Hammer of Technology

This sentence obviously made Pat Kelsinger dissatisfied, even disgusted.Because the lines are full of capitulationism, it is clear that Pat Kelsinger does not want to really go this far.

"Tim, so you chose to cooperate with Huawei? Right?" Pat Kelsinger said slightly mockingly.

Tim Cook smiled, and was not annoyed by the attitude of the other party. He still said in a gentle tone: "Of course you can understand it this way, but I always think that adapting to and embracing changes is the only way for a company to survive in this world." The first rule of survival. Even in many cases, technology is not as important as the determination to embrace change. The iPhone was once a classic of an era, and it is always mentioned until now. Everyone always remembers the changes Jobs brought to the world, but they simply ignore How the mobile Internet has changed people's lives over the past ten years."

"You see, whenever there is something wrong with the product, Apple fans always say that Jobs would never do this. They seem to have forgotten that Jobs failed, forgot itunes ping, forgot that he authorized the ipod to HP, and more Forget the ipod hi-fi. I've always admitted that Steve Jobs was a great guy, but he was a man, not a god, and he was as disgusted as you are now and didn't like to embrace any change."

"In fact, when I'm free, I often think about where Apple would go under the leadership of Jobs if he hadn't passed away due to illness. Will the annual product launch be interrupted by his paranoia? Our respect for developers Whether the promise will be changed because of his decision, I will even think, if I were Jobs, how would I see each generation of Apple products!"

"But in the end I came to a conclusion that he may not be better than me in the same environment, he may not be better than me in understanding and adapting to the market that has changed dramatically in the past ten years, and he may not be able to compete in the Android Alliance step by step. Don’t make any mistakes. Because he is unwilling to face some facts, just like you now. Pat, you should ask yourself now, are you really willing to let Intel become a second-rate semiconductor factory in your hands?”

"If you can't adapt to the times, you can only choose to continue to maintain the current technological advantages and continue to make products that you are familiar with. Maybe Intel can still be brilliant for three years? Five years? Until the [-]D chips that can maintain Moore's Law gradually occupy the high-end market, The silicon chip that used to be is slowly dying and can only serve some low-end products. Pat, ask yourself if this is the future you want.”

Pat Kelsinger frowned even more, thinking about the report from the chief technology officer in his mind.

"When the three-dimensional chip is developed to 10 nanometers, it will be able to hang Intel's future-oriented Amy plan."

It took the Chinese people a month to go from 180nm to 65nm. Even if the difficulty of the process will increase geometrically in the future, it is enough to catch up with Intel's most advanced products with a process of about 30nm. How long will it take?

"What you call embracing change is betting the future on someone else's hands?" Pat Kelsinger asked casually.

Tim Cook smiled, and still said in the tone of an elder: "You are wrong, Pat. To bet on the future in the hands of others, you must first own or be able to win a future. Of course betting on this What can you do when you have to do something like this? Of course, don’t be so pessimistic. Since the Chinese can discover the future when they are so far behind you, is it impossible to imagine the former leader? Don't try to deceive yourself, you are just not used to going against the wind, and the Huaxia people are very good at it."

"So you don't think the most important thing now is not to complain and to think about betting, but to think about how to adapt to this change, from a leader to one who keeps an eye on the opponent and seizes every opportunity to overtake. Follow the runners. If you want some advice from me, then this is the only advice. Remember, Pat, the most desperate moments are not the hopelessness of the future, but the complete loss of accepting reality, embracing change and change Courage for the future."

Pat Kelsinger fell silent.

Tim Cook has already clarified his attitude. Everyone is a smart person. If we talk about this, if we continue to talk about this topic, we will only look stupid and very stupid.

There is no doubt that the person in front of him who has controlled the largest company in the universe for more than ten years is more proud than he imagined.

So before he decided to leave, he finally asked: "So Tim, tell me, what about Apple? How does Apple plan to embrace change?"

"Did you forget that we are already Huawei's strategic partner? Of course, there is also the possibility of more in-depth cooperation, but in fact we are different from Intel. We will still use the A-series CPU for the next generation, but who can say what architecture the next generation will use? Is it good? Whoever is more advanced can use his product, isn’t it good? At least from the data we tested, the 5D [-]G baseband chip is better than your product.”

