"Mr. Chen, congratulations."
"President Ren?"
"Why, it's strange. Shall I call you?"
At noon, Chen Yu received a call from Ren Zhengfei.
"That's not true. It's mainly because I dug two generals, president Ren, before. I'm sorry."
"President Chen is modest. Gao Ji and he Hongbo are talents. I hope you can treat them well."
"Let's rest assured that this is natural."
"I also believe in President Chen. By the way, when will I have time to meet?"
"President Ren, what's up?"
"I want to talk to you about the mobile phone business."
"Let me see..."
Chen Yu is considering the future schedule.
Of course, for a moment he didn't understand Ren Zhengfei's idea, but he didn't promise so soon.
Ren Zhengfei probably saw Chen Yu's hesitation and said, "don't think about it. When are you free and when will we talk again."
"Then I'll call president Ren."
Hang up.
Chen Yu is a little strange.
Ren Zhengfei wants to talk to him about mobile phone business?
I won't find myself PK.
Chen Yu had a little sense of achievement when he thought that Huawei's mobile phone didn't even call out the brand.
However, Ren Zhengfei is not so boring.
This big guy level person is extremely powerful in his heart.
Let alone beat their mobile phone business now. Even if it has an impact on their core business, he can fight with you to the end.
Just like Huawei now.
They are not as good as motorcycles, Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung in the communication business. However, with their incomparable fighting spirit, they finally surpassed a series of foreign giants.
"Forget it, don't think about them."
Chen Yu didn't think much about it for the time being.
Do your own thing first.
Tianyu mobile phone has occupied the ultra-low end market, which is only the first step for Huanyu technology to enter the mobile phone field.
Chen Yu doesn't want to be just a low-end market.
In the future, Chen Yu will also enter the mid-range, high-end, high-end, top, and even the top cutting-edge market.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu called Wu Kai and Liang Bo.
"Liang Bo, how's your situation?"
"Mr. Chen, we have started data research and preliminary design of middle-end mobile phones."
"What about this piece of technology?"
"We have made breakthroughs in dual card and dual standby technology, including resistance screen technology. At present, we have applied for patents for both technologies."
"OK."
Chen Yu nodded: "Wu Kai, you let the research team conquer the next field, capacitive screen."
"Yes."
Wu Kai nodded.
Although he is not particularly clear about the great development of resistance screen and capacitance screen.
But Wu Kai never doubted Chen Yu's vision.
Then, Chen Yu went to the chip open source department.
"Manager he, I'm still used to it."
"Very good. President Chen, just call me Tingbo."
He Tingbo is a technology maniac. He will go to work as soon as he joins Huanyu technology.
To this end, Chen Yu assigned he Tingbo to the chip open source department. First, get familiar with the whole chip open source plan.
"President Chen, I didn't expect our chip open source foundation to be so huge."
"No, we can't. We start from scratch. Everything has to be considered clearly."
"It seems that I am right to join Huanyu technology."
"Are you sure now?"
Chen Yu said with a smile, "I didn't deceive you before, did I?"
"Not really, but after joining the company, we became more aware of our goals."
"Well, however, we can't rely entirely on open source foundations."
With that, Chen Yu said to Li Biqing on one side, "Dean, how was the conversation with the international center?"
"Everything is going well."
"President Chen, Central International, do we have to process chips ourselves?"
He Hongbo was extremely surprised: "it's not necessary for the time being."
Although he Hongbo has always wanted to make a pure domestic Chinese core.
But what he Hongbo studies is also the chip architecture. As for chip processing, other enterprises naturally do it.
Such as central international.
The international center is the Jingyuan factory.
The so-called wafer refers to a semiconductor transistor or integrated circuit substrate.
To make a chip, not only the chip architecture, but also the wafer processing.
However, wafer processing is a very complex technology, which can not be mastered by ordinary enterprises.
There are only a dozen companies in the world that can master wafer processing.
The international center is one of them.
However, before that, general enterprises will not do chip processing.
Generally, if an enterprise wants to make its own chip, it only needs to work out the chip architecture first and then throw it to the Jingyuan factory. It's like making a mobile phone. As long as you have the design drawings and electronic components ready, I can assemble them for you. Of course, wafer foundry is much more skilled than mobile phone assembly.
He Hongbo thinks the same.
All walks of life are divided more and more carefully. There is no need to do everything.
There are some things that can be done by other enterprises.
Moreover, they do it more efficiently.
But Chen Yu didn't think so: "I think it's very necessary."
Facing he Hongbo, Chen Yu asked, "Hongbo, let me ask you a question first. Why do you want to make a chip?"
"My major is semiconductor. Of course, I want to make our own chips. Of course, a more important reason is that we don't have our own chips in China."
"No, that's not the reason. It's because foreign chip giants will pinch our necks."
Actually, it's easy to understand.
If everyone in the world is fair, everyone can naturally do their own things.
Even if it is not on our side, but other countries have, we can also cooperate with them.
But the world is not like this.
If you don't want to cooperate with chips, others will cooperate with you.
That's why we have to make our own chips.
"In the same way, why should central international be established? That is, we should have our own Jingyuan generation factory. If not, even if we have developed an extremely powerful chip architecture, other Jingyuan generation factories will not OEM us?"
At present, the most advanced foundry enterprise in the world is called TSMC.
This is a Jingyuan Dynasty factory in Taiwan.
Of course, if it were just Taiwan enterprises, Chen Yu could not have such a crisis.
But the key is that 80% of TSMC's shareholders are foreign capital.
Once an accident happens, it is a question whether TSMC can still help you contract.
In previous lives, the United States actually had such a blocking and upgrading plan.
Just because this involves too much, they haven't implemented it so soon.
But everyone knows that whether it is chip architecture or chip processing, the neck is pinched by foreign countries.
If you don't want to be strangled by them.
First, we should have our own chip architecture.
Second, we should have our own Jingyuan Dynasty factory.
The third part is to build a chip ecosystem.
Of course, in fact, the technology of the international center is very general.
This company, founded in 2000, is several generations different from TSMC technology.
Even in the previous life, in 2020, the technology of CIMC and TSMC is still two generations apart.
However, now for Chen Yu, the international center is just right.
Chen Yu doesn't want to make any high-end chips. Now he just wants to make low-end chips.
"I see."
Although Chen Yu didn't say much, he Hongbo suddenly understood.
Seeing he Hongbo's awakening, Chen Yu continued: "our chip foundation has not been established for a long time. Although it has developed well, the whole architecture has not been completed yet. While completing the chip architecture, we also use the technology of arm company to make our low-end chips."
Of course, the purpose of making low-end chips is not to go through the whole chip process.
Whether it's architecture or processing... Huanyu technology has to participate fully.
