The End of Technology

Zhang Haifeng remained silent, while Lu Xiaoya smiled happily, but for different reasons.

Although there are differences between men and women, Zhang Haifeng, who has already started doing intelligence work, still has a rough idea of ​​Lu Xiaoya's strength. It wouldn't be a big deal if he actually got into the ring and beat him up, but he immediately felt that this was not an easy matter.

It wasn't true that he was afraid of being beaten by Lu Xiaoya, but Zhang Haifeng sensed a very special kind of confidence in the bet proposed by Ning Zi. It's as if a humanoid robot that can fight can really be built within three years.

To be honest, Zhang Haifeng didn't really believe in this kind of technology.

After all, if the dexterity of a human robot could reach the stage of entering the ring, it would be of great use. Although Zhang Haifeng is not very interested in technology, he is also very aware that the world's most advanced pedestrian robot company can only make the pedestrian robot able to jump twice without falling.

Zhang Haifeng also learned that the algorithm design for human walking and machine walking is extremely complex. It is said that there are no more than fifteen people in the world who can write such an algorithm. But this is understandable, after all, this thing is really difficult to think about.

The ability of human beings to easily control their legs and walk easily is not only a natural talent, but also the result of the coordination of multiple functions.

Even a simple walk requires the brain to keep working, observing road conditions and obstacles, and coordinating the balance of the body at all times to prevent falling.

Therefore, the seemingly simple leg movements of humans are difficult for robots.

The robot needs to be able to analyze and calculate complex road conditions in a very short time, and then adjust its body like humans to ensure that it does not fall. Collecting this information requires cameras, various radars, various supporting sensors, and various algorithms.

You must know that Zhang Haifeng used to be with Li Rongchang.

He still clearly remembers the shock to many people after AlphaGo, developed by Google, defeated the world champion in Go the year before. After all, no one believed in the last century that computers could easily control Go, the most complex chess game invented in human history.

To this end, Li Rongchang specially invited Dong Yuanzhi, China's top artificial intelligence expert at the time, to discuss this issue. Because according to intelligence, the country opposite has never given up on using AI technology for modern weapons research and development.

However, according to what Professor Dong said at the time, AlphaGo may seem very powerful, but in fact it is still a promotion of machine deep learning, and the application of deep learning actually has great limitations.

For example, the application of artificial intelligence is still focused on image recognition and tracking in the direction of computer vision, dialogue systems for natural language processing, and recommendation systems based on big data analysis that Internet companies value most.

These applications also have the same characteristic, that is, they are not afraid of the loss of robustness. In other words, it doesn’t matter if you fail, just let the machine continue training. The reason is also very simple. The current artificial intelligence technology seems to be very popular in the media. It seems that many functions can surpass humans at any time. However, in fact, due to the lack of theoretical support, the entire system cannot even determine the worst performance. If it fails when used, The subsequent scenes with serious consequences are extremely difficult.

Even the application scenarios that have been successfully implemented are just neural networks fitting data. The essential feature is still to find a function to represent the data. The idea of ​​​​computer scientists is still to try to use vectors to represent everything, and there is no logical reasoning in itself. Part of it is far different from the human way of thinking. And it is simply impossible for vectors to represent all information.

In particular, although deep learning is promoted in the media as imitating the learning of the human brain, it is actually the result of matrix operations. At present, the work of most artificial intelligence practitioners is still to collect and screen data to adjust parameters for black boxes, which has also led to the improvement of machine capabilities and even has a certain metaphysical component.

To put it bluntly, Professor Dong’s final conclusion is that the development of artificial intelligence is indeed lively, but it is only lively. Because everyone currently lacks breakthroughs in the basic theory of artificial intelligence, which directly limits the development of artificial intelligence. Because no one can find the right direction even if they try and make mistakes.

Precisely because there is no reliable and mature mathematical theory as a guide, in a sense, everyone's development level of artificial intelligence is actually about the same. Because the current artificial intelligence technology wants to develop to the point of replacing humans in some key applications, everyone is still a million miles away. The distance is so big that it is impossible to use the current level of development to make expectations and prospects for the future. .

In short, after listening to Professor Dong's words, Li Rongchang was relieved a lot, but Zhang Haifeng was a little disappointed.

