Chapter 1797 Independent Research and Development
"Is that so..." Hearing this, Duan Yun fell into a brief thought.

Obviously, including Lenovo, Founder of Peking University, and other domestic enterprises and institutions involved in the research and development of domestic systems, they are obviously very shrewd, and they are not willing to play supporting roles for Tianyin Group. For some scientific research units, letting a Private enterprises leading such state-level scientific research projects are obviously "dwarfing" the status of their state-owned scientific research institutions. After all, these enterprises and departments do not have strong interests and affiliation unless they are led by higher-level national departments. Otherwise, no one wants to lower their status.

Moreover, compared with other companies, Tianyin Group has made great strides in recent years. No matter in terms of scale and strength, it is far higher than other cooperative units. In addition, in terms of the salary of R&D technicians, Tianyin Group The remuneration of the Yin Group is also much higher than that of other partners. Once these cooperative units send their own scientific research personnel, the result is likely to be "the meat bun beats the dog and never returns", which will also lead to business failure. Brain drain.

Enterprises like Lenovo and Founder can have such a status in today's Chinese technology companies, and they are obviously not ordinary people. Even if they are far from being able to compare with Tianyin Group in terms of strength, they will definitely not be used as wedding dresses for people. No one is stupid about this matter, even if the developed software is finally donated to the country for free, it can still cultivate Tianyin Group's software research and development capabilities, which is something other domestic technology companies do not want to see.

It is precisely because of this that these scientific research units and enterprises proposed to conduct joint research and development in BJ. To put it bluntly, they wanted to kick Duan Yun and Tianyin Group out of this project, because Founder of Peking University, Tsinghua Tongfang, Lenovo Group and several scientific research institutes participating in the project All of them are in BJ. The salaries of technicians in these companies and departments are similar, and they also have intricate interests with each other. There is no need to be wary of each other in many aspects, which is far safer than letting Tianyin Group lead this project.

"Originally, the superiors were partial to your proposals, but there were too many voices of opposition, not only scientific research enterprises, but also our scientific research institutes in BJ..." Xu Shaoqiang said.

"I understand." Duan Yun nodded, and continued: "Mr. Xu, I think it's good. Since everyone has difficulties and is unwilling to let Tianyin Group lead this project, then let us take charge of this project." Independent research and development is done, speaking of which, our group also has many top experts in software, which can guarantee that the system software required by the country will be produced within one year."

"You Tianyin Group want to develop independently?" Hearing what Duan Yun said, Xu Shaoqiang couldn't help eating a little.

You know, the country had a domestic system research and development plan before, and it was also jointly developed by several domestic universities and research institutes, but the final result was that after a few years, even the main framework of the system was not completed. In the end, the project can only be terminated, and it will be nothing at all.

If it weren't for the urgent international situation, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the tense relationship with the United States, the country might not restart this project in a short time, and because of the lessons learned from previous failures, so many scientific research units have been used in this project. The funds invested are also very large, in fact, the difficulty of this project has been fully considered.

So when Xu Shaoqiang learned that Duan Yun wanted to complete the project by himself, he couldn't help being surprised. His first feeling was that it was impossible. Of course, it didn't mean that he looked down on Tianyin Group's research and development strength, but because This project is so difficult that it cannot be completed by independent units and enterprises.

"That's right, even without the cooperation of other companies and research institutes, we still have the confidence to complete this project assigned by the state, and I still insist on the military order I issued before. If we can't complete the task within one and a half years, our Tianyin Group I am willing to accept a fine of 1 million yuan!" Duan Yun said seriously.

The research and development project of the domestic PC system is related to the success or failure of Tianyin Computer's future layout, so even if there are no other participating units, Duan Yun must complete this project.

Moreover, in terms of research and development capabilities, Tianyin Group's software research and development capabilities are indeed top-notch in China. As long as he is willing to spend money, he can dig another batch of outstanding software talents in a short period of time, thereby expanding his own research and development again. team strength.

And now Duan Yun has R&D centers in Hong Kong, the United States and Europe, especially the R&D center in the United States, which also gathers many excellent software talents. From these aspects, the R&D strength of Tianyin Group is not inferior to that of the country. The team even has certain advantages in some aspects.

"Since you said so, I can tell you clearly that you can participate in the research and development of this project, but there is no guarantee that the country will eventually adopt your system software, because other units will also form a consortium to cooperate with you on this project. Competition, if you fail, you must consider losing your money." Xu Shaoqiang also said with a serious face.

"Doing scientific research is like doing business. There are risks. If we dare not take risks, our Tianyin Group will not be able to get to where we are today." Duan Yun replied very simply.

"Haha, very good!" Hearing this, Xu Shaoqiang nodded approvingly, and then said: "Do you know what I admire most about you? It's this kind of energy that is better than me! Since you talk about this , I have nothing to say, I just hope you don't let me and the superiors down..."

"Okay, I will try my best to make this system software before the end of next year, so as to live up to the country's expectations of me." Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and said.

In fact, Duan Yun still has a lot of confidence in this PC system research and development project. On the one hand, it stems from his confidence in his own strength, and on the other hand, he has an understanding of many current domestic scientific research institutions and enterprises.

In Duan Yun's view, whether it is Lenovo, Founder of Peking University or Tsinghua Tongfang, although these companies have the name of technology companies, their research and development capabilities are actually very weak. The proportion is very low. At most, they make some computer shells, motherboards and monitors. All other core components and chips can only be imported. As for software development, they are not their forte. They prefer to copy and imitate foreign software. What is pursued is "bringing doctrine".

It is suitable for projects such as the development of domestic systems, and the funds allocated by the state are limited. It is impossible for them to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources to do this. They just think about how to get the funds. Such a team is simply impossible They are expected to be able to complete such a large research and development project in a short period of time.
