I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 407, Chapter 116-117: This pattern has been opened! (4000 words)
However, many of the actions and preparations made by Hillhouse, especially the investment of real money in research and development and breakthroughs in the fields of chips and artificial intelligence, have been noticed by the government and higher-ups.

Huajiantou is just testing the waters. Now many state-owned capitals are actually testing Gao Huaijun's ideas to see if he needs some channels and financial help and support.

This is actually the confidence that allows Hillhouse to continue making losses in these two sectors.

In these two industries where money is burned faster than paper, even if Gao Huaijun knew their future development prospects, he did not dare to play so big.

The combined losses of several branches are close to 10 billion yuan. Even some old central enterprises, backed by state capital, are facing the pressure of long-term loss of state-owned assets. Who dares to guarantee their official hats? Unless this is a clear strategy designed by the state from the top level!

This is actually one of Hillhouse’s major advantages, as it can sustain such long-term losses.

These things were figured out by Gao Huaijun after he met some people, went through some things, and Gao Ling became a part of the game.

Although these things are still somewhat far from the truth, the real game is naturally a combination of multiple complex factors, but the general direction should be correct.

The United States' move in the field of science and technology involves so many complex forces in the world, and the core of its specific planning is precisely this chip technology!

In fact, Gao Huaijun now thinks that if he had not participated in the absurdities of later generations, he would not have believed that the United States used this invisible hand to guide chess.

Therefore, only when Gao Huaijun entered into this chess game did he understand the current danger!
However, he now had no way out and had no other choice but to charge forward.

Li Yinxin asked with a smile, "So, does that mean Sansang has already stepped into this beautiful era?"

Gao Huaijun didn't know how to answer. If he said some things too much, people would say he was alarmist or even had low emotional intelligence. He could only say, "Every country has its own advantageous industries. After the development of the Han River Miracle, Han Country has formed a trust group headed by Sansang and Xiandai, which has occupied most of the country's resources to maintain its own advantages... I think it will definitely be in a favorable position in future competitions."

Li Yinxin looked at him with a smile, thinking that he had to bow his head under the oppression of Sansang Company.

Of course, as a large group with businesses in electronic technology, banking, insurance, construction, etc., the Samsang Chaebol is not something that Hillhouse Group can approach.

Although, in her opinion, Gao Huaijun's Hillhouse Group was able to rise rapidly within ten years and get close to Sansang, which was already crazy enough in the eyes of the Han people.

"I used to think that Mr. Gao was young and frivolous and didn't take San Sang seriously. Now it seems that I have wronged Mr. Gao! I think Mr. Gao has already come up with a perfect plan for Hillhouse chips." Li Yinxin said.

Gao Huaijun laughed out loud. "What a foolproof plan! It's just a reckless one. I plan to use the latest Qinglong chip in Hillhouse's flagship phone."

Although Gao Huaijun only said a few words, Li Yinxin standing by was so surprised that her face turned pale.

Using chips developed and designed in-house is basically the basic skill of the top flagship phones and major mobile phone manufacturers of this era.

This is the case with Pingguo Company and also with Sansang Company.

It can be said that smart phones plus self-developed chips are the key to top companies standing out.

Hillhouse Technology is absolutely courageous in taking this step.

Flagship phones are not like low-end phones.

Customers who can afford low-end mobile phones are naturally mentally prepared for the performance of the product. If something goes wrong, like the phone gets a little hotter, a little slower, or the screen is a little dimmer, it’s no big deal.

After all, the quality of the phone is not a problem, but being poor is my biggest problem!

But it’s different with high-end mobile phones. If your product has major problems, do you think consumers will cause trouble for you?

What is a flagship?

Only the best, most outstanding and most high-quality products can become flagship phones!
If there is even a single flaw in Hillhouse Qinglong's chip, it will be completely ruined.

This is also the core reason why Li Zonglin and other people from Hillhouse Chip learned that the Qinglong chip will be used in the flagship mobile phone Alexander.

In a word, low-end mobile phones have a stronger tolerance rate, but high-end mobile phones do not give you this opportunity.

