Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 266 Dad in the Internet Industry
On April 17, Xu Shenxue appeared in Jiangcheng and inspected the Jiangcheng production base of Weiyun Microelectronics.

The purpose of his trip was very simple, which was to check the production status of the new generation of mobile low-voltage memory LPDDR3 and the new generation of 3D NAND flash memory.

Because these two chips are also core components in the S13 mobile phone.

After the special plane arrived in Jiangcheng, Xu Shenxue quietly left the airport through a special channel as he did in the past, and did not appear at the airport in a swagger like those so-called stars to attract onlookers.

However, on the way out of the airport, the convoy of more than ten vehicles was still very eye-catching. Anyone who saw it knew that some important person must have come to Jiangcheng.

It is impossible for an ordinary businessman to carry a large security team wherever he goes.

Xu Shenxue’s current status and identity is very special, even beyond the scope of ordinary businessmen.

He is the God of Wealth in the eyes of many places, the stabilizer in the eyes of many industries, and the leader in leading China's high-tech field to the world in the eyes of many ordinary people.

His safety issue is not only of concern to him, but also to many stakeholders.

So his security team is also very large and professional.

After the huge convoy arrived at the headquarters building of Jiangcheng Zhiyun Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhiyun Group, Xu Shenxue held talks with local representatives as usual, and then inspected the Jiangcheng production base accompanied by senior executives from many branches.

"Our memory manufacturing process has already broken through the 3-nanometer process at the end of last year. This process has reached the world's first-class level, allowing us to produce more advanced memory particles, including LPDDR particles!"

During the visit, Zhu Hongwei, general manager of Jiangcheng Branch, picked up a small memory chip and said to Xu Shenxue: "This is our LPDDR3 memory chip produced using the -nanometer process. The overall performance and power consumption have been greatly improved compared to the memory produced using the -nanometer process."

"At the same time, we have also started to produce the group's ordinary DDR3 memory using the -nanometer process, which has better performance and lower power consumption!"

"In addition, we are also trying to use this process to produce more advanced DDR4 memory, which has been produced in small quantities and used in the group's servers, workstations and supercomputers!"

"Our 25-nanometer process has already begun to manufacture all kinds of advanced memory within the group. However, the yield and efficiency are still relatively low, and the overall cost is relatively high. It can only be used in high-end fields!"

"The main large-scale production is still based on our more mature 3-nanometer process, mainly for mid-range DDR2 memory and LPDDR memory. At the same time, we continue to use the -nanometer process to produce some low-end memory."

In the memory field, it is not only the most advanced DDR4 desktop/server memory and mobile LPDDR3 memory that have a market. In fact, the current mainstream market is still ordinary DDR3 memory and mobile LPDDR2 memory.

Even lower-end, older-style memory has a sizable market.

Taking the field of mobile phone memory as an example, the mobile phones that are currently eligible to use LPDDR3 memory are all high-end flagship phones of various brands. Even in Zhiyun Group, only the new S series and A series are prepared to adopt this specification of memory, while the C series will continue to use LPDDR2 memory.

The situation is similar for other mobile phone manufacturers.

Therefore, although LPDDR2 seems to be lagging behind, it is actually still the mainstream in the market. Zhiyun Semiconductor's current shipments of this kind of ordinary mobile memory are very large.

But at the same time, the memory field is quite special. There are very few mainstream players in the market, only a few of them. These memory manufacturers basically have their own chip factories. Even if they do not have corresponding internal factories, they will look for some professional foundries such as TSMC and Six Star, and basically will not look for Zhiyun Microelectronics for foundry.

This also means that Zhiyun Microelectronics' Jiangcheng production base mainly undertakes OEM for internal orders of the group and rarely receives external memory OEM orders.

The situation is similar in the flash memory field. There are basically no external foundry orders... because there are few mainstream flash memory players in the market, and even fewer playing 3D NAND.

Unlike logic chips, auxiliary/functional chips have a large number of external foundry orders.

