Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

However, although he is not optimistic about the chip designed by Chen Yu.

But the design made by Chen Yu gave Zhang Rujing an idea, why didn't he design one?

Generally speaking, those who do chip foundry also have strong chip design capabilities.

But why don't chip foundries design it themselves?

It's not that they don't have this ability, but that Zhang Rujing understands that there is special skill in art.

They just need to do a good job in chip foundry.

Chip design is done by others.

Taijidian forced Zhang Rujing to exhaust all means by drastically reducing prices.

Instead of this, it is better to fight and design a chip by yourself.

It's just that even though he thought so, Zhang Rujing also knew that this move might not work.

They do have the ability to design their own chips, but no matter how strong their technology is, can the chips they design be comparable to Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, or Infineon?

If this can be compared, how can companies such as Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Infineon have anything to eat.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Rujing felt a little hopeless.

He suddenly felt that his chip foundry business had just stopped.

"Hey, what is this?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Rujing's face became extremely ugly.

At this moment, he didn't even have the thought to look at the blueprint of [Tianwen].

However, just when Zhang Rujing was about to close the design drawing, Zhang Rujing discovered a very interesting design.

Chapter 670: Mr. Chen, I want an order of 1 million chips

"Chen Yu, does your Tianwen chip integrate MP3 into the chip?"

"Yes."

"Looks like there's a radio."

"Correct."

Chen Yu nodded: "Our Tianwen chip not only integrates mp3 and radio functions, but we also built a whole set of multimedia solutions into the chip."

"This……"

"You make me think about it."

At the beginning, Zhang Rujing just thought it was just a small idea, and he didn't have much technology.

Just thinking about it, he realized that it was definitely not that simple.

Generally speaking, like chips, he does not integrate these multimedia solutions.

Chip designers only need to handle program operation, information processing, calculation, control and so on.

As for the multimedia, this is designed by the hardware manufacturers themselves.

But Chen Yu built all of these into the chip. Is this for the convenience of the manufacturer's design?

On the surface it looks like it is.

If a series of multimedia solutions are built into the chip, it is indeed convenient for manufacturers.

But thinking about it further, Zhang Rujing suddenly realized, and said two words: "Production cycle."

"Mr. Zhang's eyes are indeed for the production cycle."

Chen Yu nodded.

"Excellent, Mr. Chen, your move is amazing."

If it was said that Zhang Rujing's face was ashen before, but now, his heart is full of enthusiasm.

He knew exactly what this meant.

You know, hardware production is cyclical.

For example, to launch a certain product, it usually takes more than half a year from R&D design to production.

It will take 2-3 months to be the most powerful, which was the trick used by Universal Technology at that time.

But is there a faster one?

It is basically impossible, no matter how fast it is, it will not be too long.

Take the mobile phone as an example.

Mobile phone manufacturers must first conduct product research and development to produce a mobile phone type.

And product development requires UI design, application software integration, debugging... and a series of work.

All this work takes a considerable amount of time.

This is why a product takes an extremely long period from research and development to finished product.

But now.

If there is a chip that provides a series of multimedia solutions, it can almost be said that more than half of the mobile phone research and development work has been done.

It originally took half a year to produce mobile phones, but now it only takes three months.

What originally took 3 months to produce finished products now only takes one and a half months, or even one month.

If you don't need mass production, it can be done for you in a few days.

This is the cycle.

Once the cycle is greatly shortened, the efficiency of mobile phone research and development will increase rapidly.

At the same time, his production costs will drop rapidly.

Such a chip, even if its performance is mediocre, Zhang Rujing can predict that as soon as it is released, countless mobile phone manufacturers will probably snatch it up in an instant.

"Mr. Chen, when will we start producing Tianwen chips?"

Excited, Zhang Rujing asked.

"What do you say?"

Chen Yu replied with a smile.

"Of course I want the sooner the better."

"no problem."

Chen Yu nodded: "As long as there is no problem with Center International, I can hand it over to Mr. Zhang for production now."

"Mr. Chen, thank you, this time you brought our Center International back from the brink of death."

Tightly, Zhang Rujing held Chen Yu with both hands.

Originally, he was not particularly optimistic about Chen Yu's investment in Center International.

