Please make money.

And she is his wife in need. When she married him, Mr. Huo had not yet become successful, and the first wife has always been by his side.

Now that I'm older, I'm recuperating in the south and no longer follow him around.

The second wife was his first love. She was multi-talented and a very famous talented woman. The two met in the business world.

This person is the one who usually attends various activities with Boss Huo.

Theoretically, if you buy Cantonese opera gold discs on the market and listen to songs like "Su San's Farewell" and "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", you can also buy the works of this second wife back then.

There is also a third wife, who was Mr. Huo’s confidante and is also a fan of Cantonese opera and Cantonese songs.

I can only say that the boss was a bit romantic back then...

But these are just small matters. When the group entered the villa where Boss Huo lived, they found that there were guests inside.

"Old Chen - you are in for a treat today!"

Boss Huo clapped his hands and said, "Knowing that you are here today, Ai Yatou didn't say anything and directly brought a sheep over. Mutton soup will warm your body and stomach!"

Doing business requires human relationships and worldly wisdom. Mr. Huo is at such a high level that he can make Xiao Ai behave cute and obedient with just one sentence.

Mr. Chen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled with satisfaction: "It's hard for Miss Ai to find out about my hobbies..."

Mr. Chen's mother is from the north. It is well known that the family's eating environment is greatly influenced by the mother. Compared with fresh seafood, Mr. Chen does prefer northern dishes.

But besides Mr. Chen, there was another person whom Alia didn't know.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Professor Wei who is here to pay New Year's greetings today."

"Hello, Professor Wei, you look really young."

"He is indeed very young. His mathematics teacher is a registered disciple of Mr. Yang Zhenning. So he can be considered half of Mr. Yang's registered disciple."

“Oh—disrespect, disrespect!”

After chatting with the other party for a few sentences, Alia found out that he was studying physics, and she was immediately amazed.

It’s amazing. Even those who can’t understand it are amazing.

In addition, Mr. Chen does have connections in the academic world. It is said that Professor Wei had just transferred back from the University of Colorado, and the first thing he did was to visit Mr. Chen.

The food was still being cooked, so everyone sat down and chatted.

Lele had no money to buy fruit so he tied a sheep and sat next to them, eating the fruit with a crunch.

In the meantime, she went out for a stroll and met two of her colleagues - real Taiye Chi bodyguards, the kind with guns.

Lele shrank his neck and hid away from the full attention of these two seniors...

"Miss Ai is doing industrial business?"

"Yes, it's a small business. I can't compete with Grandpa Huo and Grandpa Chen. I just open a supermarket and make chips."

"…Supermarket? Chips?"

The gap between these two things is so huge that Professor Wei couldn't figure out what the connection was for a while.

"Well, speaking of which, girl, how is the progress of your chip research institute?"

Alia wanted to say that they had mastered the 14nm+++++ production technology, but Mr. Chen waved his hand and said, "Hey, you only know how to talk about business during the New Year!"

Mr. Huo was peeling an orange. When he looked up and saw Professor Wei, he smiled and said, "Come, eat an orange. Don't be shy. I like dealing with intellectuals the most."

If we really talk about his background, Boss Huo definitely came from a poor family. He was a boatman and ran a fishing boat, and then built up his current family business.

In comparison, Mr. Chen can be said to be from a family of scholars and they are even cousins ​​of the Qian family of Wu Yue.

Alia also changed the subject, not talking about the specific progress, but just talking about the development plan -

"I plan to talk to Tianhai officials about the high-tech industrial park after the Chinese New Year. The first phase of supporting construction costs tens of billions of dollars. Don't waste it."

"But you need a market for this. Just spending so much money on research..."

"It doesn't matter. I can still burn some steam for a while. I must ensure that within three years, I can fully establish the industrial chain that I can control."

The three years is based on the premise that the electronic business department of the Ai Group will ship products, especially the Amy SE1.

This phone, numbered 1S, priced at 700 yuan and with iterative identification code SE1, has currently shipped nearly million units.

Alia repeatedly overestimated its sales volume, but she did not expect that it would be so strong after opening up the Sakura market.

Come to think of it, the money of Chongqing consumers does not come from the wind, and they can make a living in the sinking market everywhere.

