NC does not mean brain-dead, but rather a type of computer as opposed to a PC, and people call it a "network computer".

The concept of a network computer was proposed in 1995 and caused a huge response in the industry at that time. This kind of computer relies on the Internet environment for information access and processing, except for the necessary human-computer interaction equipment, there is generally no external storage device, and even the expansion port is very few.

In the year when the NC concept was proposed, the "Network Computer Alliance" was established. Subsequently, IBM, Apple, Oracle and other five major manufacturers, jointly announced the industry standard of network computers, and more than 70 manufacturers have expressed their support, IBM and other companies quickly launched the first batch of such computers, and other manufacturers launched related server and desktop software.

What does it mean for vendors led by IBM and Apple?

They are challenging the "Wintel Alliance" led by Intel and Microsoft, because this kind of computer can bypass Intel chips and Microsoft's operating system.

The "Wintel Alliance" reacted quickly and quickly launched an NC that uses Intel Pentium chips and Microsoft systems. Since many users are already familiar with Microsoft systems, the NC products of the "Wintel Alliance" have developed rapidly, and various restrictions have begun to be used in NC.

Just like relying on new energy vehicles to catch up with the international pace, China is also eager to master its own chips and operating systems through NC. Academician Ni ran around for this, and even looked for Shenzhou Technology, but was politely rejected by Song Weiyang.

Although Song Weiyang doesn't understand technology, he is a traverser. As a prophetic traverser, Song Weiyang had never heard of NC in his previous life, which shows that this thing failed in the end, at least completely in the mass market.

How could Shenzhou Technology do something that failed? (Song Weiyang is lonely, although NC belongs to the non-mainstream of the computer industry, it is often used in securities, education, banking and other fields)

But someone is right for Academician Ni's appetite, that is, Li Delei, the boss of "SMIC".

Li Delei studied at Harbin Institute of Technology as an undergraduate, the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Alberta as a Ph.D., and was employed as a tenured professor at the University of York. Later, Li Delei joined Motorola and built his own company to undertake Motorola's outsourcing projects. This is not allowed in the United States, and outsourcing projects are not allowed to be handed over to internal employees, so Li Delei invited Hu Mingzeng, an alumnus of Harbin Institute of Technology, to serve as the company's legal person and put his shares in the name of relatives.

Li Delei's small actions were soon discovered by Motorola, and he could only resign voluntarily and switch to Hitachi (USA), and continue to undertake Hitachi's outsourcing projects. As a result, Hitachi (USA) also found out that Li Delei lost his job, and the company was unable to receive the project, but the company's chip R&D team was trained.

At this time, when Academician Ni was promoting the concept of NC everywhere, Li Delei had an idea and changed the company's name to "SMIC". He complained to the shareholders that it was difficult to make money, took the opportunity to weaken the shares of an old shareholder, and took back his shares from his relatives, and found Academician Ni a few days ago to discuss cooperation.

Academician Ni is not a fool, first tested Li Delei's professionalism, and then went to inspect the company's chip R&D team, everything made Academician Ni extremely satisfied.

If you think about it, Li Delei is a tenured professor at York University, and his team has undertaken chip outsourcing projects from Motorola and Hitachi before, and it is absolutely impossible to be ambiguous in terms of professionalism. Academician Ni is promoting the concept of NC, just to let people make NC chips, and then make NC operating systems, which is a perfect match with Li Delei.

Academician Ni does not take a salary or hold a position, but he takes the initiative to help Li Delei make the company bigger. While helping to run projects and apply for scientific research funds, he mobilized all his connections to help Li Delei's company reach a cooperation intention, and Song Weiyang was just one of the contacts found by Academician Ni.

"Xiao Song, let me introduce you," Academician Ni said with a look of joy on his face, "This is the boss Li Delei, who is a tenured professor at York University and has a very mature chip R&D team in his hands. ”

Song Weiyang had a playful expression on his face, shook hands and said, "Mr. Li, hello!"

"Boss Song, I have admired my name for a long time!" Li Delei shook hands with Song Weiyang very warmly. He doesn't have much money in his hand, and Academician Ni has helped raise more than 20 million two days ago, and it would be better if Song Weiyang, a big financier, could invest.

Academician Ni didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Xiao Song, I also talked to you about NC before, and now Boss Li's 'SMIC' plans to make NC chips." China can completely bypass Intel and Microsoft, make NC-based embedded chips, and then build operating systems and various software around NC. This is a great opportunity to overtake in the corner, as long as the project is successful, China will no longer be constrained by Intel and Microsoft!"

Although Song Weiyang is a novice computer, as the boss of Shenzhou Technology, his basic knowledge still makes up a lot of evil. He asked, "How is the ecological dilemma associated with network computers being computers, too?"

