"Rebirth is like flowing years (

February 24, the ninth day of the first lunar month.

Qi Lei has been squatting downstairs in the Imagination headquarters in Zhongguancun for two days under the dry wind in Beijing.

He didn't have Nan Guanghong's contact information, and he didn't even dare to call Imagine to get rid of him. You can only use the most stupid method and wait here to die.

Anyway, he knows that even if Nan Guanghong leaves Imagine, he will be resigned from the headquarters, right?

...

Although the capital of 1999 is not as good as later generations, it has a prosperous appearance. The constant flow of traffic is comparable to the towering skyscrapers of this era.

Qi Lei seems to be in a concrete forest. To describe it in terms of this era, this is a modern city.

On the contrary, Qi Lei, who came from a small place no one knew about, wrapped in a military coat bought from a small shop on the road, was like a young migrant worker who had just entered the city, curled up, staring around with blank but vacant eyes.

In Zhongguancun, which can be said to be the forefront of domestic science and technology, it seems a bit rustic and out of place.

Surrounded by ‘elite people’ in a hurry, carrying expensive laptops and holding mobile phones that are hard to see in small places, the shining in the eyes and the talking in the mouth are the future.

In the meantime, Qi Lei was hit by someone, and the elder brother who hit the person frowned. Without a word, he hurried on the road.

Qi Lei was wrapped in a military coat and stomped his legs, barely holding half of a pancake fruit in his hand, and then standing a cardboard in front of him——Xiaogong, thirty.

...

When Nan Guanghong returned from Harbin to Beijing, he was not in a hurry to go to the headquarters, but calmed down behind closed doors at home.

The pain of failure and the harsh words of the young man in the north have cursed Qi Lei countless times in his heart.

After holding back for two days, I finally regained my heavy heart and prepared to go to the headquarters.

After all, what should end is still going to end.

When he came to the headquarters, Nan Guanghong stood in the wind and looked up at the headquarters building of Imagine, suddenly feeling a kind of literati sadness.

Although it is not a poem, but I also laughed at myself: Should I look at the building with red eyes?

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, but it was fun in bitterness.

Just thinking, "Old Nan!?"

"!!!" This sound scared Nan Guanghong, and he lost his mood.

When he tilted his head to see, where did the wild boy come from?

Out of courtesy: "You are..."

"Old Nan, don't you know?" The young man's voice was excited, as if he saw his relatives, "Me!!!"

"me!"

Old Nan took a good look, well, familiar.

Look at it again, "!!! Are you not?"

He recognized, isn't this the insane little boss of Three Stones Company?

"you!"

"Old Nan!" Qi Lei was so excited, but waiting so much, I almost became a "Wang Fu Shi".

"Lao Nan, I have been waiting for you for two days! Find a place to chat? Have a chat?"

"Let's talk!"

Nan Guanghong's face was green: "..."

While angry, he was also curious. My heart said, where did this kid jump out?

...

——————

A quarter of an hour later, an entrepreneurial coffee shop in Zhongguancun.

This is a unique scenery in Zhongguancun, with a small street shop with a very emotional decoration.

But here are not young men and women with petty bourgeoisie, but IT entrepreneurs with dreams.

They have just graduated from university, immature and passionate. They have no funds, no office, and no team. They only have enthusiasm and longing for the domestic IT industry.

So, this is their best office location.

Half a table and a notebook is where the dream begins.

When Qi Lei and Nan Lao came in, there was a small commotion.

As entrepreneurs who have been in Zhongguancun for many years and have applied for no results in major companies, Nan Guanghong is not an unfamiliar name, and it is not that no one has seen the true face.

When I learned from the "Peer" that it was Nan Guanghong, I naturally wanted to worship and watch, and some people even stepped forward to ask Lao Nan to sign as a souvenir.

In this regard, Nan Guanghong is in no mood, but it is difficult to be kind but not easy to refuse.

Qi Lei waited quietly by the side, and waited until Mr. Nan was no longer disturbed. Then he found a corner with no one to sit down and ordered two cups of espresso coffee.

Well, it specializes in espresso coffee, all you want is the excitement that is so bitter to the bones.

Sitting opposite Nan Lao, they are silent.

At this time, the young people's passion has passed, and they no longer come to bother, just curious, who is the turtle in the army coat?

Especially one of the glasses man, if he remembers correctly, it was this man who hit him just now on the way here.

...

Others are looking at this side, and the old Nan and Qi Lei here are also looking at these young people.

Qi Lei even sighed that among those people, maybe the founder of a future unicorn company was hidden.

It is said that the executives of those big companies in later generations, and the founders of game companies, all walked out of the entrepreneurial cafe.

It's a pity that I don't know any of them, otherwise I can flicker back a few.

Then I thought, are Dong Ge and Jack Ma also mixed in Zhongguancun at this point in time?

