My Return to Life

Chapter 735 Don’t Let Future Scientists Abandon Their Ideals Due to Real Difficulties

After finishing the two pots of tea, the planning framework was basically discussed in the office.

Everyone stands at different angles, but the general direction is unified.

The result of the discussion is naturally to seek common ground while reserving differences.

It also includes Liu Xi's constructive opinions from the perspective of cutting-edge financial operation and management.

At times like this, Liu Xi never hesitated to express.

After all, for all plans to be implemented, money must be spent first.

Fang Nian glanced across the office, cleared his throat, "Then let me make a summary arrangement."

"Let's talk about the external ecology first."

"Relying on Baize's latest research results, we will further promote the establishment of an instruction set system technology alliance, and promote Loongson, Jingjiawei and other companies to join the alliance."

Having said that, Fang Nian looked at Wen Ye.

Wen Ye quickly took over the conversation: "I'll implement it."

"With the foundation of Bai Ze and Godson, we will strive to implement Jing Jiawei's affairs within this week."

Fang Nian thought about it again, and said: "Jingjiawei's technical reserves may not be very strong, and the initial requirements can be lowered, as long as they can provide a certain set of independent GPU solutions;

It is necessary to have a complete set of engineering prototype products as soon as possible, even if it is to learn from Intel's solution last year, just glue the CPU and GPU together. "

Wen Ye nodded, expressing his understanding.

Fang Nian continued: "Secondly, concentrate some efforts to improve some of the supporting ecology of the research in the two laboratories of Wuwu and Taotie."

"Look at your computer desktop, here is a list of some companies I listed."

"Shanghai Microelectronics, SMIC, and China Microelectronics next door in Zhangjiang, as well as a large number of companies in Shanghai such as Ruili Scientific Instruments, Zhichun Technology, etc.;

And Seven Star Electronics, North Microelectronics, Xinyuanwei, Zhongkexin, Zhongdianke, Jingrui Chemical, Changdian Technology, etc.;

And companies including a series of semiconductor materials industries, such as Jingsheng Electromechanical, Huate Gas, etc. "

"Some of the 27 companies listed above are state-owned, but they do not resist external capital;

Therefore, Frontier needs to hold a certain number of shares in order to promote them to actively cooperate with Zhuwu and Taotie laboratories to transform the laboratory research results into production faster. "

After Fang Nian finished speaking, the office was quiet for a while.

Guan Qiuhe thought about it and said, "Is this part in a hurry?"

After hesitating for a while, he asked again: "Do you need me to talk about everything?"

"Don't be in a hurry, and you don't need to talk about it. A business negotiation team will be led by Frontier Science."

Fang Nian smiled.

"The plan is to be completed before the end of this year, and it should be a large amount of money that Frontier cannot afford at the moment."

Lu Weiyu interjected: "Frontier Science will form a team as soon as possible."

"..."

While everyone was talking, Liu Xi also completed the accounting and reported a more accurate figure: "According to the order of 5% shareholding ratio, considering that there are some listed companies, ideally it will also need to use 9.2 billion cash."

"Hey!" Wu Fucheng took the lead in making a hoot.

White porridge followed closely behind: "Hohohoo!"

Everyone has noticed Liu Xi's wording: ideal state.

It's not ideal, and it's normal if it exceeds 10 billion.

Liu Xi added: "I will analyze the financial investment model and come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible, and do it in batches without having to bear so much pressure."

Then added a sentence: "The total available funds on the frontier account are now 3.4 billion."

Frontiers isn't desperately spending money all the time, either.

Most of the time, there will be more than 1 billion disposable cash in the account at any time, in case of emergency.

For the frontier, the order of 1 billion is conservatively reserved.

certainly……

With Liu Xi here, the order of 1 billion is considered a loose reserve, because a lot of money has only been allocated to the corresponding business, and not all have been spent.

The last time I spent money, I planned the distribution of the money until the end of the year.

After listening to Liu Xi's words, Fang Nian smacked his lips: "That is to say, there is no other action, and there is still a capital of nearly 6 billion."

