Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water

Vol 5 Chapter 246: deep pockets

In fact, Qi Lei was already mentally prepared for such a situation.

This is not 20 years later. In various fields in China, although there are still gaps in some places, at least there is a certain foundation. Including chips, even if we can't do our best, there are alternatives.

The really stuck neck is the little high-end part of the pyramid spire.

Unlike now, China has just consolidated light industry and developed heavy industry, and the field of precision technology can only be regarded as just starting, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is wild.

This means more investment and greater resistance than later generations.

Just like now, everything has to be imported and everything has to be stuck.

Qi Lei has this kind of mental preparation.

However, he realized that it was more difficult than he imagined.

This is not something that can be accomplished with money in his hand, thoughts in his heart, and the drive to be reborn.

To put it horribly, Qi Lei just brought Byron back and solved one of the biggest shortcomings. Otherwise, relying on himself and Nan Lao alone would be a headache even where to start.

This is like a world-class mathematical problem in front of you. For you, it is not a question of whether it can be solved or not, but to learn from the quadratic equation in one variable.

And, there are no teachers yet!

"Wait!!"

When Qi Lei gritted his teeth, he really felt sorry for the money, but he didn't hesitate at all.

Self-comfort, Lao Tzu is opening the way, just signing a word is the first in the country. How many forks?

Money, that's all bastards, spend it and earn it again!

But first, it is not something that can be bought casually.

Um! Thinking about it like this, I am more motivated and open-minded.

"It's built!" With a big swipe of the pen, he was extremely heroic, "What else? Bring it all up!"

After a rough calculation, it's only been so long, the **** hasn't been hot, and the 7 billion is gone.

Hearing that Qi Lei still needs to spend money, Byron shrank back and stopped talking.

Byron was stunned, but he wasn't stupid. He had to know what to do with seven billion dollars.

boss……

It is estimated that the boss has taken all the underwear and can no longer ask for it.

And over there, Nan Lao wanted to cry.

Really crying children have milk to eat! Knowing this, he wouldn't let Byron speak first.

If he took out seven billion yuan, Qi Lei should have sold his shares to cash out to get the money for him. This Nan Lao is not easy to talk about!

He is different from Byron. He accompanied Qi Lei to break through a small store step by step.

Nan Lao felt sorry for Qi Lei, as if he were his own son.

So, hold back without speaking.

This gave Sam a long sigh of relief.

Don't look at him wanting Qi Lei to spend money, it's better to do it in one step. But how does the score spend!

For such a big company and such a big stall, it is not advisable to spend money without counting the cost.

Just like that, several big bosses were silent, and the other technicians were speechless.

I also know that these three projects are already quite a lot.

However, everyone remembers one thing. Qi Lei said that as long as there is a project, after verification, he will give money.

Let's not talk about whether there will be money at the time, but here is the attitude. At least everyone has a bottom line, and they are not afraid that their subjects will be busy in vain.

It will go away soon.

Nan Lao deliberately walked with Qi Lei, and when Sam saw this, he also followed.

There is nothing to hear.

Qi Lei also seemed to have noticed something. Instead of going to the office with Sam, he found a secluded corner.

"Uncle Nan, don't be polite to me, don't you imagine that there is also a shortage of money there?"

Nan Lao raised his head and grinned, "It's more comfortable over there than you! Wang Zhendong is taking care of it, don't worry about it."

Qi Lei, "Then why are you hesitating?"

Nan Lao lowered his head, thought about it, and finally said it.

"Let's explain first, it's not about you asking for money! Knowing how many people you want to support, we can find a way ourselves."

"But!" The wind changed, "I'm here mainly because there are two things that you need to give me an idea."

Qi Lei, "You said."

Nan Lao, "This is the first, should we do chip manufacturing?"

When Qi Lei heard this, he instinctively wanted to talk about it.

Because he knows that the current chip manufacturers are not reliable.

Such as TSMC, SMIC and so on.

...

In fact, according to the situation around 2003, there is no need to do it yourself.

First, there is TSMC.

In this era, after all, it is an enterprise from Baodao, with the same roots and the same origin, and natural trust.

