Chapter 754 Vision

"Sit down, let's sit down and chat." The old man greeted Zhou Zhi cordially and sat down: "I'm a big smoker, but now the doctor only allows me to smoke three cigarettes a day. I just let them smoke during the meeting. I couldn't bear it. How am I enjoying it now?"

"

"Smoking is bad, don't imitate me." The old man said and lit a cigarette.

This is a bit of a double standard, and Zhou Zhi doesn’t know how to answer it.

"Don't be nervous." The old man blew out the match: "Hu came to report today and said that someone has put forward opinions on the new font we have developed, and he has also developed a new font by himself. Ah, now it seems that the situation is still ready.

Do you mean to tell me not to be nervous? Zhou Zhi was almost scared to death.

When the old man blew out the cigarette and laughed, Zhou Zhi realized that the old man was indeed joking.

"No, no." This joke was too big for his small body. Zhou Zhi quickly explained: "We held an internal seminar to discuss the feasibility of the Unicode solution."

,This plan is completely feasible?”

"Theoretically it is feasible, but there is still a lot of work to be done." Zhou Zhi said: "Of course it is not a technical problem, but... a conceptual and... institutional problem."

"Concepts and systems..." The old man seemed to be touched: "Tell me about it."

"First of all, the Unicode standard itself was not proposed by the International Organization for Standardization, but by a group of entrepreneurs, scholars, and even enthusiasts."

"Of course, from the current point of view, although the concepts proposed by the alliance are more advanced than those proposed by the International Organization for Standardization, they are still in the initial stage and are far from mature and complete."

"So your suggestion is that we join in and help it mature and improve?" the old man asked.

"Yes, first of all, the access mechanism of this organization is very simple. You can enter by paying money;"

"Secondly, businessmen are all driven by profit and regard it as a product, so the criteria for selecting a solution are very simple, that is, whoever is easy to use and has low cost will win."

"Therefore, I think that compared to the International Organization for Standardization, joining the alliance will be much less affected by political factors. And our opportunities and voice should be greater than in the International Organization for Standardization."

The old man took another puff of cigarette: "If it doesn't work out, what will be the consequences?"

"Even if it doesn't happen, at least we have our own Chinese font library. At least we have our own standards. Even if we continue to expand on the basis of GB13000 in the future, we have a solid foundation for implementation."

The old man shook the cigarette ashes: "If it works, according to the principle of 'digging out' a text and dividing it into sections, does it mean that all information systems using Chinese characters in the world have one and only one set of codes? Listen to Hu

That’s what reporting means, right?”

"Absolutely, but there is another premise, that is, the Unicode standard is really widely used around the world." Zhou Zhi added.

"As you just said, this conspiracy was started by a group of hardware vendors, software vendors, scientists, and enthusiasts engaged in the information industry."

"These people are all practitioners, so I think they must be far more practical than the bureaucrats of the International Standardization Committee, understand practice better, and know how to set this standard."

"For us, developing this standard actually has a great significance."

"grandfather……"

"Perhaps this problem can only be solved by your generation, or even your next generation, and the next generation." The old man waved his hand, and his tone became firmer: "But we must not create problems for future generations.

When new problems arise, such as this Chinese character encoding, if we can unify it, we will unify it first!"

"Grandpa!" Zhou Zhi stood up, surprised and excited, but also extremely impressed: "Do you support us in Unicode?"

The big shots really have a different perspective on the problem. Although I have thought about the problem of everyone using one set of codes, I have never thought about it so deeply.

"I can only give verbal support." The old man played humor again: "Some people are short-sighted. For example, our 909 Project is currently in preliminary discussions because they are not optimistic about the chip market in the next few years.

, many people are worried about the introduction of production lines from island countries, saying that we are buying firecrackers for foreigners to set off."

"What a mess! They didn't calculate the cost!"

"The semiconductor microprocessing chips we import now cost 82 yuan each! When we have a production line, how much will it cost?" The old man stretched out his hand and gestured: "Eight yuan!"

"Yes! The future is the information age." Zhou Zhi admired the old man beyond words at this moment: "No matter what, we can't let anyone jam our necks on integrated circuit chips!"

"Our country has lagged behind in information technology for too long, and we have to catch up in all aspects." The old man laughed, and bumped each other with his two fists in the air: "But I think your idea is very

good."

"While chasing, we don't have to be led by others. At least on the issue of Chinese character encoding, we have every chance to tie with them, or even dominate!"

"We cannot lose the courage to be the first in the world just because we are still learning and catching up!"

"Yes." Zhou Zhi was very excited when he heard it, but his heart suddenly became numb because he thought of a question.

My parents, Principal Zhao, are both easy to deal with, but if the person in front of me wants to switch from liberal arts to science...will he be obedient? Or not?

Thinking of this, I quickly confirmed: "Grandpa, I am a liberal arts student, and I will study in the Chinese Department of Shu University next. However, I will definitely convey the teachings you gave me today to Director Mai and Professor Li."

"Ah? Hahaha..." The old man smiled happily: "Okay! My little one is giving me vaccinations in advance!"

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to laugh awkwardly along with him.

After laughing, the old man said: "We also know you. You have published several liberal arts papers at a young age. It is good that young people can stick to their own ideals and aspirations."

"The fourth generation of professors from the Gu family is the only family in Shu that is rated as an educational family. Under their guidance, you will definitely be able to achieve better results."

"Thank you grandpa, I will study hard."

"Well," the old man said with a smile, "actually, don't worry, I asked you to come here today, not to ask you to change your major."

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to laugh along with him again.

"The first thing is to see what kind of young people can overturn our initial assumptions." The old man looked at Zhou Zhi with a smile: "The second thing is that Chief Hu mentioned something.

Someone must tie the bell."

"Please grandpa give instructions."

"It's not an instruction, it's mainly about that organization." The old man said: "Our country currently has a lot of cooperation with the International Organization for Standardization. At this time, it is not appropriate to actively join that organization."

"If you join as a company, I feel ashamed to say that there are no relevant companies that are relatively good in our country."

"After much thought, it would be best to join as a scholar or enthusiast."
