Chapter 14 Compression Chips

At eleven o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lu Yi received a message from Li Yashan that her younger brother had come to the South Campus.

booked a box in Yuyi, Lu Yi called Lin Meng, and the four of them met at the door of Yuyi.

"Lu Lu, here."

Li Yashan took the lead in shouting Lu Yi, and walked up to greet Lin Meng: "Hello, you are Lin Meng, right?" ”

"Hello."

Lin Meng responded politely, neither of them showed anything on their faces, but their eyes vaguely swept each other's faces, skin color, chest, legs, and the way they were dressed.

Today's Lin Meng wore a white shirt, the lower skirt wrapped the hem of the shirt to reveal snow-white smooth calves, a pair of white board shoes under his feet, and his hair was naturally combed straight with the bookish atmosphere of a scholar, which looked particularly quiet.

As for Li Yashan, she is in a black shirt, there is a Garfield on her chest with a little bulging face, compared with Lin Meng, it should belong to the difference between 36D and 34D, the lower body is denim shorts to show her fair and slender legs, her hair is permed and curly, she looks charming and gentle, and her height of 1.72 meters makes ordinary boys dare not stand close at all.

"Let's go inside." Lu Yi said hello to Li Minghui, who was hiding away from his sister, and beckoned Lin Meng and Li Yashan to go in.

"You can see if this algorithm can be compiled into a program that can be burned directly into the chip."

Entering the box, Lu Yi took out his laptop and opened the algorithm and displayed it in front of Li Yashan and Li Minghui.

"Burn into the chip?"

Li Minghui reached out and slid a few times on the touchpad of his notebook, and the algorithm was very concise, revealing the beauty of mathematics.

"More than 10 to 1 lossless compression?"

After reading it for more than ten minutes, Li Minghui, who had roughly groped through the annotations, exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

"What!"

Li Yashan next to her was also shocked, Lu Yi said that he needed to help compile a compression algorithm, the program structure, ideas and conversion algorithms were already available, and only one programmer was needed to compile the implementation, but he didn't say that it was such an awesome algorithm.

"How? Are you interested in trying to be a CEO and be responsible for the operation of this compression algorithm? Lu Yi saw Li Yashan's surprised look and got straight to the point.

"This algorithm is very concise, and it is not large to compile into an actual program, and it can be directly burned into the chip."

On the other hand, Li Minghui roughly conceived in his mind and gave a professional opinion.

"Lu Lu, what do you want to do?"

After understanding the lossless compression rate of this algorithm, Li Yashan's first thought was to find major live broadcast platforms, short video platforms, and video websites to charge protection fees.

Because broadband fees are the biggest expense of live streaming platforms and related video platforms, a lossless compression algorithm of more than 10:1 will definitely enable them to turn from burning money at a loss to making a profit, and use the highest image quality unscrupulously, rather than sacrificing the user experience to use low-resolution image quality in order to save money.

But Lu Yi is now going to burn the chip, and also said that she should be the CEO, and now Li Yashan is a little confused.

"I need a lot of money, but the fees charged by this algorithm from major online platforms alone are not enough, and there is a risk of being cracked.

Lu Yi analyzed seriously and calmly, and the handsome face that was usually lazy in salted fish became serious at the moment, which made Li Minghui next to him a little sideways.

"What does this have to do with you burning into the chip, just to register a patent? However, the registration of a patent in combination with the chip does not prevent it from being cracked and used on the online platform. ”

Li Yashan stared at Lu Yi's face for a while, and finally reined in the surging girl's heart and switched to a rational thinking mode.

"So I don't plan to apply it to the network platform, but burn it into the chip to register a patent and apply it directly to the field of communications."

Lu Yi took out his artificial mentally retarded Mi 8 mobile phone, looked at Li Yashan and said: "On the communication base station side, add an extra chip on the baseband board, decompress and restore the received mobile phone data and then transmit it to the target ID, and compress the data to be sent to the mobile phone before sending."

The mobile phone terminal is also loaded with one more chip, which decompresses and restores the data received by the baseband chip, and compresses the data to be transmitted to the baseband chip.

