Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

No matter what the Zheng family thinks, it has nothing to do with Bao Zixuan. Now he has to go to the company to check on the research and development of computers, and then set off for Phil Hawkins' wedding in New York early the next morning. As the best man, he had to arrive early.

At 5:08 pm on April 4th, US time, the three of Bao Zixuan crossed more than 10,000 kilometers and returned to Boston. It's very late now, I'm going to go back to the company directly after getting off the plane.

When the security personnel of the Black Cloud Company of the United States saw the two Knights XV, it seemed that they had returned to the prosperous years when they were in the army. This is even more domineering and mighty than the armored vehicles they drove when the army faced each other. This is really produced by our company, which is the first feeling of many people.

There are many private modified car clubs in the United States. Black Cloud Knight XV can only appear in the public eye as a modified car. It is impossible to apply for a production license for a mass-produced model without passing the test of the Automobile Association.

Fortunately, the employees of the company had already arranged for the temporary status of these two cars before coming, otherwise, on the way back from the airport to the company, I could only ask a consignment car to drag it back for you; let alone drive to New York to attend the wedding.

On the way from the airport to the company, no matter who saw the Knight XV, they would look sideways, and at the same time avoid a distance, and by looking at the size, they knew that after the collision, their car would definitely suffer.

After returning to the company, the security guards still refused to get out of the car. Every man would fall in love with such a big car.

At this time, Hashimoto Hiroshi and a few engineers were waiting for Bao Zixuan at the company, and he was going to New York for the wedding tomorrow. Tonight, he wanted to hear about the research and development of the Black Cloud Computer Project. In fact, Bao Zixuan didn't want to work so hard. However, the construction of Heiyun Heiyun production workshop is getting faster and faster, and the current production capacity and sales can still match. If no new products are brought to the market by the end of the year, then there will be serious overcapacity, and then the shame will be on yourself.

Bao Zixuan went back to his room to wash briefly and then came to the conference room. He knew that his time at MIT was running out. If he didn't use the last limited time to develop some leading-edge technologies, he would be very difficult to return to Xiangjiang where there is a shortage of scientific and technological talents. It is difficult to have a major breakthrough, and even if there is, it will cost twice or even several times more than the current investment.

After Bao Zixuan took his seat, he saw Hashimoto Hiroshi and the four engineers below. These are top graduates from MIT with Ph.D.s in Electronic Technology and Computer Science. To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing for Hashimoto Hiroshi to manage this team, but now the Black Cloud Group has no available talents, so he can only take Hashimoto Hiroshi first.

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "Your Excellency President, we have already surveyed and mapped a prototype of the portable computer. According to our calculations, it can barely meet your requirements. The performance is only 20% higher than the current Apple 2nd generation computer on the market. However, our cost It is 4 times that of the other party. It has no commercial value at all."

Bao Zixuan: "For now, don't think about commercial development. We just want to develop portable computers first. If the cost is too high, we will only sell them to high-end customers."

"I just want to know when the product can be put in front of me, and when the software can be written. How is the combination of the window interface I gave you last time."

Heiyun Software used Bao Zixuan's idea to apply for a patent for the Windows interface in advance, and Microsoft will have to pay the patent fee to use it in the future.

At this time, a software engineer said: "The software has basically met practical requirements because the boss provided us with a reference to the Windows operating system. We are still looking for possible loopholes in the system. When we tested it on Apple's 2nd-generation computer, it was more Their current system is 20% more fluent and tested on IBM minicomputers, which is 35% faster than their current system."

Hearing the result of the software, Bao Zixuan was very satisfied. After all, he had already provided a lot of basic code, and he also had a big killer such as the window interface, which could kill his opponents in the early days of home computers.

Bao Zixuan: "You have worked hard. Our factory in Xiangjiang is about to be expanded. Whether it can reach the maximum production capacity and release your computer company plays a very important role in it. In my opinion, all products may be available in a few decades. It has been eliminated, but the computer can still be used for hundreds of years, but the performance is more advanced and the price is cheaper.”

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "We can produce a prototype in June, and if everything goes well in testing, it can be produced in the factory in September."

Bao Zixuan also knew whether it was right to develop a notebook computer seven years in advance, which violated the natural development law of science and technology; but this is also an impossible thing. It's easy to study a normal PC, but that would be a blow to Apple's market.

If it develops data workstations, it will take IBM's job. Although Big Blue is now facing an anti-monopoly investigation, it is not something that Black Cloud can afford to start a fire.

Bao Zixuan: "Have you calculated the weight and size of the prototype? What is the battery life? Can it meet the portable standard?"

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "Due to the use of a large number of titanium alloy materials, the weight of the prototype is about 2.5-2.8 kg, the size is 40 cm in width, 25 cm in height, and 3.5 cm in thickness. Using Philips' most advanced battery technology combined with our software. The battery-tuning technology, the normal charging time is 2.5 hours, if you have been using the computing volume to reach the peak, the charging time can be 1.3 hours. However, the cost of each battery is 80 US dollars.”

Bao Zixuan: "Do you have any technical problems that need to be solved and discussed urgently?"

The hardware engineer said: "Boss, the performance of our current chip is very unstable, and crashes often occur, but this is not only determined by the performance of the chip itself, but because we do not have a good cooling system, so that the chip can reach the level during the test. After the peak, it will heat up. The high temperature generated by the overheating of the chip will cause the motherboard, hard disk, and memory to overheat, and the computer will crash~www.readwn.com~ The system will also collapse."

"This is a problem that must be solved. Otherwise, our portable computer can only work normally for no more than 20 minutes each time. It will greatly reduce the use effect of customers."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan finally thought of a question, how to forget about the exhaust cooling system. So I picked up the pen and paper in my hand and started to draw. After a while, I drew an exhaust fan on the main part of the laptop computer.

Bao Zixuan held the paper and said, "We can add a brushless motor exhaust system here, so that the impact of the high temperature generated by the chip on the computer can be alleviated. Then, the lower part of the computer, that is, the host part, is completely replaced with a hollow shape. structure so that the hot air can be expelled.”

From 7 p.m. to 2:30 in the morning, several engineers from Heiyun Computer Company continued to improve the design plan under Bao Zixuan's suggestion, and all the unreasonable designs in the early stage were overturned.

Finally, when everyone presented the newly designed scheme in the form of drawings, all the engineers admired the new design scheme.

The products made according to the current drawings are stronger than the initial version in terms of appearance, performance and rationality. The boss's reputation at MIT really didn't come for nothing, it was created by his own strength.

These people have been discussing for almost three months and have just finalized the performance of the components of the product, that is, the appearance and overall combination have not reached the ideal requirements.

The ideas of science and engineering talents are relatively simple, and whoever has the strongest ability will trust and trust whoever. And willing to use him as the core. Bao Zixuan now wants to keep all the high-end talents here in the Black Cloud Group, and even bring them to Xiangjiang if possible.
