Chapter 678 You must master the core technology

Many people have never heard of Ni Guangnan at all. This is also one of the sorrows of China, scientists are never as popular as celebrities and businessmen. Ask today's young people, what are your dreams, either to be a star, or to make a fortune, how many of you want to be a scientist? As everyone knows, the people who really laid the foundation of our country are those unknown scientific researchers who work hard. They are the true treasures of our country.

Ni Guangnan can be called the founder of China's science and technology industry, a hero full of pathos.

Without him, I am afraid that the entire IT industry in Huaxia would never have reached the point where it is today------ and he participated in the development and design of the first tube computer in Huaxia.

Ni Guangnan, who used to work at the National Research Institute of Maple Leaf Country, has an annual salary of 43,000 Canadian dollars. You know, it was 1981, even in the Maple Leaf Country, this is the salary that only the top 5% of people can get!

But at that time, he resolutely returned to China, intending to dedicate his knowledge and wisdom to the country without reservation, and began to study 'Made in China'.

As early as the eighties in China, when the personal computer market was budding, when computers imported from abroad were expensive, could not recognize Chinese characters, and there was no Chinese operating system, and in this context, he invented the 'associative function', using the characteristics of phrases and homophones in the Chinese script, to establish his own Chinese character recognition system, which is a cross-era technical research, that is, 'associative Chinese character system'.

In 84 years, the Chinese Academy of Sciences founded a computer company, and he was hired as the company's chief engineer, after research and development, the first Lenovo Hanka for PC was introduced to the market. This 'Lenovo' Hanka sold 3 million in the first year, creating huge economic and social benefits, and completely changing the fate of the entire company, and finally the company name was changed to 'Lenovo'.

He served as a director and chief engineer in the company, designed and developed a series of Lenovo microcomputers, established the main business of Lenovo, occupied most of the domestic microcomputer market, and finally became the first batch of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 94 years.

At that time, Lenovo had a good momentum and became the leader of the domestic computer industry, but Ni Guangnan was not thinking about making more money, but thinking about how to have Lenovo's own core technology, and hoped that the company would fully carry out the 'Huaxia Chip' project.

However, the company's senior management disagreed with him, believing that only the high-tech products sold were money, so what was the 'Huaxia Chip'?

During that time, he and President Liu Chuanzhi continued to debate for more than half a year, and both of them expressed their opinions in the daily meeting, one talking about how to make money, and the other talking about how to engage in development. This cannot be said that Liu Chuanzhi is wrong. After all, the Chinese Academy of Sciences established Lenovo Company, and he is a cadre who settles in on behalf of the official, and for him, creating benefits is the most important thing. In the end, the result of the struggle between the two was that on the eve of Lenovo's listing in 95, the biggest hero of Lenovo was actually removed from the post of chief engineer!

Under the leadership of Liu Chuanzhi, Lenovo has developed step by step, once becoming the world's top IT company, acquiring IBM's notebook business, and becoming the first person in the Chinese business community.

Everything shows that Liu Chuanzhi is right and Ni Guangnan is wrong. But Ni Guangnan did not want to give up his idea, he believes that although the scale of Huaxia's IT industry is large, the profit is very low. Without its own core technology, the CPU and operating system are not Huaxia's own. More than 50% of profits are foreign. The Huaxia IT industry only accounted for 2% of the profits. Therefore, Huaxia must have its own 'brain' and 'core'.

In order to achieve this goal, he joined the 'Ark Technology Company' of Li Delei, a Chinese from the Maple Leaf Kingdom, who helped Ark Technology find money, the government, and any resources he could find, but he did not consider his own interests at all, and he had completely zero shares in the Ark Company.

In this case, the Ark-1 chip was born, and at that time, the media exclaimed that 'Ark-1' had changed the history of Huaxia's 'Coreless', and their project had become a key project supported by Zhengfu.

