Chapter 17: The chip market is about to change
Xia Xin International's actions are very fast, and Ye Fei's actions are also very fast.
On the same day, after Qu Guangfu, chairman of Xia Xin International, finished talking about things with Ye Fei, Qu Guangfu sent someone to discuss cooperation with Ye Fei on the second day.
Ye Fei found someone from the Yuan Blockchain Research Institute to talk about cooperation with people from Xia Xin International.
After half a month of negotiations.
In the end, it was determined that Ye Fei's research was taken out separately from Xia Xin International, with Xia Xin International accounting for 70% of the shares and Ye Fei Scientific Research Institute accounting for 30% of the shares.
And all the costs of chip R&D, operation and sales are all invested by Xiaxin International.
Of course, the directors of Xiaxin International are not satisfied with this plan.
What they want is to give Ye Fei billions and let him help develop chips.
Instead of letting Ye Fei take the shares.
After all, that's a chip.
If the kind of chip Ye Fei said is developed, it will completely rewrite the chip market and make more than $70 billion a year.
And if Ye Fei Scientific Research Institute accounts for 30% of the shares, it will take more than 20 billion US dollars every year.
A one-time billions and give more than two billion dollars a year.
Anyone can figure out which is more cost-effective.
Qu Guangfu is a person with a great view of the overall situation, and he said on the board of directors: "Now it is not Ye Fei who asks for us, but we who ask for Ye Fei. ”
"The market is on Ye Fei's side, we can not agree, but Ye Fei can also help other chip companies."
"You must know that Xia Guo is not only a chip company called Xia Xin International, but also many other chip companies."
"At that time, Ye Fei will still be able to gain so many benefits, and we will lose at least more than $50 billion a year."
Xiaxin International's annual net profit is now more than 10 billion US dollars.
Hearing Qu Guangfu's words, the directors felt a pang in their hearts, and said in their hearts: "Yes, the market is on Ye Fei's side, we don't agree to Ye Fei, and Ye Fei can also agree to other companies." ”
"With a loss of more than $20 billion and a loss of more than $50 billion a year, you don't need to look at this account to know how to choose."
In the end, the board of directors agreed to Ye Feina's request.
Ye Fei was very satisfied with this condition.
In fact, to his current status, it doesn't matter if he has money or not.
After all, he is not short of money.
However, money can represent many things.
For example, the recognition of his personal worth.
On November 15, 2029, on Ye Fei's 28th birthday, Xia Xin International and Ye Fei Scientific Research Institute jointly issued a statement.
Xia Xin International: [Welcome Academician Ye Fei to become the chief scientist of Xia Xin International.] 】
Ye Fei Research Institute: [Congratulations to Academician Ye Fei for becoming the chief scientist of Xia Xin International. 】
When these two pieces of news were released, there was a global uproar.
They know that Ye Fei becoming the chief scientist of Xia Xin International is not just about becoming the chief scientist, and the meaning of what it represents is understood by fools.
It must be Ye Fei who is going to develop chips.
Many reporters are like cats that smell fishy, and they have flocked to Xiaxin International and Yuan Blockchain Research Institute.
Meta Blockchain Research Institute!
In the evening, Ye Fei walked out of the Meta Blockchain Research Institute and prepared to walk home.
The Meta Blockchain Research Institute is only ten minutes away from his home, and Ye Fei almost all of them commute on foot.
While walking, he can also think about research.
Ye Fei walked slowly towards home, and said in his heart: "Snevily's conjecture is studying set theory, graph theory, and number theory. ”
"It is one of the most rapidly developing fields in combinatorics of extreme set theory, one of the core studies of graph theory, and one of the most cutting-edge studies of number theory."
"I don't have a problem with set theory, and I don't have a big problem with number theory, but there are still some deficiencies in graph theory."
Ye Fei has studied set theory since he was a graduate student, and many of the world's problems of set theory have been proved by Ye Fei.
And number theory is Ye Fei has been researching since graduating from his doctorate, and it has been four or five years now, and he has no big problems.
There is only graph theory, and he has not studied it for very long.
"Next, we should take a good look at graph theory."
When Ye Fei just walked out of the gate of the research institute, a group of reporters suddenly surrounded him.
"Academician Ye Fei, did you join Xiaxin International to develop chips?"
"Academician Ye Fei, what kind of chip do you want to develop?"
