Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty Second: Come to Dig Walls Again
"I'm curious, how do you think we, Huawei, are interested in your chip open source plan?"
Ren Zhengfei didn't shake his head or nod, but asked curiously.
Of course, in fact he did come for this.
It's just that the purpose of his coming to Huanyu Technology, other than him, even Huawei insiders don't know.
How could Chen Yu know?
"If Mr. Ren is not interested in our chip open source, I'm afraid he is really not interested in coming to us."
"This is not necessarily. Your company has performed very well in various businesses. In fact, I have been paying close attention to it."
"Our business does not overlap with Huawei's business, and for the time being, I believe I am not particularly interested."
"Are you so sure?"
"Half and half."
Speaking of which, Chen Yu laughed: "If Mr. Ren doesn't come, I may not be particularly sure, but since Mr. Ren is here, my guess should be correct. After all, with Mr. Ren's eyes, one should be able to see To our chip plan is not only for us, but also very beneficial to Huawei."
"Indeed."
In this regard, Ren Zhengfei nodded: "I have seen your chip open source plan. It is not simply the way of mobile phone chips and computer chips, but the entire Internet of Things, or the integration of all electronic chips, which is very important for us Huawei. Beneficial. But…”
"Mr. Ren wants to say, you want to see more of our strength, right? Or, how can you trust me?"
Ren Zhengfei nodded with a smile.
Although he is very interested in Huanyu Technology's chip plan, he is a very rational person.
He clearly knows that even if you have a rigorous plan and sufficient funds, you may not be able to break the chip situation in Europe and the United States.
Although Huanyu Technology got off to a good start.
"I don't know how to say it, but if I had to say it, I would say that our Huanyu Technology has this strength. Of course, there may be a lot of doubts from Mr. Ren, including the heads of some other companies, just like doubting our Huanyu Technology. There is no technology at all, but it is just like making a mobile phone.
But in fact, we do a very good job of making mobile phones. "
This translation is a bit self-deprecating, but it has an incomparable confidence.
This reminds Ren Zhengfei of Huawei back then.
They also did not develop very well in the field of communication technology when they first entered the field of communication technology, and many people also doubted the strength of Huawei.
But a few years later, Huawei used its own strength to prove to its opponents that if you can do it, so can we.
However, Ren Zhengfei still said: "The chip is not comparable to the mobile phone. Although the mobile phone technology is also very complicated, it is not comparable to the chip. After all, the chip involves too many things..."
"Everything has to be done step by step, it can't be perfected all at once. This is the case with mobile phones, and the same is true with chips."
"Can I ask how long your chip plan will take?"
"I don't know, there is no timetable for now."
"Approximately how much it will cost."
"For the time being, no specific statistics are available."
"Haha, Mr. Chen, your reasons can't convince me to join."
"The chip plan is not persuasive. Even if I have the best eloquence, I will not approve it. What our chip plan needs are those who have dreams with us."
"dream."
Ren Zhengfei read these two words: "Isn't it too ideal to talk about dreams in the capital market?"
"I don't think that, on the contrary, a lot of capital has achieved the dreams of countless people."
"That's a pretty new statement."
Done.
Ren Zhengfei looked at Chen Yu: "Is the agreement ready?"
"Ready."
Chen Yu took out the prepared agreement.
Both are smart people.
In fact, there is no reason to say so much above.
The reason is that one Chen Yu wants to do it, and the other is that Ren Zhengfei also wants to do it.
Without Chen Yu, Ren Zhengfei might do it himself.
But since Chen Yu did it, it doesn't matter if Ren Zhengfei did it or not.
After all, this chip plan is an open source solution, and members of the founding group can use it without restrictions.
At the same time, according to the agreement, members of the founding group can also name the chip differently.
That is to say.
If the chip is successfully built in the future, Huanyu Technology can be called Huanyu chip.
Huawei can also be called Huawei chips.
The chip is the same chip, but the name is up to you.
In this way, the fairness of the founding group members is guaranteed, and there will be no disputes over the chip brand.
Of course, the premise is that a certain amount of money is required.
Or not one stroke, but multiple strokes.
The exact amount of money to be paid depends on the future situation.
"The first batch of funds will be credited to the foundation's account in three days."
