Make an appointment to meet at six o'clock in the evening.
Academician Ni Danan came at 5:40, bringing one of his students with him.
He is nearly sixty years old, holding a briefcase in his hand, wearing a brown suit, wearing glasses on the bridge of his nose, with gray hair, and looks elegant.
It is said that appearance comes from the heart.
Mr. Ni's temperament made Su Yehao feel very comfortable. Coupled with the influence of preconceived memories, he immediately extended his hand after meeting and said politely: "Academician Ni, right? Hello, hello! My surname is Su, Su Yehao."
"Hello, Master Xiao Su's Mandarin is very good. I'm sorry that I'm late. It's difficult to take a taxi after get off work and there's a traffic jam on the road."
Mr. Ni said with a kind face and a smile.
Looking around, I saw a lot of bodyguards. At first I thought Su Yehao was really sharp.
After thinking about it again, I thought it was reasonable. After all, I came from a wealthy family. There have been many wealthy people getting into trouble in recent years. Of course, I can't live alone like ordinary people.
Su Yehao heard this and said with a smile: "No way, it's still early before the agreed time. I also came to check out the restaurant owned by my partner Chu Jun, so I arrived early. I often come to the mainland to do business, so I can't speak Mandarin.
Specially practiced.”
After some polite exchanges, he shook hands with Academician Ni's students.
He is said to be a student, about forty years old, with sparse hair on his head, and his name is Zeng Guangpei.
Hearing this name, Su Yehao instantly remembered that Chu Jun had mentioned that it was Zeng Guangpei who contacted Chu Jun and built a bridge, and then today's meeting happened.
Thinking of working in the Liangxiang Group with Mr. Ni, Zeng Guangpei's ability was probably not too bad, and he wanted to recruit the R&D team under him, so Su Yehao was also very polite to him.
Chu Jun had just gone to greet other guests. Now, as the host, he ran back to greet them with a smile and went to sit in a private room in the backyard.
The floor of the private room is paved with old bricks, and there are landscape paintings hanging on the walls, as well as the four characters "Thick accumulation and thin hair" with flying dragons and phoenixes, which is antique. There are golden marbles and old potted plants in the corner, and rockeries and plum blossoms can be seen outside the glass window.

Although the environment is not very high-end, it looks relatively comfortable.
After small talk.
Su Yehao took the initiative to talk about business, with a smile on his face, and asked: "I have heard about Mr. Ni's unsatisfactory work in Liangxiang. Recently, I also want to enter the personal computer manufacturing and sales market. There is no other way at the beginning.
, it is definitely focused on procurement and assembly, but unlike Liangxiang Group, I have a bigger appetite. The personal computer business is only secondary, and the main focus is to seize the upstream and downstream markets."
"...What exactly are the upstream and downstream markets?" Mr. Ni grasped the key points and hit the nail on the head.
"The upstream is mainly chip foundry, and then R&D design. After all, if I invest a huge amount of money to design it, and I am suppressed in the end, and there is no factory to produce it for me, wouldn't I just stare at it? With the temper of Intel companies
, if you can really do this kind of thing, it involves interests, and you can’t do anything too much, so in the early stage, finding ways to win the photolithography machine and OEM production is more important than the research and development itself in my opinion.”
Everyone wanted to do something practical, Su Yehao did not talk in circles, and then explained:
"As for the downstream, the main thing is to cultivate a large enough group of Internet users. While promoting the development of informatization, my Internet companies, including instant chat, portals, social platforms, office software, online games, etc., can all be deployed
The money earned can be used for research and development. I am not like some people who have too shallow eye sockets. The upstream parts of personal computers and the downstream Internet ecological chain are very profitable, and only the assembly and production links are
It's a bit off, just a little fuss."
This sentence, even to the ears of the Chu army, was quite embarrassing.
Chu Jun was worried that Mr. Ni, who had worked in Liangxiang for more than ten years, was not feeling well, so he spoke up and explained what he had said in the morning: "Hardware manufacturing profits are not higher than 5% to 10%, and lowering prices will push up the level of domestic informatization development."
