Chapter 906: Crisis is the coexistence of danger and opportunity

"Courage is commendable!

Wang Weilong cocked his thumb again and praised Ruan Shouchao again. However, after praising it, he frowned slightly and said: "It takes half a year to come up with a chip that can perfectly replace Lanna and Plaster, which is not ordinary." Xiao Ruan, are you sure?"

"This is the requirement of the leadership. Feng Xiaochen answered for Ruan Shouchao with a smile on the side.

"Leader?" Wang Weilong was stunned, he pointed upwards with his hand in disbelief, meaning to ask if it was the leader above, and what he got was Feng Xiaochen's affirmative smile.

"The leaders inspected the Pujiang Integrated Circuit Industrial Park last week, and instructed our enterprises in the park to have the courage to take responsibility, show the spirit of the country's two bombs and one satellite, and be sure to break through the technical barriers as soon as possible, break the technical barriers set up by foreign countries, and fight back against technical blackmail from abroad. Our Chaoheng company has been aiming at the Lanna company and the Plaster company's control chips, has done a lot of technology accumulation, the leaders after listening to our report, asked us to come up with finished products within half a year, to meet the needs of Luoye and other enterprises. Ruan Shouchao reported.

"This ......" Wang Weilong didn't know what to say. With the instructions of the leader, he really can't continue to question, even the leader believes that Chaoheng Company can do it, what qualification does he Wang Weilong have to question it? However, what kind of existence is Lanna and Plast, Wang Weilong is also clear, relying on such a Chaoheng company alone, can compete with them?

"Of course, it won't be Chaoheng to compete with Lanna and Plast. Feng Xiaochen solved Wang Weilong's doubts, "The leader instructed that integrated circuits are our biggest bottleneck at present, and they are also the most important weight for Western countries to blackmail us. In the past, our economic strength was limited, and it was difficult to invest too much money in the integrated circuit industry, which led to the backwardness of the integrated circuit industry, which cannot be changed. In the face of such difficulties as the Sino-US trade war, we must be determined to break through this bottleneck and mobilize the strength of the whole country to this end. ”

Wang Weilong was stunned and said: "The power of the whole country, my obedient, what are you going to do?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "Two days later, a mobilization meeting for tackling key problems in the integrated circuit industry will be held in Beijing, and Xiao Ruan is here for this." Attending the meeting, there are integrated circuit enterprises all over the country, as well as the heads of the provincial and municipal development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the financial departments and bureaus, as well as the heads of many domestic universities and scientific research institutes.

In accordance with the spirit of the leadership's instructions, we have negotiated with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Central Bank, and are ready to invest no less than 5 trillion yuan in five years for the development of integrated circuits. As for manpower, the whole country will mobilize no less than 500,000 technical personnel to organize a number of enterprise clusters to divide labor and cooperate, with only one goal, that is, to fight back against blackmail!"

"5 trillion, 1 trillion per year!" Wang Weilong felt shocked, what kind of astronomical figure this is. He could fully imagine how much splash such a large sum of money could be stirred up by investing it. Ruan Shouchao claimed that within half a year, he would come up with a domestic chip comparable to the top international industrial control chips such as LNC4028, which may not be a big deal.

"Hehe, this is just the investment arranged by the state, and the investment of the private sector is not counted. Feng Xiaochen said.

Ruan Fugen straightened his chest and said: "I have thought about it, use my company as a guarantee, and raise 1 billion yuan to invest in Shouchao's company." In the past, I followed Secretary General Feng and destroyed the Autumn Club and Iketani Works. This time, my son followed Secretary General Feng, and I believe that I can still defeat that Lanna, and Pu or something, too!"

"Lao Ruan, you just need to have this heart, you don't need to invest so much. Feng Xiaochen hurriedly persuaded, "We want to engage in integrated circuits, but we can't lose these things like chemical equipment." You can do what you can, and I will arrange for the funds they need to be taken out from the state's big fund, after all, Chaoheng Company is also an enterprise that the leaders have named to support. ”

"Let's make such a big move, I guess there will be a reaction from abroad, right?" Wang Weilong asked worriedly.

Feng Xiaochen said: "This is a provocation by the Americans, and we are just protecting ourselves, what can Mei Pu say? We have always said that a crisis is the coexistence of danger and opportunity, and Mei Pu has actually provided us with an opportunity to target us in this way. ”

There are some mutual constraints between countries, and it is not that a certain country can do whatever it wants. Some of these constraints exist in the form of agreements, while others are merely tacit agreements.

