The Pentium Era - South to North

Zheng Huihong helped Zhang Chen install Illustrator and Photoshop. She took another CD and said to Zhang Chen, this is CorelDRAW from Corel. It is also used for making vector graphics. Its functions are similar to Illustrator. Forget it, you can It's good to learn to use those two softwares, but it will be troublesome if you use more.

Zhang Chen said okay.

Both softwares are in English. Zhang Chen was confused when he opened them and couldn't understand a word. He said, how can this be used?

Zheng Huihong smiled and said: "It's not that complicated. Each of these buttons is a symbol. OFF and ON are also in English. You can't get them wrong. Buy an English-Chinese dictionary and look it up. You can probably understand the meaning. If you don't look it up, you can't If you try the buttons one by one, you will become familiar with them.”

Zheng Huihong took a pen and paper, translated each button of the two softwares, wrote them on the paper, then opened Photoshop, and told Zhang Chen that she might use this more often, because the pictures scanned in by the scanner, They are all pixel images. Once you learn this, it will be easier to operate Illustrator. Many of their buttons have the same function.

Zheng Huihong said, looked around and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you have nothing here except computers and this black and white printer?"

"What else do you need?" Zhang Chen asked, "Didn't you prepare this for me?"

"That's right, but I didn't understand it at that time. Things related to computers are changing every year, so fast." Zheng Huihong said.

"Then show me what I'm missing here."

Zheng Huihong said: "If you use computers to design things in the future, you will need a scanner here. In this way, whether it is a photo or a picture in a magazine, you can scan it into the computer through the scanner. "

Zhang Chen said okay, help me buy it.

"You also need a color printer, so that you can print out the things you designed on your computer. If you need small quantities of things in the store in the future, you don't need to draw them by hand, let alone print them. You can print them yourself. A color printer is definitely the best choice. Indispensable."

Zhang Chen said okay, you'd better buy it for me. Zheng Huihong, take a look and see if there's anything else missing.

Zheng Huihong thought for a moment and said: "You still lack one thing, but it's a bit expensive. The things you design in the future cannot be saved in the computer. The files of your things are relatively large. You don't have a few pictures saved in your computer. The computer won’t be able to handle it, the speed will be very slow, and it will have to be stored in another place. You need an MO.”

"What is this?" Zhang Chen asked.

"MO is also called a magneto-optical disk. It is very similar to a floppy disk, and it is also very large. But the capacity of a floppy disk is small. It cannot save even a picture. MO can. Its disk capacity ranges from 128M to 640M, which is enough. .

"And it's the same as a floppy disk. You can save it and take it with you. For example, if you need to print, just give the MO disk to the printing factory. If you want to print large posters, give it to a larger print shop. They all have it. The MO machine can read it."

"Really, isn't that very convenient? Does it mean we just need to put stacks of MO disks here?" Zhang Chen said, "This is great, you can buy it for me."

"It's very expensive, costing more than 10,000 yuan."

"More than ten thousand is nothing, buy it." Zhang Chen shouted.

Zheng Huihong sighed: "It's great to have money."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Why, can't you afford it?"

Zheng Huihong shook her head: "We can't use it, and we can't bear to buy it. We are very poor."

"Then you come back to the company." Zhang Chen said.

Zheng Huihong still shook her head: "No, that is really what I like to do. Although I am poor, I feel that every day is a challenge. Besides, Lao Wan's salary is high, and he sends me money every month, so I I’m not that poor, I saved all my money, and when I came back, Lao Wan told me that it’s okay not to work.”

Zhang Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Lao Wan can afford to support you."

"Go, I don't want him to support you, I want to do something."

Zheng Huihong opened a picture in Photoshop and simply demonstrated the brushes and filters to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen's eyes widened and he thought it was all amazing.

"By the way, there's still something missing." Zheng Huihong shouted.

She found a CD and said to Zhang Chen, this is the most important, the font library, which you must be indispensable in designing.

She installed the font library, then opened a new canvas in Photoshop, typed the words "Half an Acre of Field" and "ABC" on it, enlarged it, used the mouse to return it to black, and then kept clicking in the small box above. , the three characters "Half an Acre of Field" change into different fonts, and by operating "ABC" similarly, different English fonts will appear.

Zhang Chen shouted: "This is too convenient."

Zheng Huihong said while clicking the mouse, let me show you the filter again, first pixelate, okay, look, this is the effect of woodcut, this is the effect of clouds... You can also choose motion blur, you can distort it like this... OK I regretted making the lighting effect. You can return here...

"No, no, no, Zheng Huihong, stop." Zhang Chen shouted.

Zheng Huihong stopped, looked at Zhang Chen and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Zhang?"

"Are you saying that you have nothing to do during this period?" Zhang Chen asked.

Zheng Huihong nodded: "Yes."

"In this way, Zheng Huihong, Teacher Zheng, starting from tomorrow, you will come here every day and help Ge Ling and others install the software. Then, you will give us training and teach us how to use these software, and teach us how to use scanners and MO , you also know that those of us who draw will be confused if we read the instructions and so on.

