It's not?
It's not?!
Wang Zhengfei was stunned by Lu Zhou's "not", and he didn't know how to react.
Lu Zhou looked at the disappointment on CEO Wang's face. He took another sip of tea and said in a serious manner, "Graphene tubes aren't my research direction. Someone else solved this technical problem. I only solved some problems with the Mott insulator in graphene, which is a small theoretical contribution. "
After all, the discovery of the Mott insulator and the theoretical calculations involved played a decisive role in the discovery of graphene.
Therefore, a small contribution was definitely an exaggeration …
It was more like a medium contribution.
However, the graphene transistor was indeed Professor Wu's contribution. Even though Lu Zhou, as the project leader, had the right to claim credit for his work, he still didn't want to do this.
Wang Zhengfei looked at Lu Zhou with a muddled expression.
After a while, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's right.
"Sorry … I don't understand what you mean by insulator … Is it related to the carbon-based transistor?
Lu Zhou was too lazy to explain. He guessed that Chen Zhao wasn't interested, so he just nodded.
"Sort of."
In an instant, Wang Zhengfei's gaze became fervent again.
It didn't matter who invented the technology. Even if he knew who invented it, he wouldn't risk the price of lithium batteries to poach Lu Zhou. Not to mention that the most important patent was obviously in the hands of Lu Zhou at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
That's right, compared to the academic world where theses were king, for the industry, patents were the key!
Whoever held the patent or formed an alliance with the company that held the patent would be the father of the industry.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhengfei raised the teacup in his hand in awe.
"Academician Lu, on behalf of my colleagues in the China semiconductor industry, I must thank you! This cup of tea is for you! "
Looking at the cup of tea, Lu Zhou was stunned.
It was not that Mr. Wang was flattering him. Of course, he knew how awesome his skills were.
However …
This flattery caught him off guard.
"CEO Wang, you're too kind." Lu Zhou coughed and raised his teacup. He then said, "The breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology is inseparable from the hard work of all the researchers in the project team … Also, didn't we agree to talk business?"
"Haha, I can't help it, I can't help it." Wang Zhengfei scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. He pretended to be confused and said with a smile, "Then let's go back to business."
Although Lu Zhou knew that he was faking it, he didn't expose him.
After a pause, he continued.
"I believe I don't have to explain the importance of carbon-based chips to the semiconductor industry. Not to mention, this is our best choice in the semiconductor field. If everything goes according to plan, graphene will be the next policy after lithium-sulfur batteries. There should have been a meeting in Beijing a while ago on how to develop the carbon-based semiconductor industry. I believe the National Development and Reform Commission has already made their plans. "
Wang Zhengfei looked at Lu Zhou with surprise.
"… You already know?"
Lu Zhou took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and spoke casually.
"I was the one who proposed the fifth semiconductor chip industry cluster."
Of course, as for the implementation of centralized management and orderly entry into the market, these were all decisions made by the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Administration for National Defense, and other departments.
After all, the domestic capital industry did not give them a good impression. It had become a habit for them to swarm up and disperse in a hubbub. Either the winner takes all, or they lose everything. There were too many similar examples to mention.
Carbon-based chips were related to the future of China's semiconductor industry. The higher-ups obviously wouldn't allow this industry to be destroyed.
Even though Lu Zhou spoke casually, Wang Zhengfei was shocked when he heard this.
In the past, he had only heard of Professor Lu in the academic community. Not only was Professor Lu an internationally renowned Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winner, but he was also a "university tyrant" in the Chinese academic community. Even the Communist Party of China listened to his advice.
However, he didn't expect Lu Zhou to be this powerful …
A semiconductor industry cluster …
Not only did this mean hundreds of millions of yuan in investment and financial allocations, but it also meant hundreds of thousands of jobs! Especially for labor-intensive enterprises like the semiconductor industry, such a huge piece of cake would be enough for everyone to fight over!
Wang Zhengfei really wanted to ask where this cluster was located, but he didn't dare to ask.
What's the point of asking?
Get a few pieces of land there?
Who would dare to do that?
They're tired of living!
It's better not to ask, at least I feel better.
Lu Zhou paused for a second before he spoke.
"CEO Wang, you probably want to talk to me about carbon-based chips."
"Exactly." Wang Zhengfei nodded and said, "You have strong research and development capabilities, and our industrialization capabilities in the semiconductor and electronics industry are obvious to the entire world. I hope to cooperate with you in the research and development and production of carbon-based chips. This is a win-win situation for both of us. "
Lu Zhou nodded and spoke.
