Chapter 727

Originally, Jiang Chen planned to buy these two studios directly, but there was a little accident during the acquisition process.

Maxis is okay to say, EA, which destroys games and never tires, claims to be second only to Microsoft's studio killer. The huge maxis series studios have been chopped down again and again. Future People Technology is willing to acquire the studio they are planning to swing their knives at. Naturally, they are very happy, and they are very happy to use the maxis series studios to be in charge of SimCity at a premium of 20 million U.S. dollars. The development studio was packaged and sold to Jiang Chen.

But r star is a bit troublesome.

The parent company of r-star is take-two, and its business is in good condition. The "gta6: Return to Liberty City" launched in June 2017 continued the glory of "gta5", expanding the map from the entire California to the entire New York plus a Europe City, the map area is more than twice that of the front seat, easily creating a miracle of sales of 40 million copies on all platforms.

Such a cash cow, of course take-two would not sell it foolishly.

That being the case, Future Human Technology has no choice but to take the next step and directly poach people.

The international headhunting company hired by Jiang Chen provided him with a list, which included the names of 27 people including the planning, script, and chief designer of R Star Studio, as well as their personal information, income, and debts. After getting the list, Jiang Chen simply swiped his pen and increased their monthly salary by 50%, and then typed back the list, letting the employed headhunting company scoop people according to this standard.

Regarding the specific matters concerning the formation of the vrcity project department, Jiang Chen handed it over to Ning Huajian. He is an expert in this area. Although he is a leader in virtual reality, he definitely doesn't understand the market better than a CEO who started from the grassroots.

After finishing the matter at hand, Jiang Chen saw that it was still early to get off work, so he stopped by the materials science laboratory to inspect the research progress of the next laboratory.

After breaking through the graphene problem, the Materials Science Laboratory has recently recruited a group of researchers and established two new project departments to conduct research on the two research directions of graphene cables and graphene chips.

The former is aimed at space elevators, and the latter serves the electronics industry of Future Heavy Industries.

Some time ago, the new supercomputing top500 list announced at the International Supercomputing Conference (isc) in Frankfurt, Germany, "Tianhe-3", a key project of the Huaguo National 863 Program and developed by the National Parallel Computer Engineering Technology Research Center, followed the "Tianhe-3" After the "Sunway-Light of Taihu Lake", it once again topped the top500 list.

Unlike previous years, with the use of the Dragoon x1 supercomputing chip, Huaguo not only took the top spot in the supercomputing list, but also directly swept the top five! This Coke spoiled the comprador of the Huaguo Computer Engineering Technology Research Center,

He quickly added an order of 100,000 yuan per month to Future Heavy Industry, increasing the monthly import volume to 200,000 yuan.

According to this trend, Chaoying catch up with the United States is just around the corner!

Huaguo Supercomputer’s “dominance” has also frightened the United States. Although Intel has also launched a new supercomputer chip based on graphene materials, compared with Future Heavy Industry’s Dragoon X1, the gap is still more than a little bit.

In desperation, the U.S. Department of Defense selectively purchased 50,000 supercomputing chips to upgrade the performance of the DoD’s supercomputers, despite its intention to support local manufacturers such as Intel and Qualcomm. However, the deal was not negotiated in the end, because Future Group refused to fully disclose the technical details of the lix architecture, which is an intolerable security risk for the Pentagon.

Unless Futureman Heavy Industry is a local company in the United States, they still can't rest assured about it.

However, those private supercomputing centers don't have so many concerns. In the market economy environment, the survival of the fittest is vividly reflected. For example, Google, after seeing the powerful functions of the Dragoon X1 chip, directly threw an order of 60,000 chips per month to Future Heavy Industries to upgrade its servers located all over the United States.

After seeing the strength of Future Heavy Industry in the field of chip manufacturing, Google simply gave up its plan to enter the chip manufacturing industry.

Businessmen are profit-seeking.

Google consumes more than 300,000 chips per quarter. If it adopts the Dragoon x1 model, it will be able to reduce the number of servers by at least 10% while maintaining the current business. Although the wholesale price offered to them by Future Heavy Industry is US$347 per chip, 60,000 chips per month is an expenditure of US$20.82 million. But from the perspective of overall cost, choosing Dragoon x1 can save them at least 200 million U.S. dollars a year.

They have lost the incentive to develop their own chips.

Not only Google, but also Hewlett-Packard and Dell, the No. 1 and No. 2 server chip purchase customers in the United States, have also developed a strong interest in Future Heavy Industry's Dragoon x1.

At present, the monthly shipment of Dragoon X1 supercomputing chips produced by Future Heavy Industry has reached a terrifying figure of 500,000 pieces, of which 200,000 go to China, 100,000 go to supercomputing centers in small countries such as Switzerland in Europe, and the rest The next 200,000 is the United States.