However, even so, the annual shipment volume of the Jiangcheng production base is actually very large, basically accounting for about 20% of the global memory production and about 15% of the global flash memory production.

The memory and flash memory produced by the Jiangcheng production base are even about to monopolize the domestic mobile phone market and are rapidly swallowing up the domestic PC market.

The locals in Jiangcheng claim that they are the storage capital, and there is absolutely no problem with that.

If any problems arise at the Zhiyun Microelectronics production base in Jiangcheng, it will really affect the supply of memory and flash memory across the country and even the world.

The reason why Jiangcheng's memory and flash memory shipments are so huge is undoubtedly due to the strong pull of Zhiyun Group and Weiku Electronics' huge smart terminals.

There are hundreds of millions of smart terminal devices every year, including various mobile phones, tablets, PCs and various smart terminal products. The combined demand for memory and flash memory is extremely huge.

The demands of these two super-large enterprises under Xu Shenxue alone are enough to make Zhiyun Semiconductor one of the top three chip design companies in the world, and Zhiyun Microelectronics one of the top five chip manufacturing companies in the world.

Not to mention, a large number of domestic mobile phone manufacturers and PC manufacturers will basically use Zhiyun Semiconductor's chip products if they can due to factors such as price and tariffs... There is no special reason, it's just because of the price.

This part has brought about extremely huge demand for chips, allowing the semiconductor design and manufacturing industry under Zhiyun Group to develop rapidly.

So today's Zhiyun Group is not just a smart terminal company, but a super-large giant enterprise spanning the fields of smart terminals, semiconductor design and manufacturing.

It carries all the hopes of China's high-tech field!
Countless domestic companies and even industries are eagerly looking forward to the strong driving force of Zhiyun Group.

The same is true in the storage field.

In pursuit of top-level memory and flash memory, Zhiyun Group has invested heavily in the design and development of memory and flash memory. It has also spent a huge amount of money to build and expand the Jiangcheng production base, and has pushed the memory production process to the level of 3 nanometers. At the same time, it has developed D NAND flash memory that is comparable to Samsung.

These advanced technologies and products are certainly developed by Zhiyun to meet its own needs, but other domestic smart terminal equipment manufacturers can also take advantage of them and use relatively cheap memory and flash memory products.

This also gives these manufacturers certain advantages when their smart terminal products compete overseas. At least the core components do not need to be imported, so a large part of the hardware costs can be saved.

After taking a quick look at the memory production line, we went to the next door Factory No. 3 to see the D NAND flash memory production line.

"This year, the number of layers of flash memory we manufactured has reached 48, which has greatly increased the capacity of flash memory and further reduced power consumption."

"After stacking multiple flash memory chips, 128GB of flash memory can be installed in a very small size, which is also the large-capacity version of this year's S13 mobile phone."

Xu Shenxue naturally knew that this year's S13 mobile phone will launch a 128GB large-capacity version to the market.

This is not an easy thing to do... It's not that flash memory particles are too expensive to use, but flash memory particles also have a size. In the past, the capacity of a single flash memory particle was small. If you want to achieve a capacity of 128G, the volume will become relatively large, which is very difficult to achieve for mobile phones where every inch of internal space is valuable.

Therefore, even last year, Zhiyun's S12 mobile phone only had a capacity of 64GB.

This year, thanks to further breakthroughs in 3D NAND technology, the S13 phone is able to achieve a capacity of 128GB.

The S13 mobile phone, as a smart terminal product, has many seemingly insignificant and simple parameter improvements, which often represent the progress of underlying industrial technology, especially semiconductor technology.

The increasing computing power is due to the continuous improvement of the manufacturing process.

The memory is getting bigger and bigger, from 512MB to 1GB and even 2GB of running memory. Behind this is the continuous improvement of memory manufacturing process technology, from nanometers to nanometers, and then to the current nanometers.

The same is true for flash memory, which has increased from 64GB to 128GB. This is due to the further breakthrough of Zhiyun Microelectronics' 3D NAND process.