In addition, in this era, the relationship between Baodao and the mainland was not as rigid as later generations. In addition, Lao Mi's hands are not stretched so long these days. No matter how you look at it, TSMC is reliable.

Even if TSMC is unreliable, there is also a chip manufacturing company in China that has already emerged - SMIC.

Therefore, it seems that there is no need to invest too much energy in chip manufacturing.

After all, the entire chip is an extremely huge system from research and development, design to manufacturing, as well as upstream and downstream industries. It is impossible for Qi Lei to control every link in his own hands.

That's not possible, and there's no such time.

However, only Qi Lei knows that neither TSMC nor SMIC can take advantage of it.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally, "Go!"

Nan Laoyi was stagnant, he thought that Qi Lei would say no need to do it!

After all, from the perspective of Nan Lao's 2003 sitting on the ground, the ready-made ones are there.

Besides, this is a big spender. Imagination can't afford it. Qi Lei has to pay for it, and he just spent 7 billion.

A little anxious, "Don't make the same old mistakes again, everything looks good, and you want to do everything!"

"Think about it, you have to be careful!"

Qi Lei looked up at Nan Lao, "Uncle Nan, I understand what you mean, it seems that we don't need to do it ourselves, there are external forces available."

"But!" Shaking his head, the conversation changed, "Chip manufacturing is a very critical link! And from the perspective of the industry, there is also a monopoly risk, which is where we should be cautious."

Nan Lao, "..."

He doesn't know how to do business, "Monopoly risk? Where does the monopoly risk come from?"

But he saw Qi Lei pondering.

Although he can't tell everyone directly, TSMC will get stuck in our necks in future generations. But isn't that the importance of knowledge? .

He can interpret it from another angle that fits this era and tell Nan Lao why he wants to do it himself.

"First of all, although SMIC is our company, it is reliable. However, the problem is that their technology is unreliable. The chip production line just built is still 300 nanometers."

"And TSMC is already a 130-nanometer process, which is two orders of magnitude worse."

"Although they invited Zhang Rujing, the original TSMC genius, we can't pin our hopes on the development of others."

"So, obviously SMIC is unreliable."

Nan Lao nodded, he agreed with Qi Lei's point of view.

I didn't expect SMIC at first. I heard that there has been a lawsuit recently, which is even more unreliable.

"What about TSMC? This company is still very reliable."

Qi Lei, "Then it's useless!"

Give an answer, "Because TSMC is too reliable, there is a tendency to monopolize most of the market share in the chip manufacturing industry."

Nan Lao was puzzled, "Does this have anything to do with us? We give the order, and they can do it for us?"

Qi Lei, "First, if he wants to monopolize, he has to crack down on other manufacturers, including SMIC."

"Second, after the monopoly, we lose our bargaining power and dominance, and we may be stuck at any time."

"Third, the bigger and bigger it is, the more important it is, the more it can influence the market, the more people will be envied!"

"Have you forgotten your RAM?"

Nan Lao was stunned, and the cold sweat broke down, "You mean that the Americans will target TSMC?"

Qi Lei, "It's inevitable!"

Nan Lao thought for a while, "That makes sense!"

Looking up, "Then... do it yourself?"

"Do it yourself!"

Qi Lei finally made the decision.

Nan Lao continued, "That's fine, I'll go back and discuss with Wang Zhendong and let him contribute money!"

When Qi Lei heard this, he shook his head, "Don't bother, wait until Imagination has the ability, I still don't know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!"

"I'll give you money, move now, don't wait."

In fact, in his memory, there is another option, and that is BYD. But at this point in time, BYD can't take advantage of it, so it can only do it on its own.

Speaking of this, Nan Lao no longer insisted, but he said first, "You can think about it, let's start from scratch, and start researching on the 300-nanometer process."

"Moreover, we are too late for 300 nanometers! When our project is established, the advanced technology may have reached 90 nanometers, which is three generations behind."

It is indeed three generations, 300 nanometers, 200 nanometers, 130 nanometers, 90 nanometers!

Nan Lao means that if you do it yourself, it means falling behind, and you have to keep chasing behind. And, because your stuff is so outdated, the up-front investment doesn't pay off financially.

That is to say, how much money is invested in the early stage, how much money has to be lost.

