Fight to the third generation

Today I received news that the old academician Ni Danan came to Hong Kong City and was resting at the Hi Garden Hotel, so he asked to have a talk with him.

This old man has been drinking ice for ten years, and it is difficult to cool his blood. With the completion of the preliminary preparations for Huangzuan Computer, the promise he made to Su Yehao at the wine table before the new year's meeting this year is basically completed.

At that time, Mr. Ni agreed to assist Su Yehao to create a product that would lower the price and increase the volume, and promote the popularization of computers in the mainland. Even if he hasn't met the old man yet, Su Yehao probably already guessed what he wanted to talk to him about.

After saying goodbye to Yin Liuli, he just arrived near the pier.

Suddenly he heard the phone ringing, picked it up and found that it was an unfamiliar number with no notes, so Su Yehao didn't speak after connecting.

A girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, asking, "Hello? Su Yehao?"

"Ok?"

"Brother Hao! It's me, Zhao Yimeng's younger sister Zhao Dingling!"

"...Why did you call me and ask me for something?" Su Yehao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had met this Miss Zhao's family a few times, and even went to his house in Big Wave Bay to have a barbecue, which left a deep impression on him.

Miss Zhao Jiaer was at the other end, and continued to speak: "To tell you the truth, I secretly contacted you without telling my sister, there is a crew you invested in that is filming at my school, right? Can you please help me? Arrange a small role? The one with fewer lines is best, I am worried that my skills are not enough, mainly because I want to learn..."

After hearing this, Su Yehao raised his eyebrows, laughed and said:

"Second miss, you have spoken in person, how dare I not show face. But, are you sure that your sister and your parents will allow you to enter the entertainment circle? I just went to your house last time to drink a bottle of the best that your father treasured. Jiu, if he sees that I have led you badly, won't he be called ungrateful, you should discuss this kind of thing with your family, if they say yes, I'll be fine."

Zhao Dingling was anxious for a moment, speeding up his speech and said:

"Please, I'm an adult, okay, don't treat me like a child. When my family discussed your marriage with my sister, I was on your side. I feel that looking at the entire Bishop Mountain, you are the oldest Handsome, it's a pity that you didn't stick to it anymore, otherwise I'm afraid I should call you brother-in-law now."

"...To be promiscuous, talking nonsense at such a young age. Your sister and I have nothing to do with each other. Don't spread such words indiscriminately in the future. It will affect your sister's future."

Su Yehao said.

In fact, he didn't know if this kind of rumor would affect Zhao Yimeng, but Su Yehao felt that he would die a miserable death.

Leaving aside the mixed doubles between Xiao Nizi and Jiang Yu, Nong Qingying alone is very difficult to pass, and it is inevitable to be ridiculed by yin and yang, just like the "billion betrothal gift" incident that Father Su accidentally spread earlier like that.

It took a lot of trouble to turn things around, and he didn't dare to "continue the front line", he didn't eat fish, but instead made his whole body smelly.

After thinking about it briefly, Su Yehao added:

"Otherwise, I'll help you arrange a visit to the crew. If it doesn't work, just play a passer-by with few scenes? I think you understand that families like ours often don't let their children get involved in the showbiz, mainly after they become famous. Being watched all the time, a little bit of a problem is likely to be magnified, and the income of an actor is not high, I am annoyed by reporters now, except when I need their help to advertise."

"I know, I know..."

Zhao Dingling interrupted him with a lazy and powerless tone, and continued: "I thought that a wise and powerful man like you would do things very frankly. I didn't expect that you are also like my sister, a mother-in-law who likes to teach people when she finds an opportunity."

"..."

Su Yehao touched his forehead with his hand, and said discouragedly: "Playing aggressive games with me is useless, I am very close to your sister, and my mother is also very close to your mother. Just be careful."

"Oh, forget it, a passer-by is a passer-by, and Xingzi was just playing tricks back then, and tempering will only make me stronger."

"???"

For some reason, Su Yehao inexplicably had the illusion that he had become a hindrance.

After hanging up the phone, he shook his head and laughed. He was mentally older than Zhao Dingling, and he would definitely not mess around with this little girl, so he immediately contacted Zhao Yimeng to talk about it.

Zhao Yimeng was speechless after listening.

It's just that this younger sister is stupid, and her studies are hopeless. It's good to go to the film crew to play during the summer vacation, so as not to play around and be spoiled by other bad friends.

With Zhao Yimeng's words, Su Yehao threw the blame away in an instant, not afraid that her parents would complain about him again, so he asked Linda Yun to contact director Chai Dayu, and told him to arrange a more reliable role for Zhao Dingling at that time.

Back to the port city by boat, idle and bored thinking about it.

