Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

/*My comment: This is a big chapter of more than 4,000 words, which condenses DJI and Maker Lab. I remember that many people have written about DJI, and I don’t think it is necessary to write it into two chapters, so I will explain it in detail.

Talk about the logic of makers.

In fact, things like business must be based on profit. But when it comes to cross-border business and innovative investments, sometimes we can’t just look at immediate profits. This chapter is just some of my understanding and expectations for the Internet industry and makers.

Bar.

Although some people are currently doing it, they are not doing enough.*/

Ning Zimo stayed in Magic City for eight days and implemented many things. But he felt that the most important thing was to become a member of the two-time ACM championship team of Magic City.

Lin Chenxi and the other two ACM world champions in 2002 will enter ACS China. There, they will renew their relationship with Dr. Wang Jian and continue to work in the field of cloud computing.

Dai Wenyuan and Yang Bohai have decided to sign up for the "Emperor Penguin Maker Competition". The two arrogant guys originally loved Baidu, but because Ning Zimo showed the strong strength of Emperor Penguin in front of them, they

I made up my mind to make some achievements in the "Emperor Penguin Maker Competition".

But no matter what, the future destinations of these two people have been decided.

Bing China is very demanding on talents. Going to Bing can give full play to their greatest advantages. Therefore, they can't escape Ning Zimo's Wuzhishan.

After observing the implementation of the "Emperor Penguin Maker Competition" in Central China for a few days, Ning Zimo also had an exchange with Wang Tao, a fellow Xie Yuxin who came to Shanghai specially.

Since then, plans have been implemented including those for DJI in the future.

At the hotel terrace bar on Sunday, Ning Zimo finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief after completing a lot of things.

So he simply leaned against the fence on the balcony and started chatting with the two iron triangles from his previous life just like he did on the last day of his previous life.

…

"2004 is about to pass like this... It feels like... since I entered college, time seems to be getting faster and faster. The feeling that every day was long when I was a child no longer exists..."

"Hehehe... have you ever felt that time flies by so fast? It seems that college life is very serious."

"Of course...not only does time fly by fast, but each of us changes much faster than when we were children..."

"That's probably because there are too many things to do, so that every day is very fulfilling, right?" Lin Changxin leaned on the rooftop and looked up at the sky. After finishing speaking, he looked at Luffy and said, "How is college life?"

puff……

"Hey, what are you doing? You almost sprayed on my face. Did you do it on purpose?!"

Ning Zimo, who lowered his head to avoid it, quickly waved his hand to Luffy, and after coughing several times to catch his breath, he raised his head. Lin Changxin, who looked curious on the side, and Luffy looked at him fiercely, obviously concerned about

His protruding spurt was unclear.

Ning Zimo was also helpless. Lin Changxin's unwarranted intrusion diverted the topic. But he didn't know what he was like. It really made him unable to laugh. However, Lin Changxin's serious appearance made him unable to laugh.

It only took a few sounds to stop.

Speaking of which, the iron triangle in his previous life has undergone tremendous changes in his established life trajectory since he picked it up on the train in this life.

Originally, he only entered the ranks of programmers in 2005 in his previous life, but in this life, because he entered the industry early and was cultivated with good comprehensive abilities under the Emperor Penguin system, he is already a unique presence in Luban Technology.

This time he appeared in Shanghai. In addition to continuing to be responsible for his daily projects at Luban Technology, he was also one of the game leaders sent by Luban Technology to East China to participate in the "Emperor Penguin Maker Competition".

Of course, Lin Changxin's growth is also related to his personal efforts. Because he has always felt that he was the one who entered the industry late, and he also works very hard on weekdays. Therefore, he has reached such a height now.

Ning Zimo sighed with emotion, but he still had to find an excuse to explain the accident just now.

He could only shrug, "I didn't mean to do it, I just almost choked."

After a pause, Ning Zi Ou Mei looked at Luffy and asked, "How is it? Today is your last year of college, and you also won the acm-icpc (International College Student Programming Competition) world championship as you wished. Going forward,

Any plans?"

"Plan..." Slowly turning his head, Luffy's eyes sparkled with a complicated look.

After a long while, he murmured, "I'm actually considering not starting to work directly in the software field after graduating from my senior year."

Ning Zimo looked at his serious but troubled look and raised his chin at him casually, "That's your own business. You can arrange it however you want. I'm not your father."

Ning Zimo acted recklessly, which made Luffy's complicated mood feel better.

