Chapter 189 Even if the aliens come, they will speculate on real estate(1/3)
After leaving the classroom, Lin Ping came to his own R&D center to care about the progress of arcade development. After all, this is the next gold mine, and the benefits it brings are no less than those of red and white machines, and it can even help Lin Ping gain a foothold in the global game market.
"We are making great progress. Now what we have to do is stack hardware on the previous machine. After successfully replacing a more advanced hardware, how can we recompile the software environment? Based on our current R&D progress, we can come up with a preliminary prototype within a month. What is complicated now is not the stacking of hardware, but the new writing of the software environment after the hardware is greatly improved. Especially the coordination between two Motorola 68000 chips. If the two chips cannot be debugged well through software, the performance of the entire system will be far lower than expected." Professor Ma reported to Lin Ping the latest R&D progress.
For Lin Ping, this kind of hardware upgrade is equivalent to an upgrade of computer hardware in later generations.
Swap two G of memory with insufficient performance to 8G or even 16G of memory. Swap low-end graphics cards with higher performance to graphics cards, and replace I3CPU with better I7 processors.
For laymen, this kind of hardware upgrade is just to eliminate poor performance hardware and replace it with better performance hardware. And for most people, all this is just a matter of spending money.
However, for professionals, not only should they match the hardware model, but more importantly, the mutual coordination between the underlying software. If the software cannot be coordinated, the hardware will not be recognized.
"I will not urge you to mobilize all the power that can be mobilized. We have time. I believe everyone will succeed in the end. After this success, I will give everyone a good bonus to everyone who participates in this project to improve everyone's life. However, when everyone works, they must keep it confidential and ensure that no news will be leaked. In addition, when the finished product is about to be completed, make a few game cards with a stock of 5 megabytes to facilitate my game in the future to test the performance of the new machine." Lin Ping spoke loudly, and the seven or eight people working in the room could hear it clearly.
When everyone heard Lin Ping say that he would give a good bonus, he smiled knowingly.
I believe that Lin Ping's words will not take long to reach every person involved in the research and development.
"Professor Lin, don't worry, we will definitely do this. We can't do mass production, and there is no problem in developing a new machine. However, based on our current R&D progress, it is estimated that the domestic defense of Motorola 68000 chip cannot be completed at all.
By then, there will be no high-capacity products in China. It seems that Professor Lin can only produce this product overseas." Professor Ma was in a very complicated mood when he said this.
As a member of the research and development, everyone knows very well what kind of success the game console has achieved in the market?
A small game console actually drove the overall semiconductor industry of a country. They did not expect such a feat in advance.
Now that it has been reflected, some people have actually expressed in a tactful way whether to postpone the development process of arcade machines.
Anyway, red and white machines are very profitable now. Even if the arcade development process is delayed for about a year, it will not delay Professor Lin's dream of becoming rich.
However, this precious year can give the domestic semiconductor industry valuable room for growth. The imitation of chips and the research and development of memory may make significant progress.
In the past, although the superior leaders attached great importance to it, they had not been raised to a special level after all. But now it is different. Many important leaders have already spoken, hoping to use this east wind to make the domestic semiconductor industry a breakthrough for economic transformation. Such expectations are not too high. After all, what leaders often say is to cross the river by feeling the stone, and now the semiconductor industry is this stone.
Other industries hope to learn from the semiconductor industry to learn from the experience and how to use one point to bring about a whole area. Everyone also looks forward to the launch of other industries with flagship products, so that they can not only earn foreign exchange internationally, but also connect the entire industrial chain and upgrade the overall industry chain.
"After this arcade was developed, I was not in a hurry to mass-produce it immediately. However, with the product in hand, I could raise funds better. Once I had more money in hand, everyone could study what really sounded high-end.
I hope that after this project is completed, I can jointly develop a computer project with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I hope that it can catch up with the pace of foreign peers and allow personal computers to enter thousands of households." Although several personal computers have been born on the market now, the popularity of computers is only some sold in developed markets.
As long as the R&D process keeps up, there will be a chance to compete with foreign counterparts in this market in the future.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When the two major systems of Apple and Windows have not yet unified the world, Lin Ping must make a way out. Even if he wants to use the Internet to burn money, he must firmly occupy more than 30% of the market.
Once you miss this best opportunity, you will want to enter this field in the future. I am afraid that the price you will pay will be tens of thousands or tens of thousands of times that now.
After all, for most consumers, this time the choice is not about which brand to choose to change from an old computer to a new one! Instead, you have to choose the first personal computer in your life.
