Li Mingrui knows that Ren Zengfei recognized Ziguang's technology, but he still has some doubts about whether Ziguang can mass produce 69nm chips. After all, whether it can be manufactured and whether it can be mass produced are two different things.

There are many high and new technologies in the world, but they cannot be further developed because they cannot be used on a large scale. Therefore, it is very important to have a relatively large consumer market. This means that some technologies can be improved through investment at no cost, and finally achieve mass production. the goal of.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ren, our scientists have already begun to adjust the parameters of the lithography machine. Our goal is to achieve at least 80% of the chip formation rate, so that we can reduce the cost of the chip."

Ren Zengfei nodded and agreed. After all, when the chip cost is lowered, his mobile phone will have room to lower the price. It has no major impact on the flagship phone, but it has a particularly large impact on the low-end models.

"By the way, I have something to tell you. Our company actually designs its own chips, but we don’t have the ability to produce chips by ourselves, so we wanted to find a capable chip manufacturing company to process it. We choose not many factories. Now that your Ziguang has production capacity, I just don’t know if you have the strength to take this job?"

Li Mingrui did not immediately agree. After all, he is not an expert in this area, so he needs the scientists under his hand to come and evaluate before making a decision.

So Li Mingrui called Feng Guofeng, who was far away in Jiangcheng, and asked him to take the fastest flight.

The next morning, Feng Guofeng arrived at the Warwick Industrial Park eagerly. Li Mingrui went to the door to pick him up. By the way, he talked about the situation with him in general, and he was able to prepare in advance.

Ren Zengfei has already arranged scientific researchers on this side. After all, the next thing is technical and can only be handed over to technicians from both sides to communicate.

Feng Guofeng followed a few people to the laboratory, while Ren Zengfei and Li Mingrui were chatting and drinking tea.

An hour later, Feng Guofeng came back and made an "OK" gesture to Li Mingrui. After receiving the gesture, Li Mingrui knew it well.

There are no major technical issues. The next step is to discuss specific matters of cooperation, including confidentiality agreements and the price of buying chips.

As for the production of chips designed by Warwick, engineers from Warwick are required to work on the site at Ziguang, so as to ensure the confidentiality of Warwick's own chips.

In the end, Warwick and Ziguang signed an order for 20 million 158nm chips.

"Sorry, President Li, after all, we are also to ensure stability, so we can only allocate a small amount of orders to you. After all, we have been cooperating with Qualcomm for a long time, and we cannot suddenly reduce the demand there. "

"It's okay, understand. After all, the other party is an old chip manufacturer, and it is relatively reliable for the stability of production capacity and chip performance."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your understanding, and I hope we have a happy cooperation."

Ren Zengfei and Li Mingrui shook hands, and then everyone went to the most luxurious hotel in Shenzhen for a meal.

On the plane returning to Jiangcheng, Feng Guofeng praised Warwick’s scientific research capabilities and said that Warwick’s strength in mobile phone chip design should not be underestimated, but unfortunately there is no actual production capacity.

"After all, Warwick is only a network communications company. It is impossible to spend a lot of additional resources on chip manufacturing. How many companies can now include the upstream and downstream industrial chains of the industry? After all, it is a division of labor society."

Li Mingrui directly stated the main reason why Warwick did not engage in chip production.

After arriving at the research institute in Jiangcheng, Li Mingrui gathered everyone together and announced the good news, and then came to the celebration party to commend the technicians who worked hard.

In order to prevent someone from coming to Ziguang to dig people, Li Mingrui simply took out part of Ziguang’s equity and bundled these equity with all employees. Once an employee leaves, the equity in his hand will be automatically taken back without any compensation.

In this way, it is equivalent to tying all the key employees to the chariot of Ziguang. Of course, if employees hold the shares of Ziguang, they can naturally get Ziguang’s profit dividends. In this way, the more profits the company earns, The higher the income of all key employees.

In addition, employees can actively sell their equity, but only to internal personnel, so that even if employees suddenly need money someday, they can also realize cash in a short time.

"Boss, I'm afraid Ziguang won't be listed in this way, right?"

Liu Zhenhua acted as the operator who completed the distribution of Ziguang’s equity, and privately talked to Li Mingrui about the drawbacks of employee stock ownership.

"Don't worry, I won't let Ziguang go public. Just like Warwick, I don't want Ziguang's development to be affected by capital. After all, scientific research is not anxious, and capital is more impatient, without capital. Can endure three to five years without return."

Li Mingrui is also a capitalist himself, so he understands capital well.

Another reason is that once the company goes public, it also means that the company has no secrets at all. Currently, Li Mingrui does not want to be too conspicuous, especially since he does not want Ziguang to compete with foreign chip giants so quickly.

As a high-tech enterprise, talents are the top priority. Therefore, Li Mingrui not only used equity to tie everyone together, but also made a promise to allocate houses to employees. In this way, most scientific researchers are free from worries. As a result, employees can devote themselves to scientific research.

Ziguang can already make money on his own, so Li Mingrui doesn't need to invest a lot of resources in it. Li Mingrui suddenly loses a lot of pressure.

In order to realize the settlement of all key technicians, Li Mingrui specifically called Tang Jiacheng and asked him to allocate some resources to Jiangcheng to develop real estate. By the way, Ziguang employees built several buildings as rewards for key employees.

When Li Mingrui told everyone the news, some employees even started calling their family members, wanting their wives and children to move to Jiangcheng.

Seeing that everything in the institute was arranged, Li Mingrui decided to return to the magic city. After all, he had been away from home for a few days. If he didn't go back, the two little guys at home would almost not recognize him.

That night, Li Mingrui and Liu Zhenhua took the evening flight back to the magic city. It was early in the morning when they arrived home.

In order not to disturb Ma Suyan's sleep, Li Mingrui had to fall asleep in the guest room first.
