Wan Feng turned to Shaminov and said, "I want to hire Alexei for a period of time, two years! What do you think, Shabilov?"
Shaminov glared at him and said, "If you call me Shabilov again, I'll throw you into the river!"
"Tsk! Just because I can't beat Alexi doesn't mean I can't beat you. Do you want to give it a try?"
Shaminov was out of breath. Judging from the skills of Wan Feng and Alexei just now, he would definitely not be able to beat him.
Of course Wan Feng had no objection to hiring Alexey Shaminov.
"Alex, do you have any comments?"
Alexei hesitated. "I really don't want to go far away. I'm over fifty now, and I might die someday. Dying out there isn't my dream."
"Bah! What the hell are you talking about! You can live another twenty or thirty years and it will be easy. I hired you to protect Li Mingze. Then I'll find someone who used to work at Tuerqi, preferably someone from KGB, preferably Yan Zi."
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, those KGBs became homeless. Without jobs, they had no income. The men became gangsters, and some of the swallows became prostitutes.
So it’s not difficult to find such people now.
"I will give you 500,000 Mi Yuan in activity funds per year, and I will give you a reward of 1 million Mi Yuan after the work is done."
Wait! In two months, the Chinese currency will depreciate significantly. Damn, one million Mi Yuan will be more than eight million Chinese currency by then.
It's over, I gave too much money.
There is nothing we can do about it. Once words are spoken, they are gone. That's all there is to it.
After much hesitation, Alexei finally accepted Wan Feng's task. It was not Wan Feng's business what kind of bodyguard team Alexei would form next. He would not be responsible for anything after paying the money.
Finally, Wan Feng made a final statement to Li Mingze.
"Alexi will lead your protection. He will assemble his own team of bodyguards, and his team will assist you in locating KGB agents who have worked in Turkic. Once you find such individuals, please contact me immediately. I have a mission for them."
Li Mingze was a little confused: "Boss Wan! Why do you keep mentioning Tuerqi? What does this have to do with your purchase of a boat?"
"You don't need to ask that. I have my plan. Just follow it."
Wan Feng gave this year's activity funds to Li Mingze and Alexi, and then returned to Jiangwei.
Wan Feng's trip was hurried, coming and going, but it still took more than ten days.
It would be mid-February when he arrived.
As soon as he returned to Jiangwei, he heard a piece of news that was good news for others but a bit bitter for him.
Cheng Gong designed the Huaguang No. 1 chip and was waiting for his approval to go to Shanghai for tape-out.
Cheng Gong's chip integrates more than 2.4 million transistors, has a clock frequency of 40MHz, and uses a one-micron manufacturing process.
This chip completely surpassed Intel's 486 chip.
It took Intel four years and $300 million to develop the 486 chip.
Cheng Gong spent a year and a half and spent a total of about 30 million Chinese yuan to design it. If the tape-out goes smoothly, another 20 million yuan will be spent to put it into production.
It must be said that the work efficiency of Cheng Gong's team is much higher than that of foreigners.
But this is not good news for Wan Feng.
The reason why Wan Feng feels bitter is that Intel's Pentium processor will be released in March.
The first generation of Intel integrated more than three million transistors, used dual-channel technology, and a 0.5-micron manufacturing process, which far exceeded the performance of Huaguang No. 1.
This is one of the reasons.
Another reason is that Cheng Gong's Huaguang No. 1 actually developed its own instruction set.
The so-called instruction set is a set of standards for communication between chip hardware and underlying software code.
A more detailed explanation is that the corresponding software operating system, running on the corresponding chip through the corresponding instruction set, can achieve the best effect.
Therefore, the instruction set and the operating system can form an ecological alliance that is difficult for other players to break.
Just like a ship is only useful when it runs on water, it is useless if it runs on land.
Cheng Gong's chip has formed its own set of standards because it uses its own instruction set.
Strictly speaking, it cannot be applied to the upcoming version of Microsoft's "Plague of Death".
If this chip is to be used, it will have to develop its own operating system or even software application. Now this chip is a useless waste without an operating system that matches it.
But it cannot be said to be useless. If the Internet develops in the future and the military finds that the US Internet has problems and is unsafe, it will have to design its own separate local area network.
If this chip could have its own independent operating system at this time, it might be adopted by the military.
But this is a project that costs a lot of money but may not bring any returns. Should I let Cheng Gong continue with it?
"Engineer Cheng! This chip requires us to develop our own operating system and application software. I'm afraid we can't do that for the time being."
"I've thought about this. I'll let Xu Meilin complete this task after she finishes her university studies."
"She? Engineer Cheng! Is this bullshit?"
Cheng Gong smiled slightly: "No kidding! She can definitely do it. I found that her brain is born for this. She can definitely do it."
It is true that Xu Meilin is talented in this area, but how could she receive such high praise from Cheng Gong?
It's incredible.
"Cheng Gong! It'll take her two years to finish university, and this chip can't sit idle, right? Can you modify it so it works with the X86 instruction set?"
Cheng Gong shook his head. "We don't have Intel's authorization. They didn't take Hope No. 2 seriously last time. If this gets out of hand, they'll probably forbid us from using it. Wouldn't that make them even more furious?"
That makes sense.
Starting in 1985, in order to join the World Trade Organization, China began to align with the international standards in many aspects, and intellectual property rights were one of the first things to be aligned.
No one will care what you develop now, but when you really implement it, people will show you their true colors.
All you can do is negotiate with them and then sign an unequal treaty, where the bulk of the profits are taken away by them.
Wan Feng didn't want this to happen, but he couldn't change the reality.
Unless he can make Plague Death 95 before Plague Death.
This is obviously unrealistic. Not to mention that it cannot be done, even if you do it, the Western world will not allow your system to become a standard. It would be strange if they would hand over such a deadly thing to a socialist country.
Alas! No road is smooth, each one is full of thorns.
It seems that we can only make technical reserves and wait for the day when the country needs it.
