The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 180 Capital Four Guarantees One
[Book friends' comments are indeed correct, Mr. Liang Song's response at the end of the last chapter has been revised. 】

As the foundation and core of the global information technology industry, chips require a lot of processes from the beginning of design to the final mass production.

Simply put.

From the beginning of the design of a chip, it is first necessary to determine the architecture adopted by the chip, and then divide the functions of the chip, followed by functional module design and internal IO design.

When there is no problem with the integrated circuit diagram of the chip and the logic code inside the chip, it will enter the trial production process.

That is, production tapes.

Tape-out generally produces 5 to 20 chips. These chips will be used for various tests to determine the performance of the chips and whether there are bugs. If there are problems, they will be modified in time until the final design.

After the tape-out confirms that there is no problem, the chip will enter the final mass production stage.

Mr. Liang Song looked at the design drawings of "Tiger Leap" in shock, then looked up at Director Zhang and the other three, and said:
"Although the process of this chip is complicated, in general, the 14nm process is not a big problem!"

"We can make tapes out first, but for mass production..."

He paused for a moment: "But our production capacity has been fully discharged in the past six months, and we have to wait for mass production!"

"The production capacity is full?"

Director Zhang was a little anxious, but Du Xinxin understood the chip industry.

In the current environment where the chip itself is very tight, the production capacity of a large chip foundry like SMIC must have been fully booked long ago.

For example, the 5nm and 7nm core process production capacity of Taiji Electric has even been scheduled until 2023.

Du Xinxin took over the conversation and said politely to Mr. Liang Song:

"Mr. Liang, when will we be able to arrange production capacity?"

"This……"

After a little thought, Liang Song said: "It will be half a year at the earliest, and now the production capacity of 14 nanometers has already been booked by several domestic companies, you..."

He was about to continue talking when the cell phone in his bag rang suddenly.

Liang Song stopped talking, and apologetically took out his mobile phone to check the caller ID, with a surprised expression on his face.

Zhang Sanshi, President Zhang of Hillhouse Capital?
"Hey, Mr. Zhang..."

Zhang Sanshi's voice on the other end of the phone was very polite. Although Gao Ling didn't have a lot of shares in SMIC, the two had a pretty good relationship in private.

"Master Liang, I'm sorry to bother you."

"I just want to ask, is there an executive from Phoenix Motors approaching you today, hoping to produce a chip?"

Liang Song looked up at Director Zhang and Du Xinxin, quite strangely:
"Huh? There is such a thing, what's the matter?"

Zhang Sanshi's voice was visibly agitated:
"Master Liang, then I want to ask, are there any problems with their chips?"

"If this chip is going to be produced, how long will it take to tape out? Also, if it is going to be mass-produced, when can it be arranged?"

Zhang Sanshi's tone was rapid, and he asked several questions in succession. Liang Song could fully feel the importance in Zhang Sanshi's tone.

He was already shocked by this chip, but now Zhang Sanshi's strong attention made him take it seriously.

"Mr. Zhang, generally speaking, the tape-out production cycle takes about three months. If there is no need to repeatedly modify the chip design, the time can be shortened."

"Because the mass production process is the same as the tape-out process, as long as the first batch of tape-outs is produced, all parameters will be recorded in the entire production process, and the next mass production can directly follow this set of production parameters!"

"However, now our 14nm production capacity is full, and the fastest production will take half a year."

As soon as Mr. Liang Song's voice fell, the director Zhang beside him hurriedly said:

"Mr. Liang, our design drawing is finished, no need to modify it, it can be produced directly!"

Zhang Sanshi on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard Director Zhang's voice, and hurriedly said:

"Master Liang, then I would like to trouble you to arrange a manpower to make tapes first? The sooner the better!"

"And you said that the 14nm production capacity is full. May I ask you, which companies' chips are currently on the 14nm production line?"

???

Mr. Liang Song was taken aback, Zhang Sanshi, Mr. Zhang, what does this mean?
It's fine to call specifically to pay attention to the tape-out of this chip of Phoenix Motors.

