Chapter 164 The mountain is not high, but there are immortals who are famous

"Silicon Graphics Company?" Li Dongling couldn't help but ask when Huang Lingyi mentioned Silicon Graphics Company.

"Mr. Li has also heard of this company?"

When Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi heard this, they couldn't help but look towards Li Dongling.

Li Dongling nodded first, then shook his head, which made the two of them a little confused. Li Dongling said, "I have heard of Jim Clark, the founder of Silicon Graphics!"

After all, we are separated by the Pacific Ocean, and the domestic media does not pay much attention to companies and big figures in the American technology industry, so the information is not very well-informed.

What Ni Guangnan and the others are paying attention to is MPS, which was acquired by Silicon Graphics three years ago. This company was one of the first companies to enter the processor industry. Up to now, it is also one of the few companies in the global processor industry that is still there. If you have to compare companies that play with their own chip architecture, Mepsi is very similar to ARM, which is a later company that plays with chip licensing.

Seeing Ni Guangnan and Wu Xinyi on the side looking at him, Li Dongling smiled and said, "I heard that there is an Internet wave in America's Silicon Valley recently, and the leader is the one established just last year. A company called Netscape is applying to be listed on Nasdaq this year and is likely to complete its listing this year!

This Netscape is the company invested by Jim Clark, the founder of Silicon Graphics. Once listed successfully, they will all become billionaires! "

Jim Clark is the founder of Silicon Graphics. This company built the first stand-alone workstation and produced special effects for Hollywood movies such as "Jurassic Park" and "Forrest Gump". Its annual revenue exceeds four Billion dollars.

The per capita salary in the country is only what it is now, but in America, it only takes one year for a person to go from a poor boy to a billionaire. If this spreads to the country, I don’t know how much madness it will cause. The Internet is so attractive. Eyeballs, even people who are not interested in money, can they remain indifferent when faced with hundreds of millions of dollars? !

Thinking of Netscape, Li Dongling couldn't help but sigh. When it comes to cutting leeks, Americans still know how to do it. Netscape, which was founded one year ago, can complete the listing, then concoct a technological genius, and then concoct the miracle of Netscape's stock price, which is enough to attract people. People all over the world are hyping Silicon Valley Internet companies, and then they are cutting leeks...

After hearing this, Li Dongling nodded noncommittally, and then said decisively, "Then buy the chip architecture from Maples!"

"In addition, Mesip's chip architecture licensing fees are quite expensive!" Ni Guangnan also said, which is equivalent to being vaccinated in advance. It is expected that at least several million US dollars in licensing fees will be charged.

Li Dongling didn't explain too much, just laughed. Now Dongxin Semiconductor is still just getting started. It's too early to talk about that. But if one day, it comes time to challenge Intel, AMD and the like, then it will definitely If we need to recruit troops, companies like Mesip are determined to win!

"As long as Dongxin Semiconductor's computer processor can be successfully developed and sold commercially in the future, then maybe one day Dongxin Semiconductor can also acquire Mesip!"

Mesip is one of the few manufacturers that has survived and developed its own chip architecture. It is still very prosperous now. It produces its own chips and also licenses chip designs to other manufacturers.

It is now the most convenient way to obtain the chip architecture from Mesipu and use it to develop Dongxin Semiconductor's own chip processor. It is much better than developing it in the dark on your own.

Netscape will set off an Internet craze, and Li Dongling is also preparing to package Feiyan and send it to Nasdaq, so that the first Chinese Internet concept stock company will appear on Nasdaq. It cannot be such a big piece of leek garden. , Americans can cut it, but Li Dongling can't, is there any natural reason?

Skipping the conversation, Li Dongling asked, "How does MPS's MIPS chip architecture compare to Intel's X86 architecture?!"

Jim Clark, who left Silicon Graphics, teamed up with another technician to invest in Netscape, the current darling of Silicon Valley!

But just like Gang Leader Qiao who was kicked out of Apple, Silicon Graphics also introduced venture capital firms in order to develop. However, when Silicon Graphics developed, Jim Clark, the founder, came into being with venture capital firms and Wall Street institutions. Even when there is a conflict, he will still be kicked out!

I heard from Li Dongling that a new company that was only established last year may go public this year, and the valuation is still quite high. Once the listing is completed, Netscape executives will become billionaires, and tens of millions of dollars. Ni Guangnan, Huang Lingyi, Wu Xinyi Everyone was dumbfounded, as if they had heard a book from heaven, which completely subverted their imagination.

In the 86s, there were a lot of chip manufacturers, all using chip architectures designed by themselves. After Intel launched X, everything changed and almost wiped out other chip manufacturers.

Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi left directly after talking to Li Dongling. Their thoughts were all on research and development. If Li Dongling hadn't come over today, they would have definitely stayed in the laboratory and wouldn't have wasted time at all.

"It's not as good as Intel's X86 architecture, but we have no choice. The chip architecture is no better than it was in the s, and we don't have much choice." Huang Lingyi sighed.

Other companies that cannot get help from Intel's X86 architecture, including Toshiba, Sony, Cisco, Infineon and others, are also cooperating with MSP.

