Liu Yunlai is bold and practiced, Sun Shaojie is smart and transparent, not only in his career is of great help to Du Qiu, but also in private with a similar temperament and maintains a good relationship with friends, so although Sun Shaobao stirred up trouble in the middle of the family banquet at noon, the atmosphere is still very harmonious, and the guests and hosts are happy.

Not long after lunch, Sun Shaobao was called away by a phone call, and before leaving, he said to Du Qiu with a proud look of making a lot of money: "Call me after you are busy for the past few days, you can call me at any time, I will take you to see the courtyard." ”

"Okay, Director Sun walks slowly. ”

As soon as Sun Shaobao stepped out of the threshold with his front foot, Sun Shaojie vigorously closed the security door behind him, gritted his teeth and sighed: "This loser! If my grandfather is still alive, he can beat him to death." ”

Du Chunhua, who was helping to clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the restaurant, was a little uneasy and explained: "Sister Sun, my brother is not sensible, he just said casually on the way here, your family's ancestral home ......."

"Chunhua, don't get me wrong, I'm angry with my brother, and it has nothing to do with your brother. Sun Shaojie waved his hand and said with a smile: "That set of courtyard houses is left in my brother's hands, it will either rot or collapse, it is better to transfer it to Du Qiu, and when he is finished, I can still take a little trick or trick to live for a few days from time to time." ”

"If Director Sun really transfers it to the younger brother, he will give you the key when the time comes, and he can live at any time, he is lazy, and he can't come to the capital a few times a year......"

In 1995, there was no large-scale demolition in the capital, there were many courtyards, and the price was not too expensive, so Du Qiu didn't have to pay attention to it, he made himself a cup of green tea, and then went to the study under the leadership of Liu Yunlai, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Brother Liu, do you know what the big project Director Sun said before dinner?"

In fact, the project carried out by the Ministry of Electronics Industry has no secrets at all. Have you heard of the 908 Plan?"

"Nope. ”

"908 is a chip manufacturing project carried out by the Ministry of Electronics Industry in 1990, and Shaojie and I have written news reports for it. Liu Yunlai took the ashtray, walked to the windowsill and lit a cigarette, and said while smoking: "The goal set at that time was very high, I wanted to catch up with the international advanced level in one step, and directly produce chips with a process of 0.8 microns to 1 microns, and the results were demonstrated, and it has been demonstrated for 5 years, and nothing has come out, and in these 5 years, the foreign chip manufacturing process has been upgraded for two generations, from 0.8 microns to 0.32 microns." ”

Du Qiu knew some technical knowledge and lace gossip about chip manufacturing before, but he never paid attention to the development history of China's chip industry in the 90s, and asked with interest: "Is this the 908 project that Director Sun is talking about?"

"No, 908 is a product of the 85th Plan, which is now outdated. Liu Yunlai was afraid that Du Qiu would not understand what the five-year plan was, and explained in detail: "China will formulate a five-year plan every five years from the national level, 1991 to 1995 belongs to the Eighth Five-Year Plan, 1996 to 2000 belongs to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, each department will generally formulate their own industry development plan one or two years in advance, submitted to the central government for approval before the end of this year, Sun Shaobao said, should be the Ministry of Electronics Industry for the Ninth Five-Year Plan to develop the project." ”

"The project of the Eighth Five-Year Plan is called 908, so the project of the Ninth Five-Year Plan should be called 909, right?"

"Pretty much this kind of government project, the name generally maintains continuity. Liu Yunlai has been a reporter for many years, and his sense of smell is very sensitive in terms of policy, saying: "This year, the central government proposed to rejuvenate the country through science and education as a long-term strategic task, and attaches great importance to chip manufacturing. ”

Du Qiu has always had the idea of getting involved in the chip industry after the crossing, and felt that this was a good opportunity, and said: "Brother Liu, this 909 project, you pay more attention to it, and ...... every month No, keep me informed whenever there is new news. ”

I heard that it costs at least $1 billion to build an 8-inch wafer production line, and with Snapdragon's current capital, it can't be played at all. ”

"Just because you can't afford to play now doesn't mean you won't be able to play in the future, it's always good to prepare in advance. ”

Du Qiu started from scratch, in just a few months to make Snapdragon into a billion-dollar multinational company, although he often makes small mistakes in business management, but he has never made a mistake in the strategic layout, Liu Yunlai has long been impressed by him, although he feels that investing in chips is too risky, but he no longer opposes, and said with a smile: "My uncle can't do anything, but his ability to find out the news is first-class, and his ears are more sensitive than those of us reporters. ”

"It's very nerve-wracking to deal with Director Sun, and in the future, the company will reimburse Brother Liu for 10 boxes of tranquilizing brain fluid every month. ”

"Hahaha......"

Liu Yunlai laughed, and then the landline phone on the desk rang, and after answering a few words, he pressed the hands-free button and said, "Zhou Yuan, Mr. Du is next to me, you can tell him directly." ”

In March, when Snapdragon was just founded, a total of 6 senior talents with a salary of more than 10,000 yuan were recruited, of which Qin Mu and Xiao Wu and other five were doing technology, only Zhou Yuan was doing media, responsible for the company's marketing and publicity work, in May, because of lack of manpower, Chen Dayou was temporarily seconded to Silicon Valley, responsible for the business promotion of iVie, Du Qiu had no choice but to fool Liu Yunlai to Yuncheng in the way of painting a big pie, so that he could take charge of all publicity and public relations affairs, and successfully operated the first China Internet Conference.

