"Where are we going?" Several executives in Sony's president's office looked at Kazuo Hirai confusedly.

"I have to go anywhere." Kazuo Hirai had a stupid expression on this question.

"Then, where are you going?"

"I can only go nowhere."

Inside TSMC, Wei Zhejia reported helplessly, "Intel has started to put pressure on us again, this is really going to kill us!

Hey, it would be great if we could cooperate well. Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to make money together? It must be like this. "

"It is meaningless to say these things now. Have all the invitations for chip development and cooperation initiated by the two sides arrived?"

"It's all here, where are you going?"

"Find two people and tell me I'm sick."

"Understood."

On October 22, Meng Qian looked at the list of people arriving in Shanghai one after another and joked, "The bosses of global semiconductor companies fell ill in a large number at the same time, leaving a lot of room for future historians to manipulate."

"So we have to leave some real information for future generations."

"No matter how much information we leave behind, it's useless. When we die, we will have the final say on everything about us." Meng Qian sighed with emotion and waved his hand to signal this.

"How many people have arrived?"

"90% of them have already arrived in Shanghai."

"Let's take everyone for a stroll first."

"Um."

Although the official meeting will not be until October 28, but almost all of them will be there on October 22, because before the official meeting, we will show you around.

On October 22, representatives of many Chinese companies including Dafeng Group took everyone to visit the Shanghai Integrated Circuit Industrial Park to see this industrial park that is particularly meaningful to the development of Huaxia Semiconductor.

At this time, the Shanghai Integrated Circuit Industrial Park has been expanded for five phases, and more than 2,000 semiconductor companies have settled in.

Gale Group, HiSilicon, Tsinghua Unigroup, Vail, Smart Micro, Huada Semiconductor, ZTE Microelectronics, Goodix, Silan Micro and other well-known domestic semiconductor companies have R&D centers here.

Coincidentally, on October 22, a number of international research institutions released semiconductor data for the first three quarters of 2018.

Of course, this coincidence is obviously man-made, after all, when these institutions will release data, they will be notified in advance.

This has also become a hot topic among representatives of these enterprises in Shanghai IC Industrial Park.

"Hisilicon actually became the world's largest pure IC design company in the third quarter?"

"Hisilicon? In the first half of the year, I remember that HiSilicon was still No. 3. Isn't Broadcom and Qualcomm always occupying the No. 1 and No. 2 rankings of pure IC design companies?"

"Mobile phone brands like Huaxia basically used the chips of the Dafeng Group before, but since the rapid decline of Android, the Dafeng Group simply cannot supply such a large demand for Vientiane mobile phones.

HiSilicon seized this opportunity and began to provide chips for other companies. These mobile phone brands in Huaxia basically purchase chips from Dafeng and HiSilicon at the same time. In addition, Huawei has now become the world's highest-selling mobile phone. This is what HiSilicon can do. Climb to the first key bar. "

"And HiSilicon uses the Hongmeng architecture. For Huaxia brands, it is very smooth to replace the Hongmeng chip with the HiSilicon chip."

"Don't forget that Qualcomm's 7nm chip production was delayed by the policy of the United States before. At that time, Qualcomm really gave HiSilicon a huge opportunity."

"At that time, the United States could not have imagined that the overall development of China's chips would become like this in the past two years. It was really self-inflicted, otherwise Qualcomm should still be ahead of HiSilicon."

"To be honest, I can accept that Huawei climbed to the first place. It's just a matter of time, but how did this purple light climb to the second place?"

"Tsinghua Unigroup is almost tossing MediaTek to death, you don't know it?"

"What's going on? I'm really not sure."

"Us has almost no high-end chips, so you think it is difficult for Unisplendour to climb to the second place, but you don't know that Unisplendour has made the mid-to-low-end chips to the extreme.

Although the low-end chip market has low profits, the market is huge.

Tsinghua Unigroup and MediaTek are two companies that have focused on mid-to-low-end chips in the early days. Originally, the two companies were still in a dichotomy. Tsinghua Unigroup took advantage of the trend and quickly seized the market, and started a round of price war with MediaTek in the low-end chip market.

