Chapter 314 ?6.2 million
A chip is made by a series of process steps like a pipeline.
nm is the distance between the transistors and transistors inside the chip. In the same space, the more transistors there are, the better performance, energy consumption and other aspects.
Although there is a lot of news in the industry at present, there are only one or two companies including Samsung, which have a standard 7nm production line in the true sense.
Standard processes often cover a wide range and the cost will be very high. In addition, embargoes, monopoly and other issues, so...
Lu An was a little confused, "There are only the initial smartphone chip design in the system lottery, and does it require such an advanced process as 7nm?"
The implication is that if the technology is too advanced, it will be difficult to continue domestic cooperation.
Lu An does not intend to cooperate with foreign manufacturers in the system. He also has the dream of a strong country.
It’s a country that is powerful in science and technology.
"You underestimate the system too much. The initial starting standard is 7nm. As for the process issue, you don't have to worry too much about domestic manufacturers."
As he spoke, Xiaomi gave Lu An a look of "You know what I mean".
It made Lu An want to catch the little puzzle and beat him up, but he dared to laugh at the host? This is wrong!
The meaning of the mystery is very simple. Before domestic manufacturers could not achieve it, it was because they did not have enough benefits. Now...
...
It is not complicated to be the top person in various industries in front of outsiders. As long as there is a little mystery, any excellent items given by the system can make Lu An understand it thoroughly in an instant.
Or...repeat thoroughly.
"So this time the chip design that needs to be drilled is sorted out and improved?" Lu An asked again.
Xiaomi snorted, "What do you think!"
"Tsk, I found that you always want to go to heaven, but you are still so young, it's not suitable!" Lu An seemed to smile.
Xiaomi blushed for no reason, blinked a few times, and stopped talking.
...
after.
Lu An called Mo Xuan, asked if Mo Xuan was in Mo's Manor, and rushed over.
"Brother An, what's the matter so anxious to find me?"
In the living room of the ancient castle of Mo Family Manor, Mo Xuan asked with a smile.
Lu An asked without hesitation.
"You have been in England for so many years, so you shouldn't just play with a viscount, right?"
"Just just talk about things, we don't need to be so tactful."
Mo Xuan said.
"How is the relationship in Cambridge, like arm."
Lu An picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said indifferently.
God knows that he was in a hurry just now, so he will be able to make up for it now. Sure enough, successful men are all drama masters.
Mo Xuan drank tea and asked in confusion, "Brother An, are you planning to make chips? Go to Arm to buy a design?"
"No, no, no, I heard that arm has a 7nm line. I want to borrow it and stream it." Lu An answered with a smile.
Mo Xuan thought about it, "If it's just a leak, there's no big problem."
"I need to keep it absolutely confidential. All information must be destroyed afterwards. Arm assumed that this happened. At the same time, I need to successfully cut the film as quickly as possible." Lu Anduo emphasized.
The implication is that arm must give up all the current flow process that happens to be in progress and instead complete the flow process for Lu An.
"No problem, I'll go to Cambridge Arm with you. My dad has some thin faces there." Mo Xuan answered affirmatively.
Lu An and Mo Xuan never say thank you. After all, the relationship between the two families has been very close since the past, so it is a bit too polite to say thank you.
...
After a simple cleaning, Lu An took Bai Nian and Bai Wenwen and followed Mo Xuan to Cambridge.
The straight-line distance between Cambridge and London is only about 100 kilometers. It is not very far to drive there, nor does it take a long time.
An hour later, Lu An and others had arrived in Cambridge City.
"Xiao Nian, Sister Wenwen, you go to Cambridge University with Xiao Jiu first, and I will come to find you later."
Before Lu An got off the car, he said to Bai Nian and Bai Wenwen.
The two women nodded, and Bai Wenwen replied with a smile, "You go and do your business. I will take Xiaonian to visit this institution and see the famous Kangqiao and Kanghe."
Cambridge and Cambridge are now translated as Cambridge and Sword River, both within the University of Cambridge.
...
Lu An got off the Audi a8lextended and got on Mo Xuan’s supercar in front.
More than ten minutes later, Lu An saw the huge light box font arm on the building in front.
The company, which was rumored to be acquired by SoftBank in Japan for 24.3 billion pounds in 2016, was listed on stock exchanges such as London and New York.
The price-to-earnings ratio is as high as 50%, which is an exaggerated profit ratio.
The relationship behind it is complicated, which is one of the main reasons why Lu An found Mo Xuan instead of coming alone.
After all, he is just a fledgling man, and he may be a little lacking in the power of capital. After all, as far as Apple behind Arm is concerned, Lu An can't do it.
"Brother An, I have made an appointment with Arm's ceo Simon, you can talk to him directly later. His words work very well in Arm."
The supercar drove straight into the car. Before getting off the parking lot, Mo Xuan told Lu An.
Lu An nodded and said nothing.
...
A few minutes later, Lu An and Mo Xuan walked up to the 16th floor of the building and led by Ceo Simon's assistant, they came to Simon's office.
Simon is a typical Westerner with the humor of Westerners, which can be seen by Lu An and Mo Xuan's greetings after entering the office.
"Look, our viscount is still so handsome."
Simon smiled and greeted Mo Xuan.
While walking out from behind the desk, he said, "It's rare to come over, have a cup of tea, a magical drink from the East."
"This must be Mr. Lu An, whom Viscount Mo mentioned to me?"
Lu An smiled, "Mr. Simon, I'm very happy to see you."
... On the reception sofa, Simon brewed a cup of tea with great interest, and carefully put the tea leaves and boiling water.
"Mr. Lu An, come from China afar. I can help you with anything. If you want to acquire my arm, I can only apologize. I am willing, and our directors will not."
Simon has a very humorous sense, and Westerners always make false and inappropriate when they are serious.
Lu An and Mo Xuan both smiled, and Lu An spread his hands, "I also want to buy it, but I don't have enough change, so I can only give up helplessly."
Simon laughed, "Mr. Lu An, why not tell me what you are here for."
Lu An took out a U disk from his briefcase without hesitation and said, "There is a chip chip requirement here. I hope that arm can help me stream the chips and use a 7nm production line, the faster the better."
Simon paused the movements in his hand, and then handed Mo Xuan and Lu An a cup of tea each. "The 7nm production line is very busy and it is difficult to coordinate the time."
"However, with Viscount Mo, it's not a problem. I agree to this request and will arrange for employees to commit suicide."
Simon glanced at Lu An and said, "Don't worry, our arm's confidentiality rules are very strict!"
Simon was able to take over the previous CECO to take charge of the arm, of course helm. After opening his mouth, he suggested that it would require a 7nm production line for slitting. If you don’t ask, it is absolutely necessary to keep it confidential!
He was not concerned about Lu An's purpose of keeping secrets. Mo Xuan said on behalf of the Mo family, and he didn't have much choice.
Lu An stood up and stretched out his hand, and smiled, "Mr. Simon, happy cooperation."
“Happy cooperation!”
The two hands were shaking and the cooperation was reached.
In order to proceed smoothly, Lu An had to pay a terrifying price of 6.2 million pounds. You should know that this is just the price of a single leak!
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone.
