Chapter 969 Please help to optimize

Although Academician Ni is no longer at Lianxiang Computer, it is not easy for top experts in the computer field to visit others, but fortunately there are many.

After receiving many calls, Academician Ni was very happy. After learning that many wanted to come to visit him, Academician Ni immediately agreed and let many come, even though many said that two people encountered some technical problems. , Wanting to consult with Teacher Ni, Academician Ni also nodded happily, saying that there is no problem.

After arriving at Ni Lao's residence, Zhang Qihang was a little surprised: Although Ni Lao was still thin, his mental state seemed to be very good?
Academician Ni was a little surprised to see Zhang Qihang and Zhang Huli, but he was more than happy: "Xiao Xu is here? Come, come, come in... By the way, these two are."

Zhang Qihang immediately stepped forward, bowed politely to Academician Ni, and introduced himself: "Hello, Academician Ni, I am Zhang Qihang from Huateng Industrial Group. This is the chairman and president of Sohu.com. Manager Zhang Hu, and many comrades came to see you."

Academician Ni frowned slightly: "Huateng Industrial Group?"

Academician Ni does not know Huateng Industrial Group?

This is actually not surprising. In this industry and in the industry related to automobiles, the names of Huateng Industrial Group and Zhang Qihang are naturally famous, but in the computer industry, Zhang Qihang is really not well-known, and Academician Ni does not know Zhang Qihang. Qihang is not surprising at all - if Academician Ni has not seen that Zhang Qihang is the leader of the three visiting people, at Zhang Qihang's age, if Zhang Qihang is a graduate student who is about to graduate, Academician Ni would not be surprised. .

"Teacher, it's Huateng Motors," many on the side quickly explained to help: "Comrade Zhang Qihang is the general manager of Huateng Motors."

This time, Academician Ni was surprised: "General manager of Huateng Automobile?"

When it comes to Huateng Industrial Group, Academician Ni may not be clear, but when it comes to Huateng Motors, Academician Ni knows too much. There is no other reason. Huateng Motors can be seen everywhere on the road, even if it is Lianxiang Computer, where he worked before. And Fanzhou Technology, also purchased a lot of Huateng brand cars as official vehicles. It can be said that Huateng Automobile is one of the domestic car brands that Academician Ni is most familiar with, but what surprised Academician Ni even more is that Huateng Automobile’s The general manager turned out to be a young man who looked like he was in his 20s?

However, he was surprised. Since many people brought it here, Academician Ni felt that many people would not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, so he politely invited the three of them into the room: "Come in, just sit down, I Pour water for everyone..."

He looked like a very polite retired old man with a little air all over him.

How could it be possible for Academician Ni to be busy? As for Zhang Huli and Zhang Qihang, it is even more impossible. As the saying goes, if the teacher has something to do, the disciple should take care of it. He quickly said: "Teacher , I'll come, I'll come..."

After saying that, he got up quickly, picked up the thermos and poured water.

Academician Ni could not argue with him a lot, so he stopped arguing with him.The old man is a straightforward and direct person. At the beginning of the establishment of Lianxiang Computer, when the leaders invited Academician Ni to join Lianxiang Computer, the old man put forward the requirements of "not being an official, not holding meetings, and not accepting interviews", in order to Able to concentrate on research, his temperament is evident.

So at this moment, the old man didn't go around in circles with Zhang Qihang, and directly asked Zhang Qihang: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, Xiao Xu said before that he wanted to consult me ​​with technical problems, but you guys are engaged in automobiles, and I am engaged in computers. Yes, you came to me, did you find the wrong person?"

Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "Old Ni, although we are engaged in cars, we really did not find the wrong person when we came to you."

"Oh?"

Academician Ni raised his eyebrows, waiting for Zhang Qihang to answer.

"That's it," Zhang Qihang explained, "We would like to ask you to help us optimize the computer system of our engine and gearbox, and even the system if possible."

Because Mr. Ni was deceived twice in a row before, Zhang Qihang felt that if he directly invited Mr. Ni and said, "You old man come to our Huateng Group, let's work on EDA and chips together", Mr. Ni will probably kick him out. So he changed his strategy and decided to take a detour, inviting Ni Lao to visit Huateng Industrial Group in the name of visiting and providing technical support.

As for the situation after arriving at Huateng Industrial Group, do I need to say more?

Academician Ni was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is your engine EFI?"

Only the EFI engine needs the main control computer. Ni Lao still knows this. As a top computer software and hardware expert, Ni Lao naturally knows that the main control computer of the engine is essentially a single-chip microcomputer, or an embedded computer. computer.

"Yes," Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and then explained: "Hasn't the country begun to force the promotion of automobile EFI systems? The cars produced by our group are equipped with the main control computer and automatic transmission of the EFI system. The main control computer of the ABS system and the main control computer of the ABS system are all designed and developed by our group.”

When Old Ni heard this, he looked at many in shock.

Just now when Zhang Qihang said that he invited himself to Huateng Industrial Group to help them optimize the engine control computer system, although Mr. Ni was a little strange, he didn't think too much, but now I heard Zhang Qihang say that Huateng Industrial Group's engine master control The computer was actually developed and designed by them, and Ni Lao was shocked: How is this possible?