What Lin Ping had to do was to apply white papers on his own color.
"Our current R&D process, especially in dual processor mode, has requested some degree of help from the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We will complete this project as soon as possible and then jointly devote ourselves to the direction of computer research." Professor Ma said confidently.
Lin Ping did not stay for a long time, but encouraged him and chose to leave.
Lin Ping still has a lot of work to complete at present, especially the preparations before leaving for Neon Country to complete the competition.
Although Lin Ping brought up Panasonic Group, he wanted to firmly grasp the registration entrance. For those who lived in the era of the Internet explosion, he obviously cared about the traffic entrance.
Lin Ping wants his magazine to become the source of all registrations, and this time he sets off to establish his own magazine branch in Neon Country.
Previously, Lin Ping's idea was to complete the manuscript at the magazine headquarters. After the translation was completed, it was distributed to all levels of markets, and printed and bound locally in local markets. In this way, the things that need to be transported are only original manuscripts and can be carried directly by plane. It is far more than ten thousand times better than the large-scale air transport that mobilizes the headquarter after printing at the headquarters. Not only does it save money for air use, but it will be very convenient even if the content of the manuscript is temporarily adjusted.
However, this is the non-network era after all.
If you want a magazine to successfully take root in all levels of markets, in addition to the excellent content of the magazine itself, you also need a large amount of local content to please local magazine subscribers.
What Lin Ping has to do this time is to make adjustments. 20% of the content and cover of the magazine itself belong to the headquarters, and 80% of the content will be completed by local editors. In this way, if the core content remains unchanged, more content can please local readers.
However, Lin Ping did not intend to establish an independent branch in each market, but instead adjusted according to the size of the market.
Markets like Gangcheng, Lijiapo and Taipei are naturally more suitable for a headquarters.
In foreign countries, even if they are both English magazines, they must distinguish the market and make adjustments to varying degrees.
This time, Lin Ping went to Neon Country to not only set up his own magazine branch, but also to open his own business center locally. As Asia's largest economy, Lin Ping does not want to miss the crazy development of this country in the next few years.
Before the economic bubble burst, the country's economy will be crazy for several years. With these few years, it will be enough to integrate its business center into thousands of households.
"How many days will you go this time?" Before leaving, Ye Wenzhu had a meal with Lin Ping.
"It may take half a month this time! But if the work goes well, I may come back early." Lin Ping said while eating.
Listening to Lin Ping leaving for half a month, Ye Wenzhu suddenly said shyly: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Listening to Ye Wenzhu's tone, Lin Ping tilted his head curiously and looked at Ye Wenzhu.
"Are you planning to skip class for half a month? Or are you reluctant to leave me? No, if you can't bear to leave me, why haven't you come to me to chat with me at night?" Lin Ping suddenly leaned into Ye Wenzhu's ear and said.
Listening to Lin Ping's questioning, Ye Wenzhu put down the chopsticks in her hand and responded shyly: "If I come to you in the evening, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? If this is spread, how would the classmates discuss? The reason why I want to go to Neon Country is because I want to see the city. I heard that Tokyo is the largest city in Asia, and I really want to see it well. In addition, I also heard that girls in Neon Country are very beautiful. Just like Mayumi in the movie "Chasing" it is very attractive to men.
Do you know? A female classmate in our class has been in love these two days and even had the idea of dropping out of school. The senior he likes is a student from Tsinghua University and is now working as an exchange student in Neon Country. This senior has only been abroad for more than half a year, but he has a girlfriend in the local area.
I clearly have a partner in China, but I changed my heart shortly after going abroad. And replying to the female classmates in our class in the letter is very hurtful. Maybe I just felt a little sorry for seeing other people’s sad things these two days. You have to stay away from those girls when you go to Neon Country! You are so handsome and have so much money on your hands, and more importantly, you are so talented." Ye Wenzhu was full of worry.
Looking at Ye Wenzhu's careful expression, Lin Ping felt helpless.
"You have not passed the door yet, so you are so broad. In the future... Then I can't even meet women? Shouldn't I take Yao Rongrong and Zhang Yan away from you first? After all, I have met them a lot. Aren't you afraid that one day I will suddenly run away with these two women?" Lin Ping said jokingly.
When it comes to Yao Rongrong and Zhang Yan, it is obvious that Ye Wenzhu doesn’t care at all. Ye Wenzhu still has this confidence!
When he heard Lin Ping mention these two men, Ye Wenzhu gave Lin Ping helplessly.
