The End of Technology

Chen Ideal has never recruited part-time students, so he doesn't have many students under him. There are six people in total, one with a doctorate and five with master's degrees. But when they learned from their mentor what choices they needed to make, the six of them were stunned.

They were all majoring in mathematics and were very logical. Chen Lili only used two sentences to help them understand their current situation.

"Ning Zi asked me to be his doctoral supervisor on the condition that he leave Huaqing and go to Yanbei University of Physical Education. I have agreed. You have two choices. Give up your diploma from Huaqing and go to Yanbei University of Physical Education with me. Of course you choose to stay. It’s no problem in Huaqing, I will help you find a mentor, but I can’t guarantee that the new mentor will pay much attention to you.”

The six people began to look at each other.

The news came too suddenly, and I was completely unprepared.

Naturally, they knew Ning Zi's name very well. He even gnashed his teeth at this person for a period of time and was extremely angry.

After all, this is the guy who has continuously humiliated his alma mater.

Human feelings are often very pure. You can complain about your alma mater or your own people as much as you want, but if you are attacked because of others, it doesn't feel that way. It just makes people feel irritated.

But to be honest, everyone studies mathematics. Naturally, they know better than ordinary people what it means to win the Fields Medal in Mathematics, and what it means to be able to solve NS equation problems.

Annoyed is annoying, but admiration is also true admiration.

Even when I think of this name, I feel a sense of powerlessness.

It's really incomparable.

Not to mention that they can only look up to Ning Zi's achievements. All Chinese mathematicians must look up to Ning Zi's achievements. What can they do, they can only despair.

But now the instructor suddenly told them that as long as they follow the instructor to the nearby sports university, they can become Ning Jie's senior brother...

This news is so sudden that it makes people want to curse, isn’t it?

What's even more confusing is that if you go to Huaqing despite your elder brother's efforts and want to become senior brothers with Ning Ju, you have to be prepared to exchange your Huaqing diploma for a diploma from Yanbei University of Physical Education after graduation.

Although it is not clear to everyone who is stronger or weaker between Huaqing and NSU in the future. But at least Huaqing should still be stronger than TiDa in these years.

While everyone was still struggling, Chen Lili spoke again.

"I know this question is quite difficult to decide. Let me just make two points. First, you are studying mathematics. The first thing you should consider is what you want to do in the future. If you want to teach in colleges and universities, or go to a graduate school to continue your studies, For mathematics research, I suggest you choose to go to the National University of Science and Technology with me. I believe you can all figure out the specific reasons. When working in these units, your connections are far more useful than your diploma.

But if you want to go to a big company in the future, you have to think about it carefully. Because when it comes to employment specifically, I can’t say yet whether the graduation certificate from the University of Physical Education will be as useful as the diploma from Huaqing University in the future. But you don’t have to make a decision today. I will at least stay in Huaqing until the end of this semester. You can go back and discuss it with your family, and just give me an answer after the final exam. Again, no matter what choice you make, I will help you make arrangements before leaving. "

As soon as Chen Lili finished speaking, his only doctoral student Bao Zhihong said: "Boss, I want to go to the National Physical Education University with you."

"Um...you don't have to think about it for a few more days, or discuss it with your family?" Chen Lili asked.

"No need. I think you are right. Going to Physical Education University this time may be a good opportunity for me. As you know, I have always wanted to stay in the university and become a professor or researcher. Bao Zhihong said decisively.

Chen Lili glanced at Bao Zhihong, nodded, and said: "Okay, I will send you the materials you need to prepare later. You can come with me next year. You two don't have to make a decision in a hurry. You and Bao The situation of senior brother is different. He is a doctor after all, and he will definitely take the path of scientific research in the future. You are still in the postgraduate stage, and you have to think about your future path before making a decision. Okay, let's think about it first."

Chen Lili waved his hand, indicating that everyone could get out of the way first.

