The end of technology.

……

The world outside the laboratory, as judged by the kind-hearted cat master, has become a little chaotic.

In fact, when the cooperation rules were published on the official website of Yanbei Sports University Chip R&D Center in March, it was definitely not only the companies of the World Semiconductor Alliance that attracted attention at this time, the mobile phones of Ning Zi and related people were about to be blown up.

Just out of respect for the word "retreat", Ning Zi simply ignored the calls and messages.

Of course, those involved were not so lucky.

The first to bear the brunt of course is Chen Yonggang.

Principal Chen has already discovered that as long as Ning Zi does something, he can always come up with something that makes him laugh and cry when he is not in school.

It was the same last time, and it will be the same this time.

Without saying hello to anyone, the policy suddenly changed, which naturally aroused a lot of suspicion.

These people came to Ning Zi and found that there was no one answering Ning Zi's phone, so they came to him.

It's fine for others, he just slaps it and it's over, but it's obviously useless for some leaders, and Chen Yonggang found that he always has a few leaders who can accurately ask questions that appear to be extremely incompetent.

For example, after the old leader didn't get any useful information from him, after scolding him, he finally asked a question: "I don't know, I don't know, who is in charge of the official website of your body chip research and development center?" , you, the principal of the University of Physical Education, should know? Ning Zi can't find it, and you don't know the person responsible for maintaining the website? Find him and ask who ordered to upload these contents. Isn't it difficult for you? something?"

Really, after being reminded by the old leader, Chen Yonggang apologized and admitted his mistake, and promised to message the old leader as soon as he got the news. After hanging up the phone, he was busy looking for the person in charge of the background maintenance of the official website of the R&D center, but Soon Chen Yonggang suddenly discovered that he, the principal, might be really incompetent.

Called and asked around and got no answer.

This is strange, whether it is the director of the chip research and development center, the heads of various laboratories, or almost all the staff in Ningyuan from top to bottom, everyone who can ask Chen Yonggang has asked, but no one knows the research and development. Which unit is responsible for the official website of the center, and who is the person in charge.

The website filing showed that the person in charge of the registered website was Kim Jong-nam, and Kim Jong-nam's passport was also uploaded, but when Chen Yonggang asked about Kim Jong-nam, he found that this guy didn't know about it at all.He just vaguely remembered that Ning Zi asked him to cooperate with the registration of Ning Yuan and the R&D Center's external website.

But he has never participated in website maintenance at all, and he has never seen what the backstage of the website looks like.

Well, now Chen Yonggang felt that he was indeed quite incompetent.

The background maintainers of the two official websites were most likely hidden in the body, and he couldn't find them.

It is absolutely impossible for Ning Zi to defend it, because Ning Zi doesn't have the time to do such messy things.

Fortunately, Chen Yonggang was a bachelor enough to call the leader back after realizing that his abilities were limited.

Then a roar was heard from the opposite side.

"What? You can't even find the website maintenance personnel? What do you do as the principal? Come on, tell me, what do you do every day?"

"Well... I have to review this. The main reason is that I put too much energy on doing various services for students, professors, lecturers and R&D personnel, and neglected some management work..."

"you……"

A jack-of-all-trades answer, no one can say it's wrong.Of course, it can be understood directly from the literal meaning. After all, Ning Zi, who is big, just upgraded from a student status to a professor status not long ago.There is such a person in the school, as the principal, it is enough to do a good job in service.

Although it is said that the principal should also steer the development direction of the school, he needs to do a good job in various management tasks.

But the problem is that Chen Yonggang has amplified his courage time and time again to plan the future development of the University, but whenever the development plan he made is always easily made by Ning Zi, these plans seem outdated; The Internet shouted that it will take five years to make the University a super-class research university in China.

About half a year has passed since the slogan was chanted, and now it seems that it has been realized ahead of schedule.

