3/8/89, Great Women's Day.

In the early morning of this day, people went to work as usual, and the women comrades were even more jubilant, and they must do more work on our women's festivals, so that the motherland and the people know that we women can hold up half the sky!

However, the Loongson company, which has always been lively, became deserted, and many people did not come to work on time that morning.

The tiredness and nervousness of the past few days have made them energetic, but once they relax, they forget the time, and the biological clock in their bodies has long been disrupted.

There are also some people who still maintain strong energy, such as Ni Lao, early in the morning, he rode a bicycle to work, although Loongson has been successfully taped out, the detection has been completed, but the Loongson processor is still just starting, and there is still a lot of work to be done, for example, to design peripheral circuits for the Loongson processor, so that it can work in the way of a computer, for example, it also needs to have special software, especially the operating system, after all, this is a new processor, a new instruction set.

There's a lot of work ahead and he has to keep working hard!

"Old Ni, Old Ni!" Just when he rode to the gate of the high-tech base, he heard a familiar person greeting, so he pinched the brake, stepped on the ground with his left foot, and looked in the direction where the voice came: "Old Liu? ”

"Well, it's me." Liu Zhonglie said with a smile: "The gate of your base is too difficult to enter, and you have to have acquaintances to lead you in, I have been waiting for you here for a long time, and I drank the cold wind in my stomach." ”

Liu Zhonglie was wearing a down jacket, from the neckline, he was wearing a shirt and tie, and there must be a suit, looking radiant, and behind him, followed by a young man in a military coat, carrying a briefcase, he looked like a secretary.

"Let's go, I'll take you inside, to my office to talk."

The spring breeze of '89 was very cold, and although it had passed the sting, the weather was still as cold as winter.

Fortunately, the heating in the office building was very hot, and after coming in, it gave people a warm feeling, Liu Zhonglie took off his down jacket, and the young man took it over to help hang it on the coat rack, and then took off his military coat.

"Lao Liu, come, first drink a cup of tea to warm up." Ni Lao made tea and put it in front of Liu Zhonglie: "Running over in the morning, there must be something important, right?" ”

"Yes, old Ni." Liu Zhonglie took a sip of tea, and then let out a sigh of emotion: "Do you remember when I went to talk to you about Hanka? ”

At that time, the state wanted to reduce the funds, and the leaders of the computing institute asked the superiors for funds, but they were scolded in a split face, and the leaders of the computing institute were very angry, isn't it a market economy, we can do it!

As a result, the computing institute began to set up a company, Liu Zhonglie and others opened a company in a small bungalow at No. 2 South Road of Zhongguancun Academy of Sciences.

Just when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, they thought of the Hanka developed by Ni Lao, and Liu Zhonglie personally ran to flicker, so that Ni Lao joined L Xiang, and at the same time contributed his Hanka technology, and L Xiang began to embark on the road to success from then on.

Even, even the name of the company is Ni Lao's, and the Hanka he developed is called the LX-80L Chinese character system.

Later generations of computers as long as the combination of ctrl and space bar, you can switch the input method at will, in the eighties is unimaginable, the computer is invented by foreigners, the computer can only recognize English, and can only run in the English system.

Ni Lao's Hanka is a kind of hardware circuit board, which solidifies a set of software, and stores all the Chinese characters in the font library, after the computer starts, this Hanka will run synchronously, so that the computer can display Chinese characters.

The reason why it is called l thinks, there is also a reason, just like later generations, as long as you type a pinyin, you can appear a lot of words, this kind of Hanka only needs to type a word, and you can associate a lot of words later, such as playing a willow word, and words such as willow trees, willow branches, and willow traitors can come out later, which is very convenient.

l I think it is relying on this kind of Hanka to develop and grow, and now it has begun to import microcomputers, and it seems to have become a leader in this field.

Now, another huge business opportunity is in front of him!

"Of course I do." Ni Lao said: "However, that's all in the past, I'm very busy, just say what you have to do." ”

Ni is always engaged in technology, and disdains to waste time and life in this kind of verbal communication.

"That's right, we heard that Loongson has developed a general-purpose processor, and the performance is very advanced......"

Ni Lao immediately frowned: "Who did you listen to?" ”

This is an internal secret of the company, it was successfully taped out last night, and today Liu Zhonglie came over, who leaked the secret?

Seeing Ni Lao's expression, Liu Zhonglie laughed: "Old Ni, are you still guarding against me?" Behind me is our computing institute! ”

Ni Lao was relieved, that's right, he has developed an advanced chip, although the computing institute did not pay money, but it belongs to the relevant departments at the higher level, and it is normal for them to know it, and it must be reported.

"Lao Ni, we can cooperate as before, your Loongson company is responsible for making chips, and we want to be responsible for turning these chips into computers and making a lot of money together...... No, let's develop the computer industry of the motherland together, how about it? ”

Ni Lao's eyes lit up.

