My Return to Life

Not a sunny morning.

In the thousands-square-meter laboratory brightened by lights, it did not appear chaotic due to inspection, but was still orderly.

Except for a few leading professors, most engineers still perform their duties and are absorbed in their work.

As early as the establishment of the laboratory, the recruitment threshold was set very high, and the overall quality of basic masters, doctors, and professors was good.

More importantly, there are relatively few administrative personnel, and they basically follow the inspection group and accept arrangements at any time.

It feels good to the inspection team.

Although Fang Nian knew that he had already inspected it, he quickly picked out a few key points.

"The development and testing team for the open market and the stable performance team for manufacturers are not very outstanding. They are nothing more than catching up step by step and narrowing the gap..."

"The energy is mainly concentrated on the pre-research team."

"..."

"This is a new project of the laboratory's pre-research team. The system integrates artificial intelligence and computer vision. It has already provided support through the establishment of a cross-research center established by the Frontier Academy in cooperation with major universities in Shanghai..."

"..."

"This is another functional module research and development team, mainly for some research on biometrics..."

"..."

"This is the entire workflow of Nuwa Lab:

The pre-research team conducts a lot of forward-looking research and development work, and some suitable functional features are handed over to the development and testing team for further advancement after they are relatively mature, and then pushed to the public market, and finally merged into a stable version..."

"..."

When Fang Nian talked eloquently, the inspection team didn't speak.

Including the leader Ping who offered to take another look.

After Fang Nian finished his conclusion, Miao Wei said in a deep voice, "Mr. Fang, I heard that your Nuwa Lab has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development funds within four months of its launch?"

"It is still in a serious state of making ends meet. What supports you to continue investing in research and development?"

Miao Wei's tone is flat, but the meaning can be said to be very sharp.

Even if it's just analyzing the surface, you can hear a little bit of doubt.

What kind of goal is Nuwa Lab operating with?

The reason for this overspending is obviously due to the huge expenditures on forward-looking research and development work.

The research and development work in no man's land is not necessarily effective, and the more realistic result is that it will be empty in all likelihood.

Why not plow into the detail modules that obviously have lagging behind?

If you analyze it in depth, Miao Wei's words can be understood as, does Frontier have other huge goals? Got some special ideas?

Facing Miao Wei's plain gaze, Fang Nian smiled slightly: "It's commercial interests."

"I think the Ministry of Miao may have misunderstood our frontier. Frontier is just a commercial company, and only those who lead the industry can eat meat."

At the end, Fang Young smiled and added: "Recent facts have proved that the commercial value brought by leadership is immeasurable. A negligible NYun has allowed the global users of the Nuwa system to exceed 5 million very quickly.

It reached 6 million last night. "

After listening to Fang Nian's words, Miao Wei didn't have much emotion, and said in a low voice: "Yes."

Seeing this, Fang Nian suddenly laughed twice: "It seems that Miaobu must have misunderstood me."

"How to say?" Miao Wei looked at Fang Nian with his hands behind his back, noncommittal.

Fang Nian said politely: "Whether it is Nuwa Lab or Frontier, there is no vision to benefit the country and the people, and even let me say it more bluntly, Frontier never thought of becoming a so-called conscientious enterprise;

I myself have never thought of becoming a conscientious entrepreneur. Since ancient times, businessmen have valued profits. Sorry, I am not that exception. "

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze all of a sudden.

The smiles on many people's faces disappeared immediately.

Especially Lu Weiyu frowned.

Shi Xinrong, who was surprised by Fang Nian's real identity, also frowned.

The only ones who didn't change their expressions were Leader Ping and one or two others.

Miao Wei was startled, stared at Fang Nian, and said word by word: "I've been taught!"

"I'm straightforward, please forgive Miaobu." Fang Nian bowed politely.

Miao Weilian said: "Mr. Fang is polite."

"..."

At this time, Leader Ping made a gesture and said kindly: "Mr. Fang, don't you invite us to sit in the conference room?"

Fang Nian was kind and kind, and smiled slightly: "Leaders, this way please."

"..."

There are many fewer people who can enter the meeting room.

Not even Shi Xinrong got involved.

There are only Fang Nian, Guan Qiuhe, and Lu Weiyu at the frontier, and only a few leaders including Miao Wei and Ping are the leaders inspecting.

After they were seated, tea was soon served, needless to say the complicated process in the middle.

After the door of the conference room was closed, Miao Wei spoke first: "Mr. Fang really taught me a good lesson. It really is young and promising!"

"Indeed, at the national level, there has never been any publicity or even expectation that private enterprises will develop in the direction of benefiting the country and the people. It only emphasizes that enterprises can take a certain amount of social responsibility in the process of development."

"Boss Fang, you are very good!"

When it came to the end, Miao Wei's tone was full of approval, even appreciation.

They have been in high positions for a long time, and they have listened too much.

