Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 298 An oolong reversal, a boy who gave away money, a sky-high order of 130.7 billion US dollars!
The "chip gate" incident has gradually fermented on the Internet, and the energy consumption, heat dissipation and battery life of the LG G5 have become the biggest pain points that plague consumers.

You must know that the launch price of this flagship smartphone in 2016 was as high as 82.8 Korean coins, which is approximately equal to 4388 Chinese coins. He pointed the finger at Pickaxe.

Previously, the Snapdragon series chips purchased by LG Electronics have not had any problems.

Recently, Haotong just updated the list of foundry service providers, supplying LG with these Snapdragon 820 chips, respectively from Bay Semiconductor and Shanhai Microelectronics.

Immediately, these unlucky people who had nowhere to vent subconsciously believed that the production process of Shanhai Microelectronics was flawed.

"Xipal! There must be a problem with the chip quality of Huaguo!"

"It's completely unreasonable for an unpopular semiconductor company to announce three breakthroughs in the manufacturing process in just one year. The performance of their 14nm chips may not be as good as Sanxing's 28nm!"

"..."

A foreign student from Huaguo saw this kind of remarks on the BBS forum in Korea, and couldn't help but burst into a deep anger.

"It's grandma, it dared to pour dirty water on Shanhai Weidian without a thorough investigation, it's too much!"

Peng Cheng said indignantly.

As a student majoring in communication engineering at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Lianye wrote an application called "Snapdragon 820 Indentifier" and put it on a free resource website for people to download.

Users only need to authorize the installation, and then return to the desktop to start the software. The CPU model and manufacturer will be displayed at the top of the screen. Snapdragon 820 WSMC is the chip of Bay Semiconductor, and Snapdragon 820 ShanHai is the chip of Shanhai Microelectronics.

With the increase in the number of software downloads, the original mocking remarks somehow disappeared overnight.

Peng Cheng glanced at the query data in the background statistics, curled his lips in disdain.

There are 820 Snapdragon 36754 WSMC verified users, and 820 Snapdragon 3769 ShanHai verified users, accounting for only 9.3%.

Although he does not know whether the LG G5 mobile phone purchased by the person who uses the identification tool has problems with excessive energy consumption and poor performance.

But from the perspective of human nature, if there is no problem, it will not waste time downloading the program to verify.

With the help of the "Snapdragon 820 Indentifier", a serious-minded digital blogger quickly got two LG G820s equipped with different Snapdragon 5 chips, and started to evaluate them after they were fully charged.

So he was surprised to find that the battery life of the Shanhai Microelectronics version is 2 hours better than that of the Bay Semiconductor version, and the heat dissipation performance of the Shanhai Microelectronics version is also better than that of the Snapdragon 820.

AiTuTu running points, the GSMC version is 15.8, and the Shanhai Microelectronics version is 16.9.

In terms of overall performance, the Shanhai Microelectronics version of the Snapdragon 820 chip is at least 5%-7% higher.

The digital blogger uploaded the evaluation video intact to overseas websites, which became the most direct and effective evidence to slap Korean netizens in the face.

"I don't believe it, the video must have been edited!"

"Two mobile phones, such a small sample size, what can it represent? I look forward to the official release of the data, so that these Chinese people with sensitive self-esteem can shut up quickly."

"Shanhai Microelectronics got out of the semiconductor industry, you simply don't have the ability to produce high-end chips!"

This group of people is still dead duck mouthed, kept clamoring.

Until the next morning, LG Electronics announced that it would recall all G820 mobile phones equipped with the Snapdragon 5 chip from Gulf Semiconductors in Korea, causing shock in the circle for a while.

This new product, which has been on the line for less than half a month, actually wants to quell the anger of consumers through a recall?

This move is tantamount to admitting in disguise that the Snapdragon 820 chip produced by Gulf Semiconductor has major flaws.

"Yesterday you barked like a dog on the Internet, what about people now? What? @山海微电 is rubbish"

"Little rookie, come out and face grandpa, and see how labor and management slap you in the face!"

"There is no one who can fight, and it all depends on the mouth?"

Netizens from Huaguo logged into the popular Korean forums, threw out all kinds of emoticons and jokes, and crazily whipped the Koreans whose hearts were hurt by critical blows.

In the end, the rational debate turned into a war of words and emoticons...

Meng Haodong of Haotong obtained an authoritative test report. Among the 1000 samples, chips from Gulf Semiconductors and Shanhai Microelectronics each accounted for 50%, and carried out limit tests in various performance fields.

Judging from the results, the Snapdragon 820 produced by Shanhai Microelectronics beats Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in almost all directions!

