Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

While Chief Lu was on the phone with Mr. Ren, Kang Chi also received a call from Minister Yang of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

During the phone call, Minister Yang first highly praised Kangchi's contribution to the development of China's semiconductor industry. However, he gently put down the slightly reckless supercomputing plan, saying that something was wrong, and then immediately dismissed it. The topic shifted to the Xuanyuan system.

"Lao Lu just told me that you agreed to sell Xuanyuan System?"

"Well, actually, the main reason why I proposed this plan is to build the Xuanyuan ecosystem. Since you are interested and willing to build this ecosystem, then I naturally have no objection."

Minister Yang nodded and said: "Our current idea is to buy your system and Pengcheng's servers and use them as a laboratory for the redevelopment and preliminary ecological construction of the Xuanyuan system. Is that okay?"

Kang Chi hesitated for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "But that server is used by us to provide Fuxi software services to Huawei and other domestic chip design companies..."

"Don't worry, after we buy it, this system will be offline immediately. After it is offline, we will complete the development of the commercial version within two months, and then re-launch it on the Pengcheng server. By then We can continue to help you provide this software service, which does not require much computing power anyway, and can also help us test the system stability of the commercial version."

"But over there in Warwick..."

"We will be responsible for negotiating compensation for this."

"Then I'll be fine."

"Well, in terms of price, what's your general intention?"

Kang Chi silently calculated the accounts in his mind. He invested almost 200 million in Pengcheng server.

As for the system, the value can actually be high or low.

For Kangchi, most of its costs are the time to type the code and the proficiency in a few points of analysis.

So the price is really not very good.

Thinking of this, Kang Chi was ready to kick the ball back to test it first, so he said: "This happened so suddenly. To be honest, I never thought about buying Xuanyuan and how much it is worth... Can I tell you about it first? What’s the approximate budget?”

"About eight billion..."

After Kang Chi heard this, he suddenly felt happy.

Is it okay to earn 8 billion directly by typing code for a few days?

In fact, Minister Yang is now representing the soon-to-be-established Xuanyuan Technology to negotiate the price. To put it bluntly, it is a normal business transaction between the two parties. Naturally, the more Kangchi can get, the better.

Therefore, Kang Chi did not agree directly, but pondered for a moment before speaking:

"When David Cutler originally developed Windows NT, he spent about US$150 million. If inflation is included, it is estimated to be equivalent to US$1.5 billion today, which is about 10.5 billion when converted into RMB."

"But this is just the cost for others. If it is sold as a product, the basic profit should be paid, right? Although the driver and ecology of our system are much worse than Windows NT, the kernel is much more perfect than theirs, so I think selling it Twenty billion is absolutely no problem.”

"Twenty billion!?"

Minister Yang's brows jumped immediately after hearing this.

In fact, before negotiating the price, the military had already given 10 billion to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and they would make up for the shortfall.

But with this budget, it is of course better to save some money, so he asked for a budget of 8 billion, but actually reserved 2 billion to give Kang Chi room to bargain.

The purpose, of course, was to prostitute the military for free, and they couldn't figure it out.

Who knew that Kang Chi would immediately ask for 20 billion after an analysis.

Minister Yang couldn't help but secretly call him an expert.

So next, the two parties engaged in another price push, and finally the price was negotiated at 18 billion, with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology advancing 8 billion.

"If there is no problem, we will seize the time today to take the Pengcheng server offline, and then hand over the source code to the military."

Kang Chi quickly smiled and nodded: "Well, no problem!"

Although it took a lot of words, the words are worth a thousand dollars.

That’s an extra 10 billion!

Kang Chi finally saw what it means to be wealthy.

But think about it, the military + industrial information department, if they don’t have money, who will have money?

I just don’t know whether they will divide the 18 billion equally or how...

Speaking of which, this seems to have once again verified what Kang Chi said to Cai Yaobin before.

Civilian technology and military technology have never been two completely unrelated fields. They may switch roles at any time under unexpected circumstances.

After ending the call, Kang Chi quickly explained the matter and then returned home.

His parents ran back to their hometown last month because they were homesick and hated the idea of ​​having a grandson.

Kang Chi sat alone in the courtyard, quietly looking at the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind.

To be honest, what happened this time changed his perspective quite a bit.

In the past, he always thought that competing with local Chinese companies would hit them and cause people to lose their jobs.

But this incident suddenly made him realize that his worries were somewhat unfounded.

As for the country, they are not afraid of commercial struggles at all. The more fierce the competition, the more they are happy to see it, so as to activate the commercial potential and R\u0026D and manufacturing capabilities of each enterprise.

What Kang Chi has been doing is in relatively blank areas in China, because he always subconsciously avoids areas where domestic companies are already involved, thinking that it is to protect Chinese companies.

This also results in that the companies under Kangchi are more or less monopolistic.

Camera lenses, silicon wafer manufacturing equipment, photolithography machines, cmos chips, oil bugs, and Dragon City flying generals...

Apart from him, there is basically no other company in China that can make everything here.

Although they are not a global monopoly, at least in China, they have certain monopoly attributes.

But now, he realizes that even if there are already domestic companies doing things, he can still do it. Even if it will cause some companies to go bankrupt, it is a good thing from the perspective of improving the country's comprehensive strength.

After understanding this, Kang Chi suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Since competition is encouraged, there are more things he can do and want to do.

And he also wanted to understand that if this company fell, it must be knocked down by another company. Since he can defeat his opponent, he must be stronger than the opponent under normal circumstances. If every industry and industry is constantly updating If you eliminate people and keep getting stronger, your overall strength will go up, right?

As long as the overall economic size is growing, society is creating new jobs, and there is no need to consider the unemployment rate at all.

Even if everyone in the factory is eliminated by machines in the future, new jobs will inevitably appear in society to give people something to do. Otherwise, if machines have created so much value and products, who will use them?

It has to be a human being.

If that's the case, then go ahead and do it!