After all, young people still prefer the romance brought by technological development.

It was thought that machines would soon replace humans in many aspects, and the most glorious era of mankind was about to come. As long as there is electricity, almost all the problems in the world can be solved. However, who knew that real experts would be so pessimistic.

So at this moment Zhang Haifeng fell into deep thought.

With Ning Zi's character, he should be confident if he dares to say such things.

But Zhang Haifeng is not sure. After all, people who are in love will have a certain degree of IQ decline, and their temperament may even change. Although there is no scientific basis for this, this was true for Zhang Haifeng's two roommates during college. For example, a boy who was originally quite pragmatic became a braggart in front of his girlfriend.

So Ning Zi bet Zhang Haifeng into silence for a while. The whole way to the station, he was groping in his mind whether Ning Zi was bragging in front of the girl he liked, or whether he was serious...

By the time the two people in the back row arrived, they were chatting happily.

Of course, the content of the chat was nothing shameful.

Lu Xiaoya asked Ning Zi a strange question out of curiosity, and Ning Zi would give a simple explanation.

The question was something Lu Xiaoya saw on the Internet yesterday. Someone said that the sum of all natural numbers is equal to negative one-twelfth, and a detailed proof process was given. This question aroused curiosity even among girls who don’t care about mathematics. He asked Ning Zi specifically whether this was true.

Then Ning Zi began to popularize the achievements of mathematicians Euler and Riemann in Lu Xiaoya, telling her what divergence, series summation, and analytic continuation are, and under what circumstances the changes in some mathematical formulas are meaningful and why. It makes no sense in this situation...it's like being back in high school class.

For example, the sum of all the natural numbers added together is actually meaningless in mathematics, because the formula in the first step can already be seen that the series is not convergent. It can be understood that Euler has opened a gap with everyone. What a joke, the whole process was forcibly calculated when the premise could not be established.

Just like that, after Ning Zi had almost explained the problem to Lu Xiaoya, the car had already entered the parking area of ​​Beijing West Station.

During this period, Zhang Haifeng turned around and glanced at the two of them several times. In his opinion, Ning Zi was obviously doing useless work, because looking at Lu Xiaoya's confused expression, there was a high probability that she did not understand those complicated mathematical concepts and a bunch of Obscure mathematical symbols.

But what Zhang Haifeng never expected was that after getting off the car, he could still hear a female voice asking very insistently: "Ning Zi, do you think that if you add natural numbers like this, it will only equal infinity? "

This question made Zhang Haifeng sigh in his heart. Is this silly girl really good at exposing her intelligence so unscrupulously? Is mathematics something that ordinary people can dabble in? Just be a fool and have fun. Why bother teaching mathematics if you have nothing to do?

However, what he didn't expect was that after a moment of silence behind him, Ning Zi answered seriously: "It's a good question, but there is no result yet. Sometimes I guess what infinity is? If mathematics is really If there is a one-to-one correspondence with this world, maybe the sum of natural numbers also has specific physical meaning, for example, there will eventually be a specific value, and this value corresponds to the maximum volume when the universe stops expanding."

How should I put it, after listening to these concluding questions and answers, Zhang Haifeng suddenly felt that maybe the two of them were really a good match.

…

Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Haifeng, he was in his favor after all. After Zhang Haifeng showed his ID, the station arranged for a special staff member to lead a few people directly into the platform to pick up people, precisely to the location where the carriage stopped. .

The time was stuck just right. After waiting on the platform for more than three minutes, the train roared towards me.

Because the west side of the capital was the terminal station, Lui Chuan and Wang Yunling were not in a hurry to stand up from their seats. In fact, there was no need to rush in the business class seats. The two people were sitting at the next station. Before the car stopped, Wang Yunling, who had been looking at the scenery outside the window, saw Lu Xiaoya waiting on the platform and the tall boy standing next to Lu Xiaoya. , and immediately shouted: "Lao Lu, look, your daughter is already waiting for you down there."

Lui Chuan, who was looking at his cell phone, raised his eyes and glanced out the window when he heard this, then raised his hand and quickly closed the curtains.

What can I say, he really wasn't ready to meet Ning Zi yet.

