"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Facing the blank, suspicious, and puzzled gazes of several people, Fang Nian shook his head amusedly.

"I'm just going to the capital to discuss business. The smell of this wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Besides..."

Fang Nian paused for a moment before continuing, "Tomorrow is April Fool's Day, which is very suitable for visiting Minister Miao."

Hearing what Fang Nian said, several people reacted differently.

"Are you talking about the business of the new Shenlong series with Xiaomi?"

"I'm going to report again. We haven't done anything big recently, right?"

"..."

Seeing this, Fang Nian smiled slightly: "Money at the forefront is not money. Other people's money can make a little noise when thrown into the water. I have to talk about business in person, and cry poorly by the way."

As soon as the words fell, several people said in unison: "Oh~"

"..."

Fang Nian straightened his clothes and walked out of the office first.

The village head drove Fang Nian back to the eastern suburbs of Pudong in an Audi, picked up a small backpack, and then went to Pudong Airport.

The time was just enough for Mr. Guan to apply for the route.

Enter the airport from the business machine building, all the way to the private jet of the Guanzi brand, and the plane rushed into the blue sky in a short while.

This time I go often, Fang Nian can be regarded as alone.

Except for the village chief who was easily ignored sitting there, there was no other person.

Two hours later, under the burning clouds in the sky above the capital, the Guanzihao landed smoothly at the Capital Airport.

After getting out of the airport and getting on the Mercedes-Benz, which is always used for the reception of the Pangu Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Fang Nian took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After saying a few words, he closed the line.

Long before coming to the capital, Fang Nian had contacted Lei Jun and made an appointment for dinner tonight.

Of course Lei Jun happily agreed.

Normally, Lei Jun would not be able to invite Fang Nian, but on rare occasions when he took the initiative, Lei Jun would let go even if he had something big to do.

Almost every time he sat at the same table with Fang Nian, Lei Jun could get some credit.

Not to mention too much, since the beginning of the lunar calendar, Fang Nian has donated a capital of 1 billion to Shunwei Capital to take care of it.

At a time when many industries are about to become popular due to "light payment wallets", the benefits brought by the 1 billion funds can be imagined.

Among other things, the loss of most of the qualified capital in the past two months has directly pushed up the capital value of many small companies.

The value of Shunwei Capital's shareholding has also risen accordingly.

With Lei Jun's ability to wipe out capital, it can be said that it is a pie from heaven.

The phone call after getting off the plane, Fang Nian is of course confirming the place to eat.

About an hour later, Mercedes-Benz arrived at a small alley.

Another private chef that Fang Nian has never been to, this time it is still very particular about official dishes.

In Lei Jun's words, it is not necessarily worse than Tan's cuisine.

"..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat down respectively and drank two sips of warm tea.

Lei Jun looked at Fang Nian and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, if you need something when you come to the capital this time, remember to say something."

"Mr. Lei is very polite." Fang Nian smiled, "It's true, I want to discuss a new business with Xiaomi."

Lei Jun's eyes lit up: "Oh?"

"Also ask Mr. Fang for advice."

Lei Jun liked the word business that came out of Fang Nian's mouth the most.

Since we have known each other for a long time, the word business is equivalent to equal interests.

The word "win-win" is also synonymous with Fang Nian's business.

Seeing this, Fang Nian said repeatedly: "Boss Lei is so polite, I'm almost speechless."

"It's true that the frontier needs Mr. Lei and Xiaomi."

Lei Jun became even more curious, his thoughts changed, and he said: "But please tell Mr. Fang directly."

Fang Nian didn't hesitate too much, and said frankly: "Bai Ze completed the design of the second-generation SoC of Shenlong mobile phone, and launched a low-end series, Shenlong 211, which also uses a 28-nanometer process, but the processor is 3. core, the processing performance is about 25% higher than that of Shenlong 1."

"4G network is not supported,

I wonder if it can be used on red rice? "

After listening to Fang Nian's words, Lei Jun's thoughts raced and he quickly asked, "What about the price of a single chip?"

Fang Nian replied: "It's not too cheap, the cost is 18 US dollars, and the lowest price for Xiaomi can only be 139 RMB."

"How is this possible? The performance is better than Shenlong 1, and the price is so much cheaper than Shenlong 1?" Lei Jun asked directly.

Fang Nian shrugged: "Dragon 1 has a certain rush attribute, and the cost cannot be suppressed. In the past year, if the cost cannot be reduced while improving a little performance, then Bai Ze is too wasteful."

"In other words, there are high-end series?" Lei Jun suddenly changed the subject.

Fang Nian nodded lightly: "I haven't passed the tape-out yet. The default performance is twice that of Shenlong 1, which means an increase of 100%. It is expected that the price of a single chip will be much higher than that of Shenlong 1."

