The end of technology.

But Wang Yunling obviously didn't have such worries. Not only did she not close the curtains, but she started waving at the couple outside.

……

"My mother, that's my mother." When the train stopped slowly, Lu Xiaoya also saw her mother who was waving at her.

There is no way, the business car arranged by the organization has only two rows of seats, and the windows are so big that it is difficult not to notice.

Following the direction of Lu Xiaoya's finger, Ning Zi saw the woman who was waving through the car window, and also saw the joy in the woman's eyebrows and eyes when she saw her daughter, but at this moment, Ning Zi's heart first rose. What is more is a trace of loss.

The lack of maternal love in childhood actually had a great impact on him. For example, he often appeared indifferent emotionally. It was not that he was indifferent, but that this lack made him not understand how to express his feelings. .

Fortunately, there is Ning Xiao, a carefree cousin who made up for part of the lack of love in the process of Ning Zi's growth, and an uncle who sees the world very clearly and cares about it from time to time. After all, Ning Zi was not allowed to grow up. The neutral character has become extremely extreme, but it is still not easy to deal with.

Zhang Haifeng probably had the most say on this point.

Ning Zi is not easy to deal with and has even reached a consensus at a very high level.A strong sense of self-protection and a strong sense of territoriality are conclusions drawn after verification.The attitude of nonviolent non-cooperation is very smooth.Feeling dissatisfied with a decision, he really dares to disappear, and he doesn't even think about resolving disputes through dialogue.

So for Ning Zi to open up and talk about a relationship, everyone is happy to see it come true from top to bottom.Although people cannot be absolutely rational, a scientist with a very high IQ and a rationality that does not look like an individual is actually the scariest.

At least in Zhang Haifeng's view, being able to fall in love shows that Ning Zi has emotional needs.If he was in his twenties and didn't even need love, then he really didn't dare to say "make friends" in front of Ning Zi.

He was afraid that Ning Zi would cheat him to death one day, so he was still counting the money for him.

So every time you can see traces of feelings in Ning Zi, it is actually very gratifying. This kind of comfort comes from peace of mind.On the contrary, Ning Zi, who is bored in the room and laboratory every day, will most likely only make people feel scary.

With the lessons learned from the past, he may dream every day that this guy has done something big again.

So at this time, when Zhang Haifeng, who had been focusing on Ning Zi, was sensitive to the fluctuations in Ning Zi's mood, he only felt very relaxed, which was good.

……

"Uncle, Auntie, I'm Ning Zi."

No matter how complicated Lu Yichuan's mood was, when he got off the train, he met his daughter's boyfriend right away.

Not only did he say something, he could only smile stiffly and nod to Ning Zi, as a greeting.

In fact, Lu Yichuan himself didn't know what his expression was like at this time, but before he felt embarrassed, Wang Yunling greeted him warmly: "You are Xiao Ning, you are more handsome in real life than in the photos. Hey, Our Xiaoya's luck is really good. By the way, you must be very busy, right? You came here to pick us up, Xiaoya is just not sensible..."

"Mom, it's not me..."

"Yes, auntie, it was actually Mr. Zhang who notified me. This is Zhang Haifeng, the vice president of Qiangdun Group." Ning Zi introduced Zhang Haifeng who was standing aside to the two of them.

Speaking of which, Zhang Haifeng will be Lu Yichuan's leader from now on.

This time, Lu Yichuan's job transfer is to come to Qiangdun Company as a coach.But instead of teaching free combat, he is a physical coach.

"Hello, both of you, you have worked hard all the way." Zhang Haifeng hurriedly stepped forward and said politely.

Zhang Haifeng was personally responsible for the transfer of work between Lu Yichuan and Wang Yunling. The two parties had also chatted on WeChat. Although they met for the first time, they couldn't be called strangers.

"Hi Mr. Zhang, today we can see a real person. We didn't work hard. We have to thank Mr. Zhang for his help these days." Wang Yunling said enthusiastically.

Zhang Haifeng glanced at Ning Zi, and greeted him more enthusiastically: "Where, where, we are eager for talents. I heard that Coach Lu's professional ability is first-class in the capital. Looking forward to it."

