Chapter 653: A New Way Out (Part II)
Lu An thought for a while and asked, "Now that the industrial alliance has been formed, is there any information, the output of knowledge?"
Rebus spread his hands, "Mr. Lu, we are not a big guy like you, the output of these things is not so fast, and it has been less than half a month since the alliance was officially formed!"
Lu An waved his hand, "That's empty, I'll give the alliance some knowledge." β
The tone is very understated.
Not to mention, Rebus just waited for this sentence, "Then you can say it, the big guy in the alliance is waiting for you President Lu to speak." β
You may not believe it when you say it, but people with real foresight can see that Lu An's knowledge reserve and the height of his gaze are unique.
They can all see the natural excellence of Lu An.
Therefore, Lu An's proposal at the Industrial Base Summit at that time, in the eyes of many people, would be supported by so many bigwigs.
Lu An waved his hand, "It's a small thing, but I've been a little busy lately, and I have to sort it out, and it will take half a month." β
This kind of mess, the garbage system is the best at it.
You don't have to think too much about that.
"If the cultivation of the industrial base is fast enough, I even wonder if we should start the development of independent and controllable advanced lithography processes. β
Lu An said again.
Rebus's expression moved slightly, "Our country's research in this field has lasted for so many years, and it has not been able to output products that can keep up with the times. β
INDEED, ALTHOUGH AN0 USES 7NM LITHOGRAPHY PRODUCTION LINES, IN FACT, THE RESEARCH PROCESS OF DOMESTIC LITHOGRAPHY, ESPECIALLY LITHOGRAPHY MACHINES, HAS BEEN AT THE LEVEL OF ABOUT 64NM.
This kind of high-tech product has always been on the embargoed list, and there is only one that Rebus can get back, and the production capacity can't go up, let alone the favors that go in.
In addition, the emergence of AN0 7NM will make foreign countries completely embargo high-end lithography machines in Huaxia.
The whole process of lithography is very complicated, the only thing that can be used in China is the etching machine, and the domestic chip processor has not been able to appear Excellent products have something to do with this, or that sentence, when the design and preparation are separated, even Apple Qualcomm can not guarantee the excellence of the product.
Lu An pondered for a moment, "The problem of talent is actually related to the environment, not necessarily not, let's take a look at the progress of the alliance first." β
............

The topic pulled back from the industrial union to the development of Xiaomi itself.
"My idea is to release the next generation of new products around March next year, only then can we gradually establish a really good brand impression, and at least curb the influence of Apple products in the pan-Asian region. β
Rebus looked at Lu An as he spoke, "Do you have any good suggestions at this point, you are the CTO of Xiaomi, and you have the most right to speak." β
Lu An has also considered this problem, "Xiaomi's industrial designers are still very good, in this regard, I will not be ugly, we have not finished the excavation of AN0 7NM." I don't expect the 5NM production line to appear until at least 2020, so the next generation of AN0 design will also be based on 7NM, but in my conception, the next generation of products must be taken into account:
Artificial intelligence. β
As perhaps the only person in the world who has been exposed to multiple forms of artificial intelligence, Lu An has the most say in artificial intelligence.
The trend of dotting the technology tree, the same path, will eventually return to the ultimate pursuit of artificial intelligence, although bigwigs like Hawking have always opposed the complete emergence of artificial intelligence, because it will not be controlled.
However, the emergence of strong artificial intelligence is not so simple.
Therefore, the so-called artificial intelligence now only has a certain data analysis ability that is different from the past, and the thinking ability will be relatively weak.
Even the primary level of artificial intelligence that Lu An got is the same, the degree of excellence will be higher, but it will not be omnipotent.
A truly excellent artificial intelligence should be like the initial state of the little mystery, although the current little mystery is more omnipotent, but she is human.
"Artificial intelligence is the development trend of science and technology,In my knowledge reserve,Not only the support of hardware,There is also the support of software,To a certain extent,Our Xiaoai classmates developed by Xiaomi are also a trend of artificial intelligenceγ Lu An said simply.
Commended Xiaomi engineers for their efforts on MIUI-Y.