Chip technology has completely surpassed, 70.00% of the leading scientific research figures at Shuangdan University have been poached in their prime years, and astronomy professors from Yanda University and Huaqing University have to come to the University to attend lectures, all of which are interpreting Comrade Chen’s formula The planning is somewhat conservative.

It was somewhat embarrassing that his thinking could not keep up with the development speed of the school.

As for management...

It is his normal job to manage the University, but Ning Yuan and the chip research and development center, although they have the brand name of the University, it is really difficult for him to intervene.This is the agreement he made with Ning Zi.

Not to mention the chip research and development center and Ningyuan's stall, which cost tens of billions of investment at every turn. He really wanted to take care of it, but Chen Yonggang knew very well that if he really listened to the leadership and put his hand into these two places, he was a big man. The headmaster is almost done.

Chen Yonggang saw this very clearly. To put it bluntly, the University was able to usher in the greatest development opportunity in history under his hands. To put it bluntly, it was because he knew how to advance and retreat thoroughly.Not to mention that the university can become what it is now, and can become a deputy ministerial unit, it really doesn't depend on the leadership being strong enough.

So even if he seemed a little incompetent, he could still answer confidently.

Some things that happened before have proved that when someone wants to pick a peach, there are people who can keep him, but anyway, it is not the people who called him today.

"Hey, old leader, you have to understand. It's the same if you change someone. You know how much money the University gets every year. It's not enough for the chip research and development center to order a few larger equipment. I really want to be tough. Point, take back the management rights of the R&D center, but it's not tough enough without spending money!

Or do you see this?You find a way to make a note and approve some money, and we will also invest 800 to [-] billion yuan in shares. I promise to make these things clear.Not only that, but I will ask Ning Zi to discuss with you first what decision the R&D center will make in the future, how about it? "

"go away!"

Chapter 184

People can be strong without desire.

This is probably Chen Yonggang's mentality at this time.

He really didn't want to improve any more. Being able to stay in the University until retirement was already the most perfect life for him.

According to the current pace of development of the University, until retirement, he is the most powerful principal in the world since ancient times. There is no one, and he must be included in the history books.

So Chen Yonggang really has nothing to pursue, and naturally he doesn't care about making jokes with the leaders.

Anyway, it is impossible to approve the tens of billions of notes, even if the old leader really has the courage to approve it...

That's even better, for things like appropriation, as long as the money arrives in Tida's account, he has the final say on how to use it.

For example, the administrative building of the University used to look good, but with the rapid development of the University, it is not so grand and has no special features. It is quite good to rebuild a building.Now that the University is developing into a comprehensive university, the science building is too simple. If possible, build another twin building, and the enrollment will double next year.

The situation of Pearl Shuangdan University next year is worrying. He has to think about many students and not let young students be deceived by those schools that have no name.

One by one, one by one, is very important, so naturally it seems that dealing with the leadership is not very important.

Of course, the other end of the phone probably also knew Chen Yonggang's little thoughts, and after a few curses, he had no choice but to do so.There is no way, after all, the system still needs someone who can talk to Ning Zi.

Everyone has seen Ning Zi's temper, and they all know how difficult it is to deal with, and this guy protects his weaknesses.

There are many people who are unhappy with Ning Zi, but there is no way, this boy is now a national treasure-level scientist, he is so headstrong and has a lot of people to accompany him.

Extremely capable, an absolute leader in China's future scientific research field, with a protective personality, stubborn, willful, reckless in doing things, and dare to turn the table...

All these characteristics are combined, so that the leader actually has no way to deal with Chen Yonggang's hob meat. The most he can do is swear a few words, then hang up the phone angrily, and then find an excuse to forgive this misplaced principal.

What else can be done?

If you really turn your face, maybe you will ask for it in the future if you have something to do.

……

Of course, it is not only the leaders who have been annoying Chen Yonggang at this time, the principal has to deal with many partners.

For example, Youwei, especially Apple.

To be honest, Ning Zi suddenly announced on the official website that he would share the new structure chip technology, and it was also a little sudden for these two quasi-ally allies.

