Technology company, I will become the light of China!

After leaving the information and communication laboratory, Chen Xing moved to the chip laboratory floor and went straight to Gao Zhengqian's exclusive laboratory.

However, at this time, Gao Zhengqian was discussing the development of ternary EDA chip design software with the heads of several laboratories.

Those who are familiar with chip design know that EDA chip design software is an indispensable and most important tool for chip design.

Why is it important?
It's very simple. EDA chip design software can modularly design the internal circuits of the chip in a building block manner.

If there were no EDA chip design software, it would be impossible to design a chip with tens of billions of transistors inside by hand drawing. It would have to rely on EDA chip design software and modularization to speed up the construction.

"Ternary EDA chip design software programming requires communication with the chip foundry first to confirm the basic characteristic information of basic devices or logic units such as transistors, MOS tubes, resistors and capacitors. Only after multiple parties confirm the agreement can the programming design be started."

As soon as Sun Yin finished speaking, he quickly added, "By the way, running ternary EDA chip design software requires a ternary computer. I think the most urgent task is to solve the equipment problem as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Wang Baiming, who was in charge of developing the ternary computer, quickly responded, "I have arranged for people to build the foundation. It is estimated that a prototype of the ternary computer will be available in about six months."

"Will programming be faster if we modify it based on binary computers?"

Gao Zhengqian asked.

"This requires contacting the programming team of the Tianxuan operating system. In addition, we also need to redesign the computer hardware. Binary hardware is not suitable for ternary system." Wang Baiming looked at Gao Zhengqian and responded.

"We are responsible for programming the Tianxuan operating system. If we want to design a ternary computer, we have to start over with the operating system."

Pei Wei spoke up to express his opinion.

As the chief of the operating system R&D team, although he had never been exposed to ternary system, the code logic they designed was all for binary system, and it was almost impossible to make changes based on binary system.

"In that case, we can only spend time solving the programming problem of the ternary computer." Gao Zhengqian said, and then looked at Lin Tiandao who was playing with his mobile phone in the corner of the meeting room:
"Chief Lin, you have heard that the ternary EDA chip design software programming requires communication with the chip foundry first to confirm the basic characteristic information of basic devices or logic units such as transistors, MOS tubes, resistors and capacitors."

"That's easy." Lin Tian put down his phone, looked up at Gao Zhengqian and said, "You set the standards, and our chip factory will implement them. As long as you can design it, I can produce it. It's that simple."

"you sure?"

Gao Zhengqian frowned secretly. He always felt that Lin Tian was unreliable, but he never made any mistakes.

“As long as you can design it, I can find a way to produce it. It’s that simple.” When this was said, the other engineers in the conference room all looked surprised.

Crazy, so crazy!
But they have the ability, there is nothing we can do.

They all knew more or less about the lithography factory, which was a super chip foundry built under the personal command of the yellow-haired man in front of them.

If he made the guarantee, then maybe he wasn't exaggerating.

"Yes, yes, I am sure of it. You just need to give me the chip circuit design and I will find a way to make it. That's it. You guys chat. I have something else to do."

Lin Tian stood up and clicked on the WeChat voice message without any hesitation.

next second.

A loli voice was heard.

"Brother Lin, are you coming over to play tonight? The restaurant has been closed for the past few days. If no one comes to reserve a table for drinks, I'll be fired."

"Wait for me, Xiaomei. I'll be there soon."

While Lin Tian was replying to the message in public, he opened the door of the conference room. Suddenly, a familiar figure stood in front of him. He didn't care and continued to click on the voice reply in the chat box.

"Thank you so much, Brother Lin Tian. Let's meet at our usual place. I will definitely help you shake a table full of girls to play with you tonight."

"Let's go for a drink?"

"Yes, the main purpose is to help the poor. I have a kind heart and I can't bear to see girls without money to spend."

As Lin Tianxia subconsciously responded, he suddenly felt that the voice was a little familiar. The moment he looked up, he immediately took a few steps back, touched his nose with a little embarrassment and said, "What a coincidence, President?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone who was still in the meeting room stood up.

"President."

"President."

Everyone looked towards the door.

Chen Xing nodded and looked at Lin Tiandao, "It's getting late. Go and get busy first. Watch out for honey traps."

He did not impose too many restrictions on these top scientific research talents.

They can do whatever they like, and he won't care as long as it doesn't violate the law. After all, everyone has their own life and they are not robots.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Tian coughed awkwardly twice, and quickly said, "No hurry, no hurry, the show doesn't start until nine o'clock, there are still four or five hours left. President, do you have anything to talk to us about?"

"Well, I have something to tell you." Chen Xing responded as he walked into the conference room calmly. Gao Zhengqian was about to offer his seat, but Chen Xing stopped him and said, "I won't sit down. I came here to learn about the research and development progress of the ternary chip and Fuxi project."

