Tech Hammer

Tim Cook defined the March awards ceremony as the benchmark for the technology Spring Festival Gala, which is quite rigorous. But there is a problem. For Apple, the end of the annual new product launch conference means that its new products will be available for pre-order on the official website and will be launched on the same day or in the near future.

In other words, technology fans all over the world can spend their money immediately in exchange for the products they want.

But the awards ceremony was different.

As we all know, Ning Wei has stated on many public occasions that he will not run a company or interfere with the production of products. He does not have the energy to do this. Specific to Zhang Dingxi, he is Ning Wei's student and the leader of the project team. His main job is to do research...

So this award ceremony made countless people's wallets start to feel restless, but that's all, because these products are just engineering machines in the laboratory, in other words - not for sale.

It is very sad to see something you like and have no money to buy it. However, in today's social environment, as long as there are not too many special high-end products that exceed the public life - such as private jets, private yachts, castles, etc., through personal hard work, you can save for several years. There is still great hope to have money.

But this time is different. For users who are looking forward to switching to new true 3D computer equipment, their own efforts are of no use. What is needed is for qualified manufacturers to work hard quickly and quickly allow Ningxin to produce such true 3D displays.

Of course, for countless high-tech companies, they are indeed willing to work in this direction. From the perspective of the will of these technological capitals, even if there is no demand, they must create demand. Not to mention, this award ceremony has helped them point out the direction of future user needs. The upgrade of future entertainment forms is imminent and no one can ignore this. .

So no matter how busy they were, more than 90% of the business tycoons invited by Ningwei to attend the award ceremony chose to stay.

On the commercial side, we need to reach some consensus with cutting-edge laboratories before we can decide which direction we should work towards in the future.

Not only that, it is said that powerful major theater chains around the world, including Regal, AMC, Odeon \u0026 UCI, etc., sent company executives to China that day to learn about this technology, which is enough to illustrate the sensitivity of capital.

In order to reach a consensus, Zhang Dingxi revealed a very important information at the award ceremony. In the early stage, Ning Wei built the laboratory that produced results almost by himself. In other words, most of the money for setting up the laboratory and purchasing various experimental materials in the early stage was paid by Ningwei personally. According to the understanding of these large companies on the ownership of laboratory patents, the relevant patents listed in the name of the laboratory probably still have to be followed. I'd rather go talk.

For the big guys, this is definitely not a very happy thing. In fact, dealing with Ning Wei has always been frustrating for many people.

This is probably the reason why everyone was saying good things during the interview last night. After being in contact for a long time, everyone has almost understood his character. Ning Wei is a master who doesn’t take softness but doesn’t take hard points, and he is like many of them. Same, no grace at all. The most annoying thing is that this guy has no business logic at all...

For example, according to the logic of businessmen, promoting a cooperation requires contributions from both parties. In terms of technology licensing, one party pays and the other party exchanges technology for money. As long as the price is negotiated, everything will fall into place.

But Ning Wei is different. He will not talk to anyone about how much this technology should cost, because he usually leaves the negotiation of technology licensing to more professional companies, such as Huawei, early on.

He will only give a limited condition. If you accept his condition, you will have the opportunity to seriously discuss technology licensing with those companies. If you don't accept it, there will be no future...

What the hell is this?

The big guys in the technology industry in the west have already defined it long ago. This is what technology bullying is!

The embarrassing point is that the initial rules were formulated by them. It’s not that everyone wants to abide by the rules honestly. It’s just that some technical encryption methods are too cumbersome and emerge in endlessly. I have experienced a turbulence algorithm on hardware equipment including Cisco, Many large network equipment companies, including Ericsson, have cracked down on them, and everyone's moral standards have collectively improved a lot.

Especially what to say about Ning Wei...

His destructive power is well matched to his abilities.

At least so far, although China has a clear direction, in terms of research on intelligent platforms, no one has reached the heights of March so far. This is not very friendly to the development of world technological progress, but if you want to access the system, you must fully accept the standards and rules set by Ningwei.

This is probably the fundamental reason why there has been more confrontation than cooperation in recent years.

It's just that blind confrontation is not feasible now.

During the economic downturn, this level of scientific and technological progress has outweighed the differences. After all, it is the nature of capital to pursue profits.

Even if the company manager doesn't want to deal with Ning Wei, even if he wants to give investors a reason, he still has to make a gesture.

After all, the facts are enough to prove everything.

The awards ceremony was just over this Sunday, and on the second Monday in March, as soon as the stock market opened, Huaxin Precision, which is closely related to Ningxin Manufacturing, went up to the daily limit, and a number of technology stocks on the Chinese stock market were all in the red.

Especially for chip-related sectors, one hour before the opening, the top ten daily limit stocks covered almost the entire production field.

This is enough to show that people are optimistic about Ning Xin, even though there is no news that Ning Xin has officially been put into production.

We must know that if we look at the global stock market, we have not seen such an exciting scene for a long time. If we have to go back in time, the last time the stock market was so proud was a year and a half ago, when Ningshe launched a random algorithm.

