From university academician to chief academician

Xia Xin International moved very quickly, and so did Ye Fei.

After Xia Xin International Chairman Qu Guangfu and Ye Fei finished talking about the matter that day, Qu Guangfu sent someone to discuss cooperation with Ye Fei the next day.

Ye Fei asked someone from the Yuan Blockchain Research Institute to discuss cooperation with someone from Xia Xin International.

After half a month of negotiation.

It was finally determined that Ye Fei’s research would be taken out separately from Xia Xin International, with Xia Xin International accounting for 70% of the shares and Ye Fei Scientific Research Institute accounting for 30%.

And all costs of chip R\u0026D, operation, and sales are invested by Xiaxin International.

Of course, the directors of Xiaxin International were not satisfied with this plan.

What they wanted was to give Ye Fei billions to help develop chips.

Instead of letting Ye Fei hold shares.

After all, it's a chip.

If the kind of chip Ye Fei mentioned is developed, it will completely rewrite the chip market and earn more than 70 billion US dollars per year.

And if Ye Fei Research Institute holds 30% of the shares, it will take away more than 20 billion US dollars every year.

A one-time payment of several billion and more than 20 billion US dollars per year.

With this account, anyone can figure out which one is more cost-effective.

Qu Guangfu is a person who has a great overall view. He said on the board of directors: "Now it is not Ye Fei who wants something from us, but we want something from Ye Fei."

"The market is with Ye Fei. We don't have to agree, but Ye Fei can also help other chip companies."

"You have to know that Xia Country not only has one chip company, Xia Core International, but also many other chip companies."

"By then Ye Fei will still be able to gain so many benefits, and we will lose at least more than 50 billion US dollars every year."

Xia Xin International's current annual net profit is more than 10 billion US dollars.

Hearing Qu Guangfu's words, all the directors were shocked and said to themselves: "Yes, the market is with Ye Fei. If we don't agree to Ye Fei, Ye Fei can also agree to other companies."

"We lose more than 20 billion US dollars and lose more than 50 billion US dollars every year. You don't need to look at these accounts to know which choice you should make."

In the end, the board of directors agreed to Ye Fei's request.

Ye Fei was very satisfied with this condition.

In fact, to his current status, it doesn't matter whether he has money or not.

After all, he is not short of money.

However, money can mean many things.

For example, recognition of his personal value.

On November 15, 2029, Ye Fei’s 28th birthday, Xia Xin International and Ye Fei Science Research Institute jointly issued a statement.

Xiaxin International: [Welcome Academician Ye Fei to become the chief scientist of Xiaxin International. 】

Ye Fei Science Research Institute: [Congratulations to Academician Ye Fei for becoming the chief scientist of Xiaxin International. 】

When these two news were released, the world was in an uproar.

They know that Ye Fei becoming the chief scientist of Xia Xin International is not just the chief scientist. Even a fool understands the meaning of it.

Ye Fei must be developing chips.

Like cats smelling something fishy, ​​many reporters flocked to Xia Xin International and Yuan Blockchain Research Institute.

Meta Blockchain Research Institute!

In the evening, Ye Fei walked out of the Meta Blockchain Research Institute and prepared to walk home.

Yuan Blockchain Research Institute is only ten minutes away from his home, and Ye Fei almost always walks to and from get off work.

While walking, he can also think and study.

Ye Fei slowly walked home, thinking: "Snevily conjecture, the research is set theory, graph theory and number theory."

"It is one of the most rapidly developing fields in combinatorics of extreme value set theory, one of the core research in graph theory, and one of the most cutting-edge research in number theory."

"I have no problem with set theory, and I don't have a big problem with number theory, but there are still some shortcomings in graph theory."

Ye Fei has been studying set theory since he was a graduate student. Many of the world's difficult problems in set theory were proved by Ye Fei.

As for number theory, Ye Fei has been studying it since he graduated with a doctorate. It has been four or five years now, and he doesn't have much problem.

There was only graph theory, and he didn't study it for a long time.

"Next, we should study graph theory carefully."

When Ye Fei just walked out of the gate of the institute, a group of reporters suddenly surrounded him.

"Academician Ye Fei, did you join Xiaxin International to develop chips?"

"Academician Ye Fei, what kind of chip do you want to develop?"

