Chapter 214 Technology Without Borders
This machine has a compact size that is rare in this era. People who have watched the movie "Alien" will probably have an impression of this machine.
Rudy stepped aside and let Qiu Huoming stand in the center of the machine. The monitor of this computer was 6 inches in size, with orange characters and a very technological feel.
A set of data was running on the screen, and after a while, the cursor stopped.
(GridCompass1101)
Qiu Huoming took a deep breath. This machine must not be damaged. The price of this machine can buy several houses in Yangcheng.
He reached out and returned to the main interface first, then entered a set of commands and used functions to draw graphics. After pressing Enter, a set of concentric circle graphics were displayed on the screen.
It is extremely smooth, and its speed is closer to those of later generations of computers than those huge antiques in school.
This kind of computer can also be programmed with some small games. Qiu Huoming's hands are just itchy and he doesn't want to continue playing. This old thing that he only saw in the literature before is now used to play it, and he feels comfortable all over.
$8000 is a lot of money these days.
In 1982, 1 U.S. dollar was exchanged for 1.9249 yuan. This was the time when the renminbi was the most valuable. As the degree of openness increased, it depreciated more and more. Of course, these depreciations also benefited exports.
"It's really fast. It's really a wonderful experience. Dear Mr. Rudy, now I'll hand this great machine back to you."
Qiu Huoming stepped aside and said politely to Rudy.
Rudy was deeply moved after hearing this, "You're welcome. It's an honor for me that someone appreciates it. Please wait a moment."
Rudy turned around and took out a large backpack from under the display shelf behind him, took out a business card from it, and then handed it to Qiu Huoming, "If you come to our country to study or work in the future, you can come to me and I will do my best. My meager strength..."
At this time, scientific and technological personnel really believed in the concept of 'technology without borders'. When computers were in full swing at that time, some developers even released their permissions, made their patents public, and called on interested colleagues to develop and research together.
"Thank you very much. If I have a chance, I will definitely come to you."
After Qiu Huoming took the business card and put it away carefully, he was about to say something when a staff member on the side came over with a camera and said, "Dear Shen, help me take a photo with these two young people. Right." Rudy said.
The staff member named Shen immediately responded with a smile: "No problem, turn your face this way..." he commanded.
Zhao Jiamin and Qiu Huoming stood together, with Rudy on the right and the computer in the middle.
"Click..." Two pictures were taken in succession.
"I'll send the photo to you later. What's your return address?" Rudy asked.
Qiu Huoming immediately took out the pen from his shirt pocket, took a piece of information that someone else had left behind at the booth, and wrote his mailing address on it in the blank space.
"Thank you, let's go first..."
Qiu Huoming put down the information and said goodbye to Rudy.
As soon as I walked out of the exhibition hall, I heard rapid footsteps behind me, and a man in his thirties ran over.
"You wait."
Qiu Huoming and Zhao Jiamin stood still and paused.
"Sorry, my name is Sun Ziyu. I am a technician from the technology company just now. I would like to ask, are you a student of South China Institute of Technology?"
Qiu Huoming vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar, "Yes, we are both from the School of Engineering..."
"That's good. When you go back in the evening, please bring a letter to Teacher Xu from the Radio Department of your school..."
"Okay, but we may not be able to find him today, Sunday."
"It's okay. You can give it to him tomorrow. Just wait..."
Sun Ziyu quickly took out a rolled envelope from the pocket of his coat. The envelope was not sealed. "Here is the research and development data. Please show it to Teacher Xu..."
Qiu Huoming took the envelope and carefully looked inside. Sure enough, it was all paper filled with data. "Okay, I'll bring it to him."
"Thank you, thank you." Sun Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, waved to them, and then walked back easily.
Since the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the capital advocated self-employment, Zhongguancun has become a hot topic, and this trend has also spread to Yangcheng.
He was still young, so naturally he didn't want to just follow the rules and follow the crowd in the work unit, so as soon as the new technology company was established, he took the initiative to invite Ying to become a technician.
As for Mr. Xu, that's because he is the support mentor of the 'Third Radio Factory', and their technology company happens to sell the products of the radio factory. The three parties have been in contact with each other since the middle of last year.
The technology company had communicated a lot with some foreigners at the exhibition and had some preliminary ideas. The data from the laboratory had just been obtained yesterday. He originally planned to go find Teacher Xu in the next two days. Just now, when Qiu Huoming was operating the computer, He happened to see it too.
He knew that there were a group of students at the Canton Fair, and in universities like Yangcheng, the students with the strongest hands-on skills were the students from the College of Engineering, so he asked casually, and sure enough, they were.
Back at the company's booth, Rudy was still playing with the computer. This computer was originally designed for corporate executives. Who knew that after it was put into the market, it barely made a splash and was instead included in the procurement plan by the officials of the beautiful country? inside.
