Chapter 10, Has Chen Xiao defied the heavens?

The motherboards produced by Wang Xiang have certain defects; after a period of use, the capacitors will fail automatically

Influence + 2, total influence 20

Chen Xiao humbly said, "I am a senior student at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School"

Chen Xiao said with a smile, "Then I will trouble General Manager Li and the Director."

Wang Xiang inquired: "Brother Chen, could you see if there is a way to design the motherboard to be smaller and occupy less space?"

Chen Qiang is clearly wronged in the factory, and Chen Xiao is not foolish enough to help the factory

If the size of the VCD can be reduced, making its appearance lighter and more aesthetically pleasing, it will surely stand out

Wang Xiang took a stack of files from the office's filing cabinet, which contained commonly seen VCD motherboard circuit diagrams.

Wang Xiang quickly adapted to Chen Xiao's identity, for the world is vast and one should not be limited by a narrow perspective.

Before her rebirth, Chen Xiao had fought in the business world for a long time and had already mastered the basic skills of reading people's expressions and understanding their intentions

If Chen Xiao were to design a VCD circuit diagram by hand, he might need to put in some thought and take some time. However, if he were to modify the motherboard circuit diagram, that would be relatively simple.

Chen Xiao let out a long breath. After so many days of rebirth, he finally accumulated 20 points of influence, allowing him to unlock the technology tree

Moreover, the designed circuit diagrams do not require repeated production and modification, essentially being completed in one go, which greatly saves everyone's time and effort.

Chen Xiao asked Wang Xiang for paper and a pen to start redrawing. Two hours later, the VCD multi-level integrated circuit diagram was completed

The design of multi-level integrated circuits is feasible

In order for DeLong Company to survive and gain greater influence, it must transition from OEM production to innovation

A child can draw a house, and an architect can also draw a house, but the value of the two is entirely different

Furthermore, before Chen Xiao arrived in Jiangzhou, he had already made a copy of the machine tool blueprints and sent it to the patent office.

There are two reasons

The wealthy individuals of the 1990s often embodied a certain rugged spirit.

His son is also in the third year of high school, spending every day at home playing PS games, and scored only a few points in the comprehensive humanities exam

Chen Xiao chose to decline, and will discuss it again after finishing the tasks and returning home

Perhaps selling this integrated circuit diagram to Delong Company? Or perhaps other conditions?

Help Chen Qiang clear his name, and by leveraging hetushu.com once again to gain some influence, the task will be considered accomplished

Yet this young man before me is actually able to create impressive integrated circuit diagrams by hand

Chen Xiao was merely offering a kind reminder. What if Delong were to become a leader in integrated circuits like Gigabyte or ASUS in the future? Perhaps many years later, he might still contribute to chip production.

As per usual practice, both parties still signed the contract

Moreover, without computer modeling to run the circuit, many issues cannot be identified at all

Chen Xiao's submission serves as proof that he has an advantage in the timing of the invention. If De Long truly steals his blueprints for profit, Chen Xiao will have a solid case for litigation.

Wang Xiang is currently preoccupied with the urgent production of the ultra-thin VCD, clearly oblivious to the implications of Chen Xiao's words. He said, "Brother Chen, at most in three days, once the motherboard is produced, I will deliver it to you!"

However, Chen Xiao is overly familiar with the issues that commonly arise in multi-level integrated circuits, knowing precisely how to arrange the layout and what problems to avoid

It is easy to say, but in this era where computer design software is scarce and technical resources are limited, it is actually quite difficult

Wang Xiang looked at the design drawing and confirmed that Chen Xiao had a water and book layout. Wang Xiang had also considered this kind of design, but the layout would definitely not be as precise and perfect as Chen Xiao's

Wang Xiang, after consulting with Li Delong, said: "The recently developed multi-level integrated circuit belongs to our company, and we will produce eleven mainboards for you free of charge"

Director Wang intends to have Delong pursue a path of independent innovation, making the VCD thinner and producing its own brand

Wang Xiang said, "Brother Chen, I have a question that I would like to consult you about."

Wang Xiang said somewhat shyly: "There is indeed such a plan. You know that the current market for VCDs is highly competitive, and it is quite difficult to engage in OEM production."

Whether to apply for a patent is not important; according to the national recognition of invention patents, protection is granted to the one who invents first

Is it enabled

From now on, even if the motherboard fails again, it will no longer be Chen Qiang's problem

However, Chen Xiao cannot reveal any spoilers; he merely offers a kind reminder: "In fact, OEM manufacturing is still a viable path. Currently, the PC market remains a blue ocean. If we can introduce motherboard technology from the East or Taiwan for OEM production at this time, it could very well be a promising avenue for the future"

He has essentially analyzed Wang Xiang's character—although he has entered society, he still possesses the scholarly demeanor typical of the older generation of intellectuals

Chen Xiao is neither worried about the mainboard diagram of the machine tool being stolen by Delong Company, nor does he care how much the recently released VCD blueprint can sell for

Is it lit up?

Extremely shocked

University graduates from the late 1980s to the early 1990s were, in fact, the most respectful of knowledge and also the most respectful of talent

Chen Xiao is a person from the future, and of course, he knows that VCDs have actually been out of vogue for two years. Investing a large sum of money to produce new, slim VCDs seems somewhat unwise.

Wang Xiang was very curious about Chen Xiao's background and asked, "Are you from the Academy of Sciences' youth class, Brother Chen?"

Design is design; whether it can be applied to production is not a concern for Chen Xiao.

If someone tries to negotiate business with Li Delong, claiming they have no money and want to take advantage for free, Li Delong would immediately have the security beat that person up and then throw them out

Moreover, the motherboard diagram that Chen Xiao provided to Wang Xiang is one that he modified, which differs from the drawings he submitted to the National Patent Office.

Wang Xiang wanted to keep Chen Xiao's phone number, but Chen Xiao felt quite embarrassed. He did not have a mobile phone and only left his home landline number

Chen Xiao believes that Wang Xiang will likely help him produce for free, but he must certainly pay some price himself

Many VCDs available on the market are quite bulky, with a large volume and significant weight

Congratulations and *illustrated* books, which can illuminate the technology tree

The design proposed by Chen Xiao is immediately implementable

Chen Xiao merely smiled, estimating that the time was still within the limits set by the state-owned machinery factory, thus resolving Chen Qiang's predicament

Wang Xiang and Li Delong often ponder that if Delong were to produce VCDs, it might not necessarily be inferior to brands like Aido and Pioneer

However, this time Li Delong did not do so, because he saw Wang Xiang holding Chen Xiao's circuit diagram, and with that cautious expression, he knew that Chen Xiao's integrated circuit diagram was something valuable

Li Delong looked utterly incredulous

In fact, the term "young university students" refers to the students of the Young Class at Xiaguo University of Science and Technology. The students in this class are quite young but possess exceptionally high intelligence. Although not many of them achieved success later on, they were considered geniuses to those who lived in the 1990s

One is that this VCD and the motherboard diagram of this type of machine tool will lose value in a few years, and Chen Xiao is also too lazy to make money from this

Shock

Wang Xiang looked at the design drawing and couldn't help but give Chen Xiao a thumbs up, saying excitedly: "Brother Chen! You are truly a genius! How did you come up with such an approach!"

Before leaving, Chen Xiao asked:

Influence + 2, cumulative influence 22

In the 1990s, the media frequently promoted child prodigies and young university students
