Chapter 674: 4 Pullings
The ambition revealed in Fang Nian's "bold" plan,
Frontier's accumulation and inside story in terms of CPU instruction set, micro-architecture, etc.,
schedule of time points,
massive financial support,
One by one, piles are piled up like a relaxed and freehand style to form a broad road to realize Academician Chen's youthful ideals...
So even if it is Fang Nian's follow-up "sweeping wool", it is so excessive that capitalists will cry when they hear it.
In the end, Academician Chen couldn't help being overjoyed, unable to restrain his inner emotions.
When Fang Nian held up the teacup to respect himself, Academician Chen chose to let out the turmoil in his heart, pushed the teacup aside, replaced it with a wine glass, and drank three cups in a row: "This is such a happy event, let's drink it!"
"Respect Mr. Fang!"
Putting down his glass, Academician Chen was still very excited: "I never thought that I would have such a chance to realize my childhood ideals in my lifetime!"
To be honest, Fang Nian was stunned for half a minute.
Putting on the wine glass one step later, he happily said, "Leave everything to the academician!"
"President Fang, don't worry, Mr. Chen will live up to expectations!" Academician Chen said proudly.
The whole body is indescribably romantic and freehand.
It's as if you're decades younger all of a sudden!
Full of energy.
"..."
After the banquet, Academician Chen immediately packed up his things and left Luzhou.
No delay at all.
Fang Nian insisted on not stopping...
After a long talk with Academician Chen, the 2011 confidential research and development plan of Baize Lab was set.
Fang Nian was in a very happy mood, humming a little tune and went back to the hotel room.
After all, in addition to this, it basically solves the affairs of the other three laboratory R&D leaders.
Of course, Academician Chen understood that the one who could make Fang Nian open his mouth had to be at least a leader in the industry, the kind with peaches and plums all over the world.
It is best to be an academician.
Academician Chen dared to agree, and he was at least 60% sure in his heart that he would be able to invite academicians of the same level.
He is 10% sure that he will be able to invite excellent professors who satisfy Fang Nian.
After returning to the hotel, Fang Nian was still a little emotional.
In fact, this was not within the scope of Fang Nian's plan. The first-generation chip had not yet succeeded, so the internal confidentiality plan was launched, at least nearly three months earlier than expected.
Don't underestimate these three months.
In the era of mobile Internet, when the tide of mobile intelligence is surging, three months is a crop of newcomers replacing old ones.
It's as if at least 90% of the world's people would never have imagined that the dominance era of Nokia and Motorola is coming to an end...
After two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Weiyu walked into Fang Nian's suite with Guan Qiuhe.
At a glance, Fang Nian was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, humming a little tune, obviously in a good mood.
Lu Weiyu and Guan Qiuhe looked puzzled and looked at each other.
In the end, it was Lu Weiyu who spoke first, and asked, "Mr. Fang has some happy event, don't you want to share it?"
"Didn't you say to invite Academician Chen to dinner?" Guan Qiuhe followed up.
Fang Nian swayed his legs, and said cheerfully: "Have a good drink with the academician."
"It doesn't smell like alcohol either." Lu Weiyu sniffed and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Fang Nian smiled and said: "I have reached an agreement with the academician. From now on, Bai Ze will officially and secretly launch the mobile phone SoC full autonomy strategy. The academician will be fully responsible for recruiting old and new students."
"This...so sudden?" Guan Qiuhe was stunned, "Didn't we say we have to wait until the first chip is officially launched?"
Fang Nian said lazily: "I saw that you didn't listen carefully to the summary report in the morning,
The first chip to go on the market is already a certainty;
The next step is nothing more than post-film testing and modification. I think there is no need to delay it any longer. I can sneak a little investment in Luzhou three months earlier;
Anyway, before the first chip goes on the market, all the R&D investment can be combined, so it is a little bit less. "
Speaking of this, Fang Nian paused for a while, and looked at Lu Weiyu: "By the way, the academician also agreed to help Zhuyan, Taotie, and Shengyu to invite a research and development leader of sufficient weight for each of the three laboratories."
When Lu Weiyu and Guan Qiuhe heard it, they both yelled.
"You are really not welcome at all. I said why I heard that Academician Chen was on vacation on the way back, so I left Luzhou directly."
"I dare say you are squeezing Academician Chen!"
Fang Nian laughed: "It's hard to catch such a good opportunity, how can I miss it!"
"..."
Hearing Fang Nian's words, it was not difficult for Lu Weiyu and Guan Qiuhe to understand Fang Nian's joy.
The cutting-edge large-scale plans have all been implemented. As the planner, Fang Nian will certainly feel a sense of accomplishment.
Especially when it went much smoother than expected.
Lu Weiyu went to make tea on her own, and asked, "Mr. Fang, you said you had a result in your heart this morning. Can you say it now?"
