When will I have a long tassel?

“Linyiji’s wood carving machines are selling like crazy!”

At the Longhu Machinery Factory in Heling City, Jinnan Province, the factory director Zhao Xinggen took a newspaper and muttered to his brother Zhao Xingwang, who was the chief engineer of the factory. His tone was full of envy and jealousy.

On the newspaper he took, there was a full-page advertisement, which read in large fonts:

"Wood carving machine tools are responsible for entrepreneurship; if you have a long tassel in your hand, your life will be brilliant!"

Qin Zhongnian led the technical team of Linyi Machinery to complete the design of the wood carving machine in less than 10 days. At the same time, New Jingwei Company has also completed the development of special pattern design software for wood carving machine tools.

According to Tang Zifeng's requirements, this software highlights the "idiot" feature. Anyone who has never had a computer background can fully master the use of the software after only two or three days of training. The software has a scanning interface. When equipped with a scanner, it can scan pictures and automatically generate engraving patterns. At that time, the operator can directly submit the pattern to the wood carving machine for engraving, or carry out secondary development based on the pattern to create Produce better graphics.

Since many functions in the original Huaxia CAD system have been deleted, the software's demand for computer hardware has also been reduced, and it can run smoothly on a 486-level computer, which undoubtedly reduces the cost of use.

Everything is ready, Linyi Machinery and the Linhe Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China jointly launched a free training on wood carving machine tool operating technology. 50 laid-off workers selected by the province's labor department came to Linhe and became the first batch of trainees. After a week of training, the trainees had mastered the operating techniques of wood carving machine tools. They returned to their hometowns with machine tools and computer equipment that smelled of paint, and immediately opened a wood carving shop.

According to the feedback from the first batch of students, the business of the wood carving shop is extremely booming. The students did not even have the opportunity to use the pattern design skills they had learned. They just used various pattern templates given by Linyi Machine. The wood carvings, calligraphy and paintings they carved were in short supply, with several earning over RMB 10,000 within a few days.

Dongye Daily quickly reported on it, hailing the Changying brand wood carving machine tool as a treasure trove of laid-off workers and a money printing machine, and also praised the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China for providing entrepreneurial loans to laid-off workers. Guo Yunce's name was indeed on the list. Front page headlines. Guo Yunche was overjoyed when he saw the newspaper and immediately instructed Tian Linlin to frame the newspaper in a glass frame and draw a red line under Guo Yunche's name in the article to alert outsiders to pay attention.

Perhaps Tian Linlin was too excited when doing this. The red pen trembled slightly, and the red line crossed Guo Yunce's name diagonally, which made people look a little weird. However, all the employees of the Industrial and Commercial Branch chose to pretend to be blind about this matter. This is of course beside the point.

With the successful experience of the first phase of training, the second phase of training for laid-off workers also started quickly. At the same time, the sales department of Linyi Machinery began to advertise in newspapers across the country, claiming that there was no distinction between men and women, and no distinction between north and south. Anyone who is interested in the wood carving business can come to Yiji to receive training. The training fee is free of charge and they are responsible for their own food and accommodation.

In order to cooperate with the advertising, Tang Zifeng found his senior brothers and sisters who were reporters in several national media through Wang Zijie, and invited them to come to the machine for interviews to build publicity for the wood carving machine tool.

Using technology to benefit laid-off workers and opening up new ideas for laid-off re-employment is the biggest highlight of Linyiji's wood carving machine tool business. At this time, when state-owned enterprises across the country were at the peak of their layoffs, top leaders made speeches time and again, calling for attention to the issue of reemployment after laid-off workers. Information related to this was undoubtedly a hot topic in the news.

After several senior brothers and sisters visited the laid-off workers who opened woodcarving shops, they confirmed that Linyiji's achievements were true and that they were of immediate benefit and lasting success. So they wrote touching articles one after another with their wonderful pens. Deep article. While praising Dongye Province’s great achievements in promoting laid-off re-employment, it has also spread the reputation of Linyiji wood carving machine tools to the north and south of the country.

At this point, it is difficult to think about whether the wood carving machine tool is popular or not. Countless self-employed people gathered in Linhe, squatting at the gate of the factory waiting to buy machine tools; the re-employment authorities of several provinces sent orders for seventy or eighty sets; there were also some craft woodcarving factories that heard that they had such good equipment. We came to learn about it, and after seeing it, we placed a large order to free up the workers in the factory who were holding carving knives.

The booming sales made the sales department happy, but made the production department miserable. The production office has made calculations, and according to the maximum production capacity, Linyi Machinery can only provide more than 200 wood carving machines a month. In just one month, the sales department received orders for more than 1,000 units, with the words "urgent, waiting online" written on all orders.

All workshops were at full capacity, and Zhou Heng promised countless bonuses to encourage workers to work overtime to complete orders. Even so, a large number of follow-up orders still have to wait in line, and the furthest time slot is already half a year away.

