Chapter 400 Zheng Youyuan, in danger!
The biggest advantage of RioPMP300 is that you can download MP3s on the Internet without spending a penny, so it is very popular among users. After all, it is human nature to get something for free.
Therefore, the rich MP3 resources on the Internet brought endless surprises and fun, but also brought new problems in copyright protection. Diamond was soon targeted by the traditional American Recording Industry Association (RIAA), which sued Diamond on the grounds that RioPMP300 infringed intellectual property rights.
In Lu Yiming's memory, this lawsuit ended with the victory of Dimeng, and RioPMP300 became famous because of this lawsuit, and even became famous all over the world, becoming a "star" known to everyone. With a price of US$170, it became incredibly popular all over the world. Only then did people truly know the existence of the "MP3 player".
The RioPMP300 in Lu Yiming's hand looked like a larger Apple iPod. It also had a ring on the front, but there were four more buttons in the middle of the ring. There was even a long black and white display on the front compared to the iPod!
The display screen can clearly show which song is currently playing, the duration of the song and the volume, etc.
This player has 32M of internal memory, which can store about six songs, but it supports memory card expansion.
Powered by one AA battery.
When fully charged, you can listen to music for eleven hours.
Lu Yiming played with the RioPMP300 for a while and said to Cheng Xiaohua, "What do you think? Can it be made?"
Cheng Xiaohua nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is actually just a USB flash drive with a driver circuit added."
What is lacking these days is ideas. The technical content of these things is really not high.
Lu Yiming found some paper and pen, drew a sketch of the iPod in his memory, and said, "I plan to make an MP3 player based on this RioPMP300. The appearance will be angular, with a TFT display on the front, just like this one. The ring can be improved. Also, I want to use a non-removable internal battery, so that it can be made into an irregular shape, making the most of the internal space, and charging with a data cable. The memory should be no less than 128M. Is there any problem?"
Cheng Xiaohua thought about it, and finally nodded seriously: "Theoretically, it's not a big problem."
"That's fine. Let's organize scientific research."
Lu Yiming doesn't understand technology, but his head is full of cool ideas. As long as he puts these ideas into practice, it will be enough to keep these scientific researchers busy.
You know, the electronic products he used in later generations were made with the sacrifice of hair of countless programmers and designers.
There must be something special about products that can stand out in the era of crazy internal competition twenty years later.
The only problem right now is the touch screen, otherwise we would have to make an iPhone to let these people see it.
After communicating with Cheng Xiaohua and making sure that Cheng Xiaohua understood the essence of the design, Lu Yiming left.
Next it was time for Cheng Xiaohua and the others to work, and Lu Yiming only had to wait and see the finished product.
On Saturday night, Lu Yiming was tutoring Li Quanwang in mathematics when his cell phone rang. It was Zheng Fengting calling.
This made Lu Yiming feel surprised. After all, the two of them barely communicated with each other in the classroom.
With suspicion, Lu Yiming pressed the answer button, but he heard Zheng Fengting crying on the other end of the phone.
"Lu Yiming, can you come to the military hospital? My father has just been sent here for emergency treatment. My mother has returned to her hometown to visit relatives, and my brother is now in Hong Kong. I don't , so I had to call you."
"What? Rescue? Wait, I'll be there soon!"
Lu Yiming was startled and said to Li Quanwang, "Zheng Fengting's father is in the hospital for emergency treatment. Let's go and see him."
Li Quanwang curled his lips and said, "When did you get involved with Zheng Fengting again? Her father is not your father, why are you so nervous?"
While Lu Yiming was packing his things, he said, "You know Mingyuan Technology, right?"
Li Quanwang opened his mouth and said, "I know. Didn't you say you are a shareholder there?"
Lu Yiming sighed immediately: "The other shareholder is Zheng Fengting's father."
"Hold."
Only then did Li Quanwang realize that Lu Yiming and Zheng Youyuan were partners. He had never known this before. After all, he was already busy managing the Internet cafe and preparing for the college entrance examination, so he had no time to take care of anything else.
After all, I am a classmate of Zheng Fengting. Although we haven't talked much on weekdays, I still have to go and see her now. Maybe I can help in any way.
Li Quanwang closed the book and said, "Let's go."
