Chapter 219 217.(1/2)

!!!

"No, no, I'm now, I can't do technical work anymore."

In front of Cao Yang, an old man with a thin face and silver hair was sitting.

He waved his hand and showed a shy smile like a child, feeling that he could not adapt to the work proposed by Cao Yang.

This person's name is-

Ni Guangnan.

Ni Guangnan is a controversial academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one of the earliest academicians in the country. His main achievement lies in the creation of the Associative Han Card.

In early computer use, because of the limited processing capacity of the computer, in order to improve the efficiency of the computer and reduce frequent access to memory during the Chinese character input process, Ni Guangnan led a team to develop a Han card in 1986.

Using Han Card can effectively increase the speed of the computer and minimize the memory space occupied by the computer.

Its publication completely solved the problem of using Chinese characters in computers for Chinese people and promoted the rapid popularization and application of microcomputers in China.

Later, Ni Guangnan was named an academician for his outstanding contributions to the Chinese computer industry.

The most famous deed about him is the [Liu Ni dispute] that happened during Lenovo

In November 1984, the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences decided to establish the "New Technology Development Company of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" owned by the whole people.

Abbreviated as "Computing Institute Company", Ni Guangnan was invited to serve as the company's chief engineer in December, bringing all the technologies of Lenovo Hanka into the company.

This is the association of the future.

The founder of the company is called Liu Chuanzhi.

Back then, there was a classic story about "three entrepreneurs found three scientists and made three well-known enterprises" in Zhongguancun: Liu Chuanzhi found Ni Guangnan and developed a Lenovo-style Han card, which made Lenovo; Zhang Yufeng found Wang Xuan and developed a Founder laser illumination system, which made Founder; Wan Runnan found Wang Jizhi, developed a four-way typewriter, which made Four-way.

When Ni Guangnan accepted Liu Chuanzhi's invitation, he put forward three conditions: one is not an official, two is not an interview, and three is not an attendee. He wanted to focus his time and energy on research and development.

Later, he did not break his promise and devoted all his energy to Lenovo's research and development.

With the cooperation between Liu and Ni, Lenovo is getting bigger and bigger, backed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with excellent technical support, national support and various policy benefits, and has become the largest computer supplier in China.

As of 1994, Lenovo's sales reached 4.76 billion yuan.

What an exaggerated number this is. Even by 2004, Bomi's annual revenue was only about 3 billion yuan in 2003. (Honor of Kings series 600 million, Three Kingdoms 0nline 800 million, Jing Dance Group 1 billion, and Game Hall 800 million.)

By 1995, there was a serious disagreement between Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan.

The main difference lies in whether to take the [technology, industry and trade] or [trade, industry and technology] route in the future.

Technology, industry and trade means that it focuses on R&D technology and conducts trade around R&D.

Trade and Industry Technology is the opposite.

Ni Guangnan is a firm [technology, industry and trade]ist. He has been following the path of persisting in R&D throughout his life, believing that technology is the primary productive force.

Liu Chuanzhi was a businessman, and he was considering how to make more money and buy technology when he had money in the future.

So a scientist who is not afraid of failure disagrees with an entrepreneur who needs to act cautiously. Their ultimate goal is to go from the bottom of the circle to the dome, but choose the opposite path to attack.

The media called the "Liu Ni dispute" a duel between the "market faction" and the "technical faction". In that era, not only did Liu Chuan arrive, but other Lenovo directors and senior executives were on his side;

Not only Lenovo, but most entrepreneurs at that time chose the same way to deal with international competition;

Not only entrepreneurs, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences has chosen the "Lenovo Route".

A former boss of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said: "There are more scientists of the same level as Ni Guangnan than entrepreneurs of the same level as Liu Chuanzhi. When choosing one of two, you can only choose Liu Chuanzhi. Entrepreneurs are scarce resources in China." Therefore, not only Ni Guangnan, but Wang Jizhi was also swept out, and Wang Xuan encountered "forced palace".

The final result is obvious. Ni Guangnan was kicked out of the house and left Lenovo.

...

Just when Cao Yang came to him, Professor Ni Guangnan was already 65 years old, and he had just experienced another nightmare-

In 1999, Ni Guangnan was just dismissed by Lenovo, and a man named Li Delai came to him.

He said he wanted to make chips, Chinese people's own chips.

When the domestic R&D chip field was blank, Li Dexue honed a technical team for making CPUs. Liu Qiang, Ph.D., from the Institute of Computing, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is the vice president in charge of R&D.

This technical team made Ni Guangnan's eyes lit up. He was ignorant of the world and thought he had seen the hope of restarting the "China Chip". He found money, government, resources, and people for Li Delei, but he did not ask for a penny, a piece of money.

