Chapter 117: Entering the field of chips
Go back on the subway.
Zheng Kexin's mobile phone received a penguin email, which was the offer sent to her by Xinghai Company.
Check your email and see the number in the salary column.
There was surprise on her face: it was so tall.
Speeding up her pace and returning home, she rushed into the house, and excitedly said to her mother, who was busy in the kitchen, "Mom, I have found a job!" Assistant to the deputy general manager of Xinghai Technology, with a monthly salary of 18K during the internship period! Mom, don't go to your barbershop in the future, I'll raise you! ”
She hugged her mother, laughing and jumping up.
"Okay, okay."
Zheng Xiaoqin patted her daughter's shoulder, tears flashing in her eyes.
secretly said in his heart: That ruthless thing can be regarded as a good thing for her.
……
July 20th.
Good news.
After nearly four months of busyness, the mechanical moving parts on the side of Arm Dragon Technology have finally successfully achieved mass production!
On the phone, Wang Quanlong's extremely hoarse voice said: "It's a success, Mr. Chen!" I'm not going to die this month, everyone in the factory is dying! It's out, and we have mass-produced high-end mechanical moving parts with qualified quality! ”
"Twenty pounds, I lost twenty pounds, and the weight loss that I never lost was successful, double happiness, double happiness."
"Hahaha, hahahaha~"
Wang Quanlong laughed, with a hint of crying in the strange laughter of the knife scraping the glass.
Not easy.
It's just not easy.
It's a purgatory from seeing hope to realizing dreams.
And everyone understands the significance of this breakthrough, and another field of high-end manufacturing has been broken by the people of country Z.
In the future, the mechanical moving parts required by the Wow Robot can be fully provided by Arm Dragon Technology.
In addition, the application of mechanical moving parts is also extensive, such as the movable joints of industrial robots, the arms of high-precision machining machine tools, civilian robots, and so on...... Although this part is small, it is also a huge market of 100 billion.
In the past, this high-end market was also 100% monopolized by foreign manufacturers.
Now, Arm Dragon Technology will completely break this situation.
"Good, very good!"
Chen Jin on the other end of the phone was also extremely excited, and said: "Mr. Wang, don't fight anymore, hurry up and rest, and sleep for three or three nights first!" Go back and have a celebration banquet and drink celebration wine! ”
Wang Quanlong said hello, then hung up the phone, lay down on the single bed, tilted his head, and fell into a deep sleep in a second.
Chen Jin is still immersed in excitement.
Relieved.
Starting today, he was finally relieved from some heavy lifting work.
There is no need to carry even one part from the base of the big pit.
Although this kind of moving work can bring him huge benefits, such as moving 50,000 pairs of mechanical moving parts every day, multiplied by 300, and earning 15 million per day, the money is no worse than moving gold, and it is not too noticeable.
But keep moving for four months?
It's not money that can be earned by lying down, and I don't want to make more money.
"It's better to engage in technology, how convenient it is to take out technical information, a small USB flash drive, weighing more than 20 grams, is worth tens of billions, hundreds of billions...... Is there anything more valuable in this world than knowledge? ”
Knowledge is the most valuable asset.
In this "supply chain crisis", he has learned a profound lesson: in terms of core components, never be controlled by others!
It is necessary to have the ability to supply independently to avoid the dilemma of being stuck in the neck at any time.
Especially in the "Intelligent Learning Machine" project, which he attaches great importance to, it is necessary to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Wow Wow Robot!
Chen Jin doesn't want to be a low-end transporter or porter anymore.
Therefore, for the "Intelligent Learning Machine" project, he plans to take precautions and eliminate potential hidden dangers in advance.
Among the hardware parts that constitute an intelligent learning machine, there are several items that belong to the core parts:
1. Screen
2、CPU
3. AI chips
4. Flash memory chips and memory chips
5. a camera module
These core parts.
There is no need to worry about supply chain problems for the screen, domestic suppliers such as Jingdongfang, Huaxing Optoelectronics, Youteng Optoelectronics, etc., can provide high-quality LED and ALMOED screens.
The probability of CPU supply problems is not large, the domestic Spreadtrum company, Baodao's TSMC, LinkTek, Qualcomm in country M, and Sanxin in the cold country are all CPU designers or manufacturers, and the competition is fierce, not to mention the blockade, it's too late to rush to sell the chip to you, and it's a fool not to make money.
There are also many companies doing AI chips in China, and the stronger ones are Han Wuji, Zhouyi Technology, Zhongtian Micro Technology, etc., but they are mainly engaged in Ai chip design, and few are involved in chip manufacturing.
With the strong support of the government, companies such as Dajiang Storage and Unisplendour Technology have made some achievements in the past two years and are solving the problem of mass production, and are not afraid of foreign suppliers running out of stock.
Camera module, Sunny Optics and Ofei Technology in country Z, the global market share accounts for the first and second respectively, and it is the world's camera module giant, gnawing a large part of the low-end market share. Of course, in the field of high-end cameras, the camera manufacturers in country Z are far inferior to the three giants of foreign Suo Ni, LG and Sharp, but there are many domestic manufacturers that can produce cameras with more than 10 million pixels, which can fully meet the needs.
Even, in the field of camera modules, there is a trend of being made into a cabbage industry by enterprises in country Z.
So...... Awesome my pot!
In terms of core components, there are fewer and fewer places where foreign manufacturers can restrict threats to country Z.
However, Chen Jin's intelligent learning machine still has a core part, and there is a greater risk of being stuck.
AI chips!
Because domestic companies focus on design and light manufacturing, their chip design capabilities are not weak, but chip manufacturing relies heavily on foundries in Baodao.
This is not good, Chen Jin can't put the lifeblood of "Intelligent Learning Machine" in such a place.
So he made two arrangements.
First, invest 500 million yuan to set up its own Ai chip R&D department, seek cooperation with domestic Han Wuji Technology Company, and customize the research and development of powerful Ai chips used in intelligent learning machines with the help of Han Wuji Company's talent advantages (R&D results belong to Xinghai Technology).
Second, it invested in Zhongxin International, a domestic chip foundry company, and signed a chip foundry cooperation agreement, and in the future, all the Ai chips required for the "Smart Learning Machine" will be manufactured by Zhongxin International.
It just so happens that the headquarters of Zhongxin International is in Shanghai, and the two companies are only three or four hundred meters apart in the high-tech zone where the headquarters of Xinghai Technology is located.
In addition, in the high-tech zone, Zhongxin International has built two modern chip factories, which can mass-produce the company's most advanced 14-nanometer chips.
It can be said that Zhongxin International, which has a favorable geographical location, has become the preferred partner for cooperation.
……
July 21.
After the intention of cooperation is confirmed in advance.
Chen Jin personally led a negotiation delegation composed of Ling Jundong, Liang Ying and other company executives to walk to the headquarters of Zhongxin International in the same park to have face-to-face cooperation talks with the company's senior management.
Zhang Weijing, the current chairman of Zhongxin International, attaches great importance to this business meeting, not only personally received it, but also attended the meeting in the negotiation conference room, including Qiu Cifeng, CEO of Zhongxin International, Liang Mengnan, general manager, and Yang Ming, R&D director.
"Mr. Chen, I have been looking up for a long time, I didn't expect you to be so young at all."
"Mr. Zhang, your company is the most advanced and best chip foundry enterprise in China, and it has achieved the fourth place in the world, which is amazing, and you are the pride of country Z."
After the two sides blew each other on business.
Zhang Weijing got to the point and asked: "Mr. Chen, I don't know how much your company plans to invest in Zhongxin International to support our chip manufacturing?" ”