This means...

Do you want to personally persuade the company to give up its production capacity to this chip?

Gao Ling actually attaches so much importance to this chip? !

Feeling incredible in his heart, he thought for a while and said:
"It's not a secret. Our 14nm production line has the largest production capacity of Kirin chips produced for Huawei."

"alright, thank you very much!"

After the two hung up the phone, Mr. Liang Song also realized that the chip of Phoenix Motors might not be as simple as a chip!
He was shocked by the "Huyue" chip because of the brand-new architecture adopted by the Huyue chip and the complex process visible to the naked eye on the drawings. He didn't think too much about the logic behind it.

The curiosity in his heart became stronger, and just when he wanted to ask the three of them for more details, the phone rang again.

This……!
This time it's Mr. Ni from S Venture Capital!
"Hey, Mr. Ni..."

Immediately after...

The CEOs of Sequoia and IDG called again, and all their questions pointed to the same thing.

That is the "Tiger Leap" chip designed by Phoenix Motors.

After half an hour.

Mr. Liang Song finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the three factory directors in front of him, and then at the design drawings of the "Tiger Leap" chip on the screen. His expression was completely different from before.

Perhaps I learned some terrifying parameter data of the "Tiger Leap" chip from a few phone calls, so I swallowed:

"Three, can I have a look at the design parameters of this chip?"

"of course can!"

……

Time passed quickly, and it was half a month later.

Zhang Feiyang and Du Xinxin have already returned to the Phoenix headquarters in the mountain city, while the factory manager Zhang stayed in Shanghai. He has been staying at the SMIC headquarters these days, just waiting for the tape-out of "Tiger Leap" to be produced.

Looking at the several capital tycoons sitting in the living room, Director Zhang still felt a little dreamy.

In the past ten days, he can be regarded as a knife in the ass-opened his eyes.

He can be considered to have seen what is called the power of capital.

On the afternoon when he came to SMIC, the bosses of several investment groups came one after another, and immediately there was a round of emergency meetings.

At the beginning, several bosses directly demanded that all the information of "Tiger Leap" be kept confidential. Except for Mr. Liang Song, the entire SMIC, and other people involved in the tape-out production could not know any real information.

What kind of performance and which manufacturer designed it are all false information.

As for tape-out manufacturers, the capital tycoons directly mobilized the ultimate-skilled money-making ability, and under several times the wages, the factory assembled backbones to produce tape-outs 24 hours a day in three shifts.

With the ability to pay money, the original estimated progress of more than two months has been shortened to half a month, and the film will be officially released for testing today!

What shocked him the most was that the production capacity problem that he was most worried about was also brought forward by the joint capital, and Huawei was very happy to let half of the production capacity come out.

In other words, after the intervention of big capital.

Eh!
All problems were settled immediately!
Once there is no problem with the tape-out, the "Tiger Leap" chip will be mass-produced immediately.

tsk tsk!
"Awesome!"

"I have to say that with the escort of capital, four or five capitals will work together to 'guarantee four and one' and escort Phoenix Automobile together. It's really cool!"

Thinking of this, Factory Manager Zhang took another sneak peek at the big men waiting in the living room. According to Mr. Liang Song's prediction, the tape-out of "Tiger Leap" will be produced today.

Before Director Zhang could think about it, the door of the living room was suddenly pushed open.

Brush brush!
Everyone looked at the door in unison, only to see Mr. Liang Song at the door with an excited expression on his face!
"Perfect, so perfect!"

"The architecture, design ideas, and performance allocation are simply perfect!"

"The chip test data came out, and the final measured performance is exactly the same as the design performance, which is incredible!"

Really?

Factory Manager Zhang immediately came to his senses, and his face burst into ecstasy. He walked quickly towards Mr. Liang Song while looking up at the big guys.