"Thank you, Mr. Ren."
"Don't thank me, like you said, for the dream."
Everything about the chip open source program is public.
Not just the chip architecture, but of course the protocol as well.
Ren Zhengfei had already studied the agreement before, and he recognized the agreement proposed by Chen Yu, so this time he just watched it for a while before signing his name.
"President Ren told me just now, but I didn't expect President Ren to have a dream too."
"People always have dreams, although it looks ridiculous in the capital market. But what you said just now, capital can sometimes achieve the dreams of countless people. By the way, when are you free to come to Huawei?"
"Don't worry, you must come."
"Then it's settled, I'll be waiting for you at Huawei."
"it is good."
After signing the agreement, Ren Zhengfei said goodbye, and Chen Yu sent Ren Zhengfei to the door.
Watching Ren Zhengfei go away, Chen Yu clenched his fists.
The chip open source plan finally has a company involved.
Moreover, this is an important giant in the future.
With Huawei's participation, his chip plan has a higher probability of success.
...
"I didn't expect a company to join our chip plan so soon."
With the agreement, Chen Yu told Li Biqing that Huawei had joined.
"President, didn't you keep saying that there is no company to cooperate with us?"
"It was just a rant at the time."
Li Biqing said with a sigh: "With our technology and strength, I thought it should be a year later."
"President, you see, outsiders are more discerning than you."
"You kid, do I have no vision to come here?"
"Don't tell me, just kidding, your old eyes are so ruthless. When I was still in high school, you fooled me into the deep city. It's amazing."
"Stop it."
"But seriously, I didn't expect Huawei to join us, I thought they wanted to do it themselves."
It's not impossible.
In the previous life, Huawei secretly made its own chips.
And it's been doing it for more than ten years.
Until the United States banned Huawei and did not allow Huawei to use ARM chips, the spare tire plan for more than ten years turned positive overnight.
Speaking of which, according to the historical process of the previous life, Huawei started to develop chips at about this time.
But now he is one step ahead of himself.
"It's possible for them to do it themselves, but it's more advantageous to open source our chips."
Li Biqing analyzed: "Not only our open source solution, but also our founding team cooperation plan. It can balance the interests of everyone and will not be controlled by any one, which is why Ren Zhengfei is willing to join."
"That too."
Chen Yu also nodded.
He took this into account when he was working on the chip plan at the time.
In order to break the game, you can only unite all those who can be united.
And how to combine, that is to balance the interests of all participants as much as possible.
Otherwise, if you engage in a chip plan controlled by yourself, ghosts may join.
Unless you are now Microsoft, you are now a giant like Intel.
"Looking at it this way, Chen Yu, you need to absorb some more talents."
"Absorb some more talents, Dean, isn't there you?"
"I've already turned white hair, and I can work for a few more years. At most, I can help you get this stall up. In the future, the real chips will depend on young people."
"this……"
Looking at Li Biqing, Chen Yu also nodded.
Li Biqing himself is about to retire, and he can only help him for a few more years at most.
But the chip plan is not one or two years, nor three or four years, it may be five years or even 10 years.
"Dean, do you have a suitable candidate to take over your class?"
"I haven't found it yet, but you can go to Huawei and have a look."
"Huawei?"
"Hehe, you may not know that Huawei has a lot of super experts in it."
"this……"
Chen Yu was a little embarrassed: "President, you want me to dig a corner."
"Talents can't be grown by themselves. Huanyu's technological background is too poor, and it's impossible to cultivate too many talents. If you don't dig corners, you will drink the northwest wind. Besides, didn't you poach me?"
"But just after signing an agreement with Huawei, and turning around to dig their corners, isn't it too shameless?"
"President, why are you looking at me?"
"Okay, okay, I'll admit, I've done a lot of these shameless things."
Chen Yu quickly surrendered.
People know their own affairs.
Huanyu Technology has more than half of the talents poached from corners.
Zou Tao, who is engaged in online games, dug this one from Jinshan.
The dreamy Xu Bo was dug from NetEase.
Li Xuelin, who is engaged in the portal, is not a talent cultivated by Huanyu Technology itself.
From this point of view, taking the opportunity to visit Huawei next time, I have to dig some talents to come.
Who to dig?
This is something to think about.
