Chapter 562: Business and Charity

Yang Wendong added: "But we can't just rely on foreign-funded factories. We also need to develop ourselves. In addition to various common electrical appliances, electronic watches and calculators that are still under development are our top priorities for future promotion.
We need to cooperate more with Intel and find ways to get them to make the product and then reduce the cost. Hong Kong does not have the strength to do so at the moment and can only rely on them.”

When it comes to the complex chip industry or the iteration of electronic products, Hong Kong absolutely does not have the capabilities. Currently, the only countries in the world that can do this well are probably the United States, Japan and Europe, because this requires a large team of talents, local supply chains, etc.

As a time traveler, he has some cognitive memories of the future, but it is unlikely that he can create the overall industrial strength, even for Hong Kong a dozen years later. No matter how hard he tries, at most he can make Hong Kong a small part of the electronics industry, which is already very good. It is even hard to say whether it can be maintained after the 80s.

However, by then perhaps the mainland will be able to take over part of it, or Taiwan can also take over. In short, it will definitely not be a big problem for me.

"Okay, I have communicated with Intel on the calculator project many times, and they have set up a team to take charge of this matter." Wang Zhiqun replied: "The product model has been made, but there are many bugs inside. We are still testing and fixing them step by step. They can't say when it will be completed."

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "This is within my expectations. We will send some people from Hong Kong over there. Even if they can't learn the technology, they can do testing and assist. We can try to save some time."

Calculators were the simplest and most commonly used electronic office supplies in the past, but that was also a reflection of the maturity of technology. In fact, the first calculator also had many problems in its history.

The most common ones are display problems, incorrect calculation answers, logical bugs, etc. In the era without Internet connection, if the goods are shipped out, there is no way to repair them if they are wrong, so in this regard, you must be very cautious.

"I have already sent more than a dozen people over there. I will contact them later. If they need more, I will send dozens more people over. I will send as many as they need." Wang Zhiqun agreed.

Yang Wendong said, "Okay, then we will continue to cooperate with Intel. After the development of the calculator is completed, we will have other things for them to develop. The technicians here in Hong Kong, not to mention learning R&D capabilities, at least need to have the ability to participate, plus the ability to handle future after-sales problems. In short, they need to learn gradually."

Entering the 70s, with the development of the electronics industry, many new-age products were about to hit the stage, and the most lucrative gaming industry was about to begin to sprout;
Electronic entertainment will be the spiritual food of people in the future. Traditional giants and even countries in this field do not care about it. This is your chance. Even if the Americans become more domineering in the next few decades and cheat Toshiba, Alstom, Centric and other electronic companies, they will not take action against the gaming industry.

In terms of influence on the real economy alone, the gaming industry cannot compare to electronic hardware or some practical software, but the profits are indeed very high. Once these profits are earned by the industry itself, they can be used to support other electronic industries, thus complementing each other.

After returning home from North Point, Yang Wendong saw Su Yiyi walking towards him and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you going out now?"

Su Yiyi said with a serious expression: "Brother Dong, I found that Zhiwen seems to be a little short-sighted."

"Nearsighted? Are you sure?" Yang Wendong was shocked and said, "Children's eyes have reserves for farsightedness, so their performance in seeing far away may not be better than that of adults with better eyesight."

Before humans entered industrialization, myopia was very rare, but after economic development, children studied too much, which easily led to myopia. After a few years, when electronic products appeared, the probability of myopia increased sharply.

Although there are various methods to restore vision, such as wearing glasses, myopia surgery, lens implantation, etc., they cannot change the deformation of the eyeball caused by myopia, especially for high myopia (more than 600 degrees). The probability of fundus problems in old age is very high.

Yang Wendong was nearsighted in his previous life. In the age of mobile phones, it is very difficult to protect eyesight. It is useless to react when he is 30 years old. The essence of myopia is that the eyeball changes from round to oval, and it is impossible to reverse it.

Even if it is feasible, the process of forming myopia is to look at close distance for a long time, play and enjoy, how many years will it take to become myopic, and how many years will it take to look at far distance every day out of boredom? Normal people simply cannot do it.

Su Yiyi said: "I'm not sure either. I just feel a little bit like it has just started. Also, I noticed that some students also wore glasses, so I'm a little worried."

"The eye axis seems to be difficult to measure." Yang Wendong thought in his heart, and then said: "No matter whether it is true or not, children have a reserve of hyperopia. Take the children to play outdoors every day in the future, especially when the sun is strong. In the hot summer, they must stay outside for a few hours.
This is the Yang family's house rule. People in our Yang family must try their best to maintain their eyesight. Even if they are still nearsighted, they cannot become severely nearsighted. In addition, there must be restrictions on doing homework and looking at close objects. You can ask Ah Ying to find an ophthalmologist to work directly in our Yang family. Salary and other things are easy to negotiate."

The naked eye cannot see far away clearly, and severe myopia can't even see 20cm in front of the naked eye. You need glasses for the rest of your life. This kind of pain needs to be prevented as much as possible;
After he traveled through time, he encountered many problems in the first few months. He had problems with his life and even food and clothing, but what made him happy was that his eyesight was restored.

A nearsighted person dreams of experiencing the feeling of being able to see distant places without wearing glasses. This has made him almost forget the feeling of being nearsighted in his previous life after a long time.

