Chapter Ninety-Seven: Hu Weiwu's Visit (Guaranteed First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Returning from the United States, Yang Lin was warmly welcomed by all the staff of Matrix Digital.

In the past ten days, [Matrix Optimization] has performed well in foreign markets, and the global paying users have exceeded the 300 million mark in one fell swoop.

Among them, there are more than 100 million annual users and about 200 million monthly users.

This means that in just 10 days, the total revenue of matrix optimization abroad reached 1.2 billion dollars.

In China, the number of users has increased steadily, reaching 195 million.

What's even more surprising is that after entering the second month, the number of users who choose to pay annually has increased by 20 million, becoming 90 million, and the number of monthly paying users has decreased from 120 million to 100 million.

In the second month of China alone, [Matrix Optimization] earned 730 million RMB.

If you add in the 1.98 billion RMB earned in the first month of China and the money earned abroad, [Matrix Optimization] has earned more than 10 billion RMB for the three companies so far, which is equivalent to USD 1.6 billion.

Among them, Yang Lin received 40 percent of it, 640 million US dollars, plus the 200 million US dollars paid to him by Google before, Yang Lin's real net worth has exceeded 840 million US dollars, ranking in the top 200 of China's Forbes rich list with a net worth of more than 5 billion yuan.

Among a group of billionaires with an average age of more than 50 years old, he, who is less than 25 years old, is particularly eye-catching as a post-80s generation.

And this is still the matrix optimization technology technology without the listing of the situation, you must know that this money is not a one-time collection, in the next year, matrix optimization can average about 250 million US dollars per month. Yang Lin can get 100 million from it, once Matrix Optimization Technology Co., Ltd. goes public. Yang Lin's ranking may be able to rise a lot.

There was a lot of disturbance in the media about this matter, but Yang Lin's life and work have been back on track.

Without the bonds of my sister. Yang Lin began to devote himself to his work.

During this time, Matrix Digital expanded dramatically, with more than 600 new employees.

Yang Lin also became busy, with a line at two o'clock every day.

Fortunately, Bai Hua helped him with a lot of administrative affairs, and this little girl, who was deeply hurt, seemed to want to anesthetize herself with desperate work, and worked until eight or nine o'clock almost every night.

Yang Lin persuaded him a few times, but when he saw that it was useless, he left it to her.

As new employees continue to join, the office of Matrix Digital has become tight.

Yang Lin had to spend a lot of money to rent the remaining 37th and 38th floors of the Haixing Science and Technology Building. The original office on the 25th floor was used as the office of the project team for the game "Our World".

The MatrixOS project team moved upstairs.

In addition, Yang Lin also adjusted the company's management, and after Yu Donghua left, Kong Chengqing, the former company's financial director, was promoted to CEO, and Yang Lin remained the company's chairman and chief technology officer (CTO).

April 1, 2013, April Fool's Day.

Yang Lin received Hu Weiwu, President of Zhongke Loongson, and his party in the conference room of Matrix Digital Technology Co., Ltd.

During the Chinese New Year, Lin Zhiguo once talked to Yang Lin about Hu Weiwu wanting to see him, but there was no news.

It wasn't until he returned from the United States this time that Yang Lin received definite news that Hu Weiwu was coming.

Hu Weiwu is the chief scientist of the Loongson project. After the commercialization of Loongson two years ago, he became the president of Zhongke Loongson.

Although the media has a mixed reputation for him, Yang Lin also knows that the reason why Loongson has failed to deliver satisfactory results in the market. Not a crime of war.

Loongson's R&D team has grown from scratch, from a dozen people at the beginning to more than 400 people now, almost all of which were brought out by Hu Weiwu.

Investment and the constraints of the software ecosystem make it difficult for Loongson to move forward in the market. The goal of Hu Weiwu's arrival this time is to make every effort to win on mobile phone chips.

And what Yang Lin covets. It is precisely the highly effective R&D team brought out by Hu Weiwu that also provides a solid foundation for the cooperation between the two sides.

"Mr. Hu. Have a seat! ”

Yang Lin and Kong Chengqing accompanied Hu Weiwu to visit the matrix digital company, and then took Hu Weiwu into the company's conference room and sat down.

Talks between the two sides have officially begun.

Hu Weiwu got straight to the point and said: "Mr. Yang, I think you know that if your company launches MatrixOS, it will definitely establish its own mobile phone brand like Apple, right?" I hope that we can cooperate on mobile phone chips and embark on a road of independent brand mobile phones that belong entirely to our Chinese. ”

Yang Lin smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Hu, is Loongson ready to give up the MIPS instruction set this time and prepare to enter the ARM camp?" ”

Hu Weiwu's old face flushed, shook his head and said: "We have more than ten years of research and development foundation on MIPS, this is impossible to give up, but Loongson needs to be profitable, so I hope to establish a joint venture brand with your company to jointly develop mobile phone chips, as for which architecture to use at that time, I think we can discuss again." ”

Yang Lin and Kong Chengqing glanced at each other, and they couldn't deny Hu Weiwu's words.

The importance of instruction sets is undeniable.

China's domestic processors mainly include Shenwei's Alpha and Loongson's MIPS.

Shenwei is just that, this military-led research and development chip is a product of the 56th Research Institute of the General Staff (Jiangnan Computer Institute), mainly taking the supercomputer route, and the Loongson, which is positioned as civilian and commercial, is a completely two-day route.

At present, Intel's X86 processors and ARM processors in the mobile phone chip market really occupy the majority of the market.

The Wintel (Windows+intel) alliance with X86 as the core occupies most of the market share and software ecology on the PC side.

The ARM as the core AA (ARM+Andriod) alliance occupies most of the mobile phone market, even Apple's iPhone, its mobile phone chip is ARM architecture.

Therefore, no matter which company enters the mobile phone chip market, it is almost impossible to bypass ARM.

Unless you can fully establish a $10 trillion alliance involving chip design, R&D and manufacturing, and software ecosystem construction, you can't do it at all.

This is also an important reason why the market is optimistic about Loongson MIPS.

Yang Lin could feel Hu Weiwu's grievance that he had to bow his head for the market, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, in this case, I suggest that Matrix Digital and Loongson establish a joint venture company to jointly develop a mobile phone chip with a new instruction set system."
