Rebirth is very troublesome

Chapter 757: Nutshell II

Even though Wang Yu was in an invincible position in Qin Shiyu's heart, she still couldn't believe that Nokia would be defeated like this.

In her opinion, such a chance was so small that it could be ignored, so she said this exclamation in front of Wang Yu, which was regarded as a kind of doubt.

"Many people think I'm betting, but Apple's Joe believes it!"

Wang Yu took the tea cup from Ruan Peiling and continued: "He is a kind of intuition that is somewhere between belief and vagueness, while I have a clear underlying logic."

I may have heard Wang Yu mention it before, but Qin Shiyu blurted out: "Mobile phone system?!"

"Although Apple is developing its own system, at least it is still using Android!"

"So do we."

Qin Shiyu murmured to herself: "You were the first to invest in the Nuwa system in the southwest, but the Guoke I generation is also using Android."

"The noble Nokia itself has an imperfect Symbian system. How could they lower their noble heads and use Android?"

Wang Yu tapped his fingers on the table: "Users will vote with their money. Just watch, it will only take a year or two."

For a while, the office was quiet.

Wang Yu did not force Qin Shiyu to accept what had not happened yet, so he changed the subject and asked: "Let's talk about the research and development progress of the Nutshell II generation!"

"The overall research and development progress of the Guoke II generation is almost 80% complete!"

After shelving the problem, Qin Shiyu gathered her mood and opened a document on her computer desktop.

"Boss, look, these are several key issues that need to be solved in the Guoke II generation. I have listed a table and reflected the current research and development progress in the table."

Wang Yu browsed the form and listened to Qin Shiyu's explanation.

"First of all, based on the size of the mobile phone, the Guoke I generation is still a little smaller than male users, especially when inputting text. The small-sized Guoke I generation obviously has very obvious flaws. This time we will switch to 4 inch LCD screen, and the resolution should also be improved.”

Qin Shiyu still remembers the data without looking at the computer: "Since you have reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Samsung, there is no problem on this aspect. All kinds of adaptability tests have been completed, and we have cooperated with Samsung." The purchase contract is also ready to be signed.”

Having said this, she looked at Wang Yu behind the computer and said, "Boss, is this why you want to cooperate with Changhong Group to develop mobile phone LCD panels?"

Wang Yu did not directly answer Qin Shiyu, but pointed to something else: "The era of smartphones is coming, and various domestic smartphones will also appear in droves next year. The R&D projects in cooperation with Changhong will initially meet the low requirements." It is not difficult to produce first-class mobile phone LCD panels, which is also the way to survive in the market.”

Qin Shiyu understood this answer but Qin Shiyu understood it. What Wang Yu meant was that for at least a few years, mobile phone LCD panels will have to be imported, and the projects in Mianyang will have to rely on the low-end market to support themselves in the short term. , there is still a long way to go before we can catch up with the world's first-class level!
"The second thing is network speed."

After skipping the first point, Qin Shiyu talked about the second point on the table: "The mainstream mobile phones currently circulating in the domestic market generally support HSDPA or HSDPA+, and the speed is only 21Mbps or even 14.4Mbps, and our WCDMA currently It only supports 21Mbps, but you insist on a speed of 42Mbps. Isn’t this a waste?”

"It will always get upgraded!"

Wang Yu said with a smile: "Just think of it as a surprise from the ambush!"

"The third point is to improve the battery life of the Guoke II generation. This is a bit difficult and the current progress is not great."

Qin Shiyu continued to report: "Currently, Samsung is the only one abroad that does a better job in this area. From the testing of existing products, its performance can barely reach the specifications of the HuoHua II generation, so should we consider it as a display screen?" Same. Import part first?"

"Walk on two legs!"

Wang Yu thought for a while and said, "Have you not contacted Guoke New Energy?"

“Isn’t our Guoke New Energy a company that produces large storage batteries?”

In Qin Shiyu's concept, this company, one of the first companies to be spun off from engine technology, is preparing to supply new energy vehicles in the future. The direction of research and development and production is completely different from that of mobile phone batteries.