The bosses were also beaming with joy, and Mr. Zhang Sanshi and Mr. Zhang couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone, and his tone was very excited:
"Feng Rong, the chip data has come out here, there is no problem!"

"You guys can start getting ready!"

"Can we do it?"

"That's great! I'll inform you right here!"

……

Phoenix Headquarters.

Upstairs to Hu Lai's office, the room that was previously used for webcasting has been sorted out in the past few days.

The originally spacious and bright room was neatly organized, and at the same time, brand new computer desks and more than a dozen computers were added.

Oddly enough.

The computers here are not the same as ordinary computers. An ordinary computer has only one host with one monitor, but a host here is often connected with four or five screens!

And on these screens, dense market data are displayed.

There are a dozen or so traders in the room, and these traders are all excellent traders and traders within major investment groups.

These days, they have received orders from their respective groups one after another, requiring them to hand over all the work in hand quickly, and then come to the Phoenix headquarters to report.

Everyone was very confused about what was going on, but after arriving at the Phoenix headquarters in a daze, they realized that there were not only colleagues from their own group, but also famous traders from other investment groups!
???

At this time, the minds of the all-powerful bigwigs were all confused.

What the hell!

What's up with this Nima?
Gradually, after all the fifteen top traders had arrived, they looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling numb!
Nima.

This room is full of top-ranked traders in Yan Kingdom. Not to mention they all know each other, but at least they have heard each other's names!
Just this group of people, on weekdays, almost everyone hates each other and wants to hunt and kill each other.

But now.

Put everyone together?

This is……?
What kind of power can gather and integrate so many investment groups together!

Phoenix?

Many bigwigs recalled the recent incident that Phoenix Motors was cut off from supplying chips, and vaguely guessed some ideas.

Is this going to make a big deal?
but.

Just when everyone was confused and guessing, several senior executives of investment groups headed by Feng Rong suddenly came to the trading room.

Before everyone could ask, Feng Rong summoned everyone with a smile on his face.

"Gentlemen, I know that you are full of doubts in your heart. How can you gather so many top traders and traders together? What is this for?"

"I want to tell everyone that you are right."

As he spoke, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Feng Rong's face:

"We just want to make a big deal!"

"We are preparing to unite to harvest Wall Street capital."

"Everyone..."

"Are you interested?!"

Harvest Wall Street capital?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then in an instant, the atmosphere in the entire trading room froze.

The trading room suddenly fell silent, and involuntarily, the fifteen traders present looked up at Feng Rong with sharp eyes.

Harvest Wall Street.

Excitement, excitement, and even a little blood.

For Yan Country's top traders, there is nothing more exciting than harvesting Wall Street!
Feng Rong was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and the blood in his heart couldn't help but boil a little.

Over the years, Wall Street has been wielding a sickle to harvest Yanguo's capital everywhere.

Unexpectedly, this time Zesla and Qualcomm cut off the supply of Phoenix auto chips, and it turned out that Fenghuang led Yanguo Capital to quietly start to harvest Wall Street!
Haha!

Good show, let's start!

……

Just when Feng Rong and others began to carefully plan for harvesting Wall Street, Hu Lai also received the news from the director Zhang that the performance of "Tiger Leap" was perfect.

Although he had expected such an ending a long time ago, after actually turning the technology in the system into a real thing, he finally felt relieved.

But just two days after Danggang relaxed, people from Hongguo (Yanguo) Company unexpectedly came to his door.

"Didn't Hongguo ask us to go to the Shanghai stock market headquarters to talk last time? Why didn't we go and they came?"

When Hu Lai heard the secretary's report, he smiled disdainfully.

Previously, Hongguo took advantage of Qualcomm's cut-off of chip supply and thought that Phoenix Automobile was settled. Unexpectedly, ten days later, seeing that Fenghuang did not move at all, Hongguo came to the door instead.

Is this a chip for door-to-door sales of Hongguo?

Hu Lai secretly smiled, Hongguo was still thinking about Phoenix's various technologies!