Lei Jun fell silent, and said, "Let me think about it."

After moving the chopsticks on the food, Lei Jun spoke again: "The cost of 139 yuan is a burden for Redmi."

Said Lei Jun looked up at Fang Nian: "The sales of Redmi 1 have dropped sharply, Fang always hopes to launch a better Redmi 1S as soon as possible to solve it?"

"Yes." Fang Nian nodded calmly.

Lei Jun sighed, and said with emotion: "Let Mr. Fang bother."

Then he thought about it and said: "We internally launched the Redmi 1S plan at the beginning of the year. Redmi 1 has many shortcomings, and user feedback is not young or old, so we also hope to have a big improvement internally, but there has been no breakthrough;

Whether Frontier can make a custom SoC for Redmi 1S, based on the existing basis, use a slightly backward photolithography process, such as SMIC's 40nm, to control the price below 100 yuan. "

Hearing this, Fang Nian pondered for a while, and said: "Redmi 1S is a high-volume model, and it is not impossible to customize the SoC individually, but lowering the process standard will definitely affect the performance, and it may not necessarily reduce the cost. You have to confirm it. .”

Speaking of this, Fang Nian paused for a while, and then said: "But I have an additional suggestion, Redmi can use the Baize chip package, which can save a lot of money."

Lei Jun: "..."

He was really stunned for half a minute before he stared at Fang Nian and said firmly, "Mr. Fang, the frontier is not capable of independently completing the design of all the components of a smartphone, right?"

"I think so too." Fang Nian laughed, "But it's not necessary, the frontier is just doing some hardware experiments in conjunction with the accessibility of the operating system, and it's just a matter of convenience."

"What chips are there?"

"Not much, Bluetooth, radio frequency, clock management, power amplification, power management, audio decoding, that's all."

"Hey! It basically includes non-core chips, and only the motherboard and memory are missing!"

"The chip category is indeed almost complete. In this regard, other domestic companies can do limitedly, such as connectors, memory, batteries, shell structural parts, display screens, camera modules, etc., all of which are promoted by Shunwei Capital. The next development is gratifying, which is very good.”

"..."

Of course the deal was done.

After cost accounting, the foundry cost of SMIC's 40nm process chip is not high, and there are not many adjustments to be made on the basis of Shenlong 211. Baize even has SMIC's 40nm PDK, and it is estimated that it will be available after the festival. The film is completed and officially produced.

As for performance, further reduction is also limited.

After all, this is a mature design solution.

The total price of the chip set is expected to be around 139 yuan.

After all, it is a discount.

By the way, I also talked about Xiaomi Mi 2.

This is the top priority for Xiaomi, and of course it will choose the refined version of Shenlong 51X+ Baize chip set.

Lei Jun does not resist the closer cooperation between Xiaomi and Frontier.

In contrast, Youfangnian's frontier is very reliable.

Then we talked about Xiaomi's new plan: Xiaomi Tablet.

In the era when the Apple iPad dominates, there is actually no tablet of its brand on the market.

Xiaomi is going to take the cost-effective route.

This is destined not to compete with Apple.

So Shenlong 211 was also sold.

The Mi Pad will use the Shenlong 211 SoC, and the price will be lower than that of the Mi series phones.

In general……

It was not in vain for Fang Nian to take the initiative this time.

There are many business talks.

It is expected that after these businesses are formally finalized and settled, Baize Lab will be able to gradually cover the initial research and development costs.

After all, there are still 30 million pre-orders from Samsung.

The main reason is that Baize’s investment in research and development of Shenlong 51X and Shenlong 211 is not high, and it has not reached 1 billion yuan.

Just adjusted the structure, the craft is still the same craft, familiar with the way.

With the accumulation before digestion, this kind of research and development investment can be regarded as quite satisfactory.

The main reason is that there is nothing self-developed in the frontier wave, and too much was spent on Shenlong 1.

Not counting R\u0026D investment, but only based on production costs, it is not too much to sell to Samsung for an average of 70 yuan per chip.

Calculated in this way, more than half of the research and development costs of Shenlong II have been covered.

The cooperation with Xiaomi can roughly cover all the research and development investment of the Shenlong series.

After all, Shenlong 1 has sold nearly 35 million pieces in total, which roughly covers 35% to 40% of the research and development investment of Shenlong 1.

If the second generation of Shenlong can sell a few more, it will definitely turn losses into profits, and the profits will be full.

Hmm... Then I just poured my mind into the big bottomless pit of big CPU, GPU, and self-developed mobile phone SoC!

That's why Fang Nian said that his most commercially successful work is the Dangkang game.

At most, counting the frontier angels.

That's why the frontier department is called a career.