After looking at Ning Zimo for a while, Luffy said firmly, "Seeing your company develop so rapidly in the past few years, my vision and goals have also changed. Although you told me before that programming is about learning to solve problems.

This method made me very interested in software. But now slowly, I am more and more interested in the hardware industry."

Looking into Ning Zimo's eyes, Luffy continued in a deep voice, "Your Internet business has grown bigger and bigger over the years, and I have also been exposed to deeper things in various software industries. But the more this happens, the more I feel that you are there

If the software industry continues to develop like this, it seems that it will bring a different force to our country.

But when I turned around, I discovered that our country’s hardware development has always been lagging behind. Especially when I came into contact with more and more people in the world, both horizontal and vertical comparisons made me realize that we are still far behind developed countries.

...So...I have actually been studying hardware in the past two years, and I want to devote myself to the field of electronic science and materials in the future..."

Luffy looked at Ning Zimo and said firmly, "After I finish my studies in the future, I want to build our country's own chip."

"Hey, the country that speaks out, the country that keeps its mouth shut, you're not saying it lightly. It seems that you spend a lot of time in various technical forums, so that you have such a high sense of crisis?" Ning Zimo laughed.

But after just two words, Ning Zimo stopped laughing and said, "After our Emperor Penguin subsidiary Quaternary won ARM last year, we will make some long-term investments in the field of microelectronics and chips in the future.

After the official launch of our Emperor Penguin Cambrian Era Industrial Park in 2006, Quaternary will be among the first batch of enterprises to settle down. In subjects such as physics, mathematics, computer science, electronics and microelectronics, it is bound to introduce and

Cultivate a group of our own scientists."

After a pause, Ning Zimo continued, "Yesterday when you were not here, you didn't hear the information that Wang Tao and I talked about the drone project with. In fact, after the first phase of our Cambrian Building is completed,

, a maker laboratory will be officially established.”

At that time, Wang Tao was not the high-spirited middle-aged man he had been after establishing DJI and successfully breaking through.

In 1980, Wang Tao was only three years older than Ning Zimo, but compared with Ning Zimo, he was naturally much more angry.

Ning Zimo, who has lived through his previous life, clearly knows what kind of company DJI will be in the future, so naturally he will not let go of the giant crocodile that comes to his door.

However, how to attract Wang Tao, who is quite capable in the consumer electronics brand, Ning Zimo just did it casually.

"The Cambrian Maker Lab will be equipped with the most advanced manufacturing equipment currently available in China. At the same time, the Maker Lab will open up the Emperor Penguin supply chain to makers to provide them with all the supporting equipment required for their projects. Let

Their development costs are kept as low as possible, allowing them to focus on their projects instead of worrying about parts supply.”

Ning Zimo paused for a moment, then raised her chin to indicate that she would give up the stage to Lin Changxin.

Because there is a complete development system behind the "Emperor Penguin Maker Competition", the people in charge of China's seven regions must be familiar with this information. Therefore, leaving it to Lin Changxin to convey this information is also an assessment for him.

After years of cooperation, Lin Changxin quickly took over the stage and said, "The Cambrian 'Maker Laboratory' under Emperor Penguin is a comprehensive laboratory that will be officially launched in 2006 after the completion of the first phase of the Cambrian project.

At that time, the Cambrian Maker Industrial Park plan will also be officially launched. In the first phase, 50 maker company quotas will be opened to the outside world, covering various projects in software, hardware, Internet and other fields.

The 'Maker Laboratory' equipped with complete hardware in the Cambrian Maker Industrial Park will serve 50 maker companies and other individuals or companies with needs. Moreover, if the first batch of pilot projects in the Cambrian Innovation and Technology Industrial Park

It is feasible. In the future, our Emperor Penguin will set up innovation and technology industrial parks in at least 4 districts in the other 7 districts in China."

Looking at Luffy who suddenly widened his eyes, Ning Zimo took over the conversation and said calmly, "To put it bluntly, makers are still corporate innovations and follow business logic. What we Emperor Penguins have to do is to support creative companies and let them truly

With our support, creative enterprises have become the first batch of wealthy companies to drive the entire industry.

Therefore, the operating logic of the Maker Lab is similar to that of venture capital. But what is different from venture capital that only invests funds is that in addition to setting up an investment company to hold investment funds, Emperor Penguin will also bring its supply chain

And hardware matching provides reliable supporting support for enterprises that dare to innovate.