Finally, many technological breakthroughs were summarized in the S13 mobile phone, which gave the S13 a comprehensive performance improvement compared to the previous generation S12 mobile phone.

Not just a little bit, but a doubling or even tripling of performance improvement.

After a brief inspection of the production line, Xu Shenxue gave a brief speech in the company's conference room to a large number of company executives and core technical backbones, focusing on encouragement and motivation.

After encouraging the staff of the Jiangcheng branch, Xu Shenxue did not stay in Jiangcheng for long. He left Jiangcheng on a special plane the next day and then rushed to Hangzhou.

Here is Huaxing Technology's new generation screen production base. This newly-commissioned advanced factory has a total investment of more than one billion US dollars and is equipped with the most advanced screen production line. It is mainly used to produce the current top-level LCD screens, such as the large-size reticle screens used in the S series and A series.

In order to compete for the implementation of this key project, the local government offered very good conditions. After weighing various factors, Huaxing Technology finally selected this place as the location for its new generation of screen factory.

The factory started small-scale production at the end of last year. After its production capacity gradually increases, its planned production capacity will not be much worse than that of Huaxing Technology's Shenzhen production base.

Here, Xu Shenxue saw the world's top-notch screen production line and also saw many foreign engineers.

Huaxing Technology is a joint venture of multiple companies. In addition to Chinese employees, there are also many Japanese and Korean employees.

However, this is nothing for Zhiyun Group. There are many foreign employees in Zhiyun Group, and there are many foreign engineers in its overseas R&D centers in Europe, Silicon Valley, Singapore and other places.

In the field of screens, the technology of these joint ventures is indeed good, and LG and Sharp are old partners of Zhiyun Technology. The cooperation over the years has always been very stable and good.

At the same time, as the mobile phone businesses of these two companies collapsed, they also paid more attention to the screen business and attached more importance to their two core customers, Zhiyun Group and Wecoo Electronics.

To this end, it did not hesitate to invest together with Zhiyun Group, provide technology and personnel, and jointly established Huaxing Technology with TEC, a major domestic screen company.

Later, four-star hotels also squeezed in for market share.

In this way, Huaxing Technology has brought together four major screen manufacturers and Zhiyun Group, so everyone is eating from the same pot and the relationship is quite harmonious.

Of course, the main reason is that Zhiyun Group is too strong. Huaxing Technology is also controlled by Zhiyun Group, and Huaxing Technology’s main customers are Zhiyun Group and Weiku Electronics.

If you don't listen to Xu Shenxue and want to cause trouble in Huaxing Technology, Xu Shenxue will not tolerate you.

If you want to get in and share the cake, you have to work hard, otherwise you will not have a share in this huge screen market.

In this production base, Xu Shenxue took a walk around as usual and then saw the top-level screens they had just produced.

A 5.5-inch high-end video model screen.

A Korean engineer said in a somewhat lame but proud tone: "This is the latest generation of LCD screen developed by our company. Its overall technical level has surpassed other manufacturers' competing products of the same specification."

"In the field of LCD screens, our Huaxing Technology is undoubtedly the world's number one!"

Xu Shenxue looked at this screen and felt a lot in his heart.

In order to compete for the hundreds of millions of screen orders from Zhiyun and Weiku Electronics every year, the three major screen manufacturers, Sharp, LG and Samsung, have brought out their best skills.

Then the technologies and patents of various companies were integrated together to produce this top-level LCD screen.

To be honest, the technical level of this LCD screen is much better than the LCD screens they each produce.

At this time, Feng Hongzhuo, general manager of Huaxing Technology, said: "Because our high-end LCD screens are of excellent quality and have certain cost advantages, Apple is currently negotiating with us and is preparing to use our company's screens in the next generation of flagship phones."

As he spoke, Feng Hongzhuo was still a little worried. After all, Zhiyun Group and Fruit were mortal rivals, fighting for their lives on a global scale!
Unlike Sixing, because Sixing's high-end mobile phone business is in decline, the competition with Zhiyun is not that great. Therefore, the obstacles to cooperation between Zhiyun and Sixing in various aspects are not that great.