But now my children live in an era that requires a lot of learning, unlike my original self, who needed to go out and make a living at the age of seven or eight;

In this case, it is easy to become nearsighted. Looking close is the culprit of myopia. There is essentially no difference whether it is a mobile phone or a book.

Su Yiyi nodded and said, "Okay, other children will also need to pay attention to this aspect in the future."

In the evening, Yang Wendong checked his son's eyes, but his vision seemed okay. However, if it was early-stage myopia, it would be difficult to tell with the naked eye.

The next morning, thanks to the efficient work of Changxing Group, Sun Wangting, an ophthalmologist from Hong Kong, was invited to the Yang family villa and examined several children of the Yang family.

After the examination, Sun Wangting said, "Mr. Yang, Madam Yang, the eldest son's eyes seem to be fine at the moment, but he may be nearsighted.
But this is based on my experience. If you want to know it accurately, you have to measure the length of the eye axis, but this measurement method is a little harmful to the eyes. " "Harm? Forget it." Yang Wendong didn't ask too much, he also knew that laser technology had not yet appeared;

In this era, measuring the eye axis seems to require placing a probe inside the eyeball. It is an invasive examination and is not used to detect myopia.

Su Yiyi asked: "Doctor Sun, how confident are you?"

"About 80% to 90%." Sun Wangting replied, "I have seen thousands of eyes, so I am somewhat confident in this aspect."

"Then what suggestions do you have? How can we prevent children from becoming myopic?" Yang Wendong asked;

There is no accurate means of measurement, but experienced top doctors can generally make correct judgments.

Sun Wangting said: "No one knows the principle of myopia at present, but the cause is that it is caused by looking at something close in a dark place. The shortsightedness of ancient scholars is the same;
Modern students will also face the same problem because they have a lot of homework, stay in the classroom for a long time, and do homework at night."

Su Yiyi asked: "But our room is very bright at night?"

Sun Wangting shook his head and said, "Madam Sun, the human eye can control the light entering the eyeball by controlling the pupil. You feel that the brightness at night is about the same as during the day, but this is actually an illusion of the eye.
The truth is that the brightness in the room at night is only a few tenths, or even one hundredth, of that outdoors during the day. Even on a cloudy day, the brightness outdoors is much brighter than indoors.
Even if the light intensity is the same, human eyes still need sunlight, and even the human body needs sunlight. This can be explained from the perspective of Yang Qi in traditional Chinese medicine and optical synthesis in Western medicine. Simply put, our body's metabolism requires sunlight."

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Sun. If we have any needs in the future, please come and see us more often." Yang Wendong replied politely.

Sun Wangting smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, you are too polite. I am honored to be able to serve you."

Everyone in Hong Kong knows how famous Yang Wendong is. He is not only a self-made man, but also has done a lot of charity after his success to help the Chinese in Hong Kong. It is natural that I am happy to be able to serve such a person.

Moreover, the Yang family is not stingy. It will naturally cost money to invite people over. For him personally, it is also a very cost-effective business.

After Sun Wangting left, Yang Wendong said to Sun, Bai and others: "In the future, take the children to play outdoors more often. As long as it is daytime, if there is nothing to do, stay outdoors. Don't keep them at home every day.
As for homework, you can also do it outside. I will build a special glass house to ensure the temperature inside. If the sun is too strong, the light intensity can be adjusted. "

Myopia has troubled mankind for hundreds of years, but it can only be treated symptomatically. The best way is to control it in childhood.
As a future man, he also knows that the core of myopia is insufficient sunlight exposure and prolonged close-up use of the eyes.

Maybe this is also a genetic problem. If you don't get sun exposure for a long time, your genes will think you are ready to live in a cave, so they adjust your eyes to become myopic, which makes it easier for you to see close up in the cave.
At noon that day, Yang Wendong came to Changxing Group, called Wang Zhiqun, and said, "Please check for me the development data of various lighting technologies in the past ten years, especially those related to fluorescent lamps and LED lamps."

"Light? Okay, I'll arrange someone to investigate it right away." Wang Zhiqun replied immediately.

"As soon as possible." Yang Wendong said again.

The lamps used in Hong Kong today are generally the old-fashioned tungsten filament bulbs, which are the round ball type with glass on the outside.

This type of lamp consumes a lot of power and is not bright enough. Many people buy low-wattage lamps to save money. As a result, the brightness is low, which makes it more likely to cause myopia.

LED lighting technology has not yet appeared in this era, probably because the technology is not yet in place. Although Yang Wendong has noticed this before, he did not pay much attention to it, after all, it is not his area of expertise.

However, now that his child is almost becoming myopic, he has discovered a very big problem: the myopia problem among children caused by industrial development is too serious. Reverse industrialization is naturally impossible, so the only way to alleviate it is through industrialization.

If LED lamps or fluorescent lamps can be popularized earlier, it will not only be a good business in itself, but also can save many children's eyesight, or at least have a certain probability of reducing their myopia.

Being able to make money while helping some children and parents who know nothing would also be a good thing. Even if no one thanks you, it’s enough that you know it’s worth it.

After the mainland's reform and opening up, this business can also enter the mainland, and the number of children that can be helped will be astronomical.

However, the cost of fluorescent lamps will definitely be higher in the initial stage, so we can only see the specific situation at that time. Maybe I can’t help everything, but I can help part of it.
