"Okay, that's it. Your chipset will complete the design of the GPU chipset before October 1st and the 1GB memory module before December 31st." Xu Zhenming and Zhou Jiawei set the deadline for the design task.
These two tasks are also the subject plans to fill the gaps in the country.Once successful, the ecosystem of the Longteng computer system will be further improved, without relying on similar products from foreigners.
Therefore, Professor Long, who is proficient in computer hardware technology, can’t help but nod his praise, “Xu Dong. You Yiming Group is really very bold.” He knows that the cost of developing new products is relatively high, and ordinary universities and scientific research institutions will not initiate projects. Do this kind of basic research.
In the past few years, there were still people in China who did localization for Windows 1.0 software, and they actually won the Science and Technology Progress Award.With this energy, why doesn't he develop a domestic operating system?The main reason for this is actually one word-"money"!
"Xu Dong, let's discuss the details of the transfer of the Zhuque series CPU patent technology, how about?" Seeing Xu Zhenming's handling of the trivial matters here, Gui Changshu suggested.
Suzaku ICPU and Suzaku IICPU need to do various tests, and it takes at least one day to get a detailed data analysis report.
Xu Zhenming and Gui Changshu must have no time to wait in the laboratory.Therefore, the three of them first returned to Xu Zhenming's office, ready to discuss the details of the terms.
Song Shitian's work is relatively busy, and he has to report back to the capital.
His mission to the Lai Yiming Group Company this time has not yet been completed, so he has not proposed leaving.Seeing that Xu Zhenming was finally free now, he decided to take care of his own affairs first, so that Xu Zhenming was not free.
"Xu Dong. Our Huajing Chip Company is going to sign a technical consultation agreement with you." Song Shitian put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Xu Zhenming across the coffee table.
Xu Zhenming leaned on the sofa and couldn't help being curious about Song Shitian's proposal. "Song Shitian finally got the hang of it? Don't you need a patriotic hat to press me now?"
Nowadays, although the domestic reform and opening up policy has been implemented for nearly two decades, the thinking of many state-owned enterprise bosses has not kept up with the times.
For example, they are willing to spend money on foreigners' technology, but they are unwilling to spend money on domestic companies' technology."You are a Chinese, so good technology should be shared to win glory for the country." That's what they think.
Because of these, the world's first VCD player-"Wanyan" fell on the road to be imitated infinitely.Later, someone said that "Wanyan VCD" would definitely survive as long as it applied for a patent.In a big cottage country, this is probably just a joke.
Besides, applying for an invention patent in China takes one year to get the certificate."Wanyan" couldn't wait, so "Wanyan" disappeared.
Xu Zhenming doesn't want Mingxin Manufacturing Company to go this way, so he has been very careful about the relationship with Changgong Group and Huajing Chip.
He has been using various reasons to prevaricate Song Shitian, saying that Zhang Ndjin has no time to provide technical services for Foundry's manufacturing process.Want technology without spending money?How does this work?
"Lao Song's proposal is better. Our Changgong Group is also willing to sign this kind of technical consultation agreement." At this time, Gui Changshu, who was sitting on the sofa in Xu Zhenming's right hand, also smiled and put down the tea cup in his hand.
Now that the two of them have become acquainted and understand their own ideas, Xu Zhenming can no longer refuse at this time.
"Okay, two leaders. I immediately arranged for the Legal Department to draft the "Foundry Technical Consultation Agreement"." While speaking, he winked at Hu Chunmei who was adding tea to the side.
Hu Chunmei got a hint from her boss and immediately put down her work and hurriedly left the office.Not long after, she and Xiao Mei came together to participate in this informal technical consultation agreement seminar.
"The equipment of the Foundry production line reformed, the technology patent right belongs to Yiming Laboratory."
"Party B shall not transfer the Foundry technology provided by Yiming Laboratory to a third party, and shall not use these technology transfers for profit!"
"Party B pays an advance payment of 5 million yuan to the account, this agreement can take effect. Party A must train 15 Foundry manufacturing process technicians for Party B, and must provide on-site technical services for Party B..."
Soon after, Xiao Mei read the drafted "Foundry Technical Consultation Agreement", one by one, and asked Xu Zhenming, Song Shitian and Gui Changshu to review them.
Once this technical agreement is signed, Yiming Labs will receive 18 million yuan in consulting fees.
You don't need to say that it is expensive. If Xu Zhenming disagrees, Song Shitian and Gui Changshu spent 9 million yuan, really can't buy this kind of technology.
"Well, that's it." After reading the agreement drafted by Xiao Mei, Song Shitian sighed and shook his head helplessly.He didn't expect the technology of Foundry's manufacturing process to be so expensive.
