Rebus sat in his office, his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just now, Zhou Zhen politely rejected Rebus's request to buy Tianxuan processor chips.

This made Rebus feel a little uncomfortable.

To be honest, in Rebus's heart, Zhou Zhen's company's achievements today are all the credit of his Rebus.

Zhou Zhen's Rouyu Company did not have enough funds to expand production capacity in the early days, nor did it have enough channels to sell products.

It was the rice company that not only gave capital investment, but also gave the other party sales channels, so that the soft feather company, which had just gained a foothold in the screen panel industry, ushered in the first opportunity to rise.

But what about the result? After Rouyu Company became the top company in the entire screen industry, it began to be inseparable from the rice company.

Even this cunning gadget actually set himself up, and all the shares of Rouyu Company in the hands of the rice company were taken out at once.

In Rebus's view, Zhou Zhen's Rouyu company is a company that has risen with his own support.

Zhou Zhen's Zhenyu (Kuaiyin) company also provides free publicity channels for rice.

Even most of the supply chain channels of the newly rising Roupai Company were obtained by Zhou Zhen during his tenure at the rice company.

Rebus can even be very proud to say: "Without the rice company, Zhou Zhen's current status would not be possible!" ”

If Zhou Zhen hears this sentence, Zhou Zhen will probably have to reply: If you can't drink it, go to the dog's table.

Now Rebus felt a little angry, but he was a little helpless.

After all, now the company behind Zhou Zhen has basically grown to a very high level, and even the current Dali company is helpless against it.

It can even be said that Zhou Zhen has become a force in the entire industry.

At present, all mobile phone companies basically have to act according to Zhou Zhen's face.

After all, R3 and R4 materials, as well as the just-launched R3+ material screen, have become the best OLED screen panels that domestic manufacturers can use.

In the current era of fierce competition in the mobile phone industry, whoever has better supply chain components has the opportunity to seize more market share.

Rebus was a little uncomfortable, but he could only swallow this breath into his stomach.

As the saying goes, "cooperation is not successful, friendship is in!" ”

As long as Zhou Zhen has this strength now, any manufacturer will have a deep friendship with Zhou Zhen.

Unless Zhou Zhen doesn't have that strength and status.

Zhou Zhen on the other side can be regarded as having finally found some corresponding partners after considering many factors.

Berry family, green factory, blue factory three manufacturers.

These three manufacturers have a lot of cooperation with Zhou Zhen, and they can be regarded as strategic senior partners.

Berry and Roupai have a cooperation between the flyme system, and Rouyu is also the only screen supply chain manufacturer of Berry.

At a time when most manufacturers are implementing a policy of mixing multiple screens, Berry's strategy can be regarded as entrusting their lives to Rouyu Company.

Coupled with the cooperation with Roupai in software systems, Zhou Zhen finally decided to support the development of Berry with supply chain manufacturers.

Although Berry is the manufacturer with the worst market and position among chip partners, it has placed the most orders on chips.

Three million Sky Xuan 800 processor chips.

One million Sky Xuan 900 processor chips.

Of course, in order to thank the Berry Clan for their support to the Soft Feather Department these times, Zhou Zhen also gave the Berry Clan certain discounts.

The original ordinary 4G version of the Tianxuan chip needs to be upgraded to the 5G version, which costs an extra 150 yuan.

And Zhou Zhen directly chose to reduce Tianxuan by 100 yuan, and only needed to spend 50 yuan to upgrade the 4G chip to the 5G chip.

At the same time, Zhou Zhen also said that Yuzhen Semiconductor will also actively cooperate with the current Berry Company to polish and optimize the new Tianxuan processor chip.

This also made the berry family very excited, and the two sides have reached a deep cooperative relationship in the real sense.

The other blue factory and green factory are also manufacturers that Rouyu company has close cooperation with.

As an early cooperative company with Rouyu, Lanchang has always been determined to cooperate with Rouyu.

During that period of 18 years, when Sansang screen struck, when rice, as a shareholder of Rouyu Company, resolutely gave up Rouyu and joined Sansang, the blue factory still maintained a certain number of orders for Rouyu screen, and it was also a very cooperative partner.

As for the green factory, it should be among the four major mobile phone manufacturers, and the last mobile phone manufacturer to reach cooperation with Rouyu Company.

