When will I have a long tassel?

"Hey, wife, what time should we go out?"

Outside the south gate of Tsinghua University, in a unit in a relatively high-end residential area, Tang Zifeng sat in front of the computer, lazily using the mouse to direct several farmers on the screen to chop down trees, while sitting opposite another Xiao Wenjun, who was also facing the computer screen but frowning, asked.

Since Xiao Ming went to the capital to meet Tang Zifeng's parents at the beginning of the year, the relationship between Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun has been upgraded to a higher level. Every time Tang Zifeng comes back to the capital, he doesn't spend more time living at home than in this house.

Xiao Wenjun bought this apartment with his own money, originally just to stay there occasionally. Later, the other two girls in the dormitory moved out of the dormitory to rent a house nearby with their boyfriends to enjoy the world of two people in advance. Xiao Wenjun had no fun staying in the dormitory alone, so he moved out completely. She doesn't have a house or a boyfriend, so why can't she move out?

Now that they all live together, Tang Zifeng naturally changes the title of Xiao Wenjun to "daughter-in-law". Of course, this is only limited to when the two of them are alone. On other occasions, he would still call Xiao Wenjun "Junior Sister Xiao" in a formal manner, which was an excellent interpretation of what it means to hide one's ears and steal one's bell.

Today, the young couple had agreed in advance to visit the furniture mall because they had already jointly bought a 200-square-meter large loft in Beijing. Although the house has not yet been obtained, the decoration plan and furniture configuration need to be prepared in advance. According to Tang Zifeng's humble opinion, after the developer handed over the house, he could just get a car and go to the North Third Ring Road to bring a cart of IKEA furniture back. That would be considered fashionable, but his proposal was categorically rejected by Xiao Wenjun. deny.

Xiao Wenjun didn't know anything about decorating or buying furniture before, but she couldn't help it because she had a bunch of knowledgeable girlfriends. Liu Yidan and Dong Xiao, who share the same dormitory with her, are currently busy planning to buy a house. When several roommates were doing experiments in the laboratory, the topics they talked about were all related to these contents.

Xiao Wenjun is so influenced by what he sees and hears that he can now speak a few professional terms such as minimalism, pastoral style, and Scandinavian style from time to time. According to her, IKEA furniture is fashionable for single men and women, but if you start a family and still use IKEA furniture, you will be laughed at. Tang Zifeng is smart enough in other things, but when it comes to these things, he becomes a complete idiot and can only listen to Xiao Wenjun's arrangements.

They agreed to go out after lunch, but when Tang Zifeng finished washing the dishes in the kitchen and came out, he found that Xiao Wenjun was still staring at the computer, saying that he had suddenly thought of an idea and would be delayed for a few minutes. Tang Zifeng knew that once Xiao Wenjun started designing, the "a few minutes" in her mouth could be translated into ten minutes, dozens of minutes or even several hours. So, he turned on the computer in his spare time, clicked on Age of Empires, and prepared to play a game first.

Seven ancient civilizations played by computers were all destroyed by Tang Zifeng, and in the end only one farmer was left by the enemy. Tang Zifeng built a wall to trap the poor survivor, and then ordered his farmers to start cutting down trees all over the map. Seeing that all the trees on the entire continent had been cut down, it was devastated. It was enough for future generations of environmental protection girls to point at Tang Zifeng and yell "How_dare_you", but Xiao Wenjun was still sitting there, not moving at all. mean.

"Hey, wife, are you going yet?"

Not hearing Xiao Wenjun's answer, Tang Zifeng turned his head and looked at Xiao Wenjun and asked again.

"What are you anxious about?" Xiao Wenjun asked angrily.

"You're in a hurry, okay? Who said yesterday that we were going to see the furniture today? Really, we haven't gotten the house yet, so why are we looking at the furniture?"

"You are in a hurry to buy a house, okay?"

"It was Lao Xiao who urged me to buy a house, okay?"

"Who makes you anxious to see Lao Xiao? It makes Lao Xiao think that we are already in trouble. Can he not urge you to buy a house?"

"Yes, Lao Xiao has spoken, can I not listen?"

"But this new design of the milling machine was also requested by you. Do you still blame me?"

Xiao Wenjun turned around and decisively avoided the topic of buying a house. In fact, she was far more proactive than Tang Zifeng when it came to buying a house. If the argument continued, she would not have the upper hand.

How could Tang Zifeng be someone who would compete with his wife? When he heard Xiao Wenjun change his mind, he commanded a few spearmen to go forward and kill the last enemy. Then he quit the game and said: "There is no rush about the milling machine. , If it doesn’t work, you and I can go to Jinnan for a walk in a few days and chat with the technical staff of the mold company, maybe you will be enlightened.”

