Chapter 42: Boss Ren plans to take action, but academicians repeatedly run into obstacles

“Dad, something happened to Longxing Technology again. This time not only Gaotong and MediaTek stopped supplying chips, but the three EDA software giants also stopped providing software services to them.”

Shencheng Longgang

Kunpeng company headquarters base

Yao Nana put on a professional skirt and old-fashioned black-framed glasses, trying to look more professional and came to Ren Guofei’s office.

Ren Guofei, who was still processing documents and reviewing the plan, raised his head and asked in confusion:”Nana, why are you here? What did you say about Longxing Technology just now? What happened to them?”

In the past two days, he has been approving orders from parts suppliers. Since the restriction on purchasing chips has been lifted, this means that they can use the Snapdragon 810 processor normally to release new flagship mobile phones.

Originally, Ren Guofei did not want to use the Snapdragon 810 processor, but he could not withstand the strong demands of shareholders.

Because Kunpeng Company has not made a profit for a long time, although shareholders do not say it in words, they are more or less aware of it in their hearts.���Complain

Yao Nana kept her story short and concisely summarized what she just said.

Ren Guofei suddenly became extremely worried. This was hundreds of times more difficult than the difficulties Kunpeng Company encountered back then!

Not only is the chip supply cut off, but the EDA software is also locked for you. Even if you have great chip design skills, it will be useless without EDA software. This is an absolute technology monopoly.

“How long have the sanctions been imposed?”

“In maybe two to three days, the production of Longxing X1 mobile phones dropped to 10,000 units. Now the Internet is scolding them for engaging in hunger marketing, but I heard that their Guancheng factory seems to have been shut down.”

Yao Nana told Ren Guofei all the information she collected.

After understanding the general idea, Ren Guofei suddenly felt a headache. He did not expect that MediaTek was also involved.

What conditions, or what interests, made it willing to cooperate with Gaotong Company to cut off the supply of chips to Longxing Technology?

“Looks like I need to talk to Chen Xing”

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the nest is destroyed and the eggs are broken. Ren Guofei will not understand this truth.

He was thinking, if Kunpeng Company experiences this level of comprehensive sanctions, will it really have a chance to survive?

He doesn’t know

But there is a high probability that it will be over……

Because the chip field has always been a pain for Longguo, whether it is instruction set, EDA software, chip design or manufacturing process, there is still a long way to go.

The instruction set is okay, there is open source RISC-V, but the last three are patented technologies that really choke your neck.

Especially for EDA chip design software, three companies account for 95% of the global market share. You must know that this company is a global company, not a country. Just thinking about it is scary.

“Nana, help me contact Chen Xing. I want to talk to him tonight.”

Ren Guofei plans to take action

He was not just trying to help Chen Xing, but he was also trying to help himself.

Once Longxing Technology Company collapses, everyone knows which Longguo company will suffer next. Kunpeng Company has always been the fat in the eyes of Gaotong Company.

“We probably won’t be talking about dad tonight. Xiao Nuan said that Mr. Chen went to the Imperial Capital and most likely went to the boss of Huatian EDA to discuss cooperation.”

As soon as Yao Nana finished speaking, the door of the office was opened again.

“Father, the supply contract for Snapdragon 810 processors has been negotiated. Gaotong is willing to charge baseband patent royalties at 270 yuan per unit and 5% of the total sales price of a single unit. The first batch of Snapdragon 810 processors is expected to be It will arrive at the warehouse within these two days”

The speaker was a middle-aged woman with a single ponytail and full of aura.

Although she looks ordinary, her eyes are extremely sharp and edgy. She is an out-and-out strong woman in the workplace.

She is not a company employee, but Ren Guofei’s eldest daughter, Ren Wanzhou

loadAdv(7,3);

The arrival of Ren Wanzhou also made Ren Guofei look at Yao Nana aside and said:”Nana, you go and do your work first. Notify me immediately of the news of Chen Xing’s return. Your eldest sister and I have something to discuss.”

“Can…”

Yao Nana wanted to say something else, but she couldn’t say it in the end.

She looked deeply at Ren Wanzhou, called”Sister” softly, and then left the office.

In Kunpeng Company, Ren Guofei would habitually leave core tasks to Ren Wanzhou. Yao Nana used to think that it was because of her young age that Ren Guofei was worried. Now it seems that she has not become that candidate.

……

“Mr. Qu, we are here. This is the experimental base of Longxing Technology Company. It seems to be a technology park for rent.”

Outside the SEG Technology Park, an inconspicuous Santana slowly drove to the door. Sitting in the back seat, the old man in his sixties, who was thin and had two big bags under his eyes, looked out the window and said in disbelief:

“Is this their experimental base? Are you sure you got it right?”

“No, this is the address Xu Shaoyi gave, and I heard that they only rented a five-story laboratory building”

“So simple……”

While the two people in the car were still talking, the security guard at the security booth immediately stepped forward and said:”Hello, how can I help you?”

Unlike the eighty-year-old gatekeepers in industrial parks and real estate complexes outside, the security guards here are all veterans, and all of them are strong and strong.

24-hour shift patrols and the promotion of all-round cameras in the park have made safety the label of SEG Technology Park.

“Hello, may I ask, does Longxing Technology Company rent a laboratory here?”

As soon as the Santana driver finished speaking, the security guard looked alert and refused to provide information on the spot:”I’m sorry, our park has express regulations not to disclose customer information.”

“That’s it. Can we take a tour of the inside of your park?”

“Sorry, we don’t allow outside vehicles here. Unless you are here to rent an experimental site, otherwise I can’t let you in.”

“I see. The driver looked at the old man in the back seat and asked for advice:”What should Mr. Qu do now?” I can’t seem to get in. Mr. Chen Xing is too hard to find.”

They arrived in Shenzhen five days ago because they had to attend a semiconductor academic exchange meeting. After the exchange meeting, Qu Cheng wanted to visit Longxing Technology Company and witness Chen Xing’s style.

As an academician who was responsible for technology patent review, he wanted to know who designed the DSP digital signal processor multi-core architecture technology.

But the result is…

Thank you for the invitation. I am on a business trip and not in the company!

They wanted the girl at the front desk to call Chen Xing and ask when he would be back, but they were declined again.

The girl at the front desk is certainly not stupid. It would be okay if Chen Xing was in the company, but now that he is on a business trip, how dare she call her boss to ask when he will be back?

If she were talking about cooperation, if she was resting in a hotel, she would make a phone call. Wouldn’t she be digging a hole for herself?

She could only ask Qu Cheng to leave his phone number and notify them when Chen Xing came back from his business trip.

It’s okay to hit a wall at Longxing Technology Company. Now that I’m at SEG Technology Park, I want to pay homage to the place where Kaitian baseband chips are developed, but they’re not allowed in.

Hitting the wall several times in a day made Qu Cheng feel confused. He lived to be sixty-four years old and received numerous awards. He was also an academician of both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the dean of the School of Integrated Circuits at Beijing University.

If you want to see him, you usually make an appointment months or even half a year in advance, and you may not be able to see him.

But now it’s his turn to see Chen Xing. It’s really harder than making an appointment for himself.……
