Chapter 880 - Pentium Floating Point Operation BUG
The mess of taking over Huajing Company actually has a certain negative impact on the short- and medium-term financial statements of Xinchuangxin.
However, helping the Ministry of Electronics Industry solve the mess can also be regarded as an investment in Minister Hu's favors. As the minister of real power of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, the political resources are still very considerable.
Although there is no need to find a so-called backer for the new entrepreneurship department, it is also a good investment to maintain a good relationship with political bigwigs and sell some favors.
What's more, Huajing now seems to be a mess, but the rotten ship has three catties of nails, a company as big as Huajing, the existing plant land resources in Wuxi, more than ten years later, industrial land into commercial and residential land, rational development and utilization, is definitely not less than 10 billion more than 10 billion value.
There are also some high-tech sheep's heads, but they are sold by real estate development dog meat companies, which are actually mixed in later generations. In the name of high-tech companies, land can be obtained cheaply. After a few years of land hoarding, high-tech projects are yellow, and the land is repurposed and turned into real estate development projects, which is already a commonplace routine in later generations.
In these years, a lot of messes have really to survive for more than ten years, but in fact, the value of land appreciation can be earned back with losses and profits.
Of course, more than 10 years later, the development of the factory land into a real estate project to return to the cost is only the most unfavorable situation, the plan taken.
In essence, if the chip factory is doing well, its profit margin is definitely higher than that of the real estate company.
In essence, chip factories are manufacturing industries with extremely high thresholds, and ordinary capital, even if they are red-eyed, wants to enter the chip manufacturing industry. However, patent barriers, process barriers, talent barriers, etc., will keep most opponents out.
The chip manufacturing industry basically wants to quit, and it is just a thought.
But if you want to re-enter the market, you need more than just having the capital in place. The threshold for re-entry is also the highest in the world.
It is easy to retreat and difficult to advance, which leads to the law of the chip industry, and there are constantly weak people withdrawing. The production capacity will continue to be concentrated in the most leading powerhouse, so it will develop over time. The chip industry is the easiest to form a monopoly pattern, and natural monopoly is a windfall profit that any capital dreams of.
Just like the X86 chip in the later generations, there are only two companies left to be manufactured by Intel and AMD, and there are only three companies left in the global DRAM memory chip: Samsung, Micron, and Hynix. Flash memory particles are only capable of being produced by Intel, Samsung, Micron and Toshiba. High-end lithography machines are only available to AMSL, the only supplier in the future.
It is conceivable that these monopolists can make as high profits as they want with their gross profit margins.
Take the profits of Intel and Samsung's later chip business as far as the profits of the real estate industry are concerned, and the profit scale can be compared with Samsung and Intel?
"Xiaohu, when you go to Huajing Company for reorganization, you must remember to have a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other. For the employees and management of Huajing Company, carrots are wages, and it is impossible to give Huajing Company the same salary as Xinchuangxin at the beginning. Rather, it is gradually tempted to take carrots, so that Huajing employees, who are unwilling to take hundreds of yuan and thousands of yuan in wages, strive to cooperate with the transformation of the management and production system. Employees who get a salary of 300 yuan, at the beginning, they can raise 100 yuan when they meet, even if they are okay. If you want to increase the price by thousands of dollars or tens of thousands of dollars in the future, you have to see if they have that condition. Only by getting better and better year by year can we continue to bring anti-endeavor momentum. Lin Qi said with a smile, "If you don't obey the management and have a negative effect on the whole team, you are welcome, return it to the Ministry of Electronics Industry and the local government of Wuxi, and let it find a way to solve the resettlement." ”
"Boss, this little thing doesn't bother me. Hu Weiwu said with a smile, "In essence, the vast majority of the employees of an enterprise must be good." In particular, a company like Huajing is not the kind of old state-owned enterprise that floats people. ”
In most cases, domestic workers are more submissive to management than workers in most countries, and the reason for this is that workers are inefficient and lack motivation. The biggest problem is nothing more than low wages and no future.
Given enough treatment, even if it is a group of old fritters who grind foreign workers, they will be transformed into a group full of energy and sharpness.
The boss thinks his subordinates are stupid and sorry for the salary. The real situation is mutual, the boss gives less, then, the hired employees will only exert less intelligence and effort.
There is a truth all over the world, give little money, don't blame the phenomenon of social animals and foreign workers.
……
When Lin Qi negotiated Huajing's solution plan with the Ministry of Electronics Industry, there was also a great news in the world.
The so-called misfortune of competitors is the biggest good news for peers.
30 October 1994.
Dr. Thomas R. Nicely of Ynchburg College (Virginia) kept getting the answer wrong when he did the math on a PC using an Intel Pentium processor and divided a number by 824,633,702,441.
If you are an ordinary user, you will ignore this bug. However, as a scientist, this bug is not a trivial matter, so after discovering this bug, he is more serious.
This bug, after it was announced, after a simple test by Intel, it was indeed true, but it was not replied to in the first place.
And Dr. Thomas R. Nicely chose to publish the floating-point operation bug of the Pentium processor on the Internet because of his impatience with waiting!
Initially, Intel Corporation intended to be cold and not respond to related questions.
However, after the news was posted on the internet, it quickly sparked the outrage of countless consumers. Intel's customer service phone was filled with calls from angry customers. The email box is also stuffed with a bunch of complaints and grievances.
On the Internet, there are countless criticisms.
"Intel doesn't care about customers at all, such a big BGU actually tried to solve it perfunctorily!"
"Oh my God, I've always trusted Intel's technology more, even though its chips, the efficiency of the architecture is not very high, but, because I'm used to the instruction set of Intel's chips, I've always used its products. As a result, there is such a big bug!"
"Let's say that our General Motors and Boeing planes use chips that Intel has bugs. Oh my God, taking a part-time job is a matter of life!"
All of a sudden, Intel was besieged by countless consumers and the media, and it was embarrassing. Intel CEO Andy Grove had to announce at a press conference on November 2: "Intel will recall the chips in question, and provide consumers with chips with better performance and no bugs to replace the previous design defect products......"
For this, Intel will have to pay at least a few hundred million dollars to clean up the mess.
If, at present, the computer market is dominated by X86 architecture PCs, then, it is estimated that the matter has come to an end. The competitors of the x86 architecture, AMD and Cyrix, both started with Intel's technology licenses, and it is unlikely that they will pose a fatal threat to Intel's position.
However, at present, it is the computer market, not only PCs, but also Pangu computers, which are comparable competitors.
After Intel's problems, Lin Qi was very low-key.
However, AMD CEO Jerry Sanders jumped out and said: "The 586 chip produced by AMD does not have a serious bug like Intel Pentium, and the cost performance is far greater than Intel's Pentium." In addition, we also provide the CPU of the Pangu computer platform, compared with the X86 architecture, the instruction set of the XRM architecture is more streamlined and efficient, and the resources for game entertainment are far more abundant than the PC......
