After telling Li Xuelin about the blog, Chen Yu went to the Huanyu Chip Open Source Fund Department.
Li Biqing was in charge of the department.
Although no other manufacturers had joined for the time being, with the addition of 10 million yuan for the first mission, the Huanyu Chip Open Source Plan became a hot topic for technical experts around the world.
"Dean, how is Professor Hamm's design plan?"
"It's very good. Professor Hamm himself is a well-known chip design expert. In addition, he has been communicating with experts around the world from time to time. This plan can be said to be the best in the world. Many researchers think that if we really design such a chip, our chip will replace ARM. "
Li Biqing was also extremely excited.
Previously, he thought it was almost impossible to make a domestic chip.
But now, although the domestic chip had not been made yet, there was already a shadow of it.
"Let's not talk about replacing ARM for the time being. Let's give 10 million yuan to Professor Hamm first."
"Well, this is also what I want to discuss with you."
"What?"
"It's like this. Our mission originally gave 10 million yuan, which is to say, the final plan provider. We are rewarding him with 10 million yuan. But on our open source forum, not only Professor Hamm, but also technical experts from all over the world. "
"You mean to also reward some other experts with a batch of funds? That's possible, but this reward method is a bit difficult. "
Chen Yu was not a stingy person. He naturally knew that Li Biqing's idea was good.
This way, regardless of whether your plan was ultimately adopted or not, you would still be given a certain amount of funds.
This would also allow more technical experts to participate.
There was just a problem. How would they reward this fund?
"We've studied it. This is easy. As long as the first person to propose an idea in our forum and our plan or plan is adopted, we will give him a certain amount of funds as a reward. Of course, the premise is that his idea must be original. "
"That's fine."
Chen Yu nodded. "Dean, I'll leave this to you."
"Okay."
"However, the next batch of funds may be much more than the first batch of funds."
Speaking of this, Li Biqing proposed the next step of the mission.
The first task was to come up with a top-level plan.
After the plan was done, it was the specific chip architecture design.
This architecture design was not only about vision and experience, but more importantly, technology.
"Dean, how much do you think we need for the second batch of funds?"
"3000 … at least 20 million."
"30 million."
Seeing that Li Biqing's funds had decreased from 30 million to 20 million, Chen Yu immediately increased the funds to 30 million.
The advantage of open-source chips was that they could gather all the technical experts in the world.
However, there was also a huge problem with the open source of chips.
That is, the amount of money involved is very large.
Li Biqing had probably taken the company's situation into consideration, so he had reduced it from 30 million to 20 million.
However, Chen Yu understood the importance of the A.I. Chip.
The entire chip open source plan could not be sloppy at all.
Not to mention the use of funds.
Even if he had to waste a lot of money on this, Chen Yu had to ensure that he had enough funds for the chip open source project.
"Chen Yu, actually, you don't need 30 million. 20 million should be enough."
"We can't save money by making chips. What we need now is the technology of all the experts in the world. We can spend money wherever we can."
"That's true, but on the one hand, it may be difficult for the company to spend money like this, and it will require a lot of money in the future. On the other hand, if we spend so much money, these experts will treat us as nouveau riche. "
"Hehe, it's better if they treat us as nouveau riche."
Chen Yu laughed and said, "If they treat us as nouveau riche and give us all the technology, I'm willing to be nouveau riche. As for the funds, don't worry, Dean. You don't have to worry about this, the company has sufficient funds. "
"Alright, I don't care about making money. I only care about spending money."
Since Chen Yu said so, Li Biqing did not think about it anymore.
Of course, Li Biqing was also more and more impressed with Chen Yu.
Perhaps when Chen Yu was in school, Li Biqing did not feel this way.
At most, he felt that Chen Yu was very good. He had created such a big business at such a young age.
However, after joining Huanyu Technologies, Li Biqing finally understood how amazing Chen Yu was.
Just like this chip open source plan.
It was not difficult to come up with this plan. The difficult part was that you had the courage to keep throwing money into this plan.
One had to know that it would take a very, very long period of time to go from throwing money into a real business.
Even if you threw a lot of money and spent a lot of time, you might not be able to make money.
However, Chen Yu still did not hesitate.
"By the way, Huawei's Boss Ren is coming?"
"Yes, Ren Zhengfei will be here at 2 pm."
"Chen Yu, this is an opportunity."
"Dean, you mean to pull Ren Zhengfei into our chip open source plan?"
Chen Yu asked.
The chip open source plan was not just a matter of funds.
More importantly, it was an ecosystem.
How to build an ecosystem?
This was not something that could be done by one person alone.
The so-called ecosystem must be joined by countless companies from all over the world. This was the real ecosystem.
Otherwise, even if your chip's performance was incomparably high-end, the technology was incomparably unique, and even beat all the chips. However, without the support of other companies and without other companies to build this ecosystem, such a chip would be useless.
Li Biqing was naturally aware of this point, so he suggested to Chen Yu.
"Huawei's technology is very good. At the same time, they are also in the top-level technology. Our chip open source plan is very beneficial for Huawei."
"I guess this is also the purpose of Ren Zhengfei coming here."
"You mean Ren Zhengfei is coming for our chip open source plan?"
"That's right."
Chen Yu nodded. "I believe Ren Zhengfei has the foresight."
…
At 2 pm, Chen Yu met with Huawei's CEO, Ren Zhengfei.
This was a famous technology tycoon in Chen Yu's previous life.
Of course, to be honest, although this tycoon was very powerful, in the era before the smartphone, Ren Zhengfei was not very famous. On one hand, this was related to his fame. On the other hand, before the smartphone era, Huawei's main business was the communication business.
Naturally, not many people paid attention to the low-level business. Even if it was very powerful, it was difficult for ordinary people to know.
However, after the smartphone era, Huawei suddenly expanded the market and entered the civilian market.
Moreover, through its own efforts, Huawei became the most high-end smartphone company in China.
It had to be said that in the smartphone industry, Huawei's Ren Zhengfei was definitely a tycoon in China.
However, at this time, Ren Zhengfei had not made a smartphone yet.
Not only had he not made a smartphone, but he had not even made a mobile phone yet.
At this time, Ren Zhengfei was still very young.
It seemed that he was about 50 years old, although his actual age was almost 60 years old.
On the other side.
Compared to Chen Yu's curiosity about Ren Zhengfei, Ren Zhengfei was more interested in Chen Yu.
Chen Yu.
Founded in 2001, 5173. com.
Launched "Legend of Mir 2" in 2002, setting the record for the highest simultaneous online game in China.
YY replaced QQ in 2002, monopolizing the domestic instant messaging market.
Launched Tianyu mobile phone in 2003, and started the chip open source plan …
The above was only part of Chen Yu.
However, even if it was only part of it, it was difficult to associate this young man of about 20 years old with him.
Ren Zhengfei once wondered if Chen Yu had a special identity.
However, after some investigation, Chen Yu's identity was not special at all.
He came from an ordinary family, and his father was quite powerful. He was the founder of the famous hot pot brand, Hot Pot Beauty.
Okay.
According to rumors, this Hot Pot Beauty was also Chen Yu's idea.
