The Spring Festival has not yet ended in the capital, it seems that it is still full of joy, there are still a few days before the Lantern Festival, everywhere is covered with red and hanging colors, sitting in the car, inadvertently looking up, a huge advertisement occupying the side of the entire office building came into Lin Zheng's eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the eve of the New Year, Lianchuang Technology released a strategic model: a built-in 110,000-pixel camera, 65536 colors, and a color screen mobile phone equipped with Linux operating system, with a huge color screen and camera that are particularly eye-catching.

Seeing this advertisement, Lin Zheng unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

Wu Yuying, who was sitting on Lin Zheng's left, saw the smile on Lin Zheng's face, and said with a smile: "From the release of the year ago to the present, we have sold more than 220,000 units of this mobile phone across the country, even if it is the New Year, the daily shipment can almost reach 6,000 units, and the market is very hot." ”

"How can it be?" Lin Zheng was really attracted by Wu Yuying's words, and said in surprise: "The price of more than 9,000 yuan is not cheap." ”

In this era when black and white screen mobile phones are still the mainstream of the market, color screen mobile phones are still high-end goods, the camera is still a rare thing, no one cares that the current mobile phone camera is external, they care more about the mobile phone can also take pictures? Nima is too tall, okay? To put it mildly, Lianchuang Technology's mobile phone has exceeded most people's perception of mobile phones, but the fact that mobile phones can install software like computers has not caused much sensation: Aren't all high-end mobile phones of Lianchuang Technology able to install software like on a computer?

But in any case, a mobile phone with a market price of more than 9,000 is destined to be a niche model, and a large part of the sales that can achieve such high sales a year ago come from government procurement - how can leaders not master high technology? It's one thing to not know how to use it, but if such an advanced mobile phone is not purchased by the leader, it is definitely a dereliction of duty on the part of the staff - but isn't this the end of the New Year? How can there be such a high sales volume?

"Isn't it cheap," Wu Yuying nodded, at the beginning of 2002, a mobile phone of more than 9,000 yuan was not cheap in any way, she explained to Lin Zheng: "But who made this the world's first 3.5-inch full-color, with camera function." Just rush this gimmick, and a lot of people will buy it. ”

Wu Yuying has not yet said another meaning: there is absolutely no shortage of rich people in the capital.

"It's also ......" thought about it, and Lin Zheng also smiled.

It's not 10 years ago or even 5 years ago, and there are more and more rich people. 5 years ago, a TV series of "Walking with Millionaires" also attracted widespread discussion in the society, in the eyes of the people, millionaires are almost the ultimate goal of life, but since around 2000, the resource of "multimillionaires" has begun to appear more and more in the mouth of the media and ordinary people: in just a few years, people's horizons have increased by 10 times.

"Boss. I heard some voices that seemed to be the inevitable intention of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to cooperate with us this time. As soon as the topic changed, Wu Yuying said.

"Oh? Tell me," Lin Zheng frowned: "What do you mean that it is inevitable?" ”

The cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the reason why Lin Zheng came to the capital during the Chinese New Year: the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences intends to cooperate with Lianchuang Technology in the fields of VLSI design and development, computer technology, and the market application of semiconductor chips, in addition, there is also an important purpose. The Chinese Academy of Sciences hopes that Lianchuang Technology can support the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on Loongson CPUs.

That's right, the main purpose is still for Loongson.

In May last year, the Loongson research group was formally established, but after the establishment of the Loongson research group, they quickly found an embarrassing problem: they were confident to win the "Chinese core" of Loongson. But it seems that the market does not recognize them.

As the world's third largest personal computer foundry and the second largest domestic market share of personal computer brand manufacturers, Lianchuang Technology has actually exploded the leader of the domestic personal computer field in many fields such as technical level, industrial design, production capacity and market grasp, as the only company in China with a complete computer industry chain, it is natural for the Institute of Computing Technology to focus on Lianchuang Technology, which Lin Zheng can imagine, but from Wu Yuying's words, he heard something different.

However, isn't this the reason why I arranged for Wu Yuying to go to the Institute of Computing Technology with me?

"I just heard the rumors," Wu Yuying said first, and then continued: "I said that the conditions at the Institute of Computing Technology are relatively difficult. I hope we can be more considerate of them and give them more support in the industrialization of Loongson. ”

Lin Zheng's brows immediately furrowed.

This remark of the Institute of Computing Technology does not seem to be a problem in rough sound, as the only central processing unit development institution of the Chinese. Loongson has placed too many people's hopes on it, and it is okay for everyone to support them more, and it should be, but the words of the Institute of Computing Technology are clearly preparing to turn their fortunes from Lianchuang Technology.

