Chapter 656 Year-end summary and future planning

When Chang Haonan came here just now, he was riding in Ding Gaoheng's car. Now that he was leaving the latter's house, he naturally had no means of transportation.

However, the distance between the two sides is only about one kilometer. In addition, most important people live in this area. The security level is extremely high, so there is no need to worry about any safety issues.

Therefore, there was no need for him to call Zhu Yadan over to pick him up, but he was going to go back directly on Route 11.

It should be eaten after a meal.

It is almost New Year's Eve, so the moon is basically only a thin line like a scimitar.

Fortunately, there are a lot of street lights around, so walking normally is no problem.

"call--"

Chang Haonan took a long breath and watched the white mist rising slowly in the air with the light in front of him.

After working continuously for more than half a year, there was suddenly no work pressing him, and he even felt a little empty...

The result is... Even though my body has become idle, my mind is still thinking about serious things involuntarily.

It is now February 1999.

For Chang Haonan, the next more important thing, apart from the two projects that basically only need to be completed step by step, is to release the official version of TORCH Multiphysics.

The software itself has been almost optimized, and it has gained a lot of popularity around the world throughout last year.

First, the new machine tool brand jointly established by Torch Group and CB Ferrari does have something to offer.

Relying on its processing efficiency and lower operating difficulty that far exceed those of its peers, it has won a number of landmark orders from the automotive, shipbuilding and aviation industries.

Especially in the Volkswagen Group's bidding, the bidder had almost selected Yamazaki Mazak as the supplier of the compound turning and milling machining center.

As a result, just before signing the agreement, the NSK bearing fraud case happened, and the subsequent collapse of the credibility of a series of Japanese companies.

In fact, Yamazaki Mazak itself has not been exposed to any bad news. It even stated that it can provide the original production testing data of all supply contracts in the past twenty years, and is also willing to cooperate with third-party re-inspections of all previously sold products. It is highly likely that It's really innocent.

But in the public opinion environment at that time, the Volkswagen Group was at the forefront of the storm because one of its suppliers, NTN Group, was exposed for fraud. Even if it knew that Yamazaki Mazak was fine, it would not have been possible to sign the contract considering the impact of public opinion.

As a result, it was cheaper than the Torch-CB Ferrari Group, which had already given up hope.

However, at least so far, when customers purchase this new series of machine tools, they mainly look at the reputation of the Italians.

Including the promotion of the new brand, CB Ferrari is also the main one, supplemented by Torch Group.

Therefore, this incident alone will not give the latter too much fame.

At most, people within the machine tool industry are gradually beginning to realize that this Chinese company is amazingly powerful in machine tool structure optimization and digital simulation of machining processes.

What really made the name TORCH Multiphysics spread among the general public was the unintentional advertising space taken from Jinling Automobile.

The advertising space on the side of the side of the Ferrari F300 racing car and below the Shell Oil LOGO.

The technical achievements of the Jinling Ferrari Research Center were finally applied to the F300 racing car before the end of the season.

Originally, this upgrade, which was carried out in the penultimate race of the season, was only used as a technical verification for the F399 racing car in the second year, which is somewhat similar to the relationship between Chang Haonan's turbofan 9 and turbofan 10.

But the effect of the new aerodynamic package exceeded Rory Byrne's initial expectations.

In the first race after the upgrade, the F300 relied on its extremely extreme cornering speed in rainy weather to take first place with an outrageous result of second place in lap after an unprecedented chaotic start.

But for Chang Haonan, who is familiar with "history", it is a pity that there will no longer be the famous scene of Spa F1 tricycle on this timeline.

Throughout the season, although Schumacher still retired from the race with a puncture as he had in his previous life in Japan and missed out on the individual championship, Ferrari won the 1998 constructor championship a year ahead of schedule.

This also made Torch Group, a new sponsor and racing design tool supplier, become popular in the racing circle and even the entire automotive circle.

Logically speaking, in this case, the conditions for releasing an official version have already been met.

However, the customized version of the supercomputer planned to be released together with the software, namely Sugon 2000T, still has some final finishing work to be completed.

So I finally decided to wait until after the year.

After all, industrial software will remain an unpopular industry even after more than 20 years, and even if it is exported, it will be difficult to attract widespread attention.

But if supercomputers can be exported to Europe or even the United States - even if they are exported in the form of bundled sales, it will definitely be earth-shattering news.

