Zhou Yu is in the office to learn about the scientific research progress of the R&D center.

Wang Jian walked into the office and reported to Zhou Yu: "Mr. Zhou, I have sent the Fuxi type 1 chip and the Nuwa type 1 chip to Huawei."

After Wang Jian's report, he asked suspiciously: "The chip we developed should be used in our company's own equipment first, why do we provide chip samples to Huawei."

"Of course, in order to seek cooperation with Huawei, the patents of our two companies are very complementary." Zhou Yu explained indifferently.

He sent graphene chips to Huawei, which was to ask for directions, and to see Huawei's demand for high-performance chips, so as to lay the foundation for the next cooperation.

Due to the characteristics of its preparation process, graphene chips have very strong editability, and adjusting its graphene transistor layout can edit many special chips.

Huawei's most fundamental business is not to produce chips for mobile phones and smart devices, it is the world's largest supplier of network equipment, and 5G base stations need a large number of communication chips, most of which are monopolized by European and American countries.

The United States used the trick of cutting off the supply of chips to almost destroy ZTE, the world's fourth largest network equipment supplier.

Huawei needs to cede a large amount of profits in order to obtain a stable supply of chips.

They learned that Xinghuo Technology has the hope of producing these chips, and will definitely come to the company to seek cooperation, so that Xinghuo Technology can also obtain the technology they urgently need.

"This should be their initiative to beg us, our company has successfully manufactured graphene chips, and there is no longer a need for Huawei to provide chips." Wang Jian asked puzzled.

Zhou Yu knew that the company's executives had this doubt, and he took the opportunity to explain: "In addition to the CPU and GPU, Huawei's SOC also has a communication baseband.

CPUs and GPUs are our company's strengths, and the Fuxi Type 1 graphene chip is naturally capable of handling holograms.

However, it is difficult for our company to develop the baseband, which requires more than ten years of investment in the communication field to develop an excellent baseband.

Otherwise, just like Apple using Intel's baseband, the network signal will be cut off and the call will be unstable, which will greatly hurt the company's reputation.

Our company's technology in baseband chips is definitely not as good as Intel's, and the technical field of communication is not something that can be done well by recruiting some people.

What's more, we can't directly avoid the patent barriers of silicon-based chips like we do with graphene chips.

Patents in the field of communications are more complicated, and we are researching new varieties of basebands, and we can't let all operators around the world replace network base stations.

If we don't cooperate with Huawei, and no other company can cooperate with us, which consumer will buy smart devices that cannot be connected to the Internet.

In fact, there is another solution, which is to use an external baseband solution.

But now the baseband is integrated on the SOC, whether this is an external baseband or a SOC external graphene chip, and the graphene chip needs a special motherboard, and it is not compatible with the silicon-based chip motherboard, which is by no means a good solution. ”

After listening to Zhou Yu's story, Wang Jian immediately understood that smart devices that cannot be connected to the Internet will indeed affect its sales, and he will understand the company's purpose.

In the Huawei Research Center in Pengcheng, hundreds of experts are stepping up research on the two chips sent by Xinghuo Technology.

Tan Yingjiong, Huawei's chief expert in chip design, also called to communicate with Academician Tian Kai, the chip designer.

Qin Lishan, Huawei's rotating president in charge of technology, is waiting for the results of the experts.

After two nights and a day of sleepless research, chip experts obtained basic data on graphene chips.

After verifying the performance of the graphene chip, Tan Yingjiong reported to Qin Lishan: "President, we have verified the chip performance of Xinghuo Technology, and communicated with Academician Tian Kai, the designer of the chip, and learned about the characteristics of some graphene chips.

The performance of the Fuxi Type 1 graphene chip is 5.98 times higher than that of our Kirin chip, and the Nuwa Type 1 graphene chip is 6.15 times higher than that of the Kunpeng server chip.

Graphene chips can be very convenient to design and process transistor layouts, and our chip designs can be easily transplanted to graphene chips.

More than 98% of 5G base station related chips can be transplanted to graphene chips.

The most important thing is that the graphene chip design is simple, which can save 80% of research time and research funds.

The production process of graphene chips is simple, easy to produce on a large scale, the cost of tape-out is low, and the overall cost of the chip is only 40% of the original. ”

After Tan Yingjiong reported on the situation of the graphene chip, he provided Qin Lishan with a detailed report on the chip.

Qin Lishan read the report carefully, and he sighed: "I didn't expect such an advanced chip to be produced in China, so I immediately reported to Mr. Ren and suggested that I reach cooperation with Xinghuo Technology."

On June 28, Xinghuo Technology ushered in Huawei's negotiation team.

The team leader is Qin Lishan, the rotating president of Huawei, the deputy team leader is Tan Yingjiong, the chief chip expert, and Yan Dali, the president of the enterprise BG.

Zhou Yu didn't expect Huawei to react so quickly, and it can also be seen from this that they are eager for domestic chips.

Not to mention that once a certain technology is localized, with Huaxia's strong industrial system, it can be instantly made into a cabbage price.

Just saying that multiple suppliers supply goods, companies can negotiate prices more flexibly, and there is no possibility of being choked by someone, which can make many companies rush to it.

Zhou Yu also quickly completed the formation of the negotiation team of Xinghuo Technology, with himself as the team leader, Tian Kai and Yu Zhenfeng as the deputy team leaders, and the heads of the finance department and the legal department accompanied the negotiation.

Huawei can negotiate with Xinghuo Technology so quickly, and of course they have great expectations for cooperation.

For the sake of wireless communication technology, Xinghuo Technology also hopes that they can reach a smooth cooperation.

The leaders of both parties have a strong intention to cooperate, and they also know where the bottom line of the other party is, and they will not gain an inch.

They all tried their best to increase the interests of their side in the compromise, and after several hours of long talks, Zhou Yu and Qin Lishan quickly reached a cooperation plan in the general direction.

Xinghuo Technology and Huawei jointly developed a 5G baseband and 5G base station communication chip based on graphene chips.

Xinghuo Technology authorized Huawei to use the graphene chip framework and intelligent instruction set, and the chip factory specially manufactured various graphene chips for Huawei.

Huawei authorizes Xinghuo Technology to use all 5G communication patents.

Huawei and Xinghuo Technology researchers formed a special R&D team for 5G graphene chips to jointly develop chips.

After the framework of cooperation was reached, Zhou Yu and Qin Lishan shook hands and said happily: "The cooperation is happy, and I believe that the two companies will work together to develop the best 5G chip ecology."

"Win-win cooperation, we work together to build a 5G ecological chain, and your company's graphene chip freedom is really high, which can minimize our transplantation costs." Qin Lishan said excitedly.

The two companies reached a cooperation agreement, and Huawei immediately dispatched a chip and communication R&D team to temporarily join the Xiong'an Graphene Chip Research Institute.

They jointly developed a graphene-based SOC with Xinghuo Technology, and also consulted the chip team of Academician Tian Kai to complete the design of communication chips with the help of Xinghuo Technology.
