"President! What should we do now?"

"The company is what it is today, thanks to Mr. Ni. I think we should invite him back..."

"I've said it a long time ago, we can't give up on technology..."

In Zhongguancun, Beijing, in the sixth-floor conference room of Lenovo Group on Science Academy South Road, countless people were noisy.

Liu Chuanzhi sat at the front of the conference table, bowing his head and saying nothing.

The "Dimensity-1" chip developed by Infinity Company has historic significance in breaking the monopoly of the semiconductor market.

The moment the chip was successfully released, the whole country rejoiced!

How inspiring!

And the biggest contributor to all this is Ni Guangnan, who he personally drove out a year ago!

Now even the Ministry of Science and Technology can't hold back and nominates him as a candidate for this year's Science and Technology Progress Award. Now newspapers and media are promoting his deeds everywhere.

Anyone can see that with such an early nomination, there is no need to say who the award will be awarded to.

However, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that their chip seems to have been successfully developed, and they have made such great progress in just one year.

Experts from the Institute of Computer Science conducted comprehensive tests on the "Dimensity-1" and found that the performance of the chip greatly exceeded those of Intel, AMD, and other international chip giants.

There is no way to fake this.

It is foreseeable that Infinite Company will enter the complete machine market next, and Lenovo will be the first to be impacted.

Because in the past few years, Lenovo has switched from technical industry and trade to trade, industry and technology, and has abandoned its independent research and development route and focused its main energy on building a computer brand.

In other words, except for the occasional design of computer cases and motherboards, which have no technical content, all other hardware equipment is purchased from other manufacturers and then assembled into complete machines for sale.

Lenovo itself does not have any core technology.

Infinite Company has solved the most important core component of computers - the CPU.

The rest of the motherboard, memory, hard drive, graphics card, and power supply, these five essential computer accessories, are not very complicated and can be manufactured by many manufacturers around the world.

If they enter the complete machine market, Lenovo will definitely have a strong competitor.

Everyone quarreled for a long time, and then saw that Liu Chuanzhi had not spoken, and gradually became quiet. They all stared at each other, waiting patiently for him to speak.

Finally, Liu Chuanzhi spoke and said, "Gong Li, ask Intel later if their Pentium 4 can surpass it in performance."

The middle-aged man named Li Gong nodded.

A person next to him interjected: "President, should we send someone to contact Infinite Company? It would be best to take over all their chip business. Then our entire machine can also use their chips..."

"Why are you so naive! Let's not talk about whether they are willing or not. We have just signed a five-year supply agreement with Intel. If we use Infinity's chips by then, the other party will definitely terminate our cooperation!"

Liu Chuanzhi slapped the table and said angrily.

He understands the mentality of these people, but now Lenovo Group has long been bound to those European and American manufacturers, and it is not easy to get away.

It is easy to give up cooperation with Intel, but it will definitely anger the other party.

Once they improve their processes and create better-performing chips, the slight advantage that Infinity currently maintains will soon disappear.

At that time, Lenovo will be in a dilemma. If it still wants to cooperate with Intel, even if the other party agrees, it will probably suffer heavy losses.

So now, we must not draw any conclusions easily.

Although he didn't know what method Infinity Company used to manufacture chips, he believed that the chip giants in the United States would catch up at all costs.

Because the semiconductor industry is their absolute rival.

Almost every electronic device is inseparable from semiconductors, including mobile phones, cars, refrigerators, air conditioners, various household appliances, etc.

American Semiconductor

The scale of the industry is huge, directly contributing a large amount of tax revenue to the United States, and those semiconductor companies employ more than 200,000 workers.

By supporting the expansion of the semiconductor industry, nearly every other U.S. industry will benefit.

Whether it is increased demand for semiconductor equipment, tools and materials, or a more stable supply of chips to downstream industries.

Semiconductor R&D, design and manufacturing are an integral part of the American economy.

Therefore, they will never allow anyone to threaten their status as semiconductor overlord.

After figuring this out, his psychological pressure eased a lot.

As for asking Ni Guangnan to come back, he wouldn't do it unless it was absolutely necessary, otherwise he would be shameless?

A meeting was dispersed without any results being discussed.

South China City, Infinity Company Headquarters.

Lin Zeju just finished a reception and is currently discussing the specific details with Chen Weidong.

"Awei, several domestic institutions have proposed purchasing large quantities of our chips. Do you think we should supply them to them first?"

"Goodbye, we won't consider this kind of business for the time being." Chen Weidong thought for a while and directly rejected the request.

Others may think that purchasing from state-owned enterprises and institutions has huge profit margins and stable orders, making them the best customers, but they don't care about the small profits.

Their target is the entire huge personal computer market.

If you can occupy a place by then, the profits will be calculated in hundreds of billions, still in US dollars.

"Okay, but recently some domestic computer accessories manufacturers have come to visit us, hoping to reach cooperation with us." Lin Zeju nodded slightly and said with a smile.

After their chip was released, it immediately attracted domestic accessory manufacturers, many of whom hoped to launch a 100% domestically produced personal computer.

"This can be considered, but we must tell them carefully that if we enter the complete machine market in the future, we will give priority to their products. After all, they are all made in China.

Yes, everyone should take care of each other." Chen Weidong touched his chin, thinking of what he was about to face.

They have initially determined that they want to develop their own complete machine business.

The processor problem is solved, and the remaining problems are the motherboard and graphics card.

You don’t have to worry about the motherboard. The original motherboard for the Lenovo 286 microcomputer was designed by Ni Guangnan, who already has enough design experience.

Only the graphics card is a mess.

But in fact, the manufacturing of graphics cards is not complicated. What is complicated are some of the core components, such as the core part, the GPU (graphics processor).

GPU is also a type of chip, and it also requires manufacturing processes. Nvidia is an absolute graphics card giant, and they use 180 nanometer process technology.

In this respect, Infinity Company is not bad.

As long as we increase investment, conduct repeated experiments, and accumulate technology over a period of time, it will not be a problem to make a qualified and usable graphics card.

As for some other computer accessories, he is not prepared to get involved, but chooses to cooperate with domestic manufacturers and let them produce them on their behalf.

There are no good consequences for eating alone.

It is still difficult for one of their companies to stimulate the local economy.

Appropriately allocating some profits to downstream suppliers, or promoting technological upgrades of surrounding companies, is the best way to promote domestic research and development.

Later.

The two talked for a while, and then Lin Zeju returned to his office.

He still has a lot to deal with.

In Infinite Company, all employees above the supervisory level have their own offices. Only Chen Weidong and Li Xier work in the same office.

And Chen Weidong also said it euphemistically, all in order to better improve work efficiency.