But when they reached the door, Chen Lili shouted again: "By the way, please don't tell anyone about this yet."

"Got it, boss."

…

"Senior Brother Bao, don't you think it's a loss if you just give up your diploma from Huaqing?"

After leaving the office, a master's student asked about Bao Zhihong's decision.

Bao Zhihong smiled and said: "Just like the boss said, it depends on your plans for the future. But after I heard the boss say this, the first thought in my mind was to ask myself, is the boss more important or the school? . Personally, I prefer the former. And I think there must be a reason why Ning Zi chose to get a doctorate from our boss. After all, he is different from us. Even if he chooses an academician to be a teacher, it is just a matter of one sentence, right? ?”

After speaking, as if he was afraid that his choice would mislead the juniors, Bao Zhihong added: "But in the final analysis, it is still a question of whether you choose academia or industry in the future. After all, our boss is not an academician yet, and academia Ning Zi may be able to speak in the future, but it’s hard to say in the industry. At least for now, Huaqing’s brand is relatively strong.”

After Bao Zhihong finished speaking, there was another period of silence. However, after walking away for a while, someone suddenly said: "Actually, if you really want to develop in the industry in the future, if you can have a good relationship with senior brother Ning Ji, you can find a good one in the future." The work unit is probably just a matter of his words, right? If I can get a letter of recommendation from Senior Brother Ning by then, there is no place in the world that I can't go to?"

Well, no one responded to this statement.

Before I could change my mind, hearing the title of Senior Brother Ning Jie was somewhat harsh.

First of all, Ning Zi was too young, younger than them.

Secondly, this name is like a devil to Huaqing students. Every time Ning Jie is in the limelight, the hot search on Huaqing has almost become their inner demon. But if you put yourself into the role of Fields Medal brothers, several people feel different.

After silence, several people began to talk more.

"Lao Yang is right. From now on, we will all be brothers in the same discipline. There will always be opportunities to have a meal together. Do you want a WeChat account or something?"

"Hmm, we can still chat in a WeChat group in the future."

"Well, the doctoral students from Yanbei University team up and go to the National Sports University to take classes every Friday. It is said that Senior Brother Ning and Professor Dominic Duncan are the kind of scholars who have a very wide range of mathematics. Maybe in the future We encountered difficulties in the direction of our research, and they helped us solve it with just one sentence."

"What's the point of solving problems? Hanging out with two Fields Medalists in Mathematics, and with their help recommending, we might also have the opportunity to publish a top issue. If I can really be in the "Annals of Mathematics" or "New Advances in Mathematics" in the future Posting this article will save me ten years of life."

"I don't know if it can be published in the four top journals, but I believe that as long as Senior Brother Ning gives a few pointers, it should be possible to publish in the top journals, right? Brother Bao is still thinking too far. Graduating with a doctorate will not be the same as playing in the future. ?”

"That makes sense..."

Bao Zhihong took the initiative to take a few steps behind and watched the lively discussion in front.

These little junior brothers, you and me, analyzed all the benefits that he had thought of and unexpectedly.

Well, it seems that not many people plan to stay in Huaqing.

Bao Zhihong suddenly wanted to laugh when he thought of how all the boys were filled with indignation when Ning Zi was mentioned in the previous group meeting. Sure enough, nothing in this world can escape the law of true fragrance.

Damn you, a bitch whose butt determines her head.

…

Although Chen Lili specifically told several of his students not to talk about it everywhere, the matter spread immediately.

This also directly led to Chen Ideal's office visitors starting to increase.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that everyone is following the trend. More professors are still curious.

No matter what everyone thinks of Ning Zi, Ning Zi's academic achievements must still be recognized, that is, he is a genius.

Why did this genius fall in love with the mediocre Chen Lili?

Being able to obtain the title of associate professor in Huaqing and being able to lead a doctorate certainly cannot be said to be poor in academic ability. But Huaqing’s Academy of Mathematical Sciences is not that weak. Among the less than 30 teachers, there are several who have been rated as full professors.

