Chapter 158: Samsung Electronics [Request]
There is no impermeable wall in this world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now all the big companies in the world involved in the chip industry know the news.
They spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars a year on information departments that approve the accuracy of this message the first time.
And when the world's well-known chip companies took action, Toshiba also quickly received the latest movements of competitors.
After all, any large company in a direct competitor company will inevitably have some small tricks in the market, such as its own people planted in a key department.
Immediately afterwards, the person in charge of the Hong Kong branch, Kitamura Fu, did not do well, which caused Shao Mingquan to go very dangerously, and the situation of selling the news all over the sky was clearly investigated by the Tokyo side......
Shao Mingquan, who dreamed of making a fortune selling goods, hummed a song early the next morning and entered the Prince Building with happy steps.
I met familiar colleagues along the way, and greeted him with a smile, but before I was happy for a while, I saw Kitamura Fu coming up from the corner with red eyes and gasping violently.
There was a ghost in his heart, his expression changed, but he still went up to say hello, "Huh? Mr. Kitamura, why are you here? ”
But before his words fell, only the casserole-sized fist was left in his entire eyehole, and he swung it suddenly,
"You untrustworthy bastard! I've lost my job, I'm going to kill you. "Kitamura Fu, who had just been dismissed by Toshiba in the name of being unfavorable, was now like a mad ~ dog and pounced viciously, and directly punched Shao Mingquan so that he was powerless.
Shao Mingquan, who was blinded by this wave of Wang Ba's punches, was a little cowardly at first, after all, this matter could not be refuted on the surface.
But Kitamura Fu not only beat him, but also exposed those originally secret things in front of everyone one by one, this time!
Annoyed and angry, he didn't care about dodging, and directly counterattacked, which surprised the colleagues who were waiting for the elevator around him.
But after hearing what Shao Mingquan did, everyone had no intention of helping at all.
"It's a dog-eat-dog place, and it ruins the reputation of our firm." The executive of a firm blushed, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to go up and slap Shao Mingquan a few times, and then tear Kitamurafu's broken mouth.
Well, now Wende Law Firm is famous, it's so red that it turns purple!
It is estimated that in a few hours, the entire Hong Kong legal circle will spread their glorious deeds, and what awaits them will be a piece of paper with a claim of the client's sky-high price.
And all this is just because of an inconspicuous assistant brother in the firm!
Thinking of this, the angry executive roared again and again, "Security guard, catch him for me, I will call the police, send this bastard to the police station for me, and this North Village!" Arrest them all. ”
When the security guards around who were still entangled heard this, they immediately came up, pulled the two apart, and directly called the police.
What awaits Shao Mingquan and Kitamura Fu is not just a simple crime like fighting, the two of them are destined to go to taste the free coffee of the Hong Kong Economic Survey Bureau together, and I heard that it tastes good.
——————
Lee Jae-yong, who is the chief customer officer of Samsung Electronics in South Korea, has recently been proud of the spring breeze, because the chip research institute of Samsung Electronics has developed the world's first 30nm 64GB multi-level unit NAND flash memory chip.
The advent of this chip marks the complete confirmation of Samsung Electronics' leading position in the chip industry.
At the same time, the company expects to start mass production of this 30nm64GB large-capacity flash memory chip in 2009, and according to market research, the annual market share of this chip and higher-level devices is conservatively estimated to be more than $2 billion.
But before he could be happy for a few days, an urgent report from the Ministry of Information of Samsung Electronics drove away all his good mood.
If the so-called 3D-NAND technology shown on the document really exists, then Samsung's self-produced 64GB-NAND products, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, will immediately fall behind, and the market may not even have one percent of the original expectations.
You must know that just yesterday, Samsung Electronics passed a special fund worth $110 million for late-stage R&D improvement and market development.
But when they turned around and fell asleep, they sadly found that they had the illusion that they had been maliciously abandoned by the whole world!
Who would have thought that Samsung, which is among the top three in the world in chip technology reserves, would complete the embarrassing situation of falling behind before it was listed in just one night.
In short, the entire Samsung Electronics feels like it has entered a cold winter ahead of schedule.