It can be regarded as an accident. Their company was born out of the 'Xerox' company, and their founder jumped out of this company to start his own business.
Sun Ziyu looked at the handsome Rudy with some envy. He could travel all over the world, but he could only settle down in a corner. He originally thought that with his new position, he could do what he wanted to do.
After all, he was still interested in book business. If nothing else, he couldn't afford the computer in Rudy's hands... Realizing his dream based on salary alone was simply a fantasy. As for scientific research, it requires funding. Originally, the funds in the unit were quite sufficient, but now that we are responsible for our own profits and losses, there are many things to consider in this regard.
Everyone has their own troubles. Here, Qiu Huoming and Zhao Jiamin finally returned to the rest area.
After receiving the meal ticket from the staff, as soon as I walked to the cafeteria, I saw three people queuing up to eat. Luo Jinxiu and Zhang Song were already in the front. They were never easy to deal with, and it was the same now.
The two people lined up at the back of a team, one after another, occasionally bumping into each other, but still ignoring each other.
Probably because they didn't want to meet their eyes, the two of them didn't look around, and they didn't even notice that Qiu Huoming and the others were at the back of the queue.
After Qiu Huoming and Zhao Jiamin had packed their meals and went to look for them, they discovered that the two of them were sitting very far away from each other.
"I'll go find Jinxiu, you go find Zhang Song." Zhao Jiamin suggested.
"Okay, let's meet in the rest area after dinner."
After Qiu Huoming responded, he walked towards Zhang Song with the aluminum lunch box in hand.
He walked up to Zhang Song and pulled out his chair. "Why didn't I see you this morning?" Qiu Huoming asked.
"As soon as I entered, I was asked to help the organizer distribute information." Zhang Song sighed: "Who knew that I met Zhao Jiamin's friend inside, we had a few quarrels, and now I'm still angry..."
"That's not the case. Why are you so serious about comparing yourself to a girl? You old man, you should be more free and easy."
"Anyway, I took revenge on the spot. Hey, she should also feel bad."
Qiu Huoming was speechless. He took a bite of the food. He was hungry and everything tasted delicious.
"Hey, Qiu Huoming, are you busy this morning?"
"It's okay, it's just one customer, but it took a bit long and my mouth was dry..."
"You can still broaden your horizons here. No wonder our teacher persuaded us to sign up in class. I majored in electrical engineering and saw a lot of products. And this time I got to know the leaders of some big factories. I will have many more after I graduate." direction..."
"Do you plan to join a factory in the future?"
"Well, the factory has a lot of money, so I don't want to join a scientific research unit. Those places are Qingshui Yamen, who wants to go there."
Qiu Huoming was silent for a while. It seems that factories are really more popular among young people now. Many factories have good profits and large bonuses, which is really attractive.
"Hey, Qiu Huoming, where do you want to go in the future?"
Qiu Huoming thought for a while, "I'm not sure yet, but..." He was silent for a while, "I probably won't enter the factory."
"So you can stay in school? You have good grades, so you can apply to stay in school, which is good."
Qiu Huoming didn't say anything. It wasn't his wish to stay in school. "Who knows? I'm only a freshman. It's too early."
"Yes, it's too early to say anything now. Well, after dinner, let's sneak out and see Fourth Sister, Shi Jun and the others..."
"Okay, it won't be a problem if I come back in about half an hour."
There was one hour for lunch, and they ate quickly, so there was more than enough time.
The two of them discussed it and soon ate the entire lunch box. Then they took the empty lunch box and went to the water bar. They poured some water and took a few sips before putting the empty lunch box in the recycling area.
The two of them walked excitedly along the back door. It was easy to go out here, and you needed ID to enter.
The unloading area outside the venue was always busy with cars. Qiu Huoming rarely saw so many cars gathering together.
"Damn it, it's such a mess, where can I find it..." Zhang Song stood on tiptoe and looked around the scene.
"Come with me..." Qiu Huoming looked in the right direction and walked forward. He remembered the temporary rental warehouse number of the foreign trade company.
After a while, they saw Chen Xi and three people sitting on the threshold drinking water in front of a door. In addition to them, there were two people standing in front of a car, counting the goods.
"Hey, why are you here..." Yang Shijun stood up.
The middle-aged man who was counting the goods turned to look at them, "Hey, this is a warehouse, and everyone who has nothing to do with it should leave..."
Chen Xi stood up and explained: "Supervisor, they are my classmates."
Another young man who was counting the goods spoke, "My classmates are no good either. Do you know that you have to obey the rules? Go ahead and leave quickly."
This person's attitude is very bad, but maybe that's the rule of the warehouse.
Qiu Huoming grabbed Zhang Song who was about to get angry, but getting angry at this time made it difficult for Yang Shijun and others to behave.
