Chapter 237: Crawl on the ground and wipe away the shame on the motherland!
My greatest wish in life is to crawl on the ground and wipe away the shame of the motherland!
Qin Feng's mind echoed with this sentence, and he was also very excited, he didn't want to get involved in the chip field so early, after all, he wasn't ready, but now, when he heard that Liu Yang was actually a relative of the most respected chip veteran, Qin Feng couldn't hide the heat in his heart.
He wants to go to Huang Lao, he wants to invite Huang Lao out of the mountain! In the future, the money matter will be solved by himself, and Huang Lao only needs to be responsible for designing the chip!
Huang Lao's childhood was spent in the war, when she was young, she once squeezed in the air-raid shelter, watching her compatriots outside being killed by the enemy, she set up a lofty ideal in her heart: to contribute her life to the strength of the motherland!
When she was in junior high school, she almost dropped out of school because she couldn't pay the tuition, and later went to school for free with the help of the leader.
In her life, she began to deal with semiconductors, she led the team to establish the first semiconductor laboratory in China, she and her companions developed semiconductor diodes, semiconductor transistors, and continued to enter the chip.
Dongfang's chip research and development is not lagging behind, and even synchronized with the world in some fields, but, by the end of 84, with the country's economic transformation, investment in large-scale integrated circuits was stopped, at that time, she didn't know how she got out of the south building, and when she got to a place where there was no one, she cried bitterly.
Since then, the country no longer studies large-scale integrated circuits, and the people who make computers do not know how the chip operates inside, for them, the chip they are facing is already a blind box, they only know how to use it, but they don't know the internal structure and principle!
After the cancellation of the large-scale integrated circuit project, Huang Lao went to work in the microelectronics center, and in the past few years, in her spare time, she would think of chips, which was a pain in her heart.
The country wants to develop the economy, and the money-burning projects must be stopped, but if you don't engage in chips, then you will be completely outdated in the future!
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door outside, Huang Lao retracted his thoughts and stood up from the front of the computer: "Who?" ”
"Me, aunt!" Liu Yang's voice sounded.
"Come in, the door isn't closed." Huang Lao's eyes continued to look at the computer, still thinking about the next work, and he didn't pay much attention to the people who walked in outside.
"Xiaohu is here too? You're both in a relationship, right? Frequent in and out of the same ...... Hey, who is this? Huang Lao found that there was a young man, and he was very curious: "Is it your classmate?" ”
Qin Feng is very young, just like a classmate of the two.
"Auntie, this is Mr. Qin of the Pacific Group, and he has made a special trip to visit you." Liu Yang's face turned red slightly, yes, he was often with Hu Miaomiao, but the layer of window paper between the two had not been pierced.
"Oh, Mr. Qin?" Huang Lao put down the work in his hand and looked at Qin Feng: "Mr. Qin, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”
Over the years, the country's economy has been developing, the form of enterprises is also changing, and there are CEOs everywhere...... Huang Lao didn't have a good impression of such a person.
At a young age, he is a boss, and he must be those people in society who do not do their jobs properly and do not work in a down-to-earth manner......
"Huang Lao, I'm here to invite you to go out of the mountain and develop chips."
Huang Lao's eyes widened: "What did you say?" R&D chips? ”
At this time, Huang Lao was not excited, but was just surprised, research and development of chips, what a huge system project this is! It takes the power of the whole country to do it, and the country will stop the research and development of VLSI because of lack of funds! The person in front of him, the CEO of the Pacific Group, actually wants to engage in chips?
"Yes, R&D chips." Qin Feng nodded: "Some of our projects under the Pacific Group need advanced chips, and we still use our own chips the safest, so we decided to enter the chip field and develop chips by ourselves." ”
It's not just this quadcopter drone that needs chips, it's also the quadruped robot that has been started last year, as well as the human exoskeleton, which all need chips! Relying on foreign procurement of chips is not insured, so simply make up the chips yourself!
"Mr. Qin, do you know how much it will cost to develop chips?" Huang Lao is still not excited, the issue of money is the most important, I don't know what the young man in front of him thinks, maybe it's just a hot head, and after considering the huge amount of money that needs to be spent on project research and development, it should be doused by a basin of cold water.
