Chapter 1878 Ownership

Putting these things aside, Yang Xiaotao began to seriously think about the project that Mr. Wang mentioned.

Calculator!

This is something Yang Xiaotao wanted very much when he was in school in his previous life.

Especially during exams, when there are tools that can quickly solve the problem, why do you have to check the calculations over and over again on paper?

Do we have to make students waste paper?

Later, when I started working, how many people used pen and paper to check calculations? Didn’t everyone have a calculator?

Even more advanced calculators can perform square root and power functions.

As for those advanced, academic questions, how many people can use them?

Isn’t it the job of a few “geniuses”?
Most people don't use it in their lives.

All they need is a calculator, that's all.

And in this world, ordinary people make up the majority after all.

"This thing has to be done!"

Yang Xiaotao pondered for a long time and gave the final answer.

If for no other reason than to solve calculation problems and to save time and effort.

But this thing is not easy to make!
Yang Xiaotao only had a general idea of ​​the principles of the calculator, and given the current infrastructure in the country, if he wanted to make one, it would take years rather than days.

Just like the simplest display screen, although the TV display screen has been made, it cannot be used on a calculator at all. If you want to use it, you have to improve it.

As for the LCD screen at the back, it is even more of a test of the technical content.

In addition to this are electronic components and integrated circuits!

Needless to say, this is definitely difficult.

As for the rest, it’s not easy either.

A calculator may take several years to research and produce.

As for the final result, no one knows whether it will succeed.

But the same thing goes, can you get it without research?

Are you waiting to jump out of a stone?
Or, should we adopt a take-it-as-it-is approach and wait for foreign countries to develop something and then use it ourselves?

Then abandon your own path of development and wait for the other party to strangle you?
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, then picked up the phone and prepared to make a call.

No matter what, we have to take this road, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

From now on, start from the most basic, lay a solid foundation, and then catch up step by step.

"Then, let's do it!"

Yang Xiaotao made up his mind, thought about the consequences, and then made a phone call.

Seventh Machinery Department.

Old Wang was still sitting on the chair, but he was the only one in the room at this time. Old Qian had gone out to do something, making it a bit uncomfortable for him to wait alone.

"This bastard, is he so patient? He's been sitting there for over an hour, and he's still sitting there?"

Old Wang was thinking in his heart, even though he spoke to Old Qian with great confidence and looked as if he was sure of winning against Yang Xiaotao, he was not sure at all in his heart.

I had heard about this matter before, and when I found Han Sanfeng, I made the decision after confirmation.

But he also learned about the calculator from Han Sanfeng.

Although I don’t understand a lot of things, one thing is for sure, this thing is not easy to make.

It's even better than any other engine.

He was a little undecided about such a difficult thing.

What if the other party just mentioned it and didn’t take it seriously at all?
Then what did I just say?
A clown?
What if the other party realizes that it is too difficult and gives up?

What should I do?

How to calculate this money?
Mr. Wang suddenly felt that he was being a little wishful!

"How about changing the project?"

Feeling that this calculator was a bit unreliable, Mr. Wang stroked his chin and wondered if there were any other good projects that could attract this little fox.

It would be best if the product could earn foreign exchange.

most…

Ring ring ring

Just when Mr. Wang felt hopeless and was about to try another route, the phone on the table suddenly rang, startling him.

"Hey! Who?"

Mr. Wang spoke with a bit of anger, and his voice involuntarily became a little louder.

But when he heard Yang Xiaotao's voice, although Mr. Wang's voice did not change, a big smile appeared on his face.

This fish is finally hooked!

"You, why are you calling? Didn't you hang up on me? You are so capable!"

As Mr. Wang was scolding him, Yang Xiaotao laughed and defended himself on the phone, "You are being wronged. How dare I hang up on you? It must be a bad line. I will report it later. How can I do this? It will delay my work!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense!"

"You, you have so many tricks up your sleeve, how could I not know you?"

"No way, I'm the most honest person!"

"hehe…"

Mr. Wang thought to himself, if you are an honest person, I would write the word "Wang" upside down.

"Okay, what are you calling about? I'm busy!"

General Wang got the timing just right, and then he heard Yang Xiaotao asking about the calculator project.

Mr. Wang naturally spoke freely and said whatever he wanted.

"I know you want to do this, so I'm telling you so that we can work together!"

"How could you hang up on me..."

"Oh, it's a line problem. It's definitely a line problem."

"Forget it. I am a magnanimous person and I won't argue with you."

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao opposite him immediately rolled his eyes and said, "If you are generous, I will write the word Yang upside down."

"Commander, can you tell me more about this?"

Yang Xiaotao knew that this matter would ultimately fall on the shoulders of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

There is nothing else to say. The Seventh Ministry of Machine Building is responsible for this. Otherwise, how could Han Sanfeng be in the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building?
Moreover, Yang Xiaotao would not take the calculator to a machinery factory to make it, as the atmosphere and technology were not there.

As for why Mr. Wang found him, needless to say, it was definitely for money.

Otherwise, why would they call out 50,000 per person?

This guy is so shameless. "Okay, that's what I think."

Mr. Wang sat down on the chair, took the draft from the side, and said, "I heard that you wanted to make a calculator. Coincidentally, our Director Han also has this idea..."

Yang Xiaotao curled his lips and said, "I don't believe you at all. The last time I mentioned this to Han Sanfeng, she was completely confused."

