The hot summer has arrived, and the sun begins to radiate scorching heat from five or six in the morning.
It makes people sweat profusely.
The forecast said the temperature would be 34 degrees, and it also said the physical temperature would be 44 degrees. The heat can be imagined.
However, even so, the heat wave could not stop the huge crowds of people in the streets and alleys.
However, even so... Lao Miaotou still walked out of the office building with several key personnel from 10 o'clock, and waited in the shade at the entrance of the building.
That posture was just short of putting up a banner to warmly welcome Boss Wen.
Today is different from the past.
Mr. Wen expressed his intention to visit Mr. Miao through official channels. Mr. Miao must receive him in a serious manner, and the standards should not be low.
Do you want to sit in the office and wait like before?
That's not possible.
Nowadays, there are only a few people in the country like Lao Pingtou who can sit in offices and wait for Wen Liang.
After all... even Chen Jiaxin, who represents Bolang, has already become a member of the National People's Congress, nationwide, at the beginning of the year.
Last year, I was still thinking about the Yangcheng level, and I arrived in Guangdong at the end of the year. As soon as the conference started at the beginning of this year, I went to the whole country.
There is no way, Bolang is developing quickly~
The Mercedes-Benz that Wen Liang was riding in slowly parked in front of the old-looking office building. With just the right distance between him and the waiting Lao Miaotou and his entourage, Lixia, the co-pilot, quickly got out of the car and opened the rear door.
Wen Liang got out of the car, straightened his clothes out of habit, and shook hands with the old man with a smile on his face.
The old man said cheerfully: "Hello, Mr. Wen, welcome."
Wen Liang also greeted politely: "Good morning, Mr. Miao. I'm sorry that I'm late and kept you waiting for a long time."
"You're welcome, Mr. Wen, please come inside." Lao Miaotou made a gesture, "Mr. Wen's frequent visits to the work show his support and understanding of our work."
Wen Liang also said while walking: "Where, Bolang's work needs the support of Gongxinduo."
It was as if they had just met for the first time today, and they exchanged pleasantries... If it hadn't been for the smell of alcohol when they went to pick up Wen Liang last night, Li Xia would have believed it.
Behind Wen Liang and Lao Miaotou were a large group of people of all colors with smiles on their faces.
This time Wen Liang visited Gongxin, in addition to his assistant Li Xia who was always following him, there was also Zhong Zhengye.
Of course secretary Wan An is also here, but she usually acts as a driver on such occasions and will not attend formal meetings. She will only take minutes of meetings within the company that Wen Liang participates in.
Following two people, an old man and a young man, everyone walked in the corridor talking and laughing.
We entered the conference room and sat down respectively, and the greetings finally came to an end.
The old man smiled and spoke first: "Mr. Wen has come all the way and it's been a hard journey. I don't know if there are any aspects that our company can help solve."
"We will fully support a large technology-based international enterprise like Bolang."
Polite words are unavoidable, Wen Liang also said: "Mr. Miao, several bosses, the situation in the global technology industry has been changing rapidly recently, and frictions in all aspects have intensified rapidly. Last time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other units issued a document to strongly support the development of localized technology, because there are
The strong support and guidance from units such as Industry and Information Technology, Bolang, and Bolang Terminal have some highly independently developed technological products, so we are a little unsure about how to cooperate with the document guidance, and we would like some bosses to give us some advice.
"
"Bolang's development is obvious to all, and we don't dare to take credit casually." A person on the opposite side raised his chin slightly, with a smile on his face, and answered the question in a nonchalant manner.
When people are smiling, coaxing and despising others, they usually have this look... If the description is not accurate enough, you can watch the public speeches of a BGI CEO who wishes to remain anonymous. He always has this look.
The smile on Wen Liang's face was still strong, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of this person's words.
However, he didn't even bother to look at this person.
Brother Xun once said that the highest contempt is speechless, and he doesn't even turn his eyes away.
Someone else calmly changed the topic slightly: "Mr. Wen is right. The influence of the prism has become more and more profound recently. The friction in the global technology industry has intensified. There are many weaknesses in various subdivisions of the technology industry in our country. We should
Develop……"
Only then did the old man take over the conversation with a smile: "We hope that Bolang can continue to play a good role as a locomotive, so that domestic brands can truly become competitive and cope with the increasingly complex international industrial industry and information technology situation."
