Chapter 5 I want to develop my own chip
"Young President."
"Young President."
The shareholders saw Chen Xing walking into the ward and hurriedly said hello.
Although they wanted to use Chen Yapeng to put pressure on Chen Xing's decision the day before yesterday, he was the president of Longxing Technology Company after all, so he still had the most basic courtesy.
Chen Xing nodded slightly and walked straight to the bed without paying attention to Li Mingzhuo's evasive eyes.
“Boss.”
Because there were shareholders present, he still called Chen Yapeng by his company title.
Seeing Chen Xing coming, Chen Yapeng waved his hand towards the shareholders of the company and said: "You guys go out first, I will talk to him alone."
"Okay boss."
The shareholders exited the wards one after another, taking them with them since the senior wards were allowed to close their doors.
Seeing that only father and son were left in the ward, Chen Yapeng also got straight to the point and said: "Have you read the sanctions list issued by Gaotong Company?"
When talking about Gaotong Company and the sanctions list, he The tone was deliberately emphasized.
You must know that if you want to produce a smartphone, you basically cannot avoid the patented technology of Gaotong Company. Because of its transcendent status in the industry, it is also called a patent troll by mobile phone manufacturers.
Temporary price increases and unilateral breach of contracts are commonplace. For example, in applying for a shared patent this time, it has done so no less than five times around the world, but this time it is targeting the Dragon Kingdom.
But even though it is such a rogue, it is still on top of the world. No mobile phone manufacturer dares to go head-to-head with it, because all those who have faced it before have been eliminated.
Facing Chen Yapeng's inquiry, Chen Xing replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Look, our company has been included in the sanctions list."
"Then what do you want to do?"
< br>Chen Yapeng looked directly at Chen Xing and added: "Without Gaotong's 4G baseband chip, the new flagship is a 3G mobile phone. How do you position the selling point?"
Chen Xing's answer in the previous life was, Cooperate with Korean Star Group to use their Orion processor and upgrade camera pixels to create a mobile 3G camera phone.
Obviously we cannot say that this time, because that is the wrong path. Once we do this, we will fall into the trap carefully designed by the three major companies.
Facing this problem, Chen Xing flashed Gao Zhengqian's data panel in his mind. While feeling a little relieved, he took a deep breath and replied: "I want to independently develop domestic 4G baseband chips."
Chen Yapeng : "..."
Silence.
The ward suddenly fell into silence.
Independently develop domestic 4G baseband chips?
He was a little suspicious that Chen Xing had not woken up. Although Longxing Technology's valuation was close to 500 million, it was all false, and the company's scientific research team still became a monk halfway.
Don’t look far, only look near. Kunpeng Company invests nearly a billion in R&D funds every year, but they have not succeeded yet. How can a small company be the first to succeed in R&D?
Although he has been investing money in research and development in recent years, and nearly 70% of the company's revenue and profits have been invested in it, but in the field of scientific research, the 10 to 20 million yuan each year is really nothing compared to several thousand yuan. There is no essential difference.
But fortunately, they still made a breakthrough in the direction of the internal screen.
But in the field of chips, Longxing Technology has made no progress at all. It even stopped a year ago because it was too expensive and unaffordable.
When Chen Yapeng was still silent, Chen Xing took the initiative to show off his cards and said: "I have a few friends who are engaged in chip research and development abroad. He heard that we were sanctioned by Gaotong Company, so he came back to China to help us develop chips. ."
"Friend?"
"Yes, friend, just outside the corridor?"
Chen Yapeng's expression changed. Changed, his waist straightened up a few degrees. How could a talent in the chip field be left out? He quickly said: "Go and invite them in to talk."
He didn't know if these friends were trustworthy. Reliable, but in any case, chip talents are worthy of his attention.
In addition, he also wanted to check it himself to avoid being cheated.
"I'll call them."
Chen Xing stood up and walked out the door.
He had chatted a lot with Gao Zhengqian in the car before. In the chip field, he was definitely a big shot.
