"You mean to put the main resources on the development of mobile phone chips, rather than computer chips?" Ni Guangnan asked Su Xing.

Ni Guangnan's previous research direction was computer chips.

"That's right, I set up a mobile phone company, of course, the main research direction is on mobile phones, and the research on computers can only be secondary, but the two are not contradictory, and there are many similarities. Su Xing nodded, "The future trend must be a mobile phone for everyone, those public telephones outside will be eliminated, and there will be no need to write postcards, the main role of the post office will be to distribute daily necessities to users, manage private express companies, and letters will only account for a small part of its business." ”

"What you said is a bit interesting, the development of science and technology, the use of mobile phones will indeed become more and more ordinary, the cost of production is low, the scale of formation, the price will naturally go down, and it is not a dream for people to have a mobile phone. Ni Guangnan nodded, "The main difficulty of smart phones lies in the chip, like the computer, the difficulty of these high-tech things is in the chip, the difficulty of the mobile phone chip is even greater than the difficulty of the computer chip, the palm size of the thing, to concentrate all the functions on such a small chip, the process requirements are very high." ”

"If the requirements for the process are not high, the research does not need to take effort, and I don't need to invite Professor Ni to come over. Su Xing said, "It's because of the difficulty that we have to trouble Professor Ni, how hard you work, to develop our own chip as soon as possible." ”

"I have also been exposed to smart phones, I have read relevant articles at home and abroad, Soc translation into Chinese is the system on the chip, this thing is actually a complete computer, can calculate, can store, can realize the flow of data between their own internal modules, want to concentrate these functions on a fingernail-sized chip, the difficulty is not a star and a half." ”

Ni Guangnan didn't say much to Su Xing, but just put the difficulties in front of Su Xing.

"It's normal to have no results in a year or two, but it costs a lot of money. ”

"Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars thrown in, you have to make a little splash, right?" Qi Yuntao listened to the side with a shudder, "Can't you get any research results?"

"This thing is much more difficult than throwing stones into the lake, because the lake is there, the stones are in your hands, and if you throw them in, you will definitely be able to make a splash, but the current domestic research on mobile phone chips is still very weak, simply put, you don't know where the lake is, you have money in your hand, pinching the stones, but throwing it out is likely to be thrown elsewhere, and there is no splash, which is normal." ”

After saying this, Ni Guangnan looked at Su Xing, and what to say next when he woke up.

Ni Guangnan has been cheated several times, and he knows that the investment in science and technology is indeed a gold-swallowing beast, and only by telling the difficulties encountered and the funds that need to be spent can it be possible to retreat when he wakes up.

"It's true, but failure is the mother of success, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, smart phones are not widely available because of the hardware requirements, software is also very important, hardware is like the body, software is like the human spirit, the two must cooperate with each other to make this system play to the extreme. If you don't have a spirit, you're a fool at the head of the village, and if you don't have a body, you're disabled. Su Xing poured Ni Guangnan another glass of wine and ate a peanut.

Go on.

"The SoC integrates the main functional modules of the mobile phone, such as CPU, GPU, ISP, video decoder, audio processor, etc., the CPU is the central processing unit, the GPU is the graphics processor, and the computer is the same function, the GPU is equivalent to the graphics card in the computer, specially used for graphics processing, in other words, the smartphone is actually a smaller version of the computer, not only able to answer calls, but also can be used as a computer. ”

"You know a lot, you didn't study a related major in college, right?" Ni Guangnan was a little surprised, he was just a simple way to tell Su Xing about the knowledge of mobile phone chips, but he didn't expect Su Xing to catch up with him, and it looked more professional.

"These things are very complicated, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be bald, I didn't study this major, I studied economic management. Su Xing said.

"So how do you have such a deep understanding of these things, and also know that CPUs, GPUs, to be honest, smartphones do have this concept now, but the development is not yet mature, and there are even many people who think that smartphones cannot be successful, at least not popular. Ni Guangnan said, "And then there is the perception of chips, many people, including some upper-level people, they feel that there is no need to produce chips, or they think that a small chip is so difficult and needs to invest so much money?"

"Professional people do professional things, and there will definitely be problems when laymen guide insiders to do things. Su Xing said, "I only have a little understanding of this knowledge, and it is not in-depth, how to do it, how to study it, Professor Ni has to do it." ”

"Okay, okay, since you have an understanding of this thing and know its difficulties, then I'll follow you, and there's no need to make that agreement after half a year or a year, as long as you can guarantee a certain amount of technical research funding every year, I'll always do it with you, one day you feel too much money to support, just say hello to me." Ni Guangnan was completely relieved to wake up, "At my age, there are not many years to spend on research, and it is impossible for other projects to give me much money, so I will stay with you." ”

"Yes, Professor Ni, you can stay as long as you want, now that the medical conditions are so developed, and your body is so strong, it is not a problem to live to be 100 years old. Su Xing touched a glass with Ni Guangnan.

Unexpectedly, two sentences of nonsense actually made Professor Ni Guangnan's attitude change.

Ni Guangnan seems to regard him as a peer?

"If you live to be 100 years old, you won't be able to become a king, you can't walk, how can you do research?" Ni Guangnan smiled.

"That's not necessarily, the more people who are engaged in research, the higher the utilization rate of the brain, the more active the brain cells, even if they are older, the thinking is still clear. Su Xing said, "Professor Ni, if you still have colleagues and friends you know, you can introduce them, and the treatment is preferential, definitely better than the treatment of the original unit." ”

"I'm about to tell you about this, if you don't mention it, I'll take the initiative to mention it to you, I definitely can't do research alone, I have to find a group of people, so that the research results can be produced as soon as possible." Ni Guangnan nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to those colleagues, and some early years research will also be brought over." ”

"Don't go now, rest for the night and go back tomorrow, I'll have someone come with you." Su Xing said.