For example, Professor Hu Xiaohua, who was introduced to Huaqing University as an exception, is already a full professor at the age of 30 this year. He recently published a paper on "Space Reduction of Locally Symmetric Linear Systems" in the "American Mathematical Society" and found a space reduction method. A new way to reduce the size of calculations. It can be said that he has been very prosperous recently. He has been specially invited to give speeches at several important world-class conferences. Last year, he even applied for the Outstanding Youth Project.

It can be said that he is an important candidate for future academicians among the younger generation of professors at Huaqing.

There is also Professor Chen Zerui, Chen Ideal’s mentor, a top student who graduated from Berkeley. The rigidity theorem of the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation he worked on last year won an international award and a domestic commendation. He is equally famous. If nothing else happens, he will be included in the Yangtze River Scholars Award Program this year. Although he is a little older, already 35 years old, he still has a bright future.

There were several other young professors, but compared with them, Chen Lili always felt that he was lacking something.

After all, where is Chen Ideal's age? He is already over 39 years old and will be 40 in a few months. He is already over the age limit for the Fields Medal in Mathematics. Of course there are examples of mathematicians who are late bloomers, but they are too few.

In fact, there is a reason why the age limit for receiving the Fields Medal is 40 years old. Because people who are talented in mathematics usually show their special mathematical abilities very early. The period from twenty to forty is often the time when thinking and creativity are strongest, and it is also when it is easiest to produce results. As the saying goes, you should become famous as early as possible.

So even if Ning Zi's purpose was to disgust Huaqing, there were so many young talents that he didn't choose, and it was puzzling to choose Chen Lili. If there is any difference between Chen Lili and Chen Lili, it is probably that he is one of the few local mathematics professors in Huaqing. He only had one year of exchange experience during his Ph.D. and has never seriously studied abroad, but This is obviously not a big advantage.

Apart from that, there are still sour emotions. No matter what, being able to become a Fields Medal in Mathematics tutor is something that can last a lifetime. Although ordinary people may not know it, in academic circles it is known to everyone.

Fortunately, this is not really a problem for Chen Lili.

Because he also knows nothing.

Ning Zi called him suddenly, and then the matter was settled. He wanted to ask Ning Zi what he thought.

But then again, it was probably because he was not a very dazzling star professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Huaqing, so even if the news got out, the higher-ups were not too unhappy.

Yes, Chen Lili was very suspicious that this was the reason?

…

At this time, Chen Lili was not the only one who wanted to know why Ning Zi chose him.

In fact, Lu Zhengyue didn't quite understand this.

Just after Chen Lili called the department, someone called him directly and told Academician Lu about this.

Although Lu Zhengyue resigned from Huaqing University and came to Yanbei University of Physical Education, the dispute was not too tense at that time. The current head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences said that he was once a student of Lu Zhengyue. With such a strong love here, it is naturally impossible to completely Lost contact.

Not to mention that this matter was quite weird and related to Ning Jie, so Hua Qing contacted him after receiving the news.

Lu Zhengyue's temperament meant that she would not wrong herself if she couldn't figure things out clearly, so after receiving the news, she rushed to Ning Zi's office as soon as possible.

"Ning Zi, let me ask you something. You suddenly approached Chen Lili to be his student, and you asked him to come to the University of Physical Education?"

"Yes, Director Lu."

Ning Zi still respected Lu Zhengyue, after all, this boss had always taken good care of him.

"What do you think? Is there something you value very much about this Chen Lili?"

"Well, after reading two of his papers, I think what he studies is quite interesting. My doctoral thesis can be written in this direction, so I approached him just to get a degree. Because I plan to become a doctoral supervisor, I want to recruit a few doctoral students. I want to experience the fun of being a mentor."

Ning Zi explained.

