Chapter 40 A penny stumps a heroic man
“What’s going on here? The tape-out can be completed in three days? Isn’t this an international joke!”
Wang Chengdong smiled bitterly and said: "The other party is very sure."
Xu Zhijun thought for a while and suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that Mr. Hu is from the Hu family."
"People from the Hu family? The Hu family from Hong Kong Island?"
"right."
"Hey, that's a big, wealthy family!"
Xu Zhijun added: "I also heard that this person is a young man who does not do his job all day long. He causes trouble everywhere and has a particularly bad reputation on Hong Kong Island."
"Hmm, dude?"
"Yes, yes, that's what it means."
Wang Chengdong's eyes widened: "Mr. Xu, if you didn't tell me earlier, if he was really a dandy, that would be too unreliable!"
Xu Zhijun sighed: "Forget it, it doesn't matter whether Mr. Hu is reliable or not? What matters is whether his friend is reliable."
At this time, Wang Chengdong showed a thoughtful look: "But I don't think that person looks like a prodigal son with no knowledge or skills."
Xu Zhijun was stunned: "What? Lao Wang, how did you know?"
"I definitely don't know, but when I talked to him on the phone, I felt that he was quite rigorous in his speech and very organized. He didn't seem like someone who just talked casually."
Xu Zhijun waved his hand: "Old Wang, I'm not talking about you. What can you hear on the phone? You are not a living god."
"That's right. Anyway, now we can only take one step at a time."
Xu Zhijun sighed: "I hope our efforts will yield good results."
Meanwhile, General Island, office building.
Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui randomly found a multimedia conference room and prepared to go over the IC chip design drawings sent by Huayao.
The two looked at the detailed IC drawings and were basically sure that it was Kirin's seven-nanometer mobile processor.
There is no doubt that this is Huayao's latest flagship chip - Kirin 990.
This chip will be installed on Huayao’s latest flagship mobile phone, Mate30.
At this time, Zhang Rui noticed something was wrong, pointed at the computer screen and said, "Mr. Hu, do you think there is a design flaw here?"
Hu Jiangshan took a closer look at the screen and nodded. It was indeed a design problem.
Although the problem is small, the impact is huge, causing the chip to generate abnormal heat when running.
According to common sense, Huayao's semiconductor department, namely Hexi Semiconductor, has rich design experience and should not make such low-level mistakes.
In the previous life that Hu Jiangshan experienced, Kirin 990 was a quite classic all-round chip, and it was called the Hexagon Warrior as soon as it was launched.
Hu Jiangshan immediately understood that this was not a design error on the part of Haixi Semiconductor, but a deliberate change before sending it over.
The purpose of this is obvious.
This small flaw amounts to a mark.
If Hu Jiangshan's semiconductor production line is genuine and can produce advanced chips, then this mark will exist.
If this mark does not exist, it means that the tape-out on Hu Jiangshan's side is false, and the tape-out samples were purchased from other places.
As expected of Huayao, he is indeed cautious and can use this method to test the capabilities of his partners.
Zhang Rui asked: "Do you want to modify it?"
Hu Jiangshan said with a smile: "No, that's not what we should do. Just do it according to the drawings and restore the design 100%."
Zhang Rui nodded: "I understand, Mr. Hu."
After talking about business, Hu Jiangshan turned to Zhang Rui and started chatting.
Hu Jiangshan asked: "Dr. Zhang, are there any inconveniences or areas that need improvement for the team to work on the island?" Zhang Rui thought for a while and said, "The situation is much better now than it was some time ago. With this office building, it feels like work The environment is very good, the scenery is so good, and the spirit can be relaxed. ”
Hu Jiangshan nodded: "That's good. Is it convenient to eat?"
"Now we all bring our own meals, which is quite convenient, but if we work overtime, we have to ask someone to go back to Hong Kong Island to buy food."
Zhang Rui added: "But now we also have a way, which is to buy more quick-frozen foods in advance, put them all in the refrigerator, and just heat them up when eating."
Hu Jiangshan thought to himself, it seems that a restaurant is still needed.
Now, if there are more than a dozen people, it can certainly be done. If there are more people in the future, eating will be a big problem.
Eating too much of quick-frozen food, convenience food, etc. is not good.
At this time, Zhang Rui said again: "By the way, Mr. Hu, there is another question."
"what is the problem?"
"Should the roads on our island be repaired? Semiconductor production lines require a lot of raw materials. The goods delivered by cargo ships are all dirt roads from the dock to the factory. It doesn't matter when the amount of raw materials is small. In the future, if large-scale production If so, the dosage will increase and there may be a lot of trouble.”
Hu Jiangshan nodded: "I understand, this is indeed a problem that needs to be solved."
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Zhang Rui went to work.
Hu Jiangshan walked out of the office building and went outdoors.
At this time, the wind on Jiangjun Island was very strong and the sun was relatively bright.
Hu Jiangshan was thinking that if the vegetation on the island were richer, it would be able to block most of the sunlight and the wind would be much lighter.
There is also the problem mentioned by Zhang Rui. The road renovation on the island is indeed urgently needed.
Now it is just a small-scale trial production and tape-out stage, and not many raw materials are used, which is okay.
If everything goes well, it will officially enter the mass production stage soon. The amount of materials used will be very large, so the transportation system on the island will be very important.
But building roads costs a lot of money, and Hu Jiangshan doesn’t have any rice in his pocket!
He still owes a lot of money.
There are only a few days left until the first loan repayment date.
If there is no money to repay then, of course the bank will not do anything to Hu Jiangshan. After all, he is a member of the Hu family, but it will also be embarrassing.
Even if Hu Jiangshan doesn't care whether he is embarrassed or not, the name of the Hu family cannot be ignored.
Banks have many ways to spread various news in the business community, and the Hu family will become a laughing stock.
Hu Jiangshan walked along the dirt road to the dock.
I feel like I have a headache. I really want to repair this road, at least make it an asphalt road.
But Hu Jiangshan can’t do it yet.
It's really hard for a hero to make a penny, and it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
Hu Jiangshan was a top scientist in his previous life. He used various sponsorships and research funds at will, and he never worried about money at all.
It's better now, being reborn into a wealthy family on Hong Kong Island, but you have to worry about money.
Who can I ask to explain this?
Hu Jiangshan was wondering whether he should go to Mr. Hu Yingxiang to make a fortune and raise some money? At least the road was repaired.
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
But after much thought, I decided to wait for a few days and finish the tape-out for Huayao first.
