Chapter 711: Communication
Loongson purchased the MIPS architecture license, although he has never been the pride of China, but it is also an important player in this industry. Loongson's performance is not very good, but this is not a technical problem, but a resource problem, there are not enough people, how can it catch up with Intel and AMD, how many Loongson developers? More than 1,000? So in the face of too many demanding domestic requirements, Loongson has actually endured too many unfair evaluations. As for why the Internet giants did not invest in Loongson, perhaps they do not think about this structure, and no one has the ability to build a complete industrial chain. Zhou Shi is obviously an outlier, and after Yahoo launched the concept of open-source foot bones, people including Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Google took the initiative to contact Yahoo to seek the possibility of cooperation. Open source requires courage, which is especially rare for a Yahoo that is still in the doldrums. Many people have a good impression of Zhou Shi because of this, and he is more reassuring than those giants who are actively engaged in the open source cause.
In his vision, MIPS chips mainly provide chips for mobile smart terminals such as smart TVs, routers, TV boxes, drones/driving, smart speakers and other consumer products, as well as chips for cloud computing and open computing framework servers. The main battlefield is definitely the field of artificial intelligence of the future.
The investment of time is very important to Loongson, he at least makes the domestic CPU from impossible to possible, the depth system of time, more and more people have begun to try to use, in addition to no office, is there not a WPS? This is the role of adapting to the situation, turning the impossible into the possible.
The traditional PC of the deep system and the innovative PC of the Chromebook, which are two different products of the mindset that break the winter alliance. In fact, if you can learn to use the Linux system from the beginning of PC education in elementary school, you can break the monopoly in China a long time ago. As for the reduction of productivity in the short term, it is not worth considering, it will not be a long time, and there will be many alternative solutions. With the advent of the SaaS industry, many alternative solutions have emerged.
"Sure enough, the market affairs still have to be left to the market to solve!" said a big man from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
If you don't cry or make trouble, no one cares, Zhou Shi has made achievements, and he naturally wants to perform, money, policies, and talents, as long as he is useful and can get it, he will want it.
"If I don't get the support of the state, do you think there will be someone as stupid as me? Or do you think I will always do these thankless things, or do you think that everything has to be worked hard by a state-owned enterprise like Lenovo?" Zhou Shi scolded him unceremoniously, if the simple market can solve these problems, then he doesn't need to pay.
Domestic state-owned science and technology enterprises are not without power, such as supercomputers, but they are much worse in the field of application. To put it bluntly, although the domestic supercomputer has excellent performance, it may not be able to fully apply these performances, after all, domestic supercomputing software has always been an embarrassing existence. However, for artificial intelligence and deep learning, as well as big data analysis and processing, supercomputers are also a necessity. Both Yahoo and Time are ready to make their own artificial intelligence core engines in China, that is, Yahoo Brain. However, well, supercomputing is not Zhou Shi's goal, he just wants to get more preferential treatment, such as getting government procurement like Lenovo, which is also the reason why Lenovo is still profitable even if it has been losing money overseas for a long time.
"Time, Spreadtrum has been losing money, and we can actually do many things without doing it, but for the sake of domestic industrial security, we have been working hard, but the state can't treat everything as if it didn't see it, do you want me to go bankrupt, and the state will find someone to take it over? "Zhou Shi
"Don't talk nonsense, the country is so big, how can you think about it, don't ask for it, let us take the initiative to send the benefits to the door? And this is your attitude of begging people!"
"I'm not used to begging people, mainly because I feel that I have worked hard for various domestic undertakings and have not received any help
"And what benefits do you want?"
"Tax incentives, fiscal and financial support, and government procurement, it is better to limit the development of Windows, IOS and Android in China!" Zhou Shi
"The first two are okay to say, but are you sure the latter requirements are not joking?"
"You don't really know about the Five Eyes Alliance's Prism Project, they are monitoring the world through various network facilities, and I can't ask too much. "Zhou Shi
"Project Prism?"
"As long as you use the U.S. network communication equipment and operating systems, chips, network services, etc., you will inevitably encounter the reality that all kinds of hidden data are monitored. "Zhou Shi, why did Google withdraw from China, do you really think they are very pure? Although for most ordinary people, Google is indeed a conscientious enterprise, far surpassing Baidu, but for the country, that is not necessarily. In addition to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil in China, overseas companies must also open their data to the US imperialists because of legal problems, which means that they will transmit Huaxia's data back to China. Zhou Shi's solution was to set up a branch in Huaxia, introduce third-party shareholders, and use local Huaxia management personnel.
"Even if we want to, there is no alternative product on the market, ZTE Huawei can replace Cisco, but no company can replace Microsoft and Intel ......" bigwigs
"That's not necessarily, Yahoo decided to open source the MIPS chip architecture, and if the state strongly supports the development of this industry, our probability of success will be much higher. "Zhou Shi
If there is a market, a policy, an industrial chain, and the support of giant enterprises, the development of MIPS will be much better, and this opening up is also doomed to the bankruptcy of the RISC-V. architecture.
"Are you really going to open up this architecture?"
"Of course, isn't it just hundreds of millions of dollars, I can afford to lose!" Zhou Shi
"Since it is open source, China will definitely support the development of this industry, not for you, but for domestic information security. "Big guy
Zhou Shi quickly separated from the big guy and didn't get any promises, but things in China are like this, even if it's a good thing, it has to be delayed for a while, he is not surprised, and the specific follow-up depends on the person in charge of the company and some special talents. Zhou Shi's requirements are not all in the information industry, as well as Internet finance, the development of mobile Internet to the present, time finance is ready to make efforts in mobile payment, this kind of major event, it is better to communicate in advance, although it may not be effective, at least let them know about it.