Then he emphasized: "The elements behind the Prism incident are terrifying to the world. This is a battle that takes place in the information world! We must show our due attitude, and we also believe that leading units like Bolang can bring about changes."
.”
After Lao Miaotou expressed his position, other people in the industry and information industry also had their own opinions: "..."
Finally, Wen Liang said bluntly: "In this case, let us, Lisuke and Mr. Zhong, be responsible for connecting with Gongxin regarding more detailed and specific business aspects."
"That's just right." Lao Miaotou agreed, and then said as he stood up, "Mr. Wen, would you please come and sit in my office for a while?"
Wen Liang nodded happily: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Apart from the initial greetings, this was the first time that an old man and a young man sang and harmonized together, so there would be surprises wherever there are people.
Looking back, it is true that something as big as Prism cannot end quickly.
I don’t know how many years it will take for its influence to fade away.
Frictions in various aspects have actually intensified recently.
Mainly there are some new things happening.
For example, Snow Deng himself was reported to have left Hong Kong a few days ago. He originally planned to go to Iceland and other places, but when he transferred to a certain city in Cuba via Russia, he failed to board the plane as scheduled.
News quickly emerged that he was stranded in Russia, and it was also reported that Snowden was seeking asylum in Russia.
The Russian side has not made any further response for the time being.
However, because of this, many people in America jumped up and started to accuse Russia of this and that, and ignored the global accusations of prism against America.
Some regions expressed dissatisfaction, but this only intensified friction and did not evolve into actual confrontation.
There was no chance for the incident to cool down at all.
There are two interesting things here.
First, America has created countless beautiful landscapes, and the number of people actively or passively criticizing the authorities has expanded a lot. There have been tens of millions of petitions demanding explanations for the invasion of privacy.
Another is that domestic netizens are very interested in the actions of all parties in Bolang who have been watching from the sidelines.
Although Bolang has not released relevant information through official channels, there are still well-informed people who have publicly stated that Bolang has officially entered the communications and storage industries.
Counting the previously disclosed application software mergers and acquisitions, netizens take it for granted that Bolang has used actions to express its position and attitude in such rare and major changes.
Therefore, netizens’ expectations for Bolang are getting higher and higher.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current support and recognition of Bolang by domestic netizens far exceeds that of Juchang in later generations.
After all, the current situation is that after Bolang was restrained and even after the emergence of Prism, it did not just focus on turning around as a spare tire overnight like the later generations of Juchang, but failed to actually produce a sufficient amount of products. Instead, it had already produced autonomously controllable products long before.
Self-developed system.
Now, in a short period of time, Bolang's perseverance has been expressed through practical actions such as various business actions and massive capital investment.
Even though units such as the Industry and Information Technology have made it clear that they will strongly support the development of localized technology, other companies in the domestic industry and information technology industry have been very slow to respond, and can even be said to be indifferent.
Compare the two and make a judgment.
Therefore, there are big bosses here at Gongxin who are acting strangely, and Wen Liangli is not paying attention to them.
This is called confidence.
…………
Moreover, as soon as he entered Lao Miaotou's office, Wen Liangxian complained: "It's all a waste of words, it's all Mr. Miao's fault."
Lao Miaotou: "..."
What can he say? People are subordinate to Gongxin, and he should indeed bear the blame.
After sitting down on the guest sofa first, Lao Miaotou sighed: "If it weren't for the outbreak of Prism without warning, I would even suspect that it has something to do with you. Everything is too beneficial to Bolang, which allows Bolang to promote the industrial chain.
The obstruction intensity has dropped by at least 40%!”
"The timing is just right. The self-developed attributes of the Star System were widely advertised in advance, and then Prism came out... And if you hadn't mentioned the relevant situation to me, even I, the person in charge of the unit, wouldn't have paid much attention to it.
How great are the advantages for domestic related enterprises, and changes in the external environment have brought a perfect excuse for local protection..."
Wen Liang did not agree and went straight to the point: "Bo Lang has now expanded its advantage to the limit. Mr. Miao, the ministry should give the greatest practical support instead of paying lip service to it. In the final analysis, it is an issue of industry independence and information security.
There are only a few companies such as Bolang that can top this aspect in China. Since Bolang is leading step by step, we should concentrate our efforts on doing big things."
