Chapter 480: Meet Ren Zhengfei's boss

After explaining the blog to Li Xuelin, Chen Yu went to the Huanyu Chip Open Source Fund Department.

The department is headed by Li Biqing.

Although no other manufacturers have joined for the time being, with the addition of 10 million funds for the first task, the Huanyu chip open source plan has been hotly discussed by a number of technology experts around the world.

"Dean, how is that Professor Hamm's design plan?"

"Very nice. Professor Hamm himself is a well-known chip design expert, coupled with the recent exchange with various masters around the world, this plan can be said to be the best in the world. Many researchers believe that if we really design such a chip, then our chip will replace ARM. ”

Li Biqing was also extremely excited.

Before, he thought that it was almost impossible to make chips in China.

But now, although domestic chips have not yet been made, there is already a shadow.

"Let's not talk about whether we will replace ARM for the time being, let's send our 10 million to Professor Hamm first. ”

"Well, that's what I want to discuss with you. ”

"How?"

"That's right. In itself, our task is 10 million, that is, the final solution provider, and we reward him with 10 million. But in terms of our open source forum, not only Professor Hamm, but also technical experts from all over the world. ”

"You mean to give a batch of money to other experts as well? That's fine, but it's a bit tricky. ”

Chen Yu is not a stingy person, so he naturally knows that the idea proposed by Li Biqing is very good.

In this way, regardless of whether your plan is finally adopted or not, it will still give you a certain amount of money.

This also allows more technologists to get involved.

There is just a question of how exactly to reward this fund.

"We researched it, and this is also easy, as long as he is the first to put forward a point of view in our forum and is adopted by our plan or plan, we will give him a certain amount of money as a reward. The premise, of course, is that his ideas must be original. ”

"This one does. ”

Chen Yu nodded: "Dean, this piece will be handed over to you." ”

"Good. ”

"However, the next batch of funds may be a lot more than the first batch of funds. ”

Speaking of which, Li Biqing put forward the next task.

The first task is to come up with a top-level plan.

The plan is done, that is, the specific chip architecture design.

This architecture design is not only about vision and experience, but also about technology.

"Dean, how much do you think you need for the second batch of funds?"

“3000...... A minimum of 20 million is required. ”

"30 million. ”

Seeing that Li Biqing dropped from 30 million to 20 million, Chen Yu directly gave the funds to 30 million.

The advantage of open source chips is that it can concentrate all the technical experts in the world.

But there is also a huge trouble with open source chips.

That is, the amount of money involved is very large.

Probably Li Biqing also took into account the company's situation, so it was reduced from 30 million to 20 million.

It's just that Chen Yu understands the importance of chips better.

The entire chip open source plan cannot be sloppy at all.

Not to mention the use of funds.

Even if a large amount of money is wasted on this piece, Chen Yu has to ensure that the chip open source plan has enough funds.

"Chen Yu, in fact, it is not necessary to have 30 million, 20 million should be fine. ”

"We can't save money by making chips, what we need now is the technology of all the experts in the world, and where we can spend money, we will spend money. ”

"That is to say, but on the one hand, it may be difficult for the company to spend money like this, and it will also require a lot of money in the future. On the other hand, if so much money is thrown, these experts will still be like local tyrants. ”

"Hehe, it's good when we're local tyrants. ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "If they treat us as local tyrants, so they give us all the technology in one go, I am really willing to be this local tyrant." As for the funds, dean, don't worry, you don't have to worry about this, the company has sufficient funds. ”

"Well, I don't care about making money, I just spend it. ”

Since Chen Yu said so, Li Biqing no longer thought about it.

Of course, for Chen Yu, Li Biqing is also more and more appreciative.

Maybe Chen Yu was in school before, and Li Biqing didn't have this feeling.

At most, I think Chen Yu is very good, and he has made such a big career at a young age.

But after joining Huanyu Technology, Li Biqing can really understand Chen Yu's power.

Just like this chip open source plan.

It's not hard to come up with this plan, but the hard part is that you can be so bold to keep throwing money into this plan.

You know, it may take a long time to go from throwing money at it to real commercial use.

Even, even if you spend countless amounts of money and spend countless hours, you may not be able to make money.

But Chen Yu still didn't hesitate.

"By the way, Huawei's President Ren is coming?"

"Well, Ren Zhengfei will come at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Chen Yu, this is an opportunity. ”

"Dean, do you mean to pull Ren Zhengfei to our chip open source program?"

Chen Yu asked.

The chip open source initiative isn't just a matter of funding.

More important ecosystems.

How to build an ecosystem?

This is not something that he can do on his own.

The so-called ecosystem must be joined by countless enterprises around the world, which is the real ecology.

Otherwise, even if your chip performance is extremely high-end, the technology is extremely unique, and even all the chips are blown up. But without the support of other companies, there are no other companies to work together on this ecosystem, and such chips are useless.

Li Biqing naturally knew this, so he suggested to Chen Yu.

"Huawei's technology is very good, and it is also doing top-level technology, and our chip plan is very beneficial to Huawei. ”

"I guess this is also the purpose of Ren Zhengfei's coming to us. ”

"Are you saying that Ren Zhengfei is here for our chip plan?"

"That's right. ”

Chen Yu nodded: "I believe Ren Zhengfei has this vision." ”

......

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yu met with Ren Zhengfei, the CEO of Huawei.

This tech tycoon who was famous in his previous life.

Of course, to be honest, although this big guy is very powerful, Ren Zhengfei was not very famous in the era before smartphones. On the one hand, this is related to his fame, and on the other hand, it is also because before the era of smart phones, Huawei's main business was the underlying business of communication.

Naturally, not too many people pay attention to the underlying business, and even if it is very powerful, it is difficult for ordinary people to know.

But after the era of smart phones, Huawei suddenly expanded the market and entered the civilian field.

And, through its own efforts, Huawei has become the most high-end smartphone in China.

I have to say that in the field of smart phones, Huawei's Ren Zhengfei can be regarded as an absolute boss in China.

However, at this time, Ren Zhengfei has not yet made smartphones.

Not only are they not making smartphones, they don't even have mobile phones.

At this time, Ren Zhengfei was still very young.

It seems that he is only about 50 years old, although his actual age is almost 60 years old now.

On the other side of it.

Compared with Chen Yu's curiosity about Ren Zhengfei, Ren Zhengfei is more interested in Chen Yu.

Chen Yu.

Founded in 2001, 5173 network was established.

In 2002, "World of Legends" was launched, setting the highest simultaneous online record for online games in China.

In 2002, YY replaced QQ and monopolized the domestic instant messaging market.

In 2003, Tianyu mobile phone was launched and the chip open source plan was created......

The above are just some of Chen Yu's parts.

But even partially, it's hard to connect with this young man in his 20s.

Ren Zhengfei once felt that Chen Yu had any special identity.

can look up, Chen Yu's identity is not special at all.

He comes from an ordinary family, his father is quite powerful, and he is the founder of the famous hot pot brand Hot Pot Xi Shi.

All right.

According to rumors, this hot pot Shih Tzu was also Chen Yu's idea.