Youwei is lucky, because the relationship is closer, and he has already obtained first-hand technical information and authorization, and has begun to plan the design and production of narrowband chips and radio frequency chips.Both chips are essential to the company's future robotics strategy.

Although the design logic of the chip embedded in the mobile phone is different from that embedded in the robot, it can be regarded as a familiarity for the group to do these things.From their perspective, they actually hope to have more collaborators.

But what Ning Zi's attitude is, they still hope to know the first time.

As for Apple, the significance of the new structure chip is naturally more important.

After all, if the process can be improved rapidly, it means that the A-series chips in a few years will also be able to use this new process, so that their own products can have more powerful performance.So Tim Cook has been actively communicating, hoping that Apple can get the relevant technology, but he didn't expect it to be in this form. He has to invest real money like those manufacturers in the World Semiconductor Alliance...

Obviously, this is extremely unfair from Apple's perspective.

After all, the large chip research and development center was built with Apple's assistance, so there should be some discounts, not to mention that Apple has multiple considerations and has not joined the World Semiconductor Alliance.

Yes, Tim Cook, who is in his office in the Apple headquarters building, is struggling.

It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets.

He still remembered that he made a special trip to Huaxia to meet Ning Zi for the upgrade of Apple's intelligent voice service system Siri more than a year ago.He even remembered what Ning Zi said when the two were having dinner in the dining room of the University's canteen: "Our technical reserves are enough to make Apple fall from the altar..."

Really, Tim Cook still remembers how he felt when he heard these words... Slightly upset, but still somewhat convinced.But at the time, based on his judgment based on scientific common sense, he believed that such a research and development center could not really pose any threat to the mature semiconductor industry chain for at least 20 years.

So he refused to invest more at the time and share the results of the R&D center in the future. Instead, he chose a more realistic solution, trading a R&D center for Ning Zi's long-term upgrade service for Siri.It now appears that Tim Cook must admit that he was too short-sighted.

But at that time, who would have believed that this research and development center was officially handed over to Ning Zi, but in just a few months, there were subversive results.

Still too careless.

After seeing the announcement on the official website of the R&D Center, he really wanted to have another in-depth conversation with Ning Zi, and re-discuss the cooperation between Apple and Tida. He can choose to make more concessions and at the same time get more development bases. I went to retreat again, and I can't contact anyone for the time being.

In order to understand these two words, he also called a Huaxia engineer in the company for advice, but he also got an ambiguous explanation.But he still understood some things. The engineer found out on Google that before Ning Zi came up with the new structure of the [-]D chip, he also announced that he had been closed for a period of time in the research center. After he came out, the chip had a finished product...

So in Tim Cook's understanding, Ning Zi's retreat probably means not seeing anyone, hiding in the laboratory and using magic.

He used it once half a year ago, and then Huaxia got the chip.

Half a year later, he decided to use it again, and God knows what he will come up with this time.

So soon, Tim Cook made a decision. After a year, he decided to go to Huaxia to take another look.He only needs to arrange the things at hand within a week, and then he can start his trip to China.After making his decision, Tim Cook pressed the answering device on his desk.

"Kai Li, renew the itinerary plan for me, I plan to go to Huaxia Capital next week..."

"Oh, good Mr. Cook."

"Go!"

……

Just when Tim Cook decided to go to China, after Cisco's negotiating team stayed in China for nearly half a year, they finally reached a package agreement with the School of Computer Science of the University of Physical Education.He returned to the United States with an intelligent software that could subvert the world.

Yes, this negotiation took a long time.

The reason is also very simple. Cisco does not have the ability to upgrade the software in the short term. This requires companies under the School of Computer Science to undertake the maintenance and upgrade of the software in the early stage. Data is shared with each other.

The focus of the negotiation is stuck here. Even though Conan Lamar agreed to a compromise under the instruction of Ning Zi, in order to avoid a series of possible problems, the School of Computer Science of the University still needs to register a branch in the United States to come Responsible for software upgrades, maintenance and data collection.

