Chapter 967 Zhang Fox's Help
Chen Haiyang thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "You are right, but you have seen the current situation. Everyone is not very interested in developing chips and EDA. What are you going to do?"

Zhang Qihang looked full of confidence and said: "It doesn't matter, I haven't gone to Inspur and Zhongchuang, but home appliance companies are not very interested in EDA and chips, so I will go to software companies and information companies. Take a look at technology companies.

In addition, you also know that the investment department of our Huateng Industrial Group has participated in the investment of many domestic Internet companies. "

Chen Haiyang's opinion of Zhang Qihang is actually not very optimistic, but since Zhang Qihang has already said so, he will not reluctantly, nodded and said: "Alright, let's try it first, if it doesn't work, let's find a way."

------------

In the next few days, the development of the matter was as expected by Chen Haiyang. These electronic companies in the province have no interest in EDA and chips. Some people even said that Zhang Qihang had achieved a little result, but he didn't know. The sky is high and the earth is thick, and I dare to think about such a high-tech thing as a chip, it is really floating...

Zhang Qihang didn't take these yin and yang strange voices seriously, but after Zhang Huhu knew about it, he specially called Zhang Qihang to ask Zhang Qihang for confirmation: "Brother Zhang, I heard that you are planning to develop EDA software and chips. Is it real?"

Zhang Qihang felt strange when he received Zhang Fox's call. Now that he heard Zhang Fox asked this question, he felt even more strange, and asked, "No way, even you know?"

"Hey!" said Fox Zhang on the other end of the phone, "Now the entire Internet industry in Beijing is discussing this matter, saying that there is a... um, the tough guy is going to do EDA..."

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang laughed: "Is everyone's evaluation of me not so polite?"

"Ha ha……"

When Zhang Hu heard the words, he laughed twice, and was too embarrassed to speak.

According to what Zhang Fox has learned, everyone's dialogue is of course not so polite. The dialogue process is basically like this...

"Hey, buddy, have you heard that recently, a big idiot 13 said that he wants to develop EDA software and chips."

"I heard it, how can I not hear such a big joke? But he is not a big fool, he is the boss of Huateng Industrial Group, you dare to say that the boss of Huateng Group is always a big fool?"

"It turned out to be the one, no wonder they have the guts and courage to engage in EDA and chips, they are rich! But then again, what did you think of this President Zhang's mind? I know them Huateng Group We have money, but if we have money, can't he invest in us? What are we going to do with EDA and chips? What is the difference between doing this and throwing money into the sea?"

"Haha... Who knows what this President Zhang is thinking?" The old man was eccentric: "Perhaps they are highly conscious and want to revitalize China's EDA and chip industries?"

"Hahahaha... It makes sense! It makes sense! Come on, buddy, toast to the great feelings of our President Zhang! I wish him an early success!"

"That must be a toast!"

…………

Zhang Hu did not know how many times he had heard a similar conversation, and some even suggested that Zhang Hu quickly find a way to kick Huateng Industrial Group out of the shareholder list of Sohu.com, and patted his chest to assure Zhang Hu: "Hua Those shares of Teng Group, I'll take it for you!"

As if this bastard is so interesting.

As a result, it was naturally sent out of his office by Zhang Fox as a euphemism.

After a pause, Fox Zhang couldn't help his curiosity, and asked Zhang Qihang, "Brother Zhang, are you serious, are you really planning to make EDA software and chips?"

Now that Fox Zhang started to ask, Zhang Qihang didn't hide it: "To tell you the truth, I really think so."

"Then why?" Zhang Fox couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and asked Zhang Qihang, "Why do you do such a thankless thing?"

Zhang Qihang smiled and asked back: "Fox, it's just that other people don't understand why I do this, but you have studied and worked in the United States for so long, and you have learned about computers and information technology. Do you really not know why I do these two things?"

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Zhang Fox stopped talking.

Yes, as Zhang Qihang said, for Zhang Huli, who was recommended to MIT and became a student of Negroponte, of course he understood why Zhang Qihang did it. The reason is very simple. , EDA software and chips are very important for the development of modern computer technology and the development of the information industry, because these two things are the foundation of computer technology and information technology, and even the foundation of the foundation!

Only by mastering the R&D and manufacturing technology of EDA software and chips can Huaxia truly control computer technology and information technology in its own hands. From the perspective of the country's strategic height, Fox Zhang knows why Zhang Qihang does this. Do because this country has to do it.

Zhang Fox stopped talking, but Zhang Qihang asked instead, "Fox, you didn't call me just to ask me this, right?"

"No, no, of course not," Zhang Huhu then reacted and said quickly, "That's the case. I heard that Lianxiang Computer is going to adjust its business line..."

Lianxiang Computer needs to adjust its business line?