Hearing this explanation, Lu Zhengyue burst into laughter.

After all, Ning Zi's willingness to devote his time to educating students is definitely a good thing for the Chinese mathematics community.

He had wanted to make this suggestion for a long time, but Ning Zhe was very resistant even to Friday's classes. In addition, Ning Zhe seemed to be very satisfied with his status as a student at the University of Physical Education, so he was too embarrassed to mention it to Ning Zhe. This issue.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually took the initiative once.

"This is a good idea. I've said it before. Is it appropriate for you to still dominate the position of undergraduate student? You are a single person in the 17th grade and no one dares to teach you. It is a waste of resources. I should have thought this way a long time ago. Now, you can become a professor directly after graduation, and everyone will feel comfortable. A bunch of people have to think about what to call you for a long time when they see you. Is it interesting? But I can understand that you want to get a doctorate, so why did you go to Chen Lili? "

Ning Zi smiled and said: "Anyway, it's just a formality. It's the same for everyone. And I happen to not be very good at geometric analysis. The graduation thesis written in this way can be easily reviewed by everyone. You said that I chose to study the PDE direction. Tutor, if no one can convince anyone about a certain issue in the thesis, it would be bad to quarrel with the tutor at the thesis defense, right?"

"Haha... That seems to make sense." After hearing this answer, Lu Zhengyue laughed.

Probably because he was older, he couldn't accept it, but this reason convinced him instantly.

This is indeed the case.

In the field of mathematics that Ning Zi is good at, there is really no one qualified to be his tutor.

It would be really funny to think about it if the supervisor couldn't understand the doctoral thesis. After all, Ning Zi proved the mathematical genius of the NS equation.

But after laughing, Lu Zhengyue still said: "But I don't think this is your boy's character. Why did you recruit Chen Lili because of his merits? If I remember correctly, he has been studying it all these years. Gaowei Keller has problems with communication, but he has never achieved any great results. I remember that when he was promoted from lecturer to associate professor, I helped him fight for it because he had enough years and indeed had merit in teaching. .”

Ning Zi thought for a moment. He couldn't tell Lu Zhengyue directly that there was a technology that could display the research progress of most mathematicians in the world in the form of charts on his computer, allowing him to judge academic potential.

So he gave an ambiguous answer: "Well, even in mathematics, there are always some people who accumulate little knowledge but become late bloomers. The research topic chosen by Professor Chen is inherently difficult and a global problem, and if it can really be solved It means a lot. I think if he can solve this problem first in these years, the future will also be promising."

After hearing this, Lu Zhengyue glanced at Ning Zi suspiciously: "Ning Zi, did you know that Chen Lili was going to produce results soon, so you dug him out of Huaqing? Let me tell you, enemies It's better to untie than to tie. You can't say that you will always be in trouble with others just to prove that Huaqing has no vision in the future, right? If Xiao Chen has never achieved anything in Huaqing, but it breaks out when he comes to the University, this will become a public case. "

Ning Zi was also stunned after hearing this statement.

He really didn't have this idea before, but when Lu Zhengyue said it like this, it felt like he really thought so subconsciously. After all, it would seem interesting if this happened.

"Well... Mr. Lu, who can say the best about the progress in mathematics? Are you right? Everything has its own opportunity. But I do have some ideas that may help Professor Chen solve some problems, but can they be completely solved? , I dare not say.”

All right……

Speaking of which, Lu Zhengyue really had nothing to say.

I just looked at Ning Zi's young face and sighed silently in my heart... Look what happened!

When I was struggling in my heart, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

After taking it out and taking a look, Lu Zhengyue laughed again.

Then he waved his hand towards Ning Zi with the phone in hand and said, "Okay, it's okay if you think it's okay. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of Ning She's office. Then he paced and answered the phone slowly: "Hey, Professor Xiao Fan, what's the matter?"

"Lao Lu, have you heard? Ning Zi found a mentor in Huaqing?"