Speaking of which, Zhang Haifeng took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Yichuan, and now Lu Yichuan couldn't hold back any longer, and quickly put down his only suitcase and said, "Boss Zhang is too polite, I will do my best."

"Okay, don't be too polite, hurry up and get out of the way, or you will run into a traffic jam if you delay, you should have nothing to say on the road." Lu Xiaoya urged, and logically ended the embarrassing greetings at the station.

……

On the way back, Zhang Haifeng was still sitting in the original seat, Lu Xiaoya was holding her father's arm all the way, and naturally sat in the middle of the car with Lu Yichuan when getting in the car, and Ning Zi sat in the back of the car with Wang Yunling. Row.

Along the way, Wang Yunling basically kept talking, chatting with Ning Qi, but Zhang Haifeng admired the communication ability of the mistress of the Lu family.Unlike other mother-in-laws, Wang Yunling didn't talk much about Ning Zi's family situation, most of them focused on caring and understanding Ning Zi and Lu Xiaoya's study and life at the university.

It's not very nagging, it's not the kind of relationship that would be annoying, especially some exhortations even made Zhang Haifeng shed tears.

"Our Xiaoya is very clear about her temperament when she sees her. She actually has many advantages, and she is also simple. It's just that many times, she doesn't like to think too much when she does things and gives opinions. If you two know each other, you can still Being together is fate, and her father and I support it. But you are a great scientist after all, and it is enough to be able to make Xiaoya a little bit in some innocuous little things in life. When making some decisions that may have great and far-reaching consequences But you must not be disturbed by her. She doesn't understand anything about this, and she will come up with bad ideas, you can't help her mess around. If you are not sure, you should discuss it with adults."

Really, as long as these words fell into Zhang Haifeng's ears, he felt that the busy time during this period was worth it.

Of course, Lu Xiaoya definitely wouldn't think so. She turned her head and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I always actively avoid things I don't understand, so I never came up with bad ideas, okay?"

"I didn't talk to you, you shut up."

Ning Zi also replied seriously: "Well, auntie, don't worry, in fact Lu Xiaoya has never interfered with my decision. As you said, if there is really something important, I will think carefully before making a decision. Including Some of the previous things actually just sounded big, but the real impact was not that big."

Well, Zhang Haifeng, who is inconvenient to make a sound at this time, can only complain silently in his heart: "As long as the earth keeps spinning, it's not a big deal, and the impact is controllable!"

Well, no matter what, having one more person who understands reason and has a deep bond with Ning Zi come to the capital, which made Zhang Haifeng feel much better.

……

At the same time, the medium-sized conference room provided by the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley in East Palo Alto, California, USA was still lit, and the conference room was extremely lively. More than a dozen people in different clothes were still arguing or stealing in the conference room. whisper.

You must know that it is already three o'clock in the morning in Silicon Valley time, and the participants in the meeting are all bigwigs who control the world's technology industry, and most of them represent big companies that are well-known all over the world.

For example, Pat Kelsinger, CEO of Intel, Huang Wenhuang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, Sundar Pichai of Google, Su Xuzi of AMD, Charlie Macaulay, president of Siemens, etc., Paul Yale, chairman of Qualcomm, etc. Cobb, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella...

Of course, some consumers are not well-known among the consumers, but the heads of companies with top names in the industry, such as Synopsys President and Chief Operating Officer Sassian Gage, Cadence Electronics Noel Bernie, Robinson Jim Kumura, CEO of Mu Semiconductor...

In addition, the current chairman of Samsung, Li Zhaoming, and the chairman of TSMC, Liu Zhengpeng, who attended the meeting through video, also attended the meeting...

It is no exaggeration to say that these companies almost represent the most advanced productivity in the world's semiconductor and Internet industries.

Under normal circumstances, these people would not just gather together like this.

Only this time everyone felt the pressure, the pressure brought by Huaxia.

Whether it is the sudden burst of turbulent algorithm problems or the attack on virtual currency, these companies have realized that the patent moat they built before is suddenly not safe.Especially after Ning Zi announced with great fanfare that Apple had built the most advanced chip research and development center in Asia for the University, it made many of them feel worried.

