1991 Starting from the core

But Chen Daohua still frowned slightly, looking not very relaxed.

He looked at Su Yuanshan, hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "I heard that after Xinghai's GPU chip design is successful, it will adopt a chipset supply model and provide it to all board card manufacturers?"

Su Yuanshan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know who Chen Daohua heard it from - it didn't matter, but what he "heard" was indeed true, and Su Yuanshan didn't intend to deceive him.

With the hot sales of "Quake" in the west and the continuous emergence of various 3D games, VOODOO accelerator cards have also quickly opened up the market. If nothing else happens, with the explosion of 3D games next year, 3D accelerator cards will There will be a peak demand period at the same time next year.

Today, all Voodoo acceleration cores are produced and sold by Meijie. Even Chen Daohua can predict that the profit of 3D accelerator cards may even surpass that of motherboards next year.

Once the chipset supply model is adopted, it means that Meijie is no longer the only cooperative manufacturer of VODOO accelerator cards...

"Well... only in this way can we complete updates and iterations in the field of graphics cards in a short period of time. And although this will make a little less money, it will help form a complete industrial chain, diversify products, and minimize potential opponents." Stifled in the cradle.”

"It means it is Intel in the graphics card market."

Su Yuanshan nodded: "That's what I mean."

Seeing Su Yuanshan admit it frankly, Chen Daohua knew that there was probably no room for maneuver in this matter. He also understands that after all, Xinghai will soon be a listed company, and it is also a comprehensive technology company integrating CPU, GPU, software, Internet, and mobile communications manufacturing.

This kind of enterprise has a general name - giant.

Decisions made by giants must be based on their own interests and development.

"Brother Chen, according to the entire machine industry chain, although the status of board design and manufacturing is much higher than that of complete machine assembly, compared to chip design and production... the status is still a little lower. After all, to a large extent On the other hand, it is just a supporting industry.”

Su Yuanshan looked at Chen Daohua and said seriously: "I don't mean to underestimate Mei Jie, but this is how our industry is, chips are king."

After receiving Su Yuanshan's sincere answer, Chen Daohua just sighed, and then laughed: "It seems that only through continuous polishing of technology can we win the market."

"Yes, and Meijie's advantage is still very obvious."

At this time, the car stopped at the door of the office building. Su Yuanshan and Chen Daohua got off the car and walked and chatted: "Now pure board and card companies have proven that their existence is necessary in the industry chain, especially the rising DIY market. It requires product diversity. As the industry pyramid takes shape, if we do not expand our business, what everyone will compete for in the future is nothing more than the status of their own class."

Chen Daohua listened silently all the way. At this time, he noticed what Su Yuanshan said about business expansion and stopped: "When you talk about business expansion, you mean laptops and tablets."

"Yes, notebooks and tablets are more integrated than desktop machines, and can better accumulate and reflect technical advantages. More importantly, LCD panels are about to usher in a technological explosion, which fits these two products perfectly. ." Su Yuanshan said with a smile: "I am more selfish, and it is also convenient for us to promote the operating system."

Chen Daohua laughed.

Because of Chen Jing, he has a thorough understanding of Yuanxin's ambitions - almost no one outside knows that Yuanxin has been developing operating systems based on mobile devices in a low-key manner in order to comprehensively lay out the future mobile market.

By then, tablets and notebooks equipped with YX architecture CPUs, coupled with the operating system, will form a complete mobile ecosystem.

"Then we will set up a tablet design center next year."

"Well, our baseband integrated chips should also come to an end next year. At that time, I will send a team to station here to optimize mobile chips."

The two chatted and entered the design center.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yuanshan visited the notebook design team, which had already progressed to a considerable extent, and then visited the board laboratory - Meijie was responsible for a considerable part of the speed-up design tasks in USBIF.

After all, the USB bus will eventually be implemented on the motherboard.

Regarding USB, Su Yuanshan has always had ideas, because this thing is really easy to use. In addition, by the end of next year at the latest, Yuanxin will launch USB flash drives and MP3 players. By then, USB will be popularized faster than in its previous life and will have no rivals.

…

Su Yuanshan and Zhou Xiaohui got out of the car in advance in front of a small lake a hundred meters away from the temporary headquarters.

"Is this a fish pond?" Su Yuanshan stopped, stood on the cement road by the lake and looked around - the industrial park is too large, and many of the planned areas are rural areas and fields. At this time, everything is visible at a glance field.

"It should be a fish pond in normal times, and a small reservoir when farming is busy." Zhou Xiaohui stood next to Su Yuanshan and took a closer look at the pond: "There may be fish in it. Do you want to find a fishing rod to catch a few?"

"what time is it now?"

"Ten past four." Zhou Xiaohui looked at her watch and said, "Mr. Duan and Mr. Jiang don't get off work until six o'clock, and they can still fish for nearly two hours."

"Forget it... I have to go to the trouble of finding a fishing rod, so let's just take a stroll around the area." Su Yuanshan said as he walked around the path towards the fields.

He got off the car at the lake temporarily, mainly because he wanted to relax, and he also wanted to talk to Zhou Xiaohui.

"Such a large piece of land requires the integration of five forces and twenty-eight factories, large and small...Sister Xiaohui, do you think Lao Duan is a talent?"

Su Yuanshan walked in front, and Zhou Xiaohui fell behind him.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled: "Didn't you praise him? I think Mr. Duan has a lot to learn from and is very capable."

Su Yuanshan's voice came: "Yes, he is one of the few talents who has transitioned from the technical field to the commercial field. He is rare in China today."

"But the integrated enterprise is driven by technology, so many people will... complain about Mr. Jiang, right?" Zhou Xiaohui stared at Su Yuanshan's back and said softly: "Those engineers today are obviously a little bit interested in that."

Su Yuanshan smiled: "Haha... they don't understand."

Zhou Xiaohui laughed.

Yes, others don't understand, but she understands.

And the most important thing is that Jiang Qingchuan and Duan Yongping also understand it - so these two people will cooperate with each other in the integration work.

In other companies, the position and the tasks undertaken can explain everything, but in Yuanxin, this is not the case.

In Yuanxin, there is a founder team and a "party position".

As Su Yuanshan's senior brother, Jiang Qingchuan's "party position" is not ordinary high...

What's more, since it is a factory with main technology, Jiang Qingchuan must be in charge of this factory from now on. Why should he fight?
