If it weren't for Han Songlin's accidental knowledge of Youwang Software, this good software company would never have had the opportunity to grow, and would have been swept away by the tide of the times. Perhaps, in the future, when people look back, they will see the bones left behind in the long river of time.
And then they will lament: What a pity!
Lin Wei: 'Boss, you didn't just come here to tell me this, did you?'
Han Songlin: 'Of course not. I'm going to talk to Youwang Software and have Xinghai Group buy them out.'
Knowing something about the future, Han Songlin now has the power to do something about it. If he doesn't, he'll feel bad.
The future of industrial software being strangled by the neck must never happen again.
China and the United States have never been on the same page. There will definitely be competition in the future, and it will last a long time.
We must start preparing now.
'If the acquisition goes smoothly, Xinghai Group will invest capital to strengthen the research and development capabilities of Hopesoft.'
Han Songlin: 'I also have an idea, which is to establish a data center that will unify all of Xinghai Group's design data, process data, and production data under one roof.'
Why is it that foreign industries are strong, and what makes them strong?
The skills of the workers? The level of the designers?
Or is it because they work harder than we do?
None of the above!
In truth, our country is in no way inferior to theirs.
What is most important?
It is accumulation!
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, foreign industries have accumulated all kinds of things.
From all kinds of designs, to processes, to all kinds of material test data, and so on.
Or to put it another way, it is called basic research.
'In the future, when you are designing, you won't have to say that you have to draw all the designs yourself. We can directly retrieve some of the previous design drawings from the system.'
'You only need to make simple modifications to be able to use them. In this way, a lot of time can be saved.'
Lin Wei did understand what Han Songlin was trying to say.
Fuxing Power has set up an internal machine room as a data centre.
In addition to storing data in the machine room, Fuxing Power also has paper storage.
This means that all the designed drawings are printed out and stored in the archive.
Han Songlin attaches great importance to technical data archives. After acquiring the internal combustion engine factory, he first sealed up all the technical data.
As everyone who has studied history knows, the first thing Xiao He did after Liu Bang entered Xianyang was to inspect, collect, and preserve all the books and archives related to the Qin Dynasty's household registration, topography, decrees, etc. for future reference.
The reasoning is the same.
'I'm looking forward to it, boss. Hurry up and buy Hopewill Software! In the future, Hopewill Software will design software exactly according to our needs.'
Han Songlin smiled. He did plan to do just that.
It didn't matter whether Hopewill Software could be sold in the future.
Even if it was used only within the Xinghai Group, that would be fine.
Of course, it would be even better if it could occupy a certain market share in the domestic industrial software sector.
Twenty-five percent of the market, how, we must find a way to protect it, right?
The promotion methods used abroad to promote the use of software in China can also be used by Xiwang Software.
It's just giving it away for free to universities for teaching purposes, who wouldn't do it.
Domestic software manufacturers really don't realise how important the university market is.
They just want to compete in the enterprise market, without realising that the technical talent in enterprises is basically trained by universities.
'Okay, I'll take care of this later. I'm here to see you, so let's not talk about this!' Han Songlin felt that he had strayed a bit from the topic.
He had seen Lin Wei using the software earlier, so he felt moved to say something.
'Tell me about your new research!'
Lin Wei rotated her chair, which was not a cheap swivel chair.
At this time, many office chairs in China were made of wood.
Wood is cheap, and carpenters have never been in short supply in China, and the material is also very easy to obtain.
Han Songlin looked at Lin Wei with a smile, as if he were looking at his little sister.
Lin Wei turned the mouse a couple of times, suddenly looked back at Han Songlin, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: 'Boss, can you understand this?'
Lin Wei's smile was very beautiful and cute; but at this moment, it looked to Han Songlin like it still carried a hint of annoyance.
'Are you being sarcastic with me?'
Lin Wei shook her head seriously: 'No!'
Sarcastic towards the boss, and in front of his face, Lin Wei is no fool, and naturally would not do so.
Head iron, it is not such a method of iron.
'It had better be!'
Lin Wei stuck out her tongue, and without going into the technicalities, told Han Songlin what expectations she was aiming to achieve with this design.
'Wait, you're making a petrol engine?' Han Songlin was shocked. He had always thought that Lin Wei was making a diesel engine!
Well, it seems that there are indeed big differences between diesel engines.
Lin Wei: 'This has always been a petrol engine!'
As she said this, Lin Wei's eyes narrowed slightly. She knew that Han Songlin had not noticed the difference at all.
Han Songlin's mouth twitched a little. Really, he was getting old.
Exhaling gently, he knew that he could not get angry.
'Why do you want to make a petrol engine? Haven't we been making diesel engines before?'
Lin Wei leaned back in her chair and said helplessly, 'I originally wanted to make an eight-cylinder diesel engine, but our processing capabilities are not enough. Moreover, after the eight-cylinder engine was made, Fuxing Industry said there was no place for it.'
When it came to this, Lin Wei felt very depressed.
She wanted to research it, but she couldn't.
Han Songlin couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Wei's depressed little expression.
If Lin Wei insisted on researching the eight-cylinder diesel engine, Han Songlin would not object, and would even fully support her.
There was nothing else, because Lin Wei was qualified to do whatever she wanted.
In the domestic truck sector, engines are generally L6 diesel engines, L8 or V8, or something like that, basically none.
The truth is that the horsepower of an eight-cylinder engine is too high.
A six-cylinder engine is already enough to meet the needs.
'It's fine, just focus on your petrol engine for now, we'll work on the eight-cylinder later! Our manufacturing technology is already pushing it to the limit to be able to make a six-cylinder.' Han Songlin was also very helpless about this.
Fuxing Power was already actively recruiting talent and constantly purchasing production equipment, various types of machine tools, etc.
But that wasn't enough!
In addition to improving the strength of Fuxing Power, Fuxing Precision and Fuxing Forging also needed to improve their strength.
Otherwise, it definitely won't work.
Lin Wei naturally also knew that Han Songlin was telling the truth. Otherwise, would she have given up researching the eight-cylinder engine and switched to researching the L4 gasoline engine?
Han Songlin asked curiously, 'It seems to me that you have almost finished designing this.'
'There is still a long way to go! There are some problems with the fuel injection, which we are working on!'
'Do you use a carburetor for the fuel injection?'
'No, we use an electronic fuel injection!'
Amazing!
