Lianchuang Technology intends to use MIPS architecture chips as their mobile phone chips? Lin Zheng's words made the people in the entire conference room of the Institute of Computing Technology excited, Director Long wanted to say something because he was too excited, but he didn't say it for a while, and he trembled twice before saying: "Size and energy consumption are not a problem, we will definitely find a way to solve it...... Mr. Lin, would you really choose a mobile phone chip with MIPS architecture? ”

"We are an enterprise, since we are an enterprise, whether it is an ARM architecture or a MIPS architecture, as long as the price, performance, and production capacity can meet our requirements, we don't mind," Lin Zheng looked at Director Long with a smile, he spent so much effort and turned in such a big circle, for this: "But I am optimistic about Loongson's role in the mobile phone market...... The future will inevitably be the era of smartphones, and you won't doubt that, right? ”

Will the future be the era of smartphones? There is no need to doubt this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Microsoft has launched the embedded system WindowsCE, and launched the WindowsCE-based winde smartphone operating system, Nokia and a group of European companies launched the Symbians60 smartphone operating system, Lianchuang Technology, the largest domestic mobile phone manufacturer with a considerable market share abroad, has not only launched a Java-based semi-smartphone operating system, The Linux smartphone operating system just launched a year ago has also achieved an excellent response in the market, although feature phones are still the mainstream of the market, but there is no doubt that major mobile phone manufacturers are working on smart phones, Lin Zheng said that the future of mobile phones belongs to smart phones, and no one has any doubts about this.

"Then we can sign a long-term contract, right?" Hu Wei rubbed his chin excitedly, and there was a layer of green stubble on his chin, which looked like he hadn't shaved for at least three or four days.

Lin Zheng smiled: "Sign the contract?" I don't know what kind of contract Mr. Hu plans to sign? ”

Hu Wei: "Of course it'......"

Lin Zheng interrupted Hu Wei's words: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell everyone." Lianchuang Technology holds a part of the shares of ARM, so in fact, we are also shareholders of ARM, and now our company's own mobile phone chips are also ARM architecture, and we will definitely take limited care of our own company when purchasing. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Uh, this ...... This ......"

The people of the Institute of Computing Technology were collectively dumbfounded, and everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't say a word.

Only then did they realize that Lianchuang Technology not only has its own strong IC design capabilities. There is also its own wafer factory, which can complete all the chip production processes from wafer production to packaging and testing, since they have their own chip production and R&D enterprises, even if Lisheng mobile phone will purchase Loongson's mobile phone chips in the future, but they must give priority to taking care of themselves, which no one can say.

Director Long and Hu Wei's foreheads suddenly sweated.

If there is no road pointed out by Lin Zheng to the Loongson research group, everyone does not have too many ideas, what kind of goal does the above want to achieve, let's work in this direction, anyway, the Loongson research group is a national grant. Everyone is also a public official in the country, so you don't have to worry about going to the roadside to beg for food if the project fails, but Lin Zheng's words just now pointed out another clear way for everyone.

How prosperous is the mobile phone market now, even if you are not a person in the mobile phone industry, you can also get a glimpse of the mobile phone stores and mobile phone stores all over the streets and alleys, unlike the desktop computer market, the mobile phone chip market not only does not appear a strong giant, the market is far from saturated, if Loongson intends to enter this market, now is definitely the best opportunity - just like the personal computer market in the early 80s.

But. Lin Zheng has to take care of his own industry!

They believe in their own technology and their own technology development capabilities, but they are also self-aware and know very well that they let these people do the market. Even if there is this road pointed out by Lin Zheng, it will not be able to do it well.

What can I do?

For a moment, everyone was at a loss.

Director Long reacted faster: "Mr. Lin, this ...... There's a way to fix it, right? After all, the ARM architecture is foreign, and Loongson is our own. ”

Lin Zheng looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time. Cai reluctantly said: "In this way, Lianchuang Technology can help Loongson arrange a part of the production capacity, well, and promise to underwrite 300,000 Loongson chips every year, of course, it must be used for mobile phone chips, what does Director Long think?" ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the research group, strict requirements were put forward for the technical indicators of Loongson No. 1, in terms of these requirements, the only wafer factory in China that meets the requirements of Loongson's technical indicators is only this wafer factory under Lianchuang Technology, the problem is that now this factory has already been in full production, and countless people outside are still waiting for Lianchuang Technology to vacate production capacity to OEM, Lin Zheng can promise to provide Loongson with a part of the foundry capacity, which is indeed a great face for the Institute of Computing Technology.

As for underwriting 300,000 chips, this face is also not small, and the Loongson research team itself is not sure that it will be able to sell 300,000 chips a year.

Director Long did not answer, but looked at Hu Wei: As the leader of the Loongson research group, Hu Wei will judge Lin Zheng's words more accurately.

Hu Wei also did not answer, thought for a moment, and asked Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, can I ask about the future of your company's mobile phone industry...... Three years from now...... How much is the demand for chips? What is the approximate percentage of smartphones in total shipments? ”

This question is actually a bit too much, and competitors can judge Lianchuang Technology's future plans in the mobile phone market based on Lin Zheng's answer, but after a while, Lin Zheng still replied: "According to our forecast, by the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005, the annual production capacity of our company's smart phones and Java semi-intelligence can reach about 3 million to 4 million, and the proportion of smart phones can be about 12% to 15%, but as a high-profit product, The profit that smartphones are able to provide should be more than 35%. ”

After a pause, Lin Zheng said: "In addition, according to our calculations, at that time, the proportion of smartphones in the market will reach about 15% to 20% in the world, and the proportion of smartphones in the entire market share will be higher and higher in the future." ”

By the end of 04 and the beginning of 05, the annual shipment of smartphones can actually reach three or four million units? Lin Zheng's answer frightened a group of friends from the Institute of Computing Technology: This means that there is a demand for three or four million chips per year.

