Tech Hammer

"Senior Brother Zhang, Mr. Ning asked me to ask you if you still lack any equipment in the laboratory, and let us, Ningshe, help you buy some."

As soon as he went out, Chen Diancheng followed Ning Wei's instructions and called Zhang Dingxi. They are all smart people. There is no need for Ning Wei to speak directly. Chen Diancheng also understood what Ning Wei meant. How should I put it, the elder dare not refuse the gift. The instructor must keep the benefits, but of course he can only keep them.

The main reason is that the money is not for him personally, but for Ning She. The biggest benefit to him is probably that his position as president will be more stable. After all, it was his decision to spend the 500 million yuan. Although no one raised any objections, who knew what was going on behind the scenes. . .

For example, my master didn't quite understand this way of spending money, so he even called him to beat him up.

"Hey, Xiao Chen, thank you this time. At present, there is really no shortage of instruments and equipment in the laboratory, but there is indeed a need for upgrades, and I also think that the dehumidifier in the laboratory should have been replaced long ago. In addition, the demand for consumables in the laboratory is quite large now... How about I send you a list directly later?" Zhang Dingxi obviously knew what was happening on the Internet in the past two days and answered naturally.

"No, senior brother, you send me a list, and I have to find a teacher from the Equipment Management Department to purchase it. How troublesome is that? Why don't you just calculate the price directly, and we will transfer the money directly to your laboratory account? , just let Director Ning handle the other matters, how about that?" Chen Diancheng immediately refused.

"Haha, as long as my junior brother has confidence in my project, it's okay. Let's do this. I'll call Director Ning later to confirm how much funding the laboratory still needs, and I'll get back to you later."

"Okay, that's it. Goodbye, Senior Brother Zhang."

This is Chen Diancheng's favorite way of handling things, simple, rough and direct.

…

If we must give a sign of the end of this incident of Ningshe smashing five small targets, it will probably end with Zhang Qiming's resignation.

Yes, after three days of persistence, Weibo CEO Zhang Qiming submitted his resignation to Xingyu Group.

But this obviously failed to reverse the decline of Xingyu Weibo, because on the same day, Penguin Weibo officially resumed operations, and the battle between the two Weibo started again. Obviously Penguin Group came prepared this time. As soon as it went online, it officially announced that it had signed up 500 plus V well-known media accounts as the target of official support. And once again emphasized that Penguin Weibo will implement the concept of Yangguan News.

For this purpose, the hot search algorithm has even been specially incorporated into a review mechanism to ensure that hot social events that can be searched on Penguin Weibo in the future are as close as possible to the truth that can be understood by the simple cognition of the public.

Of course, the final effect still needs time to be tested. After all, living things are naturally curious, and if you want to persevere, you must abandon flow theory thinking. This is actually quite difficult for capital.

But in any case, many people think this is a good start.

After all, this is an era of too much information, not too little. The cost that people need to pay to judge the authenticity of information is obviously greater than the cost of simply obtaining information.

Of course, this probably proves that Weibo is not as fun as games. After all, Xingyu Weibo is completely powerless against Ningshe's attack. What’s even more annoying is that if Xingyu Weibo immediately connects to the Sunshine News rating algorithm, it may suffer a second blow.

Some users have already been lost, and strict review of some small compositions may also affect the current die-hard users. When countless small essays have no room to survive, they can only survive by doing things in the entertainment industry. However, the Chinese entertainment industry has been experiencing constant turmoil in recent years, and many celebrities have even begun to suffer from phobia of hot searches. In the past, everyone spent money to make trending searches popular, but now everyone wants to spend money to remove trending searches...

Especially as various auditions and celebrity development programs have been stopped one by one, it has become difficult to create too many hot spots on Weibo to attract traffic. If we give up the output of various controversial views and ignite public opinion, Xingyu Weibo will take What guarantees traffic?

Of course, this is probably something the next Weibo CEO needs to consider.