"I agree with what you said, but in my opinion, President Wang doesn't seem to understand what graphene chips mean."
Wang Zhengfei didn't take Lu Zhou's words to heart. He smiled and said, "Oh? Why do you say that? "
It was impossible for him not to know.
He really didn't know much about mathematics.
However, regarding the graphene chip, he had specially invited experts in this field to consult all the possible issues. He couldn't compare to professionals, but as an entrepreneur, he was more than qualified.
However, just as he said that confidently, Lu Zhou completely shattered his confidence.
"Carbon-based transistors aren't just used to make carbon-based chips. Have you heard of Majorana fermions?"
"… Majorana fermions?"
Lu Zhou nodded.
"Yes, it's a very unique type of fermion. Its antiparticle is itself. Doesn't that sound interesting?"
Even though Lu Zhou didn't understand what Lu Zhou was talking about, he still pretended to be interested.
Forcing a smile, Wang Zhengfei continued.
"It is interesting … What's its position on the periodic table?"
"It's a bit difficult to find it on the periodic table." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Usually, it only exists in superconductors in the form of quasiparticle excitations, and it is common in non-Abelian bound states."
Wang Zhengfei: "???"
What the hell?
He was even beginning to suspect that this fellow was making fun of him.
Lu Zhou saw that CEO Wang seemed to be completely dumbfounded. He knew that even if he continued to speak, CEO Wang probably wouldn't understand. He had to pretend to be interested as it would be too difficult for CEO Wang.
Lu Zhou shook his head and sighed. He took a sip of tea and spoke.
"I know you're not interested, I understand."
He paused for a second and spoke.
"Not interested in Majorana fermions … What about quantum computers?"
Wang Zhengfei: "…?!"
Quantum computer!!!
When Wang Zhengfei heard this word come out of Lu Zhou's mouth, he almost held his breath.
His face was full of excitement. He stared at Lu Zhou with a fiery gaze and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Quantum computer … What are you talking about? The kind of … quantum computer? "
"I don't know what kind of quantum computer you're talking about, but the quantum computer I'm talking about is called a topological quantum computer. Microsoft seems to be doing research on it, but unfortunately, even though they have made some progress in the algorithm theory, they haven't found any suitable materials. "
The second Wang Zhengfei heard this, he suddenly realized what was going on.
It didn't matter what kind of horses, particles, or non-Abelian bound states …
When Lu Zhou said this, all of the clues seemed to be focused on one point!
"That material, could it be …"
Lu Zhou looked at him.
Wang Zhengfei subconsciously stopped talking.
At this moment, he finally understood.
Why did the Communist Party of China attach so much importance to this matter? Why did the Communist Party of China treat this matter so seriously? Why did the Communist Party of China spend so much money to establish the fifth largest semiconductor industry cluster? Why did the Communist Party of China centralize and close the entire industry cluster?
"Graphene is the most suitable material … Maybe not before, but now it is. Zero-energy Majorana fermions will be formed in the vortex core region of the interface between the three-dimensional topological insulator and the superconductor. The existence of Majorana fermions will create the possibility of building topological qubits.
"If we can master carbon-based chips, we won't just create a new era of the semiconductor industry. We will create two eras and bring our civilization into the future."
Lu Zhou took a sip of tea and looked at him.
"Do you want to cooperate?"
The excitement on Wang Zhengfei's face gradually disappeared when he heard Lu Zhou's offer. Instead, he went silent.
He already knew what was going on.
Lu Zhou didn't talk to him about academic stuff just to show off … At least not completely. Instead, he placed all of the chips that had an overwhelming advantage on the table and asked him what he wanted to exchange for them.
If Lu Zhou spoke first, he would lose.
But …
He couldn't refuse the things that Lu Zhou offered.
At least, he couldn't give them to his competitors.
Wang Zhengfei clenched and unclenched his fists. He took a deep breath and his shoulders suddenly relaxed.
He regained the warm smile on his face, gave up the initiative, and asked.
"What do you want?"
Lu Zhou had an absolute advantage, so it didn't matter who had the upper hand.
Even if Lu Zhou wanted to invest in Huawei, Lu Zhou would seriously consider it.
As long as it didn't affect his authority on the board of directors …
Fortunately, Lu Zhou didn't show much interest in Huawei.
However, Academician Lu's next request made things even more difficult for Lu Zhou.
"I want HiSilicon."
