It was late at night at the end of the meeting, because it was already night when the supercomputer verification results were completed, and the head of HiSilicon did not leave work after the meeting, but returned to his office, sat quietly and pondered for a long time, and typed down an open letter to all HiSilicon employees in front of the computer at around the early hours of the morning:

【

Dear colleagues of HiSilicon,

Ploughshare is included in the list of entities of the North **IS. Many years ago, during the breezy season of HiSilicon, the company made the assumption of extreme survival, predicting that one day, all the advanced chips and technologies in North America would be unavailable, and Huawei would continue to serve customers. For this assumption, which was thought to never happen, thousands of HiSilicon sons and daughters embarked on the most tragic long march in the history of science and technology, creating a "spare tire" for the company's survival

For thousands of days and nights, we traveled hard and forcibly. Faced with thousands of scientific and technological problems, we have failed and puzzled countless times, but we have never given up. In the years that followed, when we gradually got out of the confusion and saw hope, we were inevitably a little lost and unwilling, worried that many chips would never be enabled and become a spare tire pressed in the security cabinet.

Today, at this extreme and darkest moment of fate, the superpowers, mercilessly terminating the global cooperative technology and industrial system, have made the most crazy decision to put the company on the entity list under unwarranted conditions.

Today, it is the choice of history, and all the spare tires we have built have turned "positive" overnight! Years of hard work, overnight to fulfill the company's commitment to continue to serve customers. As a result, these efforts have been linked together to turn the tide.

Today, this darkest day, is the day when every ordinary son and daughter of HiSilicon becomes a hero of the times! We are determined to bring the digital world to every person, every home, and every organization, and build a fully connected, intelligent world, and we will continue to do so.

In the future, in order to realize this ideal, we must not only maintain open innovation, but also achieve scientific and technological independence.

In the future, there will be no more decade to build a spare tire and then change it, the buffer zone has disappeared, and every new product born will have to be synchronized with the "technological self-reliance" program.

The road ahead is more difficult, we will use courage, wisdom and perseverance to straighten our backs under the pressure of the limit and strive to move forward! The monstrous waves showed the true character of the hero, and the hardships and hardships forged Noah's Ark.

The last time HiSilicon took action, the open letter was immediately sent to the mailbox of every HiSilicon employee through the Internet.

All of a sudden, an open letter ignited the whole network, and the entire Internet boiled over it.

It was in the middle of the night that a topic that surfaced became a super hot topic on the Internet: What is the existence of Huawei HiSilicon in the domestic chip industry?

There are those who are enthusiastic about it, and there are those who are ridiculed.

A HiSilicon employee couldn't sleep for a long time after reading the open letter sent by the president late at night, and he couldn't help but open the webpage, and sure enough, the content of the open letter was spreading to the entire network at an extraordinary speed, like a depth charge detonating, and this night was destined to be a sleepless night.

He happened to see the super hot spot that had just come out on the Internet, and when he saw the comments of netizens, his heart couldn't stop surging with enthusiasm, but he was angry when he saw some cynicism, although these small number of ridicule were quickly drowned out by netizens' spittle, which made him feel comforted, and his efforts were finally seen by most people and recognized by most people.

Faced with this question, he suddenly had a strong desire to talk, so the HiSilicon employee tapped on the keyboard in an anonymous way and began to edit paragraph after paragraph of text:

『

Let's write something about HiSilicon.

I vaguely remember that when Tianqing Technology was sanctioned by North America last year, the keyboard warriors had a strong sense of justice and were invincible.

But think about it carefully, as a technology company that develops intelligent machinery or exoskeletons, is it Tianqing's pot to be banned from selling chips? If one day Huawei also fell because of the sanctions in North America, is it also Huawei's fault?

As the first company in the world to realize the civilian commercialization of exoskeletons (Boston Dynamics, which is known as the strongest company in the industry, has not achieved private commercialization), there is no core technology, and no one with a little brain will believe it.

