Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"Compared with the mature ARM architecture, the biggest advantage of RISC-V is that it is free and open source. This means that more individuals and companies can participate in the development and improvement process of RISC-V processors. Youdao means everyone The firewood is high and the flames are high. There are more people involved, and there are always a few amazing people who will continue to push the RISC-V architecture forward. Until one day, the RISC-V architecture will be on an equal footing with the ARM architecture and the X86 architecture. , or even surpassing the latter two, is not impossible." Qiao Ruida expressed his expectations and ambitions for the RISC-V architecture. Of course, this was the development process of things in his last life, and it is history.

After lunch, Qiao Ruida followed Xiao Jingsheng to the R&D building and personally watched the testing process of the chip based on RISC-V design. She studied the chip design drawing and pointed out two errors and one serious flaw on the spot. Such researchers have great admiration for the boss Qiao Ruida. A brand-new processor architecture that has just been released for more than two years is incredible to be able to study it to this extent. Researchers in the chip R&D team have always believed that the RISC-V technical information and examples provided by Qiao Ruida were developed by himself. After all, this kind of technical information related to the core of the chip has always been the secret of various technology companies and is kept secret. Qiao Ruida was able to produce so much information at once. Apart from their own research, the researchers really couldn't think of any other way to obtain it. Regarding this beautiful misunderstanding, Qiao Ruida did not specifically clarify it. After all, even if Goldfinger was not exposed to the public, he could not explain the source of the information clearly.

Qiao Ruida stayed in the chip laboratory for two hours, during which she helped the researchers answer many questions related to RISC-V, and personally modified the design drawings and added functional modules, greatly advancing the project progress. Before leaving the chip laboratory, Qiao Ruida once again took out a large amount of RISC-V related information and gave it to them to learn and digest. The technical information this time is in the same vein as the last time, but it is more advanced and complex. Many of them involve mobile phone processors, notebook processors, and even supercomputing processors. If a researcher can master and integrate all the contents in these two materials, he can almost become a senior expert in the field of RISC-V.

After returning to the Ruida Technology Headquarters Building, Qiao Ruida continued to deal with the mountain of documents. He used both his hands and eyes with full firepower, and finally finished processing all the documents before leaving get off work.

In the next few days, Qiao Ruida returned to campus and attended classes according to the class schedule every day. When there was no class, she spent time in the library and read the latest journals published in the past two months. In her spare time, Qiao Ruida continued to browse the Internet information twenty years later, compiled some scientific and technological information that can be realized now, and handed it over to various R&D groups in the R&D department for research. This information involves sodium batteries, graphene batteries, graphene chips, foldable OLED screens, VR glasses, wireless charging, launch vehicles, ion engines and many other fields. After receiving so much technical information at once, the content of which was so advanced, shocking, yet well-founded, informative and reliable, the thousands of members of the entire R&D department were all excited, headaches, and a little confused. What’s exciting is that there is so much new knowledge and new theories to learn. The troublesome thing is that there is so much information. It will take several months just to read it once, let alone digest, absorb, and apply it to actual projects. It will take only a few years to master it. What’s confusing is that there are too many new projects and new R&D tasks that need to be established, and I don’t know where to start.

A week later, in the Reda Technology Headquarters Building, a meeting to determine the future direction of all Reda companies was being held. In addition to managers and deputy managers from various departments of Reda Technology Company, people attending this meeting also came from Reda Network Company, Reda Electronics Factory, Rockchip Wafer Factory, Reda Automobile Factory, and even Hong Kong Shengshi Foreign Trade Company. CEO or representative. Today, Qiao Ruida rarely uses cheats to copy bulk electronic products such as mobile phones and notebooks in large quantities and sell them for profit. Shengshi Foreign Trade Company, this transfer station and white glove, has also lost its role. However, after three years of operation, Shengshi Foreign Trade Company has laid a deep foundation and established a complete sales network in Europe, South America, Australia, and Southeast Asia. It can earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year just by relying on export trade. It would be a pity to give up profits like this.

