Chapter 571 Born to be a Father

On Thursday morning, Zhou Jing went to Shengtang Chip Design Institute to check the chip design situation. The institute is designing the first mobile phone processor according to Zhou Jing's design architecture. The progress is in line with Zhou Jing's expectations. According to the progress, the Ideal Tianji chip can meet the performance and functional requirements of low-end and mid-range machines in 15 years at the earliest.

"Everyone must remember that you must not disclose the news of chip development to anyone, including your family. Once you leave the institute, you must never mention any information about the Tianji chip. The chip is the company's top confidentiality project. Before the Tianji chip is officially released, you must not see any evidence of Ideal Technology's self-developed chip on the Internet."

After learning about the research progress of the Tianji chip, Zhou Jing asked Bai Xiyao to convene a meeting of all the personnel in the Shengtang Research Institute. At the meeting, Zhou Jing once again emphasized and strengthened the confidentiality agreement.

Zhou Jing also required lithography graduate students at Taiwei Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. to sign the highest confidentiality agreement.

If Qualcomm finds out about the poor confidentiality, it may affect the supply of chips to Ideal Mobile Phones, but it is not necessarily the case.

Qualcomm has not cut off the supply of Huawei's HiSilicon self-developed chips.

For a proud and profit-seeking company like Qualcomm, immediate interests are the most important. With multiple choices of mobile phone chips, chip companies need better carriers to compete for market share.

Once a chip company becomes the dominant player, price increases will follow. This is Qualcomm's nature.

In order to keep the chip design more confidential, the official legal representative of the institute is not Zhou Jing and Ideal Technology Co., Ltd., but is registered under Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. The registered legal representative and general manager of Bowei Network Technology Co., Ltd. is He Kang, and Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao are the actual controllers behind the scenes.

After the Chip Design Institute meeting, Zhou Jing had dinner and went to the hotel to pack his things.

"I'm changing clothes, do you want to watch?"

Zhou Jing threw his autumn johns on the bed and said.

"If you dare to take off your clothes, I will dare to watch. Why would you do that when there is such a good woman like Gu Jia!"

Bai Xiyao just heard Gu Jia reminding Zhou Jing on the phone to go back and put on his BJ long johns. Who else except a mother could care about someone so much? Gu Jia is a little old, and a man should be satisfied to marry a wife like her.

"I feel so too."

Zhou Jing also wanted to give Gu Jia the perfect and unique one, but after his rebirth, his wild heart couldn't stop at all, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

Bai Xiyao asked: "Why are scumbags more attractive?"

"You can't be a scumbag without charm."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"Too."

After changing clothes, Bai Xiyao and Song Zhou Jing went to the airport.

It was around five in the afternoon when Gu Jia returned to BJ. After get off work, she did not go home but went directly to the airport.

It is already mid-September and the autumn is getting stronger in BJ. After getting off the plane, Zhou Jing obviously felt that it was much cooler than in Tangdu. Tangdu was still wearing short-sleeved shirts and pants at this time, while BJ needed to wear a coat and autumn trousers.

"Do you wear or carry long johns?"

After exiting the airport passage, Gu Jia pinched Zhou Jing's leg and said.

"I have to listen to your words."

Before Zhou Jing set out, Gu Jia specifically reminded him to wear long johns over the phone.

"A good disciple who listens to advice." Gu Jia pinched Zhou Jing's face and said, "Does Secretary SW have any instructions for the company after his inspection?"

"Upgrade Tangdu's technology industry with Ideal Technology as the core, and vigorously develop artificial intelligence and digital technology."

Today, Ideal Technology is the undisputed leader of technology companies in the province. All companies in Tangdu related to communications and electronics have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Ideal Technology. They know that this is an era of rapid changes in information electronics and artificial intelligence. If they cannot catch up with the express train of companies like Ideal Technology, they will be eliminated faster.

"If Tangdu is built into a modern industrial chain gathering place, it can greatly guarantee an ideal supply chain. Are there any companies in Tangdu that can provide assistance in chip design and lithography machine research?"

