"Chips are the shining pearl in the crown of mankind after the industrial revolution. When the fruits of the industrial revolution gradually fall into every aspect of human life, it is the emergence of chips that once again elevates human life to a new level.

From the birth of the first transistor at Bell Labs on December 16, 1947, in 1950, William Thackeray developed the bipolar transistor (r junction transistor), which led to the current standard transistor - electronic chip.

1953: The first commercial device using transistors is put on the market, the hearing aid.

In 1958, American engineer Kilby integrated transistors, resistors and capacitors on a small flat plate, and used welding to interconnect these components with extremely thin wires. There were about 20 integrated on this board.

Components. This miniature solid assembly composed of semiconductor components is named integrated circuit. The emergence of integrated circuits opened the prelude to the information revolution in the twentieth century and announced the advent of the information age.

It can be said that the information age in the late 20th century was all led by the inventions and creations of the Americans. This also gave them an advantage during this period. Giants like the Wintel Alliance were the result of their combination of technology, market, and user habits.

It has become a tight ecological circle.

Therefore, if they want to use a weapon that started later than them and whose technology is still backward to compete with their weapons group that has accumulated decades of experience in the area they have designated, they also have to face Wassenaar

It is simply impossible to win with protocol technology blocking such defensive protection.

But the Internet era is different from the mobile Internet era, because the new field is like a new track, and the time when I think of the starting gun is the same, and when I realize that I am about to set off, they may still be complacent in their former glory.

I can’t get out of my original comfort zone..."

Zhang Lihua discovered that after she agreed to Ning Zimo's invitation, the young man expanded the world she just talked about before her eyes.

origin,

development history,

current environment,

future development.

Ning Zi came here one by one silently, which made her feel that her brain, which was quite flexible before, seemed a bit clumsy in front of the future boss.

As he said, he doesn't value everything in front of him at all, but just stares at a place far away in the future. Many people today have never thought about that place, but this future boss, who is in his 20s, has already seen it.

That's the goal set.

Zhang Lihua could only try her best to keep up with the rhythm.

Fortunately, past technologies have helped her a lot.

The data-based market analysis method she used when working at Hua Wei also allowed her to digest a wide range of information from her future boss in a timely manner.

"In fact, it is not difficult to make a 3G mobile phone. What is difficult is how to build a mobile Internet ecosystem corresponding to the mobile phone in the process of making a 3G mobile phone. Just like making a chip itself is not difficult, but what is difficult is making a commercial chip.

You have to consider cost, usage environment, market and application scenarios, and more importantly, you have to compete directly with Western mainstream chips."

Zhang Lihua listened very carefully, but her transparent eyes told Ning Zimo that she could keep up with his rhythm.

This kind of ability to keep up with the rhythm only appeared to one person in the past.

That is the second-in-command with strong comprehensive abilities - Li Ying.

"In order to form an ecosystem, I have been preparing since 2002, and now I have implemented two parts. First, I established the 'Wandoujia' operating system project team in 2002. The project team is currently in Europe, with qnx Micro

The kernel operating system is used for system research and development. Next, I will gradually complete the acquisition of the qnx operating system.

Second, in February this year, I submitted an acquisition offer to ARM in the UK. From February to May, the acquisition will be gradually completed. In addition, Cameron McKinnon Law Firm will be responsible for obtaining the review materials.

.”

Ning Zimo shrugged, and smiled slightly in Zhang Lihua's surprised eyes, "In terms of operating system and CPU framework, in addition to qnx and arm, I have alternatives. Although I hope that the alternatives will not be used, but with Western

When dealing with countries, they need to face barriers such as the technical blockade of the Wassenaar Agreement. It is absolutely right to be more prepared."

Zhang Lihua felt as if her jaw was dislocated. Now she finally knew clearly what her future boss's plans were.

It is indeed not just targeting the 3G mobile phone field, but developing towards a deeper mobile Internet ecosystem.

"The goal of Damo Academy has to go through a long and boring road, but I also know that the longer the goal, the more key nodes are needed to achieve it. In the upcoming 3G and future 4G networks, mobile phones are just one of them.

In one part, there will be other devices and ecosystems as the development of mobile networks extends."

In the previous year of 2018, the "Flower Planting Manufacturing Internet of Things Market Forecast 2016-2020" report released by IDC showed that by 2020, there will be more than 50 billion terminals and devices connected to the Internet, and more than 50% of the data in the future will need to be stored at the edge of the network.