"However, we all know that in the current environment, Bolang alone cannot accomplish anything. Bolang urgently needs clear support from the official level to allow Bolang to lay out the industrial chain more comprehensively and extensively."
"Mr. Miao should know how much Bolang has invested in laboratory research and development in the field of basic research and alternative research this year. This requires the joint efforts of a larger number of enterprises and institutions."
The old man nodded from time to time.
Wen Liang's official attitude is very clear, and even his complaints are expressed as Bolang's boss's dissatisfaction with the overall attitude of Gongxin.
Finally, Wen Liang said: "On the other hand, through internal statistical analysis, we believe that there may be some duplicate research projects. We hope that Industry and Information Technology can take the lead in completing the interoperability between Bolang university-level research projects and some core research projects that can be restrictedly disclosed.
None, reducing waste of resources.”
"Bolang will not participate in any form regarding the specific project research and docking content."
The old man pondered for a moment, and then answered the last question first: "We have heard about repeated research. We have also met with our brother units and verbally reached a basic consensus. Is there any problem with the exchange? Please rest assured, Mr. Wen."
"
"There is no problem with the policy of concentrating our efforts on big things. In the future, I will lead the relevant responsible units to jointly formulate a more formal plan. The support for Bolang will also be made clear through documents."
Wen Liang is not satisfied with this: "We hope that in some specific industries, we can organize enough power as soon as possible to carry out backup replacement actual testing... In this regard, I will express my position on behalf of Bolang. We will set up a special team, and the first batch of allocations will not be less than
10 billion in special funds to carry out violent attempts."
"On the other hand, we hope that capable universities and research units, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Military Sciences, can fully participate and take advantage of America's deep public scandal to concentrate on some basic research on necessary information technology.
, strive to reach the most advanced level in some subdivisions and set new standards."
"For example, in the long term, the classic von Neumann architecture requires memory and computing to be separated, and memory bandwidth, power consumption, and speed are difficult to break through. Perhaps with the explosion of demand for ultra-large amounts of computing power, this kind of
The architecture will slowly be reformed... We cannot always follow the West and pick up the slack."
"According to in-depth research by relevant researchers at Bolang Lab and public knowledge in the industry, the electronic flow formed by data consumes a large amount of energy, most in the network, on the motherboard, and even in the bus. Over time,
More and more people are seeing the high cost of traditional general-purpose processors and von Neumann architectures... The world is almost at the same starting point for innovations in this type of area. Researchers at Bolang Lab believe that 3D
SoC integrating central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), neural network processor (NPU) and programmable logic chip (FPGA) may be a future direction..."
“In addition, the relevant exact standards for the Internet of Things (IoT) industry that has gradually emerged...including specific standards for industrial automation design (edge computing) and other aspects, the global starting lines are similar. With the breadth of the Chinese market and the huge number of measured samples,
As long as the relevant links are loosened, Bolang has the ability to guide better digital upgrading of the industrial industry."
The old man felt that his mind was a little hard to turn around: "...speak slowly."
"I have already formed a document. Mr. Miao does not need to pay attention to the professional content." Wen Liang said calmly, "What I mean is that Prism has brought China the most unimaginable opportunities in the field of industry and information technology. How to use them and how to implement them
, it is up to you, Mr. Miao, to find a solution, including but not limited to coordination in terms of funding, research direction, research resources, etc."
The old man nodded slightly: "I understand what you mean. This is a rare opportunity. Bolang has the ability to take the lead, but Bolang cannot conquer the world, and he doesn't have that much capital."
"Yes." Wen Liang agreed.
Lao Miaotou thought for a moment and gave the answer: "I will initiate relevant meetings in the near future. If I and Gongxin need to coordinate, please don't worry, Mr. Wen."
Wen Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
The relevant information is not only compiled by Bolang Laboratory, but also more cutting-edge thinking brought by Wen Liang from later generations.
In later generations, with the explosion of IoT, machine learning has entered various fields, and new concepts are constantly emerging. However, humans have not yet formed a unified theory on how to meet the explosion in demand for ultra-large amounts of computing power. There are only similar attempts.
.
Specific manifestations include but are not limited to NVIDIA's desire to acquire ARM.
AMD acquired Xilinx, the world's largest programmable logic chip manufacturer, for US$35 billion in 2020.
As early as 2015, Intel spent US$16.7 billion to acquire Altera, the world's leader in system-on-programmable chip (SOPC) solutions.