As for the former CEO of Weibo, he only leaked two sentences to the outside world regarding this matter, and it is said that he wrote it in an internal resignation letter.

"Everyone, please be careful of Ning She. Whatever they want to do, they will only give you one chance. If you miss it, it's gone."

"The members of Ningshe are very good at making software and writing software. This has long been proven by the market, but many people may not know that they are also very powerful at causing damage. Our past success is due to Everything you worked hard for was destroyed in a day. There are many reasons for this, but ultimately it comes down to thinking in a different direction. This kind of destructiveness is terrible and should be more strictly regulated rather than allowed to go unchecked."

The complete resignation letter has not been circulated, so no one knows whether these two sentences are true or false except the board of directors of Xingyu Group who received the letter. None of these people spoke out, so these words were easily classified as "unverified, authenticity to be determined" by the Sunshine News rating system.

But one thing must be admitted.

In the past two days, various news reports on the Internet, including various news reports from self-media, have become much more honest.

Even the news headlines pushed by the software lack the thrilling headline content of the past.

Not only Weibo, but also recommendation algorithms for headlines and some short videos.

This has also made many self-media authors uncomfortable. Titles they once could publish can no longer be published.

Content that was once highly promoted by the algorithm now seems to be reversely restricted.

All in all, the platform has suddenly become extremely cautious in the past two days.

At the same time, for Ningshe, things are not peaceful these days. More and more people are consulting the Sunshine News rating algorithm through various methods. Fortunately, Chen Diancheng had already thought of the possibility of such a situation, and quickly gave an explanation on the official website, and completely pushed the matter to Ningfeng Software.

After all, Ningfeng Software has a customer service department, but Ningshe does not, so we can only ignore it and bury it.

But what can I say, the network after being cleaned looks much more comfortable. Now that there are fewer horrific headlines, the whole world seems to have become a lot more normal.

In addition, Ningshe's account allocated another small target, and finally the money was transferred to Zhang Dingxi's laboratory account. The process was very low-key, but there were many required procedures. Chen Diancheng took the two vice presidents of Ningshe to sign two contracts. The general meaning is that the money will be used to update laboratory equipment. If the laboratory produces new products in the future, If the results are marketized, Ningshe can also receive dividends.

To put it simply, Ningshe took a stake in Zhang Dingxi’s laboratory. However, this investment is not based on Ningshe. After all, Ningshe is just a student club, so it goes around Ningfeng Software. Therefore, two contracts need to be signed, one between Ningshe and Ningfeng Software. , and then Ningfeng Software will sign a contract with Zhang Dingxi.

Of course, these did not do any publicity to the outside world.

It didn't even spread at all, and it probably caused some minor complaints. After all, this is not friendly to some social capital. It’s just that at this time, no one dares to say anything, let alone celebrate the New Year.

…

January 25, 2028, is also December 30 in the ancient Chinese calendar, the last day of the Year of the Sheep, New Year’s Eve.

For Ning Wei, this year was actually nothing special. Chen Shuang's grandma passed away, and after little Ning Ke was born, the Ning family and the Jiang family spent every year in the capital.

But for China, there is still a lot to talk about this year.

For example, after twenty years, the Chinese capital will once again host the world-famous Olympic Games in the summer soon.

In fact, speaking of it, the Olympic Committee’s previous decision for the 2028 Summer Olympics was not the capital of China, but who would have thought that something decided ten years in advance could go wrong at the last moment. After the previous bidding cities had settled their accounts, they discovered some economic problems. , so I gave up my responsibility two years ago, which confused the World Olympic Committee at that time.

After all, this kind of nonsense has never happened in the history of the Olympics. Everyone has long accepted the fact that hosting the Olympics may not make money but will lose money. However, this way of playing is still too willful.

Originally, the Olympic Committee still had many ways to hold the city accountable, but after a quarrel, the World Olympic Committee found that there was really no good way to force the city to take responsibility, and could only choose a remedial solution.