If you can meet him, Qi Lei will definitely vote for them.

Nan Guanghong looked at the young people and sighed, "What a nice young man! What a pity, I'm getting old!"

Qi Lei retracted his gaze and smiled indifferently: "Young people have the energy of young people, and old people have the same things as old people!"

Nan Guanghong squinted at him, "Let's talk, why did you suddenly appear here? Still dressed like this?"

Compared with the young people here, Qi Lei is the most successful one, because he is already a successful entrepreneur.

Only Wen Qi Lei replied, "I am taking your next flight to Beijing. I have been waiting for you for two days in Imagination."

Old Nan: "..."

"wait for me?"

"Yes, waiting for you!"

"Wait for me what to do?"

Qi Lei thought for a while, "Can this allow me to leave a suspense?"

Nan Guanghong smiled bitterly. To be honest, he didn't want to talk to this young man, he was angry!

However, since he has already come, and he is also curious, what is the reason for this young man to chase the capital from Longjiang Province.

Jokingly said: "Then what do you want to say before you reveal the suspense?"

"call…"

Qi Lei took a deep breath and got serious, "First, I'm seventeen years old and I'm still in high school."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Not only was Nan Guanghong stunned, but the "entrepreneurial pioneers" over there were also stagnant.

Well, don't look at them as if they are still discussing the future and discussing technology, but Nan Guanghong is sitting there, how can he not have many ears?

Why wait for you for two days, take the next class to the capital, there are still seventeen! ?

This is a bit interesting.

Old Nan: "..."

Nan Guanghong of course knew that Qi Lei was not old, but he didn't expect that he would not be so old.

Originally, he thought he was at least twenty years old. Like Zhao Na, he was a university entrepreneur.

But now, what is it? High school student! ?

Nan Guanghong's eyes rounded, "Seventeen?"

"Yes!" Qi Lei nodded solemnly, "I think it is necessary to let you know this before we start talking."

Continued: "My age is very young, so it is easy to be despised, and even misunderstood that I am too young to succeed."

"But in fact, my grandfather is an old Red Army. My father, uncle, and aunt, some of them are in politics, some are in business, and all have success. My family environment from a young age makes me more mature than normal children. At one point, it is also early to get in touch with some new things and business behaviors."

"So, I hope Mr. Nan will not treat me as a child during the next time. Otherwise, you may suffer."

Nan Guanghong: "..." It's sixty, and I ran into this kind of wonderful work the first time.

People eating melons: "..."

Te Niang, **** rich second generation!

...

Seeing Nan Lao stupefied for a moment, he came back to his senses. Looking up at the young people over there, he smiled bitterly, "They are also a few years older than you. This industry is originally your young people."

Qi Lei nodded, "You are right to think so."

Continued: "There is a second point."

"When you go to our company, even if I agree to your request, without saying those hurtful things, you have a high chance of being kicked out of the Imagine Group, let alone realizing your ambitions!"

"Oh?" Old Nan raised his eyebrows, "how do you tell?"

Qi Lei, "In fact, your existence is for imagination. It is no longer a battle between technology and trade. It is because some people don't want the background of state-owned assets to continue to dominate imagination."

Old Nan: "!!!"

Now, he doesn't think of Qi Lei as a kid at all.

No one dares to mention this factor, and few people know about it.

Outsiders can only imagine that it is a dispute between technology, industry and trade and trade, industry and technology, but in fact, just as Qi Lei said.

Let's put it this way, Imagine Group was established in 1984, and the original company name was New Technology Development Company, Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It belongs to an attempt by the Institute of Computer Science and Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to transfer technology to commercialization.

As a researcher at the Institute of Computer Science, Mr. Nan presided over the research and development of the "LX-80 Associative Chinese Character Graphic Microcomputer System" and was also invited to become the chief engineer of Imagine.

Then, in 1988, one of the early founders of Imagine, Liu Jixiang, a researcher at the Institute of Planning and Research, took part of the company and 300,000 Hong Kong dollars to Hong Kong to establish Imagine Hong Kong and started trading.

This is Imagine's second attempt. Self-developed models and a trader are walking on two legs.

However, Beijing Imagine's performance was mediocre in the following days, but Hong Kong's Imagine's trade direction was a big success, winning the company's ministerial profits.

In 1997, two years ago, the merger of Beijing Imagination and Hong Kong Imagination was tantamount to a merger of a trading company and a technology company with Guozi head, and disputes would inevitably arise.

Whoever has the final say, the contradiction arising out of it is trade-based or technology-based.

Technology-based, that is, Beijing Imagination has the upper hand.

Trade is the mainstay of Hong Kong Imagination.

In the process, some of the veterans of Beijing companies also began to waver, including Zeng Shengting, the former director of the Computer Research Institute.

