"What keeps me going until today?" Chen Keyan installed the last keycap on the keyboard.
"Dream? Or sentiment?" After packing the keyboard, Chen Keyan sighed deeply, "Tomorrow is the last chance, otherwise we will be desperate!"
Chen Keyan stood in the empty factory. Because they could not pay wages, all the engineers and workers left one by one. He was the only one in the huge factory.
In order to complete the research, development and production of mechanical keyboards, he modified the production line into a fully automatic one...
"Dong dong dong~" Suddenly, there was a sound of the door knocking in the distance.
……….
For a person to realize his dream, the most important thing is to possess the following two conditions: courage and action. - Yu Minhong.
Outside the factory door, Zhao Song banged the iron door hard.
The man inside had the courage to sell all three of his crooked houses; he also had the courage to take action. He bought a large factory area in front of him and the machinery inside it with the money from selling the houses.
He really realized his dream, but what's the use? The dream came true and he was done playing. Except for some preserved mechanical keys, who knows about him?
Therefore, just listen to the poisonous chicken soup of those successful people, and it will be very good.
Wei Fang and Fu Jianxing stood not far from Zhao Song, bored.
"What's going on with the guy inside?" Wei Fang asked curiously, "Zhao Song only said he was a keyboard maker."
Fu Jianxing shook his head, "I'm confused too."
Zhao Song looked at the figure running in the distance and turned around and said: "It's a mechanical keyboard. He invented a key switch that can look like a real Cherry MX switch! That's all I know."
Even HP couldn’t verify whether the keyboard made by DaHu was using Cherry MX switches, so DaHu won the bid because of its low price, and then went bankrupt due to business fraud.
…
Ten minutes later.
"No matter how many keyboard changes, no matter how good the materials are, the feel and durability are what real players care about. Therefore, the hardware core of the keyboard - Switch, has been widely discussed. This single word is translated as "switch" in Chinese, and in the keyboard
In the world, Wanwan and the island country are called "axis"."
Chen Keyan picked up a white key switch and handed it to Zhao Song.
Then he went on to introduce: "But they are too expensive. Only some manufacturers of servo hosts or some designers will consider using mechanical keyboards."
Zhao Song gently pressed the white shaft in his hand, and finally understood why the bearded man came here. This is a switch with a special structure, and Liushi Town is the place where the switch is made.
"So, at first, I had an idea whether I could make a truly high-quality and low-priced shaft, so I devoted myself to studying the characteristics of ALPS and Cherry shafts. After more than a year of research and development, I finally made this kind of shaft."
Zhao Song tried typing on a complete keyboard, "click, click", and the clear sound came, which was a two-stage sound. More than ten years later, it was called pleasant, but now, it is just noise.
"Can it be made silent?"
Chen Keyan nodded: "It can achieve a quiet level, which is not much different from some high-end membrane keyboards. But won't this lose the characteristics of a mechanical keyboard?"
Zhao Song turned his head and looked at him. This man who was just over 30 years old had a big beard on his face and looked decadent. But he was such a man. He spent all his money playing keyboard and became famous. What kind of spirit is this?
?
Zhao Song asked with respect: "Is there a market for mechanical keyboards now?"
"..." Chen Dabeard was speechless, and then said dullly: "Isn't it because the sales haven't been opened yet?"
Zhao Song was amused, pointing to the missing key switches of different colors, and said: "So, what are you going to do?"
Ignoring Chen Keyan's awkward smile, Zhao Song then asked: "Brother Chen, we have stable OEM orders, the condition is that your factory accepts our investment."
…………
Half an hour later, Chen Keyan and Zhao Song looked at the eloquent Wei Fang with blank faces, and then each signed their names on the investment agreement.
6 million, 35% of the shares, plus the key shaft patent naming rights! Relying on orders, Zhao Song took advantage of a bit.
Because not counting the land, the equipment in the factory alone is worth 18 million. Three houses in the provincial capital of Wanwan are not cheap!
"Why do I feel like I suffered a big loss when Wei Fang said it?" Zhao Song looked at Wei Fang. He was very sure that he had never heard of this beautiful woman's name in his previous life.
"This kind of unknown person talks about me like this. If it were Dad Ma, I wouldn't even know if I sold myself to him?" Zhao Song scratched his head, "No, we must hide Grandma Ali when we go back. We can't let her
People know! Don’t even think about adding Grandma Ali’s hyperlink to the Tesla website homepage!”
Zhao Song secretly gave Wei Fang a thumbs up and then took out a black keyboard.
“DELL 8115?”
Zhao Song nodded, "The most classic keyboard, our first product, is to replace it with white keys and add an ultra-narrow light gold frame, but it still has a floating key structure. Then," Zhao
Song made a gesture with his hands, "Bend upwards in an arc. Each keycap needs to have an arc gradient. As for the specific arc, this is a matter for your ergonomics major, Brother Chen."
Chen Keyan simulated a rough idea in his mind and looked at Zhao Song with brighter and brighter eyes.
"Less is more!" Zhao Song became more and more confident as he spoke, "The four major key areas must follow the principle of 'disconnection and separation'. Don't be afraid of them being long. The longer they are, the better they look!
A steel plate must be added to the bottom of each keyboard. Don’t be afraid of its weight. The heavier it is, the better it will sell!”
Wei Fang asked in confusion: "Why is it that the heavier it is, the better it sells?"