After leaving the airport, Gu Jia opened the trunk of the car and said.

"The company doesn't have it, but Jiaotong University, XB University of Technology and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China do. We are discussing further cooperation with these three universities. Once the negotiations are successful, we will set up a joint research institute specializing in lithography technology."

Tangdu is a place with special charm. The First Emperor is buried underground and the ancient city of Tang Dynasty is above ground. In modern times, Tangdu is one of the top provinces in China for cultivating talents. Although it is located deep inland and its northwest geographical environment does not lack the driving force for scientific and technological development like many inland cities, on the contrary, it is very attractive for talents.

This is also one of the important reasons why Ideal Technology can quickly gain a foothold in Tangdu.

“Will the university and the country allocate research funds after the establishment of the joint research institute?”

What Gu Jia is concerned about is funding. If the school does not allocate funds, it would be equivalent to fleecing Ideal Technology. Ideal Technology's research on lithography technology will benefit the whole country, and it may not be successful. If the cooperating colleges and universities can bear part of the funds, Ideal Technology can lose less if it fails.

"We will definitely make the call, but the question is how much to make, and also the question of naming the technology patents."

Zhou Jing did not hold out much hope for the school's financial support. Universities like Shanghai Jiao Tong University and XB University of Technology only have an annual research budget of around 10 billion RMB. After allocating so many projects, it would be great if the larger projects could get 400 to 500 million yuan. Zhou Jing would be satisfied with the fact that Shanghai Jiao Tong University, University of Technology and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China each support their research institutes with 300 million yuan each year, which is at least enough to cover the salary, benefits and operating expenses of a team of 1,000 people.

As for the funds for scientific research equipment, consumables, etc., Zhou Jing paid for them.

A team of a thousand people is dedicated to mastering the technology of lithography machines. The province will definitely report this scale to the GJ. If Zhou Jing can get more funds from the GJ, it can further alleviate Zhou Jing's financial pressure. Ideal Technology needs to research and develop many aspects. Once the artificial intelligence and AI projects are fully rolled out, tens of billions of research and development funds will be required every year.

Hundreds of billions of R&D funds are a huge pressure for any domestic technology company. Zhou Jing cannot guarantee that he can maintain such expenses. The bulk of Ideal Technology's profits come from selling more than 100 million smartphones each year.

Zhou Jing doesn't care about the naming of the technology developed by the joint research institute. As long as the school can bear the salaries and operating expenses of a team of thousands of people, Zhou Jing can put the school first in patent naming. Anyway, the information of the lithography machine must be handed over to GJ after it is developed.

Without the government's overall integration of the industrial chain, supply chain and resources, even if all the key technologies of EUV lithography machines are mastered, it is not possible for a single company to mass-produce lithography machines and put them into production of chips. Lithography machines require the support of many upstream and downstream industries, and only a country like China, with its vast territory, comprehensive manufacturing industry and rich resources, can handle it.

"Boss, please get in the car."

After closing the trunk of the car, Gu Jiaxian walked to the passenger side, opened the door and said with a smile.

"She's becoming more and more like a secretary."

Zhou Jing withdrew his hand that was about to slap Gu Jia's butt. Zhou Jing is now considered a relatively unknown figure in China, and his fame far exceeds that of the 18th-tier stars in the entertainment industry. He should be careful about his words and actions in public. If he touches a woman and is photographed by someone with ulterior motives and the matter is hyped up, it will cause a sensation.

After getting in the car, Zhou Jing picked up Teacher Gu's water cup, unscrewed it and took a sip. There were red dates and jasmine flowers soaked in Teacher Gu's thermos cup, which exuded the sweetness of red dates and the fragrance of jasmine flowers, just like the taste of Teacher Gu's lips.

"Let's go, fasten your seat belts."

Gu Jia got in the car and reminded the boy.

Zhou Jing fastened his seat belt and reached out to touch Teacher Gu's leg.

Today, Teacher Gu wore a white Chanel-style top and black tights over a hip skirt. She looked intellectual, elegant, gentle and generous. The pure cotton tights felt delicate and silky, and wrapped her thighs with plenty of elasticity.

