226 It is impossible to sell (4/6)
The couple were idle in the living room, and the bigwigs were receiving a dimensionality reduction blow from pure IQ in Wang Yufei's bedroom.
"So this is the computer you use every day to draw and inspect?"
Yu Xingwei pointed to the two computers and said.
Although he also saw the rudimentary curtains and neat floors, he ignored them and was only interested in computers.
Yes, even if the two computers add up to more than 110,000 yuan, plus other external equipment, it will cost at least 200,000 yuan.
Yu Xingwei was still shocked.
"Yes, the effect is indeed not very good, and it is getting more and more stuck. It's time to upgrade. I have already placed an order online, but it has not yet arrived, so I can only use this to make do with it first. Wang Yufei explained.
"Well, don't dwell on the details. In the past, when computer computing power depended on distribution, the predecessors did not necessarily rely only on abacus and slide rule, and used people to form a matrix to complete matrix calculations, and finally designed a nuclear bomb. It doesn't matter if the tool is rudimentary or not, let's listen to the child's introduction first. ”
Gao Deyuan gave a different opinion.
Of course, the horror in the old professor's heart was actually no less than Yu Xingwei.
These devices are really rudimentary.
But does it matter?
Unimportant!
......
Now that the computer was turned on, Wang Yufei began to present his recent research results to the two masters.
The design drawings were opened one by one, and Wang Yufei introduced various logical ideas, pioneering algorithms, and test results as concisely as possible.
The part that Lu Yuxin is responsible for is explained by this genius girl herself.
Of course, it is impossible to explain everything in a short period of time, and even if it is already as simple as possible, it took about two hours.
In the end, Yu Xingwei concluded: "Basically, the design of the pickling film has been completed and it can be taped out!"
Gao Deyuan shook his head and said: "It's too radical, I think it still has to go through more rigorous laboratory tests, and then send it to tape-out! After all, this is a new architecture, and it does not use the current industry-standard electronic unit library, not to mention the limited choice of Foudry manufacturers, the investment in tape-out is greater than that of CPU." ”
"ACCORDING TO THE DESIGNED 7NM PROCESS, YOUR KUNPENG SERIES WILL COST MORE THAN 30 MILLION US DOLLARS TO TAPE OUT, RIGHT? MORE THAN 200 MILLION YUAN! NOT TO MENTION THIS NEW ELECTRONIC UNIT LIBRARY, YOU HAVE TO READJUST THE EQUIPMENT, AND YOU WILL DEFINITELY HAVE TO INCREASE THE PRICE, SO I WILL COUNT IT AS 300 MILLION!"
"Moreover, once the Foudry manufacturer is determined, it cannot be replaced at will, otherwise the relevant circuits will have to be redesigned according to other people's processes! It is another additional expense! Who dares to guarantee that the Foudry manufacturer will not sit on the ground and raise the price? If this is taped out three or five times, you are financially rich and supportive for China, and we don't have the confidence to do so. ”
Yes, in terms of funding, the older generation of professors who advocate frugality are right.
The tape-out is 300 million at a time, and if the return detection is not successful, the error correction and readjustment design will be another 300 million......
Where can the average person's wallet withstand this kind of toss?
Wang Yufei is indeed a rich man now, although Gao Deyuan doesn't know how much money Wang Yufei has, but he has assets of hundreds of millions.
After all, whether it is snatching Changxiang Technology from He Solo, or Apple winning the second system, Gao Deyuan has a general understanding of this matter.
This amount of money is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but for the chip industry, it is not enough to get started.
That's why the two little guys are too powerful.
Otherwise, this money will probably be invested in the early stage of research and development......
"What does Professor Gao mean by this? Can this money still be used by you? Or the children? The tape-out and the next testing work, we have contracted for China! And in order to make these chips go on the market as soon as possible, we can now start the new technology compatibility plan, design a new mobile phone and computer motherboard for compatibility with this chip, and reserve an interface that can accommodate the brain-computer chip, which is seamless!"
Yu Xingwei said with high morale.
"Hehe, that's a nice thing to say. Feelings, do you regard these as things that your family is for? Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about investment, you look at the EDA software that the two children bought is not cheap! You also rent computing power to analyze a huge amount of data provided by our laboratory every day, you just open your mouth?"
Gao Deyuan glanced at Yu Xingwei and said disdainfully.
Yu Xingwei laughed, and was just about to play with Gao Deyuan's words, when he suddenly found that the little girl opposite who had not spoken for a long time was holding her chin and looking at herself expectantly.
I don't know why, Yu Xingwei felt that the girl's expression was really like she could speak, as if she was saying: "Come and improvise, it's so exciting to watch two adults act in front of children......"
Old embarrassed.
I couldn't laugh anymore, but my expression tended to be sincere.
"I certainly know the value of these technologies, and they can even be said to be priceless. So I have this idea, are you interested in transferring all the intellectual property rights of this chip? The price is easy to say. ”
"I don't want to!" Wang Yufei shook his head.
"Yes, we don't want to, uncle!" Lu Yuxin shook her head.
"Huh?" Yu Xingwei glanced at Gao Deyuan with some embarrassment.
"Look at what I'm doing, let you listen to the children's opinions!" Gao Deyuan glared back directly.
Well, apparently the old professor doesn't take the identity of this senior engineer in China seriously.
"Our idea is very simple, intellectual property rights, patents and standards should be kept in our own hands, if Weihua participates in the later testing, tape-out and testing, and bears all the costs. Then, after the finished product comes out, Weihua can use this brain-computer chip on all of the company's products for free for five years, but if you want to continue to use it after five years, you need to pay to buy it. ”
"Of course, if the follow-up involves the upgrade of chip functions, and the tape-out link needs to continue to invest in China, this time limit can be appropriately extended. And we can guarantee in the contract that even if we start charging, we will give Weihua a minimum license price. ”
"Also, Professor Gao, my results are inseparable from the lab data you gave me. That's why I think so, and I won't talk about the free usage period on the Chinese side. In the future, 20% of the net income obtained by other electronic product manufacturers from the purchase of technology licensing will be directly delivered to Huaqing's brain-computer laboratory, which will be counted as dividends from the initial investment. ”
"What do you two think?" asked Wang Yufei.
Out of respect for the two people in front of him, Wang Yufei did not let Lu Yuxin negotiate the conditions this time.
The most sincere thoughts were given directly.
The bottom line is still there.
Intellectual property, patents, and standards are the hard currency of the future, and we must take care of ourselves.