In the end, the International Olympic Committee appealed to China.

After all, looking at the world, it seems that only China can prepare a decent Olympic event in only two years. After all, this is not something that can only be done with money, it also involves the ability of the people to mobilize.

It is said that after the Olympic Committee promised a lot of benefits, China, as the most responsible country on earth, finally agreed to hold this Olympics in the capital of China. This was also big news for Galvatron two years ago, but now everyone has already accepted it.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Ning Wei. After all, Ning Wei is not an athlete.

But this day he still received good news.

Just when he was teasing Ning Ke with Lao Ning in the living room, Yan Ming called and opened his mouth with great news: "Academician Ning, our Ning Core No. 1 was successfully taped out! We got it from the laboratory the day before yesterday. We arrived at the packaged Ningxin No. 1. Yesterday, the company sent the Kunpeng new generation engineering board, and then the engineers worked overtime to adjust the serial port. Just now we have successfully run the Hongmeng system. Academician Ning, congratulations!"

The voice coming from the other end of the microphone was filled with joy that could not be concealed, and there was a hint of trembling cry in the joy, which clearly showed how excited Yan Ming was at this time.

Of course, this is understandable. Ning Wei actually knows how much pressure Yan Ming has been under in recent years. On the one hand, the financial pressure is high, but if the decision fails, the blow will be unbearable.

Especially after the first tapeout failed, the debate about whether it was necessary to repeat the technology that others had already developed began to rise again. At this time, the tapeout was finally successful, and you can imagine how exciting it was.

Of course, successful tape-out is only the first step.

Generally speaking, the failure of chip tape-out means that there are unresolved waste chips regardless of software or hardware. Successful tape-out does not necessarily mean that the chip is perfect, nor does it guarantee that there are no bugs at all. It means that even if there are bugs, a solution can be found. solve.

For example, Ningxin One can now successfully run the Hongmeng system on the motherboard.

It can be said that the pressure on Yan Ming has dropped sharply.

"Congratulations, congratulations. By the way, is there a yield report for this tapeout?" Ning Wei asked the question he was most concerned about.

Generally speaking, when a newly designed chip is trying to be tape-out, the foundry is not responsible for the yield rate, but only for the PCM parameters. But this time the situation is different. Huaxin Precision, which is responsible for tape-out, is one of the major shareholders of Ningsi Lab. In other words, Foundry is the major shareholder of the chip design unit. The yield data is equally important to Huaxin Precision, so naturally it will Pay attention to this data.

"Yes, the yield report is currently about 73%. Now we have 19 pieces of Ningxin No. 1 on hand that can be used for various subsequent performance tests. By the way, I have already asked the laboratory to prepare it. I bought two engineering prototypes and notified the intelligent center to pick them up. They said that the plane would arrive in the afternoon and should be delivered to the laboratory in Beijing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, by the way, is Ning Si ready for the publicity? It's just in time to take advantage of the Chinese New Year, so we're getting even happier."

"Haha, I'll leave the external publicity to you, Academician Ning. You are familiar with this. If you think it's a good time to report this good news to the people across the country, we will definitely cooperate."

"By the way, one more thing. The frame-type three-dimensional display I talked to you about before is also made similarly. Although it is still a little ugly in appearance, it can be used together to test our CPU and Hongmeng system. .Have your colleagues at the smart center set off? If not, you can ask them to come here and take two machines with them."

"Look at me, I'm so excited that I've forgotten such a big thing. It's okay. They've already left. I'll arrange a special plane to pick it up. By the way, there should be someone in the lab over there during the Chinese New Year, right?"

"It's okay. The laboratory is open all year round. There must be someone on duty. By the way, where are you? It's New Year's Eve today and you haven't had a holiday yet?"