He originally wanted to refuse to see him, but a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

Isn't Feng Rong and the others just planning carefully?
Instead, you can use the red fruit to show weakness, making Zesla feel that Phoenix really has nothing to do...

"Okay! Now that we have come so far, let's take them to the reception room."

Soon, Hu Lai met the CEO of Hongguo (Yanguo) District, Mr. Xia Hui, in the reception room.

Hu Lai walked forward with a smile on his face, stretched out his right hand from a distance, and said enthusiastically:

"Mr. Xia, I have admired your name for a long time!"

Hu Lai's sudden enthusiasm caught Xia Hui by surprise. He was sure that this was the first time he met Hu Lai.

Slightly stunned, then relieved.

As the CEO of Hongguo, he is used to such scenes.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hongguo Group is like a god to most enterprises in Yan Country!

Lens Technology, Luxshare Precision, and Goertek, these companies with a market value of [-] billion in the stock market, almost all rely on the OEM for Hongguo.

In other words, as long as any company can enter the red fruit supply chain, it is really comfortable.

Therefore, Xia Hui was really used to such scenes.

"Mr. Hu, you are young and promising..."

Xia Hui never expected that the meeting would be so smooth. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xia Hui got to the point:
"Mr. Hu, last time I called you, you didn't reply, so I came here directly..."

"I don't go around in circles. You should know that our Hongguo Group also has a car-making team."

"We have a car-grade chip in-house, and its performance is not much worse than the Snapdragon 8155. Now that your Phoenix car chip is difficult, we can help you."

"but……"

Xia Hui looked at Hu Lai with a happy face, and said with a smile:

"However, you also know that our Hongguo company is not short of money. We provide chips to Phoenix, but we hope to trade your voice assistant technology and autonomous driving technology."

"Don't worry, the price given by Hongguo will definitely satisfy you."

really.

Hu Lai smiled inwardly.

The Hongguo Group has been using this strategy since the time of the leader Qiao.

After acquiring various technologies from around the world, Hongguo itself carries out technology integration.

The well-known voice assistant Sir started from the acquisition, and the well-known Face ID face recognition actually acquired the technology of the Swedish face recognition developer.

Hu Lai's face became a little joyful and a little tangled.

"Mr. Xia, I have a good impression of Hongguo Group, but give me time to think about this matter."

There is a play!

Although Hu Lai did not agree, Xia Hui's confidence was doubled by Hu Lai's tone.

It seems that Phoenix Motors is really forced to do nothing by the chip.

Xia Hui was in a very happy mood, and the two chatted happily.

Although Hu Lai still hesitated in the next exchange and did not let go of his promise, it has far exceeded his expectations!

He was not in a hurry to succeed once, and after talking in detail for half an hour, Xia Hui shook hands with Hu Lai and said goodbye with joy.

With a smile on his face, Hu Lai kindly sent Xia Hui to the car and followed him all the way to the gate of Phoenix Factory.

Hu Lai's kindness won Xia Hui's favor even more. The next day, a big news was suddenly exposed.

"According to people familiar with the matter, Hongguo Group is in secret talks with Phoenix Motors, and Hongguo Group intends to acquire Phoenix Motors!"

When the news of Pu Shu's confusion made the netizens dubious, a photo of Fenghuang President Hu and Hongguo CEO Xia Hui cordially shaking hands and sending them to the car suddenly came out.

In the picture, the two are smiling happily, while the background...

It happened to be Phoenix Factory!
Now, the Yanguo network exploded suddenly!

"Phoenix Automobile is going to be acquired by Hongguo? I don't agree with this marriage!"

"Hey! Phoenix Motors has to bow to Hongguo because of the chip?"

"Everyone believe me, at most Hongguo will take some shares, it is impossible to buy them all..."

Having said that, the netizens are very upset!

In their eyes, the Phoenix Factory is a company owned by people from the Yan Kingdom. Why is it that such a high-tech company has somehow given American companies a share of the pie?

No!