It’s just that at that time, many of the good stocks were mainly listed game companies. Game companies that really connected global games with algorithms were booming for a while. Microsoft was able to spend so much money to acquire Blizzard Activision this time, to a large extent. It is also the confidence boosted by the market.

This probably illustrates once again that in the stock market, confidence in the market is the real driving force for growth. With Zhu Yu at the forefront, Pat Gelsinger knew very well that this time, Intel had reached a moment of life and death. This is not an exaggeration, and there is already a reference.

For example, traditional chip processing companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and MediaTek experienced an unprecedented plunge in the Taiwan stock market as soon as the market opened today. Although the market in Taiwan is not large, international capital is the most sensitive to various news. These traditional semiconductor companies that are also listed on the US stock market at the same time in the evening will definitely not perform much better in the market.

What's more critical is whether the ecological model built with Intel CPU as the core can continue, or whether the supporting hardware manufacturers can still follow Intel's lead as before. The suggestions and standards they give, these board and card manufacturers Will you still do it?

This is a very troublesome thing.

Pat Gelsinger knows that once the market proves that only Ningxin can support the reality model at last night's awards ceremony, it means that Intel will immediately enter the second echelon of the world's chip market, from the world's largest A leading semiconductor company has been reduced to a second-rate technology company that can only specialize in the low-end market. This is absolutely intolerable to countless shareholders.

This is often the trouble leading companies face.

When things are going smoothly, the whole world will revolve around him, but once his own technology is surpassed, the end of the world will come. Small companies still have opportunities to transform, but it is too difficult for such leading companies to transform...

Especially those who make hardware.

Software companies can also change their thinking. For example, Microsoft can not only make operating systems, but it is also the world's third largest gaming company after acquiring Blizzard and Activision. But it is difficult for CPU companies to change their thinking. After all, Intel is one of the few leading semiconductor companies in the world that covers everything from chip design to chip manufacturing. The hard assets are too huge, and it’s not just a problem of people. If we change the direction, what about the factories and equipment purchased that cost huge sums of money to build?

As we all know, the construction cost of a dust-free workshop with extremely high purity is extremely expensive, especially for a wafer processing workshop. The construction and maintenance costs alone are not small figures. In addition to high-end equipment such as photolithography machines and etching machines...

Pat Gelsinger sat in his hotel room, afraid to think any more.

Intel faces different situations than big companies like Facebook, Microsoft and even IBM. After all, they all have a basis for cooperation. To put it bluntly, these companies may become customers of Ningxin in the future, even if Windows and Hongmeng systems will definitely start It’s a life-and-death battle in the market, but both sides also need each other in other areas.

Intel's products are purely competitive with Ningxin. He has already seen all the technical parameters of Ning Xin. Currently, it does not pose much of a threat to Intel in the server CPU market. But the problem is that Ning Xin is still using a 60nm manufacturing process. Once the manufacturing process breaks through to 30nm, Next, what the future will be like, Pat Gelsinger simply can’t imagine...

So at this time, Pat Gelsinger is probably the big boss who most hopes to meet and talk with Ning Wei.

However, he knew that there were too many people who wanted to interview Ning Wei, so they had to queue up!

…

For many people in this world, last night was a sleepless night, but Ning Wei slept very deeply, and rarely even got up late. He slept until nine in the morning the next day, got up and wanted to kiss Coco, who was already playing happily in the living room, was looked down upon by Ning Ma.

"Hey, don't hold the child when he smells so heavy. Go take a shower first! He's such an adult, and he drinks so much every day... Yesterday, he hugged Ren Xiaojiang and expressed his heartfelt feelings in front of your father. ...Are you ashamed?"

"That's right, daddy is smelly, daddy is ashamed, and he is not allowed to hold the baby..." Little Coco said in a funny way while holding his nose in his daddy's arms.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Ning Wei put down his two-year-old daughter in embarrassment and returned to the master bedroom dejectedly.

In fact, Ning Wei hasn't had a drink in many years, and he doesn't drink at all at 99% of the meals. After all, Liu Wei is blocking the drink, and no one dares to persuade him to drink. But the situation was different yesterday. The people at the banquet were all his students. How could we not have some drinks at the celebration banquet?

In addition, in order to take care of everyone's taste, Ning Wei ordered late-harvest semi-sweet wine, which is easy to drink and can be used as a drink by accident. It tastes better than beer, but it also has more stamina. As a result, I haven't drank at all for several years. I misjudged my alcohol capacity and accidentally drank too much. Although it was not to the point of being completely drunk, at least it was At the wine table, Ning Wei felt that he was always very sober.

After the celebration banquet was over, a group of his young students called to go to the KTV and yell a few times to relax, but Ning Wei naturally declined. After all, it is an activity for young people. Although he is not very old, his identity is there after all. No matter how much students usually respect and love their teachers, how many students like to go out and play with their tutors?

However, after drinking the wine, Ning Wei felt so hot that he was too lazy to take the car, so he took Liu Weiwei for a walk home.

