Chapter 98 Microcontroller Chip
Hearing what Ni Guangnan said and looking at Ni Guangnan's expectant eyes, Lin Xuan naturally nodded lightly and agreed:
"Well, next I will work hard to integrate that knowledge through practice, and then come back with more than ten or twenty academician titles to make your tail fly to the sky, teacher!"
Hearing that Lin Xuan dared to tease him, Ni Guangnan naturally shook his head helplessly with a smile, then pointed at Lin Xuan and laughed:
"You, you are such a troublesome disciple."
"Ha ha……"
Hearing what Ni Guangnan said, Lin Xuan laughed heartily. Seeing this, Ni Guangnan also couldn't hide his laughter.
For a long time, Lin Xuan looked at Ni Guangnan and said slowly:
"Teacher, there was news online claiming that you have been dismissed from your post. I'm afraid this is true."
When talking about his dismissal, Ni Guangnan nodded slightly and said:
"I know, after all, to be honest, I was responsible for scientific research at that time, and my sudden departure was indeed a bit unethical...
Scientific research tasks are important and cannot be done without a supervisor. I fully accept the fact that they will dispatch people to carry out the tasks on my behalf and have no objections.
After all, the development of scientific research projects in Daxia cannot be affected because of my personal reasons, so I have nothing to say about this matter."
Nodding slightly, Lin Xuan continued:
"I believe that through your sudden departure, they will eventually understand you through Hanfeng's first-generation chip.
Now you have nothing to do when you go back, so why not stay in Hantang? Teacher has always wanted to develop domestic computer chips, and our Hantang Technology supports teachers in making computer chips!"
"this……"
Ni Guangnan felt moved when he heard that Lin Xuan actually supported him in developing computer chips and fulfilling his long-held dream.
It was not in vain that he worked so hard and painstakingly to teach this student. Even after he had learned 70% of the knowledge, the student still didn't forget his roots.
He was actually willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to support his research and development of computer chips!
The research and development of general-purpose computer chips is no small matter. The cost of chip tape-out plus the scientific research investment in chip development, the final expenditure may reach hundreds of millions of yuan!
Ni Guangnan believes that Lin Xuan will know that it may cost hundreds of millions of yuan to develop computer chips.
But even so, Lin Xuan still chose to support him. How could this not move Ni Guangnan?!
"No, developing computer chips is not something that can be completed in a short period of time. Moreover, Hantang Technology is currently facing a shortage of funds and cannot spend so much money to develop computer chips, so let's forget about it."
Although developing computer chips is Ni Guangnan's dream, Hantang Technology now has no money to invest in the field of computer chips.
After all, Hantang Technology is now facing a pressure of 110 million yuan to pay for a new factory. How can it have money to develop computer chips at this time?
He cannot affect the development of his disciples' company just because of his hobbies, or even put Hantang Technology Company on the verge of bankruptcy!
So at this time Ni Guangnan rejected Lin Xuan's words without hesitation!
Looking at Ni Guangnan's determined expression, Lin Xuan knew that Ni Guangnan might not be able to listen to what he said, so Lin Xuan smiled and changed the subject:
"Okay, teacher, since you don't want to develop computer chips now, then you can develop microcontroller chips for our Hantang Technology.
The future market potential of single-chip microcomputer chips is huge, and we can also make a lot of money through single-chip microcomputer chips."
The so-called microcontroller chip is actually a microcomputer. It has a CPU, memory, storage, etc. It can be said that this is just an ultra-small computer.
However, unlike computers, this thing is extremely small, only as big as a fingernail, and its application scenarios are very broad.
In the future, the use of single-chip microcomputers will be very extensive. Single-chip microcomputers have been applied to the control of intelligent instruments, real-time industrial control, communication equipment, navigation systems, household appliances, etc.
It can be said that once various products use microcontrollers, they can have the effect of upgrading the products.
The names of these products and equipment that use microcontrollers are often preceded by the adjective "smart".
It can be said that microcontrollers are widely used and will enter homes in the future, whether it is air conditioners, washing machines, TV remote controls, or even electronically controlled toy cars...
It can be said that in the future, almost all electronic devices will have microcontrollers, so the market for microcontrollers will be extremely broad in the future.
There are many single-chip microcomputers at present. After all, the single-chip microcomputer chip has been used by people not long after it was created from general-purpose chips.
It was first used by people in aircraft control, machine tool automation control, or industrial automation control.
Now, time has come, and now various home appliances are also using microcontroller chips. Therefore, there are many manufacturers of microcontroller chips and there are many brands of microcontrollers.
But although there are many manufacturers and brands of microcontrollers, only a few brand companies' microcontroller chips can actually dominate the global market for smart home appliances or electronically controlled machine tools and equipment.
Among them, the most well-known, oldest and widely used one is the 51 series microcontroller chip, which is a microcontroller chip developed by Intel and has a history of several decades.
In addition, there are also high-end STM32 series microcontroller chips that use the ARM instruction set as the core, and...
