Chapter 1496: A History of Semiconductor Chip Hegemony

The drinking team composed of Chen Dao, Zhang Shan and Li Kaiyun was officially established.

These three people don't know each other if they don't drink, and they hate to see each other late at this time, and they get together to exchange wine scriptures.

Wan Feng, on the other hand, was reading some books that he couldn't see outside at all.

The newspapers were stacked in the army's library, and Wan Feng ran here to read the newspaper after the selection of the drinking team.

Because here are some inside information books and newspapers that you can't see in the world.

Of course, it is now in a state of decryption.

Wan Feng mainly flipped through those newspaper documents with internal reference words or something.

On a reference message that I don't know if it was last year or this year, an article caught Wan Feng's attention.

What initially caught Wan Feng's attention was not the article itself, but a chart.

There are four lines on this chart, and the names of four countries and regions are written on the four lines: Rice Country, Ilbong, South Korea, and Dumb Bend.

It was these four names that aroused Wan Feng's curiosity.

The United States was one of the two superpowers at that time, and the two colonies of the United States, which were still called South Korea at that time, were the two colonies of the United States, and the Silent Bend was also regarded as the colonies of the United States.

These two countries and regions are the three dogs that the United States put in front of the gate of China in order to block China.

Wan Feng thought it was a political article, but at first glance, it turned out to be about the semiconductor storage business.

Wan Feng immediately became interested, and spent an hour reading this piece of genuine and very small article from beginning to end.

After reading this article, Wan Feng had a clear understanding of the international semiconductor chip at that time.

The early 80s was the highlight of the semiconductor chip company.

Intel, AMD and other Chinese companies in the field of semiconductor storage have been beaten by Japanese stupid people.

The development model of Mi Guo enterprises has always been to inject capital into start-ups through venture capital, and start-ups carry out scientific experiments and technological innovations after obtaining financial support, and then launch products to obtain markets, improve the company's valuation, and finally go public, and venture capital sells stocks to make a profit and exits.

This model was not only mainstream at the time, but continued to do so decades later.

Before Wanfeng's rebirth, countless private enterprises in China were also following this path.

This model is market-oriented, fast fundraising, high efficiency and low risk.

However, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the volume is small, and it is difficult to integrate resources between companies.

At that time, the development of this field was completely different from that of this market economy, that is, it adopted the common practice of socialist countries at that time: concentrating on doing big things.

The government approved the development plan for ultra-large scale integrated circuits (VLSIs) in '74, and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry organized five companies, including Hitachi, NEC, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Toshiba, to enter the field of semiconductor chips in an all-round way.

Under the integration of a person named Yasufu Sui, the Japanese Ben people began to launch an attack on the king of this field, Silicon Valley.

By the 80s, the company had obtained thousands of patents, greatly narrowing the technological gap with Silicon Valley.

At this time, the government gave these strong support with loans and tax incentives.

Well-funded companies, these companies began to launch saturation attacks.

In the five years from 80 to 85, Riben occupied more than half of the market share, and the people of the United States were left behind.

These high-tech companies in Silicon Valley are desperate after visiting the Rigben company on the island of Kyushu.

An entire building is used for memory chip research and development, with 16KB capacity developed by personnel on the first floor, 64KB by personnel on the second floor, and 256KB by personnel on the third floor.

The three-arrowed research method of the day stupid makes Silicon Valley companies that are accustomed to wiping their butts with one hand powerless.

And what makes Americans even more desperate is that the memory chips of the day are not only large in quantity, but also of good quality.

These Silicon Valley tech companies tested the quality of memory chips in both countries, hoping to find weaknesses in their rivals, and found that the highest quality memory chips in the United States were worse than those of the worst quality.

It was in this environment that these companies in Silicon Valley failed.

In '85, Intel surrendered and announced its withdrawal from the DRAM storage business, and it was already on the verge of bankruptcy.

If IBM hadn't pulled it up and bought 12% of its bonds to guarantee cash flow, whether this late-stage company would exist or not is two words.

At this time, the rogue nature of the Mi people began to perform.

Yes, or the same excuse that has been used for more than 10,000 years: to threaten the national security of the United States.

In the spring of 1986, Nippon was found to have dumped read-only memory; in September, the "Miri-Japan Semiconductor Agreement" was signed, and Japan was required to open up the semiconductor market and ensure that foreign companies would gain 20% of the market share within five years; soon after, 100% punitive tariffs were imposed on Japan's $300 million chip exports; and Fujitsu's acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor was vetoed.

And accuse the Japanese stupid enterprise of unreasonable policies, which must be changed.

In accordance with their policies.

It was from this time onwards that in the next two or three decades, the United States began to rectify those foreign companies that wanted to put their companies to death under the pretext of threatening its security at every turn, the most famous of which was Alstom, the country of development.

With the signing of the "Mi-Japan Semiconductor Agreement", the Japanese semiconductor chip industry, which is at the top of the wave, turned around and slipped into the abyss.

Among them, DRAM has been hit the hardest, falling from a peak of nearly 80% of the global market share to just over 60% now.

That chart is a map of eight or nine years.

At this time, Riben still occupies more than 60 percent of the share in this field, and 20 percent in the United States.

The cold country and the stupid bend each account for about 10 percent.

Anything further down is gone.

Wan Feng laughed when he saw this.

He doesn't know this history very well, but he probably knows that in the 80s, Riben and the United States had a chip war.

Now it's clear to him.

Don't look at the eight or nine years when the Japanese companies still occupied a share of up to 60% of the memory chip industry, don't look at this newspaper, there is no more here.

But what happened next, Wan Feng knew!

If it weren't for Zhongxing's choking by the United States, and before Wan Feng was reborn, Wan Feng would not have been idle to learn about computer chips.

It was this incident that gave him a more detailed understanding of the development of many things in this field in those days.

By 10 years, the market share of Japanese companies in this field is 10%, and the market share of rice is still 20%, so where is the remaining 70%?

Yes, to the belly of the three stars of the cold country.

When Japan began to decline, and the United States could not recover the lost ground, Samsung ran out in the nineties, by hugging the thighs of the Chinese people, through the gap between 100% and 0.7% anti-dumping duties, defeated the Japanese Ben enterprises in one fell swoop, and successfully occupied the huge market of DRAM.
