An entire wall of the conference room was finally filled with questions faced by all the people involved.

There is a demand for supercomputer chips, a demand for graphics workstations, a demand for software, a demand for network engineering, a demand for Internet profit models, a demand for the design and development of aero engines, a demand for the realization of national policies, and a demand for the return on bank investment......

Every participant here is a representative of a unit or industry, which means that they are sitting here with real problems to solve.

And when these questions are all gathered at one point, they have faintly realized what Hu Wenhai is talking about.

Future.

Hu Wenhai is actually drawing a pie for them, and under the Chinese system in the past, it was not complicated to solve these problems. Because at that time there was a "government of all powers". Anyway, it's a planned economy, just type the report up, and then wait for the approval of the higher-level organs.

Whether the project can be approved or not depends on the person who approves it.

Now, however, China is gradually moving towards a market economy. Without that pen that manages the sky and the air, everyone certainly feels a lot more relaxed. However, from another point of view, whether it can "make things happen" or not, the question cannot be thrown on the head of the pen.

Well done or badly done, it's your own business.

Leaving this big nanny, many people are really uncomfortable for a while. If you don't go to the department to ask for money, you still have to do what you have to do, but what exactly do you have to do? Everyone is beating a drum in their hearts.

In Hu Wenhai's description, the difficulties faced by each person, unit and industry alone have been regrouped into a system. Interdependence, mutual market, and interactive promotion have changed from the original open-loop control to closed-loop control that can give feedback to each other.

For example, the computing institute that produces supercomputers used to design, develop, and produce supercomputers. The equipment came out, and everyone happily held an award ceremony, passed the peer review, and formed scientific research results. And then as for which unit or industry has a demand for supercomputing, it is not something that we can control.

For the computing institute, this is an open loop, with no feedback. In the era of the planned economy, such control was not a problem, anyway, it was produced according to the plan, and the country had to find a customer to distribute what was produced.

However, in the market economy, the computing institute will then develop products according to the open-loop system, and who will digest the things produced for you? The things produced do not meet the needs of users, and the products are backlogged, so naturally there is no money to continue technological development.

After such a negative cycle is generated, basically an industry is considered to be abandoned.

What Hu Wenhai wants to do is actually build such a closed-loop control system. In this system, a healthy ecology can be formed with each other, and such a mechanism is much more meaningful than investing more than a dozen or billions of dollars.

Not to mention the famous cat theory, which is the general design blueprint for building China's economic miracle in the next 30 years. Throughout the future history, several of China's most outstanding and successful people have actually done the same thing.

Ma Yun and Ma Huateng are competing for each other in the Internet field, which business is fighting for and which one has earned two cents more? At their level, what they have to consider is no longer how to do the specific business or which advertisement is hung on the homepage of the website every day. Rather, it is necessary to consider how the entire industry will be laid out, and what will happen in the next five, ten or even twenty or thirty years.

Although Ma Yun was said to be rotten in the success study, President Ma's strategic vision was really not black. When Alipay dominated the rivers and lakes, he was able to go to the door to lobby the relevant departments to nationalize Alipay.

Is Ma Yun stupid, from the perspective of hindsight, if Alipay really became the only Internet payment method officially supported by China, the rest of the world's Internet will be on the same side, which is not enough for Ma Yun's father to fight with one hand.

But it's a pity that Ma Yun is smart, but he is not the only smart person in the world. The four major state-owned banks have resisted the pressure and maintained UnionPay's transcendent position in Internet payment. not only supported WeChat payment to fight with Alipay, but also followed the introduction of one measure after another, and the six. On the battlefield of mobile payment, the two horses still have to fight!

In the Internet market, the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind. If you can't rush forward, Yahoo, Netscape, Nine Cities, and the school ...... hanging on the crooked neck tree , I'm afraid it's the fate of the next big guy.

Don't say it's impossible, the former BAT Big Three, didn't they also divide into two levels later?

