Chapter 240: Money is still Less
However, the relevant departments were pleasantly surprised and uneasy. They are anxiously awaiting the reaction of other countries, especially Western countries, led by the United States, after the emergence of monocrystalline silicon on the international market. They are worried that Western countries will take advantage of the problem and not only punish those foreign companies that purchase China's monocrystalline silicon, but also set off another round of embargo climax in the world.
To everyone's surprise, what they feared did not happen, and the result was much more than they expected: since Western countries learned that China can produce and export high-quality silicon wafers, not only did they not use the power of the government to control monocrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon, The embargo on silicon wafers, and at the same time punish those enterprises that have purchased monocrystalline silicon, but acquiesce in the import of those enterprises, and at the same time relax the restrictions on certain high-tech to China, and begin to agree with some Western enterprises to export high-tech equipment in certain fields to China.
This is equivalent to opening a small gap in the embargo policy of Western countries.
This makes many people happy and surprised at the same time: what is wrong with the West, how can such an abnormal situation occur?
Only Jiang Xinwei understands that the countries in the West who are clamoring for an embargo against our country are, in the final analysis, a group of mercenary groups, they do not really care about the fate of our country, they are most concerned about whether they can obtain the economic benefits they want in our country, and the so-called embargo launched before is just a means, the purpose is to force our government to comply, obey the arrangements of Western countries, and let our country import a steady stream of economic benefits for them.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of their high-tech blockade in our country is to make our country's technology always inferior to theirs, so that our enterprises can only be suppliers of low-grade and low-profit products and even raw materials, and let them earn some of the high profits.
However, once our country's technology surpasses them in a certain field, they will not be able to stay still and immediately lift the embargo in this field. In order to let their products flock into our country, on the one hand, to earn the profits they hope for very quickly, and on the other hand, they hope to squeeze our own production enterprises with their strong manufacturing capacity, high industrialization, large batch size and low cost, so as to plunder for a long time.
This kind of thing abounds in Jiang Xinwei's memory: when China's program-controlled switches were not developed, the price-high prices of imported foreign program-controlled switches were sky-high, once China developed and put them into production. The price of foreign program-controlled switches immediately dropped, and even far lower than the production cost of China's program-controlled switches. Although China's labor costs and labor costs are very cheap, the cost is inevitably high when it starts production, and key components need to be imported.
This is true for electronic products, this is true for precision machine tools, and even more so for military equipment, and even more so for life-saving medicines: if our country cannot manufacture some kind of medicine for the treatment of Yan zhòng's disease, foreign merchants will sell it to our country at a high price. In order to treat seriously ill patients, we had to grit our teeth and buy it, but as soon as our country was able to produce this drug or similar drugs, foreign manufacturers immediately lowered the price by a large margin, until our own production of this drug was very profitable or even unprofitable.
Although the state can curb this phenomenon by means of anti-dumping and anti-monopoly, the price reduction is something that the majority of customers, especially the common people, are happy to see, and in addition, when Chinese enterprises have just begun to produce this kind of goods, there are inevitably such and such problems, and the quality is likely to be not as good as that of imports, which leads the country to have many concerns. A lot of tricks don't really stop the gringos' rogue moves.
It can be said that the only way to break the trick of the foreign guys is to quickly surpass them yourself. Let them follow in their own footsteps, otherwise, no matter what they do, they will suffer.
……
With the appearance of monocrystalline silicon and silicon wafers carefully produced by Dai Lao and them in Europe, Western countries quickly relaxed the restrictions on the export of monocrystalline silicon and silicon wafers to China, and also relaxed the export restrictions on ordinary chip processing equipment.
Although the ultimate purpose of this opening by Western countries is for them to enter more relevant products that are not eye-catching into our market, it still has some benefits for our country. Especially in politics, there are many benefits.
For Jiang Xinwei, the benefits are even more obvious: first, Jiang Xinwei's telephones, wireless paging and transmission systems need to be used for chips, electronic components, etc., no longer need to be concealed, and can be purchased from the United States or Europe openly, which can not only save a lot of additional costs. The main thing is to save a lot of time and greatly speed up the logistics operation.
