Chapter 246 Seize orders from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and steal Iron Man’s wool!

The next few months.

Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhou Zi led the team to sign an equity change agreement and conduct audits and financial adjustments with MVIDIA.

Chen Heyu stayed at the R&D center all day and never wanted to leave!

As the largest shareholder, he has a high voice and influence. Except for some laboratories related to the National Defense Department, which he does not have permission to enter, other research laboratories can enter and exit at will.

You can even openly call the technical president over and directly ask about the principles of graphics processors, CUDA parallel computing models, deep neural network libraries and autonomous driving technology.

Because no one believed that MVIDIA's core technology could be taken away with just a few scattered words, Huang Xunjian just pretended that he was interested in R&D.

After all, Chen Heyu’s future technology is a leader in the field of artificial intelligence, and its development and growth cannot be separated from the support of hardware suppliers like MVIDIA.

"Mr. Chen, that is the MVIDIA Tesla P100, a GPU based on the Pascal architecture. It is a high-performance computing accelerator, using a 16-nanometer process technology, and equipped with 3584 CUDA cores.

It is a hardware unit specially designed for deep learning tasks and has the characteristics of high throughput and low power consumption.

It can accelerate matrix operations and deep neural network calculations, improve the training and reasoning capabilities of deep learning models, and provide powerful computing and acceleration capabilities..."

Huang Xunjian picked up a chip the size of a fingernail and introduced it with a smile.

"How big of a performance difference will it have with IDM's System x?"

During that time, Chen Heyu kept listening to the reminder sounds in his mind and felt particularly comfortable. The trip to the beautiful country was very fruitful. Jie Donglai was eager to visit Tesla and SpaceM, and he was even more looking forward to it.

"Mr. Chen, believe him, there is no nuclear processor in the world today that is more suitable for future technology."

Huang Xunjian smiled and said with a sense of pride.

At a time when Moss's artificial intelligence was sweeping the world and making money, he was keenly aware of the trend. He focused his efforts on meeting the needs of deep learning and high-performance computation, and specially built the Tesla P100.

“For database management, virtualization, and enterprise application computing needs, System

Huang Xunjian added confidently.

When Chen Heyu heard this, he nodded slightly and understood the meaning of Wrong Fang instantly.

It's like two chefs, one can cook Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Jiangnan cuisine, and the other specializes in Sichuan cuisine. If you want to experience the authentic Shu flavor, naturally choose the latter.

"How much is the price?"

Chen Heyu became interested and asked if he could.

Most of the artificial intelligence servers of future technology are provided by IDM, AND and HPU, but now, it is obvious that MVIDIA's customized products are more suitable for development needs.

"In addition to selling it, he also launched an additional DGX-1 server with two external Intel Xeon E5-2699v3 processors and eight Tesla P100 computing cards, priced at US$129,000!"

Huang Xunjian said with a smile, exuding a shrewd aura.

Depend on!

Why don’t I grab it?

Chen Heyu burst into laughter and cursed in his heart, wondering if he could understand why MVIDIA could stand out in the semiconductor industry.

It only took eight years to go from a market value of 20 billion to a sky-high price of one trillion U.S. dollars, a surge of more than 50 times!

In 2024, Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Percom, and Intel will all be able to compete with MVIDIA.

Without him, he has a keen sense of the market and dares to risk everything to bet on the AI ​​industry! The price discount is also cruel enough!

"He can purchase 5,000 units, but I beg him to agree to one condition."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and said lightly.

US$129,000*5,000 sets=US$645 million!

Huang Xunjian's breathing stagnated, and he suddenly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his heart beat wildly and unsatisfactorily!

MVIDIA's sales last year were only 4.13 billion U.S. dollars, and Chen Heyu's sales accounted for 15.6% of the sales. It is fake to say that it is not tempting.

5000 sets!

That magnitude was so huge that he wondered if it could be used in the field of artificial intelligence and couldn't be consumed at all.

"Just talk about it first and don't embarrass him."

Huang Xunjian said in a deep voice.

“Leave Bay Semiconductor’s chip processing business to Shanhai Microelectronics.”

Chen Heyu said coldly, finally revealing the biggest purpose of his trip.

"Sorry, he underestimated the strength of Shanhai Microelectronics. It seems that not long ago, Shanhai Microelectronics barely achieved mass production of 28nm chips.

I want to know that the demand for Tesla P100 is very high. Gugou, Weisoft, and Facebook have also placed orders of huge value. If they cannot deliver the goods in time, they will not be able to explain to their shareholders."

Huang Xunjian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and immediately rejected the request.

Tesla P100 uses a 16nm process, and Shanhai Micropower cannot meet the standards!

"Don't worry, since he dares to put forward that condition, he is certainly sure to replace Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s production capacity.

The process nodes, packaging technology, photolithography machines, and ion implanters are all ready. By the Q4 quarter, Shanhai Microelectronics’ production capacity will completely surpass that of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.”

Chen Heyu thought for a moment and said calmly.

"He needs to go on a field trip."

Huang Xunjian replied cautiously.

"Give him a copy of the Tesla P100 chip design document and start with a small batch production of 100,000 pieces. I can review the yield and performance stability before considering it."

Chen Heyu didn't want to waste time, so he immediately spoke.

"That's okay too."

Huang Xunjian nodded, readily agreed to Donglai, turned around and left the conference room.

As for why you don’t worry about technology leaks, come on, people all over the world have applied for patents, and whoever dares to imitate them will sue the wrong party and bankrupt them all!

"There is a copy in that encrypted USB drive, including schematics, layouts and physical design data.

He will send the mask template to Shanhai Microelectronics headquarters."

After a while, Huang Xunjian returned and handed Chen Heyu a metal USB flash drive, which was sealed in a document bag.

