Fang Chen sighed lightly.

However, the above sentence, in addition to showing the importance of chips to Huaxia, also shows the weakness of Huaxia's chip industry.

If it is not too weak, how can it be necessary to import so many chips.

Although in the previous life, the "Made in China 2025 Plan" had been formulated, and the self-sufficiency rate of the chip industry should reach 70% in the plan, but obviously for Fang Chen at this time, he couldn't wait so long, and Huaxia couldn't wait that long.

And when that time comes, it's really too difficult to think about suing the chip and then catching up.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Intel's annual R&D expenses are as high as 13.5 billion US dollars, and according to the exchange rate of 1 to 7 between the US dollar and Huaxia dollars at that time, it is equivalent to 100 billion Huaxia dollars.

And what's even more terrifying is that this 100 billion Huaxia coins is only Intel's R&D investment for one year, but Intel has invested in such R&D intensity for thirty or forty years.

The chasm formed by such thirty or forty years of accumulation is simply an unbridgeable moat.

After all, Huaxia wants to catch up with Intel's achievements in chips, not to mention the gap in technology and talents, at least Intel's scientific research funds in the past thirty or forty years should be taken out.

This means that if Huaxia starts to catch up in 2015, it will need to spend the equivalent of three or four trillion Huaxia coins in scientific research investment to be on par with Intel.

If you can't even pay for scientific research, you want to catch up with the achievements of others, and it's really a fool's dream to say something unpleasant.

Moreover, in addition to research funding, there are other powerful obstacles to the mess.

For example, when domestic students go to the United States to study computers, the road to chips is basically cut off, which will wipe out the late-mover advantage that China may have.

In addition, there are lithography machines, the most advanced extreme ultraviolet lithography machines that can only be produced by the Dutch ASML, which is still under the control of the United States.

In other words, as long as the United States says a word, Huaxia will not be able to have the ability to manufacture advanced chips, and it will be directly stuck.

Now, the United States will not regard China as an opponent to challenge its hegemony as it did in its previous life, and the channel for domestic students to go to the United States to learn computer chip technology is basically relatively smooth.

At this time, in addition to ASML, there are Sony, Nikon, Otec and other advanced lithography machine manufacturers, and even the gap between Huaxia's own lithography machine companies and foreign advanced technology is not as desperate as in later generations.

However, the most important thing is that although Dongwei has been cheated by the United States, chip technology, or overall semiconductor technology, cannot maintain the previous lead, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and now there is no problem at all in maintaining the first echelon.

In the 70s, 80s, and even the early 90s, Dongwei chips and semiconductor companies were simply bug-like existences, and they relied on low prices and high quality as weapons to sweep the entire chip market, and beat Intel, Texas Instruments and other semiconductor companies to the ground.

But with the nineties, especially in the ninety-five years, the economy of Dongwei completely plummeted, and semiconductor companies could not obtain the latest science and technology because of US sanctions, and then Dongwei's semiconductor manufacturing industry gradually declined, so that after the millennium, it was attacked by Samsung, so that Samsung's anti-market investment tactics were completely withered and ceased to exist.

If he starts to prepare for the semiconductor industry now, it will be easier to do it than to wait until after the millennium, and even if he can eat the semiconductor companies and technologies of Dongwei, it will undoubtedly reduce his accumulation of technology and talents by ten years, or even more.

Don't think that it is impossible to let the Dongwei people run to the Huaxia chip company.

Erpida is the leader of memory chips in Dongwa, and it is also the largest memory chip company in Dongwa, and even the world's largest memory chip company, which was born in 1999, and is actually an integration of Hitachi, NEC, and Mitsubishi Electric, the three largest memory chip companies in Dongwa, and the behemoth that appeared, a giant.

But unfortunately, it was because of the U.S. technology sanctions, coupled with Samsung's anti-market investment tactics, that led to the bankruptcy of Elpida in 2011, which became the largest manufacturing bankruptcy in the history of Dongwa.

The former chairman of Elpida, Yukio Sakamoto, a semiconductor giant of Dongwa, became the senior vice president of Huaxia chip manufacturer Unigroup a few years later.