"Academician Ye Fei, when will your chip be developed?"
"Academician Ye Fei, can you tell me?"
"Academician Ye Fei......"
The security guard at the door saw that Ye Fei was surrounded by reporters, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the reporters.
Ye Fei quickly broke free from the crowd, and then ran into the Meta Blockchain Research Institute.
The security guards firmly stopped the reporter outside the Meta Blockchain Research Institute.
Ye Fei looked at the reporters who were stopped outside the gate, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He shook his head and said helplessly: "These reporters are really ......."
After speaking, Ye Fei went home through the back door.
Magic City, Xia Xin International, Chairman's Office!
"Qu Dong!" The assistant walked in from outside and said, "There are a group of reporters from outside the company, and they want to interview you." ”
Qu Guangfu, who was signing the contract, heard this, stopped the pen in his hand, looked up at the assistant and frowned slightly.
The assistant saw Qu Guangfu frowning, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to drive them out?" ”
Qu Guangfu thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute." ”
After speaking, he picked up the phone and called Ye Fei and said, "Academician Ye, you have become the chief scientist of Xia Xin Country, and there is a lot of commotion outside, are we going to have a press conference?" ”
"Okay, I got it."
After hanging up the phone, Qu Guangfu said to his assistant: "I told those reporters that at two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, a press conference will be held in the company's southeast press room. ”
"Okay, Qu Dong!"
The assistant finished speaking and left.
The day after tomorrow!
Ye Fei drove to the magic capital at eleven o'clock, and had lunch in the service area in the middle.
Around 1:30 p.m. to Xiaxin International.
"Academician Ye!" Qu Guangfu greeted Ye Fei with a group of people: "Hello! ”
Many people looked at Ye Fei curiously, they were the first time they had seen Ye Fei in reality.
Ye Fei shook hands with Qu Guangfu with a smile and said, "Qu Dong, hello! ”
"Let's go!" Qu Guangfu said: "The reporter has come. ”
"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded.
At this moment, there are many reporters sitting in the southeast press conference hall of Xia Xin International.
The fact that Ye Fei became the chief scientist of Xia Xin International was so shocking that countless people seemed to smell a smell before the storm.
An English reporter said to his companion next to him: "Judging from Ye Fei's past development history, Ye Fei will definitely be able to develop a chip that shocks the world when he joins Xia Xin International." ”
"At that time, Beili Kingdom will not be able to sit still."
"Chips have always been the cake of Beili Kingdom, and if anyone dares to touch their cake, Beili Kingdom will be desperate."
The companion nodded and said, "Yes, I think Beili Guo can't sit still at the moment." ”
"I don't know what chip Ye Fei can develop!"
Not only were the two talking, but many of them were talking.
Soon, Ye Fei and the others walked into the lecture hall and sat on the stage.
Qu Guangfu said: "Fellow journalists, good afternoon, I am glad that you are here to attend today's press conference. ”
"I know that you are all very concerned about Academician Ye Fei becoming the chief scientist of Xia Xin International."
"Xiaxin International has always adhered to the ......"
Qu Guangfu said a lot.
"Next, I would like to invite Academician Ye Fei to speak."
Ye Feidao: "I am very happy to become the chief scientist of Xiaxin International, and I will lead the team of Xiaxin International to research chips. ”
As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, the reporters below exclaimed.
Ye Fei really wants to develop chips!
Ye Feidao: "Regarding the research of chips, my idea is to give up silicon-based chips and change lanes to take the road of carbon-based chips. ”
"If Xia Guo wants to catch up with the international level in chips, he must change lanes to overtake, not overtake in corners."
"In carbon-based chips, China has two major advantages that no country has gained."
"1. It has the purest graphene in the world!"
"Second, the only country that can mass-produce carbon nanotubes!"
"As we all know, to make carbon-based chips, you must have high-purity graphene and carbon nanotubes."
"Otherwise, you can't make carbon-based chips."
"Therefore, on the track of carbon-based chips, Xia Guo is the only one that can enter."
"Moreover, the development space of carbon-based chips is much better than that of silicon-based chips."
"Silicon-based chips can only make nano-scale chips, while carbon-based chips can not only make nano-scale chips, but also angstrom-level chips."
"The future is the era of quantum computers, and quantum computers must have Angstrom-level chips, otherwise they cannot be built."
"Because of all this, I decided to develop carbon-based chips."
