Wen Hu said**.China has long been in a weak position in the field of chips.Edited by Fox Says**.
Data shows that China's chip imports exceeded $300 billion in 2018.
This shows that China's chip technology is still not up to standard, resulting in a very serious dependence on imports of chip products.
Fortunately, the person who changed the situation finally appeared, and she was He Tingbo, who was known as the "Mother of the Qilin".
He Tingbo has been dealing with chips for 22 years, and finally researched Chinese's own chips.
In the past 22 years, how did He Tingbo break through one difficulty after another and finally make Chinese chips come out?
He Tingbo. In 1969, He Tingbo was born in Changsha, Hunan.
From an early age, she excelled in her studies, especially in science.
When she grew up, she was admitted to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 1987, majoring in semiconductor physics. After that, He Tingbo studied until he graduated from graduate school.
In 1996, Huawei was not well-known internationally, but at that time, Huawei's desire was to go international.
To this end, Huawei needs a large number of excellent engineers and technicians to study chips.
And He Tingbo knew that Huawei was recruiting with a high salary, so he immediately came to apply, and in this way, He Tingbo joined Huawei.
In the first few years of joining Huawei, He Tingbo, like other engineers, was not entrusted with important responsibilities.
But not long after, He Tingbo's excellent work ability was discovered, she can not only endure hardships but also be particularly good at studying, under her leadership, the team has overcome many technical difficulties.
For a long time, most Chinese manufacturers did not support China's independent research and development of chips.
The investment in R&D chips is large, the technology is difficult, and more importantly, the results cannot be guaranteed. Instead of developing it yourself, it is better to buy it directly from abroad.
But Ren Zhengfei realized that if you want Chinese brands to really go global, without the support of core technology, it will not work to rely only on foreign imports.
Once a foreign country imposes a technological blockade on China, China will face problems such as chip shortages.
Ren. Now it seems that it was Ren Zhengfei's foresight that saved Huawei 20 years later.
In 2004, after thinking about it, Ren Zhengfei finally decided to establish HiSilicon Semiconductor, which specializes in chip research.
He found He Tingbo and said"I'll give you 20,000 people, attack chip research and development, you can give enough money and people, you must make your own chips, you must stand up. ”
He Tingbo accepted the daunting task, and since then, Ren Zhengfei has provided her with $400 million a year for research.
He Tingbo recruited talents from all over the world, and the team gradually grew, providing a solid talent guarantee for the research and development of Huawei chips.
After 10 years of research, the Kirin chip developed by Huawei finally entered the market in 2014, and Huawei chip achieved a leap from scratch.
Although Huawei already has Kirin chips, due to domestic technology, Kirin chips have always had a big gap with chips in developed countries, so they are also called "spare chips".
In 2019, Huawei's chips faced a turning point in fate.
On May 15 of that year, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced a shocking announcement: Huawei had severed all business cooperation with U.S. companies.
The purpose is to sanction China's Huawei, which is known as the ZTE incident.
The Qualcomm chip that Huawei mobile phones have been using, this wave of operations in the United States is equivalent to making Huawei run out of food. But what the United States didn't expect was that Huawei still had a plan B.
The leader of Plan B is He Tingbo, if there is no US sanction this time, He Tingbo will also lead the team to continue to develop the "spare tire chip" that still has a large gap with overseas chips.
The ZTE incident made the "spare tire chip" have to come out to support Huawei.
After the ZTE incident, He Tingbo knew that she had to launch Plan B, and she took the employees who fought side by side with her to face the difficulties.
After working hard day and night, it was finally announced in August 2019 that the Chinese chip Kirin 980 was officially turned positive.
On August 31 of the same year, the Kirin 980 appeared at the 2018 International Consumer Electronics Show in Germany, announcing the advent of China's chip era, and the whole country cheered for it.
Huawei has shown the whole world what China's power is, and China no longer has to rely on foreign chips.
The emergence of the Kirin 980 not only saved Huawei, which was sanctioned by the United States, but also allowed Huawei's transaction volume to reach 200 million in 2019.
He Tingbo and the entire team gave Huawei a satisfactory answer.
Ren. Since Ren Zhengfei officially appointed He Tingbo as the chief director of chip research in 2004.
He Tingbo began more than 20 years of research, He Tingbo, as the first female head of a mobile phone chip company in China, is also the female housekeeper behind the Kirin chip.
In the team, no matter how big her position is, He Tingbo still prefers employees to call her "He Gong", which makes her always know that she is here to engage in research and development.
He Gong's R&D spirit makes many employees more motivated at work, and she deserves to be the spirit of the team.
No matter how difficult the problem is and how difficult the bottleneck is to break through, He Gong is always so calm and relaxed, and the whole team follows her and becomes more confident in research.
He Tingbo said the most in the team, "It doesn't matter if you do it slowly, it doesn't matter if you don't do it well, HiSilicon will always come out on top!".”
He Tingbo's self-confidence is ** in her profession, and her calm and calm ** in her persistence, she said:"I'm proud, I'm an engineer, I'm the one who invented things".
These qualities in her make people understand why she was able to lead Huawei to develop Chinese chips.
China is making progress on all fronts, which makes the West seem extremely threatening.
In the face of many international "difficulties", only people with courage and conviction can lead Chinese enterprises to overcome difficulties.
He Tingbo. He Tingbo's deeds make people understand that despite the countless difficulties they face, as long as they dare to think and do, and forge ahead, Chinese companies can shock the whole world.
In the future, there will be more excellent researchers like "He Gong", and China will be stronger in the future!