Zheng Fengting and two bewildered company employees sat in the corridor outside the emergency room. There was no conversation between the three of them, and their faces looked extremely anxious.
Lu Yiming appeared at the end of the corridor. Zheng Fengting saw him and stood up suddenly.
Lu Yiming came over quickly, frowned, and asked, "What happened? Isn't General Zheng usually in good health? Why did he suddenly fall ill?"
Zheng Fengting was already in a depressed mood, and after seeing Lu Yiming, she couldn't help crying out loud, and her delicate face was immediately covered with tears.
When the two employees saw Lu Yiming, they stood up immediately. Although they still looked anxious, they felt much calmer, as if they had found their backbone.
"Boss Lu, you are finally here."
These two people are the company's gold medal salesmen. After Liu Qian left, they took up the banner of the sales department. They are quite active in their work on weekdays and have good performance. They have been singled out for praise by Zheng Youyuan at the company's internal commendation meetings several times.
One of the employees explained to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Zheng was trying to win an order from a Taiwanese electronics factory. He drank too much and ended up drinking too much. He got liver poisoning and was sent to the emergency room for treatment."
The two are extremely anxious now. After all, the boss came out with them to socialize with clients, but they were fine while the boss got drunk and got into trouble. Aren’t they in trouble now?
After listening to this, Lu Yiming didn't know what to say for a moment.
He felt that Zheng Youyuan was also sick. He didn't want to do his job as chairman but ran off to take over sales jobs.
Now it’s better. He drank himself into the hospital.
You are already old, wouldn’t it be better for you to just be a quiet and indifferent person?
Zheng Fengting didn't know anyone in the company . Her father was still in the emergency room, and there were no relatives around. She was just a little girl, how could she bear it? She looked at Lu Yiming eagerly and sobbed, "Will my father be okay?"
Although Zheng Fengting seems to be a very independent and strong-willed person, she is ultimately just a teenage girl. If she loses her father, she feels terrified just thinking about the scene.
Lu Yiming comforted him, "General Zheng is blessed with a good fortune. Good people will be blessed by heaven. He will definitely be safe. Don't worry for now."
Zheng Fengting sat in the corridor, still sobbing quietly.
Lu Yiming asked Li Quanwang to buy her a cup of hot coffee. He handed the coffee to Zheng Fengting and said, "It has a lot of sugar and milk in it. It tastes good. Have some. When you are in a bad mood, eating more sweets can help soothe your nerves."
With two familiar classmates, Lu Yiming and Li Quanwang, by her side, and after drinking a few sips of sweet coffee, Zheng Fengting's mood gradually eased.
"Lu Yiming, Li Quanwang, thank you."
Li Quanwang said: "Don't worry, modern medicine is very advanced, and this is the best hospital in the whole city. Uncle Zheng will definitely be safe."
Just at this moment, a young man came hurriedly, holding some fruit in his hand, looking around with an anxious look on his face.
When Zheng Fengting saw it, she was immediately surprised and asked, "Cousin, why are you here?"
This man's name is Zheng Baishun, and he is Zheng Fengting's cousin.
Zheng Baishun saw Zheng Fengting, walked over quickly and asked, "Tingting, how is your uncle now? Is he okay? I just heard that your uncle was in trouble and came here."
Zheng Fengting briefly described Zheng Youyuan's condition, and then said, "He's still being rescued."
Zheng Baishun patted Zheng Fengting on the shoulder and comforted her, saying, "You just drank too much. It's not a big problem. Believe in the doctor's ability."
Then, Zheng Baishun seemed to have just seen Lu Yiming, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, you are here too."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Secretary Zheng."
Zheng Baishun is the secretary of the chairman Zheng Youyuan. He has always been by Zheng Youyuan's side and can be regarded as his right-hand man. Ever since Zheng Youyuan focused his management on Mingyuan Technology, the business of the original electronics factory has basically been handed over to Zheng Baishun.
The two had met each other several times, but were not very familiar with each other.
At this moment, a nurse came out of the emergency room holding a folder and asked, "Who is the patient's family member?"
When Zheng Fengting heard this, her heart suddenly rose to her throat. She replied with a trembling voice: "I am. How is my father?"
The nurse said: "Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time. After being treated by the hospital, he is no longer in danger of death."
