Putting aside the chip base for now, the recent negotiations on the home appliance business have been going relatively smoothly.
Qin Ran currently has no plans to sell the chip base to Xiao Mi all at once.
From Xu Fei's words during the day, one could tell that there were many opposing voices within the Xiaomi Group.
This means that there will be no results in the short term, and there will definitely be people whose interests will be harmed who will try to obstruct it.
The chip base has to be put on hold for the time being.
And as long as the group finds a way out, the chip base will survive.
Qin Ran knew clearly what was important and what was not.
It’s not too late to reach a cooperation first and then talk about it when the time is right.
Moreover, the investment in chip research and development is too huge, and An Group currently does not have that much money.
But in the long run, there is great potential in the chip field.
In a few years, with the rise of new energy vehicles, more and more automotive chips will be needed, which is also a good research and development direction.
Until the very end, Qin Ran didn't want to give up on this.
Chip technology has always been a bottleneck. If it can be successfully developed, An Group can definitely move to a higher level.
In that way, An Ke can be said to have completely completed An Yonghong's instructions.
Qin Ran saw that the car was moving slowly and it would take a long time to reach the destination, so he simply called Yu Cheng.
Ask whether there is a big gap between the chips currently being developed by the base and the automotive chips.
Yu Cheng was a little confused, not knowing why Qin Ran suddenly asked this.
But he still gave an answer quickly.
Big span!
There are huge differences in design, manufacturing difficulty and application scenarios.
Yu Cheng is worthy of being a high-tech talent in the chip field, and he can easily point out the difference between the two.
The main considerations for automotive chips are heat control and safety in high-performance scenarios, and they also require a longer life cycle.
However, the chips previously developed by the chip base and the current chip direction of its transformation focus on low power consumption, system openness and diverse hardware configurations.
It cannot be said that the two are different, they are completely different.
After hearing this, Qin Ran had to admit that he was an amateur.
You're thinking too simply.
However, he still tentatively asked Yucheng Chip Base whether it was possible to develop automotive chips.
Yu Cheng was silent and replied that he could try.
Compared with high-performance mobile phone chips, automotive chips have lower manufacturing technology requirements.
There are also many companies in China that can produce automotive chips that meet the needs.
However, Yu Cheng still added two points.
The investment in automotive chips, both technical and non-technical, is not small and takes a long time.
In addition, car sales are far less than mobile phone sales, and the competition is even more intense!
If you want to switch to automotive chips, you must achieve precise cost control.
To make automotive-grade chips, the chip base needs to be developed from scratch.
Yu Cheng suggested that Qin Ran must think it over carefully.
Qin Ran told Yu Cheng not to worry too much, he would not give orders blindly.
The reason I made this call was to find out more.
However, Qin Ran also took this opportunity to give Yu Cheng a heads-up in advance.
The cooperation between the chip base and Xiaomi may not go as planned.
Although the An Group will not give up the chip base at present, the latter also has to find a way out on its own.
Yu Cheng felt uncomfortable, but also expressed understanding.
Qin Ran did not make a hasty decision and decided to discuss this matter with An Ke.
However, Qin Ran still asked Yu Cheng to prepare a feasibility report on developing automotive chips.
Explain the existing chip technology and market status of the chip base.
Qin Ran was not an expert, but he also discovered from Lei Zi's last visit that the chip base had gone in the same direction as before.
The cost of silence is indeed high, but if you continue on this path, it will most likely be a dead end.
It is better to risk your life and then find a new way out.
Although switching to the research and development of automotive chips is a big step, it is not impossible.
After all, the design of automotive chips is less difficult.
Yu Cheng was not in favor of switching to automotive chips, but he also understood that Qin Ran was the only person the chip base could rely on now.
Others don't care about the lives of hundreds of employees at the chip base.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Cheng continued to work hard on the feasibility report for automotive chips.
At this time, he did not know that his action would bring the An Group to a height never reached before.