Today on the road, he is still thinking about these things, for Loongson, it is already very good to concentrate on making chips, almost all chip companies only provide chips, boards and other manufacturers, they can also do this, concentrate on one thing.

Moreover, he wanted to do it in L before, if it weren't for making chips, maybe he would still stay in L and want to be the chief engineer, and now in the face of this old friend, what else does he say?

"I came here today to sign an agreement with you as the only partner of Loongson, and in the future, all your chips will be provided to us......"

Liu Zhonglie has a great appetite, not only for Loongson's processor, but also as a full-power agent!

"Lao Ni, I also know that what you are best at is engaging in technology and sales, and you still let professional people do it!" Liu Zhonglie continued to gush: "If you cooperate with others, you may be deceived by others, over the years, I have been in the market, suffered a lot of losses, and also gained a lot of experience......

Ni Lao didn't speak anymore, the words in the front still sounded like that, but when it came to the back, there were some problems, all for l to provide? What do you mean?

"By the way, has the price of your Loongson No. 1 been determined? If you are not sure, I can give you a reference, at present, in the market, Intel's 80386 processor computer costs more than 10,000 yuan, which is too expensive! If our Loongson No. 1 can be priced at 500 yuan, then we can make the whole machine less than 5,000 yuan. Liu Zhonglie said: "This is also convenient for us to popularize computers in China." ”

Ni Lao still didn't speak, but he was already angry in his heart, of course he knew the meaning of Liu Zhonglie's words.

He wants to be a full agent, and Loongson No. 1 can only be sold to him in the future, and he must have pricing power, and he has the final say on how much this processor is!

Moreover, he also said that he was trying to help the country popularize computers, and he seemed to be so selfless!

"Old Ni, what do you think?"

"Lao Liu, I can't be the master of this matter, you also said, I'm just a technician, and I really don't know much about sales, but our Loongson company is not independent, we are under the Pacific Group, so we have to ask Mr. Qin."

"Mr. Qin? Where is it? Can you take me to him? ”

"I'm coming!" Just then, a voice sounded outside.

With the voice, a young man walked in, and Yang Qingfeng, who was behind Liu Zhonglie, saw this young man, and immediately revealed a complicated gaze.

This is Mr. Qin? Younger than him, more capable than him, and now he has led the most advanced private enterprises in the country! If Yang Qingfeng hadn't been greedy for thinking that the company was a state-owned enterprise, he would have plans to join the Pacific Group.

However, there is a little imbalance in his heart, why is he, a graduate student, still not as good as the undergraduate student in front of him?

In a complicated mood, he looked at the people who came in front of him.

Qin Feng glanced at him, and then ignored him, Yang Qingfeng was just beginning to think about it now, and he was actually able to hug Liu Zhonglie's thigh, this guy's kung fu can be seen, but there is no need for him to meet a little person like him, he has to deal with Liu Zhonglie.

"You are Mr. Qin? Sure enough, he is a hero from ancient times! Liu Zhonglie greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Qin, introduce yourself, I am from the Computing Institute, and our Computing Institute has opened a company, called L Thought, mainly engaged in computer business, our Computing Institute heard about the achievements here, and is very happy, this is the best opportunity to promote our domestic products!" You are responsible for the production of processors, we are responsible for assembly, and in the future, we will grow together and become a giant enterprise like IBM! ”

This guy, now there is no mouth full of technology without borders, a mouth full of global industrial chain, we only need to be responsible for the assembly? It's definitely not that he doesn't have this idea, but with the current volume, there is no way to talk directly to a giant like Intel, they take the goods, they all get the goods from the Southern Special Economic Zone, it is said that they were almost deceived, and now I heard that Loongson has made a processor, of course, to catch up.

When they become bigger and stronger, they won't think so.

"Absolutely." Qin Feng nodded.

Ni Lao was a little anxious, this Liu Zhonglie still has conditions, why didn't you listen to Mr. Qin, so you agreed directly?

"We are responsible for the production of processors, and you are responsible for assembling computers, this way, to jointly build our eastern computer giant, of course, no problem." Qin Feng said: "However, if you want to assemble a computer, there are still many problems. ”

"Mr. Qin, please tell me, we think that assembling computers is the most professional, and we will definitely be able to provide the most perfect solution." Yoo Chung-yeol patted his chest and reassured.

"Our Loongson uses its own instruction set, its own architecture, so, we also need some special chips to match it, the current computer motherboard still uses a variety of discrete components, complex structure, high failure rate, so, I plan to integrate the chips with different functions outside, with two kinds of chips instead, mainly used to bridge various components, I call it the north bridge and the south bridge."

After the 586, that is, the Pentium processor, the computer motherboard was mainly composed of two kinds of chips, and the chassis at that time was already placed vertically, with a chip on it, often covered with a heat sink, called the North Bridge chip, and another chip underneath, directly soldered on the circuit board, and various signs could be seen on the surface of the bare chip.

However, before 486, there were still scattered chips on the computer, with a large number and single function, which was very inconvenient to use.

