I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 476 Qiao Lei's Suggestion!
The night before, I drank a little too much with Wang Zhi, and Lin Xiao went to Eternal Technology later than usual after waking up.

He just joined the company when Ren Xiaowen came up and said:

"Boss, Dr. Qiao came to see you just now, and it seems that he has something to report to you."

Lin Xiao recalled what Tang Xingchang had talked about yesterday, and was thinking of asking Qiao Lei about chip development. Hearing this, he said, "Ask Qiao Bo to come here now. I happen to have something to ask him too."

When Ren Xiaowen heard it, she immediately went out to call someone, and within a few minutes, Qiao Lei came to the office.

Lin Xiao beckoned the other party to sit down, and then asked, "Qiao Bo, I heard you were looking for me just now?"

Qiao Lei nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Lin, I want to report to you about the development of the chip."

"After several months of understanding and trying, I feel that at this stage, it is very, very difficult for Eternal Technology to develop chips. If we rely on the current situation, even if we want to complete the development and application of the main control chip, there is still a long way to go. .”

When Qiao Lei spoke, Lin Xiao's expression suddenly became serious.

He invested in Huaxin Technology, a chip manufacturing factory, to be responsible for chip manufacturing, and then let Eternal Technology support the design and development of the chip. This is the route he has determined before.

This is because Eternal Technology itself needs to be applied to chips, and there are suitable scenarios for such research and development.

Originally, he thought that the main control chip of the USB flash drive was relatively not that high in technical content, and it should not be a big problem starting from such a basic.

But what Qiao Lei said now poured cold water on his head.

"Professor Tang Xingchang seems to have done some research on this area and said that he is going to have some exchanges with you." Lin Xiao said to Qiao Lei.

Qiao Lei nodded and replied: "Academician Tang contacted me. I had a face-to-face communication with him yesterday, and it was precisely because of this that he touched me."

Hearing that Qiao Lei said that he and Tang Xingchang had already met and communicated, Lin Xiao signaled him to continue talking.

At this time, Qiao Lei continued: "At present, if the company wants to research chips, the most important thing is people! If there are two or three top experts like Academician Tang, and some senior talents, our research and development progress can be fully accelerated. Already!"

"During this period, I tried to set up a team to study chips, but found it very difficult. Because chip design is very professional, and it is impossible to do it without a certain foundation."

When Qiao Lei said this, he hesitated for a while, and then continued: "Mr. Lin, what I said is not very nice. In fact, the current R&D team of Eternal Technology is not related to the company's reputation and overall revenue. It's a great match."

"The truly stronger R&D personnel are still concentrated in the Silicon Valley Research Institute. Although the domestic technical team has followed up to learn, but there is still a process for qualitative improvement."

When Qiao Lei said this, Lin Xiao nodded. In fact, he had already realized this point.

The company has not been established for a long time. Tang Xingchang was at the helm of the early development of U disk technology, and the research and development of Gpod mainly relied on the team of the Silicon Valley Eternal Research Institute.

Afterwards, the biggest technological breakthrough of Eternal Technology was probably the redevelopment of the small hard disk technology purchased from Dongzhi, and the completion of the 10G hard disk research and development.

This piece was mainly completed by Qiao Lei and Tang Xingchang.

Now that Gpod sales are booming, and the company's revenue continues to rise, relatively speaking, the construction of the technical team is indeed still weak.

In particular, I originally planned to put the main technical research in China, but now it seems that it is a bit difficult to support the current domestic technical team.

Qiao Lei also happened to talk about this issue at this time, and he said: "Mr. Lin, actually I understand your idea of ​​putting key technologies in domestic research. It is indeed more controllable and safer, but I think there is still a need for this." It's a gradual process."

"During this period, I also tried to solve the urgent need of engineers for the chip design team through recruitment, but it was very difficult."

Qiao Lei shook his head, and said helplessly: "There are too few talents in this field in China. I have also tried to see if I can attract them from Silicon Valley. I have seen some people, but I heard that they will come to Huaxia. Many people are reluctant to come to work at the same time.”

Lin Xiao frowned slightly when he heard it, and then sighed secretly in his heart.

Just talking about the atmosphere of technological innovation and its attractiveness to high-end talents, it is true that China is still far behind the United States at this stage. Even if Chinese are willing to return to China from Silicon Valley to work, only Zhang Jing and Qiao Lei have strong feelings.

What's more, it is really difficult for engineers from other countries to persuade them to work in China.

The more sophisticated the talent, the more so.

The talents in chip design are undoubtedly top talents.

Lin Xiao looked at Qiao Lei at this moment, and asked, "Qiao Bo, do you have any good suggestions?"

