Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 751 Doctor's Confusion (Two in One)

The Rockets lost in the first finals, which made the friends who came to watch the game quite aggrieved.

Obviously it was the Rockets' home court, but Wade, who was facing the Heat, enjoyed the referee's whistle.

Even Jay Chou, who was full of anger, got into the music room after he came back, and it was said that he was going to write a new song that cursed at the referee.

As a minority shareholder who took some shares of the team this year, Jay Chou couldn't wait to play and inflict a few malicious fouls on the opponent.

Also on this night, the well-known media ESPN also discussed the refereeing issue in the finals, bluntly saying that the key whistleblowing made the game situation reversed, and Wade's tough elbow when he broke through was too ignored by the referee.

Domestic fans also turned against Yingtian, and Sina's sports section was once paralyzed.

However, Fang Zhuo, who was once again photographed roaring at the stadium, was actually very calm. He was only thinking about how to negotiate with Qualcomm and how to communicate with Dr. Liang.

In the evening, fearing that the boss who was still on the roof jumped in anger, Ms. Yu Hong, the co-founder of Yike, came up to see what was going on.

"Are you worried about the future of the team?" Yu Hong stood beside President Fang against the warm evening wind.

She didn't talk about the finals that have not yet been decided in this round, but refers to the team's construction next season.

姚明的新秀合同今年到期，8月份一定是顶薪5年7500万的续约，而卡特的合同是到2007-2008赛季结束，纳什的合同是到2010年结束。

Thanks to Yao Ming's cheap contract last year and this year, there is space to sign a defensive strongman. After next season, there may be a problem with role players, but there may also be veteran players who are hungry for championships. It depends on how the team operates. .

Fang Zhuo shook his head, but sighed slightly: "There are so many things."

Yu Hong immediately understood that it was not the team's business at all.

She also understands that Fang, who has been busy all the time, always has too many things to consider.

Yu Hong couldn't help but make a joke: "The night is long, I don't want to sleep..."

She didn't continue after speaking halfway, wishing she could cover her mouth a second ago.

Fang Zhuo answered the second part very naturally: "I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, so it turns out you couldn't either."

This is Zhou Xingchi's classic line, and Yu Hong has been a movie fan for a long time.

However, he didn't say much, and talked directly to Qualcomm's clearer bundling wishes today.

Yu Hong listened to two mouths while watching the game, but the scene was very loud, and she could hardly hear the conversation between the two.

But this will hear Qualcomm's more straightforward wishes and object: "If Qualcomm has confidence in its chips, why is it like this? Apple will undoubtedly choose the chip with the best performance within their capabilities, which is very important for our mobile phones. Competitiveness is a challenge."

Fang Zhuo agrees with this point, but also analyzes Qualcomm's actions from a deeper level: "In the upgrade of each generation of communication technology, the industry standard is the first to be established. What Qualcomm wants is not only future orders, but also standards, which are CDMA technology."

"It is said that Intel is still promoting the 3G standard WiMAX it developed with Motorola to be recognized by the International Telecommunication Union. It is also known as 3.5G, which has great ambitions. Moreover, Qualcomm still has to compete with WCDMA."

"Qualcomm is definitely not looking for our family. Samsung and Apple probably have them all. It is trying its best to maximize CDMA technology and then eat patent money."

Obviously, Qualcomm succeeded.

But this is not all smooth sailing. Now the 3G standard WCDMA camp is the strongest. It is a communication standard cooperated by countries such as Europe and Japan that originally implemented the GSM standard. The purpose is to bypass Qualcomm's patents as much as possible.

However, Nokia and Japan's i-mode NEC, Toshiba, Sanyo, Sharp, Kyocera, Panasonic and other manufacturers support this standard.

Fang Zhuo looked around, good guy, League of Losers!
The losers will not automatically fail. It is precisely because ios and Android lead the development of the intelligent era that a large number of manufacturers are lonely and withdrawn.

That is, standards are standards, commercialization is commercialization, and the two interact.

However, Qualcomm can rely on its monopoly patents to collect a large amount of patent taxes in the 3G era. It is impossible for other manufacturers and even countries to sit back and watch the next-generation communication standards remain under the control of others.

Yu Hong thought for a while and asked, "Isn't the 3G standard formulation deadline?"

The global unified frequency allocation is under the responsibility of the International Telecommunication Union. As early as 1998, the time for submitting the 3G standard was over.

Fang Zhuo shrugged his shoulders: "Who knows, anyway, Intel's news is very hot. It seems that the pressure from the United States is probably behind the industry standards. National power competition is behind the industry standards."