Wait!
How could Huateng Industrial Group be able to develop and manufacture automatic transmissions by itself?

"Yes, teacher," said many respectfully, "Huateng Automobile attaches great importance to the research and development of independent technology. They can produce a variety of engines and supporting manual and automatic transmissions. In addition, they are like the main engine control on the car. They can also independently develop, design and produce core components such as computers, automatic transmission control computers, and ABS brakes and anti-lock braking systems.”

"Xiao Xu, are you saying that Huateng Group's engine computers are produced by themselves?"

Hearing a lot of these words, Mr. Ni was very surprised: if what many said is correct, then the current Huateng Industrial Group is an industrial giant that spans machinery manufacturing and electronic computer technology and has mastered core technologies, but this how is this possible?

Before waiting for many answers, Zhang Qihang explained with a smile: "Old Ni, many comrades are putting money on our faces. In fact, the engine computer is similar to our personal computer products, and there is a fixed system structure and overall plan. What we do is actually very similar to many computer manufacturers in our country such as Lianxiang and Great Wall. We also purchase CPU from CPU manufacturers and purchase memory from memory manufacturers...

After buying and buying like this, we finally have to ask an electronic product OEM to help us assemble these purchased spare parts into a computer for an engine or gearbox, so it is developed and produced by ourselves, which is really for ourselves. Gold on the face. "

Although Zhang Qihang said modestly, Ni Lao looked at Zhang Qihang in shock.

Although Zhang Qihang said it very euphemistically, but Mr. Ni is a real top expert in the computer field. How could he not know that although Zhang Qihang said it very modestly, it seemed that Huateng Industrial Group had not done anything, but in fact it was considered a In disguise, they admitted a lot of what they said. Huateng Industrial Group really designed and developed the engine computer system and gearbox computer system of the car.

But is this possible?
Old Ni subconsciously turned his head to look at a lot.

Facing Mr. Ni's gaze, he nodded a lot, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, don't be modest, because your Huateng Group can produce ECUs and TCUs by itself, Bosch in Germany, Denso in Japan, and Mitsubishi ECUs and TCUs. Suppliers are itching to hate you."

Hearing a lot of these words, Ni Lao couldn't believe his ears: Is it true? !
There are a lot of them, and after saying this, he added: "By the way, Mr. Zhang and their Huateng Group, in addition to being able to produce engine computers and gearbox computers on cars, are also the world's largest unmanned aerial vehicle. Helicopter manufacturers, you may not be very clear, the unmanned helicopters produced by Huateng Industrial Group are widely used in advertising and film and television productions, agricultural plant protection, power line inspection, forest protection and other fields, and even in the field of land and resources census. You can see their drones, and the core flight control systems of these unmanned helicopters are also developed by Huateng Group.”

Speaking of this, many praised: "Although their Huateng Group is not well-known in the computer field, and even most people have not heard of their name, in fact, their group is very strong in software, hardware and even system research and development. "

Many people who used to be one of the most trusted people of Mr. Ni's subordinates, now listening to many people's evaluation of Huateng Industrial Group is so high, Mr. Ni is even more surprised.

Previously, because of the blow of Ark Technology, Ni Lao was a little disheartened, but now that he saw Huateng Industrial Group, he suddenly realized: maybe he went the wrong way before?If you join Huateng Industrial Group from the very beginning and start with the operating system of automobile chips and automobile engine computers, just like the "rural encirclement of the city" in the past, wouldn't it be a good way?

The most important thing is that doing so will not cause much fanfare, will not attract the attention and vigilance of the enemy, and can develop slowly, and the huge domestic automobile consumption capacity has provided a large enough market for these chips.

But the previous Lenovo and the Ark Technology some time ago made Ni Lao's heart quite vigilant: he is in his 60s, and his time is running out, so he can't waste even a little bit.

Thinking of this, Ni Lao nodded, and asked Zhang Qihang kindly: "It's really amazing to be able to achieve this level... By the way, Xiao Zhang, I know that your Huateng Group is very powerful, but I I really don't know how big your group's production capacity is, can you give me an introduction?"

"Hooked"...

Seeing Mr. Ni's reaction, Zhang Qihang smiled inwardly and nodded again and again: "Of course there is no problem, it is like this, our Huateng Industrial Group is a company mainly engaged in automobile manufacturing, motorcycles, unmanned helicopters and manned helicopters, as well as commercial real estate. It is a comprehensive large-scale enterprise group that combines various industries. Since you are interested in automobiles and helicopters, I will mainly introduce to you the situation of our Huateng Group in automobiles and helicopters?"

"Okay," Ni Lao nodded and said, "It's troublesome."

