuanshan and said seriously: "We are domestic products, and they are imported products."
"Uncle, Wang Chaoxin is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" Su Yuanshan smiled and comforted: "After we authorized Chinese coding, Wang Chaoxin began to deploy in all Chinese regions. And in China, domestically, domestic machines are naturally much cheaper than imported goods - we don't have tariffs."
Moto only established an office in Beijing in 1992, and then built a pure foreign-funded production base in TJ at the same time. Nowadays, Moto is still a pure imported product, while Yuanxin BB machine is a purely independent property and has been given a "gift" first Han-style display machine - the one who should be trembling is the "shameful" moto.
My uncle hesitated and nodded: "Okay... Anyway, I listen to you. The communications company is always here, and it makes money from any brand."
After seeing off my uncle, Zhu Jianting walked into the office again, smiled and handed Su Yuanshan a paper boat, and blinked: "Miss thank you letter."
"You're not talking nonsense, are you?"
Zhu Jianting joked: "People think it was my mentor who helped me, so of course I can only tell the truth - why don't you be my mentor?"
"Well, senior brother, don't joke." Su Yuanshan took apart the boat and smiled when he saw the font.
He was very familiar with this font - now it was the period when Pang Zhonghua's copybooks were rampant. As long as he was a student, both men and women were practicing the chubby font. Ye Rudai complained to him at the beginning, saying that the first thing she did after the college entrance examination was to practice calligraphy hard, and then he corrected Pang's style a little.
The content of the letter is very simple, just a pure thank you, without a girlish heart, nor a foolish face, revealing the simplicity and reserve of a standard coder.
The signature is Dai Peiye. Looking at this name, Su Yuanshan thought about it - I guess the girl's mother's surname is Ye.
"I don't need to reply, do you?" Su Yuanshan looked up at Zhu Jianting and smiled.
"Whatever you want, it seems she will go back tomorrow. Why don't you leave an address and make a pen pal?" Zhu Jianting continued to sincerely say: "This girl is really good-looking."
Su Yuanshan immediately decided: "Forget it, don't delay others' studies, and I don't have that much time to write."
Zhu Jianting shrugged and left with a look of not regret.

In the next month, Su Yuanshan, who escaped the misfortune of returning to school, stayed in Qin Weimin's office almost every day, communicated with his senior brother and group members, and improved the microcode and instruction sets almost one by one. Faced with this kind of imitation of arm, it was actually a brand new architecture. Even if Su Yuanshan joined the team, he was extremely cautious. Sometimes, just a compilation instruction, they had to discuss and test for a day. After all, the architecture is like a precision building block, and any movement will involve the whole body - so the initial underlying architecture is particularly important, because all upgrades in the future will be based on it.
At the same time, Su Yuanshan had to take time to pay attention to Li Mingliu's team. When Li Mingliu almost made a military order that it could be completed before October. In the last month, Li Mingliu almost tried his best to work overtime until ten o'clock in the evening. When he handed the floppy disk to Su Yuanshan on the last day of September, he was already covered in greasy and dirty faces, and his stubble had grown half a centimeter.
"Fortunately, I'm not disgraced." Li Mingliu walked into Qin Weimin's office, threw the floppy disk onto the table, and his whole body collapsed onto the sofa.
Qin Weimin took the lead in applauding: "Congratulations."
"Awesome." Su Yuanshan also slowly applauded: "Senior Brother Li, your team will be released for five days on National Day. Those who need to pay advances will find Sister Tang, and then the reward will be paid when you come back, so that everyone can relax."
Li Mingliu bounced up, and her face turned red with fatigue: "I thank you for your brothers in advance - can I take a holiday in advance if I pay my salary in the afternoon?"
"Yes, yes!"
Watching Li Ming and Liu Feng go out in a burgeoning manner, Qin Weimin smiled meaningfully: "Old Li is the first team to complete the design independently, right?"
"Yeah." Su Yuanshan weighed the floppy disk and let out a sigh: "Although this chip is not difficult, it is the first step toward commercial chip design."
"That's really gratifying." Qin Weimin asked again: "What will their team do next?"
"General power management chip, vcd master control chip."
Qin Weimin was stunned: "vcd?lcd, right?"
Su Yuanshan smiled: "video cd, an independent video playback device based on the mpeg format, using CD to store sounds and video formats - you will know when it is designed, it will definitely be a new product that can blind you!"
Qin Weimin also smiled: "Then I'll wait for you to shine."
Back at the computer room, Su Yuanshan opened the design project and ran the simulation again. After seeing that all the data meet the requirements, he let out a long sigh.
There is no doubt that Li Mingliu is also very strong, which is in line with his status as a master of T.A. However, whether he can shoulder the burden depends on his future performance.
Although VCD is a brand new technology, its image quality is not outstanding compared to laser LCD. And those highly developed countries basically popularize these two types, so the actual main market is only in Asia, to be precise, East Asia and Southeast Asia.
There is another reason why VCD is popularized, that is, these developing countries generally do not have any audio and video copyrights, and rely on a large number of cheap pirated discs to provide rich content, which has enabled VCD to enter thousands of households.
Nowadays, VCD still faces a problem. As a brand new consumer product, it does not have the attributes of self-propagation, so how to promote it is a very challenging operation - Su Yuanshan is not as stupid as Wan Yan, and will spend tens of millions of advertising on TV to open up the market.
Yuanxin provides complete machine authorization and chip sales, and then find someone to take over and open the market for yourself first, which is still very pleasant.
Chapter completed!
