Chapter 521: Blockade and Suppression

This is a common problem of technology nerds, and people who know how to do things will immediately ignore other existences as long as they encounter discussions about technology.

But fortunately, Chang Sheng and the two quickly realized this problem, and then they returned to what the dinner should be.

"Mr. Hu, I borrow flowers to offer you a cup of Buddha and thank you for your support to our Huaxin. ”

Jiang Lixing picked up a glass of wine, touched it with Populus euphratica, and then dried it down.

Hu Yang also drank the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass and said with a smile?: "Mr. Jiang, I rarely admire any company, but I admire Huaxin under your leadership. ”

"Mr. Hu, how can I be as capable as you say, you are the God of Wealth in the eyes of many of us, I should respect you. However, when it comes to Huaxin, which has come through hardships over the years, it is really sad.

Let's not talk about our technical level, we designed a general-purpose chip, but we can't find a company that is willing to OEM. Later, it was Mr. Hu who helped us introduce STMicroelectronics, and our Huaxin No. 1 B chip could come out. ”

Speaking of the technological blockade and suppression in China, several people here are all related.

In fact, the technological blockade of Europe and the United States on the country began when the country was first established. First, there was the "Batumi Commission", and then the "Wassenaar Agreement", which imposed embargoes and trade restrictions on domestic aviation, aerospace, military industry, and many other high-tech fields.

To this day, many restrictions remain. For example, just like Huaxin's various encounters, they all stem from the domestic technology blockade.

"Mr. Jiang, I'll go back and study it to see if I can design a computer equipped with Huaxin No. 1 chip. However, I guess the sales will definitely not be good, so let's test the water. ”

Changsheng even thinks that in the future, a Huaxin laptop can also be launched.

Of course, there is no problem with the design or anything. However, after the product is produced, the choice of operating system and the establishment of the ecosystem are still a big problem.

At present, Huaxin mainly relies on CPU orders from aerospace and military industries to maintain the basic operation of the enterprise, and there is a long way to go in commercial use.

"I think so. After all, there are a large number of die-hard fans of Huaxin in China, and some of them can still be sold if they are properly produced. However, it will take a decade to gain a place in the commercial market. ”

Hu Yang is very much in favor of Chang Sheng's suggestion that some things have to be done by someone after all. Perhaps Huaxin's products are neither technologically advanced nor inexpensive. However, when one day the people's home chip is stuck in your neck, you will feel that there is still a domestic product to choose from, what a happy thing.

As long as the market demand rises, what price and ecosystem are not a problem.

Hu Yang hopes that Huaxin can live to that day.

This night, Chang Sheng and Jiang Lixing were both drunk. The two keep looking forward to the day when domestic chips and domestic computers will rise in the future.

People who have dreams are happy after all, and these two guys were finally carried back by someone.

Two days later, Dong Qi's team and Jiang Lixing's team reached an agreement on financing. For this reason, Mu Shaoqing returned to the deep sea from Xiangjiang and participated in the signing ceremony.

According to the agreement, Huijia International Investment will invest US$125 million in Huaxin and obtain a 20% stake in Huaxin.

In addition, with the strong support of Hu Yang, the Hi-Tech Venture Capital Fund will provide 2 billion yuan of financing to Huaxin in the form of corporate bonds.

This is equivalent to saying that this time Jiang Lixing's trip to the deep sea got 3 billion yuan (RMB) of funds at once, exceeding the task.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Mu, Manager Dong, on behalf of Huaxin, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart! Without your strong support, I don't know if I will be able to pay my employees in a few months. ”

The signing ceremony was very low-key, and no media was invited.

After the ceremony, Jiang Lixing shook hands with Hu Yang and others, and his gratitude was overflowing.

Hu Yang didn't say too many kind words, but hoped that Jiang Lixing would not give up and continue to do a good job of general-purpose CPUs and some special-purpose CPUs.

By the time Jiang Lixing took the opportunity to return to the imperial capital, Hu Yang had already let people transfer the funds to Huaxin's account. With this funding, Huaxin can continue to develop a new generation of CPUs, or start to build an ecosystem based on high compatibility.

However, Huaxin's road is destined to be difficult. Others are sharpening a sword for ten years, if Huaxin wants to fight a bloody road, ten years may not be enough. After all, many years have passed since Huaxin was established.

After Jiang Li walked, Chang Sheng also successfully won a 5 billion yuan corporate bond from the high-tech venture capital fund for Ark Computer. The maturity of the bond is three years, and the interest rate level is the average of the same period, which also allows the Ark Computer to completely overcome the difficulties of funding.

In the height of summer.

There is good news from Xintong International, the company's 40\45nm process chips are in full production, and the yield rate has reached 95%.

