Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

This is also the reason why a series of domestic mobile phone manufacturers dare not take precautions.

In the first step, you didn't keep up with the rhythm of Tianyu's mobile phone, and in the second step, you were led away by them.

But if you don't follow suit, you won't be able to reduce production costs.

If your production cost does not decrease, how can you beat Huanyu Technology?

For this, Xu Ban is naturally aware of this.

but.

Nokia is no ordinary mobile phone maker.

What others can't do, they Nokia may not be able to do.

Other mobile phone manufacturers do not have this strength, but Nokia has this strength.

Can Tianyu mobile phone really monopolize the ultra-low-end mobile phone market?

We Nokia refused to accept.

"Manager Jiang, finish the plan in the next few days, and I will apply to the headquarters."

Xu Ban said.

Chapter 495: Epistar Foundry

"Mr. Chen, congratulations."

"President Ren?"

"Why, is it strange that I called you?"

At noon, Chen Yu received a call from Ren Zhengfei.

"It's not. The main reason is that I poached Mr. Ren's two generals before, and I feel very sorry."

"Mr. Chen is being modest. Gao Ji and He Hongbo are both talents. I hope you treat them well."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ren, it's natural."

"I also trust Mr. Chen. By the way, when are you free to meet?"

"President Ren, what's the matter?"

"I want to talk to you about the mobile phone business."

"let me see……"

Chen Yu was thinking about the future schedule.

Of course, he didn't understand Ren Zhengfei's plan for a while, so he didn't agree so soon.

Ren Zhengfei probably also saw Chen Yu's hesitation, and said, "Don't think about it, when will you be free, and when will we talk."

"Then I will call Mr. Ren."

hang up the phone.

Chen Yu was a little strange.

Ren Zhengfei wants to talk to him about the mobile phone business?

Will not find their own Pk it.

Thinking that Huawei mobile phones didn't even have a brand name, Chen Yu felt a little bit of a sense of accomplishment.

However, Ren Zhengfei was not so boring.

This boss-level character has an extremely strong heart.

Not to mention defeating their mobile phone business now, even if it has launched an impact on their core business, he can fight you to the end.

Just like Huawei now.

They are not as good as Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, or Samsung in the communications business.But relying on their incomparable fighting spirit, they finally surpassed a series of foreign giants.

"Forget it, don't think about them."

Chen Yu couldn't figure it out for a while, so he didn't think about it any more.

Do your own thing first.

Tianyu mobile phone seized the ultra-low-end market is only the first step for Huanyu Technology to enter the mobile phone field.

Chen Yu doesn't want to just focus on the low-end market.

In the future, Chen Yu will also enter the mid-end, mid-to-high-end, high-end, top, and even the top cutting-edge markets.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu called Wu Kai and Liang Bo over.

"Liang Bo, how is your situation here?"

"Mr. Chen, we have already started data research and preliminary design for mid-range mobile phones."

"What about the technical aspect?"

"We have made breakthroughs in dual-card dual-standby technology, including resistive screen technology. We have applied for patents for both technologies."

"it is good."

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 development of resistive screens and capacitive screens.

But Wu Kai never doubted Chen Yu's vision.

Then, Chen Yu went to the chip open source department.

"Manager He, get used to it."

"Very good. Mr. Chen, just call me Tingbo."

He Tingbo is a technical madman, and he immediately took up his post as soon as he joined Universal Technology.

For this reason, Chen Yu assigned He Tingbo to the chip open source department, and first familiarized himself with the entire chip open source plan.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect our chip open source foundation to be so huge."

"It doesn't matter if it's not huge. We start from scratch, and everything has to be considered clearly."

"It seems that I am right to join Universal Technology."

"Did you just confirm it now?"

Chen Yu said with a smile: "Isn't it because I fooled you here before?"

"No, but after joining the company, we became more aware of our goals."

"Well, we can't rely entirely on the Open Source Foundation, though."

After speaking, Chen Yu said to Li Biqing on the side: "Dean, how is the discussion with Center International?"

"all the best."

"Mr. Chen, Center International, do we want to process chips ourselves?"

He Hongbo was extremely surprised: "It's not necessary for now."

Although He Hongbo has always wanted to produce a purely domestic Chinese chip.

However, what Hongbo He studies is also the chip architecture. As for chip processing, there are naturally other companies to do it.

Such as Center International.

Center International is a wafer foundry.

The so-called wafer refers to a semiconductor transistor or an integrated circuit substrate.

To manufacture a chip, there is not only a chip structure, but also wafer processing.

However, wafer processing is a very complicated technology, and ordinary enterprises cannot master it.

There are only a dozen companies in the world that can master wafer processing.

Center International is one of them.

But before that, most companies would not do chip processing.

Generally, if a company wants to make its own chip, he only needs to figure out the chip architecture first, and then throw it to the wafer foundry.It's like making a mobile phone. You only need to prepare the design drawings and electronic components, and I can assemble them for you.Of course, wafer foundry is much more skilled than mobile phone assembly.

He Hongbo thought the same way.

All walks of life are more and more finely divided, and there is no need to do everything.

Some things can be handed over to other companies.

And, they do it more efficiently.

But Chen Yu didn't think so: "I think it's necessary."

Facing He Hongbo, Chen Yu asked: "Hongbo, let me ask you a question first, why do you want to make chips?"

"My major is semiconductors. Of course I want to make our own chips. Of course, the more important reason is that we don't have our own chips in China yet."

"No, it's not for this reason, it's because foreign chip giants will pinch our necks."

It's actually quite understandable.

If everyone in the world is fair, everyone can naturally do their own things.

Even if our side does not have it, but other countries do, we can cooperate with them.

But the world is not like this.

Chips are not something that if you want to cooperate, others will cooperate with you.

This is why we make chips ourselves.

"Similarly, why Center International was established is that we have our own wafer foundry. If not, even if we come up with an extremely powerful chip architecture, other wafer foundries won't make it for us? "

At present, the most advanced foundry company in the world is called TSMC.

This is a Taiwanese wafer foundry.

Of course, if it's just a Taiwanese company, that's all. It's impossible for Chen Yu to have such a crisis.

But the key point is that 80% of TSMC's shareholders are foreign capital.

In the event of an accident, whether TSMC can still help you with the foundry is a question.

In the previous life, the United States actually had such a plan to block and escalate.

It's just because it involves too much, and they haven't implemented it so quickly at the moment.

But everyone knows that whether it is chip architecture or chip processing, the neck is choked by foreign countries.

To avoid being strangled by them.

The first one needs to have its own chip architecture.

The second part is to have its own wafer foundry.

The third part is to build a chip ecosystem.

Of course, in fact, Center International's technology is very general.

The company, founded in 2000, is several generations behind TSMC's technology.

Even in the previous life of 2020, the technology of Center International and TSMC is still two generations behind.

However, for Chen Yu now, Center International is just right.

Chen Yu didn't want to make high-end chips, he only wanted to make low-end chips now.

"understood."

Although Chen Yu didn't say much, He Hongbo understood it instantly.

Seeing He Hongbo wake up, Chen Yu continued: "Our chip foundation has not long been established. Although it is developing well now, the entire structure has not yet been completed. While we are completing the chip structure, we are also using arm company’s technology to make our low-end chips.”

Of course, making low-end chips is not the goal, the goal is that the entire chip process must go through it all.
