I Found A Planet

Fu Weiwu, chairman of Loongson Corporation, and person in charge of the National 863 Project.

He is 53 years old this year, still young, but long-term toil and worry have made his hair dyed gray, and most of his hair is gray.

And Godson has been in his hands for 20 years since its establishment at the beginning of this century... It can be said that half of his life has been dedicated to domestic self-made chips.

Until recently, after the release of the Godson 5A4000 computer, the long-term anxiety on his face finally dissipated a lot, and he showed some smiles.

Because this product was a success.

Not only did the government purchase 100,000 units at one time.

Many Loongson enthusiasts at home and abroad have also bought a full 50,000 units... After the experience, they received rave reviews.

In the civilian market, it was the first time that a major breakthrough was made and it was accepted by some ordinary consumers.

In another two years, as long as Loongson launches Loongson computers with better technology and more powerful performance, it will definitely be more widely welcomed and win a bigger market.

He has this confidence!

However, on December 20th, Fu Weiwu was caught off guard by the visit of a person, and even a little dazed.

Xinghai Technology CEO, Ling Jundong.

In the tea room.

He was taken aback by the proposal the man made, after having exchanged civilities with him.

Ling Jundong said: "Mr. Fu, your company's persistence is respectable. The achievements you have made over the years are worthy of everyone's admiration. However, the MIPS architecture is still too niche, and the Linux operating system is not suitable for civilian use. This road has been going all the way. Going on, it is very difficult to achieve great success.”

Fu Weiwu was not angry about such unfavorable remarks, he had heard too much, and said lightly: "I know it is difficult, but we are on the road to success, and we will definitely succeed in the end."

"But it will take a long, long time, Mr. Fu, this process is still too slow." Ling Jundong shook his head.

Fu Weiwu's face darkened, and he retorted: "I am 53 years old now, and I will retire at the age of 70. Is it still possible? Mr. Ling, what is the purpose of your coming here?"

He was a little impatient, and he had heard too many similar bad-mouthing remarks, which were meaningless and would only delay his normal work.

If we don't talk about any substantive topics, he will issue an order to evict the guests.

"It's Mr. Fu. Xinghai Technology is also making its own CPU and operating system. Do you know about this?" Ling Jundong asked.

"Know."

Fu Weiwu nodded: "You guys are very courageous, and your steps are even greater... What, are you in trouble?" So I came to find Godson for help.

"No, we succeeded. We adopted a self-developed architecture and an independent operating system to make the first purely domestic computer." Ling Jundong said.

What?

Fu Weiwu was taken aback: "You guys succeeded so quickly?"

And from the hardware architecture to the software system, all are independent, how is this possible?

"Yes, we have achieved initial success, and our self-developed architecture is extremely advanced, and the operating system is also very smooth and easy to use. The performance of the first prototype we made should not be inferior to the Godson 5A4000 just released by your company."

Fu Weiwu's eyes widened.

Shake your head violently again!

Bragging, this must be bragging!

It has only been two years since Xinghai Technology decided to make a personal computer, and the achievements it has produced are comparable to the achievements of Godson's 20-year struggle. Is this possible?

Is this in line with science?

Anyway, he is 10,000 unbelievers.

He laughed and said, "Mr. Ling, I don't know if your computer research and development department has purchased our Godson 5A4000 computer. If you bought it and experienced it carefully, you should not say such things in front of me. The current social atmosphere is too impetuous, everyone is eager for quick success, I suggest that your company should calm down and do things well, maybe five to ten years later, you will reach the current height of Godson."

What he said was not ridicule, but a sincere suggestion. To make an independent chip, you must endure loneliness, and the mentality of eager for quick success and instant benefit will never accomplish anything.

He also hopes that Xinghai Technology will succeed, so that Godson will have a partner on the road to autonomy.

"Bought Mr. Fu, our computer project team bought several Loongson 5A, did a number of comparative tests, and concluded that they were comparable."

Ling Jundong said that he was obviously modest in his words. The actual test results are: in almost all test items, the Godson 5A was beaten by the "Xinghai Generation" computer.

Fu Weiwu's face finally became ugly now.

I couldn't continue the chat, so I stood up and said, "Mr. Ling, I would like to advise your company that no matter what product you make, you must be down-to-earth and down-to-earth. A company that relies on bragging and big words is doomed to not go far... There are other things, excuse me Already." He shook his hand and started to leave.

"Boss Fu, I brought a 'Xinghai Generation' laptop over, so I can demonstrate it to you."

Fu Weiwu paused.

...

Ling Jundong did bring a "Xinghai Generation" notebook and put it in his handbag.

Seeing that Boss Fu really didn't believe his words, he could only take out this computer and demonstrate it to him face to face.

He also talked about the technical characteristics of the "Weaver Girl Architecture" used in the "Qinglong Generation" CPU in the computer.

It talked about the power of the kernel used in "Xuanyuan Operating System".

He even put down the mouse and let Fu Weiwu operate the real machine for more than two hours.

Until one afternoon passed.

The laptop was turned off.

Fu Weiwu had no choice but to put down the mouse in his hand, and sat on the chair blankly, without speaking for a long time.

None of the other technicians present stepped forward to persuade them.

hit.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow.

He has worked hard for more than 20 years, but it is not as good as a new company's research and development for two years.

The astonishing Zhinu architecture, the smooth and easy-to-use Xuanyuan operating system, and an independent system from hardware to software.

Its powerful performance, not only Fu Weiwu, but other Godson scientific researchers present all lowered their heads and began to doubt life.

There was a voice in my heart: Our things are such rubbish.

Unable to accept it even more, Fu Weiwu was in a daze for a while, and tears suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Patting himself on the chest: "Twenty years of useless work, such a good structure, such a good system, why didn't it appear earlier, why did it suddenly appear in front of me when Godson made some achievements?"

On the one hand, he hated himself for being incompetent; on the other hand, he also blamed why such a computer product didn't appear in front of him earlier, but when he was old and most confident, it came to stimulate him. one time?

Ling Jundong was a little ashamed. He knew that he shouldn't have brought that laptop with him. He didn't want to provoke this respectable dream chaser with faith. It is still the south wall.

So he comforted Fu Weiwu with the others, and let him calm down.

Ling Jundong revealed his real purpose:

"Mr. Fu, Xinghai Technology wants to take you on a brighter path. We offer two options:"

"One, Xinghai Technology acquired Godson at a premium, reorganized the project team, abandoned the MIPS route, and joined the development of the Vega architecture."

"Second, we don't buy Loongson, but we are willing to license the Vega architecture and Xuanyuan system to Loongson, launch the 'Xinghai Computer Alliance', integrate all domestic software and hardware manufacturers, fully promote the Vega architecture and Xuanyuan system, and create a strong ecosystem. system."

"In short, we hope that Godson will join us."

Hear the words.

The technicians of Godson chattered and discussed, and finally looked at Fu Weiwu.

Fu Weiwu fell into silence, and did not reply immediately.

Ling Jundong said: "Mr. Fu, I hope you will think about it for a few days, and you can give me an answer at any time."

Immediately, Ling Jundong left the imperial capital and returned to Shang Hai.
