Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 110 Let’s not talk about it anymore. Goodbye. I won’t see you off.

At the same time, Zhao Jianwei caught up with Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan asked: "Jianwei, why did you come out too?"

Zhao Jianwei said, "Hey, Brother Nan, how can I stay with those two? By the way, where are you going?"

Jiang Nan replied: "Where else can I go? I can go to the boss."

Zhao Jianwei was stunned: "This matter... should I really ask the boss?"

"Yes, this is a serious matter. I have to ask my leader what he has to say."

"That's true. 50 million US dollars, that's too expensive."

Jiang Nan sighed: "I also think it's expensive and I can't afford it. I'll ask my boss what he thinks."

A moment later, Jiang Nan arrived at the door of the president's office, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door.

There were voices coming from inside.

"Please come in."

Jiang Nan pushed the door open and went in.

As mentioned earlier, HiSilicon Semiconductor is an independently operated department within Huayao.

The current president of HiSilicon Semiconductor is He Yunbo.

At this time, He Yunbo was on the phone.

"Okay, fine, let's do this. There's no rush. Let's talk about it in detail another time."

He Yunbo hung up the phone and motioned Jiang Nan to sit down.

"Jiang Nan, why are you here? Don't you have a meeting with Sansang's people today?"

"Yes, we want to talk to Sansang to see if we can cooperate."

"How was the talk?"

"Mr. He, the people from Sansang said they can do the tape-out for us, but the price they ask is too high."

He Yunbo asked curiously, "How much did they quote?"

"Fifty million...US dollars."

"...Hmm? One-time fee?

"Yes, it's a one-time fee."

He Yunbo was stunned after hearing this. He obviously did not expect that the representative of Sansang Semiconductor would ask for such a high price.

He Yunbo shook his head: "Fifty million US dollars, isn't that too much?"

“So, this is really difficult to handle.”

He Yunbo did not respond, but continued to frown and think.

In fact, He Yunbo, as the president of Hixi Semiconductor, is one of the core members.

Of course he knew that Huayao was cooperating with Hu Jiangshan to manufacture chips, and that they had already achieved results.

Nearly 200 million chips have been shipped, all of which are 70990
The improved version of Kirin 990 has been sent to Hu Jiangshan and is currently being taped out.

But there is no result yet, and I don’t know whether the final tape-out can be successful.

If the tape-out is successful, there is no need to go through the trouble of negotiating with other companies. We can just let Hong Kong Island Lake Jiangshan try mass production.

Anyway, even if it is Sansang Semiconductor, it is impossible for it to manufacture chips for Huayao.

But the fear is that the tape-out will not be successful.

You should know that the number of transistors in the improved version of Kirin 990 has actually exceeded the seven-nanometer level, reaching six nanometers and heading straight for five nanometers.

It is not so easy to successfully tape out such a chip, and the technical difficulty is very high.

That's why He Yunbo asked Jiang Nan and others to talk to Sansang to see if it's possible to reach some level of cooperation, even if it's just tape-out.

But I didn't expect the other party to ask for such a high price.

It is obvious that the people of Sansang think they have Huayao in their grasp, which means they are taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

This is also in line with Sansang's style.

In the past, Huayao mobile phones all used Sansang’s screen panels, but after Huayao mobile phones became popular, Sansang started to make some small moves.

Sansang used every possible means to do this, including raising prices and deliberately out of stock.

Jiang Nan did not disturb He Yunbo while he was thinking.

Finally, He Yunbo picked up his phone and made a call.

"Hey, Lao Wang, is it convenient for us to talk?"

Lao Wang? Which Lao Wang? Ah, most likely Wang Chengdong, the boss of Huayao Terminal.

There is no one else who can make He Yunbo call him Lao Wang.

I just heard He Yunbo continue talking.

"Lao Wang, is there any news about the tape-out? Yes, we have to hurry up now. We can't wait too long, otherwise we won't even have time to make changes."

"Okay, ask that young man right away, and call me back when you have any news."

"Okay, let's do this."

Jiang Nan was listening nearby and was completely confused.

Are there other companies doing tape-out?

That’s not right. How come I haven’t heard any news about it?

He Yunbo put down the phone and said, "Wait a few minutes and see if there is any news."

Jiang Nan nodded.

As they were talking, He Yunbo's cell phone rang.

At the same time, inside the conference room.

Zhao Jianwei felt a little bored facing the two business representatives from Sansang.

Zhao Jianwei stayed outside for a while just now, and he finally came back.

You have to pretend to do it no matter what. You can't leave these two people alone in the room, otherwise the other party will find fault with you.

Park was playing with his coffee cup and asked Zhao Jianwei, "Why hasn't that person come back yet? Are we still going to talk?"

Zhao Jianwei said: "Sorry, sorry, he will be back soon, please wait a little longer."

"Oh, then get me another cup of coffee. I'm out of drinks."

Zhao Jianwei had no choice but to pour another cup of coffee for Zhao Jianwei.

Park Zhenghao smiled and said, "Sometimes I think you Huayao are weird."

Zhao Jianwei was stunned: "Why is it strange?"

"It's already this late, what are you still discussing? Do you think there are other options? The sooner we decide, the sooner we can go back and prepare for tape-out."

Zhao Jianwei was speechless for a moment.

In his opinion, this Simida was really unreasonable.

Fifty million US dollars, that’s quite a bold request.

Even if I have no choice, I can't agree to it easily.

If Zhao Jianwei had had the same temper, he would have driven them away long ago.

Just then, the door opened.

Jiang Nan is back.

But Jiang Nan's condition was not right.

Excited, no, it should be said that he was excited. His eyes seemed to be shining, as if he had received some incredible news.

Zhao Jianwei asked in a low voice: "Brother Nan, what's going on?"

Jiang Nan waved his hands, suppressing his excitement, and indicated that they should talk about it in private.

Park Zhenghao asked: "What does your leader think? Do you want to sign the contract now?"

Jiang Nan said to Park Zhenghao and Zhou Zhenzhen: "I'm sorry, let's stop here today."

Park Zhenghao and Zhou Zhenzhen were both stunned.

"What do you mean? I don't plan to talk about it."

"No more talk, no more talk."

Park Zhenghao raised his eyebrows and said, "What's going on? Didn't you just go to ask for instructions from your leader?"

"Yes, I have consulted with the leader, and he decided not to discuss it."

Park Zhenghao and Zhou Zhenzhen were confused. They didn't expect that after waiting for such a long time, this would be the result.

A moment later, they were escorted out.

Park Zhenghao was very angry: "What's wrong with them? How could they treat us like this? It's so rude!"

Zhou Zhenzhen said: "Their attitude suddenly changed. Maybe there really is a problem. Maybe our offer is too high and they can't afford it."
