Boss Chen, congratulations. "
"Boss Ren?"
"Why? Are you surprised that I called you?"
At noon, Chen Yu received a call from Ren Zhengfei.
"No, it's just that I feel bad for poaching Boss Ren's two generals."
"Boss Chen, you're too modest. Gao Ji and He Hongbo are both talents. I hope you can treat them well."
"Boss Ren, don't worry. Of course."
"I also believe in Boss Chen. By the way, when do you have time to meet? "
"Boss Ren, what's up?"
"I want to talk to you about the mobile phone business."
"Let me think …"
Chen Yu considered his future schedule.
Of course, he didn't know what Ren Zhengfei was thinking at the moment, so he didn't agree so quickly.
Ren Zhengfei probably saw Chen Yu's hesitation and said, "Don't think about it. We'll talk when you're free."
"Then I'll call Boss Ren when the time comes."
He hung up the phone.
Chen Yu felt a little strange.
Ren Zhengfei wanted to talk to him about the mobile phone business?
Could it be that he wanted to compete with him?
Thinking that Huawei's mobile phone brand hadn't even been sold, Chen Yu felt a little sense of achievement.
However, Ren Zhengfei wasn't that bored.
The heart of this bigshot was incomparably strong.
Not to mention defeating their mobile phone business now, even if they launched an attack on their core business, he would still fight to the end.
Just like Huawei now.
In the communication business, they were not as good as Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, or Samsung. But they relied on their incomparable fighting spirit to eventually surpass a series of foreign giants.
"Forget it. Let's not think about them."
Chen Yu couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he didn't think about it anymore.
He had to do his own thing first.
Tianyu Mobile Phone occupied the ultra-low-end market, which was just the first step for Huanyu Technologies to enter the mobile phone field.
Chen Yu didn't want to focus on the low-end market.
In the future, Chen Yu wanted to enter the mid-range, mid-range, high-end, high-end, and even the top of the high-end market.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu called Wu Kai and Liang Bo over.
"Liang Bo, how's the situation over here?"
"Boss Chen, we have already started the data research and preliminary design of the mid-range phone."
"What about technology?"
"We have made a breakthrough in the dual-card dual-standby technology, including the resistive screen technology. At present, we have applied for patents for these two technologies."
"Alright."
Chen Yu nodded. "Wu Kai, get the research team to tackle the next area, capacitive screens."
"Yes."
Wu Kai nodded.
Although he wasn't particularly clear about the development of resistive screens and capacitive screens.
However, Wu Kai had never doubted Chen Yu's foresight.
Following which, Chen Yu headed to the A.I. Chip Discovery Department.
"Manager He, are you used to it?"
"It's pretty good. Boss Chen, just call me Tingbo. "
He Tingbo was a technical fanatic. As soon as he joined Huanyu Technologies, he immediately took up his post.
For this reason, Chen Yu assigned He Tingbo to the A.I. Chip Discovery Department to familiarize himself with the entire A.I. Chip Discovery Department.
"Boss Chen, I didn't expect our A.I. Chip Open Source Foundation to be so huge."
"It has to be huge. We are starting from scratch. Everything has to be considered carefully."
"It seems that I was right to join Huanyu Technologies."
"Are you only confirming it now?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "You weren't fooled by me before, were you?"
"No, but after joining the company, we are more clear about our goals."
"Yes, but we can't completely rely on the A.I. Chip Discovery Foundation."
With that, Chen Yu said to Li Biqing, "Director, how's the discussion with Hub International?"
"Everything is going well."
"Boss Chen, Hub International, are we going to process our own chips?"
He Hongbo was extremely surprised. "It's not necessary for the time being."
He Hongbo had always wanted to make a purely domestic China chip.
However, He Hongbo's research was also in the area of chip architecture. As for chip processing, there were naturally other companies to do it.
For example, Hub International.
Hub International was a foundry of crystal elements.
The so-called crystal elements referred to semiconductor transistors or integrated circuit substrates.
To make a chip, not only did the chip architecture have to be done, but also the crystal elements had to be processed.
However, crystal element processing was a very complicated technology. Ordinary companies could not master it.
There were only a dozen companies in the world that could master crystal element processing.
Hub International was one of them.
However, before that, ordinary companies would not do chip processing.
Generally, if a company wanted to make their own chips, they only needed to come up with the chip architecture first and then throw it to the foundry of crystal elements. This was just like making a mobile phone. As long as you prepared the design and electronic components, you could assemble it for you. Of course, foundry of crystal elements was much more technical than mobile phone assembly.
He Hongbo had the same idea.
The separation of industries was becoming more and more detailed. There was no need to do everything.
There were some things that could be done by other companies.
Moreover, they could do it more efficiently.
However, Chen Yu did not think so. "I think it is very necessary."
Facing He Hongbo, Chen Yu asked, "Hongbo, let me ask you a question first. Why do you want to make a chip?"
"My major is semiconductors. Of course, I want to make our own chip. Of course, the more important reason is that we don't have our own chip in China. "
"No, that's not the reason. It's because the foreign chip giants will strangle us."
Actually, it was very easy to understand.
If the world was fair, everyone would naturally do their own thing.
Even if we don't have it on our side, other countries have it, and we can cooperate with them.
However, the world was not like that.
Things like chips were not something that others would cooperate with just because you wanted to.
This was the reason why we wanted to make our own chip.
"Similarly, why was Hub International established? That is, we have to have our own foundry of crystal elements. Otherwise, even if we come up with an extremely powerful chip architecture, other foundry of crystal elements will not manufacture for us. "
At present, the world's most advanced foundry of crystal elements was called TSMC.
This was a foundry of crystal elements.
Of course, if it was just a foundry, Chen Yu would not be in such a crisis.
However, the key was that 80% of TSMC's shareholders were foreign capital.
Once an accident happened, whether TSMC would still be able to manufacture for you was a problem.
In his previous life, Merika already had such an upgrade plan.
However, because this involved too many people, they did not implement it so quickly.
However, everyone knew that whether it was chip architecture or chip processing, their necks were being strangled by foreign countries.
If they did not want to be strangled by them.
The first part was to have their own chip architecture.
The second part was to have their own foundry of crystal elements.
The third part was to build a chip ecosystem.
Of course, Hub International's technology was very average.
This company was established in 2000, and its technology was several generations behind TSMC.
Even in 2020, Hub International's technology was still two generations behind TSMC's.
However, for Chen Yu, Hub International was just right.
Chen Yu did not want to make any high-end chips. He only wanted to make low-end chips.
"Understood."
Although Chen Yu did not say much, He Hongbo instantly understood what was going on.
Seeing that He Hongbo had woken up, Chen Yu continued, "Our Chip Foundation was established not long ago. Although it is developing well, the entire structure is not yet complete. While we are completing the chip architecture, we are also using ARM's technology to make our own low-end chips. "
Of course, making low-end chips was not the goal. The goal was to go through the entire chip process.
Whether it was the architecture or the processing … Huanyu Technologies had to participate.