After iVie was spun off from Snapdragon in August, a dedicated marketing team was formed, Zhou Yuan got out of Silicon Valley and returned to Cloud City as the chief media officer, taking over the publicity work, and Liu Yunlai was based in Beijing as a senior vice president, responsible for public relations, building a social network for Snapdragon and exploring various political and business intelligence.

It is Zhou Yuan's job to compete for the CCTV standard king, he came to the capital several days in advance for activities, and had dinner with the people of the CCTV advertising department at noon, so he didn't come to Liu Yunlai's house, and after a little greeting with Du Qiu on the phone, he said: "Mr. Du, I made an appointment with Tan Xisong, director of the CCTV advertising department, to meet at the Media Center at half past three in the afternoon, and I have arranged the hotel room." ”

"Good. ”

"It's only 1:20 now, why don't I go to Brother Liu's house to meet Mr. Du first, and then come over together?"

"Okay, come here. ”

After Du Qiu hung up the phone, Liu Yunlai took out a memo from the drawer of his desk and said, "Mr. Du, many departments and units have contacted me in the past two days, and I want to invite you to a meeting or a speech, you can take a look first." ”

Du Qiu took the memo and looked at it, and found that in addition to the meeting invitations of government departments related to the Snapdragon business such as the Ministry of Electronics Industry, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and the State Administration of Taxation, there were also speech invitations from famous universities such as Beijing University and the Institute of Posts and Telecommunications, and even included activities such as awarding honorary degrees or titles. ”

"Why should Mr. Du be arrogant. Liu Yun saw through his seemingly self-deprecating but actually complacent mood, and said with a smile: "I met Professor Pan a few days ago, and he said that if you are willing to be a teacher, Jingcheng University guarantees to get you a professor certificate within one year." ”

Professor Pan was one of the experts who went to Yuncheng to participate in the Internet conference in August, and once tricked Du Qiu into recruiting him to Beijing University to study for bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, Du Qiu was very impressed with him, and said: "Professor Pan is too exaggerated, even Albert Einstein could not be a professor in his early 20s." ”

"I can't say for sure. Liu Yunlai opened the glass door of the bookcase, took out a heavy newspaper clipping folder from it, opened it to display it page by page, and introduced: "This is a report on Snapdragon and Mr. Du in important domestic newspapers and publications after the Internet conference, and four important pieces of information have been repeatedly mentioned......

"The first is that Mr. Du did not choose to start a business in Dongying, but resolutely returned to China for development, which is particularly precious in the current social environment of general worship of foreign countries, you see, "People's Daily" not only published the full text of the lyrics of "Jasmine Blossom" that you sang, but also distributed a commentator's article ......"

Even a political novice knew that the commentator's article of the "People's Daily" was not trivial, Du Qiu picked up the newspaper clipping folder and read it carefully, but in addition to taking him as an example and calling on overseas students to return to China to serve, he didn't see any other way, so he put it down again and continued to listen to Liu Yunlai's introduction.

"The second is the third industrial revolution proposed by Mr. Du at the opening of the Internet conference, that is, the information revolution represented by the Internet, China for various reasons, missed the first two industrial revolutions, resulting in a hundred years of backwardness and beating, so we must not miss the third time, the central and local governments have attached special importance to this, as of the end of October, there have been 17 senior officials and senior officials personally led a delegation to visit Snapdragon, and the call for accelerating the development of telecommunications and the Internet industry is getting louder and louder......"

"The third is that we focused on promoting the concept of knowledge to change destiny and millionaires under the sun, the effect is very good, the phrase "knowledge changes destiny" has been quoted by several leaders on different occasions, and has appeared three times in CCTV's "News Network"; millionaires under the sun have caused great repercussions among intellectuals, especially senior intellectuals, according to the survey of "Science and Technology Daily", 76% of scientific research practitioners under the age of 30 have a bachelor's degree or above of people are willing to throw away the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises and start their own businesses or work in private enterprises, which is more than 20 percentage points higher than last year......"

"The fourth is the Android operating system, 3C standardization conference and iVie 2.0 released after the emergence of the Snapdragon is the first high-tech company that really has the world's advanced technology and sets international standards since the reform and opening up, and will become China's Microsoft in the future, and Mr. Du is China's Bill Gates, of course, after the success of iVie's financing, Mr. Du is already a veritable Chinese Bill Gates, because no one in China is richer than you......"

It took Liu Yunlai more than ten minutes to introduce the contents of the newspaper clippings, and finally concluded: "Mr. Du, you are now a patriotic role model, the hope of the industry, the myth of wealth, the pioneer of technology, the idol of youth, so many halos in your body, a professor title, what is it?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a large clipping of the front page of "Science and Technology Daily" reporting on iVie's successful financing, put it on his desk, and emphasized: "Mr. Du, creating a company worth $1 billion in 8 months is no less shocking to the Chinese people than the atomic bomb explosion back then, especially since you are only 22 years old this year, 22 years old!"

Before Du Qiu's crossing, an Internet start-up with a valuation of $1 billion could only be regarded as a small star in a first-tier city, far from reaching the level of national attention, so he underestimated the impact of iVie in 1995, at this time, looking at the thick newspaper clippings, he felt that the people of the whole country were pinning their desire for technology and wealth on him, a little Alexander, after a moment of silence, he said: "Actually, I am 23 years old this year." ”

This sentence is actually nothing, but in the context of this moment, it has produced a nonsensical comedic effect, Liu Yunlai laughed, held a lighter and said: "22 and 23 are the same, they are all in their prime, and the future is worth looking forward to." ”
