138th Cambrian 2007

Zeng Liqing: "I heard that your academic performance has not fallen, how did you do in the college entrance examination?" ”

Wei Dongsheng: "It's okay. ”

Zeng Li Qing didn't mean to drink, so he chatted a few sentences on the topic of the college entrance examination to warm the atmosphere, and immediately urged: "Do you have any plans to come to Shenpeng recently?" ”

Wei Dongsheng refused: "I'm afraid it won't work this month." ”

Zeng Liqing learned a lesson this time, and without waiting for Wei Dongsheng to say the reason for refusal, he took the lead in confessing partly: "That's the case, Tencent is recently preparing to adjust the equity structure and reposition Chunteng Games." Spring and Autumn holds a 15% stake in Tencent, and you are indispensable to the shareholders' meeting. Before the shareholders' meeting, we would like to have a face-to-face and sincere communication with you. ”

Wei Dongsheng thought for a while: "In July, I really can't spare time in June." ”

Zeng Liqing reluctantly said: "What time is it in July?" ”

Wei Dongsheng: "Cambrian 2007, the next generation of supercomputers after Cambrian 2004, will hold a project approval meeting in late June, and I must go to Yanjing to attend this meeting and personally answer questions about its theory and feasibility. The specific time to go to Shenpeng depends on whether the Cambrian 2007 project can be successfully established. ”

Zeng Liqing was puzzled: "Cambrian 2004C is not the end of Cambrian 2004, right?" ”

Wei Dongsheng: "The Cambrian 2004 project does not affect the establishment of the Cambrian 2007 project. You have also heard that the United States has put the chip ban on the agenda, maybe in March, maybe in three years, the United States will completely cut off the business ties between Zhiyu Information Industry and Intel and AMD. In order to maintain the supercomputer business, Zhiyu Information Industry and Zhiyu Integrated Circuit Design are ready to develop their own chips and manufacture their own supercomputers with their own chips. ”

Zeng Liqing sighed: "It's really difficult for our Huaguo to develop, it's backward, and others call you stupid; chased after you, and did everything possible to strangle you. However, Cambrian 2007 is about to be established, why hasn't there been any related news yet? ”

Wei Dongsheng: "The Ministry of Science and Technology regards Cambrian 2007 as a short spear to counter the US chip ban, and it needs to maintain a fighting situation with the United States. Before the official ban in the United States, until the Cambrian 2007 has results, in principle, it will not be promoted. ”

Zeng Liqing: "Alas, this is a state secret." ”

Wei Dongsheng said with a smile: "The mainstream channels don't publicize it, just say it casually in private, otherwise how can the United States know that we will never stand still." ”

Zeng Liqing didn't know the power structure of the Zhiyu series of companies, but he understood the power of the Zhiyu series of companies. Zhiyu series companies have a troika, focusing on supercomputer Zhiyu information industry, focusing on chip design of Zhiyu integrated circuit design, and focusing on MP3, mobile phone and other terminal design Zhiyu technology.

In June 2005, in the top 500 of the world's top 500 supercomputers, 13 supercomputers were developed by Zhiyu information industry.

Zhiyu Technology's first product "YU1" in the MP3 player industry last year was a hit with hundreds of thousands of sales; The "Zhiyu Music" music mobile phone that will be launched this year, thanks to the accumulation of YU1's reputation, is rumored to have pre-sold 300,000 units. a Zhiyu Music, 3650 yuan; 300,000 units, that is, 1.095 billion, a Zhiyu Technology, can match and surpass Tencent.

Zhiyu integrated circuit design company is even more terrifying. The MP3 launched by Zhiyu Technology has only sold hundreds of thousands of copies; Zhiyu Music, the pre-sale order is only 300,000 units, such a scale is worthy of respect, but the influence on the entire MP3 player and the entire mobile phone industry is very limited. The chips launched by Zhiyu Integrated Circuit Design Company, especially the Nation series chips with cheap and beautiful goods, quickly swept the entire Huaguo mobile phone market and even the world market like a huge wave. Zhiyu integrated circuit design is slightly biased to control chip shipments, which can indirectly control the rise and fall of a small and medium-sized mobile phone manufacturer, and more and more mobile phone manufacturers are tied to Zhiyu chariot by the Nation series of chips. Whether it is the excess profit of chip sales or the intangible influence of Zhiyu integrated circuit design, Tencent does not dare to ignore it.

For the country, the value of the Spring and Autumn series of companies is very limited. In addition to the Spring and Autumn Search, online game businesses such as the Spring and Autumn Network are dead and dead. The Spring and Autumn Network died, and network operators such as Shanda and NetEase quickly filled the vacancy, and the Huaguo online game market is still the Huaguo online game market. Spring and Autumn Network cannot affect the life and death of China's online game market on its own, and China cannot rely on the online game industry to lead the 1.3 billion people to rejuvenation.

The value of Zhiyu series companies is completely different, especially the Zhiyu information industry and Zhiyu integrated circuit design, which have involved the national strategic layout. Unless Zhiyu himself dies, the factions in the bureaucracy that believe in the interests of China and the nation will take the initiative to conclude friendly relations with Zhiyu, and then resist the covetousness of other factions and attacks from enemy countries.

Gamers in a room may feel that it is better to concentrate on making a good game than anything else; Based on the broad vision of the world, the people can understand the difference between Spring and Autumn and Zhiyu, and attach importance to Zhiyu better than Spring and Autumn.

Spring and Autumn is not as important as Zhiyu, not to mention Tencent, which is second to Spring and Autumn?

