Chapter 9, Stunning Design

After graduating from Shuimu University, Wang Xiang worked at a Japanese-funded integrated circuit company in Yangcheng. Later, he returned to Jiangzhou to take care of his parents and became the only university graduate at Delong Company

Are you from the Demag company? Li Delong, with his side-parted hairstyle, dressed in a leather jacket and shiny, eye-blinding shoes, perfectly embodies the image of a nouveau riche from the 1990s

Currently, the pressure on VCD and DVD contract manufacturing is very high, with the main competitors located in coastal areas. The primary costs are equipment and material expenses, while labor costs are relatively secondary

Wang Xiang adjusted his glasses and said, "Is this the mainboard of the machine tool?"

It is said that representatives from a German company have arrived, and Li Delong, the owner and factory director of Delong Company, hurriedly came down from the office along with the head of the technical department to welcome them

Chen Xiao directly unfolded the circuit diagram of the motherboard and said: "I need a batch of motherboards here; see if you can produce them."

Numerical control machine tools produced in Germany and the East are characterized by stable performance and relatively complex designs

"Who designed this?" Wang Xiang asked

Li Delong thought that a business partner had arrived, so he hurried down to greet them, not realizing it was just a little brat

There is no need to mention mechanical equipment and chips; even domestic manufacturers of motherboards find it difficult to replicate those from hetushu.com. This is why even slightly more precise CNC machine tools need to be imported

However, Chen Xiao said nonchalantly: "I have no money"

Wang Xiang is an expert. The circuit diagram that Chen Xiao brought over looks very simple, but the design is extremely complex. Even someone like Wang Xiang, who has formal training, needs to use computers and specialized software for the design, while the drawings provided by Chen Xiao are all hand-drawn

Chen Xiao said: "Can you produce this item here?"

Therefore, he holds great respect for this outstanding student

Influence + 2, cumulative influence 18

The equipment in coastal areas is cheaper than in Jiangzhou, and the material costs are also lower. Some subcontractors that collaborate with large companies have more abundant channel resources compared to inland cities, resulting in lower costs. Therefore, while Li Delong perceives a significant business opportunity, he is actually quite anxious

This circuit diagram is even a treasure

Moreover, Chen Xiao's goal after rebirth is not merely to inherit the electrical circuit or the machine tools

The technical director of the factory, Wang Xiang, who was wearing glasses, approached and immediately realized from the densely packed circuit diagrams that Chen Xiao was not joking.

From the 1990s to around 2020, the phenomenon of worshipping foreign cultures was at its most severe

Wang Xiang examined the blueprint in detail, first frowning, then expressing surprise, and finally feeling a sense of awe

This endeavor can earn a bit of influence with each attempt, and it can help Chen Qiang regain his confidence. However, using it to make money or as a career is not feasible due to the lengthy cycle involved

What amazed Wang Xiang the most was that, upon a cursory glance, this design was exceptionally perfect! It perfectly avoided issues such as electromigration, latch-up effects, and other design flaws that threaten integrated circuits

From design to production, and then to sales, it takes at least four to five years of effort to achieve results

"What! Is this what you designed?" Wang Xiang was astonished, after all, Chen Xiao looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, resembling a student

Chen Xiao has harvested several points of influence

Although in Jiangzhou City, Wang Xiang earns a terrifying salary of several hundred thousand due to his high education and advanced skills, making him one of the few individuals in the late 20th century and early 21st century who truly rely on knowledge for their livelihood

Chen Xiao handed the circuit diagram to the security guard and also spoke a few words in English

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Yes"

Chen Xiao said naturally: "This is my design"

Upon seeing the result, it was clear that it was a novice, leaving everyone in confusion

Indeed, the tactic of using a graphic novel was very effective, leaving the security guard stunned and quickly releasing the person, even providing directions.

Wang Xiang nodded and said, "This is indeed an impressive achievement!"

Wang Xiang applied to Li Delong, saying: "Mr. Li, we can make it, please this person..."

Before joining Delong Company, he was working with CNC machine tools at Rizi Enterprises and is very familiar with CNC machine tools

This technology is beyond Wang Xiang's capabilities; it is likely that his university professors are capable of creating such complex hand-drawn circuit diagrams

My name is Chen Xiao

When encountering an expert, this becomes much easier to handle

The integrated circuit diagram appears quite complex, yet each circuit group is very simple, utilizing the most basic components and the easiest wiring to understand

Wang Xiang proactively inquired: "How many do you need? Our equipment here should be able to produce them, though it will be a bit troublesome. As for the price... it might be over 1,000 for each board."

Labor and capital... Li Delong was speechless and said: "Little brat, go away! Where are the security guards? Take him out, take him out! How can anyone just come in here!"

I am not," Chen Xiao said, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender

Chen Xiao smiled wryly, stating that the issue of chips will still be a bottleneck for people in twenty to thirty years, and there is currently no way to resolve it

The reason why Li Delong's publishing house can operate on such a large scale, generating an annual profit of several hundred to eight hundred thousand, is not only due to his courage and determination but primarily because of Wang Xiang's assistance in overseeing the operations.

In the office, Wang Xiang once again examined the circuit diagram of the machine tool mainboard designed by Chen Xiao, his heart racing.

Li Delong nodded and said, "Alright!"

The factory's security is quite responsible, stopping Chen Xiao and saying after sizing him up: "Children should go play elsewhere; this is a factory."

Wang Xiang's heart had already begun to race, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is this the motherboard you designed? Are you planning to replicate Demag's equipment? What about the chips and mechanical components?"

This is the circuit diagram of the machine tool's mainboard, and it is indeed correct, but the design is so ingenious and perfect

As for the mechanical equipment of the machine tools, there are some very precise components that are not issues that Chen Xiao can resolve at present

However, Chen Xiao does not feel this way, as soon the CNC machine tools will replace dedicated chips with general-purpose chips, significantly increasing the difficulty of machine tool design. Even if Chen Xiao were to be reborn, he would not possess the ability to design circuit diagrams from scratch.

The machine tools of DMG Mori have a wide range of applications in many fields in Xiaguo. The inheritance circuit diagram designed by Chen Xiao on wwwhetushucom.com only requires a minor modification to be applicable to more devices

A board priced at over 1,000 is already a reasonable price compared to boards that easily exceed 10,000

The security hurriedly attempted to drive Chen Xiao away, to which Chen Xiao said: "I am not here to cause trouble; I am here to discuss business with you"

chip

Chen Xiao was well-prepared and took out the complex circuit diagram he had designed, saying: "I am from the German company DMG, and I am here this time to see if we can collaborate with you"

In this era, overseas drifters of foreign waste can easily cross the ocean to reach the Summer Country, and it is even effortless for them to become professors at universities or high-paid foreign teachers at top secondary schools.

The integrated circuit diagram provided by Chen Xiao, after being assembled using a series of the simplest circuit combinations, accomplished relatively complex tasks

Chen Xiao stated: "It is not a counterfeit; the motherboard is damaged, but the chip and mechanical parts are intact. The imported ones are too expensive, and the external ones are unavailable, so I hope to design and produce a replacement myself"

The five-axis machine from DMG? Wang Xiang has already analyzed the corresponding equipment through the integrated circuit diagram; an expert is indeed an expert

This brother Chen went to the office to have a discussion

Such complex design diagrams are the most likely to exhibit these effects