"No trouble, no trouble," said Zhang Qihang, "In the field of passenger cars, our group has three brands, Huateng, Fengya and Huateng-Mitsubishi. It is expected to increase at a rate of more than 50% every year. Our goal is to achieve a total output of various types of passenger vehicles exceeding 15 million by 2006;

In addition to our group's own brands, we also accepted the entrustment of the Shaanxi Provincial Government and the General Office of the Army to take over the Qinchuan Automobile Factory located in Guan'an City, Shaanxi Province. This Qinchuan Automobile Factory has previously been approved by the state One of the mini car manufacturers, after accepting the trusteeship of our group, our group designed the Qinchuan QQ mini car for them. Now this car is very popular in the market, it can be said that the supply is in short supply, and the current monthly output has reached More than 6000 vehicles have been produced, and now we are actively building a new factory for Qinchuan Automobile. The goal is to make Qinchuan Automobile capable of producing 20 vehicles of various types per year in two years. All the core components of the car, such as engine and gearbox, are provided by our industrial group;
In addition to Qinchuan Automobile, our group is negotiating cooperation with Jiangbei Automobile Factory, which is one of the four mini-car manufacturers under the Bingzong like Qinchuan Automobile.

By the way, in addition to these, our Huateng Group also holds shares in Lu Province Black Panther Automobile, which is the engine and gearbox supplier of Black Panther Automobile, providing more than 15 sets of engines and gearboxes to Black Panther Automobile every year;

In addition, our group is also the largest van powertrain manufacturer and supplier in China, providing more than 30 vans and mini-truck powertrains to domestic second- and third-tier automobile manufacturers every year. That is to say, as of this year, we Huateng The industrial group produces and manufactures more than 125 million engines every year! "

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Ni Lao's heart was filled with waves, and he could no longer control the expression on his face: the annual output of various types of engines exceeds 125 million sets?That is to produce more than 125 million sets of engine ECUs!And what is the annual output of the entire Lianxiang computer?
Zhang Qihang didn't seem to notice the change in Ni Lao's expression, and continued: "In addition to passenger cars, our group also has passenger car products, including our own 'Feiyan' passenger car and 'Huateng-Isuzu' luxury road Passenger cars, in addition, we have developed city buses and other products based on the chassis of these two passenger cars. The total annual output of these two passenger car brands is about 15000;
By the way, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office of our province asked me to serve as the executive deputy general manager of the Sinotruk Group, which was just assigned to our province. Our group is now using our own ECU to adapt the heavy trucks of the Sinotruk Group. In the future , Sinotruk Group's products will also be equipped with our Huateng Group's automotive ECU products. It is estimated that our group will provide more than 10 sets of ECU products to Sinotruk Group each year. "

Hearing this, Ni Lao, who was already shocked, updated the data again in his mind: Huateng Industrial Group needs to produce at least 140 million sets of ECU products every year. The annual sales target of 2006 units requires almost 100 million ECU products every year.

Coupled with the matching automatic transmission TCU computer, the total number of ECUs and TCUs will not be less than 220 million sets in any case!

220 million sets, which is equivalent to 220 million computers...

Thinking of this, Ni Lao even wanted to cry with excitement.

"As for unmanned helicopters and manned helicopters, there are some that can't be used," Zhang Qihang felt embarrassed when he mentioned helicopter products: "In the first half of this year, our group produced a total of 1000 unmanned helicopters for different purposes. The total output for the whole year is expected to be around 2000 sets;
As for manned helicopters, the total output in the first half of the year was only 24, and the total output for the whole year was about 50, which is really ashamed. "

The situation of manned helicopters and unmanned helicopters is not unexpected. No, to be precise, it has actually exceeded Mr. Ni’s expectations. Although Mr. Ni does not understand the size of the global unmanned helicopter market, he feels that this The use of things is limited, and the market size will definitely not be large. Now I heard Zhang Qihang say that their unmanned helicopters sold more than 1000 in the first half of the year. This number has greatly exceeded Ni Lao's expectations.

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Ni Lao nodded and said to Zhang Qihang: "With an annual output of more than 100 million car computers, then you really need to optimize both hardware and software, even if the cost of a car computer is reduced by 100 yuan. , which means that your company has earned more than [-] million yuan."

"Yes, that's what we think," Zhang Qihang nodded again and again: "We are a state-owned enterprise, and every dollar saved is equivalent to an extra dollar in the country's treasury, so I hope to invite Mr. Ni to come over. Point and point."

"Ha ha……"

Mr. Ni was very satisfied with Zhang Qihang's attitude. He smiled and waved his hand and said, "I can't talk about it, but I'll show you guys and give me some advice. It's okay."

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang was overjoyed and said quickly, "You are too polite. With your presence, I believe that good results will be achieved in reducing costs and increasing efficiency... Mr. Ni, the labor and technical consultation fees for this trip..."

"Don't mention this to me!" Before Zhang Qihang's words were finished, Old Ni's face stiffened and he said solemnly, "The reason why I am willing to help you is because I think you are a good comrade who is dedicated to doing things. , If it's for money, do you think I'm short of money? I have a country to support it."

Zhang Qihang said yes again and again and never asked for money again.

In fact, what Ni Lao said is correct, but an academician of the National Academy of Engineering, such a top national talent, enjoys all aspects of care and care from the country. Maybe Ni Lao does not have much money in his bank account, but he enjoys various treatments and care. Absolutely top notch.