"I suggest that in the early stage, the chip design team should be placed in the Silicon Valley Research Institute, and a group of engineers with work experience will be recruited there, so that the entire research and development process can be accelerated a lot."

After Qiao Lei finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiao very seriously and said, "Our company starts from scratch in chip R&D and design, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the team we build also starts from scratch, looking for engineers in Silicon Valley. Or it’s more convenient to poach people from other companies.”

"After the technology developed over there, it is actually the same to bring it back to China for use. When the company grows stronger, those engineers from Silicon Valley may also be willing to work in China.

Moreover, with the accumulation of technology, the domestic technical team can also grow up through learning. I think we still need to appropriately rely on external forces. "

Lin Xiao thought for a while after listening, Qiao Lei's words were actually very reasonable, and he also realized that he had entered a misunderstanding before.

That is to look at the current situation from the perspective of 20 years later. To put it bluntly, it is preconceived.

In fact, the relationship between China and the United States at this stage is far less tense than later generations, especially after 2001, because of that world sensational event, the attention of the United States to China will be greatly reduced.

It was during the following period that Huaxia Technology ushered in a good opportunity for development.

In this case, before I was only thinking about developing the most core technology in China, it was actually a bit of a dead end.

What Qiao Lei said is right, first accumulate technology, pass this stage, by the way, give the domestic technical team time and space to grow, and indeed develop faster than I thought before.

Pay attention to using external forces to let talents from the United States and even the world serve your company. Isn't this the meaning of setting up the Eternal Research Institute?
It is said that planting phoenix trees attracts phoenixes, so why can't I plant sycamore trees outside the phoenix's lair?

I didn't expect that I would talk about not to become fat all day long, but in the end I was still doing the same thing.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao shook his head secretly, then made a decision in his heart, raised his head and said to Qiao Lei:

"Job, what you said makes sense, so let's do what you want!"

"You will take the lead in this matter, and you will take over the management of the research institute in Silicon Valley for the time being. During this process, you can see if you can find a suitable person to carry out specific management. It is best to be an engineer of our Chinese nationality. Secondly, It's Chinese."

Lin Xiao glanced at Qiao Lei, and continued: "After the Eternal Research Institute in Silicon Valley is run more smoothly, we can also start to establish research institutes in other regions and countries such as Europe, as long as we can attract talents to become Eternal Group Service, where the research institute is built, is not the most important thing!"

"However, the establishment of all these research institutes must aim at one direction, that is, to finally allow our Huaxia engineers to be in charge of the entire management. Even if this cannot be achieved, the most basic thing to do is that Huaxia engineers must master the research The core technology of the academy!"

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Qiao Lei immediately beamed with joy.

"Mr. Lin, if the place of work is at the Silicon Valley Research Institute, it will be much easier for us to build a team here."

"Let's not talk about others, Bell Labs has a lot of excellent engineers leaving one after another. It is absolutely feasible to find some excellent engineers from them, and then build a chip R&D and design team!"

"Then look for it!" Hearing Qiao Lei say this, Lin Xiao felt moved when he heard this:

"If you can, you can find more talents, not limited to the chip field, and you can also recruit some engineers in the direction of mobile phone hardware and software research and development."

"Mobile phone hardware and software engineer..." Qiao Lei looked at Lin Xiao when he heard this.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly.

To make a USB flash drive, to make a Gpod, his goal is to make a mobile phone in the end!

It will be 2001 soon. In fact, many manufacturers of smart phones are already developing smart phones, but mobile phones have not yet been fully popularized, and the Internet speed has not been improved, so the era of smart phones has not really come yet.

But in fact, it will not be a few years.

And really making a mobile phone is not something that can be done in a day or two, especially Lin Xiao's goal is to lead the era of smart phones by himself, and it will take a long time to accumulate technology in the early stage.

"At this stage, we still focus on the company's existing products. I mean, if there are talents in this field, and if they are suitable, they can be recruited into the research team."

Lin Xiao spoke at this time, and Qiao Lei nodded immediately after listening.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao said to Qiao Lei: "As for the funds, the company has enough guarantees, 5000 million yuan in the early stage, and if there is a need to add more in the later stage, the company's goal is very clear, and we must realize the autonomy of the chip! "

5000 million yuan, that's more than 4 million Huaxia coins!
After listening to Qiao Lei, he also felt Lin Xiao's attention, nodded heavily immediately, and said very seriously:
"Boss Lin, we will definitely live up to our trust!"

"Okay!" Lin Xiao only said one word, and nothing else.

Because, what Qiao Lei said was the only result he wanted!