Although Lu Xiaoya had already informed them on WeChat today that Ning Zi would also come to greet them, which had already prepared Lui Chuan mentally, but the sight of the real person before the car even stopped made his mood somewhat complicated.

After all, there is only such a daughter in the family. After raising her for nearly twenty years, it is so sudden to see another strange man standing so close to her daughter. It does take some time to adapt and some psychological preparation in advance.

It's like everyone knows that death cannot be escaped, but when death comes, not everyone can face it calmly.

But Wang Yunling obviously didn't have such worries. Not only did she not close the curtains, she also started waving to the pair of lovers outside.

…

"My mom, that's my mom." When the train slowly stopped, Lu Xiaoya also saw her mother waving to her.

There was no way, the business class car arranged by the organization only had two rows of seats, and the windows were so big that it was difficult not to notice.

Ning Zi followed the direction of Lu Xiaoya's finger and saw the woman waving through the car window. She also saw the joy on the woman's face when she saw her daughter. However, at this moment, Ning Zi's heart first rose. There is a trace of loss.

The lack of maternal love in childhood actually had a great impact on him. For example, he often seemed very indifferent in terms of emotions. It was not that he was indifferent, but that this lack made him not quite understand how to express his feelings. .

Fortunately, Ning Xiao, a cousin with a carefree personality, made up for part of the lack of love when Ning Zi was growing up. There was also an uncle who had a clear understanding of the world and would care about her from time to time. After all, Ning Zi was not allowed to grow up. His character has become extremely extreme, but he is still not easy to deal with.

Zhang Haifeng is probably the one who has the most say on this point.

Ning Zi is not easy to deal with and has even reached a consensus at a very high level. He has a strong sense of self-protection and a strong sense of territory. These are all conclusions reached after verification. The attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation is very slippery. When he feels dissatisfied with a certain decision, he really dares to disappear, and does not even consider resolving disputes through dialogue.

Therefore, everyone from top to bottom is happy to see Ning Zi open up her heart and fall in love. Although people cannot be absolutely rational, scientists who have extremely high IQs and are so rational that they are not human beings are actually the most terrifying.

At least in Zhang Haifeng's view, being able to fall in love shows that Ning Zi has emotional needs. If he was in his twenties and didn't even have the need for love, then he really wouldn't dare to say "make friends" in front of Ning Zi.

He was afraid that one day he would be tricked by Ning Zi, so he was still helping him count money.

Therefore, it is actually very gratifying to see traces of emotion in Ning Zi. This gratification comes from peace of mind. On the contrary, Ning Zi, who is bored in his room and laboratory every day, will most likely only make people feel horrible.

With the lessons learned from the past, he may dream every day that this guy has done something big again.

So at this time, Zhang Haifeng, who had been paying attention to Ning Zi, was sensitive to the fluctuations in Ning Zi's mood, but he only felt relaxed, which was good.

…

"Uncle, aunt, I am Ning Zi."

No matter how complicated Louis Chuan's mood was, when he got off the train, he still met his daughter's boyfriend immediately.

Not only did he say something, he could only smile and nodded at Ning Zi as a greeting.

In fact, Lui Chuan himself didn't know what his expression was at this time, but before he felt embarrassed, Wang Yunling had already greeted him warmly: "You are Xiao Ning. You are more handsome in person than in the photo. Hey, Our family Xiaoya is very lucky. By the way, you must be very busy, right? You even came to pick us up specially, Xiaoya is just not sensible..."

"Mom, it's not me..."

"Yes, Auntie, it was actually Mr. Zhang who informed me that this is Zhang Haifeng, the vice president of Qiangdun Group." Ning Zi introduced Zhang Haifeng, who was standing aside, to the two of them.

Speaking of which, Zhang Haifeng will be Lui Chuan's leader from now on.

This time Louis Chuan's job transfer is to work as a coach at Qiangdun Company. But instead of teaching free fighting, he is a physical trainer.

"Hello you two, it's been a hard journey." Zhang Haifeng quickly stepped forward and said politely.

Zhang Haifeng was personally responsible for the job transfers of Lui Chuan and Wang Yunling. The two parties had already chatted on WeChat. Although they met for the first time, they could not be said to be strangers.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, today we have met a real person. We are not working hard. We have to thank Mr. Zhang for his help these days." Wang Yunling said enthusiastically.

