Reborn Millennial Gamer

"Goode, Paul, I have always been eager to have a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side. Although Logic and Texas Instruments are now cooperating, you should know that Nokia is its ally."

Lu Fei stared at Paul Jacob closely.

At present, there are very few chip manufacturers in the world that can integrate basebands. Even Texas Instruments has always used external basebands because it does not have enough technology accumulation in the communication field.

This is why Texas Instruments dominated the early Android phones, but in the end it was Qualcomm who completed the counter-kill. Even the arrogant Apple had to bow its head because it had no choice.

Logic and Qualcomm form an alliance, each simply takes what it needs.

But it will never sit still and secretly set up the "Balong" project with Huawei HiSilicon for a long time. After all, in the field of communication technology in the country, Huawei regards it as the first, and no one dares to recognize it as the second.

The current Qualcomm is just a temporary substitute.

"Lu, I can't agree more!"

Paul Jacobs excitedly said: "Qualcomm is willing to work with Logic on the Android system and work hard for Logic phones, because I firmly believe that Qualcomm is definitely the strongest in the field of baseband.

I can reveal to you an internal message, tentatively scheduled for November this year, Qualcomm will release possibly the first 11nm process chip with a main frequency of 1Ghz. "

Snapdragon S1 out?
Lu Fei couldn't help being a little surprised, and then he was surprised and happy.

"Is 1Ghz too high?"

Hu Yuhua, Sun Hongjun and others on the side have objections. These days, mainstream brands such as Nokia and Motorola think that 600Mhz processors are enough. A high frequency does not necessarily mean high performance, but it definitely means high energy consumption.

"Not only this one, we will also launch a more advanced processor with a 45nm process and a maximum frequency of 1.4Ghz, which is far superior to the first one in terms of power consumption and performance."

Paul Jacobs sells it with gusto.

Lu Fei said: "Paul, can Qualcomm send a team to connect with the logic? Let's see what the integrated solution will look like on the phone."

"There is no problem at all! Qualcomm's engineering team is not only good at developing end-to-end solutions, but also provides system-level solutions, including mobile devices."

Paul Jacob's tone was full of sincerity: "Lu, I really hope that Logic's mobile phone can use Qualcomm's 3G earlier, as well as 4G and even 5G in the future."

"Are you already working on 5G technology?"

"Well, the board of directors just approved this year and decided to invest 20% of Qualcomm's annual revenue in 5G research and development."

Hey!
Seeing Paul Jacobs full of confidence, Lu Fei felt very uncomfortable. It can be said that Huawei and Logic are already the first echelon of the most top-notch technology companies in China. They are two swords combined, but they are still struggling to understand 3G. What the hell is sprinting towards 5G.

It can be seen how difficult it was for Huawei in the previous life to catch up.

The smiles on the faces of Hu Yuhua, Sun Hongjun and others gradually disappeared, because the mobile phone shocked the joy of the president of Qualcomm, and they couldn't help feeling heavy in their hearts, and they all thought of——

1 years is too long, seize the day!

But no matter what, the harvest is full. Under the external troubles of Intel 3.5G and the internal troubles of securing the throne, Paul Jacob personally agrees to license the CDMA patent to Logic and The Paper.

Especially, Surging!

However, there was a disagreement on the distribution of profits. Paul Jacob wanted to get a share of the surging patent fees for the whole machine, but Lu Fei advised him not to think too fancy, and only agreed to patent licensing every two or three years. discount.

After all, 3G is recognized as the "shortest-lived" generation of mobile communication network in China, and it will come to an end in about 6 years.

After some tug-of-war negotiations, there was even a stalemate between big eyes and small eyes. In order to make Lu Fei a friend, Paul Jacob finally gave in and showed the greatest sincerity.

Not only does it give discounts to patent licensing, but it is also willing to invest money to set up a R&D innovation center in Pengcheng in a joint venture with Logic.

"Good cooperation, Paul."

Lu Fei stood up very satisfied and stretched out his hand.

"Under the witness of God, wish us a happy cooperation."

Paul Jacob shook his hand a few times.

.........

In the next few days, Lu Fei dispatched Sun Hongjun and Hu Yuhua, representing Logic and Pengpai respectively, to work with Qualcomm's negotiating team to improve the overall framework of the patent licensing agreement.

Lu Fei and Paul Jacobs have already set up the skeleton, and all that remains is to fill it with flesh and blood.

Not surprisingly, Qualcomm is tied to a warship.

It is still short of allies in the mobile phone system ecology and applications. The answer is obvious, and it must be Google.

But unlike the previous life, the Android ecosystem has to be managed by logic!

Lu Fei twirled his pen, scribbled and changed on the paper, wrote and drew, not only to let Google have a big cake similar to GMS in the Android alliance, but also to prevent Google from turning its back on customers.

"President Lu! President Lu!"