So after going out, I was aroused by the gentle night breeze in the capital, and my mind was completely in a state of chaos. Fortunately, there was Liu Wei, who was really teetotal and strong, and almost forced Ning Wei to go home. of……

Fortunately, he still has a good wife and mother at home. In the room, classmate Jiang has already arranged a change of clothes for him...

"Um, Chen Shuang, what did I say last night?"

Ning Wei asked while taking off his clothes.

"I didn't say anything."

"My mother said that I held you and expressed my heart to you. What on earth did I say? I really don't remember. You can tell me."

Student Jiang's face turned red instantly...

Well, even though she has been married for many years, Ning Wei still likes to see classmate Jiang when she is shy...

"Don't make trouble, I have to go to work. I made breakfast and heated it in the kitchen. You should quickly take a shower and go to the research center after eating. Many people called you in the morning to rush you."

"..."

…

After taking a shower, Ning Wei immediately felt much more energetic. After being intimate with Ning Ke for a while, he walked out and called Liu Wei, who was chatting with Ning's father in the yard, and the two of them walked towards the research center.

"Well, Brother Liu, did I lose my temper last night?"

Liu Wei was silent, then glanced sideways at Ning Wei and replied, "Actually, your wine is pretty good..."

"Huh? How do you say it?" Ning Wei asked curiously.

"I only hug my wife when I'm drunk." Liu Wei replied.

Ning Wei nodded and asked: "I thought you were seriously complimenting me. After walking halfway last night, I couldn't remember anything. Well, what did I say after I got home? ?”

Liu Wei looked at Ning Wei strangely, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's forget it, drunk talk, you don't want to know..."

Ning Wei glared at Liu Weiyi and insisted: "No, I really want to know now, so tell me quickly!"

Liu Wei turned her head, looked forward, and then began to narrate in an extremely plain tone: "You said that life is too depressing, and you haven't been able to realize your wish to take Jiang classmate out to see the world. You also said that you would realize it within five years. Your goal in life is to take her to the sky."

"You also asked our sister-in-law if she likes the moon. If she likes it, you should buy it for her. You also said that several big shots are idiots. I have forgotten who those big shots are..."

"By the way, also, you said that making chips is very annoying. After you get it done, you don't plan to help anymore. You want to take my sister-in-law to travel around the world, to the solar system, to the Centaur constellation..."

"You also said that these are small things, that is, you were born too late. If you were born in the Song Dynasty, and Pan Jinlian's window stick fell down and hit you on the head, there is no way you would have studied the law of universal gravitation. This has nothing to do with Newton. As for why you don’t raise your head to look at Pan Jinlian, it’s because you only have Classmate Jiang in your heart. Even with Ximen Qing’s temperament, women only love her. As for the rest, they must be dedicated to the goddess of science. …”

"You also said..."

"stop!"

Ning Wei, blushing, stopped Liu Wei and continued to play.

He turned his head and looked Liu Wei up and down suspiciously, and said, "Brother Liu, are you serious? Are you sure these are what I said yesterday? Don't fool me!"

Liu Wei was silent for a moment, and then said: "The people who heard your talk at that time were your parents, classmate Jiang, me, and Academician Tian who also heard part of it. You can ask them for confirmation."

"Director Tian? Director Tian was also at my house last night?" Ning Wei suddenly felt that he could really die. After drinking this wine...

"That's not the case."

Liu Wei continued to describe calmly: "Yesterday when you were talking to our sister-in-law, Director Tian just called me. You must answer the phone and have a good chat with Director Tian about the meaning of life, and then sit in the living room. On the steps, I chatted with Director Tian for about ten minutes, but Director Tian was not allowed to hang up the phone, and he also said that no one could touch you or interrupt you except Jiang."

Hearing this, Ning Wei wanted to explode. He looked at Liu Wei beside him in shock and asked, "I was already drunk and you were still there, why didn't you interrupt me?"

Liu Wei rolled his eyes and said: "Because you said this dialogue is very important and related to the world's technological development route in the next ten years. If I interrupt you, you will be responsible for the consequences... I am timid, so of course I dare not interrupt you. "

Ning Wei was speechless and asked: "I'm so drunk... Do you believe what I say when I'm drunk? Why didn't you just knock me out with a hammer and let me go to sleep peacefully?"

However, Liu Wei still explained seriously: "I definitely don't believe other people's drunken words, but your drunken words... I don't dare to bet..."

"I... forget it, what did I say to Director Tian?"

I would rather feel like crying but have no tears...

"Actually, it's nothing... I'm probably trying to persuade Academician Tian to change his research direction. You said that there is no point in continuing to do theoretical mathematics. It's not too late to change his research direction now. You also said that you have a big project that you want to cooperate with Director Tian. , and you will be the founders of the modern scientific system."

"You also said that Academician Tian is good at everything, but he lives too cautiously and takes other people's opinions too seriously. In learning, you should have the energy to smash everything and start over. By the way, repeat this sentence. I’ve gotten better many times...I don’t know if Academician Tian has been inspired..."

It feels good to recommend this book to everyone. It’s a very good new book. It doesn’t feel like it was written by a newbie. I haven’t seen who’s trumpet is yet...