"Academician Ye Fei, when will your chip be developed?"

"Academician Ye Fei, can you tell me?"

"Academician Ye Fei..."

The security guard at the door saw Ye Fei being surrounded by reporters and quickly stepped forward to stop the reporters.

Ye Fei quickly broke away from the crowd and ran into the Meta Blockchain Research Institute.

The security guards blocked the reporters outside the Meta Blockchain Research Institute.

Ye Fei looked at the reporters blocked outside the gate and breathed a sigh of relief.

He shook his head and said helplessly: "These reporters are really..."

After saying that, Ye Fei went home through the back door.

Magic City, Xia Xin International, Chairman’s Office!

"Director Qu!" The assistant came in from outside and said, "There are a group of reporters outside the company, and they want to interview you."

When Qu Guangfu, who was signing the contract, heard this, he stopped writing, looked up at his assistant and frowned slightly.

The assistant saw Qu Guangfu frowning and asked quickly: "Should we drive them out?"

Qu Guangfu thought for a moment and then said: "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he picked up the phone and called Ye Fei and said, "Academician Ye, you have become the chief scientist of Xiaxin Country. There is a lot of commotion outside. Should we hold a press conference?"

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Qu Guangfu said to his assistant: "You told the reporters that a press conference will be held at the company's southeast press conference room at two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Qu Dong!"

The assistant left after finishing speaking.

The day after tomorrow!

Ye Fei drove to Magic City around eleven o'clock and had lunch in the service area.

Arrive at Xia Xin International around 1:30 in the afternoon.

"Academician Ye!" Qu Guangfu led a group of people to greet Ye Fei: "Hello!"

Many people looked at Ye Fei curiously. This was their first time seeing Ye Fei in real life.

Ye Fei smiled, shook hands with Qu Guangfu, and said, "Hello, Director Qu!"

"Let's go!" Qu Guangfu said, "The reporters are already here."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

At this moment, many reporters are sitting in the southeast press hall of Xiaxin International.

The fact that Ye Fei became the chief scientist of Xia Xin International was so shocking that countless people seemed to smell the smell before the storm.

A reporter from England said to his companion: "Judging from Ye Fei's past development history, Ye Fei will definitely be able to develop chips that shock the world when he joins Xiaxin International."

"Then Beili will not be able to sit still."

"Chip has always been Beili Country's cake. If anyone dares to touch their cake, Beili Country will fight tooth and nail."

The companion nodded and said: "Yes, I think Beiliguo can no longer sit still at this moment."

"I still don't know what kind of chips Ye Fei can develop!"

Not only were these two people talking, but many people present were talking about this.

Soon, Ye Fei and others walked into the lecture hall and sat on the stage.

Qu Guangfu said: "Dear journalists, good afternoon, everyone. I am very happy that you are here to attend today's press conference."

"I know you are all very concerned about Academician Ye Fei becoming the chief scientist of Xiaxin International."

"Xia Xin International has always adhered to..."

Qu Guangfu talked eloquently.

"Now, I would like to invite Academician Ye Fei to speak."

Ye Feidao: "I am very happy to become the chief scientist of Xiaxin International. I will lead Xiaxin International's team to research chips."

As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, the reporters below exclaimed.

Ye Fei really wants to develop chips!

Ye Feidao: "Regarding chip research, my idea is to abandon silicon-based chips and switch to carbon-based chips."

"If Xia Guo wants to catch up with the international level in terms of chips, it must change lanes to overtake, rather than overtake in corners."

"In terms of carbon-based chips, my country has two major advantages that no other country has."

“1. Have the highest purity graphene in the world!”

“2. The only country that can mass-produce carbon nanotubes!”

"As we all know, to manufacture carbon-based chips, you must have high-purity graphene and carbon nanotubes."

"Otherwise it would be impossible to make carbon-based chips."

"So, on the carbon-based chip track, Xia Guo is the only one who can enter."

"Moreover, the development space of carbon-based chips is much better than that of silicon-based chips."

"Silicon-based chips can only produce nanoscale chips, while carbon-based chips can not only produce nanoscale chips, but also angstrom-scale chips."

"The future is the era of quantum computers. Quantum computers must have angstrom-level chips, otherwise quantum computers cannot be manufactured."

