Future super intelligent system

Chapter 103 Straight Overtaking
After leaving HiSilicon, Liu Fan immediately made an appointment with Huaxin International, and the other party indicated that he had time.Liu Fan is still a little uncomfortable with his influence in the industry.

Speaking of Huaxin International, it is really a company that has been complained about for more than ten years. It is losing money all day long, and it is called a prodigal son.Now it is always deeply involved in equity disputes, which makes people feel chaotic.

And just like what He Tingbo said without hesitation, Huaxin International's equity is not clear. Although Datang Telecom holds nearly 20% of the shares, Huaxin International also has a large amount of foreign capital intervention.

But Liu Fan had no choice. He had to find a foundry to manufacture the chip. But among the famous domestic chip foundries, TSMC, Huaxin National, Powerchip Technology, Huahong, etc., none of them are joint ventures. , and China’s strength in chip foundry is basically supported by Taiwan Province. However, in the early years, Taiwan Province companies had a very passive attitude towards foreign investment in order to seize the market, and there were some things that they couldn’t help.

But what Liu Fan wants now is people, so whether you have a joint venture or not, the impact on Liu Fan is relatively small. The main reason why he chose Huaxin International is his view of people. Before that, the company staff had been asking the company's staff to conduct research and visits to chip-related companies. Judging from the report, Huaxin International's employees are in the hardest condition, and they are holding their breath in their bones.

What Liu Fan can bring to everyone now is technology and knowledge, but practice and experience need to be completed by employees, so he needs a team that can fight, so he is more inclined to Huaxin International.

Although more and more young people are now pursuing a life without working overtime, and believe that working overtime in companies is inhumane, in Liu Fan's view, in order to truly achieve great things, there must be such a group of people to chew the bones. The key is not a question of whether to work overtime, but a question of the pay-return ratio. Employees can work overtime, but the company must provide the money. Liu Fan believes that as long as the pay-return ratio can be met, overtime work is not exploitation.

When he came to Huaxin International, CEO Zhang Rujin warmly received Liu Fan. After Liu Fan was praised for a while, he proposed to go to the craft production department to have a look.Zhang Rujin naturally wouldn't mind.Liu Fan chatted with several old workers of Huaxin International for a long time, and then told Zhang Rujin the purpose of his visit, "Mr. Zhang, can I show you something?"

"Of course." Zhang Rujin was a little puzzled, but he kept smiling.

Liu Fan nodded, took out two papers from a small stack of papers in his backpack, and turned to look at his teacher Qi Guowei, "Uncle Qi, take a look at this."

Qi Guowei took the two pieces of paper given by Liu Fan, and a group of people gathered around to observe carefully, but after a while, everyone's expressions changed, "Two pieces of paper can explain the core principle of multi-fin FinFET so Clearly, the ability to summarize and express is too strong, Mr. Liu, what is the purpose of you showing us this?"

Liu Fan pointed to the bottom of the drawing, "Isn't it all written on it? This is a graphic text we made for the entire multi-fin FinFE process. What I want to ask Uncle Qi is that you have the ability and willingness to train and overcome Is this craft?"

"Illustrated text?" Qi Guowei's wrinkled face couldn't help jumping, "Mr. Liu didn't mean to say it"

Liu Fan smiled, and took out two more pieces of paper from his bag, "Uncle Qi, take a look."

Qi Guowei and others gathered together again, and the change in everyone's complexion was very obvious at this time.

After Zhang Rujin was keenly aware of what Liu Fan might bring to Huaxin International, he immediately asked Liu Fan why he came to Huaxin International this time. Liu Fan took the opportunity to tell Zhang Rujin his plan to form a cooperation team.

Zhang Rujin's brain was spinning rapidly, he tried to get Liu Fan to show some more, Liu Fan took out a few more sheets of paper, but no more would be enough.This made Zhang Rujin more entangled. From these few photos, he could indeed get a glimpse of some things, but they couldn't see all of them. Moreover, they still couldn't tell whether Liu Fan's technology was really useful.

But everything that Liu Fan created before is obvious to all. If he rejects Liu Fan, will he miss an opportunity to make Huaxin International turn around?But I promised Liu Fan, if the company really took out the best team and turned around to fetch water from the bamboo basket, the loss would be too great.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Rujin had to calm down and said, "Mr. Liu, I hope you can give us two days to discuss this matter. We will definitely give an accurate reply within two days."

Liu Fan nodded. He could roughly understand Zhang Rujin's thoughts. After all, when he was talking about architecture with HiSilicon before, because Liu Fan himself knew both algorithms and programming, he could show his strong professionalism during the discussion. sex.

But Liu Fan doesn't understand chip technology, so he can only print out the contents of "Complete Flow Diagram of Chip Manufacturing", and let those who understand it read and study by themselves, from his own point of view. There is no way to show any professionalism, so there is no way to make others worry.

It can only be said that if Huaxin International is unwilling to cooperate in the end, then find someone else.

After coming out of Huaxin International, Liu Fan drove to the airport.Until 07:30 in the evening, Liu Fan waited until the last person he was going to meet today, "Grandpa Ji."

Surrounded by more than a dozen people, Ji Mushui walked towards Liu Fan, with a smile and anticipation on his face, "Xiao Fan, is what you told me on the phone true?"

"I don't think I'm lying to Grandpa Ji." Liu Fan took Ji Mushui's hand, "Let's talk on the way."

Liu Fan and Ji Mushui were sitting in a business car, and there was another person beside Ji Mushui opposite Liu Fan, Academician Zhan Kaihe who was in the Cambrian period before.

After getting to know each other briefly, Ji Mushui couldn't wait to ask, "How about the AI ​​chip project you want to do this time?"

"Hisilicon basically agreed. Huaxin International still has to wait for them to discuss, so now it is time to see if the Chinese Academy of Sciences has this willingness."

"I have a question." Zhan Kaihe asked, "What we do is actually a lot of overlap with HiSilicon. Why did you pull us and HiSilicon into this group at the same time?"

"That's it. My plan may not be clear to Grandpa Ji. I have already dealt with HiSilicon's R&D team. I still know their strengths. In my entire plan, HiSilicon will be responsible for the future. For the design of traditional chips, Huaxin International is responsible for production, while our Wood Dragon Technology and Chinese Academy of Sciences are responsible for developing better algorithms."

Zhan Kaihe, who listened very carefully, was suddenly startled, and after a while he recalled it, and couldn't help asking, "What you want to do is not an AI-specific chip, but an AI general-purpose chip?!"

"Yes." Liu Fan nodded firmly, "I don't want to overtake on curves. If I want to win, I have to overtake on the straight track, and let them not see our taillights!"