Hearing Zhang Fox's words, Zhang Qihang couldn't help frowning. He had a vague impression of this incident, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

Zhang Huli continued: "During this adjustment, Lianxiang Computer will increase business construction and investment, and correspondingly, reduce investment in technology research and development and software research and development. I heard news that some departments Or even the shutdown of entire departments, so…”

"Understood!"

Before Zhang Hu finished speaking, Zhang Qihang was still overjoyed, and said excitedly to Zhang Hu, "Fox, do you have friends at Lianxiang Computer?"

Zhang Hu replied, "Well, there are a few."

They are all in the computer circle of the capital. Zhang Hu is more than acquainted with a few friends who work at Lianxiang Computer. Let’s say that there are relatively well-known computer companies in this era, such as Lianxiang Computer, Fangzheng Computer, Ziguang Computer, Tongfang Computer and other enterprises, Zhang Hu has acquaintances.

"Okay," Zhang Qihang responded and said, "Fox, can I trouble you with one thing."

Zhang Fox immediately said: "Brother Zhang, in our friendship, don't say anything that is troublesome or not. If you have anything, just tell me."

"Then I won't be polite to you," Zhang Qihang said: "You should contact your friend at Lianxiang Computer immediately and ask him to tell those comrades who may be fired, so that everyone should not be in a hurry to find another home, just say those We Huateng Industrial Group intend to expand the business scope on the basis of the automotive electronics department, and hope to be able to cooperate with everyone.

I will get up now, and it is expected that I will be able to arrive in the capital tonight at the latest. After arriving, I will have an interview with everyone. As long as the talents meet the requirements of our group, our Huateng Group will never treat you badly. "

"No problem." Feeling Zhang Qihang's thirst for talent, Zhang Fox immediately nodded: "I'll say hello to my friend right away."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qihang clenched his fists hard, and the excited whole person almost screamed.

He also finally remembered what he had just had a vague impression of, but couldn't remember for a while: After the famous line battle of Lianxiang Computer, "Trade, Industry and Technology" prevailed. The result is that the entire group has been greatly reduced in "work" and "technical" personnel.

Of course, there are so many computer companies and Internet companies in the capital, and these people who have been cut by Lianxiang Computer will naturally not have to worry about finding jobs, but for Huateng Industrial Group, if they can accept all these people, it means a lot. It's big!
........................

At 7:[-] that night, Zhang Qihang, who hurried to the capital, met Zhang Fox's friend who works at Lianxiang Computer.

This friend of Zhang Fox obviously knew about Zhang Qihang. Seeing Zhang Qihang appearing at the door of the box, he immediately stood up nervously, his expression was obviously somewhat restrained.

It was Zhang Fox, who greeted Zhang Qihang with a smile: "Brother Zhang, it's been hard work along the way."

"Fortunately," Zhang Qihang smiled and waved his hand: "You know, I always like to travel by commercial vehicle, and I actually fell asleep along the way."

Zhang Huli nodded again and again: "I also bought a 'land business class' from your Huateng Group before. I used to think it was a good car and had a good face, but after I bought the 'land business class', I found out that if I went out to run For long distances, commercial vehicles are much more comfortable than sedans.”

"Really?" Hearing what Zhang Hu said, Zhang Qihang smiled: "For those of us, commercial vehicles are the most suitable." Having said this, he turned to look at Zhang Hu's friend and smiled. He stretched out his hand to the other party and said politely, "This is Minister Xu, right? Minister Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Yes, this friend of Fox Zhang is the person in charge of the software development department of Lianxiang Computer.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang," Many quickly clasped Zhang Qihang's hand with both hands and said politely, "It should be said that I am the lucky one."

"Minister Xu is very polite..."

After the two sides chatted and everyone took their seats, Zhang Qihang asked Fox Zhang, "Fox, what did you tell Minister Xu?"

Zhang Fox smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, just told him Brother Zhang that you want to meet him on behalf of Huateng Industrial Group."

Zhang Qihang nodded and said to many: "Minister Xu, I know you must be very curious at this moment. Our Huateng Group is a car manufacturer, how can we be interested in you, right?"

"I'm a little curious."

Many nodded and did not deny it.

"Minister Xu, I'm not used to betrayal, so I'll tell you the truth," Zhang Qihang nodded slightly and said to many: "Although Huateng Industrial Group is an automobile manufacturer, almost the core components of a car are All can be produced by themselves. This core component includes not only the engine and gearbox, but also all electronic control equipment such as engine ECU, gearbox TCU, and ABS system master computer.

Minister Xu, you are in the computer industry. You should know that ECU and TCU are essentially an industrial control computer with extremely harsh working conditions. Since it is a computer, in addition to hardware, it also has supporting software, and the software also needs to be constantly optimization and upgrading to maximize the performance of the hardware. "

Hearing this, many turned to look at Fox Zhang in surprise.

