The phenomenon of cultural invasion is actually very serious.

It's just a pity that most of them were invaded by foreign cultures before.

For example, Neon Kingdom animation, Bangzi Kingdom Korean drama, American Marvel, etc.

Now that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Nirvana in Fire" have finally come out, a wave of cultural counter-invasion is also rare.

"By the way, Chairman, with the popularity of "Nirvana in Fire" on the overseas version of Douyin, Netflix contacted us and wanted to buy the overseas copyright of "Nirvana in Fire"!"

Jian Ziyan remembered this and took out a piece of mail and handed it over.

"As expected, Netflix is ​​here again!" Wang Yi expected it.

Netflix has always been wealthy and not picky about food. As long as the drama is well-known and popular, people will buy it like crazy.

It’s okay for a user not to watch it, but I can’t live without it!

"Yes, as long as the price is right, overseas copyrights can be distributed to them. By the way, are they interested in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? If so, we will sell it together!" Wang Yida said.

If you sell one more movie and earn an extra 200 million, Wang Yi will not refuse Naifei to give him money.

"Okay, Chairman."

"By the way, there is also H.265 encoding. If Netflix is ​​interested, you can also authorize them to use it, as long as the money is paid." Wang Yi thought of this.

The H.265 encoding launched by Xingyi Video saves half the bandwidth, is clearer, and buffers faster, completely crushing H.264.

But unfortunately, currently only Xingyi Video uses it for itself, and other vendors still use H.264.

After all, the licensing fee for H.264 is only US$6.5 million, while the licensing fee for H.265 is much higher.

It is a new technology, and many people are skeptical and are too lazy to buy it.

Wang Yi was helpless about this.

Several major domestic merchants are all competitors of Xingyi Video, and they are reluctant to spend the money, so naturally they are too lazy to buy it.

If Wang Yi wants to open a breakthrough, he should start with overseas giants.

Nephi and Facebook are the best targets.

"Okay, Chairman, I will contact Naifei right now."

In the afternoon, Zhu Changlin came back from Xingyi Semiconductor and immediately approached Wang Yi:

"Chairman, the current yield rate of our 40-nanometer process has reached 81%. Mr. Hu has led people to do some optimization and is going to test it again in two days!"

"81%!" Wang Yi was overjoyed: "Very good, this yield rate is not low. In this case, you inform the semiconductor department and Mr. Hu to hold a video conference in half an hour!"

"Okay, Chairman."

Half an hour later, Wang Yi came to the semiconductor department and held a video conference with Xingyi Wafer Factory:

"This year, our biggest project is Xingyi Semiconductor. It is the 40nm process of the wafer factory, the research and development of Kunpeng 702 series chips, and the research and development of baseband."

"So far, the research and development designs of Kunpeng 702, Kunpeng 700, and 3G baseband Wing Loong 3000 have been completed."

"The Xingyi wafer fab is also making rapid progress, and the yield rate of the 40nm process has reached 81%!"

"Congratulations!"

“Lao Hu’s team deserves the most credit!”

"Wow!" The entire semiconductor department applauded.

The research and development of chip technology is much more difficult than chip design.

It is precisely for this reason that there are many IC design companies in the world, but only a few foundries.

In its previous life, when Foxconn was expanding its business and achieving diversification, it wanted to invest in building a 28-nanometer wafer fab in Asan.

But unfortunately, after a period of research and development, Foxconn found that the chip process was too difficult. They couldn't use 28nm technology, or even 40nm process technology, and had to rely on technology authorization from other companies.

This was still many years later.

Now, the 40nm process is considered relatively advanced, second only to the most advanced 28nm and the less advanced 32nm.

Mr. Hu's team can achieve a yield rate of 81%, which is considered a great success.

Mr. Hu smiled and said: "Thank you for your encouragement. I originally planned to tell you the results after re-testing in two days to see if I can achieve a yield rate of 85%."

Wang Yi was dumbfounded. At Mr. Hu's level, he felt that a yield rate of 81% was not considered a success, but a yield rate of 85% was considered a pass, so he didn't mention it at all!

But for a new wafer fab, 81% is considered very successful, and it will not be a big problem if it is subsequently increased to 85%.

Wang Yi said with a smile: "In that case, the tests in the next two days will be conducted with Kunpeng 702, Kunpeng 700, and Pterosaur 3000. These three chips can be considered tape-out!"

Tape-out is also trial production, and generally we don’t produce too much. After all, we don’t know whether it will be successful.

Therefore, different chips can be assembled on one substrate, and multiple chips can be taped out together, thereby saving costs.

For example, under the 40nm process, one tapeout costs 5 million yuan.

Those three chips are taped out together, and the cost of each tape-out is less than 2 million, which greatly reduces the cost.

Coupled with our own wafer fab, the cost is even lower.

After all, if you look for TSMC current chips, TSMC has to make money.

Moreover, Xingyi Wafer Factory also needs to trial production to improve the yield rate of the 40nm process.

In this way, the tape-out and process trial production of the three chips can be combined into one, which is also a good thing.

The reason why it was not done this way before was because the yield rate was low before.

In case of failure, it is unclear whether it is a problem with the 40nm process of the wafer factory or a problem with the chip design.

Nowadays, the yield rate of 40nm process has reached 81%, and there is no big problem anymore.

If all the chips produced cannot light up, then it is a problem with the chip design.

After all, the yield rate of 81% is already considered very good.

Mr. Hu nodded: "No problem, there is no problem at the fab."

Wang Yi looked at Williams and Pang Liguo.

"I have no problem here."

"The baseband is no problem either."

The two said.

"Okay then, you immediately mobilize your elite personnel and go to Xingyi Wafer Fab to prepare for the tape-out. There is no rush in terms of time. You may not have to be stuck in two days. Be prepared before proceeding!"

"Okay, Chairman!" Several people responded one after another.

To be honest, Wang Yi was a little nervous.

The last tapeout was for router chips and fast charging chips. They were small chips with a high success rate. Wang Yi was not worried about failure.

But this time it's different.

This is a mobile phone chip!

Or a mobile phone chip with integrated baseband!

Once developed, it will be the first in the country and the first in the world to integrate a baseband chip.

Even Qualcomm's APQ 8064 does not have an integrated baseband, so we have to wait until next year's Snapdragon 800!

Wang Yi said he was not worried, which was all lies.

And it is produced in its own wafer factory.

But even so, Wang Yi still had to let everyone relax and get ready before starting again.

On that day, all relevant elites from Xingyi Semiconductor gathered and went straight to the Xingyi Wafer Factory in the suburbs.

Not only did Williams go, but the two R&D managers, George and Zhang Chao, also went.

At this critical moment, they will personally watch.

He also brought many key members with him.

However, Wang Yi did not go there in person.

It needs to be verified first, and then taped out for trial production, which takes several days.

Wang Yi has a lot to do, but he doesn’t have time to spend all his time in the fab.

However, due to the tape-out, I was originally planning to go on a business trip to Daocheng Xingyi TV headquarters, but it was changed to a video conference.

Xingyi TV CEO Xu Mingyi, CTO Tu Hongyun and other senior executives all attended the meeting.

Wang Yi was the first to speak: "There is only one topic today, which is to expand the factory and increase production capacity!"

"Currently, we have Xingyi TV Industrial Park in Daocheng and Xingyi TV Industrial Park in Shenzhen. Once the industrial park in Daocheng is completed and mass-produced, domestic TV demand can be fully met. And it can radiate to surrounding countries.

country."

"But overseas demand is very problematic."

"If we all choose domestic production and transport overseas, transportation costs, risks in transit, and timeliness are all big problems, as well as tariff issues."