Qi Lei is immune to this, isn't it money? What a big deal!

Still determined, "It's done!"

Nan Lao: "..."

Sam, who has never spoken: "..."

This stuff can't be crazy, can it? Another big burden came.

Qi Lei didn't care, facing Lao Lao, "You said two things just now, what is the other thing?"

Nan Lao, "The other is chip design. Wang Zhendong can't make up his mind about this. Let me ask you, can we do it?"

Glancing at Sam, "I think this can be put aside, after all..."

It means that there is ARM in the design, so it shouldn't be used, right?

Sam didn't speak, looked at Qi Lei, everything had to be decided by Qi Lei.

In fact, Sam was still afraid that Qi Lei would spend more money, which was necessary.

What ARM does is the underlying instruction set, and using these instruction sets to construct a chip also requires a process, the upper-level chip application design.

In this respect, ARM is not strong, it is still a weak link, and it can even be said to be backward.

Sam's original intention is to support research in this direction.

He came out of ARM and knew exactly where to go.

how to say? Although the investment in chip design is not small, the risk of this project is actually very small.

That is to say, as long as you are willing to accumulate and persevere in doing it, you will surely gain something.

It is not like chip manufacturing, nor is it like wafer manufacturing. If Byron's research is unsuccessful, no matter how much money he invests, it will be a waste.

The chip designs are different. Although the chip architectures in various fields are different, most of the foundations are interoperable.

In other words, your research on mobile phone chips may not be successful, but a considerable part of your results is not useless and can be used in computer chips.

Computer chips are not used, but can also be used in industrial-grade chips, automotive-grade chips, and other fields.

All in all, there's a good chance it will turn out.

But, again, Sam felt that Qi Lei had spent a little too much money today, and he wanted Qi Lei to calm down. So he didn't speak.

On Qi Lei's side, obviously he didn't make a decision immediately like the previous projects and fell into contemplation.

He is not thinking about whether to do chip design or not, he is thinking about one thing.

Earlier, Mr. Ren of HW said that he would invest in a chip design team, which was more than a year earlier than the original HW HiSilicon.

I don't know how the old man is thinking now?

If you are preparing, you can cooperate on the design.

Yes, Qi Lei is really not as high as Sam thinks. He is very sober. He saves where he needs to be, and borrows where he needs to be.

Finally: "This is not urgent, I will think about it."

Seeing that Nan Lao was a little confused, Qi Lei explained with a smile, "Don't worry about it, you can do it for sure, but how can you plan it well?"

"Don't worry, I'll keep the money for you."

When Nan Lao heard this, "..."

Do you still have money?

...

————————

Chip manufacturing is also a big project. Although Nan Lao can't tell how much money to invest in this project, but you think, a lithography machine will cost more than one billion RMB in future generations.

If TSMC goes to the United States to build a factory, it will cost 12 billion yuan.

Although this age is not as good as later generations, and the scale is different, it may not cost as much.

But don't forget, this is starting from scratch.

So really speaking, it may not save money than TSMC's mature technology and mature experience.

How much money will be invested in the end, no one can say.

However, the initial investment ~www.readwn.com~ Nan Lao estimated, "If you don't prepare 18 billion yuan, it is estimated that you have no confidence!"

That is to say, Nan Lao means to give Qi Lei a mental preparation.

But he didn't want to, Qi Lei sucked Hanako a little.

Yes, a little bit.

This expression is so subtle!

There came a sentence, "Uncle Bei gave me some money to go back to China, and I'll give you money right away!"

"I puff!!!"

Nan Lao was stunned for a moment, but Sam sprayed it directly.

"You wait a moment!!"

Sam is in a hurry, in a hurry!

How much money do you have? Isn't it not cashing out the stock?

Finally asked a very constructive question he shouldn't have asked, "You... how much money did you bring back?"

Qi Lei, "Not much."

"How much is not much?"

Qi Lei, "It's only 200!"

"2……"

"How many?"

Sam and Nan Lao were dumbfounded, "20 billion?"

"How much?" Byron, who was far away, didn't know how long his ears were erected, so he said, "20 billion!?"

chap! !

To be less! ?

The prodigal boy, Byron, was a little remorseful.