And he didn’t know:
In another time and space, the Huajing Chip Company spent more than one billion yuan in investment projects. The production line originally planned to produce 1.2 million wafers per year, but it has not been able to reach production. It can only produce a few hundred wafers a month.Huajing Chip Company had no choice but to sell the company at a low price. Half of the shares were only worth more than 20 million US dollars.
Relatively speaking, the price given by Xu Zhenming is definitely a price of conscience.
Although Gui Changshu felt that Xu Zhenming's price was more expensive, he wanted Xu Zhenming.
"Our Longbow Group also agrees to the terms of this agreement. Let's sign the agreement sooner." He had to negotiate with Xu Zhenming about the transfer terms of the Suzaku system chip patent technology. He couldn't wait, so he didn't counter-offer.
Since the two big bosses have no objection, this "Foundry Technical Consulting Agreement" will soon complete the signing process.Xu Zhenming and Gui Changshu sent Song Shitian to the downstairs of the office building, before returning to Xu Zhenming's office laughing and talking.
"Party A is willing to authorize the special technology of the Zhuque I and Zhuque II system products to Party B. Party B can use these technologies to develop new products, can use these technologies to manufacture Zhuque I and Zhuque II series products, and can use the trademarks of the Zhuque series products. Do business promotion..."
Soon after, Xiao Mei drafted the "Technology Transfer Agreement for Zhuque Series Products" and handed it to Xu Zhenming and Gui Changshu for review.
According to this agreement, the Longbow Group Company only needs to pay 8 million yuan to Yiming Laboratory to obtain the patented technology of the Suzaku I and Suzaku II series of products.
This sale is particularly advantageous!
Xu Zhenming is almost the same as the delivery technique, almost no money.
If this patented technology is transferred to the international market and does not have three thousand dollars, which company is willing to do such a fool?
Therefore, Gui Changshu was particularly moved. After signing the agreement, he held Xu Zhenming's hand and kept shaking.
"Leader Xu. I will arrange for the Zhuque I and Zhuque II series of chips to be taped out at Mingxin Manufacturing Company." He decided to vote for Li Baotao and thank Xu Zhenming with the order.
After obtaining this technology, many secret departments and units under the Longbow Group can develop unique computer chips suitable for their industries.
Why is Gui Changshu upset?
However, Xu Zhenming is not optimistic about the R&D capabilities of Changgong Group. He can only make repairs, but cannot creatively come up with new products.
Longteng EDA software has been released for so many days, and I haven't heard of any functional chipset from Longbow Group.This time and space are the same as another time and space, and the level of chip design in China is still in its infancy.
But Longgong Group is willing to pay for technology, why not Xu Zhenming?On the spot, he and Gui Changshu finalized the details of the terms, and he waited for the report from Professor Long of the Galaxy Project Group.
April 30, around 2:30 in the afternoon.
Professor Long’s team has finally completed the testing of Zhuque I and Zhuque II series chips.Professor Long came to Xu Zhenming's office with a test report of more than 100 pages.
"President Gui, the Suzaku ICPU and Suzaku II CPU have excellent performance. If these two CPUs are used to develop the Galaxy III, I can ensure that the peak value of the Galaxy III exceeds 100 billion times." He smiled and reported the situation to Gui Changshu.
If the calculation peak exceeds 100 billion times per second, the Galaxy III is the fastest supercomputer in the world.There is no comparable product in the United States' Blue Giant Company.
Supercomputers have always been the battlefield for competition among the world's scientific and technological powers. The United States, island countries and China are chasing each other and secretly competing.
In another time and space, the performance of the "Tianhe" super technical computer aroused the envy of the United States, prohibiting high-performance CPUs from flowing into China.As a result, the plans for the Tianhe supercomputer series products came to a halt.
But now, as long as the Longbow Group is willing to pay, Xu Zhenming is still willing to use the two series of Zhuque I and Zhuque II chips to continue to work for the country and develop faster CPUs.He would certainly not do such stupid things without paying money and using his love to generate electricity.
"Leader Xu, since the Suzaku series CPUs are okay, we will finalize the patent transfer agreement and order today."
Gui Changshu was very excited at this time.
If the Galaxy III surpasses all the supercomputers in the United States, it also has his share of credit, why not be happy?
"Yes, yes, Mr. Gui is right. The Galaxy III chip procurement plan should be finalized immediately, without delaying the research and development plan." Professor Long's mood is similar to that of Gui Changshu, and he decided to return a large order to Yiming Lab.
Looking at the red faces of the two of them, Xu Zhenming nodded with a grin, picked up the phone and called Hu Chunmei to make Hu Chunmei immediately prepare the documents for signing the contract.