But who would have thought that the beginning was very brilliant, but the ending was extremely bleak, although there is a technology to make CPUs, chips have also been made, but looking all over China, no company has the ability to develop product prototypes based on this CPU, and no company can take it!

In desperation, Ark Technology established a hardware team to make its own product prototype, but after the prototype was completed, it was found that there was no supporting software available, and what was even more troublesome was that ------ had no money!

The state allocated 15.38 million yuan for the research and development of the 'Ark 3', which seems very high, but according to the requirements of the project budget of the '863 project', the part of the salary given to scientific research personnel shall not exceed 15 percent! Only 2.3 million yuan.

Nearly two years of development time, a total of 60 R&D personnel, each less than 40,000 yuan, calculated as a monthly salary of only 2,000 yuan. And a company like Microsoft spends more than 100 billion yuan on R&D every year! How can such a situation compete?

They reported their difficulties to the top, and as a result, Huaxia will never lack 'experts', and people say that the chip project funds are mainly used for tape-out and EDA tools, and the personnel salary is only a small head!

Wanting to let the horses run and not give the horses grazing, this key project supported by the state ended in failure, and Ni Guangnan became a laughing stock in the eyes of people.

But over the years, he has never given up his pursuit, and his words are loud: 'Airlines are monopolized by Boeing and Airbus, and the total number may only be hundreds of thousands, but there are only three operating systems to choose from for billions of smart terminals in the world: iOS, Android and indos, this kind of monopoly can not be found in the world second case, the monopoly of the intelligent terminal operating system is not broken, terminal security and big data security can not be talked about, Huaxia to become a network power, must solve the problem of intelligent terminal operating system. ’

But many people looked down on him, saying that he was like a Don Quixote, living in his own fantasies. If you are kicked out by Lenovo, you have to do things that others don't do, because you are stupid to do research, and you are angry, stubborn and selfish.

But now, Huaxing has been blocked by technology for seven years!

As a result, China's second-largest and the world's fourth-largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer made the ban of the Stars and Stripes country likely to go into shock immediately.

About 30% of Huaxing Communication's components are provided by manufacturers in Stars and Stripes. Forbes even speculated that Huaxing could file for bankruptcy within a few weeks.

Of course, it is unlikely that Huaxing will go bankrupt, after all, there is the support of the state. But the lesson is really profound. As Xiao Peng said, if you want to wake up someone who is daydreaming, you can only give him a big mouth!

At that time, the state's scientific research funding for Ark Technology was 15.38 million yuan, but now, Huaxing Company has to pay a fine of 890 million US dollars to Xingpiao because it violated the regulations of the Stars and Stripes! Who still says that 'Huaxia Chip' is not important?

The most important thing is that many Huaxia enterprises are now taking the route of Huaxia design's global procurement, which means that the throat of many Huaxia enterprises is in the hands of the Xingtian people! This trade war Huaxia can survive, but there are also many enterprises will suffer heavy losses, and the reason why they suffer heavy losses is not to blame others, but only to blame themselves------ short-sighted!

According to the current situation, if all the chips in Huaxia are really restricted, I am afraid that only Zhongwei can still rely on the Kirin chips developed by himself to withstand it, and everything else will be greatly affected.

Of course, this situation cannot simply say that domestic science and technology are insufficient. There are many difficulties in developing chips, such as the patents for general-purpose chips are basically in the hands of foreign countries, and X86 is used as a general processing architecture, and most systems and programs are developed based on X86. As a result, although Huaxia has 'Loongson', it can't install the INDOS system, so it either spends money to buy a license or starts from scratch.

But even if there is money for new things, people will not authorize us, and what is given to us is outdated. Therefore, there are almost no shortcuts, and in some key technologies, domestic enterprises started late, and in the process of development, it is easy to touch the existing intellectual property rights of foreign enterprises.