"What result?" Guan Qiuhe interrupted.
Hearing this, Lu Weiyu briefly explained: "...He said he wasn't nervous at all. I thought that 70 million yuan was gone in the blink of an eye."
"You don't even know about this?" Guan Qiuhe wondered, "He has already started the strategy of self-government, so it must be sure."
Catching the hot tea that Lu Weiyu handed over, Fang Nian took a sip, and said solemnly: "I just like Mr. Guan's self-confidence after being slapped in the face so many times."
Then he said calmly: "This tape-out will fail 100% of the time. It depends on the follow-up tests."
"Huh?" Lu Wei was taken aback by the words, "It's clear what Sister He said makes a lot of sense."
"Otherwise, why would Academician Chen agree to start the self-government strategy at this time? You set a deadly goal at the meeting."
Fang Nian said in a casual tone: "You guys have never learned about chips;
In terms of the preset performance parameters and the world's latest manufacturing process, etc., this tape-out is definitely not up to standard;
Failure to achieve is a failure, not to say that the chip cannot be used at all. "
"In addition, being able to go to the actual tape-out process shows that the basic design has been perfected. After getting it back into the film, the test found that it may only need to be adjusted at the software level."
In the end, Fang Nian concluded: "So this stage does not affect the transfer of some people to complete the confidentiality experiment;
According to Academician Chen, even if there is no special arrangement, a qualified instruction set with independent intellectual property rights may be sorted out naturally before the end of April;
The main reason is that the instruction set is actually just a specification for translating programs to the CPU. Nuwa Lab has accumulated a lot in this area, some of which come from the open source contributions of programmers all over the world to the nwL programming language. "
At the end, Fang Nian said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, the design and development of the micro-architecture is the research and development of the CPU. This part may need a little blessing from God."
After finishing speaking, Fang Nian made a gesture: "Okay, I don't know much about the professional field, but this does not affect my basic judgment on things. Unless it is against the sky this time, otherwise, the entire 9.5 million US dollars may be worth $9.5 million this time." It’s all in vain.”
"Just to discuss something."
Lu Weiyu and Guan Qiuhe changed their sitting positions one after another, and their expressions became serious.
Fang Nian said calmly: "You all saw what Professor Zhang forgot to report at the meeting, this is a typical problem of unclear division of labor;
So I decided to immediately adjust the organizational structure of the laboratory, add a product department, and add a product manager. "
"Although the problem broke out on Bai Ze's side, it must be more serious on Nuwa's side."
"In fact, I was responsible for more than half of this position before. It was because of special reasons. Now that it has passed the basic stage, a dedicated and responsible team is needed to control the entire product process."
After Fang Nian finished speaking, Lu Weiyu spoke first: "I also discovered this problem. I didn't think it would be so serious. I didn't mention it at the beginning of the month. There are certain preparations for cutting-edge innovation. I will arrange it and build it as soon as possible."
"..."
So Guan Qiuhe listened with one ear, but said nothing.
"..."
Fang Nian didn't say any more.
…………
Later, Fang Nian and Lu Weiyu went to the University of Science and Technology of China to visit Hou Jianguo.
We briefly chatted about the affairs of the frontier courtyard.
Hou Jianguo is still willing to actively promote the faster development of Frontier Academy.
A consensus was quickly reached.
In the near future, the University of Science and Technology of China will build five more cross-research centers, including a cross-research center especially for the field of integrated circuits.
It is initially planned to invest another 100 million yuan from Frontier.
50 million less than budget.
This is not to say that there is something wrong with Liu Xi's budget, and it's not that he doesn't need so much money;
Rather, the University of Science and Technology of China has a relatively generous budget for this year.
In addition, the independent frontier institute, which is expected to complete the first phase of the main body construction before July, has brought some additional benefits to the University of Science and Technology of China, so the University of Science and Technology of China decided to increase its efforts.
However, Fang Nian always felt that Hou Jianguo's tone was vague.
Fang Nian respected Hou Xiao very much.
I also did not forget to mention that the frontier laboratories are very short of talents, and hope that Hou School can lend a helping hand.
Hou Jianguo said with a smile: "Mr. Fang is very polite. I have heard about the respect and desire for talents in frontier laboratories. If there are suitable talents, I will never forget to recommend them."
Fang Nian quickly hit the snake with a stick: "Thank you Hou Xiao."
"Hou Xiao, Frontier has recently established an industrial software laboratory, and is preparing to establish laboratories in the fields of materials, communication standards, including artificial intelligence. There is a huge talent gap in these areas. Please help."
Hou Jianguo blinked and said, "Okay."
"..."
I guess I was still thinking in my heart, the young people nowadays are really willing to let go of their shame, and they are not polite at all.
However, I appreciate Fang Nian more in my heart.
Fang Nian...
