Analog company starts with technology

As Niu Geng expected, after trying to contact other semiconductor chip manufacturers, they all received the same reply.

That is to say, it cannot be OEM for Xingyuan Technology.

Domestic lithography machines are still developing 28-nanometer technology, and cannot produce Shining Star's 7-nanometer or even 5-nanometer chips. If this continues, once the chip inventory is completely exhausted, the Shining Star brand will almost cease to exist in name only.

It will bring huge losses to Xingyuan Technology.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that there is only one way to go.

That is to develop its own chip manufacturing industry chain and completely get rid of overseas technology monopoly on hardware.

By that time, Xingyuan Technology will no longer have any restrictions on related industries, and the only ones who will suffer in the end will be Weisoft and other overseas companies.

Unfortunately, there is a huge gap between dreams and reality.

As everyone knows.

A complete chip production line requires a variety of front-end process core equipment such as photolithography machines, etching machines, and ion implanters. The most important photolithography machine contains many advanced technologies and requires a large amount of domestic investment and various talents. .

I still don’t know how long it will take to catch up with the top overseas level.

In Niu Geng's impression, in the domestic research and development of photolithography machines, the light source, objective lens photoresist and resolution-improving technology are all flaws, and there is a big gap between them and overseas.

Although Niu Geng can use optimization points to make up for it, it contains so many technologies and I don’t know how much he has to invest in it.

What's more, optimization failures may occur.

It is estimated that even if he exchanges all his personal funds for optimization points, it may not be enough.

This is why he has never thought about developing a photolithography machine.

A big investment doesn’t mean you make more money!

But now in this context, there seems to be no better way to revitalize Xingyao.

Although the difficulties are great.

Is it possible to sell Fanxing System to Weiruan?

joke.

Niu Geng didn't understand what it meant to admit defeat.

Besides, even if Niu Geng really agrees to this matter, fans of Xingyuan Technology will not agree.

The higher-ups will not just watch this happen.

"Wei Ruan, Wei Ruan, you really gave me a problem this time!"

In the office of the president of Xingyuan Technology Company, Niu Geng looked at the responses from the major chip manufacturers submitted by Lin Wan, and showed a wry smile for a while: "It seems that we have to talk to the higher-ups. It is really difficult to do it by one company alone."

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"please……"

Before Niu Gengjin could say the word, he saw Qin Xiaoman pushing the door open and immediately said: "Mr. Niu, the company received an email from the fruit company. Their CEO Kulas wants to talk to you. .”

Fruit company?

CEO Kuras?

Hearing this, Niu Geng was startled: "You want to have a conversation with me?"

At a time when Xingyuan Technology was restricted from chip sources, at this point in time, the CEO of a fruit company came to visit and had a direct conversation with him, which inevitably made people think less.

Surprised at the reason.

I don’t know what the other party’s intentions are.

Both fruit phones and computers use their own operating systems and have independent ecological environments. It stands to reason that the struggle between Fanxing System and Weiruan System will not have a great impact on them. At most, it will lead to a decline in computer sales.

After all, in recent years, with the rise of domestic computer brands, the weight of fruit computers in the domestic market has continued to decline.

certainly.

This does not prevent Niu Geng from agreeing to Kulas' request and having a dialogue with him.

Anyway, he really wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Kuras's gourd.

With his thoughts running rapidly, Niu Geng immediately told Qin Xiaoman: "Reply to them. There is no problem with this conversation."

"It's Mr. Niu."

Qin Xiaoman nodded: "I'll do it right away."

…

About an hour later.

Niu Geng was sitting in the conference room, wearing simultaneous translation headphones, while Qin Xiaoman stood beside him with a serious expression.

There is a large screen in front of the two people. The picture displayed on it is the CEO of the fruit company. Judging from the background, it should be in an office.

"Mr. Niu Geng, I am very happy to meet you."

"I'm glad to see you too." Faced with Kuras's proactive greeting, Niu Geng replied with a smile on his face.

After a few more business braggings, Niu Geng finally lost his patience and directly brought the topic back to business, asking: "Mr. Kulas wants to talk to me so much. It should be more than a simple acquaintance. What's the matter?" Just say it.”

Kulas, who was far away in the fruit company's headquarters in Bia, Ghana, didn't hesitate when he heard these words, and immediately expressed his intention.

"It's very simple."

"We want to purchase the Fanxing Intelligent Operating System developed by your company. I wonder if Mr. Niu Geng is willing to come to Bia City to discuss it in person. I will give you a grand welcome at the Fruit Headquarters."

After hearing these words, Niu Geng was very surprised. He never expected that the other party would make this decision.

As an intelligent operating system, Fanxing system is compatible with various kernels and software programs, so it can be used on fruit computers. There is no doubt about this.

But the fruit obviously has its own system, so why is it also interested in the star system? This is worth thinking about.

more importantly.

If Guoguo announces the use of the Star System at this time, it is equivalent to opposing Weiruan and carrying out a proper backstab, which is not in its own interests no matter how you look at it.

So Niu Geng directly questioned: "Aren't you afraid that Weiruan will get angry if you cooperate with us?"

"Weisoft cannot affect our strategic planning. Your company's technology in artificial intelligence is well-known around the world, and artificial intelligence must be the future development trend of the industry. That's why we have the idea of ​​cooperation. I hope Mr. Niu Geng can do well." Think about it and give me an answer as soon as possible."

Kuras on the screen looked very calm when he said this, and it could be seen that there was a sense of relief on his body, as if he really didn't care what Weiruan would think.

After the video conversation ended, Niu Geng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Weigh the pros and cons carefully.

Under the circumstances where Weiruan restricts major computer brands from using Fanxing system, if they can really establish cooperation with Guoguo, it will be like a bomb that has landed exactly in the hinterland of Weiruan.

Relying on the popularity of Fruit Computer overseas, I believe that Fanxing System will soon be able to establish a new ecosystem and gradually encroach on the space of Weisoft System.

In addition, with the strength of the fruit company, if they really want to purchase the Star System, the quantity will definitely not be small.

It can be regarded as making up for Xingyao's current predicament.

It's just that he is now regarded as a thorn in Weiruan's side. Going to the opponent's territory and negotiating business with his opponent does involve certain risks. If he betrays him, his life may even be threatened.
