1991 Starting from the core

The secretary who had been responsible for taking notes made another cup of tea for Su Yuanshan.

Returning to his seat, Su Yuanshan saw that the two leaders were obviously deep in thought.

He stopped talking and just looked at the leader while holding the tea cup.

After a long time, the leader looked back at Su Yuanshan and asked seriously: "You mean, the Thucydides Trap is inevitable?"

Su Yuanshan's eyelids twitched. This question was a bit big... It was even beyond what his status should answer.

The leader clearly saw Su Yuanshan's caution and smiled: "What are you afraid of? Just speak freely."

"Okay!" Su Yuanshan thought to himself, that's all he talked about anyway. And I am afraid that in the eyes of senior officials, my "optimism" and "party of the rise of great powers" have long been registered...

So Su Yuanshan slightly improved his views and opinions on the game of later generations and recited it.

To put it bluntly, it means pretending to be cowardly or even admitting to being cowardly while developing strength at the same time.

The more powerful you are, the more you can take the initiative in the game and control the game within a specific range.

Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, so it is a good time to prepare early.

The leader didn't say much after hearing this, he just shook his head slightly and smiled.

Of course, this attitude is not denial.

"I didn't expect you knew so much." The leader smiled and ended the previous topic and joked: "Then I'm a little curious, what do you usually do at work?"

"Back to the leader, if I don't go on business trips or have meetings, my usual work is to design the processor architecture, and then take time to read and revise papers. Sometimes I also go to the laboratory to do experiments..." Su Yuanshan smiled bitterly as he said this. : "My dad thought I was not busy enough and wanted to drag me to take classes in electrical engineering, but I ignored him."

"Hahahaha!" the leader laughed heartily.

After chatting for a while, the leader asked about the time, and Su Yuanshan knew that it should be almost tonight.

But just when he stood up and was about to say goodbye, something suddenly occurred to him.

"Leader, I have something else to tell you..."

"Huh? You say."

"Just now you asked me what I am usually busy with. In fact, I still have another job - looking after children."

Su Yuanshan's words immediately made the leader a little confused.

So Su Yuanshan stood there and told Zhao Yan's story.

When he heard that the child was sent back to the mainland because of his naughty nature, the leader smiled and said, "There are no children who are not naughty."

But when Su Yuanshan talked about Zhao Yan's composition and called him an "independent husband", the leader suddenly realized what Su Yuanshan wanted to express.

After leaving the guest house and approaching the hotel, Wen Xiaoqian told him as soon as he got in the car that Kutaragi Ken called in the evening and said he was ready to come over.

The air conditioner in the car was on full blast. Su Yuanshan took off his coat and said with a smile, "We are an old acquaintance. Just let him come over."

"Yes...but I haven't said anything yet, but he said he would come over the day after tomorrow, and he would wait for you if you were not free." Wen Xiaoqian spread her hands, with a look of helplessness on her face: "I can't help but don't come the day after tomorrow, Yuan Xin wants to Welcome the leader’s inspection…”

Su Yuanshan was startled, then laughed and cursed: "Damn, this guy is really good at rushing... Forget it, I will report to the leader tomorrow, we can't keep people out."

The purpose of the leader this time was to inspect the semiconductor industry across the country. The trip started from Wuxi, then to Shanghai, and then flew to the provincial capital - naturally to inspect Yuanxin, but the provincial capital was also operating, so the leader agreed to also go to the software Take a look at the garden.

To put it in the words of a provincial capital leader: "The software park is right next to Yuanxin. It would be too embarrassing for the leaders to pass by without taking a look."

After inspecting the provincial capital, the leaders will return north to inspect Tianjin, and finally inspect the capital. Wang Dongsheng has received news from the relevant departments, asking him to sort out the LCD panel industry report. If he publishes a whole book like last time, Then he will "wait and see"...

Wang Dongsheng was overjoyed by this "threat" and was working overtime to compile the report.

…

The next day, Su Yuanshan accompanied the leaders to inspect Yuanxin Technology Park, during which they heard about the technological development of flash memory and the current challenges it faces.

When it was learned that Yuanxin was uniting its allies in the United States to fight against the IS alliance composed of Intel and SanDisk, and igniting the war from USB flash drives, mobile phones, digital cameras and other fields to the field of solid state drives, the leader laughed heartily and said that there must be This kind of courage to fight a tough battle.

During this period, although the leader did not go to Yuanzhong Microelectronics, he took a group photo with Jiang Tao and other people from Yuanzhong Microelectronics and gave praise and encouragement.

