Chapter 62: Purchase

"Manager, please sit down."

After the meeting, Guan Xueheng followed Liu Meijuan to her office on Linjiang on the second floor, and Liu Meijuan asked to sit down with her hands.

Guan Xueheng sat obediently at her desk, with a straight body, like a student listening carefully, with a very positive attitude.

It seems that Liu Meijuan's passionate speech at the meeting had a great impact on him.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Chen Shufen served them tea. After Guan Xueheng took it, he said thank you.

Liu Meijuan took out a few pages of the documents and handed them to Guan Xueheng: "Manager Guan, this is the procurement list I have drafted, you can take a look first."

Guan Xueheng immediately looked serious, and Liu Meijuan explained: "The equipment required for x keyboard includes injection molding machines, blow molding machines, vacuum coating machines, ultraviolet curing machines, patch machines, ion inkjet printing machines, electronic-grade automatic wave soldering machines, etc.

These are just production equipment. We also need to buy a complete set of circuit board detection equipment, as well as raw materials such as conductive silver paste, resistor capacitors, etc...."

Guan Xueheng didn't understand these things. After reading them for a while, he felt his head getting bigger. He quickly interrupted, "Director Liu, I don't know these equipment and materials, so I don't know where to start?"

Liu Meijuan smiled and said, "Haha! It's normal for you not to understand. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to make an injection molding machine for shells, electronic printing equipment and patch welding equipment for rigid circuit boards, and later circuit detection equipment. These are common equipment needed by many electronic factories, professional suppliers, you will understand it as soon as you say it.

I only have one requirement, we want the best equipment, because our x keyboard is a high-end product, we are not afraid of high costs, we only need to ensure quality."

"Hey! I understand."

When Liu Meijuan said this, Guan Xueheng was confident that these were common equipment in electronics factories. As long as he expressed his requirements, foreign trade companies that specialize in this type of business would help him do everything.

"Okay! It's fine if you understand. Let's talk about computer parts. Our company is a compatible assembly manufacturer like computer manufacturers such as Lenovo and Founder, so we only purchase key computer motherboard chipsets and images, sound coprocessors, we design our own motherboards, and there are also some necessary peripheral devices, such as: Nec's 17-inch CRT color display, mechanical mouse, Riben Sony's optical drive and 3.5-inch floppy drive, Seagate's hard drive, etc.

Note that we make our own keyboards and don’t buy them. There are also some electronic components and external sockets required for motherboards. If the quality of domestic products is not bad, we will give priority to purchasing domestic products.

Our ultimate goal is to make the domestic production rate of our dolphin computers reach more than 90%, so we first purchase domestic products from simple parts and electronic components.

Manager, remember, don’t save money. If we want to buy the best products at present, such as processors, we need to buy Intel’s “Pentium” processors, and other coprocessing chips and memory chips should be bought the best.

Because our computers are money-making tools, not consumer goods, we want to give customers the best user experience.”

Liu Meijuan said something big again, and some professionals said a lot. Guan Xueheng is a computer idiot, and he doesn't even know what Intel is? How could he understand so much? His head is getting bigger again.

However, he learned from the examples and asked this time: "We also look for professional suppliers. If I tell them the company's request, they will know, right?"

"No! We want a lot of money. It's best to buy it with the original manufacturer. You just report that we are computer manufacturers. I think they shouldn't refuse this business."

Liu Meijuan has a very strong aura and like a strong woman, she reached out to stop her thoughts.

Guan Xueheng was embarrassed, and he had to remind him carefully, "Director Liu, we have no foreign exchange and no import and export authority, so we cannot trade directly with the original manufacturer."

"ah!"

Now it was Liu Meijuan's turn to be embarrassed. After all, she only knew some computer technologies and had almost zero social experience. In this case, she knew nothing.

Liu Meijuan said embarrassedly: "If this is the case, then we should also try to find first-level foreign trade merchants and try to save the intermediate links."

"Hey! I understand."

In order not to embarrass Liu Meijuan, Guan Xueheng's attitude was very respectful.

"The company has prepared five million yuan for your purchase, and the legal representative Ms. Mo participated in the contract signing. Hu Guanhai audited the financial expenditure and reported it to the chairman or me, and we paid in cash."

Finally, the conversation ended, Liu Meijuan solemnly explained to Guan Xueheng.

Wang Yong and his wife attached great importance to this procurement. The company is doing its best to do its best and do its best to do it.

It was indeed a matter of rushing to make ends meet. They used almost all their working capital, and the remaining money was to buy a house and open three computers.

The main reason is that the equipment for producing x keyboards is very expensive, and it is basically imported from Riben, such as chip machines, wave soldering machines, reflow soldering machines, vacuum coating machines, etc., including later circuit detection equipment, which requires a total of more than 2 million yuan, accounting for more than half of the entire procurement fund.

In addition, electronic chips during this period were also very expensive, basically starting at a few dozen dollars. For example, Intel's 100mhz Pentium chip is the latest launch and has a low yield rate, so the price is very expensive, and a high price of more than 200 US dollars per piece.

Of course, some money is a one-time investment and long-term benefit. For example, equipment that produces x-architecture keyboard circuit boards can also be modified and debugged to produce computer motherboards. Both are circuit boards, and there is no difference in technical difficulty.

In fact, it is not difficult to purchase. In the 1990s, China and the United States were still in the honeymoon period. These ordinary consumer electronic equipment and products can be purchased with money.

The difficulty is the assembly after purchasing. Like Liu Meijuan just said lightly that the company designed the motherboard itself, and Guan Xueheng, an amateur, didn't know, so she didn't care.

In fact, the technical difficulty here is very high.

Liu Meijuan learns integrated circuit design. If it is a classic motherboard design that has appeared in history, it is indeed not difficult, because these are her must-do subjects and she knows it well.

However, the fifth-generation Pentium multimedia computer launched by Intel, which is called multimedia, has very limited actual performance and will be stuck in a single-player game.

The first generation of Pentium chip launched in 1993 has a clock frequency of only a pitiful 60mhz. The chip process technology has been upgraded in two years. Now the best chip has a clock frequency of 100mhz.

At that time, the performance was very strong, but in the eyes of Liu Meijuan, a science and engineering girl who used iPhoneex, it was just a word "scratch".

With this performance, what can I do if I can overclock?

Although Intel's star chip integrates a digital floating point coprocessor and a 16k level 1 cache, it is far from enough. It must at least add an external level 2 cache so that it will not get stuck when playing high-element stand-alone games.

This must be based on the internal structure of Intel's chip, and can only be built through the flying line and externally based on the familiarity.

Of course, some research institutions and computer enthusiasts in later generations have already studied Intel's secrets clearly by grinding off the shell and other means.

After all, it is just a low-level chip that integrates millions of transistors. In the face of the integration of billions of transistors in later generations, it is as primitive as the Stone Age.

Liu Meijuan also studied it thoroughly, so she knew it well. She had the hard power to support her in building a secondary buffer.

Even the electronic engineers at Intel may not be able to do it, otherwise they would have done it long ago.

At this time, the computer only has 4m to 8m memory, which is so weak that it must be strengthened.

The computer configuration of Internet cafes in later generations was also the highest in the same era, which proved that there was both demand and necessity. Of course, Liu Meijuan also came to the highest level.