The young man in front of him is still too young!
"Yes." Qin Feng nodded: "Our group plans to invest 10 million in advance as the start-up capital of the project, and after the project is officially launched, the logical design will run successfully on the FPGA verification platform and transfer to the detailed design, and we will continue to invest funds, and within three years, we expect a total investment of 100 million." If it is not enough, we will continue to make additional funds. ”
Huang Lao's eyes widened, invest 10 million first, and invest 100 million in three years? What is the identity of the other party? This Pacific group has so much money? Huang Lao has long passed the age of being fooled away by others with a few words, she looked at Liu Yang and Hu Miaomiao with puzzled eyes, is what Mr. Qin said true?
"Auntie, the Pacific Group is super rich, last year, it earned 100 million US dollars in foreign exchange through exports, and it was reported in the newspapers and TV at that time, and the Tianxia motorcycle under the Pacific Group was even more famous and popular all over the country, if others said that they would invest 100 million, they might be joking, but Mr. Qin said so, then it will definitely be done!"
How could Mr. Qin lie!
Huang Lao continued to look at Qin Feng, looking at his handsome face with a smile.
"Huang Lao, in foreign countries, chip research and development are developed by the company, and there is no need for the state to intervene, we want to rely on the power of the state to promote chip research and development, which is contrary to the law of the market and the development of chips." Qin Feng said: "If you want to develop chips, you can only rely on our private enterprises, and our advantages are huge. ”
"What advantages?"
"No approval required." Qin Feng said: "How much money you want, how much money you can get at any time, as long as you aim in the direction, we will keep throwing money!" We want time! You're in the chip business, you should know Moore's Law, right? ”
Gordon Moore proposed in 1965 that the number of transistors that could fit in an integrated circuit would double approximately every 18 to 24 months. Put simply, the performance of the chip doubles roughly every two years, while the price drops to half of what it used to be.
This is like a leather whip, whipping every chip research and development company, telling them that they must continue to research chip technology, otherwise they will fall behind!
What about the East?
Any R&D plan in the East needs to be approved by the superiors, and the superiors do not understand Moore's Law, they have to hold meetings to discuss, they have to do all kinds of risk assessments, R&D plan approval, there is no three or five months can not be done, the R&D plan is approved, and they have to wait for funds, and the funds are not in place, or they can't start researching.
Relying on this efficiency, how can we compete with foreign companies?
Chip design is like this, chip production is even more so, take the 908 project as an example, 90 years when it was decided to introduce, at that time it was still aimed at the world's advanced level, but it took 2 years to approve the funding, and it took 3 years to introduce the 0.9 micron production line from Lucent in the United States.
Look at the chip giants in the world, whether it is Samsung or TSMC, they are all private companies, just do what they say, even if R&D can drag down the enterprise, they are gritting their teeth, they don't dare to slack off at all, and there will not be so many laymen pointing fingers.
"Yes, when it comes to chips, what we lack is the attitude of unity, and the lack of efficiency to do what we say." Huang Lao nodded: "Mr. Qin, what chip do you plan to develop?" ”
Chips are also divided into many kinds, including general-purpose processors, memory, logic controllers, single-chip microcomputers and so on.
"At present, we can't develop professional chips, and we still have to start with general-purpose processors." Qin Feng said: "We first developed a general-purpose processor! ”
Professional drones need to use professional chips, if you only develop special chips for drones, the audience is relatively small, even if it can be profitable, it can't be rolled out, so Qin Feng still thinks that the potential of general-purpose processors is greater.
"Mr. Qin, do you mean a chip like Intel 386?" Huang Lao's eyes lit up, this kind of processor is also what she wants to do the most, only by developing a general-purpose processor, will not be controlled by others, when engaging in scientific research, you can also use your own products to develop new products.
Qin Feng nodded.
Huang Lao's face was excited for a while, but after a while, he calmed down again: "However, we don't have the authorization of the x86 instruction set, this work is difficult, we may be authorized through a third party." ”
If you want to develop a processor, you have to determine what instruction set to use, which is the language used by the processor to interact with the outside world, and only if the language is clear, it can work.
