"There's still money!"

Liang Jing added.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Of course, funding is a very important part."

Liang Jing shook her head gently, "I'm not talking about the total funds, I'm talking about the salary for developers. In the past few years, I worked with Teacher Ni at Ark Technology. In fact, I did pretty well at the beginning and successfully developed

We got the first embedded chip in China, and the leaders went to investigate it one after another. But then it didn’t work anymore.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "You are an insider, you can give some different opinions."

Liang Jing said: "Well, Ark's R&D team is actually quite good. Teacher Ni also thought that their R&D capabilities were strong, so he joined. However, there was a problem with the salary. At that time, Ark 3's R&D funding was 1538

Ten thousand yuan, but according to national requirements, the salary portion for scientific researchers must 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 secretly shook his head.

The people who make chips are the rarest and best people in this country, and they only pay so much money a month... If you can't live with your feelings, why don't you go abroad?

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

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

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

But large investments like chips cannot be made by enterprises alone.

For example, the integrated circuit research center jointly developed by Ziweixing and Tsinghua University must be led by Ziweixing and funded by Ziweixing, and then the government and Tsinghua will jointly fund and develop it together.

If everyone contributes money together, they must act in accordance with the country's rules and regulations, regardless of what Ziweixing said. The university is a public institution, and the applicable regulations are that the salary ratio cannot exceed 5%.

This will inevitably result in doctors and masters in schools receiving very meager salaries for their work as professors.

But human nature is self-interested.

Only when you have enough food and clothing can you devote yourself wholeheartedly to the career you love. When there are problems in basic life, you still have to endure hardships and work hard on scientific and technological projects... This is really asking scientists to meet the standards of a saint.

Zhou Buqi shook his head repeatedly and said: "The biggest problem encountered by the domestic scientific research environment is that scientific research is seriously disconnected from the market, just like capital is a scourge that will corrode science and technology. Technology is to serve products, and products are to serve users. No

Users, no matter how good the scientific and 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 lightly, "At first, Ark Chip was very good, and Mr. Li was sincere, but the salary was really not good. Let me report it to the leader. After I went, I was ridiculed by experts, saying

The funds for the chip project are mainly used for tape-out and EDA tools, and the personnel salaries are only a fraction of the cost."

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

"Yes, they think about the problem like this from top to bottom. They ignore the market's competition for talents and market pricing. They focus on maintaining the official rules. That's what is required. If you can't do it, you are wrong. Do it.

If the chip doesn't come out, it's a scandal, it means Teacher Ni doesn't know people well and was deceived."

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled. He had never thought about it from this perspective.

Because he received a lot of support from Mr. Liu, he had never thought highly of Academician Ni. He felt that he was a parallel academician who worked for various scammers and defrauded too many national funds. If he was really that stupid, how could he let Liang Jing do it?

Is this the most talented woman in Zhongguancun following her wholeheartedly?

There are many deeper issues behind this that are far beyond the control of a single scientist.

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

The winner is a prince, the loser is a bandit.

If you lose, you become a liar.

If every loser is labeled as a liar who is wasting national funds and is only allowed to succeed but not fail, who will be willing to try scientific and technological research in such a high-tech field?

Liang Jing said calmly: "Liu Qiang, and I... I have such confidence. It shouldn't be difficult for people like us to make tens of millions a year by just doing simple things. But, what we do

The most difficult and arduous thing is to give us the least amount of money. Who is happy with this kind of thing? If I hadn't been with Teacher Ni for so many years, I would have stayed at Lenovo, just assemble some machines, and not be criticized for being a coward.

How great would it be to make a lot of money?"

Zhou Buqi asked: "Who is Liu Qiang?"

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

"Where are you now?"

"He left Ark and started his own business, Junzheng Company, which develops some low-end chips for MP4, learning machines, e-books and other simple electronic devices. This is very easy for him. I heard that he is already planning to go public.

There are valuations in the billions.”

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Yes, it is relatively easy for technology experts who are involved in cutting-edge topics to make some low-end chips and make money.

