Chapter 574: A Huge Trade Balance

In the office, Shen Qing's industry report can be said to be an eye-opener for Su Rui. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, Shen Qing continued: "In the finished product market of the semiconductor industry, the two largest areas are wireless and computing. ”

"In terms of wireless and computing sales, the former was driven by smartphones and storage, with sales up 9.6% year-on-year, while the latter, driven by lower PC and tablet sales, decreased by 8.3% year-on-year. ”

Judging from these data analysis, it is undoubtedly the wireless field, which accounts for the majority of the growth rate.

Su Rui can't understand this either, because it's a similar situation all over the world, and now smartphones are very common, but computers are not available to everyone.

For many people, mobile phones are essential, computers are dispensable, it is good to have it, but it is not unacceptable to have it.

Because of this, the sales of smartphones are getting bigger and bigger, but the sales of PCs are gradually declining, which also directly affects the entire semiconductor industry, and the overall revenue is increasing, but the revenue of the PC is declining, which is the current situation of the semiconductor industry.

Therefore, many related companies have collectively made efforts in the wireless field, just to get a piece of the pie and not be eliminated by the market.

For example, Intel Corporation occupies the vast majority of the market share in the PC field of Zhenguo, which is why it has been at the top of the list for more than 20 consecutive years.

However, because of the late entry into the wireless field, it is difficult to keep up with other giants in the wireless field, which is also the reason why Intel's performance growth has slowed down, and even declined, that is, it has not entered the wireless field at the best time, resulting in not so smooth development.

Therefore, if you want to get the maximum benefit from the semiconductor industry in the future, you still need to make efforts in the wireless field.

After talking about the global semiconductor industry, Shen Qing began to talk about the semiconductor industry of Zhenguo, saying: "Thirty years ago, Zhenguo Semiconductor was insignificant in the global semiconductor market, even in Zhenjie, it was not famous and belonged to the neglected market, and since the 1970s, the Zhenguo government has been supporting and promoting the development of the local semiconductor industry, and now Zhenguo's semiconductor market has accounted for 33.52% of the Zhenjie market, and it is also the world's largest chip consumer. ”

Next, Shen Qing continued: "However, although Zhenguo is the world's largest chip consumer, in the past, Zhenguo's chip industry was overly dependent on foreign technology, and this industry and market were almost monopolized by foreign giants, which also made Zhenguo restricted everywhere in many places and unable to develop.

But now the Zhenguo government has also noticed this problem, and has been improving, with the support of the Zhenguo government, in recent years, Zhenguo has developed very rapidly in electronic technology, but in the semiconductor industry, there is still a big gap with the United States. ”

Then, Shen Qing asked another question: "Do you know which of the commodities imported by Zhen Guo every year costs the most money, grain, crude oil, or machinery and equipment?"

If it were a normal time, Su Rui would think that the place where Zhenguo spends the most money should be grain and crude oil, or other resources.

After all, although there are a lot of resources in Zhenguo, because there are too many people, and it is a factory in Zhenjie, the demand for many resources is huge, and many resources are extremely scarce, and they need to rely on a large number of imports, not to mention food, so many people, if you want everyone to have a full stomach, you must import a large number of them, so that you don't have to cut down on food.

Therefore, if it was before, Su Rui's answer would be crude oil and grain, in his opinion, this should be the most imported goods, and the money spent will be the most.

It's just that at a time like this, Shen Qing will suddenly ask this question, it will definitely not be irrelevant, it is very likely to be related to this meeting, which makes him a little uncertain about the answer to the question.

So, Su Rui tried to answer: "Is it a chip?"

"That's right, you got it right. Shen Qing said with a smile: "It's a chip, a very small product, but the money spent on imports is far more than those commodities, this is the chip, it is said that last year, on the import of chips, Zhenguo spent a total of more than 400 billion US dollars, and even close to 500 billion US dollars, which has exceeded crude oil imports." ”

This answer is indeed incredible, who would have thought that a chip the size of a fingernail would need to spend more than $400 billion a year to import.

Shen Qing said another data: "According to the trade statistics of Zhenguo in 2014, it can be found that the trade deficit of Zhenguo's semiconductors and other electronic components has reached 332.8 billion US dollars, which has far exceeded the 228.6 billion US dollars of "oil and crude oil". ”

This data once again made Su Rui see the gap between Zhenguo and foreign countries in the semiconductor industry, which is indeed an insurmountable gap, but it also made him see that there is a lot to be done.

Of course, it is estimated that Zhenguo's actual chip trade balance should only be half of the original data, because the chips imported by Zhenguo's factory are equivalent to a part of the chips used in Apple mobile phones and Lenovo notebooks and other products, and these products are eventually exported overseas, and this part of the trade balance should be offset. ”

Such a huge trade balance, even if it is only half, is still a very frightening number.

What's more, Su Rui believes that this part of the trade balance should not be offset, if Zhenguo can independently produce advanced chips, then there is no need to import, but can directly produce chips, and then assemble them into mobile phones and notebooks to export to other countries, which can naturally offset the trade balance.

Therefore, he is more determined that Zhenguo should develop the chip industry, strive to become bigger and stronger, and can no longer blindly rely on foreign countries to import chips from other countries, which is a helpless move, but it cannot be passed and must be changed.

As long as Su Rui's chip plan is successful, it will not only change the pattern of Zhenguo in the chip industry, but also the entire semiconductor industry.

At that time, Zhenguo no longer needed imported chips from abroad, but could produce chips that really belonged to Zhenguo, not only did not need to be imported, but also exported in large quantities, transforming from the world's largest chip importer to the largest chip exporter, which was the goal he wanted to achieve.

This goal is very ambitious, but Su Rui, who has a life modifier, can achieve it, it depends on whether he has the determination to do it.

Determination, he has never lacked, as long as there is this opportunity, he will definitely do it.
