Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Chapter 018 The Hidden Master in Prison

Shenhai Qiaoyu Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd.

Tian Qiaoming stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth, chewing vigorously while gulping down water. He glanced at his wife, who was fast asleep on the sofa, then stood up and walked toward the factory gate.

These few pieces of bread have been Tian Qiaoming's dinner for a long time. It's not that he doesn't have money to improve his meals, but that he simply doesn't have time to waste on eating.

Tian Qiaoming was originally a technician at a foreign-owned electronics factory. Now he has started his own company, Qiaoyu Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., and has invested over 100,000 yuan. He is under tremendous pressure.

Tian Qiaoming's wife, Song Xiaoyu, was originally a salesperson at that foreign-funded electronics company. She had many clients, which was the source of their confidence to start their own business.

Tian Qiaoming always eats bread, not because Song Xiaoyu is not virtuous enough.

Song Xiaoyu was even more exhausted than Tian Qiaoming. She had to drink with clients almost every day, and she would always come back drunk, vomiting until she was dizzy and exhausted. When she was tired of vomiting, she would fall asleep on the sofa in Tian Qiaoming's office.

Tian Qiaoming felt heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do.

To be honest, the company doesn't lack business. Song Xiaoyu is very capable and can bring in orders of any size. The problem is that Tian Qiaoming can't do it!

Although Tian Qiaoming was a key technical staff member at the foreign-funded electronics company, he was powerless to meet the endless demands from customers.

Because it was a small company, Tian Qiaoming couldn't offer high salaries, so he had a hard time recruiting skilled technicians. Even those who were willing to come to work were far from qualified. As a result, almost all the research and design work fell on Tian Qiaoming's shoulders.

If given time, Tian Qiaoming could definitely implement these design features gradually. The problem is that the business world is like a battlefield, and customers won't give you that much time. If you can't do it, they can only look for other manufacturers.

No matter how good the relationship is, it's useless. No one will turn down money. You've already given them face. If you can't do it yourself, you can't blame anyone else.

If you can't eat the meat that's been offered to you, you really can't blame anyone else.

Fortunately, Tian Qiaoming's younger brother, Tian Qiaoguang, was recently transferred to the First Prison of Shenhai City. Through his connections, inmates in the prison were able to handle some of the products, which saved Tian Qiaoming a lot of costs.

Today, a batch of products processed by the prison has been delivered, which greatly relieved Tian Qiaoming. He only needs to spend two more days assembling them before he can hand them over to the customer.

Tian Qiaoming was well aware that the design of this batch of products still had many flaws. After the customers used them for a period of time, all sorts of problems would emerge, causing Tian Qiaoming to waste a lot of time and money on after-sales service and maintenance.

But there was no other way. The customer was pressing too hard and there was no room for delay. If I lost this customer because I couldn't deliver on time, how could I face my wife?

Engineer Zhao was in charge of quality inspection, and he was the most technically competent person in the entire company besides Tian Qiaoming.

Judging by the time, Engineer Zhao should have completed the inspection long ago, but he hasn't come over yet, which makes Tian Qiaoming very uneasy.

Could something have gone wrong?

Although it was called a factory, it was actually just a small workshop of about 200 square meters. Zhao's studio was next to the workshop. When Tian Qiaoming pushed open the studio door, he found Zhao hunched over his desk, fiddling with something.

"Engineer Zhao, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Tian Qiaoming asked cautiously.

"Qiaoming, I was just about to look for you! Come and see me!" Zhao Gong's tone was very excited. Tian Qiaoming's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately went over.

Engineer Zhao had already connected a complete test circuit. As he kept pressing various buttons, a row of small green lights connected to the circuit lit up one after another. After all the small green lights had lit up, Tian Qiaoming was finally moved.

The test circuit has more than twenty small LEDs. If there is no problem, the LED will light up green; if there is a problem, the LED will light up red.

This circuit board was tested when it was designed, and at least 10% of the time, red lights will be visible.

But this time, not a single red light was on; all the lights were green!

"What's going on?"

