Chapter 251 Completing the Last Puzzle

When any company spends money, it needs to consider the ratio of input to output. The blog project has been beaten to death by Sina, QQ, and YY. It has been almost a year, and a lot of money has been burned, and the market capacity has indeed increased. , but it is still a three-legged confrontation, and no one dares to say that he has an absolute advantage.

The long-term burning of money, coupled with the increasing cost of poaching bloggers, also made Sina and QQ start to think about how to go next.

Compared with Sina and QQ, the development of YY Log is much smoother. From the very beginning, YY Log did not participate in the vicious circle of "celebrity competition", but cultivated its own high-quality bloggers step by step. The bloggers were poached by Sina and QQ, but there are a large number of high-quality middle-level bloggers. With the support of traffic, new million-level bloggers will soon be created.

With the establishment of the advertising alliance, more and more middle-level bloggers have heard of the news, which not only strengthens the blogger team of YY Diary, but also brings many new YY users. In fact, the relationship between many middle-level bloggers and fans On the contrary, the relationship is stronger. A blogger brings dozens of fans, which is also a very objective number.

Wang Xing is now devoting all his energy to the development of the advertising alliance. This is an area he has never been in contact with, and it is also the first time he has directly faced business. Mainly improve the content of the article, these are things that Wang Xing needs to polish bit by bit. Although it is hard work, he never tires of it.

In late February, Shen Lang and Lei Jun went to Jinmen to participate in the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Jinmen Data Center. The data center officially started.

It is expected that the entire data center will be put into use in June next year. At that time, it will provide high-speed data transmission and storage services for the entire North China and Northeast China. step.

After the foundation laying ceremony, Shen Lang and Lei Jun did not return to the capital, but went to the capital.

Just a few days ago, Director Li of the Computer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences received good news. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has approved Shen Lang's plan and agreed to let the Godson project team be separated from the Institute of Computer Science.

Beijing, Institute of Computer Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Mr. Shen, congratulations." Li Guojie enthusiastically held Shen Lang's hand.

Shen Lang said with a smile: "We are happy together, we will be a family in the future."

Li Guojie laughed loudly: "One family, one family."

Just now, Shen Lang, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Hu Weiwu signed a contract.

Shen Lang invested 51 million yuan to establish Loongson International Co., Ltd., accounting for 20% of the shares. The Chinese Academy of Sciences allocated a 30-acre land to Loongson International as a research institute construction land, accounting for [-]% of the shares. The Loongson project team is based on Personnel technology, patent investment, the entire team has more than [-] people, and each of them is a top talent in the chip industry.

Shen Lang also met the two future giants in this team - the founder of Cambrian: Chen Yunji and his younger brother Chen Tianshi.

What made Shen Lang even more surprised was that Chen Yunji was born in 83 and was two years younger than him, while Chen Tianshi was even more terrifying, he was born in 85 and was just 21 years old.

Seeing Shen Lang staring at the two brothers Chen Yunji and Chen Tianshi, Hu Weiwu thought that Shen Lang thought they were too young to look down upon, so he quickly explained.

"Mr. Shen, don't look at the two brothers who are young. Chen Yunji was admitted to the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 14, and Chen Tianshi was admitted to the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 16. In addition to experience accumulation, talent is more important in scientific research. When a genius had a flash of inspiration, it could outweigh our ten years of hard work in research."

Shen Lang nodded approvingly. In ordinary jobs, as long as he works hard, he can always make some achievements, but doing scientific research is different. Without genius-like thinking, he can't even find a door. He has to admit that there is a natural gap between people. Yes, and this gap is much larger than imagined.

"Oh, so it's two young geniuses." Shen Lang came back to his senses, pretending to be in a daze, and shook hands with the two brothers Chen Yunji.

The two Chen Yunji brothers also looked at him curiously. They were both young people, and they were also very interested in Shen Lang's business achievements.

Before Godson International's new research institute was built, Hu Weiwu's team was still conducting research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After all, the research institute can't just find a place to work.

