Chapter 777 Claim for 60 million
“There is no problem with other components, it’s just the processor that’s faulty!”
“Replace the original processor!”
After replacing it, nothing else moved except the fan.
“Exchange parts to other computers.”
“The memory is corrupted.”
“The graphics card is also broken.”
“The motherboard must be broken as well. There is no correct waveform in the oscilloscope.”
The technical director’s eyes turned red: “Take apart the processor!”
How to disassemble the processor? Of course it's open!
Computer processor chips have developed over the years and have undergone many changes in packaging forms. Today's processor chips are packaged in conventional PGA packages with a copper cover on them. In the hands of computer players, they are A new project: uncapping.
Use a CPU cover opener to open the top cover, and then replace the silicone grease on the wafer with liquid gold to further improve the heat dissipation performance of the CPU, thus avoiding crashes during overclocking. Of course, some people will also open the cover by opening the cover. way, swap your cheap I3 processor with your classmate’s high-end I9 processor.
Now, of course, they opened the cover to check what's weird inside this processor. Why does it burn the motherboard, the graphics card, the memory, and maybe the hard drive when plugging it in?
Soon, the top cover of the processor was opened. There was no thermal grease inside, and the internal circuit could be easily seen.
There is no chip inside, only a substrate with a few wires connected inside. Obviously the welding quality is not very good, and there is some rosin that has not been dried. It is a completely shoddy product.
“Bring me the pin diagram of the processor!” the technical director shouted. He had already guessed something, and now it was time to verify it.
“Pin 27 is the memory data pin. This pin is connected to the 5V power supply!”
“Pin 138, the graphics card data cable pin, is connected to the 12-volt power supply!”
“Damn, this is a trap, a trap! Immediately notify all computers that leave the factory, they cannot be connected to the power supply, and must not be turned on!”
It’s a pity it’s too late!
They have wasted the most precious time. When the phone call came, the customers were angry, your computer has quality problems!
Computers that were still being snatched up have now become poison.
When Liu Zhonglie received the call and rushed to Dell's headquarters, he was greeted by extremely angry faces.
“Liu, you idiot!”
"What's wrong? Mr. Bill?" Liu Zhonglie was very curious. He didn't even know what happened. The other party just asked him to come over as soon as possible, so he came over. He thought it was the follow-up purchase of Loongson-3, but he didn't The thought of it was followed by a burst of scolding.
“Look, what’s going on?” Bill dropped the unsealed processor in front of him, not worrying about the processor breaking.
The lower leg has become curved. Liu Zhonglie, who was confused, took it over curiously. When he saw the circuit on the substrate clearly, his expression changed drastically: "Why, how could this happen?"
“Humph, the 20,000 processors you gave us are all products of this kind, and they all have problems!”
Liu Zhonglie already understood something: "Am I being fooled?"
It was obvious that he had been tricked. Everything was planned by the Mingzhou Group and he just jumped in. No wonder the processors in a container were lost and people were not in a hurry. I originally thought they were afraid of being affected. So I didn't dare to say anything. It turned out that people didn't take this seriously at all!
A truckload of processors is expensive. If it is a truckload of defective products, how much money can there be? These **** guys, in order to harm him, actually produced a batch of fake and shoddy processors!
"I, I, I..." Liu Zhonglie didn't know what to say. His mind was spinning: "Everyone, I was cheated this time. I am willing to refund all your purchase money."
Refund everything?
Bill's eyes were gloomy: "This cannot be solved by refunding the purchase price. Our motherboard, graphics card, memory and hard drive are all burned. A processor costs three hundred dollars. The total of all the burned parts exceeds a thousand dollars." , a total of 20,000 computers, Liu, this time we caused a loss of 20 million US dollars, what do you think we should do?"
Sweat suddenly broke out on Liu Zhonglie's forehead. He couldn't afford the compensation even if he sold all his items!
"Now, our customers are still claiming from us. According to our market rules, we provided substandard computers. If they are fake, we will compensate you three percent. We need to compensate you for 60 million US dollars. Liu, you need to pay for this money!" "
Twenty million dollars is too much to pay, 60 million dollars? Liu Zhonglie gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry, we don't think we can compensate so much money, we, we filed for bankruptcy!"
