Since Jiang Hongshao left Nanzhou, time passed, the page was turned in 2000, and in the spring of 01, the University of Science and Technology had a winter vacation, and Cheng Ran returned to Rongcheng.

Cheng Ran and the Blue Dot team contacted, and Deng Yu and they met, now the Blue Dot is on the verge of despair, the stock price of the American shell company fell to a tragic 0.1 cents, in the overall decline of the general trend, it is equivalent to the price of cabbage, Cheng Ran is their last straw, after some bargaining, Cheng Ran decided to buy 70% of the shares of Blue Dot with a symbolic 1.5 million, leaving 30% for the Blue Dot team of four. After making a blue dot, this company is still an encouragement with great prospects and hope for the future.

For Blue Dot Technology, it is not unacceptable to this result, because before that, to be honest, Blue Dot made a series of strategic mistakes and was almost unable to hold on.

From the first day of its establishment, the goal of Blue Dot is to do an embedded operating system, rather than the most widely used server field of Linux, hoping to apply embedded applications to car equipment, but in fact, there is no support for installed capacity at all, resulting in this road is getting narrower and narrower. However, when the orders from Fulong were exhausted, there was no relevant way out, and the business was visibly sluggish.

At that time, the Blue Dot team turned to servers, and as a result, the high-end server market was only 20,000 or 30,000 units a year.

Coupled with the IT bubble, there is no way to get money from the capital market, the embedded development of the blue dot has cost money sharply, and the server field is idling, and the two-line operation has directly exhausted the blue dot, and the four members of the team have even invested the money they have accumulated before, and now the funds are almost exhausted.

Cheng Ran won 70% of the shares for 1.5 million yuan and left 30% for them, which was already enough affection, which moved the four of them. Because before that, a company offered 1 million to buy Blue Dot, leaving them 10 percent, which is considered to have touched the line of four people.

Under a blue sky in a rare spring in Rongcheng, drinking coffee on an open-air platform on the fourth floor of the Tianxing Gym, Cheng Ran sat in front of Deng Yu, Jiang Ling, Liao Miao, and Kang Ming Blue Dot Core Foursome.

The fame of these four people when they first went public, probably if they entered a university to preach at any time, they would be overcrowded, but now it is obvious that they are all falling like a comet, and the newspaper reports during that period have set off a storm, and after the halo fades, I am afraid that now only the industry knows that the four of them were once close to glory, and now they are embarrassed.

Cheng Ran glanced at the four of them and said, "I am in charge of a laboratory at the University of Science and Technology, developing processors, and is currently in the process of tackling the microstructure, and the cycle of this structure is about one to two years, divided into several series, and there are clearly low-power embedded chips, which have entered industrial applications and consumer-level private applications." There will also be CPU chips, and even according to the relationship between the University of Science and Technology, it may also get orders from the military, and there will be great prospects in the future, so I will give you 30% of the shares and develop together. ”

What else can Deng Yu and a few people say, when Blue Point first started, it was Cheng Ran who supported them, and even used Fu Long's order to raise the stock price, and when they exited the private placement, they also asked them if they wanted to run a little bit, they could give them a channel, but the result was that they couldn't restrain the greed of human nature and didn't agree. watched Cheng Ran cash out and leave the scene, while they experienced that mighty avalanche.

Next, when the blue dot was about to be cornered, Cheng Ran entered and helped them point out another way.

Jiang Ling sighed, "Mr. Xiao Cheng, you are really a bright light!"

"Less sycophancy, more work. Cheng Ran waved his hand, and in the laughter of everyone, he said, "I revealed this, in fact, it also means that you have a long way to go. My task to Blue Dot is two sets of strategies, one is to develop a CPU operating system based on the mobile terminal, and the other is to develop an embedded operating system, the software ecology does not have to worry, the chip is based on the ARM architecture, and after maturity, it can fully support most of the various software that is now optimized and mature. ”

Deng Yu was surprised, "A chip based on ARM architecture? I have never seen it before, and we can have it? How did HKUST come about?"