And Lee Jae-yong, who is the chief customer officer of Samsung Electronics, was the first to bear the brunt of the insanity hit by this news, "How is this possible? Is it an April Fool's joke? ”
"Chief Customer Officer, I think it's all true." Kim Sung-chol, director of the planning and marketing department of Samsung Electronics, said bitterly,
"According to the verification of our European Affairs Department to PCT related people, this patent is already in the preliminary examination stage, according to the description of the documents provided by the other party, this company seems to have found a technology that can be stacked and overlapped on one side of the unity, if these are true, then all our chip products will be completely backward in an instant."
"This is absolutely unacceptable!" Lee Jae-yong's business vision is by no means bad, otherwise he would not have been able to become the president of the entire Samsung Electronics three years later, and he immediately saw the importance of this technology to the entire Samsung.
The thought that such a technology did not belong to him made him feel a headache.
But after just a few seconds, he straightened his position and pressed the internal phone on his desk at the same time, "Help me ask Director Cui Zhongyan of Samsung's R&D Center to come over, I have urgent matters to ask for his opinion." ”
After hanging up the call, Lee Jae-yong looked at the document in his hand and said distressedly, "If we want to acquire this technology, do you think it is possible?" ”
Kim Sung-chul first subconsciously shook his head, and then seemed to think of something, and quickly nodded and said, "If this technology is in the hands of our competitors, it is impossible to sell it to Samsung Electronics, but according to our investigation, the company that has mastered this patented technology is an emerging company in China, and we may be able to successfully acquire this patent." ”
It's not that Kim Sung-chul boasts, but things are often like this, big fish eat small fish, and when they see enough benefits, Samsung always expects to eat all the benefits in one bite!
The other party is just a small company, even if they master this technology, there is not enough market to accommodate them, because whether it is Samsung, or Toshiba/SanDisk, or Micron, it is impossible to easily admit defeat, this is a huge market involving tens of billions of dollars, and no one will be willing to give up.
"That's right, last year's net sales in China reached $31 billion, and we have established a well-established network of contacts, such a patent worth tens of billions of dollars, we have to get our hands on it no matter what!" Lee Jae-yong nodded, perhaps Samsung's investment in China gave him enough confidence.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, "Immediately arrange for our people to contact this company and find out if they have the possibility of selling this patent, and arrange for the legal department to find out if there is any possible connection between this patent and our own patent, in short, this patent must not be missed by Samsung!" If necessary, immediately resort to law, even if it is a drag, drag this company to death. ”
"Yes!" Kim Sung-chul immediately bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
"It can't be!"
Cui Zhongyan, who was hurriedly called to the office of the chief customer officer, was also shocked, knowing that they are no strangers to 3D-NAND technology.
After all, as Samsung Electronics' biggest competitor in Asia, Toshiba/SanDisk has already launched a similar concept product.
However, through their research, the epoch-making products claimed by the other party are not as advanced as they claim, and their efficiency on a single side is only four times that of traditional 2D technology, and it is extremely unstable and relatively expensive.
They had expected that the technology would not be likely to make much of a breakthrough in the next five years, which means that they had great confidence in the 64GB multi-level cell flash memory chip they were working on.
But now, a small and little-known company in Pengcheng, China, actually claims that they have the completed 3D-NAND technology and can achieve a 32-fold anti-sky accumulation effect on traditional chips, how is this possible?
"It's definitely a ridiculous and clumsy little trick on our neighbors, who have always loved to brag." Cui Zhongyan, who calmed down, didn't care about anything else, and retorted directly and loudly.
He really didn't believe that a small company in China could have such technical research capabilities.
"I also want to think it's a botched farce!" Lee Jae-yong covered his forehead and said sadly, "But according to the reliable information we have received within the PCT, they have obtained the three-dimensional abrasives and supporting technical certification documents provided by this company, and a senior member of the audit committee told us privately that the probability of passing this technology is almost 100 percent." ”
"This?" Cui Zhongyan was speechless by this sentence all of a sudden, and his face turned red several times and wanted to refute, but under the stern gaze of Lee Jae-yong, he had to succumb to reality.
"Well, I didn't call you here to blame you, after all, the direction of R&D is decided by the whole company." Lee Jae-yong knew what he was worried about, so he made it clear at the beginning, lest the other party continue to prevaricate, "Now, I need you to come up with an evaluation of this technology as soon as possible to help the company successfully acquire this technology." ”
"Yes!" Cui Zhongyan could only nod bitterly in agreement.
But until he went out, he couldn't believe the news, if it was true, wouldn't it prove that Samsung's R&D department, which invests billions of dollars every year, is a bunch of rice buckets? Not even as good as a small company in China?
