Chapter 230

A week later, Gregory found seryosa early in the morning with a five inch floppy disk.

"Here, I'll show you a good thing." Grigory said while opening the computer, until the program started, inserted a floppy disk, in the input of a series of instructions, a familiar thing appeared in front of him.

"Tetris?" Xie liaosha called out in disbelief“ Where did you find it? "

"I can't help this little thing. There are some basic compilers in the manual, so I just made one. I tried it, and it was fun! Are you going to call it Tetris? That's a good name, too! " Gregory said with a smile.

"You're really good, but it's a little more complicated. It would be better if you could reduce a few figures!" Xie liaosha suggested while playing. Grigori's Tetris has more shapes than the original version, which makes it more difficult to play.

"Shouldn't Games be as complex as possible?" Asked Gregory, puzzled.

"No! If it's too hard, it's not so attractive! " Xie liaosha said while playing.

"OK, I have to go back to school. I'll leave the floppy disk for you. If you have something interesting to tell me, I can make it later!" When Gregory finished, he was ready to leave, and shagliaosha sent him all the way out. After saying goodbye to Gregory, seryosha went back to play the game. It wasn't until the afternoon when Voronezh Institute of Communication Sciences called that seryosa stopped reluctantly.

Voronezh Institute of communication science called to inform Xie liaosha that their prototype pager has been produced and asked Xie liaosha when he is free to have a look. As soon as Xie liaosha was overjoyed, he took a leave with Professor Sobchak and left Leningrad to take the fastest train to Voronezh.

Voronezh is located in the south of Moscow, the distance from Moscow is almost the same as Gorky, but Gorky is located in the east of Moscow. The situation of Voronezh is similar to that of Gorky. The whole city is located in the Don River Basin, which is also a large river port city. Voronezh is also the capital of Voronezh and an important industrial city, but it does not produce cars. The jet aircraft production line of tuponev design bureau is located here.

Recently, Xie liaosha has not known how many times he has been running back and forth on this line. Although it takes almost two days to spend on the road each time, Xie liaosha gains something every time. The cooperation with Voronezh Institute of communication science has always been very pleasant. Although the researchers also know that they are using their working time to help Xie liaosha with his private work, the money Xie liaosha gives is much higher than his salary, and no one can give up such a large amount of extra income. However, in Xie liaosha's opinion, the money is not worth mentioning at all.

However, when Xie liaosha saw the prototype made by the engineers of the Research Institute, he really didn't know what to say. This thing is very different from what Xie liaosha imagined. First of all, Xie liaosha's first feeling is that this thing is a little too big. It looks like a calculator with an antenna. The upper part is a LCD screen, and the lower part is a keyboard. Moreover, all Russian letters and numbers are listed on the keyboard. Xie liaosha really can't figure out what to do with these things?

"Can you tell me what the keyboard is for?" Xie liaosha asked somewhat unhappily.

"These are for sending messages. I'm sorry that we have slightly changed the text display function you proposed to add the function of sending messages to this pager." The person in charge of some of the answers.

"Oh? Can you give me a demonstration? " Xie liaosha asked curiously. He thought that maybe he had wronged someone else. In fact, they inadvertently created some new functions that are not available now!.

So under the cover up and explanation of the engineers of Voronezh Institute of communication science, Xie liaosha finally understood what they had done.

"Wow! It's amazing that this thing can send text messages! " Xie liaosha sighs sincerely that he finally understands why this thing is so big. It turns out that he can not only receive messages, but also send messages. It's as like as two peas in the mobile phone.

"So what is your opinion?" The other side is still a little uneasy to ask.

"You did a great job! I want to know, is there an English version? " Xie liaosha then asked.

"We have made an English version, but the keyboard is slightly different. There are fewer letters in English than in Russian, so it's easier to implement!" The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief and began to introduce their newly developed mobile phones and car phones. The volume is indeed much smaller, and the call quality is also improved. But on the whole, what shocked Xie liaosha most was the pager.

"I want to know if we can make some improvements on the pager, such as adding a few leisure games, such as this!" As Xie liaosha said this, he took out the disk that Gregory had given him from his briefcase and handed it to the engineer. After Xie liaosha finished his demonstration on the computer here, the other side definitely nodded.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, but it may increase our storage cost, and it may increase our cost!" The engineer thought it over carefully and then replied.

"What's our current cost?" Xie liaosha asked.

"About 90 dollars, mainly because some things have to be imported!" The engineer replied with some emotion that few people in the Soviet Union could afford such a price.

Xie liaosha thinks that the Americans should accept this, and this is the initial price. With the increase of production, the cost should still drop.

"Can you produce a batch for my husband, the quantity is about 100, English version, and a set of supporting operation equipment. The faster the time, the better Xie liaosha asked in a hurry. He thought this thing could be taken. In short, no matter what, first occupy the market and earn the money.

"Of course, there is no problem, but the cost is about 100000 dollars, you..." the engineer said suspiciously. It's not a small sum of money. It's not something that everyone has come up with.

"Money is not a problem, I will immediately put the funds in place, as long as you focus on R & D and production, the rest I will handle!" Xie liaosha patted his chest and assured.
