Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 583 Chips
"Ha, thank you so much, Director Duan."

"You're welcome. I'll go up to the director first. There's a meeting at the Hong Kong government this afternoon that I need to attend. I need to prepare."

"Well, Director Duan can do as he pleases."

Watching Deputy Director Duan walk into the building, Director Huangfu stood under the steps without moving, his eyes still looking into the distance.

She was thinking about Li Heng's purpose for coming here today. No matter what he does, a big man like this must have his intentions, and it is impossible to do some irrelevant things inexplicably.

But leaving her and Deputy Director Duan behind just now may be a silent warning.

Huangfu and Deputy Director Duan were about the same age, both 38 years old, and they were even classmates when they were studying in the beautiful country, and they entered Huasheng together after graduation.

The difference is that she first returned to Hong Kong Island after graduation, and then applied for a job at the headquarters of Huasheng Group. After serving as Fang Xiaoya's secretary for several years, she was directly sent down to the TV station as the director.

And the one with the surname Duan directly entered Huasheng's subsidiary in the beautiful country, and only returned to Hong Kong Island Airborne TV Station as the deputy director three years ago.

It's hard to judge whether the two people are strong or weak, but they are both very capable people. For Deputy Director Duan, it's not easy to be ridden on the head by a classmate or a female classmate. The relationship between them is very subtle.

It is precisely because of the relationship between the two that the workplace politics on TV are happening all the time.

Li Heng was able to come here today, probably because of this matter. Fighting is fine, but who dares to miss my important event and hinder the healthy development of the TV station, haha...

Thinking of this, Huangfu let out a sigh of relief. Today's Mr. Li and the one she met when she was Fang Xiaoya's secretary are completely two people, one is like the big brother next door, and today this one is completely He is a hero, every word and every sentence in the chat has a deep meaning, so that the two people who are usually high-spirited can only be submissive.

It's no wonder that they were able to build a world-renowned giant company from scratch in just 20 years.

……

After leaving the TV station building, Li Heng led Shan Xiangyang and the others to an unobtrusive four-story building in the complex.

People who don't know see this small building at the corner, they will think that this is the office of the property management, and they don't care too much about it, even if there are not too many people working in this building complex Pay attention here, there is no sign in front of the building, everything seems to be normal, but walking into the building is a world of its own.

"Mr. Li, Captain Shan"

The duty officer in the security room on the first floor saw Li Heng coming in, and ran out of the room quickly.

"Well, is Zhiyuan here?"

"President Li is on the first basement floor."

"Get in touch. If there's nothing wrong, let him come up."

"Please wait."

Huasheng Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huasheng Group, if it is not deliberately checked at the Hong Kong Government Industrial and Commercial Registration Office, many people may not know that there is such a company under Huasheng.

Li Zhiyuan is the general manager of this company, and also the most money-burning general manager in Huasheng. Every year, the annual report makes Li Heng's eyes twitch.

There is no way, to build a high-tech company from scratch, it really cannot survive without burning money.

Just the salaries of the underground researchers from all over the world are a bunch of astronomical figures every year, not to mention the constant purchase of some materials that he has never even heard of.

"Sir, why did you come here without saying hello?"

After receiving the phone call, Li Zhiyuan didn't even bother to wait for the elevator, and ran up the stairs in a hurry. In his eyes, Li Heng was the God of Wealth, so he had to confess.

"I didn't intend to come here, but I happened to drop Yirou off to work, so I stopped by to see it. Let's go, I won't go into the office anymore, let's walk outside and chat."

"to make"

"Don't delay your business?"

"No delay, no delay."

"How is it, Zhiyuan, how does the performance of the 1001 chip compare with Intel's 8080, and how big is the gap?"

"Sir, would you believe me if I said that the difference in performance between these two chips is negligible or even negligible?"

When the chip was mentioned, Li Zhiyuan's mood suddenly became agitated, and he said quite excitedly.

"can be ignored?"

Hearing this word, Li Heng who was walking stopped immediately, and looked at Li Zhiyuan in disbelief.

"That's right, sir, it's really negligible. You've burned so much money in the past few years. I have to come up with something to prove that we have been working hard and not just for nothing."

"Can I understand that our chips can also be mass-produced?"

"Of course, the first batch has already rolled off the assembly line at the semiconductor factory, but the yield rate is still a little bit unsatisfactory, but this is not a big problem. Our engineers are debugging the equipment. I believe the yield rate of the next batch of products will be higher than expected." There will be a significant improvement.

With our own chips, the display is produced by our TV factory, and it is only a matter of time before we purchase some other components and assemble a personal computer. "

"Huh..." Li Heng let out a sigh of relief. After five years, he spent more than one billion US dollars, and finally he was going to produce something. He could see the money back, which made him feel a lot easier. .

"However... Sir, don't be too optimistic. The 1002-type chip has already been approved, and the money to be burned in the future will not be much less than before. Besides, you also asked us to make that thing smaller and smaller. Not to mention continuing to make it smaller, but to add more circuits and transistors to the same area, and the degree of difficulty increases geometrically.”

"I understand this. I'm not afraid of burning money. What I'm afraid of is that I can't see a direction when I burn money. Isn't the direction already drawn? I believe that under your leadership, our technology company will definitely fly higher and higher. .”

Who cares, let the jelly beans be fed first.

"By the way, Zhiyuan, does the operating system I mentioned have any clues?"

In the four-story building just now, the laboratory for researching chips is underground, and the upstairs is dedicated to system development. If there is a benchmark for chips, the computer system is completely blind.

Li Heng probably knows that to make a chip is to stuff almost all the things that originally occupied an area of ​​more than 100 square meters into that small chip. The first-generation chip was produced in [-], which is a sample.

But he was really blinded by the operating system. He couldn't understand how to program and realize it, and he couldn't understand binary, so he could only propose a direction and let those people slowly wear it down.
