Rebirth of the Wild Age

nc does not mean brain damage, but a kind of computer relative to pc, which is called network computer.

The concept of network computer was proposed in 1995, which caused great repercussions in the industry at that time. This kind of computer relies on the information access and processing of the Internet environment. Except for the necessary human-computer interaction equipment, generally there is no external storage device, and there are even few expansion ports.

In the year when the concept of nc was proposed, the Network Computer Alliance was established. Subsequently, five major manufacturers including ibm, apple, and oracle jointly announced the industry standard for network computers, and more than 70 manufacturers expressed their support successively. IBM and other companies quickly launched the first batch of such computers, and other manufacturers launched related servers and desktops software.

What does it mean for manufacturers led by ibm and apple to do so?

They are challenging the wintel alliance headed by Intel and Microsoft, because this kind of computer can bypass Intel chips and Microsoft's operating system.

The Wintel Alliance quickly responded and quickly launched an nc that uses Intel Pentium chips and Microsoft systems. Since many users are already familiar with the Microsoft system, the NC products of the Wintel Alliance have developed rapidly, and various applications of NC have been restricted.

Just like relying on new energy vehicles to catch up with the international pace, China is also eager to master its own chips and operating systems through nc. Academician Ni ran around for this, and even approached China Science and Technology, but Song Weiyang politely refused.

Although Song Weiyang doesn't understand technology, he is a time traveler. As a foresight traveler, Song Weiyang had never heard of NC in his previous life, which shows that this thing failed in the end, at least in the mass market.

How could China Science and Technology do something that failed? (Song Weiyang is ignorant. Although nc belongs to the non-mainstream of the computer industry, it is often used in securities, education, banking and other fields)

But someone met Academician Ni's appetite, and that was Li Delei, the boss of SMIC.

Li Delei studied as an undergraduate at Harbin Institute of Technology, as a graduate student at the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a PhD student at the University of Alberta, and as a tenured professor at York University. Later, Li Delei joined Motorola and built his own company to undertake Motorola's outsourcing projects. This is not allowed in the United States, and outsourcing projects cannot be handed over to internal employees, so Li Delei invited Hu Mingzeng, an alumnus of Harbin Institute of Technology, as the legal person of the company, and listed his shares in the names of relatives.

Li Delei's petty actions were soon discovered by Motorola, so he had no choice but to voluntarily resign and switch to Hitachi (USA), and continue to undertake Hitachi's outsourcing projects. As a result, Hitachi (USA) also found out that it was tricky. Li Delei lost his job, and the company could not receive the project since then, but the company's chip research and development team has been tempered.

At this time, Academician Ni was promoting the concept of nc everywhere, and Li Delei had an idea and changed the company name to SMIC. He complained to shareholders that it was difficult to make money, took the opportunity to weaken the shares of an old shareholder, took back his own shares from relatives, and approached Academician Ni to discuss cooperation a few days ago.

Academician Ni is not an idiot either. He first tested Li Delei's professionalism, and then inspected the company's chip R\u0026D team. Academician Ni was extremely satisfied with everything.

Think about it, Li Delei is a tenured professor at York University. His team previously undertook Motorola and Hitachi's chip outsourcing projects, so it is absolutely impossible to be ambiguous in terms of professionalism. Academician Ni is promoting the concept of nc. He wants people to make nc chips and then make nc operating systems. He and Li Delei hit it off.

Academician Ni does not receive salary or hold a position, but takes the initiative to help Li Delei make the company bigger. While helping to run projects and apply for scientific research funds, he mobilized all his contacts to help Li Delei's company reach a cooperation intention. Song Weiyang was just one of the contacts that Academician Ni found.

Xiao Song, let me introduce you, Academician Ni said with joy on his face, This is the boss Li Delei. He is a tenured professor at York University and has a very mature chip research and development team in his hands.

Song Weiyang shook hands with a playful expression and said, Mr. Li, hello!

Boss Song, I have admired your name for a long time! Li Delei shook hands with Song Weiyang enthusiastically. He didn't have much money in his hand. Academician Ni had already helped to raise more than 20 million two days ago. It would be even better if Song Weiyang, a big funder, could invest.

Academician Ni didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: Xiao Song, I have talked with you about NC before, and now Boss Li's 'SMIC' is planning to make NC chips. China can completely bypass Intel and Microsoft and make NC-based chips. Embedded chips, and then make operating systems and various software around nc. This is a great opportunity to overtake on a corner, as long as the project is successful, China will no longer be restricted by Intel and Microsoft!

Although Song Weiyang is a computer novice, as the boss of Shenzhou Technology, he still has a lot of basic knowledge. He asked: A network computer is also a computer, so how is it related to the ecological dilemma?

