Top of the big era

"There's still money!"

Liang Jing added.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Of course, funds are a very important part."

Liang Jing shook her head lightly, "I'm not talking about the total funding, I'm talking about the salary for the developers. A few years ago, I worked with Mr. Ni in Ark Technology. In fact, I did a good job at the beginning and successfully developed The first embedded chip in China was released, and the big leaders went to investigate batch by batch. Then it didn’t work.”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "You are an insider, you can give some different opinions."

Liang Jingdao: "Well, the R\u0026D team of Ark is actually quite good. Teacher Ni also thinks their R\u0026D strength is very strong, so he joined. However, there was a problem with the salary. At that time, Ark 3 had a research and development funding allocation of 1538 However, according to national requirements, the wages paid to scientific researchers shall not exceed 15%, which is 2.3 million yuan. On average, the monthly salary of each developer is only more than 2,000 yuan."

Zhou Buqi shook his head secretly.

Those who make chips are the rarest and best people in this country, and they are given such a small amount of money a month... Feelings can't be eaten, can you not go abroad.

This time he cooperated with Tsinghua University, and he did know many regulations of some countries on scientific and technological research and development.

For example, in terms of wages, labor fees, unit commissions, etc., funds in public institutions shall not exceed 5%, scientific research transformation enterprises shall not exceed 10%, and enterprise units shall not exceed 15%.

Unless the money has nothing to do with the country and is purely corporate investment.

However, such a large investment in chips cannot be achieved only by enterprises.

For example, Ziweixing and Tsinghua cooperated in the integrated circuit research center, which must be led by Ziweixing, and then the government and Tsinghua jointly funded and worked together.

If everyone contributes money together, they have to follow the country's rules and regulations, and what Ziweixing said doesn't matter. Universities are public institutions, and the applicable regulations are that the salary ratio cannot exceed 5%.

This will inevitably lead to very meager salaries for doctors and masters in the school to work as professors.

Human nature is selfish.

Only when you have no worries about food and clothing can you devote yourself wholeheartedly to the career you love. When there are problems in basic life, you have to endure hardships and stand hard work in scientific and technological engineering... This is really asking scientists with the standards of saints.

Zhou Buqi shook his head again and again: "The biggest problem encountered in the domestic scientific research environment is that scientific research and the market are seriously disconnected. It seems that capital is a scourge that will corrode science and technology. Technology serves products, and products serve users. No Users, no matter how good the technological achievements are, it is useless. The technical level of American guns is much better than that of Soviet guns, but the AK47 is the most popular one.”

Liang Jing nodded slightly, "At the beginning, the Ark chip was pretty good, and Mr. Li was very sincere, but this salary is really not good. Let me report it to the leader. After I went, I was ridiculed by experts, saying It is the chip project funds that are mainly used for tape-out and EDA tools, and personnel salaries are only small."

"Ignoring the market, ignoring human nature, failure is inevitable."

"Yeah, that's how they think from top to bottom. Ignore the competition for talent in the market, market pricing. Focus on maintaining the official rules. That's what's required. If you can't do it, you're wrong. Do it If the chip is not produced, it will be a scandal, and Teacher Ni will be cheated because of his ignorance."

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi was taken aback for a moment, he really hadn't thought about it from this angle.

Because of the many support and support of Boss Liu, he has never had a high opinion of Academician Ni. He thinks that he is a fake academician who is running around for all kinds of scammers and defrauding too much state funds. If it is really so watery, how can Liang Jing, the number one talented woman in Zhongguancun, follow her wholeheartedly?

There are many deeper problems behind this that are far beyond the grasp of a scientist.

It is relatively easy to make low-end chips, but failure of high-end chips is inevitable.

The winner is the prince and the loser is the bandit.

If you lose, you become a liar.

If every loser is labeled as a liar who wastes national funds, and only success is not allowed to fail, who is willing to try this kind of advanced scientific and technological research?

Liang Jing said indifferently: "Liu Qiang, and I... I have such self-confidence. It shouldn't be difficult for people like us to make tens of millions a year by doing simple things casually. However, we do it The most difficult and arduous thing is to give us the least money. Who would be happy with this kind of thing? If I hadn’t been with Teacher Ni for so many years, I would have stayed in Lenovo at the beginning. How about making a lot of money?"

Zhou Buqi asked, "Who is Liu Qiang?"

Liang Jing said: "He is the chief engineer of the Ark chip."

"Where are you going now?"

"He left Ark and started his own business. Ingenic Corporation developed some low-end chips for simple electronic devices such as MP4, learning machines, and e-books. This was easy for him. I heard that he is already planning to go public. There are valuations in the billions.”

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

That's right, it's relatively easy for a technical master who participates in such cutting-edge projects to make some low-end chips and make money.

Liang Jing could tell that the young Mr. Zhou didn't take Mr. Ni seriously, so she wanted to explain a few more words. There are many misunderstandings about Mr. Ni in the industry, especially the fact that Mr. Ni, as a member of the expert group, did the appraisal for Hanxin.

"Hanxin was in a hurry back then. I followed Mr. Ni and participated in part of it."

"Hanxin? Isn't it a counterfeit chip?"

"Well, it's a fake." Liang Jing nodded, "At that time, Wang Jin took Motorola's chip, smeared out the Motorola logo, and replaced it with the Hanxin logo. But at that time, Wang Jin also organized a very A strong technical team is doing research and development. Because he stole all the materials for that chip from within Motorola."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Liang Jingdao: "It means that if you give him some more time, maybe he can make the fake come true, and he can really design Hanxin!"