Yu Hong nodded silently. She did see a lot of operations that broke the rules in New York—since the original rules are not suitable, write a new rule to apply to the new situation.

Fang Zhuo thought about it and said: "Although I have doubts about Qualcomm's chips, I thought about it carefully. Qualcomm wants to tie the manufacturer on board. At this time, it is not impossible to discuss some other interests."

Yu Hong heard the string song and knew the elegance: "Patent authorization?"

The 3G era is approaching, and the patents in Qualcomm's hands cannot be circumvented at all, and there is a range of patent fees it charges manufacturers, and the proportion is determined according to the sales volume.

Fang Zhuo believes that there should still be a lot of room for negotiation at this stage, and every point that can be discussed now will be expanded countless times in the future.

When ios and Android become famous, Qualcomm can sit back and relax in the 3G era, and the room for negotiation will be greatly reduced.

"Weigh the pros and cons, weigh the pros and cons." Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly.

The two blew the evening breeze together on the rooftop.

Not long after, Jay Chou, who came out of the music room, began to howl below, and his singing was carried by the wind.

Yu Hong listened carefully for a while, and asked, "What is he singing?"

"I can't hear clearly, it seems to be swearing." Fang Zhuo really couldn't hear Jay Chou's fast and dense English lyrics, but he heard something like Wang Defa.

Yu Hong couldn't help laughing.

Fang Zhuo was excited by Jay Chou's new song, and said with a smile: "No matter what the result of this round of finals is, I have already figured out what to write on the T-shirt at home next season, just write 'Make Rockets Great Again', Make Rockets Great Again .”

Yu Hong was surprised and said, "Why are you having trouble with these few words? The same goes for the MIGA Fund."

"Because, only by walking with greatness can one become great." Fang Zhuo smiled slightly, suddenly thinking about the dinner at noon tomorrow, "Oh yes, I will see Liang Mengsong at noon tomorrow, and I guess he will ask me a question then."

Yu Hong asked, "What?"

"It's questions like 'what do you want' and 'what do you want'." Fang Zhuo replied.

Yu Hong suddenly remembered that she had asked a similar question.

Fang Zhuo said again: "Really, I have been in touch with Dr. Liang for two years. He is really more troublesome than a woman with his temper."

Yu Hong glanced sideways.

Fang Zhuo continued without changing his face: "It may also be that the women I meet are all heroic, with SSS in ability, SSS in courage, and SSS in thighs. This comparison, Dr. Liang's hesitation broke my heart."

Yu Hong said sincerely: "Fang Zhuo, you hate it when you hate it."

Fang Zhuo laughed loudly: "I'm not afraid that others will hate me."

Yu Hong patted the railing: "I went to sleep, I'm flying to California tomorrow morning, there's still a meeting over there."

"President Yu worked hard, please sleep with my respect." Fang Zhuo waved.

Yu Hong walked off the rooftop with President Fang's respect, and she will come back to watch G2 of the finals after going to California for a meeting.

Fang Zhuo still didn't go down, no longer thinking about Qualcomm, but instead thinking about how to communicate with Dr. Liang tomorrow.

Dr. Liang is known as a chip maniac, with a proud and arrogant personality. He not only has top-notch technical strength, but also made great contributions in the battle against IBM a few years ago. Luo Weiren even became his immediate boss!

In such a situation, there must be extreme resentment.

Fang Zhuo had long been looking forward to the changes in Tai Ji, and this time he got his wish and really invited Dr. Liang to Houston. He felt that this was really the best opportunity since we met in two years.

Unlike impressing Professor Hu Zhengming, Dr. Liang... this person can be treated in a more secular way.

Combining the information collected for two years and the impression of this person in my mind, there is a small detail that is very interesting.

Dr. Liang secretly joined Samsung after leaving Taiji. When the news spread, Taiji asked the person concerned if there was such a thing. Dr. Liang categorically rejected this and did not officially join Samsung until the shares in the Taiji agreement took effect.

Well, stocks are certainly a lot of money.

Fang Zhuo likes the profile of Dr. Liang revealed by such details.

February 6, noon.

In a high-end but not ostentatious western restaurant in Houston, Fang Zhuo met Liang Mengsong who was wearing a hat and sneaking.

Well, it's normal behavior to wear a sun hat on a hot day.

As for the sneakiness...

Sneaky and not breaking the law!

Fang Zhuo opened a bottle of expensive red wine with a smile, pretending not to see the sweat on the tip of Dr. Liang's nose.