When Zheng Fengting heard this, a huge stone in her heart suddenly fell to the ground. She clasped her hands together, muttered something, and bowed to express her gratitude towards all directions.
"Thank you nurse, you have worked hard."
"May the gods of the four directions bless you..."
The nurse said: "After all, the patient is old. Although he is no longer in danger of death, we still recommend that he stay in the hospital for a while for observation and to recuperate."
Before Zheng Fengting could say anything, Zheng Baishun replied, "Of course, of course. You need to pay the hospital bill, right? I'll go right away. Xiaoting, you go and accompany your uncle."
Zheng Fengting's mood fluctuated greatly, and she had no ability to think at all. She wanted to go to the ward after hearing the words, but was persuaded by the nurse: "Let's transfer the patient to the ward first. Do you plan to stay in the ordinary ward?"
Zheng Baishun shouted, "Why stay in an ordinary ward? Stay in a special care ward with only one bed. Everything should be done in the best way possible. We have plenty of money. The patient's health is the most important thing."
"OK."
A few minutes later, the doctor settled Zheng Youyuan down.
After a while, Zheng Youyuan slowly opened his eyes. Zheng Fengting sat on the edge of the bed, tightly holding Zheng Youyuan's hand, sobbing and calling out: "Dad..."
Zheng Youyuan was still a little depressed, and his eyes were rather distracted. After recognizing Zheng Fengting, he grabbed her hand.
"Dad, why do you go out to drink with others when you have nothing to do? If there is business to do, do it. If there is no business to do, forget it..."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about something else. Mr. Zheng, how are you now? Do you feel better?"
Seeing Lu Yiming, Zheng Youyuan felt a little embarrassed. He forced a smile and said, "I'm so sorry to bother Mr. Lu to come here so late at night."
Lu Yiming waved his hand and said, "These are all small matters. The most important thing now is that you are safe, Mr. Zheng. Next time, just let the employees in the sales department do this kind of drinking contest. After all, you pay them to help you drink."
Zheng Youyuan felt even more embarrassed after hearing this, and said self-deprecatingly: "Ah, it seems that I can't refuse to accept my old age."
He had never been afraid of anyone when drinking when he was young, but Zheng Youyuan is old after all, and his liver function has declined seriously. Naturally, he can no longer drink as much as he did when he was young.
At this time, Zheng Baishun, who had just completed the hospitalization procedures, walked in from outside. Seeing that Zheng Youyuan had woken up, he said loudly to Zheng Fengting: "Xiaoting, I have completed all the hospitalization procedures and have also paid 100,000 yuan in advance for the hospitalization fee."
After shouting, Zheng Baishun came over and said, "Uncle, how do you feel now? If you feel uncomfortable, just stay here for a few more days. Money is not a problem, I will pay for it. Don't worry about the company's affairs, I will help you take care of it."
Zheng Youyuan coughed lightly and said, "Ah Shun, you are here too."
After all, you can't write two Zheng characters with one stroke, so Zheng Youyuan still values Zheng Baishun, a "family member". He said, "You have been with me for so many years, and you have always worked diligently. I can rest assured that you will be able to manage the company temporarily. I'm afraid I really have to entrust you with the company's affairs during this period."
Although the patient was rescued, it will take time to heal his liver. Mingyuan Technology is now in a period of rapid development, but Zheng Youyuan knows that he is no longer able to undertake such high-intensity work, so he can only appoint Zheng Baishun to take over the position temporarily.
Zheng Baishun said meticulously: "Don't worry, uncle, I will never let you down."
Seeing that Zheng Youyuan was not seriously injured, Lu Yiming said, "Mr. Zheng, it's getting late. You should have a good rest. We won't disturb you."
Zheng Youyuan said with a guilty look on his face, "I'm really sorry to bother you, Mr. Lu, to make this trip. I'll treat you to a meal later."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "That's easy. You can take a rest first and we'll leave."
Zheng Fengting said: "I'll go see them off."
The three of them walked out of the ward and went downstairs. Zheng Fengting thanked Lu Yiming and Li Quanwang again: "Lu Yiming, Li Quanwang, thank you so much for coming here tonight. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, you don't have to take it to heart. Your father is my partner, and it's reasonable for me to come and see him. It's nothing. Okay, you go up and accompany your father quickly, we're leaving. Call me if there's anything."
"good."
