Chapter 810: China Chip
"There is a saying that Professor Ni must have heard, called 'the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear', yes or no, you can know at a try. ”
Although Li Yadong controlled his expression well, he still gave Ni Guanglan the feeling of hiding a knife in his smile.
He asked, "How do you try?"
"May I take the liberty of asking?" Li Yadong suddenly diverted the topic and said, "What is the biggest scientific research idea in Professor Ni's mind at the moment?"
"This ...... Does it have anything to do with the topic we discussed?" asked Ni Guanglan, frowning.
"Of course. ”
“……”
Ni Guanglan suddenly regretted a little, regretting that he shouldn't have let this young man in the door, and now there was always a feeling that he wanted to provoke the relationship between himself and the group.
But now they are sitting opposite, still smiling at themselves, and they are all right.
sighed and said: "It's not a secret, if China wants to make a difference in the computer field, it must break through the core technology, and the ultimate core of the computer is undoubtedly the chip." So I proposed a 'China Chip' project, intending to set up a chip design company with Fudan University and several other computer companies. ”
After hearing him say this, Li Yamin's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Sure enough, the prelude to the Liu Ni controversy was already being staged.
"Professor Ni, if I'm not mistaken, your Chinese core project shouldn't have been reported to the group, right?" asked Li Yadong with a smile.
Ni Guanglan glanced at him in surprise, and felt that this guy was too smart, and it seemed that he couldn't hide anything from him, so he nodded subconsciously and said: "It's true that there is no specific report, this is a big deal, we have to be prepared to struggle for at least ten years, and the investment in all aspects is also very huge, so I plan to get the general framework out first, get the talent reserve in place, and then report to the group." ”
"Don't get it. ”
“……”
These sudden three words directly made Ni Guanglan confused, and even looked a little angry, frowning and said: "Mr. Li, aren't you just saying that China's scientific research foundation is too weak and needs to be vigorously developed, and chips are the core components of computers, why don't you get them?"
"No, no, no...... Professor Ni, you misunderstood what I meant. Li Yadong hurriedly explained: "I don't have any opinion on such an important thing as chip research and development. I mean, don't get busy with these frameworks, and recruit people or anything, and report the plan to the group first. ”
"Why?" Ni Guanglan wondered.
He's the kind of guy who never fights a battle that isn't sure, and when it's too big, he'd rather lay out all the stalls and then tell the group: Look, everything is ready, we're fully capable of doing this research. Then let the group make the decision.
"Because if you don't report it first, you're going to end up with a lot of work. ”
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious.
Of course, Ni Guanglan was not stupid, she instantly understood, and said with a frown: "What do you mean...... The group will not approve it?"
Li Yadong bowed slightly.
"No! this can't be!" Ni Guanglan waved his hand, a hundred disbelief.
Since the day he joined Lenovo Group, he has not cared about the company's operation and product sales, but as long as it involves technical matters, he has always had the final say, and no one will have any objections.
And it turns out that all his decisions are right, and every product launched by the group in recent years has been well received by the market and created rich benefits for the group.
He didn't even let the group lose a dime!
In this case, what reason does the group have not to pass the "China Chip" project that he has poured so much effort into?
As long as they are not stupid, they should understand what it means once Lenovo breaks through chip manufacturing technology?
At that time, Lenovo's advertising slogan "If the world loses association, what will happen to mankind", it will be worthy of its name!
"I'm still the same sentence, yes or no, Professor Ni, you will know when you try it. Anyway, just report it in advance, it won't have much impact on you, and if the group really doesn't approve it, it won't make your efforts come to naught. You're right?"
Ni Guanglan frowned, but did not reply.
Li Yadong knew that his impression of himself at this time was only afraid that it would not be too good, but he had already said everything he needed to say, unless Lao Liu suddenly opened up, otherwise things would definitely not run.
Therefore, he didn't plan to stay any longer to be an eyesore, stood up, and said with a smile, "Professor Ni, it's not too early, so I won't bother much." Finally, for the new company that is about to be established, I am determined to put technology first, and all the company's resources should be tilted towards scientific research. If Lenovo is over there...... Please also be sure to consider my invitation carefully. Here's my phone. ”
Li Yadong said, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over with both hands.