What's more, Sakura's telecommunications business halls sell phone calls in bundled packages, so this phone is essentially free.

Both are free, so what's the point of choosing between a flip phone and a smartphone?

The marketing department even estimated that during its life cycle, it could reach 200 million shipments.

This means at least three years of semi-monopoly period of market competition, which will allow Alia to develop its own chips, screens, foundry production lines, etc.

This huge existing market can also ensure that AOS system software developers have a certain market size.

It can only be said that the super BUFF of integrated industrial chain was used to the fullest extent by Alia, and she reaped the benefits.

Lei Jun in another world line was not so lucky. Although Xiaomi was also a product of industrial chain integration, its early products were basically scraps that he had to beg for help from everyone. The platform on which Alia started was indeed much higher than that of Xiaomi.

The two bosses seemed to be thinking about something, and did not refute Alia's paranoid mentality about the "three-year period".

From the very beginning, Alia always felt like someone was trying to harm her, and she wanted to do everything in advance.

This is true for careers, for people, and for natural disasters...

But among the people present, some seemed to have different opinions.

"Miss Ai, from what I hear, you want to do all the independent research and development?"

"Yes, that's the plan. Does Professor Wei have any friends in this field?"

Ailia's eyes lit up. Could she possibly meet some talented people today?

Engineer Chen alone can lead his team to skip 20nm and 16nm and directly tackle 14nm. If there are more such geniuses...

"I think this is a wrong perception." Professor Wei pushed his glasses.

"...Huh? Misperception?"

“The misperception is that we should be independent and self-reliant.”

Alia blinked and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Wei, I don't quite understand."

"Independence is a beautiful word. Everyone wants to be independent, especially when you are bullied outside."

"But the essence of independence is that I don't rely on anyone. This pursuit of not relying on others for everything is outdated in the era of globalization."

Professor Wei said: "The reality is that even Hezhong cannot be independent in terms of chip technology. They also rely on the lithography machines of the Netherlands, the silicon wafers of Chongqing, and the foundry manufacturing of our island province."

"What if, I mean what if, in the future everyone starts a chip war and the United Network officials strangle me?"

"Haha, first of all, Hezhong is a big country that values ​​commercial credit and the spirit of contract. There is no reason to do this to a small company. Secondly, the so-called chip war, Hezhong is holding you back - or to put it more broadly, holding Donghuang back, is precisely forcing Donghuang to be independent, which is a bad thing. In today's world, mutual dependence is a condition for survival, and being isolated is a form of suppression. Modernization has formed a global "circle". Only when people in the circle get all kinds of benefits and help from this circle and rely on each other can things be done. There is no future for being independent from the circle."

Ailia looked left and right. Boss Huo started peeling oranges again, while Mr. Chen lowered his head to drink tea. Both of them were very calm.

"Professor Wei, do you know anything about chips?"

"No, I'm not researching the chip industry. My major is physics, but I have an understanding of this world. I think you, Miss Ai, have three misconceptions. That was the first one. The other two are also the inertial thinking of us Donghuang people."

"……Appreciate further details."

"Second, any high-tech can be obtained by the method of 'stacking'."

"Is this—a problem?"

"Of course there are problems. We often accept without examination the idea that as long as you invest enough human and material resources, you can do anything that others can do. Since others can make high-end chips, as long as the leaders pay attention, the government supports, and we invest money regardless of the cost, we can also make chips, right?"

“Yes, the process may be tortuous, but the path is roughly like this.”

"I just think that this is wrong. This is very wrong. This can even be said to be the bad nature of our Donghuang——"

"..."

444: Alia: I think the extremists are still too mild

For three seconds, Arya suspected that the other party was pretending to be loyal.

He is pretending to be a banana man, but in fact he is a mole planted in the past, and he only uses such words and deeds to cover up his loyalty.

But after three seconds, Alia felt that it was really unnecessary.

There's really no need: this isn't outside.

What place is this? Boss Huo's home!

What kind of person is Boss Huo, and what kind of person is Mr. Chen?

In terms of career, these two are also the leading figures in Donghuang's business community today.

