Chapter 169
Li Daochang smiled and said when he saw Zhou Feng coming over:"I was planning to look for you later, and you came. How is it? Did you make any progress with your family computer?"
Zhou Fang laughed and said:"Brother Li, you are well-informed. I have no secrets from you!"
Li Daochang laughed and scolded:"Bullshit secrets, Wu Yongfei told me your plan a long time ago, and it was my idea to find the People's Daily!"
"How was it? Did your trip to Beijing go smoothly?"
"It went very smoothly, very smoothly, I even lured the editor-in-chief of People's Daily here!"
Li Daochang was shocked when he heard this:"Fuck, is this true?"
"Brother Li, please use polite language. Of course it's true. I came here in my car. I'm resting in the guesthouse now. I'll come tomorrow."
Li Daochang took a sip of water to calm down:"You're really awesome! If this makes the front page headlines, won't you be very popular?"
Zhou Feng could understand why Li Daochang was so excited. The concepts of computers and game consoles have completely different weights in the eyes of Chinese people.
The whole world is vigorously developing the computer industry. The most outstanding one is Apple. Many domestic government agencies use Apple II computers. Once Zhengfeng takes over this market, the potential is unimaginable.
"Brother Li, the problem now is that even if we have a huge number of orders, we don’t have the equipment to supply!"
"I came here this time to learn from you and see which integrated circuit factory in our country can take orders. Please help introduce it to me."
After hearing Zhou Feng's words, Li Daochang wanted to spit in his face. He was so blatant to change his mind every day!
"You are looking for a concubine in front of the principal wife!"
Zhou Feng also said with embarrassment:"I can't help it, it's because you can't satisfy me!"
Seeing that the words were becoming more and more indecent, Li Daochang laughed and scolded:"Don't bullshit me, you still complain that my production is slow, can you supply the spare parts?"
"And I haven't seen you ship anything, so I thought you weren't in a hurry!"
During this period, Qiyi Er was producing a batch of bipolar circuit boards to match their own color TV production line. The reason for this was because Zheng Feng couldn't keep up with the matching.
He made this decision after confirming with Tian Qiushan. He didn't expect Zhou Feng to come to him as soon as he started production.
"The supporting production is indeed a bit slow, so we are going to find a few more factories. I am only producing the Famicom now, and after a while, when the home computer project is launched, the demand will be even greater."
"Brother Li, our personal relationship is personal, but we can't be careless at work. There are so many integrated circuit factories waiting for our help."
Li Daochang was silent after hearing this. Zhou Feng's previous request was to produce one million units within a year, and they were also producing according to the agreement. This was also the reason why he accepted the order for bipolar circuit boards.
Now that Zhou Feng came to ask for an increase in production capacity, it really made him feel embarrassed. He couldn't just throw away the order for color TVs.
"Xiaofeng, the bipolar circuit board can be produced in three months. Are you in such a hurry?"
Zhou Feng also knew that Li Daochang was in a difficult situation. There were not many integrated circuits for color TVs that could be produced in China. It was unreasonable for 712's own production line not to produce circuit boards for itself.
But this might really collide with Zhou Feng's orders in the second half of the year.
If the chips for the red and white machine could not be rushed out overtime, 712 might not be able to handle the subsequent orders. He would not wait for a while because of his relationship with 712. The market would not wait for anyone.
"Do your best, Brother Li. To be honest with you, I don't know how big the orders for home computers will be, but I have to prepare for a rainy day. If we can't increase the production of the Famicom now, I'm afraid you won't be able to take the order."
Li Daochang also understood that Zhou Feng came here to urge production rather than to give a preventive shot.
Zhou Feng's considerations were very simple. In the early stage, the competition was just starting and there was no need for too many suppliers. But as the company developed, if there was only a single supplier, the risk would be too great.
Moreover, 712 was not a one-man show. Sometimes Li Daochang had no say.
To give the simplest example, once the country gave a military order, 712 must be produced first whether it wanted to or not, and the rest of the orders had to be put on hold. The orders for 712 were mixed with a lot of personal relationships, so Zhou Feng had to be reasonable and well-founded in dealing with them, otherwise he would not only fail to cooperate but also become friends.
"Brother Li, just follow the routine production. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Of course, under the same conditions, as long as your 712 can handle it, I will definitely look for you."
After hearing this, Li Daochang breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Feng's steps were bigger than he expected. He was going to make a home computer before the Famicom entered the market. He was really worried that he would make a mess!
However, this has been said before. Zhou Feng did not say the specific arrangements, but said that even if Zhengfeng could not survive, he would not lack the funds for the order of 712.
The atmosphere between the two was a little dull, and there was a knock on the door.
As soon as Wei Hongjun came in, he saw Zhou Feng and said with a smile,"Groom, you are finally back."
As Wei Hongjun said this, he came up and gave Zhou Feng a hug, which made Zhou Feng stunned. It was rare to see such an enthusiastic Professor Wei.
"" Zhou Feng, thank you for Professor Shen's help."
Zhou Feng finally understood the reason and waved his hand and said with a smile,"It's because we have the resources. It's just a piece of cake."
Wei Hongjun said seriously,"It's just a piece of cake for you, but it's a big deal for Old Shen. You don't know that without you, Old Shen's life might be ruined."
Zhou Feng knew something was wrong when he heard this and asked what was going on. After listening to Wei Hongjun's story, Zhou Feng realized that Professor Shen had been annoyed by the pro-American and pro-Japanese elements in China before. It was completely like a scholar meeting a soldier, and he had to do those crooked things with you.
Others don't understand, but Professor Shen and Professor Wei, the top scientific researchers in the country, know very well how important the research results they have worked so hard on are.
Even if they can't reach the world's leading level, they will never fall behind. However, some people don't believe this, and of course they may pretend not to believe it.
The timing calculation data of Shuguang and Great Wall in China have been abroad for a long time. It is no longer a secret, and this is also the main reason for inviting domestic companies to participate in the expo and exchange meeting.
However, Professor Shen, as the main R&D personnel, has not given in, so this matter has not been settled.
Some time ago, after Qin Ping's condition became serious, the island country contacted Professor Shen.
They promised that as long as Professor Shen brought his wife to the United States and the island country, they would bear all the expenses and medical teams. On the one hand, Professor Shen could not stop foreign exhibitions, and on the other hand, he was burdened by his wife's illness, so he was about to agree to Zhou Feng's appearance.
This is also what Professor Shen told Wei Hongjun before leaving for Hong Kong Island.
