Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1378 Meeting with old friends
On Friday morning, Duan Yun received a call from Liu Chuanzhi, the general manager of Lenovo Group. He told Duan Yun that he had arrived in Shenzhen, and his company's chief engineer, Ni Guangnan, was with him.

In fact, Liu Chuanzhi had already arrived in Guangzhou by plane the night before. The reason why he didn't say hello to Duan Yun was because he still had to wait for Ni Guangnan. Tone Group visit.

For Liu Chuanzhi's arrival, Duan Yun still attached great importance to it. He drove to the hotel to meet him in person, and met Ni Guangnan for the first time there.

At this time, Ni Guangnan was also wearing a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his temples were a little gray. When he saw Duan Yun, he also smiled and reached out to greet him.

"Welcome, welcome! Welcome Manager Liu and Chief Engineer Ni to our Shenzhen." Duan Yun shook hands with the two warmly, and then said: "Since I left from BJ last time, I have been looking forward to the two of you coming to our factory I also hope that our two companies can establish a long-term cooperative relationship."

"Manager Duan is too polite. Our Lenovo Group is just a small company compared to your Tianyin Group." Liu Chuanzhi said hastily.

"I really didn't expect Manager Duan to be so young. When I was your age, I was still studying in school." Ni Guangnan also said with emotion at this time.

"It's because the national policy is good, and it gave me a chance to develop. You Lenovo Group is also very good. All the computers in our company now use your Lenovo Hanka. It's really good. In fact, I have already recognized You have admired me for a long time." Duan Yun said with a smile on his face.

Duan Yun still respects Ni Guangnan very much. After graduating from Nanjing Institute of Technology, Ni Guangnan was first assigned to work in the Institute of Computer Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Later, from 1981 to 1983, he was a visiting researcher at the National Research Institute of Canada.

Although the Canadian Research Institute gave Ni Guangnan generous treatment and hoped that he could stay in Canada, Ni Guangnan finally chose to return to China. From this point of view, he deserves Duan Yun's respect.

"Be polite." Ni Guangnan said hastily.

Afterwards, the three of them exchanged a few words, got into Duan Yun's car, and headed to Tianyin Group.

After the car entered the Tianyin chip factory, Duan Yun immediately invited the two of them to visit the R&D center of the chip factory.

The R&D center was notified early in the morning that VIP guests were coming, but even so, since the technicians in these R&D centers were working as usual, it was just that Huang Lingyi and Jiang Mingwei waited early in the morning according to Duan Yun's arrangement. At the gate of the R&D center, waiting for the arrival of VIPs.

"Chief engineer Ni! Director Liu!?" When Huang Lingyi saw Ni Guangnan and Liu Chuanzhi, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"Old Huang? Have you come to Tianyin Group?" Ni Guangnan was also surprised when he saw Huang Lingyi.

It turned out that Huang Lingyi, Ni Guangnan, and Liu Chuanzhi were all from the Institute of Computer Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Huang Lingyi was in the chip research and development project team, and Ni Guangnan was the chief engineer of computer technology research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As an assistant researcher, in 1983, he served as the leader of the Personnel Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a cadre in the cadre department. The three of them worked together in the early years, so they are very familiar with each other.

The three of them were of the same age and entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences almost at the same time. Liu Chuanzhi was later. Excited.

"Mr. Huang, when did you come to Tianyin Group?" Liu Chuanzhi asked curiously.

"I came here the year before last, and this is pretty good. Not only me, but also many colleagues from the Computer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have come to Tianyin Group. I will introduce you to it later." Huang Lingyi said.

"I really didn't expect that..." Ni Guangnan said with emotion, and then asked about Huang Lingyi's recent situation.

Top talents will never be unknown. As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. The best talents will eventually enter the top platforms that match them. Whether it is Tianyin Group or Lenovo Group, in itself, It is already the most powerful private technology company in China, and it is precisely because of this that many of the technical personnel of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who went to sea in the early years have been gathered in these two companies.

In the field of microelectronics technology in China in the 80s, those people were always the top ones, and there were only a few influential companies, so there were still many opportunities to meet each other again.

Although Lenovo Group is far inferior to the current Tianyin Group in terms of scale and financial resources, Lenovo Group is headquartered in BJ, and Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan are from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so they have the advantage of being close to the water. Even though the salary of technicians is not as good as Tianyin Group, it can still recruit many senior technicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After chatting for a while, the three of them visited Tianyin Group's R&D center under the leadership of Duan Yun.

When Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan saw that there were many departments and personnel in the R&D center, they learned that there were more than 400 technicians in the R&D center, and most of them were technical secondary school students and college students, and many even came from BJ Chinese Academy of Sciences and other scientific research institutes. When they were in the hospital, the two couldn't help feeling a great shock in their hearts.

You know, both Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan were born in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and they are well-known and appealing in the academic circles of the capital. But even so, Liu Chuanzhi has worked hard, and their scientific research team only has more than 70 people.

In fact, the scale of Lenovo Group's R&D team is already the strongest in Zhongguancun. However, compared with Tianyin Group's R&D team at this moment, it immediately pales in comparison, whether it is the size of the personnel or the software and hardware facilities of the R&D center. , there is a huge gap, which makes Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan feel deeply shocked.

Later, Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan, represented by Duan Yun, visited the production workshop of the chip factory.

In the chip production workshop of Tianyin Group, Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan were also deeply shocked.

Although Lenovo Group also produces Chinese Cards, its key core integrated circuits and components are basically smuggled from abroad. The core processing chip of Chinese Cards uses the smuggled Z80 chip. The entire Chinese Cards is also produced by BJ’s family The electronics factory is responsible for assembly, Lenovo itself does not have any production capacity.

In the past, Liu Chuanzhi and Ni Guangnan also visited some domestic integrated circuit manufacturers. However, in terms of scale and technology, those domestic integrated circuit manufacturers cannot compare with Tianyin Group's chip factory at all. The degree of automation is very high. The three-micron process chip production line imported from Toshiba is definitely the top technology in China.