"You!"

After clicking Qin Shiyu, Wang Yu picked up the phone and dialed Guo Yuan's number.

"Come to my office!"

Wang Yu said directly on the phone: "Bring the battery technology research and development information of Guoke New Energy!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "Let's ask Guo Yuan later. Even though Guoke New Energy has not developed mobile phone batteries yet, the technical theory is universal. It will be like mobile phone LCD panels. While researching and developing, some of it will be imported for use.”

Qin Shiyu nodded with a blush on her cheeks. She did make a dogmatic mistake in this matter and took it too much for granted.

Guo Yuan was on the 37th floor, and it only took a few minutes to get up. She came over with her computer without letting Wang Yu and Qin Shiyu wait any longer.

"Boss, President Qin!"

"Sit over there and talk."

Wang Yu clicked on the reception area, then pressed the button on the side of the table, calling Ruan Peiling in again.

Qin Shiyu also came to the reception area with her computer and sat down. Without waiting for Wang Yu to speak, she took the initiative to ask Guo Yuan: "Does Guoker New Energy's current research and development of new energy batteries include the research and development of mobile phone batteries? "

"Yes, I have!"

Two short words came out of Guo Yuan's mouth, which immediately surprised and delighted Qin Shiyu.

Wang Yu stopped interrupting and was busy handling the cigars, and asked Ruan Peiling to take out a box of 7-year-old white tea to brew.

Although he didn't make the smooth movements of making Pu'er, Wang Yu seemed to be glued to the tea table, smoking a cigar leisurely and drinking the sweet white tea. He seemed to have forgotten that there were two generals behind him. Discussing very important things.

"boss"

Qin Shiyu's slightly embarrassed voice came from behind: "Guoke New Energy is already providing mobile phone batteries to domestic mobile phone brands!"

"That means the technical parameters cannot meet the needs of the Guoker II generation?"

“It’s not yet achieved!”

"Give me the required indicators and parameters!"

Guo Yuan raised her eyebrows, as if she was now the CEO of Guoke New Energy: "Currently in the research of lithium batteries, Guoke New Energy can be said to be at the forefront of the industry, and the technologies are similar. Give us a few months Time will definitely help you overcome this problem!"

Qin Shiyu looked at Guo Yuan and then at Wang Yu with her mouth slightly open.

Wang Yu turned around and looked at Guo Yuan, with a half-smile on his face.

The expression on Guo Yuan's face suddenly became rich, and after a long while, she turned away and stopped talking.
"I'll arrange a position for you later!"

Wang Yu turned to Ruan Peiling and said: "The board of directors will draft a document later and appoint Guo Yuan, director of the board secretary committee, to concurrently serve as director and executive vice president of Guoke New Energy Group!"

"Okay, boss!"

Just when Ruan Peiling agreed, Guo Yuan turned her head and twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a look of uncontrollable joy.

"You two will discuss this matter privately later."

After Wang Yu finished instructing the two of them, he looked at Qin Shiyu: "You continue!"

"The fourth point is the chip issue."

Qin Shiyu calmed down and continued her report: "The original Guoke I used a dual-core A9 architecture. Now it is very difficult to significantly improve the performance. The public relations team has considered using a quad-core architecture, but it is obviously not possible. The final conclusion is that unless more advanced chip manufacturing processes are used!”

"32nm?"

Qin Shiyu nodded.

This obviously stumped Wang Yu. In his past memory, 32nm process chips would not be available until 2011, and now it is only in the second half of 2009. Obviously, even the most high-end chips in the world cannot satisfy him.

"Let's put this aside for now!"

Wang Yu sighed helplessly: "This thing cannot be solved in a short while, and it may not be realized next year. Looking back at the situation after the investment and completion of Cai Jingan's chip factory, if the 32nm technology is realized by then, the procurement will be convenient!"

At the same time, a thought suddenly flashed in Wang Yu's mind: stacking technology!
Before he could continue thinking, Qin Shiyu talked about the fifth point.