Ni Guanglan still didn't speak, she also stood up, took the business card with both hands, and put it in the left breast pocket of her white shirt.
……
What Li Yadong didn't know was that Ni Guanglan was a scientific research worker, with almost no fancy intestines, and his personality was much more direct than that of people in the shopping mall.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, Ni Guanglan paced to the red-lacquered bedside table and made a phone call directly.
"Hey, who's who?" a slightly tired voice came from the other end of the line.
"Is it Mr. Li, I'm Ni Guanglan. ”
The person who can be called "total" by Ni Guanglan is naturally not an unknown person.
This person's name is Li Qin, and he has been the executive vice president of Lenovo Group for decades, in charge of production, marketing and sales.
Ni Guanglan is in charge of research and development.
The two of them can be described as Liu Chuanzhi's right-hand men.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing had just entered Lenovo, and he was still only a small role, serving as a department manager.
Of course, this title is completely out of courtesy respect, and Ni Guanglan's current prestige in Lenovo is unmatched except for Lao Liu.
And the reason why Ni Guanglan called Li Qin was because of the "China Core" project he proposed, Liu Chuanzhi didn't know yet, but Li Qin knew, and he wanted to explore Li Qin's tone first.
Because he has been busy with scientific research, he rarely attends group activities except for meetings involving product research and development, while Li Qin has frequent contact with Liu Chuanzhi.
Maybe this matter has passed through his mouth and was known by Liu Chuanzhi, or it is possible.
"Oh, it turned out to be Ni Gong, aren't you in a meeting at the Central Committee, why do you have time to call me?" After learning that it was Ni Guanglan, Li Qin's originally weak voice was obviously much clearer.
"Isn't this night......" Ni Guanglan smiled and said, "There's something I want to ask you." ”
"Ni Gong, look at you, what are you polite to me? ”
"Okay, I'll get straight to the point. I would like to ask Mr. Li, do you know about the 'China Chip' project I proposed, what do you think about this?"
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and after a long while, the voice rang again, "Ni Gong, do you want to hear my true thoughts?"
"Of course. Ni Guanglan frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Since he joined Lenovo, so far, Li Qin has never said half a "no" to him.
"I don't think it's a good proposition. Ni Gong, you may not know very well, some of the products we have recently developed are not selling well in the market, the speed of product research and development is too fast, the group's basic management ability can not keep up at all, I think we should cancel the research and development of some projects, and first manage the existing products. ”
"Joke!"
Hearing him say this, Ni Guanglan was directly laughed angrily, "Mr. Li, the products can't be sold, and the management can't keep up, so let's increase the basic management construction of the group, what does this have to do with product research and development?
"Ni Gong, don't get excited, listen to me first. To be honest, there are too many R&D projects in the group at present, which cost a lot of money, especially the 'China Chip' project you proposed, which is simply a bottomless pit...... There are some things that we don't want to develop otherwise, not to mention the time-consuming and laborious efforts, and in the end I don't know if there is a result, it is better to import them directly, do a batch and sell a batch, maybe the cost will be a little high, but as long as the sales cycle is short and the sales volume is large, in fact, it is the same reason. You're right?"
"Oh!"
“……”
"Li Qin, you have to understand a little bit, we are a technology company! Relying on assembling products alone to make a living, that is only the business of a trading company! And a technology company, if it is not always innovating and progressing, how can it compete with others?"
"This ......"
"Okay, let me ask you, does Mr. Liu know about this?" As the so-called words are not speculated for more than half a sentence, Ni Guanglan is too lazy to tell him, this guy who does the market, sees money, only knows how to make quick money, and has no vision for long-term development.
"I don't know. ”
Ni Guanglan was angry on the spot, he only told Li Qin alone in the board of directors about this matter, he knew if he knew, he didn't know if he didn't know, he didn't know, he didn't know?
He felt more and more that something was wrong!
At this moment, I just hope that the CPPCC meeting can end quickly, and then go back to ask Liu Chuanzhi for clarification in person.
As a computer technology company, if Lenovo does not develop its own chips, it may still be able to make money by assembling products, but it will never be a great company!