Soon, the doctor regained his composure in the comfortable temperature of the box.

Fang Zhuo sipped his wine and chatted with Dr. Liang about yesterday's game.

Then, he briefly mentioned the meaning of Qualcomm's vice president coming over yesterday.

"Qualcomm wants to cooperate with us in chip foundry. Last month, our ice core also successfully achieved the risky mass production of 90nm." Fang Zhuo talked about his latest news, quite proud, "Ice core is not long, but It is really trying to keep up with the advanced level of the world step by step.”

Liang Mengsong showed a polite smile.

However, this Dr. Liang is not the kind of person with a deep city, and there is something strange in his smile.

Fang Zhuo has been paying attention to Liang Mengsong's reaction since the beginning of the chat. Seeing such a look, his heart moved, and he boasted more when he mentioned his own technology: "Speaking of which, Ice Core can go to today, Qiu Ciyun Qiu Zong really deserves to be a first-class factory builder, and Professor Hu Zhengming Hu also gave us great help in catching up with advanced manufacturing processes."

"Now with 90nm process technology, Ice Core can finally look around the world."

"Although it's not as good as Taiji, with today's technology, how can it be considered a second-tier?"

Fang Zhuo drank the wine, rather complacent.

Liang Mengsong's teeth were sore for a while, he endured it again and again, and said: "Your ice core still has a lot of room for improvement."

Fang Zhuo smiled and said: "The road has to be taken step by step. This is 90nm, this is Mr. Qiu, this is Professor Hu, whoever it is, according to Bingxin's current team and technology, it is nothing more than that."

Liang Mengsong glanced at the head of Ice Core in front of him, knowing that he was being aggressive, he half-actively said with a slight mockery: "If you want me to say, Qiu Ciyun does have a set of skills in fab integration, but the judgment of process technology..."

Fang Zhuo interrupted displeasedly: "There is also Professor Hu Zhengming Hu! Even though he didn't accept the commendation in Taiji, I know that he also contributed a lot to leading the team."

This is what Liang Mengsong became famous for, the battle of the 130nm copper process. This time, Professor Hu left Tai Ji and returned to the United States to teach.

If it was two or three months ago, Liang Mengsong would have been proud of his famous works, but now, he has an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

Because of this, he spoke more directly: "The professor's research is very powerful, but it is more about FinFET research. When it comes to the first-line advanced process technology..."

Liang Mengsong didn't say "Who else is it?" He drank two more sips of red wine and criticized: "Bingxin is still working on 90nm step by step at this node. Mass production in the fourth quarter, research on 65nm and 40nm general-purpose processes are underway, and the gap is further widening."

Fang Zhuo frowned and said, "Of course Tai Ji is amazing, how can you use its standards to criticize Bing Xin's inflexibility?"

Liang Mengsong sneered slightly: "Taiji has confirmed with customers that the cost of 65nm is lower than 90nm, and you continue to study 90nm, how do you fight?"

Fang Zhuo disagreed: "We must study 90nm first, and then move forward with the foundation, I think..."

He suddenly stopped speaking, strung together the meaning of Dr. Liang's words, and thunder and lightning flashed in his mind: "The doctor means to go directly to 90nm instead of 65nm?"

Liang Mengsong showed a "not so stupid after all" smile.

Fang Zhuo was really taken aback: "Impossible, SMIC develops 90nm first, and then develops 65nm!"

Liang Mengsong said flatly: "SMIC is also a bunch of idiots."

Fang Zhuo didn't get angry at the word "Ye", he was only shocked by the words, can he really skip 90nm and directly develop 65nm?

He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight away, poured wine for Liang Mengsong himself, and said sincerely: "Please ask the doctor to explain my doubts for me, is this really okay?"

Liang Mengsong shook his red wine glass: "Of course, the cost of manufacturing equipment and foundry costs of the two are almost the same. Regardless of design, manufacturing or demand, the industry will definitely have a wave of direct transition to 65nm."

He continued: "SMIC's research and development of 90nm has been started a long time ago, and they can't give up halfway. At this time, your ice core is still following the same pace. It is simply that the bottom No. 1 is learning from the bottom No. 2. It is ridiculous."

Fang Zhuo swallowed unconsciously. He suddenly remembered the media report on Liang Mengsong. After joining Samsung, he resolutely broke the obstacles of many people and decided to skip 20nm and directly upgrade from 28nm to 14nm.

Facts have proved that Liang Mengsong's "once" decision and vision were extremely vicious, and successfully allowed Samsung to greatly narrow the gap with Tai Ji.
