Zhang Yadong / text
Dear Leading Teachers, Dear Entrepreneurs and Guests, Hello!
Today, on behalf of Ziguang Group, I am very pleased to receive the honor of '2016-2017 China's Most Admired Enterprise'.
Here to tell you about what guests are purple.
Looking back, Purple was established 30 years, was established in 1988. I just want to say, was established 30 years, 'eight thousand miles Cloud and the Moon', 'Phoenix Nirvana, bathing fire reborn', purple is a subsidiary of Tsinghua University , Stripped in 1999, Ziguang shares listed (71.710, 3.67, 5.39%) listed in 2009 mixed change - our real development is from 2009. In 2013, we launched the acquisition of mobile phone chip business news - this Is our bridgehead project, completed the acquisition of Xinhua III in 2015, construction of Wuhan Yangtze River Storage in 2016, and full cooperation with Intel in 2017. We spent seven years investing 17 billion U.S. dollars in the layout Today's violet industry .Today, the assets reached 20000000000, the staff reached 37000 people, there are 4 listed companies, sales revenue reached 45000000000, and in 2009 (eight years ago), purple scale of assets only 1300000000, Sales revenue is only 400 million.
In what way did purple achieve this performance in seven years? Our own summary is: 'one positioning', a core world-class high-tech industry group from core to cloud; 'two paths' for independent innovation And international cooperation. In recent years, the two sides have carried out large-scale technical cooperation, market cooperation and channel cooperation with international giants. Some acquisition activities have also been completed. Internally, the company adheres to the principle of 'three unions', corporate strategy and national strategy Combined with the combination of state-owned identity and market mechanism and the combination of local teams and international talents.UK Development is more of a two-wheel drive of endogenous development and extension of development, achieving rapid growth at such a best time, especially in the market mechanism , Under which an enterprise can inherit the market mechanism is behind the need, this market mechanism, we understand is the decision-making mechanism, employing mechanism, incentive mechanism. Today, we have our own advantages: national strategy, state-owned holding, market mechanism And college resources.
I stand here today and I would like to say that we have achieved this result but at this very moment a great many things have just begun and what we want most to say is to cherish this great era.We are now engaged in the most heavily invested chip semiconductor industry To tell you a data, the global semiconductor market size is 400 billion US dollars, of which two thirds of the market demand from China, the annual import of semiconductor chips 260 billion US dollars, annual imports of oil is 210 billion US dollars, far exceeding the oil Import volume.Our own production is only 13 billion US dollars, and are low-end products.Every year imports spend 1.8 trillion yuan.In such circumstances, the strategic choice and strategic positioning made by Ziguang, is based on our age, this National Recognition: We have a huge local market - just about 60% of the global production is consumed each year; we have an annual increment of 75 trillion yuan; huge local talent - 40 years of reform and opening up, apart from a huge economic gain Growth, but also for China's economic development has accumulated vast numbers of scientific and technological personnel; accumulated a lot of outstanding entrepreneurs and local strong talent Market.
The biggest feature of the semiconductor industry is technology-intensive, capital-intensive, talent-intensive, of course, there is one: the fierce competition Purple core layout cloud industry, the chip section in the design field Spreadtrum core production base in Wuhan, Nanjing and Chengdu storage Base, cloud network plate is purple shares.
The Yangtze River stores 1 billion US dollars to build national storage chips, is the first independent intellectual property rights of the memory chips, of which 230 billion US dollars each year of which 560 billion US dollars are storage chips, before which no one is made. Spent three years developing 32-storey 64G memory chips.Zhanrui mobile phone chip shipments of 700 million sets each year, accounting for 27% of the global market.Electronic ID cards, financial cards, sim cards, purple light is the only domestic 10 million-level chips. Cloud network plate, security hardware market, IT services in the world market, server market, storage market, are the first domestic share .We spent seven years to create the purple today, The development has laid a solid foundation.