"Tim, are you not afraid that we will block Apple's chip industry chain?" Pat Kelsinger asked, staring at Tim Cook.

Tim Cook smiled and said: "Pat, you look too high on the so-called alliance, and you look down on me. No one can block Apple's supply chain. As long as I am still in this position, as long as Apple shareholders If you still trust me, this kind of thing will never happen. I still have this confidence! If I were you, what I have to do now is to find a way to solve my own predicament, instead of offending those who may reach out to you in the future. Helping friends. One of the most basic principles of being a successful CEO is to think carefully about every major decision, whether this decision is stupid.”

"I've made a note of it, thank you for your kind words." Pat Kelsinger nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to refute.

"You're welcome, maybe we can help each other in the future." Tim Cook said with a smile.

"Maybe!" Pat Kelsinger nodded, and then said, "Farewell!"

"Think about it, Pat, goodbye! I wish you a sweet dream." Tim Cook said casually.

……

Wangjing BBQ.

The boss and the waiter were staring at the empty restaurant in a daze.

As soon as the smiling and noisy young men and women got into the car, it didn't take long for the quality diners to start paying according to the table number.It was full of guests just now, but the restaurant lost its popularity in an instant, and the barbecue restaurant has been operating for several years. This is the first time I have seen such a strange scene.

This is, what about playing? !

After a long time, a waiter suddenly reacted: "Hey, do you think the young man sitting at the checkout table in the far corner over there just now looks familiar?"

"Celebrities? Celebrities? Impossible, I think I can recognize celebrities."

"It's not a star, it's been on the news, oh, yes, I remembered, it's a scientist, a scientist who is very famous on Weibo! What's his name?"

"A particularly famous scientist on Weibo? Ning Wei?!"

……

If Ning Wei knew that someone described him as a scientist on Weibo, he would probably vomit blood three times. Fortunately, he has already left.So I just feel that I haven't been so happy in a long time.

There is actually nothing wrong with the Mathematics Research Center, but the people inside are a bit too rigid, especially Senior Brother Lu, how can you enjoy bragging with your former roommates?Especially in the car, when Luo Xiang raised his throat and sang, it made the atmosphere even more lively.

But Liu Wei still silently drove the car to Yan Yuan's villa with no winks.

Standing in front of the villa in the capital, Luo Xiang sighed with emotion: "It's really like a dream, Ning Wei, if I knew you were so awesome when I was a freshman, I would kneel and lick you from the beginning, would I be able to do it now?" Did you live in a big villa?"

Ning Wei frowned, and asked pretending to be confused: "Are you sure you didn't kneel and lick me when you were a freshman? Who was it to see the answers to the multiple-choice questions when you took the exam?"

"Fuck!" Luo Xiang was a little bored, glared at Ning Wei, then opened the door of the villa with his head held high, and said with a smirk: "I suggest that today we four boys sleep in the same room, and find the girl who used to live in the 302 dormitory together." Feeling. Three girls can share one room, does anyone agree?"

Ning Wei glared at Luo Xiang, obviously this guy is not a thing.The others in the dormitory were all from here, so they naturally knew how it felt when they were passionately in love. They didn't care, let alone Liu Cong came here alone, so Ning Wei took a look at Liu Cong.

"Ahem, Lao Luo, don't make trouble, how grown-up you are, and you're still looking for a dormitory. I'd rather be busy tomorrow if you don't know for sure! Let's not make any more trouble!" Liu Cong said with a sneer.

"That's right, Jiajia, don't worry about your family Luo Xiang. He is not married yet, and he has started to yearn to sleep with a few men. If he is really married, then it's okay?" Mr. Xu is also standing beside him Verbal help.

With a united front, I finally got what I wanted.

But at night...

Ning Wei climbed onto the bed excitedly, waited for classmate Jiang to wash up, blushed, and crawled into bed...

"Well, Ning Wei, I can't do anything today."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Because it's night, the moon has come, and it's still hanging in the sky!"

