Chapter 675 - Reaping the Foreign IQ Tax
Kevin is one of the people in the audience who feels the most cold in his heart.
After today, there is no doubt that the rover's share price will go all the way up.
However, with the advent of the general-purpose quantum computer of Shenwei Wuliang, there is no doubt that the life cycle expectations of the entire computer industry, from CPU to memory, have been greatly reduced.
As a product that is likely to withdraw from the stage of history, how optimistic can the future of this industry be?
The problem is that in the past three years, Kevin has invested a lot of money in this field.
3D Flash, 4th Gen Memory, CPU...... The total scale of technology transfer costs and funds invested in industrial upgrading is more than 100 billion.
These inputs, that is, from the beginning of a few years, began to have a stable return on output.
Now, out of nowhere, a general-purpose quantum computer has been born...... How long can I make this piece of money? I'm afraid that it will be less than one or two times shorter than the original estimate?
Everything depends on the speed of Gu Song's technical iteration.
If the second generation of Shenwei released next year is immeasurable, and it directly enters the 10,000 or even 100,000 level qubits, Kevin will only accept it numbly.
After all, it was Gu Song who had been creating miracles.
As a first-hand core patent operator outside of the Flint Group, Kevin will not lose. He paid Gu Song, and the companies that obtained patent authorization from him also paid him.
However, in order to make enough money, it also depends on the licensing fee for a longer period of time.
Especially the big head in the back, which is directly linked to the shipment.
Now, times have changed.
It's been three years since such a huge amount of money, if you can't make more than one or two times as much, how is it different from losing?
Kevin felt cold for a partner in an entire industry.
……
As soon as the press conference ended, the shares of Digital China and Roamer rose in the stock market.
Without knowing the truth, other companies with research in the field of quantum computing, including Intel, have also risen.
But those who really understand the immeasurable edge of this divine power know that there may be an element of short speculation here.
The giants under the existing computing architecture obviously cannot maintain their previous position in the field of quantum computing in the future. The decline in their stocks is the general trend, but the analysis is not so thorough now.
As soon as the press conference ended, the problems in front of big enterprises and big people came.
These 15 Shenwei immeasurable spots, to buy or not to buy?
If you buy it, it will cost $66.66 million a unit. With such a large investment, the necessary internal decision-making process must be taken.
If you want to go through the decision-making process, if there is really an opponent who is very bold and starts immediately, looking at the world, there are definitely many teams and even countries with such strength, and then you need to wait for the order to produce, and only receive the goods after a few months?
Is this time wasted like this?
And not to buy ...... It's more just a decision by someone who simply can't afford it, or who struggles to afford it.
Some people also think that this price is a bit of an IQ tax.
Because of the Flint Group, it is clear that the technology that has been mastered is much more than 128 qubits.
Knowing that people have a sword in their hands, but spending a lot of money to buy a sword hilt from someone else's hand and come back to study, how do you see how some people are stupid and have a lot of money.
The question is...... I can't see the sword, but I hide it tightly......
……
The technology of quantum computing is an absolute bargaining chip and will not be released for the time being.
But the product is different.
In this regard, Gu Song was given permission.
Because it's a matter of standards and discourse.
The Flint Group has proven the viability of quantum computers, and a lot of money is already being poured into this field. It is only a matter of time before people make a breakthrough.
It is better to take action at this time than to have their own routes when others have their own routes, and then rely on the industrial influence they have accumulated to forcibly expel good money.
Drain the morale of others, consume their research time in this field, and divide their camp.
It depends on how the means will be used in the next summit and subsequent industry exchanges.
And how difficult is it to analyze a full set of technologies from these products?
Besides, there are so many of them now, what should I do if I break it?
This divine power is immeasurable, is it so easy to dismantle?
At least the so-called high-temperature superconducting material actually only refers to the temperature above the liquid nitrogen, which is also a lot below zero! The core of quantum computing is sealed in such an environment.
Gu Song estimated that they would carefully observe and analyze the operating state, and then first come to the first conclusion: the flint group has mastered a high-temperature superconducting material.
If they are ruthless, at the risk of destroying this high-priced quantum computer, they will take everything apart and analyze the material, and they will come to a conclusion about what this material is.
And then what?
At an expensive cost, copy one?
It's so easy, all the supporting parts are more than just one material that makes up a quantum gate.
Therefore, now I am not afraid to sell products, just to see if anyone buys them.
……
With such a strategic-level product, why worry about sales?
Less than 1 hour after the end of the press conference, the first order was confirmed.
And like a blowout, in less than half an hour, dozens of formal order requests were received.
There is no negotiation, so I want to get it as soon as possible and start research.
Among the buyers, there are giants such as Intel, Microsoft, and Apple, as well as someone like Kevin, and naturally there are also official scientific research institutions in some countries.
The reply of the flintstone group is very simple, as long as you come with the formal procedures and can pay immediately after signing the contract, then you will sign the contract and deliver it in the order of first come, first served.
So before the high-level summit on space development began, I didn't even get the opportunity to chat with Gu Song alone, so I had to endure the discomfort of being charged IQ tax, and queue up to sign a contract with the Flint Group to pay the money.
That's not a small amount of money.
One is 66.66 million US dollars, how much is 50 units? More than 3 billion US dollars.
In such a state of mind, is it really good to participate in the summit again?
A kind of thinking about why we are so weak has begun to spread in the hearts of some people......
……
In China, there is naturally no such injustice.
First of all, the key institutions have already obtained the technical principles since the beginning of last year and carried out research in their own specific fields.
The official institutions have no idea of competing with the Flint Group for industrial interests.
Unofficial corporate ...... Compete with the Flint Group in this field?
That's too much to overload.
So when this news report came out, the general public in China really felt from their hearts that the times had really changed.
When did Huaguo suddenly have a product like the high-end lithography machine in the past, which is the only one in the world, which is ridiculously expensive. And no matter how hard your background and how large your wealth is, you can only buy it here?
When the 50th order was signed, less than 48 hours passed before the end of the press conference.
In 2 days, the rover harvested $3.333 billion from the world's major giants and even major powers.
Guo Wei invested a lot of money in the frontier fund at that time!
Under the personal escort of people from all sides, 15 Shenwei units were transported out of the factory in Wuhu, to the wharf, packed, and shipped.
In Yanjing, on September 12, the high-level summit on space development, which had been prepared for many days, was finally held.
There was no cut-through opening ceremony, no reporters.
In the largest conference room of the Yanjing Hotel, relevant participants gathered.
In the middle is a circular conference table, and the people who are seated, each of them are very important.
Bao Jiaqi and Diane sat opposite.
Gu Song sat next to Bao Jiaqi, and he happened to be opposite Musk.
The chief officer of Huaguo Aerospace System, the head of NASA, is also opposite.
At this round table, Flint Aerospace occupied two seats, and Jian Yushu was also present.
In addition, there are representatives of major countries that already have independent space exploration capabilities.
The circular seating area outside the round table is occupied by other delegates, most of whom are parties to the outer space treaty and do not have much capacity in independent space.
The distinction between primary and secondary is clear at a glance.
Inviting them to participate is a gesture.
But the rules will only be decided within the confines of this round table!
