nc does not mean being a brainless computer, but a computer that is called "network computer" compared to PC.

The concept of network computers was proposed in 1995 and caused a huge response in the industry at that time. Relying on information access and processing in the Internet environment, this kind of computer relies on information access and processing. In addition to necessary human-computer interaction devices, it generally does not have external storage devices and even has few expansion ports.

The "Network Computer Alliance" was established in the year when the concept of nc was proposed. Subsequently, five major manufacturers including ibm, Apple, Oracle, etc. jointly announced the industrial standards for network computers. More than 70 manufacturers expressed their support. ibm and other companies quickly launched the first batch of such computers, and other manufacturers launched related servers and desktop software.

What does this mean for manufacturers led by ibm and Apple?

They are challenging the "wintel alliance" led by Intel and Microsoft, because such computers can bypass Intel chips and Microsoft's operating system.

The "Wintel Alliance" quickly reacted and quickly launched an NC that uses Intel Pentium chips and Microsoft systems. Since many users are already familiar with Microsoft systems, the NC products of the "Wintel Alliance" are developing rapidly and have begun various applications that restrict NC.

Just like relying on new energy vehicles to catch up with international pace, China is eager to use NC to master its own chips and operating systems. Academician Ni ran around for this and even looked for Shenzhou Technology, but Song Weiyang politely rejected it.

Although Song Weiyang does not understand technology, he is a time traveler. As a prophet, Song Weiyang never heard of NC in his previous life. It can be seen that this thing failed in the end, at least completely in the mass market.

How could Shenzhou Technology do something that failed? (Song Weiyang is ignorant. Although NC is a non-mainstream in the computer industry, it is often used in securities, education, banking and other fields)

But someone has gotten to Academician Ni's appetite, that is Li Delei, the boss of "SMIC".

Li Delei studied for undergraduate degree at Harbin Institute of Technology, graduate school at the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a PhD at Albert University. He was hired as a tenured professor at York University. Later, Li Delei joined Motorola and built his own company to undertake Motorola's outsourcing projects. This is not allowed in the United States, and outsourcing projects cannot be handed over to internal employees. So Li Delei invited Harbin Institute of Technology alumnus Hu Mingzeng to serve as the company's legal person and listed his shares in the name of his relatives.

Li Delei's small move was soon discovered by Motorola. He could only voluntarily resign and switch to Hitachi (USA), and continued to undertake Hitachi's outsourcing projects. As a result, Hitachi (USA) also discovered something. Li Delei lost his job and the company could not receive projects since then, but the company's chip R&D team was trained.

At this time, Academician Ni was promoting the NC concept everywhere. Li Delei had an idea and changed the company name to "SMIC". He complained to the shareholders that it was difficult to make money, and took the opportunity to weaken the shares of an old shareholder, and then took his own shares back from relatives. He found Academician Ni a few days ago to discuss cooperation.

Academician Ni is not a fool either. He first tested Li Delei's professional qualities and then inspected the company's chip research and development team. Everything made Academician Ni feel extremely satisfied.

Think about it, Li Delei is a tenured professor at York University. His team used to undertake chip outsourcing projects from Motorola and Hitachi, so it is absolutely impossible to be vague in terms of professionalism. Academician Ni is promoting the concept of NC, just to make NC chips and then make NC operating systems, which hit it off with Li Delei.

Academician Ni does not get a salary or holds a position, but he takes the initiative to help Li Delei build the company. While helping with projects and applying for scientific research funds, he mobilizes all his connections and helps Li Delei's company reach a cooperation intention. Song Weiyang is just one of the connections that Academician Ni finds.

"Xiao Song, let me introduce it," Academician Ni looked full of joy. "This is Boss Li Delei, a tenured professor at York University, and has a very mature chip research and development team in his hand."

Song Weiyang shook hands with a playful expression on his face and said, "Hello, Mr. Li!"

"Boss Song, I have long been famous!" Li Delei shook hands with Song Weiyang enthusiastically. He didn't have much money. Academician Ni had helped to get more than 20 million in two days ago. It would be even better if Song Weiyang, a big financial backer, could invest.

Academician Ni didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point: "Xiao Song, I have talked to you about NC before. Now Boss Li's SMIC Micro plans to make NC chips. China can completely bypass Intel and Microsoft, make NC-based embedded chips, and then make operating systems and various software around NC. This is a great opportunity to overtake. As long as the project is successful, China will no longer be restricted by Intel and Microsoft!"

Although Song Weiyang is a computer novice, as the boss of Shenzhou Technology, his basic knowledge has made up for a lot of mistakes. He asked: "Internet computers are also computers, how are the ecological dilemmas related?"

Academician Ni waved his left hand excitedly and said, "Solve compatibility issues with Microsoft application software through WBT mode and solve software development issues through LBT mode. I used to not promote NC because China's Internet speed was too slow, but now the whole country is promoting broadband technology. In another year, it will definitely basically solve NC network problems! China can not only use NC to overtake, but NC can also help China popularize computers. A PC computer costs 6,000 yuan, while an NC computer only costs 1,500 yuan. Buying an NC computer is like buying a color TV. Countless Chinese people can afford it!"

