Chapter 741 Frontier Can't Live! (Wan(1/2)
For example, if you say that this room is too dark and a window needs to be opened here, no one will allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will mediate and open a window.

…………
Hearing that Miao Wei took the initiative to speak, Fang Nian's heart moved and he temporarily changed his plan.
Suddenly he said with a sad face: "Miao Bu Mingjian, there is indeed something important, the frontier will not survive!"
"I dare not hide it from Miao Bu. I am licking my face this time to ask Miao Bu to save Qianlian."
“The frontier is really difficult!”
"Since August, Frontier has been carrying too much pressure on its thin shoulders, and the senior management has not thought about anything..."
Miao Wei: "..."
If he hadn't been well-educated, he would definitely be able to say "I'm riding a horse" right now.
You, a big boss with a net worth of who knows how many billions, came to the office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology early in the morning to complain, right?
Would you like some Bilian?
Skinny shoulders at the front?
How could you say this, Fang Nian!
I……
This year’s Spring Festival Gala cross talk skit will be complete without you, so I won’t even watch it!
To be honest, it was the first time for Miao Wei to see such a scene.
I even took the time to think: But, maybe this is the post-90s generation?
Mainly because Fang Nian acted so unreasonably!
Seeing Miao Wei lowering his eyes and looking indifferent, classmate Fang Nian almost wanted to squeeze out a tear.
This kind of old fox has really seen all kinds of scenes.
Miao Wei said calmly: "Mr. Fang, it's not that big of a deal."
"As far as I know, Frontier's business has been booming in the past two months, and its orders with Samsung Electronics alone are worth billions."
"It will never get to the point where I can't survive."
After saying that, Miao Wei raised his head and looked at Fang Nian, and said after some time, "Tell me, what exactly is it that stumps you, the boss?"
"Miaobu doesn't know anything, this business is just a drop in the bucket." Fang Nian said sincerely with his lips pursed.
Then he made a gesture to Chao Guyu: "Miaobu, you also know that Frontier knows nothing about big data, cloud computing, social networking, e-commerce and other money-making application technologies, and can only survive by doing some basic research and development."
"I also received an important task assigned by you. It was Nuwa's honor and she came up with something. However, those big foreign manufacturers bullied Frontier and didn't even make a driver. I am also young and energetic.
so……"
After a pause, Fang Nian held the two CPUs that Gu Yu took out with both hands and said, "Let Baize Laboratory do some research."
"This is a self-developed series of computer processors produced by Baize, Loongson, and Jingjiawei."
"The performance is just average. The complete performance is probably at the level of foreign Intel processors produced in 2007."
"However... the CPU part is 100% self-developed, from instruction set to microarchitecture to design."
Originally, Miao Wei wanted to see what Fang Nian could perform from the beginning.
Then his expression slowly became calm and calm.
Finally, he said seriously: "Mr. Fang, you can't joke about this kind of thing."
"I never joke when it comes to business." Fang Nian said seriously.
"These two processors can be verified quickly by any undergraduate student with a decent level of integrated circuits."
Given Fang Nian's character, of course he would not completely listen to all the reports given by Academician Chen Jianye.
In fact, many things within Frontier have a multi-angle review system.
During the period from when the tape-out was successful to when Fang Nian was about to take the bus to the airport, he just completed multiple cross-examinations and read various reports before Fang Nian actually set off.
Although developing a chip requires massive capital investment and accumulation of technology;
But it is not difficult to identify a chip.
This is not Hanxin. A group of people deliberately turned a blind eye and unified their views, so that in the end a law was passed and no one was blamed. It was just that no one touched the chip project for several years.
Hanxin obviously makes DSP (digital signal processing) chips, not CPU, GPU and other chips, but it has affected the entire domestic chip industry...
Miao Wei did not hesitate, called Director Xiao Chen over, and arranged it in front of Fang Nian: "Take it yourself to verify whether it is self-researched, and tell me the result as soon as you know it."
Then he looked at Fang Nian: "How long does Mr. Fang think there will be results?"
Fang Nian glanced at his watch and said with a smile: "I've heard for a long time that your company's administrative efficiency is very high. I think it can be out before ten o'clock."
Hearing this, Miao Wei looked at Fang Nian, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "So this is the reason why Mr. Fang arrived twenty minutes early?"
"I... Miao Bu has a sharp gaze and knows everything clearly." Fang Nian said with an honest face.
Miao Wei: "..."
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: "Thousand-year-old vixen!"
On the surface, Miao Wei calmly changed the subject: "It seems that Frontier has invested a lot in R&D recently?"
"This year the total has exceeded 10 billion." Fang Nian told the truth.
It's not a trick either.
Although Baize has slowed down a bit in the past three months, it has also invested more than 2 billion in research and development funds.
Not much less than the monthly average of the previous five months.
Hearing Miao Wei secretly click his tongue, he asked casually: "Can Mr. Fang disclose the approximate total assets of Frontier?"
"It's hard to calculate, I guess it's less than 10 billion." Fang Nian thought for a while and answered.
Miao Wei frowned slightly: "Invest 100% in research and development?"
"It should be considered 200%. Frontier has nearly 10 billion in debt so far." Fang Nian said seriously.
This time he didn't say anything about asking Miao to save the frontier.
I have already sought truth from facts, and Miao Wei understands it without further explanation.
After taking a deep look at Fang Nian, Miao Wei suddenly said: "I remember the last time I went to inspect Nuwa's laboratory, I asked Mr. Fang what supports you in continuing to invest in research and development. Mr. Fang said it was commercial interests, but this...
"
"Miaobu just said that Frontier's business has been booming recently." Fang Nian smiled slightly, "Nuwa Laboratory's gross income in recent months has been close to 2 billion, which has basically covered the initial R&D investment."
"Frontier just wants to do some business that can be done once and for all."
Miao Wei nodded casually: "It makes sense."
"..."
Both parties intended to delay the ten minutes.
We didn't even talk in depth.
Fang Nian was not in a hurry to express his intention.
Anyway, he was just trying to be high-profile and planned to remove the roof first and then open a window.
Before ten o'clock, the phone on Miao Wei's desk rang.
Miao answered the question twice, then returned to the sofa in the reception area and sat down, sighing: "Frontier is really a company that can produce miracles. The developer conference in May shocked the world, and now it has made a sudden decision
Got new results.”
"Mr. Fang, could you please tell me how you broke through the technical barriers?"
Hearing this, Fang Nian spread his hands and said innocently: "I don't know either."
"Academician Chen Jianye said that it came out as soon as Baize's technical reserves collided with Loongson's technical reserves."
"I can understand a few of the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month."
Miao Wei: "...that makes sense."
Of course Miao Wei knew that there must be many stories in this, and Fang Nian was the absolute leader, but the technical aspect had nothing to do with Fang Nian.
"..."
Then we talked about some topics around the chip, and Fang Nian asked Gu Yu to answer a small part of the conversation on his behalf.
The plan to visit Miao Wei was actually decided as early as August 8th.
Therefore, Guyu’s preparations were very sufficient and there was no jamming.
…………
Then, it was finally Fang Nian's turn to use his ultimate move.
To be continued...
