When will I have a long tassel?

Tang Zifeng came prepared. He replied: "Mr. Xu, in fact, so far, we can't boast of victory. The technical advantages of Tuao CAD are still very obvious. Huaxia CAD has won users only because of its low price. Acceptance. If we are complacent and rest on our laurels, when our country's economic development reaches a certain level and most companies' financial conditions improve and they don't care about spending tens of thousands of yuan on software, they will rather spend more to buy better performance. As for foreign software, Huaxia CAD still cannot escape the fate of being eliminated.”

"It's great that you have this awareness!" Xu Zhaojian nodded with satisfaction, "So, you plan to continue to improve this software?"

"New Jingwei Company has recruited 40 new programmers, led by the company's technical director Zhao Yuntao, who are specifically responsible for optimizing the Huaxia CAD4.0 version. Their plan is to launch a new version every year and try to shorten the time with Tuao CAD It will take five to seven years to achieve the goal of completely equalizing the gap," Tang Zifeng said.

"Have ambition!" Xu Zhaojian praised, and then asked: "How sure are you of succeeding in this goal?"

"More than 90%." Tang Zifeng said without hesitation. Seeing that Xu Zhaojian didn't seem to completely believe what he said, he explained: "Mr. Xu, in fact, our country still has great advantages in software. Software development is not For example, product manufacturing requires the consumption of raw materials and advanced machinery and equipment. Software development can work as long as you have a computer, and the main cost comes from the labor input of programmers.

"Our country is a country with abundant labor resources. The labor cost is very low, including well-educated programmers, and the salary level is much lower than in Western countries. This allows us to invest more technical personnel in programming The development and optimization of our products to reach the same level as those abroad is not just a dream.”

"Yeah." Xu Zhaojian responded softly, accepting Tang Zifeng's explanation.

Tang Zifeng continued: "Another initiative of New Jingwei Company is to start the development of CAE software, led by deputy technical director Liu Xiaohan. Among the software used in the machinery industry, CAD is the most commonly used but also has the lowest threshold. CAM, CAE and others are more difficult and have a greater impact on industrial production. Of course, the software price is also the highest.

"In the past, New Jingwei Company was not strong enough to dare to get involved in CAM, CAE and other software. Now with tens of millions in profits, they can make large-scale investments in this area.

"Before coming to you, I talked with Li Kejia, the general manager of New Jingwei Company. She is now very confident and said that she will make New Jingwei Company into one of the top 20 industrial software companies in the world within 10 years."

Xu Zhaojian asked: "In addition to industrial software, can this model you develop also be applied to other types of software? When I went to the Academy of Sciences to talk to computer experts, they mentioned many software categories, especially Operating system. Do you think we can adopt this approach to support the development of domestic operating systems?"

Tang Zifeng said: "Theoretically speaking, of course it is possible. But the reason why Huaxia CAD can be successful is that our marketing techniques are only one aspect, even a less important aspect. The main reason for the success of Huaxia CAD is that it is already a More mature software has the ability to compete with Tuo CAD. The development of Huaxia CAD to this point is inseparable from the high investment in the early stage. In this regard, Linyiji can be regarded as an outlier. Powerful."

When Tang Zifeng said that Linyi Machinery had contributed, he naturally meant that Linyi Machinery had bundled the woodcarving design software developed by New Jingwei Company in the process of selling woodcarving machine tools. It is precisely because of the profits gained from selling wood carving design software that New Jingwei Company can spend a lot of money on Huaxia CAD to help it continuously optimize and upgrade.

The last time he came to see Xu Zhaojian, he had already introduced this situation, so as soon as he mentioned this matter, Xu Zhaojian understood what he was referring to and said, "I understand what you mean. If there is no diamond, we will take it." There is no such thing as porcelain work. If we want to squeeze out foreign software, we must first improve our own software to a certain level. We cannot force companies or individuals to use low-quality and high-priced software."

Tang Zifeng said: "Even if we force them to do this, it will be useless. Blind protection cannot cultivate first-class products. Forging iron requires hard work."

Xu Zhaojian nodded: "You are right. Regarding other software categories, especially the computer operating systems proposed by the Academy of Sciences, the country needs to have a clear attitude. Before they are not strong enough, the country should spend money to support their growth. Just because everyone can still use pirated software, we cannot ignore the development of our own software."

"Another thing is that a competition mechanism must be introduced. The reason why New Jingwei Company was able to produce version 4.0 of Huaxia CAD is because it is only a private company without the support of the state. Every meter and millet must be earned from the market. Although It is said that its first pot of gold was given by Linyiji, but if its products are not good enough, Linyiji will not accept it." Tang Zifeng said.