MediaTek lacks the support of a high-profit industry. How can it beat Unisplendour? A few years ago when Unigroup and MediaTek were divided into two worlds, one ranked fourth and the other ranked sixth in the low-end chip market. In the market, it is not surprising to climb to the second place. "

The "coincidentally" rankings made everyone pay more attention to HiSilicon and Unisplendour, and made everyone want to visit the corresponding R&D centers.

This time, Huaxia launched the World Chip Alliance and invited everyone to visit the Shanghai Integrated Circuit Industrial Park. One of the measures is to open up as much as possible, so that everyone can take a good look at the situation of this industrial park.

When everyone came to HiSilicon's R&D center in Shanghai IC Industrial Park, they first appreciated the development of HiSilicon, and then saw a sentence that Ren Zhengfei said in an interview recently.

"Huaxia already has the world's leading chip design capabilities."

Going forward, you can start to watch some of HiSilicon's current key research and development projects, and almost everyone is attracted by the same project: HiSilicon 3nm chips.

"Hisilicon is already attacking 3nm processors?" Someone asked unconsciously.

The HiSilicon employee who was in charge of the reception said, "According to the current development progress, our 3nm will be mass-produced and launched in early 2020."

"At the beginning of 2020, isn't it basically synchronized with Dafeng Semiconductor?" Everyone began to discuss in low voices.

"Qualcomm and Broadcom are still struggling with 5nm, right?"

"Some time ago they found TSMC as an OEM. 5nm should have broken through, but I remember Qualcomm's plan for 3nm is 2021?"

"At first it was 2021, and some time ago it became the second half of 2020."

"So, HiSilicon has not only surpassed Qualcomm in sales, but also surpassed Qualcomm in design capabilities."

"As Liang Mengsong said before, below 5nm is another structural breakthrough. If two companies in China start two 3nm processes at the same time, the mobile device market in the United States may really be out of play."

HiSilicon employees listened to everyone's conversation and said with a smile, "Our current equipment foundation and industrial foundation in Huaxia allow us to focus on R&D itself with confidence, and we have already reserved enough talents and technical experience. In the future, our HiSilicon Our goal is to surpass Gale Semiconductor and lead the development of global chips."

Many people can't help but feel a little dazed. They always feel that in the past few years, all chipmakers were targeting Intel and Qualcomm, but now, Huaxia has actually started a situation of two heroes competing for hegemony.

When everyone came out of Huawei, they almost subconsciously went to Ziguang, wanting to see what kind of plan Ziguang has now.

It's the same when entering Ziguang's R&D center. First, I looked at the development history, and then Ziguang also has a saying here: low price does not mean low end.

And Ziguang also has a project that has attracted everyone's attention, "T9000 processor, a 5G processor specially designed for 100-yuan 5G mobile phones."

An employee of Tsinghua Unigroup explained, "This processor will adopt the Gale 8nm process and support global 5G. The T9000 will help the market quickly expand the price line of 5G mobile phones, so that 100-yuan phones can also support 5G, and help 5G mobile phones become popular as soon as possible."

"When will this chip be mass-produced?"

"next year."

"That is to say, from 2019, the whole world will fully enter the era of 5G smartphones. From this perspective, this processor is of great significance."

"Motorola's 5G mobile phone is still skipping tickets, and China has begun to deploy low-cost 5G mobile phones. This is too outrageous."

"The ability to bring the 5G processor to this price point only shows that 5G technology and chip technology are highly mature in China."

"Qualcomm's low-cost 5G chips have to wait for two years." Someone suddenly said at this time.

It turned out that when everyone saw the strength of HiSilicon, they thought that they had colleagues visiting the United States, and many people inquired about the situation there.

Slowly, everyone will receive news from colleagues in the United States.

Through this kind of in-person understanding, everyone can further understand the gap between the two sides at this time. Many people looked at each other tacitly. Although everyone didn't say anything, they had already made some things clear in their hearts.