"We don't know the rules. I'm sorry. Let's leave now." Qiu Huoming grabbed Zhang Song and followed him, waving to Chen Xi and the others, "Let's go."
After walking not far, I heard the young man muttering: "Everyone knows how to flatter others and not do their job properly."
The middle-aged man advised, "It's just for today, there's no need to be angry."
Probably after finishing counting the goods, the young man immediately started to give orders, "Just you, come and move the things in..."
He was referring to Chen Xi. Yang Shijun on the side immediately came over and said, "I'll do it."
"You go ahead, he is the only one who has done less today. None of you are allowed to help with this work. He will do it all alone..."
Qiu Huoming's progress paused, and he looked back at the scene.
Chen Xi's body was thin and he couldn't do much heavy work originally. He, Yang Shijun and Chang Simei worked together, and they could still take care of him. This was a matter of mutual consent, so it wasn't a big deal in the first place.
Now that this young man is taking him out alone to talk about it, it's a different matter.
"What are you talking about? As long as the matter is done, you don't care who did it!" Zhang Song couldn't hold himself back and said loudly.
"We give money per person. According to you, we only need to give it to these two people?"
The young man scoffed.
Zhang Song was so angry that he broke away from Qiu Huoming's hand and ran over, "You are obviously bullying me!"
"Yes, I bullied him, what do you say?" the young man said with a frown.
The middle-aged man looked like he was watching the excitement, neither stopping nor fanning the flames.
Qiu Huoming followed quickly. He glanced at the sign on the young man's chest, "Liu Zihao, so you are dissatisfied with Section Chief Chen's arrangements?"
Liu Zihao was stunned, "I didn't say anything."
"They were arranged by Section Chief Chen. They did a good job because she had a vision. If you are so critical, is it because they didn't do a good job, or because Section Chief Chen has no vision..."
Chang Simei walked to Qiu Huoming and said, "We did things quickly and well. This uncle even praised us in the morning."
Qiu Huoming glanced at the middle-aged uncle next to him and said, "Uncle Li, harmony brings wealth. This is the Canton Fair. If there is a big fuss, it will have bad influence."
Uncle Li took a step forward with a smile on his face and acted as a peacemaker, "Xiao Liu, just finish the work. Let's go. This list will be handed over to Section Chief Chen later..."
Liu Zihao glanced at Qiu Huoming and said, "Glib, forget it, I don't care, you guys, please go faster..."
Qiu Huoming turned around and asked Chang Simei, "Have you guys had lunch?"
Chang Simei shook her head. She had originally agreed to include a Chinese meal.
Qiu Huoming heard this and asked Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, have you eaten?"
Uncle Li's expression paused, and he slapped his forehead, "I was busy and forgot just now. You guys have unloaded this batch of goods, so go in and eat."
"Hey, little comrade, what's your relationship with Section Chief Chen?" Uncle Li asked.
"They can be regarded as partners." Qiu Huoming thought for a while, and it seemed that this title was the most reasonable.
He has brought a lot of orders to Section Chief Chen in the past few days. It is not an exaggeration to call him a partner. This is a free partner. After all, the other party is also a public servant, which is equivalent to helping his own people.
"Tch, just a student and a partner?" Liu Zihao sneered.
Uncle Li was somewhat convinced. A person's words and deeds could not deceive others. In addition, his decent clothes were obviously different from those of the classmates around him.
Chen Xi and others had some patches on their clothes, and the styles were very popular.
"Well, you can't say that. There are many young people who are capable..."
Uncle Li tried to smooth things over again.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Qiu Huoming said to the young man.
Then he faced Uncle Li and said, "We're leaving first. I'll ask Uncle Li to take care of some of my classmates..." Qiu Huoming said politely, "I'll go and say thank you to Section Chief Chen later."
Pulling the big flag to make tiger skin, this set of Qiu Huo Ming has been mastered since early this year.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, regardless of what happened to the young man, Uncle Li, an old fox, immediately changed his expression to a kind one, "Don't worry, it's all for work."
Qiu Huoming waved his hand, pulled Zhang Song over and walked back.
Along the way, Zhang Song was still complaining about their attitudes, and Qiu Huoming got a little annoyed. "When you go to work in the future, there will be a lot of this kind of nonsense..."
"Then tell me, why is that Liu targeting Chen Xi?"
"He was targeting the three of them, probably because they were blocking his way. If I guessed correctly, he should have agreed to bring other people here to do odd jobs today..."
Zhang Song paused for a moment, then showed a look of realization, "That's possible. When you meet Section Chief Chen later, report him."
The autumn fire is bright and speechless.
Fortunately, he could make some progress just by turning a corner ahead. He breathed a sigh of relief. People also have to talk about their auras.
Zhang Song is not very popular, but he still has a sense of justice. Even when we get along with him, he often feels tired and panicked. It is enough for him to be a gentleman, but it is absolutely impossible to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him.