It must be admitted that China is a large-scale emerging market for these companies. The rising purchasing power of residents and the increasing number of Internet users have improved the performance of most companies present to varying degrees.In fact, for the vast majority of companies participating in this meeting today, China has become an indispensable market for them.

But the problem is also here. After Ning Zi's university showed its own strong research and development capabilities, these people also began to fear what kind of impact it would have on the entire industry chain when Ning Zi started to preside over the chip research.

In fact, from the perspective of these technology companies, they really don't mind that Huaxia companies can make money, or even that Huaxia companies can make a lot of money. As long as it doesn't involve smashing their jobs and honestly pays patent fees, everything is fine. It can be discussed.

After all, they have more than 50 years of technology accumulation, and then built a towering moat through patent protection. These are the results of continuous high R&D investment. These moats also allow them to continue to stand on top of the world, decide and even overlook the world. direction of development.

But everything that happened now made everyone start to be vigilant.A modern chip research and development center can never be aimless.And according to the information they got, this research and development center even includes all stages of general chip research, which is very embarrassing.

Really, if it was before the turbulence algorithm was exposed, they would probably unite to put pressure on Apple, and it would be impossible to export some sensitive equipment to China, but it is obviously too late now.The R&D center has already been built.

The most frightening thing is that everyone can't make an accurate judgment on the research and development strength of Yanbei Sports University.

According to the general situation, China's chip research and development level and industrialization level are still quite backward. Even if we have such a research and development center, it will be difficult to say that it will be able to manufacture the world's most advanced general-purpose chips, or even The entire semiconductor industry chain has had a major impact on the technical level.

But at the same time, everyone did not believe that there would be an algorithm in a short period of time that could make the Internet immune to DDOS attacks, and no one believed that someone could crack the blockchain technology in a short period of time.We must know that in the research of scientists, blockchain encryption technology is almost unbreakable in the era of electronic computers. In theory, everyone hopes that quantum computers can achieve epoch-making technological breakthroughs.

But these two things happened almost simultaneously.

Everyone is not just sitting back and watching this kind of thing happen. Combined with the breakthrough of artificial intelligence in semantic recognition demonstrated by the M10 intelligent voice artificial assistant, in the analysis reports written by scientists hired by these top technology companies, they all suspect that Ning Zi is in Some work done at the mathematical level has laid the mathematical theoretical foundation for artificial intelligence, but Ning Zi has not published it.

This is a comprehensive judgment made in conjunction with Dominion Duncan's speech at the World Congress of Mathematicians.Now everyone does not know how much change will be brought to the semiconductor field in some application scenarios after the breakthrough in the artificial intelligence track.

But for Yanbei Sports University, which has created many miracles, no one dared to underestimate the impact of building such a chip research and development center on the entire industry at this time, so there was such a meeting.

In other words, everyone is scared.

It is hard to imagine the impact on these companies if the key technical difficulties in the field of high-end general-purpose chips are broken by the Chinese.

Think about it, once Huaxia's self-owned brands of CPU, GPU, DSP, various radio frequency chips, memory chips, and even industrial-grade chips start to hit the market, if they are paired with their own operating system, the blow to participating companies will be devastating. of.

In that case, it would not only be as simple as losing the Huaxia market, but Huaxia's products would even challenge these companies in the global market.It is impossible to maintain the profits that could have been earned lying down.

Before this doomsday scene occurs, it is indeed necessary for these bigwigs to discuss a strategy to kill the danger in its cradle.

Today's meeting has actually lasted for two days. These company bosses are very tight on time. It is naturally extremely annoying that they have not been able to reach a consensus on a topic for a long time.This is why today's meeting lasted until the early hours of the morning.

Everyone knows that they should unify their ideas as soon as possible and formulate a series of game rules to curb China's overall upgrade of the semiconductor industry.At this point everyone has reached a formula, and what they fear has to be prevented from happening.Even if it cannot be stopped, at least the process must be delayed.

However, due to their respective interests, these leading companies cannot reach a consensus.

To put it simply, everyone has reached an agreement on their goals and appeals, but they all have their own ideas on the details of implementation.So the current scene has been achieved, quarreling, discussing, talking about each other...