Lu Zhengyue smiled and said, "Look at what you said, how can I know better than you about the affairs between Ti University and Huaqing University?"

"No, what does Ning Zi mean by this? I just searched for Chen Ideal's resume, and it seems unremarkable?"

Lu Zhengyue snorted coldly and said: "Haha, that's just mediocre to you, right? Do you know Chen Lili? Have you attended his classes? Have you read his papers? Have you invited him to dinner? What? Why do you say that he is mediocre when you have nothing? What? You still want to snatch Ning Zhe’s tutor position? Xiaofan, we have to be self-aware. With the current level of activity in your brain, Ning Zhe can write a paper. Come out, do you understand?"

"I...when did I say I wanted to join in the fun? I'm just curious."

Lu Zhengyue said disdainfully: "Hypocritical, don't think that I don't know what to think. It's just that our mathematics department was built with your help. This kind of benefit should be given to you Yanbei University. Don't think about it, I'd rather find it" The supervisor wants to get a doctorate, and then he plans to apply to supervise doctoral students. If you have time to care about this, why not think about whether there are any good talents at Yanbei University."

"Ning Zi is willing to take the doctor? Lao Lu, are you kidding me?"

Lu Zhengyue said angrily: "Am I kidding you? Are you making a fuss?"

The scolding voice was several octaves higher.

But something seemed to have occurred to him, and Lu Zhengyue's voice softened in the next sentence: "Well, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Our Department of Mathematics is planning to hold the first Postgraduate Entrance Examination Summer Camp this summer, probably in mid-August. Look like that. Later, you can spread the word among the sophomores and juniors of Yanbei Mathematics College. And this time we hold the class, it is in charge of Dominic Duncan. He can also teach students now. In other words , the possibility of being with a Fields Medal winner boss is very high. Especially for those children who are interested in directing their careers, let them all come and take a look. We, Yanbei University and Sports University, are all close."

Lu Zhengyue's words probably made the other party feel very complicated.

If you don't need it, you can just scold them casually. If you can use it, you can have two schools and one family. This is somewhat shameless.

But then again, for students, if they can study with Ning Zhe and Dominette Duncan in the future, it will be of great help. If nothing else, the letters of recommendation from these two people were more weighty than his. And it is useful all over the world. And the chance of learning real skills is greater.

"Okay, I get it. I'll ask you later. You arranged your time very well. It just happened to be missed by us."

"Haha, there is no way. After all, our mathematics department has just started. The preparations have been slow. I will send you an enrollment letter for the summer camp later. Remember to ask the counselor to help us publicize it and find more Come here with some outstanding kids, don’t admit any of them when the time comes, and ruin your Yanbei University Mathematics School’s sign.”

"I...forget it, hang up."

"Goodbye."

Lu Zhengyue hung up the phone proudly.

In fact, he wasn't too worried about the summer camp's student intake.

With three great figures like Ning Zi, Dominette Duncan, and Conan Lamar serving as signboards, we are not afraid that those who are truly capable will not come. Of course, if you really want to talk about it, the children from the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University are naturally the best. After all, they have been screened in advance.

Lu Zhengyue's thoughts are different now.

I used to think that with these people, the Mathematics Department of Yanbei University of Physical Education could develop into the top five in China.

However, today I learned from Chen Yonggang that Ning Jie is about to set up a tens of billions of natural science research and development funds, and will need to invest more when it is used up. This also makes Lu Zhengyue think about things differently.

From now on, the mathematics department of the National Sports University will not be ranked first in the country, which is a shame.

…

After watching Lu Zhengyue leave, Ning Zi almost finalized the candidates for the other two mentors. I took the time to chat on WeChat with Lu Xiaoya, who had returned to school, and it was almost time for lunch.

Just as he was about to make an appointment with Lu Xiaoya to have lunch on WeChat, Ge Linyue called.