But as for Fruit, it is really competing in all aspects, from mobile phones to tablets, to notebooks and smart watches... Yes, Fruit also launched a smart sports watch at the beginning of this year, specifically to compete with Zhiyun.

Therefore, the competitive relationship between Fruit and Zhiyun is comprehensive.

Although Huaxing Technology is a joint venture among multiple parties, Zhiyun Group is the controlling party. If Zhiyun Group does not agree, Huaxing Technology will not be able to supply fruits.

However, Xu Shenxue said, "This is a good thing. Fruit has at least 100 to 200 million high-end screen shipments every year. It would be great if we could get the order!"

"Whether it's cooperating with fruit or other companies, we don't have to worry too much. We dare to sell core products such as SOC chips and communication basebands, so the main screen can naturally be sold as well."

"Talk boldly!"

Competition is competition, but cooperation is still necessary. At least Apple ships 100 to 200 million high-end screens every year, and Xu Shenxue also wants to take it over after seeing it.

After all, if you don't take it down, other screen manufacturers will... You can't expect that if Huaxing Technology stops supplying, Apple will have no screens to use.

Impossible!
After hearing what Xu Shenxue said, representatives of several other screen manufacturers felt mixed emotions.

On the one hand, they think it would be a good thing if Huaxing Technology could get the fruit order. After all, they also have a considerable stake in Huaxing Technology and can also reap some of the benefits.

However, if Huaxing Technology wins the fruit order, then the screen companies of their respective parent companies will not be able to get the order.

However, even if Huaxing Technology fails to get the order, the other companies cannot be sure that they will get the order. Sixin, LG and Sharp have been competing for fruit orders, and no one dares to guarantee a sure win... What if Huaxing Technology fails to get the order and the order is taken by its competitors at the same time, then wouldn't they lose out on both ends and not get a penny?
Therefore, they have complicated feelings about Huaxing Technology winning the fruit order.

After visiting the Hangzhou production base of Huaxing Technology, Xu Shenxue also attended a national mobile Internet development forum, but it was not very interesting...

Many people have to say something like thanking Xu Shenxue before speaking on stage!

Something like thank you to Xu Shenxue for his various contributions to the development of mobile Internet.

There is no other way. In this kind of situation, Xu Shenxue is their 'father' and they have to thank him... Liuhe Investment, owned by Xu Shenxue, has invested heavily in domestic Internet companies, and basically everyone who can get involved has participated.

The taxi-hailing market is currently in full swing and has exploded, but Xu Shenxue's Liuhe Investment has participated in the angel rounds, A rounds and even B rounds of several taxi-hailing companies.

Liuhe Investment, which owns many other Internet companies, is also involved.

The Liuhe Internet Investment Fund under the current Liuhe Investment Co., Ltd. is actually the largest Internet investment fund in China with the most participating projects, with an operating capital of more than 15 billion US dollars. Most of these funds come from Xu Shenxue’s own funds, some from the Xu family fund, and some from some partners and other domestic wealthy people.

Liuhe Internet Investment Fund has participated in almost all the financing projects of important domestic Internet companies in the past two to three years.

Including most of the Internet companies currently participating in the conference...

At the same time, in the current domestic mobile Internet, who controls the largest traffic entrance?
Zhiyun Mall Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Zhiyun Group.

It has three system built-in mall channels, namely Zhiyun APP Mall, Xiaolan and Weiku system application mall, and the sales and inventory of mobile phones of these three brands account for half of the domestic market.

In other words, Zhiyun Mall controls half of the domestic mobile Internet software distribution channels.

At the same time, users of the Yun OS system are better in the ability to recharge and consume, and basically account for about 80% of the total consumption of mobile Internet users.

Domestic software developers, and even some mobile game development companies, basically develop the Yun OS system version first when developing software or games, then put it on the Zhiyun Mall channel, and then slowly push it to other Android channels and IOS channels.