A deputy leader of the Loongson research group couldn't help but asked, "What Mr. Lin means is the future mobile phone market." Will smartphones dominate? This...... Unrealistic, right? ”

"What's unrealistic?" Lin Zheng asked indifferently: "10 years ago, everyone thought that it was unrealistic for everyone to have a mobile phone, and it would be very face-saving to have a fixed line, but now, the number of mobile phones in our country has exceeded 150 million." 10 years has expanded 200 times, who would have dared to think that 10 years ago? Similarly, isn't it a bit forward-looking to estimate what will happen in 10 years based on the current state of the market? ”

The deputy team leader's face suddenly turned red, Lin Zheng's words were unkind. But what he said is right, even if everyone wants to refute anything, they can't find a suitable reason: yes, 10 years ago, the number of mobile phones in China was only a few hundred thousand, and who would dare to think that at that time there would be more than 150 million mobile phone users in China? In the same way, isn't it inappropriate for me to figure out the mobile phone market in 10 years now?

Director Long has been thinking about Lin Zheng's words, as a manager, his perspective on the problem is not the same as these researchers in the institute, and now hearing Lin Zheng say this, he raised his head. looked at Lin Zheng with blazing eyes: "Mr. Lin, what do you think of the mobile phone market in 10 years?" ”

"This ......" hesitated, Lin Zheng said: "I personally believe that by then, the number of domestic mobile phone users is expected to exceed 600 million, and the number of new mobile phones sold every year is expected to exceed 150 million, of which smartphones will account for more than 40%. ”

"Hiss......"

As soon as Lin Zheng's words fell, everyone gasped and looked at Lin Zheng with the eyes of a madman: In 10 years, China's mobile phone users exceeded 600 million, and 150 million mobile phones were sold every year, of which 40 million were smartphones. You Lin Zheng really dare to say it.

Isn't there at least 40 million demand for mobile phone chips in the Chinese market alone?

Lin Zheng understood the meaning of their gasping voice, and couldn't help but pout in his heart: Don't you know that there will be something called a tablet computer at that time, and the market demand for ARM-based semiconductor chips in China's consumer electronics market will be as high as 150 million in 10 years, I dare to tell you?

Director Long's eyes brightened more and more, and a sentence that stunned all the members of the entire Loongson research group blurted out: "Mr. Lin." What do you think if the Loongson research group and Lianchuang Technology cooperate to establish a company? ”

Lin Zheng frowned: "You mean, in the future, all the mobile phone chips used by Lianchuang Technology will be MIPS architecture, right?" ”

"Uh......" Director Long was a little embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "Probably." ”

"Do you know how much we paid to buy Arm's shares? Do you know how much it cost us to support ARM so far? Lin Zheng looked at Director Long. seemed to be smiling: "Now you want us to throw away all the hard work we have paid in the past and cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences instead?" Won't the Chinese Academy of Sciences give us our losses? ”

"This ......"

Director Long was speechless for a while, although he was also skeptical of Lin Zheng's words, but even if Lin Zheng's words were discounted in half, and then discounted, it was also a market of tens of millions, such a huge market, how precious it is to Loongson who is still in infancy does not need to be described, as long as Loongson can cut a piece of cake in this market, it will not only allow Loongson to live easily.

To survive, it means that there is a certain market share, for the Loongson project team with the "revitalization of the national semiconductor industry" on its shoulders, what is the market share?

It's a political achievement!

It is not only the political achievement of the Loongson project team, but also the political achievement of the Institute of Computing Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and even ...... It is also the political achievement of Vice President Jiang. As a bureaucrat, who can resist the temptation?

At least not the dragon director. Taking a deep breath, Director Long asked Lin Zheng, "Mr. Lin, how sure are you of what you said?" ”

"At least 7 percent!" Lin Zheng said without hesitation.

Minimum 7 percent ......

After 10 years, at least 7 percent of the certainty, which is almost 90 percent of the certainty.

Director Long hesitated, but the people in the Loongson research group were anxious, and hurriedly said: "Director, the future of Loongson is still desktop computers." ”

Well? That's right! Director Long reacted at this time: That's right, no matter how good Loongson is in the field of mobile phones, but Loongson was aiming at the personal desktop computer market at the beginning of its birth......

He began to hesitate again.

"Mr. Lin, look at this ......"

Director Long looked at Lin Zheng with an embarrassed expression, but unfortunately, he forgot what Lin Zheng was doing, and before he could finish speaking, Lin Zheng had already interrupted him: "Director Long, I think you forgot, this time I came here to help our Loongson research group, I will definitely try my best to help if I can, but if I can't do it, then I can only say sorry to you and you." ”

sneered in his heart: What are you kidding, you are planning to rely on me?

Nima!

The embarrassment on everyone's face, a group of people in the conference room reacted: just now, everyone subconsciously regarded Lin Zheng and Lianchuang Technology as their subordinate units, but forgot that people didn't have a dime to do with them at all, and Lin Zheng just came to give advice to himself, and wanted to command others to do something?

What are you...... Haven't woken up yet?

They are not only shareholders of ARM, but also obtained authorization and purchased patents from ARM, and developed and designed the chips they need on the basis of ARM architecture and instruction set, and can also produce them themselves; On the other hand, what about Loongson?

Forget it, don't look back, on the other hand, it's just a handful of snot and tears, and the miserable appearance is impossible to say.

The problem is that if everyone doesn't see hope, it's fine, but now, hope has been placed in front of everyone's eyes by Lin Zheng, and everyone will definitely not be able to accept the result of dashed hope.

What to do?

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Director Long. (To be continued.) )