"Be careful, I might get distracted and hit someone. I was answering a phone call and driving slowly when I came here. A BMW was about to overtake, and it probably recognized my car and immediately slowed down to keep a distance."

Gu Jia drove the Maybach S680 today, and for the first time he truly experienced the sense of security brought by a luxury car. People driving ordinary BMWs didn't dare to get close to the Maybach S680.

"I'll get you a new car when we get to the villa."

Zhou Jing took his hand off Gu Jia's leg and said.

"No need now."

Gu Jia doesn't have any particular pursuit for cars. In addition to the Maybach that BJ's family drives now, they also have an Audi A6L, a BMW 7 Series, and a Mercedes-Benz GLA, which are enough for them to drive within the license plate limit.

Gu Jia continued, "You can buy another one in Tangdu and put it in the villa garage. Diaoyudao is making trouble again. Did anyone in Tangdu smash the car?"

"No, I'm planning to sell the Prado and buy a Range Rover."

Zhou Jing was also tired of driving that Prado. That damn thing had no self-awareness in such a small country and was always causing trouble. Before returning to BJ this time, Zhou Jing told his bestie Bai to deal with the Prado before National Day and buy a Range Rover and register it under the company's name. His bestie Bai could drive it on weekdays and Zhou Jing could drive it when he went back. He would buy a car for Teacher Gu after they moved into the villa in Tangdu.

Before Chen Jiaqian graduated, Zhou Jing planned to buy her a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, a villa and a luxury car, hoping that this would offset some of the damage Zhou Jing had done to the girl's feelings.

"Then sell it!"

Gu Jia was just planning to have the boy sell the car, to avoid people throwing things at him or scolding him while he was driving it, and it would also be easy for others to gossip about him, which would have a negative impact on the Ideal brand.

"How is the second round of financing for Pornhub going?"

When the car stopped at the traffic light, Zhou Jing pinched Gu Jia's thigh.

"There is no problem in the discussion. It just depends on which investments we choose."

Gu Jia pinched the boy's hand and said, "Count X rice as one, and let Qin Zhengyu take care of the rest."

The number of P站 users has exceeded 20 million, and user stickiness continues to be maintained. Zhou Jing's goal is to build P站 into a platform with a knowledge search engine. Under this strategy, P站 has attracted more and more people from all walks of life to popularize scientific knowledge by posting, and its scale has reached the requirements for the second round of financing.

Many investment companies and investors have expressed their investment intentions to P站, including Xmi, Sequoia Capital, etc. Zhou Jing included Xmi in the second round of financing list as a way of giving face to the Beijing circle. Chuangzhi Technology and Xmi are both BJ companies, and their bosses have the same business, so they are bound to deal with each other.

If some kind of tacit understanding can be reached with Xiaomi, while each mobile phone manufacturer is competing, Lenovo, Coolpad, Meizu, Nokia and copycat smartphones can be eliminated sooner. If possible, even OPPO, vivo and others can be eliminated as soon as possible. This will be beneficial for Ideal Mobile, HUAWEI Mobile or Xiaomi, and will also be beneficial for the future voice of domestic mobile phone manufacturers in chip factories.

The fewer mobile phone manufacturers there are, the fewer choices there are for chip manufacturers and other suppliers. HUAWEI mobile phones will use self-developed chips in 14 and 15, and the choices of chip manufacturers will be further reduced. In addition, in order to compete with iPhone and Huawei, chip manufacturers will certainly not dare to raise prices too much. Mobile phone manufacturers will have greater profit margins, and greater profits will mean greater research and development potential, and there will be no need to crazy about charging speeds, pixels and other technologies.

“Why choose X meters?”

Gu Jia was a little puzzled. Not only was Xmi a competitor to Ideal, but Xmi also had a part to play in the fact that Ideal was criticized so much online.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. There are too many domestic mobile phone brands. Joining forces with one or two brands to eliminate some will benefit the remaining brands."