While thinking hard, Hu Yuhua knocked on the door and came in, excitedly holding a stack of thick documents. He thought it was a contract with Qualcomm, but unexpectedly it was the first quarter report of The Paper.

Lu Fei flipped through it casually, and the huge pie chart on the title page immediately caught his attention. Almost 66% of the mobile phones sold in the first quarter of the country were equipped with the surging Wave platform, not counting knockoff phones without licenses and difficult to count.

It's only been a short month, and it's terrifying!
"If this trend continues, Pengpai's market share will exceed 85%, and revenue estimates will even surpass Nvidia and AMD, ranking seventh in the world in IC, and Fuxin is likely to enter the list of the top [-] semiconductor manufacturers in the world. .”

Hu Yuhua trembled when he spoke, and was extremely excited.

"I'm sure I can get in! Does The Paper have any competitors?"

The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned upward, not because he was too strong, but because big manufacturers like Qualcomm and Texas Instruments would never sell arms to mobsters. Even if counterfeit machine manufacturers could buy them, they didn't have the technical strength to digest these chips. We can only honestly purchase the surging package solution.

For a mere dollar, you have to find funds, prepare inventory, pay bills, catch customers, go to bed late and get up early, and end up working for Mr. Lu, Fuxin and Pengpai make a fortune.

"Have."

Hu Yuhua reminded: "There is a company called MediaTek in Wanwan, and like The Paper, they also start a 'turnkey' business. The quotation is 10 points lower than ours. Lenovo, Konka, and Amoi all chose MediaTek.

Mr. Lu, should we take advantage of MediaTek's unstable foothold and strike first, or else snobs like Bird and Gionee may turn against them as soon as the contract expires? "

"No, we must not be the overlord of Western Chu, otherwise it would not be true as the complaint said, I am monopolizing the domestic low-end chip market, this crime is not a small one." Lu Fei shook his head and laughed, "Besides, MediaTek's transfer to the mainland market may not be a coincidence. Good thing."

Hu Yuhua was puzzled, it was obviously a bad thing, MediaTek was already fighting a price war, and it was going to hit the doorstep soon, so how could it be a good thing?

"Think about it, think about it carefully."

Lu Fei patiently explained, "If there is no MediaTek, all the low-end phones and counterfeit phones in the country will use Pengpai, which means that the mobile phone solutions of thousands of manufacturers are completely homogeneous. Without differentiation, how can they compete? There is no secondary development Is there only room for price wars?
If you want to make a profit, you can only "suck phone bills" and "make high imitation" and other illegal routes. Then the market will be completely chaotic. Do you think the relevant departments will sit idly by? "

"It will be suppressed, even blocked."

Hu Yuhua suddenly realized that The Paper is the catfish of domestic brands, and MediaTek is the catfish of The Paper, and can also share the bad reputation and hatred. If The Paper is the king of copycat phones, then MediaTek is the queen of copycat phones.

"Not only that, but also the pressure exerted by the United States."

Lu Fei crossed his hands, his face darkened.

Almost all of Pengpai's current customers are domestic brands. In the eyes of America, it is a Chinese company that needs special treatment, and it will even affect the logic. Just like Huawei, it is completely excluded from the American market.

Why are ZTE, Xiaomi, and OnePlus not available?
Because just like Lianxiang, the United States has earned all the money!
"I understand, Mr. Lu, no wonder you want to cooperate with Qualcomm, no wonder you insist on only using [-]% of the domestic chips, and [-]% of the purchase of the United States. Just find fault."

Hu Yuhua took a breath.

"Lying hard and tasting courage, wretched development."

Lu Fei said with firm eyes: "So MediaTek can't move, even if it grabs more market share, it's better. The United States and the Great Empire have the same virtue, and they both like to play offshore balance. As for the share we lost, we will go overseas to expand. Go to India, Northern Europe, and Southeast Asia to grab customers."

"Your trick is called, Yang Kou Zizhi."

Hu Yuhua's eyes flickered, full of admiration.

Lu Fei nodded lightly, and then talked about the current and future plans based on the report of the first quarter, especially when the first year of smartphones comes, there must be a transformation and a change of play.

It has been said until the sunset, the sunset is in the sky.

"It's late, is there anything else?"

"Ah, I was so busy talking, I almost forgot a big event. Mr. Lu, good news, great news! The news I got today is that Foxin has broken through the 90nm process!"

"Really?!"

.........

What is the concept of 90nm process?
SMIC only started commercial trial production last year, and the next step is to conquer the 65nm process. This speed has already shocked the industry, because the foundry giants TSMC and UMC only announced the launch of 65nm samples at the beginning of the year.

Fuxin Semiconductor's wafer foundry level, after sparing no effort to dig Samsung, Toshiba, and even TSMC, SMIC, finally surpassed the domestic semiconductors such as Huarong, which was established earlier, and firmly settled in China's first-class, the world's second-largest popular column.

