My Age of Investment

The next phase of the development of Hainei.com has been preliminarily completed, and Xia Jingxing returned to the business headquarters of Envision Capital to work.

On this day, he suddenly received a call from Deng Feng.

"Jing Xing, there is an old gentleman who wants to visit you..."

After listening, Xia Jingxing looked surprised, he didn't expect this old gentleman to come to visit him.

Seeing that there was no answer on the phone for a long time, Deng Feng thought that Xia Jingxing didn't want to see him.

So he explained a few more words: "Jing Xing, in my opinion, all kinds of damage caused by the Ark and Hanxin incidents to China's independent technological innovation cannot be entirely pinned on Mr. Li alone.

After leaving Conscience Computer, Mr. Li has been working hard for domestic chips and domestic operating systems. He deeply felt that the gap with international leading technology was widening. In his anxiety, he probably was taken advantage of by someone with a heart. "

Xia Jingxing pondered for a moment, then replied, "Okay! I'll see you then. No matter what you say, the old man always has a good intention."

"Well, I'll bring him to see you right away."

Deng Feng was very happy on the other end of the phone, Xia Jingxing agreed to meet, and he had fulfilled an old friend's request.

More than an hour later, Deng Feng showed up in Xia Jingxing's office with a thin old man wearing a suit and full of silver hair.

"Old Li, this is the "National Hope" you mentioned."

Deng Feng pointed at Xia Jingxing with a smile, and then introduced the old man beside Xia Jingxing—Li Guangnan, an academician of the Academy of Engineering and former chief engineer of Conscience Computer.

"Mr. Li, you are welcome to come and guide the work." Xia Jingxing smiled and held out his hands, showing great respect.

"I don't dare to be a guide, I just hope to contribute to the country's independent innovation of science and technology."

Li Guangnan's posture was very low, and his tone was full of shame.

He has poked a lot of troubles in the past few years. It can be said that he has almost lost all the reputation accumulated in the early years. He is also notorious in the Chinese science and technology circles. He has become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats.

A few days ago, he saw Xia Jingxing bombarding his former partner and today's mortal enemy - Mu Zhixin in newspapers and on the Internet.

I almost jumped up for joy!

Not to gloat, but to finally find like-minded people.

In 1994, because of his plan to independently develop chips, he had a quarrel with Mu Zhixin, and he even filed a lawsuit with Tiexiang.

In the end, he was defeated by Mu Zhixin, who had more experience in fighting, and sadly left Conscience Computer, which had been struggling for ten years, and all the shares were withdrawn.

However, he did not extinguish the flame of his dream because of this, and has been running around for domestic chips and operating systems.

He is willing to be the one who holds the salary for everyone, even if Feng Xue is frozen to death in the end, he will not hesitate.

As long as someone raises the banner of independent innovation, he is willing to bring his own dry food to give people a platform, to endorse for others, and to help build bridges and introduce various resources...

This has almost become an obsession in his heart.

As long as there is hope, he will not let it go, even if his entire reputation is at stake.

Because of this obsession or shortcoming,

He has been used time and time again by counterfeiting chips to defraud scientific research funding, and enclosing real estate in the name of making cores...

This year, Ark Technology built a building in Zhongguancun, and Hanxin was publicly reported by an employee with a conscience.

For a while, public opinion was boiling, and chips became the most questioned technology industry, and even the country reduced policy support.

He rushed to the forefront and was naturally in the center of the whirlpool of public opinion. Coupled with the secret support of his old opponent, he almost became a big liar and a clown.

Under such circumstances, Xia Jingxing was still willing to see him, which filled his heart with gratitude, because it actually represented his recognition for him, and it was also the kind of emotional support he needed most and lacked the most.

Xia Jingxing called Li Guangnan and Deng Feng to sit down, made tea for them, and chatted slowly.

"Mr. Xia, I heard that you acquired a mobile operating system company in the United States? You also invested in Spreadtrum and GigaDevice?"

Li Guangnan put down his teacup and looked at Xia Jingxing with piercing eyes.

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, we are developing mobile phones ourselves. These are supporting industrial chains. Apart from these, Envision Capital has also invested in more than ten companies in the mobile phone industrial chain."

Hearing this, Li Guangnan's originally muddy eyes instantly brightened a lot, and he exclaimed: "It's really a big deal! The layout is so perfect, and it is very hopeful that it will become a world-class technology company."