As for the CPU department, Gao Xiaodi focused on introducing the ten-year plan of the Yuanxin CPU department to the leaders - this is a long architectural journey, the purpose is not only to lead the West in the next generation 64-bit architecture, but also to complete the To tackle the difficulties of multi-core technology, launch dedicated server processors...

In short, there is still a long way to go.

Of course, the leader was a little confused when he heard the specific processor technology, but it did not prevent him from judging Yuanxin's pursuit with his sensitivity and quality as an engineer.

Immediately afterwards, the leader inspected Deyuan.

During the inspection of the wafer fab, Zhang Rujin and Liang Mengsong were mainly accompanied.

During this period, Liang Mengsong mainly explained the progress of the process technology for the leaders, and said that Deyuan's pursuit of the process was carried out at all costs and with a sense of mission.

During the process, the leader also asked about the world-leading copper manufacturing process. This time, Su Yuanshan's senior brother, Chen Jianguo, made the introduction.

Although Chen Jianguo is usually not good at expressing himself, this time he was quite clever and knew what the leader wanted to hear.

So he told his experience when he went to IBM to discuss results and contribution division as a story - from IBM's arrogance at the beginning, to IBM's surprise after the Deyuan team realized a better solution...

Although Chen Jianguo only described it truthfully, it still made the leader laugh.

In the eyes of the people at Yuanxin, IBM is just a down-and-out aristocrat.

But in the leader's memory, IBM is still the blue giant that represents the highest pinnacle in the computer field and is the pride of the lighthouse country.

Therefore, in the eyes of leaders, being able to be mastered by Yuanxin, even in a subtle field, is extremely valuable.

Finally, the leaders inspected the optical laboratory.

Coincidentally, the Arf light source was going to undergo final testing in the past few days, so after doing a lot of preparation work, Yuanxin also engaged in formalism and asked the leader to personally light up this "first light source" in the country. "193nm excimer laser.

As for which one it was... Anyway, it was so many times that Zhao Kaidong couldn't even remember it.

But this time, it does mean that Arf light source technology has been perfected and can be introduced to the market.

After accompanying the leader to Shanghai, Su Yuanshan took the leader's special plane back to the provincial capital.

…

By the mouth of the lake, a group of white cranes took off in the wind and flew into the bamboo forest between the dormitory area and the former optical laboratory.

The big boss and the leaders of the provincial capital were in front, followed closely by Chen Jing, Su Yuanshan, Xi Xiaoding, Duan Yongping, Tian Yaoming and many other big bosses, walking along the lakeside.

When the leader saw this, he smiled: "I have long heard that the environment here is very good. Now I see that it is well-deserved. Even the white crane is here."

"In the past two years, not only the white cranes have come, but also the mandarin ducks." Chen Jing acted as an explainer beside the leader, pointing at the water and laughing: "At that time, I thought someone's duck came running over."

"Haha, you young people..." The leader couldn't help but smile. After looking away, he led everyone into Merlin.

"Leader, here are our two core laboratories, one is the Pandora laboratory in charge of Dr. Xi, and the other is in charge of Dr. Tian Yaoming..." Chen Jing paused: "Bee Laboratory."

"Bees, are they so confusing?" The leader became interested and looked at Tian Yaoming who was following behind him.

Tian Yaoming remained calm despite the lightning: "The leader, I felt a little lazy at that time, so I made up my mind to learn from Bee."

"Well, yes, it has a meaning."

It’s very uncomfortable for a group of people to hold back.

——As everyone knows about Yuanxin, NEWBEE is actually the homophony of “awesome”.

Of course, it is impossible to say this in front of the leader... Fortunately, Chen Jing was clever and directly referred to BEE as bees.

However, as we approached the three-story glass room of NEWBEE Laboratory hidden behind the shade of trees, the English words on the door lintel immediately jumped out to our eyes.

NewBee Laboratory

The leader's English is very good. When he saw the word NewBee, he immediately realized that this word was made up. And if you pronounce it out, I'm afraid it's very slang...

"Well, bees of the new era." The leader put his hands behind his back and looked back at the awkward Yuanxin people with a smile: "I hope you will do what you say."

All the people were shouting: "I will definitely do it, I will definitely do it!"

At this time, Wen Xiaoqian, who was lagging behind, suddenly walked a few steps closer to Su Yuanshan and whispered something.

After hearing this, Su Yuanshan smiled at the leader and said, "Boss, the CEO of Sony has just arrived at the science and technology park."

"He's a guest from afar, so we can't let him wait. Let him come - by the way, he can visit here, right?"

"He is more familiar with this place than you are." Su Yuanshan smiled.

"Haha, then invite him over. The CEO of Sony is also an incredible big boss."

…

Of course, since it "just happened to be the meeting", Kutaragi Ken naturally had to meet with the leader, but his entourage had to be aggrieved and was arranged in the living room of the administrative building.