After all, in the past ten years, the Beijing company has not achieved much here, but the Hong Kong company has made Imagination the largest in the country.

And a small group of people headed by Nan Guanghong insisted on their opinions, but they also became a minority.

As a result, there was a later situation, a later result.

At this time point, the Institute of Planning and Research was merged into Imagination, with Liu Jixiang as the chairman of the joint board of directors, and the former director of the Institute of Planning and Research Zeng Shengting as the chairman.

Of course Liu wouldn't let Nan Guanghong look up. No matter what.

During the period when Nan Lao was in deep thought, Qi Lei continued, "Liu's goal is to go international. For him, the background of the Institute of Planning and Research is only a domestic passport, but it is a shackles for going international. Not only you, wait for him. He has confidence in the international community, and now the team of the Institute of Planning and Research that supports him will also be eliminated by him."

"Even if you win the experimental field of Three Stone Company, he will probably not let you sow the seeds smoothly. So, you really don't have any hope."

Nan Guanghong: "..."

Qi Lei, "Imagine going internationally, it is an inevitable choice to please Western technology. In other words, the imagining of trade, industry and technology is a foregone conclusion, and you are already powerless!"

Nan Guanghong: "..."

Squinting at Qi Lei, "So, are you defending yourself?"

Qi Lei: "Yes!"

"Does this make any sense?"

Qi Lei suddenly grinned, "In order to get you out of Imagination, I have a chance to start."

Nan Guanghong: "..."

People eating melons: "..."

I saw Qi Lei straighten up, and finally said the most critical sentence: "Lao Nan, I formally invite you to join Three Stones. Please consider it carefully!"

Nan Guanghong: "!!!"

Nan Guanghong was really dumbfounded this time.

wrong! He finally opened his eyes after living for more than sixty years.

At his age, he has never seen such a show operation?

(People who eat melon: We haven't seen it either.)

Inviting people from Imagination, I have a good chance to start...

Is this what a man can tell? What can be done?

The rich second generation is really not a good thing.

And Lao Nan stayed for a while, speechless, then laughed, and finally shook his head, and finally spoke.

"Boy, you can't afford me."

Looking at Qi Lei with a wry smile, "Do you know how much money is needed to raise a system development team? Your small company can't afford it."

To Nan Guanghong's surprise, Qi Lei did not stubbornly refute, but nodded, "I really can't afford it."

Nan Guanghong: "..."

Qi Lei, "To be honest with you, I originally thought that you would have to spend a year and a half in imagining. By that time, Three Stones Company has also completed the original accumulation. Even if the capital is not attractive, it can be such a huge Internet cafe. The size of the terminal makes it impossible for you to remain unmoved when you are old."

"Invite you again at that time, and the chance of success will be great."

A bitter expression: "But I didn't expect you to be so temperamental? Let's resign? Then I can't help it. Knowing that the possibility is unlikely, but I have to try it, so I ran. chant!"

Nan Guanghong, "..." Qi Lei said no more, this kid frankly left him speechless.

Seemingly infected by Qi Lei’s talk and laughter, he suddenly jumped out, "What's the matter? I want to stay for another half a year?"

Qi Lei grinned, "No. It's a little harder now, you can just leave me alone?"

Nan Guanghong: "..." It's so shameless.

(The people who eat melons think so too.)

Finally, Nan Guanghong said the truth: "Those are not important. I'm talking about R&D costs. Can you afford it?"

Qi Lei, "I don't know, but I want to try!"

"Try it? Aren't you afraid of being dragged to death?"

"Fear! But still want to try!"

"I'll be honest, you dare to try, but the chance of success is not great."

Qi Lei: "I still want to try!"

Nan Guanghong was speechless again: "Since I know the chance is not big, why dare to try?"

Qi Lei gritted his teeth and pondered for a long while, "Should not be with me in time! Or, in other words, time and the country?"

Nan Guanghong froze for a moment and became serious, "Go on!"

Qi Lei, "Well, I lied to you that day. In fact, I don't think that the number of domestic personal terminals can not catch up with the West. Moreover, on the contrary, this speed will be very fast!"

Nan Guanghong, "Go on!"

"Maybe in ten years, we will be the world's largest consumer market for personal computers."

"This number will grow exponentially. If we don't develop domestically produced systems and software while the consumer market is still in its infancy, there will be no chance. Sooner or later, it will be a major disaster!"

Nan Guanghong: "Do you really think so?"

Qi Lei: "Really!"

"Why?"

Qi Lei, "It's very simple, I'm just a helper to open an Internet cafe, and I signed more than 10,000 computers in half a month. Half a month! Ten thousand!"

"Isn't this amount and time enough to explain the problem? Can't it prove the market's desire for consumption?"

Nan Guanghong nodded, paying more and more attention to Qi Lei's judgment.

