My rebirth is different

Chapter 697 This is my girlfriend
Facebook Games North America now has a large number of employees. It has its own office building, science and technology park, and various supporting restaurants, gyms, and game rooms.

After wandering around for a while, Yu Wenfei took Zhou Mengqi to the coffee shop downstairs to take a rest and chat at the same time.

"It's time for you to be an exchange student. Return to China at the end of the year?"

Holding a coffee cup, Yu Wenfei asked while stirring gently with a silver spoon.

Zhou Mengqi came to Stanford after this year. Generally, the study period for this kind of exchange students is one year, and they still have to go back to the original school to study after the end.

"That...he gave me a full scholarship here, and wants me to continue my studies..." Zhou Mengqi hesitated for a moment, then said.

Yu Wenfei smiled. It seems that Zhou Mengqi has performed very well this year. It is much more difficult to get a full scholarship from Stanford than to be admitted to Tsinghua University.

"What do you think? Do you want to stay here?" He asked again.

"From the perspective of academics, I think it might be better to stay here. After all, for my major, the world's top experts are concentrated here." Zhou Mengqi sighed.

Her professional direction is to focus on IC design, that is, "integrated circuit design", and the most commonly used material for integrated circuits is "silicon"!
Reminiscent of Silicon Valley not far from Stanford University, it is of course not surprising that global IC design experts are concentrated here.

As for the country, it is no problem to learn some basic knowledge for this major, but if you want to get in touch with the most cutting-edge technology in the world, you really think too much.

So Zhou Mengqi's inclination is to stay here.

"Then stay at Stanford. By the way, do you have the opportunity to get in touch with those top IC experts?" Yu Wenfei suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Yes, the school often invites experts in the industry to serve as guest professors, and give speeches from time to time. What's the matter?" Zhou Mengqi replied.

"Please help me to pay attention, I may find some experts in this field after a while. In addition to IC experts, there are also talents in industrial design, materials science, storage batteries, etc., which are also needed." Yu Wenfei said.

Zhou Mengqi understood that Yu Wenfei had told her what she would do in the future, and now she was asked to pay attention to experts in this field, so it was naturally for making mobile phones.

However, according to Yu Wenfei's words, he wants to learn from mobile phone giants such as Nokia and Motorola, and conduct comprehensive self-development starting from the chip.

"Chip research and development is very, very difficult. Whether it is a computer chip or a mobile phone chip, it requires huge and long-term investment. However, this investment is also worthwhile. If you want to be an industry giant, you must not be controlled by others on core components. "Zhou Mengqi laughed.

If it is more than ten years later, someone says that he is going to make a mobile phone, and then all the main components such as chips are developed and produced by himself, then others will definitely regard you as crazy.

Because by that time, the chip industry has already been highly monopolized. In advance of mobile phone chips, everyone will only think of Qualcomm and Apple, and barely add HiSilicon.Even a giant like Samsung that eats the entire industry chain has to give up its own chips!

But in 2003, the chip industry was still in chaos.

The desktop-class CPU has long been divided, and Intel and AMD are competing for hegemony.

But on the mobile side, there are too many companies that design and produce chips. The major mobile phone giants have their own chips. In addition, there are Texas Instruments, Plextor, Qualcomm, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, etc., too many up.

At that time, no single company's chips could dominate the world, and everyone didn't pay too much attention to chips, and no country or company regarded chip technology as a cutting-edge technology.

Huawei's HiSilicon obtained the permanent authorization of ARM in [-] before it was able to start developing its own chips.

By the way, whether it is Huawei Hisilicon, Qualcomm, Apple or Samsung, their chips are re-developed on the basis of the ARM instruction set after being authorized by the ARM instruction set.

Of course, ARM didn't expect to make mobile chips at the beginning. It originally wanted to compete with Intel and AMD, but ARM's architecture did not compete with the X86 architecture and was defeated.

The X86 architecture adopted by AMD and Intel follows the "three-high" route of "high cost, high power consumption, and high performance". Therefore, it is easy to apply to large-scale equipment such as desktop computers, and quickly occupied the market.

However, ARM is a "double low" route of "low power consumption and low cost". Naturally, in the era of pursuing performance, it cannot beat the X86 architecture. Naturally, there is no market for it on computers and mainframes.

However, on mobile devices such as mobile phones, ARM has unexpectedly found its own suitable market and has been widely adopted by major manufacturers.

Yuwenfei's plan is to develop its own chip on this basis after obtaining the permanent authorization from ARM!

Of course, chip research and development is still a trivial matter. He started preparations around 2003, and by the time of the smart phone era, he would definitely be able to achieve a relative lead.

But research and development alone is not enough. Huawei's HiSilicon is still a very clear case!

