Chapter 165 Chip Foundry
Boss Wang was very satisfied with his manager's statement. As for the remaining factory construction, he was no longer interested in it.
Amid the praises of the officials, Wang Yue then inspected another project in this park, namely his Xinwang Company. Unlike the automobile company, the infrastructure has been completed. The $200 million construction factory is mainly green. The roof also has a company logo. A blue octopus extending its tentacles to the surrounding area. Because it is located in the earthquake zone, the earthquake resistance level of the factory is very high. Anyway, his designer told him that the magnitude 9 earthquake can survive.
At this time, the factory was installing those expensive equipment, basically a complete set of ASMA company products, including the construction of the factory, was also guided by ASMA company. It is said that the inside is so clean that even the dust in the air is not allowed to exceed 0.5 microns. It looks high-end and atmospheric. Based on the current situation of this company, it can already launch its own low-end chips to the market.
"No, we don't create that kind of thing, we want to create high-end PUs." Boss Wang said generously.
"Mr. Wang, with our current capabilities, it is not difficult to develop a PU equivalent to Intel's product a few years ago. Even relying on these devices that can be said to be of the same level as Intel, we can also mass-produce it, but the problem is that no one wants it when it is produced?" Lao He, the manager of Xinwang Company, said with a wry smile.
In fact, according to his design, the best way is to start with low-end chips. After all, the domestic market demand for this thing is also very large. Moreover, the equipment of Xinwang Company is so advanced that it can be almost the same as imported products in terms of cost and quality of these low-end chips. In this way, the market can be opened and the company can enter a healthy development. Then, after having enough popularity, it will develop into the computer PU field, instead of directly hitting Intel's castle with its head from the beginning.
That's just a mortal. Just look at the dead bodies in front of you. They all have strong strengths, and even national-level ones.
Xinwang can design and produce PUs, which is not something unattainable. Some companies can design it, but as long as the performance cannot reach the same level as Intel, no computer manufacturer will purchase it because it is no different from suicide. Unless you produce computers yourself, such computers should not be expected to buy them unless they are in a closed market. Even at a low price, there is already a bloody dead body hanging in front of Intel's door to show the public.
What's more, there is a line of defense that Microsoft is also impossible to cross. It creates a PU that Microsoft is not allowed to use their operating system, but it still ends up in the mirror. In addition, there is also a patent, a high-rise guillotine, which can be said to be a dead end to play with this.
"No solution?" Boss Wang said after listening to his manager's introduction.
"Yes, there is no solution. Unless we can make chips of the same level as Intel and have an operating system that is comparable to Microsoft. Moreover, this operating system must support the software built on Microsoft like a galaxy in the market, otherwise we will never solve this situation. Of course, the premise is that Intel and Microsoft will not cause trouble for us on patent issues. This is a castle that can be described as a solid wall." Lao He said.
"Why do you hit it with a siege hammer?" said Boss Wang.
"Take it, smash it with the siege hammer?" Old He said in a daze. He didn't understand what Wang Yue meant.
"If I say, I'm just saying that if Intel authorizes us to produce the latest chips that use their patented designs, or Microsoft agrees that we use their operating system, will this problem be solved?" Wang Yue said.
"Yes, as long as these two problems solve one of them, we can enter this market, but they cannot agree." Lao He said.
"This is because of humans. If we try hard to get it, they will always agree." Boss Wang said with a smile, but his smile was a little evil.
Looking at his smile, Old He suddenly understood what this notorious guy meant by smashing the siege hammer. He couldn't help but fight a cold war and said in a dry tone: "Mr. Wang, if you play like that, it's best to consider the consequences clearly. What if Intel stopped production in China in anger and stopped exporting chips to us at the same time?"
"Ah, this question really needs to be considered." Boss Wang said wisely, touching his chin, but then he was stunned for a moment and said, "Where do you play? Did I say how to play?"
"No, no, you didn't say it." Lao He hurriedly said.