"The last point is the technical issue of the front and rear cameras."

In order to rush to launch the Guoke I generation, Wang Yu adopted a compromise policy. The pixels of the rear camera of the mobile phone were okay, but the front camera only had 30 pixels, which was really not good.

Therefore, when developing the Guoke II generation, Wang Yu insisted on solving this original compromise problem.

"Based on the requirement of at least 90 pixels and preferably 120 million pixels, I estimate that it can be completed before the planned release date of the second generation of Nutshell."

Qin Shiyu looked at Wang Yu and said, "I will keep an eye on the progress of this!"

"Ok!"

Wang Yu was a little absent-minded, and the "flash of inspiration" just now was always swirling in his mind.

"The rest are some minor technical upgrades, such as new APP software installation, such as shell material upgrades."

Qin Shiyu turned the computer in Wang Yu's direction again: "These are also listed in a separate table, and the progress is also marked. There are eleven sub-level improvements like this. At present, the problems are not big. We can follow the established plan. Finish."

After the report, Qin Shiyu found that Wang Yu seemed to be focused on other places, and for a moment he didn't know whether to disturb him or not.

However, Guo Yuan asked softly from the side: "Mr. Qin, excluding the chip problem mentioned by the boss just now, when is the Guoke II expected to be released?"

Qin Shiyu thought for a while and then replied: "The press conference will be held at the end of June next year!"

"so slow?"

According to Guo Yuan's understanding, among the mobile phone models currently on the market, the same brand will have a new main model in almost half a year. The Guohuo II generation takes nearly a year, which in her opinion is a bit slow.

"We don't have enough technical reserves!"

Qin Shiyu said with a bitter face: "You have heard part of the report just now. From the operating system to the mobile phone display, from chips to batteries, almost everything has to be purchased from outside. What Guoke Electronic Technology can do now is really There are not many, and the patents involved so far are the industrial appearance design of mobile phones. As for the model concept of the new generation of smartphones, this thing can only be regarded as a business idea and cannot be called a patent."

“No wonder the boss wants to set up such a big stall!”

Guo Yuan sighed: "From the layout of the chip industry, to the mobile phone LCD panel R&D industry, new energy battery industry, Nuwa system..., and the boss of the mobile phone processing and production base, he is building a closed-loop production chain for Guoke mobile phones!"

"That will happen at least ten years later!"

Qin Shiyu also lowered her voice and said: "I can't imagine how much money we have to invest in these ten years. It would be so easy if the boss used it to do other things." "Because of this, he deserves our full devotion. Follow, don’t you?”

Guo Yuan blinked at Qin Shiyu: "This time I was scolded in HK but I couldn't speak!"

"?"

Facing Qin Shiyu's confused eyes, Guo Yuan repeated Bai Jieru's original words.

Qin Shiyu looked thoughtful, and after a moment she looked at Guo Yuan and said, "It was Fan Jie first, then Zhang Jingyan, and now you are starting to realize it, too!"

"Mr. Fan is not enlightened, is he?"

Guo Yuan replied without thinking: "She has dedicated herself to the boss a long time ago. She doesn't think as much as we do!"

"I thought of a way!"

While the two were talking softly, Wang Yu suddenly shouted loudly: "I can solve the problem of 32nm process chips!"

For a moment, the office was surprisingly quiet!

Even Ruan Peiling, who was making tea, was careful not to breathe loudly.

Guo Yuan and Qin Shiyu looked at each other, looking at each other.

Because I have accompanied Wang Yu to the southwest many times, and I have also been in contact with those laboratories during the inspection, I have some knowledge about the chip industry.

Especially Qin Shiyu, after taking over as the president of Guoker Electronics, has a deep understanding of the most critical part of it because it involves the research and development and production of smartphones.

Now the most advanced mass-produced chips in the world have only reached the 45nm process. Note, this is worldwide!
Just now, he obviously mentioned that he would put this topic on hold for now, but now Wang Yu suddenly shouted that he can solve the problem of 32nm process chips. Isn't this a joke?
But looking at Wang Yu's excited expression, it didn't look like he was joking.

