"Old Bean, I'm here!" Zheng Chengyi pushed his suitcase out of the airport pick-up port, and recognized his father from the crowd at a glance. He waved his hand, and his words choked up a little. 【For more wonderful novels, please visit】

Zheng Chengyi quickly turned his head quietly, raised his hand and wiped a tear from the corner of his eyes. After graduating from the University of Hong Kong in 1972, he went to the United States to study, and he stayed in the United States for eight years. His parents were traveling a short distance away, but he never followed this old adage. Although he would come back every year to visit his relatives, his chances of being filial when he was separated by thousands of miles were limited.

He once thought about applying for a green card for his parents so that the whole family could be reunited in the United States. But my father went to San Francisco to live for half a month and couldn't stay there. He bluntly said that living in the United States is like going to prison, how can living in Hong Kong be convenient and comfortable.

"grandda!"

Zheng Chengyi's six-year-old daughter broke free from her mother's hand, shouted affectionately, and ran forward to hug her grandfather's arms. Zheng Chengyi glanced at his blond wife beside him, with a happy smile on his face, it was time to start tutoring his daughter and wife in Cantonese.

Zheng Chengyi is a computer engineer who just changed jobs last year and joined a small company called ad computer company. The ad company does not produce personal computers like Apple, which is in the limelight, but puts its research and development direction on industrial control computers. Zheng Chengyi gave up his generous job in the company before and joined the still-unknown ad company that was just established. It is optimistic about the application prospects of computers in the industrial field.

But before ad's first mature product, the -150 industrial computer, was about to be launched on the market, Zheng Chengyi did not stay to enjoy the joy of success that should belong to him. Instead, he resolutely decided to resign again and return to his hometown on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Hongkong.

Zheng Chengyi feels that he has lived in the United States for so many years, but he is still out of tune with American society. When other colleagues in the company talk about football and baseball, he is very unfamiliar with these sports. Compared with the explosive "Star Wars", he prefers to watch Bruce Lee's "Raptor Crossing the River".

Although he had successfully obtained American citizenship a few years ago, and even took a blond white girl as his wife, he still felt that he was just a passer-by here. So when a Hong Kong company called Dongfang Electronics approached him and invited him to return to work in Hong Kong, he considered it again and again and agreed.

Chengyi Cheng will join the Hong Kong Oriental Laboratory after returning to Hong Kong. He is still engaged in the research and development of engineering control computers that he is optimistic about. Unlike him at ad company, he finally had the opportunity to be the real leader of the whole project. Of course, there are also some challenges in front of him. The new industrial computer project must use a new processor-erm.

Li Xuan's expectation for erm is not only as a processor of a personal computer, but also in the field of industrial control, imaging, and future wireless communication and network applications.

The first known (industrial computer) in history was the ibm-7532 computer launched by ibm in 1985. It is an industrial computer specially designed by ibm on the basis of personal computer for the needs of factory operations.

Early industrial computer. The design is basically similar to that of a personal computer, only because the industrial production environment is more severe in terms of temperature, humidity, dust, etc., and must be strengthened in terms of dust protection, casing and hard disk protection. Simply put, the early IPC was a better quality machine. Industrial PCs are an emerging category of computers. Dongfang Electronics naturally does not want to miss the opportunity to establish market advantages in the early stage.

In fact, Zheng Chengyi and IPC are just a microcosm of Dongfang Electronics' huge investment in scientific research. Almost every week, Hong Kong engineers with the same feelings as Zheng Chengyi walk out of Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport with the welcome of their families.

Although Li Xuan is very cautious about building physical factories. But the investment in intelligence is very willing. Dongfang Electronics' R&D centers in Taipei, Cambridge, Silicon Valley and Hong Kong have been expanding rapidly, and the total number of scientific researchers has exceeded 500 in just half a year.

In view of the dilemma of the lack of local scientific research talents in Hong Kong. Dongfang Electronics has never stopped hiring outstanding scientific researchers from overseas to work in Hong Kong. The most persuasive among them is undoubtedly a Hong Kong engineer like Zheng Chengyi. If Dongfang Electronics can provide a research environment similar to or better than overseas, most of them are very willing to return to Hong Kong for development.

After all, they have relatives and friends in Hong Kong. Have a familiar language environment, familiar eating habits. Whether Chinese people are from Taiwan, the mainland, or Hong Kong, they live in overseas countries, and few people are used to hot dog buns.

Thanks to Dongfang Electronics' global recruitment plan, the faculty in electronic engineering at the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Polytechnic has also been greatly strengthened. Dongfang Electronics attaches great importance to the combination of production, education and research. Many outstanding engineers will be employed as visiting professors in several universities while joining Dongfang Electronics. This is also part of the talent training plan between Dongfang Electronics and the three universities.