Everyone can't wait to hear about the Tao and die in the evening.

I can't wait to get 10,000 names on my head, such as national enterprises, national enterprises, conscientious enterprises, excellent enterprises, honorary famous enterprises...

In fact, they are preoccupied with thinking about how to get the most benefit.

Whether it is consumer or various project subsidies.

Big bag.

Fang Nian's attitude is very clear, commercial companies are to make money, Frontier will never flaunt various names for itself.

Although it seems that Frontier has broken its heart in order to develop domestic basic technology, it is for the greater good.

Fang Nian expressed this very frankly in his words.

No reckless investment.

The ideal is the ideal, but it will not delay making money.

If there is no money to develop, what is the ideal amount of money per catty?

Facing Miao Wei's approving gaze, Fang Nian smiled and said, "Don't dare to be Miao Bu's false praise."

Did not explain much.

Explaining too much is not beautiful.

Fang Nian planned to hug his thighs, not simply catering to the inspection.

He wants to establish himself as an honest, responsible, down-to-earth, realistic, and real person, so as to gradually gain more favors.

But all of this has to be expressed without any purpose.

It was quite difficult at first, but Miao Wei made things difficult intentionally or unintentionally.

Fang Nian also had to clarify some things:

Nuwa Lab does so many things, and the central idea is to make a profit.

Like all normal commercial companies, it is only for commercial interests, and there is no such thing as a lofty ideal.

Anyway...

Now it is getting farther and farther away from Fang Nian's expectations.

After a brief chat, Miao Wei changed the subject: "The ministry is considering developing a number of nuclear high-tech projects recently, and the Nuwa system is also on the list. I wonder what the Nuwa laboratory is thinking?"

Hearing this, Fang Nian thought for a while: "Miaobu, to be honest, the Nuwa system doesn't need these, but..."

"I also don't resist being included in the nuclear high-level project."

Seeing this, Miao Wei suddenly reached out and nodded Fang Nian a few times: "Mr. Fang, if I didn't know your identity, age and experience, I would suspect that you have an old soul in your body. Are you a little too cautious?"

"Maybe because I read too many books and understand some superficial principles, I think that if you get something, you need to give something." Fang Nian answered honestly.

Lu Weiyu: "..."

'I believed Mr.'s nonsense. '

Guan Qiuhe: "!"

'Ugh……'

The two of them have gradually recollected this meeting, and based on their understanding of each other for years, there must be some conspiracy behind their behavior.

and……

The conspiracy is not small.

What's more obvious is that Fang Nian is obviously taking risks.

It's just that both of them don't understand, what more important interests can there be than the establishment of the nuclear high-tech project?

"..."

Miao Wei pondered for a while: "Mr. Fang, can you tell me why you are afraid of accepting it?"

Fang Nian did not hesitate, and spoke sincerely: "I am fortunate to have heard about the development plan. There is no free lunch in the world. The Nuwa system has already taken the first step of commercialization. Although it seems to be unable to make ends meet, it is only temporary;

Moreover, Nuwa Lab earned nearly 50 million in licensing fees last year. With the further expansion of market share, it is conservatively estimated that it will turn around in the middle and late next year at the latest, so..."

Having said that, Fang Nian paused, and looked at Miao Wei with a smile.

The meaning of Fang Nian's words is very clear.

The Nuwa system has successfully proved its commercial value, and the establishment of the project will not affect its future development.

If you really want to establish a project, it should be a little earlier.

Even if it is after the project is approved, the subsidy can be given before October. At that time, the Nuwa Laboratory is really difficult and needs to be subsidized by the project.

Miao Wei was about to speak when Leader Ping suddenly interrupted: "Fang always doesn't want Nuwa Lab to take on additional research and development pressure?"

"Ping school, it's not that I don't want to bear the pressure of research and development, but that I don't want to bear too much expectation." Fang Nian said with a wry smile.

"..."

Ping Xiao glanced at Miao Wei, and Miao Wei took up the conversation: "Is there no room for negotiation?"

"Miaobu, Nuwa Lab has no intention of resisting the establishment of the project," Fang Nian said repeatedly.

Miao Wei thought for a while, looked at Fang Nian, and said calmly, "I think Mr. Fang should have already guessed what the mission is."

"Probably, if it's just a single task, Nuwa Lab can try hard no matter whether there is a project subsidy or not." Fang Nian nodded without evading it.

It looks like it's playing the front of the machine, but the meaning is already very clear.

As the leader of the Ministry, Miao Wei inspected a system research and development laboratory alone, and deliberately made things difficult for nothing more than...

real operating system.

It's not quite accurate to say that, but the above hope that Nuwa Lab can have some performance in the field of personal computer operating systems.

The domestic commercial operating system has been shouting for many, many years, calling out a bunch of projects that require money, and the actual results...

There is simply nothing to show for it.