The Western world is good. If you can't afford the compensation, you can go bankrupt directly. What about the interests of creditors? You can't force someone who owes money to death, right? The East is not so good now. If you don't pay back the money you owe, you will go to jail directly. Of course, in the future, we will also develop in the West, and even personal bankruptcy laws will be introduced. Even one's only home cannot be moved, and the old man is very comfortable.
Now, Liu Zhonglie couldn't afford to pay any compensation anyway, so he might as well just let L want to go bankrupt.
"Bankruptcy?" Bill's eyes showed a fierce look: "It's no problem for you to go bankrupt, but do you think you can walk out of our company headquarters?"
Liu Zhonglie shuddered.
In this land known for its freedom, shootings occur every day. It doesn’t matter if a few people die. If the people who die are Easterners, no one will take care of them. If Liu Zhongyeol wants to show off, then It's impossible to leave here alive.
But he can’t afford to pay for it!
He was really going to cry.
“Everyone, we would like to be purchased by you for zero yuan as compensation. Is this okay?”
Zero dollar acquisition? Bill shook his head: "You can't make the decision."
"Then it's okay to say that our company is not doing well and is about to go bankrupt, and then be acquired by you, right? Even that won't work. Then our overseas assets that L wants can be acquired through your government." Liu Zhongyeol said in order to If you want to survive on your own, all kinds of interests can be sold.
"This matter is all caused by Loongson Company. I am willing to join your company and fight against Loongson Company wholeheartedly from now on! We all will not have a good life as long as they are here. I know Gong Ni, and I will have a way to deal with him!"
“Is there a way? What way?”
Liu Zhonglie's mind was spinning rapidly, and then he thought of something: "We will repackage these processors and put them on the market. After other customers are fooled, they will naturally go to Loongson Company for trouble and directly seek compensation from Loongson Company! This way! Not only will it cost them a lot of money, but it will also damage their reputation!”
Bill's eyes lit up, this method sounded pretty good!
At this moment, someone walked in.
“Just now, Loongson Corporation issued a statement.”
“What statement?”
"They have noticed that with the hot sales of Loongson, fake Loongson 3 products have begun to appear on the market. They have improved the anti-counterfeiting technology of Loongson 3. Each processor has been given a brand new number. Users can After unpacking, you need to enter the number on the official website of Loongson Company as soon as possible to know when it was produced, when it left the factory, and how many times it was queried. If there is no number information, or it is not the first time you queried it, then It means there is a problem with the processor. They also support phone inquiries..."
Since the other party has taken the game, of course they have designed all this, how can they still have a chance to make a comeback? This batch of processors can only be smashed into their own hands!
“Also, they said there was an easier way to check the authenticity.”
"what way?"
“Check the processor pins to see if there are any signs of use.”
This set of anti-counterfeiting equipment is simply tailor-made for their batch of goods! This batch of goods has been used completely. As long as the CPU socket is connected and then unplugged, there will always be some traces left behind that will be recognized by others at a glance.
How can they put this batch of goods on the market as new and damage the reputation of Loongson Company?
Loongson Company.
Mr. Ni was very emotional: "Mr. Qin, our plan this time is very successful. The computer company on the other side of the ocean has lost tens of millions of dollars. With the current size of Lxiang Company, the most it can compensate the other party is a few million. Now, L thought there was no other choice but to close down.”
Mr. Ni shook his head: "At the beginning, when I joined L, it was to engage in technology. I hoped that the company would make money and invest more money in technology. However, they only wanted to engage in business and make money. They just wanted to do it. If we don’t think about technology, such a company should have closed down long ago.”
Mr. Ni was very emotional.
Now that he already owns Loongson Company, he has no idea about L Xiang. It would be best if it goes bankrupt.
Qin Tao nodded: "If you don't have technology, you will always be ridden by others, and others will stop supplying you at any time. Only by mastering real technology can you stand in this era. Only in this way can we realize the mission of the great rejuvenation of our nation. .”
“Mr. Qin, since you are here, let’s attend the press conference of our Loongson-4 together.”
Qin Tao nodded: "That's natural."