Zhang Haifeng glanced at Ning Jie and greeted him more enthusiastically: "Where, where, we are very hungry for talents. I heard in the capital that Coach Lu's professional ability is first-rate, and finally you are Hope it’s coming.”

As he spoke, Zhang Haifeng took the initiative to shake hands with Lui Chuan. Now Lui Chuan couldn't hold himself any longer. He quickly put down his only suitcase and said, "Mr. Zhang is so polite. I'll do my best."

"Okay, don't be polite. Get out of the way first. If you delay, we'll run into a traffic jam. You guys will have nothing to say on the road." Lu Xiaoya urged, ending the awkward greetings at the station logically.

…

On the way back, Zhang Haifeng still sat in his original seat. Lu Xiaoya held his father's arm all the way. When they got in the car, they naturally sat in the middle of the car with Lui Chuan, while Ning Zi and Wang Yunling sat at the back of the car. Row.

Wang Yunling basically kept talking and chatting with Ning Zi along the way, but Zhang Haifeng admired the communication skills of the hostess of the Lu family. Unlike other mothers-in-law, Wang Yunling didn't talk much about Ning Zi's family situation. Most of her focus was on caring about and understanding Ning Zi and Lu Xiaoya's study and life at the University of Physical Education.

It's not too nagging, it's not the kind of relationship that would offend people, especially some of the admonitions that even made Zhang Haifeng shed tears.

"When I see Xiaoya in our family, I know very well what kind of temperament she has. She actually has a lot of advantages and she is also simple. But a lot of the time, she doesn't like to think over her head when doing things or giving opinions. Can you two know each other? It is fate that we are together, and her father and I both support it. But you are a great scientist after all. It is enough to be a little elegant in some innocuous little things in life. When making some decisions that may have a great impact and far-reaching consequences, But you must not let her interfere. She doesn’t know anything about this and will come up with bad ideas. You can’t help her make mistakes. If you are unsure, you should discuss it with an adult. "

Really, when these words fell into Zhang Haifeng's ears, he felt that this period of busyness was worth it.

Of course, Lu Xiaoya would never think so. She turned around and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I always avoid things I don't understand, so I've never had a bad idea."

"I'm not talking to you, so shut up."

Ning Zi also replied seriously: "Well, aunt, don't worry, in fact, Lu Xiaoya has not interfered with any of my decisions. Just like you said, if there is anything big, I will think about it carefully before making a decision. Including Some things before actually only sounded big, but their real impact was not that big.”

Well, Zhang Haifeng, who couldn't speak at this time, could only complain silently in his heart: "As long as the earth keeps spinning, it's not a big deal. The impact is controllable!"

Well, no matter what, Zhang Haifeng felt much better now that someone who understood the truth and had a deep connection with Ning Jie came to the capital in the future.

…

At the same time, the lights were still on in the medium-sized conference room provided by the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley in East Palo Alto, California, and the conference room was extremely lively. More than a dozen well-dressed people were still arguing or stealing in the conference room. Whisper.

You must know that it is already three o'clock in the morning in Silicon Valley, and the people participating in the meeting are all the big guys who control the world's technology industry, and most of them represent large companies that are well-known around the world.

For example, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, NVIDIA founder and CEO Huang Wenhuang, Google's Sundar Pichai, AMD's Su Xuzi, Siemens President Charlie Macaulay, etc., Qualcomm Chairman Paul Ya Jacob, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella...

Of course, there are also some company leaders who are not well-known among consumers but are top-notch names in the industry, such as Synopsys President and Chief Operating Officer Sassian Gage, Cadence Electronics Noel Birney, Luo Shi Kumura, CEO of Mu Semiconductor...

In addition, there were also current Samsung Chairman Li Zhaoming and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Chairman Liu Zhengpeng who attended the meeting via video in the conference room...

It is no exaggeration to say that these companies almost represent the most advanced productivity in the world's semiconductor and Internet industries.

Under normal circumstances, these people would not just gather together like this.

It's just that this time everyone feels the pressure, the pressure brought by China.

Whether it is the sudden outbreak of turbulence algorithm problems or the blow to virtual currencies, these companies have realized that the patent moats they had built before were suddenly no longer safe. Especially after Ning Zi announced with great fanfare that Apple had built Asia's most advanced chip R\u0026D center for the University, many of them felt even more worried.

