The first vocational high school after the acquisition is no different from before the acquisition. However, the faculty and staff walked much faster, but the teacher’s speech was much louder, but the students’ learning atmosphere became much stronger...

Zhou Shuo just returned to school and immediately plunged into the software engineering of the computer interest group of the second high school. Not many days after the start of school, he still handed over the task of substitute class to He Youyou. He seized the time to browse and modify the software code written by the students of the interest group.

"President Zhou Da, someone is looking for you!"

Zhou Shuo suddenly felt someone patting him on his shoulder. When he turned around, he shouted in surprise: "Old Liu, you are back!"

Behind Zhou Shuo was a man with dusty sunglasses, holding a wide travel bag in his hand. He laughed and took off his sunglasses. It turned out that he was Liu Gang, a classmate who had been away for more than a month.

Liu Gang smiled and hugged him, looked around and said, "Zhou'er, I've even started the computer room, it's great!"

"Haha, everything is ready here, I just need the east wind!" The two of them picked up a place and sat opposite him. Zhou Shuo asked unbearably, "Old Liu, how are you doing?"

Liu Gang patted his travel bag and said proudly: "Fortunately, I am not humiliating my fate!"

As he said that, he opened his travel bag and took out bags of plastic or metal components from it. Finally, he took out a rectangular wooden box from the bottom of his backpack. He opened the lid to reveal what was inside.

I saw that the things here were more than 40 centimeters long and more than 10 centimeters wide. The color was pure black and divided into keys. There were different English letters on them, which turned out to be a keyboard.

Zhou Shuo pressed it with his hand, with short key strokes, even force and soft feel. Not only that, this keyboard is much thinner than the ordinary keyboard at this time, and it is quiet and comfortable to hit, and the sound is gentle and gentle. It gives people the feeling that it is definitely not comparable to the stupid, big, black and thick traditional crater architecture keyboard at this time. It is obviously the X-architecture keyboard commonly used in later generations.

Zhou Shuo clapped his hands happily and said with a smile: "No, it's really good. Compared with ordinary keyboards, it feels more comfortable and labor-saving. It can be used for a long time without fear of fatigue. Unexpectedly, I just explained the principle and you actually made it!"

Liu Gang showed a proud smile on his face, but said, "Hey, what's the difficulty? This X-architecture keyboard is actually similar to the laptop's scissors-foot keyboard. Just think about it and understand it."

Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed and continued, "The trouble is that the accessories are not easy to make. You can get in after a mold of a few thousand yuan. An injection molding machine is tens of thousands of yuan. The flexible silver paste film PCB you mentioned is not available in China. I will order a batch of rigid boards to deal with it. When our products are exported, we can change foreign exchange to buy American goods."

Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "It's okay, conductive rubber is a bit expensive, but our keyboard has no competitors, so we don't have to worry about how much it costs. By the way, you haven't forgotten the patent matter, right?"

"How can I forget this?" Liu Gang took out a stack of documents from his travel bag and handed it to him and said, "Here, including the thin-film PCB keyboard, I have registered a total of thirteen patents. They all follow you and divide the technology into one application. I found a Hong Kong law firm to handle the patents in the United States, and now I have entered the patent protection period."

"That's great!" Zhou Shuo took the patent document and checked it. This was his first pot of gold. How could he not pay attention to it?

After looking for a while, Zhou Shuo raised his head and asked again: "How is the funding situation?"

Liu Gang said seriously: "The cost is not small. I booked a batch of raw materials, plus the cost of purchasing equipment and applying for patents, and I spent a total of 178,000 yuan. I have both invoices and contracts here."

As he said that, Liu Gang took out a stack of documents for Zhou Shuo. He took it and flipped it around casually and said, "In this way, if we want to start production, we have to prepare a site and work. I think so, temporarily, hang the keyboard factory under the school-run factory of the First Vocational High School. The site is the spare classroom of the teaching building. As for workers, there are more than 100 students who graduated from First Vocational High School in July. It is difficult to find jobs now, so there must be many that have not been found yet."

He pounded the table and thought about it, and then said, "But this is not a long-term solution. It's better for the school to concentrate on teaching. I'll trouble you, Lao Liu. I'll pay another 400,000 yuan. Can you find a place to start a keyboard factory?"

Liu Gang was startled and said in surprise: "400,000? Zhou'er, it seems that you have really sold it. Now there are factories that cannot be opened everywhere on the market, and the land is not valuable. If you give a 100,000 yuan, some people will come up and sell it."

Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "Then it's decided that this factory is all about how to build it. If it's done, you will be the factory manager, how about it?"