Then, she simply gave an example to describe it.

It's like putting blocks.

The Motorola chip is a complete building block. Wang Jin brought back every building block from the United States, and then organized a team to start secret development to arrange these building blocks.

In this way, the design difficulty is greatly reduced, and it is really possible to develop successfully.

However, time was not on his side.

Liang Jingdao: "At that time, Hanxin did a total of three phases, and the appraisal team sent out more than a dozen experts, all of whom were well-known academicians. Teacher Ni really didn't know, he only did technical appraisal. Are there any other academicians? I know, but I don’t know. Anyway, the result is that a young man with a sense of justice exposed the fraudulent incident, which aroused social repercussions. Wang Jin didn’t have the opportunity to continue to put building blocks, and the team disbanded.”

Zhou Buqi is not clear about the specific process.

However, it can be deduced from the results.

The huge scandal of Hanxin’s counterfeiting caused a huge negative impact. As a result, few people were actually punished.

"Indeed, when it comes to this level, it cannot be judged by the simple standard of right and wrong. The world is not benevolent, and justice is not necessarily correct."

Zhou Buqi was quite moved, and then he was very happy, because he found that Ms. Liang Jing was really extraordinary, and experience and experience were also part of her ability.

Liang Jing sat upright, and said seriously: "Mr. Zhou, I am willing to continue to fight on the chip front. If you give me a chance, I will join Ziweixing. If you really think that Mr. Ni is as bad as the industry says, you can It doesn’t matter if you look down on me, I started my own business as a travel website.”

Zhou Buqi said bitterly: "I have no problem with Academician Ni, but what he did with Yongzhong Software really caused me a lot of trouble!"

"how?"

Liang Jing was very surprised, and Lei Jun, who had been silent by the side, was also a little baffled.

Zhou Buqi said: "It is of course a good thing to make domestic software. But why do you want to mobilize public opinion to discredit Microsoft? Can our country's technological strength really compete with Microsoft? The domestic operating system has done such a thing a few years ago. What’s the result? When our big leader visited the United States, he had to go to Bill Gates’ home to give an explanation, and he also brought Founder, Tongfang, Lenovo, Haier, TCL and other state-owned enterprises to present more than one billion US dollars. Orders. Microsoft has just replaced the moderate Chen Yongzheng as the president of Microsoft China. Last year, their president changed again, and a hardliner was appointed, isn’t the signal obvious?”

Lei Jun frowned, "What does this have to do with you?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Why doesn't it matter? Microsoft is treated unfairly in China, and Ziweixing goes to the United States to develop, what do you think will happen? Of course, the interests of individual companies are far less important than national interests. If domestic software can really surpass Microsoft's , I am also willing to block the U.S. business of Ziweixing. But does Yongzhong Software have the strength? Are they worthy of challenging Microsoft? As long as Microsoft takes a wave of countermeasures, the end will be terrible."

After a pause, Zhou Buqi continued: "Google is squeezed out, and there is Baidu in China. There is no Twitter, but there is Weibo in China. But Microsoft is unique. Microsoft's software business has invested at least 50 billion in the past ten years. In US dollars, Yongzhong Software is worth 150 million yuan in national funds, how do you compare it? Just for Yongzhong’s 100 million or 200 million R\u0026D funds, preventing Ziweixing from going to the United States to develop a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars?"

Lei Jun was secretly startled.

Then, he felt a sense of powerlessness, and the way he looked at Zhou Buqi changed, becoming a little numb.

The gap is too big!

Back then, this kid brought people to Jinshan to ask for cooperation, hoping that Jinshan could advertise on the school's Internet. Lei Jun was too lazy to meet such a small person.

It's only been a few years, and the two sides are no longer at the same level.

Liang Jing took a deep breath, "Mr. Zhou, although I don't think it has anything to do with Mr. Ni to use public opinion to crowd out Microsoft, but if this has caused you any trouble, I would like to apologize to you on his behalf. He really hopes that our science and technology It can be localized."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "I'm not that stingy."

Liang Jingdao: "I also think that Yongzhong can't beat Microsoft. In my opinion, as long as the intellectual property issues are resolved, the technical route is chosen, and the chip is sure to be made by finding capable people and investing in it. What is uncertain is the operation. System. As a chip, you can bypass Intel and Microsoft, and you must adapt to Microsoft's system. I have followed Mr. Ni in the past few years, and I have participated in too many high-end conferences. The discourse system of more than ten years ago. I don’t want to continue with Teacher Ni. I can’t push it, and he can’t push it. I just want to join Ziweixing.”

Zhou Buqi was silent for half a minute, and said slowly: "Ziweixing and Tsinghua have cooperated to establish a Ziweixing-Tsinghua Integrated Circuit Research Center. If you want, you can be the director or deputy director. Coordinate the research center and Ziwei The relationship between MSI is the relationship between scientific research and the market.”

This position is a bit like a product manager.

It is in line with Liang Jing's ability. She is a well-known product manager in Zhongguancun.

Liang Jing was very happy, "Okay! Thank you Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "For this job, you only need to select a scientific research topic, connect with Ziweixing's technical committee, and coordinate in the middle. The research center does not need you in the early stage, and it may not be officially open until November. In the past few months, you go... Well, I will give you three options. First, to be an assistant to Liang Rubo, the president of Youyou.com; second, to be an assistant to Wang Xiaochuan, the president of Weidian Search; third, to be an assistant to Weidian Fu Sheng, the president of the company, is an assistant. I only have one task, to figure out the concept of 'user experience'. Technology, in the final analysis, serves people."
