"Matrix Digital is 70 percent of the shares?"

Hu Weiwu frowned, but did not refuse.

In fact, he came to Matrix Digital this time, it was from fate, Loongson has limited market development achievements in recent years, and the state has only invested more than one billion yuan in total for more than ten years, and can only barely maintain a balance of payments.

At present, Loongson mainly develops the office computer and server market of the party, government, military, state-owned enterprises and public institutions with high requirements for information security.

However, relying on these markets alone, waiting for the downstream industry alliances and software ecosystems to mature is not yet known to be the Year of the Monkey.

Therefore, Hu Weiwu had the intention of diversifying Loongson very early.

When he heard that Matrix Digital was preparing to launch the domestic MatrixOS, Hu Weiwu was keenly aware that this was the long-awaited opportunity for Loongson, but he never expected that Yang Lin would be so risky and actually want to establish a new instruction set system outside the ARM system.

Although it is also compatible with ARM, there are still certain differences between this form and the native ARM architecture, just like Loongson's LoongISC instruction set based on MIPS, once it is not optimized well, resulting in too low APP running efficiency, I am afraid it will cause a major blow to MatrixOS.

However, this is a problem for Yang Lin to consider, and what Hu Weiwu needs to consider is that the price offered by the other party is not worth Loongson's investment in a lot of manpower and material resources.

The Loongson team now has a total of about 400 people, and if it cooperates with Matrix Digital to develop its own instruction set mobile phone chips, it will inevitably transfer a considerable number of backbones to the new company.

It would be nice to say that this company is Zhongke Loongson Holdings, but it is Matrix Digital Holdings.

But if you choose to refuse. It means that Loongson will give up such a good opportunity.

What's more, Matrix Digital is coming out with real money. If Loongson doesn't do it, the other party can spend money to buy an ARM license and then recruit engineers to develop it independently. Just like Huawei, Spreadtrum did they did.

Of course, this is a bit more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Hu Weiwu hesitated for a moment, and said a little tentatively: "Mr. Yang, if 150 million US dollars accounts for 70% of the shares, will it be a little less?" ”

Yang Lin smiled: "Then how much does Mr. Hu think is appropriate?" ”

Hu Weiwu stretched out two fingers and said: "200 million US dollars, of which 150 million US dollars will be used for the establishment and research and development of the new company, and the other 50 million US dollars will be paid directly to Zhongke Loongson as the research fund for our new generation of Loongson 3B." ”

Yang Lin couldn't help but smile dumbly, it seems that the current situation of Loongson is really not good. I'm afraid Hu Weiwu won't be so pitiful.

Yang Lin said: "Yes, but Loongson must send 100 key researchers to the new company, I don't want those newly graduated doctoral students, at least two to three years of work experience, in addition, the microstructure, instruction set and compiler related technologies developed by Loongson in the past few years must also be licensed to the new company." ”

Quietly in the conference room, whether it was Matrix Digital or Zhongke Loongson, they all focused their eyes on Hu Weiwu.

Hu Weiwu thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then it's decided!" ”

The atmosphere in the conference room was suddenly relaxed.

Yang Lin smiled and got up to shake hands with Hu Weiwu and said, "Mr. Hu." Happy working together! I think in a few years, when you look back on today's meeting, you will be glad for the decision you made today. ”

Hu Weiwu smiled bitterly: "I hope so!" ”

……

A week later, Loongson and Matrix Digital officially announced to the outside world that Matrix Digital and Zhongke Loongson established Matrix Chip Technology Co., Ltd. Among them, Matrix Digital holds 70% of the shares, and Zhongke Loongson holds 30% of the shares.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted wide attention from the domestic media.

The recent news about Matrix Digital has not left the media pages. In particular, [Matrix Optimization] has killed people in foreign markets, which has greatly satisfied the national pride of the people.

And speculation about Yang Lin's net worth has also appeared in the newspapers from time to time. The progress of MatrixOS has also been the focus of attention in the industry.

But who knew that the matrix digital was silent, and it actually got together with Loongson again.

To say computer chips. But it has always been a pain in the hearts of Chinese.

I don't know how many people's hearts were hurt by the Hanxin fraud incident that year, even Loongson No. 1 also has a black history that is questioned as a copycat product.

Chinese are eagerly looking forward to China launching a truly Chinese chip of its own in the market.

Especially in the field of general-purpose processors, only Huawei HiSilicon Kirin can make people see a glimmer of light.

On the one hand, Loongson is in the MIPS camp, and with the decline of MIPS today, it is difficult to have a day when the salted fish turns over, on the other hand, Loongson itself has a bad reputation on the Internet.

Some people think that Matrix Digital now has abundant cash flow, even if you really want to engage in mobile phone chips, you can buy a license from ARM and then take it back to study it slowly, can you use such a pig teammate as Loongson?

There are even opinions that Matrix Digital should not be distracted to other fields before the success of MatrixOS, after all, no matter how awesome you are at MatrixOS, you have to use ARM chips.

Yang Lin naturally didn't care about these noises, and the reason why he decided to independently develop mobile phone chips was mainly due to Yang Lin's idea of MatrixOS.

During this time, Yang Lin has been researching the MatrixOS kernel with certain artificial intelligence functions, and with the deepening of his research, he has even preliminarily written such a kernel in his brain using the matrix code language.

But when he converted this language into C/C++ language, he found that the level of intelligence shown by such software, whether in a mobile phone or a notebook, and when simulated in his own brain, were completely different levels.

This has to attract Yang Lin's attention.

After his careful study, he finally found that it was actually a problem with the instruction set, whether it was ARM or X86, its instruction set system could only play fifty percent of the functions of MatrixOS, even if it performed well on Android phones after optimization, but it could not satisfy Yang Lin.

That's why he decided to create a tailor-made mobile phone chip for MatrixOS.

But he has no experience in this area, and in the research and development of mobile phone chips, the matrix system will provide partial help in the instruction set and compiler at most, and a lot of work needs professional researchers to do.

If you set up a new company to operate, and wait for the chip to come out and then launch MatrixOS, you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Fortunately, at this time, Loongson took the initiative to come to the door, for Yang Lin, it was simply sleepy and someone sent a pillow, with the Loongson team's rich experience in computer chip research and development, he was fully confident that he could make a tailor-made chip for MatrixOS in a short period of time.