Academician Ni waved his left hand excitedly and said: "Solve the compatibility problem with Microsoft application software through the WBT mode, and solve the software development problem through the LBT mode." In the past, I didn't promote NC because China's Internet speed was too slow, but now the whole country is promoting broadband technology, and in another year, we will definitely be able to basically solve the NC network problem! China can not only use NC to achieve corner overtaking, but NC can also help China popularize computers. The price of a PC computer is 6,000 yuan, while an NC computer only costs 1,500 yuan.

"How to deal with the countermeasures of foreign manufacturers?" Song Weiyang asked.

Academician Ni said: "Now it is the Wintel alliance led by Intel and Microsoft that dominates, and although this alliance is strong, it also makes countless enemies. IBM, Apple, Oracle, Netscape, Sun and many other companies are working against the Wintel alliance, and we can join IBM's alliance system. ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "The last time you talked to me about NC, I specifically learned about it later, and this concept was initiated by Oracle. Three years ago, the CEO of Oracle held a conference to promote NC, and used NC to send emails and flowers to his mother, but the NC computer crashed on the spot, and the scene was extremely embarrassing. Now that Oracle, the originator of NC, has almost given up, and the United States, as its home base, is no longer keen on the NC concept, how can China win?"

"China is different from the United States," said Academician Ni, "the United States is dominated by the market, and China can be guided by the government." Moreover, NC is still widely used in the United States, with 98 of the world's top 100 companies beginning to use NC products, and 400 of the world's top 500 companies are also using NC products. ”

Song Weiyang said: "However, more than 95% of the computers used by these enterprises are PCs, and NC computers are just a supplement. There is also one of the most fatal problems, most of the server side in China is controlled by the Wintel Alliance, and the most important thing for NC computers is the server side. Once the wintel alliance chokes the neck on the server side, NC is not much different from a calculator, and even enough to play large single-player games. If you want to develop NC products in China, you have to replace most of the servers with IBM. Who pays users across the country to change servers?"

"This ......" Academician Ni was suddenly speechless.

"Give it up. Song Weiyang persuaded.

Everything else is negligible, and the server side is the focus.

Historically, Li Delei, who is recognized as a liar, did develop the Ark chip at the beginning, and it was forcibly promoted by the Beijing official.

How hot was it at that time?

Due to pressure from the government, Lenovo could only take the risk of offending Intel and took the initiative to launch NC computers with Ark chips. As soon as the news was released, the first batch of 5,000 computers was sold out before the production began, and all of them were booked by enterprises and institutions in the capital.

The NC concept is in full swing, and leaders at all levels are also keen to inspect. At that time, when the leaders of the schools that focused on promoting NC came to inspect, the principals complained, "NC can't be used, let's exchange it for a PC." The public security bureau in Beijing even invited Tsinghua experts to do a scientific appraisal that NC could not use, and threatened, "It doesn't matter if you are the director or not, you just don't need it!" - this is the Wittel alliance stuck on the server side.

Li Delei was originally a businessman chasing profits, but when he saw this situation, he immediately messed up and directly embezzled the national scientific research funds to make real estate.

Song Weiyang said: "Academician Ni, Shenzhou Technology is also developing embedded chips, and it has reached the stage of tape-out. You should come to work at Shenzhou Technology, the position is up to you, NC is a product with no future. ”

Academician Ni said: "You don't have to persuade me. Even if your chip is made, you still can't develop the Chinese's own operating system, and you can only become a follower of the Wintel Alliance. ”

Li Delei also said: "Since Boss Song is unwilling to invest, then I will not be reluctant, and 'SMIC' will definitely be able to hand over a satisfactory answer to the Chinese people." ”

Song Weiyang looked at Li Delei and thought about how to kill this person. He turned his mind and suddenly said: "Since it is for the country's plan, I am willing to invest whether it can succeed or not!"

"Great!" Academician Ni was overjoyed.

Li Delei also said happily: "How much does Boss Song plan to invest?"

"I personally invested 30 million yuan. Song Weiyang said.

"I wish us a happy cooperation!" Li Delei shook hands warmly.

Song Ruhua, the liar, is engaged in software parks everywhere, and Song Weiyang is ready to take over all the way behind his back.

The same is true for Li Delei, in history, when the Ark chip was successfully developed, all ministries and commissions sent representatives to come over. The government's scientific research funds have also been endless, Zhongguancun has approved a large piece of land, and there are countless orders from enterprises and institutions.

What is 30 million?

The land in Zhongguancun alone, as well as the subsequent construction of the Ark Building, are more than 30 million yuan.

Song Weiyang only needs to buy shares, so that Li Delei can make it hard. At a critical time, send someone to check the accounts, send Li Delei, who misappropriated scientific research funds, to prison, and Song Weiyang will stand up and clean up the mess, and you can get the following benefits: a building in Zhongguancun, a mature chip research and development team, and the goodwill of leaders of countless ministries and commissions. Before that, Shenzhou Computer can also use the Ark chip to successfully obtain orders from countless enterprises and institutions!

The bad guy lets Li Delei do it, Song Weiyang is only a good person, and he is a good guy who turns the tide.

What's the point of debunking a scammer?

It's cool to let the scammers work for themselves.
