Chapter 36: The Cone in the Bag

Just when Hu Yiting's mind was quickly turning and thinking hard about how to persuade Lu Xiaoliang, Liu Yinan seemed to have a strong interest in the design drawings, and looked at them again and again for a long time, during which he kept discussing technical issues with Hu Yiting, the agreements involved, and so on.

Probably very satisfied with Hu Yiting's answer, Liu Yinan simply picked up the phone again and called several engineers from the development department to study Hu Yiting's design drawings together. As if it weren't enough, the engineers called again and called another group of engineers to see the strange.

When these engineers called again and called a third group of people to analyze the drawings and look at the strangeness, Lao Yu couldn't help but shout: "Liu Yinan, you can do it! Don't take it here one by one, when I am in the zoo." ”

Liu Yinan turned a deaf ear to Lao Yu's protest and continued to study the drawings with his eyes.

The discussion from these engineers around him was full of affirmation and praise for Hu Yiting's design. So Lu Xiaoliang began to appreciate Hu Yiting more and more, he seemed to remember something, and asked Hu Yiting: "Also, classmate Hu, which university are you? It doesn't matter if you reveal it, even if you don't graduate, I'll write down your name first, and after graduation, you can come to work in our Huachuang, and then come to me directly." ”

Lu Xiaoliang seemed to be sincerely recruiting talents, and introduced to Hu Yiting endlessly: "Our Huachuang's salary is not low, starting directly from 1500 for undergraduates, 2000 for masters, and 2500 for doctors. I think you have real materials, and when you graduate, I will give you a regular job in a month, and your salary will be doubled. It is much stronger than being assigned to a national unit. If you stay in school, even if you become an associate professor for ten years, won't it be 480 a month?"

Hu Yiting hesitated for a long time, and finally stubbornly said: "I'm only 16." ”

Lu Xiaoliang was suddenly happy, and asked after him: "16? Are you a prodigy in the juvenile class? The same as Liu Yinan? Good guy, which university are you?"

"I'm only in my third year of junior high school, and I haven't graduated yet. ”

This turn was so bizarre that Lu Xiaoliang was completely stunned, and he glared and said, "The third year of junior high school?!Why is the middle school so strong?! I don't believe it! Don't fool me." ”

Hu Yiting talked nonsense seriously: "I just have this kind of hobby." We have 40 and 41 electronics institutes in Hushan, as well as 214 electronics institutes of the Ordnance Industry Group, and my father works in a newspaper office, so I can usually get in touch with a lot of electronic communication technology. ”

Most of the men in science and engineering are relatively simple, and most people are really simple these years, Liu Yinan heard that Hu Yiting was in the third year of junior high school, and the first one believed it, and said energetically: "I know about electronic 40 and 41 schools, and it is indeed in Hushan, and I have classmates who graduated and went there." Yes, the young man has a lot to do, and you will be able to pass the junior class in the future. Do you want me to introduce you to the junior class of Huazhong University of Science and Technology! ”

Lu Xiaoliang waved his hand: "Go, go, you are only 25 this year, call someone a young man." Are you worthy?"

Liu Yinan turned his head with a smile, continued to look at the drawings, and then interjected: "Old Yu, isn't the terminal division making telephones? If this Hu Yiting's design can be used, it can save a lot of money, I look at the three-micron process he calibrated, wouldn't it be possible to find a unit to tape out in China? And his design is very simple, look at this line cloth, it's really beautiful, and I don't have a high difficulty at all to watch tape-out." ”

Several engineers next to him also nodded in agreement.

Lao Yu smiled and said to Liu Yinan: "I heard that there is another prodigy, look at you for fun, you are not lonely, right? Let me ask you, how many times have you flowed? Do you know how much money you get?"

Lao Yu stretched out two fingers as he spoke: "Starting at 80,000, there is no bargaining." In addition, the phone business of the terminal division, things come out of the womb with a problem, this is only more than a year, the loss of Qin's head is big, and the world is mobilizing internal employees to buy and reduce the inventory burden for the company. If you let Mr. Qin throw money into it at this time, won't this affect everyone's year-end bonus? ”

Liu Yinan didn't squeak when he heard this, and with a group of engineers, he quickly disappeared without a trace.

Hu Yiting and Lu Xiaoliang sat face to face, talking about some technical issues, although Lu Xiaoliang praised Hu Yiting, but Hu Yiting felt bored in his heart, thinking that he was afraid that he would be planted today, so he should go back first, and then think of other ways.