Moreover, many domestic chip manufacturers are not mature enough, and domestic companies with demand for chips do not recognize the chips researched in China, so let's take Zhongwei's 'Kirin chip' as an example. Who else uses it except Huawei's own mobile phones? No one buys them, and they all use Qualcomm's chips.

Unless Huaxia can launch some kind of epoch-making chip, it will be limited everywhere. Now the reason why Huaxia is vigorously developing 5G networks is also that it is free to go ahead of everyone in this ------, after all, 3G and 4G are also the patents of Qualcomm. Now in China, about 5% of the cost of each mobile phone is the patent fee charged by Qualcomm. If you don't use our chips, we won't let you make mobile phones! Meizu mobile phones are the best example! In the end, we can only pay for it.

One step behind, one step behind. Gaozu said that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. This sentence seems to be the absolute truth today. Not only in the military, but also in financial technology.

After listening to Xiao Peng's complaints for a long time, Pagio looked confused: "Xiao, what does this have to do with you?"

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, but asked Pagio to stop: "Well, this matter really has nothing to do with me, but as a Huaxia person, I don't want to see Huaxia so aggrieved." I don't want to be held in my hands one day. ”

Padgio burst out laughing, and couldn't stop laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Peng glanced at him: "The country is the country, how can there be a home without a country?" Although we Chinese people pay attention to 'family and country in the world', and family comes first, but to be honest, money is a number when it reaches a certain amount, and my family doesn't have to worry about it at all, it's time to worry about the country. ”

Padgio finally held back a smile: "Xiao, you really think too much, I can tell you clearly about this, what you are worried about will not happen at all! Why are you Huaxia in a hurry to use the 5G network now? Just to drag out the technical blockade." Stars and Stripes are not stupid, there is no problem for him to start with one of your companies, if he really starts with all of your Huaxia chip industry, I dare to guarantee that you Huaxia will establish its own different communication chip system, which is what you Huaxia is best at, after all, your country's unified execution is the top in the world. ”

"When that day comes, who is unlucky? The whole of Silicon Valley could be half bankrupt by then. So you don't have to worry at all, their counterattack will make your country hurt, but it can't hurt too much, if it hurts too much and you don't play, then they will be dumbfounded. After all, Huaxia is now the world's largest chip market, and without Huaxia, they would be hehe. ”

"Besides, what are you afraid of? It should be Richard who is afraid of you when you mix up! Your treatment of ALS is your unique medical skill, and if you cooperate with others, you can only see your color. This is the horror of monopoly, you are the best before someone else has ALS treatment options. Well, although ALS patients are also a relatively rare disease, but no country can ignore this group of patients, if Richard treats you badly, you just say that because of him, he will not treat ALS for the Eagle people, you see who will be miserable at that time? It is better to kill him happily now! ”

"Sometimes it's stupid to think about you, really. Is it also a matter of treating ALS to cure the disease? It is also a commercial activity, and the Stars and Stripes Country has cracked down on your business, can you also blockade them? If you blockade such a life-related matter? Believe me, the entire Stars and Stripes Country can't bear the wrath of the people. ”

Xiao Peng scratched his head when he heard Pagio's words: "People like you belong to 'traitors' in our Huaxia words!"

"Go to the special, you are my savior, didn't you just say that the family and the country are the world, and the home is in front? If I die, where will there be a home?" Pagio poured Xiao Peng a glass of wine: "My money can't be spent in a few lifetimes, what am I still worried about those things? ”

"Ugh。。。。。。 You said...... But I have a question, Pudge, isn't Richard your friend?"

"Yes, but you're my savior, there's a difference! And to be honest, my biggest hobby now is to see my friends embarrassed. It's not unusual to watch Richard Goben, and it's even more fun to watch Philnet Goben. ”

Xiao Peng looked at him speechlessly: "Who did you learn from this bad problem?" ”

"Oh, you and Yang, isn't that your greatest hobby?" Pagio looked at Xiao Peng with a surprised expression.

"You can't learn something good。。。。。。 ”