Chen Heyu immediately took it away and put it in his pocket. If everything goes well, it will be Shanhai Microelectronics' first 16nm process OEM product.

Once he gets the processing order, it will be easier for him to negotiate with Apple and covet business in the Greater China region.

"If the chips produced by Shanhai Microelectronics can rival Bay Semiconductor in terms of performance and yield, he will help me convince the board of directors."

Huang Xunjian promised.

"Thank you."

Chen Heyu said with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief. Is he going to get a piece of that fat meat from Bay Semiconductor?

"Mr. Chen, if you have time this week, he will introduce me to some Chinese friends in Wei Pigu, so that we can facilitate exchanges and cooperation later this month."

Huang Xunjian suggested with a smile.

He is not from the Bay Island, but also has the habit of forming groups. Chen Heyu is strong enough. Only by bringing that kind of person into the circle can the influence of the Chinese in the Turtle Valley technology circle be enhanced.

"Tōji, he asked to go to Luoduo tomorrow to meet a new friend."

Chen Heyu waved his legs and replied with a smile.

Musk's nutritious sheep must be picked up, so that the trip to the beautiful country can be called a complete success.

"Mr. Paul is having a dance in the morning, and the lady here will also be there. Mr. Chen, would you like to attend?"

After talking about business, Huang Xunjian talked about topics that men like, with an ambiguous expression.

"I'll go say hello and I'll be there in the morning."

Chen Heyu smiled softly and declined politely.

In a word, I will definitely not play for free. For lessons learned from the past, you can refer to Liu Dong, a face-blind patient!

In a foreign country and an unfamiliar place, he didn't want to waste time with those high-ranking old foxes.

"OK."

Huang Xunjian took a deep look, the corner of his mouth was raised, and a faint smile quickly dissipated.

the next day.

Chen Heyu took Lao Zhou and eight security personnel from Securitas BA and drove towards Roaldo, and Turtle Valley gradually came into view.

After copying MVIDIA's core technology, he did not choose to upgrade it, leaving a fallback path.

He believes that Future Technology is not positioned as an artificial intelligence or software service provider, and does not intend to get involved in the field of hardware manufacturing.

I want to eat everything, but I can’t eat anything!

For example, when the semiconductor industry was first born, most of them followed the IDM model, which integrated design, packaging and testing, manufacturing, and sales. However, later on, four major types were gradually derived, and they were basically responsible for one or two of the redesign links.

The core reason is that R&D costs are too high and most companies cannot afford it.

At present, only Intel, Sanxing, and Texas Instruments are left with a few die-hards to support it. Chip companies like Intel, which invest up to 10 billion US dollars in R&D every year, few companies can stay with it to the end.

To give a more realistic example, two IC design companies are jointly developing a 10-nanometer chip process.

One company took 2 years, and the other took 5 years. The 3-year time difference was enough to make that process a backward technology, and most of the profits went to the first company.

The second R&D company can earn some hard money, but with a larger cocoa, even the R&D expenses cannot be recovered.

Only by avoiding that situation will the semiconductor industry be prosperous.

Even Chen Heyu had to sacrifice all his wealth to be able to afford that kind of operation.

The most perfect situation is that he starts from the design and manufacturing aspects, first becomes a world-class chip company, and after gaining a certain market share, he will consider opening up the entire link.

Going further, otherwise, we must slowly localize equipment, spare parts, technology, and researchers before we can control an industry.

Don’t even think about it beyond three to five years!

The city of Santa Clara is dozens of kilometers away from Roaldo. Chen Heyu set off at noon and arrived at his destination before 10 o'clock.

There are many eye-catching tall buildings in the large factory area, with huge red letters "Telas" hanging on the gray exterior walls.

There are a large number of trams parked at the entrance. You can tell from the appearance that most of them are Model S and Model X.

Does Jobs’ car-building plan mean he wants to be the second Musk?

Chen Heyu suddenly thought of it.

It is estimated that Lao Jia Fu regarded Mask as his ideal type.

He didn't realize that building a car is not as simple as making a show or a TV. It requires complex technology, a huge supply chain system, and a lot of financial support to make continuous progress through trial and error.

.

Even Musk's capital chain was once broken and he was on the verge of bankruptcy. With the help of Wall Street and PLSA Aerospace Division, he was not the "Iron Man of Turtle Valley", he was already in poverty.

"Boss, the place has arrived."

Zhou Xiaoyu stood outside the car window, looking at the boss in a daze, knocked on the glass, and whispered a reminder.

"Yeah, I understand."

Chen Heyu opened the car door, packed his belongings, looked strong and tall, walked forward with his head held high, and strode forward.

When I walked to the lobby, I saw a man wearing a dark blue shirt and several assistants waiting.

"Oh! Chen, I see that he is much younger than he thought. It's hard to believe that I can achieve that kind of achievement at such a young age."

Mask came over with a smile, held Chen Heyu's leg tightly, and exchanged warm greetings.

"You're welcome, Elon."

After hearing this, Chen Heyu smiled casually. It was the first time in two lives that he saw the richest man in the world alive in the future.

Don't be excited, just be curious and look at the wrong side.

He is a few centimeters taller than him, and his body is slightly fatter.

The two of them had their own secrets, and entered the lobby on the first floor together. The outside was spacious and bright, and Tesla's flagship electric model was displayed. Musk talked while walking and introduced it with interest.

“Model S uses self-developed battery technology and electric drive system, and has a range of 300 to 400 miles and strong acceleration capabilities.

The spacious and luxurious exterior space design can accommodate five adult passengers and is equipped with a wealth of driving assistance functions, such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, etc..."

Chen Heyu remembered that the price of that car was extremely high, and the wrong person was worthy of being an expert at chopping leeks. Thinking of his saucy operations in the currency circle, he instantly became wary.
