No. 123: Support fellow travelers within the scope of their ability

Wei Dongsheng's honor in the field of supercomputers is not that he doesn't know how to pretend to lose his conclusions, let alone simply plagiarism.

Considering the important role of supercomputers in the intelligent life of computers, Wei Dongsheng sincerely learned and worked hard to learn, and he also learned and understood. Wei Dongsheng has already understood all the theories he has come up with. This knowledge is already Wei Dongsheng's knowledge. Knowledge is knowledge, and what I understand is what I understand. Therefore, Wei Dongsheng is open to the honor in the field of supercomputers.

However, the impact of heterogeneous supercomputers in the field of scientific research is relatively limited. Even if Wei Dongsheng wins the honor of Cambrian 2004, there is no possibility of being selected for the Nobel Prize, and the Turing Award, known as the "Nobel Prize in the computer industry", will not open the door to Wei Dongsheng. The reason is very simple, scientific research is divided into academia and industry, and the academic community focuses more on theoretical innovation, and whether the things made can be practically applied is not the first consideration; Industry is more focused on practical applications and needs stable products that can be mass-produced, products that can only survive in the laboratory and cannot be considered for industrial applications at all.

The success of Cambrian 2004 is the success of industry.

Wei Dongsheng's research is more inclined to industry.

Take, for example, the Turing Award.

The 2004 winners were Vinton_Cert and Robert_Kahn known as the "Father of the Internet" for proposing the TCP/IP protocol and the basic architecture of the Internet in 1973.

The 2003 winner was Alan_kay, and the 2001 winner was Ole_Johan_dahl, Kristen_Nygaard, _Johan_dahl, and Kristen_Nygaard developed Simula67, which is considered the first object-oriented language; The Smalltalk-80 language developed Alan_kay is considered to be the purest object-oriented language. There is no need to talk nonsense about the importance of object-oriented languages, and the famous creation artifact C++ is an extension of object-oriented programming technology.

Although the barriers between academia and industry in the field of computer science are not deep, and the circulation far exceeds that of physics, biology and other fields, the difference between academia and industry is still very obvious. Wei Dongsheng's previous well-established BitTorrent protocol has made stronger historical contributions than Cambrian 2004 honors. Because the theory of heterogeneous computing has been proposed for a long time, Wei Dongsheng only perfected it and verified it, making Cambrian 2004A and Cambrian 2004B industrial products capable of mass production.

Of course, the power of Cambrian 2004 does not stop at heterogeneous computing. For example, Wei Dongsheng's knowledge obtained by relying on computer intelligent life assistance is very groundbreaking, and if he goes deeper into the research, he will definitely be able to set off a huge wave in the computer software and hardware industry. It's a pity that these core technologies are either listed as core secrets by the intelligent universe or listed as core technologies by the Chinese government, and Xiao Lei's team cannot be made public in a short period of time and cannot be relied on to make a name for themselves.

Although Cambrian 2004 will not be as high as the Nobel Prize or the Turing Award, Cambrian 2004B is, after all, the world's number one supercomputer, and its influence must not be ignored. In the past two months, Xiao Lei's name has frequently appeared in the directories of international academic conferences and journals recommended by the China Computer Federation (CCF), and Xiao Lei will also publish some papers that do not involve key secrets to communicate with peers as appropriate.

Wei Dongsheng is willing to study hard, but he is not willing to waste time attending international academic conferences. The reason is very simple, the content of the so-called international academic conference has long been detected by supercomputers such as cyanobacteria and copied to Wei Dongsheng for reading. Even if some content leaks through the network for various reasons, Wei Dongsheng can also communicate with Xiao Lei's team for a second time to learn and absorb it.

During Xiao Lei's rapid rise to fame, Wei Dongsheng's name was added to his papers, and based on the specific degree of participation, Wei Dongsheng was either the first author or the second author. During the period from Cambrian 2004A to Cambrian 2004B, there were as many as 17 papers signed by Wei Dongsheng, and the three characters of Wei Dongsheng were also slowly spread in academia and industry. Wei Dongsheng only does research and does not participate in academic conferences for peer exchanges, and if he wants to meet Wei Dongsheng, he can only visit the Intelligent Universe Information Industry Research Center in person, which is already an anecdote in the industry.

Wei Dongsheng has long been famous, and the network radiated by Xiao Lei's team has long known that Wei Dongsheng, who led the Cambrian 2004 project, is the billionaire Wei Dongsheng. The reason why this news was ignored by public opinion at that time was first of all the unconfident mentality of the Chinese people, the first time they heard that Cambrian 2004A won the fifth honor in the world, and subconsciously doubted whether it was a gimmick of scientific research fraud; Second, the influence of Cambrian 2004A takes time to build.

The second round of focus in November 2004 was different, with Wei Dongsheng's billionaire worth being endorsed by Forbes; The honor of Cambrian 2004A and Cambrian 2004B has the credibility endorsement of the Top500 institutions, and there has been no fraud scandal exposed in the past six months; After further in-depth tracking, it was found that Wei Dongsheng had already been on the list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2004 published by Time Magazine.

Forbes and Time magazine have both endorsed Wei Dongsheng's credibility.

One clue after another was threaded into a string, and public opinion followed it according to the map, and it was shocked to find that Wei Dongsheng of the intelligent universe information industry and Wei Dongsheng of Spring and Autumn Software were the same person, and Wei Dongsheng's achievements were far more powerful than the public imagined.