Academician Ni waved his left hand excitedly and said: Solve the compatibility problem with Microsoft application software through the wbt model, and solve the software development problem through the lbt model. I didn't promote nc before because China's Internet speed is too slow, but now the whole country is The promotion of broadband technology will definitely basically solve the network problem of NC in another year! China can not only use NC to achieve cornering overtaking, but NC can also help China popularize computers. The price of a PC computer is 6,000 yuan, while an NC The computer only costs 1,500 yuan, and buying an nc computer is like buying a color TV, and countless ordinary people in China can afford it!

How to deal with the countermeasures of foreign manufacturers? Song Weiyang asked.

Academician Ni said: At present, the Wintel alliance headed by Intel and Microsoft dominates. Although this alliance is powerful, it also has countless enemies. IBM, Apple, Oracle, and many other companies are fighting against the Wintel alliance. We can Join the ibm alliance system.

Song Weiyang smiled and said: The last time you talked about NC with me, I learned about it later. This concept was initiated by Oracle. Three years ago, the boss of Oracle held a conference to promote NC. He used NC to send emails and photos of flowers to his mother. As a result, the NC computer crashed on the spot, and the scene was extremely embarrassing. Now, Oracle, the originator of NC, has almost given up, and the United States, as the base camp, is no longer keen on the concept of NC. How can China win?

China is different from the United States, Academician Ni said, In the United States, the market dominates everything, and China can be guided by the government. Moreover, nc is still widely used in the United States, and 98 of the world's top 100 companies have begun to use nc products , 400 Fortune 500 companies are also using nc products.

Song Weiyang said: However, more than 95% of the computers used by these companies are PCs, and NC computers are just a supplement. There is also the most deadly problem. Most of China's servers are controlled by the Wintel Alliance, and NC computers are just a supplement. The most important thing is the server side. Once the wintel alliance chokes the neck on the server side, then nc is not much different from a calculator, even for playing large stand-alone games. If you want to develop nc products in China, you must first Replace most of the servers with ibm. Who will pay for the replacement of servers for users across the country?

This... Academician Ni was suddenly speechless.

Give up. Song Weiyang advised.

Everything else can be ignored, the server side is the focus.

Historically, Li Delei, who was recognized as a liar, did develop the Ark chip at the beginning, and was forced to promote it by the Beijing government.

How hot was it?

Due to pressure from the government, Lenovo had no choice but to take the risk of offending Intel and take the initiative to launch an NC computer using the Ark chip. As soon as the news was released, before the production of computers started, the first batch of 5,000 units were sold out, and all of them were reserved by enterprises and institutions in the capital.

The concept of nc is in full swing, and leaders at all levels are also keen to inspect it. At that time, the schools that focused on promoting NC, as soon as leaders came to inspect them, the principals complained: NC can't be used, give us a PC. The Public Security Bureau in Beijing even invited experts from Tsinghua University to make scientific appraisals that NC couldn't be used. And threatened, It doesn't matter whether you are a director or not, you just don't need it! This is what got stuck on the server side by the Wintel Alliance.

Li Delei was originally a profit-seeking businessman. Seeing this situation, he immediately acted recklessly and directly misappropriated the national scientific research funds for real estate.

Song Weiyang said: Academician Ni, Sinotech is also developing embedded chips, and it has reached the stage of tape-out. You should come to Sinotech to work. You can choose your position. NC is a product with no future.

Academician Ni said: You don't need to persuade me. Even if your chip is made, you still can't develop the Chinese's own operating system. You can only become a follower of the Wintel alliance.

Li Delei also said: Since Boss Song is unwilling to invest, then I will not force it. 'SMIC' will definitely give the Chinese people a satisfactory answer.

Song Weiyang looked at Li Delei as if thinking about how to kill this man. He turned his mind, and suddenly said: Since it is for the national plan, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I am willing to invest!

Great! Academician Ni was overjoyed.

Li Delei also said happily: How much does Boss Song plan to invest?

I personally invested 30 million yuan. Song Weiyang said.

I wish us a happy cooperation! Li Delei shook hands warmly.

That liar Song Ruhua is setting up software parks everywhere, and Song Weiyang is going to take over all the way behind his back.

The same is true for Li Delei. Historically, when the Ark chip was successfully developed, representatives from all ministries and commissions were sent over. The government's scientific research funds also continue to flow. Zhongguancun has approved a large piece of land, and there are countless orders from enterprises and institutions.

What is 30 million?

Just the piece of land in Zhongguancun, and the subsequent construction of the Ark Building, its fraction is more than 30 million yuan.

Song Weiyang only needs to invest in the shares, so that Li Delei can create it vigorously. Send people to check the accounts at critical times, send Li Delei who embezzled scientific research funds to jail, and Song Weiyang step up to clean up the mess, and get the following benefits: a building in Zhongguancun, a mature chip research and development team, and the goodwill of countless ministries and commissions leaders . Before that, China Computer could also use the Ark chip to successfully obtain orders from countless enterprises and institutions!

The bad guy asked Li Delei to do it, Song Weiyang only wanted to be a good guy, and he was a good guy who turned the tide.

What does it mean to expose a liar?

It's cool to let the liar work for you.
