Reborn in 2010, the AI in my mind is too powerful.
Chapter 295 New Production Capacity
June 3rd marks just one week until Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.
Alan Mulally came to Chen Yiran's house, bringing with him a rather exquisite little gold snake.
Chen Yiran examined it for a moment, finding it quite exquisite: "Where did you buy it? The workmanship looks very good."
Alan Mulally said with great pride, "My son made it by hand! He's not very good at business, but he loves handicrafts. He's good at all kinds of handicrafts, and he's made quite a few pieces of jewelry for his mother before."
I originally wanted to buy Ping An a jade piece, but I don't know much about jade and I felt like I might get ripped off, so in the end I bought gold and let my son make one himself.
Chinese culture is so complex. I searched online for ages, and some people said that dragons symbolize peace, while others said it's a quail? It's so hard to understand. I really can't figure out why these two things can have the same meaning.
In the end, we decided to go with the traditional approach and follow the Chinese zodiac.
Chen Yiran nodded: "I'll put it on him when he's older. I don't dare put it on him now because he puts everything in his mouth, it's so annoying."
"Kids are like that, they'll get better as they grow up. Let's get down to business. I've been the CEO of Aurora for almost a year now, and finally I have something to sell! Things are looking great right now."
Chen Yiran opened a bottle of Coke and handed it over, then asked, "Did you reach an agreement?"
"GlobalFoundries' 28nm production capacity is about 1.5 wafers per month. Although it is only half of Samsung's, Samsung also needs to take into account the chip manufacturing for Apple and Samsung mobile phones."
GlobalFoundries actually has even more production capacity available for Mocha chips! And they have plenty of 30nm and 32nm production lines. I don't know much about this, but is this small difference a big problem? If it can be used, then production capacity could double.
"The difference is actually quite large. The transistor density can be twice as high, and the performance and power consumption can differ by 30% to 40%. However, when production capacity is insufficient, it can be used as a makeshift solution."
Another advantage is that it can serve as an effective supplement to other equipment. The wafer fabs in Beijing are already quite busy producing chips for Aocheng, and the pressure to make breakthroughs in 28-nanometer technology is also quite high.
Let's outsource some of the Ultron orders to GlobalFoundries; Ultron's growth is frighteningly fast.
The development of Aochuang was indeed something Chen Yiran had never expected. Before his rebirth, there were many related industry brands, but none of them had such a great brand effect.
Moreover, thanks to its relatively good relationship with both parties, Ultron has secured a large number of orders in states across the United States. Although many people have started to raise concerns about privacy rights, police departments have become staunch supporters of Ultron.
Early warning systems provided by various security systems have successfully saved the lives of many police officers.
In the United States, due to the proliferation of guns, even the smallest incident can escalate into a shootout between police and criminals. Ultron's system is currently somewhat of a black box; the police department doesn't actually know what information it's based on for its prompts.
If there is any indication, it proves that the other party is at least carrying a knife or a gun, so that the police can take precautions in advance and will not be attacked suddenly.
In reality, the US's claims about valuing privacy are just empty words. Later, as Chinese manufacturing became cheaper and cheaper, almost every wealthy American family installed several security cameras.
The density of surveillance cameras in wealthy neighborhoods is no less than in China. Only in slums does the government say it can't install them everywhere due to privacy concerns.
Now that timeframe has been moved forward, because Aurora has an exceptionally good relationship with H3C in China due to its previous acquisition of Uniview, and H3C is an extremely prominent player in the OEM industry.
They have very good relationships with a large number of small and medium-sized manufacturers in Shenzhen. As long as they have money, production volume is not a problem at all. They have completed more than 9% of Aochuang's orders with guaranteed quality and quantity.
They are currently in talks with HP, the parent company of H3C, hoping to acquire H3C.
Mulally also attached great importance to Ultron: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. I'm also following up on H3C, but it can't be settled so quickly. The main thing is that according to your future plans, we need to arrange the manufacturing in various locations."
