However, when it came to chips, Chen Yu was thinking about the future of chips.
There were many types of chips. There were chips for computers, mobile phones, electronic products, and large servers.
It could be said that almost any electronic product needed a chip.
At this time, the most familiar computer chip was the CPU. In Chinese, it was known as the central processing unit.
Everyone in the country dreamed of having a chip. They dreamed of having a China chip.
Unfortunately, China did not have a China chip because of its late start.
For this reason, the country specially invested a lot of money to support relevant organizations, hoping to produce one.
However, after decades of hard work, the computer chip did not have much development.
There were even disgusting counterfeits in the field of chips.
A professor named Chen Jun took a Motorola chip and found a worker to erase the Motorola logo with gauze paper. Just like this, he successfully fooled countless people with this chip. If it was not exposed later, this scam would have continued for a few years.
However, Chen Yu was not interested in the computer CPU.
The first reason was that it could not be done in the country in the next ten years.
This was not only because of the technology, but also because of Microsoft.
Even if you had the technology to create your own computer CPU, if it was not compatible with Microsoft operating system, it would be useless.
The second reason was that the future world was changing very quickly.
The computer CPU was the center of the world, but in the blink of an eye, it would become a peripheral product.
Chen Yu was interested in mobile phone chips.
In fact, mobile phones were the focus of the future development of chips.
The famous Intel, AMD, and other chip giants might not be known.
There was no need for 10 years. In just a few years, mobile phone chips would be able to challenge their position.
Many years later, the public would not even know about Intel and AMD.
In their eyes, Qualcomm, MediaTek, HiSilicon … were the representatives of chips.
However, when it came to Qualcomm, MediaTek, and HiSilicon, they did not completely have their own chips.
These chips all came from ARM.
ARM did not produce their own chips. Their main model was to provide chip designs to major mobile phone manufacturers around the world.
Other mobile phone manufacturers developed their own chips under the authorization of ARM.
Basically, it could be said that although the chip looked like it could be developed by himself, the technology still belonged to someone else.
Once ARM stopped authorizing a company, a crisis would arise.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu began to study ARM.
Arm was a chip design company founded in 1991. It was co-founded by Apple, Nokia, and Acorn. Of course, ARM used to be like Intel, designing and manufacturing their own chips. However, due to the low volume and low performance, ARM made a far-reaching decision. They would not produce the chips themselves. They would only license the chip design to other companies and let them produce it.
It was this decision.
Only then did ARM chips blossom everywhere and become the target of cooperation for countless manufacturers.
"Ah, my head hurts."
After studying it for a while, Chen Yu felt a little dizzy.
Even Huawei, which was as strong as it was in his previous life, was still restricted by foreign countries when it came to chips.
"Why don't we acquire Arm?"
The current ARM was far from the ARM of the future.
Smartphones hadn't exploded yet, and ARM's profits weren't that great.
At the same time, even ARM didn't know how powerful they were.
If you paid a sum of money, you could acquire them.
But after thinking about it for a while, Chen Yu felt that it was impossible.
It wasn't a matter of money.
Even if you wanted to buy, no one was willing to sell.
This involved core technology. Even if you wanted to buy, or even if the founder wanted to sell, the United Kingdom, where ARM belonged, would prohibit you from completing the transaction.
This was normal.
Many companies were stopped by these countries when they tried to acquire foreign companies.
However, Chen Yu still decided to give it a try.
He found Zhou Yifei and told her about his idea of acquiring ARM.
Unfortunately, when they tried to get in touch with ARM, the other party directly rejected them.
Forget about acquiring, they weren't even willing to invest.
"Forget it."
Chen Yu was helpless.
Since this method didn't work, he had to think of another way.
"Oh yeah, let's talk to Dean Li Biqing."
Chen Yu wasn't a computer science major. In fact, he didn't know much about computers.
His advantage was his grasp of the future market.
But when it came to technology, he really couldn't do it.
"Dean Li, do you have classes in the afternoon?"
Chen Yu took out his phone and called Li Biqing.
"Chen Yu, you brat, why did you call me?"
"Haha, I was just about to go back to school."
"School? Don't bother. How many classes do you have in a year?"
Li Biqing scolded Chen Yu.
"Of course not. I want to come to school too. I've been busy at the company."
"It seems like you guys have entered the mobile phone industry again."
"We did launch a new mobile phone."
"Not bad. I was just chatting with a few other professors. They laughed and said that you're the price butcher of the mobile phone industry. You beat the mobile phone manufacturers until they're crying."
"They don't have any technology."
"Oh yeah, Chen Yu, you haven't told me why you called me."
"Nothing much. I just want to listen to your computer science class."
"Computer science class?"
"Yeah."
"Aren't you studying economics?"
"When it's time to use it, I regret not having enough knowledge. I have no problem with economics, but when it comes to technology, I have a headache."
"Okay, I don't have classes in the afternoon. Come to my office."
"Okay."
Chen Yu nodded.
Half an hour later, he rushed back to Shencheng University.
"Yo, Chen Yu, so fast?"
"Come, come, come. Let me introduce you. This is Professor Zhou, Professor Wang, and Professor Liu. They are all experts in Shencheng's Computer Science Department."
As soon as he saw Chen Yu, Li Biqing introduced the other three professors to Chen Yu.
"Professors, this is Chen Yu. Back then, I wanted to pull him into our computer science department, but this kid actually refused and said that he wanted to study economics."
Regarding the matter of Chen Yu rejecting Li Biqing back then, Li Biqing complained.
"Dean Li, I was wrong. Can I apply for Computer Science again?"
"You want to study two majors?"
"I think so."
"You can, but forget it. I don't think you're cut out for Computer Science."
"Why …"
"Why else? Look at Huanyu Technologies. It's so big. There's no technical content at all."
"Pfft …"
Chen Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It seemed to make a lot of sense.
Huanyu Technologies really did not have much technical content.
However, Chen Yu still said, "Dean Li, there are some technical content, but it's all related to the Internet. But you know the Internet, the technology is not that big. "
"Okay, okay, you should study economics. It doesn't matter if you study Computer Science or not."
Li Biqing was just saying. He did not really blame Chen Yu for not applying to his Computer Science Department.
"That's true. Computer Science is just a technology. But Economics is much bigger than Computer Science. I'm sure the reason why Huanyu Technology is so successful is also related to your economic foundation. "
Professor Wang also said.
"This … maybe."
Chen Yu laughed.
He would say that it had nothing to do with Economics. It was all because of him.
