Chapter 42 Boss Ren plans to take action, but the academicians repeatedly hit the wall
“Dad, something happened to Longxing Technology again. This time not only Gaotong and MediaTek stopped supplying chips, but the three giants of EDA software also stopped supplying chips to them. They provide software services. ”
Shenzhen Longgang.
Kunpeng Company Headquarters Base.
Yao Nana, who put on a professional skirt and old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses and tried to look more professional, came to Ren Guofei's office.
Still processing the documents, Ren Guofei, who was reviewing the plan, raised his head and asked in confusion: "Nana, why are you here? What did you say about Longxing Technology just now? What happened to them?"
He has been approving orders from parts suppliers in the past two days, because the restriction on chip purchase has been lifted, which means that they can use the Snapdragon 810 processor normally to release new flagship mobile phones.
Ren Guofei originally did not want to use the Snapdragon 810 processor, but he could not withstand the strong demands of shareholders.
Because Kunpeng Company has not made a profit for a long time, although the shareholders do not say it in words, they have more or less complaints in their hearts.
Yao Nana kept her story short and concisely summarized what she just said.
Ren Guofei suddenly became extremely worried. This was hundreds of times more difficult than the difficulties Kunpeng Company encountered back then!
Not only is the supply of chips cut off, but the EDA software is also locked for you. Even if you have great chip design skills, it will be useless without EDA software. This is an absolute technological monopoly.
"How long have the sanctions been imposed?"
"Maybe in two to three days, the production of Longxing X1 mobile phones has also dropped to 10,000 units. Now the Internet is scolding them for engaging in hunger marketing, but I From what I heard, their Guancheng factory seems to have been shut down."
Yao Nana told Ren Guofei all the information she had collected.
After understanding the general idea, Ren Guofei suddenly felt a headache. He did not expect that MediaTek was also involved.
What conditions or interests made it willing to cooperate with Gaotong Company to cut off the supply of chips to Longxing Technology.
"Looks like I need to talk to Chen Xing."
If the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the nest is destroyed and the eggs are broken, Ren Guofei will not understand this truth.
He was thinking, if Kunpeng Company experienced this level of comprehensive sanctions, would there really be a chance to survive the desperate situation?
He didn't know.
But there is a high probability that it will be over...
Because the chip field has always been a pain for Longguo, whether it is instruction set, EDA software, chip design or manufacturing process, there is still a long way to go. Gotta go.
The instruction set is okay, there is open source RISC-V, but the last three are patented technologies that really choke the neck.
Especially for EDA chip design software, three companies account for 95% of the global market share. You must know that these companies are global, not national. Just thinking about it is scary.
"Nana, help me contact Chen Xing. I want to talk to him tonight."
Ren Guofei plans to take action.
He was not just trying to help Chen Xing, he was also trying to help himself.
Once Longxing Technology Company collapses, everyone knows which Longguo company will suffer next. Kunpeng Company has always been the fat in the eyes of Gaotong Company.
“We probably won’t be able to talk about dad tonight. Xiao Nuan said that Mr. Chen went to the Imperial Capital and most likely went to the boss of Huatian EDA to discuss cooperation.”
As soon as Yao Nana finished speaking, the door of the office was opened again.
"Father, the supply contract for the Snapdragon 810 processor has been negotiated. Gaotong is willing to charge baseband patent royalties at 270 yuan per unit and 5% of the total sales price of a single unit. The first batch The Snapdragon 810 processor is expected to arrive at the warehouse within the next two days.”
The speaker was an aura-filled middle-aged woman with a single ponytail.
Although she looks ordinary, her eyes are extremely sharp and edgy. She is an out-and-out strong woman in the workplace.
She is not a company employee, but Ren Guofei's eldest daughter, Ren Wanzhou. The arrival of Ren Wanzhou also made Ren Guofei look at Yao Nana aside and said: "Nana, you go and do your work first. Notify me immediately of the news of Chen Xing's return. Your eldest sister and I have something to discuss."
< br>
“But…”
Yao Nana wanted to say something else, but she couldn’t say it in the end.
She looked deeply at Ren Wanzhou, called "Sister" softly, and then left the office.
In Kunpeng Company, Ren Guofei would habitually leave core tasks to Ren Wanzhou. Yao Nana used to think that it was because of her young age that Ren Guofei was worried. Now it seems that she has not become the candidate.
...
"Mr. Qu, we are here. This is the experimental base of Longxing Technology Company. It seems to be a technology park for rent."
Outside the SEG Technology Park, a car without any The unobtrusive Santana slowly drove to the door and sat in the back seat. The thin old man in his 60s with two big bags under his eyes looked out the window and said in disbelief:
"This is their experimental base? Are you sure you got it right?"
"No, Xu Shaoyi gave me this address, and I heard that they only rented a five-story laboratory building."
"It's so simple... ”
While the two people in the car were still talking, the security guard at the security booth immediately stepped forward and said, “Hello, how can I help you?”
With the industrial park outside. , unlike the eighty-year-old gatekeeper in the real estate complex, the security guards here are all veterans, and all of them are strong and strong.
24-hour patrols and the promotion of all-round cameras in the park have made safety the label of SEG Technology Park.
“Hello, may I ask, has Longxing Technology Company rented a laboratory here?”
As soon as the Santana driver finished speaking, the security guard looked wary and refused to provide information on the spot: "I'm sorry, our park has express regulations not to disclose customer information."
"That's right, then we want to visit the inside of your park. Is that okay?"
"Sorry, we don't allow outside vehicles. Unless you are here to rent the experimental site, otherwise, I can't let you in."
"That's it. "The driver looked at the old man in the back seat and asked for advice: "What should Mr. Qu do now? It seems that Mr. Chen Xing is too difficult to find."
They were there five days ago. He arrived in Shenzhen because he had to attend a semiconductor academic exchange meeting. After the exchange meeting, Qu Cheng wanted to visit Longxing Technology Company and witness Chen Xing's style.
As an academician who was responsible for technology patent review, he wanted to know who designed the DSP digital signal processor multi-core architecture technology.
But the result is...
Thank you for the invitation, I am on a business trip, not in the company!
They wanted the girl at the front desk to call Chen Xing and ask when they could come back, but they were declined again.
The girl at the front desk is certainly not stupid. It would be okay if Chen Xing was in the company, but now that he is on a business trip, how can she dare to call her boss to ask when he will be back?
If she were talking about cooperation, if she was resting in a hotel, she would make a phone call. Wouldn't she be digging a hole for herself?
She could only ask Qu Cheng to leave his phone number and notify them when Chen Xing came back from his business trip.
It’s okay to hit a wall at Longxing Technology Company. Now that I’m in SEG Technology Park, I want to pay homage to the place where the Kaitian baseband chip is developed, but I’m not allowed to go in.
After hitting the wall several times in a day, Qu Cheng was in a mess. He lived to be sixty-four years old and received numerous awards. He was also an academician of both the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, and an integrated circuit scholar at Beijing University. Dean of the college.
Whoever wants to see him usually makes an appointment several months or even half a year in advance, and he may not be able to see him.
But now it's his turn to see Chen Xing, which is really harder than making an appointment for himself...
