The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

at the same time.

The two brands, vivo and OPPO, have decided to give up developing their own chips.

The competition in the mobile phone market is so fierce that they have not made any money in the past two years and simply cannot afford to invest so much money in research and development, so the two companies gave up the idea of ​​​​self-development.

Their idea is the same as Lei Jun's, which is to wait until they have enough money to acquire a relatively strong semiconductor company for research and development.

The most important thing for them now is how to make higher profits from the market.

Nantian Pioneer Park Deep Blue Group.

At this moment, Han Chen and Andrew Ng were sitting at the tea table drinking tea.

"Mr. Han, Saro has been completely completed, and the split image processing tools have also been completed. The next thing to do is training. After the training is completed, it can be put online. Do you have any work arrangements next?" Andrew Ng asked.

"Integrate saro into autonomous driving, and then contact Deep Blue Auto to jointly develop autonomous driving with them," said Han Chen.

"Mr. Han, do you mean to integrate saro into autonomous driving through AR?" asked Andrew Ng.

“Yes, but it is not enough to develop autonomous driving based on visual solutions alone. LiDAR forming technology must be integrated into it. Cross-validation of the two can ensure that saro will not make mistakes. Only in this way can the autonomous driving we develop reach the L3 level.

The new generation of Deep Blue cars already have enough computing power. You can start with the automatic reversing into the parking space function and the automatic parking space search function.

How long do you expect it to take to be completed?" Han Chen asked after refilling Wu Enda's cup of tea.

"If you train with all your strength, you can produce a primary model in three months at most. If you want to deal with more complex scenarios, you need more data for training," said Andrew Ng.

"You don't have to worry about the data. The new generation of Deep Blue cars will regularly send driving data back to the server. This driving data is enough for you to use to train artificial intelligence," said Han Chen.

Just at this moment, Han Chen's cell phone on the tea table rang.

[Caller: Changsun Chuanfu]

"Chuanfu, what's the matter?" Han Chen asked after answering the phone.

"Brother Chen, Ali has spread the word that it wants to sell the Alibaba Cloud business. The price offered by Ali is 15 billion RMB. The group already has a cloud business. Do you think we should acquire Alibaba Cloud back?" asked Changsun Chuanfu.

"How was the price of 15 billion calculated?" Han Chen asked.

"This price is already a loss. Aliyun's net assets are 18 billion." Changsun Chuanfu replied.

Ali Cloud has been losing money since Deep Blue Cloud came out, and Deep Blue is unwilling to sell servers to Ali. Now Alibaba Cloud's operating costs remain high, and the entire company is in a situation where its income is not enough to cover its expenses.

In desperation, Lao Ma had to sell Ali Cloud. At first, Lao Ma offered a price of 30 billion RMB, but it was not sold after a long time.

In order to stop the losses, Ma had no choice but to cut the price in half and sell Alibaba Cloud.

But even if Lao Ma wanted to sell it at a low price, Han Chen would not want it. Alibaba Cloud's servers were old and broken, and the operating costs were much higher than Deep Blue's.

Buying back Ali Cloud would just add non-performing assets to DeepBlue Cloud, and DeepBlue would have to completely replace all their servers. Han Chen's face was filled with disgust when he thought of this.

"Their servers are old and outdated, and the operating costs are so high. They may not be able to sell them for 15 billion, let alone 10 billion. Apart from the computer room and staff, nothing in the entire Ali Cloud company is valuable. Let's wait until they reduce the price to 5 million before we talk about it." Han Chen said.

"I understand." Changsun Chuanfu replied.

"Okay." Han Chen said and hung up the phone.

"Mr. Han, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to work first." Andrew Ng said.

"Yeah." Han Chen nodded.

Not long after Andrew Ng left, the landline phone on Han Chen's desk rang.

"What's the matter?" Han Chen asked after answering the phone.

"Mr. Han, SMIC's vice president Zhao Haijun wants to talk to you. Do you want to answer the call?" Chang Huazhang asked.

"Bring it in." Han Chen said.

The other party probably wanted to buy a lithography machine from Deep Blue, but Han Chen did not intend to sell the lithography machine to the other party. However, Han Chen still had to answer the other party's call.

