1991 Starting from the core

Chen Jing joins forces in Silicon Valley, and the other big guys at Yuanxin are not idle either.

In mid-November, Duan Yongping joined hands with Huo Jianning. As the CEO of Yuanxin and the president of Yuanxin Strategic Investment, the two went to Lyon to sign letters of intent with relevant departments and the local government. They also signed agreements with Xinghai Fund, Orange, and Al Carter formed the "Smart Valley" group and is committed to building a world-class technology industrial park in Lyon.

Su Yuanshan maintains frequent exchanges and visits in Southeast Asia and comprehensively promotes the construction of 3G networks in the region, especially in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Communication companies such as China Unicom, SK, Singtel, and HK Telecom are "battling" together and constantly With the introduction of various cheap and high-quality 3G packages, coupled with cheap 3G mobile phones such as Giant and Zhongxin, the growth of 3G users in Southeast Asia has begun to explode.

At the same time, as biased investment in Internet applications for 3G users began at the beginning of the year, a large number of websites and value-added services also followed. But in Su Yuanshan's view, this is still not enough. After all, the first factor in ecological construction is the user base. Without a user base, the so-called ecology is just a mirror image that has been "forcibly supported". The current explosion rate of mobile users is far from enough.

It can only be said that Yuanxin took down the opening of this drama first.

In addition, although Intel "tried" to re-capture the rhythm of technology in the PC field and sat down with Farcore to start negotiating the third generation I/O specification, the attitude of Farcore represented by Chen Jing was very clear, that is, this first version 1.0. I have to do it. I can listen to your opinion later...

——Such a decision was also made by Yuanxin after many considerations.

After all, Yuanxin is not the kind of "domineering" company either in its heart or in its performance. It is a company that is willing to make compromises for the development of technology and industry.

“It feels like my trip to Silicon Valley was in vain this time.”

In late November, on the third day after Chen Jing returned to the provincial capital, FarCore's fourth fiscal quarter executive director meeting was held as scheduled.

She stayed there for a month this time. Although she traveled on business, she also did some traveling, and she also returned to her alma mater as a successful person - and of course she made a donation.

At this time, she was presiding over the meeting and started today's topic with a self-deprecating sentence.

A group of people headed by Su Yuanshan hurriedly "flattered" him, saying that Mr. Chen was talking about something, thank you for your hard work, and so on.

"Haha, I really feel that way." Chen Jing crossed her legs, put her notebook and folder on her knees, and looked at everyone with a smile: "Look, first of all, our application to join the EUV Alliance was rejected again..."

As soon as they heard about the EUV Alliance, everyone was overjoyed.

——Yuanxin makes great efforts every year, and even applies to the EUV Alliance without shame, and often brings along Deyuan, Hongxin, a wafer factory, and a lithography machine company.

To be honest, it is a miracle that he is so thick-skinned.

"I suspect that the EUV Alliance already knows that we are deliberately disgusting them." Zhang Rujin held a teacup and looked like a good old man: "Last time I talked about this with my friends in Deyi, and they said it was incredible why we keep doing this. An attempt that is completely impossible to achieve."

"Let them float for a while first, and it will also make our friends in Ni country feel worried." Su Yuanshan smiled and took over the words: "Let's wait until next year."

"Well, let's talk next year." Zhang Rujin nodded with a smile.

At this time, Huo Jianning asked curiously: "Is there any technological breakthrough next year?"

Huo Jianning comes from a financial background and has been responsible for strategic investment direction since joining Yuexin, so he does not understand the development direction of technology. In other words, I don’t fully understand…

His understanding is that the Yuanxin system is too huge, involving almost the entire semiconductor and its derived fields, and these fields are in a period of rapid development, with new technologies and concepts emerging one after another...

This is indeed not something that an executive with a financial background can fully grasp.

This also illustrates how terrifying it is for someone who can sit here and speak in every field.

"Oh, the light source part is about to be implemented. Once the light source is implemented, we will be able to enter the absolute leading position in the field of lithography machines - and this time will be at least ten years."

"ten years?"

"Well, ten years." Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile. After thinking about it, he decided to explain it to Huo Jianning: "If we understand that the chip we are making now means carving with a carving knife, then everyone uses the same carving knife now. sizes and models, and everyone is trying to make smaller knives so they can carve finer details. But they haven't found it... and we're about to find it."

"As long as our immersion lithography technology can directly lead the process technology in the next ten years - by then, we can use our influence to abandon the EUV alliance and start a new one."

Huo Jianning blinked and gave a very vivid description: "Don't bully young people into being poor."

"Haha, yes!"

Seeing everyone finished chatting, Chen Jing coughed lightly and took back the topic: "Then let's continue the negotiation with Intel. We have no way of knowing the specific reasons behind Intel's change of attitude, but now it seems that this does not prevent us from dealing with it. processor promotion plan. After all, the new interface is just our strategic move against Intel, not the purpose."

"Next, I will briefly report to you the progress of processor promotion and the market performance following the release of Microsoft's new operating system WindowsXP."

As Chen Jing read out the data, everyone listened carefully.

After all, the promotion of processors is an all-out strategy set early this year.

In addition to the industry value of the processor itself, it also represents the status and identity of a chip company in the industry. A benchmark company like Yuanxin's desire for status and identity far exceeds that of ordinary companies.

Although this sounds very un-"quiet and far-reaching" and a bit like a "nouveau riche" mentality, it is face that must be fought for.

In order to promote the processor, Yuanxin has adopted a multi-pronged approach from advertising to marketing to comprehensive cooperation with system service providers and software developers.

Now that a few months have passed, the most immediate and expensive thing is of course advertising - not to mention domestic, you can see Along dual-core and its performance taking off wherever you go. Even in foreign countries, Yuanxin is not stingy at all, and it seems that some people are stupid and have too much money.

…

“But in the final analysis, it’s still about user experience.”

Chen Jing turned a page and looked at everyone: "We must admit that the experience of multi-core processors, for now, in the eyes of ordinary users, does not meet their expectations."

"So in the final analysis, it still depends on the effect of multi-core optimized software after the centralized birth next year."

Su Yuanshan nodded, but then smiled: "Don't worry, after next year, mid-to-high-end processors on the market will no longer have single cores."

Chen Jing always believed in Su Yuanshan on this kind of technological development issue, so she didn't say anything.

But seeing that many people showed doubts, Chen Jing thought for a while and asked with a smile: "So you are sure?"

"Sure." It was Qin Weimin who answered her.

Qin Weimin usually didn't talk much except for a few words when chatting. At this time, he answered for Su Yuanshan, which made everyone look at him.

"Multi-core technology is the right direction, and no chip design company dares not to go in this direction."