Gao Zhengqian paused, quickly organized his thoughts, and responded, "At present, we are still at the stage of programming the ternary computer system."

As if afraid that Chen Xing didn't understand, he explained: "Because the ternary EDA chip design software needs a ternary computer to run, the binary computers we are using now can't run it, so we need to develop a ternary computer first, and then use it to run the ternary EDA chip design software, and then use the ternary EDA chip software to design the Fuxi chip."

Although Gao Zhengqian's explanation was very confusing, Chen Xing still understood it.

If you want to design a ternary Fuxi chip, you need to use ternary EDA chip design software, and ternary EDA chip design software needs to be run on a ternary computer, so the ternary project is still in its initial stage.

"Then my trip was not in vain." Chen Xing heard that they had to develop a ternary computer system first, and talked about the achievements of the Jiuzhou Ai Laboratory:
"This morning, Kyushu Ai Laboratory sent me a message saying that artificial intelligence has reached the initial commercial level, and it is just right to use it to design a ternary computer system."

“Programming with artificial intelligence?”

Wang Baiming was stunned.

Does it know what ternary system is?

He is skeptical now.

"Will this work?" Gao Zhengqian was also confused. He thought Chen Xing was bragging and trying to fool those foreigners, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to use artificial intelligence for computer programming?
At the "5G Network International Negotiation Conference", Chen Xing once put forward the concept of artificial intelligence, in which he talked about how intelligent AI will replace copywriters, painters and programmers in the future.

Many people actually accept that the professions of copywriter and painter will be replaced because the things involved are not complicated.

Take relatively complex painters as an example. Their basic skills are composition and the use of colors. As for creativity, artificial intelligence can fully use big data to search for similar works for analysis, and then create through its own thinking model.

There is basically no controversy about these two professions being replaced.

However, programmers are different. In addition to typing code, programmers also have to make complex design decisions, solve nonlinear problems, and perform innovative programming.

If artificial intelligence can really replace programmers in typing code, without considering the unemployment rate, Internet companies will definitely introduce intelligent AI in large quantities to replace manual labor.

Why replace manual labor?

very real problem.

Labor costs and risk costs.

Labor costs are easy to understand, they are wages and benefits.

The risk cost is unexpected accidents, such as sudden death, accidents on the way to or from get off work, etc. Artificial intelligence can avoid this part of the risk very well.

Facing Gao Zhengqian's question, Chen Xing did not answer. Instead, he took out his phone, opened WeChat, found Gao Zhengqian's WeChat ID, and sent a contact card:
"To be honest, I don't know if it can be completely replaced, but artificial intelligence is always helpful for computer programming. I've sent you the WeChat of the person in charge of Jiuzhou Ai."

"okay."

Gao Zhengqian nodded slightly.

"Since you are still in the meeting, I won't disturb you." Chen Xing tactfully prepared to leave, not wanting to waste their time.

"President, take care."

"Boss, let me take you there."

Everyone hurriedly got out of their seats and lined the road to see Chen Xing off.

After Chen Xing left, Gao Zhengqian looked at Wang Baiming and said, "Can we really use artificial intelligence to program a ternary computer system?"

"Don't tell me, it's really possible."

Pei Wei suddenly spoke.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him, wanting to hear his opinion.

“Automatic code generation may still be some way off, but intelligence does a great job in optimization and assisting with writing.”

“Have you used it?”

Wang Baiming asked quickly.

"I have used it, but it is not artificial intelligence, but a programming assistance tool developed by Mr. Jiang Ce. It can automatically optimize existing codes and provide programming suggestions. This is an intelligent program developed based on his own experience."

Pei Wei gave the reason.

Originally, the development of "The Chosen Operating System" was not completed so quickly. It was because Jiang Ce provided convenient tools that they were able to exceed the task and also developed the PC version.

The most amazing thing about the programming tool developed by Jiangce is that it can realize functions such as code translation and automatic comment writing.

What is the concept?
Lei Jun's code was once praised as being as beautiful as poetry.

Now anyone can write code as poetry, and with comments, even novice programmers can understand the code.

"If that's the case, then we need to contact them right away and ask them to give us a complete set of AI tools."

Wang Baiming couldn't wait any longer.

Although he is well aware that artificial intelligence at this stage cannot completely replace human labor, who wouldn’t like to increase the speed?

Take driverless cars for example. Who can resist the experience of falling asleep in the car and arriving at the destination when they wake up?

"I'll contact them now." Gao Zhengqian responded and immediately added the other party's WeChat, then stated his identity and purpose in the remarks column.

……

And at the same time.

the other side.

Shenzhen, Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Administration. The FSA Financial Department of the island country did not return home in disgrace after being blocked from entering the country. Instead, it directly visited the Foreign Trade Administration of Shenzhen.