Until someone can't stand it anymore.

"Everyone, gentlemen, please be quiet first, be quiet!" Huang Wenhuang took the microphone and said loudly after turning on the microphone.

If anyone in the on-site meeting had the biggest opinion on Ning Zi at the moment, it would probably belong to the chairman of Nvidia.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe Huang Wenhuang at this time as being overwhelmed.

Even now that Nvidia has taken a multi-pronged approach, desperately trying to cause the impact of the destruction of the virtual currency industry, it still has little effect.

Countless mining machines were abandoned, and batches of mining cards began to flood into the market without planning. As a result, the prices of graphics cards all over the world are in a state of extreme confusion.

It is no longer a price per day.

Countless dealers who are eager to get out have already started the big sale mode, and even the mainstream game cards that were released last year have already been knocked down by half of the price.This is already looking for a buyer at a loss.

This has also contributed to the waiting mentality of consumers, and even players around the world who have demand for graphics cards are cheering and waiting for the party to finally win once.The current situation is that brand-new graphics cards can't compete with mining cards at all, because as long as they are game cards, they are directly defined as mining cards by players. If mining cards want to sell at a high price, then they are proper profiteers...

This is naturally a huge blow to countless manufacturers.

So many raw materials have been ordered, and the storage cost of semiconductor components is not cheap.The weak demand from graphics card manufacturers is naturally transmitted to upstream companies.This also directly forced Nvidia into a very embarrassing situation.A large number of GPU core orders are cancelled. If the latest GPU technology is released this year, it means that there may be a larger backlog of previous products, and the price will fall further...

Now Nvidia's stock price has plummeted and sales are weak, which also means that the investment in research and development has to shrink. If the technical reserves are thrown out at one time, it means that they may be scolded for many years in the future...

The culprit of everything is Ning Zi.

Originally, according to Nvidia's plan, they could develop graphics cards specially suitable for mining, slowly digest the mining cards put into the market in batches, and then achieve a soft landing calmly, but the current situation is that the price of graphics cards It fell down with a posture that was so hard that it couldn't be harder...

If you want to evaluate who most wants Ning Zi to die suddenly, Huang Wenhuang is definitely one of them.

……

The meeting scene gradually quieted down after Huang Wenhuang picked up the microphone.

After all, everyone knows that it is impossible to reach a consensus if the debate continues like this.

"Everyone, let me just say a few words. I think you know the challenges you are facing now. If you don't know the urgency of the problem, I suggest you turn on your computer, search for the current market situation of game graphics cards, and then think about it. What a wayward behavior of one individual has an effect on the market! Let’s just say it, it’s a devastating effect.”

"So I hope that when you think about the problem, please think about the character of that person. He doesn't care about the rules. With all due respect, Ning's character is no different from the evil scientist in the movie. I think he will even think that he has been doing the right thing. It’s terrible, because everyone should not try to persuade him to give up his ideas by lobbying. In fact, after this incident, we also tried to contact him, but never succeeded.”

"If you are still not sure about this, you should ask Google, ask Cisco, and ask what happened to the delegations who have gone to China to negotiate with him on the turbulent algorithm. You don't even need to ask, you can search on the Internet So everyone, let's put down those small thoughts, you can't be sure in which direction he will exert his strength in the future, and then start to disrupt the situation."

"I have a feeling that this is our last chance. If we can't curb his ideas, it will mean that we will fail in the market in the future. Mr. Kelsinger, Intel is a great company, and your CPU is This is the best-selling general-purpose chip in the world, but remember it is only now. I have no doubt that if he starts to focus on the chip field, he will start with the CPU first.”

"Also, Sassien, Noel, Charlie, if you continue to provide unlimited software support to the Huaxia people, will they be willing to continue to pay you sky-high licensing fees when they taste the sweetness in the field of general-purpose chips? Youwei Group, obviously has chips provided by Qualcomm to choose from, but they have to spend huge sums of money to develop their own CPU. You should be able to understand the logic of this behavior. Huaxia is no longer willing to pay out the largest part of its profits. "

"Why did Ning Zi only support the M1O series of products? Is it just that Youwei Group is a Huaxia company? But Huaxia is not just a smartphone manufacturer of Youwei Group. In fact, the internal competition of Huaxia smartphones is also very fierce. I know that there are four companies that have a certain influence in the world. After seeing the marketing miracle of M10, are they still indifferent? Do you think it is possible?"