"Frontier Angel's previous investment reduction was a bit impulsive, and the payback period seems to be longer."

In the end, Fang Nian waved his hand: "Don't worry about money, make a plan."

"..."

Then brought the subject back.

"Smooth the cycle of the industrial chain, in addition to the cycle of the internal laboratory industry chain, and the promotion of the service department of the college;

The more important thing is to rely on the external ecological foundation to make the first joint computer CPU as soon as possible, and then promote the DeskOS+ industry to smooth the upstream and downstream circulation. "

"Old Wu is right. There are only three words to smooth the circulation of the industrial chain: someone uses it."

"The existing successful experience of MindOS+ should be applied."

"The specific plan for this part will be subdivided and formulated by cutting-edge science."

As he said that, Fang Nian looked at Lu Weiyu: "Boss Lu, are you okay?"

"No." Lu Weiyu shook her head and replied.

Unimpeded circulation of the industrial chain is the easiest part to see, but the hardest part to do.

For example, in the industry chain of DeskOS+, the standard can only be said to have been established. DeskOS has a large number of underlying key frameworks that depend on other similar desktop systems.

However, after Baize, Loongson, Jingjiawei, etc. jointly developed the CPU, a lot of underlying modifications were required. After all, even the instruction set architecture is completely different.

Only then can it be used.

It is the standard that has been established.

After the establishment of the standard, the unimpeded flow again became a huge problem.

All the application software that is available now need to be modified accordingly.

Because the underlying instruction set architecture of the CPU has changed, the previous software does not know how to execute the application through the CPU;

Although Chen Jianye mentioned the compatibility issue, the execution efficiency of the translation target is really low, and there is no competitiveness at all. This is a great blow to the good design framework of DeskOS.

Of course, Fang Nian had considered this part a long time ago, and it was included in the development plan given to Nuwa Lab.

Therefore, when DeskOS was launched, special emphasis was placed on the application translation tool.

Nuwa Lab has made a special trip to carry out corresponding research and development work, and now it only needs to be modified in a targeted manner, but the efficiency will definitely not be very good.

No matter from which point of view, it will be more uncomfortable than the situation faced by Apple when it suddenly launched the M1 chip for computers at the end of 2020.

Thinking of this, Fang Nian pondered: "There is one more thing to do, sort out the data of virtual machine workstation software suppliers around the world, choose one to acquire technology, and authorize it to Bi Fang, so that they can carry out targeted development ;

It supports running Windows system through virtual machine software on the architecture of DeskOS+ self-developed CPU. "

Speaking of this, Fang Nian thought for a while, and suddenly made a decision: "Well, let's reorganize Frontier Ventures in advance!"

"From the establishment of the various subsidiaries of the frontier department, it is to establish an internal ecological cycle;

The earliest plan was to provide financial support from frontier angels to allow several other companies to develop accordingly. Now only frontier startups are left half-dead. "

"Originally regarding the internal ecology, it is necessary to make a big move on cutting-edge entrepreneurship, so it is better to do it in one step."

"Frontier Entrepreneurship is directly renamed Frontier Ecology."

"Including but not limited to guiding some members of the frontier community who are interested in starting a business to start their own businesses in different categories;

Part of it serves as a supplement to the entire frontier laboratory industry chain;

Part of the advantage of cutting-edge academic intellectual property reserves;

The ultimate goal is to form a decentralized industry, responsible for breaking the barriers of the overall ecology within the frontier, and assisting in the smooth internal circulation! "

Speaking of this, Fang Nian paused for a while, and looked at everyone: "Who of you will take the lead in this matter, and also serve as the general manager of Frontier Ecology."

Bai Yu was the first to speak: "Mr. Fang, are you a little anxious? Although the framework of the frontier community is getting closer to perfection, it is still just a paper work because it is the summer vacation."

Then he said seriously: "I am not opposed to the reorganization of cutting-edge entrepreneurship. In fact, Lao Wu and I are also making plans in this regard. The goal is not so far away, but the details are more clear."

Wu Fucheng also pondered and said: "If it is really too urgent to proceed now, can you delay it for about a month and a half, and restart it in mid-to-late September?"