Second, Jiang Xinwei can also import a lot of equipment for integrated circuit processing, can purchase some laser etching machines or something, although it can not meet the needs of high-precision large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing, but it is enough to produce some integrated circuit chips, the production of some ordinary semiconductor electronic components, as long as you have money, you can start to prepare for the chip processing plant, you can slowly cultivate talents, slowly carry out knowledge and technical reserves.
It can be said that the preparation of the chip manufacturing plant has been put on the agenda by Jiang Xinwei, instead of preparing a chip research room as Dai Lao said before.
Preparing for a manufacturing plant and preparing for a research laboratory are completely different corporate behaviors, and both the capital investment and future operation are very different. Although the investment and energy in the preparation of the manufacturing plant are huge, but the effect is also remarkable, Jiang Xinwei can completely let the workers produce simple, precision requirements and can be used in the production of semiconductor electronic components, while using the profits earned to maintain the scientific research operation of the researchers in the factory, purchase the instruments and equipment needed for scientific research and production, let them support themselves, and even submit profits to the headquarters in a short time.
The factory itself is able to continuously improve the level of technology in production and improve the precision of its products step by step, unlike a pure research laboratory, which requires continuous investment from the company's headquarters.
With the liberalization of export restrictions on monocrystalline silicon to China by Western countries, Jiang Xinwei also received other good news: the sale of the brand agency rights of the telephone set has obtained two huge sums, the first of which is that the Italian company Etna Communications spent 1.5 million US dollars to buy the agency rights of the telephone set in Europe. The second was a connection with Guò Etna Communications, with which a Canadian company had business dealings had bought the rights to represent the telephone in North America for $1.8 million.
This was the case with the microprocessor production reserve he desperately needed.
After the contract was formally signed, the German company Defineon immediately sent experts to Shuangzhou City to conduct technical consultations and technical negotiations with Jiang Xinwei on the specific processing of microprocessors, and signed relevant confidentiality agreements and future strategic cooperation agreements.
The content of the strategic cooperation includes: under the premise that Defineon can basically meet the needs of chip production capacity, Feixun will give priority to the purchase of Defineon's products, and when Defineon cannot meet the production capacity needs of Feixun, it shall not arbitrarily increase the number of products purchased from Defineon's competitors; Defineon shall increase its chip production capacity as much as possible and improve the quality of its products as much as possible at the request of Feixun; Feixun has the right to purchase products from any other merchant when the quality of products is insufficient compared with that of other companies; and the two parties agree to jointly fund and raise a new silicon wafer processing plant after the expiration of the three-year cooperation period, chip packaging factory, chip testing factory, equity is divided according to the capital contribution, technology and market of both parties.
In addition, the parties also agreed on the sales price of the product and the principle of price change. At the same time, Defineon has agreed to print the company name and the company logo on the chip at the same time.
……
Soon after the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement, Defineon officially notified Jiang Xinwei that the production of microprocessors was officially launched.
Knowing that Defineon Company had officially started to produce microprocessors of its own design, Jiang Xinwei was excited: Great! I have finally caught up with the wave of big consumption of pagers and analog mobile phones! With this microprocessor, I am not only a participant in these two waves, but also bound to be the leader and leader of these two waves.
According to the development history of pagers in the previous life, there are still three to four years to brew for the outbreak of pagers, and Jiang Xinwei still has three to four years to prepare.
In these four years, he must establish a production line that can produce pagers in large quantities, must prepare enough production workshops, enough raw materials, and especially must train enough skilled workers, without these preparations, he will not be able to seize much market share in the future, you must know that he will compete with the world's famous high-tech electronics manufacturers Motorola, Philips, Nokia and other giants.
The first thing you need to complete this grand plan is funding, a huge amount of money.
Jiang Xinwei really felt that there was less money at this time, in the eyes of others, he was already a huge rich man who could use millions of dollars, but he knew that he was still a poor man, and the funds he currently had were far from enough.
In his opinion, if he has enough money, he can now reserve the shell, auxiliary parts, peripheral electronic components of the pager, print product manuals, and produce packaging boxes...... , you can even start assembling some parts.
When the microprocessor of its own design arrives, as long as it is installed, it can quickly become a high-quality finished product and be launched into the market, and quickly occupy the market to catch foreign manufacturers off guard.
Thinking of the current situation of funds, plants, technicians, etc., Jiang Xinwei shook his head a little helplessly.