"Hello, Mr. Han, I am Zhao Haijun, the vice president of SMIC." Zhao Haijun introduced himself after the call was connected.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao." Han Chen replied.

"Mr. Han, I called you this time hoping to purchase lithography machines from your company. I wonder if your company is willing to sell your lithography machines?" Zhao Haijun asked bluntly.

"Mr. Zhao, we have no intention of selling photolithography machines for the time being, but your company does not need to worry about business issues. We will not manufacture chips below 28 nanometers. Deep Blue Wafer Factory will only manufacture the latest processes. If your company wants to reduce production costs, you can purchase photoresist from us and use it.

Our photoresist is cheaper than imported ones. In addition to photoresist, we also have fluorinated acid, and electronic-grade fluorinated acid will be on the market by the end of the year.

If your company wants to purchase these products, I can send you a contact number." Han Chen said.

"I understand. Mr. Han, could you please give me your contact information?" Zhao Haijun replied.

Han Chen then told the other party Chang Yongqing's phone number, and both parties hung up the phone after that.

Han Chen was unwilling to sell the lithography machine, and Zhao Haijun knew there was no point in continuing to pester him.

Besides, Han Chen has already said that Deep Blue will not manufacture products below 14 nanometers, which means that Deep Blue's business does not overlap with SMIC and will not have any impact on SMIC's business. It is already very good that Deep Blue can sell photoresist and fluorinated acid.

Intel Headquarters, Santa Clara, California.

Glenn Hinton tried the Beidouxing EDA software as soon as he got to work, but he was confused when he opened Beidouxing's official website because it did not support switching between Chinese and English.

At first, Glenn Hinton wanted to use Google Translate to convert the text on the website, but after pressing the convert button, the browser prompted him that it could not translate.

In desperation, Glenn Hinton had to find a Chinese person to help him translate.

"Zhou, Beidouxing's website does not support switching between Chinese and English, and does not support web translation function. Can you help me download Beidouxing EDA?" Glenn Hinton said to his Chinese colleague next to him.

"Okay, Director." Zhou Dedong said.

Zhou Dedong then operated the mouse to help Glenn Hinton download the Beidouxing EDA. Because Deep Blue had servers in Europe and the United States, Zhou Dedong downloaded the Beidouxing EDA in less than 10 seconds.

However, after the software is running, it is still in Chinese, and Beidouxing does not support switching from English to Chinese.

"Zhou, this thing doesn't have English?" Glenn Hinton looked up at Zhou Dedong and asked. "Director, it seems that Beidouxing doesn't support English. Registration still requires facial recognition." Zhou Dedong said embarrassedly when he saw the message popping up on the registration box.

"Fuck, so if I want to use this software, I have to learn Chinese and I also need to do facial recognition before I can use it?" Glenn Hinton asked in confusion.

"Yes." Zhou Dedong replied.

"Then go out and find a camera and come back to register," said Glenn Hinton.

"Okay, Director." Zhou Dedong replied.

After a while, Zhou Dedong came back with a camera and uploaded his ID card to the server. After a round of trouble, he finally registered the account.

"Director, the account has been registered. What should we do next?" Zhou Dedong asked Glenn Hinton behind him.

"First, run a simulation test on the Core I 7 980 file on your desktop," said Glenn Hinton.

"Director, Beidouxing uses cloud server technology support. Beidouxing EDA software does not support local simulation. If you want to simulate, you must upload the file to the server. However, Deep Blue states in the agreement that it will not steal any customer information. All uploaded files will be specially encrypted, and users do not have to worry about data leakage." Zhou Dedong replied.

"Does it have to be uploaded to conduct simulation testing?" Glenn Hinton asked with a frown.

"Yes, Director." Zhou Dedong replied.

"Just upload it. I'll be responsible for anything that happens." Glenn Hinton said helplessly.

Fortunately, the Core i7 980 is already an old product, so he doesn't have to worry about Deep Blue stealing his secrets.

After hearing what Glenn Hinton said, Zhou Dedong also uploaded the source file of Core i7 980 to the server.