It's no wonder that many are so surprised. Although he knows that Huateng Industrial Group is an automobile manufacturing company, he really does not know that Huateng Industrial Group can not only produce its own engine and gearbox, but even the engine ECU and gearbox TCU. It can be produced by itself - as Zhang Qihang said, as a practitioner in the computer industry, many of them know that ECU and TCU are essentially a computer.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang is right." Facing many surprised eyes, Zhanghu nodded: "Huateng Group has its own software and hardware design and R&D department, which can not only produce ECUs and TCUs, but also the overall system The architecture, software, and corresponding optimizations are all designed by them.

In addition, such as ABS brake anti-lock system, ESP body electronic stability system, etc., are also developed, designed and calibrated by themselves. "

Many people were more surprised when they heard the words: "This is difficult."

"It's not difficult, it's very difficult," Zhang Qihang smiled, a kind of gratifying smile: "Let's put it this way, only Huateng Industrial Group can achieve this level of so many automobile manufacturers in China. family."

Zhang Huli continued: "In addition, Huateng Group is also very strong in the field of drones. You may not know that Huateng Industrial Group is the world's largest R&D, manufacturer and service provider of civilian unmanned helicopters. They The drones produced are widely used in advertising, aerial photography, agricultural plant protection, resource census, forestry and electric power inspection and other fields. It is a well-deserved NO.1 in the global drone field. Buy a drone from our Huateng Group.

What is even more powerful is that the flight control system and algorithm of the UAV are also made by our Huateng Group, which is a terrible mess. "

Speaking of this, Fox Zhang patted a lot of shoulders and said, "Isn't your Lianxiang computer playing a commercial with aerial footage recently? I happen to know that the advertising company that shoots commercials for your company uses aerial photography. The unmanned helicopter is produced by our Huateng Group."

Many people opened their mouths in surprise, but they didn't know what to say.

As the head of Lianxiang's computer software development department, he has also cooperated with the company to shoot some advertising videos, and has seen some powerful advertising companies come with unmanned helicopters for aerial photography. At that time, he didn't care much, just Listening to advertising companies proudly proclaiming how expensive their own unmanned helicopters are and how powerful they are in film and television shooting...

But no matter what he thought, he did not expect that the unmanned helicopter, which was said to be very valuable in the mouth of the staff of the advertising company and was almost blown into a film and television production artifact, also came from Huateng Industrial Group.

Thinking of this, a feeling can't help but emerge in many minds: I didn't expect this Huateng Industrial Group to be a big boss in the computer industry and software industry? !

Looking at the appearance of many, Zhang Hu said with a smile: "A little surprised, isn't it?"

Many nodded with a wry smile: "It's more than a surprise, it's just... subverting my perception of traditional domestic industries."

Speaking of this, many felt that they understood why Zhang Qihang was looking for him. He turned to look at Zhang Qihang and said confidently, "Mr. Zhang, so, we Huateng Group are also going to enter the computer industry?"

It's no wonder that many people think this way. The more employees in the computer industry, the more they can discover the development speed of the domestic computer industry and the Internet industry in the past few years. He thought it was much deeper, and he had learned from Zhang Hu that the investment department of Huateng Industrial Group had invested in many domestic Internet companies, so after learning that Zhang Qihang was interested in recruiting him, he instinctively felt, Huateng Industrial Group is just not satisfied with its achievements in the automotive field. It is preparing to cross industries and come to the computer industry to make money.

But what Zhang Qihang didn't expect was that when he heard his words, Zhang Qihang and Zhang Huli laughed together, which surprised many in their hearts: Isn't that what I thought?
Looking at the many puzzled faces, Zhang Qihang did not sell his words: "No no no, our Huateng Group is not ready to enter the computer industry, Minister Xu, I won't go around in circles with you, our Huateng Group is going to make EDA software and chips, I would like to invite you, Minister Xu, a master who has rich experience in software development and is familiar with hardware to join us.”

"You want to develop EDA software and chips?" Many eyes widened with disbelief on their faces: "Mr. Zhang, do you know what you are talking about?"

Engage in EDA software?Do chips?

Zhang Qihang's words can be said to have completely and completely subverted many perceptions of domestic enterprises. How complicated is EDA software, how troublesome chips are, and most importantly, how expensive these two things are, you Huateng Industrial Group Is it because you have a lot of money and don’t know how to spend it, or do you underestimate the development difficulty of these two things because you don’t know how high the sky is, and feel that these two things can be made casually?

Let me put it this way, if Zhang Qihang had not already proved Huateng Industrial Group's capabilities in computer technology and software development in the previous exchanges, many felt that Zhang Qihang should have some understanding of EDA software and chip development. Many have already listed Zhang Qihang as "Sure enough, he is a stupid 13 coal boss who doesn't know anything except a few stinky money".
