In less than a month, it was slightly shorter than expected, and I returned to Hong Kong for a long time, and I already had a more feasible plan in my mind.

Foreign computers have spheres of influence, even in Europe. As for Japan, it is even more insignificant, and there is even a feeling of rejoicing for a long time, if it were not for Nintendo's greed, it would still be a question of whether its own microprocessors could be sold to Japan.

A large number of screenings have been screened, only the domestic market remains, only here is still a virgin land, and reform and opening up provides an opportunity.

It's still your own country that is reliable, your own chip factory has been established, and the wolves outside are still watching in 83, and the opportunity will not come again, it's time to attack.

It's just that at present, the main customers of microcomputers in China are still those large state-owned enterprises, which are used for industrial control, such as iron and steel enterprises.

Large-scale commercial microcomputer applications have not yet risen, because microcomputers are still so luxurious in China, although the main component processor has been localized, but at that time integrated circuits were in short supply throughout the country, even a 74 series of integrated circuits had to be hundreds of yuan, the production cost was too high, this is mainly a process problem.

In fact, it is easy to understand that the domestic production environment is too bad, and there is no complete set of mature production technology. It is backward from the source, such as refining pure silicon, foreigners use the silane method, but the Chinese still use the original reduction method, not only low purity, but also extremely low yield, the output of its raw materials simply cannot meet the needs of large-scale production.

China has also tried to produce polysilicon by silane method, but the backwardness of the chemical industry has led to the danger of the entire production process, and there have been several large explosion accidents, so it has been in the experimental stage, and only a little sample can be produced.

This is one, and there is also a silicon rod production, which is also a domestic self-developed straight-pull equipment. To make monocrystalline silicon rods, high-purity polycrystalline silicon is melted at a constant temperature, and then monocrystalline silicon seeds are used to attach liquid silicon to it step by step and rotate while pulling, so that polysilicon becomes monocrystalline silicon rods.

Because the requirements for monocrystalline silicon used in semiconductors are extremely high and cannot be mixed with any impurities, argon gas is used in foreign processes. China's industrial base does not allow for the production of so much argon, so it has no choice but to develop a vacuum method of straight-pull silicon rods.

Although the vacuum method can achieve the effect of shielding, the negative pressure structure makes the high-temperature liquid silicon constantly oxidized (the vacuum is also gas), and there are many impurities generated.

These are difficult problems, not just public relations, and require the upgrading of the entire industrial base.

With such an industrial base, its production capacity was inevitably limited, resulting in a situation where the entire China was in short supply of semiconductor components for a long time in the early 80s.

It's not that the leaders can't see this key, it's just that they have invested large-scale money and manpower several times but can't even see a drift, so after a long time, they will no longer be self-reliant, and how cheap and labor-saving it is to buy foreign ready-made products.

As early as when the long-term chip factory was being built, the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences contacted him to discuss the issue of importing 021 processors.

Naturally, he promised for a long time, but because he had a contract with Nintendo, he didn't know if he could successfully produce it, so he delayed it. After the chip factory was completed, a congratulatory message was sent from China, and a long time was invited to return to China to participate in the microcomputer technology seminar. I couldn't ask for it for a long time, so I immediately called back and agreed to the matter.

This time, when I came back from Japan for a long time, I found Dr. Yu and asked about the situation of the chip factory. Dr. Yu told Changchang with a smile that the trial production of the 021 microprocessor is in good condition, and some problems have been found in large-scale production, but the solution has been almost solved, and it is fully qualified to carry out the next step of process transformation, reduce the line width, and use the updated processor design.

Hearing this good news, I was relieved for a long time, this factory is in place, and I finally don't have to ask my grandfather to tell my grandmother to tie my hands and feet, this is a gold mine.

After thinking about it for a while, he still said that the main energy at this stage is to increase production and accumulate the production experience of workers, and it is necessary to ensure shipments, and process improvement can be done slowly, because the demand for 021 processors may skyrocket in the next few months.