For no other reason than that Zhiyun channel can make money!
Many software developers, especially mobile game companies, rely on Zhiyun channels for their revenue.

A considerable portion of the revenue from these mobile Internet fields goes to Zhiyun as channel fees.

So there is a saying in the current domestic mobile Internet: there is a fruit tax abroad, and there is a smart cloud tax in China...

In China, even the so-called BTA Internet giants cannot bypass Zhiyun Mall in the mobile Internet industry, and must pay Zhiyun channel fees. However, it is worth mentioning that although the total amount of these so-called channel fees seems to be quite large, about several billion US dollars per year, this amount of money is not even a fraction of the huge Zhiyun Group.

And these billions of dollars refer to global revenue.

If it is domestic, it will be even less.

Someone has calculated that this year's mobile Internet market is only about 100 billion yuan, which is equivalent to more than 10 billion US dollars.

This is still referring to the total market capacity. If it is broken down into the recharge area where money can be shared, it will be even less.

The mobile Internet business of Zhiyun Group, that is, the mall channel business, has a revenue of only about 10 billion US dollars in the domestic market.

Throughout the year, Xu Shenxue basically never asked about the revenue of Zhiyun Mall... There was no point in asking, why would he ask when the revenue was just that little.

Not to mention Xu Shenxue, even the senior executives of Zhiyun Group don’t care much about this revenue.

Zhiyun Group's annual revenue is more than 200 billion US dollars, and its annual net profit is more than 50 billion US dollars...

With this data comparison, you can understand how boring it was for Xu Shenxue to attend this so-called mobile Internet conference and watch a group of so-called Internet giants bragging.

From Xu Shenxue's perspective, a group of Internet companies with revenues of only a few billion dollars or even less are just like little kids playing house.

Most of the Internet companies present here don’t make as much as he does from selling data cables…

In the past year, the various accessory businesses within Zhiyun Group, mainly data cables, wired headphones, mobile phone cases, tablet computer cases, Bluetooth keyboards, and wire interface technology licensing, have generated total revenue of more than 5 billion US dollars.

These spare parts businesses have average revenue in China, but have better patent protection abroad. People are used to buying genuine spare parts. At the same time, spare parts in foreign markets are more expensive.

Therefore, Zhiyun Group's overall revenue from spare parts is very good.

Zhiyun can generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue just by selling equipment accessories, which is higher than the revenue of most of the Internet companies present.

The size gap between Zhiyun and these Internet companies is too big...

If Xu Shenxue had not been invited by an official representative, he would never have attended a forum meeting of this level. However, since the official representative invited him personally and it happened to be on his way, he had no choice but to attend.

But he only showed up on the opening day, said a few words briefly and then ran away.

The official representative's face has already been given, so there is no need to waste time going forward.

Besides, with Xu Shenxue here, other entrepreneurs all feel very reserved and uncomfortable.

Bragging in front of the world's richest man, the boss of the world's largest high-tech company... Even many entrepreneurs are very thick-skinned people, but they don't have this mentality.

If Xu Shenxue smiled even slightly in the audience, you would have to wonder if he was laughing at you...

Of course, Zhiyun Group would definitely send someone to attend this kind of meeting, but it would not be Xu Shenxue, or even a senior vice president of the group like Ji Chenghe.

At most, we can send a vice president in charge of Internet business.

Zhiyun Group is at a different level from these domestic Internet companies...

After leaving Shanghai, Xu Shenxue did not take a special plane, but drove directly to the neighboring Shanghai to inspect the local branch.

Zhiyun has a large layout in Shanghai, where it has a large-scale R&D center and a large chip production base, and has about 10,000 employees locally.

Therefore, Xu Shenxue will also take a walk here to see the development of the subsidiary.

Immediately afterwards, he took a special plane to Beijing for inspection. The situation in Beijing was similar to that in Shanghai, mainly the R&D center.