Not long after, Xu Zhenming and Gui Changshu, witnessed by Professor Long, signed an agreement to transfer the patented technology of the Zhuque series of chips.
After signing the technology transfer agreement, Professor Gui Changshu and Professor Long started negotiations with Xu Zhenming to discuss the details of the supply of the Galaxy III supercomputer chipset.Xiao Mei was invited by Hu Chunmei to participate in the drafting of the order agreement.
"Party B must provide GPU samples to Party A before October 15, 1996, and 1GB memory stick samples to Party A before October 15, 1997. If the supply of the above products cannot be completed, Party B should notify A one month in advance Fang. Can this clause work?"
Xiao Mei recites the prepared terms while typing, and asks Xu Zhenming to discuss with Gui Changshu and others.
"Um... the time advance is a little bit short. If Yiming Lab cannot complete this design task, our project team will have to contact foreign investors to order, and the time will be very tight."
Professor Long frowned, a little worried about Xu Zhenming's one-month advance.
Gui Changshu did not understand computer knowledge, but in order to ensure the progress of the Galaxy III project, he could not help but nodded.He supported Professor Long's opinion and believed that the time set by Xu Zhenming was a little too small, and the Galaxy Project Team of the Longbow Group should be notified two months in advance.
However, Xu Zhenming disagreed with the two of them. "There are no ready-made products in the world for 64-bit GPU chips that support 3D technology and VGL standards. It must be re-developed. Is there any company better than our Yiming Lab. Progress block?"
"For the same reason, there is no off-the-shelf product for a 1GB memory stick. Any foreign company that receives an order from your Longbow Group will have to re-development. Who can guarantee that it will come up with a GPU that meets the Galaxy III supercomputer within 9 months And a 1GB memory stick?"
Xu Zhenming asked Professor Long with a smile.
He said these issues are facts, and Professor Long knows best.
Professor Long is actually eager to take out the Galaxy III supercomputer as soon as possible.
In the supercomputer industry, the United States, island countries, and China have been fighting secretly.He worried that the Galaxy III would have fallen behind the new supercomputers of the island countries and the United States before it came out.
Xu Zhenming could understand his mood and waved his hand with a smile, "Professor Long, your project team can design the Galaxy III into an upgradable model. If not, increase the number of Suzaku II chips and increase the peak value to 1 trillion times. The fastest supercomputer is definitely the Galaxy III."
"I also know the truth, but the funds are insufficient. Our Galaxy III still has to purchase hard disk array cabinets and service hard disks from IBM. The project funds are not enough. So, eh..." Professor Long shook his head.
Hearing this, Xu Zhenming laughed instead, "Professor Long. Why buy a foreigner's hard drive array cabinet and server hard drive?"
"If you don't buy foreigners, do domestic companies need to produce hard drives?" Professor Long sighed disapprovingly, looking at Xu Zhenming a little helpless.
There are so many domestic universities and many scientific research institutions, but none of them has established a project to develop hard disk technology.
No one cares about this kind of thankless, energy-intensive, and slow-to-achieve project.
Even Professor Long’s own team is actually unwilling to spend time and energy on developing hard disk technology!
Make it better than buy it!
There are such products in the international market. Who else can settle down to engage in the development of robotic hard drives?
Professor Long looked at Xu Zhenming with this feeling, and felt a little embarrassed.
"Our Yiming Group is building a hard disk manufacturing plant in Minnan City, Fujian Province. According to the plan, this hard disk manufacturing plant should be put into operation at the end of August 1996."
At this time, Xu Zhenming gave out a news that shocked Professor Long.
"Your company also invested in a hard drive manufacturing plant?"
"Isn't Yiming Group an all-round enterprise in computing?"
Professor Long widened his eyes and looked at Xu Zhenming, wanting to get an affirmative answer.
As a patriotic Chinese, he also hopes that domestic companies can supply all the spare parts for the Galaxy III supercomputer.If the Galaxy III is a real domestic product, his old face is radiant.
"We have dug a technical team from companies such as IMB, Quantum, Seagate, etc., and are developing SCSI interface hard drives. We are developing hot-swappable hard drives. If Professor Long waits, the Galaxy III is the real domestic supercomputer."
Seeing Professor Long's astonishment, Xu Zhenming introduced the situation of the hard disk manufacturing plant in Minnan with confidence.
"Okay, that's it. Your chipset will complete the design of the GPU chipset before October 1st and the 1GB memory module before December 31st." Xu Zhenming and Zhou Jiawei set the deadline for the design task.
These two tasks are also the subject plans to fill the gaps in the country.Once successful, the ecosystem of the Longteng computer system will be further improved, without relying on similar products from foreigners.
