Revisiting Future Path

138th Cambrian 2007

Zeng Liqing: "I heard that your academic performance has not fallen, how is your college entrance examination?"

Wei Dongsheng: "It's okay."

Zeng Liqing's drunkard didn't mean to drink, so he warmed up the atmosphere with a chat on the topic of the college entrance examination, and immediately urged: "Are there any plans to come to Shenpeng recently?"

Wei Dongsheng refused: "I'm afraid it won't work this month."

Zeng Liqing learned the lesson this time, and before Wei Dongsheng gave the reasons for his refusal, he took the lead to confess partly: “That’s it. Tencent is currently preparing to adjust its shareholding structure and reposition Chunteng Games. Chunqiu holds 15% of Tencent’s equity, and the general meeting of shareholders cannot Without you. Before the general meeting of shareholders, we would like to communicate with you face to face and sincerely."

Wei Dongsheng thought for a while: "July, I really can't spare time in June."

Zeng Liqing reluctantly said: "About what time is July?"

Wei Dongsheng: "After Cambrian 2004, the next generation of supercomputer Cambrian 2007, the project will be held in late June. I have to go to Yanjing to attend this meeting and personally answer questions about its theory and feasibility. What is the specifics? Time to go to Shenpeng depends on whether the Cambrian 2007 project can be successfully established."

Zeng Liqing wondered: "Cambrian 2004C is not the end of Cambrian 2004, right?"

Wei Dongsheng: "The Cambrian 2004 project does not affect the establishment of the Cambrian 2007 project. Have you heard that the United States has put a chip ban on the agenda? Maybe in March, maybe three years, the United States will completely cut off Zhiyu's information industry and The business relationship between Intel and AMD. In order to maintain the supercomputer business, Zhiyu Information Industry and Zhiyu Integrated Circuit Design are preparing to develop their own chips and make their own supercomputers with their own chips."

Zeng Liqing sighed: "It is really difficult for us to develop in China. If we are behind, others will call you stupid; if we catch up, we will try every means to kill you. However, the Cambrian 2007 is about to establish a project, why hasn't the relevant news come out? ?"

Wei Dongsheng: "The Ministry of Science and Technology regards Cambrian 2007 as a short spear to counter the US chip ban. At present, it needs to maintain a fight with the United States without breaking the situation. Before the US official ban, Cambrian 2007 will not be granted in principle. Propaganda."

Zeng Liqing: "Oh, this is a state secret."

Wei Dongsheng laughed and said: "The mainstream channels don't allow publicity, just say it in private, otherwise, how can we let the United States know that we will never wait and die."

Zeng Liqing does not know the power structure of Zhiyu series companies, but understands the power of Zhiyu series companies. Zhiyu series companies have a troika, focusing on the Zhiyu information industry for supercomputers, Zhiyu integrated circuit design for chip design, and Zhiyu Technology for terminal design such as MP3 and mobile phones.

This troika has the highest reputation in the Zhiyu Information Industry. In June 2005, it was ranked among the top 500 supercomputers in the world. Among the top 22, 13 supercomputers were developed by Zhiyu Information Industry.

Zhiyu Technology’s first product in the MP3 player industry last year, "YU1", was an explosive model with a sales volume of hundreds of thousands; the "Zhiyu Music" music phone that will be launched this year, thanks to the accumulation of YU1's reputation, rumors have already predicted 300,000 units sold. A Zhiyu Music is 3650 yuan; 300,000 pieces, or 1.095 billion, a Zhiyu Technology can match and surpass Tencent.

Zhiyu IC Design Company is even more terrifying. The sales volume of MP3 launched by Zhiyu Technology is only hundreds of thousands; Zhiyu Music has only 300,000 pre-sale orders. Such a scale is worthy of respect, but its influence on the entire MP3 player and the entire mobile phone industry is very limited. Chips launched by Zhiyu Integrated Circuit Design Company, especially the Nation series of chips with cheap quality, quickly swept the entire Chinese mobile phone market and even the world market like a flood. Zhiyu integrated circuit design slightly favors control of chip shipments, and can indirectly control the rise and fall of a small and medium-sized mobile phone manufacturer. More and more mobile phone manufacturers are bound to Zhiyu chariots by Nation series chips. Tencent dare not ignore the excessive profits of chip sales or the invisible influence of Zhiyu integrated circuit design.

For the country, the value of the Spring and Autumn series of companies is very limited. Apart from Chunqiu Search, which deserves a little attention, online game businesses such as Chunqiu Network will die if they die. The Spring and Autumn Network died, and network operators such as Shanda and NetEase quickly filled the vacancies. The Huaguo online game market is still the Huaguo online game market. Chunqiu Network cannot influence the life and death of China's online game market alone, and China cannot rely on the online game industry to lead 1.3 billion people to a revival.

The value of the Zhiyu series of companies is completely different, especially the Zhiyu information industry and Zhiyu integrated circuit design, which have already involved the national strategic layout. Unless Ji Woo does his own death, the factions in the bureaucracy that believe in the interests of the Chinese nation and the nation will take the initiative to forge friendly relations with Ji Woo, and then resist coveting from other factions and attacks from enemy countries.

Gamers in a room may feel that it is better to concentrate on making a good game than anything else; people with a global vision can understand the different weights of Chunqiu and Zhiyu, and value Zhiyu more than Chunqiu.

