Reinventing the Millennium

There was lunch on the same day between G1 and G2 of the finals. Although he only drank a bottle of red wine, Fang Zhuo was in high spirits until the game the next night.

Houston's home court was packed with seats, and free finals T-shirts were distributed, turning the stadium into a sea of ​​red.

Fang Zhuo's face showed a smile from time to time. This time, the CCTV commentator told domestic fans that Boss Fang was very confident in defending his home court.

And Yu Hong, who rushed back from Silicon Valley to watch the game, could tell what was going on at a glance.

If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk.

At first glance, he looked like he was having a good conversation with Liang Mengsong.

Before the game started, Yu Hong asked about the situation.

"At the earliest, by the end of this month, or at the latest, in August, Liang Mengsong will resign from Taiwan Journal."

"I talked to him a lot yesterday."

"Liang Mengsong wanted to reverse the Taiwan Chronicle because the personnel struggle there was too much."

"Cai Lixing, who took over the desk job from Zhang Zhongtong, promoted Luo Weiren, who was poached from Intel, partly because Luo Weiren was his senior at the time and someone he could use."

"I also heard one thing from Liang Mengsong, which almost made me laugh to death."

"Xiao Yu, guess what?"

"Liang Mengsong went on a business trip before, and when he came back, he found that his office had been directly transformed into an office that can accommodate four engineers."

Fang Zhuo almost laughed out loud when he mentioned this detail.

Yu Hong was shocked when she heard this. How could the Taiwanese reporter treat the hero like this?

Fang Zhuo held back his smile and sighed: "Fortunately, Zhang Zhongqi retired, and fortunately Cai Lixing came to power. After talking to Liang Mengsong yesterday, I really want to toast Cai Lixing three glasses of wine!"

Yu Hong nodded slightly: "No wonder Liang Mengsong came to Houston as soon as he was invited by you. For someone as proud and arrogant as him, this is probably a great shame and humiliation."

She made a simple calculation: "In this case, the earliest Liang Mengsong could join the ice core was June 2008. What about before that?"

"Let's stay in the United States for a while. I've already called Mr. Qiu, and he's arriving by plane now." Fang Zhuo muttered, "You can't be idle during this period, but you have to be careful of Taiwanese reporters. "

He paused and said: "There are many skilled people in Taiwan Records, but Liang Mengsong is definitely the one who can shine the most after leaving."

The opening whistle sounded, and the second finals game was about to begin.

Yu Hong finally said: "He has such a bad temper, but you are not angry."

"He is one of the top talents in the world in his field." Fang Zhuo seemed to be sighing, "I can count the top talents on ten fingers. Even if such a talent has a tough temper, as long as he can come, it will be too late to be happy. , how can I not even have this little tolerance for others?”

Yu Hong nodded, knowing that Mr. Fang's capacity to accommodate people was very flexible, and his technical standards were probably among the best in the world.

The first quarter of the game was exciting, but Fang Zhuo was basically in a fugue.

Dr. Liang Mengsong Liang left because he was not respected in Taiwan, so he must keep his word and give him the greatest respect.

No one can guarantee that the next road for Bingxin will be smooth sailing. Sufficient respect is also a way to bind people, so as not to be stolen by Samsung and others again.

With reference to the emphasis on Professor Hu Zhengming and Hu, the basic salary should first be increased to three times that of Tai Ji, and then some time limits should be imposed on options. There should also be clear rewards for breakthroughs in process technology.

Other physical conditions such as housing and cars must be fully met.

In terms of public opinion, there is no need to rush to build Liang Mengsong's image. During the low-key development period of Bingxin, he tried not to attract Taiwanese reporters' attention. The semiconductor industry will definitely encounter competition in the future, and the image at that time was naturally established.

Besides, there is something more troublesome.

Because Professor Hu is an American and has always had a great reputation and achievements at the theoretical level, it is relatively easy to promote the selection of foreign academicians. If it were Liang Mengsong, because he has a household registration in Taiwan, the competition in this area will be fierce.

"Brother Fang, it's a tie, it's so fierce!" Jay Chou next to him suddenly said excitedly.

"Ah, intense, intense." Fang Zhuo responded twice and clapped his hands casually, "Keep working hard, keep working hard."

Jay Chou is immersed in watching the game and can't wait to warm up and play.

Yu Hong glanced at Mr. Fang who was perfunctory and asked, "Will you go to Miami with the team later?"