It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, the fighting on the top500 list of the International Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt, Germany will be extremely tragic. Whoever uses dragoons in their supercomputing center will dominate the list. If the top ten computers on the list all use dragoons, then it can only be compared who has more dragoons and who is more proficient in using them.

Unless the quantum computer of Star Ring Trade is made public, it may be difficult to end this situation.

In view of the fact that the major supercomputing centers are inextricably linked, Graphene Lab is starting to develop the Dragoon X2 chip, intending to use this to collect money.

Want to get stronger? Want to rant about national pride on the news? Then come and buy Dragoon x2...

Jiang Chen even thought out the advertisement words.

...

Future Heavy Industries has finally completed the registration of the lix architecture in various countries, and has registered patents for each instruction set. After getting the news, Loongson Zhongke couldn't wait to come to the door immediately, obtained the authorization of the lix architecture from Jiang Chen, and prepared to start independent research and development of supercomputing chips based on the lix architecture.

This was agreed upon when the chip was first sold, so Jiang Chen readily signed it. The global unified price of the patent fee, using the lix architecture chip, 10% of the selling price is used as the patent fee. Although this figure is twice as high as Qualcomm's 5%, Qualcomm is billing for the whole piece, while Future Heavy Industry is very conscientious and only bills for a single piece.

(Qualcomm model: only produce chips, if the chip is only sold for 10 US dollars, the chip is used in the mobile phone, and the mobile phone is finally sold for 600 US dollars, then you need to pay 5% of the entire mobile phone as a patent fee)

However, Jiang Chen noticed that Mr. Wu Weiwen, the president of Loongson Zhongke who came to sign the patent agreement, did not look particularly happy.

"Does Mr. Wu have any questions?" Jiang Chen asked happily.

Wu Weiwen shook his head.

"No problem, I just think Mr. Jiang is a good guy."

"I don't quite understand what you mean, can you talk to me carefully?" Jiang Chen smiled.

Wu Weiwen smiled, did not speak, and walked away with the licensing agreement of the lix architecture.

Jiang Chen noticed that his back seemed much older than when he came here.

Loongson Zhongke is a state-owned enterprise and enjoys financial subsidies in business operations. In theory, Wu Wenwei, the president, does not need to worry about performance. Even if he can't sell a single chip in a year or two, the company absolutely doesn't have to worry about going bankrupt.

To be honest, when Jiang Chen agreed to him and authorized the lix architecture to Godson Zhongke, he could clearly feel the care for Godson Zhongke from above.

However, when the first batch of Dragoons x1 was delivered to the four major supercomputing centers, and the researchers at the supercomputing centers cheered loudly, Wu Wenwei could clearly feel that the eyes of the leader standing next to him suddenly changed.

Especially after taking over the top five on the supercomputer list.

The leaders in charge of the key projects of the 863 plan were almost collectively promoted, and the project leader was even praised by the chairman.

This is a great honor!

Whether it is an individual, a country, or a nation.

It is precisely because of this that this honor cannot be let go.

Sure enough, as Wu Weiwen expected, the leader in charge of the supercomputing project contacted Future Heavy Industry immediately after receiving the award, and added an additional purchase order. High-tech stuff is like poison, once it is opened, it cannot be stopped.

You won the top five this year, are you ashamed to lose this ranking next year? Do you still want political achievements?

What if you don't want to lose it?

You can only buy Dragoon x1. When those old scholars come up with their research results, when will they have to wait.

At a wine table, Wu Weiwen was deeply disturbed by a sentence from the leader above.

"You can't always stick to that set of protectionism. There is no market, so where is the competitiveness? This future group is also a child who came out of our Huaguo. Instead of filling this bottomless pit with no effort, it is better to use their technology Bringing in, how can we say that we are also a family, right?..."

This idea is dangerous.

Very very dangerous.

However, Wu Wenwei also knows that, as the president of a state-owned enterprise, he is powerless to change this.

Things that can be solved by spending money are nothing serious, but some things are destined not to be solved by spending money.

Unless he can defeat the Dragon Cavalry x1 and take out a supercomputing chip that ranks among the top in the world...

But is it possible?

In the future, Renhe has occupied the commanding heights of the market and has become a standard setter. With its technological advantages, it will take over most of the orders in the entire market. With the benefits obtained from these orders, and then continuously investing these funds in research and development projects, their technology can only become stronger and more unattainable.

At that time, even Intel and arm companies will have to learn from the instruction set of the lix architecture to enrich their own x86 architecture and arm architecture, and pay patent fees for future technology that owns the intellectual property rights of the lix architecture.

The strong will always be strong, this is the market.

Before the emergence of disruptive products, the giants that have already occupied a high point have no possibility of being stumbled. It is foreseeable that even if he has obtained the authorization of the lix architecture now, at least in the next ten years, they will absolutely be inseparable from the chips of the Future Group.