In this way, it is entirely possible to reactivate China's computer hardware industry before the turn of the millennium.

You must know that at this point in time, although the gap between China's semiconductor industry and the international advanced level is already large, if it can catch up with the round of technological innovation represented by immersion lithography at the beginning of the 21st century, overall it will still be There is much to be done.

Even if high-end commercial-grade semiconductors in the consumer electronics field cannot get rid of imports immediately, they can at least ensure the independence of industrial-grade and low-end commercial semiconductors.

As long as the latter part of the profits is kept in the country, it is equivalent to opening up the hematopoietic cycle of the semiconductor industry itself, instead of relying solely on national financial allocations.

As for the back...

In China, it is not difficult to develop an industry as long as it can make money.

It can only be said that although the market economy is not omnipotent, it is indeed useful in this case.

……

It wasn't until he reached the door of his house that Chang Haonan suddenly realized that he seemed to be thinking about work again just now.

"..."

A bit difficult to stretch.

Although I was focused on work in my previous life, it was not so exaggerated. I was even making New Year's resolutions while walking on the road.

Of course, he also knows that he is not in the mindset of a worker now, so it is normal for him to be more proactive.

However, now that I have come back from my annual vacation, I should still make some adjustments to my life structure.

Thinking of this, Chang Haonan opened the door to his house, changed his clothes and quickly walked into the living room.

After all, he just moved to a new house in the afternoon, so he walked around the living room extra times before finding the white phone connected to the outside line.

Then, he picked up the phone and dialed his home number.

It's not yet ten o'clock in the evening, and considering the winter vacation life that is approaching the Spring Festival, it is obviously not enough time to sleep.

After three beeps, the phone was connected, and Zhou Li's familiar voice came from over there:

"Hey, who is this?"

"Mom, it's me."

The moment he heard his family's voice, Chang Haonan's fatigue weakened a little.

"Xonan?"

Zhou Li was also obviously stunned. After all, Chang Haonan rarely called at this time.

But he recovered quickly:

"It should be a holiday for you there soon. Jia Yao went home the day before yesterday..."

Zhou Li's tone was a little cautious, as if she was afraid of hearing words such as "I won't go home to celebrate the New Year this year."

As a result, Chang Haonan then performed a show of "whatever you fear will come to you".

"Mom, during the Chinese New Year this year...it's not convenient for me to go back to Liucheng."

When Zhou Li heard this half sentence, she almost couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, before she could feel disappointed, Chang Haonan immediately finished the second half of the sentence:

"So, I was thinking, how about you all come to the capital together and let's celebrate the New Year here."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and then a slightly quieter voice rang out.

It was obviously Zhou Li who was telling Chang Yuanchao and Chang Jiayao about this matter.

After a while, Chang Yuanchao's voice sounded next to him:

"Going to the capital...wouldn't it be too much work?"

It could be heard from his tone that he wanted to agree.

I'm just worried that it will cause trouble for Chang Haonan.

"It's nothing to worry about. There happens to be a flight from Liucheng to Beijing the day after tomorrow. I'll book the tickets for you. I'll just find someone to pick you up when you get here."

Chang Haonan tried to dispel his parents' concerns:

"It just so happens that Jia Yao has always said that she wants to come to the capital to visit. The nature of their school is special and she can't go out during the day, so she can only come during the holidays."

"Also, I just moved to a new place here. It's really a bit empty to celebrate the New Year alone. I wish I could hear the echo when I talk..."

Zhou Li felt that her words were a bit exaggerated.

So this should be giving them a reason.

But she has actually been thinking about it since just now, and now that the words have reached this point, there is no reason to refuse anymore.

"That's okay."

"But the three of us can actually go there by train, so we don't need air tickets..."

The last time Chang Haonan went home, he even bought them a house.

So Zhou Li and Chang Yuanchao must know that Chang Haonan has a little money.

But for people of their generation, saving money can be said to be a nearly instinctive habit.

But the latter obviously cannot agree.

It's not that she has any prejudice, but that trains in this era are really chaotic.

However, Chang Haonan also knew that it would be difficult to convince Zhou Li, so he might as well change his mind:

"It's okay, I booked the flight at the internal price, it doesn't cost a lot of money..."

"..."

After some pulling and pulling, Zhou Li finally agreed to Chang Haonan's arrangement.

The latter hung up the phone with satisfaction, and then dialed the number Wu Yifan had left for him...