"No... What's the matter with the moon... um? You mean... so what's not over yet?"

The moonlight spilled into the room from the window and imprinted on the girl's blushing face, allowing Ning Wei to clearly see Jiang's nodding shyly. , Ning's mother readily agreed.

It's useless to do all the tricks. Sometimes, I have to admit that Jiang is really old and hot!

------------

288 Are you teaching me how to do things? (Da Zhang! Continue to ask for a monthly pass!)

On Sunday, Ning Wei originally planned to take a day off to make up for the exhaustion of his body and mind, but when the sun shone into the bedroom and he lay lazily on the bed and turned on his phone, he realized that his thoughts were too naive.

No matter how coquettish his acceptance speech at the awards ceremony yesterday, there are as many missed calls at this moment.Coupled with the countless words and voices of greetings on WeChat, life is really almost complete.

"Can't you rest today?" Jiang, who came out of the bathroom, asked with a blushing face.

"Rest? Only people who are useless to society need to rest. How can people like me rest?" Ning Wei said in a self-deprecating manner.

"Oh!" Classmate Jiang nodded, there was no way to refute this, and then said: "Mom told me yesterday, let me advise you to become a professor at Yanbei University in the future, and don't spend all day in the office and laboratory. It's exhausting to do research."

"I have to wait until I graduate to be a professor. Hey, every day..." Ning Wei lazily got up from the bed and washed up. All the roommates were still asleep, and the living room was eerily quiet.

"Don't worry about me. Later, you will accompany my brothers to have breakfast for me. They all have return tickets at 11 o'clock. There will be a driver to pick them up and send them off for me. I must be running out of time. Hey, I want to stay They had lunch, and these guys said they were busy, so they would leave in the morning, and they were busy every day, and they didn't know what they were busy with on the big weekend." Ning Wei complained.

"Maybe...they just knew that you were busy and were afraid of delaying your work, so they just made up some excuses." Classmate Jiang gave a different opinion, but it probably pointed to the truth.

This is probably the unique sense of proportion in dormitory 302. In fact, Ning Wei also knows that it is not a big problem for Mr. Xu to stay in the capital for a week based on the two official letters he issued. There is a high probability that one more of him and one less of him will not affect any work.

Not to mention Liu Cong, as long as he calls the lab and Huawei, it's not a big deal even if he takes a month off.As for Luo Xiang, he is now working in the fucking company. Although it is not advisable for the young boss to be absent from work, it is not a problem to explain the reason and take an extra two or three days off, let alone being with him.

So after all he was too busy...

This is probably the legendary person who is hard to tear down.

But then again, who made him act too recklessly at the awards ceremony last night?Gains are bound to be lost, which is an objective law and cannot be resisted.Although I understand this truth very well in my heart, I still feel a little depressed after all.

Walking with Liu Weiyi to the research center, I happened to see Senior Brother Zhou walking towards the gate from another direction with his head bowed. He seemed to be muttering something, so he quickly waved to Senior Brother: "Senior Brother Zhou, good morning!"

Zhou Yanping looked up blankly, and saw Ning Wei who was standing at the door, his expression changed, he stopped saying hello, turned his head and walked towards the side door...

Ning Wei glanced sideways at Liu Wei beside him, pointed to his nose, and asked, "Am I so annoying now? Really, I used to be very popular in Jiang University. You also saw it yesterday. , how harmoniously I get along with my roommate."

Liu Wei raised his head and looked at the morning glow in the sky. He really didn't know how to answer this question.Because he knew that Ning Wei didn't need comfort at all.

After entering the research center, Ning Wei went directly to Director Tian's office.Lao Tian left three messages on WeChat yesterday, telling him to report to the office this morning. After a wild night yesterday, he still has to give his mentor some face, even if today is a rest day.

Standing obediently knocked on the door, I heard the words "Please come in" from inside the door without any emotion.

"Director Tian, ​​you are looking for me." Ning Wei pushed the door into the office and greeted with a smile.

Tian Yanzhen raised his head and glanced at Ning Wei, and Ning Wei read full of relief and appreciation from this look.