At the beginning, the United States wanted to "sanction" and cut off Huawei ZTE's chips. As a result, ZTE was directly cut off from its "backbone".

However, Huawei took out its own Kirin chip, which not only turned the crisis into safety, but also became famous all over the world and let everyone know that Huawei's layout on the chip has lasted for more than ten years!

Seeing that Huawei still can't be restrained like this, the United States has gone even further. Not only does it not allow European and American companies to provide chips to Huawei, but it also prevents all fabs outside China from contracting Huawei chips!

This is fatal, because domestic fabs are too far behind in technology to be able to produce high-end chips at all.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Yu Wenfei considered the bigger issue, which is chip production!

This is where things get trickier!
The production of chips requires a fab, and the investment in the construction of a fab can be described as "massive funds".

At least the current Yu Wenfei doesn't have the corresponding strength. He still needs to earn two more years of money, and he can start with the fab only after he has made enough preparations and layouts.

…………

"You should also be doing IC design after graduation, do you want to help me?" Yu Wenfei laughed.

Zhou Mengqi smiled and said without hesitation: "Definitely go, otherwise why should I study this major."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Yu Wenfei's eyes were very gentle, maybe because Zhou Mengqi was the first girl he fell in love with after waking up from the dream, so his feelings for Zhou Mengqi were completely different from other girls.

When facing Zhou Mengyi, Wu Xiu, Hu Jingjing, Mo Wenxin and other girls, Yu Wenfei unconsciously treated them with an "older" attitude.

…………

McKenzie Law Firm, specially arranged reception scene.

All the staff are well-dressed, feasting and feasting, and they all hold red wine glasses when they talk, and their conversation is elegant and polite.

When Yu Wenfei, the protagonist of the reception, appeared with Zhou Mengqi on his arm, everyone looked at him, and there was a burst of applause.

McKenzie greeted him enthusiastically, and said with a smile on his face, "Welcome our flying boss."

Looking at Zhou Mengqi, he asked, "This beautiful lady is...?"

"My girlfriend, Zhou Mengqi." Yu Wenfei said bluntly.

This is the first time he has called a certain girl his girlfriend in front of others!
Zhou Mengqi didn't say anything, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. It was the first time she heard Yu Wenfei tell someone that she was his girlfriend.

…………

After the evening reception, Yu Wenfei personally sent Zhou Mengqi back to school.

This surprised Hu Jingjing, seeing what Yu Wenfei and Zhou Mengqi meant to be together, she thought something would happen tonight.

The car was parked on the campus of Stanford University, downstairs where Zhou Mengqi lived. Yu Wenfei got out of the car first, then held the door, and helped Zhou Mengqi down in a gentlemanly manner.

Hu Jingjing sat in the co-pilot's seat and did not bother the two of them knowingly.

"Okay, go back and rest, I'm going back to China tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Yu Wenfei said softly.

Zhou Mengqi stared blankly at Yu Wenfei for a few seconds, then lowered her head and said in a low voice, "You don't blame me, do you?"

Although the words were nonsensical, Yu Wenfei understood in seconds.

"How could it be? I'm happy for you if you can do what you like. But don't get used to the environment here, and you don't want to go back in the future. Let me tell you that no matter how developed the European and American countries are, they will choose the so-called freedom, but this is not our hometown, and it is not suitable for us to live in." Yu Wenfei laughed.

"I understand that when I finish my studies, I will go back immediately." Zhou Mengqi said without hesitation.

Why did she want to take Tsinghua University, why did she choose that major, and why did she go abroad for further study.

Zhou Mengqi never explained these things to Yu Wenfei, because she thought that Yu Wenfei would understand her without explaining.

In fact, Yu Wenfei really understood, so he didn't stop her, but let her choose what she wanted to do.

Even in the future, she will be allowed to choose the life she wants to live.

When parting, Zhou Mengqi had already walked towards the apartment building, and Yu Wenfei stood behind and watched her back.

Suddenly, Zhou Mengqi stopped, turned around and walked back.

When Yu Wenfei was about to ask her if there was anything else, Zhou Mengqi had already lightly flung herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck.

There was a burst of warmth on her lips, and she was "sneak attacked"...

As soon as Yu Wenfei came to his senses, he heard Zhou Mengqi whisper in his ear: "You, I don't ask you to keep yourself clean, but... You must grasp the scale, that little secretary of yours doesn't look right at me, and you still have a Did she come to see me to be angry with me?"

Just when she opened her mouth to say something, Zhou Mengqi put a finger on his lips, "Hee hee, I'm just joking with you, no need to explain, I believe you."

Looking at the back of Zhou Mengqi walking into the apartment building again, a smile appeared on Yu Wenfei's face.
