The handwriting of 1,000 computers shocked many reporters.

After all, this is 1997, an era of three or four hundred yuan per capita per month.

Send 1,000 computers directly.

Even for a company, giving away tens of millions of computers is not a trivial matter. In particular, Qin Feng's Kyushu IT Technology Company has just become popular recently by relying on Loongson, but in the blink of an eye, it has been strongly crushed by Inter with absolute technical superiority.

In this case, is it worth spending that much money?

"Whether it's worth spending this money depends on the perspective from which we look at each other!" Qin Feng said with a smile in the face of the doubts of many reporters, "If you look at the problem purely from the perspective of money, it will naturally be a loss." Because, our company has indeed suffered a small setback at the moment. However, judging from the lives of these children, and the value they may create for us in the future, this money is too worthwhile. ”

"I built Loongson so that Huaxia can have its own processor and no longer be controlled by others in the future. And if you want to no longer be controlled by others, you need your own unique technology. And where does the technology come from? Talent! What is the most expensive talent in the 21st century? Talent! For talent, no matter how much I invest, I think it's worth it!" Qin Feng got the lines from the well-known movie "No Thieves in the World" in the later generations.

This remark, not unexpected, went straight to the headline quoted in the exclusive report of "News Network" that night. Including the next day, major newspapers and magazines quoted this sentence: What is the most expensive in the 21st century?

This time, Qin Feng's reputation for cherishing talents resounded in the streets and alleys of the country.

Of course, Loongson also followed the fire.

From beginning to end, Qin Feng mentioned Loongson once, but it made everyone remember Loongson and Qin Feng's long-cherished wish.

Especially on the second day, some official media are standing up for Qin Feng to promote Qin Feng's Loongson.

Huaxia Loongson, indeed, in terms of performance, has a certain gap compared with the Pentium 2 processor just launched by Intel. However, this is our first CPU in China, and its performance can be compared to the first generation of Pentium just after it was born. This fully illustrates the potential of Huaxia Loongson. As long as everyone gives Loongson a little support and gives Loongson a little time, I believe that Qin Feng, who attaches great importance to talents, will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer. ——Review of "China Daily".

Similar reviews have also occupied the front page headlines in other newspapers and magazines.

For the sake of China, for the sake of the future, please support Loongson's remarks, which became a mantra for a while.

"Mr. Qin, it's amazing! This advertisement can be hit on the "News Network"!" Many bosses in SEG Plaza were also impressed, and they also seized this plan to vigorously promote Loongson.

This also made Loongson's market share rise for a while.

"Qin Feng, since the news broadcast, our chip sales are currently rising. Now the order has exceeded 1 million!" Lei Jun said with a smile.

Previously, although it signed a contract with SEG Plaza for 7 million pieces a year. But this does not mean that SEG Plaza will buy 7 million pieces at once. They also don't have that much money to buy.

Rather, it is said that many bosses of SEG Plaza purchase goods in batches. Although, the total number will reach 7 million tablets. But if the Loongson can't be sold, they won't have the money to buy it.

This eventually led to a lawsuit, and the other party lost the case according to the contract, but there was no money to pay.

Of course, Qin Feng wouldn't really be like this, forcing the other party to go bankrupt to buy the Loongson that he couldn't sell. At the moment, it is naturally good news to be able to withstand the pressure of Intel and continue to sell well.

"Yes, we have finally kept our sales for the time being!" Qin Feng sighed, "However, after all, our technology is not as good as people, and we can't always fool people with the new generation of dragons in this generation." This next-generation product may be difficult to launch for the time being. Our goal is to increase the speed to 500MHz in the 0.18 micron process. Since we are inferior to Intel in the core of the chip, it is better to suppress it with frequency. ”

At present, Intel's Pentium 2 chip is only 233,266, and the most expensive is 300.

"We've managed to increase the frequency to 300 and keep the power consumption up to just 5%. Lei Jun said, "333,366 power is being tried!"

"Then launch the 300MHz Loongson. The price remains the same!" Qin Feng said, "By the way, has there been an increase in cost?"

"Not in terms of cost. Before this, our company had just set up the production line, not only in terms of production, there was some waste, but also in terms of management. And, as production increases, it also reduces costs. Only when we run these by ourselves can we know that Intel makes more money!" Lei Jun sighed.

This can no longer be said to make money, it is simply printing money. The profits are too high.

Of course, R&D costs are also very high. For example, now, the more than 600 fresh graduates they recruited before, or graduates who have already worked, their salaries are hundreds of thousands a month, not counting the corresponding bonuses, solar saving fees, etc., just the basic salary. Then there are the corresponding company management costs, etc., plus the cost of scientific research, the consumption of experimental products, the purchase of equipment, and so on. On average, the cost of scientific research invested by Qin Feng in one month exceeded 20 million yuan.

And this, in fact, is very low. Intel's annual investment in scientific research costs are billions of dollars.

This is one of the reasons why Intel is so strong.

Of course, it's also the reason why they make money.

"But there are still not enough talents!" Qin Feng sighed.

"Then do you want to poach talents from abroad?" Lei Jun proposed.

Qin Feng thought about it and shook his head.

"That's it. This circle is a little bigger, digging around, either Intel or AMD engineers. We still have to guard against becoming commercial spies. Qin Feng shrugged, "In this case, forget it and rely on our own efforts to develop." However, I try to invite Harvard professors to come and train every year. The key is to recruit more talents. A scientific research team of more than 600 people is not enough!"

In Qin Feng's heart, it is far from enough for this scientific research team to have a few thousand people.

Because the R&D and marketing of any product requires thousands of failures. This kind of failure is inevitable. Without these failures, there would have been no success.

Therefore, the larger the number of scientific research teams, the shorter the cycle from failure to success.

"Guess what Intel will do?" asked Lei Jun.

Qin Feng pinched his chin and thought about it, and smiled.

"Anyway, we are now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, so we think of ourselves as low-end products. Just catch Celeron and don't let go! It's Celeron who fights!"