Such a good business situation has irritated countless domestic peers. It's okay for those large state-owned machine tool factories to say that they don't feel that a job worth 8 million yuan is not worth putting down their dignity to grab. But those rural machinery companies along the coast are so envious that their eyes are red with envy. They wish they could transform into an octopus and stretch out eight hands to snatch orders into their bowls.

"This machine tool has no technical difficulty. We can completely imitate it, and we can even make it better than the Linyi machine. However, we don't understand the control principle of the machine tool at all. Just imitating the machine tool will be of no use." Zhao Xingwang said to his brother dejectedly.

When the Changying brand wood carving machine tool first became popular, the Zhao brothers had already set their sights on this product.

Jingnan is one of the first provinces in the country to get rich. The first thing farmers do when they get rich is to build houses, and they compete with each other for luxury. It is very common for them to have carved beams and painted buildings. In Dongye Province, Tang Zifeng estimates that one county can support at most one or two wood carving shops, while in Jingnan Province, one township can support several wood carving shops because the wood carving business is so abundant.

Earlier, some local machinery companies in Jingnan produced wood carving machine tools, but their functions were limited to carving some simple patterns, and the operation was very difficult, so sales were very limited. After the Changying wood carving machine tool appeared, carpenters from all over Jingnan were eyeing this simple and easy-to-learn yet powerful artifact, and rushed to Linhe to purchase it.

Due to the insufficient production capacity of the Linyi machine, most Jinnan carpenters were unable to buy spot goods and could only get a queue order, waiting to be called...

How could the Zhao brothers sit still in the face of such a business opportunity? They immediately bought a long-tassel machine tool from others at a high price and prepared to dismantle it into eight pieces for imitation.

As soon as he got the machine tool, Zhao Xingwang knew that it was not easy to imitate. From his perspective, of course he can see that this machine tool is actually a simplified version of a gantry milling machine, using the design idea of ​​copy milling. The core of the technology is pattern calling and tool feeding strategies.

Pattern calling is implemented by a CNC module. The operator needs to read the graphics file generated on the computer or the pre-made library into the memory of the machine tool using a floppy disk. Then the microprocessor in the CNC module will convert the graphics signal into milling data. The control signal of the cutter movement controls the forward and backward, left and right and up and down feed of the milling cutter, thereby carving the required graphics on the wooden board.

The idea is not complicated, but the encoding method of the graphics file and the cutting strategy are not something that Zhao Xingwang can restore. With Zhao Xingwang's own ability, he can design a machine tool with three-dimensional milling capabilities, but it is absolutely impossible to achieve the fine carving effect of Changying Machine Tool.

"Can I buy ready-made CNC modules?" Zhao Xinggen asked.

Zhao Xingwang shook his head and said: "I guess. The only technical secret of Linyi Machine is this control system. A machine tool of Linyi Machine sells for 20,000 yuan, and the cost of the mechanical part is not even 5,000 yuan. Adding a CNC module only costs one to two thousand yuan. Why do they sell it so expensively? Isn’t it because others can’t buy this CNC system?”

"Where did the CNC system come from?" Zhao Xinggen asked.

Zhao Xingwang said: "They used processor chips from the Military Industry 432 Factory, but they inserted the program themselves. Unless someone is found to crack it, no one can copy it."

"Fuck! It's Linyiji's Linyiji again. Linyiji people are too stingy. Last time they built a baling machine, they deliberately led people astray. Now they've built a wood carving machine and locked the program. Damn it, I want to eat alone all day long, and I am not afraid of supporting myself!" Zhao Xinggen cursed bitterly.

Half a year ago, when Linyi Machinery developed a new type of baling machine, Longhu Machinery Factory wanted to imitate it. However, an article published in a newspaper authorized by Tang Zifeng led them astray. When they finally understood the secret of the baler and successfully copied Linyi's baler, the market had already been occupied, and the remaining sales were not enough to offset their previous expenditures.

That incident made the Zhao brothers a little worried about the Linyi machine, so Zhao Xingwang felt helpless when he saw this Changying brand wood carving machine. He had a premonition that this machine tool must be full of pits. If he jumped into it, he might be disgraced again.

"Xingwang, you just said you could find someone to crack it. Are you sure?"

After scolding him, Zhao Xinggen remembered that there was still some room in his brother's words, so he asked.

Zhao Xingwang said: "I'm not sure. It stands to reason that they use computers to design patterns and then input the patterns into the machine tool control system. There should be flaws in this. I think if they can find a computer expert, they may be able to The control program was cracked.”

"Well, let's go directly to the capital and Zhongguancun. I don't believe we can't find anyone who can crack this bird system!"

Zhao Xinggen said murderously.

I won’t set the flag anymore. I’ll code the Buddhist code in the evening and the Buddhist system will be updated. Everyone in the Buddhist community should cast their monthly votes. They’re almost invisible on the monthly vote list...
