Rebirth of the Wild Age

Academician Ni is very thin and unattractive, but he is extraordinarily energetic. He was wearing an ordinary shirt, not a famous brand, and it couldn't be patched. Anyway, he looked like an ordinary college teacher.

Ma Xiaoyun hurriedly stood up and shook hands: "Hello, Academician Ni, I am Ma Xiaoyun who was in touch with you on the phone. I am currently the general manager of the Information Department of the EDI Center under the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. This is Song Weiyang, the chairman of Xifeng Company. You have been admired for a long time, so I want to come and pay my respects."

"I'm sorry to meet you," Academician Ni smiled and shook hands. "Boss Song is one of the leading figures in the domestic beverage industry. He has defeated Coca-Cola and Pepsi. I have known him from newspapers for a long time."

Song Weiyang said: "Academician Ni can just call me Xiao Song. In the beverage industry, Xifeng will continue to work hard. At present, it has only surpassed Pepsi in the domestic market. Our next goal is to beat Coca-Cola!"

"Young people have ambition!" Academician Ni praised, and then said to Ma Xiaoyun, "I also know Xiao Ma. Last year, I helped found People's Daily Online, and I am also a loyal netizen of People's Daily Online."

"I am very honored." Ma Xiaoyun said.

Song Weiyang called the waiter over, asked Academician Ni to order, and then ordered two more meat dishes himself.

Before the dishes were served, Academician Ni asked Ma Xiaoyun: "You mentioned the edi center just now, what kind of institution is this? Is it also related to the Internet?"

Ma Xiaoyun explained: "edi is a way of using computers for business processing. It can use an internationally recognized standard model to form structured transaction processing data for trade, transportation, insurance, banking, customs and other industries. Data exchange processing through the Internet. This project was initiated by the United Nations, and governments of all countries are promoting it. In the future, international transactions can be carried out online, and even customs duties can be settled online. In China, I am fully responsible for the technology .”

"This project is very good," Academician Ni praised, "Science and technology can change the way of life of human beings, as well as the way of international trade. If the project is successful, Xiao Ma, you will be the hero of the country."

Ma Xiaoyun said modestly: "I don't dare to be a hero. I am only in charge of technology, and it all depends on the advancement of leaders at all levels."

Academician Ni chatted with Ma Xiaoyun about the Internet for several minutes, and he naturally talked about computers. He said: "Chinese people must have their own computer operating system, otherwise they will be stuck, and they will rely on others for everything in the future."

"That's true." Ma Xiaoyun echoed.

Song Weiyang suddenly said: "Academician Ni, I have started a technology company and am planning to manufacture and sell computers."

"Competing with Lenovo?" Academician Ni asked with a smile.

"I have this idea," Song Weiyang said. "After all, Lenovo is the largest computer manufacturer in China, and competition is inevitable. But my goal is not to beat Lenovo, but to make a real domestic computer, at least a large part of the hardware must be localized. "

"For localization of computers, chips must be localized!" Academician Ni said.

"It's hard." Song Weiyang said.

"It is difficult," said Academician Ni, "but we must take the first step."

Song Weiyang shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that making chips is difficult, but that even if the chips are made, subsequent commercialization will be difficult. A chip that cannot be commercialized is a waste chip, worthless."

Academician Ni put away his smile and asked, "You also support the 'Trade, Industry and Technology' set?"

Song Weiyang said: "There is nothing wrong with 'trade, industry and technology', and there is no essential difference from 'technology, industry and trade.' The existence of ". Huawei does not distinguish between "technology, industry and trade" and "trade, industry and technology". Just to be able to survive. What course can you define for Huawei?"

Academician Ni asked: "Does Huawei also make computers? I have never heard of this company."

Song Weiyang was sweating like crazy, he could only blame Huawei for being too low-key!

Not only Academician Ni, but many people have never heard of Huawei. When Stone Vice President Li Yuzhuo quit last year, President Duan Yongji asked: "Where are you going?" Li Yuzhuo said: "Huawei." Duan Yongji was surprised: "Huawei? I haven't heard of it. This company is not well-known, right? "

Song Weiyang explained: "Huawei is in the business of communication equipment, and last year's turnover was several billion yuan. Just two months ago, the boss of Huawei took the initiative to reduce his shareholding to 1%. Employees' equity has increased to 70%. At the same time, Mr. Ren has set the rules in the company's internal documents that more than 10% of Huawei's annual profits must be used to invest in technology research and development."

"This company has a bright future!" Academician Ni exclaimed, "If there is a chance, I will definitely communicate with that President Ren."

Song Weiyang said: "Huawei uses trade to provide funds for technology, and uses technology to accumulate strength for trade. Can you say it is 'Technology Trade' or 'Trade Industry Technology'? It is hard to tell! If you want to distinguish the difference, that is Going up and going online, from a difference of ideas to a factional struggle."