A big X·PU battle has started at a level that the public doesn’t know much about.
To put it bluntly, the main focus of the domestic environment at that time was real estate, and the public's focus was on how the controlled Ju Factory could use 5G for 4G mobile phones.
…………
When Lao Miao noticed that Wen Liang was relieved and wanted to follow suit, Wen Liang directly proposed something new: "Bolang is building 10 super large factories across the country to realize industrial automation based on the existing domestic industrial base.
It’s a very difficult thing... Bolang is not considering high automation for the time being.”
"We hope that relevant units, including the Industry and Information Technology Corporation, can conduct in-depth research, consider reasonably reducing the costs of industrial enterprises, and respect the labor force of workers through legislation and other means... Although our country is a country with a large labor force, I still believe that the labor force is the most important
They need to be respected, and their salary needs to be fully respected."
"Because this is a matter involving an entire industry, Bolang is powerless."
"I personally think that it is very dangerous and ironic to continue to implement no bottom line, connivance and no lower limit to reduce workers' welfare benefits to reduce costs and obtain competitive advantages. The success of the Xinghai brand is the most striking example of this approach."
"I hope Mr. Miao can fully listen to opinions from all sides."
The old man who originally wanted to take a sip of tea had to put down his tea cup, glanced at Wen Liang, and said helplessly: "Why is your business-like attitude even more sharp?"
"Whether you want to hear it or not..." Wen Liang muttered, and then said seriously, "Official affairs require a public heart, and sharpness is just a form of expression. Mr. Miao, he is in his position to pursue his own affairs."
The old man pretended not to hear the first half of the sentence and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your reasonable opinion. The Industry and Information Technology Council and I will conduct a full investigation."
"Industrial upgrading is a big project, and with an excellent company like Bolang taking the lead, we will not easily waste such a hard-won good situation!"
So, Wen Liang stretched out his hands and forcibly held Lao Miao's free right hand: "Thank you very much, Mr. Miao, for your support and understanding of me and Bolang."
Lao Miaotou: "..."
…
Before noon, in front of the office building, Wen Liang shook hands with Lao Miaotou and others one by one and said goodbye with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Mr. Miao, for taking time out of your busy schedule to support Bolang's work."
"With the guidance and support of Industry and Information Technology, Bolang will surely have stronger action capabilities."
Lao Miaotou: "..."
This was the first time today that he was speechless.
…………
…………
The influence brought by Wen Liang's formal and open visit to Gongxin was not limited to Gongxin, but soon spread to related industries.
Senior executives of relevant companies, including Zhongxing Juchang and others, have discussed this.
It also includes units such as Xiaogaoliang in the mobile phone industry.
Wen Liang, who was in the capital, did not take any time off. After going to the Industrial and Information Technology Center, he did not go out again. Instead, he stayed in the hotel to familiarize himself with the detailed information compiled and submitted by Li Xia.
Lixia was not allowed to make an appointment to visit Lao Pingtou through official channels.
Although even Lee Ka-shing, who is far away in Hong Kong and is doing things here and there, can go straight into the red wall, the current President Wen can certainly also take the initiative to make such a request. After all, the actual value of the assets held by Wen Liang is more outstanding.
Wen Liang waited patiently for Lao Pingtou and the others to take the initiative.
He knew very well that what he had discussed with Lao Miaotou through official means could not be concealed from all aspects, and it was even more impossible not to fall into it.
This is also true.
Wen Liang was not made to wait long.
At 11 o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, the 26th, Wen Liang sat in the Mercedes-Benz that Bolang was stationed in Beijing, guided by a Passat, and drove straight into the red wall on the right side of the mansion.
The location is still in a courtyard used for offices.
And the person who appeared at about the same time was not only Lao Pingtou, but also another Lao Litou.
Wen Liang's face was calm, and he looked unfazed.
A little pleasantries.
"Xiao Wen, this is our first meeting."
"This is our first meeting, please take care of me."
At this level, Wen Liang, who always likes to call grandpa, rarely climbed up the pole this time, and every move was very formal.
Administrative Lao Li was the first to talk about business: "Xiao Wen, we have already read your proposed diversified response to the complex scientific and technological development. It is very good. There is probably something we can add."
The boss naturally hopes to hear new additions when he says this, and Wen Liang certainly understands this.
