1991 Starting from the core

Tokyo, Sony headquarters.

"Does that mean you came here to avoid Deyi?"

Su Yuanshan and Li Xiao both put their hands in their pockets and walked slowly on the lawn outside the laboratory.

"NO! Of course I came to see you."

"Get out of here." Li Xiao rolled his eyes at Su Yuanshan and raised his foot, ready to kick.

Su Yuanshan was so frightened that he jumped a step quickly.

Li Xiao stood still, thought for a while and then said seriously: "But I really want to go back. Do you still remember when our lithium battery laboratory was first established? At that time, Senior Brother Cheng Peng proposed an idea, saying that he wanted to develop a composite cathode Materials. Later, in order to take into account both stability and commercialization, we chose to specialize in lithium iron phosphate."

"Now there are several cathode material teams from both sides, mainly making breakthroughs in the two fields of lithium iron phosphate and lithium cobalt oxide."

Su Yuanshan was startled and immediately stood still: "Go on, what are your thoughts?"

"Mr. Nishimio here has always wanted to continue to make breakthroughs in composite materials. After many screenings, the idea originally proposed by our laboratory was used."

"Using a certain proportion of nickel and manganese to replace part of the cobalt to form nickel cobalt manganese acid to replace the previous cobalt acid - in theory, not only can the cost be reduced, but the energy density can also be higher, even higher than lithium iron phosphate. It needs to be high. The only drawback is..."

"Unstable?"

"Yes, it's not very stable." Li Xiao said, remembering that when he was at Yuanxin, the chemistry laboratory had just been established, and Su Yuanshan didn't care about them, let them toss around, and the funds were fully arranged. Let them let themselves go.

Thinking back on it, the more than one year at Yuanxin was really the happiest time - the laboratory was full of experimental materials that could not be applied for in school. If anyone had any new ideas or new experiments, they would come up immediately. Just start it.

Perhaps due to luck, although the laboratory burned down several times, it never caused serious damage, let alone casualties.

"So what I mean is that since Sony and we both thought of nickel cobalt manganese oxide at the same time, it proves that this direction should be relatively reliable - you have to know that sometimes it really depends on luck when it comes to materials. I stay here Here, apart from analysis, it’s just luck.”

"In this case, I might as well go back and recruit a group of people to work on nickel cobalt manganese acid alone, what do you think?"

Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and smiled slowly.

"Don't laugh, it's okay or not!" Li Xiao glared at him.

"Okay, of course!" Su Yuanshan nodded.

When he came here this time, he actually wanted to take Li Xiao back - the main purpose of Li Xiao's coming here in the first place was not only to communicate and learn techniques, but also to "supervise" and "infiltrate".

After all, cooperation with Sony had just begun at that time, and it was always right to be cautious to prevent each other from taking advantage of each other.

This time, one of the purposes of Su Yuanshan coming to negotiate cooperation with Sony was to let Sony directly cancel the 18650 battery department and fully integrate it into the field of Soxin Electronics.

According to Kutaragi Ken's feedback, Sony's senior management is relatively supportive of this big integration. After all, the future of polymer lithium batteries is visible to the naked eye.

Once there is great integration, there will be no "Sony" batteries on the market, and they will be completely replaced by "Soxin" batteries.

So in this way, all "holding a hand" will no longer make sense.

Of course, Su Yuanshan cannot just give up his investment in lithium battery technology - no matter how harmonious the two parties cooperate, each other will also make technical contributions. Whichever party contributes more will have a higher say in the cable core. This is inevitable.

To put it further and more seriously, it means that we should have a higher say in the field of new energy in the future.

But again, her status is a bit high and difficult to arrange.

But now, since the laboratory here still follows the original trajectory and has gone in the direction of ternary lithium, Su Yuanshan is naturally happy to follow the trend.

After making sure that Su Yuanshan was not fooling him as usual, Li Xiao clenched his fist hard: "Provincial capital, hot pot, wait for me!"

"...You can't go to the provincial capital..."

"Why?" Li Xiao was startled.

"Because..." Su Yuanshan coughed: "Because the Science and Technology Park is a national first-level safety research department and cannot conduct dangerous experiments."

"Holy crap!!! That's not dynamite!"

In the next few days, Su Yuanshan visited various semiconductor companies in Niguo. In addition to being invited to participate in the second flash memory forum, he also invited some companies to participate in the Ymicor OS Alliance in May.

One thing to say is that Su Yuanshan did not really want to go to Niguo to avoid Deyi - although he definitely wanted to show off Deyi, the real reason was to continue to deepen cooperation with Niguo manufacturers in the field of flash memory and YOS.

And besides him coming to Ni Country, Chen Jing also went to Europe at almost the same time. While helping the Shanghai Stock Exchange to promote the market, we also invite companies that want to develop mobile devices, or to be more precise, mobile smart devices, to join the YOS Alliance.

After all, the ITU will soon announce a formal call for third-generation mobile communications standards.

As we all know, that means the advent of the era of "high-speed Internet access" on mobile phones, or even more optimistically, the arrival of mobile Internet.

After bidding farewell to Kutaragi Ken at the airport, Su Yuanshan returned to China on February 9th.

…

In the office, Su Yuanshan just came back, and Li Mingliu rushed over.

"Lao Li, don't be like this...please let me take a break."

Seeing Li Mingliu holding a stack of documents in his hand, Su Yuanshan felt a little proud of himself and immediately grimaced.

"Okay, okay, I have time anyway."

Li Mingliu was not in a hurry, threw the documents on the table, dragged a chair by himself, and sat down facing Su Yuanshan's desk.

He also crossed his legs.

"Ahem...you guy." Su Yuanshan had no choice but to open the folder and flip through it.

After just one glance at the catalog, he immediately became serious.

A few minutes later, he finished reading the plan and finally understood the source of Li Mingliu's confidence.

"The plan is good! But have you ever thought about it, Lao Li... If you do this, it means that we will have a direct confrontation with Intel in the future."

——Frankly speaking, Su Yuanshan is very unwilling to enter into a confrontation with Intel on the single-chip capacity of flash memory so early.

The reason is simple. NAND flash memory is not as good as chips. As the manufacturing process improves, although the transistor density can be increased, the problem of electron escape must also be solved.

And this involves technology accumulation. In this regard, the current Yuanxin is really unmatched.

Not to mention, what Intel is best at is pulling enemies into areas where they are good at, and then using their rich experience to defeat their opponents.

For example, now, Intel has begun to advocate the supremacy of main frequency in the CPU field - and the biggest impact on main frequency is the manufacturing process. It has process advantages, who can compare with it?

Of course, compared to this, Su Yuanshan is still happy to see SATA and AHCI technologies appear early - in this document, Gao Xiaodi's team and Luo Ming's team came up with two technologies at the same time, which are enough to reduce the current hard disk bandwidth from The theoretical upper limit of ATA is doubled to 1Gb/S.

This is already faster than SATA1.0.

SATA was officially proposed by Intel three years later.

Li Mingliu picked up the tea cup and blew the foam gracefully. After taking a sip, he raised his head.

He raised his eyebrows, half-smiling, "You're not scared, are you?"

"I'm such a coward!"

Su Yuanshan threw the plan on the table, thought about it and stood up.

"If you want to do it, just do it big time, we'll just customize the machine and start!"
