Haotian Research Institute, Chairman's Office.

Feng Hao pondered, pondered, thinking of the current situation of Haotian Research Institute.

The communication R&D center and the chip R&D center are two centers in urgent need of development. This year, they must try their best to develop and make breakthroughs.

4G and 5G communications must be the focus of the future!

And Haotian's communication R&D center must keep up with the progress as soon as possible and accelerate the accumulation of technology.

One or two years later, 4G communication was officially commercialized, and Haotian faced many problems.

Now in the commercial 3G era, Haotian has fallen behind.

In the coming 4G era, it will be difficult for Haotian to catch up with the advanced ranks.

As for the future 5G era, Haotian will have to rise to the challenge, try to keep up with the advanced ranks, and even surpass them!

In the field of communications, Haotian at least can no longer suffer!

Compared with the communication field, the chip R&D center faces a more difficult situation.

No matter how difficult it is, Haotian needs to overcome it!

The technical barriers to chip design and production cannot be easily broken.

Haotian Research Institute has a design plan for 32nm bionic chips. What is missing is the production process and the technology to turn drawings into real chips!

As a reborn person, Feng Hao knows the development trend of chips in the future.

TSMC is gradually rising, and is preparing to choose to cooperate with European and American countries, focusing on chip foundry.

UMC chose a completely different direction, chip design, foundry, and production. In the face of choice, Taiwan UMC wants all of them directly.

But in the end it backfired!

The reality is often so cruel, the more you think about it, the more you lose everything in the end.

In the next few years, UMC lacked focus in the field of chips, and its technology fell behind a lot.

Samsung Electronics is the same choice, self-developed and self-produced.

But after all, the ability is limited, and there is no way to invest so much energy.

Chip foundries or manufacturers at home and abroad are dealing with an era of change, which is equivalent to leaving a ray of life for Haotian.

We must seize the opportunity now and have enough voice in the chip field, otherwise we will be restricted by Europe and the United States in the future.

"Jin Yue, are you free now? Come to my office."

Taking the phone next to him, Feng Hao called Jin Yue's number and asked him to come to his office.

Before long, there was a knock on the door.

"come in."

Feng Hao thought that Jin Yue came, put down the information in his hand, and responded casually.

"Mr. Feng, hello."

Not long after, Jin Yue walked in and greeted Feng Hao with a smile.

"Sit down, you're welcome."

Feng Hao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, motioned him to sit down, and said to him with a smile.

"Jin Yue, this year's task on your side is very heavy!"

This is the chip director of Haotian Research Institute, a high-end talent dug from other chip design companies with high salaries, and a rare elite.

For a long time, his evaluation of Jin Yue was very high!

"Mr. Feng, regarding chips, it is my duty. At present, our chip research center lacks key production channels, and we must seek new production solutions."

Jin Yue sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and his face was serious.

He is very aware of the difficulties of the chip R&D center. At present, Haotian Research Institute has a design plan for 32nm bionic chips, but there is a lack of foundry channels for production.

There are many manufacturers at home and abroad. There are foreign foundries and manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony, and there are many domestic foundries such as SMIC, Taiwan UMC, TSMC and so on.

Finding a foundry is relatively simple, but unfortunately his boss doesn't think like this!

"Jin Yue, how's your research on the latest 32nm bionic chip?"

Feng Hao has provided 32nm bionic chips to the chip R&D center for some time, and now he is asking Jinyue about the progress.

The 32 bionic chips exchanged from the black technology system are definitely a novel design scheme. There is no reference to the ARM architecture at all, and they are all designed from 0.

The research is quite difficult. Even if Feng Hao has many Cola and Sprite who have improved his studies, it still takes a lot of time to understand the principle.

The more I understand, the more shocked!

Produced by black technology, it must be a boutique!

Such a peculiar bionic chip can feel the superiority of its performance simply from its principle and design architecture.

Feng Hao dared to assert that, compared with other chips, the chips produced by Black Technology have improved performance by at least 30% and reduced energy consumption by 20%!

"Mr. Feng, this is definitely a design idea and structure that we have never seen before. It is extremely awesome!"

Mentioning the 32nm chip again, Jin Yue said with a surprised look on his face.

From his point of view that he specializes in chips, this is definitely an unprecedented design and an absolutely good solution.

Independent of other design architectures, specialized bionic category chips. The performance is definitely improved a lot, and the energy consumption will also be reduced a lot.

"Jinyue, you have to understand all these chip technologies and achieve mass production as soon as possible. At the same time, we have to accumulate more knowledge and technology to innovate again. Now it is 32nm, and in the future, we will definitely upgrade the chip to 16nm. level."

Feng Hao had a smile on his face, his eyes were firm and confident, and the R&D capabilities of the entire chip center had to be improved.

Today's Haotian Research Institute has achieved good results, but it is only a smartphone R&D center and an artificial intelligence R&D center.