Think about it on your toes, why pit a company against hundreds of the most cutting-edge tech giants of a superpower? Especially now that the global division of labor is so clear.

Huawei is the same, keyboard warriors want Huawei, a private enterprise, to compete with the century-old giants Ericsson and Nokia in communication equipment; In the consumer business, foreign countries have to compete with a national-level Samsung Group and Apple, a technology company with a market value of more than one trillion US dollars; In China, we have to compete with companies like Xiaomi that are really kind, and selling them more expensive will be called patriotic tax and IQ tax.

Even, HiSilicon Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Huawei's 2012 laboratory, has to compete with Qualcomm and Apple, the world's top technology giants.

This is not enough, according to Keyboard Man, HiSilicon does not say surpass, at least the product cannot lag behind the world's top N chip design companies, Broadcom, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Intel, etc.

I just want to say, a company that has just started to have a positive revenue in one or four years, what to do with these multinational tech giants! Meantime! Meantime! Meantime! Compete?

That's right, when choosing a model for each product, we will consider that this thing does not use the United States, is there any alternative? The reality is very cruel, there are some things, which are really only available to the US imperialists. For example, Meidi xlinx, which specializes in FPGAs, has occupied the market for decades, making a lot of money, and the money earned is used to subsidize continued research and development. A virtuous circle, proud of the best. And what about the ploughshare? There may only be a few dozen people in the department who are assigned to FPGA R&D and a pitiful amount of funds, so what can they compete with others?

Some keyboard warriors, it is you who say that the unicorn is not good, it is also you who say that the R&D funds of the plough are from the consumer pit, and you who say the patriotic tax and the IQ tax, I ask, what is the biggest goal of a private enterprise?

Live, of course!

Make some money when possible, which is why most domestic companies are reluctant to research and development, the state does not pay, consumers do not pay, where is the money for research and development? Who will pay for this loss? Friends? I wish you were dying. Consumers? Who will buy this patriotic tax + IQ tax?

We are strong and have worked so hard to survive, and we are proud of that. We are also very fragile, under the comprehensive suppression of a superpower, we are like an ant, the face of the world's most powerful person is gone, relying on the power of the state to kill a private enterprise, too easy, isn't it?

As I get older, I always love bricks in my eyes. Especially when I received the president's email, I felt really uncomfortable. We have made so many efforts, spending hundreds of billions of dollars on R&D every year, just to survive. Those PLANBs are the results of how many people's hard work and how many years of forbearance, and only they can barely survive.

How many people can understand our efforts? When the first generation of HiSilicon's products was launched, it almost ruined Huawei's mobile phone business.

The loss of hundreds of billions of billions of dollars was finally exchanged for HiSilicon 980, and when it was finally able to stand side by side with SoCs such as Qualcomm, Samsung, and Apple, it was crazy because of the products it carried. Indeed, the Kirin is not as good as Snapdragon and Apple in some ways. But at least it is the only high-end chip in the domestic chip that does not have a generation difference with its foreign counterparts. Not to mention stepping into the A11, the kind of thing that does not have the baseband is not necessarily better than the 980 experience, because the signal and battery life are sacrificed.

Speaking of the two smart terminals that the 980 is equipped with, the Mate series and the P series. Because of the use of Jingdongfang's screen, it was crazy to take the rhythm. But there is no way, in order to survive first, we have to support domestic enterprises. Even if there is a gap between the current quality and Samsung, even if it is attacked by the rest of the manufacturers that use Samsung, even if there will be a green screen door of M20P and a large fruit of P30P, you must bite the bullet.

And will it be the consumers who will pay for this price? Will it be a friend? Will it be a keyboard warrior? Will it be a bar spirit? In the end, only the ploughshare pays for himself, this is the price, the price of living.

It's just that in the case of national production capacity substitution, try to consider domestic production, whether it is Tianqing, Huawei, DJI, etc., don't spray wildly because a certain company has been sanctioned by the United States, and don't be arrogant and lick foreign ghosts.