Chen Yiran understood Mulally's meaning. Ultron was currently used by the police, so there wasn't a big problem. However, if it were to be purchased by the military or other entities in the future, it couldn't be made in China anymore. Therefore, the Singapore factory, which had higher costs, still couldn't be closed.
"You can make the decision. Bain has already presented the list. How are the negotiations going?"
Mulally said with some regret, "They're really ruthless. The price I quoted the FBI was ten times higher, and they didn't even try to negotiate. I feel like I asked for too little."
"That's normal. Do they have any additional requirements?"
"It's nothing, just provide them with all the necessary interfaces; they need to use their own network system."
Chen Yiran stopped paying attention to such trivial matters and instead inquired about United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) in Taiwan.
"How's the situation at UMC?"
"Technically, it has been confirmed that they have made a breakthrough. If we place an order with them, they will start updating their technology while producing. Their monthly output of 28-nanometer wafers could reach around 3 wafers in three months."
"I didn't ask about the technical aspects; I know they're quite capable technically. I asked about the equity structure—is there a chance?"
"The opportunity is huge! Their shareholding is extremely dispersed, and unlike TSMC, it doesn't have a fund from the Taiwanese puppet government as its largest single shareholder. Their board of directors has a lot of autonomy; they can buy as long as the price is right, without having to consider the puppet government's opinion."
Chen Yiran thought Mulally was very savvy, being very careful with his language when speaking. He was someone who wouldn't be afraid of being censored or harassed when writing a book in China.
"Then let's do it secretly. Who's the largest shareholder right now?"
"The global depositary receipts held by JPMorgan Chase are not Taiwanese capital. We don't know exactly who they are; we'll have to contact them."
"Then let's get started."
Mulally stood up, and before leaving, he hesitated a bit and said, "There's something else. I feel like we need to appease Wang Tao from DJI."
Although everything is going very well for the group right now, and the drones DJI is producing are already quite incredible, he seems to have sensed what you're planning, so he's not in a good state right now and is a bit panicked.
Chen Yiran was taken aback: "He told you himself?"
"Yes, when I was assigning them tasks, he mentioned it to me in a veiled way."
"Ah, why don't you come to me directly? Of all the companies, I value them the most. I personally designed their current transmission system and anti-interference system. I communicate with them every week. It's the project I've put the most effort into. Why don't you come to me directly when you have something to do?"
Mulally sat down again and said in a low voice, "To be honest, many people in the branch offices, especially the managers, are a little afraid of you."
"Ah, why are you afraid of me?"
"You really do look like the villainous big boss of a tech company from novels and TV dramas. Boss, isn't our company being a bit too aggressive?"
Chen Yiran thought about it for a moment. He had indeed changed a lot. When he was first reborn, he only wanted to work on technology in the United States and then return to China to develop his career.
He is now considering securing an important place among various factions.
"Just do as I ask. Don't worry about Wang Tao. Give him some time."
Mulally pondered for a few seconds and then laughed loudly, "Okay, actually I like it this way. I've spent my whole life in relatively traditional industries, but now with Aurora, it feels much more exciting. I'll finalize the order from Bahrain as soon as possible."
After Mulally left, Chen Yiran opened the design drawings on her computer and took a look.
[I think we're not wrong. Although Arasaka is the boss in Cyberpunk 2077, if given a choice, who would want to be the protagonist V, struggling to survive every day? Boss Arasaka has it much easier; he lived to be 158!]
"That makes sense. Let's set a small goal first: live to 160."

On June 11, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference was held in San Francisco, at the same venue as Google's conference a month earlier: the Moscone Center. However, Google has always used the West Hall, while Apple used the South Hall.
This time, Chen Yiran did not choose to be the last performer, but instead went on stage first and launched a fierce attack on Google's most important browser, Chrome, during the live broadcast.