As for chips and other aspects, there is still no innovation and accumulation of sufficiently strong black technology, which is quite weak.

"Mr. Feng, our chip R&D center will definitely go all out to study the design scheme of 32nm chips seriously."

"Come on! The chips of Haotian Research Institute have to rely on you."

"Mr. Feng, you are under considerable pressure, but I believe our team will handle it properly. Now we have almost thoroughly researched the design of the 32nm chip. As for the current basis, we will develop newer technologies, even It’s a 16nm chip, so I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult for the time being.”

"Difficult?"

"Mr. Feng, you look down on our team too much. This can be done overnight."

Facing President Feng's question, Jin Yue showed bitterness, couldn't help shaking his head, and answered with difficulty.

To say that their boss does not understand technology, right?

Know the technology at all!

He had heard that Feng Hao's research and development ability was at the level of a super Daniel, quite sharp.

Can you say that the boss understands technology?

But Feng Hao's question made him very helpless. Do you really think that chip design and chip production are easy? !

Chip design, production, and measurement, nothing is easy!

These all have absolute technical barriers, and ordinary enterprises cannot enter the game at all!

Jin Yue's words made Feng Hao take the opportunity to come down, but the problem must be solved.

So he said, "Of course I know this, but we don't have much time. You must know the disputes between UMC, TSMC, and SMIC in recent years, right?"

"President Feng, I understand this."

Jin Yue nodded and responded affirmatively.

The competition between TSMC, TSMC and SMIC is naturally very familiar.

He was in contact with these last year, and even went to UMC and SMIC, and had contact with these companies.

The boss of TSMC comes from TSMC, which is the original overlord, and the boss of SMIC comes from TSMC. Due to policy reasons, both TSMC and UMC are unable to build factories and sell chips in the mainland, while SMIC is the most important chip manufacturer in the mainland.

Disputes between TSMC and UMC continue, and TSMC is suing SMIC. There are contradictions and conflicts between these chip manufacturers.

"Jinyue, since you know it, you must know that now is undoubtedly the best time. On the one hand, we will speed up the development of the chip design plan, and on the other hand, we will find a cooperative chip foundry."

"Of course I know this situation, and the research and development of chips must invest more effort, such as capital and manpower."

"Of course there is no problem. Funds and manpower will definitely be sufficient."

Facing Feng Hao's request, Jin Yue pondered for a moment, looked solemn, and responded to his request seriously.

As for the needs of capital and manpower, Feng Hao will of course satisfy Jin Yue. Of course, he knows that the design and production of chips are projects that consume resources.

But no matter how difficult it was, he would grit his teeth and persevere.

Besides, Haotian Research Institute is currently fully funded, and nearly 10 billion of funds are lying in Haotian's bank account!

"Mr. Feng, this is yours. With sufficient funds and manpower, it will be much easier for us to develop and design chips. As for the foundry and production of chips, do you still need to follow your original ideas?"

"Of course, this is an unchangeable plan. Cooperating with other chip companies to set up new foundry companies has always been my idea."

"Mr. Feng, you can predict the difficulty. Although UMC is willing to agree to our request for development, and set up a chip foundry company with Haotian and SMIC. But SMIC does not agree, the three parties lack any Neither side can make it happen!"

"If there is no difficulty, you definitely don't need to go out!"

In the face of chip production, Feng Hao must have a certain right to speak. No matter how much money you spend, don't hesitate!

When he was reborn in his previous life, he witnessed the banning of the Huaxia chip industry with his own eyes!

No core available!

"You are killing me! However, the recent situation of SMIC seems to be not very optimistic. I can try again."

When Feng Hao's voice fell, Jin Yue's face became more solemn. But the boss's request, he had to do it!

"Don't worry, the whole Haotian Research Institute is your support!"

Seeing Jin Yue's promise, Feng Hao immediately encouraged him. Jin Yue is undoubtedly a very good candidate, and letting him go can save a lot of problems.

"President Feng, I will definitely do my best!"

Nodding, Jin Yue shrugged and agreed.

He understands Feng Hao's idea, which is to let Haotian Research Institute have a complete industrial chain.

From hardware to software, from chip to system, it is firmly in the hands of Haotian.

"Jinyue, you have arranged the research on the 32nm chip, and you are ready to set off for SMIC again, and try to start the negotiation again!"

"Mr. Feng, Zhang Rujing encountered some difficulties this time, maybe we can take the opportunity to make a move."

"What exactly happened?"

"Currently, with SMIC's internal and external troubles, Zhang Rujing is said to be impeached by some shareholders and may be ousted from office by taking the opportunity."

"There's this thing, it's an opportunity."

Feng Hao's expression brightened when he heard this.

This information may be an opportunity for Haotian to invest in SMIC!

"Mr. Feng, I just heard about it, and I still need to confirm the situation."

"It's okay, then you can leave as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'm ready, I'll set off for the magic capital."

"Come on! The chip is up to you!"

"Okay, I must live up to the heavy trust!"