Hearing that Cambrian 2007 is not only the next generation of supercomputers, but also an important part of the fight against the US ban on domestic chips, Zeng Liqing decisively extinguished the idea of persuading Wei Dongsheng to go south: "In July, I will call again. ”

Ending the phone, Huo Yongshan continued the topic: "Zhiyu is preparing to build a supercomputer with domestic chips? ”

Wei Dongsheng replied: "That's right." ”

Huo Yongshan didn't know anything about the chip industry, and suddenly had a wonderful imagination: "Cambrian 2004 2004 is 2004, Cambrian 2007 is said to be released in 2007?" ”

Wei Dongsheng nodded: "If everything goes well, we will be able to see results in 2007." ”

Huo Yongshan continued to imagine: "After 2007, our computers will be able to install Zhiyu CPUs? ”

Wei Dongsheng smiled: "How is it possible." The so-called domestic CPU of the Cambrian 2007 project is a CPU exclusively used for supercomputers, and the civilian market is not considered for the time being. ”

Huo Yongshan hopes to turn disappointment: "Why don't you consider the civilian market?" ”

The answer is incompetence.

In fact, the threshold for CPU and other chip design is not extremely high, and Huaguo can't make the top-notch, but also the mediocre; Intel's x86 instruction set is not so good that it can't be replaced, as if its indefinite length of instructions has led to the fact that a message may be truncated must be considered when changing pages in memory, which has been complained about for a long time. However, with the development of the times, the impact of the instruction set on the performance of the chip has been minimal, the real lifeblood of the chip industry is the ecosystem competition, the success of X86 is the success of Intel and Microsoft, and the success of ARM in the field of mobile phones in the future also depends on the joint promotion of Apple and Google.

The instruction set is easy to do, but the ecosystem is difficult to do.

It's easy to develop a CPU, but it's hard to get all the world's leading manufacturers to support you.

The Loongson project of the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successively launched Loongson No. 1 and Loongson No. 2. In terms of performance data, the Loongson 2C can still make do. However, if Loongson No. 2 is transplanted to the user's computer and the indos system is operated, there is no need to think about it, and the result will definitely be hehehehe The dilemma faced by Zhiyu is also the same, even if it launches high-quality chips that surpass Loongson 2 and even Intel's latest products, it will be constrained by the ecosystem and will be shelved.

Instead of competing with Intel, which has already achieved great success, on the PC side, it is better to accumulate strength and prepare to overtake in the corners and try to get a piece of the pie in the future smartphone market war. Wei Dongsheng understands the threshold of the ecosystem, and also understands that the PC market is close to saturation, and decisively abandons the unrealistic civilian CPU route, and the Cambrian 2007 project only considers the development of dedicated CPUs.

Huo Yongshan and Dong Xi are both laymen, and no matter how much Wei Dongsheng says, they can't understand it.

Wei Dongsheng didn't bother to talk deeply, gave a conclusion in a few words, and immediately ended today's meeting. After bidding farewell to Huo Yongshan, Wei Dongsheng exchanged development opinions with Song Ningxing, the mayor of Panyang City, for a while, and rushed to Yanjing by plane the next day to participate in the establishment of the Cambrian 2007 project.

The Cambrian 2007 project was successfully established, or it should be said that the relevant departments did not pay enough attention to it.

At the national level, there are Loongson of the Computer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is widely known, and Shenwei, which is not yet familiar to the public, led by the 56th General Staff Department. Coordinate Shenhai, the Hanxin incident of Chen Jin, the future famous handicraft expert, has not been exposed at this moment.

Before Zhiyu integrated circuit did not make results, the relevant departments based on the strategic idea of balancing the strong and supporting the weak, considering that Zhiyu's mobile phone chip business had begun to make a profit, was more willing to support the relatively weak Loongson, Hanxin and other layouts. Fortunately, Zhiyu did not expect to rely on national investment in research and development, and Cambrian 2007 had used the profits of MP3 audio decoding chips, mobile phone chips and other chips to start the research and development of Cambrian 2007 supercomputer chips before applying for relevant subsidies.

Zhiyu does not reach out to the state to ask for money, or is not in a hurry to reach out to the country to ask for money, and the establishment of the Cambrian 2007 project will naturally go smoothly.

Just finished the preparations for the Cambrian 2007 project, Wei Dongsheng suddenly received a call from Wei Manman: "Guess, how many points did you score?" ”

Wei Dongsheng realized later: "The results of the college entrance examination have been announced? ”

Wei Manman: "You are so busy, you forgot to announce the results of the college entrance examination today." Well, the website has just been able to check the college entrance examination score online, guess what, how many points did you score? ”

Wei Dongsheng: "About seven hundred and thirty." ”

Wei Manman: "Wrong. ”

Wei Dongsheng: "It's more, it's still less." ”

Wei Manman: "Less." ”

Wei Dongsheng: "Haha, it seems that the Chinese teacher who marked the paper thought that my paper was clean and leniently judged more marks." ”

Wei Manman sold Guan Zi for a while, and took the initiative to report the answer: "744 points, your college entrance examination score is 744 points." 144 points in Chinese, 150 points in English, 150 points in mathematics, and 300 points in science. Not only did you refresh the record of our school, but also the record of Hedong Province. The news flash report on the Internet said that the second place in Hedong Province was only 686 points, and you were left behind by 58 points, which is simply heartbreaking. The first place in the province threw the second place in the province so far away, and it was the first time since Hedong Province resumed the college entrance examination. ”
