As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Geng saw Li Rui (deputy director of the Fourth Machinery Department and director and party secretary of the State Administration of Electronics and Computer Industry), Lu Ming (deputy chief engineer of the State Administration of Electronics and Computer Industry) and others quickly came out of the courtyard.

Chen Geng immediately turned his head to look at Wang Zhi: Didn't I say it, try to keep a low profile.

Wang Zhi explained with some embarrassment: "This is what the chief meant, the chief knows your difficulties, but we can't ignore the rules at all." ”

Chen Geng sighed secretly, he pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked over quickly to meet Li Rui and the others: "Minister Li, you are ......?"

Li Rui also stepped forward quickly, and said apologetically: "Mr. Chen, it's abrupt, I really can't help it this time, I know that you are coming to give guidance to comrades, I am here to learn from the scene." ”

"Huh?" Chen Geng looked at Li Rui in surprise: "How do you say this?"

"Mr. Chen, let's talk while walking?" Li Rui made a gesture of invitation to Chen Geng.

Chen Geng nodded: "Okay." ”

"In view of the fact that computers have played an increasingly important role in the development of the national economy, the head of the Central Committee has issued instructions requiring us to strive to promote the development of computer technology, especially microcomputer technology.

According to the instructions of the leadership, some time ago we held a national computer coordination work conference in Jiuxianqiao, based on your data research company and IBM's mature experience, after several discussions, we decided to produce thinkcenter and ibmpc compatible machines as the direction of development, which is also a major scientific and technological product of our national Sixth Five-Year Plan, but now, we have encountered a more difficult problem. ”

"Oh, you say. ”

"We're not sure whether to use the Motorola series CPU or the Intel series CPU," facing Chen Geng's puzzled gaze, Li Rui scratched his head: "Mr. Chen, do you think it's better for us to use the Motorola 68000 series CPU, or Intel's 8086/8088 series CPU?"

“……”

Chen Geng was depressed: "You also ask me this question?"

Li Rui said embarrassedly: "In fact, at the beginning, we have discussed a preliminary result, that is, to use Intel 8086, and then upgrade to 8088, your company's ThinkCenter series and IBM's 5150, The 5160 series are all using these two CPUs, but not long ago, your company just launched the ThinkCenter-68000 series based on Motorola's 68000 series CPU, and the market response is also very good, now, everyone is not sure whether to choose the Motorola series of CPU or Intel series processors, some can't make up their minds......"

In fact, there is more inside information in this, Li Rui has no way to say.

The Ministry of the Fourth Machine has just been reorganized into the Ministry of Electronics Industry, but the people are still those people, institutions or those institutions, such as the original Fourth Machine Department Electronic Technology Application Research Institute, after the reorganization is completed, it is still called the Electronic Technology Application Research Institute, which is commonly known as the four machine departments and six institutes, there is a microprocessor research room under the six institutes, and the following is divided into several groups according to the different research directions, 05 groups take Intel series processors as the research direction, and 06 groups take Motorola series processors as the research direction.

Previously, because the microcomputer products launched by the data research company and IBM are based on the Intel series processor as the core, and have achieved excellent economic benefits, at this Jiuxianqiao meeting, it is natural that the 5 groups have the right to speak, but with the advent of the thinkcenter series microcomputers based on the Motorola 68000 Zhongyan processor of the data research company and the recognition in the market, the 06 group thinks that their opportunity has come.

They put forward their opinions to the leaders: Intel's 8086 and 8088 series processors are very good, but Motorola's 6800 and 68000 series processors are also good.

Of course, Group 06 was not stupid enough to ask to overturn the previous plan, and their suggestion was: as the most successful microcomputer company in the world today, Mr. Chen Geng's data research company is an example for us to learn, since the data research company is Intel and Motorola walking on two legs, then why don't we walk on two legs?

If it's just like this, the 06 group of the film opened its brains and put forward a backup theory: "In this way, our 06 group can back up with the 05 group, no matter which group fails, there is another group that can go up, and the microcomputer plan is a major scientific research product of the national Sixth Five-Year Plan, and it must be guaranteed to be foolproof!"

This argument and argument of the 06 group is so strong that they even directly moved out the political significance of this microcomputer project, who dares to directly say that the idea of the 06 group is not good?

But the problem is that the idea of 06 groups backing up each other is good, and if conditions allow, it can indeed be operated in this way, but this matter is difficult at one point: no money!

The country is too difficult, the special funds allocated to the microcomputer research and development project are less than 1 million RMB, such a small amount of money, only enough for everyone to choose whether to develop this project based on Intel or Motorola, can only choose one of the two, backup for each other?

The idea is very good, but the current strength of the country does not allow it.

I had no choice but to ask Chen Geng for advice: Do you think we should choose Motorola or Intel?

Although Chen Geng didn't know the cause and effect of this, he was not stupid, how could he step on this pit?

"If it's a technical problem, I can say a few words, but this ......" Chen Geng shook his head: "I'm sorry, I really can't help you." ”

Li Rui was a little depressed, but he had nothing to say, Chen Geng had his own worries and concerns, and he actually understood that the problem he had just had was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man.

"There's a question, Minister Li," Chen Geng appropriately diverted the topic and asked Li Rui, "Have you started to prepare the software for this system?"

“……”

Li Rui looked confused.

It's not that Li Rui doesn't know the role and significance of software for computers, and there is no difference between a computer without software and a pile of scrap metal, which is of course clear to Li Rui, who is the leader of the State Administration of Electronics and Computer Industry, but the problem is that we haven't even determined the hardware yet, and the operating system is 108,000 miles away from us.

"Is it early? It's not early," Chen Geng said, looking at Li Rui, "but at least you have to determine which software to develop and which direction to develop, right? ”

ps: I have a cold, brothers should know, every year when the seasons turn around, there will be a fever in the millennium, and the millennium has been fine for the first two days, thinking that this change of season is no problem, but I didn't expect it to be hidden.

Try your best for the millennium, but it is estimated that there are only 4,000 words today, and I ask for your forgiveness, brothers.