Think for a second.

From this point of view, once investors intervene, it is really difficult for the crew to interfere, which explains why there are so many bad movies, and actors can still get roles even if they are not good enough.

Fortunately, the Second Miss of the Zhao family is pretty and has a pleasant personality. If she wants to enter the entertainment industry, she definitely has the capital...

……

Hi~o (＊￣▽￣＊) Garden Hotel in Central.

Mr. Ni wore a white short-sleeved shirt, stayed in the study, used the computer, and searched for the latest news materials of the technology industry on the Internet.

For some news, the capital market is more timely than the scientific research field, and reading the news can also be rewarding.

In his hand, there is a document.

On the cover is written "A Feasibility Report on the Development of Domestic Computer CPUs and Domestic Operating Systems". He doesn't know much about wafer foundry. Now that Yellow Diamond Computer has started to try to produce it, Mr. Ni wants to make something he really likes. Research.

This time I came to Hong Kong City to make an appointment with Su Yehao for this matter...

Chapter 602 [-] million a year, continuous investment for five years

The sea is calm today.

The weather is clear and the color is azure blue.

From a distance, near the west coast of Hong Kong Island, there were people sailing and speedboating. Su Yehao stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, envious of those people who still had the leisure and elegance to play in the water.

not like him.

My home is next to Big Wave Bay, a famous surfing spot in Hong Kong City. I stand on the terrace and watch the sea at any time, but I have never gone sailing in the sea.

The surfboard was lost in the utility room and hadn't been used since I bought it.

The name of Big Wave Bay sounds exaggerated.

In fact, if there is no typhoon, the waves are relatively mild, which is suitable for beginners who are new to surfing. There are quite a lot of people during summer holidays, and they like to go to the door of Su Yehao’s house to check in and admire the so-called "No. [-] mansion in Hong Kong City".

Su Yehao used to accompany Nong Qingying, and he failed surfing a few times when he was in Hawaii, and almost choked on the water, which has almost blocked the sport.

At this moment, I am thinking about the yacht I am bidding for, whether I should change the plan and design a super hybrid sailboat, which seems more interesting than ordinary super yachts.

But such a big sailboat seems to be quite tasteless.

After all, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can have supplies wherever you go. Anyway, I have never thought about long-distance voyages, and most of the time I don’t need sails at all.

Given the family conditions here, how can I not be able to refuel...

Then thinking about Mr. Ni again, Su Yehao sighed.

He knew what the other party was thinking, and had already chatted with him during the dinner in Sijiu City before the Spring Festival this year.

Assisting the domestic development of computer chips and operating systems sounds like a good idea.

Unfortunately.

The ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

Before the foundry project officially started, he had already considered giving up the control of Yellow Diamond Computer and Black Diamond Mobile in the future, and only retained part of the equity at that time.

The wafer foundry model is not yet the mainstream of the chip market. In the eyes of Europe and the United States, it is equivalent to finding a wage earner to earn some hard money for helping others in manufacturing.

But if according to Mr. Ni's idea, now we will touch the backs of Intel or Microsoft with a lot of fanfare, trying to touch the foundation of American technology monopoly.

Su Yehao was worried that not to mention the foundry, even the chip supply of Huangzuan Computer would be a problem, and it was likely to suffer all-round suppression from Laomei, and even affect the business in Silicon Valley.

Even if you really take the pressure and develop the product.

At that time, I am afraid that I will go back to the situation of Huawei in the previous life-although I have the technology but cannot produce it.

As for the domestic operating system.

The system itself is not difficult. The real trouble is how to build a mature software ecosystem around the system.

Now everyone is happily using Microsoft Windows, not to mention the mature technology... Maybe it doesn't cost money.

It is not easy to find another way.

therefore.

At this moment, Su Yehao was really afraid of meeting Mr. Ni. He was worried that if the other party made some difficult demands, neither party would be able to step down.

Cranky, time flies by.

When the yacht docked at the Central Wharf, the bulletproof Rolls-Royce Silver Spur was already waiting on the shore, Su Yehao got into the car directly and asked Ni Qianli's driver to go to the Hi Garden Hotel.

The distance is very short, just three intersections.

The temperature is high in mid-August.

The signature open-air restaurant on the roof of the hotel has been in a slump recently. When they arrived at the hotel, Su Yehao asked someone to contact Mr. Ni and asked him to meet at the coffee shop on the first floor.

……

After meeting Academician Ni Danan.

With a smile on his face, Su Yehao took the initiative to shake hands and say hello.