"Of course there is no problem when you go with me, but this time I have some business cooperation and I don't have time to play with you. Your Japanese is not up to date, so it may not be appropriate to stay in the hotel all day after I go.
Why not wait until the next time I wait for my business itinerary to be less intensive, I will take you to have fun for a few days." Lin Ping couldn't help but feel a little headache when he thought of the next work he had to do.
Ye Wenzhu was a little moved when she heard that Lin Ping didn't take him.
However, when thinking of Lin Ping's work, Ye Wenzhu had no choice but to accept it.
Even if you have emotions, you should not be able to disturb his work.
"Then you have to buy me some gifts, especially some postcards when you come back. If you want to buy more, I have to give them away. After watching the movie, my cousin especially wanted to go to the city of Tokyo and the scenery of Mount Fuji." Ye Wenzhu had no choice but to ask Lin Ping to bring some postcards back.
"Postcard?" Ye Wenzhu didn't mention this word, and Lin Ping almost forgot that if someone could send a postcard from abroad these days, the person who received the letter would definitely feel very proud.
First, prove that you have a relationship abroad.
Secondly, you can also see the scenery abroad.
After all, even in these days, even if I buy dishes abroad, the money I earn in a year is as good as that in China for more than ten years.
"Yes! It's the postcard. My cousin collected one. It was just that I got wet once. Although it was dried and it was not damaged. However, there were obvious water stains on the postcard that became less beautiful than before.
Although my cousin didn't say anything, I once saw my cousin crying secretly. It was not until one day that my parents told me that the postcard was my father's sustenance for him.
I hope you buy more and I can give more friends." Ye Wenzhu leaned her head on Lin Ping's shoulder and said coquettishly.
"I thought your cousin had a boyfriend in Neon State, and it turned out that her father left it to her. Otherwise, you give me your cousin's address. I mailed some from Neon State to her so that the postcard would have local postmarks. With the postmark, will it look more special! At least it is more commemorative than the blank postcard.
Maybe others would say that the blank postcard is a product printed in China. With the local postmark, at least everyone will not doubt this." In order to satisfy the little regret of Ye Wenzhu's cousin, Lin Ping thought about it and asked for the other party's mailing address.
Hearing Lin Ping say this, Ye Wenzhu's eyes suddenly shined.
"Okay, okay! You don't have to bring me back. You mail them all back. I want every postcard to have a local postmark." Ye Wenzhu shouted happily. But while he was happy, Ye Wenzhu suddenly looked a little dim.
"My cousin's unit cannot communicate, not that it cannot be mailed to it. It requires layers of review. It may take one or two months to mail it to her. After all, it is a confidential unit, and you should understand it! Even if you mail it to her, you can only write an intermediary's address to get the letter.
This address is the address where their unit received the letter publicly. I will copy it to you now, after all, it is more memorable to mail it to her." Ye Wenzhu found paper and pen while speaking and began to copy the mailing address of her cousin.
A few seconds later, Ye Wenzhu handed over the mailing address to Lin Ping.
"Ye Wenjie... Why do I feel a little familiar with this name?" Lin Ping suddenly felt very familiar when he saw this name.
"Did our relatives mention it when you went to our house last time?" Ye Wenzhu said subconsciously.
Lin Ping did not think about it carefully but went to check the mailing address.
"Red River Bank Observatory, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia?" Lin Ping thought of something when he saw this name.
"Is your cousin's workplace in Daxinganling?" Lin Ping suddenly looked at Ye Wenzhu with a serious expression and asked.
Ye Wenzhu was shocked when she heard Lin Ping suddenly reveal her cousin's work location.
My cousin’s work location is just written in general in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, and not in Daxinganling.
The four words "Daxinganling" were secretly told by my cousin, but I had never told anyone about it.
Moreover, my cousin repeatedly instructed not to talk to others about her work location.
I haven't said it before, why did Lin Ping guess it in one go? Did he know this place in advance?
"How do you know?" Ye Wenzhu asked in surprise.
"The place where your cousin works is not a Red River Bank Observatory at all. Is it called the Red River Base?" Lin Ping trembled all over his body when he asked this.
Once this problem is confirmed, it will be obvious what world you come to.
"No, no, no. No!" Ye Wenzhu didn't expect that even the four words "Hongban Base" could be said from Lin Ping.
This was because I begged my cousin many times, and then my cousin told me with a serious expression.
But he repeatedly told that if he talked to outsiders about Hong'an base, he might be at risk of being shot.
I didn't expect Lin Ping to know such a confidential matter!
