From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 220 The chip market is about to change
Xiaxin International's movements are fast, and Ye Fei's movements are also fast.

After Qu Guangfu, chairman of Xiaxin International, finished talking with Ye Fei that day, Qu Guangfu sent someone to discuss cooperation with Ye Fei the next day.

Ye Fei asked people from Yuan Blockchain Research Institute to discuss cooperation with people from Xiaxin International.

After half a month of negotiations.

It was finally determined that Ye Fei's research would be taken out from Xiaxin International alone, with Xiaxin International accounting for [-]% of the shares and Ye Fei Science Research Institute accounting for [-]% of the shares.

And all the costs of R&D, operation, and sales of the chip are all invested by Xiaxin International.

Of course, the directors of Xiaxin International are not satisfied with this plan.

What they wanted was to give Ye Fei billions of dollars to help him develop the chip.

Instead of letting Ye Fei take the shares.

After all, that's a chip.

If the chip Ye Fei mentioned is developed, it will completely rewrite the chip market and earn more than 700 billion U.S. dollars a year.

And if the Ye Fei Institute of Science takes 200% of the shares, it will take away more than [-] billion US dollars every year.

One-time billions and more than 200 billion US dollars per year.

In this account, anyone can figure out which is more cost-effective.

Qu Guangfu is a person with a big picture. He said at the board meeting: "Now it's not that Ye Fei asks us, but we ask Ye Fei."

"The market is on Ye Fei's side, we don't have to agree, but Ye Fei can also help other chip companies."

"You have to know that there is not only Xiaxin International, a chip company in Xiaguo, but also many other chip companies."

"At that time, Ye Fei will still be able to obtain so many benefits, and we will lose at least 500 billion US dollars every year."

Xiaxin International's annual net profit is now more than 100 billion US dollars.

Hearing Qu Guangfu's words, all the directors shuddered and said, "Yes, the market is on Ye Fei's side. We don't agree to Ye Fei, but Ye Fei can also agree to other companies."

"The loss of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars and the loss of more than 500 billion U.S. dollars every year, this account can be known without looking at it, how should we choose."

In the end, the board agreed to Ye Fei's request.

Ye Fei was very satisfied with this condition.

In fact, at his current status, it doesn't matter if he has money or not.

After all, he is not short of money.

However, money can mean many things.

For example, the recognition of his personal value.

On November 2029, 11, Ye Fei's 15th birthday, Xiaxin International and Ye Fei Institute of Science jointly issued a statement.

Xiaxin International: [Welcome Academician Ye Fei to become the chief scientist of Xiaxin International. 】

Ye Fei Institute of Science: [Congratulations to Academician Ye Fei for becoming the chief scientist of Xiaxin International. 】

When these two news were released, the world was in an uproar.

They know that Ye Fei's becoming the chief scientist of Xiaxin International is not just the chief scientist, and the meaning of it is understood by fools.

It must be Ye Fei who wants to develop chips.

Many reporters flocked to Xiaxin International and Yuan Blockchain Research Institute like cats smelling fishy.

Yuan Blockchain Research Institute!
In the evening, Ye Fei came out of the Yuan Blockchain Research Institute and was about to walk home.

Yuan Blockchain Research Institute is only ten minutes away from his home, and Ye Fei almost always walks to and from get off work.

While walking, he can also think about research.

Ye Fei walked home slowly, thinking: "Snevily conjectures, the research is set theory, graph theory and number theory."

"It is one of the fastest-growing fields in the combinatorics of extreme value set theory, one of the core researches in graph theory, and one of the most cutting-edge researches in number theory."

"I don't have any problems with set theory, and I don't have much problem with number theory, but there are still some shortcomings in graph theory."

Ye Fei has been studying set theory since he was a graduate student, and many world problems in set theory were proved by Ye Fei.

As for number theory, Ye Fei has been studying it since he graduated with a Ph.

Only graph theory, his research time is not very long.

"The next step is to study graph theory."

When Ye Fei just walked out of the gate of the research institute, a group of reporters suddenly surrounded him.

"Academician Ye Fei, are you joining Xiaxin International to develop chips?"

"Academician Ye Fei, what kind of chip do you want to develop?"

"Academician Ye Fei, when will your chip be developed?"

