Overnight, "spare tire" became a hot search keyword on the whole network, and the news spread in a very short period of time, and soon spread overseas, and foreign media began to report it in a big way.

After reading HiSilicon's open letter, it must be false to say that foreign supply chain partners are not panicking, how many years has Huawei been suppressed? So far, the more he fights, the more courageous he is, and the Alstom of the French is completely different.

The North American authorities must be super unhappy, but they didn't expect Huawei to hide such a hand.

When such a big thing happened, the Internet was even more boiling, and the major media were hot, and it was naturally impossible for Gu Cheng not to know.

It's just that the outside world doesn't know that it is the founder of Tianqing Technology, who is almost ignored by the media, who ignites this sentiment.

This result is actually Gu Chengle's opinion, he doesn't want to be more disliked by the global media, and now that he is in front of him, he is muffled to climb the science (wai) technique (gua), isn't it beautiful and fast.

Tianqing corporate headquarters.

"HiSilicon's letter is really exciting." In the chairman's office, Qiu Shiming said with emotion that it stands to reason that people in middle age will not be easily aroused by external things, but looking at the content of this letter, Lao Qiu can hardly hide his excitement.

After a while, Qiu Shiming turned to look at Gu Cheng and said with a smile: "Huawei has publicly turned the 'spare tire' into a positive one, and it seems that our low-key days are coming to an end, especially you." ”

Lao Qiu is one of the few people who knows the real reason, as Gu Cheng breaks his cognition in terms of technology development ability again and again, the current Qiu Shiming has become numb, anyway, as long as Gu Cheng tells him for sure that he can handle a certain technology, he will no longer be shocked and incredible, and he will not doubt it.

This is the case after a lot of experience!

In addition to describing and sighing with super-geniuses, Tesla-like, inventors who have been rare for hundreds of years, I can't find more and better adjectives to describe his evil.

Anyway, don't ask, if you ask, you're a genius.

"We want to keep a low profile, but our strength doesn't allow it, so let's let it be." Gu Cheng said with a smile, what else can you do besides this, you can't give up your martial arts for the sake of being low-key, right?

Qiu Shiming changed the topic and said: "With the purely domestic supply chain system initially established before, our TQv1 architecture layout has a solid foundation. ”

Gu Cheng immediately leaned back against the sofa and moved: "In the end, I finally entered the ICT industry." ”

Qiu Shiming said with a smile: "We only do the underlying architecture design, and we don't say that we want to make chips, or how many people are needed." ”

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as an absolute lifeline in the semiconductor industry, but it is necessary to say that all major links are lifeblood, and the entire industrial chain is indispensable.

The underlying design architecture is the foundation, yes, but there is still no lithography machine, with these, you can't play without an etching machine, and in the same way, monocrystalline silicon is off the chain, and you can't play it.

If any link drops the chain, other supply chain manufacturers can only stare dryly, this is the semiconductor industry.

According to the ICT industry supply chain, there are more than 2,000 manufacturing processes for a chip from design to delivery, and the core links mainly include six parts.

Software design is a major link, chip design software is the key tool for chip companies to design chip structure, the current chip structure design mainly relies on EDA software to complete, which is one of them;

The second is the instruction set system, from a technical point of view, the CPU is only highly integrated with millions of small switches, without an efficient instruction set system, the chip cannot run the operating system and software;

The third is chip design, which mainly connects the interface of electronic products and services;

The fourth is manufacturing equipment, that is, equipment for the production of chips, which is monopolized by ASML, such as lithography equipment;

The fifth is wafer foundry, which is the production workshop of the chip from the drawings to the product, which determines the performance indicators such as the nano process used in the chip.

Finally, packaging and testing, which is the last link before the chip enters the market, the main purpose is to ensure the quality of the product, and the technical demand is relatively low.

The main links of the major supply chain of chips are all over the world, such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, etc., and no country can establish a complete supply chain system alone, because semiconductors have their own unique "Moore's Law".