The statement was brought out exactly as it was, and I took the opportunity to praise Su Yehao’s foresight.
Thinking that the two sides had different development concepts, Chu Jun even gloated about the misfortune and added: "Once Mr. Su's products are launched, the first unlucky one will be Liangxiang Group, which can be considered a bad mouth."
Mr. Ni smiled happily, waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter if it makes you angry or not, but lowering the price of computers will indeed help to popularize personal computers. I have tried the broadband high-speed network that will be launched in China this year, and the Internet speed is not ordinary. The most lacking thing now is computers, and the price
It's too expensive and others can't afford it. I once advised some people to focus on the stock price, fearing that the stock price would fall as profits fell, so they ignored me."
He said it didn't matter, and his expression looked quite happy.
A gentle man who specializes in technology cannot hide things in his heart, just like conflicts with certain people can be brought to the table calmly. Right is right and wrong is wrong, even if it is mixed with astonishing interests.
You can ignore it in front of you.
Su Yehao smiled and continued:
"I think Mr. Ni, you know better than me how difficult it is to make your own way. I have considered it in the past two days. The first step is to produce and assemble computers. At the same time, we also invest in the production and development of lithography machines, etc.
Companies with key technologies strive to realize chip foundry as soon as possible.”
"Recently, I was helping my dad invest in the Midea Group, looking for reliable mobile phone production technology. My subordinates told me that Qualcomm in the United States plans to sell its mobile phone R&D center because it plans to focus on communication technology and chips.
I will not be allowed to eat alone. If I want both, I will be jointly suppressed by my colleagues, so it is important to make a choice."
"Assembly and foundry are only the first step. It is likely that we will have to wait until later to find other opportunities to develop chips, mainly mid- to low-end microchips, which are similar to Qualcomm's goals. This thing occupies a relatively large market share.
The chips used in computers must not be backward. In the future, various terminals will be the mainstream. They will be used in washing machines and TVs, as well as in mobile phones. It will be difficult to become fat in one bite..."
Su Yehao has thought carefully about these aspects in advance.
Mr. Ni's idea was a bit idealistic. He focused on research and development and didn't think much about commercial marketization. After hearing this, he just asked: "What about the operating system? Mr. Su, have you ever thought about investing some money to compete with Microsoft?"
?”
"... It is not difficult to develop an operating system. What is difficult is how to build an ecosystem around it. Even if it is really made, how many people will use it is the key."
A chip and an operating system were the main points of disagreement between Mr. Ni and his boss. Su Yehao had guessed in advance that he might ask.
With a smile on his face at this moment, Su Yehao shook his head and then told:
"Competing with others on other people's tracks is getting twice the result with half the effort. Why not change a path? Technology is developing so fast. In a few years, mobile phones may be equipped with a brand new operating system, and even refrigerators can access the Internet.
Besides working and playing games, who else uses computers? Also, I’m actually eyeing Apple, but I don’t have that much money for the time being. It has a complete computer operating system. Unfortunately, it took 20 or 30 years, and the ecosystem is still there.
It has not developed, let alone us..."
Mr. Ni is considered a great person.
An ordinary person standing on the first floor may be standing on the fourth or fifth floor.
And Su Yehao's height is as high as ten or twenty floors, so when talking, it's a bit like bragging without drafting, which is quite unrealistic.
Mr. Ni originally thought that it would be enough to get a sum of funds to do chip research and development and operating system research and development. Unexpectedly, Su Yehao was interested in chip foundry and microchips.
Looking at the operating system again, it is more like drawing an unrealistic pie.
However, in the eyes of the old man, Su Yehao is still remarkable, with more advantages than shortcomings.
After all, after searching for so long, no one else dared to invest except this twenty-year-old boy. Occasionally, I met some idiots who asked if they could build a computer chip production line with just a few million dollars...