This is too unsophisticated. Deng Yu is really still a typical technical maniac, and other aspects are not enough, Liao Miao, who is the most suitable for the role of a military advisor among the four, can only secretly shake his head to remedy, "If it involves leaks, Xiao Cheng will always stop there." It's just that when the time comes, you will dock with us, but you really want me to touch it with my own hands......"

The four of them were wide-eyed, the University of Science and Technology can actually carry out the research and development of ARM architecture chips, what is going on? And the key word is "microarchitecture", what does it mean is self-evident, and the four of them can't help but exclaim.

"It's still hard to disclose, in short, you know that we have succeeded in this regard, and the next step I need your operating system to keep up, you can start with the embedded system that you are good at, after all, the embedded chip of the HKUST laboratory also needs to be matched. On the other hand, I have an idea...... "Cheng Ran took out the clamshell Nokia he carried with him to show everyone, "With the current way of mobile phone popularization, people's mobile phones will inevitably be miniaturized in the future, and the development of intelligence will inevitably become a new category and mainstream mobile phone mobile operating system platform in the future...... Next year, Blue Dot's plan is to see such a project team on scale. ”

"Does HKUST want to make a mobile CPU?" asked Liao Miao, her voice trembling a little.

"Be prepared. Cheng Ran paused, "So that when the unknown comes, you can face it calmly...... Actually, we're trying to do that. ”

A few people couldn't hold back any longer, got up from their seats, and threw punches into the air.

......

The Hanwu team led by Hu Zhiwei of HKUST is now intensively researching the ARM architecture, and the team is currently divided into two ways, one is led by Nie Yun to be responsible for the front-end design. One way is responsible for the back-end design. The quality of the microstructure depends on the level of front-end design, with the current conditions and investment of the University of Science and Technology, the advantage is to occupy the instruction set authorization, but even so, the research and development of a microstructure does not have a cycle of two or three years, and the results cannot be produced, which is a cost-consuming and labor-intensive process.

However, once the microstructure is developed, it means that the security and backdoor problems are completely in their own hands, and they have the ability to implement the instruction set and freely expand the instruction set, and carry out a greater degree of independent ecological construction. To put it bluntly, microstructure is the core engineering capability, and if you can't do this, you can't really have the ability to design chips independently.

The Blue Dot team is to connect the relevant supporting operating system platforms after the microstructure comes out, and of course, the most important thing is the layout of the mobile phone operating system. This point believes that the Blue Dot team has room to play, in terms of ability, Blue Dot is already the top group of people in China Linux, and from the starting advantage, now is the best time, what the future can develop, or can be expected.

......

These things were arranged for the first time when he returned to Rongcheng, and he talked to Liao Miao and the four of them, and after the arrangement was made, Cheng Ran went to the second floor of the Tianxing Daoist Hall to meet Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou said with a smile, "Nanzhou's Tianxing Daoist Pavilion will open after the year, do you need to cut the ribbon when the time comes? Four hundred machines, probably the largest network settlement in Nanzhou, if you want to fight, you have to let that side know that our Tianxing Daoist Hall is here." ”

The Tianxing Daoist Pavilion is likely to become a cultural IP, and Jiang Zhou's Internet café-based business has no shortage of cash flow. It is the most prosperous time for Internet cafes, and if Jiang Zhou is chained in major cities, he can catch up with this golden age. Cash is kingCash is king, and if you don't engage in those operations that take the road of finance and banking, Jiang Zhou's entity operation can be regarded as a cash cow. According to Jiang Zhou's estimates, the largest cyberspace in Nanzhou with 400 units has opened, and according to the current situation of full passenger flow, after deducting artificial rent, water and electricity, the Nanzhou Tianxing Daoguan optical Internet café business has an annual income of nearly 4 million.

Of course, Nanzhou is expected to open four to five stores, and when all the plans are in place, the Tianxing Daoist Pavilion in Nanzhou will be a ranch that generates cash.