Xia Jingxing smiled, "Do your best!"

Li Guangnan frowned, "Mr. Xia, forgive me for my shallow words, Envision Capital has strength, and you, the leader, are so young and courageous, so you must not let this era down.

Chips and operating systems are the atomic bombs in peacetime. The Chinese must master them themselves to be at ease and to have the right to speak in the field of science and technology worldwide.

Otherwise, no matter how big your company is, no matter how high your building is, it will be built on other people's foundations, and it will fall down if you push it! "

Xia Jingxing did not directly dislike Li Guangnan's words, on the contrary, he felt that the old man was very prescient.

Overturning the old man's case in the previous life almost started after ZTE was sanctioned.

What the old man said is the truth.

Maybe the old man's abilities are outdated and his vision is limited, but his sense of crisis is worthy of recognition.

More than ten years ago, the old man was engaged in program-controlled switches in Conscience Company, and he also made this department the second largest department after microcomputers.

Later, when the old man left, the program-controlled switch business was cut off by Mu Zhixin, but Huawei started with this business and became a leader in the communications field.

"We have internal considerations for this, and plan development plans from multiple perspectives such as industry, ecology, and national conditions."

Li Guangnan was not very satisfied with Xia Jingxing's answer, and said: "Mr. Xia, I think you should work together in the three fields of mobile phones, operating systems, and chips, and strive to achieve the goal of self-sufficiency.

In this way, even if there are any international changes in the future, your company will not be too passive. "

Xia Jingxing felt that the old man was really persistent. For an ordinary person, being held up like this by the old man might be directly irritated.

However, he knew that the old man was sincere and hoped that China's technological innovation would make great progress.

"We have plans in this regard, and self-sufficiency is also our ultimate goal."

Hearing this sentence, Li Guangnan was finally satisfied, and said with a smile, "Then Mr. Xia, from which angle are you going to start? I am familiar with chips, and I can help match any talents and policies that are needed."

Xia Jingxing knew that Li Guangnan had made another old mistake. As long as he was a chip maker or an operating system maker, this old man would not let him go, and now he started recommending himself.

If I were the owner of a leather bag company, I don't know how happy I would be. With the help of such an enthusiastic and famous old man, it would not be too easy to make some money.

"Whether it is a semiconductor or an operating system, they are all systematic and long-term major projects, and they also need a good and sustainable ecosystem to provide strong support."

Xia Jingxing looked at the enthusiastic old man, smiled and said, "We are already conducting some investigations, and the funds are also being prepared. If there is a need, I will definitely trouble Mr. Li to help, and I hope you will support me a lot when the time comes."

Li Guangnan waved his hand, "No problem, as long as it is a company that is sincere in making chips and operating systems, I will support it for free."

"Well, I specially invite you to be our company's senior consultant to provide some consulting services to our company."

Xia Jingxing looked at Li Guangnan with a smile. The old man was actually quite bitter. He planned to give the old man an honorary title to help the old man realize his dream. At the same time, he used the route of "technical industry and trade" to defeat the conscientious "Maomao".

And in his opinion, the old man still has a sense of family and country.

In the 1980s, Li Guangnan gave up his salary in Canada, which was 70 times that of his country, and chose to return to his poor and white motherland.

Li Guangnan, who was born in 1939, has a deep-rooted pain for "the country is weak and bullied by others". The old man once said: "I will never forget the experience of escaping from disaster when I was young. It made me understand that the country should become rich and strong, so as not to be affected by others." People's bullying."

After becoming the chief engineer of Conscience Company, Li Guangnan led the research and development of two major products, "Han Card" and "Microcomputer", which helped Conscience Company achieve a cumulative sales of 4.7 billion in 1994, successfully listed, and became the largest in China at that time. technology company.

Even the name "Conscience" is named after the conscience-style Hanka (LX-PC).

When Mu Zhixin first took over the Conscience Company, he was defrauded of 140,000 yuan when he invested 200,000 yuan.

If there was no blood transfusion from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Hanka product hadn’t made its first pot of gold, Conscience Company might have died in the 1980s.

In the previous life, many netizens believed that Conscience Company should listen to Li Guangnan's suggestion in the 1990s and fight hard, either to die a heroic death, or to become a true national light.

And even if it dies, it can ignite itself, illuminate the way forward for the latecomers, and leave some valuable chip talents.