As a special economic zone, Shenzhen is home to many foreign investors.

Perhaps many people do not know what special economic zones mean, nor do they know why special economic zones can attract foreign investment.

To put it simply, the special economic zones have special support in the form of tariff reductions and exemptions compared to other cities.

To give another example, suppose you are the CEO of a foreign-funded enterprise and your products are very popular in Longguo. You want to deeply develop the Longguo market and establish a corporate branch in Longguo.

At this time, you will be faced with the choice of choosing an ordinary city or a special economic zone.

If you choose the former, not only will you have to invest more money, but you will also need layers of approval to get things done, which is inefficient. If you settle in the latter, not only will you enjoy corresponding tax exemptions, but you will also only need the approval of the SAR leadership to get things done, which is extremely convenient and fast. Which one would you choose?
obviously.

The special economic zones are almost a complete victory.

This is also why, after becoming a special economic zone, Shenzhen quickly transformed from a barren land into the fourth city in Dragon Country.

Of course, the rise of Shenzhen is not only due to the special economic zone, but also to the support of the big brother Guangzhou. It is Guangzhou that guided the economic injection from the Greater Bay Area and helped it take off and develop.

At this time, the Director of the Foreign Trade Administration, Duan Peifu, looked at Qi Tengjing with a worried look on his face and sighed, "Chairman Qi, you are making things difficult for me. Chen Xing is out on business, and I can't call him back."

"Director Duan, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to embarrass you, but Chen Xing is at the headquarters of Longxing Group, and I have something very important to discuss with him. I want you to act as a bridge, and I hope you can help me."

Saitoi's attitude is very tough.

He has his own capital chips to be able to be so tough.

Because the Dragon Country and the island country are close to each other, and the latter is a major high-end manufacturing country, the former is relatively dependent on the latter's high-end industrial assistance.

Take automobiles for example. Many domestic companies do not have the qualifications to manufacture cars independently and need to rely on foreign companies to complete car manufacturing.

In addition to car manufacturing, Dragon Country's high-end industries are inseparable from the island country.

This is also why there are Japanese schools in many cities in Longguo, the purpose of which is to train senior executives of Japanese companies who are stationed in Longguo.

"How about you wait two days?"

Duan Peifu was still trying to smooth things over.

Now he can't afford to offend either side. On one side is Shenzhen's rising star, the leader of Longguo's technology companies, Longxing Group.

On the other side is the island nation's FSA, which has trillions of dollars in investments in Shenzhen and controls the decision-making power of a large number of Japanese companies.

How to choose?

How to choose?

Duan Peifu thought for half a minute. This situation was no longer something he could try to smooth over, so he could only call his superiors for advice.

The reason is very simple. Due to the US interest rate hike, a large amount of Western foreign capital has withdrawn from Shenzhen, and the unemployment rate has soared from 12.4% to 21.7%. If Japanese companies also fled, the estimate would be as high as 30%. This is just a conservative estimate and does not take into account the chain reaction.

"Wait a moment, I'll make a call." Duan Peifu picked up the phone and walked out.

Saito I didn't say anything more. He picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and waited for the result.

The most important reason why he can be so confident is that the FSA Financial Services Agency has the final say in the island country's financial investment. In the tide of US dollar interest rate hikes, he is also certain that Duan Peifu will compromise.

Duan Peifu came to the office corridor, found a corner, called his superior, and briefly recounted what had happened.

There was silence at first, and then a response came from the other end of the phone: "Keep him steady first, I'll call the higher-ups to ask, we have to find a balance in this matter, otherwise the responsibility will be huge."

"I think so."

Duan Peifu responded.

Now everyone knows that under the impact of the US dollar tide, foreign capital is flowing out of countries around the world crazily and pouring into the United States to earn interest.

How much foreign investment can be retained and how much international capital can be attracted to return has become the key to winning this protracted war.

The news was reported up the chain of command, and no one in Shenzhen's leadership dared to make a decision easily. Eventually, the news reached Wang Shan's ears.

"Zhang Jinzong, what did you say? Someone from the island country's FSA Financial Department specifically asked to see Chen Xing?"

Wang Shan was originally thinking of returning to the capital, but he didn't expect his old comrade-in-arms to call him and tell him such a thing.

"Yeah, I heard from them that the problem could be big or small. Now they just want to see Chen Xing, but Chen Xing doesn't seem to want to see them. We are stuck in the middle, which is a bit difficult to deal with."

Zhang Jinzong sighed.

"These little bastards want us to put pressure on Chen Xing and force a dinner party." Wang Shan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He has never had a good impression of the island country bastards. If Japanese companies could not help the economic development of Longguo, he would have driven them away long ago.

"Now what?"

Zhang Jinzong was at a loss.