Either it is to tinker with the open source kernel of Linux, or it is simply open source abroad and self-developed domestically, and fool things around.

Not to mention commercial use, there are very few that are actually used.

The distance from autonomous control is even worse.

Hearing Fang Nian's words, Miao Wei didn't hide it anymore: "If Nuwa Lab is willing to undertake the domestic desktop-level operating system project, the Ministry can provide project subsidies in the early stage. I hope Mr. Fang will seriously consider it."

Hearing this, Fang Nian suddenly made a 180-degree turn and said firmly, "Don't think about it, I agree."

"Oh?" Leader Lian Ping was a little puzzled.

Fang Nian smiled slightly: "As I mentioned just now, Nuwa Lab doesn't mind working hard if it's just a single project, because...

Nuwa Labs has been working on desktop-level operating systems for a long time. "

"I don't know if Miaobu and Pingxiao have heard of KuaFuOS, an open source desktop operating system based on a browser, released by Nuwa Lab on GitHub, a foreign open source community;

Another branch of this project has been singled out, and the project team does not work here, and is proceeding confidentially in another place. "

"This branch is to develop a closed-source desktop-level system through the support and feedback of the vast number of application developers in the open source community..."

Having said that, Fang Nian paused slightly: "Actually... if it is just a lightweight desktop-level operating system, KuaFuOS can basically be put into commercial use;

Like Google's ChromeOS, it can even cooperate directly with hardware manufacturers like Google to launch a Chromebook-like KuaFubook or a netbook with other names, and open source will not affect the performance or security of the system. "

Miao Weizhen was stunned for a moment: "This..."

Then he was puzzled: "Since we have already achieved this step, why did we shirk it just now?"

Fang Nian shrugged and said calmly: "The development of Nuwa Lab and even the frontier is not easy. It is far more difficult than Dangkang game. I am more conservative and I am not very willing to bear the high expectations of the outside world."

"I don't deny that I have ideals. To put it bluntly, it is the self-realization that satisfies external needs. To put it bluntly, it is actually earning more money and having nothing to do. In essence, I am an ordinary businessman."

Hearing what Fang Nian said, Leader Ping showed a rare smile, and said with emotion: "It's rare to be true, not bad!"

Fang Nian blinked his eyes.

Then calmly and honestly said: "School Lauping praised me, I also want to make a good impression, but..."

"Haha." Miao Wei laughed twice, but didn't say much.

Then brought the topic back: "The Ministry hopes that this desktop-level operating system will have enough application ecology, not just netbooks."

"Understood, this is what the R\u0026D team is doing." Fang Nian nodded.

"..."

On this topic, Miao Wei had an in-depth exchange with Fang Nian.

Mainly simple segmentation targets.

Of course, it is inevitable to mention the scale of project subsidies.

It's just that after the figures were told, Fang Nian almost regretted that he had shied away so much before!

He's so silly, really.

He only knew that the project subsidy had always been generous, but he didn't know that the subsidy was so high.

The first phase supports 500 million cash, one-time payment.

Depending on the progress of the project, the second phase of 1 billion cash will be supported, which will also be paid in one lump sum.

Depending on the smooth progress of the project, additional investment will be made.

The requirements are simple, absolutely autonomous and controllable, have a good ecological environment, and are substitutable.

Subsidize this thing.

No taxes, no returns...

It smells so good!

Fang Nian thought about it, looked expectant, and said enthusiastically: "School Ping, Miaobu, if I say... the secret laboratory of Nuwa Laboratory still has some separate projects, isn't it..."

"Ho!" Miao Wei let out a hoot.

Leader Ping didn't speak, but just glanced at Fang Nian.

Fang Nian smiled awkwardly: "Then what, I was too poor in the past, and I used to keep a little food in my pocket. Leaders, don't be surprised..."

Seeing Miao Wei staring at him, Fang Nian hurriedly said:

"The projects that are still underway in the secret laboratory include: research and development of supporting programming languages ​​based on the Nuwa kernel, research and development of compilers, research and development of universal application translators, and self-owned patents for cross-platform application interfaces..."

"No more, that's all."

Miao Wei is a half-knowledgeable expert, so he naturally understands what Fang Nian said about these items.

"In other words, Nuwa Lab has already done all the preparations for the development of desktop-level commercial systems and supporting research and development?"

Fang Nian nodded, and said casually: "The development of the system kernel will not be too difficult. What is complicated is the application ecology, application interface, etc., so it is inevitable to prepare more."

"..."

What Fang Nian said is actually very simple.

No one is more prepared than me, and no one in China is ahead of me.

For example, many people think that the KuaFuOS open source project was created by Nuwa Lab as a gimmick;

In the past two months, it has been directly available for commercial netbooks.

Lightweight desktop systems have long been available.

In addition, Nuwa's laboratory has also started preparations.