For Zhou Jing, matters between companies are all about interests. He can scheme against competitors as he pleases, but he should not be petty when it comes to cooperation.

Gu Jia understood that there are indeed too many domestic mobile phone brands now. There are more than ten domestic brands alone, and some of them should be eliminated.

"Little cutie."

After returning home, Zhou Jing called out to go to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"dad?"

In the bedroom, the little girl lying on the bed, hugging her legs and chewing her toes with relish was stunned for a moment, put down her feet, climbed to the side of the bed, and looked outside through the screen of the guardrail.

"Yes, Mom." Gu Jia returned to the bedroom, picked up the child, kissed him and said, "Do you miss Dad?"

"Uh~ Dad, Dad na~"

The little girl pouted her lips and tried hard to pronounce the word.

"Little cutie."

After washing his hands, Zhou Jing did not go into the bedroom immediately, but hid outside the door and called softly.

"Dad~ Hey, Dad~"

The little girl stretched her neck to look outside.

"Where's Dad?"

Gu Jia held the child and looked left and right.

Zhou Jing stuck his head out to look.

"Dad~ho, ho, dad bo~"

When the little girl saw Zhou Jing, she immediately lost her composure, stretched out her hands, and whined for a hug.

"Dad just came back and is tired. Let Dad rest for a while while Mommy holds you."

Gu Jia held the child tightly.

"He, he~ Wow~"

The little girl groaned a few times and then burst into tears, her eyes tearing up.

"Daddy, hold me, daddy, hold me. Even the little cutie is so cute when she cries. Give daddy a kiss."

Zhou Jing hugged the little girl and kissed her and said.

The little girl stopped crying and kissed Zhou Jing on the cheek. Zhou Jing turned to the other side and said, "Kiss this side, too."

The little girl gave him another kiss.

"The little cotton jacket is so cute."

Zhou Jing's heart was almost melted by the little cotton-padded jacket.

Gu Jia patted her daughter's butt and said, "Will you miss mom so much if she doesn't come home for a few days?"

"Say yes, tell mom, yes."

Zhou Jing gently wiped the little girl's tears.

"Huo~"

The little girl's lips are pouted roundly.

After preparing the meal, Wu Suqin held the child's hand and pretended to take him away, "Come with grandma so that mom and dad can have dinner, okay?"

"Hmm (three times) ah~"

The little girl leaned on Zhou Jing to indicate that it was not possible.

"Daddy will hold you while you eat."

Zhou Jing was reluctant to put down his little cotton-padded jacket and held the little girl while eating.

"Now that you can walk, you must be your father's follower."

Gu Jia pinched the child's feet and said.

They had noodles with soybean paste for dinner. Zhou Jing tasted a bite, rubbed the child's belly and said, "Are you hungry?"

"Ho~"

The little girl's tummy was itchy and she smiled cutely.

"From now on, I will tie you to Daddy. You will follow Daddy wherever he goes."

Gu Jia said as she looked at her daughter who was lying in Zhou Jing's arms with a comfortable look on her face.

"Dad, oh~"

Feeling the father's love that she hadn't seen for a few days, the little girl became talkative. She couldn't utter a complete sentence, and pursed her lips for two seconds, using "oh" to express what she wanted to say.

"Oh, Daddy misses you too. When Daddy is not at home, does your little cutie behave when sleeping at night?"

Zhou Jing said that he understood and that when talking to a child who couldn't speak yet, he just had to read the words and ask the child to respond randomly.

"Uh~"

The little girl responded in a baby voice.

Zhou Jing took a bite of noodles and continued, "Sleep well, did you eat well?"

"Ok!"

"It's delicious. The little cutie is such an obedient baby, eh."

"Ha~"

The little girl was as happy as if she had eaten candy.

Seeing her daughter happy, Gu Jia could understand why she was so attached to Zhou Jing. However, when it came to playing with and entertaining a child who couldn't speak yet, Gu Jia was not as good as Zhou Jing.

"I am born to be a father. It is a blessing to be reborn as your child."

Gu Jia sighed.