"In fact, as far as I know, they all tried their best to contact Ning Zi, hoping to get authorization. But except for Apple, they were rejected without exception. As for why Apple can get a different look, I believe everyone understands. I don't want to comment too much on Apple's actions here, Mr. Cook is an entrepreneur I respect very much, but there is no doubt that he has dealt with it extremely short-sighted in this matter."

"Okay, everyone should be able to see the problem from it. You should be able to understand Ning Zi's purpose. He wants to disrupt the situation. If you don't teach him a painful lesson, he will not restrain himself. Yes, Huaxia is a The market that cannot be given up is the same for Nvidia, but if they don’t suffer short-term pains and let them provide the tools we provide to help them develop, the final loss will be the hard work of everyone here.”

"We represent 64 companies at this meeting, and when our 64 companies can still decide the development of the semiconductor industry today, I strongly agree with the establishment of an alliance organization on the development of China's semiconductor industry. Everyone follows the unified Step by step, guide the development direction of China's related industries. We need to speak out and tell them what they can and cannot do, instead of letting them eat away at them step by step."

"Warning everyone again, I am definitely not scaremongering. Ning Zi has already proved with his actions that when he has the ability to destroy an industry, he will never be lenient. Especially when he has repeatedly done so without receiving corresponding responses In other cases, I would be even more unscrupulous. So I suggest that if you don’t want to join our company, you should also be targeted by the league’s rules.”

"Of course, I also have a suggestion. We should find a way to raise funds to provide cash subsidies to some enterprises in the alliance that are greatly affected by the alliance's policies. In order to enhance the cohesion of the alliance and ensure that the implemented policies can be implemented. A strict attitude is necessary. Yes. Well, my speech is over."

After speaking, close the microphone.

This time, however, there were no more controversies, including company decision makers who participated remotely via video.

After a long silence, the president of Samsung who participated in the meeting via video said: "I agree with Mr. Huang's opinion."

"Then everyone who agrees with Mr. Huang's opinion, please raise your hands..."

Many people in the meeting room started to raise their hands, and soon more than half of them, even many bigwigs who were still hesitating, finally raised their hands, and everyone agreed in the end.

"It seems that everyone has already agreed that this is indeed a threat. Then today we got the biggest harvest, unanimously approved the establishment of the Semiconductor Alliance. Of course, this also means that everyone has approved the detailed rules of the alliance agreement that have been discussed before. Maybe tomorrow we can reach more agreement, including not limited to discussing sanctions against challengers in the semiconductor field.”

"In any case, this is a good start. Thank you, Mr. Huang, and everyone. I will still be here at ten o'clock tomorrow, but before that, if you still have the energy, you can study some of the sanctions in the issued documents. If There are better proposals, and I can add them tomorrow. In fact, I very much agree with what Mr. Huang said just now. This may be our last chance. If everyone is still unwilling to unite, there may not be a better chance. Let's rest first."

……

Huaxia, Beijing.

The car has already arrived at Qiangdun Company's residence in the capital for Louis Chuan and his wife, which belongs to the company's dormitory complex.

The environment of the community is good, and the arranged rooms are also good.

A house with three bedrooms and two halls, with a total of 136 square meters.

The interior decoration is good and well maintained. Although the furniture is old, most of it is made of solid wood, which does not look old, and the home appliances are all brand new.

Apparently Zhang Haifeng also put a lot of thought into this piece.

After all, housing in Beijing is expensive.

Ning Zi also brought the gift that Zhang Haifeng had prepared in advance to the room.

"Oh, you kid, you came here to pick us up, how can you give a gift? Eh..."

"Oh, Sister Wang, Ning Zi knew that you liked agarwood, so I went to find a piece of Qinan. I also heard that Coach Lu likes to drink tea. These are two cans of authentic Dahongpao that Ning Zi asked for from friends. They can be regarded as children A heart." Zhang Haifeng quickly replied.