Hearing these "big words", Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi couldn't help but smile bitterly. They haven't even seen the shadow of the processor yet. What about acquiring Mesip and letting those foreign guys work for Dongxin Semiconductor? They just Li Dongling was just joking.

After the two left, Li Dongling looked at Wu Xinyi and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Dongxin Semiconductor!"

Hearing this, even Wu Xinyi, a veteran in the industry, couldn't help but feel a little confused. He, the head of Dongxin Semiconductor, was not that easy to do, and he almost got the blame from both sides.

Dongling Hi-Tech has been urging Dongxin Semiconductor to develop various chips needed, while Ni Guangnan wants to develop computer chips. He has to coordinate the relationship between the two parties and is also responsible for raising funds. The entire internal and external affairs of Dongxin Semiconductor are all involved. It was pressed against him. "These are all things I should do!" Wu Xinyi said.

Li Dongling nodded. He didn't give Wu Xinyi any poisonous chicken soup. Wu Xinyi, who had seen big winds and waves, didn't accept that trick at all. Back then, Huajing's pie was even bigger than Li Dongling's, and the result was that it wasn't all over the place. Chicken feathers made people like Wu Xinyi leave one after another.

"Academician Ni and Professor Huang, you still have to be more careful. In addition, other projects, mainly the chips for PHS phones, must be successfully developed this year. This year's research and development and sales cannot be delayed!"

Li Dongling looked at Wu Xinyi and said. When he heard this, Wu Xinyi had a little helplessness on his face. He knew that this job was not easy, but he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

"This year, your salary and benefits will be the same as those of the department managers at Donglin Hi-Tech Headquarters, and you can get bonuses, year-end bonuses, etc.!"

Wu Xinyi, who had looked a little sad just now, couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

Dongxin Semiconductor, which is still losing money, is destined to be unable to compare with Dongling Hi-Tech Headquarters in the short term. If Wu Xinyi gets the same treatment as Ren Yuefeng, Hu Xian, Zhang Ao and others, it means that he can get it in the future. The equity rewarded by Dongxin Semiconductor, the annual salary plus bonuses, you can get a salary package of more than one million yuan a year!

With such a salary package, it's nothing to be a cow or a horse. Wu Xinyi has no dissatisfaction anymore. If he didn't do so much work, he would feel sorry for the bonus given by Li Dongling!

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely guarantee that the chip for PHS mobile phones will be successfully developed this year!" Wu Xinyi issued a military order to Li Dongling.

After handling these matters, Li Dongling was about to leave. This time Li Dongling came here mainly to reward the Sirius project team and give out another bonus. In addition, he met with Huang Lingyi and other technical experts. With their presence, Dongxin Semiconductor's project was successful. The rate has increased several times.

However, just as Li Dongling was about to leave, news suddenly came from the lithography machine and Li Dongling came to the top floor.

Dongxin Semiconductor's lithography machine project has been kept secret and has not been promoted with great fanfare. Before entering the laboratory, there are security personnel and access control. After passing several levels of checkpoints, you can enter.

"Mr. Li!"

When Li Dongling entered, three chief engineers, Zhou Shi, Zhang Shiying, and Wang Xia, who were responsible for the Dongxin semiconductor lithography machine project, were already waiting there.

Looking at Zhou Shi with a smile on his face, Li Dongling couldn't help but say, "It seems that Chief Engineer Zhou has good news to tell you!"

"That's good news!"

Zhou Shi took Li Dongling directly to the laboratory, where many technicians wearing dustproof suits were busy.

Looking at the large machine that appeared in front of him, Li Dongling couldn't help but asked Zhou Shi, "Have you made it?!"

“It’s not a success yet, but we can indeed experimentally produce 450-nanometer chips!”

What is in front of Li Dongling is a 450-nanometer lithography machine. Although it is only a laboratory product and is far inferior to Nikon's most advanced 250-nanometer lithography machine, it is still the most advanced lithography machine in China. Machines, what Shougang is introducing now is only a -nanometer production line.

This is definitely an unexpected surprise. Li Dongling really didn't expect that Zhou Shi and the others would really advance the lithography machine to 450 nanometers.

"However, many parts of this machine are purchased from abroad, especially from Japan Benzene. I'm afraid it will take a long time before it leaves the laboratory!" Zhou Shi said honestly to Li Dongling.

The products of the laboratory are experimental products after all. Performance, reliability, product yield, etc. are all problems. It may take as short as half a year or as long as several years to get out of the laboratory.

"After all, it's been developed, isn't it?!" Li Dongling said to Zhou Shi and others.

After coming out of Dongxin Semiconductor and driving towards the outside, Li Dongling took a deep breath and looked at the slightly old houses on both sides of the road. He could see a lot of fields.

Li Dongling wonders whether a high-tech chip industry cluster will be born in the area where Dongxin Semiconductor is located in the future. Countless chip manufacturers and high-paying practitioners will gather here, making it the most technologically advanced place in mainland China and the most expensive land in the provincial capital. area……
