As the core of the information industry era, the importance of chips is self-evident.

Some top chip manufacturers, such as Intel, can even reach more than 60% of their profits, which is definitely a huge profit as a legitimate large-scale industry.

For a long time, high-end chips have been controlled by others, which is a lingering shadow on "Made in China" and "Chinese Economy".

Huaxia spends hundreds of billions of dollars every year to import high-end chips from foreign countries, which can be described as costly.

Imagine a company that has to spend a lot of money to import chips from abroad due to the indispensable performance of high-end chips. In this way, the cost of each product it produces will be greatly increased.

It stands to reason that the cost is high, and the price must also increase.

However, if the company really raises the price according to the cost of hardware, it will make its products lose their cost performance, lose their competitiveness, and will not be able to sell, which will eventually lead to the bankruptcy of the company.

In order to be able to sell the product, the company has no choice but to reduce costs in other ways - such as labor costs.

As a result, not only workers are squeezed, but domestic products are also prone to cutting corners, counterfeiting and shoddy products, and various social problems have evolved.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, even in the economic society and the global society. If your own technology is not good, you can only let others squeeze and bully.

Huaxia's so-called "transformation" is to a large extent to improve the domestic level of high-end technologies such as chips, so that Huaxia enterprises can gain stronger competitiveness, and create more jobs, higher worker treatment, and better product quality with lower hardware costs, so as to have a positive impact on the whole society.

Independent research and development of chips is definitely a good cause for the benefit of the country and the people, and Lin Han also has this plan in his heart.

"Lao Lou, if we start to develop mobile processors now, we will try our best to be independent and achieve mass production...... How far do you think we can go with our accumulation?"

There are many types of chips, and the hottest one now is undoubtedly in the field of mobile processors, that is, mobile phone processors.

Relatively speaking, the development space of mobile processors and the possibility of surpassing foreign countries are also larger.

Lou Bingcheng thought for a while and said: "The most advanced products, there will definitely be no hope for a while." But I think that the research and development of some mid-range processors should still have a lot of operability. ”

"The most important processing instrument in the chip production process is the lithography machine, and the lithography machine is also the link with the biggest gap between China and foreign countries. ”

"In addition to lithography machines, the gap between domestic and foreign chip processing equipment is not too big. Like etching machines, the gap with foreign countries is very small, and we can buy from domestic enterprises. He said slowly.

"Now we have three high-end lithography machines, which can improve and develop our own lithography machines while exploring the chip process, and finally realize the leap forward of microelectronics technology and complete the high degree of autonomy of domestic chips. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Lou Bingcheng continued: "However, with the accumulation of the laboratory, it may not be easy to achieve this goal. I think we should look for some enterprises to cooperate, with these three lithography machines, I believe that no domestic company will refuse us. ”

This is true, although the development of Vientiane Laboratory is fast, but after all, the foundation is still thin, and there is still a big gap between those world-class technology giants who have worked hard for decades, and it is definitely not easy to completely independently develop chip technology.

After all, this "autonomy" is much more than the "autonomy" of enterprises such as Huawei and rice.

Many key technologies of Huawei and Rice's chips are still in the hands of foreign companies, and the production is also produced by TSMC, rather than completely independent.

What Vientiane wants to do is obviously not this "semi-autonomous" chip process, but like Intel and Samsung, it must master almost all key technologies, whether it is the design and manufacture of chips or the design and manufacture of lithography machines.

"Lao Lou, what do you think of us buying SMIC?" After talking for a few words, Lin Han suddenly said.

SMIC is the largest and most technologically advanced integrated circuit chip company in China and one of the largest integrated circuit chip foundries in the world.

Of course, due to the high threshold of chip technology, the production process of high-end chips has always been controlled by several giants, so although SMIC is also "one of the world's largest chip companies", it is still very different from the most important "one".

Lou Bingcheng thought for a while and said: "SMIC's current market value is close to 60 billion yuan, and if you want to acquire it, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”

"These three lithography machines are the only one in China, which is a big weight in our hands, and we don't need to buy 100% of the shares, just buy 51%, or become the largest shareholder of SMIC. Lin Han said.

"Vientiane's advantages are talents, machines, policy support, and abundant funds, while SMIC has some technology and experience, and if Vientiane can control SMIC, the advantage will inevitably be greater...... At least one thing is certain, Vientiane will control SMIC, and SMIC's stock will definitely skyrocket in the short term. ”

Lou Bingcheng was still a little hesitant: "Mr. Lin, I just think that the acquisition cost of tens of billions of dollars is not a big ...... for the company's funds."

I have to say that Vientiane's layout has become more and more vigorous recently, and the steps are huge, and it is easy to make large-scale acquisitions and investments, and the momentum is so fierce that many people are a little frightened.

But it is also strange to say that Vientiane's capital reserves seem to have some bottomless meaning, although the money is extremely expensive, the plate is still stable.

What's even more surprising is that the loans of several major domestic banks to Vientiane are very lenient, not to mention the low threshold, and the interest rate is not high.

This makes many people feel that Vientiane is a bit unfathomable. Including Lou Bingcheng, he often has a feeling of incomprehension about the company he works for.

So he inevitably had some doubts about such an acquisition plan.

Lin Han smiled: "You don't have to worry about the money, besides, the return brought by the "Yellow River Project" is definitely expensive, and the problem of funds is fine. ”

After the completion of the Yellow River project, the finance department alone will pay him at least hundreds of billions of yuan.

Moreover, with the far-reaching influence of the Yellow River Project, the stock market will definitely not be calm, and I don't know how many companies will be gained, and these gains can all be indirectly affected by him.

Lin Han estimated in his heart that the benefits of controlling a Yellow River would definitely be more than the Sendai earthquake and the Kumamoto earthquake combined.

The two earthquakes in Japan are only about 200 billion.