It is already possible to produce 2G NAND flash memory with the logic process technology authorized by Toshiba and Samsung, and with the protracted litigation battle between TSMC and SMIC, under the turmoil, orders for some 90nm DRAM chips from Elpida and Qimonda are slowly increasing. Transferred to Fuxin Semiconductor.

It's a matter of joy and joy, and of course there is a big celebration banquet.

Lu Fei didn't go to the table, and no one dared to move their chopsticks.

But when he came to the table, one by one scrambled to toast the cups, pushed the cups and exchanged cups, toasted and staggered, drank round after round, and when it was over, his face was flushed and his whole body was swaying.

At the entrance of the Wangfu Hotel where the neon lights were flashing, he leaned down and stood beside an Audi A6, and said vaguely in a drunken way:
"Liu Bu, go slowly Liu Bu."

"You don't care about me, let's see how drunk you are, go back quickly." Minister Liu told the driver to drive away after a few words.

Watching Audi slowly drive out of sight, Lu Fei, who was dazed and staring, suddenly opened his eyes, his face was not as drunk as before, his spirit trembled, and he spoke clearly:

"Brother Ben, where's the car?"

"Here we come, boss."

Wang Ben opened the rear door, "Where are you going?"

"Tired, let's go back to Qingcui Garden."

Lu Fei stretched his waist, and as soon as he got into the car, he immediately yawned a long way, feeling a little tired physically and mentally.

After wandering away for a while, he came to the main entrance of the central villa area, and saw a large number of paparazzi squatting in groups, and unremarkable vans parked on the side of the road not far away, it is very likely that Yuji is secretly lurking , Waiting for an opportunity to take a sneak shot.

"Look at my memory."

Lu Fei patted his forehead with a slap, and then remembered that the news of Wang Fei's pregnancy had been revealed. Various media outlets were caught up in the news, and even released a high reward of "50 yuan for a photo". Such a small amount of money, paparazzi It's like going crazy.

In order to protect Wang Fei, Li Yapeng had to hire bodyguards to follow him back and forth.

At this time, the obstetrics and gynecology department of Yanjing Second Hospital.

Gao Yuanyuan thoughtfully supported the pregnant Wang Fei, walked out, looked at the bodyguards like iron walls, and said with emotion:

"Feifei, you guys are too exaggerated."

"It's not an exaggeration at all. Let me tell you that these paparazzi are really pervasive. Not long ago, I met a boy pretending to deliver food, which shocked me." Wang Fei rubbed his belly, "The doctor said Maybe in May, I don't want to miss anything."

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help sighing: "This is too crazy!"

"The mainland is not bad, but Xiangjiang's is even more frenzied." Wang Fei turned to look at his best friend, "If you are pregnant, it may be a sensation in Hong Kong, and all the paparazzi will be dispatched."

"I'm still early in pregnancy." Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes.

Wang Fei asked curiously: "Then when? Did you discuss it with your family?"

Gao Yuanyuan looked at her swollen belly with complicated eyes, "Well, I don't know, but it's definitely not now, we are all on the rise of our careers, we are so busy that we don't have time to eat together, even if we meet up, it's already late at night, he has Sometimes I was so tired that I fell asleep, puffing, and snoring very loudly."

Wang Fei frowned, and reminded that career support belongs to support, but normal life has to be lived, should you be tired or have to be tired, otherwise what kind of couple are you?
"If it was me in the past, I would have hoped that he would be a prince, treat me like a little princess, make me happy every day, and hang around me every day, but I found that such a person is not a prince."

Gao Yuanyuan touched the diamond ring on her finger, "A real prince should stand up and protect me from the wind and rain when I need him."

Wang Fei seemed to meet his best friend for the first time: "Yuanyuan, you have changed, you would never say such things before."

"People always change, haven't you become a mother too?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and played with Wang Fei along the way, but when the two parted, she returned to the villa alone, glanced at the empty house, and sighed resentfully.

"I'm home?"

Wrapped in a bathrobe, Lu Fei came out of the bedroom.

Gao Yuanyuan watched him go downstairs, thinking that she used to talk on the phone all night, and now the content of the chat gradually changed to "you go home first, I'll come back later", "I'm tired, let's talk tomorrow", once The days before the flowers and the moon, and the days of spending time together are much less, and the resentment that was simmering in my heart surged up in an instant.

"It's so rare that you finally came back earlier than me."

"Aren't I busy? Look, I'll come back as soon as I'm done. Yuanyuan, I miss you so much."

Lu Fei was keenly aware of her dissatisfaction, and coaxed and hugged her.

"You are a busy person, do you still miss me?"

"How do idlers know? How much busy people miss idlers."

"Really miss me?"

Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, "How much do you think?"

"I won't say it, I will only prove it with actions."

Lu Fei grabbed her hand and reached under the bathrobe, "Landlord, you have confiscated the public grain for a month, shouldn't it be time to collect the rent?"

"1 month? Huh, it's obviously 2 months, don't you want to pay interest!"
