Wang Yongmin is currently a member of China Association for Science and Technology, vice chairman of China Private Science and Technology Industrialists Association and president of Beijing Wangma Computer Company. Yongmin eats in a restaurant. A man went up to him and asked, "Are you Wang Ma?" Wang Yongmin got up and said, "I'm Wang Yongmin." Who knows that the man quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else." I want to find Wang Ma, "Wang Yongmin went abroad for customs inspection. Wang Yongmin handed in the visa. After seeing Wang Yongmin's visa, the customs staff jumped up from their seats and stood at attention to salute Wang Yongmin. Wang Yongmin was taken aback and thought there was something wrong with his visa. The customs officer respectfully said, "Miss Wang, we are learning your five-stroke font." Wang Yongmin, 54, was caught driving nine times by the police in less than a year after returning to China. Seven times, when the traffic police learned that he was Wang Yongmin, the inventor of Wangma, he waved his hand and said, "Miss Wang, you must be careful next time." It was released. Wang Yongmin takes a taxi. The driver asked where to go? "To Wangma Company." The taxi driver said that the boss of Wangma Company was rich. Wang Yongmin: "How do you know he has money?" Driver: "The boss of Wangma Company rides in a Cadillac" Wang Yongmin: "Have you ever seen him ride?" Driver: "I can think of anything." Wang Yongmin: Do you know Wang Yongmin? Driver: "How can a driver know a big boss like him?" Wang Yongmin: "Young man, don't say that. You work, so does Wang Yongmin. I am Wang Yongmin. " The driver suddenly braked, jumped out of the car, held Wang Yongmin's hand with both hands, and tears welled up in his eyes: "I didn't expect a man as big as you to sit on your face. It is a great honor for me to let you sit on my face once. "
Lived in the basement for two years
The five-stroke font was a sensation, and it was evaluated as a great invention "no less than movable type printing" by the four "internal references" of Xinhua News Agency. Wang Yongmin was invited to give a speech at the United Nations. From the perspective of Henan, I hope that "the golden doll will not run out of Henan". But Wang Yongmin thinks that wheat and corn can't be found in Henan, so how can they be popularized? "I am a doer, and what I do must be useful. Through investigation, I know that input method is urgently needed in China. We bought a lot of Japanese keyboards, which is a sin. Moreover, the money has been earned by the Japanese. "
1984, Wang Yongmin came to Beijing with a PC. With the help of Yan, the author of CCDOS, he transplanted the font to the PC. Wang Yongmin lived in Room 7 of the basement of the Central United Front Work Department at Fu You Street 135 for two years. "Very bitter. I can't afford seven dollars a day. " Wang Yongmin's method of popularizing Wu Bi fonts is that each ministry speaks Wu Bi fonts one after another. Although many ministries transplant Wu Bi fonts on their own machines, a large number of personnel need training. "Who please, I will speak; There is food at noon, and there is no food at noon; Talk for three or five days. I will take care of all the expenses, and I don't want a penny. " Every time I go to a unit, I will meet people who say that this input method is good and that input method is good. "They want me to evaluate other input methods. I won't talk about others'. I said I've studied it all. I only said myself. I have no time to talk about others, and I am not interested in talking about others. "In fact, Wang Yongmin's promotion is still being done. He asked Mr. Sheng Mao, the songwriter of the Long March Group, to compose his 98-yard mnemonic lyrics into a song "Better King Code", and asked the Black Duck Choir to sing in the form of pop songs.
When Wang Yongmin was down and out in the basement, DEC paid $200,000 to buy the patent right of Wu Bi font. On March 6th 1987, Wang Yongmin moved from the basement to Yuanwanglou Hotel.
1On July 25th, 989, Wangma Computer Engineering Development Department was established. At that time, it was not allowed to register a company. Prior to this, Wang Yongmin established the Wang Yongmin Chinese Computer Research Institute to manage the Hanka he asked Hong Kong people to develop. A Hanka was sold1more than 700 yuan. "I have done some business since I was a child, setting up stalls and carving stamps. Fifty cents for a stamp, and fifty cents for a haircut in junior high school. I had an idea. Instead of letting people transplant Wu Bi fonts, I might as well transplant them and sell them. "
1998, 54-year-old Wang Yongmin felt that the management company was a little overwhelmed. Although Wangma Company has already produced its own brand of computers, Wang Yongmin thinks that Wangma Company will not make PCs in the future. "I want to hire a partner. I don't care about money first. I don't care about money. I don't want to come back because I owe 6 million outside. I'm going to let the person I hired run the company, and I'm going to put him in charge. I really envy Wang Xuan for having time to devote himself to research. I still have many new inventions. When I came back from America, I applied for 12 patents. For example, when translating highlighters and reading English books, you can read Chinese sounds with an unfamiliar word. Invention is my strong point. Infusion in the hospital, I saw many improvements in the infusion bottle. I have been thinking about inventing something, but I don't want to think about how to manage the company all day. "
Wang Yongmin always turns a deaf ear to all kinds of criticisms. "I clearly know that the ultimate goal of criticism is to make me accomplish nothing. I have considered it thoroughly at this point. If I really take the time to deal with and refute these criticisms, then I just delay my time and lose my temper. Therefore, I don't care, as long as my grades are better than those he hates, he will wither himself. "
For fame and fortune, Wang Yongmin called it fleeting. "Giving you this honor and this title is like doing a good job, and mom gives you a piece of candy to encourage you." If you think you can stop making from now on, there will definitely be no candy next time. May 1st Labor Medal, National Model Worker, National Top Ten Sci-tech Industrialists, Top Ten Beijingers and party member, all of which I learned later. "
Wang Yongmin worships Einstein very much. "When the development of theoretical mechanics is at a loss, Einstein can make the final decision, explain everything and integrate all the original contradictions." Wang Yongmin thinks that his "Three Principles of Shape and Code Design" has relative significance in Chinese character input theory. ?
Wang Yongmin also worshipped Napoleon. "When I was in college, I was able to read the biography of Napoleon from the beginning. I admire Napoleon's personality and his atmosphere. No one dares to destroy a city, but for the victory of the battle, Napoleon dares to shell Toulon at all costs. "
