Chapter 46: Before the General Offensive (End)
PS: Part of the content of this chapter is a one-sided point of view, not the whole story, book lovers should not over-interpret.
In another time and space in 2018, there is a very interesting chart on the Internet, which counts the proportion of all imported chips in flower growers.
As the jewel in the crown of semiconductors, CPU, only accounts for 13% of the total imports of flower growers.
Who's the big head?Analog chip (note) and memory!
Memory is 38 percent, the biggest head! What's that?
As long as anyone who has bought a mobile phone on a shopping website has seen it, on the dense list of products on the website, the title of each product will not tell you the model of the CPU, but the size of the memory will be clearly marked.
4G+64GB,8G+128G,The number in front of it,It's the memory DRAM that can't be remembered,It's like the Elpida memory particles of Zhao Song's agent;The number behind it,It's the flash memory memory that I remember,It's like the Toshiba flash memory particles of Zhao Song's agentγ
Put these two things together, it is the memory, and after 18 years, the self-sufficiency rate of the flower growers is 0!
Some people may say, we have it, Huahong, Unigroup, etc., of course, but do you combine the most advanced Huawei HiSilicon CPU with these memories that are more than three or four generations behind?
Because the flower grower has HiSilicon, and because DDR is a technology alliance, many companies in island countries, the United States, Wanwan, and Europe are in this alliance. Even if there are only three major storage manufacturers left in the world in the future, the flower growers still have patents that can be drilled.
Therefore, in the huge 13th Five-Year Plan, hundreds of billions of investments in the Yangtze River Storage, Feichangxin, and Jinhua in Fu Province have sprung up.
Zhao Song didn't know what the future would be, but because of these three, the future of the flower planter's memory was full of hope.
But few people have noticed the implications of the outcome of the patent wars that took place at the turn of the century.
What if Intel wins? Rambus is a rogue patent company that is more rogue than Qualcomm, and its notoriety has been around for 18 years!
Intel wins, the island country, Wanwan, Europe, four-star, all will become Rambus foundries, patent barriers are rising, want to play? Pay the entrance fee to say, not much, 5% of the retail price of each (Qualcomm's dry method).
And the memory semiconductor industry of the flower growers will become hellish difficulty.
β¦β¦β¦
In the Zhonghai Electronics Market, the shop merchants and guys who are not highly educated are browsing all kinds of news with great interest.
"Four Star has invested billions of dollars to build a fab. β
"Local tyrant shareholders, Wanwan Formosa Plastics is betting heavily!"
"For 1.9 billion US dollars, Wanwan Lijing started construction of a 12-inch wafer factory. β
"The national strategy, the transfer of Mitsubishi DRAM business from the island country to Elpida has been completed!"
As they got to know each other, the shop guys suddenly felt that compared with the actions of these foreign companies, the domestic PC companies that were tossing and surging may not even be able to do anything!"
Putting their thoughts aside, they continued to browse through the news about rambus and PC133.
Zhao Song's kid has linked the victory or defeat of this struggle with the international patent battle, and we are actually in it.......
β¦β¦β¦..
"Zhao Song!" A call pulled Zhao Song's gaze back from the configuration list in front of him.
"Uncle Qin!"
Director Zhonghai Qin walked to Zhao Song's side and said worriedly: "The five major distributors have all entered the market, and they are no longer satisfied with supporting Pengcheng, so they have begun to distribute I820 motherboards and rambus memory sets by themselves!"
"Nationwide?"
Director Qin nodded heavily, "National!"
"What's the good news?"
Do you call this good news? Director Qin glanced at him angrily, and then said: "If the memory drops again, the old chipset motherboard will also be reduced in price and released! Zhao Song, they are sure that you will take over!"
Nonsense! If you don't take the plate, Lao Tzu's memory module will have to pay to death! Zhao Song also gave him a blank look.
"Zhao Song! Listen to my uncle's advice, don't toss, find a big company, accept their investment, let's pass the hurdle of Erbida's bad contract, Tesla is still your Tesla!"
"No!"
"Zhao Song!" Director Qin put his arm around Zhao Song's shoulders and whispered in his ear: "They want Tesla, but they want you more! Accept investment, Tesla still has the final say, and you can even go to a higher stage to play your ability!"
"No!"