Wei Dongsheng is not the kind of all-round genius who can sing, paint, know football and swim, and all Wei Dongsheng's achievements are concentrated in the computer industry. The BitTorrent protocol also has some faint relevance to high-speed interconnected networks for high-performance computers, as both are studying how efficiently nodes can be interconnected with each other. Three hundred and sixty lines, each line is not lacking in geniuses, public opinion is surprised by Wei Dongsheng's achievements, but they can reluctantly accept Wei Dongsheng's achievements.

In November 2004, Wei Dongsheng turned from the image of a "young billionaire who got rich" to the image of a "young wizard who got rich through technology".

Taking advantage of the upsurge of public opinion, Wei Dongsheng once again supported Song Ningxing: "The coastal cities can develop well without me, but the vast central and western inland of the motherland obviously lacks the drive of economic growth. Mayor Song Ningxing and Mayor Song said that I was moved by the fact that I returned to Panyang City to invest, which is not only to repay the kindness of my hometown, but also to respond to the country's strategic plan for the development of the central and western regions. Wisdom Universe Information Industry Co., Ltd. has reached an agreement with Chunqiu Search, Chunqiu Network, and Zhuwei Company to build a supercomputing center with a total computing capacity of at least petaflops per second in Panyang City to serve the intelligent industry. ”

At the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005, Wei Dongsheng was busy standing for Song Ningxing.

Since Wei Dongsheng is not angry with certain social phenomena, he must support Song Ningxing who dares to show his sword within the scope of his ability.

The turning point was not long in coming.

In December 2004, the secretary of the Hedong Provincial Party Committee was transferred to another province, and his successor was a lieutenant with no grassroots experience. However, this is good news for Song Ningxing. The former secretary of the provincial party committee has a deep background and great prospects, and for his own future, he is very likely to kill Song Ningxing with the power of Mount Tai like the four generations; The successor is different, this person has been in retreat all his life, his foundation is very weak, and although he has been parachuted into a provincial governor, he has reached the limit of his ability.

If he wants to move Song Ningxing, he must also have the ability to move.

As expected, the new secretary of the provincial party committee of Hedong Province arrived, and more things are better than less attitudes to stop holding Song Ningxing accountable.

Perhaps, Song Ningxing has survived this crisis.

Wei Dongsheng's investment pledge was not a bluff support, and Song Ningxing was sure to survive the first round of crisis, but instead of delaying the implementation of investment, it accelerated the pace of construction.

In other words, perhaps thanks to the advantages of online and offline cooperation, the first MP3 player produced by Zhiyu Technology has become a hit. By the end of November, the total number of orders for the "YU1" MP3 player had exceeded 300,000 units.

At the same time, due to the "YU1" MP3 player products, the audio decoding chip produced by Zhiyu Integrated Circuit Design Company has also been widely trusted by manufacturers with excellent quality.

Zhiyu Integrated Circuit Design Co., Ltd. has launched two chips, one is the high-end product Leader401, which is used in "YU1". Due to the high price and the fact that the brand has not yet been established, the flagship products of Meizu and other manufacturers would rather buy other audio decoding chips at a high price than take the risk of trying the Leader401.

The other is the low-end product Nation402, which is cheap and beautiful, and is suitable for MP3 players at the level of 200 yuan to 500 yuan. A large number of OEM manufacturers favor the low-grade chip Nation402, resulting in Nation's order volume soaring from 0 to 170,000 in November, and the order volume in December soaring to 840,000. The foundry shipped here, and the manufacturer was sold out there, and it was a hot mess.

Chip manufacturing technology is difficult, and shipments can only depend on negotiations with foundries. The technical difficulty of the assembly plant is low, so Zhuwei Company has rapidly expanded its scale through investment and acquisition, and the Panyang branch is also in full swing and included in the construction. When Wei Dongsheng drove home in December, the Panyang Economic Development Zone, centered on Shikang Village, frequently saw engineering vehicles coming and going.

When Wei Dongsheng saw Wei's father, he found that Wei's father was full of tangled expressions.

The reason is very simple, Dad Wei already knows part of the truth.

During November, the paper media reported one after another, and Wei's father was slow to wake up to how strong the Spring and Autumn Software was. In the past, when the copyright transfer agreement was signed, the terms that Wei's father and Wei's mother kept in mind were "Wei Dongsheng obtained 30% of the equity of Spring and Autumn Software and 5 million yuan of copyright money". Wei's father and Wei's mother were shallow, and they were dazzled by Jin Zhen, who signed a contract of 5 million yuan on the spot, so they ignored the 30% equity that could not be quantitatively analyzed. When the media focused on Wei Dongsheng's rise to the void valuation of Spring and Autumn Software, Wei's father and Wei Ma suddenly woke up: 30% of the equity of Spring and Autumn Software turned out to be the biggest wealth, and 5 million yuan in cash was not even a dime.

Referring to the valuation of Spring and Autumn Software in the media, Wei Dongsheng's 30% stake may be as much as one billion US dollars, far higher than the 300 million US dollars valuation of Forbes.

Billion dollars!

RMB 8,276.5 million.

You must know that the GDP of Panyang City in 2003 was only more than 30 billion!

Panyang City has a registered population of 8.6 million and a GDP of just over 30 billion, while Wei Dongsheng alone has a net worth of 8.2 billion.