The leader met Kutaragi Ken in the reception room of the NEWBEE laboratory and asked about the purpose of his visit. When he heard Kutaragi Ken said that his visit was to strengthen the global audio and video copyrights with Yuanxin on Netflix.com and MP3.com After the business cooperation, the leaders expressed encouragement and appreciation, and encouraged Sony, hoping that they could create more and better products.

Of course, the leaders also expressed hope that Sony can further increase its domestic investment and achieve common development and benefits for the people of the two countries.

Afterwards, Kutaragi Ken followed the crowd and inspected several projects with Yuanxin together with the leader. Only then did the leader know that Su Yuanshan said that Kutaragi Ken was more familiar with the science and technology park than him. reason.

The two sides of the relationship have sent teams to each other in multiple fields.

After inspecting the science and technology park, the leaders entered the software park across the street under the arrangement of the provincial capital. Chen Jing and Duan Yongping accompanied Yuanxin throughout the process.

As for the technical staff such as Su Yuanshan and Xi Xiaoding, they did whatever they were supposed to do and each returned to their respective posts.

Su Yuanshan returned to his office with Kutaragi Ken.

"Kutaragi-kun, have tea." Su Yuanshan looked at the other party with a smile - even before they met, he could guess why Kutaragi Ken came.

Obviously, he was impressed by his "great, glorious and correct" judgment of "Titanic".

It has been four weeks since Titanic was released.

Similar to the fate of its previous life, before its release, there were indeed countless professionals who were not very optimistic about this film. Moreover, these professionals are also "worried" about the producers, saying that if 20th Century Fox is stupid, why does Sony Pictures, also a stupid young man, have to come and intervene?

——Not to mention the huge cost of up to 200 million, Netflix.com, an online copyright company jointly created by Sony Pictures and Dingxin Media, also spent a lot of money to buy digital rights.

"My God, that's a 'movie' that often exceeds three hours - how serious is your insomnia that you would choose such a long lullaby?"

"A disaster no less severe than the sinking of the Titanic itself."

“The Stale Myths of Old Hollywood.”

These are the evaluations of it by industry insiders.

You know, as the Hollywood model is gradually taking shape, the plot of a movie script needs to be specific and accurate to the minute! The screenwriter must complete the background explanation, character analysis, and plot conflicts within the specified time period - this kind of assembly line-like operation is a reflection of the accurate grasp of the audience's taste.

In other words, the Hollywood model, it's scientific.

//Come on, the three golden chapters of the online novel are really a younger brother than the Hollywood script.

In addition to production costs, Cameron also proposed publicity expenses of up to 40 million US dollars.

Frankly, even 20th Century Fox was a little cold feet at the time.

Fortunately, Sony Pictures is still not afraid of troubles and bears the publicity expenses.

So much so that when the movie was released to the public, Sony Video's cost for the movie had exceeded that of 20th Century Fox, Cameron's old employer.

Frankly speaking, the reason why Sony Pictures is so supportive is not only that Su Yuanshan was optimistic about the bet, but also the firm attitude of Mr. Akio Morita.

Although Mr. Akio Morita suffered a stroke, his mind was still clear.

He purchased Columbia Pictures at a sky-high price in order to enter the North American film industry. Through his initial sigh with Su Yuanshan, he strengthened his determination and believed that this was a key opportunity for Sony Pictures to achieve glory.

If it fails, the worst it can do is lose some money - anyway, we have lost a lot in the past few years.

But if you miss it, you may never get another chance.

Therefore, Sony Pictures was under tremendous pressure and forced itself to become the "biggest victim".

And the performance after its release is still on track with history.

In the early days of its release, the box office in the first weekend was only 28 million US dollars. Although it was well received by major magazines, it still became a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone.

——Those in the industry still believe in their way of thinking, and believe that fewer and fewer people are willing to watch a three-hour movie.

It is said that Cameron called 20th Century Fox and Sony after the box office came out in the first week, saying that if they wait a little longer, there will be a miracle.

It is no exaggeration to say that during this period, Kutaragi Ken, who was fully promoting this "taken advantage of" investment, really did not sleep well.

Because this is a resolution that he pushed for because he believed in Su Yuanshan's judgment. Once it failed, it meant that all the policies and development directions previously formulated by Sony Pictures would be questioned.

But...the wheel of history has not deviated after all.

Starting from the second week, the North American box office of "Titanic" rebounded, reaching 62 million US dollars, and attracted widespread attention.

In the third week, it continued to climb to 70 million.

Now that the fourth week is over, the North American box office this week is approaching 80 million.

"Titanic" officially began its bloodbath at the global box office.