Because after 2000, there was a shortage of chip talents in China.

There are also many people who proceed from the reality, various researches, inferences, and analyses, and believe that 100% they will not be able to do Intel. According to Li Guangnan's suggestion, conscience companies will not survive the 1990s.

Xia Jingxing felt that various conjectures were possible, and at the same time regretted that Li Guangnan was born at an untimely time. Even if he was as brave as Don Quixote, he was no match for a windmill who was numb and slow to independent research and development.

"Would you like to hire me as a consultant?"

Li Guangnan was overjoyed at first, then calmed down, and said, "Will it cause negative effects for you? Otherwise, forget it. I don't want this title, but I can still work for you."

To be honest, when the old man saw Xia Jingxing and his Vision Capital, it was like seeing a treasure. He was really worried that his negativity would cast a shadow of failure on the treasure company he had just discovered.

"When I do things, I have never been afraid of what other people will think of me, and I am not afraid of the shadows. I have nothing to worry about, so let's make a decision like this!"

Xia Jingxing said very forcefully without giving the old man a chance to refuse.

"good!"

Li Guangnan was not pretentious, and accepted the job very happily.

At this moment, he felt extremely satisfied in his heart, because he had found a goal to fight for again.

Looking at the old academician who was happy like a child, Xia Jingxing felt that he should have done a right thing.

No matter how the outside world doubts Li Guangnan, it is an indisputable fact that he has advocated and worked for chips and operating systems for 30 years.

Someone once criticized Li Guangnan: If you leave the platform of conscience, you can't do anything. Why don't you rely on your own strength to create chips and operating systems, or you just don't have the ability.

Xia Jingxing felt that this kind of talk was the same as why not eat minced meat. An industry that took decades to shake up by a country, can all the burden be placed on one person?

Li Guangnan himself has no money, and is limited by the environment of the times and his age, it is already difficult to produce some substantive things.

However, it may be the right way for the old man to portray the old man as a pioneer figure who is waving the flag and shouting for independent technological innovation, so as to encourage more talents to devote themselves to chips and serve the country with the industry.

It is not appropriate to arrange for old men to go to the front line to work on technology, or to take care of the overall situation.

Because he has been away from the front line for too long. If it is said that the conscientious company decided to make chips back then, the old man has been working until now, and he has more than ten years of industrial experience.

Due to various considerations, he can only seek senior R\u0026D personnel from major international manufacturers to be the executive layer, because these people who are at the forefront of the battlefield and hear the gunfire can understand the development trend of the industry.

For the old man, he probably doesn't care if he can join the big project of independent innovation as a part of it, witness the fulfillment of his wish, and what position he can hold.

After talking for a while, the old man left happily. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Xia Jingxing: He will investigate the market for Vision Capital, search for talents from all sides, and contribute some of his own strength, etc.

After seeing off Li Guangnan who had regained his passion, Deng Feng, who hadn't spoken much until now, spoke.

"Are you really going to recruit Li Guangnan into the company as a consultant?" Deng Feng asked tentatively, "Deliberately disgusting Mu Zhixin?"

"On the one hand!"

Xia Jingxing did not hide his true thoughts, and told Deng Feng all at once.

He intends to push Li Guangnan to become the company's spokesperson, and at the same time push the old man into the mainstream of the technology industry, and carry the banner of China's independent research and development, so as to divide a clear development route from the conscience department.

In a few years, he doesn't even need to take the initiative to attack the conscience department, as long as they do a good job of independent research and development, in stark contrast to the conscience department, there will be people who will attack the conscience department in the future.

"What else?" Deng Feng continued to ask.

"The old academician has been busy for half his life, no matter whether he has achieved or not, his spirit is worthy of encouragement. It can be regarded as a commendation given to him by an enterprise like ours that is determined to innovate independently."

Deng Feng nodded, he basically knew how to use the old man.

"Then you have to pay attention, you have just taken off the title of "first loser", don't be labeled as "false" and "land enclosure" again."

Xia Jingxing's face was calm. Li Guangnan had indeed done a lot of "ridiculous things" these years, which also caused the old man to suffer countless doubts, accusations, and abuse.

Among them, the worst impact is two things.

First, Chen Jin, a professor at the School of Microelectronics at Jiaotong University in Shanghai, boldly handed over a batch of Motorola chips imported from the United States to migrant workers to polish off the Motorola trademark with sandpaper, and put on the independent label of "Hanxin No. 1". Passed certification tests by experts from the Technical Accreditation Group.

