"Edward, you told me about this two days ago, and I also called VIE to order one, but they have sold out, and all the computers have been sold out this year, and we can only buy them next year!"

Lucas said, spreading his hands.

"What? next year? It's only May, and I'm going to wait seven months to scribble on paper with a pen, I can't wait that long!"

The other party is a little crazy.

As a computer science graduate, Cattermor was already keenly aware of the huge impact this software would have on filmmaking before anyone else could understand what was going on, and that it was a program designed for movie special effects!

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, everyone!"

Liu Lang found a bench next to a monster model and sat down.

"George, do you remember what I told you a month ago? It was about computers, how about it?

Before the acquisition of Industrial Light & Magic, Liu Lang had told Lucas that the special effects of future movies would rely on computers, and the era of handmade production would soon be gone.

"Liu Lang, Wan'an's computer is indeed helpful for movie special effects, but in my opinion, it doesn't help much, the picture is just static, at best, it can only make us more efficient, if it is to make cartoons, it should be very good in terms of effect, but I am afraid that making movies will not play a big role, you must know that movies are dynamic, you need to shoot with real objects, far from being able to solve it with a few photos!"

Lucas thought for a moment before speaking.

"What do you think, Edward?"

Liu Lang looked at Edward with a smile.

"This ......... Boss, you still have some truth in what you say, but ......... I always feel that the use of the computer is not only these, the movie is indeed dynamic, but in our optical category, the dynamic action is actually composed of pictures, whether it is animation or the real thing, now VIE has an image processing program, if you go one step deeper, with a more powerful picture processing program, then it is possible to analyze all the actions to a static state, forming a series of pictures, in theory is a kind of ......... One, how to say it! It should be called .........!"

Edward thought about it and couldn't come up with a term.

"Edward, are you talking about motion capture?"

Liu Lang answered for the other party.

"That's right, it's the motion capture function, which can show every action as a static picture, and then modify it, and then restore it back after modification, which will become a new action, which is likely to be a picture that we can't usually imagine!"

Edward nodded repeatedly.

"Haha, Edward, we want to go together, you're right, the latest generation of movie special effects must be built on a powerful computer processing program, that is, a motion capture program, with this kind of program, movie time will be presented in an unimaginable image in front of us, such as Transformers, it will appear on the big screen as a real person, which brings us a much more powerful shock than cartoons!"

Liu Lang and Edward, you said a word, Edward listened to the frequent nodding, in the face of Liu Lang is full of respect, he did not expect this little boss to reach such a height in the understanding of the computer, than he is much stronger than this computer graduate, but Lucas listened to a confused, although he knows the computer, but the understanding of the computer is naturally incomparable with the two, in his mind, or stay at the level of shooting with traditional models, the so-called virtual motion capture does not even have a little cognition, but he is also a flexible person, after listening to it for a long time, he immediately found that this kind of computer is indeed widely used, far from being as useless as he thinks now.

"Liu, it's useless to say this, Edward said, we lack a computer now, I called Wanan Company the day before yesterday, but unfortunately they don't have it in stock, and the appointment will have to wait until next year, you are the boss, now let's see what to do?"

Lucas shrugged.

"That's easy, I'll give them a call!"

Liu Lang walked to the phone.

"You don't have to fight, it's useless to fight!"

Lucas reminded again.

"Hehe, George, my phone call is not the same as yours!"

"What's the difference?"

"Look at it!"

Liu Lang picked up the phone and directly called Wan An's office.

"Hello, who is it?"

Wan An's voice came immediately, and this call was known very little, only the middle level of the company and the CEOs of some large companies knew about it.

"Hello old man! I'm Liu Lang!"

"Haha, it turned out to be you, a little guy, I heard that you came to the United States again, why don't you come to sit with me?"

Hearing that it was Liu Lang, the other party immediately smiled, Wan'an Company's new products are directly related to Liu Lang, without Liu Lang, they will definitely not have a photoshop1 program system.

"That's the old gentleman, I need a new computer with the photoshop1 program, does Wanan have it in stock?"

Liu Lang asked.

"Of course there is, of course there is, no one else has, how many computers do you want......... No, your SMIC's current production capacity is enough to choke! It's only 200 yuan a month, which is too little, you must know that Wanwan's current production capacity is more than 1,300 yuan a month, which is six times that of yours, and SMIC can't lag behind! You have to urge them to work overtime!"

Liu Lang's request for a computer is a matter of one sentence, Wan'an is most worried about the production capacity, as long as the production capacity can keep up, it is simply how much can be sold.

"Mr. Lao, SMIC has only been established for less than a year, relying on China's old foundation to achieve mass production is already good, if you want to catch up with Wanwan, I'm afraid it will take a while, but you can rest assured, now that the sales in the United States are up, SMIC will definitely make adjustments, according to the normal output, the wafer production line can reach 9,000 pieces per year, I believe it won't take long for the mainland to meet your needs!"

The wafer production line was imported from the island country six years ago, and the maximum production capacity was 9,000 pieces per year, and later Liu Lang and Zhou Ming transformed and upgraded this production line, because the speed was required at that time, so the requirements were reduced in terms of production capacity, and Liu Lang wanted to increase the production capacity after completing the upgrade, but this still required a lot of money。

According to the agreement signed between SMIC and VIE, for every chip sold, SMIC has a 40 percent profit share, and now the sales price of VIE's chips is about 1,200 US dollars, and the profit margin reaches 70 percent, reaching 840 US dollars, and the 4 achievements of 840 US dollars are 336 US dollars, which can be said to be very high.

The cost of manufacturing a chip at SMIC is about 1,000 yuan, which is about 200 yuan when converted into US dollars, and the net profit is 136 US dollars, which is already very high.
