"What if, I mean what if, what if Hanxin No. 1 is indeed suspected of fraud?" Hu Zhengming asked.
Zhou Xin was categorical: “Open to the public, we simultaneously held a press conference to disclose all this, and publicly condemned this behavior of Jiaotong University, from Chen Jin to his R&D team to the experts and scholars who helped him make technical appraisals.
I'll do whatever I can to make this a big deal. "
Hu Zhengming did not expect Zhou Xin to be so determined. Although he had stayed in America for many years, he was still a Chinese in essence. He hoped to resolve the matter and maintain the dignity on the surface: "Would this make things worse?" Our relationship with China is at loggerheads.
I attended the press conference of Hanxin One, and there were a large number of high-ranking officials supporting Hanxin One. "
Zhou Xin actually thought about whether to alert the Jiaotong University through an anonymous report when Chen Jin first joined Jiaotong University, saying that Chen Jin’s resume contained false elements. The other person had worked at Motorola and IBM, but had never been a chip design engineer.
Later Zhou Xin gave up this idea. Why? Zhou Xin believes that instead of stopping this incident at that time, it is better to wait until Hanxin No. 1 comes out and make it a landmark anti-counterfeiting event in the academic world.
At his level, he is strong enough to do whatever he wants without breaking the rules.
Zhou Xin said: "Professor, I have had similar thoughts. Can we communicate with Shenhai first, and then communicate with Jiaotong University, and quietly handle this matter.
But if you do this, there is a high probability that no one in the chain will be punished as they should be, and similar things may happen again in the future.
We realized after the Hanxin No. 1 press conference that there might be a problem with it because we knew that Chen Jin’s career experience was not related to chip design. If something similar happened again in the future, there would be no such coincidence for us. Knowing so early, why not find out until the consequences are serious?
When more serious consequences occur, China may stop funding support for all chip research and development projects under the idea that overcorrection must be excessive.
It is better to warn people with similar thoughts from the root this time, and be prepared to bear the consequences before doing it. "
After Hanxin was finally exposed, nothing similar happened in the academic field of chips. Instead, the industry began to engage in similar tricks.
Zhou Xin continued: "As for the rift between Xinxin and Shenhai City, or the rift with China, I think this matter should be looked at from two aspects. First, the affected individuals, They will definitely think bad things about us.
Can this idea affect Xinxin’s investment and operations in China? If the resentment of a very small number of people, or the resentment caused by us doing the right thing, can affect Xinxin Technology’s tens of billions of dollars in China’s layout, then I think I need to re-examine China’s business operations. business environment. "
The last sentence was not a joke or a threat, but Zhou Xin’s true thoughts. Whether it is now or in the future, the scale of tens of billions of dollars is extremely exaggerated.
Zhou Xin continued: "Professor, you don't have to worry too much. No matter what, this matter will only be limited to a small range and will not have an impact on Xinxin Technology as a whole."
Zhou Xin still has some confidence.
After reaching an agreement with Hu Zhengming, Zhou Xin got two original pieces of Hanxin No. 1 from Cao Yongluo. Cao Yongluo said on the cross-border phone call: "The value of Hanxin is indeed high. I heard their professionals say that Hanxin It may save our country tens of billions of foreign exchange losses.
Since 2000, we have spent tens of billions of RMB every year to import DSP chips. After Hanxin No. 1 is subsequently industrialized, we can save a lot of foreign exchange on this. That’s why the people in the Technology Department are so willing to go to Shenzhen. Hai went to attend Hanxin’s press conference.
Hanxin and Xinxin joining forces may not be a strong cooperation. "Cao Yongluo said.
Cao Yongluo is in Pengcheng, and his source of information is mainly Yanjing. Naturally, he does not know the problem of Hanxin.
After receiving Hanxin No. 1, Xinxin Technology kept one piece in Shenhai for testing, and then sent the other piece to Silicon Valley and provided it to Zhou Xin. Zhou Xin found a special testing institution in Silicon Valley for testing.
After receiving Hanxin No. 1, Zhou Xin secretly lamented Cao Yongluo's magical powers. As an industry insider, Zhou Xin had heard many rumors related to Hanxin One. He knew that there were only 10 original chips in Hanxin One.
Chen Jin bought 10 tablets from abroad and then polished off the Motorola logo and replaced them with the words Hanxin. This quantity made them as precious as the treasures of heaven and earth in Xianxia.