"Okay." Xiao Wenjun also turned off the computer. When Tang Zifeng interrupted her, she could no longer find her vague idea. She might as well go out for a walk. She stood up and said while changing her clothes: "I just suddenly had some vague thoughts while eating. I sat in front of the computer and couldn't remember it anymore. Let's go, let's go look at the furniture first. Maybe I can change my mind and come back again." I remembered."

Tang Zifeng could only shake his head and sigh. Regarding the machine tool design, he really couldn't help him. He couldn't even give Xiao Wenjun some tips.

A few weeks ago, Han Weichang came from Jinnan and reported to Tang Zifeng the results of his business contacts with some mold companies in Jinnan. According to Han Weichang, the manufacturing industry in Jinnan and surrounding provinces is developing very rapidly, which has led to the great development of the mold industry. Whether it is the production of metal products or plastic products, molds are inseparable. Mold manufacturing relies heavily on milling machines and grinders.

In the early years, the metal products and plastic products made in China were of lower grade and did not have high requirements for molds. There was basically no need for precision molds. Many mold companies can meet production needs using ordinary milling machines and grinders. In recent years, customers' requirements for the accuracy of molds have continued to increase, and the complexity of molds has also been different from the past, which has directly led to the demand for high-end milling machines and grinders.

The high-end milling machines and grinders needed by mold companies have two characteristics: first, higher processing accuracy, and second, higher degree of numerical control. In the past, when opening a mold, it was considered fashionable to have requirements such as a streamlined shape, but now the molds are particular about having various patterns, and even the trademarks of some products have to be placed directly on the mold to facilitate one-time use. Stamping.

As molds become more complex, machine tools are required to have a higher degree of numerical control. Domestic machine tool companies have already mastered CNC technology, but compared with foreign giants, their level is undoubtedly far behind. In other words, they can only win a small part of the market by relying on low prices. It is really difficult for domestic companies to develop such CNC machine tools that are suitable for high-precision processing of complex curved surfaces.

Han Weichang contacted more than a dozen mold companies in Jinnan during this trip. Everyone said that the price of imported milling machines was too high and they could not afford it. However, they also complained that the intelligence of domestic milling machines was too low. When processing some complex surfaces, just Writing CNC code can drive people crazy. According to the leaders of these companies, if domestic milling machines can solve the problems of CNC operation, the mold companies in Jingnan and Mingxi areas alone will be able to provide milling machine orders of hundreds of millions of yuan a year, and the price will not be the same. Too harsh.

Orders for milling machines worth several hundred million yuan are enough for Tengji to jump from the bottom to the top. Tang Zifeng got the news about Han Weichang and focused on this matter. If Linyiji wants to merge with Tengji, it cannot do without a few key products, and the mold milling machine can undoubtedly be used as a key product. He instructed Canglong Research Institute to concentrate on analyzing the needs of mold companies and come up with designs that can satisfy these companies as soon as possible.

Xiao Wenjun, as a senior expert at Canglong Research Institute, was also assigned tasks. But while she was completing these tasks, she had been thinking about another issue, which was whether it was possible to break out of the routine of foreign mold milling machines and find a new path.

Following the foreign technology route, the path is ready and the direction is clear. The only problem is that all the gateways on this road have already been occupied, or in other words, they are full of various patent thresholds. The solutions I can think of have already been thought of by large foreign companies and have applied for patents.

If you do it according to other people's methods, you need to pay patent fees to others, and you end up working for others. If you want to bypass these patents, not to mention whether you can find a new method, even if the new method exists, it is often less efficient, because shortcuts are the easiest to be found, and those paths that have not been found are often It's too remote, so people may not be able to find it, but they may be too lazy to look for it.

After hanging out with Tang Zifeng for a long time, Xiao Wenjun now has a very high vision, thinking about competing with foreign giants in everything. If you want to compete with foreign countries, you need to have new ideas, and it is a disruptive idea. In Tang Zifeng's words, it is overtaking in a corner. Xiao Wenjun was not sure whether such a train of thought really existed, but she still wanted to give it a try. This was the style of a top student.

Xiao Wenjun got angry, and the result was that for several weeks, she would suddenly fall into deep thought from time to time, regardless of time or occasion. Things like this, where you agreed to go out but suddenly changed your mind, were nothing. Tang Zifeng had also encountered things that were more maddening than this, such as..., well, let's not talk about it.

Xiao Wenjun, who had put on a cool summer dress, looked more normal and no longer had the awe-inspiring face of a top student. The young couple held hands and walked out of the house, got on the elevator and went straight to the underground garage.

Even in the capital, private cars are still relatively rare nowadays, and half of the parking spaces in underground garages are empty. Tang Zifeng took out the remote control and unlocked his Passat and got into the driver's seat. On the other side, Xiao Wenjun also sat in the passenger seat holding a small Kun bag.