It must be admitted that China is a large emerging market for these companies. The rising purchasing power of residents and the increasing number of Internet users have improved the performance of most companies present to varying degrees. In fact, for the vast majority of companies participating in this meeting today, China has become an indispensable market for them.

But here's the problem. After Ning Zi's university showed its strong R\u0026D capabilities, these people began to fear what impact it would have on the entire industry chain when Ning Zi began to preside over chip research.

In fact, from the perspective of these technology companies, they really don't mind that Chinese companies can make money, or even that Chinese companies can make a lot of money. As long as it doesn't involve ruining their jobs and they pay patent fees honestly, everything is fine. It's negotiable.

After all, they have more than fifty years of technology accumulation, and then built a towering moat through patent protection. These are the results of continuous high investment in R\u0026D. These moats also allow them to continue to stand on top of the world, deciding and even looking down. The direction of this world's development.

But what's happening now makes everyone wary. A modern chip R\u0026D center can never be aimless. And according to the information they received, this R\u0026D center even includes all stages of universal chip research, which is very embarrassing.

Really, if it was before the turbulence algorithm was exposed, they would probably unite to put pressure on Apple. It would be impossible to let some sensitive equipment be exported to China, but now it is obviously too late. This R\u0026D center has been completed.

The most frightening thing is that everyone cannot make an accurate judgment on the R\u0026D strength of Yanbei Sports University.

Generally speaking, China's chip R\u0026D level and industrialization level are still quite backward. Even if it has such an R\u0026D center, it will be difficult to say that it will be able to produce the world's most advanced general-purpose chips in less than ten years or even longer. The entire semiconductor industry chain has had a huge impact on the technical level.

But similarly, no one believed that an algorithm would appear in a short time that would make the Internet immune to DDOS attacks, and no one believed that someone could crack blockchain technology in a short time. You must know that in the research of scientists, blockchain encryption technology is almost impossible to crack in the era of electronic computers. In theory, everyone hopes that quantum computers can achieve epoch-making technological breakthroughs.

But these two things happened almost simultaneously.

Everyone is not just sitting back and watching this happen. Combined with the breakthroughs in semantic recognition of artificial intelligence demonstrated by Youwei M10 intelligent voice artificial assistant, scientists hired by these top technology companies wrote analysis reports, all of which suspected that Ning Zi was involved in... Some work done at the mathematical level has laid the mathematical theoretical foundation for artificial intelligence, but Ning Zi has not published it.

This is a comprehensive judgment based on Dominic Duncan’s speech at the World Congress of Mathematicians. Now everyone does not know how much change some of the application scenarios that have been implemented after breakthroughs in the artificial intelligence track will bring to the semiconductor field.

But for Yanbei Sports University, which has created many miracles, no one dares to underestimate the impact of building such a chip R\u0026D center on the entire industry at this time, so there was such a meeting.

In other words, everyone is afraid.

It is difficult to imagine the impact on these companies if the key technical difficulties in the field of high-end general-purpose chips are overcome by the Chinese.

Think about it, once China’s own brands of CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, various RF chips, memory chips and even industrial-grade chips start to hit the market, and paired with their own operating systems, the impact on participating companies will be devastating. of.

In that case, it would not only be as simple as losing the Chinese market, but Chinese products would also challenge these companies in the global market. The profits that could have been earned will no longer be sustainable.

Before such a doomsday scenario occurs, these bosses believe that it is indeed necessary to discuss a strategy to nip the danger in the cradle.

Today's meeting has actually lasted for two days. These company bosses are very pressed for time. It is naturally extremely annoying to be unable to reach a consensus on a topic for a long time. This is why today's meeting lasted until early morning.

Everyone knows that they should unify their ideas as soon as possible and formulate a series of game rules to curb China's overall upgrade of the semiconductor industry. At this point everyone has reached a formula and must prevent what they fear from happening. Even if it cannot be stopped, it must at least be slowed down.

However, due to their respective interests, these leading companies cannot reach a unified opinion.

To put it simply, everyone has reached an agreement on their goals and demands, but they all have their own ideas on the details of implementation. So the current scene has been achieved, with quarrels, discussions, and everyone talking about their own things...