It is not easy for Cao Yongluo to get 2 out of 10 pieces.
Zhou Xin was looking for the answer once he had the results, and it didn't even take a week to find a specialized agency to take the test.
The Matrix brand was bought from Motorola, and Hanxin No. 1 is Motorola's 568 chip. Zhou Xin found Motorola to provide evidence, and it was very easy to find them to jointly sue Chen Jin and the subjects and individuals involved. thing.
"Professor, have you read the investigation report I sent you?"
Hu Zhengming said: "After seeing it, Chen Jin's behavior was worse than I expected.
We have also done tests. I originally thought that Hanxin No. 1 just couldn't meet the standards they advertised. During the test, we did find that Hanxin No. 1 did not meet the advertised standards.
For example, Hanxin No. 1 cannot realize the MP3 playback and fingerprint recognition functions mentioned in the demonstration. It does not have 208 pins, only 144 pins, etc.
As a result, I didn't expect that the chip itself was actually a direct use of Motorola's DSP chip.
This is too exaggerated. Chen Jin’s behavior is far beyond my imagination. How did this pass the technical appraisal? There must be a problem somewhere in the middle process. "Hu Zhengming was very angry about this behavior.
Hu Zhengming even felt sad: "I knew the person who came to Chen's platform at that time, Academician Zou. He was a material worker. He was the core developer of the Type A separation membrane, the core component of the atomic bomb.
Later, when he went to be the director of the Shenhai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology of the Academy of Sciences, it was the first time I came to lecture at Yan University. After hearing about it, he insisted on letting me give lectures there.
He shouldn't be unable to see Hanxin's problems. How could he let it pass the acceptance inspection and claim that it meets world-class standards?
Xu Juyan and I also know each other. When Huajing was founded, he served as the chief engineer of Huajing. I have talked with him several times about Huajing’s chip industry. Zou Shichang couldn’t see that it was possible. After all, he I come from a background in materials chemistry, so I may just follow what others say.
But Xu Juyan was one of the first batch of semiconductor talents after the founding of China. He started to be exposed to integrated circuits in 1956. It is impossible for him not to see that there is a problem with Hanxin. What's going on? "Hu Zhengming didn't know what to say anymore.
In 1956, not long after the founding of Hua Guo, two senior experts, Huang Kun and Xie Xide, opened a professional semiconductor training class at Yanda. In this class, Wang Yangyuan, later the chairman and one of the founders of SMIC, There is the chief engineer of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and there is also Xu Juyan.
Zhou Xin said: “Perhaps in the two decades when China’s chip industry has been developing slowly, everyone’s original intentions have long since changed.
You just said that Xu Juyan was Huajing's chief engineer before. Huajing was only successful because of Huajing's failure. If he has seen more failures, his mood will be different. "
Hu Zhengming sighed: "I support you in making this matter a big deal. Even the academicians are cooperating with them. If you don't make a big deal, there may be some trouble in the future."
Hu Zhengming continued: "Fortunately, you discovered the connection between Hanxin No. 1 and Motorola's DSP chip. Otherwise, we would have nothing to do with Hanxin and Chen Jin just based on the chip itself."
For Hanxin, it can be said that they have not reached the level of publicity. This is normal and is due to publicity needs.
However, Hanxin No. 1 and Motorola's DSP chips are exactly the same except for their logos, which cannot be explained in any case.
Hu Zhengming reminded: "There is one last question, where did these two sample chips come from? If they come from an improper source, I'm afraid that Jiaotong University will not recognize them and say that they are not Hanxin No. 1."
Zhou Xin said: "Don't worry, this is the sample that Jiaotong University submitted to the Ministry of Information Industry for filing. I will ask the Ministry of Information Industry to find the filing declaration form and issue a letter to explain this matter clearly to the Ministry of Information Industry. They estimate that I can’t wait to cut it off with Hanxin and Chen Jin as soon as possible.”
After Zhou Xin explained the cause and effect of the matter to Cao Yongluo on the phone, Cao Yongluo opened his mouth on the other end of the phone: "Zhou Xin, you have tricked me. Shen Hai just held a press conference, you are going to slap them in the face with your back foot." .
