Chapter 872

Speaking of HiSilicon, its predecessor can be traced back to Huawei's ASIC Design Center in 1991. Since its establishment, it has been one of Huawei's basic disks, and it is also Huawei's top priority in the layout of the entire electronics industry chain. a pawn.

Although in most people's minds, HiSilicon is the supplier of mobile phone chips to Huawei mobile phones, but in fact HiSilicon's business is not limited to mobile phone chips.

To be precise, Huawei HiSilicon provides chip solutions in the fields of digital home, communication and wireless terminals. In layman's terms, it means that mobile phone chips, mobile communication system equipment chips, transmission network equipment chips, home digital equipment chips, etc. are all made. Even in the field of security prevention and control, its market share has reached a terrifying 90% after ten years of operation.

Due to Warwick’s absolute holding of HiSilicon, it can basically be said that HiSilicon is Warwick, and Warwick is HiSilicon. There is me in you and you in me, and the two are inseparable.

If Xingkong technology is allowed to enter HiSilicon, it means that Warwick may lose its absolute control over HiSilicon.

This was unacceptable to Wang Zhengfei.

However……

For HiSilicon, the technology of Xingkong Technology is also indispensable.

Therefore, after listening to Lu Zhou's request, a trace of solemnity appeared on Wang Zhengfei's face, and he sat there without saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.

Lu Zhou was not in a hurry. After finishing his request, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea to moisten his dry throat.

At the same time, he also took advantage of this gap to observe Wang Zhengfei who had fallen into silence with interest, trying to see something from his face.

But unfortunately, this President Wang is a veteran of the mall after all, and Lu Zhou can't tell anything except that he doesn't speak because he fell asleep.

emmm...

Is it too much to ask yourself?

Although he and his senior sister got in touch with each other before coming here, and she helped advise on the shareholding ratio and technical cooperation method, but to be honest, Lu Zhou, who has no negotiation experience, can't tell if he came up Are you asking too much?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou murmured in his heart.

Judging by Mr. Wang's expression, this matter probably cannot be done.

If it doesn't work, Ziguang is also a suitable backup option. Although this company is mainly engaged in the supply of low-end chips, unlike HiSilicon, which is backed by Huawei, a giant located in the lower reaches of the industrial chain, it seems to be okay?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou opened his mouth.

"Why don't we leave this topic here first, Mr. Wang can go back and think about it before making an answer. Anyway, I didn't bring the contract with me today, so you must not be ready. The specific agreement still needs to be discussed in a more formal setting." it is good."

His shoulders loosened slightly, and this President Wang shook his head.

"no need."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou was slightly relieved.

Although no cooperation was reached, the negotiations were finally over.

To be honest, he really wasn't very good at these things.

The next negotiation with Tsinghua Unigroup should be handled by the senior sister.

"...There is no need to go back and think about it. The things that should be considered have already been considered. I believe in my own vision, and I also believe in Academician Lu's knowledge. I will definitely not disappoint me."

After that, Wang Zhengfei stood up, smiled and stretched out his right hand to Lu Zhou, and said solemnly, "...on behalf of the president of Huawei Group, I accept your proposal. I hope we can work together in the new era of carbon-based chips. , achieve greater glory!"

Lu Zhou: "...?"

This means...

agreed?

...

Although the intention of cooperation has been preliminarily reached, such a major event involving equity changes cannot be decided by Wang Zhengfei alone.

In particular, it is HiSilicon that Xingkong Technology intends to invest in technology, and HiSilicon is Huawei's basic disk. According to the usual practice, he will have to hold a board meeting after he returns to ask the opinions of other board members. Whether he can convince the board of directors to nod is still unknown.

Especially now because of the confidentiality treaty, many things cannot be put on the table.

He is still worrying about how to convince several other major shareholders in the company without disclosing the carbon-based chip technology.

Xingkong Technology can do without Warwick, they have many choices besides Warwick. But if Huawei wants to become the overlord of the electronics industry in the new era, Xingkong Technology is indispensable...

Until the beginning of dinner, Lu Zhou didn't come back to his senses.

He really couldn't figure out how he persuaded this Boss Wang.

No, it seemed that there was no part of persuasion at all. After hearing the conditions he proposed, the other party seemed to hesitate for a few minutes before making a decision.

Could it be...

Am I actually a business whiz delayed by math?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed and smiled.

If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't even realize that he was so awesome...

After dinner, Wang Zhengfei said goodbye to Lu Zhou, and got into the black car parked at the entrance of the hotel.

Sitting in the back row with Mr. Wang, the executive who came to Jinling with him couldn't help asking.

"...Boss, is it really appropriate for us to give them the absolute control of HiSilicon?"

The man sitting next to him is a very important executive in Huawei HiSilicon's management. He also participated in the closed-door meeting held in Beijing earlier.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to discuss this matter with him here.

Although he respects Mr. Wang very much, it has to be said that he is opposed to letting Xingkong Technology become a shareholder of HiSilicon. HiSilicon is the basic disk of Warwick, and no outsiders can be allowed to intervene.

What's more, the share that Xingkong Technology asks for is not small...

Glancing at the executive, Wang Zhengfei smiled and asked.

"At your HiSilicon, is there currently a project team engaged in the research and development of carbon-based chips?"

Wang Zhengfei's words made the executive fall into silence.

Although HiSilicon also has a research project on new semiconductor materials, it did not choose the direction of graphene for research, but chose molybdenum disulfide, which is now more optimistic in the international academic and industrial circles, as the research and development direction.

However, these studies are only for the purpose of not being left behind by foreign competitors and planning in this field in advance. In the case that many key issues have not been resolved, if we want to replace silicon as the main material of chips with materials such as molybdenum disulfide, I am afraid that we do not know how many decades we have to wait.

Although reluctant to admit it, the executive spoke with difficulty.

"……No."

Glancing at the embarrassed expression on the executive's face, Wang Zhengfei didn't blame him, but just smiled and said.

"That's it now."

Executive: "..."
