Chapter 45: You can rest assured.
In the restaurant, there was silence.
Not only Old Man Wei, but even Wei Liang looked at Sister Da Da intently.
The appearance of her husband made Sister Dada smile knowingly: "Tesla Microelectronics, it can't be a CPU!"
Seeing the slightly surprised and shocked expressions of the two, Sister Dada hurriedly added: "To be exact, it doesn't make CPUs on PCs." ”
Hearing Sister Dada's words, Wei Liang was obviously relieved, and then said: "This is just like words, otherwise it will be a complete waste for the Spreadtrum team to come to you." ”
"Humph!"
Sister Da Da snorted, rolled her eyes at her husband, and said very unhappily: "In your eyes, or in the eyes of the so-called flower planters, there is only the first, and you are not the second, and you are not even better!
“……”
Wei Liang's expression was stunned, speechless.
The social atmosphere of the flower growers is positive on the whole, but the mentality of impetuousness and quick success is indeed common.
He also understands that it is not only digital circuits that drive the development of the semiconductor industry, but only CPU, GPU, SOC!
Analog circuits, hybrid circuits, various power electronics, high-frequency amplifiers, etc...... Which one doesn't matter anymore?
"AMONG THE MAJOR SUPPLIERS IN THE PC UPSTREAM INDUSTRY, I WILL TAKE INTEL AS AN EXAMPLE. ”
Sister Dada didn't embarrass her husband and continued the topic just now: "According to their company's rules, a single supplier is not allowed, so the supplier will tell another company the definition of the product. ”
Old Man Wei frowned and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
"It's reverse design!"
Sister Dada quickly replied: "In the United States, the Tesla branch and Weiwei Group have collected a lot of chip designs that flow to the market, and what Tesla Microelectronics is doing now is copying!"
When Wei Liang and Old Man Wei heard Sister Dada's words, they looked at her puzzledly: "Copy?"
Are you kidding?
Isn't the control of patents by foreign enterprises very strict? Now in order to integrate with the world market, the state has begun to prepare for further planning in terms of intellectual property rights, but listening to Sister Da Da's meaning, how can it be different from what they think?
"In some IC design companies in the United States, when the gross profit margin of a product is less than 50%, they will quickly give up and develop higher-end, higher-profit products.
But the market for the products they gave up is still very large, Dad, the low-end industry is shifting, but due to the lack of technical personnel in our country, most of the soup has been drunk by Wanwan. ”
Wei Liang glanced at his father, and then asked, "What does this copy have to do with it?"
"Copying is reverse design, for example, Wanwan Liqi started with this, and what Tesla Microelectronics is doing is the old way of Liqi. ”
Speaking of this, Sister Da Da shook her head and said with emotion: "Tesla Microelectronics can only get that code-to-code chip right, which is already a very powerful thing, and the back-end is basically made under the in-depth guidance of Fujitsu engineers." ”
"So copy ...... Reverse design?" Da Da brother-in-law thinks that the word 'copy' is really not good.
"That's right!"
Sister Da Da nodded, "From a technical point of view, there are many learning opportunities in the process of doing reverse design. If you have some level of understanding of the circuits designed by others, you will learn some useful ideas from them. It will also help to do positive design. ”
Speaking of this, Sister Da Da paused, took out a list from her bag, and handed it to Old Man Wei.
"Dad, this is some chip data that Tesla Microelectronics is redefining, some of which have been taped out and are being put to the final test.
These are all substitutes that can replace Wanwan's imported chips......"
Some people also say that reverse design is a quagmire for IC designers and a quagmire that destroys the designer's innovation ability, but this is indeed the most beneficial shortcut for Tesla Microelectronics.
After all, in the field of semiconductors, there are actually no shortcuts!
Old Man Wei looked at the list and read it out inaudibly: "Memory power supply chip, USB driver chip...... It's all on that motherboard?"
"That's right!"
Sister Da Da smiled, "Wanwan is using the most severe means to block the integrated circuit industry against us, these chips are the bargaining chips that allow us to counter them!"
Old Man Wei nodded, the so-called countermeasures are nothing more than raising tariffs, restricting imports and other means, there is no need to really implement them, as long as they let out some rumors, they will be a major blow to Wanwan Liqi and other enterprises.
You know, flower growers are the world's second largest consumer market, if there is no accident, with a population of more than one billion, it is only a matter of time before it becomes the largest market.
After Mr. Wei handed the list to Wei Liang, Sister Da Da continued: "Erudite, interrogative, cautious, dedicated, and tolerant of loneliness, this is the definition of the semiconductor industry by a young man who has just turned 20.
He also said some things that impressed me very deeply: 'The progress of the country, each industry has a first and a last, first to the people's livelihood, basic industries, and when you make money, and then to the top of the high-tech, it is impossible to start all industries at the same time.
But if Tesla can make the market, why can't it go first?'"
Old Man Wei shuddered for a moment, and looked at Sister Da Da in surprise, he really couldn't imagine that this kind of words with a big picture would be said by that little Zhao Song.
"This year, almost all of the new doctors in microelectronics and computer science have been recruited by Tesla, and he is willing to improve the salary of these people, and is trying to build a house for them.
Dad, what Tesla is doing is the follow-up of the 909 project - cultivating talents, we are willing to wait for them to become successful, we are willing to cultivate the market by ourselves, and do a virtuous circle by ourselves, and wait for the outbreak at some point in the future!
I believe that with Tesla's solid development plan, one day, we will be able to develop chips and process development in the manufacturing plant at the same time, study principles, try solutions, and work together with FOUNDRY.
We don't need the state to take care of us, all we want is a fair business environment!"
The 909 project, in addition to the establishment of several large wafer fabs, the follow-up plan is to invest in the establishment of a number of IC design companies, but this plan spans a very large time.
In the 909 Project, there is one of the biggest easter eggs - that is the predecessor of HiSilicon Semiconductor.
Before the national investment was issued, Hua made HiSilicon for that fool.
………………
In the dining room, it was quiet again.
Old Man Wei looked at Sister Da Da with some distraction, and after a long time, he sighed: "If you don't make a CPU, what are you doing investing in Loongson?
"......." Sister Dada bowed her head and was silent.
"It's so stable!" Old Man Wei stood up and walked slowly into the study.
Ten minutes later, he walked out with a pair of rice paper and handed it to Sister Dada: "Tell him, be a man clearly, do things cleanly, this country can tolerate such a freak!"
"Hmm!" Sister Da Da nodded excitedly, carefully unfolded the rice paper, and then showed a crying and laughing expression.
"Ethereal Pavilion, laughing and talking alone on a thousand peaks. With whom to share. Thousands of miles of smoke and waves.
The feeling of old age is still thinking about the end of the world. Empty melancholy. Juvenile boldness. Mo Xue is like a declining man. ”
That Zhao Song, who is now planning to scare people everywhere, where is he like a declining man?
But with this character, Zhao Song can really relax and scare people!