"Haha, what kind of holiday? In your words, only those who have not contributed much to society need to take a holiday. Our test engineers here have voluntarily given up their holidays. Don't worry, everyone is doing it voluntarily. After all, this is a success Yeah, that’s a historic progress, no one has any objections!”

"Okay, then I'll hang up and wait for your good news."

…

After hanging up the phone, Lao Ning glanced at his son and asked, "Anything good again?"

"Well, thanks to our Coco, the tape-out was successful this time. At least the system has been successfully run." Ning Wei answered happily.

While talking, he also touched the pink and tender face of Ning Ke, who was holding him.

"Then you're still staying at home?" Lao Ning thought for a while and asked.

"Otherwise, where would I go? My work has been completed. Next is various testing sessions. Only after all-round testing is completed will I know whether it is necessary to modify the engineering layout. I don't need to participate in these things, and of course I don't have to work overtime. .”

"I just heard Mr. Yan say on the phone that only those who have not contributed to society need to take a vacation..."

"Haha, that's just to trick me into working overtime. I won't be fooled."

"Oh! Keke, your father has passed away. Now you don't have to work overtime during the Spring Festival." Lao Ning looked at his granddaughter who was still being held in Ning Wei's arms and said with a sigh on his face.

No way, when Ning Wei was at home, this little girl wouldn't let him hold her, which made Lao Ning feel deeply disappointed.

Ning Wei: "?"

Fortunately, my little cotton-padded jacket warmed my heart. He clapped his hands and said, "Grandpa is lying. Dad is not useless. Dad is the best. Every time he goes to work overtime, he brings gifts to his little baby."

"Oh, then if your dad doesn't work overtime, will the little baby have no gifts?" Lao Ning said again.

This sentence stunned Ning Kewen. He stretched out his chubby little hand, supported his head and thought for a moment. Then he raised his head desperately and looked at his father who was watching him. Then he twisted his body and turned from Ning to He climbed down, stood on the sofa, held Ning Wei's head, kissed her hard, and said in a sweet voice: "Dad, you'd better go to work overtime, and remember to bring your baby A gift."

Ning Wei: "..."

…

Of course, it was impossible to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. It was not just for himself. Liu Weiwei had been accompanying him during the Chinese New Year in the past few years. He finally got the leave this year and went home to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The newly dispatched security personnel were not quite there yet. As we all know, it’s not good to let people go outside to catch the cold during the Chinese New Year.

However, Ning Wei still got up and ran to the study in depression and made several phone calls.

The laboratory should notify them to complete the supporting work and at least assemble two engineering prototypes and bring them to Ning Si.

In addition, two computers with new chipsets allocated to the Intelligent Center will also be sent to Yanbei University.

Since Ningxin No. 1 has not yet been announced to the outside world, after the equipment is transferred, the necessary confidentiality measures must be taken.

Since learning that even Ning Si's laboratory has commercial spies, Ning Wei has become more concerned about keeping secrets.

After arranging a round of work, Ning Wei sat at the table and thought about it, then opened Xingyu Weibo, which was half dead at this stage...

In fact, after the restart of Penguin Weibo, he was invited to real-name authenticate a Weibo account, but he has not used it yet.

But there is a reason for opening Xingyu Weibo first this time.

Ning Wei, who had not updated his Weibo in nearly three years, updated his Weibo again on the day when everyone was busy welcoming the Year of the Monkey.

"Publishing a piece of news that has not been confirmed by one's own eyes, and the authenticity needs to be judged by oneself: China's first general-purpose desktop CPU with more than 98% independent property rights, Ningxin No. 1 was successfully taped out! Follow us as soon as possible after the film is returned The serial port of Kunpeng motherboard has been adjusted, and the Hongmeng system has been started and run. I heard that the effect is not bad. A comprehensive report will be updated on Penguin Weibo. By the way, tomorrow is the Year of the Monkey. I wish all netizens a Happy New Year in advance, Monkey. Happy New Year! I won’t say too much, so as not to cause trouble for some people!”
