Chapter 34 Academician Wu is in a mess
So that’s it,
After listening to Wu Lihong’s words, Wang Haowen suddenly realized.
That’s right,
If it were me, I would definitely want to find out when I heard the term domestic graphics card.
For a person engaged in semiconductor research, this is like a cat smelling blood, and I can’t resist this temptation.
In fact, Wang Haowen has been in this state of torment for the past few days. He can’t wait to see what secrets are hidden in this graphics card? Who is the manufacturer behind it?
Wang Haowen walked to a device, took out the graphics card inside and handed it to Wu Lihong.
”This is it. In fact, I don’t know who made it… The other party only said it was a trade secret.”
Wu Lihong nodded, took the graphics card and took a closer look, and immediately had the same doubts as Wang Haowen at the beginning.
Normally, even the smallest capacitor will have certain markings on it. For some senior practitioners, a string of numbers alone may be enough to tell where it is produced.
But there is not even a single marking on this graphics card.
In addition to good confidentiality, Wu Lihong could not think of any other reasons…
It is impossible that every part is made by himself, right? Without obtaining any valid information, Wu Lihong returned the graphics card to Wang Haowen, asking him to continue the experiment and hoping that he would give him a copy of the results after preliminary testing.
”The results are out!”
At about lunchtime, Wang Haowen knocked on the door of Wu Lihong’s office, walked in and handed the test report to Wu Lihong’s desk.
“28 nanometer process, 980MHz main frequency, 4GB DDR5 video memory, consistent with the information I got before, and we found that the design process and video memory particles of this graphics card GPU are somewhat different from the graphics card models we currently know, so we can preliminarily rule out the possibility of assembly and OEM.”
Wu Lihong’s eyebrows jumped after hearing this, and he picked up the report and read it carefully.
After a while, he put down the report with a puzzled look on his face and asked Wang Haowen: “Who is the person in charge of contacting you?”
”Kang Chi.” Wang Haowen scratched his head, “You may not believe it, he is the boss of Longteng Technology that I mentioned to you last time.”
”Longteng Technology?”
”Yes, you may have forgotten that he wanted to use our equipment to make a 2D accelerator card at that time.”
Wu Lihong immediately remembered it after being reminded by Wang Haowen.
“What happened next?”
”I just ignored it, but about half a month ago, he suddenly came to your house and said he wanted to see you. He was stopped by the security guard at the door. It happened that I was on duty that day…”
”Later, I introduced him to an undergraduate classmate of mine. Later, I called my classmate and found out that Kang Chi had indeed made a 2D accelerator card for him.”
”Then a few days ago, he suddenly contacted me and hoped that I could modify a driver for this graphics card to make it run.”
After listening to Wang Haowen’s story, Wu Lihong’s doubts did not decrease, but increased.
“Is there any connection between that 2D accelerator card and the current graphics card?”
”Probably not?” Wang Haowen hesitated, “I have seen the design of that 2D accelerator card, it is ordinary, they are not from the same era at all.”
Wu Lihong nodded, then said to himself while thinking:
”28 nanometers, 980MHz main frequency, 4GB DDR5 video memory…”
After a while, he raised his head and said to Wang Haowen: “Okay, you conduct the experiment according to the plan first, and notify me when the graphics card can run.”
”Okay!”
Wang Haowen turned around and prepared to leave, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and turned back to Wu Lihong and said: “By the way, that Kangchi and Longteng Technology can also be searched on the Internet. They had a fight with Suoni some time ago, and it was quite popular.”
”Fought with Suoni?”
”Yes, Longteng Technology is a lens manufacturer.”
”Making lenses?”
Wu Lihong felt that his thoughts were even more confused.
What does this have to do with that?
Wait.
Let me sort out my thoughts.
A company that manufactures lenses suddenly wants to cooperate with our research institute to make a 2D accelerator card,After hitting a wall here, they went to find an electronics factory and successfully made a 2D accelerator card. Finally, they suddenly took out a serious graphics card?
Playing horror games?
In Wu Lihong’s impression, the only company in China that could make such a graphics card is Jingjiawei.
But they are a military enterprise, how could they let such a thing appear here? Well…
There is also Changan Microelectronics Technology Research Institute.
They may also make it, but they are also a military enterprise, specializing in the production of chips for the aerospace industry, so they are not considered.
As for the civilian field…
If you have to say, they are also possible in SMIC and Huahong Group.
SMIC is needless to say, he is the vice president of technology research and development, and he must not be unaware of the company’s GPU project.
As for Huahong Group?
CPU is not even finished yet, and they are starting to study graphics cards again?
It doesn’t feel realistic.
Besides, it’s impossible that he didn’t hear any news about such important news.
Besides, both SMIC and Huahong Group are stronger than the Microelectronics Research Institute of Suzhou University, and their equipment is more advanced.
If this graphics card is really made by them, why do they have to find Wang Haowen? Or is it that this is customized by a domestic company and manufactured by a foreign manufacturer?
Who is this Kang Chi? No, my thoughts are even more confused…
Wu Lihong suddenly felt that he was getting old? —— Time flies like an arrow.
Time soon came to the last day of December. Tomorrow is New Year’s Day, and a brand new year is about to begin.
However, the Chinese people’s feelings for New Year’s Day are far less than those for New Year’s Eve.
It’s like a person who has celebrated his birthday on the lunar calendar since childhood, and received birthday wishes from major APPs on his birthday on the Gregorian calendar. It’s not painful,
No feeling.
However, the atmosphere in Longteng Technology’s conference room was particularly warm.
Since Kang Chi built the second lens production line, he has become a hands-off boss. Fang Qiming hasn’t seen Kang Chi for almost half a month. He doesn’t know what this boss who is elusive is busy with recently. He only knows from the finance department that Kang Chi bought a car and paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan for the development of a driver program. He doesn’t know what the specific driver is.
As usual, Kang Chi showed up on time at the end-of-month summary meeting. Everyone had to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a good work report.
29,000 lenses, 5.24 million in turnover, and 2.464 million in net profit.
This is the report submitted by Daqin Optics in December.
”In general, the production and sales this month are all normal. It’s just that after adding a production line, the production capacity can’t keep up, and the backlog of orders is still very serious.”
Fang Qiming, standing in the middle of the conference room, finished his report with a high spirit.
Warm applause suddenly broke out from below.
”Well done.”
Kang Chi also nodded to Fang Qiming with satisfaction, which calmed his slightly uneasy heart.
Since becoming the head of Daqin Optics, Fang Qiming has become a powerful figure in the company, managing more than 50 people.
Isn’t this better than being a cameraman in a film crew?
Small film crews may not have so many people.
In addition to power, after the second production line was put into production, Kang Chi gave him another salary increase, raising it to 15,000 per month, which is also the highest in the company.
Therefore, Fang Qiming worked hard to help Kang Chi run the factory in an orderly manner.
Kang Chi did not allow him to work overtime, so he went back to study management and lens design, and often discussed problems with several technicians in the factory in private.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Qiming finally mustered up the courage to take out his hard work during this period:
A lens designed by him personally!