Looking to the future, today's theme is the best conclusion - 'mission to lead the future', there is a word purple, the dream of changing the world. We will continue to adhere to our vision, adhere to our strategy, adhere to the core from the cloud industry goals Respect is the need to work hard, is responsible for the need to make contributions, the internal is to customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, shareholder satisfaction, external social satisfaction, social recognition. And we are engaged in the industry is Faced with a strong international competitiveness, Ziguang today won the honor of respected companies, we respect more forward in science and technology enterprises.This is a difficult road, as the purple people, I just want to say that the mission, to tease forward , 'Hill missed a mountain block', 'do not break Loulan eventually'.
Thank you!

3. Mindray released a variety of fingerprint module new, optical fingerprint technology is more optimistic;
(Set micro / Wen Deng Wen) Fingerprint recognition chip industry, after two years of rapid growth, has become the mainstream of smartphones standard, market penetration rate has also exceeded 50% However, fingerprinting has been the technology, there is no stop hacking And anti-crack game, understanding of the fingerprinting product working principle and identification algorithm, always find the corresponding cracking conditions.
'By foil means, we can achieve a fingerprint cracked smart phones.' Mindray Microelectronics Co., Ltd. Suzhou, chairman and chief technology officer Li Yang Yuan said recently that the fingerprint chip industry led by the FBI in the early design fingerprint chip technology route of the algorithm , The first consideration is to avoid security risks.At present, the market has mass production of fingerprint recognition chip can be cracked under certain conditions.Any commercial software (including ios, windows, android), may be in the user process Found problems, usually by pushing the user to solve the patch.
Safety value is higher than safety cost
Then face the fingerprint identification industry has existed problems, but also how to deal with? LiYangYuan in the 'security fingerprint article life --Merui micro security fingerprint technology conference' on the one hand, before malicious attackers found the problem, on the other hand But also to urge the industry to correct the problem and avoid further proliferation of the problem.This is also the value of corporate research and safety, not the cost of safety, but to study the cost of breaking the security industry.
Mindray Microelectronics Co., Ltd. Suzhou Mindray, Chief Technology Officer Li Yang Yuan
Li Yangyuan further said that Mindray Micro is currently optimizing the level of exclusive algorithms to avoid such problems. 'Fingerprinting has two key elements: one is safety and the other is quality.' At the event venue, Mindray Micro released three An embedded fingerprint module product line, namely Microarray ECS 120, ECS 160 and Microarray ECS 256. The Microarray ECS256 size of 256 × 360, for the security industry, in line with ID card specifications; and for intelligent security applications such as door locks IoT The Microarray ECS120 and ECS160 series realize the compatibility of various system configurations and better achieve the structural design integration under the Internet of Things era.
The technical advantages of this embedded fingerprint module with ring-free anti-static, ceramic anti-knife, anti-attack algorithm, the state secrecy level security processor, Bluetooth low energy, the smallest size (PCBA 18mm x 18mm), built-in ID2 Li Zhiyuan Li Yang Yuan said that from the basic configuration, security configuration to the wireless configuration, the new product has the structural backward compatibility, high reliability, high security performance advantages, will help terminal manufacturers continue to upgrade products.
Visible in the smart phone market, Mindray Micro is also developing the IoT market, Li Yangyuan called the 'two legs to walk.' Li Yang Yuan said in the field of IoT, Mindray Micro has two roles, the first one we as a sensor IC's role , Is the sensor standard and fingerprint recognition algorithm to provide the appropriate advice.Second, we are also a fingerprint module manufacturers a role.Merie micro fingerprint module to do different levels to enhance, to solve the problem of information security, and the lock factory to continue Solve the physical needs of traditional strong, that is, the issue of physical 3C, this is a more in line with the technical strengths of all parties. Li Yang Yuan stressed that the security of fingerprint chip industry and many industries are not the same, it is a lot of industries to the next level Layers of each level can be set standards, and security is buckled up each link, a rigorous deduction into a chain.This chain of work to be done by the terminal manufacturers is unrealistic, there should be a group of companies in the background all Solve, give the terminal manufacturer a simple installation standard, this is the best industry solution.
Under the screen fingerprint recognition optical fingerprint program
Mindray Micro that is making progress along both sides is obviously still dominated by the mobile phone market. In the application of mobile phone fingerprint recognition technology, Mindray Micro is also cutting into the fingerprint identification technology of the next generation screen.
