The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Today, America’s game market leader is “Atari”.

Atari started out as an arcade machine and later reached its peak with the "Atari 2600 console".

In the early 1980s, it occupied the vast majority of the American console market.

The company's market value once reached $32 billion.

When Google's game console suddenly appeared in the American market, it did not attract Atari's attention because it was not promoted in traditional media.

When an article in the "Air World Post" appeared in the hands of Atari executives, they immediately stopped being calm.

In less than a month, 20 game consoles were sold out, making it so popular that one is hard to find.

Young people need to buy it at a 5% premium, and a game console actually aroused the interest of scalpers.

According to the current momentum, sales of tens of millions of units are possible throughout the year.

1000 million units, priced at US$168, which is more than US$4 million.

The uncle could bear it, but Atari couldn't. He sent marketing personnel to collect information about Google, prepared gifts, and planned to visit officials from the Foreign Trade Bureau as soon as he got the news.

At this time, the second batch of 500 trained workers at the Shekou Google factory also joined the production line.

Production immediately increased significantly, with monthly shipments increasing to 1.5 times, which means monthly production of 30 units.

The reason why it has not doubled is mainly due to insufficient chip supply.

There is no way to put the production capacity of the second radio factory wherever it is.

At this time, Li Yuan's desire to design a new lithography machine was extremely high.

The current production capacity and manufacturing process of Radio Factory No. 2 simply cannot satisfy the OEM of new products in the future.

This will seriously constrain Google's development.

Shekou Google Company is only the first phase of the project, and the second phase of the project is waiting for the profits of the game console.

Let’s first look at the production and sales of game consoles, and let’s focus on Li Yuan again.

When the Shekou factory started production, Li Yuan started visiting the four units involved in the drone project as agreed.

The first choice was Kyoto Institute of Technology.

Entrusting the child representative to contact the school, Li Yuan rushed to the school on a sunny day.

It was a Sunday in early May. Li Yuan came to the school gate wearing a clean tunic suit and a ponytail.

The 1980s was an era rich in literature, with poetry, prose, and novels springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

The 1980s was also an era rich in literary and artistic youth. Young people of this era are melancholy, romantic, and full of idealism.

Scar literature is the current mainstream.

Some artists like to grow their hair to express freedom, individuality and originality.

Li Yuan, dressed as an artist and with his extraordinary temperament, successfully entered Kyoto Institute of Technology.

The receptionist waiting at the door didn't look at him at all.

These men in science and engineering have always scorned those so-called artists, thinking that they are just a waste of resources.

Especially among today’s students, if anyone doesn’t know a few modern poems, it seems that he or she is not a young person in the new era.

A large number of students participate in the school's poetry recital every week, which is unacceptable to the old teacher who has worked hard for the revolutionary cause all his life.

Although I reported it to the school leaders many times, the atmosphere was such that nothing happened.

When Li Yuan asked along the way and came to Laboratory 312 in the main building, all the teachers and students in the laboratory thought that Li Yuan had gone to the wrong set.

"Comrade, what's the matter with you?" Professor Fang frowned at the door and asked.

Li Yuan took out the temporary ID that Representative Tong helped make from his jacket pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man opposite.

The other party took the certificate, opened it doubtfully, and then looked shocked.

The last person who attended the meeting was Professor Lu Yanbing, who has been on a business trip to a base in the south recently.

Professor Lu is dedicated to academic research. He forgot to explain Li Yuan's appearance last time he came back, or he didn't want to mention it at all.

He introduced the composition of the project team to everyone, left the information, and hurried to the southern base.

Professor Fang, who took over the project, is better at analog technology, and this is his first exposure to digital communication and frequency hopping technology.

I found a teacher from the computer department and studied for a long time, but still had no clue.

There is no way. Currently, the Computer Science Engineering Department of Kyoto Institute of Technology’s School of Computer Science only has two directions: computer software and computer applications.

Most of the research conducted by teachers and students involves computer software, and they are powerless with hardware.

In this way, time dragged on day by day.

Since the project Mr. Lu is currently responsible for is strictly confidential, he cannot be contacted at all.

The stubborn Teacher Fang never thought of going to the project team leader.

Yesterday, I suddenly received a call saying that the deputy project leader was going to visit the laboratory today.

They cleaned up the laboratory last night and sent teachers to stand guard at the school gate in the morning.

Unexpectedly, the deputy team leader found the laboratory by himself and gave them a shock.

Looking at Li Yuan's attire and age, everyone also understood why the teacher did not receive the deputy team leader.

Professor Fang was stunned, and others in the laboratory found it even more strange.

"Professor Fang, do you have any questions?" A young teacher came over and asked Professor Fang while looking at Li Yuan warily.

Professor Fang didn't react until he was asked.

"Ah! It's okay, Teacher Shi."

After speaking, he immediately handed the certificate to Li Yuan and said, "Comrade Li Yuan, you are welcome to come to our laboratory to guide the work."

Everyone felt familiar when they heard Li Yuan, but no one connected him with the deputy team leader.

Only Teacher Shi who was nearby suddenly reacted, "Li Yuan! Deputy team leader!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the laboratory was filled with "ah" sounds.

"What are you doing standing around here? Come here and welcome Deputy Team Leader Li Yuan." Professor Fang greeted everyone quickly.

He was an intellectual who was rehabilitated in 1975 and had an instinctive fear of some officials.

When he saw that Li Yuan was so young, the first thing he thought of was the second generation official.

I hate it in my heart, but I manage my expression very well and keep smiling.

Upon hearing Professor Fang's greeting, more than 20 people in the laboratory recovered from their shock, exchanged glances, and gathered around.

Li Yuan was not surprised and looked at everyone with a smile.

His "arrogant" expression only heightened Professor Fang's suspicion.

"Comrade deputy team leader, there should be 22 people in the laboratory, but there are actually 20 people. Please give your instructions."

No one in the laboratory laughed at Professor Fang's performance.

It is not easy to persevere in the bullpen and return to work.

Nowadays, major schools are short of experienced teachers or professors, and there are even fewer who can lead teams to conduct research.

Li Yuan looked at the teachers and students in front of him and felt a sense of intimacy.

"Dear teachers and classmates, I am a double-major graduate from Huaqing in the 60s, one of whom is in computer science.

During school, I spent most of my time in the laboratory.

So, when I come here, I feel like I have returned to more than ten years ago, and I feel cordial."

As soon as Li Yuan finished his opening remarks, discussions started everywhere.