Until someone can’t stand it anymore.

"Everyone, gentlemen, please be quiet first, be quiet!" Huang Wenhuang took the microphone and said loudly after turning on the microphone.

If anyone in the on-site meeting has the biggest opinion about Ning Zi at the moment, it is probably the chairman of Nvidia.

It is no exaggeration to describe Huang Wenhuang at this time as being extremely anxious.

Even though NVIDIA has taken a multi-pronged approach and tried its best to cause the destruction of the virtual currency industry, it still has little effect.

Countless mining machines have been abandoned, and batches of mining cards have begun to flood the market without any plan. The result is that the current price of graphics cards around the world is in an extremely chaotic state.

It’s no longer one price per day.

Countless dealers who are eager to get out have already launched a big sale mode, and even mainstream game cards that were only released last year have been knocked down by half the price. This is already a waste of money to find a buyer.

This has also contributed to consumers' waiting mentality. Even players around the world who have demand for graphics cards are cheering that the party has finally won. The current situation is that brand-new graphics cards cannot compete with mining cards at all, because as long as it is a game card, it is directly defined as a mining card by players. If the mining card wants to sell it at a high price, then it is a complete profiteer...

This will naturally have a huge impact on countless manufacturers.

So many raw materials have been ordered, and the warehousing cost of semiconductor components is not cheap. The weak demand from graphics card manufacturers has naturally been transmitted to upstream companies. This also directly forced Nvidia into a very embarrassing situation. A large number of GPU core orders have been cancelled. If the latest GPU technology is released this year, it means that there may be a greater backlog of previous products and prices will fall further...

Now NVIDIA's stock price has plummeted and sales are weak, which also means that investment in R\u0026D has to be reduced. If the technical reserves are dumped at once, it means that they may be scolded for many years in the future...

The culprit of everything is Ning Zi.

Originally, according to Nvidia's plan, they could develop graphics cards specifically suitable for mining, slowly digest the mining cards put into the market in batches, and then calmly achieve a soft landing, but the current situation is that the price of graphics cards has It was smashed down directly with an extremely hard posture...

If we want to evaluate who wants Ning Zi to die suddenly, Huang Wenhuang is definitely one of them.

…

The meeting room gradually became quiet after Huang Wenhuang picked up the microphone.

After all, everyone knows that it is impossible to reach a unified opinion if the debate continues like this.

"Everyone, let me just say a few words. I think you know the challenges you are facing now. If you still don't know the urgency of the problem, I suggest you turn on your computer, search for the current market conditions of game graphics cards, and then think about it. What an impact one person’s willful behavior can have on the market! Let’s just say it’s devastating.”

"So I hope that when you think about the problem, please think about that person's character. He doesn't care about the rules. With all due respect, Ning's character is no different from the evil scientist in the movie. I think he even thinks he is doing the right thing all the time. This is scary, because we should not use lobbying methods to persuade him to give up his ideas. In fact, after this incident, we also tried to contact him, but we never succeeded."

"If you are still not sure about this, you should ask Google, ask Cisco, and ask what happened to the delegations who have gone to China to negotiate with him on turbulence algorithms. You don't even have to ask, you can search it on the Internet .So everyone, please put aside your petty thoughts. You can’t be sure in which direction he will exert force in the future and start to disrupt the situation.”

"I have a feeling that this is our last chance. If we cannot contain his ideas, it will mean that we will fail in the market in the future. Mr. Gelsinger, Intel is a great company, and your CPU is This is the best-selling general-purpose chip in the world, but remember it’s only now. I really doubt that if he starts to focus on the chip field, he will start with the CPU first.”

"Also, Sasian, Noel, Charlie, if you continue to provide unrestricted software support to the Chinese people, will they be willing to continue to pay you sky-high licensing fees when they have tasted the sweetness in the general chip field? It's like Youwei Group obviously has chips provided by Qualcomm to choose from, but they have to spend huge sums of money to develop their own CPUs. You should all understand the logic of this behavior. China is no longer willing to pay out the largest part of its profits. "

"Why does Ning Zi only support the M1O series of products? Is Youwei Group just a Chinese company? But Huaxia is not just a smartphone manufacturer of Youwei Group. In fact, the internal competition of Huaxia smartphones is also fierce. There are four companies I know that have a certain influence around the world. After seeing the marketing miracle of M10, are they still indifferent? Do you think it is possible?"