You also asked me to cooperate with you in getting a letter from the Ministry of Information Industry to explain. This really screwed me up. "
Zhou Xin said: "What are you talking about? Sooner or later, someone will find out about this matter. Chen Jin did it so crudely. Do you think you can hide it for the rest of your life?"
This kind of thing cannot be deceived by everyone at all times. Sooner or later, someone will find out. The sooner it is discovered, the less damage will be done to the entire academic community and even the industry. It has also been cut off for the Ministry of Information Industry to avoid subsequent accountability. On their heads.
This is a good thing for them, and I believe you can make things right. "
Cao Yongluo smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone: "This matter is really difficult to handle. I will try my best to help you find them a letter, but I cannot guarantee confidentiality.
You know that news spreads the fastest in this kind of agency. I guess I will find someone to help you issue the letter, and then Shen Hai will know about it. "
Zhou Xin said: "I understand. All I need is a letter. Only with the letter can my evidence chain be complete."
Things were as Cao Yongluo expected. The letter from the Ministry of Information Industry was sent from Yanjing the next day. Before New Core Technology received it, Shenhai came to visit: "Mr. Hu, the relevant personnel of Han core will definitely handle it, but We hope this matter is handled as quietly as possible.
Don't make it public. After all, we just held a press conference to certify the technology. Holding a press conference behind the scenes will have a negative impact. "
Hu Zhengming said: "Sorry, this matter is not something I can decide. Zhou Xin said he would handle this matter personally. All the evidence is with him. Although he is my student, I have no way to influence his decision."
"Can you persuade him? If this matter is made public, it will have a great impact on Shen Hai's reputation."
Hu Zhengming said there was nothing he could do: "I tried to persuade him, but he couldn't be persuaded. This is something I can't stop. I can only say that I will try my best to help Shen Hai persuade him not to make things worse."
While Hu Zhengming was arguing with Shen Hai, Zhou Xin had already held a press conference in Pengcheng, with Cao Yongluo serving as his plenipotentiary representative.
The southern media does not think it is a big deal to watch the excitement. It is Shenhai City that makes a fool of itself. What does it have to do with Pengcheng?
Originally, Pengcheng was in direct competition with Shenhai at the city level.
Cao Yongluo himself is also a well-known entrepreneur. He has a lot of media resources in Pengcheng. With the two major bonuses of Zhou Xin and Motorola, almost all reporters from well-known media were present.
The president of Motorola China still looked confused and didn't know what was going on, but was arranged by the headquarters to come to Pengcheng to attend this press conference.
The overall atmosphere was very serious. The scene was almost only decorated in black, white and gray tones. Cao Yongluo walked onto the podium with a stack of speech scripts and his face was extremely heavy:
“Today, I am holding a press conference here on behalf of Mr. Zhou Xin to respond to the Hanxin No. 1 press conference held by Jiaotong University in Shenhai half a month ago.
The following is Mr. Zhou’s original text:”
The reporters in the audience had a premonition that something big was about to happen, and they came to Pengcheng to hold a press conference regarding Shen Hai.
Involving Jiaotong University and Zhou Xin, what is this if it's not a big deal?
After Cao Yongluo finished speaking on the stage, a short video appeared on the screen behind him:
"Hanxin No.1 has been tested internally by Motorola and is believed to be the DSP chip of the Motorola 568 series. Its source code was downloaded from Motorola's intranet. We have found the employee who helped Chen Jin download the source code and we will pursue the case." The responsibilities of all those involved in this matter, including involved entities like Shenhai Jiaotong University."
The reporters in the audience did not know who the white man in the video was. The president of Motorola China knew that it was Mr. Galvin, the president of Motorola.
Cao Yongluo explained: "This was Mr. Galvin, the president of Motorola, and we also invited Mr. Robertson, the president of Motorola China, to attend. Motorola will pursue Dr. Chen Jin's legal liability in the future.
I continued to read Mr. Zhou Xin’s words:
The Hanxin incident has caused serious damage to the credibility of scientific research and technological innovation in China. This is not just a problem for Chen Jin alone, nor is it just a problem that no one in Chen Jin’s research team came forward to report Chen Jin. problems along the entire process chain.
I would like to ask the experts in the technical appraisal team, how did you certify that Hanxin No. 1 is original? Chen Jin stole the source code from Motorola. He had no idea what the source code meant. Why did Chen Jin claim at the press conference that Hanxin One can achieve many functions that Motorola’s original chips cannot achieve?”