"How to deal with countermeasures from foreign manufacturers?" Song Weiyang asked.

Academician Ni said: "Now the Wintel Alliance led by Intel and Microsoft dominates. Although this alliance is powerful, it also makes countless enemies. ibm, Apple, Oracle, and many other companies are all fighting against the Wintel Alliance. We can join the ibm alliance system."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "You talked to me about NC last time. I have learned specifically after that. This concept was initiated by Oracle. Three years ago, the boss of Oracle held a conference to promote NC and used NC to send emails and flower photos to his mother. As a result, the NC computer crashed on the spot, and the scene was extremely awkward. Now, Oracle, the founder of NC, has almost given up. The United States, as the base camp, is no longer keen on the concept of NC. Why can China win?"

"China is different from the United States," said Academician Ni. "The United States is the market dominant everything, and China can be guided by the government. Moreover, NC is still widely used in the United States. 98 top 100 companies have begun to adopt NC products, and 400 top 500 companies are also adopting NC products."

Song Weiyang said: "However, more than 95% of the computers used by these companies are PCs, and NC computers are just a supplement. There is also the most fatal problem. Most of the server side in China are controlled by Wintel Alliance, and the most important thing for NC computers is the server side. Once Wintel Alliance chokes on the server side, then NC is not much different from a calculator, and it is even difficult to play large-scale stand-alone games. If you want to develop NC products in China, you have to first replace most of the servers with ibm. Who pays to change servers for users across the country?"

"This..." Academician Ni suddenly couldn't speak.

"Give up." Song Weiyang advised.

Everything else can be ignored, the server side is the key point.

Historically, Li Delei, who was recognized as a liar, did develop the Ark chip at the beginning, and it was forcibly promoted by the Beijing official.

How popular was it at that time?

Due to pressure from the government, Lenovo had to risk offending Intel and actively launched NC computers using Ark chips. As soon as the news was released, the first batch of 5,000 units were sold out before the computers started to be produced, and all of them were booked by enterprises and institutions in Beijing.

The concept of nc is very popular, and leaders at all levels are also keen on inspections. At that time, schools that focused on promoting nc were promoted. Whenever leaders came to inspect, the principals complained: "Nc cannot be used, please change us to PC." The Public Security Bureau of Beijing even invited Tsinghua experts to do scientific appraisals that nc cannot be used, and threatened, "Whatever you do is not director, you just don't need it!" This is because Wintel Alliance was choked on the server side.

Li Delei was originally a businessman who pursued interests. Seeing this, he immediately acted indiscriminately and directly misappropriated the national scientific research funds for real estate.

Song Weiyang said: "Academician Ni, Shenzhou Technology is also developing embedded chips, and it has reached the stage of about to be leaked. You should come to Shenzhou Technology to work, and you can choose your position. NC is a product with no future."

Academician Ni said: "You don't have to persuade me. Even if your chip is made, you still cannot develop the Chinese operating system and can only become a follower of the Wintel Alliance."

Li Delei also said: "Since Boss Song is unwilling to invest, I won't force it anymore. SMIC can definitely deliver a satisfactory answer to the Chinese people."

Song Weiyang looked at Li Delei and thought about how to kill this person. His mind changed and suddenly said, "Since it is for the national plan, I am willing to invest whether it can succeed or not!"

"That's great!" Academician Ni was overjoyed.

Li Delei also said happily: "How much does Boss Song plan to invest?"

"I personally invest 30 million yuan." Song Weiyang said.

"I wish us a happy cooperation!" Li Delei shook hands enthusiastically.

The liar Song Ruhua was working on software parks everywhere, and Song Weiyang was preparing to take over the market all the way behind him.

The same is true for Li Delei. In history, when Ark chip research and development was successful, all ministries and commissions came over to all the representatives. The government's scientific research funds were also continuously flowing. Zhongguancun approved a large area of ​​land and orders from countless enterprises and institutions.

What is 30 million?

The land in Zhongguancun alone and the Ark Building built later were more than 30 million yuan.

Song Weiyang only needs to invest in shares, so that Li Delei can do it with great enthusiasm. At the critical moment, he sent someone to check the accounts and sent Li Delei, who misappropriated the scientific research fund, to jail. Song Weiyang stood up and cleaned up the mess, and he could get the following benefits: a building located in Zhongguancun, a mature chip research and development team, and the kindness of countless ministries and commission leaders. Before that, Shenzhou Computer could also use Ark chips to successfully obtain orders from countless enterprises and institutions!

The bad guy asked Li Delei to do it, while Song Weiyang was only a good guy, and he was a great guy who turned the tide.

What's the point of exposing a liar?
Chapter completed!