And no one said that you have to buy a plough for the product, each has its own love, I am a rice noodle, all the belongings are only watches are ploughshares, brush the bus Alipay is not too cool, and the others are small mi, because the price is really kind.

Mr. Ren also said that he can't be narrow-minded because he loves to use the plough for the mobile phone!

Once again, I admire the strategic foresight of the top...... It's too bad, to give a few examples, three years ago, the mobile phone just launched a dual camera, and everyone was still discussing whether the dual camera was useful (mainly because Apple didn't use it at the time, otherwise it must be really fragrant), Huawei has begun to develop hinges, that's right, it is the hinge of the folding screen, which is stronger than Samsung's hinge door and I don't know where to go; For example, in the case of 5G Bazi, the baseband balong5000 has been launched (there is also a code mixed with what I wrote, and I am proud when I think about it).

Therefore, consumers may not be boasting about the goal of quadrupling in five years, but some technologies have not been announced, although we don't think we have any pride, but since North America says that the plough is a cow pen, it may be a real cow pen......

Finally, we are allowed to shout our slogan.

Bring the digital world to everyone, no family, no organization, and build a fully connected, intelligent world!

Come on, come on Hisilicon, at least end my year-end first.

……

In the middle of May this year, an open letter released in the early morning was instantly swiped across the Internet, and the whole network was boiling overnight.

"In the darkest moment, Fang Xianhua is the spirit, and the president of HiSilicon sends a letter to the employees! Superburn!" ——"Today's Headlines"

"Huawei HiSilicon's open letter swiped the whole network late at night, and the "spare tire" turned positive!" - "Drive Evening News"

"Hua Wei sent the most hardcore open letter in history in the early morning! Review the years of resistance to the United States." ——"Beiqing Net"

And the next day, the news of the science and technology circle was almost swept by this blockbuster news, and the major media reported it with front-page headlines, and the hot search index directly topped the day on the same day, and online discussions were almost everywhere.

"Burn! Burn! Burn! It's exploded! ”

"The first time I watched a piece of news that could be so burning, it was so exciting, and the ploughshare was a bad (broken sound) !!"

"Mr. Ren is an entrepreneur and a strategist. [Like] [Like] [Like]"

"The ploughshare that tastes the gall of the salary, does not make the eagle sauce that does not die! Witness the era of legends, the era of ploughshares! ”

"Mr. Ren and Hua Wei used actions to explain what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace and why to be prepared for danger in times of peace, which vividly shows that people must have near-term worries without foresight."

"The current crisis awareness gene comes entirely from Mr. Ren's difficult life experience before the age of 40, and only those who have experienced it can understand that kind of despair?"

"It's really exciting to read this letter, and it's good!"

"There is a king of hole cards, don't panic! Praise for the ploughshare! ”

"Touched, tears in my eyes! Excited, blood boiling! ”

"If nothing else, Hua Wei is a company that has not been defeated by the sanctions of the strongest super-hooligans on the surface of the Blue Star for many years, and can quickly adjust and fight back in the face of this world-class strangulation, which has never been seen in the world. Alstom, referring to the French, also faced the ruthless strangulation of the US imperialists, and finally Alstom ended tragically. ”

"Huawei has HiSilicon that is as famous as Snapdragon, Huawei can be self-reliant in science and technology, and Huawei can be even stronger in the sound of artillery fire!"

"Bad (Broken Voice) !!"

"In the past, we couldn't design chips, they said that chip design is the core technology, but now we can design chips, and they say that chip architecture is the core technology. When we can design the chip architecture, they say that chip manufacturing is the core technology, and when we have our own chip manufacturing plant, they say that the lithography machine is the core technology, and when we can produce the lithography machine ourselves, they say that the lens in the lithography machine is the core technology, and when we can make the lens ourselves, they say that monocrystalline silicon is the core technology, and when we make our own monocrystalline silicon, they say that the production of monocrystalline silicon is the core technology......"