As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, many reporters below were discussing.
The CCTV reporter said to his companion next to him: "Ye Fei is right, my country is the only one qualified to develop carbon-based chips." ”
"Moreover, in silicon-based chips, China is unable to catch up with the international level."
"Then, only by changing lanes and overtaking can my country catch up with the international level."
The companion nodded: "That's right, and, in the long run, carbon-based chips are much better than silicon-based chips." ”
The CCTV reporter nodded: "Yes!" ”
The reporter from Beili Country said to his companion in a little panic: "Something big is going to happen, Ye Fei advocates the development of carbon-based chips, except for Xia and other countries in the world, no country can have the conditions to develop carbon-based chips." ”
"If he develops it, something big will happen."
The companion touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Who would have thought that this would happen, we always thought that Xia would develop silicon-based chips to catch up with us." ”
"But now Xia Guo is no longer playing with us, and he is going to change lanes."
The English reporter smiled at his companion next to him: "Some of them are playing now, Xia Guo does not develop silicon-based chips, but develops carbon-based chips." ”
"Although Beili also has high-purity graphene, they can't mass-produce carbon nanotubes!"
The English reporter did not panic at all, anyway, the global chip market has always been the final say of Beili Guo.
Even if Xia Guo develops carbon-based chips, it is Beili that is most affected.
and England do not have a big impact, and maybe even some benefits.
After all, in the past, chips were said by Beili Kingdom, but if suddenly Xia Guo suddenly emerged in the chip market.
Then the chip is no longer monopolized by Beili alone.
The two countries may be fighting a price war over chips.
Qu Guangfu said: "The following is the question session! ”
In an instant, countless people below raised their hands, and Qu Guangfu first clicked on the CCTV reporter.
The CCTV reporter stood up and said: "Hello Academician Ye Fei, I am a CCTV reporter, we all know that you are studying mathematics, and later studying materials, in the field of materials science, you discovered C72 fullerene, and developed C72 carbon nanotubes and high-purity graphene through C72 fullerene. ”
"Later, mass production of C72 carbon nanotubes and C60 carbon nanotubes was developed."
"Now we are starting to develop carbon-based chips again."
"From this step by step, did you have a premeditated plan for the development of carbon-based chips?"
Everyone was shocked to find that it seemed that Ye Fei had come all the way, step by step.
From the mathematical research and development of materials, C72 fullerene was found in materials, and C72 carbon nanotubes and high-purity graphene were developed through C72 fullerene.
After mass manufacturing of carbon nanotubes, the chip is developed.
Because carbon nanotubes are mass-manufactured, they change lanes and overtake to develop carbon-based chips.
Many people reacted, gasping in their hearts and looking at Ye Fei in shock.
Such a profound layout, from the very beginning, Ye Fei stared at carbon-based chips.
Moreover, Ye Fei is really bold, how can he be sure that he can discover C72 fullerene and develop a batch manufacturing method of C72 carbon nanotubes, high-purity graphene and carbon nanotubes.
If one of these links cannot be successfully studied, is it not a waste of previous efforts?
At this moment, Ye Fei's image was immediately different in the eyes of everyone.
No longer a scholar, but a daring scholar.
Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said funny: "This reporter friend is really joking, the reason why I discovered C72 fullerene and developed the batch manufacturing method of C72 carbon nanotubes, high-purity graphene and carbon nanotubes is completely coincidental." ”
Everyone laughed in their hearts, you are a coincidence, it is too coincidental.
One person finishes the entire production chain in the early stage of carbon-based chips.
Qu Guangfu laughed and said: "This reporter friend is indeed too good at joking, that, next." ”
Qu Guangfu also doubted in his heart whether Ye Fei had been staring at carbon-based chips for a long time.
Even if he doesn't go to Ye Fei, Ye Fei will soon develop carbon-based chips.
And went by himself, but the two met by coincidence.
The English reporter stood up and said, "Academician Ye Fei, how long can you develop a carbon-based chip?" Which chip to start with? ”
Ye Feidao: "I can't predict the time, I was the first to develop a 12nm chip. ”
"Sure enough!" A lot of people have their hearts.
12nm chips are the most widely used chips.
If Xia Guo can mass-produce high-quality 12nm carbon-based chips.
Then, it will occupy a dominant position in the chip market.