Zhou Heng quickly helped: "Yes, Mr. Xu, when Xiao Tang recommended New Jingwei Company to me, I made it clear that the products they provide must withstand inspection. If the quality is not good, we will never accept it. , no one can intercede.”

"Ha!" Xu Zhaojian laughed. He pointed at Tang Zifeng and said, "Xiao Tang, do you want to prove that you are not showing favoritism by emphasizing this to me?"

Tang Zifeng was slightly embarrassed, and then defended: "Mr. Xu, I have never sought any personal gain on the issue of New Jingwei Company. Before attacking Tuao Company this time, I put all my information in New Jingwei Company All the equity was transferred to Canglong Research Institute, and nothing was left.”

"You did a good job." Xu Zhaojian praised, "When Xiao Zhou told me about this matter, I said that it was very correct for you to handle it this way. The publishing company you and your classmate opened lasted one year The profit has exceeded 40 million, which is enough money for your family to live comfortably for several lifetimes. It is very rare that you can control your desires and not be greedy or unwilling in the face of such big matters of right and wrong."

"..."

Tang Zifeng only felt that his vest was sweating desperately. He really couldn't play tricks with the country. It was okay for him to hide his affairs from the masses, but at Xu Zhaojian's level, he really wanted to Investigate his background and you will find that he really has nothing to hide.

Of course, no one would know his identity as a time traveler. After all, the country has not yet established a Space-Time Management Bureau...

"Xiao Tang, you are now a super rich man. With your talents, if you concentrate on starting your company, you will probably make 10 times more money than you do now. So, I want to ask, will you stay in Linli? What’s your motivation for becoming the executive deputy director of the factory?” Xu Zhaojian suddenly asked a sensitive question.

Tang Zifeng has thought about this question countless times, and he also expected that leaders such as Xu Zhaojian, Xie Tiancheng, and Zhou Heng would definitely ask him such questions. If he does better in the future and enters the vision of higher-level leaders, it is estimated that higher-level leaders will ask him the same question.

He showed a self-deprecating expression and said: "Mr. Xu, my idea is that in addition to making money, people must do something meaningful. I don't know if this answer will satisfy you."

"Satisfied, of course." Xu Zhaojian said calmly, "Many of our comrades abandoned their wealthy lives at home and devoted themselves to the revolutionary struggle. Their thoughts were just like what you said, they wanted to do something meaningful. Things. Today, there are many comrades in all walks of life who give up the glory and wealth that are easily available and are willing to devote their lives to the cause of the country. I can completely understand your Tang Zifeng’s thoughts. "

Tang Zifeng smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your understanding."

Xu Zhaojian waved his hand: "I haven't finished speaking yet. It's good that you have such an idea now. Many people now say 'everything depends on money', but you can think of doing something meaningful. This is It’s very rare. But, I also want to ask you, how long can you maintain this kind of thinking? "

"How long?" Tang Zifeng was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

In fact, he really hasn't thought about this problem. Before time travel, he struggled on the poverty line all day long and had no lofty ideals at all. After traveling through time, his initial life goal was still to make a lot of money and live like a rich man. At first, I followed Zhou Heng's arrival, but out of helplessness, I didn't dare to give up my public position casually, but I had the idea of ​​​​leaving casually for two years.

Later, he developed feelings for Linyiji and found joy in what he was doing, and then he came up with the idea of ​​​​doing a good career. He was able to transfer 40% of his shares in New Jingwei Company to Canglong Research Institute without blinking an eye precisely because he had fallen in love with this career. Of course, Feihai Company can give him more than 10 million in dividends every year, which is also the reason why he can make this decision, and it can even be said to be a very important reason.

But how long can he maintain this enthusiasm?

Xu Zhaojian smiled slightly, looked into Tang Zifeng's eyes, and said in a calm tone:

"It is not difficult for a person to have ideals and enthusiasm when he is young. It is also not difficult to maintain ideals and enthusiasm when he is in good times. The most difficult thing is to maintain ideals and enthusiasm throughout his life. Even in times of adversity Even in times of adversity, you can still stay true to your original aspiration and never change your original intention. You can’t be lascivious to wealth, and you can’t change poverty. Xiao Tang, can you do it?"

"Me?" Tang Zifeng hesitated, but he immediately saw the white hair on Xu Zhaojian and Zhou Heng's heads, and suddenly remembered their past experiences. An impulse surged into his heart. He nodded vigorously and said:

"Yes! I can do it!"