The robbery of Loongson-3 and the subsequent trapping of the robbers were nothing more than a small splash in the history of Loongson’s development. Times will abandon those who are not enterprising, and only those who work hard will be remembered.
Now that Loongson 4 is about to be officially released, the powerful processor manufacturers of the past will be trampled under their feet.
"Huang Lao, are you coming with me?" Qin Tao said to the people inside when passing by an office.
As before, Huang Lao was still staring at the complicated circuit diagram on the computer screen. However, the computer in front of her was already the latest, and the monitor was also an extra-large LCD, which made it easier to read the circuit diagram.
“No, you go ahead. Loongson 4 has just begun. It needs to continue to be improved. I’m studying the memory controller.”
"Huang Lao, you are over sixty years old, so you don't have to work so hard." Qin Tao looked at Huang Lao with white hair and her thin body, and he couldn't bear it.
"I can still work for the motherland until I am eighty years old. Loongson 4 is just a new beginning, not the end. In the future, there will be Loongson 5 and Loongson 6. I will strive to work until I can reach Loongson 8." Mr. Huang smiled. Said: "I won't go to the press conference, but I will definitely go to the celebration banquet in the evening."
“Okay.” Qin Tao nodded.
"At the beginning, this place was still a large open space. We, Loongson Corporation and SMIC, only started construction when they moved here. But now, this place has been completely developed and has become a high-tech park for us." In the car, Mr. Ni pointed around and said to Qin Tao.
Buildings are rising one after another. Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park is developing at a rapid pace in the East. Almost all companies, large and small, are high-tech.
While passing by a building, a big sign caught Qin Tao's attention: "Fantasy Literature Association?"
"Well, this is an association organized by people who write novels on the Internet. Some of their novels are relatively famous, but I don't have time to read them. I just heard them talk about them." Mr. Ni said.
Qin Tao nodded: "Next, let Goose Factory acquire this Fantasy Literature Association."
"Acquisition? What's the purpose of acquisition?" Zhao Ling asked curiously.
“Of course we have to open a website, a website dedicated to reading, and this website still has to be charged.” Qin Tao said: “We want to make our online literature bigger and stronger and become a model for our cultural output.”
Look now, there are McDonald’s and KFC all over the streets, everyone is shouting Disney, watching foreign cartoons, and wearing Western clothes. These are all cultural invasions!
If Eastern literature wants to be exported to the West, it must develop in a healthy way and make money in a nutshell. The only way to do that is online literature.
“Okay, you can leave this matter to Goose Factory.” Zhao Ling said: “What is the name of this website?”
“Let’s call it QiDian Chinese Internet Cafe! Let Goose Factory focus on supporting it, and we must work hard to open it to the West!”
For Qin Tao, this is just an episode. Of course he knows that the Singularity Chinese website will become an important spiritual food for the Internet in the future. Before the Internet speed was fast enough to transmit videos, Internet literature was the most popular online activity. When a person surfs the Internet, he will inevitably open the Singularity Chinese website and read the most exciting novels there. What if the novels are not exciting? Then write it yourself.
The car drove to Huating Hotel, where the press conference of Loongson 4 was held.
“Mr. Qin, there have been serious quality problems recently with the computers produced by Dell. Is this related to Loongson?”
“Mr. Qin, as a high-tech enterprise, why don’t you and L want to join forces to become bigger and stronger together?”
As soon as they got off the bus, a group of reporters surrounded Qin Tao and others.
Qin Tao looked around and knew who was causing trouble.
Liu Zhonglie cannot come back from the other side of the ocean, and Yang Qingfeng is still there. He must be seeking revenge and deliberately instigating reporters here, but it’s okay to take this opportunity to say what needs to be said.
"Everyone, the reason why our Mingzhou Group wants to support Loongson Company is because the country's self-proclaimed largest computer company has no vision and is short-sighted. They are not a high-tech company, they are just a commercial company, and they only have profits in their eyes." Qin Tao was unceremonious.
"If we want to develop the high-tech industry, we must develop the chip industry. However, some companies only want to buy, buy, buy, sell at high prices and make money. The money they earn goes into their own pockets. They simply don't We don't want to think about how to develop our technology!" Qin Tao looked at the reporter: "Our Mingzhou Group was originally a shipbuilder, but we can't stand this kind of behavior, so we have to end it ourselves."