But just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Liu Yinan turned back again, followed by a slightly chubby but energetic middle-aged man, this person's temples were already gray, obviously over half a hundred years old, his clothes were crumpled, and his hair was messy on his head.

When Hu Yiting saw the visitor, his scalp tingled for a while, and he felt that his heart was full of blood: "Mr. Qin." ”

The person who came was Qin Zhenfei, the president of Huachuang, and he was surprised to see that Hu Yiting recognized him: "You know me?"

Hu Yiting said: "I saw your photo in the newspaper, and I felt that you were a rare strategic-level entrepreneur in China, aiming at the technical barriers of the West's blockade of China, inserting a sharp knife, which is the pride of us Chinese, so I traveled thousands of miles to Shenzhen to find Huachuang." ”

Thousands of clothes are not worn, especially from the mouth of a young man like Hu Yiting, who looks childish, it seems even more sincere.

Qin Zhenfei couldn't close his mouth when he heard this, looked around proudly, and then stepped forward to shake hands with Hu Yiting, jokingly: "I heard Chief Engineer Liu say that there is a prodigy in our company, I think I can see it, can I guarantee that Qi Huachuang can add a chief engineer today?"

Everyone laughed when they heard Mr. Qin say this.

Hu Yiting returned to his spirit and felt that success or failure lay in this hammer. If Qin Zhenfei passes this pass, then there is hope for his first pot of gold, otherwise, if Qin Zhenfei can't pass this pass, the plan he envisioned to cooperate with Huachuang will basically come to an end.

Hu Yiting cheered up and carefully introduced to Qin Zhenfei what unique designs his chip has, especially emphasizing that this is a chip design that breaks through the monopoly of Western patents, and the market is huge.

"AS2531 designed by AMS in Australia is now priced at a wholesale price of US$3.5 per piece, or more than 30 yuan per piece. Domestic companies such as TCL, Shenzhen Nanbao, Zhanjiang Jiaxin, and Xiamen Hongtai have a wide range of roads, and can get US dollars from Hong Kong Demaofeng to purchase. AS2531 is used to assemble and produce telephones, and the factory cost is about 75 yuan, accounting for more than 40% of the cost of telephones. ”

Hu Yiting said: "We Huachuang have no state-owned background, and second, we have no foreign-funded background, where can we make so many dollars." Although our phones have also made certain innovations, using some three-in-one and four-in-one integrated components, which are nearly half less than the more than 40 components of Mandarin phones, don't they still have a bunch of problems? When the zero degree low temperature and the high temperature above 30 degrees Celsius, the component quality problem is more prominent. ”

And Qin Zhenfei was also extremely moved and happy when he heard Hu Yiting say "we Huachuang", and said frankly: "Young man, I know these problems you said, but you can guarantee that your design is okay? And what is the production feasibility of your chip? Have you estimated the cost?"

"After the successful tape-out, the purchase volume is more than 300,000 pieces, and the cost can definitely be pressed to less than three yuan, if it can be 500,000 pieces, it will be cheaper. Mr. Qin, in 1990, China's fixed-line telephone penetration rate was 1.1 percent, and the market generally expects that by 2000, the telephone penetration rate will increase to 5%, but I think that the penetration rate should be about 50% at that time. ”

Qin Zhenfei was really moved, he asked Lu Xiaoliang: "Can it be so cheap, can the cost be so low?

Lu Xiaoliang said: "The current technical level in China, the design circuit is OK, as soon as the chip is scratched, the main reason is that the tape-out is too expensive, in case of a single time, how much does it cost to modify it several times?"

Judging from Xiao Hu's own introduction, the chip he designed has an investment of at least 1 million yuan from design to testing to tape-out modification, and the design cycle is about one year or so.

Besides, the telephone has been invented for more than 100 years, and if you don't change the chip, it's still easy to play, spend a lot of money, and get the results out, and the superior leaders won't take it seriously, maybe they think you're spending money indiscriminately.

Besides, the domestic IC design industry is still too tender, especially inexperienced in patents, and if you are not careful, you will make mistakes. He also made a fuss, cheated on scientific research, and deliberately deceived the leader's superiors. Why bother. ”

Qin Zhenfei nodded, agreeing with Lu Xiaoliang's judgment.

At this time, Hu Yiting began to show his professionalism as an engineer again, hoping to impress Qin Zhenfei.

Qin Zhenfei waved his hand: "Young man, don't say it, come to Huachuang after you graduate, I will leave you a position as an engineer at the Academia Sinica, and if you come, you will be directly turned into a regular person, skipping the internship stage and the assistant engineer stage." ”