After the discussion, Qiu Shiming took out a cigarette and handed it to Gu Cheng, and lit one himself: "Mr. Gu, I really can't understand how you completed the TQv1 architecture alone?" ”

TQ is the meaning of the first letter of "Tianqing", Tianqing Technology is "forced" to enter the ICT field this time, and it will not go too deep, and it also intends to take the path of Arm licensing, so it does not need to build its own production line to make chips, but to procure.

The importance of Arm to the industry is self-evident, but the number of employees in such a company is only more than 1,000, which is completely disproportionate to the scale of hundreds of thousands of employees such as Huawei and Intel.

Similarly, Tianqing Technology does not need too many employees in the underlying design business, and it is expected to recruit more than 1,500 related employees in this area.

Gu Cheng made a start, and the subsequent iterations were handed over to the scientists and engineers recruited by the company to upgrade the iterations, and Boss Gu loved life more.

"After all, we are a commercial company, what are you going to do with the licensing fee of the TQv1 architecture?" Qiu Shiming looked at Gu Cheng and said that he wanted to spin off this business and set up an additional subsidiary to be responsible for the ICT business.

Lao Qiu's idea also came to Gu Cheng's mind: "Set up a subsidiary to be responsible for this business, just call it ...... Tianqing structure is wholly owned by the parent company. As for the licensing fee...... Profitability is definitely a must, but at this juncture, we must also reflect the due mind and big picture. ”

Gu Cheng immediately sat up straight, looked at Qiu Shiming and added: "I think so, we must look at the world, foreign manufacturers can also authorize, how to charge for it, on the basis of Arm's 'predecessors', let's mention it a 35% ratio, love it or not, don't pull it down." ”

"And for domestic manufacturers, we start from the terminal consumption, such as Xiaomi, plough for these mobile phone manufacturers, their terminal products are sold to the domestic we do not charge royalties, or every day to ship mobile phones we symbolically hand a dollar, but domestic manufacturers ship abroad according to the proportion of 3% of the sales price of each mobile phone, and if one day in the future foreign mobile phone manufacturers also become our customers, then according to the proportion of 6.66%, foreigners do not like 666 feel inauspicious, that's right, hemorrhage, But I like the number. ”

Integration is the trend of the future, not only mobile phones, but also computers, tablets, TVs, automobiles, smart wearable devices and many other products inside the underlying chip design, from this point of view, the upcoming "Tianqing architecture" is enough to kill Arm's business capabilities.

Tianqing exoskeleton needs 19 fast chips, and a smart phone is more than 30 various chips integrated, the progress of chips is reflected in a high degree of integration, of course, miniaturization.

As chips become more and more advanced, there will be fewer and fewer chip modules inside an electrical product, and the performance will become more and more advanced, which is reflected in the terminal products more and more miniaturized.

"What should I do at the next juncture." Qiu Shiming agrees with his decision, and if he wants to overturn Arm's dominance, he also needs the support of domestic manufacturers, because it is impossible for foreign manufacturers to support it.

Not only will it not be desperately suppressed the layout of the TQv1 architecture solution, but only when the overall situation has been decided and the reality is recognized, foreign manufacturers will lick it up, and then they will be slaughtered one by one.

It's cool to think about!

During this time, Gu Cheng was working on ICT matters such as operating systems, but after Xiaoqing was introduced to the company's headquarters, his understanding of Tianqing Technology not only did not fall behind, but became more detailed than before, because in addition to Qiu Shiming would report to him regularly, Xiaoqing also reported to him.

Except for Xiaoqing's more detailed details, almost all of them are the same, which also proves that Qiu Shiming can be trusted.

The current strategy of Tianqing Technology is still to uphold the policy of "consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan" set by Lao Qiu, to consolidate the foundation and deepen the foundation of Tianqing Company, and the expansion is carried out in a small way, and the strategic plan is drawn up first, and there is no blind barbaric expansion.

At present, the company's important affairs are the construction of the hive headquarters and the construction of Tianqing Industrial Zone.

Unlike those Internet companies that are asset-light and easy to turn around, Tianqing Technology is an absolutely dominant enterprise in the asset-heavy station, and they are all high-tech industries or products involved in national security, so it is even more necessary to stay sober and not blindly expand, otherwise it will be extremely uncomfortable to turn around and turn the rudder once something goes wrong.