In short, after half a year of hustle and bustle, the two parties finally reached an agreement and signed the contract.

Cisco is about to usher in a new life.

But from another perspective, a storm of layoffs spreading outward from Silicon Valley has also begun to brew.The first shot of artificial intelligence finally beginning to replace humans in the field of high-level work is about to fire.

It just happened to coincide with the opportunity of the large chip research and development center to release the cooperation, absolutely.

……

Liu Xinfeng walked into Google's office building in Silicon Valley as usual.

In fact, compared to his Chinese name, colleagues here prefer to call him by his English name, Pete Liu.

To be honest, Pete is quite satisfied with his current life.

The whole world knows that Google is a company that treats employees very humanely. In addition to the high salary, various benefits are also full.His current annual salary is about 20 knives. Don't underestimate this figure, which is more than many university professors.

He is also very satisfied with the canteen provided by the company. The Michelin-starred chef provides delicious meals for three meals a day. The only thing that makes Pete not satisfied is that the company stopped cooking meat for one day recently, but there is no problem. Big, the company still offers many delicious pastries and vegetarian options.

There is free high-end coffee in the tea room, and you can discuss various technical issues with your colleagues at any time during working hours, and you can even fish in an open and honest manner without anyone caring.

The company has already arranged a rest area, so you can go to sleep during the lunch break.

The company also helped them pay for insurance that is far better than ordinary people, except that the housing prices and rent in the Bay Area are indeed a little more expensive, but it is not a problem for Pete, he is still young, give him another two or three years It should be able to make up enough down payment to become a homeowner.

Compared with the extreme life of domestic students, this relaxed life mode is undoubtedly more comfortable.

For Pete, the only trouble is probably that this comfortable life has made him lose the motivation to struggle in the past, which made him not think about improving himself for many years after graduating from Columbia University. This is really worth it Reflection, but then again, many local colleagues around him, as well as classmates who used to be from the Huaqing Alumni Association, are actually pretty much the same.

It is actually very difficult to go further, especially for Chinese people, it is too difficult to get into the technical jobs in the core laboratory.And for the vast majority of people, the job of this code farmer is also very decent now, and it is actually not too bad to pass this life like this.

What Pete hopes most now is to find a girlfriend and get married.

But this is indeed a very difficult task in the Bay Area of ​​​​California.

Simply put, there are more wolves and less meat.The wages of the code farmers working here are all about the same, and the annual salary is between 20 and 30. A social party, with three or five single women, can often attract dozens of code farmers to participate, especially the vast majority of Chinese boys. It is more difficult because the options are relatively narrow. After all, he still prefers to find a wife who is also of Chinese descent.

There are relatively few female international students, and they seem to have a wider range of choices, and they don't mind falling in love with Westerners, which really makes Pete feel a headache.

But how can everything be perfect in life?

Anyway, he is still young, only 28 years old, and he still has time to find her hidden in the crowd.

……

As usual, after turning on the computer, Pete did not intend to enter the working state immediately, but went to the pantry to make a cup of coffee first.Then I was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the company today seemed a bit wrong. Several Western colleagues were gathering in twos and threes to chat about something, and many of them had solemn expressions on their faces.

He doesn't like to chat with local colleagues, not because of discrimination. In fact, a big company like Google has a good working atmosphere.After all, they are all high-spirited groups, basically graduated from Ivy League universities. There are more international students in this type of universities, and they have long been accustomed to the communication between different ethnic groups.

So the main problem lies with Pete, who is inherently introverted.And under the influence of different cultures, everyone's laughter is different.What many Americans find very funny, he can't get a laugh at all.This is still the case, as many Americans like talk shows.

When someone casually said a joke, and the surrounding colleagues laughed out loud in tacit understanding, he was still thinking about what the words meant, so he seemed very out of group.

Fortunately, there are actually many Chinese descendants in his department, and he met one as soon as he walked into the tea room.

"Robin, it seems that everyone is not very emotional today? Is there something wrong?"