Because this fucking business pays a lot of money for a single order, it really can't be called a business.

You must know that after the original plan of Shenlong 1, Bai Ze would step over to self-develop the mobile phone processing unit, but the steps were too big to be messed up, so he had no choice but to come up with the Bailong D1, which was hardly sold publicly.

Fortunately, desktop-class CPU is also one of the plans.

Otherwise, the pants will be lost.

"..."

The business deal with Lei Jun was very happy.

Lei Jun couldn't help but smile and said: "Happy cooperation, Mr. Fang."

"Thank you Mr. Lei for taking care of me." Fang Nian said with a smile.

"..."

After the business was finished, Lei Jun intentionally brought the topic up to Frontier: "For Qingchat's A-round financing, Mr. Fang insisted on reducing holdings. Does it have something to do with Frontier?"

"That's what it means." Fang Nian replied, and then emphasized, "However, it is impossible for Frontier to raise funds, and the shares have already begun to be distributed to employees."

Hearing this, Lei Jun laughed: "Mr. Fang is overthinking. You said earlier that Frontier will not raise funds publicly. In the past, Frontier's current size and financing are not accessible to ordinary people."

Fang Nian's heart moved slightly, and he sighed and said, "Actually, I intend to emphasize that you and I both know that Frontier is not suitable for financing at all."

"Haha~" Lei Jun laughed, and then asked curiously, "I wonder if Mr. Fang can talk about Frontier's R\u0026D investment last year. The Internet said it was tens of billions. I don't think so."

Fang Nian didn't hide it, and said frankly: "Three to four billion."

He also understands why Lei Jun suddenly asked this question. Recently, some good news rankings compiled the 2011 R\u0026D investment rankings of global technology companies. It is on the front line, but at the end, it gave about 2 billion US dollars.

It's not too much nonsense, just less close?

Afterwards, Lei Jun brought the topic to Qingchat again, mainly Qingpay wallet.

The impact of this new type of mobile payment, which was arranged step by step by Fang Nian, and the changes in every aspect of life have just begun.

WeChat Pay and Alipay are also following up.

After all, it is not too complicated technology.

But both of them know that Qingchat is fast and fast, especially Qingchat has 200 million active users, which is stronger than these two.

And QQ...

Limited by the early structure and internal problems of Goose Factory, it is difficult to get out of the quagmire and compete with WeChat, Qingchat, and Alipay.

"..."

But Fang Nian didn't say much as Lei Jun expected.

After the meal, Fang Nian politely declined Lei Jun's extra invitation and returned to Park Hyatt Mansion.

…………

…………

Early the next morning.

Fang Nian got on the Mercedes and rushed to No. 13 West Chang'an Avenue.

Also as early as yesterday, Fang Nian took the initiative to contact Miao Wei, saying that he would report to work, so he was not blocked.

Mr. Fang walked into the minister's office with ease.

Miao Wei has long been waiting.

As soon as he entered the door, Fang Nian sighed before saying anything, with a gloomy look on his face.

Miao Wei wanted to avoid it when he saw it.

Fang Nian seemed to be trying to force a smile, and greeted in a gentle manner: "Miao Bu good morning, I am very glad to meet the leader."

Miao Wei felt bitter: "!!!"

A warm smile appeared on his face, and he said kindly: "Mr. Fang, thank you for your hard work. Please sit down, Xiao Chen. Go and make tea for Mr. Fang."

"..."

After sitting down on the reception sofa, Miao Wei took the initiative to talk about family issues.

He intentionally didn't give Fang Nian the chance to talk about something serious right away.

He intends to relax a bit before speaking.

It can be said that the entire outside world, that is, Miao Wei, is very aware of the thousand-year-old fox nature under Fang Nian's young face!

After a while, Miao Wei had to take the initiative to bring up the topic again: "I heard that the big CPU project team at the forefront of Luzhou has made a breakthrough. I don't know the result."

"I'm going to report to the Miao Department!" Fang Nian said seriously.

He sighed again as he spoke: "Ah... Miaobu, you don't know, this big CPU project team... the front line is a bit overwhelmed;

...

Naebe, you know, is Frontier the kind of company that lacks money? Do we need those top academicians in China to save money? "

"Ugh……"

"I'm... heartbroken, I'm sorry for Miaobu's ardent expectations, I'm sorry for the country, I'm sorry..."

Seeing Fang Nian's bitter face, maybe he could say something more shameless, Miao Wei hurriedly interrupted: "I was negligent, tomorrow, no! Today I will ask the finance to transfer the remaining 1 billion to Luzhou frontier!"

Fang Nian blinked slightly, and said with a serious face: "Miaobu, you must have misunderstood me again! Is Fang Nian the kind of person who cries for poverty?!"

Miao Wei: "Give it now!"