"Uh--" Liu Gang asked in confusion: "What are you doing as the factory director?"

"I'll be the principal!" Zhou Shuo patted the computer on the table and smiled bitterly: "There's a big business in the first vocational high school and the first vocational school. I can't be busy running on both sides. I'm all counting on you at the keyboard factory!"

Liu Gang said enthusiastically when he heard this: "It's true! I didn't say anything. I'll be the director of this factory. Just look at it!"

After sending Liu Gang away, Zhou Shuo sat down and thought about it. The graduate question mentioned just now reminded him that the students in the summer computer training class are not only students, but many of them still want to learn a skill. The computer employment market in Xiucheng is not big now, that is, major enterprises and institutions can recruit typists, etc. If these people finish their studies and go out to find jobs, wouldn’t they be a vocational high school brand?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this issue was worthy of attention. After class, he hurriedly found He Youyou.

"How is the current teaching progress? Are there any students in the training class who can keep up with our interest group's knowledge level?"

He Youyou nodded affirmatively and said, "There are a few students who want to take the computer level exam. They are more motivated to learn and have relatively comprehensive knowledge."

Zhou Shuo thought for a while and said, "These people may not find jobs after taking the exam. Please ask them if anyone is willing to stay and take over the current work of the interest group. After all, after the start of school, you still have to focus on your studies. We have to find a group of people to continue writing the software."

He Youyou nodded proudly and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask now."

After a while, He Youyou came back with a few people. She pointed at these people and said, "Teacher Zhou, these are the best students in our training class. I asked, they are all willing to stay and be programmers."

Zhou Shuo stood up and looked at the students behind her. He had some impression of these people. After all, he also took this class at the beginning. He reached out to shake each of them and smiled: "We, a Vocational High School, want to organize people to engage in computer program development. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Principal, are you talking about writing the kind of software we use like programmers?" a student asked excitedly.

In the early 1990s, writing software was still a very high-end thing. In the eyes of ordinary people, people who wrote software were all scientists wearing white coats and working in research institutes, or foreign high-tech talents in suits and ties could only do things in high-rise buildings with bright windows and clean windows.

Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "We are mainly engaged in the writing of commercial software. Of course, if we have the opportunity, we will also develop some application software."

A student with thick-framed glasses asked with some concern: "Aren't those software made by foreigners? Can we do it?"

Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "It's all the same head and two eyes. Why can't we do what others can do?"

The student in front stood up and said, "Hey, the principal is right. I see, no one is missing the root string. We can do what others can do! Do you think so?"

How can those who learn computers not want to make software? Thinking that they can do such high-tech things, these students were immediately excited.

"Principal, take us to do it!"

"Yes, even if we don't pay, we'll do it with you!"

"Principal Zhou, I will give you more than 100 pounds. I will never shake my eyebrows when I go to the oil pan at the knife mountain!"

Zhou Shuo quickly pressed his arms and pressed their voices down. Looking at these pairs of longing eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. In China in the 1990s, knowledge was respected. Learning was not only for survival, but also for them a life attitude.

As long as there is a front-line opportunity, Chinese people are always willing to use knowledge to change their destiny.

Zhou Shuo took the paper and pen from the side and said, "Okay, let's have a quiet time. Let's register. Students who are willing to engage in program development will not have to attend training classes from today. You will study with the students in the interest group in the remaining few days. When they go back to school, you will take over their work and continue to develop. As for the salary, we will set a temporary 1,500 first. Do you think it's good?"

"How many? One thousand five?!"

"No need for this? We learn knowledge as we go. It's good if we don't spend money. How can we get the money again?"

"One thousand five is too much. I'm going to say that 600 yuan is already a good job on the market now!"

Zhou Shuo sighed and thought about it and said, "The money must be given, but you don't blame me for giving less in the future!"

Everyone laughed and said, "Don't worry, Principal, you taught us knowledge and paid wages. If anyone is greedy, then he will still be a human being!"

I hope Zhou Shuo thought silently in his heart.

Outside the computer room, the students who were freely active suddenly heard a burst of warm cheers burst out from inside. After a while, several classmates who had always been at the top of their studies came out from inside. People with great curiosity immediately surrounded them and asked what was going on inside.

"What? Do you want to write software?" asked one of the onlookers in surprise.

The student who had just come out of the computer room raised his head and said arrogantly: "That's not the case, our principal said it personally. We won't be able to attend classes with you in the next few days. Let's get familiar with it first. When the students of the second high school start school, we will take over their jobs! Haha, maybe you will use the software I developed in the future!"