In the future, Unigroup will establish the Towa Design Center, with Sakamoto in charge of the front-line command.

Regarding the reason for taking up the position as senior vice president of Unigroup Group, Yukio Sakamoto said in an interview with Kyodo News: "I don't want to end my life as a failure. I want to make a conclusion myself. ”

In fact, Yukio Sakamoto is not just an isolated case.

Since Dongwei has a large number of semiconductor talents, but there are no enterprises for these talents to display their talents, these talents will naturally flock to places like Xianghuaxia, which are extremely thirsty for semiconductor talents.

It can even be said that they can only come to Huaxia.

Because both the United States and Samsung already have enough talent reserves, even if they go, they will not have any good positions waiting for them, so it is better to go to Huaxia to fight.

Moreover, in addition to the Great Economic Recession in the East and the Five Years of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the Ni Liu Controversy of Lenovo also broke out.

Seriously, Fang Chen had already thought about it, since Lenovo couldn't tolerate Ni Lao, then Ni Lao would come to Qingtian, and even Qingtian's long-standing position as the chief technologist was prepared by him for Ni Lao.

As one of the first batch of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, such a Ni Lao is definitely worthy of such a position.

And if Ni Lao comes, he must develop chips and even other semiconductor technologies, otherwise it will be too wasteful of talents.

And letting Huaxia's chip manufacturing industry stand on top of the world without being stuck has always been something he has dreamed of for a long time.

But he has to start preparing now.

At this time, Duan Yongping looked at Fang Chen stupidly, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, he really didn't expect that Fang Chen's big project was actually to make chips.

He naturally knows the importance of chips, and it can even be said that even now, chips are still the most expensive parts of the Xiaobawang game console, game console, and even the DVD player, 04 machine.

It's just a money grab!

However, these can be regarded as solving the mystery in his heart, if Fang Chen really wants to make a chip, it does require an eleven-digit or even twelve-digit investment.

Even he is a little unsure in his heart, can this 100 billion investment in chips be done?

Of course, if you just casually get a chip company and produce chips with similar R&D points, it is naturally possible, and even 10 billion is more than enough, but according to his understanding of Fang Chen, Fang Chen will not be satisfied, just do it casually to this extent.

Once Fang Chen wants to do it, he must do it first.

Then the investment of 100 billion yuan is a bit insufficient.

Seeing Duan Yongping's contemplative and inextricable appearance, Fang Chen patted Duan Yongping's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, old Duan, you don't know anything about this chip, you can help me run Qingtian well, and when I need money, just give me the money." ”

Hearing this, Duan Yongping couldn't help but roll his eyes, and glanced at Fang Chen angrily, he didn't understand chips, as if Fang Chen did.

But as soon as he thought about it, he pursed his lips stupidly, okay, Fang Chen does know a little bit better than him, after all, the first generation of Xiaobawang game consoles was made by Fang Chen with someone.

"However, Mr. Fang, I don't seem to have promised you yet, let's make chips. Duan Yongping suddenly shouted.

He was almost taken to the ditch by Fang Chen, and he didn't promise to make chips, why did he give Fang Chen this 100 billion.

Moreover, although Qingtian is a technology company, it seems that there is no longer an incomparable relationship with making chips.

After all, you can't always make your own chips because the price of chips is expensive, so why don't you make your own production line.

Well, Fang Chen did make his own production line, Fang Chen has already asked people to start studying the production line of DVD players and repeaters, and is ready to take out or even export at any time.

But no matter how he thinks about it, he thinks that it is not wise to spend so much money to become a chip company with a very high failure rate.

But who knows, Fang Chen was not angry, but stared at Duan Yongping with a mocking face.

It didn't take long for Duan Yongping to take it anymore and subconsciously dodge.

At this time, Fang Chen, like a victorious general, grabbed Duan Yongping's shoulders and said triumphantly: "Old Duan, look, you can't beat me, besides, if we don't do something, what's the point of the money we earn, do we have to put it in the bank and slowly depreciate?"