"Academician Ye Fei, can you tell me?"

"Academician Ye Fei..."

The security guard at the gate saw Ye Fei being surrounded by reporters, and hurried forward to stop them.

Ye Fei quickly broke free from the crowd, and then ran into the Yuan Blockchain Research Institute.

The security guards firmly blocked the reporter outside the Yuan Blockchain Research Institute.

Looking at the reporters who were blocked outside the gate, Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

He shook his head and said helplessly, "These reporters are really..."

After speaking, Ye Fei went home through the back door.

Magic City, Xiaxin International, Chairman's Office!

"Director Qu!" The assistant came in from the outside and said, "There are a group of reporters outside the company, and they want to interview you."

When Qu Guangfu, who was signing the contract, heard this, he stopped writing, looked up at the assistant, and frowned slightly.

Seeing Qu Guangfu frown, the assistant quickly asked, "Should we drive them out?"

Qu Guangfu thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the phone and called Ye Fei, saying: "Academician Ye, you have become the chief scientist of Xiaxin Country. There is a lot of commotion outside. Do we want to hold a press conference?"

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Qu Guangfu said to his assistant, "You told those reporters that a press conference will be held in the company's southeast conference hall at two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Director Qu!"

The assistant left after speaking.

The day after tomorrow!

Ye Fei drove to Shanghai after eleven o'clock and had lunch in the service area.

Arrive at Xiaxin International at around 01:30 in the afternoon.

"Academician Ye!" Qu Guangfu led a group of people to welcome Ye Fei: "Hello!"

Many people looked at Ye Fei curiously, it was the first time they saw Ye Fei in reality.

Ye Fei shook hands with Qu Guangfu with a smile, and said, "Hello, Director Qu!"

"Let's go!" Qu Guangfu said, "The reporter has already arrived."

"En!" Ye Fei nodded.

At the moment, there are many reporters sitting in the southeast conference room of Xiaxin International.

The fact that Ye Fei became the chief scientist of Xiaxin International was so shocking that countless people seemed to smell the smell before the storm.

A reporter from England said to his companions: "Judging from Ye Fei's past development history, Ye Fei will definitely be able to develop a chip that shocks the world when he joins Xiaxin International."

"At that time, Beili Country will not be able to sit still."

"Chips have always been the cake of Beili Country. If anyone dares to touch their cake, Beili Country will do their best."

The companion nodded and said: "Yes, I think Beili Country can't sit still at this moment."

"I don't know what chip Ye Fei can develop!"

Not only the two were talking, but many people present were talking about it.

Soon, Ye Fei and others walked into the lecture hall and sat on the stage.

Qu Guangfu said: "My friends from the press, good afternoon, everyone, I am very glad that you are here to attend today's press briefing."

"I know you are all concerned about the fact that Academician Ye Fei became the chief scientist of Xiaxin International."

"Xiaxin International has always adhered to..."

Qu Guangfu spoke eloquently.

"Next, I invite Academician Ye Fei to speak."

Ye Feidao: "I am very happy to be the chief scientist of Xiaxin International. I will lead the team of Xiaxin International to study chips."

As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, the reporters below all exclaimed.

Ye Fei really wants to develop chips!
Ye Feidao: "Regarding chip research, my idea is to give up silicon-based chips and switch to carbon-based chips."

"Xia Guo wants to catch up with the international level in terms of chips, so he must change lanes and overtake instead of turning around."

"In terms of carbon-based chips, my country has two major advantages that no other country has."

"[-]. Have the highest purity graphene in the world!"

"Second, the only country that can mass-produce carbon nanotubes!"

"As we all know, to manufacture carbon-based chips, you must have high-purity graphene and carbon nanotubes."

"Otherwise, carbon-based chips cannot be made."

"So, on the track of carbon-based chips, Xia Guo is the only one that can enter."

"Moreover, the development space of carbon-based chips is much better than that of silicon-based chips."

"Silicon-based chips can only manufacture nano-scale chips, while carbon-based chips can not only manufacture nano-scale chips, but also angstrom-scale chips."

"The future is the era of quantum computers. Quantum computers must have angstrom-level chips, otherwise quantum computers cannot be manufactured."

"Because of the above, I decided to develop carbon-based chips."

As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, many reporters below were discussing.