"You don't have to worry about production problems, you have to have as many as you want. Dr. Yu flicked the cigarette ash and said easily, "If the production capacity is full, only the production of 021 processors can ship 1 million pieces per month, and there is 15~20% room for improvement, you must know that our production line is designed according to the annual output of 20 million pieces, I am only worried that if such a large production capacity is insufficient, it will be a big loss." ”

Chang smiled and said: "You just put one hundred and twenty hearts, as long as the supply is guaranteed, the devil should be able to digest most of it, this time they didn't pick up 500,000 pieces in the first batch, and it is estimated that there will be more below, but it is not necessarily to buy, hehe." ”

Dr. Yu said curiously: "Do you want to sell it to the mainland?"

"No, as long as Nintendo's game console is popular, you are still afraid that there are no pirates, this thing has a simple structure, as long as someone who knows a little bit can analyze it and assemble it with components. He smiled weirdly, like a weasel stealing a chicken, "Those pirates in Taiwan will definitely not let go of these opportunities." ”

Dr. Yu smiled and pointed his finger at it for a long time: "It turns out that you have already reached this point, game console piracy is none of your business, but the more you steal your chips, the more you will sell, you are too bad." ”

Chang smiled and said: "I also had an idea, and I only remembered it when I saw a compatible machine in the United States, is this such wisdom." ”

"You are cunning!" Dr. Yu squirted, "I said how did you let go of such a lucrative thing at that time and did not do it, but were in a hurry to gnaw on the hard bone of the semiconductor factory, and the feelings were waiting here and there." ”

However, Dr. Yu also nodded: "One does not make memory, the other does not make amplification circuits, only makes the least microprocessor sold, you are really risky, if it weren't for Nintendo's game console to help you, it is estimated that you would starve to death." ”

"That's the vision. "Stick out your tongue for a long time," instead of competing with those industry bigwigs, it is better to open up a new growth point by yourself, that is, consumer electronics. No, Nintendo's game console feeds us a factory, so we don't have to worry about it. ”

"Then how do you enter the mainland market, didn't they send you an invitation again? This time it may not be easy, it will give you a headache for a while, the mainland market is not yet mature, whether it is a game console or a microcomputer, it seems that there is no basis for consumption. ”

"Don't worry about this, the economy has developed rapidly since the reform and opening up, and there must be demand, but what is this demand, what is the most suitable product for mainland users to pay for, this has to be studied carefully. ”

"Oh?" Dr. Yu knew that the kid in front of him had many strange tricks, but they often worked, and it seemed that he had been confident for a long time in this situation.

"There is a vague concept, this time to go to the meeting just to explore the way, if nothing else, it should be promising. "After all, our main direction of attack is chips, everything has to revolve around this, as for the things that charge ahead, let others do it, we can sit back and accept its achievements, just like Intel did with IBM." ”

Pack up and go on the road, less than half a day to Beijing, after a few years, but for a long time but can not recognize the road, the change is really a little big, of course, this refers to Zhongguancun.

At that time, he had been here for a long time when he was in the computing institute, and at that time he had admired Zhongguancun for a long time, so he came to pay his respects, and was disappointed, except that it was closer to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and it was no different from the rural areas in the north.

In the 70s, Zhongguancun was still a suburban village, with low bungalows on both sides, only one country road was still very difficult to walk, and every winter the road was running on a cart pulling Chinese cabbage, which was the main agricultural product in the village, supplying the people in Beijing.

After a few years, the country roads have been turned into streets, new buildings have been erected in the east, and the peasants' bungalows in the west have been changed in appearance, and all kinds of businessmen are shuttling through them.

At this time, the first crab eaters began to promote the tide of business, and some electronic product markets began to form here.

At that time, it was a critical period of structural reform, and some of the people who were bold and bold in the sky naturally got the first pot of gold like a fish in water.

I haven't come back for a long time, but I'm very familiar with it in my memory, isn't it Zhongguancun, a street of liars, a street of buying and selling, hehe.

casually turned around, and found that the domestic changes are still not big for a long time. The store sells all the Great Wall 0521 computers from a few years ago, and it costs a total of 40,000 or 50,000 yuan with monitors and printers.

It's okay to have a monitor, you don't have to choose. However, there are many different types of printers, and most of them are Japanese.

I was very interested for a long time, and looked at the price, Huo, a Toshiba 24-needle printer actually sold for 12,000, and it was really popular, so fucking black.

It's not in vain, this thing is promising, and I have determined the idea in my heart for a long time, it seems that the use of domestic popular computers is still limited to typing office, and the system of more than 50,000 yuan is used as a printer.