From a large number of independent chips to a single chip, this is a kind of technological progress, and in later generations, with the continuous progress of technology, the north and south bridge chips are unified into a chip, and later, engineers also plan to integrate things such as memory, the higher the degree of integration, the higher the integration of the computer, the more advanced the performance.

At this time, hearing Qin Feng's words, Ni Lao's eyes immediately widened, okay, it is a good plan to integrate the motherboard chips, reduce the complexity of the motherboard components, and improve the performance of the motherboard!

And Liu Zhonglie was stunned at the moment, what, you asked me to make chips?

I want to position myself as an assembly plant, where will I make chips?

Behind Liu Zhonglie, Yang Qingfeng spoke: "Mr. Qin, with the development of computer technology to the present, each chip on the motherboard is discrete, and you require the integration of various chips on the motherboard, will it increase the complexity?" ”

"You young man, too shallow in your knowledge." Qin Feng criticized him unceremoniously, like a serious elder: "With the development of the times, the progress of technology, integration must be a general trend, are you engaged in technology or sales?" Did you know the world's first computer? It's enough to occupy a building! What now? The performance of a chassis is stronger than it, isn't this the benefit of high integration? ”

"Mr. Qin, there are so many chips, each with its own function, how can it be integrated together, you ...... I'm not a computer science major, you don't understand the complexity of it. Yang Qingfeng still wanted to talk back.

Syllable! Qin Feng immediately slapped the table: "What did you say?" I don't know about computers? I don't understand, how do I lead the group's Loongson company to create an advanced processor? ”

"Xiao Yang, what are you talking about, don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Qin!" Liu Zhonglie said with a dark face: "Let's talk, it's not your turn to interject!" ”

Of course, Liu Zhonglie knew that what Yang Qingfeng just said was fighting for the interests of the L Thinking Group, and when he made such a statement, it was just for show.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I was wrong." Yang Qingfeng hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistakes, as well-behaved as a child who knew his mistakes and changed them, only with a trace of unwillingness in his lowered gaze.

"Mr. Qin, don't be like Xiao Yang, he only came to our company this year for an internship, he has never seen the world, and he has not been tempered by society." Liu Zhonglie continued: "Mr. Qin, tell us about the design idea of the North Bridge and South Bridge chips. ”

"Northbridge belongs to the high-speed interface inside the computer, it is connected through the front-side bus, that is, FSB and the central processing unit, the northbridge is designed with a memory controller, which can exchange information with the memory and pass it to the processor, and the northbridge will also have a special channel to connect the graphics card, in short, the high-speed data flow inside the computer is controlled through the northbridge."

"As for the South Bridge, it is responsible for external contact, that is, the I/O channel, specifically, floppy disks, hard disks, audio controllers, keyboard controllers, real-time clock controllers, advanced power management, etc., can be bridged through the South Bridge chip, at the same time, the North and South Bridges are independent, take the South Bridge I said, not only can be used by our Loongson, but also can be used by Intel in the future, and different brands of chips can also be mixed."

This is not Qin Feng's bragging, in later generations, VIA once dominated one side in the motherboard chipset, and Intel lost its armor, many motherboard manufacturers in order to reduce costs, often the North Bridge chip uses Intel's own chip, and the South Bridge chip uses VIA's, which looks very weird.

"Wonderful!" Ni Lao nodded: "Mr. Qin, your idea is too good, our engineers at Loongson have always felt that there are always some defects in computer motherboards made of discrete components, but I can't think of how to improve it, you actually solved it with two chips, amazing!" ”

"Well, our Loongson was born, and it will inevitably bring revolutionary progress to computers." Qin Feng said: "The dragon architecture was proposed by us, the dragon instruction set was developed by us, and the scheme of the north-south bridge chip was also proposed by us!" ”

After speaking, Qin Feng looked at Liu Zhonglie again: "You want to rely on the computing institute and belong to the national team, so it is said that you can't even make this kind of north-south bridge chip, right?" As long as you come up with it, we will only give you a package in the future, if you can't get it...... If you want to be the only downstream manufacturer of our Loongson company, you have to see if you have this strength! ”

Liu Zhonglie felt the sweat on his forehead swishing outward, and he already understood: this Mr. Qin was listening outside just now, and Mr. Qin heard the conversation between him and Ni Lao clearly.

Mr. Qin did not directly refuse them, but put forward new requirements for them!

If they can do it, they can cooperate with Loongson, but they can't do it...... Mr. Qin will have a bright reason to reject them!

"Mr. Qin, don't worry, we want to be a high-tech enterprise, how can we not do this, it's just, it's just ......"

"You have to find a way to fund R&D, in the past few years, you have sold so many Hanka, you should have made a lot of money, right? You're not going to spend all that money, are you? A high-tech enterprise must ensure that more than half of its profits are used in research and development, otherwise...... Sitting and eating the mountain is empty, sooner or later it will be over! ”
