Magic City, the central group.

The Center Group is still very well-known in Modu, especially after the smartphone came out, the public knew that there were very critical devices and chips in it.

After all, when buying a smartphone, the first thing people understand is the hardware configuration parameters, and the hardware configuration parameters involve chips and other data. As a chip manufacturer, the Central Group is naturally also known by people.

The trial production laboratory manufactured by the Central Group has been very busy recently, and has attracted much attention. Of course, the degree of confidentiality is also very high.

This is the next very critical part of the Central Group, and it is also a part of success or failure.

It is done, the center group has the technology to produce 28nm process chips, and the future is promising.

If they fail, they will consume countless high-end talents and energy, and waste money and time. Funds are second, but time is the most precious. Absolutely have the lead.

The president and technical director of the group often appear here to pay close attention to the progress of the trial production and related situations.

Jinyue has been with the magic capital, that is, with the trial production laboratory of the central group, to follow up the trial production and solve related problems for the past six months.

In addition to Jinyue, the chip team of Haotian Group also gathered here to optimize and follow up related issues.

There are about fifty backbones in this team. They are the best members of the Haotian chip team. Doctors and master students account for most of them.

For the successful trial production of 28nm chips, Haotian Group, Center Group and China Microelectronics Group have made a lot of efforts.

Recently, there have been signs of success, so they are resident in the pilot production laboratory of the Central Group, and they are almost inseparable.

Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong came to the trial production laboratory early and wanted to follow up on the latest situation. As soon as they came to the company, they came together.

They met Jin Yue just as they were about to walk into the trial production laboratory, so they quickly greeted and asked about the situation, "Mr. Jin, hello, how is the chip trial production?"

Jin Yue was thinking about something when he was suddenly interrupted. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong.

He quickly responded with a smile. This is the president and technical director of the Center Group, and he is also an acquaintance. "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liang, good morning. The progress of chip trial production is still not great, but we should be confident."

Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong heard the words, their faces were a little disappointed, but they were still the same, "Okay, we know, I hope to make a breakthrough and get the first sample."

Their recent efforts are not without results, and now they are stuck at the last step, which is also the hardest one.

This step is completed, the chip is basically completed, and it is just a step away.

Jin Yue also understands the mentality and pressure of Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong. They must also know that Brother Hao came to Modu yesterday, and Brother Hao will also visit and inspect the Center Group.

Brother Hao is very concerned about the trial production of 28nm chips. He often asks them about their progress, but they often don't have a good answer.

He squeezed out a smile and encouraged, "President Zhang, President Liang, let's go in and have a look. Maybe a breakthrough will be made in the near future, and it's just a key difficulty."

Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong nodded slightly, maybe the latest plan is feasible?

So they agreed, "Mr. Jin, let's go, let's take a look."

Zhang Rujing, Jin Yue, and Liang Mengsong soon entered the chip trial production laboratory and participated in related discussions and experiments.

They are the elites of this industry, and Liang Mengsong is the technical director, with strong technical reserves and experience. So they are going to work hard and try to get the product out.

Soon, the employees of the central group discovered that the president and technical director had been staying in the pilot production laboratory.

In their final efforts, the trial production of the chip finally made a breakthrough.

...

Feng Hao has been visiting and guiding Haotian Liying Entertainment Group, the famous Chinese website, Jingying Film and other subsidiaries for the past two days.

On the whole, the operation is quite good. It turns out that these subsidiaries have developed quite well. After being acquired by Haotian Liying Entertainment, they invested capital and achieved good development.

These subsidiaries give full play to their original advantages, continue to innovate and carry out reforms, and their market shares continue to increase.

For these subsidiaries, market share is the most critical, and now is the best time to expand in the Internet era, become bigger and stronger, accumulate reputation, and then harvest and make profits in the future.

Feng Hao certainly understands the reason, so in the early stage, the goal is not to make profits, but to expand the market and increase the scale of revenue.