"Yes, I clearly meant to negotiate with them and use negotiations to solve the problem, but I didn't say I would burn someone's factory and tie someone's board of directors. We are all civilized people, how can we do that? You are thinking too much." Boss Wang patted his shoulder and said seriously.
Old He showed a smile that was even worse than crying.
"As for the next step, you will produce some low-end chips according to your intentions, and start running the factory and play slowly. As for the PU problem, I will find a way to solve it." Boss Wang continued.
In fact, Boss Wang is not able to solve this problem. First, this problem cannot be spent with money. Both companies are not short of money. Second, he cannot threaten by force because the threat to China is more ruthless than him. Intel has played an embargo on China last year, and they cannot lose a lot of money. However, those computer manufacturers in China that claim to be national enterprises have only one way to go bankrupt, and then the entire economic recession.
The Chinese government will never allow him to drag the entire country into a disaster for a purely toy company.
"Do you really stop here?" Boss Wang, who returned to the Raider, was striding on the deck in a tangled manner.
But this does not fit his style. Although with the strength of the core king, he can still make a fortune in the low-end chip market, what Boss Wang wants is a computer pu. No matter how good the others are, as long as there is no such thing, it will be as uncomfortable as if a person has a meal on the table but no salt is added.
"Why are you always struggling with this issue? Do you know that our factory can be used to make a fortune now?" Lin Tong said with a funny look at his constipated expression.
"What's the meaning?"
"You just think about computer pu, but have you ever thought about it? First of all, our R&D team is impossible to make products of the same level as Intel. At most, they make products that are several years away from others. Even if Intel does not trouble our patents, Microsoft agrees that we use their operating system, but it will not be popular in the market. In the end, it may only be hung on Intel's fortress for public display."
"Then what do I do? You can't make a living by building learning machines or electric toy chips, right?"
"You are so stupid. You just want to make products. Do you know that this set of equipment from Asmay itself is priceless. Most of it is banned by the St. Vanna Agreement. Why is the domestic chip industry always dead? To a large extent, it is because we can't buy the latest production equipment. We can make things that are not inferior to Intel in the laboratory, but we can't mass produce it, and our set of equipment can.
Do you know how much pressure Asmay has been under to meet your requirements? The US is still fined Asmay two billion US dollars on the grounds of violating the St. Wannah Agreement!" Lin Tong said angrily.
"Uh?! I'm so embarrassed. Go and say to the manager of Asmay Company, I will ask for two blessing places for their board of directors from the Dragon King." Boss Wang said with a happy smile.
Now it is not only the Chinese who are thinking about asking for blessings from the Dragon King. After all, this kind of thing is something that everyone dreams of, but Boss Wang didn't give up. I think two places are enough to compensate the people for the Xilans. He was also a little dissatisfied with his conscience to push them to this level.
Lin Tong nodded and said, "With our technology, many chips that were originally unable to be made or those that were not made of unstable quality can be made in large quantities. So we don't need to develop this kind of thing ourselves, so we can design it for the Chinese Academy of Sciences or other domestic chip research institutions, and we do OEM for them. With this alone, we can make a fortune and then keep a close eye on the most advanced manufacturing technologies abroad, such as Asmay, Nikon, Canon, etc. As long as they produce the latest equipment, we will force them to sell it. I think none of them have the courage to refuse us at this point.
In this way, our processing capabilities can always be at the top of the country, and even not lagging behind internationally. The chips that cannot be obtained by the Saint-Vanna Agreement can be handed over to us for foundry. Many of these chips are related to national security, and no one will care about the issue of foundry costs with us. Moreover, such foundry is also unique. I think you should understand what this means." Lin Tong said.
I understand, Boss Wang, of course, understands that if the country wants chips that cannot be obtained due to the Saint-Vanna Agreement, it can only design them and then find the Chinwang Company to manufacture them. Others do not have such processing capabilities, and those with processing capabilities cannot be processed in foreign countries. Of course, the country does not dare to ask them to process them. Chinwang is the only choice. This only thing that brings in both economic and political interests is unimaginable.