In terms of technical level, Xintong International finally followed Taipower and bought the ranks of the world's first echelon of chip manufacturing, and opened a distance from S Star and Intertra.

Good news comes with bad news.

The international high-end lithography machine giant has officially notified Xintong International that the next-generation lithography machine will delay the delivery to the company. In fact, this is artificially caused, and the time for Xintong International to obtain a new generation of lithography machines will be at least one generation later than that of Taipower, S Star and other companies.

Fortunately, Meng Rusong and others have been psychologically prepared and are stepping up their efforts from the existing equipment, trying to continue to promote the development of the chip manufacturing process through process improvement without replacing the equipment.

At the same time, the charm Starlight 1S mobile phone, which has just entered the North American market, has also been subject to security review by relevant parties. Although sales have not stopped completely, sales have also been greatly affected.

"Mr. Yan, the company tries to invest as little resources as possible in North America, because there are too many variables. You can sign a distribution agreement with a local distributor, but you must strengthen risk control and never make unprincipled concessions on the terms of the agreement for the sake of sales. ”

During this time,A domestic color TV giant,In order to open the North American market,Signed a consignment agreement with a local distributor。 With just one piece of paper, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of color TVs were sent.

Because the agreement was not rigorous and there was no means of supervision, the dealer ran away with the payment. As a result, the domestic home appliance giant has lost its goods and money, causing great losses.

At present, the home appliance giant is still fighting a lawsuit in North America. According to an insider, the chances of them recovering their losses are almost zero.

In view of this, Hu Yang specially called Yan Hanzhang, Mo Xiangbin, Wang Han and others to his office and repeatedly reminded them not to rush for quick success.

"Mr. Hu, you're talking about Rainbow Electric Co., Ltd., right? We all know about this matter, and we will definitely take it as a warning. ”

Yan Hanzhang immediately stated that Charm Electronics would rather give up the North American market than dig a pit and trap itself.

Wang Han continued:

"Mr. Hu, the North American market seems to be gradually tightening up on domestic communication products. I think we might as well go all out to develop the European market. Anyway, at present, the products of Charm Electronics have won 50% of the domestic smart phone market. With this glass of old wine at the bottom, there is really nothing to be afraid of. ”

After this period of investigation, at the recent meeting of the board of directors of Charm Technology Group, everyone unanimously decided to appoint Wang Han as the general manager of Charm Electronics Company.

Yan Hanzhang resigned from the position of general manager and only served as the chairman of Charisma Electronics. Mo Xiangbin is still the deputy general manager of the company and is in charge of product sales.

Technical Director, re-hired an overseas returnee. This person's name is Ji Mingyu, and he has been engaged in technology research and development for a long time in Motorola and Ericsson. Before coming to Charm Electronics, Ji Mingyu was already the head of the R&D department of the original company.

"You know what you know, and I won't say more. Mr. Yan, Mr. Wang, Mr. Mo, I still want to congratulate you on your brilliant achievements in the Charm Starlight 1S, and I hope you can continue to maintain it. ”

Since the beginning of this year, the salary income and bonuses of employees at all levels of Charm Electronics have increased significantly. It can be said that in addition to Huijia Holdings and Huijia International Investment, the two ace companies under Hu Yang, Charisma Electronics is the highest-paid enterprise in the entire Huijia system.

The reason is naturally that the benefits of Charm Electronics are good, and the net profit of Charm Electronics in a year is far more than that of Xintong International and Charm Semiconductor.

However, for the sake of balance, Populus euphratica did not let this gap widen too widely. In particular, Xintong International and Charm Semiconductor have their industry particularities, and the salary level of employees cannot be determined only from the perspective of efficiency.

The semiconductor industry itself is a technology-intensive industry, and talent is the top priority.

On the one hand, Populus euphratica can be said to be very generous. The treatment of the entire Huijia system is not said to be the first in China, but it can definitely rank in the top three.

Next, Wang Han reported on the research and development of the company's next-generation product, Charm Starlight 2S, and said that the new product will be released after the National Day.

Hu Yang encouraged everyone a few words, and asked Wu Xinhui to send a few people away. These are busy people, and they don't have anything to do, so they don't need to waste time here.

When the office was quiet, Hu Yang gradually frowned.

It seems that a certain country has begun to notice the rapid development of the domestic semiconductor industry, and some restrictive measures have been introduced by the other party. And the Huijia system, which is on the cusp of the storm, will not have a good time in the next few years.

"Time is already very tight, and the spare tire plans of various companies must be implemented urgently. It's just that other shortcomings are better to make up, what should we do about the shortcomings of domestic high-end lithography machines?"

Hu Yang decided to go to Modu in the past few days and go to Modu Microelectronics Company again to inspect their product research and development progress.