However, the R&D funding provided above is very limited, only 20 million.

On the other hand, Li Delei is a businessman. When he first heard the above funding, he had already predicted the ending. This time, chip development is destined to be just a dream and a failed ending.

So Li Delei put all his "treasures" on ZF procurement and refused to supply customers in the market. These customers were all brought by Ni Guangnan with his personal reputation, so Ni Guangnan had no choice but to leave Fang Ark.

People also knew the result later—

Ark has released two chips, but they have serious technical flaws. They cannot be sold except to ZF.

Last year, at the end of 2003, after completing Ark 2, Li Delei withdrew from this plan.

...

Now Ni Guangnan is at home, and he is desperate to devote himself to hardware development twice, but he is heartbroken.

When Cao Yang was in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he knew this history.

Many people are saying that if Ni Guangnan won the battle between Ni and Liu in the end, would our country become different? Will it not be stucked by others on chips?

Unfortunately, there is no if in the world.

Ni Guangnan endorsed Li Deluo, but the Ark chips were in a mess. Later, Ni Guangnan endorsed Hanxin, and the result was that "Hanxin No. 1" was faked, which caused an uproar internationally.

In February 2003, Professor Chen Jin, dean of the Microelectronics School of Shanghai Jiaotong University, invented the "Hanxin No. 1", and with the help of "Hanxin No. 1", Chen Jin applied for dozens of scientific research projects and defrauded scientific research funds of up to hundreds of millions of yuan.

Two endorsements and two backstabs almost ruined the fate of the national chips.

After the Hanxin fraud, Ni Guangnan was suspected by the world. The country has invested so much, but you used some fake things to fool us. Not only did you deceive yourself, but it also delayed the domestic chip research and development and production.

From then on, it was difficult for domestic university chip research and development to attract funds, and it turned into private enterprise behavior.

However, there are very few companies that can truly invest money and strength to make a difference in the chip industry, which is why they are stuck in the future.

Ni Guangnan was one of the pioneers of China's early computer hardware development and an idealist. He has been working hard to promote our country's high-end technology industries throughout his life.

Although he made some mistakes in the process, because he was old and could not keep up with young people in terms of ability, he would be a little eager for quick success and instant benefits at some important moments, his greatest contribution, in Cao Yang's view, is to have a innocent heart. He spared no effort to make calls for the development of the country's chips and semiconductor industry, and was deceived again and again, and was hurt to the point of being exhausted, and was still willing to believe those who wanted to do research and development.

...

Professor Ni Guangnan was injured and stabbed by his back. Looking back now, his heart was really like a knife and his face was full of tears.

After chatting for a while, Cao Yang told him his true thoughts.

Since Professor Ni is now an outsider, and he has no selfishness and is devoted to the country's good, Cao Yang is not worried that he will know that the design of the [New Mobile Phone] will pose a threat to Bomi in the future.

This person should be the only person Cao Yang told him with all his heart and soul, and he could understand.

Cao Yang gestured in the air with his hands, and occasionally drawing the smartphone design in his memory with paper and pen.

It took about 3 hours, and Ni Guangnan became more and more impressed when he listened.

"Wow!"

After listening to Cao Yang's description, Ni Guangnan suddenly froze.

He was really a little surprised by Cao Yang's thoughts.

Nowadays, the whole world uses button-type mobile phones. The best operating system is Saipan, but Saipan is also designed based on button-type operations.

The idea proposed by Cao Yang is really too advanced and too bold.

Ni Guangnan fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time.

"Awesome, so awesome. This is something that only exists in science fiction novels." Professor Ni said.

"But I think we can make it, and these are all feasible."

What Cao Yang said is that not all the hardware is made by himself. Bomi provides design and develops its own operating system, and then buys all the hardware from others.

Then buy it and assemble it yourself.

Just like Xiaomi in my previous life.

No, as long as the operating system is its own, it will be much higher than Xiaomi, and at least you can see Apple's back.

There are three things in the most core of smartphones-

First, the operating system

Second, chip

Third, display screen

In this case, except for the operating system, Chinese people can also have enough, and everything else is difficult.

Needless to say, the chip is something that you can’t do even if you can design it, and even if you can do it, you can’t do it so finely.

It requires too many pre-processing processes. Just a lithography machine requires a lot of time, manpower and material resources to study.

If you don't want to develop your own lithography machine, you have to buy it from someone else's hands.

The technical barriers to display screens are also very high, and there are too many things involved in this industrial chain, which is also a very important part.

However, among these, the operating system is the most important thing, because the operating system is the rule.