"The simulation is expected to take 60 minutes. If we purchase VIP membership, the simulation speed can be increased four times." Zhou Dedong looked at Glenn Hinton and asked.

"Fuck, the simulation can be completed in 60 minutes?" Glenn Hinton asked in disbelief.

"Yes." Zhou Dedong replied.

"Let's try the simulation first and talk about the recharge later." Glenn Hinton said.

【1% in simulation test】

【3% in simulation test】

【3% in simulation test】

【99% in simulation test】

It took less than 1 minutes to go from 99% to 40%.

Glenn Hinton could hardly believe his eyes, because Beidouxing EDA was so fast that if it was simulated on their server, it would take at least three days to complete the simulation.

Now it only takes about 54 minutes to complete the simulation using Beidouxing EDA.

This speed is really exaggerated.

Then Glenn Hinton asked Zhou Dedong to introduce him to the functions of Beidouxing EDA.

"No wonder Deep Blue Group was able to develop chips that are more advanced than ours in a short period of time. Using this EDA software, the iteration and update speed of chips will be increased by at least dozens of times." Glenn Hinton muttered to himself.

If they also use this EDA software, they will definitely be able to catch up with Deep Blue Group.

"Zhou, please make a Chinese and English reference table for the Beidouxing EDA software first. I need to report this matter to the boss." Glenn Hinton said.

"Okay, Director." Zhou Dedong replied.

five minutes later
Glenn Hinton came to Lannick Kozian's office.

Rangnick Kozian took over Paul Otellini's job on the 2nd of last month. According to the trajectory of his previous life, Paul Otellini should have retired in 13. However, because of the emergence of Deep Blue, Paul Otellini delayed his retirement for half a year.

"Glenn, what's the matter?" asked Lannick Kozian.

"Boss, I just tested Deep Blue's Beidouxing EDA. The simulation speed of Beidouxing EDA is 80 times faster than the software we are using now. If you recharge to become a member, the efficiency can be increased by about 3 times. Deep Blue must have surpassed us by using this EDA software.

Using BDStar EDA to design chips can increase our iteration speed by several times or even dozens of times," said Glenn Hinton.

"Deep Blue's EDA software is so powerful?" Lannick Kozian asked in surprise.

"This EDA software not only has a fast simulation speed, but also has many functions that existing software does not have. It is the most powerful EDA software I have ever seen. If we use Deep Blue's EDA software, even if we can't surpass Deep Blue, we can at least tie with them." said Glenn Hinton.

Sometimes you can't be too confident. After all, this EDA software was developed by Deep Blue. Who knows what other tricks Deep Blue has up its sleeve? That's why he doesn't dare to say that he has surpassed Deep Blue.

“What does it cost to use their software?” asked Rannik Kozian.

"Each site only needs 13999 RMB per year, which is about 2058 US dollars. In addition, Deep Blue charges a copyright fee of 5% of chip sales. Beidouxing's EDA software is provided through the cloud, which means we do not need to purchase servers. The disadvantage is that Deep Blue will save our design files." said Glenn Hinton.

Lannick Kozian couldn't help but frown when he heard that Deep Blue would save their design files.

The chip design files are their core business secrets. If they are simulated on Beidouxing EDA, it is equivalent to giving their business secrets to Deep Blue.

However, without Deep Blue's EDA, their research and development speed could not keep up with Deep Blue's.

This also puts Lannick Kozian in a dilemma.

use?
Need not?

If they don't use Beidouxing EDA, not to mention that they will not be able to keep up with Deep Blue's R&D speed, it won't be long before a large number of chip R&D companies appear on the market, and they may be surpassed by these new companies in the future.

To avoid being surpassed by these others they can only pray that Deep Blue doesn't peek into their design files.

They didn't believe Deep Blue even if it said it wouldn't snoop through their files.

"Fuck it." Lannick Kozian said after giving a blowjob to the national quintessence.

"You go back and do your thing first. I will handle this matter. I will notify you when I have a solution." Lannick Kozan said after taking a deep breath.

"Okay, boss," Glenn Hinton replied.

Glenn Hinton also knew what problems Lannick Kozian was facing, and he was not the only one who could decide on this matter. This matter would probably need the approval of the board of directors. (End of this chapter)