"Ning Zi, let's have a meal together at noon?"

"What's up?"

"There is indeed something I want to talk to you about."

"about what?"

"Well... there is a conference being held in Silicon Valley..."

"I know."

Ning Zi interrupted Ge Linyue, thought for a moment, and said: "General Manager Ge of Youwei Group is here too. We originally made an appointment to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon. Since you want to talk about this matter, why not have dinner together at noon? He should be able to make it."

"Gedongshu?"

"Um."

"Isn't it convenient?"

"It's nothing inconvenient. In fact, he came here this time because of what you said. I received the news yesterday, and I roughly know the purpose of their establishment of the Semiconductor Alliance."

"Uh... OK, I'll contact him. I'll send you the address after we make an appointment."

"Just around the school, not too far."

"no problem."

…

The hotel Ge Linyue chose to dine was right next to the National University of Science and Technology, and it was also the hotel officially arranged by the negotiating team for the turbulence algorithm.

There are not many high-end hotels here.

However, the main building of Ningyuan has been capped and is currently undergoing interior decoration.

It is said that Kim Jong-nam, who is trying his best to express himself, stares inside every day, thinking that the decoration speed can be faster. By the second half of the year, Ningyuan will basically be able to undertake such a large-scale reception task.

However, members of the negotiating team usually go to Western restaurants to dine. Ge Linyue booked a private room in the Chinese restaurant this time, and Ning Jie did not meet anyone from the delegation after he came over.

By the time Ning Zi walked over slowly, Ge Linyue and Ge Dongshu were already chatting happily in the private room. At least it must not be obvious that they belong to two companies that happen to be competitors.

"Brother Ning, I've been waiting for you. Come, sit here."

Ning Zi opened the door and walked into the box. Ge Dongshu immediately stood up and said enthusiastically, waving his hands, showing off his pretentious attitude.

"Brother Ge, there's no need to be so polite." Ning Zi responded casually.

This made Ge Linyue somewhat depressed.

In fact, Ning Zi's title has always given her a headache.

Calling Ning Jie directly seems a little awkward, calling her Professor Ning is still a student, calling her classmate Ning seems condescending, calling her Xiao Ning seems like she is relying on her old age, and calling her President Ning is not a businessman, so she might be resentful... It's a headache. .

Of course, the main reason is that she can't be as shameless as Ge Dongshu.

The title Brother Ning...

Well, she's a woman, so that doesn't seem right.

After struggling for two seconds, Ge Linyue nodded slightly to Ning Jie and said, "Ning Jie, hello."

"Hello."

After greeting each other politely, the three of them sat down respectively, and the waiter also began to serve the dishes, and soon six dishes were served. Then he left at Ge Linyue's signal and closed the box door.

Ge Linyue also formally said: "Ning Ju, today I am entrusted by Mr. Cook to tell you this matter. Apple only learned not long ago that Silicon Valley has established a Semiconductor Industry Alliance. Mr. Cook also received the invitation, However, because he happened to be attending a future development summit forum in Europe, he did not attend this meeting. However, we still heard some news. But I hope you know that a series of policies formulated by the industry alliance have nothing to do with us. Apple does not He participated in the discussion and did not express any opinions.”

This is considered a formal statement.

But it’s really annoying for Apple to do something like this at this juncture.

The R\u0026D center that cost a lot of money to build is almost complete. The customized equipment that took a lot of effort has been almost installed, and the last batch has almost arrived at the Chinese port. After entering customs and being sent to the R\u0026D center for debugging, the deal between the two parties can be concluded. Apple can also get the smart voice control technology that it has been thinking about for a whole year.

As a result, at this juncture, those real friends and businessmen suddenly made such a fuss. What did Tim Cook say?

How should he express his position?

This is like plowing the land and sowing seeds in the spring, and then doing your best to water and fertilize the crops every day. After finally waiting until the autumn when the crops bear fruit, someone comes to dig up the roots... Who can accept this?

