Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Eve of the Storm
(PS: Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, also known as 'Chang', also known as 'Dragon City'.) )
In 2003, the electronic information industry with integrated circuits as the core surpassed the traditional industries represented by automobiles, petroleum and iron and steel to become the largest industry, and became a powerful engine and solid cornerstone for transforming and driving traditional industries into the digital age. The total world market of the electronic information industry, with integrated circuits as the core, has far exceeded 1 trillion US dollars, accounting for about 3% of the world's GNP. The data of modern economic development show that every 1~2 yuan of integrated circuit output value has led to the formation of about 10 yuan of electronic industry output value, which in turn has led to the growth of 100 yuan of GDP.
At present, 65% of the growth of the gross national economic output of developed countries is related to integrated circuits; Almost half of the U.S. defense budget is made up of electronics. It is expected that in the next 10 years, the world's integrated circuit sales will grow at an average annual rate of 15%, and will reach 600 billion ~ 800 billion US dollars in 2010, which will support the electronic equipment market of 4 trillion ~ 5 trillion US dollars.
As the focus of economic competition in today's world, integrated circuits with independent copyrights have increasingly become the lifeblood of economic development, the foundation of social progress, the bargaining chip of international competition and the guarantee of national security.
We can say that a new situation of war has begun, and this war is not about who will be the first to enter the digital age, but about not being controlled by others in the engine and cornerstone industry of VLSI after entering the digital age.
In 2003, we had a market size of 220 billion yuan, accounting for 17.5% of the world's total, and the total sales revenue has increased from 2.5% to 3.4% compared with two years ago.
This is the terrible situation we have in this war, and it is the result of the hard work of some of the brightest people in this country.
In this situation, it will not be on the news, and the common people will not dare to be interested in those English professional terms that they cannot understand, so they can only publish it in the form of a reference in the white paper for specific personnel.
......
The conference room of a private club in Longcheng.
All sorts of people gathered, smoke filled with white papers looming on the conference table.
At the table, an expert took his eyes off the white paper and said gently: "Integrated circuits are knowledge-intensive, technology-intensive, and capital-intensive industries, and they are also the industries with the largest amount of investment in the information manufacturing industry.
In this way, it can be said that the country has put the breakthrough in the 'LED' and photovoltaic energy industry, which can be said to be a pragmatic policy!"
"Everyday~"
At this time, a young man with a domineering face impatiently interrupted the expert's introduction, "We are not interested in what national policies and what industrial situation, I just want to know whether Zhao Song's investment in Nanda Optoelectronics has any impact on our plan?"
Expert Chang Lao's face did not change, and he introduced with a comfortable expression: "Nanda Sun Xiangzhen has been engaged in the chemical synthesis research of MO source since 1986, and after fifteen years of difficult research, Nanda Optoelectronics has finally obtained the international advanced preparation route and the most advanced process technology. ”
"Chang Lao," the expert's words were interrupted again, this time by Liu Yupeng, who asked politely, "What is Mo Yuan?"
"It's about LEDs. The expert's explanation was easy to understand, and seeing that everyone no longer had the intention of asking questions, he continued, "I think Zhao Song saw this and made up for the last gap for Nanda Optoelectronics - the funds and talents required for large-scale production!"
Speaking of this, Chang Lao picked up the document at hand: "According to the inside information you got from the provincial government of Suzhou Province - with the support of Zhongguancun Holdings, Nanda Optoelectronics will invest in the construction of a large-scale R&D and production base in Jinling, expand the production lines of trimethyl gallium, trimethyl indium and trimethyl aluminum in Suzhou City, and invest in the construction of air separation units and special gas plants.
These actions are fully in line with the knowledge-intensive and capital-intensive characteristics of the industry. “
Chang Lao raised his head, looked around at the thoughtful crowd in the room, pulled the corners of his mouth, and sighed: "This is a very huge investment, not to mention that I don't know if Mr. Zhao Song has other plans, but combined with the white paper and the heavy participation of the provincial government:
This is definitely an investment project approved by the superiors, in line with the general environment and policies, and closely following the high-level route.
“......”
"Chang Lao, is there an upper limit to this base?"
"No," the expert shook his head and said, "In addition to Mo Yuan, this investment also involves the electronic specialty gas market with a scale of up to 20 billion." ”
“......”
Expert Chang Lao looked at the cloudy crowd in the room, and couldn't help but persuade: "Everyone, the timing of the stock market crash is very unfortunate, whether you can guess the scale of Zhao Song's funds or not, please also exclude the factor of Tesla's listing." ”
"Why?"
"Because Tesla didn't meet the New York Stock Exchange listing rules until October! By then, the stock market crash would have been resolved!"
“......”
Liu Yupeng, who was in the corner, saw that no one spoke, and said hesitantly: "In other words, we must know how much money Zhao Song still has in order to determine his next direction?"
The most urgent question now is to know whether Zhao Song still has the money to participate in the steel capital.
This was originally a stable thing, but who would have thought that it was brushed all over by Zhao Song Xuhuang with a shot, and it got the little-known Nanda Optoelectronics - they thought that Wen Zhenwen went to Su Province to rush to Gangben.
"I have a message here," at this time, a deep male voice came from the landline seat, "Xu Liangying is gone." ”
"What do you mean?"
