Chapter 242: Dignitary!

Ouyang Zhen doesn't understand technology, but since Qin Yu can make the other party believe that the technology he has mastered has now overcome all the technical difficulties, then he must have real materials in his hands, and this means that the follow-up investment will definitely not be much, although he is also surprised where Qin Yu's sudden technology came from, but he is very sure that it is definitely not a large investment in research and development as Qin Yu said.

Of course, he can only rot in his stomach and continue to wait seriously for Huawei's conditions. But then again, an advanced technology has come out, and it costs a lot of money to use it, otherwise Huawei HiSilicon wouldn't have to spend money to get RAM authorization.

It's just like Qin Yu who collects the money once first, and calls it a cooperative R&D fund, and then the authorization money has to be calculated separately. It's too much of a profiteer. Of course, his boss is enough profiteer, and Ouyang Zhen still appreciates it, which means that his dividends can also be more

"Also. We also require that the license fee for the future 3D virtual screen to be used by Huawei must be at least 40% lower than that of Apple in the alliance. Just when Ouyang Zhen was slightly distracted, Ren Zhiyuan continued to speak.

This requirement is obviously to prepare for the subsequent market competition. The lower license fee means that Huawei will have a certain price advantage in market competition. After all, Apple's performance in the high-end mobile phone market is too strong and there is no price advantage. Even if Huayu Technology has promised only three new technology alliances for the time being, Huawei does not dare to say that it is confident to compete with Apple for the market.

"That's no problem," Qin Yu nodded very dryly, "But you should also pay more sincerity accordingly." ”

"Okay, Mr. Qin means that we want to increase the initial investment" Ren Zhiyuan said, obviously if Qin Yu really meant this, it would be too boring.

"No, we need Huawei's support in terms of talent, to be exact, it is the support of HiSilicon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huawei. Mr. Ren also knows that our Huayu technology chip is just in its infancy. As the largest chip design company in China, HiSilicon must have a rich talent pool. We hope that HiSilicon can temporarily seconded a group of high-level IC design engineers to us, who have at least participated in the design of the Kirin 920 processor, well, what we need most at present is the back-end R&D personnel. Qin Yu said in one breath.

Qin Yu's request once again made everyone at Huawei's top level roll their eyes in unison.

What is the most valuable talent in the 21st century is not a slogan, but a fact. Especially for the semiconductor industry. Every high-tech talent is a treasure.

So what kind of company is HiSilicon, which has to be discussed from the current global semiconductor industry.

To put it simply, there are currently two models in the world's semiconductor industry: one is a formula like Intel, which designs and produces itself. The advantage of this is that the circuit design is closely integrated with the process. And confidential.

The other is a fabless design company like HiSilicon that separates design and production, and similar to HiSilicon, there are also familiar Qualcomm and Texas Instruments, who are only responsible for design.

At present, the world's most advanced technology is undoubtedly in the hands of Intel. However, Intel does not make foundries, so these design companies can only hand over the products they design to foundry companies such as TSMC and SMIC, which have mastered next-generation technology.

And because almost all smartphone processors, except for the freak of Intel Atom, use the ARM system, so these design companies generally first ask the British ARM company to buy the instruction set and core architecture license, and develop their own mobile phone CPU products based on this.

This is also the processor that many smartphones also use the same architecture. However, the core frequency, cache capacity and frequency, as well as the configuration of other optional modules such as floating-point modules, GPUs, memory interfaces, DSPs, power management modules, audio DEC, video interfaces, camera interfaces, network interfaces, etc., all have different reasons.

HiSilicon is one such design company, formerly known as Huawei's Integrated Circuit Design Center.

Of course, although these basic technologies have been purchased, it is not easy to design a powerful CPU on this basis, especially the Kirin 920 can be said to be the most cutting-edge IC design product in Huaxia, and the people involved in the design can imagine how precious they are.

What's even more disgusting is that Qin Yu wants more back-end designers when he opens his mouth, everyone knows that the back-end of mobile phone processor IC can be more difficult than the front-end, and the various functional bugs of the general mobile phone processor are generally front-end personnel problems, and most of the back-end problems are not successful in tape-out, especially Huaxia's current experienced back-end personnel are simply lacking.

Can this not make them roll their eyes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every back-end R&D personnel of the Kirin 920 are the treasures of HiSilicon, this is indeed not asking for money, but in a sense, it is more ruthless than asking for money

In other words, such a blatant digging into the corner, or in front of a large group of Huawei executives, can everyone still be good friends

And after rolling his eyes, everyone's eyes were on Ren Zhiyuan, who was still silent, saying that the boss must not be confused at this time

However, Qin Yu didn't seem to see the tangled eyes of Huawei's executives, and without waiting for Ren Zhiyuan, who was groaning, to speak, he picked up what he had just said again and continued: "Mr. Ren, I know that Huawei has been building its own industrial chain, from each chip to circuit design to industrial shape design, etc., your idea is to master every key technology as much as possible, even at the expense of the interests of terminal equipment. For example, when Huawei's mobile phone sales were not good before, HiSilicon was still established to design its own processors, and even if the early product failed, it never gave up. ”

"To be honest, I admire your foresight for this, after all, it's very unsafe to have technology in other people's hands. In case one day companies like Qualcomm and Texas are unhappy and don't sell their chips to us Huaxia, other smartphone manufacturers are dead, and Huawei can live well."

"But then again, it's too costly. RAM's authorization is not so easy to get, although for the time being, Tang Shizi Technology has not dealt with them, but it is said that it is not cheap to use their ARM charges, it is good to say that the instruction set architecture authorization is a one-time payment, but the core architecture authorization is levied according to the number of shipments, so that even if Huawei is equipped with its own Kirin 920, selling a mobile phone will help others make money, Mr. Ren will not feel very aggrieved, and also, the GPU is also bought, I remember that it is a Vivante product, once others are unhappy, If you don't authorize Huawei, what should I do with the product" (to be continued.) )