This is also the reason why Tim Cook did not participate in this Semiconductor Alliance executive meeting.

It is exactly contrary to Apple's current core interests.

Based on Tim Cook’s understanding of Ning Zi, if Apple joins this alliance, it is really possible that he will turn his back on them.

"I believe this."

Ning Zi nodded, and then asked: "But what I am worried about is not these, but whether the equipment of our TiDa Chip Research Center can be debugged normally, whether it can start operating as planned, and whether it will be repaired if maintenance is needed in the future. affected."

Ge Linyue immediately said: "We have learned about some situations and have made plans to deal with them. No matter whether Apple will have to join the alliance due to some pressure in the future, or what policies the alliance has introduced. But for the University of Sports For the chip research center project, we will always carry out follow-up maintenance in accordance with the contract. To this end, we have planned to establish a mechanical maintenance company near China and hire mature maintenance engineers for related instrument products.

However, Mr. Cook also regrets to inform you that in view of the uncertainty of the development of the situation. Apple’s support for Huaxia Yanbei Sports University at the semiconductor level will also be limited to the cooperation agreement we signed before. In the future, it will be difficult for me to provide follow-up services beyond those agreed in this previous agreement. I hope you can understand this, Mr. Ning. "

Ning Ji nodded slightly and said: "Well, I can understand. In fact, it is quite difficult for Apple. After all, you also need to use the patents of companies such as Qualcomm, Google, Intel, and Microsoft. If you don't follow their steps, you will indeed be vulnerable to trouble. Help me tell Mr. Cook that I am very satisfied that he can withstand the pressure and maintain the content of the agreement we signed before. After the last batch of equipment is put on the shelves in the R\u0026D center, I will also upgrade the Siri system for Apple as agreed .”

Hearing Ning Zi's answer, Ge Linyue was obviously relieved, as long as Ning Zi still accepted the contract and performed the work. It's tiring to deal with a scholar like Ning Zi. The other party is not a company. If you really want to turn against him, it will be very troublesome.

Especially after seeing Ning Zi's willful side, Ge Linyue was extremely afraid of Ning Zi.

Of course Tim Cook probably thinks so too.

That's why Ge Linyue was asked to talk to Ning Zi first, and he called Ning Zi to talk about this matter. After all, if Tim Cook talks to Ning Jie in person and the talks collapse, there will be no room for relaxation between the two parties. Apple can't take back the R\u0026D center that has been built.

"Mr. Cook means the same thing, and thank you very much for understanding our difficulties. Ning Zi, let me toast you." Ge Linyue picked up the wine glass and said.

"Um... Mr. Ge, you know that I don't drink, so I drink tea instead of wine. And doing things according to the contract is what we should do. Again, as long as Apple guarantees the construction of the chip R\u0026D center in accordance with the previous contract As for the progress and future equipment maintenance, I will definitely provide you with corresponding technical and maintenance services as agreed. Everyone follows the contract, and as for the future, we will talk about it in the future."

After saying that, Ning Zi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Ge Dongshu, who had been quietly listening to the communication between the two.

"Mr. Ge, you should have a rough idea of ​​what Manager Ge just said. I also talked about this with you yesterday. Originally, in my idea, Youwei and Apple could really divide the global high-end smartphone market. However, after a series of policies of the Semiconductor Alliance are implemented, Youwei Group will face great difficulties if it wants to compete with Apple in the next high-end mobile phone market. So I still have the opinion that Youwei Group can take the initiative to give up the competition with Apple first. In about two to three years, Youwei Group will launch another dimensionality reduction attack on Apple's products, what do you think?"

When these words were spoken, Ge Linyue and Ge Dongshu were stunned at the same time.

How should I put it? There is probably no one who can make two competitors feel that this guy is too willful at the same time.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed behind your back?

Yes, this question made Ge Dongshu confused.

It seemed like nothing he said was right.