Processor Performance: 6.3% faster and more responsive;

Memory and storage performance: 3.9% faster data transfer;

Battery efficiency and energy-saving performance: battery life exceeds 7.2%;

Network connection performance: 2.7% higher speed and stability
"How did they do it?"

Meng Haodong was in a daze, a little puzzled.

Both GSMC and Shanhai Microelectronics manufacture Snapdragon 820 chips according to standard chip electronic documents and production specifications. Even if the production process and employee operation level are inconsistent, there will be a performance error of at most 2~3%.

But the reality told him that the same chip has an overall performance difference of more than 5%!

"Help me contact Mr. Chen of Shanhai Microelectronics. I ask to meet him."

Meng Haodong pondered for a moment, then sent the test report to the headquarters, explaining the whole story of the "chip gate" by the way.

Not long after, the secretary opened the door and walked in. He smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, I have already made an appointment for you. Tomorrow at the headquarters of Shanhai Microelectronics, it will be at 14:[-] in the afternoon."

"OK, all right."

Meng Haodong nodded, and then called Sanxing, HOC, and Sunny one by one to synchronize the investigation results, and promised to list the last batch of chips from Bay Semiconductor as a gift for the order and make them up for the next purchase.

The big oolong incident was completely reversed!
Netizens in Korea were silent, while netizens in Huaguo were elated. This is the first time that domestic chip technology has been recognized by the international market.

Pertone, Fututong and Renesas Electronics sent a business delegation to Shanghai to evaluate the equipment foundation, production process control, quality management system, etc. of Shanhai Microelectronics, and prepare to adjust their own chip foundry service provider structure.

Bay Semiconductor is no longer their first choice!
……

Sitting on the soft boss chair, Chen Heyu didn't expect that the production of chips for Haotong's foundry would cause such a big twists and turns.

A few days ago, Shanhai Microelectronics was scolded miserably on the Internet. Some netizens who didn't know the truth sarcastically teased them viciously, saying that the face of domestic chips was completely lost.

A look of anger and indisputability, as if Shanhai Microelectronics has done something shameful.

Now the big reversal, these people have disappeared without a trace, and those who remain are all touting.

"Boss, Mr. Meng and the others have arrived, and Mr. Wang is receiving them."

Assistant Xiao Yao reminded.

"Take me there."

Chen Heyu said in a relaxed tone. He was very clear about Meng Haodong's intention for coming. It was nothing more than increasing the order amount and deepening cooperation.

Walking out of the office, he went straight to the reception room.

"President Chen, I'm sorry to bother you."

When Meng Haodong saw the visitor, he got up happily, and held Chen Heyu's hand, his face full of spring breeze.

"Mr. Meng is polite, you come to deliver orders to Shanhai Microelectronics, I'm glad it's too late, so why bother.

If this is a nuisance, Mr. Meng will have to walk around more in the future. "

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

He then motioned everyone to sit down and talk.

"Mr. Chen, let me make a long story short. The headquarters decided to hand over the annual order demand for Snapdragon 820 and 650 chips to Shanhai Microelectronics for OEM.

In addition, for the upcoming Snapdragon 825, we can sign a contract first, and then start production after the R&D center completes the design documents. "

Meng Haodong said frankly.

"No problem, what about Snapdragon 625?"

Chen Heyu asked.

"Mr. Chen won the mid-to-high-end market, do you still care about low-end chips?"

Meng Haodong said leisurely.

"Mosquito legs are also meat. What's more, Shanhai Microelectronics has such technical strength. I believe Mr. Meng should have compared the process differences between us and Gulf Semiconductor."

Chen Heyu said meaningfully.

A year ago, Shanhai Microelectronics' production process, technology, and technology were not mature enough, and the main means of attracting customers was price. At present, the yield rate, energy consumption, and performance of Shanhai Microelectronics have surpassed Bay Semiconductor.

Of course, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill them all!
He will never forget the small tricks that Bay Semiconductor did behind the scenes, equipment blockade, and dark methods. If Shi Yang hadn't taken the risk to help him get a batch of ion implanters and etching machines, Shanhai Microelectronics would definitely not be able to win. Orders from Apple, NVIDIA and PickTone.

If you have technology alone, you will be blind without equipment!

"I tried to convince the board, but I can't guarantee the outcome."

Meng Haodong thought for a while and said.

"Thank you. Mr. Meng came and went in a hurry last time. This time, I will entertain him well and show my friendship as a landlord."

Chen Heyu smiled and invited the other party to his private dinner.

During the banquet, He Tingbo, Wang Maosong, Wu Maozhe, Ye Youcheng and others accompanied him, nominally to let Meng Haodong get acquainted with Shanhai Microelectronics' chip technology level, but actually to show off his muscles and talk about development prospects and industry potential.

