The contest between China and the United States is inevitable.
When Yi Xiaohai was born again, the most common report he heard was that the United States had imposed economic and trade restrictions on China. China had lost a lot of technical support and it was very difficult to manufacture mobile phone chips.
He clearly remembered that ARM instructed its employees to terminate all valid contracts with a Chinese company and its subsidiaries and abide by the so-called restrictions in the United States, which caused great trouble to Chinese companies.
Yi Xiaohai asked them these questions to see their performance and attitude and decide how he would control the arm.
The shares in his hand are far less than 13%. There are many ways to obtain Arm's technology, but he hopes to use a peaceful way.
Secher and Wells looked slightly embarrassed.
When the company was founded, Apple helped recruit dozens of engineers to develop chips specifically for Apple's early Newton handheld devices.
Those engineers are the mainstay of the company and support their existence. It is undeniable that most of those engineers are Americans.
The company¡¯s designs form the basis for most mobile device processors around the world, and their designs include many technologies originating in the United States.
No matter what it is, they will be closer to the United States.
Now that Yi Xiaohai asked this question, it was difficult for them to answer.
Although they could completely deceive Yi Xiaohai and get help first, the two of them are honest people and it would be detrimental to their character to go back on their promises.
Wells hesitated for a long time, and finally gave the answer that he didn¡¯t know.
"Your answer is quite satisfactory to me."
Although Yi Xiaohai was a little disappointed, he could still accept it.
Because the other party did not directly answer yes or no, at least the answer was obtained after thinking, which can also prove that he is an honest person.
If you can't do something, you won't agree easily.
Yi Xiaohai is about to discuss cooperation with the other party. He cannot sign a contract and can only rely on the integrity of both parties. His behavior undoubtedly reassures Yi Xiaohai.
"Now let's talk about the conditions. The first thing is that I plan to make a mobile phone. I need your technical authorization and the price needs to be the best discount."
"no problem."
Wells agreed without hesitation.
They are open to do business. If Yi Xiaohai wants to cooperate, there is no reason for them to refuse.
¡°The second thing is that the company¡¯s original silicon wafer fab production line was sold to me.¡±
Wells hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
The company originally manufactured chips, but later its strategy changed and the silicon wafer plant almost ceased production.
The production line and technology are relatively backward and have basically been abandoned. If you sell it, you can still generate income. I believe the company will not refuse.
"The third thing is that the company established a design center in China,"
¡°Probably because the first two conditions were too simple, Wells was a little relaxed and wanted to nod as a conditioned reflex.
Fortunately, he reacted immediately:
"Mr. Yi, I cannot agree to this decision, because the establishment of the design center needs to take into account many factors and requires a vote by the board of directors."
"You mean you agreed, and the board of directors agreed, so you won't object?"
Wells nodded: "I agree."
China¡¯s mobile phone market is an emerging market in the world, and the future trend is to dominate the Chinese market.
?????????????????? Yi Xiaohai is probably taking action to acquire a silicon wafer production line. Being able to have a good relationship with Yi Xiaohai will be beneficial to the company¡¯s operations.
"Well, that's what we've settled on. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Yi Xiaohai stood up and held their hands together.
¡¡
On the way back, Zhou Tong asked Yi Xiaohai in confusion why he wanted to acquire that silicon wafer production line instead of finding one with higher technical content.
¡°I also want a production line with better technical content, but as long as I propose it, no one will sell it.¡±
Wafers are silicon wafers used in the production of silicon semiconductor integrated circuits and are the raw materials required for all integrated circuits.
There are currently two silicon wafer fabs in China, but they can only produce 6-inch wafers, which are production lines with relatively low technical content.
Because the larger the diameter of the silicon wafer, it means the better the technology of the wafer factory. 8-inch and 12-inch are the most advanced ones, but they are technically blocked from China and are difficult to obtain.
Yi Xiaohai wants the basically abandoned production line, not for production, but for research on technology.
?In the next 20 years, the global supply of silicon wafers will be insufficient. China's independent supply capacity of 8-inch and 12-inch silicon wafers is weak and highly dependent on imports, which is a shortcoming in the integrated circuit industry chain.
Yi Xiaohai hopes to break dependence on imports.
The laboratory in Shanghai has recruited many experts in semiconductor technology, and Yi Xiaohai wants to independently develop semiconductor-related technologies.
Yi Xiaohai is ambitious. He uses the money earned in the financial market to invest in future technology fields, starting from the most basic industries.
He wants to enable his industry to possess all the hardware and software technologies for computers and smart electronic products, and will not be controlled by anyone.
¡°Anyway, he has too much money to spend now, and he needs to burn money in the high-tech field. No one in the country can play it well, so Yi Xiaohai started early.
Because no one can predict that the future will be the era of mobile Internet, no one can foresee that high-threshold chips will become very profitable, let alone become a bargaining chip in competition between countries.
Yi Xiaohai now invests in backward production lines and recruits talents in this field from abroad, and the resistance will be much smaller.
Give him 5 years, and the times will become something else.
It¡¯s just that there is no need to tell Zhou Tong these words. She only needs to know the technological blockade China faces and how difficult it is to develop.
"Boss, what's the use of this arm company? They're not doing well and they're in chaos internally,"
"ARM's current technology is still very cutting-edge. If we can get their technology, it will be of great benefit to the development of the semiconductor industry."
ARM cores have lower licensing fees than more efficient cores, and integrable cores are more expensive than hardware macro cores.
Simply speaking from the price point of view,
Commercial fabs holding arm licenses can provide lower licensing prices to their fab customers. Through the fab's own design technology, customers can obtain arm at lower or free prepaid arm licensing fees. Kernel.
The relationship is very complicated. In short, arm technology is good for cost control.
And future mobile electronic products require chips with small size and low energy consumption, and ARM is undoubtedly the leader among them.
Fifteen years later, more than 95% of smartphones and tablets in the world use the ARM architecture. From its birth to the present, there are 60 billion chips based on ARM technology.
His future is extremely scary, and Yi Xiaohai needs to control it as soon as possible.
And what is controlled is not the company, but the technology and those talents
