Chapter 610: A New Encounter for Chip Fighters
The grandfather and grandson walked into the office talking and laughing.
Only at this time can Pei Ying see the side of her boss as a child.
After delivering tea, Pei Ying decisively withdrew and closed the door by the way.
As a secretary, this is still in sight.
Wu Tao lifted the purple clay pot and poured tea for Gu Xueli while saying, "Grandpa, you must have some instructions when you come today, right?"
"I can't talk about instructions," Gu Xueli stroked his knees and said: "On the one hand, Xiao Tao hasn't been to the report meeting of the torch plan for a while, and I came today to report to you on the progress of the work; on the other hand, I also have some new ideas to talk to you by the way." ”
Although it was a report, Wu Tao didn't dare to hold it up, so he immediately picked up a pen and paper and said, "Well, you say, I remember it." ”
"We have basically thoroughly understood the technical content of the current GSM standard. Qualcomm's CDMA standard, on the other hand, has progressed a little slower. In the next step, the expert group of the Torch Plan will fully participate in the formulation and research and development of the third generation communication technology standards. ”
Wu Tao remembered it fluently, but he knew in his heart that the third-generation communication technology that Gu Lao was talking about now would actually be called the 2.5th generation in later generations.
Rao is like this, a year's hard work, to be able to progress to this extent, is already relatively fast.
Wu Tao put down his pen and asked the question he was most concerned about, "How long is it expected that we will be able to have the ability to independently design communication chips?"
Design can be said to be the first threshold for the independence of the chip industry, and it is also the threshold that is biased towards the basics.
What's more, today's communication chips, compared with CPUs, and even later generations of intelligent communication chips, are even more difficult to say.
"At least half a year younger. Gu Xueli's answer has always been very conservative, and it was also expected by Wu Tao.
"But do you really plan to do the chip autonomy?" asked this question, Gu Xueli did not show any expectations and tendencies on the surface.
But Wu Tao was still very firm, "Of course." ”
"However, foreign technology in this area is already very mature, and it will definitely be difficult for us to become independent. Gu Xueli raised concerns: "Of course, even if it is finally made, if the foreigner lowers the price at that time, our previous efforts are likely to be in vain." ”
Wu Tao thought about it and said unhurriedly: "Grandpa, it depends on how you look at this matter." ”
"When the time comes, foreigners will play a price war with us, and that is also because we have this technology, so we have no choice but to do it. Otherwise, if we keep relying on imports, do you think he will easily play a price war?"
"You're optimistic. Gu Xueli said earnestly: "It seems that what Xiao Tao said about engaging in the chip industry is not your whim." In that case, then I will recommend someone to you. ”
When Wu Tao heard this, he was immediately interested.
In fact, leaving the matter of chip autonomy to Tao Changxuan to lead the way, Wu Tao is somewhat uneasy.
In the final analysis, Tao Changxuan is just a technical expert, and his background is not deep enough to dominate a new industry.
If there is a big name in the academic field and Tao Changxuan can join hands to create it, then the chip autonomy will at least be safer.
"This person, you may not have heard of it. Gu Xueli said eloquently, "But his achievements are still very strong." A few years ago, Lenovo Group acted as an agent for AST computers, and specially issued a kind of Chinese card, which greatly facilitated the popularization and application of English-based computers in China. ”
“…… It is said that in those years, he brought thousands of profits to Liu Chuanzhi, and it can be said that he is a big name in the industry. ”
When Wu Tao heard this, the name in his mind was already coming out.
It's just a name that is obviously very familiar, but when it comes to the end, I just can't say it.
Gu Xueli's voice continued: "It's a pity that now because of the dispute of ideas, he has been removed from the post of chief engineer of Lenovo Group. ”
At this point, Wu Tao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "You're talking about the chip fighter, Academician Ni Guangnan, right?"
"Hey~" Gu Xueli's eyebrows also lit up, "I didn't expect you to know him too?"
Wu Tao smiled and nodded, and the deeds of Ni Guangnan gradually emerged in his mind.
This is indeed a tragic scientific and technological figure, born in an era when copycat culture is prevalent and the economy is developing rapidly.
His ideas may seem extreme, but they are not lacking in their profound truths.
In that time and space, after Ni Guangnan was dismissed from Lenovo, he had been up and down in domestic CPUs and independent operating systems for more than ten years, and in the end he still achieved nothing.
Of course, there are limitations of his vision as a technical master, but it is also closely related to the environment of the times at that time.
It's not the fault of one person.
Moreover, the domestic CPU under the leadership of Ni Guangnan has finally achieved the success of commercialization.
It's just that because of the lack of consideration in the CPU ecological chain, it has led to the defeat of the city and Waterloo in the market promotion.
In the end, it was a complete defeat.
Even so, this old Ni still did not give up localization and independence.
Even in his later years, some of his remarks, after being misinterpreted, seemed so funny and ridiculous, and he still couldn't hide his heart for localization and independence.
Seeing that Wu Tao was in deep thought, Gu Xueli couldn't help rubbing his hands and said, "Xiao Tao, you see that the old man rarely intercedes with you. But today, I have to recommend it to you. ”
"In fact, I have had an idea about this since you Yuanqi Technology put forward the development concept of chip industry independence. In addition, you have just expressed firm confidence in the independence of chips, and I think the two of you will be able to work together. ”
Gu Xueli's tone was deafening, and his eager appearance was more attentive than talking about his own affairs.
Wu Tao sat up straight, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "Grandpa, your suggestion is very timely. In fact, the direction of chip autonomy on my side is also lacking a big name like Academician Ni to lead. It's just that Academician Ni's current situation may not have the same trust in me as you. ”
Seeing that Wu Tao had such concerns, Gu Xueli immediately patted his thigh and said: "This matter is on me! Don't worry, even if I can't move him, there is Lao Xu, let's go into battle together, and I promise to help you invite him." ”
Wu Tao was also in good spirits.
With Gu Xueli and Xu Changming going out together, this thing is really possible.
I hope that today's old Ni's wariness of businessmen has dissipated with the wind.
"In that case, grandfather, this matter will be left to you and Professor Xu. "Wu Tao is serious, and he can be regarded as a complete decision on this matter.
Gu Xueli seemed to be twenty years younger, and said with a wistful expression: "In fact, having a partner like you is a new opportunity for Lao Ni......