However, Wen Liang, who had been prepared for a long time, thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "Barely not. It's completely blank now. What I can add is just nonsense. I don't understand more professional directions."
"Oh?" Executive Li was not surprised. He just said, "I saw a report beforehand and heard that Bolang has made some useful attempts and explorations in the public ownership of production materials, which has helped reduce industrial costs and improve workers' benefits.
, do you have any specific ideas?”
Wen Liang said truthfully: "No, Bolang's solution is as simple as the essence of the problem. It can increase the added value of the brand and create more profits for distribution to workers when the cost cannot be reduced."
Executive Lao Li asked some questions in succession.
Wen Liangdu gave the simplest and most straightforward answer.
The business-like attitude is very obvious.
No pandering at all.
Zhong Wenliang also presented some data, such as the completion of Bolang's ten major factories, which will directly create more than one million jobs.
For example, Bolang Group will directly provide a total of more than 1.25 million jobs after the construction of Bolang's ten major factories.
For example, the Star System Platform will indirectly create more than two million computer development jobs.
For example, Star Semiconductor will indirectly create more than 20 million new jobs after the completion of its ten major factories.
These indirect positions are supported by data and model analysis.
The coverage of the Xingchen system platform will definitely exceed that of Apple’s App
Store, and App
Store has indirectly supported nearly one million jobs in the country, and in the 2020s, this number will become 2 million.
Apple's domestic supply chain also indirectly supports one to two million jobs. In the 2020s, this number will become more than 3 million.
Bolang's goal in consumer electronics and other fields is to rely entirely on the domestic industrial chain to solve all downstream outputs, with a wider scope and volume.
After receiving answers from all parties, the executive Mr. Li stood up and left the room.
Lao Pingtou glanced at Wen Liang, smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "You have a sharper point of view than last time."
Wen Liang did not deny it and nodded: "About real estate, about industry, about information technology, about prism, about academic circles, about the education system..."
At this point, Wen Liang himself concluded: "In the final analysis, everything is real estate."
"The things it binds scare me, and I'm afraid that everything that my partners and I try our best to adapt to the waves created by the times will be meaningless."
"I'm afraid that my ideal will be worthless after I achieve it."
Lao Pingtou nodded gently: "I understand that some historical issues and related contradictions have become increasingly prominent. Do you have any good ideas?"
"Some are more unrealistic." Wen Liang answered honestly.
Seeing Lao Pingtou make a gesture, Wen Liang talked eloquently: "The think tank takes the province as a unit to provide a targeted new industry-oriented development plan, paying equal attention to transformation and industrial upgrading, focusing on the bottom layer, especially the bottom layer outside the system. The most important thing is not to
I have no choice but to live at the bottom of the city."
Lao Pingtou confirmed: "Are you referring to ordinary college students?"
Wen Liang did not answer directly, but said something: "To borrow lines from some entertainment works, suffering is suffering. Suffering will not bring success and is not worth pursuing. The reason for tempering one's will is that suffering cannot be avoided."
“How much of the hardships and sufferings of poor people should we use as inspirational stories to glorify them?”
"If criticism is not free, praise is meaningless."
"I have never thought about taking money from the poor. Whoever has money will earn it..."
After finishing a series of lines, Wen Liang turned to say: "I founded a legendary company like Bolang at a young age, and I am already on the road to building a complete industrial chain system. There must be something to draw from. I
I really don’t want us to be more Western than the West.”
Old Pingtou was silent for a while, and finally said: "I understand what you mean."
"Thank you, Grandpa Ping, for leaving me some room." Wen Liang thanked him seriously, "I won't disturb your work."
Of course he knew that his sharper stance and attitude would flow into Lao Pingtou's ears after having a private chat with Lao Miaotou.
Since Lao Pingtou left him room for maneuver, there was no need to emphasize it again.

PS: Please take a leave and have a good rest on the 30th and 31st. There will be no updates. This month’s updates are really annoying. Only 100,000 words have been updated in total. Normal updates will resume from August, at least 6,000 words per day, one update.
Or two updates, depending on the plot.
PS1: I actually understand that some things can be written or not, but...it’s rare to create a book with such a purpose, and it’s a pity not to write this book. Now that I have written this book, I have understood that I am indeed very proud of myself.
However, creation is a very personal and selfish thing...