Academician Ni was silent, and it took a long time before he said: "It is true. But someone has gone too far, and he must be put on the brakes."

"Let's talk about the chip again." Song Weiyang asked after doing a lot of homework in advance, "If China independently develops the chip, can you bypass the technical patent? The patent of the x86 system has almost been registered by Intel."

Academician Ni said: "So I want to bypass the x86 system and make embedded chips."

Song Weiyang added: "Well, let's say that China can make embedded chips, but who will sell them to? Buyers must develop product prototypes based on your chips. Is there such a company in China? No! So make them. No one bought it, because it was useless and could only be thrown into the garbage dump.”

This is something Academician Ni has never considered. He only cares about technology, regardless of business and market.

Academician Ni was stunned for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will make a chip first, and then make a public board around this chip! Now there must be companies willing to cooperate?"

Song Weiyang smiled and said: "Okay, I believe that Academician Ni can make both chips and public boards, but who is willing to buy them? Intel has a Microsoft system as a supporting package. Could it be that in order to buy your chips and public boards, you let those companies make their own? Developing a computer system? Even if you develop a computer system yourself, as for the software, there is no supporting software! Do you still have to make the software yourself, or ask someone else to make the supporting software?”

Academician Ni was dumbfounded.

Song Weiyang said: "This is an ecosystem, not just chips and public boards. If any businessman finds Academician Ni and swears that he can make chips, public boards and operating systems, then this person must have ulterior motives." You bastard! He has only one motive, which is to cheat the country's policy allocation!"

In history, there has been such a bastard.

This person graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology, and led a professor from Harbin Institute of Technology to start a company to do outsourcing business for Motorola. Later, the company as a whole was merged into Hitachi Group. Hitachi Group's project failed. This person had already saved a R\u0026D team and was eager to find new business, so he set his sights on Academician Ni.

When Academician Ni saw the other party's R\u0026D team, he immediately went crazy with joy. He didn't want any shares, and helped run policies and funds, and ran out of a national 863 project, just to build China's own chips.

Academician Ni didn't know that while he was busy working on the project, this person was busy fighting for power - kicking out the two company veterans and letting his younger brother and sister-in-law each hold 35% of the shares. Academician Ni ran around calling for it all day long, R\u0026D personnel worked hard day and night, supported by a large amount of policy funds from the state, but this person was busy bypassing the state to go public, and secretly went to the Cayman Islands to register a new company, the corporate legal person (Harbin Institute of Technology) The professor) went to work one day and suddenly found that his office was gone.

The funniest thing is that many patriotic companies have voluntarily left the Intel camp and want to use China's own chips. As a result, when they came to talk about cooperation, they were turned away by this person. They only wanted government orders, and they looked down on the small troubles of these companies.

The main person in charge of the chip project is Academician Ni and Liu Qiang. This person also tried to sow discord, saying that Liu Qiang was his niece and son-in-law, which caused Academician Ni to deliberately alienate Liu Qiang for a long time. Later, Liu Qiang was stunned when he heard this, he didn't have such relatives at all!

This person took the country's policy funds and refused to invest in the follow-up research and development of chips. Instead, he worked as a PHS, repaired buildings and engaged in real estate. The country's 863 project was withdrawn as soon as it was said, and this person didn't take the government seriously at all, and it turned into a farce known throughout the country, and he couldn't understand the reason.

For a long time, this guy's nationality is actually Canada...

Academician Ni didn't get a penny from it, worked hard for several years, and finally got into trouble because he ran out of the whole project.

"If you say that, China can't develop its own chips?" Academician Ni asked very depressed.

"It's hard, it needs to be done step by step." Song Weiyang said.

Academician Ni said: "Tell me, what do you think?"

Song Weiyang said: "The company I started is working on PHS, a mobile phone that uses a fixed network. I want to use the money I earn from making mobile phones to support the computer research and development team. We don't rely on the state, we do it ourselves. At the beginning, I didn’t get involved in chips, but I did other research and development first, assembled and sold branded computers, and gradually accumulated strength. I can also make a public board around Intel’s chips, develop a motherboard of my own design, and finally make chips! This time , let’s set it to ten years.”

"Ten years is not a long time to make chips." Academician Ni said.

Song Weiyang said: "My factory is located in Shenghai, but I want to set up a research and development center in Zhongguancun. I invite Academician Ni to be the chief engineer."

Academician Ni didn't immediately refuse: "I'll think about it again."

Song Weiyang said: "In the R\u0026D center here in Zhongguancun, I invested 10 million yuan in advance, and 10% of the company's annual profit will be used for R\u0026D in the future."

"Well," Academician Ni was visibly moved, he said, "Boss Song, I'll give you an answer after Lenovo's matter is resolved."

"No problem, I'll wait for the good news." Song Weiyang smiled.