Qu Guangfu said: "Next! ”
"Academician Ye Fei, may I ask the carbon-based chip, is the lithography machine used or the lithography machine made in the Netherlands? Can it be used on carbon-based chips? ”
"Of course!" Ye Feidao: "The quality of the Dutch lithography machine is very good, it can be used for carbon-based chips, and we will still use the Dutch lithography machine." ”
Of course, Ye Fei would not tell the truth.
If I were to say at this time, I wouldn't use a Dutch lithography machine.
Well, there will definitely be an opinion on the Dutch side.
For the time being, the country still needs Dutch lithography machines, and will not use Dutch lithography machines until it develops its own lithography machines that can manufacture high-quality chips.
Qu Guangfu said: "Next! ”
"Academician Ye Fei, will you develop lithography machines, ion implanters, reactive ion etching machines and wafer dicing machines?"
Ye Fei nodded and said: "Of course, I think that the people who develop chips will develop these machines!" ”
Qu Guangfu said: "Next! ”
"Academician Ye Fei......"
It was not until a long time that the press conference ended.
The news spread outside and shocked the world.
Everyone knows that the chip market is about to change.
Ye Fei actually wanted to change lanes and overtake to develop carbon-based chips.
This is something that no one expected.
From the current point of view, only Xia Guo can develop carbon-based chips, and no other countries can develop them.
When the people of Xia heard the news, they were crazy with joy.
If someone else were to develop a chip, they would think it wouldn't work.
But who Ye Fei is, there is no technology that he has developed unsuccessfully.
Therefore, they are full of confidence in Ye Fei and think that he has a high chance of developing a chip.
[Damn, Ye Fei is finally going to make a move on the chip, I'm so excited. 】
[Other countries are still playing with silicon-based chips, since we can't compare with you, we won't play with you, and directly engage in carbon-based chips. 】
[Ye Fei is still smart, that's right, overtaking in corners can't compare to you, let's change lanes and overtake. 】
[I think Ye Fei is really long-term, he has been developing carbon-based chips many years ago. 】
【……】
Pengcheng, Huawei, Chairman's Office!
"Actually developing carbon-based chips?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ren Dong's eyes.
Then he said happily: "Okay, yes, carbon-based chips are very beneficial to our mobile phone industry." ”
Carbon-based chips made from graphene and carbon nanotubes are much smaller than silicon-based chips.
The smaller the chip, it can be more suitable for mobile phones.
After all, mobile phones are only the size of a palm.
In the future, watch-sized phones may also appear.
At this time, smaller chips are even more needed.
Ren Dong said: "I hope the research and development will be successful!" ”
"This may be our only chance, and if we don't take this opportunity, we don't know when the next one will be."
Beili Country, in the conference room!
Boe looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Ye Fei is making trouble again, this time he is attacking the chip, you should have heard about it!" ”
Everyone nodded.
Boy said: "We must stop him, chips are our foundation, and we must not lose our country's hegemony in chips." ”
Someone asked, "How to stop it?" ”
Boi said: "According to the requirements above. ”
"1. Restrict the export of chips to Xia Kingdom."
"Second, no more chip manufacturing machines will be sold to Xia Guo."
"Third, chip materials are no longer sold to Xia country."
Bei Liguo's trick is very good, so that Xia Guo can't make a chip.
At the same time, the number of chips sold to Xia Guo is restricted.
Soon, there will be a shortage of heart in the Xia Kingdom.
Boye said: "Unless Ye Fei stops developing chips, this strategy will continue." ”
The crowd nodded in agreement.
At this moment, when it comes to life and death, if Xia Guo develops a chip, then the loss of Beili Kingdom will be broken, and its status will be greatly affected in the world.
Xia Guo, Department of Science and Technology!
After reading the document, Geng Ye clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "Beili Kingdom is really shameless, do you think this can force us not to develop chips?" ”
"Long-term pain is better than short-term pain, it's a big deal that we shrink our clothes and diet across the country, and we also have to develop our own chips."
"As one of the world's great powers, Xia is the world's largest consumer of chips."
"But without their own chips, isn't it a joke!"
Geng Ye picked up the phone and called, "Academician Ye Fei, I heard about your research and development of carbon-based chips. ”
"If you have any difficulties, you can call me, and the state will fully support you."
"Also, don't worry about the affairs of Beili Kingdom, we must develop our own chips."
With that, hang up.