Most of the foreign-funded enterprises in Dragon Country have withdrawn and the unemployment rate has soared. If the island country's FSA Financial Services Agency does not get a satisfactory response, Japanese companies may also leave Dragon Country.

"Keep him calm first. I'll call Chen Xing to ask what's going on." Wang Shan also treated this issue seriously and did not make a hasty decision.

"Okay, Brother Wang, I'll wait for your reply."

"Well, hang up the phone."

"Row."

When the call was hung up, Wang Shan cursed: "You little bastards, I will be the first to kick you out when we realize the high-end industrial closed loop."

After venting his anger, he found Chen Xing’s phone number and called him.

"Dududu-"

After several busy tones, Chen Xing's youthful and steady voice came out again.

"The old leader called me. Could it be that the list of pillar enterprises has been finalized?"

Chen Xing didn't think that Wang Shan would chat with him, so he directly guessed that the matter discussed early last night had come to a conclusion.

"Ah."

Wang Shan did not rush to get to the point, but responded to Chen Xing: "Just as you said last night, we need to put all the potential technology companies into the list. Preliminary statistics show that there are 28 companies, which just correspond to the twenty-eight constellations."

“Good meaning.”

Chen Xing responded with a smile.

Those who are familiar with Longguo culture know that the Twenty-Eight Constellations are twenty-eight star regions divided by ancient Longguo astronomers in order to observe the movements of the sun, moon, and five planets.

As long as you are a Dragon Citizen, you basically know the regional divisions of the Eastern Azure Dragon, Southern Vermillion Bird, Western White Tiger, and Northern Black Tortoise.

The Azure Dragon in the East, the Vermillion Bird in the South, the White Tiger in the West and the Black Tortoise in the North are all made up of seven stars, and the seven stars in the four directions make up the twenty-eight constellations.

It just happens that 28 companies have been assembled, corresponding to the twenty-eight constellations, which shows how much hope Wang Shan has placed on building the Dragon Country capital market.

"You think it's a good idea, right? I've contacted the people in Formosa and will go over tonight to discuss the stock market with them."

"Then I wish the old commander a successful start and hope he can bring back good news."

"It's natural."

The two chatted with each other for about five minutes, and Wang Shan finally got to the point and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. Shenzhen City said that the chairman of the FSA Financial Department of the island country has come, and he also called your name and wanted to sit down and talk about something. Do you think it is convenient?"

"Harmful."

Chen Xing sighed.

He knew that the little bastards in the island country's FSA Financial Agency would not give up. Now the Longxing Group was forcing their stock market into a desperate situation. If they didn't sit down and negotiate, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But will Chen Xing negotiate?
He had finally broken through layer after layer of protection and was about to reap the fruits of victory. It was impossible to stop now.

"Old Chief, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. If I go, the result will be the same. Nikkei 225 must be broken." Chen Xing explained while expressing his opinion:

"My reason is very simple. Now that the U.S. dollar interest rate is rising, countries around the world are affected. The Nikkei 225 index has reached a very low point and is on the verge of collapse and restructuring."

"We are not short of technology, but high-end equipment, while Japanese companies are just the opposite. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to short sell a lot and then buy, thereby controlling a large number of Japanese companies, then Longguo's high-end manufacturing industry can save at least 20 years of journey."

"..."

Wang Shan was silent for a long time.

He found himself a frog in a well.

He originally thought that Chen Xing wanted to smash the Nikkei 225 Index for money, but he didn't expect that the other party was disdainful of such things and wanted to seize power in Japanese companies.

This is like the Asian financial crisis in 1997, when Wall Street capital swept across Asia and injected large amounts of capital into a large number of companies on the peninsula and island countries.

Hanxing Group, one of the world's top 50 companies, has nearly 85% of its equity and shares controlled by Wall Street capital. It looks glamorous, but in fact it is just a blood transfusion package.

"are you serious?"

Wang Shan's tone suddenly became serious.

Now he understood what Chen Xing said, there was no room for negotiation on this matter, and the direct consequence might be the large-scale withdrawal of Japanese companies.

"Yes, I think we have the right time, right place, and right people. If we don't act now, we will never have the chance to act in the future."

Chen Xinggang finished speaking and added: "Once we have completed the seizure of power from Japanese companies, I believe our high-end manufacturing industry will advance by leaps and bounds, and it will be no problem for us to catch up with the West."

"it is good!"

Wang Shan was somewhat tempted. He was not an indecisive person and he always believed that there is no construction without destruction.

If Japanese companies choose to withdraw their investments in resistance, then it will depend on who can survive first.

After all, the Dragon Country market is a supermarket with a population of 13 billion, and will soon be 14 billion. If Japanese companies insist on withdrawing, then domestic companies will likely see a mushrooming growth.

He is gambling now. He is gambling that what Chen Xing said can be realized. He is also gambling that Japanese companies cannot do without the Longguo supermarket.