This is also the reason why Li Yinxin was shocked.

Gao Huaijun, you are so brave!
Dare to take a gamble on the fate of Hillhouse Technologies, a listed company.

He is really willing to give up a company with assets worth hundreds of billions!

Looking at Li Yinxin, whose pretty face had turned slightly pale, he walked over and patted her cheek with his hand. "This matter is just like the storms we have seen before. There will always be a day when the wind and waves will calm down. I am sure about this matter. If Hillhouse Technology had not had such a big support, I would not have postponed it until today. Go and prepare a dry martini for me. Shake it well, don't stir it!"

"Three parts gin, one part vodka, half part Lillet, shake until it's cold enough and pour it out, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?"

. . . . . .

In fact, Gao Huaijun’s plan is not to force a newly born baby-level chip research and development institution like Hillhouse Chip to develop 20-nanometer chips.

You know, internationally renowned R&D companies, such as Intel, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and even emerging technology company Ping An, have all been immersed in the chip field for many years, and even invested heavily.

Over the years, Hillhouse Capital has invested only a few billion yuan in chips.

Although it is just design and avoids the asset-heavy chip factories, the investment is not too small.

This was achieved by relying on the employees’ 996 and 007 working hours, as well as the relatively low wages of Chinese employees!
Therefore, now that Hillhouse's chip has reached this level of completion, Gao Huaijun also hopes that they can use the 20-nanometer chip project to become a core leader to drive the development of the entire high-end chip research and development and design industry.

This is called a lead project.

In the past, Hillhouse has achieved very good results using this method.

For example, Hillhouse Tang, Hillhouse mate 1 mobile phone, Hillhouse folding screen mobile phone and so on.

This time, the leader simply changed from Hillhouse’s two subsidiaries to its younger brother Hillhouse Chip.

However, to some extent, the significance of Hillhouse's 20nm chip is in no way inferior to flagship products such as Hillhouse Tang.

It can even be said that it is at the highest level, just like driverless technology and big data models.

Of course, the R&D personnel within Hillhouse Chip also know the importance of this product to Hillhouse.

Even when they knew that Hillhouse Mate 10 would be equipped with this product and knew some of the configurations of Mate 10, they couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.

We are not worthy of it!
This feeling is like a poor country boy of 27 or 28 years old meeting a beautiful girl of 17 or 18 years old, and this beautiful girl is rich and fair.

Now the family of the beautiful, rich and white woman is trying to force them to pair up.

They themselves feel dizzy.

A chip can be installed in both flagship phones and ordinary low-end phones. These are two fundamental concepts.

Moreover, this flagship mobile phone is among the top 5 in China!
One means that I am already very awesome and qualified to become the world's cutting-edge chip manufacturer, while the other means that you have the strength to make a living in this market.

The gap is very huge.

. . . . . .

Hillhouse Chip Headquarters.

Li Zongli sat at the table, staring at the desktop computer in front of him in a daze.

On his desk were three empty plastic bottles of iced Americano.

He drank this last night while his liver was working.

Now more than 70% of Hillhouse Chip's core R&D personnel are focusing on tackling this chip.

But even so, the speed of attack is relatively slow.

After he joined Hillhouse Chip, Hillhouse Chip experienced explosive growth from scratch for a period of time, but has recently gradually entered a bottleneck period.

At the low-end chip stage, there is no problem with a lot of experience and some human wave tactics, but at the high-end, the accumulation of multiple chip pins is definitely not as simple as 2+2=4, it is 2 to the square power, or even 2 to the cube power, which increases exponentially!
In a word, the chip industry is definitely a strange inverted triangle industry.

The core three or four chip manufacturers and integrators monopolize most of the profits from manufacturing to design. The entry barrier is so high that if your product technology does not reach a certain level, you will not be able to make a certain profit.

This also made Li Zongli himself feel a lot of pressure.

Because, according to the current progress.