It is believed that after three or four years, when the current batch of college students who are trained by schools and enterprises graduate, the talent pool of Dongfang Electronics will be more enriched. The entire Hong Kong electronics industry will also benefit from this. After all, it is impossible for all the graduates to be included in Dongfang Electronics alone.

Just when Zheng Chengyi's wandering son returned home and reunited with his family happily, several other young people were very excited to move the table. An Sheng Industrial Building, Tan Huo Industrial Zone, Shatin, the office vacated after the headquarters of Dongfang Electronics Co., Ltd. moved out, has just been remodeled.

Each floor of the industrial building is divided into several office areas with an area of ​​500-1000 feet (1 foot is about 0.1 square meters). These office areas have only completed the first batch of leases in the past few days. Huo Yaoliang and Tan Jiaming were one of the tenants. They were carrying a desk sweating profusely and walked into one of the office suites.

Fok Yaoliang and Tan Jiaming are middle school classmates. After graduating from the preparatory course, Fok Yaoliang was admitted to the University of Hong Kong, while Tan Jiaming's grades were lower. entered the Polytechnic. Not long ago, it was fully sponsored by Dongfang Game Company and held the first college student game creativity competition in Hong Kong.

Huo Yaoliang is a game fan. But he chose to study law at the University of Hong Kong at the request of his parents. After the promotional posters for the game competition were full, Huo Yaoliang's eager heart finally couldn't hold back. He decided to be a planner himself. They went to the Polytechnic Institute and brought in their old classmate Tan Jiaming, who was studying electronics, and the two teamed up to sign up for the first college student game creativity competition.

At that time, game had just been listed, and the two decided to avoid the arcade game with the largest number of registrations, but chose to use game as a platform to develop a new game card. Their game is called "The Hurt Locker", and a terrorist has planted many bombs in the ground around the town, and the bomb disposal hero Jack is to eliminate these dangers.

The player controls the bomb disposal man Jack in the maze, constantly moving the position to remove the bombs that appear at various points. If the player's route is miscalculated, the bomb cannot be safely defused before it explodes. Jack will be blown up and the game will be over.

In the era of printed display screens, designing a sophisticated game is a test of the designer's wisdom and imagination. The game should be designed reasonably so that all the pictures will not be repeated and can be printed on the display screen, but also vivid and interesting, with enough playability to attract players to play again and again.

The handheld game "The Hurt Locker" designed by Tan Jiaming and Fok Yiu-liang won the first prize in the first Hong Kong College Student Game Creativity Competition, which just ended. The two not only won a bonus of 20,000 yuan. It also quickly won the favor of Oriental Game Company. Dongfang Games decided to bid 300,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy out the copyright of the "Bomb Hurt" game.

Two freshmen in their sophomore year received the largest sum of money they had ever seen in their lives. This success made Fok Yaoliang's mind even bigger, and it happened to be a newspaper in Hong Kong at that time. They are all hyping the wealth myth of Li Xuan and Dongfang Electronics.

The princes and generals are so kind! Sometimes the power of role models is endless. After discussing with Tan Jiaming, Huo Yaoliang decided to use the 300,000 funds obtained from the sale of the copyright of "Bomberman" to start his own business. Maybe in two or three years. The two of them are the next "Little Li Sheng"!

There are definitely not a few people in Hong Kong who have the same mind as them, in the first game entrepreneurship competition. There are four or five teams with excellent game works, after being bought out by Dongfang Games. He made the same choice as Huo Yaoliang and Tan Jiaming.

Of course, starting a company from scratch is not so easy. The reason why Li Xuan was able to succeed so quickly at that time was because of the bonus of the rebirth halo. Before developing "Tank Wars" and "Hong Kong Cube", he had a specific plan for what the developed games should look like. The development team only needs to follow the map and realize his ideas step by step.

But for others, it is almost impossible to replicate Li Xuan's miracle. Just to set up a company is enough for these students who have not yet set foot in the society, and they have been busy for a long time. Handling application procedures, looking for office space, purchasing equipment, all kinds of tedious things one after another.

At this time ~www.readwn.com~ a company called Oriental Entrepreneurship Incubation Park suddenly lends a helping hand. You can tell from the name that it is an incubator specially established by Li Xuan to support these projects that Dongfang Electronics Co., Ltd. takes a fancy to and thinks it has a certain potential.

The Incubation Park took over several floors of factories that had been idle after Dongfang Electronics moved out of the AXA Building, converted them into small entrepreneurial parks, and then sub-leased them to these newly established seedling companies at low prices.

In addition to leasing office addresses, the incubator even provides a series of thoughtful services such as logistical services and entrepreneurial guidance. Of course, these services are not free. For example, Mingyao Game Company, which was jointly established by Huo Yaoliang and Tan Jiaming, each holds 40% of the shares, and another 20% of the shares belong to the Industrial Incubation Park.

Dongfang Electronics is expanding its own foundation step by step through these series of actions!