“芯片的制程从最初的0.35微米到0.25微米，后来又到0.18微米、0.13微米、90nm、65nm、45nm更小的几何尺寸意味着每平方毫米有更多的晶体管，意味着更高的密度、时钟、散热设计功耗以及更低的晶体管电压。”

Wang Yu gestured: "The chip manufacturing process refers to the line width of the gate in the transistor structure, which is the value in the nanometer process. The narrower the width, the lower the power consumption. With the existing process technology, the limit process is 45nm. But I have a way to achieve the performance of the 32nm process!”

Seeing Qin Shiyu and Guo Yuan still looking disbelieving, Wang Yu raised his head and glanced around, then pointed at the desk: "Bring me a piece of white paper and a pen!"

Guo Yuan, who was sitting on the outermost side, stood up first and walked to Wang Yu's desk, bringing him a piece of A4 white paper and a pen.

At this time, Ruan Peiling had already consciously walked to the door of the office. She did not think that such important secrets were accessible to her now.

Wang Yu, who picked up the pen, could think of this at this time. He quickly drew two connected squares on the white paper, and then marked the number 65nm on one side of the square.

"Now that the process technology has reached 45nm, is it okay to produce chips with a 65nm process?"

Wang Yu, still holding the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked Qin Shiyu and Guo Yuan.

Qin Shiyu and Guo Yuan looked at each other again. Although they didn't understand why Wang Yu asked this, they still nodded.

"Assuming these are two 65nm process chips, then"

Wang Yu took a pen and drew a square, short cube.

After pausing for a moment, he drew a circle with a pen and marked the number 65nm on it, and marked a number (65nm) after 45.
Qin Shiyu: "."

Guo Yuan: "."

"Geometric thinking, using stacking methods to obtain chips with the same performance as the 32nm process!"

Wang Yu threw the pen on the glass coffee table, picked up half a cigar from the ashtray and took two puffs: "I don't know if this is feasible in actual production, but in theory it can be done!"

This is a humble statement. In Wang Yu's memory before his rebirth, someone had done this and registered a patent. Although it was not that simple in his impression, and it might have involved using EDA software to optimize the design of the circuit on the chip, but no matter what Say, it was still successful!

At that time, it was a leap from 14nm to 7nm. Now, Wang Yu is just leaping from 65nm to 32nm process. There is no reason why it should not be successful.

"Click, click, click."

The only sounds left in the reception area were Wang Yu smoking a cigar and the heavy breathing of Guo Yuan and Qin Shiyu.

"Boss, if this thing can really succeed"

Qin Shiyu's voice was trembling when she spoke, because she knew one thing clearly. What would happen if a new generation of smartphones were equipped with a chip equivalent to the 32nm process when the second generation of Guoker II was released next year? What kind of advantage?
"A lot of tests still need to be done to see if it works, and this matter must be kept secret!"

Guo Yuan's first thought was of these two things, especially the latter: "Anyway, it shouldn't be very difficult to buy technology that is two generations behind. The key is that if the method mentioned by the boss is feasible, it must be Strictly confidential!"

"Ask Jingyan. I remember buying a set of photolithography equipment when I first set up the laboratory. I wonder if it can produce chips with a 65nm process."

Qin Shiyu immediately thought of Zhang Jingyan. She looked at Wang Yu and said: "Boss, Guo Yuan is right. The most important thing now is to keep confidentiality, even if it is to demonstrate the feasibility. Because none of us know whether this is feasible!"

"I think it should work!"

At this time, Guo Yuan actually supported Wang Yu: "In addition to confidentiality, production capacity is also a problem!"

"If we want to keep it secret, we have to make sacrifices in terms of production capacity!"

Qin Shiyu immediately showed his talent in business at this time: "When the time comes, there will be two versions of the Guoke II. One ordinary version will still use a 45nm process chip, and another flagship version will be designed to increase the price. In this way Once sales are limited, the impact on production capacity will be smaller."

"Your abacus is making a snap!"