'Mindray Micro's under-screen fingerprint ultrasound and optical solutions are in the normal course of progress, and the optical solutions are based on my estimation of these actual progress in the industry unless someone wants to impress with infrared. "Li Yangyuan said that infrared acquisition Fingerprint has an inherent defect, that is, we use infrared reflection of visible light through the ink to draw a pattern, plus we now have seen many of the algorithms have such defects, draw a pattern to put it cracked, engage in bad will Let screen fingerprints are easily cracked.
Of course, if it is done with visible light, this is indeed very difficult, which is related to the structure of the OLED.One of the manufacturers open the OLED, resulting in reduced resolution, perhaps in order to install the fingerprints may not expensive, the cost value of the OLED can be relatively more expensive .
LiYangYuan revealed that the difficulty of optics OLED remain fixed, and the cost of ultrasound is the material, Qualcomm ultrasound program is also stuck in the material above. There are two kinds of ultrasonic materials, one is high temperature a low temperature, low temperature is too low temperature , Probably more than a hundred can still live, so consumer electronics okay, industry can not; and high temperature materials than other high temperature, so the normal design of ultrasound in fact to explore.
However, at present, judging from the progress of application in the market, the fingerprinting technology of the screen will introduce the mass production of the mobile terminal into the mass production in 2018, and achieve commercialization. However, whether the optical fingerprint technology or the ultrasonic solution wins the game depends on the feedback of market products User's voice.
4. In the artificial intelligence war chips or into the United States and China compete trump card
Figure: China will overtake the United States by 2030 in the field of artificial intelligence
According to investors Beijing time November 28 report, the United States has an enviable lead in the artificial intelligence technology out of the laboratory, into practical application.The United States has this advantage is Alphabet, Facebook and Apple, etc. the company.
But the Chinese government and the tech elite plan to surpass the United States in artificial intelligence by 2030.
In the field of artificial intelligence, China has many advantages: Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent and other giants have not only invested heavily in artificial intelligence research, but also the recruitment of top talent in the world.
With a large population and a large amount of data to be used in the training of artificial intelligence systems, it is reasonable to think that China will make a breakthrough in the development of computer algorithms.
But China also has a big underdog: lagging behind the US semiconductor industry in producing high-end chips, which are mostly sourcing artificial intelligence chips from NVIDIA. Intel is also pushing hard for artificial intelligence.
David Kanter, head of chip industry consulting at Real World Insights, said that "most AI chips are being developed by US companies and it will take quite a while for China to overtake the United States in the field of artificial intelligence chips."
UBS forecasts that the market for artificial intelligence chips will grow from 6 billion U.S. dollars in 2016 to 35 billion U.S. dollars in 2021. But artificial intelligence is more than just chip sales.
Artificial intelligence technology will revolutionize the economy, and artificial intelligence has always been called 'winner-take-all' technology, meaning that the advantages of the winning companies and nations will always enjoy the advantages.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that countries taking the lead in the field of artificial intelligence will gain an advantage in global affairs. "Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia but for the whole of mankind. Being a leader in the field of artificial intelligence , Will become the master of the world '.
Putin's question is: Although its military electronics are first class, Russia does not have a high-end commodity chip.
All AI software is inseparable from the power of computing.One aspect of AI warfare is the development of artificial intelligence chips for data centers, autonomous vehicles, robots, smartphones, drones and other devices.
Gary Dickerson, chief executive of chip equipment maker Applied Materials, said in an interview that the 'artificial intelligence architecture leader war' was the biggest battle we had in our lifetime, saying that the dedicated chip for artificial intelligence software Coming soon.
Currently, the United States is at the forefront of establishing artificial intelligence companies and commercial deployments, and Fortune 500 companies in the United States are pushing artificial intelligence tools into areas such as finance, healthcare, energy, agriculture and cybersecurity.
Companies such as Apple, Alphabet, Facebook and Microsoft have made advances in using artificial intelligence for speech recognition, Internet search and image classification. Amazon's artificial intelligence technology is being used in cloud computing services and smart speakers.