As for traditional industries, it's actually the same. Is Wang Jianlin's Wanda just a shopping mall and a movie theater? Why did Suning sharpen its head and drill into e-commerce? Why did Xiaomi refuse to make mobile phones with peace of mind? Why did BYD sell batteries and become a car company?

In the same way, with Mr. Hu's assistance, some domestic industries now seem to be full of flowers. However, if a complete ecological chain cannot be formed, and a healthy closed-loop system of profitability and success cannot be formed, in the next few years or so, I am afraid that its rise and fall will also be sudden.

"The electronics industry is called a multiplier of traditional industries in the United States. In any industry, the higher the usage rate of electronic products, the lower the cost of production, and the higher the efficiency. However, I believe that in the next ten years, with the completion of the Internet, the electronics industry will not only exist as a multiplier, but will profoundly affect and change the way the entire human society operates. ”

Hu Wenhai finally concluded: "All our problems boil down to one problem, that is, how to build an ecological chain of the IC industry. We need to have a large number of users who can consume a lot of processors and display chips, and reduce the cost of our processors to a fairly low level through mass production. ”

"With a huge number of users, they have huge data requirements that can be used to fill up our vast network bandwidth. The software demand brought by a large number of users will cultivate a huge group of programmers based on our local Chinese market, and then increase our voice and influence in the Internet and the world computer market. ”

"Finally, and most importantly, only an internal market with a large number of users can support our industry as a country to be reckoned with in the world. ”

"This is the market, and in this market, it is not only your technology, your product that determines whether you can survive or not, but it is not uncommon for good products and technologies to fail in the end. However, the failure of an ecosystem with a large user base is rare. ”

"So, only users, a huge number of users are the key to the problem. ”

"We want to do everything possible to stuff the chips we produce into every Chinese's home, hands and even body." And the first step of our strategy is here - Pudong. An industrial park where talents from all walks of life from all over China will be concentrated to realize this vision. ”

"Using the 'Whisperer' graphics card in our hands and the 286CPU that has been licensed, Xiucheng Computer Group has come up with a solution for an image processing system. Within the framework of this solution, we can realize computer-aided design and build a dedicated supercomputer for aerodynamic floating-point arithmetic needs. Software optimization for this system requires a large number of software talents. The large amount of data generated by the software also requires network bandwidth for transmission......"

"Now, if you want to use this system and reap enough benefits from this system, then you must send this system into the homes of enough Chinese." How? I have an idea here that you can discuss. ”

The mystery was finally about to be revealed, and everyone in the conference room raised their spirits and listened carefully to Hu Wenhai's next answer.

To be honest, the system described by Hu Wenhai is indeed a good thing. But cost is also a real problem. In these people's brains, the computer is a scientific research tool, and at most it can be used as an electronic office tool. The price of a computer in 91 is less than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. In this era when 10,000 households are worth bragging about, how many Chinese consume?

Not to mention sending computers into the living rooms of all Chinese, even "thousands of households", this goal is too ambitious.

How can China, which has just barely been able to popularize television, have so much capital to popularize computers again? What's more, even with so much money, what is the use of having a computer at home for the vast majority of Chinese people whose average education is not yet at the high school level?

If it doesn't work, the Chinese people will never spend this money.

Hu Wenhai took a deep breath and said happily: "My idea is to release a video game console!"

"Since 1983, when Nintendo Japan's FC console was released, more than 20 million units have been sold worldwide. If nothing else, the sales of imitations supplied to the Soviet Union through the Xiucheng Computer Group alone have reached 500,000 units in the past two years. ”

"Although the price of FC hosts is still very high for Chinese, some domestic assembly machines still sell very well. According to conservative estimates, the number of FC hosts in China should also be 80 to 1 million units......"

Before Hu Wenhai's words were finished, Ran Ni, general manager of Xiucheng Computer Group, who was sitting below, raised her hand. She asked, holding a newspaper in her hand, pointing to an article on it.

"Mr. Hu, have you read this article that refers to game consoles as electronic heroin?"
