As soon as he saw the caller ID, Lin Han's mind involuntarily flashed Lei Jun's demonic divine comedy "Are_You_Ok" that couldn't be stopped at all.

As Mr. Lei's famous song, "Are_You_Ok" is often thousands or tens of thousands of comments in the comment area of major music software, and it is popular all over the country.

Although Lei Jun himself exploded on the Internet, it is inevitable that this divine comedy will be credited.

But for Lin Han, who was born as a programmer, Lei Jun has long been a famous figure.

Back then, Lei Jun entered the Department of Computer Science of Wuhan University with a score that surpassed that of Qingbei, and not only completed his studies in advance in only two years, but also won almost all the scholarships.

He is also one of the only two students in the Department of Computer Science of Wuhan University who have received a perfect score in "Assembly Language Programming" in the past 20 years.

The programs he wrote when he was a student were later incorporated into textbooks......

After graduation, Lei Jun devoted himself to the software industry and once carried the banner of national software.

With his exceptional skill level and insane working hundreds of hours a week, he quickly became famous in the industry.

At this point, life has been brilliant.

But as a hard-working technical expert, Lei Jun regrettably missed the wave of the rising tide of the Internet, although he has strong technology, but he has been overtaken by some rising stars.

His famous "flying pig" theory may also be based on a little lesson of his own.

So later, Lei Jun, who was already middle-aged, decided to fight again, and set out to start the mudslide in the mobile phone industry - rice.

The mobile phones produced by rice, with unprecedented cost performance, disrupted the position of many domestic mobile phones as soon as they were shot.

Previously, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers, relying on the fact that most people did not know anything about the configuration and parameters of mobile phones, boasted about all kinds of marginal and raised prices.

The most common routine is to boast of an X-core processor and xxxx megapixels...... But in fact, the number of cores and pixels are very one-sided parameters and do not represent anything.

Some mobile phone manufacturers don't even dare to indicate the brand and model of the processor, so they use the number of cores to deceive and fool around.

With a wide range of offline layouts and advertising endorsements of various small fresh meats...... For mobile phones with the same configuration, manufacturers such as O and V even dare to sell rice for about twice the price.

Many mobile phone manufacturers tacitly maintained the profit level of the industry until the emergence of rice, a disruptor......

Lei Jun himself holds nearly eighty percent of the shares of rice, has absolute control, and does not need to be responsible for anyone's interests, and there is no problem of capital interference.

By reducing intermediate links and compressing profits, the price of rice mobile phones is often much lower than that of its peers with the same configuration.

As a result, under the pressure of rice mobile phones step by step, a large number of inferior and high-priced mobile phones were forced to withdraw from the market, some manufacturers were forced to die, and some manufacturers had to improve the quality of mobile phones.

Naturally, all mobile phone manufacturers will also join forces to boycott rice. One of the things that must be done at every press conference is black rice.

Therefore, among all the current domestic mobile phones, rice is the worst hacked. In particular, the theory of fever has been spread to almost everyone.

But in fact, if you think about it a little, you can understand what is going on.

Not to mention anything else, any mobile phone manufacturer with cumulative sales of 100 million yuan, if the quality problem is really that serious, it can be dragged down by after-sales alone.

Due to the needs of practicality and cost-effectiveness, Lin Han, who also has a technical background, has always been a loyal user of rice before, not only mobile phones, but also "groceries" such as clothes have also been bought in rice. (Well, I'll admit I'm rice noodles...... ）

Although he later had no worries about the economy and only looked at the quality of his purchases, he often went to buy some new rice products to experience them more or less.

For example, Rice's latest "full screen" mobile phone, although it is not yet a full screen in the true sense, but in terms of price and excellent design, it is absolutely amazing.

Even when they had never met, Lin Han already had a good impression of Lei Jun and his people.

Coupled with the previous support of rice for the Qingnan Development Zone plan, so this time he looted the yen, so he did not forget to call the rice to make a fortune together.

"Mr. Lei, have you been busy lately?"

After connecting the phone, Lin Han asked.

A few days ago, when Lei Jun brought people to Japan, he personally went to pick up the plane.

It's just that the yen is about to rise, and Lei Jun, who is known as a workaholic in the technology industry, got busy non-stop as soon as he got off the plane, and he didn't talk to him much for a while.

"Haha, almost. ”

On the other side of the phone, Lei Jun said with a smile: "Thanks to Vientiane's blessings, we have gained a lot in Japan this time." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Han asked, "Mr. Lei, I remember that when you came to Japan this time, there should be other things to deal with besides the earthquake and the yen, right?"

"Yes, I came to Japan this time mainly to organize the acquisition of a Japanese semiconductor company. ”

"Semiconductor company?" Lin Han's expression moved.

"We've been investigating that company for a long time, and we've had some contact. However, for various reasons, the acquisition plan has not progressed much. ”

"Now that I have the opportunity, I plan to go ahead and complete the acquisition as soon as possible. ”

Lei Jun said slowly: "After all, rice mobile phones have been subject to Qualcomm for a long time, and now we have some accumulation, whether it is technology or capital...... Therefore, it is indeed time to go further in terms of independent research and development of processors. ”

As we all know, the chip processor is the core component of mobile phones, computers and other devices, and is as important as the human brain.

For now, the top-of-the-line processor is Apple's A-series, which is basically a one-of-a-kind leader.

After Apple, it was Qualcomm and Samsung, then Hua Wei, and then some other relatively less well-known manufacturers.

The performance of the chip is basically judged by the first two digits of the model number.

Taking Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor as an example, there are three kinds of first digits at the beginning: 4, 6, and 8, and the larger the number, the better, which can be roughly regarded as low, medium, and high-end.

But the second digit of the model is equally important, for example, the 660 belongs to the top of the 6 series, and the 800 is the bottom of the 8 series, so the performance of the 660 is stronger than the 800.

The third and fourth digits (if any) are less important, but again, the higher the number, the better.

This simple way of judging is applicable to most brands of chips, including mobile phones, computer processors, and of course, graphics cards.

Most domestic mobile phone manufacturers do not have self-developed processors with excellent performance, so they can only buy from hardware giants dominated by Qualcomm, which is quite restricted.

With the development of rice, the hidden dangers in this area are naturally becoming more and more impossible to ignore, no wonder Lei Jun is paying more and more attention to the research and development of independent chips.

But Lin Han also knows that it is said to be independent research and development, but in fact, there are almost no independent chips in the real sense in this world.

Not to mention domestic chips, even Apple, Qualcomm and the like are also developed based on the authorization of the British ARM company.

Of course, ARM licensing is very basic and relatively open. Basically anyone can buy it, and the price is not too expensive, which is a pretty good choice for companies that want to design chips.

But the ability to produce chips is not something that anyone can play with.

For example, the lithography machine, which is the core equipment of the chip production process, is produced by only three companies in the world. And it's very expensive, much better than mainframe computers.

Lin Han thought for a while: "As far as I know, even if the high-end chip is designed, it cannot be produced with domestic capacity, so it can only seek foundry ...... abroad."

On the other end of the phone, Lei Jun sighed slightly and said: "As you said, the first chip designed by Rice is relatively low-end and can still be produced in China." In the future, it is estimated that I will have to go to Baodao for OEM. ”

"After all, the Wassenaar Agreement clearly stipulated more than 20 years ago that other countries were prohibited from selling advanced lithography machines and other equipment to Huaxia......"