When Intel was engaged in 8086, it created a set of instruction sets, which were authorized to some manufacturers, but there was absolutely no Oriental share.
"We develop our own instruction set." Qin Feng said: "Even if we are authorized by the x86 instruction set, we will still be controlled by others, and it is most appropriate to develop it ourselves." ”
The instruction set is constantly evolving, and in the multimedia era, the multimedia instruction set will be increased, and when it reaches 64 bits, there will be 64-bit instruction sets, even if the existing instruction set is licensed, as long as Intel does not authorize the new instruction set, it will not be able to play at all.
Now develop your own, avoid being controlled by others, and besides, this year is only 88 years! Personal computers have not yet been rolled out in China, the combination of Intel and Microsoft has not yet occupied the market, and the DOS system is still used on the microcomputer, so now seize the opportunity to make the Orientals' own chips completely rise!
"It's a big project!" Huang Lao said.
"That's right, that's why you need to preside, Huang Lao, you can also invite people who share your beliefs to come together." Qin Feng said: "We, the Pacific Group, will set up a special company...... It's called Loongson, and the processor we produce is called Loongson! ”
Qin Feng didn't bother to think about the name anymore, anyway, there would already be the most suitable name in the future generations.
Godson!
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Huang Lao's heart rippled, she seemed to see the future of the motherland's chips, and saw a large number of computers preparing Loongson, she took a deep breath: "Okay, Mr. Qin, I am willing to join you!" ”
Huang Lao is in her fifties, in the past, she has been in the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and later came to the microelectronics institution, but she has never put down the chip in her heart, and now, she wants to re-develop the chip, even if it is a private company!
Liu Yang and Hu Miaomiao are also very excited, using their own chips to conduct research, which is much better than importing from abroad!
As night fell, Qin Feng took Liu Yang and Hu Miaomiao to the Chocolate Building, and asked Xiang Jing to send them back to school, while he walked home with Zhao Jiao, and the distance was not far anyway.
"Brother Feng, at present, almost all of the group's funds are used in the construction of steel plants, and we have recently started to sell ballpoint pen ball steel, which is just beginning to make a profit, but the group's funds are still very tight, and I am afraid that it will not be able to support the huge chip research and development investment."
Qin Feng can make money and spend money, and he doesn't know how much money he has in his hand, it is all handled by Zhao Jiao, the proprietress of the boss.
Hearing Zhao Jiao's words, Qin Feng was a little surprised: "Isn't the tightrope sold to the Yankees a hundred million?" ”
Even if it is to help the Navy purchase six sets of radars, it will have to be paid by the Navy, and it would be good for us to help coordinate, how can the $100 million fund be spent?
"Mr. Qin, at present, the capital government is negotiating with our Pacific Group, hoping that we will buy the capital motorcycle factory, and the government's reserve price is 50 million yuan." Zhao Jiao said: "After we acquire, we still need to invest in transformation, and it is not bad to fill in the 100 million US dollars." ”
Acquisition of Capital Motorcycle Factory? Qin Feng was stunned for a moment: "That kind of non-performing assets, we don't want it, I told them, unless the company goes bankrupt and closes down, I don't want to take over this kind of factory." ”
A dilapidated old factory has no future, there are more people lying flat in it than working, and there are more stealing and tricksters than honest, Qin Feng does not plan to accept this kind of bad assets.
The Capital Motorcycle Factory has been losing money for many years, otherwise it would not have merged with the Capital Automobile Factory, collectively referred to as BAIC Motorcycle, but after the merger, it did not develop, but made a mistake when copying Tianxia Motorcycle, resulting in high debts, and it came to the brink of bankruptcy.
Now, you actually want Qin Feng to take over?
"Yes, I thought the same way at first, but recently, Uncle Wang found me, Brother Feng, we can't refuse."
Wang Fang's father, Wang Gang! In the process of the development of the Pacific Group, Wang Gang has helped a lot, Qin Feng has Li Runzhu in the army, and later Yang Lao is in the background, and in the locality, he relies on Wang Fang's father, and now, Wang Gang has found it, and Qin Feng really can't refuse.
