At half past one, Su Yuanshan woke up on time.

Yuanxin now implements a system of 9 to 6, with a 2-hour break in the middle and 7 hours of actual work. Now the weekend has not yet been implemented, and it belongs to the natural 966.

Yang Yiwen and Sun Xihui, a royal sister and a mature woman, slept soundly on the sofa, and the towel was also half pulled off. Looking at their sleeping position, it is indeed not suitable for resting in an adult's office, only for themselves, a "minor".

Su Yuanshan got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he came back, he opened the folder, took out a fax and fell into deep thought.

This fax was forwarded from SZ by Pan Xiaojun.

The letterhead unit is UMC Corporation, also known as UMC, the first semiconductor company established on the island in the 80s, and now has five branches. In front of it, TSMC, which is now bent on professional foundry, is a younger brother. After that, TSMC relied on the advantage of concentrating on foundry to grow rapidly, and soon formed a dragon and tiger fight. Later, a fire caused UMC to lose its vitality, not to mention the loss of factories, and tens of billions of Taiwan dollars came to naught, forcing UMC's five factories to recover and revitalize.

Unexpectedly, bad luck struck again soon, UMC listened to IBM's nonsense, and together with Infineon, which was independent from Siemens, a tripartite team to tackle the 0.13 micron process at that time - what else can the three parties do except fight the landlord? So TSMC preemptively developed 0.13 microns, and since then it has lost the high-end market.

In the new millennium, Zhang Rujing, the godfather of domestic semiconductors (here he uses his real name to show respect), returned to Shanghai, built the most advanced wafer factory in China in only two years, and quickly encroached on the low-end market, and even became the world's third largest foundry for a time. Since then, although UMC has been aggressive, it has been overshadowed by TSMC after all.

UMC's fax requesting the purchase of Yuanxin EDA and requesting technical support was in front of me - to request technical support, it was necessary to send someone to the factory, to put it bluntly, UMC was like a torch, and chose to cooperate with Yuanxin in depth at the first time.

If Yuanxin is just a company focusing on EDA, it can fly happily in the face of the invitation of this semiconductor giant.

However, at this time, UMC had not yet transformed into a professional foundry and still maintained a chip design business. With the "XX consensus" reached next year, the country will open up a large number of markets to the opposite side. In other words, the current UMC wafer fab, which can both design and produce, will be the most direct opponent of Yuanxin in the next few years.

After all, Yuanxin is not a company that only sells EDA, and in the next few years, Yuanxin's main profit direction is still based on chip design and derivative fields.

Pursing his lips, Su Yuanshan took a deep breath, and finally signed his name, and asked Pan Xiaojun to invite UMC representatives to make an appointment to meet in Xiangjiang, and at the same time let Pan Xiaojun and Wang Dynasty contact Xin, and the second-generation factory chose UMC.

Huajing's production capacity is not enough to meet the demand for pager chips - you know, after the opening of private stations, the number of pager users will increase by nearly 3 million next year, which is twice the sum of previous years. If the chips with independent property rights of Yuanxin can't even sell a million pieces, then don't play.

Similarly, if Yuanxin is afraid of UMC, the scum of the IC design industry, then don't play it.

At this time, the two people on the side also woke up. Yang Yiwen rubbed her eyes, looked at the time, walked to Su Yuanshan's desk, pulled a note, and said while writing: "When will you recruit two subordinates for me?" Now I have to do everything myself. ”

"Now we are looking for people who are proficient in English and who understand foreign trade and patent law...... Where do you want me to find it?" Su Yuanshan spread his hands and handed the fax document to Sun Xihui and asked her to pass it to Pan Xiaojun.

"Why don't you and Senior Brother Tang get married first. Su Yuanshan stared at Yang Yiwen and quipped: "I have to trap you in the company first, lest you run away unhappily, I can only catch blind." ”

“...... Less, quick money. ”

After Su Yuanshan finished signing, he gave himself a glass of water and returned to the computer.

At noon, Qin Weimin said that he was resting, but in fact, he was still sorting out the information, and he said that he had a good idea at noon, and now that noon has passed, Qin Weimin has written his ideas on the document and transmitted them through the local area network.

This is an idea about caching, and Su Yuanshan just took a brief look at it and felt that it didn't make much sense - there were too many ideas about the new architecture recently, and he was a little numb to it. But when he saw the end, he was suddenly stunned, and after a moment he slapped the table!

"Senior brother is really awesome!"

Su Yuanshan suppressed his excitement and strode towards the workshop.

At this time, Qin Weimin was using telechip EDA to design registers and corresponding instructions in order to bypass existing patents.

*

"Senior brother, these instructions combine with a stroke of genius! It can greatly reduce the time it takes to read the cache. Su Yuanshan approached Qin Weimin and shook his shoulder and said loudly.

Qin Weimin turned his head and was stunned for a moment: "Is there one?"

"Yes, as long as we apply for this patent, no CPU that imitates ARM architecture can bypass it!" The reason why Su Yuanshan said so definitely is because in the continuous improvement of the ARM architecture in later generations, there is also a patent similar to Intel338, but because ARM is the kind of unlimited authorization, no one has come to hit its patent, so it is not famous.

"Senior brother is amazing!" Su Yuanshan praised again. At this moment, he even wanted to personally intervene in Qin Weimin's design, and directly launched the first chip architecture on the market in a month or two.

However, reason immediately told him that he couldn't help the seedlings, Qin Weimin himself has a talent for chip design, especially architecture. I took him carefully for so long, not to let Qin Weimin look at himself in confusion and applaud himself - Qin Weimin will be the chief architect of mobile phone SOC in the future!

He can guide Qin Weimin not to take detours, but he must not overstep his bounds.

After Su Yuanshan briefly described the consequences of a few instructions, Qin Weimin immediately switched to ARM's patented instruction set for simulation, and soon he also came to the conclusion that if you want to use ARM's instruction set to complete a cache-like read and write operation, you must indeed use your own instructions.

"So do you apply for a patent now, international or domestic?"

"You can't apply yet, you have to complete our instruction set before you can apply together. Su Yuanshan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, but he couldn't hide his smile.

Patent barriers are important, but the most important thing is that Qin Weimin has grown up.
