Chapter 381: Be prepared for danger in times of peace

"Dear colleagues and shareholders, as the founders of New Venture Electronics Group. I am both proud and worried about the current foundation. We are proud that in just seven years, we have grown to an annual turnover of more than $40 billion, and only about 30 of the world's largest companies with public financial statements have exceeded revenue. Well, Hong Kong's GDP in 86 years is estimated to be more than 50 billion, which is about the same as our company's revenue last year. It is expected that in 87 years, we will continue to maintain a rapid growth rate, and there should be no suspense that a company's revenue will exceed Hong Kong's GDP!" Lin Qi said passionately.

Many shareholders and employees present applauded!

About US$8 billion of the revenue of the new venture electronics group is contributed to the GDP of Hong Kong, and the GDP directly contributed to the country is more than US$13 billion, and the indirect GDP is far more than that, so that the economic development speed of the southern coastal areas of China is even three to five years faster than in history.

Over the years, Xinchuang Electronics has directly earned no less than 30 billion US dollars in foreign exchange for China, which can be said to be the largest exporter. A large amount of foreign exchange reserves have also allowed domestic industries to introduce equipment and technology to increase productivity, more than 2 years faster than in history!

The rest of the GDP is given to many overseas countries, and it is precisely because of the new venture electronics group that a considerable amount of GDP, taxes, employment and profits are distributed to the local government. As a result, New Venture Electronics has gained many supporters from business and political circles all over the world. Even if there are local enterprises and political forces that want to exclude Xinchuang Electronics, they can provide a lot of benefits to local partners, which also makes Xinchuang Electronics resolve a lot of crises.

It is like the United States, which seems to be shouting about globalization, but in fact, it is secretly resorting to all kinds of tricks to exclude overseas competitors from entering its domestic market. This market is not a business that can be firmly established by respecting the nominal rules.

To solve the exclusion of the U.S. market, the only way to solve the problem is to use local interest groups against other interest groups. Among them, the most typical is AMD, through cooperation with the new venture electronics, AMD's revenue and profits have greatly improved. You know,Intel has stopped sharing new technologies with AMD since the 386 era,Although AMD has technology from 8086 to 80286,But the market share in the X86 camp has been declining,And only by taking price wars,Low profit or even zero profit shipments,In order to gain some market share。 In the 386 era, Intel no longer continues to share technology with AMD, resulting in AMD not being able to produce 386 chips as soon as it did in the past. Historically, AMD has been developing AMD386 chips compatible with Intel 386, but has been sued by Intel, resulting in a delay in listing for many years. Later, with the X86 license documents, AMD won the lawsuit. However, because it missed the best time to enter the market, it further widened the gap with Intel.

At present, AMD's industrial chain spans x86 chip and XRM architecture. Stepping on two boats, earning at both ends, can be described as a mixed wind and water.

Among them, the X86 architecture chip, because it lags behind Intel, can only be low-end, relying on the cost performance advantage to attract users. However, in the field of XRM chips, due to AMD's process advantages, the chips produced by AMD are also the high-end chips with the strongest performance in the XRM architecture, and the profits are also extremely lucrative. In order to protect its own interests, AMD gradually acted as an important spokesperson for the interests of Xinchuang Electronics in the United States, and took the initiative to help Xinchuang Electronics resolve many crises.

For example, when Pangu Computer gradually began to have the strength to compete with the PC, IBM and other companies naturally began to try to use legal and political means to drive Pangu Computer out of the American market. However, due to the lobbying of AMD and the U.S. branch of New Venture Electronics, the PC camp only managed to get the U.S. government, military, financial and other core institutions to ban the use of Pangu computers and XRM-based devices. But in the consumer sector, Pangu computers can still be sold on store shelves in the United States.

There was warm applause at the scene!

"Don't applaud or be proud. These achievements only show that we have done well in the past, but the future is still uncertain and full of dangers. Lin Qi said solemnly, "For example, in the legal and policy environment of different markets around the world, as well as various rules, we need to adopt more pragmatic means to solve them." It is impossible to solve the problems encountered in different regions and markets around the world by copying a single management formula and regulation. In addition, I still emphasize that we must maintain the traditional superior technology and continue to improve. Specific to the product, the CPU needs to have a higher frequency and performance, the memory also needs to have a larger capacity and frequency, and the capacity of the hard disk also needs to be continuously improved...... In addition to these existing technologies, they need to be continuously improved. We should be able to perform so that the mainstream configuration of the Pangu microcomputer is better than that of the most powerful mainframe computers of 20 years ago. For example, the supercomputer of '76 reached a 250 million floating-point budget. So, we want to sell Pangu computers to individual users in '96, and the floating-point arithmetic will reach 250 million times. Specific to the plan in recent years, our Pangu computer, in the next few years, whether it is to increase the single-core frequency or to use multi-core, in the coming of 90 years, the mainstream configuration should be increased to 50 million floating point operations, and the high-end configuration should be 100 million floating point operations! By 96 years, personal computers will be at least stronger than supercomputers in 76! This level of goal can make us not know how to lose to our opponents in the future performance competition! This goal is only a general direction, but you have to have a concept, the future is like this, if you don't advance, you will retreat! Any other kind of hardware, we can't just do production capacity, and not invest more money in research and development and improvement! Don't say I'm asking too much, in fact, in the next few decades, the minimum configuration requirements for games and programs may exceed our current state-of-the-art supercomputers! Where are these latest technologies? In American laboratories, on alien UFO fragments? No, these are only technological improvements that mankind can do in the future! If you don't work hard to do it, the merits and achievements of such innovation and improvement will be picked up by others, and the potential market of hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars may have nothing to do with all of us here. And once our technology lags behind, our comfortable wealth will also be consumed! You guys...... Are you willing?"

It seems that Lin Qi is very demanding for performance, but this is the semiconductor industry.

The world's most advanced supercomputer in 76 years may not be able to buy hundreds of millions of dollars. By '86 it was still a mainframe computer. However, by 96, this bulky and dilapidated could only compete with the performance of high-spec personal computers!

It is precisely because of the rapid improvement of hardware configuration that without this clear concept, I am afraid that it will fall behind in the competition in the future.

"No!"

"Never!"

"We should have created these achievements!"

For those who have become wealthy, the greatest fear is fading from the clouds. Having experienced the life of a billionaire and a multi-millionaire, it is natural that he does not want to reduce his wealth to the level of ordinary people in the future.

And Lin Qi's words are actually knocking on these veterans of the company, don't be too proud!

If you are backward, you will be beaten, and this truth does not exist only in modern history. Moreover, it is commonplace in the business world, especially in the high-tech industry! Many enterprises that used to be glorious in the past are gradually dying, and in the final analysis, they are still lagging behind the market only in terms of technology!

For example, companies such as Atari and Wang An Computer were once market figures. But throughout its history of decline, product technology has lagged behind the market for five or even ten years. By the time they try to improve, they have already lost their money and can't afford to make any changes!
