Chapter 217 Developing the Pinyin Input Method in Advance

With Xingsheng Computer's OEM Dell computer put into production, all walks of life in Huaguo place high hopes on Xingsheng Computer Company.

People in China realize that their country has been pulled far away by the advanced technology in the world, and they eagerly hope that China can catch up as soon as possible, which is unimaginable to those young people decades later.

The emergence of Xingsheng Computer Company undoubtedly ignited a fire of hope in the hearts of the majority of Chinese people.

People at this time already understood that the contemporary new electronic technology represented by computer technology is already recognized globally after the steam age, another emerging technology that has brought a revolutionary leap to the world.

Therefore, the establishment of Xingsheng Computer Company has also received attention and support from all parties in China.

As the saying goes, hold it in your hand for fear of falling, hold it in your mouth for fear of melting.

Although Xingsheng Computer Company has 30.00% shares of foreign companies, it is still given high hopes by all walks of life in China.

Of course, this situation also caused dissatisfaction in some people's hearts. There were also rumors about foreign companies entering Huaguo to steal money, and the wolf is coming.

Meng Qingshan knew who made up these words, but he didn't pay attention to those people.

Anyway, holding 60.00% of Wu's shares in my hands is much better than those of you guys who work for foreign devils, you are crooked!

With Xingsheng Computer Company producing the first Dell computer.

Meng Qingshan used low-end products to occupy the market as an excuse, and pushed the old model computers produced to the market at a price of 5000 yuan.

Only those new models that represent the mainstream computer configuration in the world today and those with more new technologies can be priced above 1 yuan.

Although the shareholders of Dell felt that in a computer blank market like Huaguo, those old-model computers could still make money, so the price was set a bit low.

However, Meng Qingshan holds as high as 60.00% of the company's shares. On the one hand, the two parties have an agreement that they have no right to interfere with the production and sales of Xingsheng Computer.

On the other hand, the major shareholders who hold the largest shares are not worried about making less money, and their minority shareholders have no right to speak.

What's more, although the sales price of new technology models has been lowered a bit, the price has not been greatly reduced. Coupled with the wages of workers in China and various other expenses, it is much cheaper than producing in the United States.

Even if the sales price is lowered, it still earns a lot more than the Dell computers they produce in the United States.

Meng Qingshan set the price of the old model so low that it directly stunned the newly established small workshops that used to assemble computers in Huaguo.

Everyone yelled at Meng Qingshan for not being a thing. The price you bought is cheaper than our production cost. How can we live?
Meng Qingshan didn't pay any attention to these guys' cursing.

How dare you get a bunch of foreign garbage in, and set such a high price to cheat people from your own country, whoever dies if you don't die!

Just like when the refrigerator and air conditioner factory under Xingsheng Electronics Company first produced products, everyone would rather wait in line than buy other imported brands and domestically assembled computers.

Nowadays, there are very few people in China who can afford private computers, and the main users of computers are enterprises.

After learning that Xingsheng Electronics Company established Xingsheng Computer Factory to produce computers, all the units and enterprises in the country who planned to buy computers stopped buying with the money and waited for their computers to be produced.

Last time, Xingsheng air conditioners made many companies feel ashamed, and those who bought air conditioners a few days early were sprayed from top to bottom by the unit.

This time they learned how to behave, I will wait a few days with the money, even if the computer produced by Xingsheng is as expensive as you, it will not be too late for me to decide to buy that brand.

And even if the leader above asked the unit's logistics: Why haven't you bought the computer that you were asked to purchase for the unit for so long?
Those in charge of the logistics can confidently answer: Xingsheng will produce computers soon, let's wait two more months, anyway, the people selected to operate the computers in the unit are still memorizing the roots.

The big head that asked the question immediately remembered that not long ago, Xingsheng Electronics Company produced air conditioners, the quality of which was the same as that of foreign brands, but the price was half the price.

Immediately, I was not in a hurry to buy a computer, and patted the shoulder of the person in charge of logistics: Well done, I really have to wait for the Xingsheng computer to be produced to see the situation.

After Xingsheng Computer was produced, Meng Qingshan became busy again.

As for the reason, of course, it is to install an easy-to-use Chinese character input system on the computer produced by myself and sold in Huaguo.

The five-stroke Chinese character input method was invented by Mr. Wang Yongmin as early as [-]s, and was put into Huaguo computer application.

Mr. Wang Yongmin pioneered the "periodic table of Chinese character radicals", invented the 25-key 4-code efficient Chinese character input method and word compatibility technology.

It is the first in the world to break the 100 characters per minute mark for computer Chinese character input, and has obtained patents in China, the United States and the United Kingdom.

The leader of the Chinese character input method in Huaguo was the first person Meng Qingshan wanted to visit.

Meng Qingshan knew very well that decades later, Huaguo's computer input methods have been washed away by waves, and in the end there are only two input methods left.

One is the "Wubi font" invented by Mr. Wang Yongmin. Although this input method requires more time in the early stage to memorize the roots and memorize the special input fonts of some rare characters.

But once the application is mature, the typing speed is absolutely as fast as flying.

Another typing input method is the pinyin input method with a very high popularity rate.

This kind of Chinese character input method has a low threshold, as long as you know the Chinese pinyin, you can operate it immediately without learning.

The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, to spell out each word, you have to pick out the word you want to type from those words that have the same pronunciation.

Moreover, this input method is used a lot, and many people will forget the characters when they pick up the pen. Many characters only remember how to spell, but forget how to write.