Seeing the document in the other party's hand, he turned his head and glanced at the words on it, thinking that it was indeed the case, and suddenly smiled wryly:

"The thing that should come is finally here. Talk to Mr. Ni, and show me this document after five to ten years, okay? Even if you ask me for 100 billion start-up funds, I will Guaranteed to nod on the spot, now with small arms and legs, I really can't compete with those giants. There is a word in the field of online games called obscene development, which is very suitable for our situation."

We have met frequently this year, and the two sides have talked about the direction of R&D investment more than once.

There are definitely differences.

However, Mr. Ni had a good impression of Su Yehao, and replied with a smile at this time: "You are still young, and you don't understand the feelings of us old people. You can see that the soil is buried up to my neck. If you don't hurry up now, five to ten After [-] years, it’s hard for me to say if there will be in the world.”

"Where is it, judging by your old spirit, you feel healthier than me, and longevity is not a problem."

As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, he was the first to express his opinion:

"Recently, I have thought about it in combination with the general environment. At present, I will try to master the idea of ​​lithography machines and foundries. It must be true. Only by mastering production technology can I take the initiative. Look at the Qualcomm pdQ mobile phone I just bought, and I can already receive it at any time. E-mail, the future is the era of smart mobile terminals, we can’t all focus on computer equipment, other microchips and operating systems, the market may be bigger than computers.”

Mr. Ni looked at him, heaved a long sigh, and said:

"You are afraid that I will open my mouth to make a request. No one knows what will happen in the future. I only know that it is slow now, and it will be more difficult to catch up in the future. Chip production technology has been stuck for a few years, and finally there is one. If we don’t seize our opportunities at this time, the technological gap will only widen.”

"I can suffer a little in the short term, but I have a longer-term vision. We absolutely agree on the idea of ​​helping the high-tech industry in the mainland."

After finishing speaking, Su Yehao was worried that the old man's heart would be chilled, so he added: "How about this, I will find a way to secretly provide you with a sum of funds, first set up a research team for chips, the more low-key the better. The foundry will not be able to receive orders at that time, delaying development, the chip is more important than the operating system, [-] million Hong Kong dollars a year, continue to invest in you for five years, is it enough?"

heard.

Mr. Ni regained his energy in an instant, and asked back, "What are your requirements?"

"The requirement is to develop mid-to-low-end products for home appliances first, and not let people know that it has something to do with me. It is best to find an agent to stand for me in the open."

Su Yehao smiled wryly in his heart.

I was already prepared to refuse, but my heart softened in the face of the old man's enthusiasm.

He dared to promise to secretly provide research and development funds, but he was also betting that the United States now pays more attention to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other places, and is lax about the mainland.

In fact, with the current level of technology in the mainland, it is really impossible to develop cutting-edge computer CPUs, and there is a shortage of talents and technologies.

Even if Su Yehao provides funds, there is still no hope of bypassing the patent barriers of the West for a while. It can only be said to make preparations and cultivate some talents, so as to prevent the entire domestic chip research and development industry from being wiped out.

Seeing that Su Yehao promised [-] million a year for five years in a row, Mr. Ni laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and told him:

"I understand what you mean. I am worried that the news of my research and development will spread. Intel doesn't sell chips, and they don't give you processing orders, right? Japanese semiconductors have been disabled by the United States. It is true to be careful, so first Research on low-end products, this part of the market is larger.”

"Don't you understand everything?"

Now it was Su Yehao's turn to sigh, and said again:

"No matter what you are researching at that time, you must declare it to be low-end. Even if you succeed, you must say you have failed. In addition, the research institute should be located in Hong Kong City. Even if the news leaks out, at least it will not sound so eye-catching. Then it will be convenient for you to recruit people..."

Chapter 603

Finish talking with Mr. Ni.

Knowing that the other party still had something to do back to Forty-Nine City, and had already bought a ticket for the evening, Su Yehao told the lobby manager to send him to the airport later.

on the way home.

Only Su Yehao was interested, and looked through the document prepared by the old man, that is, the "Feasibility Report on the Development of Domestic Computer CPU and Domestic Operating System".

It's a thick stack, with as many as thirty pages, prepared with great care.

However, after watching, Su Yehao gradually realized that something was wrong. Mr. Ni introduced the contents of several related research institutions on the chip.

And mentioned that the above has begun to realize that the government should play the role of investors and supporters in the development of these industries, rather than blindly trying to lead, so it tried to reform several scientific research units into enterprises and raise funds from the market.

in the summary section.

Mr. Ni also mentioned that it is correct for Su Yehao to try to develop the foundry business, which can solve the problem of not having relevant manufacturing capabilities.

Therefore, I only suggest that Su Yehao provide financial assistance to solve the research and development of low-end integrated circuits and chips during the reform of those scientific research units.
