Chapter 109 The ambition of Sansang sales representative
After a while, the business representative of Sansang Semiconductor came.
One is named Pu Zhenzhen and the other is named Zhou Zhenzhen.
As soon as they heard their names, they knew that Pu Chao was from Smecta, while Zhou Zhenzhen was a Chinese woman.
Both of them were dressed in professional attire, looking energetic and formal.
But Pu Zhengzheng's face is not very good, and he always feels a bit like a street kid.
The four of them sat facing each other.
Pu Zhengzhao looked around and said, "Your working environment in Huayao is pretty good. It's a big place and it's not as bad as I thought."
Jiang Nan and Zhao Jianwei looked at each other. Although this Smecta spoke Chinese well and even spoke very weakly, his speech was really ugly and impolite.
But it is also normal, a typical symptom of Smecta people.
Zhou Zhenzhen also seemed to feel embarrassed and coughed slightly: "Let's get down to business."
Jiang Nan took a sip of water: "Mr. Park, Ms. Zhou, we invite you to come over. I want to see if we can cooperate in some fields?"
Park just didn't speak, but was playing with the gold watch on his wrist.
Zhou Zhenzhen asked: "In what aspects do you want to cooperate with our Sansang?"
Jiang Nan said: "His Semiconductor is a semiconductor design department, so of course we want to cooperate in chip manufacturing."
At this time, Park just said: "You guys want us to have Sansang OEM chips? There is really no need to talk about this matter, they won't let you!"
The so-called "over there" is "which side", everyone knows it, and there is no need to say it.
Jiang Nan said: "We know this, we just said that we can cooperate in other aspects."
"Like what aspects?"
"We have some chips that have been designed and need to be taped out. I wonder if you are interested?"
Pu Zhizhao smiled slightly: "Yes, it's impossible to mass-produce chips for you, but tape-out is still possible."
When Jiang Nan and Zhao Jianwei heard this, they both sat upright.
It seems like there is really something going on.
As long as it can be taped out, that's a good start.
At least the chip can be made, and you know what the design level is, and you can have a reference for later modifications and iterations.
Jiang Nan asked: "In this case, we can have a good talk. We happen to have an improved version of Kirin's chip, and now we want to tape it out to observe the performance effect."
Pu Zhengzheng did not answer immediately, but asked: "Don't you have coffee here? I'm used to drinking American coffee, do you have it here?"
Jiang Nan and Zhao Jianwei were speechless for a moment. This guy had quite a lot of demands.
But it doesn't matter, we are guests from afar, as long as we have something to talk about.
Zhao Jianwei immediately got up and poured a cup of coffee for each of Pu Zhaozhao and Zhou Zhenzhen.
Park just took a sip of coffee and said, "It's a bit sour, and the coffee beans are not very good."
The Huayao duo sitting across from them didn't answer the question. Pu Zhaozhao said: "As long as the price is reasonable, we can accept it."
Jiang Nan and Zhao Jianwei looked at each other and felt something bad about Smecta's tone.
Jiang Nan asked: "Excuse me, didn't you give me the quotation?"
Pu Zhizhao laughed: "That's easy to say. We can also give you a quotation. By the way, what is the level of the chip you just mentioned?"
"Probably at the seven-nanometer level."
In fact, the so-called 28-nanometer process, 14-nanometer process, and 7-nanometer process chip divisions are just standards developed by Island Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Yasmail, and are not hard-core votes.
What actually affects the performance of the chip is the transistor density.
For example, the so-called 7-nanometer chip has a transistor density of about 10 billion. The smaller the chip, the higher the process level.
The improved version of Kirin 990 has actually exceeded the standard of 7nm chips and has added a large number of transistors. If we really follow this statement, it may be equivalent to the level of 6nm.
Jiang Nan was worried about scaring the other party, so she deliberately said it was a 7-nanometer chip.
Park just said: "Okay, no problem. Our Sansang Semiconductor can successfully tape out the 7-nanometer chip. As for the cost, because this is our first cooperation, we can quote 50 million." "Five, fifty million... …”
Park just added: "By the way, it's a beautiful sword, not Hua Yuan."
Jiang Nan and Zhao Jianwei were shocked when they heard it.
Fifty million US dollars, this guy really dares to speak!
You must know that the tape-out of seven-nanometer chips at Sima Semiconductor only costs US$10 million at a time.
That's good, it suddenly doubled five times.
Zhao Jianwei said in a low voice: "What the hell is a lion talking about, taking us as a scapegoat!"
Jiang Nan waved her hand to tell Zhao Jianwei to calm down.
Jiang Nan said to Pu Zhengzhao: "Mr. Pu, your quotation is too high."
Park just took another sip of coffee: "It's not high, it's not high at all. Do you have any other options besides asking us for tape-out at Sansang Semiconductor?"
"this……"
Jiang Nan couldn't refute for the moment. Sshima Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. had already contacted him and couldn't continue to cooperate, not even for tape-out.
It is indeed rare for Sansang Semiconductor to be able to relax now.
But $50 million is indeed too high and simply unaffordable.
Moreover, the technical level of Sansan Semiconductor is not comparable to that of Shima Semiconductor. If the tape-out is not successful the first time, it will have to be done a second time.
This fifty million US dollars can only be used once.
Seeing Jiang Nan and Zhao Jianwei hesitate, Pu Zheng stood up and said, "If you can't decide, then we'll leave. But if we talk next time, then the offer may be invalid."
"...Huh? Invalid?"
"Do you want more money?"
Pu Zhengzheng said: "That's possible. It's not difficult and the risk is high. It's not easy to make money!"
Jiang Nan gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on, you two, I'll go ask the leader for instructions."
Park just waved his hand, as if he was too lazy to speak.
Jiang Nan went out.
Zhao Jianwei felt depressed when he stayed here, so he actually went out.
Park Zhenzhen and Zhou Zhenzhen were left alone in the conference room.
Zhou Zhenzhen whispered: "Just right, are you asking too high a price?"
Pu Zhengzheng raised his eyebrows: "High? It's so funny. It's not high at all. Do they have other options besides looking for us?"
Zhou Zhenzhen thought for a moment and then asked: "Can we really tape out Huayao? If someone knows about it, will they do anything to us..."
Pu Zhizhao laughed and said, "We don't have to worry about this. Let's get the money first."
"Um?"
"Zhenzhen, don't make any mistake, who said that the tape-out will definitely be successful?"
Zhou Zhenzhen suddenly realized that this was exactly what Park had in mind.
After collecting the money, nothing will be done.
What a loss.
Pu Zhengzheng smiled and said: "By the way, Zhenzhen, are you free tonight? Let's go see a movie."
"ah?"
"I found a very good cinema, next to a high-end hotel..."
Zhou Zhenzhen's face turned red and he was speechless.