Just like when I talked to Wang Tao yesterday about his dream project, the Emperor Penguin Incubation Center will invest 500,000 in upfront capital in exchange for 25% of the shares in his future enterprise. If successful, the Emperor Penguin will continue until it becomes profitable..."

Emperor Penguin is not a charitable enterprise, and Emperor Penguin will not support mediocrity.

As the chief architect of reform and opening up said, a group of people must get rich first and drive the progress of the entire society in order to promote further development in China.

When Ning Zimo defined the logic of the "Maker Lab" for Emperor Penguin, he combined the chief designer's ideas with the profit-seeking ideas of businessmen. Let the companies incubated by the "Maker Lab" become the first batch of

We will start with successful companies to stimulate innovation in the entire Chinese market.

This goal is ambitious, but it must have a down-to-earth goal.

"Maker Lab" is the first batch of pilot projects defined by Ning Zimo.

Looking up at the starry sky at night, Ning Zimo said calmly, "Emperor Penguins are based in China, but they are not just focusing on the domestic market, because Emperor Penguins are not just focusing on the development of the Internet, software, and hardware. Emperor Penguins are targeting the entire global society.

They are all moving towards a more mechanized and intelligent future trend.

If you think about it, although the penetration rate of computers and the Internet is not very high today, as the economy develops better and better, in the future, everyone in the world may have a smart device, and it will be like a smart device.

Like portable small computers, it brings convenience to people. This means that the commanding heights of the future world will never be what we see now.

Therefore, Emperor Penguin has great ambitions. It will first focus on the Internet ecosystem and continue to develop. Although we have lagged behind in the PC and Internet era, we will definitely be able to find our own way in new fields in the future..."

Luffy was dumbfounded as he stared at his own eyes. He never imagined that his vision, which was soaring through the clouds and mist, would still be like Ning Zimo's Five Fingers Mountain after reading it for hundreds of thousands of miles.

But the trust he had accumulated over the years was there, so he didn't feel any reluctance in his heart.

After all, Ning Zimo has changed in his eyes since he was 17 years old.

Every morning at 6:00, the lights in his house turn on, and every night at 12:00, the lights in his house don't go out.

In the past four years, he has run from China to the United States, and then from the United States to Europe. He has traveled more than 20,000 kilometers on the earth, but he has always remained on the road.

Today, he has a net worth of tens of billions of yuan, but he still wears simple clothes, eats the same ordinary food as himself, and the means of transportation when traveling is nothing more than a good-looking business car.

His outfit was completely incomparable with the rich second generation driving luxury cars he saw on campus.

But if he wants to improve his vision and execution ability, what he sees and what he is already doing is only him in his vision.

He is still his childhood friend, but he has risen to another level!

Luffy smacked his mouth, and after a while he murmured, "Then I'm not worried about future achievements. Let's just develop in the direction of hardware?"

"Don't worry, your vision has surpassed many of your peers." Ning Zimo nodded and smiled, "In the future, whether it is the Cambrian Maker Center or the [Quaternary Laboratory] directly under Emperor Penguin. I

I believe that with your current efforts, even if we don’t want you, you will definitely have a place in China’s hardware field in the future.”

"Hey, you set such a high goal for me, aren't you afraid that I will drift off?" Luffy laughed.

"Can you float?" Ning Zimo pouted and said, "Based on what I know about you now, I feel that what I say will neither burden you nor make you float in the air. Because when people around you

When people are good enough, the tension you feel when positioning yourself will not make you unable to identify yourself at all."

"Oh, I was an entrepreneur just now. How can I become a philosopher again?" After a pause, Luffy also looked at the sky.

After a long while, Luffy said, "From last year to this year, the competition for the two ACM Championships allowed me to see where our country is lagging behind and where our country is progressing. Now I feel more and more that you are walking a path."

There is a different path to development, and the goal you are staring at is something that all of us of your age should learn from!"

"Eh..." Ning Zimo raised the corner of his mouth and cast his gaze on Luffy's face, "Can we flatter each other when we are young? How can I retaliate!"

"Get lost!"

Hahahahahaha

Ning Zimo smiled and looked at the sky again.

The shining stars in the night sky looked at him like talking eyes.

The galaxy in the night sky was like an unfolding picture scroll, and a line came to his mind unconsciously.

"I have walked on the silver plains and fished in the rivers of grass. This land knows me. Under our feet are the bones of our martyrs. Don't let them down! Either return in triumph, or turn into scars on the enemy's body.

We will live forever."
