Chapter 1362 A new beginning (second update, please subscribe)
"...With the delivery of F4 fighter jets, it also marks the restoration of the relationship between the two parties. Facts have proved that the relationship between the two parties can withstand the test, and the arrival of this batch of fighter jets is bound to enhance the company's air power..."
The news coming out of the car radio is not just pure news but also discussions among commentators. Although the conflict in the Congo is considered a secret to some extent to the outside world, the relationship between the company and the United States has been in the past. It has indeed been tested to some extent in the past few months, and this has naturally caused some social discussions.
The conflict in Congo has even caused market fluctuations. After all, capital is sensitive. However, now with the delivery of US aid aircraft, it means that everything is over.
While listening to the news, Luo Mingjie's hands were holding the steering wheel of the car, and there was a report on the passenger seat.
When turning off the engine, he looked at the report specifically, then put the report into his briefcase, took a deep breath, walked out of the car with the briefcase, and walked toward the elevator.
IDM company.
If it were two years ago, it would have been one of thousands of companies in Borneo, unremarkable, but last year it was accompanied by the success of the 101 microprocessor. IDM has also become the leader among dozens of electronic start-ups in the company, and overnight IDM has become the darling of the market.
Now, with the success of the Wangan 100 electronic computer, the 101 microprocessor has been recognized by the market, and the company has rapidly developed into a well-known chip company.
And all this is due to Elias's foresight.
In the general manager's office, Elias stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring into the distance, filled with emotion. Back then, as a doctor, he chose integrated circuits, and based on his ideas, he developed the first truly meaningful on the microprocessor!
With the success of the 101 processor, there was the success of IDM, and now Elias has a new goal.
At this time, the office door opened and Luo Mingjie walked into the office.
"Clarity,"
They were college classmates, studied for Ph.D.s together, and founded this company together. During the development process of the 101 processor, Luo Mingjie contributed a lot. To a certain extent, he was the one who created this processor.
"Mingjie, you came just in time."
As soon as Luo Mingjie entered the office, Elias walked to the desk and said:
"Did you see the news?"
"What?"
"The Industrial Security Bureau of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry approved an export license for the sale of "Deep Blue 2000" electronic computers to the United States."
Taking the newspaper from Elias's hand and taking a look at it, Luo Mingjie thought of the previous news and said:
"The United States has resumed aid to the company, and we have approved export licenses. Well... this is diplomacy."
"No, no, that's not what I'm talking about. Look at the price - 16.8 million US dollars each! That's almost 42 million yuan! The domestic price of a Deep Blue supercomputer is as high as 29.92 million yuan. The extra profit of a supercomputer That’s more than 12 million!”
When he mentioned this profit, Elias's expression was filled with envy. How could he not be envious?
The money earned from exporting supercomputers is US dollars!
As we all know, in the past ten years, the yuan has been depreciating to stimulate exports. From the initial exchange rate of 1:1 with the U.S. dollar, the exchange rate has been floating around 2.5. Because of this, when settling in U.S. dollars, corporate profits It's extremely impressive.
Then, he said:
"Do you know how much our company's sales were last year? It was only more than 10 million! It's not as good as selling a supercomputer. In the end, it's this supercomputer that makes money. I did a brief research on Deep Blue, and I What about supercomputers? It’s not that complicated. I think we have the ability to develop this, so I decided that this is our next research direction!”
"Supercomputer?"
Luo Mingjie said:
"Qingdu, regarding the company's next step of research, I have an idea, which is that there is a vacuum in the market below the 101 processor. The 101 microprocessor is indeed excellent, but it is too expensive, costing 1,500 yuan. We must use a processor at this price It costs at least 10,000 yuan to build an independent computer. Even an ordinary BMW family car is only this price.
It is hard to imagine that any family or individual would be willing to spend such a huge amount of money to purchase such a strange and bloated machine that has no idea what it should be used for. Therefore, most of its buyers are interested companies and universities, which naturally limits its use. market. ”
After handing over the report, Luo Mingjie said:
"So, I think we should develop a cheap processor. Its performance should be basically similar to the 101 processor, but the price should be only about 20% of it, or even lower, and then sell it to thousands of households. Household.”
"Are you dreaming?"
Elias said directly:
"Sold to thousands of households? What do ordinary people use it for? Okay, okay, let's give up this idea. We don't need to develop this. Next, our focus is on it..."