Not to mention anything else, many precision instruments and equipment are very delicate. Once the power is cut off suddenly, or the voltage is unstable, it may cause damage to the equipment, and the research institute also has extremely high requirements for dust-free treatment in the area. Ordinary buildings Can't be satisfied at all.

After signing the contract, Shen Lang held a plenary meeting of Godson International.

"I invite everyone to come here today. On the one hand, I want to get to know you and meet each other, so that everyone can get to know each other well. On the other hand, I want to discuss the research direction of Godson International."

The researchers in the conference room all set their eyes on Hu Weiwu, and it was normal that he had the final say on the team before.

Hu Weiwu and Shen Lang exchanged glances, then cleared their throats.

"I have discussed it with Mr. Shen before. We are too far behind in PC chips, so we decided to make mobile chips that are less difficult. If you have any ideas, please share."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room.

A researcher suddenly stood up: "Group Leader Hu, why did you give up the research and development of PC-side chips? Hasn't our Godson-2 already reached the tape-out stage? That's right, our technology is indeed backward, but if we now If you don’t strive to catch up, the gap will widen in the future.”

"Yeah, no matter how difficult it is, we have to keep going, otherwise our efforts all these years will be in vain?"

Hu Weiwu's face was also a little ugly for a while, but why is he willing to give up the research and development of PC-side chips?
Seeing this, Shen Lang coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and said seriously.

"I can understand everyone's feelings, but have you ever thought about a question, we can break through technical problems, but how to break through market problems?"

"I believe that with your abilities, you will be able to make mainstream PC-side chips in another ten years, but chips are only a part of the entire industry's ecological chain. Intel and AMD have formed a monopoly in the chip field. How can we break this? Their monopoly, let other software vendors develop programs for us?"

The researchers were silent. Technically, no matter what kind of questions Shen Lang raised, they could still find counterarguments. They were blind to market problems, and they also knew that Shen Lang was right. The adaptation software for them is developed by themselves, and there is no software manufacturer to serve them.

Shen Lang paused, and continued: "The technical barriers to mobile chips have not yet been fully formed. With the gradual improvement of various technologies, the mobile market will definitely surpass the PC market. In the future, many of us can only Everything that can be done on a computer can be done on a mobile terminal.”

"Here I can give you a brief introduction. I am already developing an operating system based on the mobile terminal, and I will open source it to the outside world soon. I invite software manufacturers at home and abroad to participate. In the future, there is no need to worry about the development of the mobile software ecosystem. question."

"Now we have accumulated technology on software chips, which can also be fed back to PC-side chips in the future, and I believe that the future market demand for chips will gradually develop from the current general-purpose chips to professional chips for various industry segments. Then we will face much less resistance.”

After the words were finished, there was no sound in the meeting room at first, followed by a heated discussion.

Seeing this, Hu Weiwu knocked on the table.

"Mr. Shen is right. When conditions do not permit, we should concentrate our efforts to make a breakthrough instead of working hard. Why have we made slow progress in these years? Because we don't understand the market, and the products we make can only Digest it internally, it’s all right now, Mr. Shen will take care of market issues, and everyone just needs to concentrate on scientific research in the future, isn’t it good?”

"Besides, I've also discussed with Mr. Shen. As for everyone's benefits, they will be paid twice as much as before."

The meeting room suddenly became lively. Scientists are human too. Who doesn't want to live a good life, even if they don't want to, they have to think about their families, right?
Shen Lang felt a little emotional when he saw this scene. If Hu Weiwu hadn't found him with the salary slips of these researchers, he really didn't know that the salaries of these top international researchers were so low, generally only 10 to [-]. Some benefits are only [-] annual salary.

What Shen Lang remembered most was a sentence Hu Weiwu said to him at that time.

"Mr. Shen, it's not that these researchers can't find better jobs. Companies like Huawei, Lenovo, and ZTE often offer them five or ten times the salary, but they all choose to stay because they really want to create Produce our own chips."

