Chapter 663 The Fab Is Being Targeted

Ni Guangnan left full of doubts.

As a master of technology, his ideas cannot be accepted by the general public, which in itself makes him feel aggrieved.

But since Wu Tao said so, he also has the awareness to obey.

In addition, it is not difficult for him to imagine that it took only two years for the Lotus mobile phone to become the trump product with the largest domestic market share from the beginning of its birth.

He knew very well that this meant that he himself could not compare with Wu Tao in terms of market development.

After pondering over and over like this, my heart suddenly felt relieved.

As a result, as soon as Ni Guangnan ceased fire, the hot discussion in the newspapers about domestically produced chips gradually cooled down.

So much so that when Wu Tao took advantage of the weekend to visit Gu Xueli and his wife in the Xuefu community, Gu Xueli asked in puzzlement, "Why has Guangnan been misfired recently? Isn't this his style?"

At that moment, Wu Tao had to explain patiently: "I told him to endure it. First, this kind of debate itself is not very meaningful, and second, it affects the mood and delays the progress of research and development."

Gu Xueli pointed at him with a loud smile and said, "You kid just thinks 'If you don't sing, you will become a blockbuster'. I don't know you yet? But with Guangnan's personality, can he bear this kind of thing?"

"So Grandpa," Wu Tao took the opportunity to say: "When you are free, you can help me and persuade him. There is no need to fight between emotions. Let's speak with facts."

"That's no problem!" Gu Xueli immediately packed the ticket and said: "Next time, I will help you talk about him, and I will make sure that he will keep his ears shut and focus on making domestic chips!"

After the grandparents and grandson finished chatting about Ni Guangnan, the topic naturally shifted to the standardization of the third-generation mobile communication technology.

Speaking of his job, Gu Xueli looked excited, "Now we are fully capable of participating in the research and development of 3G international standards. We have also applied for a lot of corresponding patents, and no one can ignore our Huaxia side. contribution."

"...However, the third-generation technical standard of CDMA cannot get around Qualcomm's patent barriers. In Europe, the ESTI organization has considered developing another set of standards, so there are different voices in our group. This is difficult. manage!"

This can't help but remind Wu Tao of the standard dispute in his previous life.

In the previous life, the mobile company specially developed a nondescript TD-SCDMA for the third-generation standard. As a result, the patent barrier did not go around, but it consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. In the end, it was completely eliminated after a few years of use.

So when Gu Xueli encountered this problem, Wu Tao immediately stated: "Grandpa, my suggestion is about the third generation. Let's not develop new standards. Now that the third-generation CDMA standard system has not been fully established, Let's do more work to accumulate patent resources; on the other hand, we should do more articles in advance on the fourth generation to try to reverse this unfavorable situation."

"Your opinion is always unique!" Gu Xueli thought, "But many of us are worried that once the life of the third-generation CDMA standard exceeds 10 years, it will be a period of vigorous development of our country's mobile communication market. The patent fee paid to Qualcomm may be as high as tens of billions of dollars!"

Wu Tao thought to himself: "Probably not. Given the current situation of ESTI and Qualcomm's two sets of standards, the time for the third-generation CDMA to be launched is still early. At that time, we only need to establish the fourth-generation technical standards as soon as possible. Holding the initiative can completely gain the right to speak and reduce losses."

Gu Xueli seemed quite convinced.

It's just that this kind of thing is far from something that Gu Xueli can decide alone.

As for whether he will follow the old path of his previous life in the future, Wu Tao can't guarantee it. He can only exert his influence as much as possible, avoid some technical detours, and reduce the waste of national resources and funds.

That's all.

When he left the Xuefu community, Wu Tao gained a lot.

As a newly promoted academician, the New Year's goods accumulated this year are obviously a bit more than in previous years. The old couple couldn't finish eating at home, so Wu Tao was naturally cheaper.

As for Gu Fei, he doesn't show his face a few times throughout the year, and he doesn't like the few New Year's goods that the old couple have saved up.

As time passed day by day, the weather in Jinling turned warm and cold.

Seeing that February was about to pass steadily, and Wu Tao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao Zixia took the initiative to find the president's office.

Wu Tao has always attached great importance to this subordinate with a good background.

Even if Xiao Zixia and Gu Fei did not have any sparks in the end, Wu Tao did not make things difficult for her. On the contrary, as a friend, he even implicitly supported Xiao Zixia's decision.

"Boss, I have good news for you this time."

"Oh?" Wu Tao became interested as soon as he heard it, "Hurry up and make me happy too."

"It's like this. I have a friend who heard that we are going to build a fab. He wants to participate in a share, take risks with us, and share the profits and losses." Xiao Zixia said with burning eyes: "The more important thing is that the other party My family has something to do with the Ministry of Science and Technology. Once the product goes on the market in the future, it will basically sell well.”

Wu Tao's heart was dark, and he was most afraid that this kind of thing would happen.

Immediately asked calmly: "How did your friend know about this? Did you tell him?"

Xiao Zixia waved her hands again and again and said, "It's not me, it seems that I accidentally saw it in a newspaper a while ago."

Even if the fab appeared in the newspaper, it was a passing matter. The other party was able to target this factory at a glance without mentioning anything about chip research and development, which shows that the other party came in a targeted and prepared manner.

Seeing that Wu Tao's reaction was not as exciting as expected, Xiao Zixia also recalled, "Boss, don't you want someone to cooperate with us to build a fab?"

Wu Tao pondered: "You are my capable subordinate, and I will not hide this from you. The fab does not lack funds, and the market is not lacking. The only constraints are the introduction of technology and equipment. So I don't want to cooperate with more parties. One more factor of uncertainty."

"Ah? So that's the case!" Xiao Zixia was stunned, and immediately added an explanation: "Boss, the news that we are going to invest in a fab is really not revealed by me, I swear to you."

Wu Tao waved his hand, "What are you swearing? How can I not believe you?" Immediately, his eyes flashed thoughtful and said: "It seems that our fab is being targeted."

After a pause, he added: "In this way, you and your friend said that investing in the construction of a fab in the mainland, the foreign party is quite sensitive to the nature and source of our capital, so we can only decline his cooperation sincerity. If there is an opportunity in the future, we can consider cooperation again.”

Xiao Zixia suddenly understood: "I understand, I will give him an answer in two days."

Watching Xiao Zixia leave easily, Wu Tao's heart was not at all relaxed.

What should come will always come, but I didn't expect everything to come too early.

It seems that it is inevitable to have to think about it again.
