readx;? When Zhong Yue left Qualcomm, it was already afternoon, and as soon as he left the building, Xu Ruoyun couldn't wait to ask him, "Just now you said that you can provide a complete chip design solution, is this true?"

The account manager at Qualcomm didn't take Zhong Yue seriously, but she knew his abilities very well and knew that he wouldn't talk about it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info∷∷, so when I heard that he could have a complete chip design solution, my heart was very shocked. I didn't even have the heart to negotiate with Qualcomm and handed it over to my deputy.

In the mobile phone industry, chips can be said to be the most important part. But in the whole world, there are only a handful of companies that can do chip design. There are even fewer mobile phone companies that can design their own chips.

The top two mobile phone companies, Apple and Samsung, use chips of their own design.

Not to mention these two, just in China, relying on HiSilicon's Weihua, it has gradually got rid of its dependence on Qualcomm and embarked on the road of independent design. A few years ago, how beautiful rice was, now it has not been surpassed by China. At the end of the day, it's about losing in technology.

It can be seen from here that mobile phone companies with chip design capabilities may not be successful, but companies that can reach the top must have such capabilities.

With Xu Ruoyun's determination, when he thought that the company could be like Apple and Samsung, with chip design capabilities, his heart was pounding, and he would not be joking if he wanted to be Zhong Yue's person. After a while, I thought that the chip design was so high-end, how could I get it by one person.

For a time, some suffered from gains and losses.

In the end, the bait thrown by Zhong Yue was too big. Even a well-informed person like her can't help but be moved.

Zhong Yue said, "I have been doing research in this area for the past two years, and I finally came up with some results and tried to design a chip." ”

Hearing this, Xu Ruoyun's eyes were about to glow, she knew that Zhong Yue was doing some research by herself, and she had also visited the basement of his villa and seen the robots he made. Definitely the best in the world. With such an impression, she naturally felt that this statement was very credible.

"It's a pity ......"

As he spoke, Zhong Yue shook his head and said. "For us now, even if we have a design plan, it's useless. ”

Xu Ruoyun was poured with cold water when he landed.

In today's era, in the manufacturing industry, except for the kind of unskilled road goods. Like electronic products, they can not be directly produced and sold with technology, and they are not authorized by patents, and they are sued for approval. At home, it can still cope with the past. If you want to go abroad, you will definitely lose all your pants.

Even if Zhong Yue's technology is good, it is useless if he can't get patent authorization. For high-tech technologies like chip manufacturing, you can only find wafer foundries, and there are only a few wafer foundries in the world, and there is no authorization certificate, and it may be uncertain whether people are willing to produce for you.

Xu Ruoyun is not such an easy person to give up. After the hot mind calmed down, he soon had a new idea, his eyes moved, and he said, "The threshold for chips is indeed too high, whether it is capital, technology and patents, it is not something that ordinary people can play." ”

Zhong Yue knew that this was just the threshold, even if he had money. There are technologies and patents, but they may not be able to play well. Semiconductor giants like Deyi, Intel. There is no shortage of these three, and the result is not one who has given up the chip business, but one who has been pressed to death by Qualcomm in the mobile phone chip business.

However, he has long measured that as long as Yizhi can continue to grow, the chip business can rise. That's the benefit of being a related industry. It's like he went from making mobile games to opening an app store. It's much better than making chips right out of the box.

Of course, if there is a crisis in the mobile phone business, the chip business will also be weak. This is a relationship of both prosperity and loss. The risk is also greatly increased, and the investment of both companies is pinned on the success or failure of the mobile phone business. No matter how you look at it, it's too eager for quick success.

Zhong Yue also had the idea of working with Qualcomm at first, but after waiting for the reply of the manager of Qualcomm, he immediately realized that most companies like Qualcomm look down on themselves, even if they impress them with excellent design and reach cooperation, the big head will definitely be taken away by them. So, he immediately gave up on this idea.

With these thoughts in his mind, he asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Xu Ruoyun said a company name, "NVIDIA." ”

Zhong Yue smiled slightly and nodded, this world-famous IC semiconductor company is his primary target.

This company is most famous for its graphics card, in fact, it has a lot of business, in addition to graphics cards, it also makes game console chips, and in recent years, it has entered the field of mobile phone chips.

It's a pity that although they have invested heavily in mobile phone chips, they have not improved much because they have lost the opportunity, and they have suffered serious losses for several consecutive years, and they can't hold on, and announced their withdrawal from the mobile phone chip market last year.

Zhong Yue is interested in this company's mobile phone chip business, "How much do you think it will cost to win their mobile phone chip business?"

Xu Ruoyun's delicate eyebrows furrowed, she used to be a venture capitalist, and valuing a company is her strength. However, in this case, it is not easy to judge. She said with some hesitation, "If you want to win the entire chip business, I'm afraid it will cost more than 700 million US dollars." ”

Hearing this number, Zhong Yue sighed in his heart, he really can't take out such a large amount of money at present, unless he sells Yi Soft's shares. Otherwise, even if you take out a loan, you can't lend that amount.

Of course, it is impossible for him to sell Yi Soft's shares, so he can only find another way.

"Do you think Nvidia is willing to sell technology and patent licensing?" Zhong Yue asked again.

Xu Ruoyun said with a solemn face, "I'm afraid that their lions will open their mouths." Our Yizhi is only a little famous in China, and in the eyes of these international giants, I am afraid that we are not qualified to cooperate. If you rush to talk about acquisitions, you will definitely be treated as a wronged person and slaughtered a fortune. ”

"yes. Zhong Yue couldn't help but have a headache.

Xu Ruoyun pondered for a moment and proposed, "You can let Wu Yawen introduce it in the center, which will reduce a lot of resistance." However, even if this is the case, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to buy various technologies and patent licenses. Unless Yizhi goes public, it is impossible for the company to come up with so much money in the past two years. ”

"There's no time to wait. ”

Zhong Yue knew that she meant to wait, but now the pattern in the chip market is changing drastically, and in a few years, I am afraid that it will cost several times the price to get the admission qualification.

"Anyway, let's get in touch with the top management of Nvidia first. (To be continued.) )

ps: There have been a few bad things happening recently, and I don't have the time or energy to write. Sorry, now it's finally explained, I hope it can be updated stably.