At present, there are many companies manufacturing single-chip microcomputer chips, but there are very few domestic companies that develop microcontroller chips, and the results are also very few.
At this time, the craze for smart home appliances has not yet officially broken out. It is still the era of great online shopping.
After people got used to comparisons and more choices, that was the craze of the smart home appliance era.
After all, in the Internet age, consumers naturally give priority to purchasing smart home appliances when faced with high-quality products across the country.
The home appliances are old and cannot be controlled automatically, and people have to use manual control. How can these home appliances and even equipment be sold?
Therefore, major appliance factories were forced to carry out technological changes, so that was the era of the explosion of smart home appliances, and it was also the era of single-chip microcomputer chips that fell into a sales frenzy!
At this time, if Lin Xuan's Hantang Technology can develop a powerful and cheap microcontroller chip.
Then Hantang Technology may be able to take the fattest piece of meat in the future trend of smart home appliances!
Lin Xuan doesn’t expect too much from the microcontroller chip market, Lin Xuan only needs 50%!
Although it was only 50%, it was enough to create a multi-billion dollar enterprise, so Lin Xuan suggested that Ni Guangnan conduct research and development of microcontroller chips at this time.
"MCU chip?"
Ni Guangnan was a little moved.
Although the microcontroller is not a computer chip, if we use the metaphor of airplanes and bicycles.
The microcontroller is the simplest bicycle, while the computer chip is a complex aircraft. The design and manufacturing difficulty of the two is completely different.
Under such circumstances, the investment cost of microcontroller chips is naturally much smaller than that of computer chips. It seems that Lin Xuan can really support the research and development of microcontroller chips?!
"Yes, teacher, it doesn't take many people to develop a microcontroller chip anyway. Teacher, you can design it first.
Anyway, you are simulating the design on the computer, and you don’t have to actually tape out the chip, so you don’t have to spend too much money upfront.”
Hearing what Lin Xuan said, what else could Ni Guangnan say.
Compared with computer chips, single-chip microcomputers have great sales prospects after they are developed.
After developing computer chips, we have to face the terrifying Weisoft and Intel, and it is very difficult to make money.
The cost of investing in research and development of single-chip microcomputer is much lower. There is indeed a huge vacancy in the field of domestic single-chip microcomputer chips.
Otherwise, we would not have allowed the 51 series microcontrollers from decades ago to dominate the teaching books of major technical secondary schools or colleges in Daxia.
At this time, it would be a good thing for Daxia if Han and Tang microcontrollers could be used to replace Intel's 51 series microcontrollers and replace the chips that freshmen in various technical schools and colleges across the country study.
So what else could Ni Guangnan say at this time, so he naturally nodded and agreed.
"Okay, but I still have to go back to Xia Ke Academy and explain the situation to them as an apology. After that, I will bring a few of my disciples over to work for you."
"That would be great, I will give them a generous salary!"
Lin Xuan was naturally overjoyed when he heard what Ni Guangnan said.
With a small chip design team led by Ni Guangnan, Lin Xuan's next task will be much easier.
Although Lin Xuan can also develop a microcontroller chip himself, Lin Xuan has too many things to do, and he also has to manage the company. It can be said that he is extremely busy with various affairs.
At this time, it would be great to have academician Ni Guangnan and his graduate and doctoral level students help him develop the chip.
So after the two of them made up their minds and held a farewell party, Ni Guangnan got in a car and went to Rongcheng Airport and flew directly to the capital to return to Xia Ke Academy.
And Lin Xuan also began to solve the various difficulties currently faced by the company, that is, to solve the problem of paying for the 110 million new factory!
If Lin Xuan cannot pay 110 million before July 15, then Lin Xuan's new factory will definitely not be able to be launched, and Lin Xuan will become the laughing stock of the whole country.
He has titles such as "a great success", "blindly arrogant", "dare to enter without looking at the strength in front of you", etc.
It will fall on Lin Xuan's head forcibly and he will never be able to take it off, so Lin Xuan's task is very busy!
So as Lin Xuan entered work mode, Hantang Company began to develop rapidly step by step.
On July 6, 2004, a certain bank president who had blocked Lin Xuan suddenly came to apologize in person.
He claimed that he was willing to lend 150 million yuan to Hantang Technology Company at low interest rates as compensation for his previous unreasonable blackmailing of Lin Xuan.
As long as Hantang Company places the company's running accounts with the bank, it can obtain 150 million in funds in lieu of low-interest loans.
In response, Lin Xuan shook his head and refused, claiming that he would never cooperate with a certain bank again. After hearing this, the president of the bank left as if he were mourning for his heir.
As soon as the news came out, major news aroused heated discussions. Within two days, the president of the branch was investigated by the superiors.
Within just a few days, it was discovered that he had been imprisoned for embezzling millions of dirty money. According to relevant sources, he would not be thinking about getting out within ten years.
On July 10, 2004, the senior vice president of Fuji Equipment flew directly from the island country to Haishang, and then transferred to Rongcheng to visit Hantang Technology Company on the spot.