And what did you say on the phone earlier? Did you forget?

You're just fooling around!
Bah bah
Just fooling people!

"So, this time I thought we could cooperate again, just like we did with the alloy research. I'll provide the people and the space, and you'll provide some money, and we'll make this thing together."

"This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. What do you think? I thought of you first. Isn't that great?"

"Enough, you are such a dog!"

"Why does this sound wrong to me?"

"No, I'm just happy!"

"Haha, be happy, then this matter..."

"and many more!"

Yang Xiaotao spoke quickly. He didn't want to agree just like that. Thinking about doing something is one thing, but how to do it specifically is another.

"Commander, I think we need to talk about this again. This cooperation also needs rules and regulations!"

Mr. Wang put the draft aside, as he would not need it next time, and asked casually, "What kind of rules do you want?"

"Since you provide the people, they are ours. The wages and benefits will naturally be provided by our machinery factory!"

"can!"

"You are responsible for the equipment, instruments, venues and even borrowed personnel used. Is that ok?"

"Sure, let's cooperate. We are a family!"

"The final research results will be jointly owned by both parties, but you only have the right to use them, not the ownership!"

"Huh? No!"

After hearing this, Mr. Wang was about to agree, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

What does this mean? You can only use it but not own it. What’s the point?

Besides, ownership is something that sounds very important.

And if I tell others that I don’t have the ownership of this thing, what will others think?
They must think you are just taking a ride with them.

Even in terms of honor, I am still a step behind. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it.

No, this isn't possible, absolutely not.

Yang Xiaotao had long anticipated that the other party would object, but ownership was no trivial matter.

It may not seem like a big deal now, but it will be a big deal in the future.

Especially the information technology that has been developed on this basis is no small matter.

In Yang Xiaotao's heart, he has always wanted to make a Chinese computer.

Moreover, the electronic computers of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building are developing rapidly. Large computers have been produced and more advanced computers are also under development.

As long as there is sufficient funding, sufficient infrastructure and sufficient talent, he doesn't believe that Westerners can develop computers and write operating systems, but Chinese people cannot.

They all have one head on two shoulders, and in terms of foundation, Chinese civilization is the oldest, and Chinese heritage is the longest, which is much better than those fake stones.

If that doesn't work, he'll do it himself.

At least those who have learned programming in the future have their own learning system.

As long as he has someone who is proficient in computers, he doesn't believe that he can't develop a Chinese operating system for China.

By then, all computers in the world will be programmed in Chinese.

And right now, this calculator is an attempt, it is the foundation.

So in order to avoid disputes in the future, Yang Xiaotao still thinks it is better to be clear.

Besides, if we just let the other party say whatever they want, there will be no need to discuss it later.

If you are not careful, he might ask for too much, and then you will be the one who suffers.

As expected, after Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Mr. Wang was unhappy, "We did this together, so the ownership should belong to us together!"

Yang Xiaotao leaned back in his chair calmly, then said calmly, "Commander, you are being biased."

"As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. The most taboo thing when doing a project is inconsistent government policies. You have one idea, I have another. Who should we listen to?"

"Without a leader, this will be difficult to accomplish."

Elder Wang frowned after hearing this, then snorted coldly, "Why, kid, do you still want to take the lead in the research?"

"Haha, Commander, you don't think we are just talking, do you? Without the right skills, we dare not go to Liangshan."

Yang Xiaotao pretended to be relaxed and said, "To tell you the truth, we have already started preparing. If you don't believe me, you can ask Director Han. I asked about this when I flew to the northwest last time. In addition, I once said that integrated circuits would be used in the research of calculators."

Yang Xiaotao started to brag, but Mr. Wang was stunned.

When I first communicated with Han Sanfeng, I had indeed heard about Yang Xiaotao's development of computers, and Han Sanfeng agreed with the development direction proposed by Yang Xiaotao.

Old Wang thought about how this kid always did things beyond the norm, and he subconsciously felt that this guy was prepared.

Others are prepared, but I am not. If I insist on taking the lead and end up making a fool of myself, that would be embarrassing.

"Okay, since you have the idea, I can give you the leadership."

Old Wang said in a deep voice. Yang Xiaotao was delighted to hear this. He didn't expect it to be so easy.

"Wait a minute, we are talking about ownership, why are you talking about dominance?"

Old Wang came to his senses and brought the topic back to the point. Yang Xiaotao listened and said calmly, "Commander, since we are the leader of this matter and you are assisting, the ownership naturally belongs to us."

"As for you, it's great to have the right to use it."

"Think about it, you are the entire Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, and we are just a small machinery factory. If the ownership is given to you, it will be rampant."

What Yang Xiaotao said was true, and Mr. Wang also realized the imbalance between the two parties. If he wanted to discuss something, he should go to Mr. Chen.

But if Mr. Chen knew about this, it would be difficult to get a penny.

But I really feel unwilling to give up ownership just like that.

It’s okay if I can’t do it, I don’t have so many thoughts about it.

But if you do it, it will be too late to regret.

More importantly, it's embarrassing.

"No, I think we've all contributed, so the ownership must belong to both parties. If you think there are too many people, then I'll let Lao Han come, and you two can share it together."

"That way, there's no need to worry about any unexpected problems."

Yang Xiaotao didn't expect Mr. Wang to say this, but it was very different from what he had expected.

Ownership must belong to the machinery factory.

Moreover, since he is the signatory, he will face fewer constraints in the future.