The CCTV reporter said to his companions: "Ye Fei is right, my country is the only country that is qualified to develop carbon-based chips."

"And, on silicon-based chips, our country cannot catch up with the international level."

"Then, only by changing lanes and overtaking can our country catch up with the international level."

The companion nodded and said: "That's right, and, from a long-term perspective, it is much better to use carbon-based chips than silicon-based chips."

The CCTV reporter nodded and said, "Yes!"

The reporter from Beili country panicked and said to his companions: "A major event is about to happen. Ye Fei advocates the development of carbon-based chips. Except for Xia, there is no country in the world that has the conditions to develop carbon-based chips."

"If he is allowed to develop it, something big will happen."

The companion rubbed his forehead in cold sweat, and said: "Who would have thought that this would happen, we always thought that Xia would develop silicon-based chips to catch up with us."

"But now Xia Guo doesn't play with us anymore, he's going to change lanes."

The English reporter smiled at his companions: "Now some people are playing around. Xia Guo is not developing silicon-based chips, but carbon-based chips."

"Although North America also has high-purity graphene, they can't mass-produce carbon nanotubes!"

The English reporter was not panicking at all, anyway, the global chip market has always been dictated by Beili.

Even if Xia Guo develops a carbon-based chip, it will be Bei Li who will be most affected.

It doesn't have much influence with England, and there may even be some benefits.

After all, in the past, chips were decided by Beili Country, if suddenly Xia Country suddenly emerged in the chip market.

Then the chip is no longer monopolized by North America alone.

The two countries may have a price war on chips.

Qu Guangfu said, "Next is the questioning session!"

In an instant, countless people below raised their hands, and Qu Guangfu first clicked on the CCTV reporter.

The CCTV reporter stood up and said: "Hello, Academician Ye Fei, I am a CCTV reporter. We all know that you studied mathematics, and later studied materials. In the field of materials science, you discovered C72 fullerene, and through C72 fullerene Developed C72 carbon nanotubes and high-purity graphene."

"After that, mass production of C72 carbon nanotubes and C60 carbon nanotubes was developed."

"Now we are starting to develop carbon-based chips again."

"Judging from this step by step, did you premeditate the research and development of carbon-based chips?"

Everyone was shocked to find out that Ye Fei seemed to be walking steadily all the way.

From mathematical research and development of materials, C72 fullerene was discovered in materials, and C72 carbon nanotubes and high-purity graphene were developed through C72 fullerene.

After mass-manufacturing carbon nanotubes, develop chips.

Because of the mass production of carbon nanotubes, they changed lanes and overtook to develop carbon-based chips.

Many people reacted, gasped in their hearts, and looked at Ye Fei in shock.

Such a profound layout, from the very beginning, Ye Fei stared at the carbon-based chip.

Moreover, Ye Fei is so courageous, how could he be sure that he could discover C72 fullerene and develop the mass production method of C72 carbon nanotubes, high-purity graphene and carbon nanotubes.

If one of these links can't be successfully researched, isn't all previous work wasted?

At this moment, Ye Fei's image immediately changed in the eyes of everyone.

No longer a scholar, but a bold one.

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said amusedly: "This reporter friend is really good at joking. The reason why I discovered C72 fullerene and developed C72 carbon nanotubes, high-purity graphene and carbon nanotube mass production methods is entirely by chance. .”

Everyone laughed in their hearts, it's a coincidence, and it's too coincidental.

One person completes the entire production chain of carbon-based chips in the early stage.

Qu Guangfu laughed and said: "This reporter friend is really good at joking, that, next one."

Qu Guangfu also doubted whether Ye Fei had been staring at the carbon-based chip for a long time.

Even if he doesn't go to Ye Fei, Ye Fei will soon develop carbon-based chips.

But to go by himself, it was just that the two met by coincidence.

The English reporter stood up and said, "Academician Ye Fei, how soon can you develop a carbon-based chip? Which chip should you start with?"

Ye Feidao: "I can't predict the time. I will develop 12nm chips first."

"Sure enough!" Many people said.

12nm chips are the most widely used chips.

If Xia Guo can mass produce high-quality 12nm carbon-based chips.

Then, it will occupy a dominant position in the chip market.

Qu Guangfu said: "Next!"