"Well, can I not look for you? Winner of the Wolf Award, you have won the award and won me honor. As a mentor, I am very happy. Naturally, I will call you here to praise you." Tian Yanzhen smiled. Smiled and said.

"Director Tian, ​​you are too polite." Ning Wei said with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome, actually the main reason for calling you here is to ask, is the statement you mentioned at the award ceremony yesterday that the laboratory has solved all the difficulties of the 65nm process true?" Tian Yanzhen smiled helplessly, asked kindly.

Really, when Ning Wei couldn't be contacted yesterday, Tian Yanzhen had the idea of ​​strangling his big brother student to death, but now when he saw Ning Wei standing in front of him as if he had nothing to do, his resentment returned. seems to disappear.

what can he doThis is still a child!Especially when he saw Ning Wei's harmless smiling face, it even made him want to criticize himself, is it too demanding for a child?

"Look at what you said, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't care about the century-old reputation of our research center? How could I dare to say fake things on that occasion? Don't worry!" Ning Wei immediately patted said Chest.

"Oh! Has the lab made a finished product again?" Tian Yanzhen stared at Ning Wei and asked.

"Um, wait a minute..." Ning Wei took out his mobile phone and quickly called up the backstage of March. After checking the records, he looked at Tian Yanzhen confidently and nodded fiercely. Said: "Yes, Director Tian, ​​there is a finished product, but there is a problem with the good frequency. Originally, I wanted to make ten pieces, but only five pieces succeeded, and the other five pieces are defective products."

"Oh, I don't know much about the specific engineering technology, but the first time the laboratory can have a 50.00% success rate, it's not a failure anyway. How much did this experiment cost?" Tian Yanzhen continued asked.

Ning Wei blinked. He really hasn't researched this issue. After all, Jitu contacted Jitu for equipment updates in the laboratory.

But after thinking about the quotation of the equipment carefully, and then considering the cost of the manufacturer's special promotion of internal technology, as well as the human resources consumed, plus the cost of purchasing raw materials, Ning Wei made a rough estimate in his heart, and then he was very sincere. He replied: "I'm thinking that if there is no seven or eighty million, it should not come down."

"Your estimate is very accurate. In fact, I asked Mr. Chen specifically yesterday. In order to complete the experiment you requested as quickly as possible, the direct cost is probably the figure you mentioned. As for the indirect cost, it is really difficult to calculate. For example, the extremely rabbit There is also a professional team of hundreds of people working to ensure the smooth supply of the materials and parts you need. They will conduct detailed research and comparison of each part parameter you require, and try to find a way across the country and even the world. Get it for you."

"In addition, for every request you make, if conditions permit, orders will be issued to more than three qualified supporting manufacturers. Domestic manufacturers can also receive special technical upgrade funding. After they submit their samples, they will organize expert Go to the inspection and choose the laboratory with the closest technical standard to provide to you. As for the others, I didn’t ask further. After such a toss, I guess I want [-] million. Not to mention that the whole process must be efficient.”

Tian Yanzhen spoke earnestly.

Ning Wei nodded, with an open-minded look on his face.

Sure enough, it is not without reason that he is so efficient. It turns out that he has a team of [-] people whom he has never met to provide technical support behind him.Of course, this is also normal. After all, this kind of high efficiency cannot be a castle in the air, and it also shows that Mr. Chen is really caring.

Seeing Ning Wei's humble appearance, Tian Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "So, can you stop being so self-willed in the future? Why don't you mention this for now, and since you mentioned it, let's not turn off the phone, okay?" ?Look, there are so many semiconductor and microelectronics research institutes all over the country, and so many university professors are paying attention to this topic. You announced a great success. Will these people be curious? Will you be extremely eager for first-hand information? Do you want to get some information as soon as possible? Should you take care of everyone's mood?"

Ning Wei thought for a while, and replied: "Understood! Director Tian, ​​don't worry, I will announce this later, so that everyone can rest assured. I will stand on the front line of attracting firepower as always. But you can also think the other way around. I think, although there are indeed many people serving my experiment, we have succeeded after all, right. The benefits must be greater. And if I hadn't worked hard enough, everyone was optimistic about me, Mr. Chen would not have made such a big determination Make a team of a hundred, right?"