At night, he returned to Liu Feifei's house, thinking about the follow-up arrangements.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he still has something to do, and both the Center Group and China Microelectronics must visit.

These two group companies are very important and have irreplaceable importance. China Microelectronics is responsible for the production and manufacture of chip production equipment such as lithography machines and etching machines, which are the foundation of chip manufacturing. The Center Group is an enterprise that manufactures chips, and has built a relatively complete production line and testing production line.

After he invested heavily in the Central Group, he did not spend less time, and followed up with several capital injections and expansions. Currently, he holds 49.9% of the Central Group's shares and is the controlling shareholder. As for the remaining shares, the branches are in Datang, Magic Capital and other companies.

For chips, Feng Hao of course attaches great importance to it. Before the rise of smartphones, he made the layout of the chips.

In terms of chip design, Haotian Group can have very high technology, through the black technology system, it can be exchanged for chips with 28nm process, and in the future, it has also obtained chips supported by 16nm.

Now the technology that the chip R&D center continues to research is still the design scheme of the 28nm process, and it is trying to mass-produce it. It is said that there is good news.

As for the latest 16nm support chip, Feng Hao neither took it out nor handed it over to Jinyue, which is not necessary for the time being.

Only after the stable production of 28nm can be expected to produce lithography machines and etching machines, he will try to take out 16nm.

In terms of chip manufacturing, the center group mainly produces and manufactures chips. The original production process is not high, but through the introduction of technology from Japan and South Korea, it has also been improved to a certain extent.

In addition, Feng Hao pays special attention to the development of the central group, and directly increases the investment in R&D. The current R&D investment accounts for more than 25% of the revenue, which is a very scary value.

You must know that the investment quota of many large enterprises is only about 10% of the revenue, which is very small.

The Center Group has been cooperating with Haotian Group's chip subsidiary in the trial production of 28nm chips recently.

In terms of chip equipment, China Microelectronics Group is the main group, which has been committed to the research and development of high-end equipment. After being wholly acquired by Haotian Venture Capital, it invested a huge amount of money to develop.

It is not only huge investment in research and development, but also huge investment in equipment and technology, which is as high as one billion.

The chip technology of Japan and South Korea is relatively developed, and there are not too many restrictions at this stage. China Microelectronics caught a loophole and successfully purchased these technologies.

Now, China Microelectronics can design and manufacture quite high-precision etching machines and lithography machines, and then invest huge amounts of money. I believe that more results will be achieved in the future.

At this time, various information flashed through Feng Hao's mind. In the future, the chip must be a very important part.

Smartphones, smart tablets, smart phones, new energy vehicles, the Internet of Things, etc., all require a large number of chips.

Haotian Group does not want to be sanctioned by overseas companies. To achieve better development, it must implement independent innovation and fully localize.

At present, the only place that Haotian Group can be restricted is undoubtedly chip manufacturing and networking. Is it even bigger in chip manufacturing, but Feng Hao is already actively deploying.

Fortunately, the achievements that cannot be achieved now, as long as we continue to invest, Haotian Group will definitely continue to grow and become stronger.

Feng Hao, who was contemplating, was suddenly interrupted by Liu Feifei. Liu Feifei asked about the location of the next dinner, "Hao, you came back very early today, where shall we go to eat later?"

Feng Hao thought for a while, but there is no better place for now, "Mr. Feifei, you can decide, I don't have a good suggestion for now."

He is definitely not familiar with Liu Feifei as far as the magic capital is concerned, so it might be a good choice for Liu Feifei to decide.

Liu Feifei nodded, pondered for a moment, and responded, "Then let's go to Pudong, there is a food street there, and there are a few small shops that are very good."

Feng Hao naturally had no opinion, nodded slightly, and responded happily, "Okay, then go over there."

Knowing that Feng Hao was thinking about things just now, Liu Feifei asked with concern, "Hao, were you thinking about work just now? Is there any problem that is difficult to solve?"