Even in the second half of 18 years, there was not much intersection between Rouyu and Green Factory.

However, after the end of 18 years, the green factory began to cooperate with Royole in depth, and even the most willing to spend money on top screens and custom screens among the current manufacturers.

OnePlus 6T's custom R3 screen.

OnePlus 7 Pro's top-of-the-line R4 material display.

The top-of-the-line R3 material screen on the first-generation Find X.

Although it is the latest mobile phone manufacturer to cooperate, it is also the manufacturer with the closest relationship between the partners of Rouyu Company except for the chrysanthemum factory.

And these two manufacturers are really brother manufacturers, and they have no interest in the so-called five-G module.

At the same time, the two manufacturers are also among the top 10 international manufacturers in the world, and there will be more diversified considerations in the selection of supply chains.

The blue factory customized two million Tianxuan 800 processor chips.

And the green factory is also considered to be wealthy, and directly customized two million Tianxuan 900 processor chips and two million Tianxuan 800 processor chips.

Of course, this time of cooperation, Zhou Zhen still requires the partner to pay a 60% deposit for the order in advance.

A 60% deposit can guarantee the basic cost of production and R&D investment, and at the same time at least get a certain amount of income.

With the production of chips after tape-out, the more production is often produced, the lower the cost.

And this time, if the chip orders for cooperation with several manufacturers are handed over to TSMC for production, the average cost of each chip is about 250 yuan.

Of course, the so-called 250 yuan is the hardware production cost that abandons the so-called R&D and patent licensing fees (communication, ARM, Bluetooth protocol licensing fees, etc.).

Now, allowing the partner to pay 60% of the order deposit can be regarded as Yuzhen Semiconductor's cooperation can return to the cost in advance, and obtain certain benefits, so that the next chip research and development can begin.

In mid-July, Arm officially unveiled the new A77 and G77 architectures.

The improvement of this generation's new architecture is still relatively obvious, and Yuzhen Semiconductor has also been invited by Arm.

But there is another meaning to the invitation.

"Brother, my new architecture has come out, do you want to make the next generation of chips more awesome, hurry up and recharge!"

Indeed, ARM, as the world's most well-known semiconductor design company, can make money lying down with its current architecture design and instruction set alone.

Yuzhen Semiconductor is not particularly interested in ARM's A77 architecture.

After all, Yuzhen Semiconductor's current magic modification of A76 has been able to make this core, and the overall performance and power consumption performance are not weaker than the A77 core architecture.

A76 can be further magically modified!

After consideration, Zhou Zhen finally decided to abandon the A77 architecture.

After all, compared with the upgrade of the A77 architecture, the A77 architecture is just a regular upgrade, and even the A77 architecture has always been considered by users to be A76+.

Yuzhen Semiconductor intends to make a deeper magic change to the core architecture of A76.

Strive to improve the performance of this version of the magic change by at least about 10% compared to the previous version of the magic change.

At the same time, Yuzhen Semiconductor has also begun to formally design processor chips for next year and 2020.

2020 can be said to be a year of fairy fights.

2019 can be said to be the first year of 5G, and 2020 is the year of the big iteration of the Android camp.

Especially in terms of processor chips, HiSilicon, Paste Tong, and MediaTek can be said to have their own magical powers.

In the mid-range, the Dimensity 800 series, the Fire Dragon 765 series, the Kirin 820, and the Kirin 985 (this should be considered the mid-to-high-end) are three-legged.

In the high-end market, the Kirin 990 and Fire Dragon 865 competed for supremacy, and the Dimensity 1000+ disrupted the entire market halfway.

At the end of the year, there are fruits into 5G and Kirin's swan song.

It can be said that 2020 is the best year for Android to develop from 2016 to 2022, and even gave many users the illusion that Android can surpass the fruit.

Of course, in the next time, Yuzhen Semiconductor will develop a new processor chip.

In terms of processor CPU, the latest version of the A76 core will be used, while in terms of GPU, the company's newly developed H12 core GPU architecture will be considered.

And this time, in terms of processor chip design, the original external 5G baseband chip will be officially designed into an integrated 5G baseband, so that the power consumption of the processor chip can be further reduced.
