Schweic arrived at the company early and sat down in the office at 7:30. Taking advantage of some time before going to work, he polished a small manuscript on the computer and was thinking about sending it to the magazine.
The article was very short, less than 500 words, but Schweic was very proud because his article revealed a little secret and could save domestic engineering units a lot of foreign exchange.
Secret exploration is often not worth mentioning.
Those who engage in engineering, whether it is civil engineering or mechanical engineering, inevitably use large-scale plotters.
Drawing is quite hard work. In the past, it was done by hand, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and error-prone. Excellent draftsmen are often the same as the eighth-level workers in the factory, and are the precious technicians of the company.
But after the advent of computers, CAD technology has greatly reduced the workload of drawing. Just like CNC machine tools, technical secondary school students who have been trained for several months are comparable to masters who have been trained for decades.
But the drawings on the computer will eventually become real objects, which requires a digital plotter. This thing is like an oversized printer, and the paper used for drawings is A1 or even A0 size.
The latter is equivalent to one square meter in size.
In the early days, electronic plotters were all foreign products and were very expensive. But with plotters, pictures that took several weeks to draw could be printed out in a few minutes.
The development of computer technology has greatly saved time costs, and many equipments have to be purchased no matter how expensive they are.
Schweic's past employer bought a plotter, which cost twenty to thirty thousand dollars, which was very expensive.
When we arrived in Tianyang, "Shengguang Machinery" had more than a dozen large plotters, American Xerox's, and the equipment was newer and better.
However, the printing speed of the plotter is related to the memory capacity it uses. The standard EDO memory is 512KB. But as long as it is increased to 1MB or 2MB, the printing speed can be doubled.
Schweic accidentally dismantled the machine and discovered this little secret. He immediately installed several EDO memory sticks for 486 computers into the plotter. The running speed of the equipment was greatly increased.
A 2MB EDO memory costs five to six hundred US dollars to import. But there are a lot of idle ones in the Holy Light, which can be used as you like.
Schweich planned to publish his findings so that other domestic units would not have to spend a lot of money to buy imported memory. He could save a lot of money by mailing it from Holy Light.
After writing this article, Schweic was overjoyed and felt that he had greatly benefited from capitalism. This had nothing to do with Zhou Qingfeng, it was entirely discovered by him.
A small contribution, a full sense of accomplishment.
A person came in from outside the office and shouted: "Old Shi, why are you laughing? You have been so happy all day."
Hahaha..., Schweic is really happy during this period, and he is full of energy every day when he opens his eyes.
Working at "Holy Light" is not only a great job with the money provided by the boss, but also good care of all aspects of work and life.
After controlling the bankrupt state-owned enterprise Tianyang for HK$300 million, Zhou Qingfeng not only ruthlessly laid off employees, but also took over dozens of large and small office buildings and factories owned by the former state-owned enterprise.
The office conditions of "Shengguang Machinery" have been improved rapidly, and they no longer have to work in the warehouse of Tianyang Yeyuan. In addition, the original schools run by various factories have not been wasted, but have been strengthened.
The staff of the ‘Holy Light’ department were able to solve the problem of children’s enrollment in school.
Coming from the mountains of Guizhou, Shiwei was most worried about his children going to school.
Now the child can not only go to school safely, but the school's software and hardware environment is also very good. He can feel relieved. After all, no matter how hard he works, he can't make his child suffer.
In addition to life, Schweic currently leads an information technology team of more than 30 people, specifically thinking about how to bring the entire company into the information age.
Zhou Qingfeng knew that his mission was to build an intranet, but he didn't know that the current "net" was different from the "net" of later generations.
This matter has caused a lot of trouble for Schweic. The information technology team he led worked hard to promote "paperless" office documents throughout the company and train employees to learn to use computers.
Files are stored in computers, making it much easier to compile, modify, and search than in the past. The use of office and engineering software has greatly improved work efficiency, but not many people know how to use computers.
The biggest job of Schweic's team is to train company employees and repeatedly deal with low-level mistakes. As for the intranet that President Zhou requested before, this... is still very difficult at the moment.
Taking advantage of his spare time from work, Schweic was writing a small manuscript and was in a good mood. His colleagues teased him a few times, and he laughed along with him.
After laughing, the colleague whispered: "Old Shi, there is a problem today."
"Is someone making trouble in front of our company again?"
Schweich thought the trouble was caused by his own CEO's cleanup of layoffs. Based on his own personal experience, he fully supported layoffs.
"Those guys who occupy the toilet and do nothing will be fired as a matter of course. I know the ways inside very well. Keeping them will definitely be a disaster."
Everyone who escapes from the system is full of bitterness and resentment, and Schweic is no exception. But his colleagues shook their heads, "That's not the case."
"What else can happen?"
"Didn't Mr. Zhou hold a tender for machine tool assembly? Several domestic machine tool factories said they were interested, but they were dragging their feet and wouldn't send anyone to contact us.
Until a few days ago, the battery factory came up with some new technologies and sent them to the imperial capital for review and appraisal. I guess the technology was so amazing that the army sent people here yesterday.
I heard from the people at the battery factory that they have come up with some kind of "valve control technology", which is simple and practical and will be of great help in improving the combat performance of submarines.
The soldiers sealed off their factory's office building early yesterday morning, took away a lot of information and samples, and didn't leave until noon.
In addition, several domestic units were probably alarmed by this incident and sent people to our company one after another, saying they wanted to visit and investigate. Not only people from the battery industry came, but also people from the previous machine tool factory."
Hearing the urgency from his colleague, Schweic was very happy, "This is a good thing, why is it so troublesome?"
The colleague continued: "Mr. Zhou allowed them to visit our company, but they entered the data processing center and did not come out."
When Schweic heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "Oops, are those guys targeting my server matrix?"
After saying that, he rushed out of the office, climbed two floors and entered another large room.
Before entering the house, you could hear someone shouting: "Where did you get such good equipment? Imported? How much does it cost?"
In the big room, more than 20 servers that Zhou Qingfeng had acquired before were built into a service matrix, including storage and computing, just like a small data center.
In order to serve this data center, two vertical air conditioners are turned on 24 hours a day to continuously cool down the servers.
Switch stood at the door of the house changing his shoes and coat when he heard a voice shouting from inside the house: "With such a good equipment, what subject are you working on?"
Optimizing the engine cylinder and crankshaft of a tricycle? Are you kidding me? Who did this? Prodigal son, you are such a prodigal son."
Schweic was about to enter the house in a hurry, but when he heard these scoldings, he quickly shrunk his neck and did not dare to go in.
Being sensitive to computing technology, he built the server matrix in the house. However, a batch of expensive high-end servers were not put to use.
Calculating and optimizing the cylinder design of two-stroke engines with a displacement of 50 to 250CC is the only work currently being done by more than 20 servers. There is nothing else.