After pondering for a moment, Ge Dongshu slowly said: "Um... we at Youwei never regard our friends and businessmen as enemies, but if there is an opportunity to focus on and improve ourselves and cultivate our internal strength, we will still seize it. living."

"Um!"

Ning Zi nodded and said: "Actually, I also know what you mean by coming to the capital. It is not easy for Youwei Group to temporarily abandon the field where it has previously spent a lot of money to pursue a completely unfamiliar direction. It is indeed difficult to make up one's mind. However, pain is inevitable if you want to develop, and science and technology can also be broken and rebuilt. As long as they can't stop us this time, the next step will be smooth. It is nothing more than bypassing their patents. It’s just our own chip, we’re just making our own products.”

After hearing these words, Ge Dongshu understood clearly and stopped talking.

Ge Linyue finally couldn't help it anymore and said, "Ning Ji, do you plan to take Youwei Group to research new chip technology?"

Ning Zi nodded and said: "Yes, I will leave the market to you for the time being. When will we make a usable chip, we will then use the next generation of equipment to compete with Apple. Congratulations, Manager Ge, you have a head start." "

The expression on Ge Linyue's face was a little complicated.

To be honest, she really didn't know where Ning Zi's self-confidence came from.

From design to manufacturing, a chip is an extremely complex system. Involving almost all industrial powers in the world.

It can be said that the smartest group of people in the world supports the entire upstream and downstream semiconductor industry chain.

Youwei Group has spent several years and huge investment, but has only achieved some results in the field of chip design. But it has no production capacity itself.

Now according to Ning Zi, it seems that he will be able to produce chips on his own within two or three years with Youwei Group...

Let her not know how to evaluate.

In fact, Ge Linyue really wanted to tell Ning Ji that industrial upgrading is not as simple as solving a mathematical problem. It involves too many special and detailed things. For a certain tiny accessory, the yield rate can be increased by 1%. It took countless people's efforts to succeed.

But she obviously didn't have the position to say this.

In the end, I could only choose not to express my opinion and start changing the topic.

Ge Linyue had nothing to say, and Ge Dongshu would certainly not mention it.

Although he didn't know what Ning Zi's purpose was in asking him to attend today's dinner, the content of the chat just now was obviously not on point, letting him know that Ning Zi was sure of his own thoughts, so he naturally wanted to speak less and make fewer mistakes at this time.

Ning Zi knew very well that he was not here to talk about chip manufacturing, but to get involved in the field of robotics. But since Ning Zi didn't take the initiative to bring up this topic, he naturally wouldn't say anything more in front of Ge Linyue.

Fortunately, both Ge Linyue and Ge Dongshu are well-informed people and can always find many suitable topics to keep the atmosphere at the dinner table from being too boring.

After finishing the meal, Ning Zi suddenly felt that the two of them were quite a match.

Especially since I was born in technology, I can not only chat and exchange work, but also exchange a few words even about some very professional technical content. There is no need to worry about not having a common language after marriage.

…

After finishing the meal, Ge Linyue, who had completed the task, did not stay in Doryu Ningjie. He arrived at the door of the hotel and left first.

The afternoon belonged to Ge Dongshu, who had made an appointment with Ning Zi.

"Where to sit?"

"My office."

"Okay, shall we take a car?"

"Just take a walk."

"good."

After a simple conversation, the two walked out of the hotel and walked in the direction of Ti Da.

Before taking two steps, Ning Zi suddenly said: "I remember you said last time that you haven't been looking for someone since your divorce. The manager Ge just now seems to be single as well."

"Uh...huh?" Ge Dongshu looked at Ning Zi inexplicably.

"Didn't you tell me last time that you divorced because you were too busy and couldn't leave home every day, and your sister-in-law couldn't bear it? I thought about it, and if you find someone who is also very busy, we can all understand each other."

"Well, brother, why don't we talk about robots."