"But it depends on the person's operation. Let's follow and learn quickly. Zheng Huihong, okay, you come for training, and I will pay you the training fee."

Zheng Huihong shook her head: "I won't come."

"Why?"

"Because there is a training fee. If you don't pay the training fee, I will come."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll treat you to delicious food every day. Is this okay?"

Zheng Huihong smiled and said: "This is okay, I agree."

…

Next, Zheng Huihong trained Zhang Chen and Ge Ling. After four days of training, Zhang Chen and the others were basically able to operate. Xiao Zhao and Zheng Huihong complained that it was over. He was completely fascinated. Now every day, I didn't go home until four or five o'clock, and my wife didn't want to go home, so I just stared at the computer in the office.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "The picture on my computer is you. I stare at you every day."

Xiao Zhao opened his eyes wide: "Tell me, did you make me look ugly?"

Zhang Chen chuckled and did not deny it: "That's not just for effect."

Xiao Zhao jumped up: "Okay, there really is one! Show me quickly!"

She and Zheng Huihong walked behind Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen said, how could I save those ugly ones? They were all used to test the effect and were deleted.

"What about the beautiful ones? Mr. Zhang, please show us the beautiful pictures of Sister Xiaozhao."

Zhang Chen chuckled, embarrassed.

"Hurry up, take it out quickly." Xiao Zhao shouted.

Zhang Chen pointed to a new folder on the desktop and said, "See for yourselves." He stood up and walked away.

Zheng Huihong clicked on the folder, then clicked on the pictures inside, and exclaimed, "This is so beautiful. Sister Xiao Zhao, does every typed picture look prettier than those celebrity calendars?"

Xiao Zhao looked at himself on the screen and smiled.

Zheng Huihong and Zhang Chen said: "Mr. Zhang, you are now a master. I can't even make these images of yours. You are more skilled than me."

Zhang Chen and Zheng Huihong said, I really did what you said. I clicked every button and tried every button again and again, and none of them was useless.

"Nonsense, there is no button if it is useless." Zheng Huihong said, Zhang Chen thought about it, and it was the same.

"By the way, how are Ge Ling and the others doing with their studies?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It's not bad." Zheng Huihong said, "Mr. Zhang, I have a good way to test the results of learning."

"What's a good idea?"

"We are going to make a website, just a half-acre clothing website. When making website materials, all these skills will be used."

"What, you said our company will build a website by itself?" Zhang Chen asked, "Is it that easy to build a website?"

"How complicated do you think it is? Yifei Company can have a website, why can't our half-acre farm have one?" Zheng Huihong said.

"Of course it would be great to have my own website!" Zhang Chen shouted, "Quickly, Zheng Huihong, tell me how to do it."

Zhang Chen had already walked to the sofa and sat down. Hearing Zheng Huihong talk about making a website, he stood up and walked back.

Zheng Huihong opened the browser, entered a URL, and the homepage of "China Ten Thousand Networks" came out. Zheng Huihong, Zhang Chen, and Xiao Zhao said that the first step in building a website is to register a domain name, which means that people enter it in the browser. You can be found, like your address, or your name, but this name is unique in the world.

She clicked "Domain Name Registration" and opened it, which was a domain name query. She said, if someone has already registered it, you can't register it. You can only register it if no one has registered it.

"All the previous domain names are the same, three W's." Zheng Huihong then entered WWW., "In the middle, is the name of the company, A half acre of land? There are too many words, people can't remember this domain name registration , the simpler the name, the better. If you have three W points and A point COM, then you are awesome and you will definitely not be able to register."

Zheng Huihong looked at Zhang Chen and asked: "How about we use the first three characters of Ban Mu Tian's pinyin? BMT? I don't know if I can register it."

Zhang Chen agreed, and Zheng Huihong entered www.bmt and said: "In the future, either click COM or click NET. Clicking COM is more useful, so we use COM."

She entered "" and clicked to query immediately. The result showed that it had been registered. Then she changed the COM button to NET, and it still showed that it had been registered. Zheng Huihong shook her head and shouted "Uh uh uh". Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao They all laughed.

Zheng Huihong said: "By the way, add CN. China is half an acre of land, half soil and half ocean. It combines English and Pinyin and only has five letters. It's easy to remember."

She entered "" and the result showed that she could register. "Bingo!" Zheng Huihong shouted.

She filled in all the information, and the bottom showed the service years, from one to five years. She chose five years, one hundred and twenty yuan a year, with a 10% discount for five years, a total of five hundred and fifty yuan, and clicked submit. Finally, Zheng Huihong wrote down the remittance account and said to Xiao Zhao:

"Sister Xiao Zhao, remit the money to them as quickly as possible, with the domain name registration fee written as "" in the purpose. After they receive the money, they will send a notification to us."

Xiao Zhao said yes, took the note and walked out.