"In fact, as far as I know, they have all tried their best to contact Ning Zi, hoping to get authorization. But except for Apple, they were all rejected. As for why Apple can be looked at differently, I believe everyone understands. In I don’t want to comment too much on Apple’s behavior here. Mr. Cook is an entrepreneur that I respect very much, but there is no doubt that he handled this matter extremely short-sighted.”

"Okay, everyone should be able to see the problem from this. You should be able to understand Ning Zi's purpose. He wants to disrupt the situation. If he is not taught a painful lesson, he will not restrain himself. Yes, China is a The market cannot be abandoned, and the same is true for Nvidia, but if they do not endure short-term pain and allow them to provide the tools we provide to help them develop, the final loss will be the life-long efforts of everyone here."

"We represent 64 companies at this meeting, and when our 64 companies can still determine the development of the semiconductor industry today, I strongly agree with the establishment of an alliance organization on the development of China's semiconductor industry. We all follow the unified pace, and guide the development direction of relevant industries in China. We must make a voice and tell them what they can and cannot do, instead of letting them cannibalize them step by step."

"Again, I'm warning everyone, I'm by no means alarmist. Ning Zi has proven with his actions that when he has the ability to destroy an industry, he will never be merciful. Especially when he has repeatedly done so without receiving a corresponding response. Under the circumstances. If it were me, I would be more unscrupulous. So I suggest that if you are unwilling to join our company, you should also be targeted by the rules of the alliance."

"Of course I also have a suggestion. We should find ways to raise funds to provide cash subsidies to some enterprises within the alliance that are greatly affected by alliance policies. To enhance the cohesion of the alliance and ensure that the implemented policies can be implemented. A strict attitude is necessary. Yes. Okay, I’m done with my speech.”

After that, close the microphone.

But this time there was no further controversy, including among company decision-makers who participated remotely via video.

After a long silence, the president of Samsung, who participated in the meeting via video, said: "I agree with Mr. Huang's opinion."

"Then everyone who agrees with Mr. Huang's opinion, please raise your hands..."

Many people in the conference room started to raise their hands, and soon more than half of them, including many big bosses who were still hesitating, finally raised their hands. In the end, everyone agreed.

"It seems that everyone has agreed that this is indeed a threat. So today we have the biggest gain. The establishment of the Semiconductor Alliance has been unanimously approved. Of course, this also means that everyone has recognized the details of the alliance that have been discussed before. Maybe tomorrow we can reach more agreement, including but not limited to discussing sanctions against challengers in the semiconductor field."

"Anyway, this is a good start. Thank you, Mr. Huang, and everyone. We will still be here at ten o'clock tomorrow, but before that, if everyone still has the energy, you can study some of the sanctions in the release document. If There are better proposals, which can be added tomorrow. In fact, I very much agree with what Mr. Huang just said. This may be our last chance. If everyone is not willing to unite, there may not be a better opportunity. Everyone, please rest first.”

…

China, Beijing.

The car has already arrived at Qiangdun Company's dormitory complex for Luigi Chuan and his wife in the capital.

The environment of the community is good and the rooms arranged are also good.

A house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, totaling 136 square meters.

The interior decoration is good and well maintained. Although the furniture is old, it is mostly made of solid wood and does not look old. The appliances are also brand new.

Obviously Zhang Haifeng also put a lot of thought into this piece.

After all, housing in Beijing is expensive.

Ning Zi also brought the gifts that Zhang Haifeng had prepared in advance into the room.

"Oh, you kid, you came here specifically to pick us up, how can you still bring gifts? Eh..."

"Oh, Sister Wang, Ning Zi knew that you like agarwood, so she went to find a piece of Qinan. I also heard that Coach Lu likes to drink tea. These are the two cans of authentic Dahongpao that Ning Zi found from friends. They can also be regarded as children. My heartfelt wishes." Zhang Haifeng answered quickly.

There was no way that although Ning Zi had told him to prepare these things, he didn't worry about them at all. Zhang Haifeng could only introduce them on his behalf.

After all, it is indeed not easy to get these two things.
