At the beginning of the establishment of the "fantasy" group, there were two choices, one is to develop its own computer brand, this choice requires a lot of funds, talents, technology, no ten or eight years can not see the results, but in the end there is still a high probability of failure, and even the company can not even see the day of R & D failure, the biggest possibility is because of a large amount of investment in R & D expenses resulting in enterprise bankruptcy failure.

The second option is to give up the research and development of chips, and invest heavily in other components and assembly, and strive to greatly reduce the cost, and then occupy the market through price.

Introducing core components, then manufacturing peripheral parts by yourself, opening distribution channels through price, and even omitting intermediate agents, is a new business model, which is the so-called direct sales.

In this regard, the United States also has lessons from the past, such as the well-known Dell computer in the United States, Dell Computer Company does not engage in research and development, at least does not invest in core component chips, and some other components will be done, such as hard disks, memory, shell and so on, they focus on assembly and sales channels, with these two methods to reduce costs, so the cost of the computer they assemble is lower, the price is lower, the people like it very much, but the sale of such a computer Dell company does not make much profit, but won in the shipment, the most brilliant time can be called with Intel company, let the other party reduce the price of chips.

The model adopted by the "Fantasy" group is the same, assembly and sales channels, of course, there are some self-produced parts, but the added value of these parts is not high, and it can only be regarded as gross profit.

This method is the fastest way for enterprises to make profits, and Liu Lang feels that it is also the key to the survival of the "Fantasy" Group and its ability to become bigger and stronger, and it can even be said that it is the only choice under the conditions of the previous life.

As for the ridicule of the Chinese people for him later, it is completely from the perspective of industrial development, which is unfair to the "fantasy" group, you can take on the responsibility for the development of the entire industry if you have the ability and conditions, and if you have no ability and no conditions, you have to come hard, then the result is the end.

Therefore, the "Fantasy" group in the previous life also made a path that is most suitable for its own development, which is understandable from the perspective of its own company's development, Liu Lang expressed sympathy.

It's just that the situation is a little different in this life, the country has SMIC, and it has a strong manufacturing capacity in chip manufacturing, of course, SMIC only has an advantage in manufacturing, and there is no advantage in design, you must know that a chip from scratch includes many programs.

First of all, the purification of semiconductors, the content of silicon should be purified to about 99.99 percent, which is the first difficulty, and the technology of many developed countries cannot reach it.

These high-purity materials are then polished into wafers in a special process, and then tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of components are etched on the wafers with a lithography machine.

This does not include the architecture design of components, the design is basically monopolized by foreign developed countries, such as VIE's chip architecture is designed by a British company, and Intel also has a chip architecture.

Now SMIC's main focus is on wafer manufacturing, and the other party uses it to design and I etch according to the design, which is similar to TSMC in the previous life, which is also a kind of foundry, but it is the highest level of foundry.

It is true that SMIC has not yet reached the ability to cover the entire chip industry chain, but the country's chip industry in this world is still much stronger than in the previous life, and it is basically not too far behind by foreign developed countries, and has great potential.

Compared with countries like the United States and island countries, there is a gap between them, but they are not necessarily much weaker than South Korea, and even have advantages, because the country has established a national United Communications Group around SMIC, merging more than a dozen large-scale semiconductor industries in the country, and the industrial chain has extended to semiconductor processing, purification, lithography machine development and many other aspects, and it is rare for the whole world to have such a complete industrial chain, which may be comparable to the United States.

In this situation, the "Fantasy" group should actually change something, such as trying to make self-developed chips, and it is likely that the state will also require him to do so.

The economic base determines the way of thinking, in the same era of the previous life, that is, around 90 years, the country's semiconductor industry has distanced itself from European and American countries, and it is undoubtedly more difficult to chase it.

And this life is different, the country began chip manufacturing as early as seven or eight years ago, and the related semiconductor industry has developed as a result, on this basis, of course, the thinking must be changed, to move towards better standards, and the "fantasy" group is the biggest opportunity, as long as this opportunity is grasped, it depends on Yang Zhichuan, so Yang Zhichuan will do it?

According to Liu Lang's idea, this thing must be done, because this is related to the lifeblood of the country's future information development, VIE is now very close to the country in this regard, but the other party is an American company after all, the United States has been eyeing it, in order to survive VIE Company can not take out all the core technology to share, only a completely free from the jurisdiction of foreign forces can be trusted.

Liu Lang thought of a method, this method is simple and crude, that is, let the state directly participate, because today's "fantasy" group is not Yang Zhichuan's personal property, it is an asset belonging to the research institute, Yang Zhichuan only has the right to manage and has no ownership, and he will not be able to privatize it until four years later, if the state makes a move, he will not dare to disobey, but in that case it will affect Yang Zhichuan's enthusiasm, he is an excellent entrepreneur, if he is provoked, it will be a loss for the country.

There is another way, that is, Liu Lang made a move into the "Fantasy" group, taking the way of Gemei Air Conditioning Factory, I paid you to invest in research and development, but I don't care about your operation.

"Looks like it's time for me to show up again!"

Liu Lang thought about it and there was only the second way to be better, at this time it was really good to see the money, any enterprise development is inseparable from money, but there are not many rich people in China during this time period, the early stage of enterprise development is through bank loans to get the first pot of gold, such as Ren Weitian of Guowei Company, when Liu Lang and the other party first met, he tried his best for a loan of five million yuan, five million yuan is life-saving money for him, but for Liu Lang is change, casually threw him tens of millions of dollars, to solve the problem of the early development of Guowei company。

This method has been tried and tested repeatedly, and now Liu Lang is ready to do it again in the "Fantasy" group, and he must let Yang Zhichuan "comply".