"Academician Ye Fei, may I ask the carbon-based chip, is the lithography machine used in Holland still? Can it be used on carbon-based chips?"

"Of course!" Ye Fei said: "The lithography machines made in the Netherlands are of good quality and can be used for carbon-based chips. We will still use the lithography machines made in the Netherlands."

Of course Ye Fei would not tell the truth.

If it is said at this time, the lithography machine made in the Netherlands will not be used.

Well, there will definitely be opinions from the Netherlands.

For the time being, the country still needs Dutch lithography machines, and it will not use Dutch lithography machines until it develops its own lithography machine that can produce high-quality chips.

Qu Guangfu said: "Next!"

"Academician Ye Fei, will you develop photolithography machines, ion implanters, reactive ion etching machines and wafer dicing machines?"

Ye Fei nodded and said: "Of course, I think those who develop chips will develop these machines!"

Qu Guangfu said: "Next!"

"Academician Ye Fei..."

It was not until a long time before the press conference ended.

The news spread outside, shocking the whole world.

Everyone knows that the chip market is about to change.

Ye Fei actually wanted to change lanes and overtake to develop carbon-based chips.

No one expected this.

From the current point of view, only Xia Guo can develop carbon-based chips, and no other country can develop them.

After hearing the news, the people of Xia Guo were overjoyed.

If someone else went to develop the chip, they would think it would not succeed.

But whoever Ye Fei is, there is no technology he failed to develop.

Therefore, they are full of confidence in Ye Fei, thinking that he has a high chance of developing a chip.

[Fuck, Ye Fei is finally going to work on the chip, so excited. 】

[Other countries are still playing with silicon-based chips. Since we can't compare with you, we won't play with you, and we will directly make carbon-based chips. 】

[Ye Fei is still smart, he is right, overtaking on curves is no match for you, so let's change lanes and overtake. 】

[I think Ye Fei really has a long-term vision. He has been planning and developing carbon-based chips many years ago. 】

【…】

Pengcheng, Huawei, Chairman's Office!

"You actually developed a carbon-based chip?" Ren Dong's eyes flashed a hint of surprise.

Then he said happily: "Okay, yes, using carbon-based chips is very beneficial to our mobile phone industry."

Carbon-based chips made of graphene and carbon nanotubes are much smaller than silicon-based chips.

And smaller chips can be more suitable for mobile phones.

After all, a mobile phone is only the size of a palm.

In the future, there may also be a watch-sized mobile phone.

At this time, even smaller chips are needed.

Ren Dong said: "I hope it can be successfully developed!"

"This may be our only chance. If we fail to seize this opportunity, we don't know when the next opportunity will be."

Beili Country, in the meeting room!

Boyi looked at the crowd and said seriously: "Ye Fei is messing up again, this time he is attacking the chip, you should have heard about it!"

The crowd nodded.

Boye said: "We must stop him. Chips are our foundation. We must not lose our country's supremacy in chips."

Someone asked: "How to stop it?"

Boyi said: "According to the requirements of the above."

"One, restrict the export of chips to the Xia Kingdom."

"Second, no longer sell any chip manufacturing machines to Xiaguo."

"Three, chip materials are no longer sold to Xiaguo."

Bei Liguo's trick was so brilliant that Xia Guo couldn't make a chip.

At the same time, limit the number of chips sold to Xiaguo.

Soon, Xia Guohui will be short of heart.

Boye said: "Unless Ye Fei stops developing chips, this strategy will continue."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Boyi's approach.

Now it is a critical moment, if Xia Guo develops the chip, then the loss of Beili Country will be shattered, and its status in the world will be greatly affected.

Xia Guo, Department of Science and Technology!
After reading the document, Geng Ye clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Beili Country is really shameless. Do you think this will force us not to develop chips?"

"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. The big deal is that we will cut down on food and clothing throughout the country, and we have to develop our own chips."

"Xia Kingdom is one of the world's major countries and the world's largest chip consumer."

"But it doesn't have its own chip, isn't that a joke!"

Geng Ye picked up the phone and called, "Academician Ye Fei, I heard about your research and development of carbon-based chips."

"If you have any difficulties, you can call me, and the country will fully support you."

"Also, don't worry about the affairs of Beili Country, we must develop our own chips."

When you're done, hang up the phone.