Even if it was Chen Yu's investment, he only thought it was absorbing funds from Huanyu Technology.

Apart from funds, their center international should not get much help from Huanyu Technology.

But unexpectedly, at the moment of life and death of Central International, Chen Yu rescued Central International when there was nothing the higher-ups could do.

With this chip, even if Taiji Electric reduced the 0.25 micron foundry cost by half, he would not have any fear.

……

"Everyone, I invited you here today because I have an important matter to discuss with you."

For Huanyu Technology, Chen Yu rarely invited the heads of domestic mobile phone manufacturers to the company.

Huawei, Gionee, Gold Card, Backgammon, Amoi, Bird...

However, no Lenovo.

As a new force in the mobile phone industry, Universal Technology's strength has also been recognized by many domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

"Mr. Chen, just tell me if you have anything to say, everyone is very curious."

It was Ren Zhengfei who said this.

Of course, in fact, Ren Zhengfei may not come.

Huawei has many businesses, and Yu Chengdong is in charge of the mobile phone business.

But Chen Yu's unusual invitation this time, Ren Zhengfei felt that it was unusual, so he came with Yu Chengdong.

As soon as Chen Yu said it, Ren Zhengfei took up the words and said.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, tell me quickly, everyone is waiting for you to distribute benefits."

Although Universal Technology has not entered the mobile phone business for a long time, the strength of Universal Technology is obvious to all.Moreover, after these several fights, everyone unconsciously moved closer to Huanyu Technology.As for why, the reason is very simple. Looking at this period of time, it is unlucky to fight with Huanyu Technology to the death.However, the business that is closest to Huanyu Technology is developing very well.For example, Backgammon... Recently, with the help of Huanyu Technology, the sales of mobile phones have increased.

In addition, some time ago they also reached a lot of cooperation with Universal Technology, such as dual-card dual-standby technology, mobile version input method, mobile version YY... etc., all of which were earlier than Samsung and Nokia.Through this time difference, the sales of many domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also increased a lot, narrowing the distance with foreign mobile phone manufacturers.

Vaguely, although Huanyu Technology is not the industry leader in the mobile phone industry for the time being.

But many people already feel that Huanyu Technology is already a leader.

"Hehe, everyone is waiting for my welfare."

Chen Yu spread his hands.

"Otherwise, Mr. Chen, everyone has come all the way to your place, how can it make sense without benefits?"

It's a joke of course.

However, jokes are jokes, this all represents everyone's recognition of Huanyu Technology.

"Okay, then get benefits."

Pretending to be helpless, Chen Yu took out a small square iron piece from his pocket.

This piece of iron is only as big as a fingernail, and everyone didn't see it clearly at first.

Look carefully, only to find that it is a mobile phone chip.

"Mr. Chen, is this a chip?"

"Correct."

Chen Yu nodded: "This is the chip that our Huanyu Technology recently produced. However, it has not yet been mass-produced. We have started to produce dozens of samples."

"Mr. Chen, have you started producing chips?"

BBK Vice President Jin Zhijiang said in amazement.

"I feel that chip development is not difficult, so I tried it, and I don't want to make it out. My chip is going to be supplied to major mobile phone manufacturers. Whoever wants it, we can sign a contract now."

After speaking, Chen Yu looked at everyone.

It's just that although everyone was curious, everyone was silent for the time being.

The reason for the silence is also very simple.

Things like chips are not something that can be done just by doing it.

Although you have created it, no one knows how it will perform or what the price will be.

Furthermore, they are also worried about the strength of Universal Technology.

If the chip developed is not very good, it has a fart effect.

For this, Chen Yu also understood.

He didn't blame these people for hesitating. If it were him, he would hesitate too.

However, since he had called them all over, Chen Yu was absolutely sure that they would be tempted.

"It's all my fault, I didn't say the performance of this chip in advance."

"Let me talk about it first... Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Halfway through, Chen Yu stopped introducing the performance.

"I see it this way. I have dozens of samples here. Let's take them home and test them first. This way everyone can understand them clearly and I won't have to introduce them. By the way, remember to keep it secret. For the time being, we can't talk to anyone who came here today. Other mobile phone manufacturers disclosed. Of course, if you accidentally disclose it, you may lose yourself.”
