Chapter 271 Chip factories join forces
The negotiation between the Norwegian shipping king and Umbrella went quite smoothly.
Umbrella even temporarily handed over the rights to represent the port equity that it purchased in that package to John Frederiksen.
The equity itself is still in Umbrella, but it is left to John Frederiksen to exercise power and participate in the decision-making of the port.
This will keep John Frederiksen's influence from diminishing for the time being.
After the modification is completed, the delivery will be official.
Of course, Umbrella also has conditions, that is, the modification must meet their requirements, cannot be fooled, and must accept their inspection.
Regarding this, of course it is a normal requirement. For inspection, of course Party A has this qualification!
John Fredrickson even made a calculation. If he modified it according to Umbrella's requirements this time, he would not only be able to redeem the assets, but also make up for the difference in price from the low-price sale. He could even make up for the loss. Make a small profit.
This made him feel that Umbrella was very wealthy, which made him, a shipping king ranked among the top 100 richest, feel like a slap in the face with money.
"But we have to move faster. We can't wait until there are problems with Daewoo and Daesun's plans."
John Frederiksen assigned tasks to his men, starting with those old European shipyards and asking them to work overtime for modifications!
Money is not an issue!
"Everything is already in place, but DSIC asked if some modifications can be made to our contract."
John Fredrickson also felt a little frown after hearing the report from his subordinates.
Did you notice something?
"They said that they have been having difficulty running funds recently. They wanted to get a loan, but it has been stuck and they were afraid of delaying the construction period, so they wanted to increase the deposit by 10%."
These words made John Fredrickson's eyes light up, and then he said
"Yes, but the content of this consultation must be recorded in writing. Umbrella just happened to give a sum, so I will leave it to them for the time being."
Everyone is short of cash flow. Originally, even if the other party fell into trouble, John Fredrickson would not pay so readily.
However, it happened that one of his high-quality assets was sold at a low price, and he had an extra amount of cash. Then Umbrella paid himself a deposit for the modification.
In this case, it’s okay to add 10% to DSIC!
Because this order is still enough to drag them down!
And once this negotiation comes to a conclusion and is mutually recognized by both parties, then you can also sue yourself, saying that DSIC delayed the delivery time due to financial pressure, and you have to compensate yourself!
As long as they wait until they are bankrupt and liquidated, the debt can be exchanged for their assets!
"Double happiness!"
……
On the other side, DSIC.
After seeing the reply from the Norwegian shipping king, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then someone smiled at Gu Nan and said
"Director Gu, it's a good thing to be safety-conscious, but you can't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. The Norwegian shipping king is very generous. Look, aren't you willing to pay an extra 10% deposit?"
At this time, the old man who hosted the meeting also smiled and said
"Director Gu has good intentions. It reduces the group's troubles and saves us the pressure on funds. This is a credit. We should learn more in the future."
Gu Nan was also slightly relieved at this time. He was really scared when he heard Wang Yi's words before. If something goes wrong, it may directly lead to bankruptcy!
But now, it's much better.
Of course, he couldn't blame Wang Yi for talking nonsense. It was definitely a favor for someone to mention the news about him, and looking back, his behavior was very strange.
Now being able to get an extra 10% deposit is already considered a victory!
……
When Wang Yi was on vacation at the beach, due to the production reduction of Snapdragon 810, a lot of the production capacity freed up by the foundry was directly consumed by Umbrella’s ‘White Queen’!
The performance of White Queen has been directly confirmed by the product and has been tested.
Although they are both ARM 64-bit public architecture quad-core chips using 20nm technology, they are not at the same level as Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810.
It can almost be seen as the gap between the upper limit and the lower limit!
Power consumption and performance are close to reaching the extreme of the same level.
Even Bai Hou's design has now been presented to engineers from major chip factories and regarded as a textbook-level case.
"There is definitely something wrong with their design software. It is impossible for all current EDA software to achieve this effect."
"And although they use AMR's public version architecture, there are also many of their own things in it. I checked it before and they have applied for a lot of patents."
"The patents are fine. They also use ours. We can cross-exchange them when the time comes. But what about the software design? If they can maintain this efficiency, no one will be able to compete with them in the field of mobile phone chips."< br>
"..."
There are 2 billion transistors on the 20nm process chip, and the design must rely on software assistance.
This is also why the chip needs to be tape-out tested, because it is normal for problems to occur!
Umbrella is a special case.
Although EDA software is powerful enough, connecting upstream and downstream, and has first-hand information, software is software, and there will always be areas that cannot be achieved.
Anyway, I took Bai Hou's chip and kept testing and researching it. The more I studied, the more speechless I found out how terrible this chip was. It can almost be said that I maximized all aspects of the chip's performance and selected the optimal solution!
In fact, the total number of transistors does not exceed other 20nm processes, but it has reached an extreme effect.
In comparison, the Snapdragon 810, which is also a 64-bit ARM public version architecture quad-core chip, was directly smashed.
Even if there is another breakthrough in the process, with the 14nm process that has been rumored by several wafer factories now, I am afraid that it will not be able to surpass this effect.
Relying on the advantages of chip design to surpass the technology!
"Actually, EDA manufacturers are also anxious, but there is nothing they can do. Umbrella has purchased their software normally and has not sold engineering software to external parties. With Umbrella's strength, do you want them to 'check' it?"
An engineer also expressed his frustration.
In fact, the three major EDA manufacturers are strong parties. The effects and market are here. As basic industrial software, they can make many demands.
But some requirements also score points!
Umbrella people have actually purchased your software services and paid for them, yet you continue to nag at them and even resort to some crooked tactics.
To be honest, I dare not!
Or it’s not worth the risk for them!
As software developers, they can actually see that Baihou's stuff cannot be designed with their tools.
But as long as Umbrella does not sell their own EDA software and pays to buy theirs, the loss to their profits will be limited.
In fact, most people can see that the reason why Umbrella does not sell its own software is that it uses many things from other people's software.
At the same time, because of the ‘perfection’ of the design, it reminded them of the Red Queen.
If artificial intelligence is involved, it seems somewhat understandable!
"We still need to call the people from those three companies. Let's put it all together. Why don't we pay for it? Find other chip manufacturers to pay together. It is equivalent to helping those three companies buy Umbrella's upgrade services and Red Queen auxiliary functions. For other chip manufacturers, Mobile phone manufacturers are willing to sell, as long as the price is right, they are actually very easy to deal with..."
In fact, this is based on the method of fruit.
Fruits respond quickly, so you can spend money to eliminate disasters! Most mobile phone manufacturers have chosen to follow suit, so they are once again on the same track as Umbrella.
At present, Umbrella's performance is like a donkey. If you pay and reason with him in a friendly manner, he can really discuss anything, and he is willing to share his core competitiveness.
Chip, we can do this too!
Isn't your current problem due to the secretiveness of the patents and data issues of the three major EDA manufacturers?
Come on, don’t be secretive, let’s just spend money on the service head office!
In addition to money, you can also cross-exchange patents here. After all, you Umbrella will make a lot of money!
This time, it forced our chip factory to join forces!
This can be regarded as an unprecedented combination!
Well, let's join forces to spend money to give away patents...

In fact, some book friends may think that the plot content of my writing sometimes has a span, but in fact, the main reason is because of time issues. Many things cannot happen so fast, such as research and development, testing, modification, etc., as well as some products. In fact, the feedback of information has actually compressed a lot of time for the sake of smoothness to some extent, such as the original paper review, market feedback, drug review, etc. But I still feel that it cannot be too exaggerated~