Wang Yu laughed: "In this way, although the sales volume of the flagship version is small, the profit is not low, one is worth three ordinary versions."

While joking, he stood up and walked to his desk, picked up the mobile phone placed on the table and dialed Zhang Jingyan's number.

The phone rang a few times but was cut off.

Less than a minute later, Wang Yu's cell phone rang, and it was Zhang Jingyan who called back.

"I thought you had no classes during your senior year."

After answering the phone, Wang Yu smiled and said, "Did I interrupt your class just now?"

"Although there are fewer classes in the first half of the semester, there are still some. I will enter the internship period in the next semester."

Zhang Jingyan's voice was still low at this time. It seemed that she was talking to Wang Yu on the phone in the corridor outside the classroom.

"Now go to the playground and make sure no one else is around and can hear you!"

Wang Yu explained: "Call me back when you arrive."

Zhang Jingyan was stunned by Wang Yu's sudden explanation. After a moment, Zhang Jingyan hung up the phone.

After walking back to the sofa and sitting down, Wang Yu placed his mobile phone on the glass coffee table in front of him, picked up the tea cup and drank tea.

"Let me make tea!"

Seeing that the tea in Wang Yu's cup was only half full, Guo Yuan stood up and walked to the tea table, taking Ruan Peiling's place just now.

"Boss, are we going to build a whole industry chain?"

While waiting for the call, Qin Shiyu curiously asked Wang Yu: "You are now working hard from the source to the end of the industrial chain. Do you want both sides to move closer to the middle, and slowly take down the easier things first and then the harder ones?"

"Even if you squeeze me dry and sell everything, you won't be able to control the entire industry chain!"

Wang Yu shook his head and said: "If this thing is put abroad, it can only be put together by many developed countries. How can I do it alone?"

"Then you...?"

"From Desai for mobile phone batteries to BOE for LED LCD panels, now there are Lenovo, SMIC and other entire semiconductor industry chains led by Mr. Ni in the chip field. In addition to us, there are many companies that are slowly accumulating strength. .”

Wang Yu thought for a while and said: "Although we are still very weak now, if we think of the entire industry chain as a big mountain, we are just a group of ants, with one piece in the east and one in the west. Sooner or later, we will bite down this mountain!"

"We are also part of this group of ants!"

Qin Shiyu looked at Wang Yu with twinkling eyes: "Boss, I find that I am becoming more and more motivated. After you said this, I have a sense of mission in me!"

"Don't have any sense of mission!"

Wang Yu waved his hand and said: "First, let the company survive as the main goal, and we will talk about other things after this is achieved!"

Just when Qin Shiyu was about to continue, Wang Yu's cell phone rang.

"Brother Yu, I'm in the school playground."

"I remember that iFlytek Electronic Technology was engaged in the research and development of chip cutting processes two years ago. At that time, we bought a set of technical equipment. What is the nanometer process?"

Wang Yu didn't ask anything else and went straight to the topic.

"We have introduced a complete set of equipment with a 65nm process!"

Zhang Jingyan doesn't know why Wang Yu is so mysterious. Does asking this require her to go to a place where no one is around?

She thought there were more important things, so after answering Wang Yu, she quietly waited for his next question.

"You are going to determine one thing now. Can we independently complete the 65nm process chip starting from photolithography and continuing to cutting!"

Wang Yu ordered: "Also, if there is any new progress in the research on circuit design optimization that I mentioned last time, I am asking now. I am waiting for your news!"

After hanging up the phone again, Wang Yu found Qin Shiyu's eyes staring at him unblinkingly.

"Don't look at it. Once confirmed, we will fly to Rongcheng in the afternoon!"

Wang Yu smiled, nodded Qin Shiyu and said, "Go and try to see if my idea can be realized!"

"Boss, I'm suddenly a little nervous now."

Qin Shiyu couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips: "Guo Yuan, where's the tea you made? I'm thirsty!"

At the same time, Wang Yugang's cell phone, which he had put down for a while, rang, and Zhang Jingyan called back.