"Because of all the above, I decided to develop carbon-based chips."

As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, many reporters started talking below.

A reporter from CCTV said to his companion: "Ye Fei is right. my country is the only country qualified to develop carbon-based chips."

"And, in terms of silicon-based chips, our country cannot catch up with the international level."

"Then, only by changing lanes and overtaking can our country catch up with the international level."

The companion nodded and said: "That's right, and from a long-term perspective, carbon-based chips are much better than silicon-based chips."

The CCTV reporter nodded: "Yes!"

The reporter from Beiliguo said to his companions in a panic: "Something big is going to happen. Ye Fei advocates the development of carbon-based chips. No country in the world except Xia has the conditions to develop carbon-based chips."

"If he develops it, something big will happen."

The companion wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Who would have thought that this would happen? We always thought that Xia would develop silicon-based chips to catch up with us."

"But now Xia Guo won't play with us and will change his ways."

The English reporter smiled at his companion and said, "Now it's fun. Xia Guo is not developing silicon-based chips, but is developing carbon-based chips."

"Although Beili Country also has high-purity graphene, they cannot mass-produce carbon nanotubes!"

The English reporter is not panic at all. Anyway, Beili has always had the final say in the global chip market.

Even if Xia Guo develops a carbon-based chip, Beili Guo will be most affected.

It doesn't have much impact on England, and it might even have some benefits.

After all, Beili State had the final say in chips in the past, but suddenly Xia State suddenly emerged in the chip market.

Then the chip will no longer be monopolized by Beili Country alone.

The two countries may start a price war on chips.

Qu Guangfu said: "The following is the question and answer session!"

In an instant, countless people below raised their hands, and Qu Guangfu first clicked on the CCTV reporter.

The CCTV reporter stood up and said: "Hello, Academician Ye Fei, I am a reporter from CCTV. We all know that you study mathematics and later materials. In the field of materials science, you discovered C72 fullerene. Through C72 fullerene, Developed C72 carbon nanotubes and high-purity graphene.”

“Later, mass production of C72 carbon nanotubes and C60 carbon nanotubes was developed.”

"Now we are starting to develop carbon-based chips again."

"Judging from this step by step, do you have a premeditated plan for the research and development of carbon-based chips?"

Everyone was shocked to find that Ye Fei seemed to be careful every step of the way.

Developing materials from mathematics, the material discovered C72 fullerene, and developed C72 carbon nanotubes and high-purity graphene through C72 fullerene.

After mass-manufacturing carbon nanotubes, develop chips.

Because carbon nanotubes are being manufactured in batches, they have changed lanes to develop carbon-based chips.

When many people reacted, they took a deep breath and looked at Ye Fei in shock.

Such a sophisticated layout, Ye Fei has been focusing on carbon-based chips from the beginning.

Moreover, Ye Fei is so courageous. How could he be sure that he could discover C72 fullerene and develop a batch manufacturing method for C72 carbon nanotubes, high-purity graphene and carbon nanotubes?

If one of these links cannot be successfully researched, wouldn’t all the previous efforts be wasted?

At this moment, Ye Fei's image immediately changed in everyone's eyes.

No longer a scholar, but a bold scholar.

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said funny: "This journalist friend is really good at joking. The reason why I discovered C72 fullerene and developed C72 carbon nanotubes, high-purity graphene and batch manufacturing methods of carbon nanotubes was completely coincidental. .”

Everyone laughed in their hearts, it was such a coincidence.

One person handles the entire production chain of carbon-based chips in the early stages.

Qu Guangfu laughed and said: "This journalist friend is really good at joking. Well, next one."

Qu Guangfu also doubted whether Ye Fei had been eyeing the carbon-based chip for a long time.

Even if he doesn't go to Ye Fei, Ye Fei will soon develop carbon-based chips.

But when he went there, the two of them bumped into each other by chance.

The English reporter stood up and said: "Academician Ye Fei, how long will it take for you to develop a carbon-based chip? Which chip should you start developing?"

Ye Feidao: "I can't predict the time. I will be the first to develop 12nm chips."

"Sure enough!" Many people said.

12nm chips are the most widely used chips.

If Xia Guo can mass produce high-quality 12nm carbon-based chips.

Then, it will occupy a dominant position in the chip market.