"Take a look at this board!" Zhao Gong casually picked up the circuit board that was being tested and handed it to Tian Qiaoming, then started fiddling with another circuit board on the test circuit.

After Tian Qiaoming picked up the circuit board and examined it, his eyes widened immediately. There were at least six flying wires on the circuit board, which completely changed his original circuit design!

Without a second thought, Tian Qiaoming immediately found the original design drawings and began to organize his thoughts by comparing the location of the flying wires. At the same time, he understood why Zhao Gonghui spent so much time testing the two circuit boards with flying wires.

The way the wire was welded was incredibly professional, including all the solder joints. It was clearly made by a master craftsman. Even he and Engineer Zhao were ashamed of their own skill.

"That's amazing! Absolutely amazing! I never knew it could be done like that! Why didn't I think of that?!"

After an unknown amount of time, Tian Qiaoming suddenly jumped up from his seat. He finally understood the thought process behind making flying wires and was filled with admiration for the person who made them.

It's worth noting that it took Tian Qiaoming and Engineer Zhao more than half a month to design this circuit board, while the other party simply deduced all the principles from the finished product and made very effective improvements!

This is simply too unbelievable.

Without blueprints, being able to deduce the principles from a finished circuit board is something that ordinary people cannot do. In addition to being well-versed in microcontroller design, one must also be thoroughly familiar with all the electronic components on the circuit board.

Even a professional team, using specialized equipment, would need to spend a considerable amount of time to thoroughly study it, let alone improve upon it.

However, it only took one or two days from when these circuit boards were delivered to when they were processed!

How is that possible? Unless this person is a master among masters, or even a genius among geniuses!

"Qiaoming, what's wrong?" Song Xiaoyu had already woken up and, seeing that Tian Qiaoming was not in the office, put on a coat and came over.

"Xiaoyu, we've made a big discovery! Come and take a look at this!" Tian Qiaoming handed the circuit board in his hand to his wife.

Song Xiaoyu examined the circuit board from all angles, but couldn't figure it out. Although she was very good at sales, she didn't know much about technology.

"This is a circuit board sent to the First Prison for processing. Someone improved it, fixing all the design flaws! It's simply amazing!"

"Really?!" Song Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.

If this batch of goods is well received by customers, the future benefits will be considerable, and it will also greatly reduce the difficulty of maintaining customers.

"Of course it's true. I think there's a master among masters in the First Prison! It would be great if we could send this talent to the company, what a pity..."

Tian Qiaoming punched his palm.

The circuit boards were handled by the inmate; he wanted to bring this expert to the company, but it was impossible.

"Qiaoming, I don't think you should give up like this. You can try to find Xiaoguang. Maybe he has a solution," Song Xiaoyu advised.

"Yes, I'll go see Xiaoguang first thing tomorrow morning and see if he can think of a solution!" Tian Qiaoming made up her mind.

Such talent should not be missed!

Even if this expert can't get out of prison, if he can help with some design work or improve their plans, it would be a huge opportunity for the company.

"What should we do with this batch of goods? Should we start over?" Engineer Zhao asked.

"No, we can't start over. The customer needs this batch of goods urgently; we absolutely can't delay!" Song Xiaoyu said after thinking for a moment.

"How about this, we'll assemble and deliver the parts first, then immediately start producing the new motherboard. Once the new board is ready, we'll replace it with the original one under the pretext of product upgrade. This way, it's essentially our after-sales service, and the customer will be even happier."

"That's right, let's do it this way!" Tian Qiaoming slapped his thigh and said happily. He was so lucky to have such a wife to help him.

At the same time, An Xiaohai, who was in class 232, frowned.

Xu Tianyou made a scene for quite a while before finally stopping. After dealing with him, An Xiaohai was exhausted and had almost no energy left to think about anything else.

An Xiaohai frowned because Xu Tianyou seemed to be acting differently than before.

An Xiaohai couldn't quite put his finger on what the differences were.

The immediate impression is that Xu Tianyou's violent tendencies seem to be constantly boiling over, and he is struggling to suppress them...