Meng Haodong's heart sank, he knew the subtext in Chen Heyu's words, and wanted to lure him into a group and join Shanhai Weidian.

With his current status, can he still get higher treatment?

As the director of Haotong Dahua District, his annual basic salary is 60 US dollars, the bonus is linked to performance, which is about 100 million to 150 million US dollars, and other types of subsidies are 20 US dollars. Part of the income is related to stock awards.

On the whole, if you earn more than 300 million US dollars a year, you can be regarded as a top worker in any region of the world.

But when he caught sight of Wu Maozhe opposite him, he immediately smiled with relief. Chen Heyu dared to give a bonus of 2.2 million US dollars to a mere chip engineer. The other party was obviously not a stingy boss.

Meng Haodong didn't agree in person, but he couldn't help but secretly had other thoughts.

After the banquet, Chen Heyu personally sent him to the car and left.

"Boss, do you think he will agree?"

He Tingbo asked.

She understands that Shanhai Microelectronics needs a manager who understands the overseas chip market to develop a broader source of revenue for the company and enrich the KA customer base.

Instead of relying on Wang Maosong for domestic business, and Chen Heyu for international business.

"Is there anyone who doesn't love money?"

Chen Heyu smiled lightly, patted Wu Maozhe on the shoulder and said, "Did the old fox leave your contact information?"

"Ah! How do you know?"

Wu Maozhe was stunned for a moment, then took out a brand new business card from his pocket in embarrassment, and made a gesture of throwing it into the trash can.

"Take it away, if Hotong offers competitive terms, I can also readjust the salary and treatment system."

Chen Heyu joked.

When eating, Meng Haodong inadvertently kept his eyes on Wu Maozhe, and even though he tried his best to conceal it, he still noticed it.

A former NVIDIA engineer, who hasn't touched his job for three years, can independently handle the 16nm chip process on a crude basis.

If you change to a more favorable R&D environment, can you shrink the process to 10 nanometers?

Many overseas semiconductor design companies have thought of poaching corners, but after they contacted them, they were rejected before they reported the conditions.

Some of them finished talking about the signing fee, salary, bonus and stock policy, but in exchange for ruthless refusal.

Are you kidding me?
People with a normal mind would not choose to travel across the ocean to work for a lower salary.

The basic salary of Shanhai Microelectronics is 20% higher than that of other ranks except for the lowest level of engineers, which is the same as that of the Guigu semiconductor industry.

Coupled with generous quarterly bonuses, year-end bonuses, and a comprehensive welfare system, no one agrees to quit at all.

At that time, strict competition regulations and high liquidated damages were also part of the reason.

"Hey, don't try to fool me, do you want to save my bonus?"

Wu Maozhe didn't miss it, and stuffed the business card into the trash can.

Having worked in NVIDIA for many years, he knows the salary of Guigu chip industry very well. No matter how high the salary is, can it surpass the annual dividend of hundreds of millions of dollars?

As long as he resigns from Shanhai Weidian, this dividend will be lost forever.

"You have a good idea. Did you hear Mr. He? If you have time, set up a headhunting company and poach Mr. Wu first. We can save more than one billion Chinese dollars a year."

Chen Heyu half-jokingly said.

"Hmph! Don't even think about it, I will work for you for every lifetime!"

Wu Maozhe gritted his teeth.

"..."

Chen Heyu laughed, who said technicians don't love money?Immediately bid farewell to a few people, got in the car, and went home from get off work.

the next few days.

Pickone re-signed the OEM contract with an order value of US$41.5 billion!

Sunny is the second chip design company to sign a cooperation agreement, with an order value of US$8.3 million!

Pertone is the third, with an order value of US$17.9 billion!

Fututong is the fourth company with an order value of US$3 million!

Including the previous OEM orders from Apple and NVIDIA, the cumulative total is US$130.7 billion, which is only the business volume of six partners in overseas markets.

Bay Island thousands of miles away.

Zhang Zhimou of Bay Semiconductor has gone mad with anger. Hetong is his core customer. After losing, this year's performance will be disastrous.

The 20 lithography machines of Ames can be returned completely, because the production capacity does not match the order, and it is also dusty to buy them back.

"Besse Mai, you must help me this time. If this continues, the company will lay off employees and reduce production capacity."

Zhang Zhimou contacted a major shareholder behind Bay Semiconductor.

"Shit! It's not because of GSMC itself. I have communicated with the board of directors of Haotong before to help you keep 40% of the orders, but you are not up to date."

One of Badley's executives scolded sharply.

"Is there any way to sanction the other party?"

Zhang Zhimou's old voice carried a sinister aura.