For example, after World War I, the United States, Britain, France, Italy, and Japan signed the "Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments," stipulating that the development of the main warships by each country must conform to the agreed tonnage ratio, and no country can expand its military without authorization. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union also had similar agreements, such as how many nuclear warheads each side would keep. The purpose of such agreements is to avoid unnecessary competition between countries, which leads to a waste of resources, which is beneficial to all the signatories.

On the economic side, there is also a need to maintain a balance between countries in order to achieve a win-win situation. For example, if a country invests a large amount of resources in a certain field, it will threaten the similar industries of other countries, and other countries can only follow suit for self-preservation, which will inevitably lead to too many resources invested in this field, which is a loss for all parties. The WTO stipulates that the government cannot subsidize the industry, because it is worried that such government actions will lead to unnecessary competition between countries.

Since the 80s of the last century, China's industry has developed rapidly, accounting for a rising proportion of the world's total industrial output, which has caused dissatisfaction in Western countries. However, due to the complementary relationship between China's industrial structure and the West, China's advantage is mainly in labor-intensive products, and this is precisely the field that the West has abandoned, so China and the West can still maintain good cooperative relations.

In recent years, with the upgrading of China's industry, Chinese products have begun to pose a threat to the West, and economic friction between China and foreign countries has increased as a result. The essence of the anti-dumping investigations frequently launched by the West against China is to protect its own industry from the impact of "Made in China". In order to obstruct China's entry into a higher industrial level, Western countries have begun to increase their technological blockade of China, adopting various methods such as embargo on equipment, interrupting technological exchanges, obstructing Chinese-funded enterprises from acquiring Western high-tech enterprises, and cracking down on China's advanced enterprises.

In order to avoid irritating Western countries, China has taken a relatively low-key approach to technological development, especially by refraining from using a national system to promote the development of a particular technology as much as possible. In layman's terms, it is to leave a line in doing things, so that others also have a way to live, so as not to make others jump off the wall in a hurry.

Specific to the development of integrated circuits, the country could have invested more, and some aspects could also take a little trade protection measures to promote the application of domestic technology. But in order to avoid irritating Western countries, especially the United States, we did not do this, but only relied on market forces to allow private enterprises like Chaoheng to grow quietly.

Some people say, "Why should I look at other people's faces when I develop technology myself?" Isn't this spineless? In fact, the development of technology is not just a matter of backbone, the whole world is a complete system, and no country can develop independently without others. If you want to engage in integrated circuits, do you want to buy equipment from abroad, do you want to read foreign technical materials, do you want to send technical personnel to study abroad? If everyone tears their faces and completely blocks you, you will indeed be able to break through these obstacles with your own strength, but you will not be able to afford the loss of time.

Now, Mapp has issued a chip ban, which is equivalent to tearing the face with China. Under such circumstances, China has taken some necessary measures to protect itself, and who can say anything? When other Western countries see this situation, they will only say that Meipu provoked first and China responded last, and it is not that China really wants to steal everyone's jobs, but that Meipu is bullying people too fiercely. China is actually very cute, and if you treat it well, it will not be embarrassed by everyone.

There is a saying in ancient China that a teacher is famous, and this is the truth.

Now that Mepp has put the name in the hands of the Chinese, China will be fools if it does not seize this opportunity and justifiably vigorously develop the integrated circuit industry. As for the annual investment of 1 trillion yuan, it is nothing compared to China's size.

"I see. Wang Weilong was relieved, with the instructions of the leaders and the country's full investment, the advent of domestic chips is indeed just around the corner. Luo Ye still has some Lanna chips in stock, and some foreign orders are not so anxious, it is completely okay to drag on for a few months, and if Chaoheng and other companies can really come up with qualified chips, Luo Ye's dilemma will be solved.

"So, Xiaochen, what can we, as a user company, do?" Wang Weilong asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "First, if you have money, you will have the power to contribute. The state will raise funds through the issuance of bonds, and if your company has surplus funds, you are welcome to buy bonds, the more the merrier. In addition, regarding the performance requirements of industrial control chips, your user companies have the most right to speak, and you need to send competent engineers to help integrated circuit companies improve their design. ”

"No problem, we are totally able to do it. Wang Weilong said.

"As for the second point...... Feng Xiaochen dragged out a long speech and said: "That is, you have to make a commitment, once domestic companies come up with products that can be similar in performance and quality to foreign chips, even if they are slightly worse, you must give priority to using domestic chips." Don't wait for the United States to lift the chip ban, and you will buy American chips again. ”

"Haha, I see. Xiaochen, don't worry, we know what we have to do. Lanna wants to sell chips to us, and he will pay the 5 billion claim first, otherwise, everything will not be discussed. Wang Weilong replied with a smile.