Looking at the stubborn kid in front of him, Director Qin let go of his hand dejectedly, "Tesla is running out of money, right? What are you going to do now?"
"Sign the contract!" Zhao Song looked at Director Qin and said sincerely: "Don't they want me?
"What?" Director Qin looked at Zhao Song blankly.
"Four-star stick is expanding its scale in the counter-cycle, Wanwan has invested NT$160 billion in nearly ten years, the island country has just implemented a new DRAM strategy, and Germany's Infineon has just released countless technology licenses to Wanwan enterprises in addition to the start of a new wafer factory, not to mention those graphics card manufacturers that need memory.
Uncle, Rambus won't win this time without the involvement of the American government! They won't let Rambus win!
Since the Big Five want to send me money, then I'll laugh at it! But I need you to help me!"
Reborn until now, earning so much money, Zhao Song has always felt that his luck is very good, and this time, he thinks it will always be good!
Director Qin looked at Zhao Song for a long time, and it wasn't until the closing bell rang that he patted Zhao Song on the shoulder.
"Wait!"
"Alas!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦..
The customers slowly wanted to walk outside the Zhonghai Gate, and Zhao Song went against the flow of people and came to the office, where many people had been waiting for a long time, but there was no impatience.
"Mr. Zhao!" a group of people hurriedly beckoned.
"Sit down, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Zhao Song greeted politely.
"It didn't take long to ....."
Nodding, Zhao Song looked at Wen Zhenwen with a smile.
"Boss, the contracts are all ready. The China Merchants branch is responsible for providing short-term loans for Tesla, and the industrial and commercial branch is responsible for Shenzhou. β
"When will I be paid?"
"After Mr. Zhao signed, within an hour!"
Zhao Song nodded, finally confirmed the amount on the two contracts, and then picked up a pen from the table at random, and signed the word 'Zhao Song' on the two contracts under the gaze of everyone.
Standing up, he said to Ding Tao: "Let's start receiving!"
Ding Tao nodded and walked out the door, and the two bank representatives also walked out of the door with him.
When the door closed again, Zhao Songcai glanced around at everyone in the room, and said slowly: "Whether it's Tesla or Shenzhou, I just need everyone to do their own thing, and the rest is to wait for victory!"
"Understood!"
The crowd dispersed, and Zhao Song took out his mobile phone.
"Sister Fang, I can't wait for the earnings after the black film is listed, if you don't give me an exact message, Tesla will take back the U disk authorization of the Great Wall. β
"Zhao Song, it's me!"
"Yuanyuan?" Zhao Song was stunned for a moment.
"Hmm~"
"Where's Sister Fang?"
"There is a meeting. Zhao Song, I will take the group's finance to the bank tomorrow to transfer money to Tesla!"
"Group finance?" Zhao Song asked suspiciously.
"Well, the hard drive company has long been insolvent, where did you get so much money to lend you, Sister Fang and I have been in the group for the past two days. β
"......." Zhao Song pursed his lips and said after a while: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" said with a smile on the phone, "Remember to fax the agreement quickly." β
"Right now!"
"Zhao Song. β
"Huh?"
"We want to win!"
"Don't worry, I haven't lost!"
"Hee-hee-........"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦..
November 16th.
Xingsheng defaulted, and the five major distributors officially entered the market, joined the team of betting on new technologies, and began to sell inventory on a large scale.
On the evening of November 16, Xu Youcai, President of China Shipping Group, signed his name on a resignation letter with a gloomy and regretful expression, and Director Qin, who had been with him for nearly 20 years, officially resigned.
At the same time, he was ecstatic and issued a letter of appointment, Zhao Song - the famous star of Zhonghai, from this moment on, there is another position of director of the Zhonghai Management Office, Xu Youcai knows, when everyone knows the news tomorrow, he can be envied to death by a group of people!
It was also the evening of November 16. Countless Tesla guys stayed up all night to swim hundreds of host computers in Internet cafes and replace the board U memory.
Black screen, there must be a reason, maybe Intel already knows, but it was not announced - due to the full participation of the flower growers in advance, the number of new products produced can already be described astronomically, Intel, can not stop!
At this time, a small man in Zhongguancun, Kyoto, a flower planter, and his small company are tugging at its tail, trying to pull it back on the right track...........
Reborn at the turn of the century