"Go, the scenery over there is nice. Call Larry and they will talk about their cooperation." Fang Zhuo said the plan and mentioned something serious, "Based on our current conditions, our mobile phones should learn more from Samsung. , we must give full play to and mobilize our advantages.”

According to Dr. Liang Mengsongliang, the most appropriate way for Ice Core to catch up is to put down the mass production sprint of 90nm and start focusing on the research of 65nm process technology.

Dr. Liang has been out of business for two years, but he has continued to operate. With his guidance, this will surely greatly promote the intergenerational development of ice cores.

It is relatively optimistic to estimate that the risk trial production of 65nm will not be completed within this year. It may be possible to reach this level in the first half of next year, which also means that there is hope to pursue regular mass production of 65nm by the end of next year.

By then, considering the combined effect of a series of factors, Bingxin may not be able to accept some orders for Qualcomm mobile phone chips.

Fang Zhuo’s expectation for Yike mobile phones is to make full use of the hardware advancements in the past two years, but he had never thought that part of the progress might fall on Bingxin.

Since this possibility exists, communication and exchanges with Qualcomm have led to more cooperation and exploration.

This is an advantage that can be expected in terms of cost, construction period, and technology.

Looking at the industry, Samsung's model makes full use of its ability to design and manufacture chips at the same time, allowing mobile phones to quickly occupy a place in the market.

This is worth learning from Yi Ke.

After listening to Mr. Fang's simple comparison, Yu Hong thought about it and said: "First make the phone, then let it live well, and finally see how to make it more in line with our expectations."

She continued: "If the Android system can be promoted, and if we decide to cooperate with Qualcomm, we will definitely have a honeymoon period with it, but we must also take advantage of this time to cultivate our own capabilities."

"If you want to learn from Samsung, at least you have to learn one of its chip design capabilities."

This is something that Samsung has but Ice Core does not have.

However, Fang Zhuo has high hopes for the development of Morningstar Semiconductor, which needs to be continuously evaluated and communicated with Morningstar.

The second quarter was still a close game.

During halftime, sports reporters came to interview the Rockets owner.

In the third quarter, the originally rising scores were cut off, and the Rockets entered the fourth quarter with a 5-point disadvantage.

Playing until there were two minutes left in the game, the Rockets not only failed to regain the disadvantage, but were further widened the point difference.

O'Neal burned the remaining fuel in the tank in this game, even shooting free throws at a 70% shooting rate, which completely punished the Rockets' defensive strategy against him in this game.

Seeing that the competition was about to end, Fang Zhuo suddenly said to Yu Hong leisurely: "Yike can cooperate with Morningstar on a secret mobile phone chip project team. If it really yields results, the chip can be named Zhurong. What do you think of this name?"

"Zhu Rong? The one who fought with Gonggong?" Yu Hong asked.

Fang Zhuo nodded and said enthusiastically: "What do you think? Does it sound good?"

Yu Hong frowned and commented: "If it's a chip, it's okay to put it in a mobile phone. If it's a mobile phone, you have to consider consumer acceptance."

When making mobile phones, Yike must strive to cooperate with Google and strive to become the king of mobile phones in the Android camp. It must not only target domestic users.

She had a quarrel with Apple a while ago about the iPhone, and the latter quickly applied for registration. The name must no longer be used.

According to Mr. Fang, this is a failure to seize the body.

"As for mobile phones, they can be divided into series, um, Mars, how about that Mars?" Fang Zhuo was thinking about Samsung's Galaxy and felt that the word was a bit long, so he chose a word that matched Zhu Rong very well, "It's just right. It can be a metaphor for the God of War.”

Yu Hong smiled and said: "Then if it is targeted at female users here, should we call it Venus?"

Venus is derived from Venus, the goddess of love and beauty in Roman mythology.

Fang Zhuo said seriously: "It's not that we can't consider it. It must be thin and light, have excellent camera functions, and have a beautiful appearance."

"We can discuss the naming further, but today's game will make it difficult for the Rockets. Will Yao join the team?" Yu Hong looked helplessly at the players who had stopped attacking in the last ten seconds on the court.

She didn't expect that O'Neal suddenly exploded, scoring 27+17, and penetrated the Rockets' inside line.

"The medical team will make a judgment tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It depends on what they mean." Fang Zhuo said calmly.

Because Yao Ming was injured before, the Rockets set up the nation's first-class medical team at all costs, which accelerated Yao Ming's recovery and made his left leg feel good.

