He spent 500 million developing CPU in 16, but didn't earn 1 cent. He only got a technology purchase deposit of more than 20 million yuan from abroad.
He is the inventor of macro instruction computer (MISC) technology, and holds 19 CPU patents, 8 chip designs and 6 national engineering development projects, but he has never been to university.
He has stood in the dock many times, even in the international court.
He's a genius? Fool? Crazy? Or a liar? Everyone who knows him will have a completely different him in his eyes.
Who is he? "Dosi will definitely achieve income next year." Liu Dali, 52, said hiding in a corner of the family area of Xueyuan Road Petroleum Compound.
Twenty years ago, Liu Dali established a small-scale business entity-Daxing Shengshi Dosi Software Development Department in panggezhuang, Daxing County. One theory is that this is the first private IT enterprise in the history of China.
Sitong, which was later established in Sijiqing Township, has experienced several ups and downs. Duan Yongji was also the "village head" in Zhongguancun for many years, and later Wang Wenjing and others have already become famous billionaires.
Since 1985, Liu Dali's enterprise has never made any money or died. He has the support of a group of paranoid investors, experts and leaders, who are full of confidence in China and want to be his own "CPU". "For high technology, success is accidental and failure is inevitable." Liu took a drag on his cigarette and put the cigarette holder on the table.
In recent years, the accidental success that came out of the inevitable failure has gradually become clear in ambiguity and ambiguity.
200 1, 1, Dose's "physical model of reconfigurable logic circuit" passed the national test. In September 2002, the DOSI MISC 9800 CPU sample passed the test. During the SARS in April 2003, Minister Xu Guanhua of the Ministry of Science and Technology approved the launch of "Non-mainstream Typical Project" of Dosi CPU. In June 2003, the self-developed serial security chips (0 1, 02, 03) were put into small batch production, which were mainly used for high-speed data encryption and decryption equipment such as high-speed routers and gateways.
"Do you know how much demand there is for chips in China?" Liu Dali asked the reporter with wide eyes, "100000 yuan, what benefit is this, but there is no security chip in China." Two years ago, when experts tested his "reconfigurable logic chip", the security reached the level of "white bare chip". He said that Huawei and ZTE are reviewing and studying his things and are ready to cooperate with Dosi. Someone at Huawei even said to him: Liu Dali, you may really be rich.
If it is really possible for Liu Dali to "get rich" in the future, then the "family history" must start with panggezhuang in Beijing in 1983. However, the purpose of Liu Dali's original registration was not to make money, but to engage in high-tech research and development, because the son of the old Red Army has always considered "always preparing and holding the gun in his hand". In this sense, Dosi is not an enterprise at least at present, but a super folk studio developed around CPU; Liu Dali is not an entrepreneur, but an enthusiastic "artist" obsessed with CPU research.
Raise money from villagers in panggezhuang
Before 1983, Liu Dali, who worked in the Institute of Automation of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, should be regarded as a celebrity. This young man, who only went to middle school, worked hard at scientific research and often stayed up for a week writing programs on the computer.
1979, 26-year-old Liu Dali organized a group of people to engage in the "79 1 project" artillery trajectory automatic control system, and won scientific and technological awards from research institutes, ministries and troops. "However, they are all second prizes." Liu Dali said, "and the appointment letter of the project leader was sent to me after the project ended." In the early 1980s, diplomas were highly valued.
"79 1 Project" won a prize of 2700 yuan for automation, which was astronomical at that time. Liu Dali got the share of 80 yuan and entertained his friends several times in the most luxurious Moscow restaurant in Beijing. At that time, the price of a milk soup was 15 cents.
But Liu Dali soon became depressed because there was no new research project for him. Liu wants to do scientific research by himself. At that time, there were generally two ways for people to engage in scientific research in the sea: one was to save the country by curve, to do trade first, and then to engage in scientific research after making money; The second is to raise funds to engage in scientific research projects, and then make money after the projects come out. "But how can you engage in scientific research if you earn money?" Liu chose the latter.
Liu Dali registered his own company in panggezhuang, Daxing County, Beijing. "Because it is easier to start in the countryside than in the city." Liu Dali said.
How can we raise start-up funds? While asking for help from friends, Liu Dali decided to raise money from villagers in panggezhuang. In the early days of reform and opening up in the 1980s, the policy was to allow farmers to raise funds to set up business entities. However, in an era when few people have seen computers, how can we explain to the villagers what software is and what software development is?
It's busy farming season, and the villagers are busy in the fields. Liu Dali prepared two sickles: one in front of the waist and the other behind the waist to help the villagers harvest crops. From morning till night, their hands are covered with blisters. At first glance, the cadres and villagers in the village said, yes, the descendants of the old Red Army from this city can really bear hardships and never forget their roots. They can't be wrong in the future. It was agreed to raise funds to run an enterprise entity, and the actual fund raised was 6,543,800 yuan+0.5 million yuan.
Not many people designed computer software at that time. More than a year later, Liu paid off panggezhuang's fund-raising, and introduced a set of advanced artificial diamond manufacturing equipment to panggezhuang through various relationships at that time, and opened the panggezhuang Diamond Factory, which made a good profit.
Will life be spent like this? Liu Dali fell into new thinking.
