I Am the President of the University

(The first two chapters were revised in the afternoon, you can refresh them again)

"Mr. Mollenkopf, regarding the optical core issue of Guanghua University, I hope Intel and Qualcomm can shake hands and make peace together to fight against China!" Intel CEO Swan said with a serious face.

In fact, the relationship between Intel and Qualcomm was not good before. In most cases, when they bumped into each other, it was during competition.

In the PC era, Intel was the absolute leader in the chip field. However, due to its misjudgment of the mobile industry, it missed the mobile end, which led to the rise of Qualcomm and dominated mobile communication chips in one fell swoop.

To be precise, these two are not pure processor companies. Intel belongs more to it (computer industry), while Qualcomm belongs to ct (communications industry). The grievances between the two first originated in the 3G era.

At that time, the three major international standards in 3G were China's td-scdma, the United States' cdma2000, and Europe's wcdma.

Speaking of cdma2000, the core patents at that time were all in the hands of Qualcomm.

Because the three major standards in 3G are all based on cdma, products with the three major 3g standards have to pay huge patent fees to Qualcomm, which is also called the "Qualcomm tax" by the communications industry.

Later, because Qualcomm collected patent fees too harshly, the entire communications industry was still complaining, and everyone wanted to secretly kick Qualcomm away.

Coincidentally, the dawn of the communications industry's push away from Qualcomm was precisely brought about by Intel.

In 2001, Intel gathered a group of small partners and established the Wimax Forum, hoping to bypass Qualcomm and play on its own. Finally, in October 2007, Wimax was accepted by the ITU and became the fourth international standard for 3G.

At that time, American operators and equipment manufacturers all announced their support for wimax, which affected Qualcomm's interests. Qualcomm definitely couldn't bear it and boycotted wimax very strongly. Not only did they disparage wimax on various occasions, they also refused to produce wimax chips. At the same time, they also asked Apple to announce a boycott of Wimax by cutting off the supply of cores and offering high rebates.

In the end, wimax died due to various reasons, but the feud between Intel and Qualcomm was forged from then on.

Later, because of the fierce competition in Apple's mobile phone baseband orders and router chip market, the cooperation between the two was almost minimal.

Now, the two old rivals are so frightened by Guanghua University's optical core that they want to shake hands and make peace.

"Cooperation is no problem, but how to cooperate? How to fight against the optical core that Guanghua University is developing in the research and development center? These are the key points." Qualcomm CEO Mollenkopf said calmly.

"Shet! This is indeed a big problem, but shouldn't we first confirm the cooperative relationship and then discuss how to deal with Guanghua University?" Swan cursed Guanghua University in a low voice. Unlike Mollenkopf, his expression Not very pretty.

The 2020nature China Forum held in China this time seems to have no intention of keeping it secret at all. As long as the media applies for live broadcast, it will be fine.

Especially at the three presentations held by Chen Hao, Chen Chong and Ren Hong of Guanghua University in the morning of China time, all senior executives of Intel Corporation gathered in the conference room to watch.

After listening to Ren Hong's report, several technical experts in the conference room fell into silence.

Obviously, Guanghua University's optical core technology was broken only for a while. As for one year...

The hope is not high, but it is still possible.

Recalling the report given by Chen Hao, the other party's photonic screen no longer satisfies the mobile phone screen market and is preparing to enter the computer screen, TV screen and other markets.

After the other party's optical core reaches mass production, the other party cannot only focus on mobile phone chips, and may also involve the field of PC chips.

Then when optical core enters the field of PC chips, how can Intel be able to withstand it?

Therefore, the most important thing now is to stop the other party before the other party's research and development results are achieved.

"Then what do Mr. Swan think we can do?" Mollenkopf showed sarcasm on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"Sanction the other party?"

"How to sanction?"

Through the screen, Mollenkopf looked at Swann coldly.

"Photonic chips are different from traditional electronic chips and can completely bypass many steps. Moreover, China has already established a number of good companies from EDA software to packaging and testing. "

Mollenkopf's voice continued.

"And I believe Mr. Swan has also received the news, right? China has set up an optical core industrial park in Ludao, and a number of chip-related companies have already settled in. With the great power of that country, they are already preparing for the The mass production of light distribution cores has been adjusted.”

Mollenkopf's voice sounded tired, lost, and overwhelmed.

China is not like ordinary capitalist countries. Many enterprises are state-owned enterprises and central enterprises. These enterprises can be twisted together like ropes under the control of that country.

This is completely impossible in beautiful countries and Europe.

Swan finally understood. This guy was already timid before fighting!

He sneered and said in a bad tone: "So, Qualcomm has given up?"

"Of course not. Cooperation is certain. As for how to cooperate, we will discuss it slowly." Mollenkopf said with a shrug.

After the remote meeting ended, Swann's face instantly turned purple, and his face became frighteningly gloomy.

"This damn bastard!"

Swann flew into a rage and vomited sweet things in the conference room.

After venting for a long time, he finally figured it out.

Qualcomm has been CEO of Qualcomm since 1985 when founder Irving Jacobs served as CEO. Mollenkopf is the third CEO and has served since 2013.

But some rumors have already spread. Unsurprisingly, Mollenkopf will step down as CEO next year, and Cristiano Amon, the current president of Qualcomm, will serve as the fourth CEO.

This guy is about to step down, his stocks have been sold off a lot, and his attitude towards Guanghua University is also quite negative.

Swann gritted his teeth and said: "This damn Guanghua University, isn't the mobile chip market too big to feed you?"

As long as Guanghua does not enter the PC chip market, Qualcomm will be killed by the other party, and Intel will be happier than anyone else.

Sitting on the desk, Swann's eyes flashed.

Our allies are unreliable. They are simply stupider than pigs. We can only rely on them for information.

…

December 23rd.

On the second day of the 2020nature Forum, this day mainly focused on special reports at each branch venue.

Guests and accompanying persons attending the conference can go to the branch venue to listen to any special report they are interested in.

Of course, in addition to the special reports in the branch venues, there is also a poster area.

Generally speaking, an academic conference is not just a venue, it also includes at least two areas: the sponsor's product exhibition area, and the poster posting area.

The poster area mainly contains some papers submitted for this conference, but the China Forum held by Guanghua does not lack papers and does not require submission.

However, due to the limited number of people who can give oral reports in the branch venue, all other guests who want to show their research results or communicate with others can set up a stall here.

It’s just that in this stall, what is traded is not goods, but knowledge.

The poster area is a bit simple, just stick papers on thin wooden boards, while the stall owner stands aside, hoping to meet a knowledgeable visitor and have another academic soul collision.

Chen Hao's figure slowly shuttled through the poster area, his eyes scanning over the paper posters.

Looking at these titles, he couldn't help but laugh.

Because the guests invited to participate this time are all experts in the fields of materials and semiconductors, many papers are on polymer materials, metal materials, etc.

"It's really interesting. Flexible batteries have appeared, so lithium-air batteries must be available, right?"

Chen Hao chuckled in a low voice. His smile had not yet subsided, and his expression froze in the next second.

Looking at the English poster in front of him, Chen Hao read the title aloud:

"Preparation and performance research of key materials for lithium-air batteries..."