Uh, Li Guangnan is the leader of the technical appraisal team.

After this incident, many people felt that Li Guangnan did not understand chips at all.

Some people also said that Li Guangnan only identified the technical level of the chip, so how can he tell that this is the chip and source code he bought.

Moreover, at that time, many veteran academicians and members of the expert group in the chip industry participated in the appraisal, and concluded that the chip level was very high, which helped my country catch up with the 30-year distance in one fell swoop.

In addition, SMIC has also reached a cooperation with Hanxin, and Zhang Rujing, the industry leader, even said a lot of good things for Hanxin.

Hanxin No. 1 reached a framework cooperation with several domestic home appliance manufacturers, and received orders for 1.5 million pieces from international manufacturers; Hanxin No. 2 collected IP patent licensing fees from international customers; System overall plan.

The Hanxin tricks are played very realistically, making people dazzled.

Later, Hanxin was exposed by its own employees on the Tsinghua BBS forum, and the whole process of how to fake it was announced.

At the end of 2005, the whistleblower sent a report letter to dozens of relevant units, and sent Chen Jin an email titled "Go to God and Repent".

But it was not until January 2006, after the letter of report was widely circulated on the Internet, that the official investigation team was established.

After half a year, Shanghai Jiaotong University finally admitted that Chen Jin's superb demonstration skills had fooled everyone.

Then, Chen Jin was dismissed from various official positions and his funds were recovered.

As for the "legal sanction" expected by the whistleblower, the school's announcement did not show that it actually escaped the sanction.

This incident is the biggest scandal in the history of Chinese chip design, and it has also become a historical unsolved case.

Official experts, school officials, and academicians are all involved, making it impossible to tell the truth from the fake.

Ark Technology is a little more reliable than Hanxin. This company was originally set up by Li Delei, a lifelong professor at York University and a Motorola architect, in Beijing to earn extra money. It was specially used to undertake the chip design business outsourced by him to Motorola and Hitachi.

Later, Hitachi became suspicious of Li Delei's outsourcing actions, and the Beijing company, thousands of miles away, ran out of food and was in danger.

Coincidentally, Li Guangnan, who left the conscientious company, is still obsessed with China's independent innovation chip + operating system.

When he saw the team of Li Delei Capital Company, Li Guangnan's eyes lit up: use embedded CPU+Linux operating system to cut into the field of network computer (NC).

Therefore, Li Guangnan helped attract investment to renew the life of Ark Technology, and then brought in official orders. Beijing City purchased tens of thousands of NC machines, and Zhongbeihai came to help promote NC machines in the west.

All of a sudden, Ark's technology was in the limelight, and the official is also looking forward to it, hoping to achieve important breakthroughs in the field of science and technology.

But soon, two constraints pushed Ark to the brink of bankruptcy.

In units that focus on promoting NC machines, people feel that NC machines are difficult to use, and the constraints of the desktop application ecology are very obvious.

At the same time, the Wintel (Microsoft and Intel) alliance has also been formed on the server side, and it is difficult to advance only one side breakthrough.

For NC machines with such poor user experience, some non-essential units can still tolerate it, but the Public Security Bureau can't.

The Beijing police even asked experts from Tsinghua University to make an appraisal: NC cannot be used.

Later, Ark Technology was forced to engage in real estate.

This incident cost the government tens of millions of subsidy funds.

However, how could such a small amount of money be worth the Wintel alliance.

In short, this incident has also become one of the evidence for Li Guangnan's crimes everywhere.

Also this year, Li Guangnan "pleaded guilty" to the Ministry of Science and Technology in order to ask the country to support the development of the Ark CPU, which is equivalent to admitting that he was wrong.

Xia Jingxing felt that this didn't mean that Li Guangnan's moral level was low, but at most it meant that he didn't have a clear understanding of the market, the industry, and technology. It's always good to try.

Moreover, Li Guangnan didn't make any profit from it. He kept the scientific research subsidy funds in his pocket. Even if he had selfish intentions, he probably wanted to prove to Mu Zhixin that his line was correct.

However, one thing is for sure, Li Guangnan is not suitable to be an executive, or even to give advice.

It may be the best arrangement for him, the company, and the industry to participate in more forums and university speeches, and to pass on the spirit of independent innovation to more people.