Seeing this, Hu Weiwu cleared his throat, and scolded with a smile, "What do they all look like?"

"Haha." The researchers burst into laughter, and some bowed their heads in embarrassment.

Shen Lang laughed secretly, these scientists turned out to have such a lovely side.

Hu Weiwu immediately said seriously: "Although the mobile chip is a relatively easy way to go, it is only for comparison. There are many problems that we need to face. The first is the problem of the entire architecture. We directly adopt the chip on the market. The relatively mature ARM architecture, or develop a new architecture by yourself?"

"Of course it's self-developed!" A researcher immediately shouted.

The so-called ARM architecture is actually the same as the X86 architecture. It is the underlying logic of chip design. The more basic something is, the more difficult it is to develop. Fortunately, Godson has already accumulated a certain amount of technology before, and it is difficult to create a new architecture Not too high.

Hu Weiwu nodded: "Okay, since everyone is confident, let's move according to the previous division of labor. As Mr. Shen said, we don't have much time left. Perhaps, this is the only one we can overtake on a curve." Opportunity."

After the meeting adjourned, Shen Lang left Hu Weiwu behind and said worriedly.

"Mr. Hu, what we are doing now is only chip design, and mass production will be a big problem in the future. High-end equipment such as lithography machines and etching machines, in case the United States gets stuck"

Hu Weiwu nodded with a gloomy expression: "This is indeed a problem, but there is no need to worry too much. Although our domestic lithography machines and etching machines are not advanced enough in manufacturing process, it is not impossible to manufacture them at all. The main reason is that there are no orders, and the company has no The determination to invest, we can coordinate through the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but in this way, we will not only do chip design, but also build factories for mass production, and the expenditure in the middle”

It’s no wonder that Hu Weiwu is hesitant. A large chip manufacturing company like TSMC needs to invest more than one billion U.S. dollars in a production line, and it is difficult for domestic manufacturers to support it.

But Shen Lang said firmly: "No matter how difficult it is, I have to do it. I will figure out a solution for the money issue, and I will leave it to Mr. Hu to coordinate the manufacturers."

"Okay." Hu Weiwu only said one word, but he was extremely firm and even a little relieved. From this, he also saw Shen Lang's determination to make chips.

Of course, Shen Lang is not all passionate about making chips. Making chips costs money, and it costs a lot of money. He definitely can't do it on his own, so he plans to follow BOE's path.

BOE burned 3000 billion, except for a small part of its own money, most of which were contributed by the local government, bank loans and financing from the financial market.

The construction of factories can attract upstream and downstream industrial chains, plus taxation, the local government can recover the investment, and the bank can also obtain loan interest rates.

Of course, even if this is the case, Shen Lang still needs a large sum of money to invest, and he still has to make money!

Shen Lang suddenly thought of a sentence, the richer a person is, the poorer he feels. In the past, Shen Lang thought it was just for the rich to pretend to be coercive, but now he finds that it is really the case.

After returning to Shanghai from the capital, Shen Lang got a piece of good news, 360 payment has completed the internal test.

Shen Lang was overjoyed, and immediately dragged Lei Jun to the office area of ​​360 Payment.

You can log in directly with the 360 ​​account. After trying it out, everything else is very good except that the U-shield password is a little cumbersome when binding the bank card.

Shen Lang immediately made a decision to carry out a comprehensive promotion. With 360 payment, his Internet ecological chain finally completed the last piece of the puzzle.

Different from Shen Lang's excitement, Lei Jun said worriedly.

"Who are you going to hand over to the 360 ​​payment business? Don't look at me, I'm too busy with so many businesses in the company."

After thinking about it, Shen Lang understood what Lei Jun meant, he was trying to avoid suspicion.

Indeed, it can be foreseen that if 360 payment is implemented, the funds at hand will definitely not be a small amount.

Shen Lang had an idea, and suddenly thought of a suitable candidate, but this one didn't seem to be easy to find.
