The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 237: Naked Butt Grinding

Liu Hua took the initiative to extend his hand: "Deputy Director of Seagull Factory, may I ask your name?"

"No need to be surnamed Sun." Deputy Director Sun said with a smile, "I don't know if you are busy, Professor Liu. I would like to invite you to have a meal outside and we can chat while we eat."

Liu Hua waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't have the time. We have little funding now, so we have to make more achievements within a limited time. Every time we set up a project, we have to race against time. Only after the project is completed can we have time to sit down and rest."

"Thank you for your hard work." Director Sun said repeatedly, "Since you are busy, I will not waste any more of your time. Huaqing University came to our Seagull Factory to request to jointly develop lens manufacturing technology, so I asked a little more about it. It seems that you are going to research digital cameras?"

"Yes." Liu Hua nodded: "Why, are you Seagulls interested?"

Director Sun said with a smile: "We are a camera factory. If you want to make digital cameras, we are the right partner. Our factory's leadership team has studied it and is determined to get this project."

"I don't know if you know anything about digital cameras?"

Director Sun shook his head and said, "To be honest, I have never heard of it. But since it is a camera and we are the leader in domestic cameras, who else can compete with us, Seagull Factory?"

"Although they are both cameras, there are differences between digital cameras and film cameras." Liu Hua smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, digital cameras belong to the semiconductor industry. If your Seagull Factory wants to win the digital camera project, you must start accumulating semiconductor talents from now on."

"Semiconductors?" Director Sun scratched his head. "Oh, I heard this is a high-tech industry. We have a microelectronics research institute in Shanghai that deals with computers. I heard it's the semiconductor industry."

"The first computer in our country was developed by the Shanghai Microelectronics Research Institute, which is a pioneer in our industry."

Director Sun thought for a moment and said, "Well, Professor Liu, I won't disturb you at work. After get off work tonight, can you spare some time, either over dinner or tea, to talk to me about this digital camera? I will also know more about it so that we can go back and prepare it for our factory."

Liu Hua nodded: "Okay, see you tonight."

In the evening, Director Sun was in a small restaurant near Huaqing University. You ordered a few dishes and a bottle of rice wine.

He was an expert and knew that white wine was originally drunk by ordinary people at the bottom of society because they needed that anesthetic feeling. Most of the upper class people and literati drank rice wine.

"Professor Liu, please explain to me what a digital camera is. The leader of our factory was just too excited and thought that since it is a camera, it should be the same. In the end, I was left to run around in circles and embarrass myself."

Director Sun said embarrassedly: "Before I met you, I went to our superior department and told them that our Seagull Factory wanted to win the digital camera project. The technicians in the superior department kept looking at me and laughing, but they didn't tell me why. Now I know that I was just pulling the mill with my bare bottom."

"This is a new thing, so it's understandable that most people don't understand it." Liu Hua said with a smile: "The first digital camera was only introduced in 71, but it was not worth promoting at all. Now we are researching digital cameras to make them as convenient as film cameras, or even more convenient." "Tell me more about it."

Director Sun poured Liu Hua a glass of wine, and then took out a pen and a notebook from his briefcase. This is the basic skill for a leading cadre. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. If you don't remember, how can you show that you value the other person's speech.

So Liu Hua talked to Director Sun from a technical perspective for about ten minutes. What he said was very confusing and Director Sun took a lot of notes, but he still couldn't understand what was going on.

Of course Liu Hua knew that Director Sun didn't understand, so after explaining the basic principles, he went on to tell him what a digital camera looked like and how it worked, using the most common language to explain the most advanced technology available.

"Oh, now I understand. We don't need film." Director Sun nodded. "We can even use electronic sensing to automatically expose the image, so that people who don't know photography can become photography masters. After the image is taken, it can be stored on something like a tape and used repeatedly. It can also be transferred to a computer through a storage medium."

"Yes."

Director Sun raised his glass and said, "I toast to you. I have learned a lot from you. If you hadn't explained it to me, I wouldn't have known that there is such advanced technology in the world."

After they finished their cup, Director Sun asked again: "Can you tell me more about the technical reserves our factory needs?"

So Liu Hua told Director Sun what he had thought of. Of course, it was just a rough preparation. If the Seagull Factory really wanted to transform itself into a factory producing digital cameras, the preparations of just one factory would not be enough. They must rely on allocations from above.

At least in terms of talent, you have no way to prepare it yourself. Nowadays, many college students are assigned by the organization. Without the organization's approval, a camera factory wants to make semiconductors. Isn't this a joke?
Director Sun felt very comfortable after drinking. He put away his notebook and smiled: "I even came to Beijing specially to make a big joke. It doesn't matter if I am the only one who makes a joke. They just want to watch the fun. I have to go back and give a good shock to other factories in our factory, especially Director Ding who is in charge of technology. They said they wanted to take the project without understanding the matter clearly."

Liu Hua jokingly said, "I'm afraid you took the initiative to ask for this task, right?"

"You're right." Director Sun said calmly, "I also want to improve. How can I improve without some achievements? So I thought that if I could make this project successful, I could be promoted. I didn't expect such a mistake to happen. Oh, let's not talk about it anymore."

Director Sun raised his glass again and said, "Thank you, Professor Liu. But let's get back to the point. A digital camera is still a camera after all. No matter it is a semiconductor or mechanical one, we at Seagull Factory still want to make it. Please say a few good words to us at Seagull Factory in this regard."

Liu Hua shook his head. "Your Seagull factory is too concerned. When it comes to camera production technology, especially the most important lens, your Seagull is currently the best in the country. If you really want to produce cameras, you can't find another factory. You must be asked to transform. You just need to be prepared. Don't let the task be handed to you and you can't handle it."

"That's true." Director Sun nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and teach my colleagues a lesson and make sure they are always prepared."