"What else did they say?" After thinking about it, Lin Zheng asked again.

"I didn't say anything. However, some experts, scholars and government officials have expressed their hope that we will support the Loongson project more, and some are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ”

"I hope we can support the Loongson project more?" Lin Zheng didn't laugh angrily, he was amused by these guys: "Those experts don't mention what they learn, those academicians and officials, why don't they crook the pen in their hands and give more money to the Loongson research group?" What the country and the government do, it's just a shame to let our company do it, and they are embarrassed to stand aside and watch the excitement with an innocent face? ”

Wu Yuying pursed her lips disdainfully: "Selling your mouth and using money from your pocket to earn a good reputation, who wouldn't be happy with such a good opportunity?" Who doesn't feel distressed when they really take out real money from their own bags? ”

"Hehe......" laughed twice, and Lin Zheng stopped talking.

Lin Zheng didn't speak, which in itself represented the meaning of Lianchuang Technology on this matter, and Wu Yuying's heart suddenly became dark: It's comfortable to sell your mouth, right? This time it's enough to make you comfortable!

………………………………

When he arrived at the Institute of Computing Technology, Hu Wei, the chief designer of "Loongson" and the leader of the research group, was already waiting at the gate of the institute with the developers of the entire research group.

Lin Zheng hurriedly got out of the car, walked a few steps quickly and held Hu Wei's hand: "Everyone is so busy with work, everyone is really ...... It's so enthusiastic, what's so embarrassing about that? ”

Holding Lin Zheng's hand tightly, Hu Wei laughed and said: "Mr. Lin, what you said is not right, you are our most honored guest, knowing that you are coming, not only colleagues from our research group are here, but also colleagues from other departments in the hospital have also come." ”

Really! Only then did Lin Zheng notice that there were more people at the gate of the Institute of Computing Technology, but there were not so many people in the Loongson research group. Shaking his head, Lin Zheng said with a wry smile: "I'm late, I'm ashamed, let everyone wait for a long time." ”

The scheduled meeting time with the Institute of Computing Technology is half past 9, and now it's actually only 9:10, no matter what, it can't be said that Lin Zheng is late, of course, the people at the Institute of Computing Technology will not really think that Lin Zheng is late, Hu Wei smiled politely, and said: "What did Mr. Lin say, let's make an appointment to meet at half past nine, now ......" He raised his wrist to look at the time, and then said: "It's only a little more than 9:10, come on, come on, please come in." ”

"Chief Master Hu, can you tell me about our Loongson research group? To be honest, although I have long heard of the name of our Loongson research group, I know very little about the situation of our research group. After a while of greetings, Lin Zheng said with a smile.

"Yes, even if Mr. Lin doesn't ask, we have to say it," Hu Wei didn't have much bureaucratic habits, listening to Lin Zheng want to know about the situation of the Loongson research group, pushed his glasses, and said: "The establishment of the Loongson research group is in the needs of the national strategy, with the development of science and technology, the independent ability of the chip is crucial to the country's information security and even the overall strategic security, we Chinese cannot do without their own central processing unit, in this context, The Loongson research group was formally established with the support of the Knowledge Innovation Project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Because of the blockade of the U.S. government, Loongson adopts a MIPS pipeline architecture based on a reduced instruction set, on August 19, 2001, the Loongson No. 1 design and verification system successfully launched the Linux operating system, and on October 10, it successfully passed the appraisal organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, if everything goes well, the first chip is expected to be successfully developed this fall......"

Speaking of this, Hu Wei suddenly patted his head: "Mr. Lin, if I remember correctly, Mr. LinuxTorvalds, the inventor of the Linux system, has a cooperative relationship with your company, right?" Could you please invite Mr. LinuxTorvalds to visit us? ”

The so-called access, in fact, is guidance, at the beginning of the design, Loongson is destined not to use the x86 architecture, can not use the x86 architecture is naturally doomed to not be able to run the Windows operating system, the open source Linux operating system has become the only choice of "Loongson", in this case, if the Loongson research group can get the technical optimization and support of the inventor of the Linux operating system, I believe it can save a lot of time.

As soon as Hu Wei's voice fell, not only the eyes of the people in the Loongson research group lit up, but also the eyes of the leaders of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who came to participate in this meeting: Yes! Can you ask linuxtorvalds to help...... Oh no, visit, why didn't you think of it before? (To be continued.) )
