Rebirth began in 2004

Acquisition of PMC? There is no need to consider it at all, but Huaxin International can consider it.

However, Chen Wei felt extremely headache when thinking about Huaxin International's serious management infighting.

There is another question, that is, if Hengtong Technology or Hengtong Group enters the field of chip foundry, how will PMC react?

You know, PMC is now the foundry of Cardinal Chip and Suzaku Chip!

He rubbed his forehead. Sometimes, Chen Wei felt that knowing too much was not a good thing.

Like others, I firmly believe that in the era of globalization, the world is undergoing a great industrial division of labor.

Han Yufei also knew some of Chen Wei's ideas and wanted to learn from Intel and be able to handle chip design and manufacturing by herself.

But compared to chip design, chip manufacturing is obviously more technically difficult.

Chip manufacturing is not just a matter of building a factory, it also involves the advancement of the entire industrial system.

Let’s talk about the core equipment of chip manufacturing: photolithography machine. This is something that is not so easy to handle.

The most advanced photolithography machines are not sold at all.

Is China capable of developing the world's most advanced photolithography machines?

This ability exists.

But there is a prerequisite, and that is to be able to purchase the most advanced parts and components from around the world.

There is no problem at all when doing integration.

But the problem now is that they don’t sell you the most advanced parts.

Unable to purchase.

In other words, even if a prototype is developed, there is no way to carry out large-scale production.

In this case, for a company, the more research and development it does, the more losses it will suffer.

No matter what the product is, it is built on the basis of a usable supply chain. Without this supply chain, no matter how advanced the product is, there is no way to manufacture it.

Industrial upgrading is urgent!

"If you can't acquire PMC, then you should acquire Huaxin International. Huaxin International's shares are quite dispersed, and the largest shareholder only holds 19% of the shares."

Chen Wei looked at Han Yufei strangely: "How do you know so clearly?"

Han Yufei said nonchalantly: "There is an old senior who works at Huaxin International. Last time he went back to school, I met him and had a chat with him!"

Huaqing University, as the top university in China, has graduated from Huaqing University with too many talents.

Chen Wei: "The acquisition of Huaxin International is not only a matter of money, but also other things must be considered."

It is not easy to fully acquire Huaxin International now.

Take a look at the current major shareholders of Huaxin International: Tangchao Telecom, China Investment Corporation, Shencheng Industrial, and PMC!

Yes, PMC is now also a shareholder of Huaxin International.

In 2009, Huaxin International and PMC lost the lawsuit and finally reached a settlement. Huaxin International paid PMC US$200 million in four years, plus 8% of its shares.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Now that the Suzaku chip is successful, what are you going to do next?"

Han Yufei said matter-of-factly: "Of course we are launching a chip with a new architecture! I've even chosen a name, it's called Zhuque 110."

The new architecture chip is called Suzaku, and 110 refers to the first version of a generation of chips.

The name of the new architecture is also directly named after Zhuque, which is called Zhuque architecture.

English name phx architecture!

The Zhuque architecture is a chip architecture self-developed by Hengtong Technology, and naturally Hengtong Technology has all independent intellectual property rights.

The biggest features of the Suzaku architecture are modularity, simplicity and high scalability.

In addition, in terms of energy consumption performance, the Suzaku architecture is also quite excellent and is very suitable for application in mobile products.

Now Hengtong Technology's chip R&D department is constantly adapting to the new architecture to launch new chip products as soon as possible.

The whole adaptation process is quite fast, so there is nothing to worry about.

Chen Wei: "I mean, besides chip research, do you have any other research that you are interested in?"

"What research am I interested in? There are many, such as grand unified theory."

Chen Wei blinked his eyes in astonishment. A unified theory is definitely a problem that scientists only dream of overcoming.

There is only one truth!

Then there must be a correct theory that can explain everything we observe.

Based on existing research successes and observations, the unification of strong interaction, weak interaction, and electromagnetic interaction can be theoretically explained.

However, gravity cannot be included.

What does this mean?

It shows that our understanding of gravity still has problems and is one-sided.

"Well, I think it is quite meaningful to study the grand unified theory. However, this is a relatively difficult problem. I think we can put it aside for a while."

Han Yufei: “With my current knowledge base, I still have a long way to go in researching a unified theory.”

Chen Wei twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. People who can develop new chip architectures said that their knowledge reserves were insufficient...

Forget it, compared with a genius like Han Yufei, it's just asking for trouble.

"If the research on grand unified theory is successful, does it mean that humans will have the ability to get out of the solar system?"

Han Yufei held up her head: "If you want to get out of the solar system, a unified theory is not enough. You also need to master nuclear fusion technology, artificial gravity technology, super spacecraft manufacturing technology, etc. You should not think about these."

The translation of Han Yufei's meaning is, it's impossible in this life, don't even think about it.

If you want to do something, pre-requisite technology is essential.

If not, it's just nonsense.

Or, it's better not to think about it.

Looking at Chen Wei strangely, Han Yufei said, "What exactly do you want me to study? Just tell me!"

You are talking nonsense, not honest at all!

Chen Wei coughed lightly: "Artificial intelligence!"

There is nothing wrong with Hengtong Technology's research on artificial intelligence.

Han Yufei said directly: "If you want to develop artificial intelligence like that in movies, it is simply impossible at this stage."

"The artificial intelligence in the movie is all science fiction. We are in reality, so we have to be down-to-earth, step by step. I am going to set up an artificial intelligence research and development project department at Hengtong Technology. You will lead this project department, is that okay?

"

Now Han Yufei has still laid the foundation of the phx architecture, and all that is left is to build high-rise buildings on top.

Things like building a building do not require Han Yufei to devote all his energy.

Hengtong Technology has enough talents in chip design.

Chen Wei also hopes that chip design can remain at the top level in the world without Han Yufei.

It's not that Han Yufei is resigning or anything.

Chen Wei's consideration was very simple. Han Yufei should not focus all his energy on chips.

This is a problem that Chen Wei was completely aware of after Han Yufei made a breakthrough in mathematics.

Han Yufei's talent should have a bigger stage.

For her, it would be a pure waste to focus mainly on researching chips.

Han Yufei: "Yes! But you have to recruit some people."

"Those people?"

Han Yufei didn't say anything, she just took out a piece of white paper and started writing.

Soon, a long list of names was listed on the paper.

When Han Yufei wants people, she doesn't necessarily want those who are successful and famous, but rather reads academic papers.