"Otherwise, if you think the money is not enough, I will get you a billion first, and then put it at home for you, if this 100 million is placed into a wall 1 meter high and 1 meter wide, it can be almost 15 meters long, which is definitely enough to go around your bedroom, I guarantee that when the time comes, you will vomit when you see the money." Fang Chen teased.

Duan Yongping now has the heart to hammer Fang Chen to death, is that what he meant?

Besides, who is crazy and puts a billion at home.

"Besides, don't you want to do something meaningful to the country, the people, and the society......

Listening to Fang Chen's broken thoughts, Duan Yongping finally couldn't help but rudely interrupt him: "Mr. Fang, you are really like Tang Seng now. ”

Seeing that Fang Chen was about to speak, Duan Yongping said directly: "Mr. Fang, this money is your money, you can spend it as much as you like, I just ask you not to talk in my ear anymore." ”

He really felt like he was going crazy.

But seriously, he doesn't really oppose making chips, after all, when it comes to the understanding of the importance of chips and the demand for chips, I am afraid that few people in the country can surpass him.

After all, Qingtian is the company that imports the most chips in Huaxia, and the annual import cost of various chips for various products is basically three or four billion Huaxia coins, such an exaggerated figure.

And sometimes, if the chip is too tight, the other party will implement the purchase restriction policy, and the price will be relatively dead.

There's no way, whoever makes this chip can only be made by one family, people will naturally love as much as they want, and they will give you as many pieces as they love to give you.

If there are their own chip companies, these phenomena will be greatly alleviated.

And he knows that Fang Chen's so-called 100 billion yuan does not mean that he has to take it all out at once, according to his understanding of the domestic high-tech industry and chip industry, this money Fang Chen will spend in five years at a fast pace and seventy or eighty years at a slow pace.

And for Qingtian, the pressure doesn't seem to be too much.

After all, this year alone, Qingtian is expected to have a profit of 178 billion, and two years later, coupled with the power of Qingtian Petroleum, it is not impossible to give Fang Chen a year to invest 78 billion yuan in chips.

As for the extra part, Fang Chen found a way to go by himself, anyway, he didn't care, he believed that Fang Chen had a way to make up the difference of tens of billions.

Besides, you can't really throw this money in the bank to depreciate it, right?

And if Fang Chen's chip industry can really be done, it will be equivalent to adding another cash cow to Qingtian, or even a cornucopia.

In fact, he is still quite confident that Fang Chen can make a chip, after all, Fang Chen has created countless miracles, and one more such a thing is not something to be particularly surprised.

However, the most important thing is to shut up Fang Chen now!

He can't stand it anymore!

"It's good that you don't have any opinions, I've asked Taylor to make an appointment with Vice President Zhang Rujing of Texas Instruments, and I'll talk to him about these things about chips at that time." Fang Chen said with a smile.

"Huaxia?"

Duan Yongping asked with some surprise.

Texas Instruments naturally knows that the transistor that is now used on a large scale was invented by Texas Instruments, and the world's first integrated circuit was also invented by him, and Texas Instruments is also the oldest semiconductor company in the United States and even in the world.

Its sales have been among the top five in the semiconductor industry for many years, and Texas Instruments is also the semiconductor company with the widest range of involvement, and has the largest market share in the semiconductor industry.

However, in such a company, how could he not be surprised to hear the name of a Huaxia person who served as a vice president.

After all, you must know that the United States is very afraid of Chinese people working in such high-tech enterprises, let alone ascending to high positions.

"Well, the Huaxia people are just from the treasure island. Fang Chen said.

Hearing this, Duan Yongping was not surprised in an instant, there are still many talents in Baodao who are executives in semiconductor companies in the United States, and there are even those who have returned to Baodao to start a business.

But a thought flashed through him, and Duan Yongping couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Is he willing to help us?"

Hearing this, Fang Chen glanced at Duan Yongping and said in a brisk tone: "Dr. Zhang Rujing is one of the few patriots over there and is trustworthy. ”