Qu Guangfu said: "Next one!"

"Academician Ye Fei, may I ask if the lithography machine used for carbon-based chips is still the one made in the Netherlands? Can it be used on carbon-based chips?"

"Of course!" Ye Feidao: "The photolithography machines made in the Netherlands are of good quality and can be used for carbon-based chips. We will still use the photolithography machines made in the Netherlands."

Of course Ye Fei would not tell the truth.

If we say it at this time, we will not use photolithography machines made in the Netherlands.

Well, there will definitely be opinions from the Netherlands.

For the time being, the country still needs Dutch lithography machines. Until it develops its own lithography machine that can produce high-quality chips, it will not use Dutch lithography machines.

Qu Guangfu said: "Next one!"

"Academician Ye Fei, will you develop photolithography machines, ion implanters, reactive ion etching machines and wafer dicing machines?"

Ye Fei nodded and said: "Of course, I think those who develop chips will develop these machines!"

Qu Guangfu said: "Next one!"

"Academician Ye Fei..."

The press conference didn't end until a long time ago.

The news spread outside, shocking the whole world.

Everyone knows that the chip market is about to change.

Ye Fei actually wanted to change lanes to overtake and develop carbon-based chips.

No one expected this.

From the current point of view, only Xia Guo can develop carbon-based chips, and no other country can.

When the Xia people heard the news, they were crazy with joy.

If others were to develop chips, they would think they would not succeed.

But who is Ye Fei without the technology he failed to develop?

Therefore, they have full confidence in Ye Fei and believe that he has a high chance of developing a chip.

[Holy shit, Ye Fei is finally going to take action on the chip, I’m so excited. 】

[Other countries are still playing with silicon-based chips. Since we can’t compete with you, we won’t play with you and will directly work on carbon-based chips. 】

[Ye Fei is still smart, he is right, I can’t overtake you in the curve, so let’s change lanes and overtake. 】

[I think Ye Fei really has a long-term vision. He has been developing carbon-based chips many years ago. 】

【……】

Pengcheng, Huawei, Chairman's Office!

"You actually developed a carbon-based chip?" A trace of surprise flashed in Ren Dong's eyes.

Then he said happily: "Okay, yes, using carbon-based chips is very beneficial to our mobile phone industry."

Carbon-based chips made from graphene and carbon nanotubes are much smaller than silicon-based chips.

And smaller chips can be more suitable for mobile phones.

After all, mobile phones are only about the size of a palm.

In the future, there may also be mobile phones the size of watches.

At this time, smaller chips are needed.

Director Ren said: "I hope the research and development can be successful!"

"This may be our only chance. If we don't seize this opportunity, we don't know when the next opportunity will be."

Beiliguo, in the conference room!

Boyi looked at everyone and said seriously: "Ye Fei is causing trouble again. This time he is attacking the chip. You should all have heard about this!"

Everyone nodded.

Boyi said: "We must stop him. Chips are our foundation. We must not lose our country's dominance in chips."

Someone asked: "How to stop it?"

Boyi said: "According to the requirements above."

"1. Restrict the export of chips to Xia Country."

"Two, no more chip manufacturing machines will be sold to Xia State."

"Third, chip materials will no longer be sold to Xia Country."

Beiliguo did this very well, making Xiaguo unable to produce a single chip.

At the same time, it limits the number of chips sold to Xia Country.

Soon, Xia Guo will be short of heart.

Boy said: "Unless Ye Fei stops developing chips, this strategy will continue."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Boyi's approach.

At this moment of life and death, if Xia Guo develops a chip, Beili Guo's losses will be severe, and its status in the world will be greatly affected.

Xia Guo, Department of Science and Technology!

After reading the document, Geng Ye clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "Beili Country is so shameless. Do you think this can force us not to develop chips?"

"The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. At worst, our country will cut down on clothing and diet. We also need to develop our own chips."

"As one of the world's major powers, Xia is the world's largest consumer of chips."

"But I don't have my own chip. Isn't this a joke!"

Geng Ye picked up the phone and called: "Academician Ye Fei, I heard about your development of carbon-based chips."

"If you have any difficulties, you can call me and the country will fully support you."

"Also, don't worry about Beili Country. We must develop our own chips."

After that, hang up the phone.