The buzzer sounded at the end of the game, and the Rockets lost G2 of the Finals 88:96 in the second game.

This also means that last year's league champion will have to play three consecutive away games in Miami after losing two consecutive home games. The situation has become extremely dangerous.

The national live broadcast footage also specifically showed the Rockets boss on the sidelines after the game. The CCTV commentary team analyzed the team's situation and then analyzed the opponent's boss's expression, believing that the calm expression contained explosive energy. mood.

Fang Zhuo didn't think much about it when he got up. He just watched the players leave the field, thinking about the recent new situation, and said to Yu Hong with some emotion: "People often don't feel the torrent of the times, but now I feel... The feeling of being part of the tide of the times.”

"Is it because of Dr. Liang?" Yu Hong said with a smile.

"Now that Dr. Liang has entered the ice core, he is the number one in the mainland, and his abilities will inevitably be re-recognized by colleagues around the world soon." Fang Zhuo nodded first, then shook his head, "Not only because of him, but also because of Professor Hu, and because of Mr. Qiu, Because of the factories rising from the ground in Luzhou, because of the progress of mainland semiconductors, because of the brewing cooperation with Google, and because Qualcomm has stepped forward..."

He raised his right hand, clenched it and unclenched it, and said: "Every time comes, heaven and earth all work together."

Yu Hong didn't like the second half of the sentence at this time, so she changed it slightly and continued: "The heroes are still fighting after being transported."

…

The Rockets have lost two games in a row and are likely to end this year's title defense on the road in Miami.

This makes domestic fans and friends very anxious.

CCTV broadcast live this time and took full advantage of the close distance. It interviewed the Rockets' boss Fang before the start of the third game in Miami and asked him to analyze the team's situation.

"Three away games really pose a big challenge to the team."

"O'Neal's outburst in the last game caught us all by surprise."

"However, I have discovered O'Neal's current weakness and gave the coaching staff suggestions to defend him in a targeted way and still send O'Neal to the free throw line without hesitation."

"O'Neal no longer has the absolute ability to catch the ball and break the ball before going around. I also firmly believe that his free throws cannot always be so accurate."

"I believe the team's game is far from over."

"If I can really return to Houston, I will let everyone see the craziest home atmosphere."

Fang Zhuo made a small promise to the camera. If the Rockets want to return to their home court, they must win at least two games in three consecutive away games, which is quite difficult.

The commentators and guests who were also under the camera knew the situation best, and they all felt in their hearts that the team would be very difficult.

However, Fang Zhuo made a final announcement: "This will be the Dayao meeting."

Bah, you didn’t tell me earlier!

The commentators and guests could not help but smile on their faces. This is the best news for the Rockets and domestic fans.

Sure enough, in the third game of the Miami Heat's American Airlines Arena, Yao Ming's appearance gave the Rockets an inside line to match their opponents' strengths.

O'Neal has lost his dominance in the paint. In particular, he is quite weak defensively against the lighter and mid-range Yao Ming.

In the first half, Yao Ming's one-on-one singles gave the team a ten-point lead. However, the Heat changed their approach in the second half, allowing O'Neal to expand the defensive range. The Rockets turned to Carter to attack the inside basket, which achieved very good results.

In the third game, the Rockets, who welcomed back their giant inside line, beat the Heat by 15 points.

On the night when the team finally won the finals, Fang Zhuo met with Google founder Larry Page who flew to Miami to discuss the development progress of the Android system and their willingness to cooperate on mobile phones.

Of course, Google is willing to promote the development of the Android system. Larry's statement in this regard is very happy, but he also made a request for Mr. Fang to pull China Mobile and China Unicom operators to join the open alliance.

This is also a good thing for Fang Zhuo, who promised to promote this aspect as soon as possible.

As for the cooperation between Yike and Google on mobile phones...

Google means that it will design the first Android-based mobile phone and create a masterpiece based on an intelligent system, while Yike will assume the role of OEM.

This is unacceptable to Fang Zhuo.

On the one hand, they don’t trust Google’s design capabilities, and on the other hand, they certainly cannot lose their dominance over mobile phones.

Speaking of a design concept, Larry thinks that a touch screen of more than 3 inches can be used, but the physical keyboard can also be retained to cater to consumer tastes.

It sounds like it is safe to be safe.

But this is not what Fang Zhuo wants, and there must be many similar designs with different concepts.

Finally, he invited the Google founder: "Larry, when the team game is over, you can come to Silicon Valley and see how beautiful our design is. You will be convinced."