Even if you put him in any chip company, he will be the chief presence.
……
Outside the corridor of the ward. Gao Zhengqian was chatting with shareholders, but did not reveal his identity.
However, when the shareholders learned that they were friends of Chen Xing, they continued to act as lobbyists:
"Mr. Gao knows 4G very well. We also have the same idea. In the future The world must be 4G, but our young president insists on confronting Gaotong, and the company is in trouble now."
"It's more than trouble, it's going to be a disaster."
"Brother Gao, if you and Gaotong are in trouble. We have a good relationship with our boss. Please give him more advice. Longxing Technology can’t stand the trouble!”
As soon as Chen Xing opened the door, he heard the group of shareholders starting to surrender again.
In order to change Chen Xing's previous decision, they really took great pains to find Chen Yapeng and Gao Zhengqian.
“Cough!”
A cough made the corridor quiet.
The shareholders looked away and wandered around awkwardly. Chen Xing ignored them, but looked at Gao Zhengqian and said:
"The boss wants to talk to you."
"I ?"
Gao Zhengqian was stunned, and then he immediately reacted and looked at the assistant aside: "Give me the briefcase."
Take it. Passing the briefcase, he entered the ward.
Chen Yapeng looked at Gao Zhengqian carefully. His hairline that did not move back at all made him feel a little unreliable, but he still went straight to the topic and said:
"I heard from Xiaoxing that your research direction is in the field of chips? "
There are only three people in the ward now, so he doesn't need to call him Mr. Young. Instead, he calls Chen Xing by his childhood nickname.
Gao Zhengqian understood that this was Chen Yapeng's test for him, and immediately responded: "Yes, I work in the chip R&D department of Apple. I have been excluded because of my skin color. I learned that Longxing Technology Company was After the sanctions, I thought about returning to China to see if there was anyone I could help with. ”
Apple chip R&D department!
Chen Yapeng’s expression changed. This is a giant in the field of mobile phones.
The release of the Apple 4 directly overturned the entire mobile phone industry, and the knock-on copycat phones were wiped out.
It was at that time that Chen Yapeng decided to make smartphones. It was this decision that made Longxing Technology stand out among the copycat phone companies.
Waiting for Chen Yapeng to recover from the shock, Gao Zhengqian took out the Wang Zha document from his briefcase and said: "I know that our company is currently limited to 4G baseband chips. This is some of my research on 4G baseband chips. Results report, if it goes well, the preliminary design can be completed in half a month? "Half a month?"
Chen Yapeng couldn't sit still at all.
He took the scientific research results report and quickly turned through a few pages.
I can’t understand!
I can’t understand it at all!
But some of the above professional vocabulary, such as what architecture, DSP processor, ALU unit, etc., he had heard from the chip experts of the previous company.
He originally wanted to take a photo and ask, but he was afraid of leaking the secret. However, judging from Gao Zhengqian's behavior and conversation, this scientific research report was 80% true.
Nervous!
Excited!
At a loss!
Chen Yapeng trembled all over when he thought of being helped by noble people.
If domestic 4G baseband chips are successfully developed by them, Longxing Technology will leave a strong mark in history.
Just like the dimensionality reduction attack of Apple 4, history will remember Apple.
Chen Xing on the side was also secretly surprised. He thought that red people were perverted, but he didn't expect that they would be so perverted!
If we recruit a hundred and eighty people, we might actually be able to immigrate to Mars.
"Half...half a month to complete the preliminary design. How long will it take to see the finished product?"
Chen Yapeng was so nervous that he stuttered and asked the question he was most concerned about. This is also The issue that Chen Xing is most concerned about.
"Well..."
Gao Zhengqian thought for a moment and gave an approximate time: "If everything goes well, it will be three to four months. If there is an episode, it may take more than half a year."
“Okay!”
Chen Yapeng looked excited and nodded heavily.
Half a year may be a long time or a short time, but Longxing Technology can afford to wait!