Of course Fang Nian knew what impression it would bring to the outside world.
after all……
Fang Nian knew that the boss in front of him was not only an academician, but would also be appointed as the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the end of 2020. ①
Frontier will fully spread out in the future, and it will be necessary to ask for such a big boss.
After leaving the University of Science and Technology of China, Fang Nian pondered for a while and ordered Lu Weiyu to invest an additional 50 million in Yangcheng Zhuyan Laboratory.
When talking about the Interdisciplinary Research Center with Hou Jianguo, a bright light flashed through Fang Nian's mind...
…………
Fang Nian stayed in Luzhou for a day and a half.
I did not forget to visit Sun Ganlong.
The words mentioned the efforts and progress of Bai Ze's laboratory.
certainly……
He never mentioned the matter of chip tape-out, which is the most confidential matter of Bai Ze, and less than 20 people know about it, and they all signed the absolute non-disclosure agreement.
The main reason is to prevent the news from being known by Luzhou and release unnecessary hopes.
Guan Qiuhe also stayed in Luzhou for a day and a half. After finishing the cutting-edge affairs, he inspected the Luzhou Dangkang R&D Center.
The 'gun battle' project, which has been going on for nearly a year, finally has some clues.
The game engine has been developed and is expected to launch an internal beta version in September.
This game, which was obviously much simpler than Dota Rebirth in Fang Nian's expectations, was so inefficient in development that it surprised Fang Nian.
After all, the original game development took only one year, and the R&D investment was not too high, especially after the game was launched, the R&D investment was only 0.3% of the sales.
It's unimaginably low.
In comparison, Dangkang's R&D investment in Luzhou R&D Center has reached 56 million.
For this fee, it is estimated that Blue Hole can develop two PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Anyway, Fang Nian was very dissatisfied.
So much so that on Saturday afternoon, while Guan Qiuhe was leaving for the capital to handle the affairs of the Beijing Frontier Academy, a team came from Dangkang Game Headquarters.
After all, not every R&D center can be as active as a cutting-edge laboratory.
As for why.
Maybe some kind of special honor played a driving role.
All cutting-edge laboratories are aimed at achieving breakthroughs in knowledge barriers of certain basic technologies, and the leading figures are often industry leaders.
There is a bit of momentum in the bones.
…………
When Guan Qiuhe left Luzhou for the capital, Fang Nian also left for Chang'an with Lu Weiyu.
Originally, lazy dog Fang Nian didn't plan to go to Chang'an.
Not in planning either.
but……
Senior sister Lu is her wife after all, so she shouldn't be too oppressive.
Anyway, idle is idle.
On the flight to Chang'an, Fang Nian murmured, "Sister, how do you feel about graduating for a year and going back to your alma mater?"
"Huh?" Lu Weiyu glanced at Fang Nian, "I don't feel anything."
Fang Nian blinked, and said in a drawn out voice, "Really?"
"I heard that it is not so easy for ordinary people to have the opportunity to return to their alma mater after graduation. I don't have any special feelings?"
Lu Weiyu pursed her lips and said, "Thank you. Last year, when I represented Frontier to attend the opening ceremony of the Frontier Academy of Xi'an Jiaotong University, it was already pretty enough."
"Oh, how did I forget about this?" Fang Nian was amazed.
"..."
Lu Weiyu glanced at Fang Nian: "I'm just saying that you don't have the time to go to Chang'an with me."
"Why not? I'll just ask." Fang Nian snorted.
Lu Weiyu chuckled: "The look in your eyes tells me that you don't think so in your heart."
"What's wrong, I finally went to Chang'an, so far away, what's wrong with visiting my wife's alma mater by the way?" Fang Nian held Lu Weiyu's left hand calmly with an expression of righteousness.
Seeing this, Lu Weiyu was stunned: "Oh~ I see, that's how it is!"
"However, it may disappoint you. Not many of my classmates stay in Chang'an to work locally."
Fang Nian raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
"I don't know the details, but Huang Wenwen probably doesn't work in Chang'an." Lu Weiyu looked at Fang Nian and said with a faint smile.
Fang Nian immediately became displeased: "When did senior sister have such a good memory? Besides, we have been here all the time, so it would be unreasonable not to invite old classmates to dinner."
Lu Wei said: "!"
She knew that Fang Nian's initiative was not that simple.
O man!
What else but showing off? !
Anyway...
The plane had just arrived in Chang'an, and Fang Nian couldn't wait to ask Mr. Lu to contact his old classmates.
The classmates who are relatively close and who are in Chang'an all came.
That's seven or eight.
The only person Fang Nian had an impression of was Liang Yi.
Huang Wenwen is really not in Chang'an.
This is the 'rival in love' that Fang Nian finally met in the process of pursuing Lu Weiyu.
After all, Fang Nian and Lu Weiyu were not engaged when they first came to Chang'an.
I can't show it off in person, it's really...
Quite a pity!