But, still speechless, "But, what do you do as an Internet cafe who raises the system team? This matter may not make money."

Qi Lei will not talk about the issue of making money.

"Old Nan, now only those who open Internet cafes can raise a system team!"

"Go on!"

Qi Lei, "Microsoft has risen and its dominance is unshakable. Think about it, who else can do the system?"

"It is no longer possible to rely on the capital market to promote system research and development, and it is not profitable!"

"Software companies rely on windows for profit; those who are not profitable do not have the strength to build systems."

"Internet companies haven't even found their own profit points, and they have no idea about system research and development."

"And the state dominates, on the one hand, there is not enough willingness, and on the other hand, there is no experimental field."

"Only my internet café company can provide funds and have an experimental field."

"Old Nan!" At this point, Qi Lei was full of sincerity and sincere, "Please believe me, believe in a 17-year-old boss, no one except me is willing to do this!"

Nan Guanghong was silent, staring at Qi Lei in a daze, his eyes were bright, as if there was a raging fire.

Neither of them noticed that the needles had already been dropped in the entrepreneurial cafe.

Everyone, the agitated young people stared at the old and the young in amazement.

Nan Guanghong, some people have seen it on TV.

But, who is the old man on the opposite side? ? How do you feel that nothing is true of him?

...

Nan Guanghong had to admit that Qi Lei's words were irrefutable. Except for him, no one has both an experimental field and funds.

Moreover, Qi Lei's tone was extremely sensational, and the few young men not far away would be moved by people's passion if he said that he could not.

However, Nan Guanghong is no longer young. As an old man in sixties, he is more rational.

Looking at Qi Lei's eyes, he remained silent for a while, and finally believed in the determination and courage of this young man.

only……

"Boy, do you know that an operating system has multiple lines of code?"

This Qi Lei is really bad, "Several millions?"

"How many millions?" Nan Guanghong smiled, "Take windows98 as an example, it's estimated to be between 20 and 35 million."

Qi Lei: "..."

"This is an extremely large project, too big for you to imagine."

"Moreover, this must be a bottomless pit. We are developers and have some late-mover advantages, but we can't resist others' first-mover advantages."

"To tell you the truth, in Imagine, my team only has a preliminary architectural idea. It is far from producing results!"

"Even if you start doing it now, it will take at least two years."

Qi Lei frowned, and suddenly said, "Lao Nan, I'll give you five years!"

In Qi Lei's memory, at least until 2004, the main domestic personal computer market was still Internet cafes. As long as it is an Internet cafe, it can be controlled and you can wait.

Nan Guanghong, "..."

Suddenly said: "Okay, five years! It's done! Then what?"

"The foreign market has matured, so let's play at home. Even so, do you want to do it?"

"My boy, your company is doing a good job, don't run into this muddy water."

Now it's just the other way around, it's Nan Guanghong who persuades Qi Lei not to be impulsive.

The significance of the domestic system and software ecology is not in commercial profitability. The system can be made. As long as you invest money and energy, there are foreigners to open the way, and you will learn later, even if it is almost no problem.

If this thing is difficult, those who won’t, it’s not difficult for those who will.

The hard part is commercialization!

After all, the market is already owned by others, and even if you do better than others, no one might be willing to pay for it.

Let’s be blunt, this is the same as the mobile phone system ecology of later generations~lightnovelpub.net~ Hongmeng is a good thing, but no matter how good it is, no matter how advanced it is, it already has the ability to apply in all scenarios, but it is not forced. A dead end, I still dare not use it easily.

Why?

Because there is nothing to do with a system, the difficult thing is the ecology, the millions of apps and app developers on Android.

You can't let these people follow your pace and adapt to a new development platform.

By the same token, the pc system ecology in 1999 is exactly the same.

Microsoft has been cultivating this land for more than ten years, from dos to windows

Except for an Apple ecosystem, all supporting software companies are based on windows. Even if the domestic system is taken out, how can developers use your system as the cornerstone to develop software?

No one develops software to fill the ecosystem, so this system can only be a reserve system.

Therefore, in the eyes of Lao Nan, the strategic significance of the domestic system is greater than the commercial significance, and it can even be said that there is no commercial significance.

This is also the reason why Nan Guanghong is imagining that every day should not, and the ground is not working.

Including the original time trajectory, he has been advocating domestically produced systems and domestically produced chips from his imagination, but there is no main reason for his achievements.

In Nan Guanghong's view, this kind of thing can only be done by imagination.

One is that the volume is there. With billions of dollars in revenue a year, a small amount of money is invested in a small amount of money.

The second is the sense of mission with its own state-owned background.

But Imagination is unwilling to do it, unwilling to take this responsibility.

The three stones...

Such a small company managed by an Internet cafe? A bunch of children’s passions and dreams.

What system do you do? Just earn your little money steadily.