At present, the lossless compression rate of this algorithm reaches 7 percent, which means that two chips are loaded at both ends of the communication, which is theoretically equivalent to increasing the data transmission rate by 14 times on the basis of the original communication.

Even if the performance limitation of the chip is thrown away and the limitation of the conversion speed is thrown away, the final rate will not be less than 8 times, or even 10 times. ”

Goo-dong.

Li Minghui next to him swallowed his saliva with difficulty, feeling crazy about Lu Yi's thoughts.

5G network speed, 8 times 10 times, what is the concept?

"What do I need to do? 5G has not been running for a long time, and it is a bit difficult to change the communication standard now. ”

At this time, Li Yashan probably guessed why Lu Yi said that she would make herself the CEO, but she did not resist, but felt eager to try.

Just as the rich second generation doesn't want to be the rich second generation, the children of these special classes also want to prove themselves.

And once this thing is done, it can become a further driving force for the family, and if it fails, there is no real loss.

"It's not a little big, it's very big."

Lu Yi smiled bitterly: "This requires a tripartite alliance of mobile phone manufacturers, communication equipment manufacturers, and communication operators, and the interests involved are too great." ”

In the previous CDMA era, Qualcomm used the patent monopoly advantage to charge a patent fee of 5% to 10% from the selling price of each CDMA mobile phone, and also used this to drive Texas Instruments, which was once the No.1 mobile chip NO.1, out of the mobile phone chip market.

At that time, telecom was the CDMA model, which is also the reason why telecom mobile phones were generally more expensive than the same mobile Unicom mobile phones in the past.

Now this compression algorithm is not as important as the baseband chip, but if it opens up the situation, it will definitely become the standard configuration in the communication field and the mobile phone industry, and the interests involved are a huge magnitude.

"I'm sure that since you came up with this idea, you must have a general or even specific plan."

After a few years in the same class and a few years of feeding, Li Yashan still knows Lu Yi's personality well, and looks at him with a smile.

"Taking ZTE as a breakthrough"

Lu Yi's tone was firm, and he said slowly: "Their mobile phone business is in a loss-making state but they have not given up, they are the fourth largest communication equipment manufacturer in the world, and they have a close relationship with the three major operators.

The Internet speed is increased by 8 times and 10 times on the basis of 5G, which is absolutely unparalleled in the market competitiveness, and we guarantee that this chip will only be supplied to them for a certain period of time, so that they can restore the competitiveness of the mobile phone business.

And their contribution is to promote the upgrading of the communication network, without the three major operators to upgrade comprehensively, a single operator is enough. ”

"It comes at a cost of equity."

Li Yashan understands very clearly, even if she has the background to talk to ZTE, in the end, everything still has to be implemented in the interests of the people.

This is an opportunity for ZTE, and even for operators who are constantly cutting their profits and urgently need to expand their profitable areas, but they will not easily hand over their lifeblood to others.

In the semi-closed communications industry, as long as the equipment vendors and operators do not agree, no matter how good your technology is, it is useless.

"My bottom line is to keep 25 percent, give you 3 percent, and then you can talk about the rest, of course, the less you give up, the better."

In this day and age, companies in which the founders own all the shares are destined to not grow, let alone in the field of communications.

According to Lu Yi's estimate of the size of this market, the income of 25% of the shares is enough to support the consumption in the early stage.

"That's no problem, but I'm the CEO, so what are you going to do?" Thinking of Lu Yi saying that the CEO gave him just now, Li Yashan was a little puzzled.

"Study, sleep, eat soft rice, maybe consider whether to be a scientist."

"So you say you need a lot of money?"

"Research costs money, the laboratory, the construction of a plasma research institute, the recruitment of doctoral students to do research, all of these all cost money, and Lin Meng also has credit for this algorithm, and promised to send her a supercomputer."

Lu Yi didn't hide it, and when he mentioned supercomputing, Lin Meng, who had been quiet and didn't speak, showed a trace of astonishment.