Analysis, processing and storage.

The Cisco Global Cloud Index of the same year estimated that by 2019, 45% of the data generated by the Internet of Things will be stored, processed, and analyzed at the edge of the network, and the total data traffic of global data centers is expected to reach 10.4zb. Extrapolating to 2020

By the year, the number of wireless devices connected to the network will reach 50 billion, and massive edge devices are constantly generating data and consuming computing power.

In all of this, except Ning Zimo, no one knows what the future trend will be. Therefore, the development of chips, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and a series of long-term strategies are all in Ning Zimo's plan.

cpu, gpu, soc, npu, and aiot chips are all blue ocean areas that must be explored. Even if the PC era cannot catch up with the wintel alliance, in the future mobile Internet, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. By making arrangements now as early as possible

, will allow future victories in other fields to appear as soon as possible.

At that time, chasing Premier League meters will really gain attention.

"But Mr. Ning, Hua Wei has invested 1 billion yuan to complete the 3G mobile phone, but combined with the previous investment, the actual total is 3 billion yuan. Therefore, if Damo Academy wants to gradually expand in the field you mentioned, I'm afraid

It requires at least ten times the investment to cover it.”

Although the future is bright,

Although the road ahead is clear,

Although this man is very rich,

Although the attitude is very firm.

But Zhang Lihua decided to give her future boss a shot. Although she already understood the meaning of ecology quite clearly from her future boss, it was precisely because she knew his expectations and precisely because she understood Hua Wei's investment that she had to

Get into character and give this future boss a heads up.

"Of course I know this, just like I know very well that chips can be completed without digging sand, burning sand, cutting wafers, drawing drawings and engraving circuits. I know very well how difficult this routine will be, and I am also very clear about this journey.

It takes a lot of money.”

Ning Zimo had done some calculations himself before. Putting aside the income from the sale of Skype, the overall profit of Emperor Penguin in 2004 was only over 200 million U.S. dollars. Of this, Skype earned 150 million U.S. dollars before the sale.

Treasure Digging Trader earned 50 million US dollars before the Lunar New Year in 2003.

As for the 5.6 billion US dollars after the sale of Skype, even if the low tax rate in Luxembourg helped some, no matter how to avoid taxes, at least 1 billion must be handed over. The remaining 900 million went to Blizzard's acquisition

, arm needs nearly 1 billion US dollars, and qnx needs to prepare 500 million US dollars regardless of whether it can be negotiated.

There is also a sum of 1.5 billion that has been estimated to go, and there is not much money left in his hands!

Based on this calculation, only about 800 million are left for use.

What Zhang Lihua mentioned is not an exaggeration.

10 times 3 billion is 3.6 billion US dollars.

In the initial stage of the idea of ​​Bodhidharma Academy, such a budget was not exaggerated, but rather conservative.

but,

These are all,

Not a problem!

Ning Zi smiled silently and said, "It's because I know what I want to do that I work hard to find ways to make money. Perhaps in the eyes of others, my involvement in the gaming field is not related to my original major. But in the past five years, these

People will gradually understand. Regardless of the games or trades I am involved in, they will be our largest source of early funds."

Facing Zhang Lihua's doubts, Ning Zimo curled up his lips and said, "In four years, you will see that the games and trade that I strongly promote will continue to infuse blood into my other two major industries. In four years, you will see that the two major industries

The Internet, one of the most affected industries, will be listed on the market.

Therefore, whether it is now or in the near future, you will find that Damo Academy and the Internet industry will have sufficient development funds. And for a period of time after my Internet industry is listed, only Damo Academy will continue to dormant for a period of time.

But after the 4G network finally arrives, Dharma Academy will usher in its own stage."

Looking at Zhang Lihua who was looking at him intently, Ning Zimo even clearly felt the fire bursting out of her heart.

He smiled faintly and said, "Whether it's 3 years or 5 years. Bodhidharma Academy is prepared to 'bury your head for ten years and meet the enemy again.' Just use your background in science and engineering and have a certain sense of the market."

Eyes, to find relevant talents for Bodhidharma Academy.

This road is long and difficult, but from the very beginning when I saw your profile, I knew that you are a person who can settle down and work hard for your goals in 10 years!"