After careful consideration, Qiao Ruida decided to bring Shengshi Foreign Trade Company to the public as a channel for foreign sales of Ruida products. Of course, the public statement is that Qiao Ruida spent a huge amount of money to acquire Shengshi Foreign Trade Company and Shengshi Investment. Since Shengshi Investment Company is Qiao Ruida's property, the shares it occupies in Rockchip Wafer Factory will naturally go to Qiao Ruida's name. As a result, Rockchip Wafer Fab has changed from a joint venture to a sole proprietorship of Qiao Ruida, clearing the way for the subsequent integration and group restructuring of Ruida companies.

"We are meeting now. Before we start the formal agenda, I would like to introduce a new friend to you. He is Morris from Shengshi Foreign Trade Company and Shengshi Investment Company. Come to Morris, stand up and say hello to everyone." Time 1 When the meeting arrived, Qiao Ruida, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, announced the official start of the meeting, and then introduced Morris, the only foreigner in the venue, to everyone.

"Hello everyone, I am Morris, CEO of Hong Kong Shengshi Foreign Trade Company and CEO of Shengshi Investment Company. A few days ago, Mr. Qiao Ruida fully acquired Shengshi Foreign Trade and Shengshi Investment. Now these two companies belong to Mr. Qiao. This is also my The reason for appearing here." The blond and blue-eyed Morris stood up and introduced himself. He spoke fluent Chinese, which was quite difficult for a foreigner.

These days, corporate mergers and acquisitions are nothing new, but it is still quite rare for a Chinese to acquire two Hong Kong companies, and it is inevitable to discuss it in a low voice with everyone in the meeting.

"What do these two companies do? Why have I never heard of them?"

"I know this Shengshi Investment Company. The major shareholder of Rockchip Wafer Fab is Shengshi Investment. Many start-up companies in the industry have also invested in angel round financing from this Shengshi Investment Company. As for Shengshi Foreign Trade Company, I don't know. It has never been been touched."

"I remember when Ruida Mall was first established, many mobile phones, laptops, computer accessories, etc. imported from abroad were supplied by Shengshi Foreign Trade Company. At most, the goods provided by Shengshi Foreign Trade Company accounted for More than a quarter of Ruida Mall’s purchases. I just don’t know why, but in the past year or so, Shengshi Foreign Trade has supplied us with less and less, especially in the past six months, the two sides have almost cut off economic and trade relations.”

"I remember that the earliest batch of chip production equipment in our Rockchip wafer factory was obtained by Shengshi Foreign Trade, including several EUV lithography machines with incredible performance."

"Many of our mobile phone and computer products at Ruida Technology are sold abroad through the channels of Shengshi Foreign Trade Company. At present, the overseas sales volume of our products has accounted for about one-third of the total sales, and it will continue to grow. Trend." "So, this Shengshi Foreign Trade Company is deeply involved with our Ruida company, and the trade exchanges are very frequent. No wonder Mr. Qiao has spent huge sums of money to acquire Shengshi Foreign Trade, and he still has control over these overseas sales channels. It’s more secure to have it in your own hands.”

Qiao Ruida cleared her throat, pressed her hands, and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Okay, let's get down to business. Let's ask the heads of each company to report on the company's operating conditions. The first one is from Ruida Network Company. Mr. Liu, let’s get started.”

Liu Jiayu stood up and said: "Our Ruida Network Company is a listed company. Let me first talk about the changes in the stock price in the recent period. Just last week, we announced the 12-year annual report. The profit exceeded expectations by a large margin. Users The number is growing rapidly, and a large amount of dividends are about to be paid. Affected by this, our stock price of Ruida Network has been rising by the limit for five consecutive days, and it continues to rise sharply. Today, the stock price of Ruida Network is already higher than when it was first listed. The issuance price increased by more than 6 times.

Just a year ago, our Ruida Network had just completed the establishment of nationwide distributed warehousing centers and express delivery outlets. The combination of the two enables online shopping orders to be delivered the next day in more than 90% of areas across the country. In some key first- and second-tier cities, orders can even be delivered on the same day. This greatly optimizes the shopping experience of Ruida Mall and enhances user loyalty.