"Moreover, the Capital Motorcycle Factory is in Dongcheng District, a good place, Brother Feng, you have always wanted to find a place to start a business in the capital city, this opportunity is rare."
What is the most valuable? It's not an enterprise, it's not high-tech, it's land, the land of the Capital Motorcycle Factory is in the urban area, even if the factory closes down and goes bankrupt in the future, as soon as the land is sold, you can count the money until you get soft!
Hearing Zhao Jiao say this, Qin Feng was able to make a decision, for the sake of this land, he also had to take down the factory, this Uncle Wang was giving himself a big gift.
"Well, Gillian, you're right, since Uncle Wang wants us to help, we can't stand by and watch, we have to help." Qin Feng said: "By the way, have you bought the courtyard house that Wang Fang bought?" Uncle Wang, have they moved in? ”
"I bought it, and I will face the door with us, but Uncle Wang and they didn't move in, but Aunt Li occasionally came over to clean up." Zhao Jiao said.
"Let's go over and visit Uncle Wang tomorrow......" While speaking, Qin Feng and Zhao Jiao had already walked to the door of the house, but saw that the opposite door was open, and Wang Gang also happened to come out.
"Hey, Mr. Qin, you're back, a busy man?"
"Uncle Wang, just call me Xiaofeng, come to my house to sit?"
"Well, I happened to pass by today to see how the wedding room was arranged." After Wang Gang finished speaking, he looked at Qin Feng with a smile: "Xiao Feng, did Xiao Zhao tell you about the arrangements of the Capital Motorcycle Factory?" ”
"Anyway, I want to report to you tomorrow."
"Reporting or something is exempt." Wang Gang said: "I just have time today, let's talk." By the way, let's tell you the bottom line first, you can't just the factory, and the people in the factory, you have to take it too. ”
Qin Feng frowned: "Uncle Wang, if we want to be fine, the key is, are these people willing?" If the factory changes like this, they will not have an iron rice bowl! ”
"There is no iron rice bowl, but there is money." Wang Gang said: "The salary of your factory is twice the average salary, and the year-end bonus is two months' salary, so many people are waiting for it." ”
"Uncle Wang, the people who get our salaries are all working, we don't raise idlers, Gillian, make a tea for Uncle Wang!"
While speaking, several people had already entered the courtyard, and Qin Feng beckoned Wang Gang to sit down and began to talk about business.
"You have to take the workers, you can't push them to the society." Wang Gang said: "Xiaofeng, the superiors attach great importance to this acquisition, and the acquisition of state-owned enterprises by private enterprises is an unprecedented precedent!" You have to fight this battle! ”
With the reform of the country, the private economy has played an increasingly important role, and in recent years, it is no longer regarded as a flood beast, and at the same time, many old state-owned enterprises have not kept up with the situation and have finally been eliminated.
In the past, people thought that entering a state-owned enterprise was an iron rice bowl, but in 86 years, Shenyang explosion-proof equipment factory finally declared bankruptcy after ten consecutive years of losses, which was like a thunderclap, which exploded in everyone's minds.
State-owned enterprises can also go bankrupt!
Of course, bankruptcy is only the last resort, and leaders at all levels will try their best to avoid the factors that cause social instability by letting enterprises go bankrupt, losing state-owned assets, laying off workers and leaving them unemployed.
This time, the acquisition of the Capital Motorcycle Factory by the Pacific Group is an attempt by the superior leaders: through the merger, let the enterprise regain its vitality!
Tianxia Motorcycle has played a brand, not only selling well in China, but also achieving export earnings! They will lead the Capital Motorcycle Factory, and they will definitely take this factory to the light! If this attempt is successful, there will certainly be more acquisitions and mergers in the future.
"Uncle Wang, what if the workers themselves don't want to do it and then resign?"
Wang Gang thought for a while: "This is okay, but they must be voluntary!" ”
"Hmm." Qin Feng already had an idea: "Uncle Wang, next, I want to report to you on the specific operation." ”