Chunqiu is not as important as Zhiyu, let alone Tencent, which is second to Chunqiu?

I heard that Cambrian 2007 is not only the next-generation supercomputer, but also an important part of countering the US ban based on domestic chips. Zeng Liqing decisively put out the idea of ​​persuading Wei Dongsheng to go south: "In July, I will call again."

After finishing the call, Huo Yongshan continued the topic: "Zhiyu is going to build a supercomputer with domestic chips?"

Wei Dongsheng replied: "Yes."

Huo Yongshan knew nothing about the chip industry, and suddenly a wonderful imagination: "The Cambrian 2004 is 2004 in 2004, and the Cambrian 2007 means that it will come out in 2007?"

Wei Dongsheng nodded: "If all goes well, we can see results in 2007."

Huo Yongshan continued to imagine: "After 2007, will our computers be able to install Zhiyu CPU?"

Wei Dongsheng smiled: "How is it possible. The so-called domestically produced CPU of the Cambrian 2007 project is a CPU exclusively for supercomputers. The civilian market is not considered for the time being."

Huo Yongshan hopes to turn disappointed: "Why not consider the civilian market?"

The answer is no ability.

In fact, the threshold for the design of chips such as CPUs is not very high. Huaguo can't make top-notch ones, and can also make moderate ones; Intel's X86 instruction set is not so good that it can’t be replaced. It seems that its variable instruction length feature causes memory paging When changing pages, you must consider the possibility that an instruction may be truncated, which has been complained for a long time. However, with the development of the times, the instruction set has minimal impact on chip performance. The real lifeblood of the chip industry is ecosystem competition. The success of X86 is the success of Intel and Microsoft. The success of ARM in the future mobile phone field also depends on Apple. Joint promotion with Google.

The instruction set is good, but the ecosystem is difficult.

It is easy to develop a CPU, but it is difficult to get all well-known manufacturers in the world to support you.

The Loongson project of the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successively launched Loongson 1 and Loongson 2. In terms of performance data, Loongson 2C can still make do with it. However, if you transplant the Godson-2 to a user's computer and operate a Windows system, you don't need to think too much, and the result will definitely be hahahaha, lazy and crashed. The same is true for Zhiyu’s dilemma. Even if it launches high-quality chips that surpass Godson-2 or even Intel’s latest products, they will be restrained by the ecosystem and shelved.

Instead of competing with the already accomplished Intel on the PC side with half the effort, it is better to accumulate strength to prepare for corner overtaking and try to get a share in the future smart phone market war. Wei Dongsheng understands the threshold of the ecosystem, and also understands that the PC market is close to saturation, and decisively abandoned the unrealistic civilian CPU route. The Cambrian 2007 project only considered the development of dedicated CPUs.

Huo Yongshan and Dong Xi are laymen, no matter how much Wei Dongsheng said, they couldn't understand them.

Wei Dongsheng was too lazy to talk in depth, and concluded in a few words before ending today's meeting. Saying goodbye to Huo Yongshan, Wei Dongsheng exchanged development opinions with Song Ningxing, the mayor of Panyang City, and rushed to Yanjing by plane the next day to participate in the Cambrian 2007 project.

The Cambrian 2007 project was successfully established, or it should be said that the relevant departments did not pay enough attention to it.

At the national level, there is the well-known Loongson from the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as Shenwei led by the No. 56 General Staff, which is not yet familiar to the public. Coordinates Shenhai, the Hanxin incident of Chen Jin, a well-known craftsman in the future, has not yet been exposed.

Before Zhiyu IC has made any results, the relevant departments are based on the strategic thinking of balancing the strong and supporting the weak, considering that Zhiyu's mobile phone chip business has begun to make profits, and are more willing to support the relatively weak Loongson and Hanxin. Fortunately, Zhiyu did not have the luxury of relying on national investment in research and development. Before applying for relevant subsidies, Cambrian 2007 had already used the profits from MP3 audio decoder chips, mobile phone chips and other chips to start the research and development of Cambrian 2007 supercomputer special chips.

Zhiyu did not ask for money from the country, or in a hurry to ask for money from the country, the Cambrian 2007 project naturally went smoothly.

Just after finishing the preparations for the Cambrian 2007 project, Wei Dongsheng suddenly received a call from Wei Manman: "Guess, how many scores did you take?"

Wei Dongsheng later realized: "The college entrance examination results have been announced?"

Wei Manman: "You are so busy that you forgot to announce the college entrance examination results today. Well, the website has just been able to check the college entrance examination scores online. Guess, how many scores did you take?"

Wei Dongsheng: "About seven hundred and thirty."

Wei Manman: "Wrong."

Wei Dongsheng: "If it's too much, it's still less."

Wei Manman: "Less."

Wei Dongsheng: "Haha, it seems that the Chinese teacher who approves the paper feels that my paper is clean and has more tolerated scores."

Wei Manman sold it for a while and took the initiative to report the answer: "744 points, your college entrance examination score is 744 points. Chinese points are 144 points, English is 150 points, mathematics is 150 points, and science is 300 points. Except for Chinese, all are full marks. Not only refreshed The record of our school, the record of Hedong Province has also been refreshed by you. The online news report said that Hedong Province ranked second in the province with only 686 points, which is a full 58 points away from you. It is simply frantic. The provincial first place. It is the first time that Hedong Province has made a breakthrough since it resumed the college entrance examination."