Cheng Ran only made the most important safety requirements for Jiang Zhou, of course, Jiang Zhou is much more professional than Cheng Ran.

At noon, he had dinner at Jiang Zhou's place, Jiang Zhou squeezed his eyebrows and smiled by the way, "In the afternoon, you will have a reunion with the No. 10 Middle School? Do you want me to send you over? My new Daben will open the way? It is also convenient for your classmates to meet their old lovers." ”

Jiang Zhou's car bought a butterfly Ben, S320, it is said that he wipes the car every day, and his key is that this car is not often driven, and he drives the previous bread when he goes out to meet the supplier for an order meeting.

Now he can drive with Cheng Ran to show off, which shows his generosity.

In Cheng Ran's gaze, Jiang Zhou consciously packed up the things in front of him and moved to avoid them.

I don't know if there is an old lover, but the fart is still slapped on the horse's leg.

Cheng Ran left the Tianxing Gym, but still gave Jiang Zhou a chance to show off, took his car to Wangjiang Park held by the alumni association, got off the car outside, and walked into the ancient buildings covered by trees in the park.

The hotels are scattered one by one in the halls of those ancient buildings.

The passenger flow of Wangjiang Park is usually very popular, at this time it is the hotel party hall of the No. 10 Middle School Alumni Association, there are many people gathering for dinner at the same time, and the vehicles outside are crowded, which also shows the prosperity of Chengdu's economic development today.

Seeing countless acquaintances at the door, Zhang Ping waved to Cheng Ran with great excitement, "The champion is here, our champion is here!"

"Cheng Ran!" A girl with a lively personality greeted her, and Cheng Ran beckoned, it was Hao Di and Marco.

Obviously, because of Cheng Ran's fame, and even the fame of the spread of the deeds of the University of Science and Technology, so that when they heard about his arrival, many people who were originally playing cards, drinking tea, and chatting came to the door one after another.

Seeing the former classmates who have been different, Cheng Ran is still a little eager.

The students let Cheng Ran into the hall and walked to the tea room where the crowd gathered, and there was a commotion, and everyone greeted him one after another.

"Did you really have an association?"

"Your association promoted a commercial concert at the school, and it offended the principal!?"

"Later, it is linked to business, and the principal is gone......

Of course, some hearsay, the most impressive, is the whole school to send concert flyers and offend the principal, after all, everyone is more concerned about this kind of outrageous content.

Cheng Ran could only smile at everyone, which could be regarded as a nod of agreement.

Then, after a while, there was another excited shout from the person who was in charge of greeting at the door.

"Qin Qian is here!"

"Yang Xia is here!"

"They're coming together?"

"Both of them are in Tsinghua University, they must have a good relationship, and it is not surprising that they made an appointment together. ”

In the midst of these voices, Qin Qian and Yang Xia were seen entering from the door together,

Qin Qian and Yang Xia did make an appointment together, the two of them had just returned to Rongcheng for a day or two, and now the two women have their own graces, Qin Qian is tall, wearing a small satchel crossbody, wearing a warm white scarf, a black and brown coat, and the most conspicuous thing is the long legs wrapped in gray cotton socks that show her figure on her lower body, and her temperament is outstanding. Yang Xia is dressed as a lady with a dark blue jacket and a light blue tight sweater, tight jeans and shawl hair.

This is an open hall, a lot of tea seats, their tenth middle school classmates occupy several tables, and after the two girls come in, there are many adult men in some tea houses, but their eyes will be more or less attracted by the eye-catching young girls, it is estimated that some people are already discussing in private can be called the best of Bashi.

And after the two of them entered together with such an aura, after an excited greeting with familiar classmates and friends.

The two of them exchanged and talked about it, but their eyes involuntarily deflected, almost at the same time, fell on the man who had blended into the crowd and was listening to the people next to him laughing and chatting about college and life with a cup of tea.

Cheng Ran felt something, tilted his head, and met them.

This is the spring in Rongcheng, the most ordinary, peaceful afternoon.