If Gao Huaijun does not intervene effectively and Hillhouse Technology does not adopt Qinglong 801 as its flagship product, then it is very likely that Hillhouse Chip will suffer losses so great in a few years that Gao Huaijun will be unable to withstand the pressure and will directly announce the closure of the Hillhouse Chip subsidiary!
Now that Hillhouse chips can take advantage of this opportunity, they will be able to achieve a "step-up" upgrade in the future!

Although the volume of Hillhouse's high-end flagship products is not large now, it definitely has the potential to achieve sales of tens of millions in the future.

What is this concept?

In the foreseeable future, this will definitely be a super existence that can be ranked among the top 5 in the entire world.

This made him involuntarily feel excited!
Is there anything more shocking than building a platform from scratch to the top of the world?

This kind of thing is even more exciting than giving him a small goal, or even ten small goals.

He often heard people say that power is the best aphrodisiac for men. He used to scoff at this, thinking that it was impossible for a man to be controlled by power.

And now he is taking the initiative to work 20 hours a day in the company to make up for these hard-working young people who work overtime. Even his wife thinks he is risking his life!

This is the rhythm of wanting to die suddenly!
However, he was so willing to risk his life for this group of young people in the company.

Because he knows that as long as Hillhouse's chip passes the 20-nanometer barrier, it will not be too difficult to reach the 14-nanometer barrier, and then the manufacturing process will reach the death zone of 7nm.

Even in the future when Li Zonglin was unaware of it.

There are only a few players who can reach 7 nanometers, and they can be counted on one hand.

If the 20-nanometer research and development is successful, with the support of Hillhouse Mate and P series, it will not be a problem for Hillhouse Qinglong chip to extend beyond the 14-nanometer chip.

7 nanometers, that is the dream that his former employer MediaTek has been striving for!
What could be more exciting than starting a new company and defeating your old employer head-on?
"Mr. Li, are you there?" At this time, he heard Min Weiguo's voice at the door.

"Oh! It's President Min! Are you coming to the company so early?" Li Zongli rubbed his red eyes and smiled as he pulled out a chair for Min Weiguo.

"What do you mean early? I didn't even go home last night!"

"The Mate 10 uses a new chip, a new camera, a curved screen, wireless headphones, and wireless charging technology. I really can't keep up with it without working overtime."

"I have a feeling that starting with Hillhouse's tenth-generation product, the Mate 10, Hillhouse will have a completely different mobile phone situation."

At the end, Min Weiguo said as he drank from the cup in his hand.

At first, when Li Zongli heard Min Weiguo say that he worked overtime all night, he smiled and thought he did it by accident.

Hillhouse Technology has a complete mobile phone R&D system, and its oldest Mate series has even developed to the tenth generation of products.

Is this overtime?

It's too obvious!
Li Zongli himself has no choice as he cannot develop the 20-nanometer chip. He really doesn't know what Gao Huaijun is thinking.

But when he heard Min Weiguo say that starting with Mate 10, Hillhouse's tenth-generation product, Hillhouse will have a completely different mobile phone situation, his face couldn't help but change slightly, "What do you mean?"

"hey-hey!"

"How can you, the upstream brother companies, understand the suffering of us, the downstream platform companies?"

“Hillhouse Technology seems to be thriving, but it is always on pins and needles.”

“How did Nokia lose?”

"It's much bigger than Hillhouse Technology right now!"

"Even a company as big as Nokia could lose everything if it made a mistake, let alone Hillhouse Technology."

"So to consolidate the moat, you must have your own flagship products and a solid technological fortress."

"And the core of this is to use the chips and the functions supported by the chip computing power to release!"

"In this regard, the interests of Hillhouse Technology and Hillhouse Chip are actually the same."

Min Weiguo stroked the cup in his hand and said seriously.

After hearing what Min Weiguo said, Li Zongli suddenly understood why Gao Huaijun had to lose so much money and face such great resistance, but still insisted on developing Hillhouse's self-developed chips.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Old Min, this is incredible. Did you wash too many feet on the third floor of the foot massage parlor and open up the space? I see you didn't drive a Cadillac much before!" Li Zongli was silent for a long time, and suddenly said jokingly.