The next step for our Ruida Network Company is to open up overseas markets, set up overseas branches, and expand sales scope. The initial target is Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. "

After Liu Jiayu finished speaking, there was a burst of applause in the venue. Reda Network Company is the only listed company among the Reda family of companies. Many of the executives sitting here hold shares in Reda Networks. Now that the stock price of Reda Networks has skyrocketed, their net worth has also skyrocketed, so they are naturally very happy. Of course, there were a few people among them who looked quite ugly. It turned out that their allotments were thrown away immediately after the lock-up period and replaced with luxury cars. Now that the stock price of Reda Networks has skyrocketed, they naturally regret it.

The second person to make a report was Luo Yuankai, the director of Rockchip Wafer Factory. He cleared his throat and said: "Our Rockchip Wafer Factory has been focusing on exploring the domestic market recently and has undertaken many 28nm and 14nm chip OEMs. Business. The number of orders is basically the same as the chip foundry orders provided by our sister unit Reda Technology. In addition, we have also received tape-out of 7nm chips from HiSilicon, Loongson, Cambricon, and Sugon. and small batch production orders. The above processes are all mature in our Rockchip wafer factory, and the yield rate is above 95%, so these orders can bring considerable profits to the company in the first quarter of 13. , Rockchip's expected revenue increased by 120% month-on-month and more than five times year-on-year, and its expected profits increased by 200% month-on-month and more than ten times year-on-year.

Just after the year, the R&D department of Rockchip Wafer Factory made breakthrough progress in the research and development of 5nm process technology, significantly increasing the yield rate to about 70%, which has initially reached commercial mass production standards. The cost has also been controlled to an acceptable level. The 5nm mobile phone SOC chip Sihai No. produced by our OEM has been introduced into production and will be available for mass production in the near future.

In addition, our lawsuit against TSMC had its last court hearing two days ago, and the final verdict was that our Rockchip wafer factory won the case. Without the drag of patent disputes, our company has entered the international chip foundry market, and the way to earn foreign exchange has been completely opened. In the foreseeable future, the arrival of a large number of international chip foundry orders will bring our Rockchip's turnover into a period of rapid growth, and profits will also further increase. "

In the venue, there was another burst of warm applause. Anyone who works in electronics-related industries knows that the wafer foundry that produces chips is a hugely profitable industry. As long as the technology is mature, the profit margin can often reach more than 50%. This is simply unimaginable in other industries. However, chip production is a three-intensive enterprise that is capital-intensive, technology-intensive, and talent-intensive. The investment amount can easily start at tens of billions, and ordinary companies really can't make it. Especially with the existence of the Wax Association, the purchase of chip production equipment in mainland China is subject to strict restrictions. Some high-end photolithography machines and etching machines are simply unavailable, which further restricts domestic wafer foundries. establishment and development.

Under many unfavorable conditions, it is already a miracle that Rockchip's wafer fab was successfully established and put into production smoothly. Being able to lead all peers in the world and win the 7nm process technology node is no longer a miracle, it is simply a miracle. Now Rockchip Wafer Fab has gone a step further and won the 5nm process technology node. Everyone is so shocked that they don’t know how to express it. They can only give warm applause.

Qiao Ruida, who presided over the meeting, also nodded approvingly and said: "You have done a good job. All R&D personnel will have their bonuses doubled this month. By the way, I have a research and development information on graphene chips here. After the meeting, you Come and get it. When the chip manufacturing process advanced to 28nm, Moore's Law was basically invalid. Now that the process technology has reached 5nm, it is getting closer and closer to the theoretical limit of silicon-based chips, and there are not many ways forward. The alternative to silicon-based chips is probably carbon-grade chips, or graphene chips. After you get this information, you must study it carefully and study it carefully, and strive to continue to lead the world and lead the era of carbon-based chips. "( End of this chapter)