In terms of his special identity, Mr. Chen is a recognized link between Donghuang’s business and academic circles.

Not to mention Boss Huo, who is at the vice-state level - the level of the head of state - and has only two top security personnel of official background guarding the door.

Let’s put it this way, the two seniors of Lele outside ignored her only because she was a junior colleague.

If someone else came, like Lele, and picked him up and shook off all the small parts on his body, then collapsing first and asking questions later would be the least of his worries.

What else? You're wearing a thing that weighs in kilograms, and you're sitting next to the head of state?

What Alia is doing now and the reputation she has now, Boss Huo already had it decades ago.

Ailia, this is just disaster relief. Back then, Boss Huo transported military supplies under the blockade of naval guns in order to save the country.

Therefore, Professor Wei has no need to say weird things here to maintain his status.

In front of these real big guys, there is no need to speak sarcastically. It's not like Zhou Ji was telling the King of Qi to accept advice.

The only reason is that he really thinks so...

Combined with Mr. Chen's previous practice of interrupting Alia's self-narration and preventing her from revealing the specific research progress.

Hmm...so it was really an accident that this guy came here?

Arya lifted the teacup, weighing whether to smash the thing over his head or on his head.

"After all this talk, you still don't know Professor Wei's name?"

"Oh, my name is Wei Junjie, a man who knows the times is a wise man."

"I see—Professor Wei continued. I'm listening."

Alia suddenly calmed down. Really, this name gave people a sense of naturalness.

"Well, the problem of accumulation mentioned earlier actually has another problem, which is the threshold."

"threshold?"

"Yes, chips are a high-tech industry. Many things in the world are indeed "stacking", such as building a bridge or paving a road. As long as there are many people, it can always be done. But some things are "unstacking", such as Donghuang football."

What the hell, I can’t refute this example!

Ailia looked at Boss Huo with a pleading look, "Help me!"

The latter stuffed a slice of orange into his mouth, saw Alia's expression, looked at his own orange, and quickly put the whole piece into his mouth.

...No one is competing with you for the tangerines! Let's talk about football! Where's the football?

"Things that cannot be accumulated often require the creative thinking of high-level talents, complex environments, and opportunities that are hard to come by. Many people like to compare the chip war with China's previous development of nuclear weapons: both are high-tech. Donghuang was able to develop nuclear weapons before, so why can't it develop high-end chips now? Because nuclear weapons are actually a "simple" technology that can be accumulated!"

"Nuclear weapons can do it, and so can chips." Alia thought for a moment and said, "This example is meaningless."

"Look, Miss Ai, this is a misunderstanding. We lack talent, high-end talent. Unlike nuclear weapons, we don't need to consider commercial profits. When developing nuclear weapons, United already had ready-made successful experience. Everyone was more clear about the basic principles, and the research and development direction was very clear. The technical projects involved were very limited. Moreover, there is no need to consider commercial profits when developing nuclear weapons - as long as they can be made, it is enough to form a nuclear deterrent."

"..."

"To develop nuclear weapons, you only need a few of the smartest, non-stacking talents like Mr. Yu at the core, and hundreds of engineers and scientists who are good at calculations and can complete tasks according to their ideas. The rest are workers and soldiers, etc., who can be replaced. You can have as many as you want, and they can all be stacked."

"I am making chips, and I can also find such leading talents in key areas. I can just assign as many people as needed, isn't that possible?"

"What about the risks? Let's not talk about risks and disruptions. They are all pseudo-innovations. Even if I don't understand chip manufacturing, I know that this is not a single process. From design to production, from raw materials to lithography machines, each link requires such accumulation, one after another. How can you achieve miracles with great strength?"

Only then did Alia begin to understand this guy's thinking.

He actually knew that this thing could be "piled up", but he didn't admit it.

Because this matter is indeed as he said, there is no cost-effectiveness - commercial profitability and the deterrent effect created by nuclear bomb production are two different things.

"It is meaningless to spend 100 million yuan to make a chip. We must ensure large-scale manufacturing, guaranteed yield, guaranteed update speed, and guaranteed cheapness. To this end, we do not need a big project, but an entire ecosystem. Such a system can only be completed by the world's top technology companies. This is globalization."
