Chapter 776: What Is the Most Expensive Thing in the 21st Century?

The work of 1,000 computers shocked many reporters.

After all, this was 1997, an era when the average monthly salary per person was three to four hundred yuan.

Send away 1,000 computers directly.

Even for a company, giving away computers worth tens of millions is not a small matter. In particular, Qin Feng's Jiuzhou IT Technology Company has become popular recently with the help of Loongson, but in the blink of an eye, it was crushed by Inter with its absolute technological advantages.

In this case, is it worth spending so much money?

“Whether it’s worth spending the money depends on each other’s perspective on the problem!” Qin Feng faced the doubts of many reporters and said with a smile, “If you look at the problem purely from the perspective of money, it will naturally be a big loss. Because our company has indeed encountered a slight setback at present. However, judging from the lives of these children and the value they may create for us in China in the future, this money is worth it."

"I built Loongson just so that China can have its own processors and no longer be controlled by others. And if you want to no longer be controlled by others, you need your own exclusive technology. And where does technology come from? Talent! What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Expensive? Talent! No matter how much I invest in talent, I think it’s worth it!" Qin Feng recited the lines from the famous movie "A World Without Thieves".

Unsurprisingly, these remarks were directly included in the headline of the exclusive report of "Xinwen Lianbo" that evening. Including the next day, major newspapers and magazines quoted this sentence: What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century? Talent!

At this time, Qin Feng's reputation for cherishing talents has resounded throughout the streets and alleys across the country.

Of course, Godson also became popular.

From the beginning to the end, Qin Feng mentioned the dragon core once, but it made everyone remember the dragon core and Qin Feng's long-cherished wish.

Especially on this second day, some official media are supporting Qin Feng and promoting Qin Feng's Godson.

Indeed, in terms of performance, there is a certain gap between China Loongson and the Pentium 2 processor just launched by Intel. However, this is China's first CPU. It has just been released and its performance is comparable to the first generation Pentium. This fully illustrates the potential of Huaxia Loongson. As long as everyone gives Loongson some support and some time, I believe Qin Feng, who values ​​talents, will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer. ——Comments from "Huaxia Daily".

Similar comments have also occupied front-page headlines in other newspapers and magazines.

For the sake of China and the future, please support Loongson’s words, which became a mantra for a while.

"Mr. Qin, you are so awesome! This advertisement can be published on "News Network"!" Many bosses of SEG Plaza were also impressed. They also seized on this plan to vigorously promote Godson.

This has also allowed Loongson's market share to rise steadily.

"Qin Feng, since being on the news network, our chip sales have been rising steadily. The current order has exceeded 1 million!" Lei Jun said with a smile.

Previously, although it signed a 7 million-piece-a-year contract with SEG Plaza. But this does not mean that SEG Plaza purchased 7 million pieces at one time. They don’t have that much money to buy either.

Rather, many owners of SEG Plaza purchase goods in batches. Although it is said that the total number will reach 7 million pieces. But if Godson cannot be sold, they will have no money to purchase.

This eventually led to a lawsuit, and the other party lost the case according to the contract, but had no money to pay.

Of course, Qin Feng would not really do this, forcing the other party to go bankrupt to buy the dragon core that he could not sell. At the moment, it is good news to be able to withstand the pressure from Intel and continue to sell well.

"Yes, we have finally maintained sales for the time being!" Qin Feng lamented, "However, after all, our technology is not as good as others, and we are still a generation away. We can't keep fooling people with the new generation of dragons. I'm afraid it will be difficult to launch this next generation of products for the time being. . Our goal is to first increase the speed to 500MHz in the 0.18 micron process. Since we are not as good as Intel in terms of chip core,

Then use frequency to suppress it. "

Currently, Intel's Pentium 2 chips currently only have 233, 266, and the most expensive 300.

"We have successfully increased the frequency to 300 and can maintain only a 5% increase in power consumption." Lei Jun said, "We are currently trying 333 and 366 watts!"

"Then launch the 300MHz Loongson. The price will remain unchanged!" Qin Feng said, "By the way, has the cost increased?"

"Not in terms of cost. Before this, our company had just set up the production line. Not only was there some waste in production, but there were also deficiencies in management. Moreover, as the production increases, the cost itself will also decrease. Only we After doing this, I realized that Intel makes more money!" Lei Jun sighed.

This can no longer be said to be making money, it is simply printing money. The profits are too high.

Of course, R&D costs are indeed high. For example, now, the salary of the more than 600 fresh graduates they recruited before, or graduates who are already working, is hundreds of thousands a month. This does not include corresponding bonuses, solar terms fees, etc., which are just the basics. salary. Then there are corresponding company management costs, etc., plus scientific research costs, consumption of test products, purchase of equipment, etc. On average, Qin Feng's scientific research costs exceeded 20 million yuan a month.

And this is actually very low. Intel's annual research and development costs are billions of dollars.

This is one of the reasons why Intel is so powerful.

Of course, that’s why they make money.

"But there are still not enough talents!" Qin Feng sighed.

"Then how about poaching talents from abroad?" Lei Jun suggested.

Qin Feng thought for a while and shook his head.

"Forget it about this. The circle is just that big. If you poach around, it's either Intel or AMD engineers. If you poach them, we still have to guard against becoming commercial espionage." Qin Feng shrugged, "In this case, still Forget it, we will develop by our own efforts. However, I will try my best to invite Harvard professors for training every year. The key is to recruit more talents. A scientific research team of more than 600 people is not enough!"

As far as Qin Feng is concerned, this scientific research team is far from enough if it doesn't have a few thousand people.

Because the development and launch of any product requires thousands of failures. This kind of failure is inevitable. Without these failures, there would be no subsequent success.

Therefore, the larger the number of people in the scientific research team, the shorter the cycle from failure to success.

"Guess how Intel will respond?" Lei Jun asked.

Intel? Qin Feng held his chin and thought for a while, then smiled.

"We are now barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes, so we consider ourselves to be low-end products. We just hold on to the Cy Young! What we beat is the Cy Young!"