As for the various voice input methods decades later, Meng Qingshan said that there is no such thing as a smart phone, and thinking about that thing now is tantamount to thinking about jumping to the moon.

Moreover, the current computer hard disk is still struggling with hundreds of megabytes, and the sixteen megabytes of memory belong to the world's top technology, and there is no basis for developing complex software that takes up more memory.

These things can be used as subjects, researched first, and kept as technical reserves for future use.

Finding Mr. Wang Yongmin was very smooth. Mr. Wang was working on promoting Wubi fonts at this time. He learned that Meng Qingshan's Xingsheng Computer wanted his authorization to install Wubi fonts input method.

Meng Qingshan was not short of money, so of course he didn't want to take advantage of this old scholar from Nanyang, Henan.

As much as the patent fee should be paid, I also proposed to Mr. Wang Yongmin to help Mr. Wang Yongmin record the Wubi font teaching video for free, and make it into VCD and DVD discs, as a gift for each Xingsheng computer.

Mr. Wang Yongmin is very happy. He has been running around a lot in these years, teaching Wubi font input method.

After negotiation between the two parties, Xingsheng Computer paid 200 million yuan to buy the patent right to use Wubi fonts, and Shengshang Computer funded to help Mr. Wang Yongmin record Wubi font teaching videos.

Every time Xingsheng Computer sells one of these teaching videos, a teaching disc will be given to the user, and [-] copies will be given to Mr. Wang Yongmin for free every year.

After the matter of the Wubi input method was resolved, Meng Qingshan encountered a problem when he was looking for Wang Xiaolong, a master of the pinyin input method.

Mr. Wang Xiaolong has been working at Harbin Institute of Technology from teaching assistant to doctoral supervisor.

Unfortunately, from September [-] to March [-], I went to an island country as a guest professor.

At this time, although Mr. Wang Xiaolong had finished his life as a guest professor in the island country, Meng Qingshan did not find him at Harbin Institute of Technology.

After failing to find Professor Wang Xiaolong, Meng Qingshan had to go to Mr. Tan Yajun who later invented the Pinyin Star software.

Because Mr. Tan Yajun is a master at realizing the "real-time display" of pinyin typing.

At this time, Tan Yajun hadn't invented software that would display Chinese characters at the same time no matter how much pinyin was inputted.

Meng Qingshan directly stated that he was willing to contribute 100 million RMB to help Mr. Tan Yajun research this topic.

And it is free funding, the only requirement is to get the priority to use this input method.

Mr. Tan Yajun has heard about many things that Meng Qingshan has done in China, especially Meng Qingshan spends billions of money every year for charity in the country.

This reassured him completely that the young rich man would not set any traps for himself. The two happily reached a cooperation agreement and signed a funding agreement.

Meng Qingshan also specifically stated in the agreement that these subsidies are completely gratuitous and do not involve any interests.

This approach also moved Tan Yajun very much, saying that he would come up with his own research results as soon as possible.

After Meng Qingshan and Tan Yajun reached a cooperation, news came from Xinghai Group that Mr. Wang Xiaolong had found him.

Meng Qingshan soon met with Mr. Wang Xiaolong. After some detailed discussions, Xingsheng Electronic Technology Company also bought Mr. Wang Xiaolong's patent for the use of pinyin input method with 200 million yuan.

However, one clause was added to the contract, Xingsheng Company could develop a better input method based on Wang Xiaolong's pinyin input method patent.

After the matter was settled, Wang Xiaolong left behind the patent authorization of his Pinyin input method, and disappeared again, not knowing what he was up to.

Meng Qingshan took the patent authorization of Wang Xiaolong's input method again, and Wang Xiaolong's authorization to allow Xingsheng Computer to research and develop better input methods based on his input method, and found Tan Yajun.

I hope that Mr. Tan Yajun can help Xingsheng develop a real-time pinyin input software based on Wang Xiaolong's input method.

Of course, Meng Qingshan told Tan Yajun that if he can help Xingsheng successfully develop this set of real-time display pinyin input software, Xingsheng Technology will reward him with 100 million yuan.

The 100 million RMB funded before was still given to him as a research fund for other subjects, and this "real-time display" technology patent is entirely owned by Mr. Tan Yajun.

As long as Xingsheng Computer has the right to use this pinyin input method, other computer companies other than Xingsheng Computer that want to use his "real-time display" technology patents still need to purchase patent authorization from him.

The cooperation between the two parties was still very smooth. The two signed a new cooperation agreement again. At the same time, the previous agreement was invalidated. The scientific research funds of 100 million RMB that had been paid were changed to free aid funds, which was actually equivalent to a gift.

With the mature pinyin input method of Mr. Wang Xiaolong, and the patent authorization of Mr. Wang Xiaolong.

Tan Yajun has already had preliminary research results in his research direction.

In just over half a year, Tan Yajun led his scientific research team to develop a new "real-time display" pinyin input method based on this input method.

After obtaining the consent of Wang Xiaolong and Tan Yajun, Meng Qingshan named this new input method "Wang Tan Pinyin Input Method" and implanted it into the Dell computer produced by his Xingsheng Company.

And helped Wang Xiaolong and Tan Yajun to make a connection, so that the two of them reached an agreement to negotiate a proper shareholding ratio in the "Wang Tan Pinyin Input Method" to jointly promote this new pinyin input method.

The two of them knew very well that this pinyin input method brought together by Meng Qingshan is definitely the best pinyin input method at present, not one of them.

Only the cooperation of two people can make this Pinyin input method better and quickly occupy the Huaguo Pinyin input market.
