Chapter 809: Early Eruption
Ni Guanglan's reaction was completely unexpected by Li Yadong, a person with a patriotic heart will always have a strong interest in this kind of topic.
"The reason why I did this is very simple, because China has missed out on many big development opportunities, such as the three industrial revolutions, which is the main reason why China lags behind the developed countries in the West," he said with a light smile.
"And people with a little international vision know that the current global economy is facing a huge opportunity, that is, the rise of computer-based electronic technology, which contains more than trillions of wealth?
"If China wants to rise and narrow the gap with the developed countries of the West, it must seize this opportunity, otherwise, we will only be drawn further and further away by European and American countries, and the desire to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will become distant.
"However, the current situation is very unfavorable for us, China's scientific research foundation is too weak, and if it continues to develop according to the conventional model, China is destined to not be able to reap the huge rewards of this opportunity, at least not on a par with the developed countries in Europe and the United States. ”
Li Yadong paused when he said this, the faint smile on his face had been completely retracted, he looked at Ni Guanglan squarely, and said with a solemn expression: "Professor Ni, you should know very well that in the long run, it will be a vicious circle, if China wants to really rise, it must occupy a certain advantage in a certain global economic wave, for example, this wave of science and technology, we must have a few high-end technologies that no one has, no one has me, and the least is equally divided."
"To make that happen, we have to break the mold and install an accelerator on China's weak research base, so I decided to start a tech company, recruit talent, and invest all the money I can to help China's tech take off, so that the country can be a trendsetter rather than a spectator in the coming wave of technology." ”
"What a hipster!"
Ni Guanglan slapped her thigh suddenly, and then looked at Li Yadong's eyes, obviously becoming a little different.
He really didn't expect that an entrepreneur still had this kind of responsibility, and the reason why the other party decided this plan was not for himself, but for the rise and fall of the country.
This is really commendable.
Not to mention that he was so young.
"So...... Professor Ni, what do you mean?" Li Yadong knew that his words had awakened the other party's enthusiasm, and asked while the iron was hot.
However, excitement turned into excitement, and when he was really asked, Ni Guanglan paused, and subconsciously pushed the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, his expression a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Li, your plan is very good, and with your ability, you must always be able to find a lot of good scientific researchers, why do you have to look for me? You know, I ...... After all, I'm the chief engineer of Lenovo Group, and I'm going to go......"
Although Ni Guanglan's words were not finished, Li Yadong already understood the meaning.
With his character, it's probably not easy to do something blatantly job-hopping.
After all, the dispute between Liu Ni and Liu had not yet broken out at this time, judging from Lao Liu's behavior of asking him to come out of the mountain three times, he must still be not thin on him now.
As for why Li Yadong had to find Ni Guanglan, the reason is very simple, there are two main aspects.
The first is its own excellent professional technology.
Didn't he think about finding a mentor for Miss Su before?
That person is naturally Ni Guanglan.
Miss Su compares with Ni Guanglan...... That's just ...... There is no comparison.
She specializes in computer software, and has not yet designed any software that is widely used in the market, and Ni Guanglan's Chinese character software developed based on Lenovo Hanka and Lenovo microcomputer has already sold more than 100,000 sets, creating tens of millions of profits for Lenovo Group.
And that's not the point.
The focus is on computer hardware.
Miss Su is only good at one subject, while Ni Guanglan is soft and hard.
Compared with the achievements in software, Ni Guanglan's achievements in the field of computer hardware are obviously greater.
What many people don't know is that China's computer research started not late, as early as the sixties, China independently developed the first tube computer - 119 machine, and at that time the world's countries that could independently develop computers were only the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and a few large countries including China. It was only later due to political factors that many of China's scientific research work stagnated, and it was slowly distanced by several other major countries.
And Ni Guanglan is one of the R&D personnel of the 119 machine.
Later, he also participated in the development of the 717 display, which was the world's earliest Chinese character display.
Two years ago, he also developed a Lenovo program-controlled switch, which even Zhongnanhai has purchased a lot.
You must know that Lenovo was founded in 84, when the start-up capital was only 200,000 yuan, why did it become the leader of China's technology companies in just a few years, and its market value forced into the hundreds of millions mark?
It can be said that the biggest hero is Ni Guanglan.
The second is the concept of technology first.
This is completely consistent with Li Yadong's idea, but it is diametrically opposed to Lao Liu's idea.
It was also the fuse of the Liu Ni controversy.
Ni Guanglan is a great talent, he not only has excellent technology, he took the lead in the development of ASIC chips based on Lenovo Hanka, microcomputers, and Chinese laser printers very early, and is also one of the earliest proposers of Chinese chips, he proposed to establish a chip design center, vigorously develop integrated circuits, and even processor chips.
However, as a result, everyone knows that his wish was not realized, and he was slapped to death by Lao Liu with a brick, thinking that this move would cost the people and money, and in the end it may not be successful, and the risk is too high, far worse than importing foreign ready-made computer accessories, and then assembling them into finished computer products and selling them to the market.
The two also parted ways because of this.
Then Ni Guanglan gradually faded out of the public eye, and he did not slow down for 11 years.
In terms of facts, in Li Yadong's view, Lao Liu's vision on this move is too short-sighted, and it is no wonder that Lenovo will invest in real estate and plantation in the future, and he will be embarrassed to call himself a technology company.
Probably from the moment Ni Guanglan was stepped down as chief engineer, Lenovo was no longer a technology company.
And if Ni Guanglan hadn't been blasted out of Lenovo, how could there be only one Huawei pillar in China's technology industry in the future?
So much so that he was ridiculed by netizens that "instead of sitting and associating, it is better to rise up Huawei".
But the person Lao Liu doesn't want to want, he Li Yadong wants!
And you have to get your hands on it!
Because looking at China's computer field, at least for now, Li Yadong has not found anyone more far-sighted than Ni Guanglan.
"Professor Ni, with all due respect, don't think that Lenovo can't do without you, in fact, in my opinion, you won't stay at Lenovo for long. ”
"Oh?" Ni Guanglan couldn't help frowning and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"To tell you the truth, while investigating you, I also investigated the entire Lenovo Group. As a bystander, from a rational point of view, I found that there is a great contradiction between Lenovo's business philosophy and your development concept as the chief engineer, and it can even be said that it is in the opposite direction. ”
"This ...... Is there one?" Ni Guanglan was surprised, he didn't feel anything about himself, he felt that the atmosphere of the entire group was very good at the moment.
In fact, Li Yadong just relied on the ability of "unpredictable prophet" to just mess around here.
Does he need to investigate Lenovo Group?
It wasn't necessary.
The dispute between Liu Ni in the previous life will happen next year, and if there is really any seed of contradiction, 100% of it has been planted now, but it has not yet been showdowned.
And all he has to do now is ......
Let the battle of Liu Ni break out in advance!