After inspecting his own company, Xu Shenxue also attended a few days of seminars. There were very few people attending the meetings, and the topics discussed were much more sophisticated than the Internet issues he had discussed before in Hangzhou.

The topics mainly involve semiconductor design and manufacturing fields as well as ecological fields such as computers and servers.

At the conference, Xu Shenxue mostly acted as a technology introducer, introducing in detail to the participants the technological developments in China or in these fields of Zhiyun.

The focus was on introducing Zhiyun Group's technological progress in the field of semiconductor design and manufacturing. It also focused on introducing the technological progress in semiconductor manufacturing equipment such as lithography machines and etching machines under Xiannvshan Holdings, as well as consumables such as photoresists and special gases.

"At present, the DUV dry lithography machines we produce have been fully used in Zhiyun Microelectronics' chip production factory. Although there is some gap in overall production efficiency and cost control compared with similar foreign products, by reducing equipment procurement costs, consumables costs and especially maintenance costs, it is enough to make the integration cost of the chip factory comparable to that of foreign imported products!"

"According to our plan, we will be able to independently control 80% of the key equipment and consumables on the 65-nanometer process production line next year!"

"Within three years, we expect to be able to achieve complete independent control of the 65-nanometer process!"

"At the same time, we are also developing a production line for 45 nanometers and below, with DUV immersion lithography as the core. We have achieved certain technological breakthroughs in DUV immersion lithography. The major key core subsystems have solved the basic technical problems. We are currently in the process of system integration and detail processing. My technical team has promised me that the first prototype will be available for testing by the middle of next year!"

"The development of the supporting etching machines, ion implanters and many other core equipment has been slow or fast, but we can probably complete the technical accumulation and gradual improvement within two to three years. Optimistically speaking, in about 15 years, we will be able to initially establish a 16-nanometer production line with the support of some imported equipment and consumables, and it is estimated that we will be able to achieve independent control in about years!"

"And by continuing to extend this set of equipment, we will be able to meet the needs of more advanced 28-nanometer processes, 22-nanometer processes, and even 14-nanometer processes!"

"After all, processes below 28 nanometers are basically equivalent processes. Although the requirements for equipment are higher, there is not much difference in essence."

"The 3-nanometer D transistor process research currently being carried out in my chip factory is also based on the existing equipment production line!"

"As for the more advanced EUV lithography machines, that is, the production line research below 14 nanometers, we are still in the technical demonstration stage. We have achieved some technical results on the core light source problem and obtained some technical information from the outside world. However, it is very difficult to replicate it in China. In this regard, we still need more support, especially in the field of basic materials and precision equipment!"

"My technical team told me that if everything goes well and there are sufficient resources, they are confident that they can solve the problem within eight to ten years."

"According to this schedule, and referring to the current stagnation and lag of EUV lithography equipment production and research and development abroad, which is at least three years behind schedule, we will certainly face pressure to catch up, but there is still hope!"

The reason why the EUV lithography machine project abroad was delayed is naturally because of the obstruction of Zhiyun Group.

Until now, Zhiyun Group has not given up the plan to obtain the EUV lithography machine... Xu Shenxue doesn't care about any sanctions or agreements, he only knows... other companies can use this EUV lithography machine, but I can't?
What a joke, only your money can kill people, but my money can’t, right?
No EUV lithography machine? Then the project will be delayed! No one will use it.

Therefore, the core laboratories of ASML, the supplier of their light source systems, had been bombed before, and most of the test data and engineers were destroyed.

ASML of the Netherlands was able to take over the project within three years and continue to promote technological progress. That's awesome of them...

Of course, this is not the credit of Zhiyun alone; several American chip manufacturers such as Intel also made significant contributions.

Who made ASML favor Samsung and TSMC... As a result, Intel can't get the latest EUV lithography machine. This is unacceptable, so several chip manufacturers thought about it and directly cut off ASML's light source.

Later, ASML obeyed obediently and was forced to accept investment from Intel and other manufacturers.