"..."

Seeing this, Fang Nian thought about it carefully, and finally followed suit: "Delaying the reorganization is not a big impact, but can it be carried out slowly, and the internal adjustment work will be carried out step by step from now on?"

"I agree."

"..."

After reaching an agreement, Fang Nian looked at everyone: "It's still the same question, who will go?"

"I'm not suitable." Guan Qiuhe spread her hands. She is not suitable for this kind of role, and it is easy to get twice the result with half the effort.

Wen Ye and Gu Yu are also not suitable.

In the end, he pointed to Lu Weiyu again.

Although Lu Weiyu has some experience in this area, the cutting-edge science is basically on the right track, and it seems to be thriving.

But Lu Weiyu can't be the top for everything.

This is unreasonable.

It made her too much credit alone.

"You guys want to exhaust Boss Lu to death." Fang Nian said helplessly, "Wu Fucheng, you and Bai Congee will take the lead together. At worst, we can rotate jobs internally."

"..."

This way everyone has no opinion.

In the end, Fang Nian said a few more words: "Focus on the relevant work, and try to have a basic implementation this week, so that I can coordinate the relationship."

Hearing this, Wen Ye and Wu Fucheng nodded in agreement.

Fang Nian also said: "Bai Ze's development is more favorable than expected, it's worth my trip to the capital to meet Miao Wei in person;

It can also be regarded as making preparations in advance for promoting the reorganization of Luzhou Frontier into Luzhou Semiconductor in the next year and the formal establishment of an integrated equipment manufacturer integrating the upstream and downstream of the semiconductor industry;

Anyway, it is nothing more than a multi-party alliance, or the frontier is the only one, and the surrounding supporting industries are gathered in the form, which is always led by the frontier in Luzhou. "

"..."

Porridge was taken aback for a moment.

Even Wu Fucheng was taken aback.

None of them knew that Fang Nian had such a long-term plan for the frontier.

Guan Qiuhe took over the conversation: "Do you really want to engage in a semiconductor IDM model?"

"In the current environment of global division of labor, such a model is a bit thankless."

Fang Nian smiled: "Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as an IDM, but Luzhou Frontier must take the lead to form a complete semiconductor industrial cluster in Luzhou;

Moreover, only when Luzhou Frontier becomes the leader, can it obtain the most lucrative benefits, whether it is business or other, this is an eternal truth. "

Only then did Guan Qiuhe understand the meaning of Fang Nian's words: "So whether it is a multi-party alliance, or the frontier alone dominates, at most it is a matter of industrial scale, right?"

"No, it's a matter of the ratio of risk taking." Fang Nian smiled.

"..."

Guan Qiuhe didn't say any more.

The three major parts of internal ecology, external ecology, and unimpeded industrial chain circulation have been implemented from a large-scale plan.

The specific work is that everyone performs their own duties to lead and arrange the implementation of each team in the frontier department.

After the whole circle, only Guan Qiuhe was still doing nothing.

However, the planning is very long-term.

Mr. Guan was more or less hesitant to speak for a moment.

Fang Nian just happened to see it, and laughed: "Giving you live will delay your vacation, and if you don't give you live, you have ideas, huh, woman!"

"Don't worry! When you come back from vacation, you will have to take the lead in most of the things to smooth the industrial chain circulation, and only you are the most suitable."

Guan Qiuhe: "..."

"..."

Then Fang Nian shook his hand: "Okay, now let's talk about the second thing."

"The preliminary plan of the six frontier institutes across the country is to conduct the first batch of postgraduate check-in on Friday, September 9th, which is a more formal opening ceremony."

"The preparatory team for the opening of the hospital will be established from today, and Wen Ye will be in charge."

After a short pause, Fang Nian said earnestly: "Who will watch the ceremony in each frontier courtyard, arrange now."

"Lu Weiyu in Chang'an, Guan Qiuhe in Beijing, Wenye in Luzhou, Guyu in Harbin, Wufucheng in Yangcheng, and Shencheng, I might go, but you have to go on behalf of the frontier."