Zhao Song joked happily: "Because Chinese people have a habit of buying things. They have to weigh everything they buy in their hands. If the weight exceeds their expectations, they will pretend to be an expert and say: 'Well, the workmanship is good.
!'"
Wei Fang suddenly realized.
"Pfft~" Chen Keyan couldn't help but laugh. Of course, adding steel plates was not just for counterweight, but he was still amused by Zhao Song and Wei Fang.
"Brother Chen, do you have a rough estimate of the cost?"
Chen Keyan calculated in silence for a while and replied: "The mold cost is about 500,000 yuan, and the keyboard costs about 80 yuan."
It’s so damn cheap, Zhao Song sighed, this is the meaning of the curved white shaft, this big beard is really born at the wrong time!
Zhao Song stood up and said, "Brother Chen, hurry up and call your old man back. After the product is designed, Lawyer Fu Jianxing will cooperate with you in the relevant patent application."
Chen Keyan nodded: "You described it very clearly. It will be done in a week!"
"Then I'll wait for the good news from Brother Chen."
Chen Keyan suddenly asked: "Zhao Song, does the keyboard have a name?"
"Tesla G5!" Zhao Song said proudly.
In fact, it is the Apple G5. This keyboard, the pinnacle of industrial aesthetic design, will appear in front of the world five years in advance.
………
11:30, Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.
Accompanied by a young lawyer, Wen Zhenwen got into the Mercedes-Benz.
"Aunt Wen, do you really want to buy that house?" Er Mao asked as he started the car.
Wen Zhenwen nodded, "Buy it, the boss said it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I want to buy it with a loan!"
Ermao suddenly realized, "Let's buy it with a loan~~"
Wen Zhenwen rolled her eyes at him: "The boss is just talking, buy it in full!"
Liu Cong turned his head in surprise, "We have opened three stores in East China, and the company still has so much funds."
"The last two batches of goods from Jiaming and Xingsheng were delivered two months later, plus the rebates from channel dealers in the second quarter, which is just enough." Wen Zhenwen said casually, "So, in the next two months, can the boss sleep well?"
It’s up to you whether you sleep or not.”
Tesla is a one-person company. Only Wen Zhenwen and Zhao Song know how much of Tesla’s wealth. Even Liao Yingzhu can only make a rough guess. Wen Zhenwen treats it as a company secret and no one will tell!
Liu Cong sat upright and said with a serious expression: "Er Mao, drive faster."
"Okay!"
In the back seat, Wen Zhenwen curled up her lips.
……………
13:00, Jiangcheng City. Four routes forward.
This road is also called Jiangcheng City Electronic Street. The reason why this road is introduced so solemnly is because there was a person who hung out here for a long time a few years ago and even had a name. That person
His name is Rebus!
Li Yu, who had just taken time to finish his lunch, walked slowly into the Computer City on Qianjin 4th Road.
Li Yu was an ordinary solicitor, and he was unknown in the entire computer city. After eating a lot, he drank Coke and hummed, and walked to the upper bunk step by step.
Suddenly, an oncoming waiter handed him a flyer and then left quickly.
Li Yu didn't pay attention. There were many such cases in the computer city. He picked it up and looked at it, and Li Yu suddenly stopped.
Not far away, the man who distributed the flyers took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and said softly: "Boss, the flyers have been delivered."
"Come back to solicit customers as soon as you deliver it! Why the hell are you acting in a spy movie!?"
The guy left with a face on his face.
"Tesla Technology Co., Ltd. is currently recruiting a number of sales staff, with a base salary of 800, performance commission, three insurances and one fund, a one-month trial period, and a job will be arranged nearby. If you are interested, please contact 1 Channel 101 Xingsheng Company."
Li Yu looked at the content on the flyer and felt ups and downs in his heart.
There is no Tesla store in Jiangcheng, but Li Yu’s ears are almost rotten from hearing its name these days.
"Three insurances and one fund without even selling brand-name machines?" Li Yu was moved. He looked at the time and saw that there was still a little time before starting work in the afternoon. Li Yu walked towards aisle 1.
The flyer guy gently patted a busy middle-aged man and said, "Boss, here we come."
The middle-aged man looked up and continued to work.
"Boss, why does Tesla want to recruit him?"
"You ask me, who should I ask? I only know that by recruiting him, Xingsheng Company can get the agency rights for core-frozen radiators."
No longer paying attention to the stunned flyer boy, the middle-aged man stood up straight and looked at Li Yu who was saying hello.
"Applying for a job?"
Li Yu nodded: "It's from the ABIT counter in aisle 7."
"Education?"
Li Yu said a little embarrassedly: "Technical school."
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at him for a while. It wasn't until Li Yu felt a little uncomfortable that he asked: "Are you going to Kyoto? A monthly housing subsidy of 150 yuan, a daily meal subsidy of 10 yuan, and other
Conditions are as stated on the flyer!”
Li Yu was stunned, and after a while he nodded wildly, "Go!"
........
In the lobby of a hotel in Wenzhou, Zhao Song hung up the phone and sat back on the sofa, feeling calm in his heart.
15.5 million, Tesla added another fixed asset to its name, and it was also Tesla’s first property store!
School starts in two weeks, and the summer peak season is over. But Tesla's sales boom continues.
At this time, if you still expect the brand machine to turn a blind eye to Tesla like a fool, you would be really a fool.
"Hurry up, you have to go faster!" Zhao Song gently closed his eyes.
Opposite him, Wei Fang looked at him seriously, with an unconscious smile flashing across his lips.