However, Zhiyun Group’s request for a stake was rejected…and then another fire broke out at a factory of an ASML parts supplier in Eastern Europe.

This incident was not made public, and ordinary people only saw it as an ordinary fire, but very few people in the industry basically knew that it was done by those crazy people at Zhiyun.

Later, ASML was ready to give in and wanted to agree to Zhiyun's investment, but Intel, TSMC, Sixin and other companies joined forces to oppose it.

There’s no way, just stay in this stalemate!

Zhiyun Group has a very tough attitude in this regard. If you don’t sell me EUV lithography machines, then the rest of the world won’t be able to use them.

However, other chip manufacturers also have a tough attitude. Even if the last ASML engineer dies, they will not sell it to you Zhiyun!

Only ASML is caught in the middle and feels very uncomfortable... When major chip manufacturers fight, the only one who gets hurt is ASML!

But there is nothing we can do when we are caught in the middle. We can only wait for these multinational giants to reach an agreement on the matter. They don’t have the decision-making power anyway, otherwise we may easily encounter various accidents.

The business competition between multinational giants is not as simple as quarreling and cursing... Especially for multinational giants like Zhiyun who don’t follow the rules, rely on unspoken rules, and are rich nouveau riche.

It's fine if you compete fairly with him, but if you lose it's just because you are not as skilled as him, Zhiyun has to admit defeat.

But if you play something outside the rules with Zhiyun, they really dare to burn down your factory, blow up your laboratory, and launch rockets at your villa!
Therefore, many super-rich people and heads of large enterprises actually have quite some opinions about the work attitude of Zhiyun and his group.

It's the 21st century already, and you're still playing those 19th century tricks!
Not decent at all!
----

The symposium was not just about semiconductor equipment. Xu Shenxue also brought a lot of good things this time.

Among them was the Pangu computer, and he demonstrated it to them personally.

"This is a purely self-controlled computer system developed by our company. From the CPU to the screen and other hardware products, all are domestic products. The operating system is the YunLPC OS system developed by us, a system that is deeply improved based on the LINUX open source system."

"We are also working with various institutions and enterprises to adapt and optimize various software. We estimate that by September, we will be able to complete the commercial development of this system and bring it to the market!"

Many people are still quite interested in this computer and are even looking forward to it.

This is directly related to security issues and is a very serious matter, otherwise the task would not have been specifically assigned to Xu Shenxue two years ago.

Now Xu Shenxue has lived up to expectations and has completely produced a fully domestically produced computer system, which will have a huge impact on subsequent security issues.

"At the same time, we have also responded to the call. Through self-research and joint research with other domestic software vendors, we are gradually developing and replacing some important software systems, especially various software required for servers and databases, as well as some important commercial software, such as EDA software required in the field of chip design."

"The cloud EDA software developed by our company's Zhiyun Software Company has begun to be used in our design department and chip factory!"

EDA software in the field of chip design is actually quite special. It is not just a simple software design issue. It also requires the cooperation of equipment manufacturers such as lithography machines and chip factories.

Because the lithography machine must support your EDA software, you can import the corresponding design data into it and then produce it.

If the lithography machine does not support your EDA software, what's the point of playing with chip design EDA?

As for Xu Shenxue, he is able to use his own chip design EDA software under the full industrial chain model because he has his own semiconductor equipment such as lithography machines, as well as his own semiconductor design companies and production factories.

Without the cooperation of lithography machine manufacturers and chip foundry manufacturers, it is actually very difficult to develop chip EDA software.

----

After the symposium, Xu Shenxue basically introduced some technological advances made by the important companies under Duozhiyun Group, Xiannvshan Holdings and Liuhe Investment in the past year.

And in the end, it is inevitable to cry about various difficulties and seek various supports...

Of course, this kind of support cannot be reflected in funds. If there is too little money, it will be useless, but if there is too much money, it cannot be taken out... The scale of the three system companies, Zhiyun, Xiannvshan and Liuhe Investment, is too large. If they need financial support, it will start with tens of billions of US dollars.