After listening to Fang Nian, Guan Qiuhe smacked his lips: "There are many disputes in various aspects in the capital, but Mr. Fang, you still have to pay the most attention."

Fang Nian shrugged: "I can't help it. In fact, if the capital city is not so difficult to coordinate, the frontier development can be more radical."

Indeed, from the perspective of arrangement, Fang Nian attached the highest importance to the capital.

Guan Qiuhe's platoon is quite large, that is to say, it is second only to Fang Nian in every aspect.

However, Fang Nian's current status would not easily stand in front of the stage, which caused Guan Qiuhe to represent the highest rank on the frontier.

Fortunately, Bai Yu joined the job in July, otherwise there would be one less person.

Because it is not convenient for Fang Nian and Liu Xi to attend the ceremony.

Everyone agrees with this arrangement.

Although Bai Congee came out of Renmin University, it was not easy to arrange for him to go to the capital.

The only one who was taken care of was Lu Weiyu. She went to Xijiao University to watch the ceremony, which was another "homecoming".

"..."

Fang Nian knocked on the table: "The matter is not over yet."

"In addition to going to the ceremony, you need to convey something on behalf of the frontier. In short, the core idea is: study for the rise of China."

"Frontier clubs and frontier institutes are two university projects that should be treated differently from other businesses in the frontier department, and they are absolutely not aimed at direct profit."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, everyone nodded: "Understood."

Fang Nian glanced at Bai Congee, and said with a smile: "Bai Congee, you will polish the relevant speeches in the end, you can't be too fragmented, but the meaning must be clearly expressed, you can understand it as standing up and down."

In the end, companies that focus on science and technology are lacking not money, the environment, or everything else. They are talents, and they are talents who have been immersed in basic disciplines for many years.

Just like the laboratories of the current frontier department, there are thousands of people who can be called scientists.

Such as mathematicians, chemists, physicists, etc.

"..."

Then Fang Nian clicked the mouse again, and released a sketch on the desktop.

"This is my little plan for the Frontier Institute. Taking advantage of this nationwide unified occupancy, I plan to approve a total of 1 billion yuan to accelerate the completion of the construction of a total of 103 research centers in the Frontier Institute."

As soon as Fang Nian finished speaking, Liu Xi hurriedly interjected: "Mr. Fang, the investment of the Frontier Academy has already been in place with 2 billion;

According to the memorandum framework signed by all parties, the difference is only 100 million for Harbin Institute of Technology, 200 million for Beijing, 200 million for Shencheng, and 100 million for Yangcheng;

A total of 700 million yuan has been completed in advance of the budget. "

Fang Nian: "...I..."

He really wanted to say something that I didn't know.

But he's not so thick-skinned, and he's not in a situation where he doesn't want Bilian.

Guan Qiuhe deliberately went on to say: "Mr. Fang, the Frontier Institute has completed the nominal construction of 77 research centers, but it has not been fully implemented in the follow-up."

Then he added in a vague way: "It is expected that 85 will be completed before September."

Fang Nian: "..."

He laughed: "Ah, Mr. Guan did a good job."

"Then approve 300 million yuan and invest another 1 billion yuan in total to speed up."

Then Fang Nian smiled to himself, and said, "This will just squeeze out a little more money for another project."

"On September 9th, the Joint Talent Scholarship Program of the Frontier Academy will be established, and the first batch of 200 million yuan in cash will be invested for all students who join the Frontier Academy."

After a short pause, Fang Nian added: "Everyone should have heard of Huang Yankang who is in charge of virtual stocks at Frontier Science;

In fact, he graduated with a Ph.D. in particle physics and nuclear physics, and his studies are excellent;

Now that he has chosen reality, I cannot say that he is wrong, but I also hope that such things will happen less through the intervention of the Frontier Academy. "

"Through the Genius Scholarship Program to give students who choose basic disciplines a realistic reason to continue their studies, and the frontier department is supplemented by similar programs. The combination of the two is enough to make future scientists not give up their ideals due to practical difficulties."

"After all, the frontier has a great demand for talents of the same type of basic disciplines, and we can't just appeal."
