Chapter 423: Bypassing Technology Patent Barriers

Hu Yang was the same. He couldn't be happy for several days, even though he had just eliminated a huge hidden danger.

In the past few days, he has been thinking about how to break through the technical barriers of dram?

So, he took time to come to Charming Semiconductor and was accompanied by Yang Chenglin to inspect the company's headquarters and R&D center.

"Dr. Yang, let me ask you, is it possible for us to win over DRAM technology with our own efforts?"

At this time, there were only two people in the office, Hu Yang and Yang Chenglin, so Hu Yang asked straightforwardly.

"Success is still possible, but it requires continued investment and enough time."

The company has made great progress in the field of flash memory, and its product line has covered most of the mid- to low-end categories. Therefore, Yang Chenglin still has a certain degree of confidence in self-developed DRAM technology.

Hu Yang nodded and did not continue to ask.

According to Hu Yang's understanding, the continuous investment that Yang Chenglin mentioned requires an investment of about US$1 billion. And the so-called sufficient time will take about 5-10 years.

"Dr. Yang, I hope everyone will continue to work hard. As for R&D funds, you don't have to worry. Mr. Yan said that he will ensure the allocation of funds."

After Hu Yang finished speaking, he stood up and patted Yang Chenglin on the shoulder, then left Charming Semiconductor.

He decided to continue to wait patiently for the opportunity to launch the dram project, but no matter how long it took, he would definitely get involved in this field.

"Mr. Hu, two gentlemen from the 27th Institute of Electrical Engineering are looking for you. When will you be back? They said they won't leave until they see you."

Halfway through the car, Hu Yang received a call from Lin Yan from the company.

Nowadays, Hu Yang often takes Mi Qi out, leaving Lin Yan to stay in the company. After all, Mi Qi is not qualified enough, so many things can only be handled by Lin Yan.

"I'll go back right away, please wait a moment."

Hu Yang was no stranger to the Institute of Electrical Engineering, but this was the first time he heard about this 27th institute. With a hint of curiosity, after Hu Yang returned to the Investment Building, he went directly to the small conference room on the 87th floor.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Dai, this is our Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu, these two are Mr. Ma Yu and Mr. Dai Xiangjun from Institute 27."

In addition to Lin Yan, there were two men in the conference room who looked to be in their thirties. One of the two men wore glasses, and you could tell at a glance that he was a "science and engineering man." The other, well-dressed, looked like

It's the white-collar class.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Dai, hello. Please sit down."

Hu Yang stepped forward and shook hands with the two of them, and then the host and guest took their seats.

Lin Yan asked someone to change a cup of tea for Ma Yu and Dai Xiangjun, and then also sat down.

"Mr. Hu, we have some confidential things that we want to talk to you about. Do you think so?"

After sitting down, Ma Yu, the "science and engineering man", remained silent. Dai Xiangjun was the first to speak.

"Assistant Lin has always been my deputy and assistant. She has the right to participate in all the core secrets of the company."

Hu Yang smiled and reintroduced Lin Yan's identity to the two of them.

When Dai Xiangjun heard this, he nodded and smiled apologetically at Lin Yan.

Then he looked at Hu Yang and said: "Mr. Hu, our institute is currently encountering difficulties when researching a space-grade memory chip. Now we would like to ask for technical support from Charming Semiconductor. Is it possible?"

Space-grade memory chips? Hu Yang had some guesses about the identities of these two people.

"Mr. Dai, I wonder what type of memory chip you are talking about? Technical support is no problem. As long as we have existing technology, we can provide it. However, I hope that you can sign a technical confidentiality agreement with us and promise

No commercial application."

Although he roughly guessed the identities of the two people, Hu Yang still stated his request.

Dai Xiangjun and Ma Yulai had already imagined many difficulties before coming, such as the other party would delay and shirk the responsibility, or even refuse outright.

If they really refused, they had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, as soon as Dai Xiangjun opened his mouth, Hu Yang agreed directly.

"That's right. Even if you don't tell Mr. Hu, we will do the same."

Dai Xiangjun is now very fortunate that before coming to Shenhai, the leader asked them to go to Qi Xiangmin first. After Qi Xiangmin found out about this, he asked them not to go directly to Charming Semiconductor, but to ask them to come to Hu Yang.

At that time, Qi Xiangmin said that it would not be good for the city to intervene in this kind of matter. Why don't you go to Hu Yang and promise that the city will not interfere.

Now it seems that Qi Xiangmin still has confidence in Populus euphratica.

"Mr. Hu, I heard that Charming Semiconductor is discussing cooperation with Hualian Electronics? Our institute has been doing research on DRAM. Although the technology is far from advanced, our unique design architecture is still good. I don't know Hu.

Are you always interested? If so, we can provide you with this architecture called xkg."

Ma Yu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. He meant that he wanted to exchange technology with Charming Semiconductor.

The scientific research results in the institute are very rich, but if we want to find technology that meets the needs of the other party without leaking secrets, we can only use this dram design architecture.

