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

Everyone stands from a different angle, but the general direction is the same.

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

It also includes constructive suggestions put forward by Liu Xi from the perspective of cutting-edge financial operations management.

At times like this, Liu Xi never hesitates to express herself.

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

Fang Nian glanced at the office and cleared his throat: "Then I will 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 the participation of companies such as Loongson and Jingjiawei to join the alliance."

Having said this, Fang Nian looked at Wen Ye.

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

"With the foundation of Baize and Loongson, we will strive to implement Jing Jiawei's matter within this week."

Fang Nian thought for a while 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 independent GPU complete set of solutions;

We must have a complete set of products as soon as possible, even if it is an engineering prototype, even if we follow last year's Intel solution and just use glue to stick the CPU and GPU together."

Wen Ye nodded to express understanding.

Fang Nian continued: "The second step is to concentrate some efforts on improving some of the supporting ecology for each research in the two laboratories, Taotie and Taotie."

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

“Shanghai Microelectronics, SMIC, and AMEC Semiconductor are right next door in Zhangjiang, as well as a large number of companies in Shanghai such as Ruili Scientific Instruments, Zhichun Technology, etc.;

As well as Seven Star Electronics, Northern Microelectronics, Xinyuan Micro, Zhongkexin, China Electronics Technology, Jingrui Chemical, Changdian Technology, etc.;

And include a series of companies in the semiconductor material industry, such as Jingsheng Electromechanical, Walter Gas, etc."

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

Therefore, Frontier needs to hold a certain number of shares in order to encourage them to actively cooperate with Taotie and Taotie Labs to transform laboratory research results into production faster.”

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

Guan Qiuhe said after careful consideration: "Are you anxious about this part?"

After a moment's hesitation, he asked again: "You don't need me to talk to you, do you?"

"There's no rush, and you don't need to negotiate. Frontier Science will take the lead in forming a business negotiation team."

Fang Nian smiled.

"The plan is to complete it before the end of this year. It should be a large amount of money that is difficult to bear at the moment."

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

"..."

While everyone was talking, Liu Xi also completed the calculation and reported a more accurate figure: "Calculated based on the 5% shareholding ratio, considering that some of the listed companies, ideally it would require 9.2 billion

cash."

"Ouch!" Wu Fucheng was the first to yell.

Bai Porridge followed closely: "Hoo ho!"

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

It is not an ideal situation, and it is normal if it exceeds 10 billion.

Liu Xi added: "I will conduct financial investment model analysis and come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible. I won't have to bear so much pressure if I do it in batches."

Then he added: "The total available funds on the Frontier account are now 3.4 billion."

Frontier is not desperately spending money all the time.

Most of the time, there will be more than 1 billion in readily available cash in the account for emergencies.

For the frontier, the level of 1 billion is considered a conservative reserve.

certainly……

With Liu Xi here, the amount of 1 billion is considered a loose reserve, because a large amount of money has only been allocated to the corresponding business and has not been fully spent.

The previous time I spent money, I planned to distribute the funds until the end of the year.

After listening to Liu Xi's words, Fang Nian smacked his lips: "In other words, there are no other actions, and there is still nearly 6 billion in capital."

"Frontier Angel's previous investment cuts were a bit impulsive, and the return cycle seems to be longer."

At the end, Fang Nian waved his hand: "Ignore the money first, let's finalize the plan."

"..."

Then the topic came back again.

“In addition to the internal laboratory industry chain circulation and the promotion of the college service department, the smooth industrial chain circulation part is also included;

What's more important is to rely on the external ecological foundation to build the first joint computer CPU as soon as possible, and then promote the DeskOS+ industry and smooth the upstream and downstream cycles."

"Old Wu is right, there are only three words to smooth the circulation of the industrial chain: there are people who can use it."

“We need to apply what we have learned from the existing successful experience of MindOS+.”

"The specific planning for this part will be developed in detail, led by cutting-edge science."

After saying that, Fang Nian looked at Lu Weiyu: "Mr. Lu, is it okay?"

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

Smoothing the circulation of the industrial chain is the easiest part to look at but the hardest to do.

For example, in the DeskOS+ industry chain, standards can only be said to be in place. DeskOS has a large number of underlying key frameworks that rely on other similar desktop systems.

After Baize, Loongson, Jingjiawei and others jointly developed the CPU, a lot of underlying modifications were required. After all, even the instruction set architecture was completely different.

It can be used after this.

Only then can a standard be established.

After the standard is established, re-opening becomes a huge problem.

All application software currently available needs to be modified accordingly.

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

Although Chen Jianye mentioned the compatibility issue, the execution efficiency of the translation target is really low and uncompetitive. This is a big 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 Laboratory.

Therefore, when DeskOS was launched, special emphasis was placed on applying translation tools.

Nuwa Laboratory has specially carried out corresponding research and development work. Now it only needs targeted modifications, but the efficiency will definitely not be very good.

No matter how you look at it, 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 about this, Fang Nian pondered: "One more thing we have to do is to sort out the information on virtual machine workstation software suppliers around the world, select one to acquire the technology, and authorize it to Bi Fang so that they can carry out targeted development.

;

Supports running Windows systems through virtual machine software on DeskOS+ self-developed CPU architecture."

Having said this, Fang Nian thought for a moment and suddenly said: "In this case, let's reorganize Frontier Entrepreneurship in advance!"

“When each of the subsidiaries of the Frontier Department was founded, they wanted to establish an internal ecological cycle;

The initial plan was to provide financial support from Frontier Angels to allow several other companies to develop accordingly, but now only Frontier Entrepreneurship is left half-dead.”

“Originally, regarding the internal ecology, we have to make drastic changes to cutting-edge entrepreneurship, so it’s better to do it in one step.”

“Frontier Entrepreneurship directly changed its name to Frontier Ecology.”

“Including but not limited to guiding some members of cutting-edge societies who are interested in entrepreneurship to start their own businesses in different categories;

Part of it serves as a supplement to the entire cutting-edge laboratory industry chain;

Part of it leverages the advantages of cutting-edge academic intellectual property reserves;

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

At this point, Fang Nian paused briefly and looked at everyone: "Which of you will take the lead in this matter and also serve as the general manager of Frontier Ecology?"

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

Then he said seriously: "I am not against the reorganization of cutting-edge entrepreneurship. In fact, Lao Wu and I are also making plans in this area. The goals are not that far-reaching, but the details are clearer."

Wu Fucheng also pondered and said: "If it is indeed a bit too eager to start now, can it be delayed for about a month and a half and start again in mid-to-late September?"

"..."

Seeing this, Fang Nian thought about it carefully, and finally accepted the good news: "Delaying the reorganization will not have 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."