Pointing to the news in the newspaper, Elias said:
"Mingjie, next year, next year we will let the world see a more powerful supercomputer! By that time, we will become a company as powerful as an international electronics company."
"But Qingdu, I think this is the future! We should..." Before he could finish speaking, Elias said:
"Mingjie, these things are not what you think they are. You are good at technology, but you are a layman when it comes to the market. Well, it's decided!"
Faced with such an arbitrary decision, Luo Mingjie was a little confused. He obviously did not expect such an answer.
"However, Qingdu, we must see that the potential of this market is unlimited, and we should invest our efforts in this area."
Luo Mingjie's objection made Elias' face instantly turn ugly. He said:
"Mingjie, I have already decided on this matter, supercomputer! The company will develop this in the future! As for other things, the company will not consider it for the time being!"
Won't consider it!
The moment he walked out of the office, Luo Mingjie even had the urge to throw the report into the trash can, but in the end he suppressed his inner dissatisfaction. ,
At this time, he even understood the exact mood of his own people: either he was angry at his old friend for his ignorance, or he was sighing that he was underappreciated for his talent. But no matter which mood he was in, this mood did not extinguish his thoughts.
After returning to the office, looking at several colleagues who were busy, Luo Mingjie thought for a while and said:
"Da Liu, come to my office!"
Soon, facing Liu Yi who entered the office, Luo Mingjie said:
"Da Liu, I have an idea..."
Sometimes, a spark can start a prairie fire, but before that, many people would think that that spark is doomed to go out. Only when it really burns will people realize that the world is what it is. Changed by that spark.
Human beings should look forward. Only by looking forward can we see the future and hope. Just as Luo Mingjie left the IDM company with four assistants, at the other end of the company, in the Feiyue Radio Laboratory in Chang'an, a woman wearing a white dust-free suit was picking up an object from the table.
"This is it!"
The corners of the woman's mouth were raised slightly, her beautiful face was full of expectation, and the heavy sample in her hand bore the logo of Feiyue - Feiyue is one of the company's most well-known laboratories, which was founded in New York, USA during the war.
This laboratory was located in New York in the United States in the early days. It was not until more than ten years ago that the laboratory moved to Chang'an. However, it has always had a branch in New York and still employs hundreds of American technicians. It is the company's most important overseas experiment. One of the rooms.
In the past decade or so, Feiyue Laboratory has made a lot of achievements in the field of electronics, and has also undertaken contracts from the military and space exploration technology companies.
However, the person in charge of this laboratory is a woman - Hedy Lamarr. This movie star-turned-scientist is also a celebrity in the company. As we all know, she is the real "big lady". However, in addition to these two identities, she is also a scientist. The frequency hopping technology she invented has been widely used in the military and communications fields.
Because of this, there is a saying circulating in the company's scientific community: "Those who are smarter than her are not as beautiful as her, and those who are more beautiful than her are not as smart as her."
However, Heidi has never been satisfied with this. In fact, she boarded Li Yian's "thief ship" because he promised to give her a laboratory, and Li Yian also fulfilled his promise - the Feiyue Laboratory was his Gift.
In the past ten years, Heidi has spent most of her time studying and researching. Although she is still as beautiful as ever, she is more well-known for her wisdom.
"8 years!"
Turning around, Heidi, holding the sample, smiled at her colleagues behind her and said:
“It has been a full 8 years since I proposed this idea 8 years ago...”
At this time, Heidi had forgotten the circumstances under which Li Yian came up with this idea. Was it in the study? Or in bed?
Does it matter?
It's not important, what's important is that that guy always has some fantastic ideas in his mind, and it was his fantastic ideas that made Heidi fall into the "pit".
It took eight years to research. In the past eight years, she spent most of her time in the laboratory, working with other engineers to realize the idea bit by bit.
At this time, looking at the sample in her hand, she couldn't help but said to herself:
"That guy, if he knew the news, he would definitely be shocked!"
When the surrounding engineers heard what she said, they all looked away and pretended not to hear, because they knew who the guy the lady was talking about was.
Gao Yishu on the side saw this and said:
"Ma'am, maybe you should make the first call yourself!"
First call!
The assistant's suggestion made Heidi's lips curl up, her beautiful face revealed an intellectual smile, and her fingers gently pressed the familiar number...