The level of MIUI-Y's voice assistant is already quite high, and Xiaomi's engineers can launch Xiao Ai, who has been very popular recently, on this basis, which is also an improvement. β
Rebus said with a smile, "It's rare for Mr. Lu to praise him so much, Xiao Ai's R&D team is worth a bonus." β
Xiaomi's native team rarely gets Lu An's praise, and Rebus can understand that the gap is indeed too big.
If it can be better, he can also see the future of Xiaomi more clearly, and he will not think about the operation of going public.
Lu An continued, "Set up a new department in Xiaomi Lab to develop a new operating system! It must be a new department, those previous ideas and even some unnecessary explorations must be abandoned, and the formation of the R&D team You have to go to the country's science and technology universities to find a group, pay attention to the novelty and height of thinking, and your own ability can be slightly relaxed." β
Rebus didn't know why, "Hasn't Xiaomi always had its own operating system R&D team? MIUI is very good." β
Lu An smiled, "You didn't notice a key word, a brand new operating system, which means, not based on Android's native system." β
It's difficult for Rebus's eyes to be small, and his eyes are still not big enough to widen half a circle and half a circle, "Mr. Lu, are you serious?"
Lu An waved his hand, "Don't think too much, I also look at Xiaomi's profitability, so I have such a plan, it shouldn't be possible to get it out at the domestic level in a short time, don't think about the next generation of new products." β
The implication is that the next generation of the next generation will be fine.
Rebus was serious at the time, "Mr. Lu, I personally grasp this project, no matter how much money is invested, I will not stop." β
If he were a fool, he would not have tied Lu An to Xiaomi's chariot in exchange for shares, or he was afraid that the shares would be less, so with Lu An's words, he would be happy to invest as much as he wanted.
Lu An never speaks in vain, and no one knows this as well as he Rebus.
From a valuation of $46 billion to a valuation of $230 billion, it can be said that it has nothing to do with his Rebus half a dime, and it is completely Lu An who has taken a fancy to Xiaomi's partner.
So Rebus is willing to give it a go, this is not a bicycle to a motorcycle!
Lu An nodded, "I hope this matter will be done by Xiaomi, the kind that doesn't make a noise, you may need to seconded people from the two academies, and I will arrange it when the time comes." β
As for the next generation of products, it will basically not be the kind with a particularly large span.
The chip will not be updated, it will only be a full series of AN0 7NM, but the update in other aspects will be relatively large, the mining of the chip, the further excavation of MIUI-Y, coupled with excellent industrial design, will basically be a generation of excellent products, maybe it will be crowned with the suffix of S, which means an upgraded version.
At least, the initial plan is like this, and it will definitely not be the kind of iPhone 7 to iPhone 8, there is no change at all.
Xiaomi's native reserves are still very high, and there will be a lot of exciting operations.
Lu An looked at the time and declined the invitation to have lunch with Rebus, "There are still people waiting for me at home." β
Rebus showed the kind of smile that all men understand, "Mr. Lu is young and affectionate!"
"Speaking of which, I got engaged in Shonan on the 27th of next month, and Lei always remembers to appreciate his face. Lu An then remembered the invitation he had planned to send to Rebus today.
Rebus nodded hurriedly, "That can't be forgotten." β
When Lu An left Xiaomi's headquarters, he took a supplementary contract, and Lu An took a stake in technology and obtained 10 percent of the shares.
Well, the new ten percent.
Effective date: January 1, 2018.
Before that, Lu An needs to provide Xiaomi with some knowledge.
Rebus actually didn't care at all, this clause was added by Lu An when he saw Rebus take out this contract that originally had no time limit.
Rebus said at the time, "Others wish they could take away the shares of Xiaomi from me without paying anything, you are good, you have to give a greater return every time you send it to the door." β
Lu An just smiled and didn't speak.
When it comes to money, he has more say than Majack, and he can say with absolute certainty that I have no interest in money in my life!
(1): That's why there will be an operation to travel through parallel time and space at the beginning, and a lot of things that I accidentally forgot to write, I can insert different points in time at any time, right?

Set the bowls.
There are always big guys urging me to change, making me feel like a best-selling author, and I am trembling in the streets.