She knows that Feng Hao's work is very intensive. In the past two days, she has been visiting and guiding the subsidiary of Haotian Liying Entertainment, optimizing the structure and guiding the future development direction.

She may not be able to share anything, but she can listen to the little man's thoughts and let him not be too stressed.

In Liu Feifei's view, this little man has done a very good job, better than 99.99% of people.

It only took him two or three years to go from starting from scratch to his current billion-dollar fortune, which is a very scary speed.

This can definitely be called technology changing destiny and knowledge changing destiny.

The companies founded by this little man are basically high-tech, such as Hacker Technology, Haotian Group, and Zhaoyi Innovation Technology.

Feng Hao was stunned when he heard Liu Feifei's caring words, this teacher Feifei still pays attention to this.

He pondered for a moment. In fact, he didn't want this woman to know too much about his career difficulties, but then he thought that the two of them were lovers, and some things needed to be shared with each other.

Advance and retreat together, and sometimes promote the feelings of both sides.

So Feng Hao raised his brows and responded with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Feifei doesn't believe me. Since you want to hear it, I'll talk about it. As long as it is the current problem of chip manufacturing, we lack high-precision equipment for chip manufacturing. , many chip designs cannot be turned into concrete products.”

Liu Feifei was a little dazed when she heard Feng Hao's words about related technologies. She was not a science student, so she really didn't understand these things.

She thought for a while, "Then can we buy it? With the wealth of Haotian Group, it's not too difficult to buy, right?"

Feng Hao understood, smiled and said, "You have a good idea, but this kind of technology is most suitable only if it is in your own hands. Otherwise, if others don't sell it to you, you will be finished."

Liu Feifei nodded slightly and could only encourage, "Then invest more, make the related industry chain develop better, and improve related technologies."

Feng Hao agreed, "This is natural. Haotian Group has been doing this all the time. Okay, it's time for us to go."

He looked at the time, it was almost time for dinner.

Liu Feifei accepted it with all her might, and did not continue to inquire about Feng Hao's work.

She still takes care of her own work first, and takes care of the Haotian Liying Entertainment Group for him, so that he can worry less about it.

So the two started to set off and went to Pudong for dinner. The shop recommended by Feifei Liu is really good, with all the colors and flavors, and also very authentic food.

After Feng Hao and Liu Feifei had dinner, they didn't return immediately. Instead, they walked around the magic capital holding hands. They didn't return to the house at Jingying Film and Television until midnight.

The next day, Feng Hao took Wu Feng, Luo Zijie, and Wu Feng towards the center group.

Just yesterday, Qualcomm released the latest process chip, which is the latest product of Snapdragon, which is the first product Qualcomm brought to the market. They all use the latest CPU core and support dual-channel 333MHz LPDDR2 memory, and use a more advanced 45nm process, which greatly reduces power consumption.

Qualcomm officially launched a new product, and it is also the chip that will be launched next year, and it is also a product that they have high hopes for.

Of course, the product style has come out, but there is still a certain distance from mass production.

Generally speaking, it will take at least half a year after a new chip launch conference before it can be used by mobile phone manufacturers.

In other words, Xiaolong's latest chip product released last night will not be applied to mobile phones until the middle of next year.

In fact, Qualcomm is preparing to issue a warning to Haotian Group and Haotian Mobile.

After all, Qualcomm has intentionally communicated and contracted with Haotian Group before. Their latest 45nm chip is about to be launched, and they want to reach an order.

However, the Haotian Group has been delaying and has not given a clear response. This made Qualcomm a little flustered and wanted to oppress Haotian Group, so there was this chip conference.

They originally planned to release it at the beginning of next year. At that time, it will just match the development and launch of Haotian mobile phones, but now they have to change the plan.

The chip of a smartphone is the core, or the core of the core, a very critical device.

The improvement of the chip technology is naturally conducive to the development of smartphones and improves the overall performance.

So Qualcomm's chip conference caused waves of sensations in the industry, which was tantamount to a major earthquake.