It’s difficult for others too!
What Xu Shenxue wanted was not money, but various policies and some support in terms of talent.

Many of the things that Xu Shenxue is doing actually involve the level of the entire industrial system. They cannot be accomplished by just a few companies. They require a large number of companies and research institutions in the industrial system to work together.

However, they were already prepared for Xu Shenxue's intention!
Every time Xu Shenxue came to attend a symposium, he basically cried and complained, and then shamelessly asked for all kinds of support.

But basically they will be given.

Sometimes, even if Xu Shenxue didn't say anything and didn't want something, others would still force it on him... There was no other way. He was the only son in the family who worked in the semiconductor and consumer electronics industry chain. Who else could he give these few relevant resources to if not him?
Xu Shenxue, who received a lot of support, left the capital city refreshed. Before leaving, he promised that after Pangu computers were launched on the market, he would donate 300,000 Pangu computers to the education field, which would be donated to schools in backward areas for educational purposes.

The development of domestic computers must start from childhood!

In order to cultivate one's own ecological content, a donation worth only tens of billions is nothing.

After leaving the capital, Xu Shenxue returned to Shenzhen. After arriving in Shenzhen, Xu Shenxue went straight home and prepared to have dinner with Lin Yaxian.

Lin Yaxian has been pregnant for almost half a year now, and her belly has swelled like a balloon. In recent times, except for business trips, Xu Shenxue has basically gone home on time every day after work in Shenzhen and spent as much time as possible with her.

When I got home, I found that my sister Xu Weiwei had also come back for the weekend.

After the family finished dinner, Lin Yaxian took Xu Weiwei for a walk and planned to sit at the Lin family's house.

With nothing to do, Xu Shenxue simply went back to his study to continue working, and also held a brief high-level video conference.

When he went downstairs after the meeting, his sister and Lin Yaxian had already returned, and Lin's mother and his own mother also came. The three women were gossiping about something. Xu Shenxue walked closer and listened, and found out that it turned out that Lin Yaxian's second brother brought back a girlfriend who was in the entertainment industry today... This made Lin's parents very angry, and Lin's mother got furious on the spot and drove the people away.

Xu Shenxue didn't understand this. The second brother of the Lin family was a very smart man. He couldn't be unaware of the huge reaction his parents would have on this. He must be thinking along some ulterior motive.

Look, at this moment, Lin's mother is swearing: "Unless I die, he will never be able to bring those women into the house again in his life!"

In this regard, Xu Shenxue had no intention of getting involved in the gossip. After simply saying hello, he went back upstairs. It was someone else's family affair, and a private matter at that. He didn't want to get involved!
However, not long after going upstairs, the second brother of the Lin family called. On the phone, the second brother of the Lin family cried and complained that the Lin family's parents had kicked him out of the advertising company and stopped his financial support. Now he was penniless... and begged his brother-in-law Xu Shenxue to take him in.

He is not penniless. At least the second brother of the Lin family has a small treasury of 100 or 200 million yuan.

Although he said he was taking them in, in fact the second brother of the Lin family was planning to set up an entertainment company and officially enter the entertainment industry, and he came here to solicit investment and business.

Xu Shenxue estimated that the second brother of the Lin family was unhappy working in the family business. The Lin family's parents imposed various restrictions on him, and there was also an older brother above him who was in charge of the family's core business, so he deliberately did this.

The most likely reason is that he wants to break out and start his own business.

However, it was not convenient for him to get involved in this matter, and he had to wait and discuss it with Lin Yaxian before he could get a reply.

It's not about the money, but the fact that your parents-in-law just kicked their son out and you immediately invest in their son. If there is any conflict, it will be bad if you get into trouble.

After the people downstairs had gradually dispersed, Xu Shenxue told Lin Yaxian about this after she went upstairs.

Lin Yaxian thought for a while and then said, "Wait for me to ask my parents first, you can delay him for a few days."
