The rise of nanometers

During the Spring Festival, Huang Xiuyuan has been in Shandong Province. In addition to participating in the company's internal Spring Festival Gala, he has been at the Texas Semiconductor Base.

He and Lu Xuedong respectively lead the two semiconductor bases of Dragon Totem. They are currently using the Fuxi CPU with a simple instruction set under the Fuxi architecture. About 64% of the circuit design has been completed.

The initial plan for Fuxi CPU's transistors is 1 billion, which can be applied to mobile phones, tablets, MP4 and the like.

Lu Xuedong was following up on the design of Fuxi's CPU, while Huang Xiuyuan only commanded remotely and put forward some opinions and improvement plans.

Naturally, he did not do anything at Texas Semiconductor. His task at Texas Semiconductor was to complete the research and development of other special-purpose chips.

Currently, eight chip design companies, including Long Totem, Huawei, Ziguang, and ZTE, specialize in developing specific chip types based on the Fuxi architecture.

For example, on the CPU, in addition to Dragon Totem, there are also Huawei's Kirin chips; Unisplendour, Yangtze Memory, and GigaDevice are responsible for the research and development of storage chips and flash memory chips; baseband chips and radio transceiver chips are responsible for Huawei, ZTE, and Datang.

For various other chips, two or three companies are responsible for research and development at the same time. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid putting all eggs in one basket and respond to emergencies; secondly, it will not cause everyone to launch various chip projects at once. Resulting in distraction.

Huang Xiuyuan did not expect that this alliance could exist forever. After all, with the technological proliferation of Fuxi architecture and textile chips, various companies would part ways sooner or later.

But before defeating Western Semiconductor, everyone was comrades in the same trench. In the early days, grouping together for warmth was the only option for weak domestic semiconductor companies.

Huang Xiuyuan, who is busy researching and designing chips, doesn't even bother to pay attention to the recent negotiations between Suiren Company and foreign car companies.

Suiren Company, Shanmei Headquarters.

The spring rain is continuous, and in the early spring of Lingnan, in the sudden warmth and cold, the flowers, plants and trees seem to have taken a nap and regained their energy.

Toyoda Heiraaki was entrusted with an important task by Toyota Corporation and was fully responsible for the negotiations with Suiren Company.

He has spent the Spring Festival in Shanmei. A week ago, Toyota's negotiation team joined forces with Japanese car companies such as Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda, and Mazda to try to get Suiren to make price concessions through a collective purchasing plan.

But they failed, and Suiren Company was not willing to drop a penny.

On the fifth floor of the Peninsula Hotel in Paris, Toyoda Heaaki's eyes were slightly empty, and he looked quietly at the drizzle outside the window. In this haze, a cold wind with a bone-chilling chill made him wake up.

Outside the door, there was a rhythmic knocking.

"Pingzhang-kun, it's me."

He turned around and stepped forward to open the door. The person who came was a short, middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

"Ji Xiong, please come in."

The two entered the house, and Toyoda Heiaki poured each other a cup of black tea.

Tomoo Shigemoto is the plenipotentiary representative of Honda. After taking a sip of black tea, he said with some worry: "Hiraaki-kun, I guess the Chinese people will not give in. We must prepare for the worst."

"I heard that the representative of Volkswagen also failed the day before yesterday." The calm Toyoda Heiaki seemed to be talking to himself.

Tomoo Shigemoto showed a trace of ridicule: "The public is too arrogant. They think it's the past and they can be arrogant."

Rubbing his cheek next to his ear, Toyoda asked a question: "What is the current attitude of the Chinese car companies we cooperate with?"

"Dongfeng said that the joint venture can get a special share in accordance with the standards of Chinese companies, but they can't do anything about the issue of exporting abroad. Other FAW, SAIC, BAIC and Changan also have the same attitude."

"As expected." Toyoda Heizhang sighed.

This time they came to Shantou and the United States to negotiate. The first purpose was the price issue, and the second issue was the export issue.

Because Suiren Company only allows the sale of the monkey version to Toyota on the grounds that thermoelectric power generation modules, solar panels, and sensitive technologies are involved, its performance is only about 70% of the original version.

Although 70% of the performance is already very powerful, at the same price, they can only buy the monkey version. No wonder they find it difficult to accept it.

Moreover, Suiren Company is also very overbearing, requiring customized thermoelectric power generation modules and solar panels for export. The customization company must provide the frame code, and can only order as many as needed, and it must be supervised by Suiren Company.

Among them, Mitsubishi was the first to refuse because their company produced military supplies, so it was naturally impossible for them to accept the overlord contract from Suiren Company.

This model is actually similar to the long-arm jurisdiction in the United States.

That is to say, companies that use thermoelectric power generation modules and solar panels must accept the supervision of Suiren Company.

Mitsubishi was the first to choose to withdraw from negotiations, while Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda were unable to do so. After all, Mitsubishi's automobile business had gradually declined, and it was naturally impossible for it to surrender to Suiren for the sake of its automobile business.

March 21st.

The Japanese car company negotiation team once again started negotiations with Suiren Company.

In the conference room, as soon as the two sides met, Jiang Hailin, who was in charge of the negotiations, gave a direct blow to the representatives of the Japanese car companies.

Jiang Hailin gave an ultimatum expressionlessly: "Everyone, if you don't have the sincerity to cooperate, you won't have to come back after you leave this door. I don't have time to grind your teeth with you."

"Jiang Sang, I'm very sorry for causing you trouble." Toyoda Heichang immediately bowed and apologized, with a very humble attitude.

Several other business representatives also bowed and apologized.

Japanese people are fearful of power but not virtuous. They have small etiquette but no great righteousness. This is Huang Xiuyuan's evaluation of Japanese people in the internal cultural class.

Jiang Hailin's power made these Japanese people behave more respectfully.

The two sides entered negotiations. Faced with the Suiren Company that refused to give in, the Japanese car company's negotiation team was also very helpless.

During Toyoda's reign, he contacted the headquarters separately three times to discuss relevant conditions. Toyota, which had no cards, was the first to give in, followed closely by Honda, and then Nissan and Mazda also chose to give in.

Since Suiren Company's contract was ready, Jiang Hailin directly sent a contract to each car company representative and asked them to sign and seal it.

In this kind of negotiation where there is a huge difference in strength, the weaker party has no room for bargaining.

Legal personnel from Toyota and other companies checked the terms and found no modifications, additions or deletions. It was still the first version before, so they nodded to Toyoda Hiraki.

Pulling out his pen, Toyoda Heira decisively signed his name on the contract, stamped it with his official seal, bowed to Jiang Hailin and said, "Jiang Sang, happy cooperation."

"President Toyota is so polite." Jiang Hailin smiled and waved his hand, took out a pen and signed and stamped the contract. Then the two parties exchanged the contract and each kept one copy.

Although in the eyes of others, this is a very humiliating cooperation, in the eyes of Japanese car companies, it is better to live and die.

Their backbones were broken by the Americans the moment the Plaza Accord was signed. Maybe this is life!

Toyoda Heiraaki led a Japanese car company and got the contract from Suiren Company. He walked out of the door of Suiren Company, and the sky was gloomy.

Suddenly, before he got in the car, he looked back at the building not far away. The four characters Suiren Technology seemed to have an invisible magic power, which made him feel like he was worshiping.