Liang Jing could tell that the young Mr. Zhou was a little dissatisfied with Mr. Ni, so she wanted to explain a few more words. There were many misunderstandings about Mr. Ni in the industry, especially the fact that Mr. Ni served as a member of the expert group to perform appraisals for Hanxin.

"Back then, Hanxin was in great turmoil. I followed Teacher Ni and took part in it."

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

"Yes, it's a fake." Liang Jing nodded, "At that time, Wang Jin took Motorola's chip, obliterated the Motorola logo, and replaced it with Hanxin's logo. But at that time, Wang Jin also organized a large team

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 Jing said: "The meaning is 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 laying out building blocks.

The Motorola chip is a complete building block laid out. Wang Jin brought every building block back from the United States, and then organized a team to start developing it in secret to arrange the building blocks neatly.

In this way, the design difficulty is greatly reduced, and successful development is really possible.

However, time was not on his side.

Liang Jing said: "At that time, Hanxin conducted a total of three phases, and the appraisal team sent out more than a dozen experts, all of whom were well-known academicians. Mr. Ni really didn't know about it. He only did technical appraisals. Are there any other academicians?

I knew it, but I didn’t know. Anyway, the result was that a young man with a sense of justice exposed the fraud, which aroused social repercussions. Wang Jin no longer had the opportunity to continue setting up the building blocks, and the team was disbanded."

Zhou Buqi doesn’t know the specific process.

However, it can be deduced from the results.

A huge scandal like Hanxin's counterfeiting had a huge negative impact, and as a result, few people were actually punished.

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

Zhou Buqi was quite emotional, and then he was very happy, because he found that Ms. Liang Jing was indeed extraordinary, and experience was 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 Teacher Ni is as unworthy as the industry says, then you

It doesn’t matter if you look down on me, I will start my own business and build a travel website.”

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

"What's going on?"

Liang Jing was surprised, and Lei Jun, who had been silent all the time, was also a little baffled.

Zhou Buqi said: "It is of course a good thing to make domestic software. But why should we mobilize public opinion to discredit Microsoft? Can our country's technological strength really compete with Microsoft? This has happened with domestic operating systems in the past few years.

What’s the result? When our top leaders visit the United States, they have to go to Bill Gates.

They also brought along Founder, Tongfang, Lenovo, Haier, TCL and other state-owned enterprises to deliver large orders of more than one billion US dollars. Only then did Microsoft replace the mild-mannered Chen Yongzheng as the president of Microsoft China. Last year, they

The CEO has changed again, and another hardliner has been appointed. Isn’t the signal still obvious?”

Lei Jun frowned, "Does this have anything to do with you?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Why doesn't it matter? Microsoft has been 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 the interests of the country. If domestic software can really surpass Microsoft,

, I am willing to have Ziweixing’s U.S. business hindered. But does Yongzhong Software have the strength? Are they worthy of challenging Microsoft? As long as Microsoft launches a counterattack, the end will be very terrible.”

After a pause, Zhou Buqi continued: "Without Google, there is still Baidu in China. Without Twitter, there is still Weibo in China. But Microsoft is unique. Microsoft has invested at least 50 billion in its software business in the past ten years.

US dollars, Yongzhong Software’s national funding is 150 million yuan, how do you compare it? Just for Yongzhong’s one or two billion R&D funds, hinder Ziweixing from going to the United States to develop a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars?”

Lei Jun was secretly shocked.

Then, I felt a sense of powerlessness, and the look in Zhou Buqi's eyes changed, becoming a little numb.

The gap is too big!

I remember back then, this guy brought people to Jinshan to ask for cooperation, hoping that Jinshan could advertise on the school's online site. Lei Jun was too lazy to meet such a small person.

It has only been a few years, and the two sides are no longer on the same level.

Liang Jing took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Zhou, although I think using public opinion to exclude Microsoft has nothing to do with Teacher Ni, if this has caused you any trouble, I am willing to apologize to you on his behalf. He hopes that our science and technology will be improved."

It can be domestically produced.”

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

Liang Jing said: "I also think Yongzhong can't beat Microsoft. In my opinion, as long as we solve the intellectual property issues, choose a technical route, find people who can do it, and put in the work, the chip can definitely be made. What can't be solved is the operation.
