During this period of time, Ni Guangnan's mood can be called mixed.

The reason why he joined Lenovo at the beginning was that he was moved by Liu Chuanzhi's sincerity and was ready to play a technical card for Lenovo.

Since then, for a long time, Liu Chuanzhi regarded him as Lenovo's "technical business card", and completely followed his ideas in the field of technology research and development.

In the beginning, the direction of the two sides in the field of technology was the same.

With his efforts, Lenovo designed its own PC motherboard, and on this basis, it expanded its business, so as to launch a computer that truly belongs to its own brand, and achieved a leading edge in technology in China.

It is precisely because of this,Lenovo has also made a great breakthrough in sales,Among the four major brands of state-owned computers,Lenovo ranked last,Successively surpassed the East China Sea、Tide,It is attacking the position of the boss of the Great Wall,And beyond the prospects。

During this time, because of the same concept and direction, the relationship between him and Liu Chuanzhi was intimate.

It stands to reason that when Lenovo has achieved great success in business, the two sides should cherish this rare cooperative relationship even more, and continue to make efforts to expand Lenovo's technological leadership even more, so as to make Lenovo to the next level.

But this is when the disagreement arises.

Ni Guangnan feels that although Lenovo now has a certain technical foundation and a leading edge in technology, it is still far from enough.

The reason is that although Lenovo computers are its own brand, the CPU is Intel's, the operating system is Microsoft's, and most of the core chips are also foreign.

In such a situation, long-term development, especially after becoming bigger, is easy to be stuck by foreign manufacturers.

Therefore, Ni Guangnan believes that Lenovo should develop its own core chips and even design its own operating system.

And he also feels that Lenovo, which has already made a large profit, has the ability to further invest in research and development.

But his idea was met with opposition from Mr. Liu.

Liu Chuanzhi believes that the most important thing for Lenovo now is to expand the scale of the enterprise and continue to expand its market share.

Since CPUs are readily available abroad, and all core chips can also be bought with money, why invest limited technical strength and resources in chip research and operating system research that are difficult to achieve results?

Once such differences arise, they are irreconcilable.

At first, the two sides were relatively restrained, and only argued in a theoretical way.

Slowly, the taste has changed.

Ni Guangnan already clearly felt Liu Chuanzhi's dissatisfaction and neglect of him.

The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

Because the dispute is becoming more and more intense, now the relationship between the two has cracked, and it has reached the point where it is irreconcilable.

This made Ni Guangnan very disheartened.

After careful consideration, Ni Guangnan could only sigh that Liu Chuanzhi's essence was becoming more and more like a businessman, and he had been blinded by short-term interests.

Now, although Wu Xiaozheng extended an olive branch to him, Ni Guangnan was more cautious.

Since even Liu Chuanzhi, who is from a technical background, is becoming more and more a businessman, what about Wu Xiaozheng, who is a businessman himself?

Ni Guangnan had to be cautious.

"I'll have to talk to you about my ideas, and if we can agree on the idea, we'll talk about the next steps. ”

"Yes, if you agree, you will hold hands, and if you don't, you will disperse, this is the basic rule of the game. ”

This is exactly what Wu Xiaozheng wants.

Investing is like marriage, the impulse of the mind may not last long, on the basis of in-depth understanding, compromise and tolerance, abide by certain rules of the game to last.

And the transition from hot to cold between Ni Guangnan and Liu Chuanzhi also reminded him that the cooperative relationship between the two sides can only be stable after the direction of development must be unified in advance and an agreement is reached.

"According to my idea, after the establishment of the R&D center, the main focus will be on chip research and development, and if feasible, it is best to take into account the research and development of operating systems. ”

"Yes, but it must be prioritized, and there must be a clear and feasible direction for research and development. In addition, there is a very important item, that is, the integration of computers and communications. ”

"As for the focus of research and development, mainly on the chip and computer and communication integration of the two projects, the development of the operating system is best to have the mentality of learning and imitation, do not expect it to produce results immediately. ”

To be honest, Wu Xiaozheng is really not interested in the research and development of the operating system.

The reason is that he knows very well that for a long time to come, Microsoft will dominate the world in this area, and no one will be able to break its monopoly.

One step ahead, one step at a time.

That's where the OS side is going.

But he had no intention of giving up completely.

Because in a few years, when smartphones pop up, another operating system will appear, and that is the operating system of mobile phones.

By that time, Apple's operating system was leading in this area, as well as Google's Android system, which even Microsoft could not match, and in China, there were also some operating systems with smaller market shares struggling.

The reason why Wu Xiaozheng has not put the research and development of the operating system into the cold palace is that he is accumulating technology and talents, and is ready to make efforts in advance when the smart phone is launched, so as to seize the opportunity of the mobile phone operating system.

This is another deeply buried chess piece.

Ni Guangnan was surprised by his answer.

He was amazed at how well prepared Wu Xiaozheng was.

He didn't expect that Wu Xiaozheng not only did not object to chips and operating systems, but also added the integration of computers and communications.

And this item is not valued by Liu Chuanzhi in Lenovo.

That's a good thing.

The more prepared Wu Xiaozheng was, the more relieved he became.

If he is not prepared at all and listens to him, he will be very worried.

In this regard, he has already learned his lessons.

When he approached Liu Chuanzhi back then, Liu Chuanzhi said very modestly that everything was up to him in terms of technology, and the result was ......

"You're interested in the convergence of computers and communications?"

"I can tell you unequivocally what I think. Among the three main research directions, the most likely to produce results and benefits is the integration of computer and communication. ”

"And chip research and development, it is likely that it will be difficult to produce results and produce benefits for a long time, but it has to invest vigorously, because even if this piece fails 99 times and only succeeds once, once the success of this time produces benefits, it is far from the benefits generated by assembling PCs. ”

"As for the operating system, Microsoft exists, and I don't expect it to be effective in the short term, what I want is the accumulation of technology and talents, so as to obtain other development opportunities. ”

Wu Xiaozheng said his opinion very bluntly.

It was very surprising to Ni Guangnan.

Is the integration of computers and communications easy to produce benefits?

He agrees, but isn't too sure.

But he admits that Wu Xiaozheng's views in the field of chip research and development are very accurate.

In a hundred attempts, it is likely that only one will succeed, but once successful, the future is immeasurable.

What makes him even happier is that Wu Xiaozheng is mentally prepared to fail 99 times, which shows that he has enough patience in investment and is not hot-headed.

Now that that's the case, let's dive into the details!

Speaking of this, Ni Guangnan was already a little moved.
