Chapter 200 Divergence

sam's cracking upgrade activity has been a great success. At noon, the entrance of the canteen was full of people. Everyone didn't go in. They were all crowded here. They had to crack their own calculators or choose to install more software and games. Later, the staff of the canteen had to come to maintain order, so that everyone lined up and queued up one after another. Of course, if you don't want to line up, go to lunch first and come back after eating.

And Lin Hong and the four of them have been surrounded by their classmates. Everyone said that they want to upgrade their calculators. The price of $30 is very cost-effective, which is nothing more than the price of snacks a few fewer times. However, after the transformation of the calculator, the memory and flash memory can be increased, and the relay program can be installed to provide wireless broadcasting services to others. Many people want to try this function and become the center of everyone.

At the beginning, Lin Hong and the four of them could record each other's names calmly, but later, there were too many people, so they had to find an excuse to leave. The four gathered together to discuss, and then discussed a plan.

In addition, a special application program is written. You can download the program from the relay server, fill in the form, and then upload it to the server. The sam association will upgrade the calculator in a certain order.

Fill in the form, you can apply for a calculator upgrade, or you can buy cdad relay equipment.

Among them, when applying for hardware upgrade and transformation, you must not only write down your class name clearly, but also describe your purpose of upgrading. If you are willing to volunteer to provide relay services for everyone, you will be given priority.

At noon, Arthur wrote the application program in the activity room and published it on the server as soon as possible, so that everyone can download and install it in the canteen.

When they arrived at school in the afternoon, Lin Hong and others returned to the activity room again and looked at the application form on the server, which had reached more than 160 copies. Except for more than 30 of them who bought ccdd's synchronization devices, the others wanted to upgrade their calculators.

Matthew is very happy about this: "It seems that everyone is looking forward to our upgrade. Even cdad has more than 30 orders."

However, the other three are not as optimistic as him.

Originally, everyone thought that there would not be a lot at the beginning. First, it was a small batch of trials, and then it gradually increased, so that they could also make it in time.

But now, there are so many orders piled up at one time. How busy is it? And there must be someone who will join in the future. There are only four of them. Even if they work all day long, I don't know how many weeks it will take to complete.

"So many orders, when can we complete them?" Arthur asked.

"Yes. Transforming the calculator is a meticulous job. If you are not careful, there is likely to be hardware failure, which will inevitably slow down. Lin Hong was also a little helpless.

Matthew was stunned. He just thought that the more orders the better, but he didn't think about whether he could eat enough.

"Then let's temporarily stop this transformation application."

This is indeed a headache. If it cannot be solved, it will greatly limit the development of the sam association. Now it is only a part of the students of our school. What if other schools also place orders?

It is definitely impossible to finish all these tasks by themselves. After all, they still have their own things, and it is impossible to spend time on it 24 hours a day.

"There is no need to pause." Lin Hong thought, "This transformation is not very difficult. As long as you have a little electrical foundation, you can replace the memory chip according to the specified steps. We can consider hiring someone to do it. As for cdd, if the quantity is relatively large, you can consider entrusting a factory for production and processing."

Arthur asked, "It's just that our price is set relatively low, and we still ask others to do it. Won't we lose money?"

They all looked at Matthew.

Only he knows best about this kind of thing.

"The renovation cost of 30 dollars is about five dollars. I want to ask a skilled person to carry out the renovation. I don't need five dollars." Matthew thought carefully, "I believe that there should be a lot of people in the electronic market who are willing to take this job. I'll go downtown in the afternoon.

"Where's ccdd? Do you also entrust others to process it?"

"This synchronization device is a product invented by ourselves." There is no similar product on the market. If you directly hire someone to process it, it is easy to be imitated. It is also after applying for a patent to hire someone to process it. Matthew went to learn about this before and found that this area was still blank in the market.

"Well, Stone, if you have experience in applying for a patent, you need to apply for a patent for cdad. After the patent application is accepted, we will entrust others to process it."

Judging from everyone's reaction this time, Matthew also found that the chad device may be very interesting. He may not have thought so much at first, but now he has the idea of commercializing it.

"I can find a client, but there may be a certain fee."