"We can't find her, whether it's Q County or Cangshi, none of our people have found her in the past two days, Gu Wuming insiders revealed: She came to Dragon City!"
Someone asked, "Where's the insider?"
"It's my business and I promise it's absolutely reliable. ”
The people in the room looked at each other thoughtfully.
"We know that in addition to one kilometer and three links and one reach, only Wu Ming under the Zhao Song system is the least involved in the integrated circuit industry.
Therefore, Xu Liangying, a woman, has always had great ambitions, from alloy structural steel to carbon structural steel, from carbon tool steel to special performance steel, and even cast iron, as long as it is the steel connector involved in the integrated circuit, it is the technical information that Wu Ming has been collecting during this time. ”
"What does this mean?"
It means that Xu Liangying's ambition can only be completed by participating in the pure private iron and steel enterprise of Jingangben. ”
"So our preparation was not in vain. ”
It was a middle-aged man who spoke, the oldest in the house, and the one who told the whole speculative story.
"Of course not!"
On the phone, a deep voice explained, "Zhao Song used steel to attract you to Longcheng, hoping to invest in Nanda Optoelectronics with less constraints;
"Think beautifully!"
The middle-aged man sneered, "It seems that Tesla's listing in October has not affected the money bag of our richest man~"
He turned his head and looked at Liu Yupeng in the corner with a cold gaze: "How much money do we have?"
Liu Yupeng touched the corner of his eye, which was still blue and purple, and gently stretched out a finger.
"Then throw it all out and get the land!" The middle-aged man waved his hands fiercely, and then said gloomily to the landline, "Use us as guns, and then make waves in the back, do you want to do something?"
"Of course," said unhurriedly in a deep male voice on the phone, "I don't believe that Zhao Song is selfless, two thunders as big as two in the stock market are a disaster for us, but they are opportunities for him!"
“......”
"Why didn't he let Liao Yingzhu come back without calling anyone?"
“......”
"Also, I just received news that Zhao Song is related to an international blockbuster paper, and CCTV's press release has come out. ”
"What is he going to do?"
"He wants to focus all his eyes on that industry, which needs to be knowledge-intensive and talent-intensive, so he wants more and more people to pay attention to that industry. ”
"What does it have to do with the stock market?"
"The reason Chang Lao just said - that industry also needs to be capital-intensive, so the more attention is focused, the more funds are invested in that industry, and where is the fastest capital to come?
The middle-aged talker finally understood the meaning of the person on the landline, and couldn't help asking:
"What are we going to do?"
"We can't let him lead us by the nose, we have to disrupt his pace. ”
"How?"
"Tomorrow, the board of directors of Huahong will definitely report on its work, according to the habit of Zhao Song Yulu, it will be nothing more than to make those major shareholders ready to make great contributions.
What credit?
What is the contribution of the integrated circuit industry that can make the attention of the superior leaders and the interest of the people?"
Listening to the questions on the phone, Liu Yupeng blurted out:
"Plant a flower core!"
“......”
Yes, everyone's eyes lit up, they patted their thighs, and they said:
"It's Loongson!"
He hid the Loongson team in United Semiconductor for two years. “
"It's time for the results!"
"The first flower core~"
"Big news. ”
“......“
After a few moments of discussion, the conference room slowly calmed down, and people turned their eyes to the landline.
"Released the first flower core, and then made Loongson independent, set up a company, attract investment, and seek to go public......"
"What a big game of chess!" said the middle-aged man gloomily, "what are we going to do?"
"Of course it's going to disrupt his steps...... "The person on the phone chuckled, "Old Zhong, don't forget that you also have a core in your hand." ”
As soon as he said this, Liu Yupeng's heart in the corner jerked up, and he looked at the white paper on the table, full of worry - what these people have to deal with are people who need to refer to the white paper to study and understand, do they know what this means?
They took advantage of Zhao Song, which seemed like a harmless joke in the eyes of the upper echelons, but they made Zhao Song anxious, or something more excessive......
Did they really think about the consequences?
However, no one in the conference room cared about Liu Yupeng's thoughts, and everyone turned their attention to the middle-aged talker.
"What do you mean......" The person hesitated for a long time before recalling a move he had made a long time ago, "That Chen Jin?"
"That's right!"
The frowning chuckle came again, and in the landline, a deep male voice finally said: "Since Zhao Song has brought the heat, of course we can't live up to his kindness, and the road to Loongson's wealth is everyone's back road."
When the time comes, even if there is any accident in Gangben......"
I didn't say the rest of the sentence, but everyone here could understand the meaning.
"I think the name of the first flower core is still the name given by Zhong Lao, which is better, everyone says yes. ”
Many people were nodding their heads, and then looked at the red-faced speaker with admiration.
In his mouth, he was still chanting that nice name.
Only Liu Yupeng lowered his head, trying to reduce his sense of existence.
He wanted to run, he wanted to get out, but he didn't make any movement when he was trapped in it, just a kind of despair from his heart, and unconscious muttering.
The situation described in the white paper is indeed very bad, but are you ignoring something?
What we have to deal with is the owner of a private company, the private enterprise called Tesla, which is the highest-level partner of most semiconductor chip designers and manufacturers in the world~
In the face of such a person, do you dare to take out a 'flower core' that claims to have independent intellectual property rights without any warning?
......
At this point, if anyone can get close to him, they will hear the exact same name as the others have said:
"Hanxin!"