Tian Yanzhen was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, what Ning Wei said may not be right, but it must be right.There are many doctoral students all over the country, and everyone has their own topics and projects. Ning Wei is probably the only one who can enjoy this kind of service that can be described as meticulous.

You can say anything about the causal relationship, it is nothing more than a question of rhetoric.The embarrassing thing is that he is very good at doing academic research, but he really doesn't have much research on speaking skills.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Yesterday the president of Intel wanted to meet with you very much. I rejected it for you. But today you will definitely not be able to avoid it. You should go to meet with him. After all, he will spend a lot of money this time." If you donate money, the equipment donated to us will cost millions of dollars based on the market price. In fact, there are still many people who want to see you, but Mr. Chen has already sent the first batch of samples, and they are probably in a hurry to do research , I don’t have time to talk to you now, but you won’t be free when they finish their work.”

"Okay, Director Tian. Will he come over later?"

"Well! I'll contact him later."

"Alright then, I'll wait for him in the office."

"Go ahead and be nice to people."

"By the way, Director Tian, ​​isn't Mr. Cook from Apple coming with you?"

"Tim Cook's plane went to Shencheng today, saying he was visiting Huawei's headquarters."

Ning Wei was stunned when he heard the news, and then sighed: "This boss Cook is really smart!"

Really, probably only this one accurately judged that it was useless to stay in the capital city of Mo Ningwei, and he had no intention of interfering in the business field at all.So it's not unreasonable to say that some people's success is really not unreasonable.

"Smart people?" Tian Yanzhen gave his disciple a weird look, and said in a deep voice, "Never underestimate the heroes of the world!"

"Understood! Director Tian, ​​by the way, what kind of tea did you drink yesterday? It seems to smell delicious..."

"Take it, take it, it's all for you! As long as you promise me one thing, don't turn off your phone if you have nothing to do in the future."

……

"You need to be notified before posting on Weibo, and don't turn off your phone if you have nothing to do... Tian Dao only promises him one thing every time, and he doesn't think about adding up so many things, it's a lot of things, but I have a good memory, so I agreed It’s very annoying. Wait, today is still Sunday, and I still work overtime... Sure enough, tutors are creatures that naturally like to deprive students of their rest time.”

Liu Wei listened silently to Ning Wei's complaints.

Sure enough, only distance can produce beauty.

Thinking of learning about the high evaluations of great scientists for Ning Wei from various sources, Liu Wei always has the urge to share these private words with those great scientists.In fact, this is a child who hasn't grown up yet. It's just that the genius has been unable to let him know the dangers of this world, or the dangers of this world are hard to directly hurt him. He can only coax...

Fortunately, Ning Wei was just complaining, and never expected to get any response from Liu Wei. He walked into the office on his own, took out his own cup, and picked up some high-grade tea that he had just picked up from Tian Yanzhen. Then I poured a cup of boiling water, smelled the refreshing tea fragrance, sat down and took a sip, sure enough, it smelled good, and it tasted... so bitter.

"Bah bah bah..."

Spit it out, then regretfully poured out the freshly brewed good tea, changed to a cup of plain water, felt comfortable, turned on the computer, clicked on the software, began to let myself settle down to pay attention to my thesis, and waited for someone by the way.

Although there is no need for paper rewards to enrich the wallet, let alone papers to consolidate one's academic status, but the papers that should be written still have to be written.Not only for academic exchanges, these papers can also provide a clear idea for his future compilation of textbooks, and more importantly, spiritual needs.

Every time I think of the roommates in the dormitory, after the class, they are always full of resentment towards the knowledge developed by those mathematics seniors, such as Gauss, Descartes, Riemann...etc. Among them, Ning Wei feels that after a hundred years of him, there are still many students like them who will never forget him. The joy brought by a sense of spiritual abundance arises spontaneously.

Who doesn't want to be mentioned frequently in a hundred years?
