Technological Hegemony

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gong Xiangdong regretted it. Luo Jia had given him great trust in letting him into the laboratory. How could he be insatiable and inquire about the progress of other people's experiments.

But Luo Jia smiled lightly, and said naturally: "The theoretical construction has been completed, and the materials and waveforms are being tested."

Both Gong Xiangdong and Sha Zhan were taken aback. The progress was so fast that they had already reached the channel testing stage! ?

Invention is not an easy task. It requires constant trial and error. The popularization of electric lights is due to the appearance of carbonized bamboo filaments. However, before Edison came up with carbonized bamboo filaments, he tried countless materials, all of which ended in failure.

Therefore, it is very metaphysical to invent this matter. It is not enough to have a theory, but also to have luck.

Some people have been unsuccessful for a lifetime, but some people are lucky to find a solution and produce a product that can be mass-produced in a short period of time.

Ling Feng suddenly remembered something, and reported to Luo Jia that all previous experiments had failed, should he consider changing the waveform of the energy wave and try again?

Luo Jia pretended to frown and think, then agreed with Ling Feng, and proposed to test a higher frequency band.

This is Luo Jia's daily work. He does not participate in research and development. He is only responsible for providing ideas and directions. It is a bit like a commander in chief. There are corresponding personnel responsible for debugging equipment and recording experimental data.

Sha Zhan and Gong Xiangdong could see clearly, and this was what Luo Jia let them see on purpose, so as to downplay their sense of existence.

You see, the research results are made by the team, not by me alone.

Even so, Sha Zhan and Gong Xiangdong were still extremely shocked. When Luo Jia communicated with Dr. Ling Feng, he used a lot of technical terms. It was obvious that he had worked hard secretly while studying electricity.

What's more important is the idea.

Ideas determine the way out, Luo Jia's ideas are too advanced, a little crazy, and a little whimsical, I really want to open his head to see how these wonderful ideas popped up.

It's a pity that when Luo Jia talked about the specific technical details, he kept silent.

Such smart people as Sha Zhan and Gong Xiangdong immediately realized that they had snooped on other people's business secrets. At this time, they should leave immediately.

Gong Xiangdong felt emotional, and shook hands with his old friend Ling Feng to say goodbye, "I really understand why you are willing to give up your teaching position at Tsinghua University, and come to Luo Jia's company, where you can indeed get in touch with more cutting-edge things. "

Ling Feng smiled, "Long live I understand, anyway, although I am very busy every day, I am energetic and hopeful. It seems that I have returned to the time when I was a graduate student, doing experiments with my tutor every day, and I am full of expectations for the results of the experiments. .”

Luo Jia sent Sha Zhan and Gong Xiangdong out. Before leaving, Gong Xiangdong couldn't bear it again and asked Luo Jia about the progress of the experiment.

Huawei is in a hurry now.

On July 16th, Samsung and Apple joined hands to make a big move, but Huawei and the four domestic giants have nothing to do about it.

This is not a simple war, but a battle of life and death in the mobile phone industry, a battle for supremacy.

Luo Jia smiled, and handed Gong Xiangdong a piece of printing paper that had been prepared earlier. On it was a personal name, about twenty people, all from HiSilicon Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Huawei.

"If you want to speed up the progress of the project, you can borrow some people from me." Luo Jia said.

 …

Gong Xiangdong returned to the 2012 laboratory with the list and immediately called the founder Mr. Ren.

On the phone, Gong Xiangdong explained in detail the projects Star Technology is currently working on, their research progress, and the terrifying R\u0026D team under Luo Jia.

Gong Xiangdong told the facts objectively, but after Mr. Ren listened, he immediately complained.

"Great! Is it possible that they will be before July 16th,

Get out the energy wave wireless charging technology? There is no need for mass production, as long as the laboratory stage is successful. After all, we will soon face a strong counterattack from Samsung and Apple, and we lack lethal ammunition in our hands. "

"If wireless charging really becomes a reality, it will definitely be a killer nuclear bomb!" Mr. Ren said excitedly, "And I got news that Hong Tao, who is in charge of outreach at Star Technology, recently came forward to acquire a company located in Gusu. The procedures for the circuit board factory have been completed."

"So obviously, Star Technology is confident that it will launch wireless charging technology in the near future, so it is planning ahead in terms of production."

Gong Xiangdong looked at the list in his hand, "Mr. Ren, Xingchen Technology has put forward a condition that can help them speed up their research and development progress."