When Hu Yang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. It doesn't matter if the technology is lagging behind. Now that Charming Semiconductor is conducting DRAM research, the most lacking thing is the technical route. The architecture mentioned by Ma Yu is completely the result of self-research by 27 Research Institute, and of course it can be circumvented.

Technology patent barriers of other giants.

Later, Hu Yang called Yan Hanzhang to come up and signed a cooperation agreement with Dai Xiangjun, who represented the 27th Institute.

The agreement stipulates that Charming Semiconductor will provide technical support to 27 institutes in terms of memory chips (including flash memory, DRAM, etc.), and 27 institutes will provide self-developed DRAM architecture to Charming Semiconductor free of charge.

27 After receiving technical support, a confidentiality agreement must be followed, Charming Semiconductor's technology must not be leaked to third parties, and commercial applications cannot be carried out.

Charming Semiconductor received the xkg architecture from 27 Institutes for free, and all technology upgrades based on this foundation belong to Charming Semiconductor.

"Mr. Hu, thank you for your strong support. We can strengthen cooperation in the future. However, it is best for insiders to limit our cooperation to a very small range."

Before going out, Dai Xiangjun and Ma Yu expressed their gratitude to Hu Yang again and again and gave them a warning.

"Mr. Dai, Mr. Ma, you are too polite. I will keep this matter confidential, please rest assured. Mr. Yan, you can handle the rest and entertain the two guests for me."

Hu Yang shook hands with Dai Xiangjun and Ma Yu one by one, and then went down to his office on the 86th floor with Lin Yan.

Yan Hanzhang quickly handled the cooperation matters with Institute 27, and the matter was limited to him and Huang Tao. Yang Chenglin knew about it, and even Sa Hongli didn't know what happened.

After receiving the technical information on the xkg architecture, Hu Yang convened a meeting with Yan Hanzhang, Huang Tao, and Yang Chenglin.

"Dr. Yang, please do an evaluation of this architecture later. If it has application value, the company's future DRAM technology research and development will focus on this technical path."

Hu Yang does not understand technology, and Yan Hanzhang does not understand specific chip design. It is best to leave this kind of matter to Yang Chenglin.

After Yang Chenglin brought the information back to the company, he organized technical personnel to conduct a technical evaluation on it. Three days later, he came to Hu Yang's office with the evaluation report.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Yan."

When he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Hu Yang and Yan Hanzhang sitting in the tea room drinking tea. Yang Chenglin smiled and greeted them.

"Dr. Yang, please sit down."

Hu Yang motioned to Yang Chenglin to sit down and talk, and then he took the evaluation report from the other party's hand and read it. After reading it, he handed the report to Yan Hanzhang and asked him to read it too.

"Mr. Hu and Mr. Yan, after our evaluation, the xkg architecture is very conducive to technology upgrading and transformation, which will be of great help to our research on DRAM chip technology."

Yang Chenglin did not expect that a non-mainstream architecture that he had never seen before would become the key to their research on DRAM technology.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Yan Hanzhang said "good" three times in a row, which showed that he was very excited.

Hu Yang said with a smile: "Dr. Yang, then you can make good use of it. The intellectual property rights of DRAM technology developed based on this architecture in the future belong to the company, and you can apply for patents."

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I understand. However, according to my inference and that of the relevant technical staff, it will take about one to one and a half years for the company to develop dram technology to take shape."

Yang Chenglin gave a timetable, which has greatly exceeded previous estimates. Before this architecture was available, he estimated that it would take about 5-10 years for the company to develop its own DRAM technology.

"Very good! Mr. Yan, next you must strongly support the research work of Charming Semiconductor. If you want money, give money and people. You must get this technology!"

Hu Yang wiped away the depressed mood he had felt some time ago. This accidental incident allowed the company to find a new technological path to self-develop DRAM.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I will go to Charming Semiconductor with Dr. Yang now."

Yan Hanzhang was sitting here just now and had already thought about it. He needed to convene relevant personnel to hold a mobilization meeting and propose a large reward plan at the meeting.

After Yang Chenglin and Yan Hanzhang left, Hu Yang asked Lin Yan to call Gao Mingkang, Chen Hao, and Chen Jialin that Charming Semiconductor would hold a board meeting next week.

Hu Yang had considered investing in the construction of a dram factory before. Now that he has seen the prospect of a breakthrough in technology, building a factory must be put on the agenda.

Otherwise, what will happen to the production after the DRAM has completed the design and finalization? You can't still find an outsider to do the manufacturing, right?

However, investing in a large-scale DRAM production factory requires a huge amount of funds. Prices at this point in time are much lower than ten years later, but even if the investment does not reach the amount of 30 billion yuan, at least 10 billion yuan is needed

about.

At this time, Charming Semiconductor would definitely not be able to get 10 billion yuan of funds, so Hu Yang needed to hold a board meeting and work with several directors to find a solution.