China Rises in the Field of Artificial Intelligence
China plans to overtake the United States in the field of artificial intelligence.
Chirag Dekate, a high-performance computing analyst at market research firm Gartner, said: "China plans to fight a protracted war and the United States is pushing artificial intelligence innovations in both software and hardware. In the early stages of artificial intelligence, The United States is walking in front of any other country, but China sees artificial intelligence competition as a marathon.
The Chinese government announced in July this year a three-step artificial intelligence development strategy and is planning to become a leader in global artificial intelligence by 2030.
Talent is the key to China's artificial intelligence strategy. Chinese research institutes publish artificial intelligence papers faster and the number of patents in robots and other fields is rapidly increasing. Chinese Internet companies have set up artificial intelligence research departments in Silicon Valley. Baidu and other Chinese companies have also adopted the high salary Attract the world's top AI talent to join.
China urgently needs to develop high-end artificial intelligence chips by 2030. Temasek's Vertex said in a report on China that 'computing power is one of the foundational elements of artificial intelligence and of strategic importance. The control over the core technology supply chain Which may strengthen China's ability to deploy artificial intelligence systems in the future. '
Artificial intelligence strategy of American chip maker
Just a few years ago, the AI research project also called for hundreds of computers to be networked and run complex software.Market research firm CBI Insights said in a report that a key to the popularity of artificial intelligence is a new wave of artificial intelligence chips .
NVIDIA has become an early leader in the field of artificial intelligence chips. The strength of NVIDIA is its powerful 'parallel processing capability' that allows its PC graphics chips to run AI software.
Baidu is NVIDIA's partner in autonomous vehicles, and NVIDIA said in September that Alibaba and Tencent will use their artificial intelligence chips in data centers.
Intel also completed several acquisitions in the area of artificial intelligence, and Intel said it is working with Facebook to develop artificial intelligence chips for cloud computing services.
In the United States, developing artificial intelligence chips is more than just traditional semiconductor companies. Google's strategy is to converge software and chip technologies with its TensorFlow data center software running on its own 'TPU' chip.
Apple iPhone X equipped with artificial intelligence technology, A11 bionic chips that support face recognition technology.Analysts said the A11 bionic chip is just Apple's entry into the field of artificial intelligence chips.
U.S. government protects high-end chip technology
The U.S. government has been quite wary of protecting high-end chip technology.
The Trump administration halted Chinese-owned acquisitions of Lattice Semiconductor Corp. in September this year on national security grounds. Lattice's programmable software technology can be used to develop artificial intelligence chips.
In 2015, the Obama administration banned Intel, Nvidia and AMD from selling high-end computer chips to China.
Chinese scientists launched the Taihu Lake, one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, just a year after some observers saw the light of the Taihu Lake as a sign of China's competitiveness in the field of artificial intelligence chips.
China invests heavily in artificial intelligence
China is still far away from producing artificial intelligence chips for the mass market. A company called the Cambrian Technology-based Artificial Intelligence chip startup attracted the investments of Alibaba, Lenovo Capital and IETF; Vertex is an investor in the startup horizon robot .
Huawei also has its own AI project.
While marching into the field of artificial intelligence, China also plans to invest heavily in the semiconductor industry, which the United States government estimates will have invested 20 billion U.S. dollars in a chip industry project with a total investment of up to 150 billion U.S. dollars.
China needs most high-end chips still need to be purchased from foreign suppliers Intel, AMD and ARM are the dominant technology in the field of microprocessors.
In an AI report released in September, Goldman Sachs said that "the process of establishing China's home-grown semiconductor industry has been slow to make progress and we expect China's reliance on foreign countries in the chip area will decline over time."
Media reports said Google is interested in promoting its TensorFlow artificial intelligence software tools to Chinese technology companies, although it is unclear whether the negotiations will involve Google's artificial intelligence chips.
CBI Insights said VC investments are also on the rise, and while NVIDIA graphics chips have gained early lead, AI start-ups are developing chips that run artificial intelligence software, including Graphcore, KnuEdge, and Cerebras Systems.
