Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1071 Technology Company

This year is Microsoft's "big year". Microsoft Office 3.0 was just released on August 2.0th, including Word 4.0c, Excel 3.0a, PowerPoint [-] and Mail.

In order to cooperate with the launch of WINNT and Hanwen large fonts, Microsoft Office 4.0 was released in November, including Word 6.0, Excel 4.0, and PowerPoint 3.0.

The latest version is also called Office 92, and according to what Li Laosan collected, a 32-bit version will be launched next year, corresponding to the version for WINNT released by I386, OFFICE4.2.

There is no concept of separating research and application in universities today. It is believed that to learn computers, one must start with computer principles and von Neumann prototypes. After gaining basic knowledge, one can start learning programming. On the contrary, all software application courses are covered. No.

To learn these courses, you have to go to a technical school like "Mayflower Technical Training School" that recruits students from the society.

It seems that offering these courses in an ivory tower lowers the quality of the university.

But in the future when you step out of school and enter society, the key skill at work will not be the theoretical level of computer technology, but mainly the proficiency in application software.

It is true that students who have learned computer principles and programming techniques in school will quickly and easily master these after they go out, and they can quickly get started with more advanced applications such as VB programming in EXCEL, which gives them an advantage over those who have not learned these. .

But wouldn’t the advantage be even greater if these applied skills were mastered in school?

"Skills school? Didn't we learn enough in school?"

"Those are two directions." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "If you are determined to contribute to the motherland's information industry, of course it is necessary to study according to the current school method."

“But if you just want to take advantage of the glory of the motherland’s information industry, and just want to be a trend maker on the sea, rather than a typhoon making waves, then mastering more application software and being able to use them skillfully is the right direction for non-scientific researchers. .”

“As far as OFFICE software is concerned, there is now Word specifically for document processing, Excel for table processing, and PowerPoint for slide presentations.

"If you can use these three software well, you can meet most work scenarios in the workplace. As for studying computer principles, programming software, databases, network setup, etc., that is the matter of the information technology department in the unit, unless You want to work in this department in the future, otherwise there is no need to study so deeply.”

"You two should focus more of your electives on business management and economic research and judgment."

"But don't underestimate the technical school. If the university courses are mainly theoretical, then the technical school studies are purely practical." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "In fact, it is far more interesting and practical than the university courses. You will know after you try it. ”

"It seems that Brother Zhuzi is quite familiar with the technical school?" Du Wenxin asked.

"Hehehehe, Zhang Yuanfu, the academic director of Shudu Cooking College and the master of Sichuan cuisine in Shuzhong, I have been friends for many years." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Do you guys know Fu Xia?"

"I know! She and Chi Xueliang are both the female hosts of "Gourmet Detective", and Chi Xueliang is also the producer!" Du Wenxin's eyes were full of little stars: "It's so amazing!"

"Fu Xia is also a student of the Cooking College." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "I wanted to go to the Cooking College to make Mapo Tofu. In the end, I alerted the Foreign Affairs Office of the Provincial Bureau of Culture and Education, and held several party committee meetings with the school. Gave her the status of an auditor."

"So look, don't underestimate this kind of technical school. Fu Xia is a graduate student at Cambridge University, and she is still crying and wanting to go to it."

"Really? Then let's give it a try." Du Wenxin became more and more excited as she listened. She picked up a bowl of noodle soup that comes with vegetarian pepper noodles and said: "Brother Jiuzi, thank you, here's to you."

"It's outrageous to respect this." Zhou Zhi laughed and said, "Why don't we just choose a day, and Wen Xin go to our dormitory to play first? Let them get to know Wen Xin."

"Then call the brothers up in the evening, and let's go to the proprietress's place in Hongqi Village to have a good time?" "After that, you can watch a movie!" Zhao Xing was a little excited, but also a little uneasy: "Wen Xin, what do you think?"

"Hmm... Okay." Du Wenxin nodded: "There's nothing much to do today."

"Then I'll ride back first." Zhou Zhi arranged: "Take care of the dormitory first, otherwise it will be a bit scary. Just take your time and give us some time!"

Unable to continue being a lightbulb, Du Wenxin agreed to go to dormitory 401 to meet Zhao Xing's roommates. The relationship between the two had almost reached that level. Zhou Zhi had to leave quickly and let the two of them continue to strengthen each other.

……

"Bureau Zhou, our Hanka has arrived!" In the Manzhou City Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Zhou Yuanjiang was processing documents in the office. Xiao Li from the Information Technology Office came in and reported excitedly.

"Really? That's pretty quick." Zhou Yuanjiang put down the document: "Let's go and take a look!"

Due to the small memory and hard disk capacity of current computers, loading Chinese character fonts and input methods will occupy a huge proportion of the storage space and cause the system to freeze.

In order to solve this problem, some information technology companies have come up with a way to solidify the font library and input method on the card board, use the memory slot to load it into the computer, and allow the computer to use the original system storage resources without occupying it. Users can process Chinese characters smoothly.

The conventional name of this card board is "Hanka".

Inspur Information Company is one of the leaders and is also the preferred partner of Hanwen Large Font Library. The first batch of users of Hanwen Large Font Library Hanka are mainly major publishing, printing, telecommunications, cultural and educational, government agencies and other units.

There is also a strange thing here. Because Microsoft is eager to provide various internal multimedia interface protocols to facilitate domestic enterprises to develop on the WINDOWS system and improve their technical status in the UNICODE organization, in exchange, Hanwen Library authorizes Used by Microsoft, Apple, and UNIX, it is free.

However, for domestic Chinese card manufacturers and printer manufacturers, there is a fee for the authorization of Hanwen Library.

Hanka is very expensive. An Inspur Hanwen Hanka costs more than 2000 yuan, of which [-]% is royalty.

There are hundreds of thousands of computer printers in need of Hanka across the country. This is a market of more than 2000 million yuan, and the share of the patent package belonging to Hanwen Library is as high as more than [-] million yuan.

The composition of the Hanwenku patent package is also somewhat complicated, but due to thoughtful persistence, it is also very clear.

The main sub-patents belong to Shudu University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhou Zhi, and then Microsoft and Unicode organizations also have some.

Among them, Zhou Zhi’s contribution is quite large, such as the basic design structure of the large font library, vector conversion module, automatic code matching module, and the basic design structure of the large font library. These are Zhou Zhi’s independent contributions, as well as the graphic recognition technology that is coveted by both the island country and Bangzi. Shu Da and Zhou Zhi share it.

Therefore, the part that belongs to Zhou Zhi is actually very scary.

If Zhou Zhi wants to take this income alone, although it is reasonable and reasonable, it will definitely attract a lot of attention from the team and it will be difficult to lead the team.

So Zhou Zhi invested all these funds in the computing center, rented some software and hardware resources, and also hired many "aspiring young people" from Shudu University of Science and Technology, which was about to be merged into Shu University, to form a technology company.