"This is no problem. Our association still has some money.

Lin Hong: "In whose name?"

His words stopped Matthew.

Yes, if you want to apply for a patent, you must have an applicant. In whose name is it?

Pison said weakly at this time, "Why don't we start a company?"

At this time, everyone focused their eyes on Pison and looked at him as uncomfortable.

"This...it's okay not to start..."

"I think Pearson's proposal is very good!" Matthew suddenly came to the spirit, "Yes, why don't we start a company?"

This idea turned out to be the first one put forward by Pearson. He felt a little dissatisfied with himself. This matter should have been considered by him.

Lin Hong was also very surprised by this idea. According to the company's statement, he gradually got to know something after he came to the United States. 〖 Most of the people in China are factories or self-employed. His father is the director of the car and wood factory. He took a lot of effort to contract it smoothly.

He couldn't help asking, "Can we also start a company?"

"Of course I can!" Matthew said, "Anyone can do it as long as you want."

"What qualifications do we need?"

"Qualification?"

"Uh... For example, who gives us a credit guarantee, and how much registered capital is needed."

Matthew was asked. He is very strange. Does the company want these things? In fact, he has no practical experience, but seeing that Lin Hong is more professional, he is a little uncertain.

"I don't need these." Pison took over the conversation, "It used to be a little troublesome, but now that the network is established, you just need to fill in an application form on the state government website, print it out, attach a cheque of $200, and mail the information to the State Bureau of Industry and Commerce. After about a week, you can receive the new company's business license, steel seal and blank standard company file folder..."

Pison talked freely and knows these details.

"Pison, why are you so familiar with these contents?" Matthew said strangely.

"My father runs an enterprise consulting company, specializing in helping entrepreneurs solve all kinds of problems. I have seen a lot since I was a child, and I will know it over time."

At this time, Arthur, who had never spoken, suddenly frowned and said, "Found a company? Then aren't we commercialized?

As soon as he said this, he suddenly became cold.

Everyone can see that Arthur is against the establishment of a company.

Matthew sorted out the language: "Arthur, commercialization can better serve everyone, don't you think? We can't always rely on donations or sponsorship. Only by establishing our own profit model can we maintain it for a longer time..."

However, Matthew failed to convince Arthur this time. Arthur insists that it is Sam's future to continue to continue in the nature of public welfare. If he starts a company because of this, the nature will be completely changed, and the establishment of the company will make them put profits first.

So, on the evening of April Fool's Day, the Sam Association held a plenary meeting again.

The theme of the meeting is what is the next step of the sam association? Do you want to start a company or not?

[max: Guys, our association is developing very well, but now we have some problems internally. Let's discuss how to go next.]

Then, Matthew briefly described what they discussed today to the other three members. The torch spoke first.

[Torch: In fact, I had expected this situation for a long time, but I didn't expect this day to come so early. This is mainly because the products launched in the second phase of sam are too lifelike, which leads to the early arrival of this step.]

[Atom: I don't care, public welfare or business, it's not bad.]

The atom was the last to join, and he felt that his contribution to the association was relatively small, so he made a statement first.

[Eagle: I think a big factor that the Sam Association can get to this day is that we are non-commercial, and many things are provided to everyone for free. That's why calculator hackers in other places are willing to contribute content to us. Therefore, I think we should stick to it as before. We can't start to change our original intention just because we have some achievements.]

Calculator hacker, this is the name for developers, including hardware and software.

[Left hand: I think the young eagle's words make sense. If we commercialize the sam association, the calculator hackers will leave us, and our software library can't have so much software.]

[max: But if we start a company, we can pay them. Let them have the energy to make more powerful software.]

[Torch: Matthew's words are good. It is unreliable to rely on everyone's interests to promote the development of the association. After all, everyone's energy is limited, and it is impossible to spend most of their time on it. If we can pay them, I believe we can attract more professional hackers to join us.

[Pison: I agree to start a company.]

Atomic neutrality, Matthew, Torch and Pison are in favor of starting the company, while Arthur and Left are not in favor of it. Lin Hong is the only one who has not made a statement.

[max: stone, what do you mean?]