"What conditions?"

"VIP."

"Who do you want?"

"The engineers on HiSilicon, since I am not in charge of HiSilicon, I don't know their situation well, but I have already got the list."

"Is there a list?" On the other end of the phone, Mr. Ren was silent for a few seconds.

"Without further delay, inform HiSilicon that a conference call will be held immediately!"

 …

Huawei is the number one technology group in China, with many departments and branches, among which HiSilicon specializes in semiconductor design.

A layman thinks that only the processor of Huawei is designed by itself, which is the famous Kirin series.

In fact, Hisilicon not only designed the SOC, but also designed countless chips such as power management chips, radio frequency chips, audio chips, etc., all of which were independently developed by Huawei.

Open any Huawei mobile phone, more than half of the chips are independently designed by Huawei and have independent intellectual property rights. my country's semiconductor foundry giant SMIC and TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor foundry in the Gulf Province, are responsible for production.

This is unique among all domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

No way, the Huawei company formed by straight men from science and engineering is just so straightforward, they like to make everything by themselves, and they do it well.

Of course, at present, Star Technology, a rising star, is more in the limelight. Although there are female workers in the factory below, the company headquarters with 150 people are all pure men. They are more straightforward than Huawei, and the integrity is a mess.

HiSilicon is very powerful. In 2009, among the top 50 global semiconductor design companies, only one Chinese company was selected, and that was Huawei HiSilicon.

But by 2016, within just seven years, there were as many as eleven semiconductor design companies in my country, and they ranked among the top 50 in the world.

Huawei HiSilicon, Spreadtrum, ZTE, Datang, NARI, Huada, RDA, ISSI, Rockchip, Allwinner, Montage, this is the full list of the Eleven Arhats in my country's semiconductor design field.

Most of these companies have never been heard of by outsiders. After all, this field is too professional, far beyond the scope of ordinary people's lives.

Since our country has made such a crazy leap forward in the field of semiconductor design, it is conceivable how far Huawei HiSilicon, which was the first to win the top 50 in the world, has developed.

In the field of semiconductor design, there are many giant-level players in the world, such as Intel, Qualcomm, Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Micron, Texas Instruments, etc., each of which is famous and famous.

And Huawei HiSilicon is the only existence in our country that can be on an equal footing with these semiconductor giants.

Long before the start of this all-out war in the mobile phone field, Huawei Hisilicon had fought tough battles with semiconductor design giant Qualcomm for many years, and it was extremely tragic, with corpses everywhere.

For now, HiSilicon and Qualcomm are winning and losing each other, and it is difficult for anyone to defeat the opponent in one breath.

Now that Luo Jia wanted to poach someone from HiSilicon, it immediately shocked the entire top management of Huawei.

That's HiSilicon, the most important subsidiary of Huawei.

The video conference was held immediately. From Mr. Ren to Mr. He of HiSilicon, all of them looked serious.

It is worth mentioning that Huawei HiSilicon, the leader of the flagship in the domestic semiconductor design field, is a lady, which can be regarded as a unique color in Huawei, a straight male company.

"How? Can these people give Xingchen Technology?" Mr. Ren asked directly.

Mr. He shook his head, Mr. Ren thought she was refusing, and his heart skipped a beat.

But immediately, Mr. He laughed again, "It's amazing."

"God?" Everyone was puzzled.

Mr. He put down the list in his hand and explained to everyone, "I mean, this list is amazing."

"The people on the list are all our current absolute main force, but all of them are in deputy positions."

Mr. Ren frowned, "It's best to keep it simple."

Mr. He tapped his finger on the table lightly, "Those who can come up with this list must be very familiar with our internal personnel structure in HiSilicon. If these engineers are removed from the project, it will not affect it, but they They are also very capable, and they are good seedlings we are cultivating."

"Take the university as an example. The professors leading the research team did not move at Star Technology, and the graduate students who worked best for the professors did not move either. However, they wanted to poach the second most capable graduate students in the group."

"This is not a god, what else can it be?"

"Unexpectedly, Xingchen Technology is so accurate in poaching people, which makes me feel like I have a sharp edge, as if they have seen through our HiSilicon thoroughly, knowing who poached has no effect on us, but those people, in turn Be a pillar of the future."

"Unbelievable, really incredible, how did Xingchen Technology come up with this list?"