“Mr. Qin, didn’t you say that science and technology has no borders?”
“Yes, it is true that technology has no borders. Now, we still support technology without borders. Other companies do not need to produce processors and can just use our Loongson. This is the perfect embodiment of technology without borders.”
“Mr. Qin, what will you do next? Will you acquire L Xiang? Now that their company has failed, there is a huge compensation waiting for them.”
“Yes, after all, they are all our domestic enterprises.”
"Domestic companies? Is that so? Look at how their companies are named? I miss China! Any Chinese company will put China in the front and the company in the back! They are not our Chinese companies! Now , I would rather the relevant departments investigate how a company originally affiliated with Computers could become such an enterprise! Someone needs to be held responsible for this serious loss of state-owned assets!"
In the dark, Yang Qingfeng knew that this matter was a mess. Tomorrow's newspapers and public opinion would definitely comment on the dirty things they did during the development process.
After saying these words, Qin Tao took big steps and walked in.
Mr. Ni followed Qin Tao and walked inside. For some reason, he felt very refreshed today.
At first, he was squeezed out of the L-idea. The Hanka he developed was the basis of the L-idea. But in the end, he, the founder, was squeezed out. But now, he no longer cares about the gains and losses in the past. He has After developing Godson, he has reached the pinnacle of being the strongest in the world!
The conference site has been arranged for a long time, with red satin rolled up around it. It looks like a flying dragon. The booth is not big. There is a table on it, and there is a square glass box on the table. But now outside Covered with red cloth, the contents inside could not be seen for the time being.
The totem of technology has changed from the surging molten steel and the giant 10,000-ton hydraulic press to a small chip. In this field, the country has lagged behind for more than ten years, but now, it has finally caught up and started. Beyond!
“Welcome to the press conference of Loongson-4.” Mr. Ni looked at the guests and the large number of reporters below with great emotion.
"We at Loongson are taking it one step at a time. It is not easy to get to where we are now. First of all, before the press conference, let us thank Mingzhou Group and Mr. Qin. Without their strong support, we would not have today's great achievements in the chip field." Mr. Ni said: "I think not only our chip industry, aviation industry, construction industry, etc. will all be grateful to Mr. Qin and Mingzhou Group."
Qin Tao smiled below. In fact, for a long time, Mingzhou Group has always been behind Godson and has no intention of coming to the front. However, now Godson has become the strongest and does not care about the outside world at all. It’s time to show off your sword.
“Everyone, today is the launch conference of Loongson-4. Let’s first introduce the parameters of Loongson-4.” Behind Mr. Ni, an LCD screen displayed the parameters.
The tape-out has been successful for a long time, and various friends have also obtained samples of Loongson 4. However, it has not been officially announced to the outside world.
“Starting frequency 1.7G Hz? Isn’t this too powerful?”
“Yes, what does dual-core mean? Are there two cores in it?”
Everyone was surprised when they looked at the content displayed above.
"We started using dual CPUs in the Loongson 1 era, so that we can better perform multi-tasking. This tradition has been passed down. Now, in our Loongson 4, we directly put the two cores together. Using one Loongson 4 is equivalent to using two processors." Mr. Ni introduced to everyone: "The starting frequency is 1.7G Hz, and higher frequency versions will be launched in the future. However, we believe that simply pursuing frequency It doesn’t make much sense, we value its multitasking capabilities more.”
The reporters were in a stir.
Since the emergence of personal processors, frequency improvements have been constantly pursued. From the initial 4 MHz to the current G Hz, is there an end to the development of frequency?
The answer is yes! There is no need to pursue computing speed, it is more important to pursue multitasking!
“We will cooperate with DDR memory to improve the computer’s multi-tasking capabilities and make it better used in work and life.”
After Mr. Ni finished introducing the various functions of the processor, he strode over and lifted up the red silk cloth covering the processor.
A processor appeared in a glass box, reflecting dazzling light under the light.
Mr. Ni put his hand in and took out the processor. When he raised his hand in the air, the camera clicked.
“Everyone, this is our Loongson 4 processor! The most powerful general-purpose processor in the world!”
