Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

Zhongguancun originated from Zhongguancun Electronic Street.

There are various electronic shops lined up on this street.

After Zhao Ye received the letter of intent for pre-sale, he took the bus to Zhongguancun without stopping.

……

When he arrived at Zhongguancun, Zhao Ye went straight to the electronics street.

As soon as I reached the intersection, I vaguely heard a song coming.

"Even though I'm wearing the dress,

My heart is still Chinese

My ancestors have given me everything

branded with Chinese seal

Yangtze River Great Wall Huangshan Yellow River

weight in my heart

anytime, anywhere

As dear to my heart”

In 1984, Xiangjiang artists appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time, and their song "My Chinese Heart" moved countless people.

The song subsequently became popular all over the country.

Yao Zhifang is in the electronics business, mainly selling radios. Isn’t “My Chinese Heart” very popular recently? So he plays this song on a loop every day in the store to attract the attention of passers-by.

Some time ago, an old man said something.

"Computer popularization must start from childhood."

Yao Zhifang immediately realized that there would soon be a craze for computer learning in China.

Therefore, he immediately purchased a batch of computers and computer-related electronic components for sale through his connections.

In the 80s, those who dared to start a business abroad were not only extremely courageous, but also very shrewd. Yao Zhifang was such a person.

Zhao Ye was attracted by the singing, and he subconsciously looked at "Yao's Electronics".

There are signs hanging at the door, introducing the main products sold by Yao's Electronics Store: computers, radios, tapes...

When Zhao Ye saw computers being sold in the store, he was slightly startled. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the store.

When Yao Zhifang saw Zhao Ye walking into the store, he immediately stood up to greet him with a smile and asked, "Hello, what do you want to buy?"

Zhao Ye didn't answer immediately and glanced around the store.

Seeing computer memories on the shelves, I nodded inwardly. Hanka is actually an expansion card that solidifies the Chinese character input method and its driver into a memory, so the core component of Hanka is the memory.

The manufacturing technology content of memory is relatively high, most of them are imported from abroad, and the price is relatively expensive.

Of course, there are also chip processors.

Since the owner of this store can sell computers, he naturally has some connections and connections.

Zhao Ye was not sure that this store also sold memories and chip processors. He was just holding on to a bit of luck, but he didn't expect that his luck was so good.

As for other parts of Hanka, such as circuit boards, they can also be produced domestically and are very cheap and not difficult to find.

"Boss, how do you sell this EPROM memory?" Zhao Ye pointed to the memory on the shelf and asked.

EPROM, invented by Israeli engineers, is a computer storage chip that can retain data even after a power outage.

Write the Chinese character library and program into EPROM, and then solder it on the circuit board. It is basically a Chinese card. Of course, debugging is still needed. With luck, you'll get it right the first time.

But the so-called luck is actually a manifestation of strength.

As long as the technical strength is strong, the first debugging will basically be successful.

Zhao Ye is quite confident about this.

After all, Hanka is still a relatively advanced thing now, but after thirty or forty years, it has become an extremely simple thing.

In fact, a few years later, a college student studying computer science will be able to complete the design of Hanka alone, just like Shi Yuzhu of Giant Group.

Only buy EPROM chips?

Yao Zhifang was a little disappointed. Although this method was profitable, it did not directly sell computers to make huge profits.

"35 yuan each!" Although Yao Zhifang's enthusiasm dropped, he still answered seriously.

When Zhao Ye heard the price, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

His monthly salary is exactly 70 yuan, and he can only buy two...

The capacity of EPROM chips in this era was very low. If Zhao Ye wanted to write the Chinese character library and programs into it, he would need to use many EPROM chips.

"Boss, the price is cheaper. I buy more quantity."

"How many? How many are you going to buy?" Yao Zhifang immediately became energetic after hearing this.

At this time, Zhao Ye took out a document from his official bag, which seemed to be four or five pages long. This document was none other than the letter of intent to purchase Hanka signed between him and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China XC Branch.

"This is a contract I signed with the XC branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. It will be extended to major banks across the country! Therefore, I need to use a large number of EPROM chips, at least four to five hundred." Zhao Ye did not directly The answer was to take out the letter of intent to purchase, and then show Yao Zhifang the content about ICBC’s desire to purchase Han Card. As for the other content...well, the details are not important, so I won’t read it.

Just know that you are cooperating with ICBC.

Yao Zhifang's expression was startled, obviously he was shocked when Zhao Ye pulled the tiger skin to pull the flag.

He didn't understand the letter of intent to purchase and thought it was a formal contract signed between Zhao Ye and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. It had the seal of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China on it and couldn't be faked.

Yao Zhifang couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He immediately put on a smiling face and greeted enthusiastically: "What's your surname, boss?"

"My name is Zhao Ye."

"It turns out to be Boss Zhao, hello, I am Yao Zhifang, the owner of this store.

"Boss Zhao, you are able to reach cooperation with ICBC at such a young age. You are indeed a talented person! By the way, Boss Zhao, may I ask what this Hanka is, and ICBC is actually willing to purchase it in large quantities?" Yao Zhifang couldn't help but feel in his heart. Curious, he asked.

Zhao Ye smiled when he heard this, and then introduced Hanka to Yao Zhifang in detail.

Yao Zhifang sells computers, so he will naturally be able to help Zhao Ye sell Hanka in the future, so Zhao Ye is very diligent in introducing him.

"Hanka is an expansion card that solidifies the Chinese character input method and its driver into a memory. To put it simply, insert the Hanka into the computer, and then you can type Chinese characters on the computer!"

After hearing this, Yao Zhifang suddenly looked shocked, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He sells computers, so he naturally knows the significance of Hanka's existence. Many people came to buy computers, but ultimately gave up because they could not input Chinese characters.

“If I could sell Hanka in my store, the business would be booming!!”

Yao Zhifang's eyes were shining and he looked straight at Zhao Ye, as if the man in front of him had turned into a golden money tree.

"Boss Zhao, I can help you sell Hanka on behalf of you. What do you think?" Yao Zhifang said straight to the point. The opportunity was rare, so without further ado, he had to seize the opportunity as soon as possible.

"No problem!" Zhao Ye responded with a smile and a nod.

Someone helps sell Hanka, which is a big help.

Now, he has just started from scratch, and he is not allowed to engage in direct sales in all aspects.

"Haha, thank you Boss Zhao for taking care of us. Let's make a fortune together in the future!" Yao Zhifang was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Ye promised so happily. Thinking of Zhao Ye coming to his store to buy EPROM chips, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss Zhao, this Does Hanka use EPROM chips?"

Zhao Ye nodded: "Yes!"

Yao Zhifang patted his chest and said generously: "Boss Zhao, since the two of us are in a cooperative relationship, then if you buy EPROM chips from me, I will definitely give you the best price!"

Zhao Ye said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Boss Yao!"

"Boss Zhao, you are so polite. You take care of my business. I should be the one thanking you! Oh, by the way, Boss Zhao, are there any other accessories needed to make Hanka? Look at what I have here. There are some. If so, you can purchase them together to save yourself the trouble of having to buy them elsewhere."

Zhao Ye couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Who said people in this era are simple? This guy is such a smart person, he exploits every opportunity and promotes his own products every chance he gets...

But this is just what I want!

Zhao Ye snickered.

Immediately, he said: "Since Boss Yao is such a good friend, then I am also a good friend!

"Look at this list. It contains all the electronic components I need to make Hanka. If you can purchase them all, then I will leave them all to you..."
