Chapter Ninety-Nine: Not Just To Be the Best "Please" in China

[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site.]

", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] The mid-nineties was a very special period.

On the one hand, due to the deepening of reform and development, ideas and science and technology at home and abroad have begun to collide to a deeper degree, and the Chinese people have developed various complex feelings about the coming new millennium, which has made the people's hearts in this period seem particularly confused, which can be seen from the performance in the pop music scene.

On the other hand, because of the change in business model, many large foreign enterprises and commercial institutions have entered the mainland, slowly changing the way of life of Chinese, which can also be regarded as a form of peaceful evolution.

Fan Wuxian believes that no matter how the Chinese are evolved, there is no more convenient way to get the most accessible things in daily life.

For example, KFC, such as some daily necessities under the banner of foreign famous brands, or those daily electrical appliances that began to enter China on a large scale, the proliferation of these things has not only changed the way of life of Chinese, but also changed some of their inherent concepts, that is, foreigners are also people, since foreigners can live so nourishingly, then do we ourselves also need to improve?

Where do you need to improve? How can it be improved? Will the improvements be able to achieve the desired goals?

These problems accumulate in aggregate and are destined to have a rapid eruption process, so that China's economy will also have a period of retaliatory rapid growth within three to five years.

\\And for the chip manufacturing industry. This period is the most easy period for everyone to talk about, and the vast growth is almost infinite in the large market, which is an irresistible temptation for any enterprise in the industry.

As a rapidly developing real estate industry in the world, the chip industry is called a modern money printing machine by foreign economists.

China is also planning to build its own chip industry in the early nineties. And has launched a number of national projects, but due to the limited national strength.

The strength of the enterprise is even more insufficient, so the domestic chip industry has been making slow progress. Almost all of the existing chip manufacturing enterprises in China are foundries, with low level of process technology, weak independent innovation capabilities, and lack of independent products and brands.

Due to export restrictions in Western countries. China's situation of being controlled by others in chip technology is very serious.

Almost all of the core processing chips used in domestic digital equipment are imported. For example, there are three core chips commonly used in digital TV.

Receiving and demodulation chips, decoding chips, and digital video processing chips. All dependent on imports. The chip industry includes chip design, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing.

\\/\ And according to the general law, if the chip itself has a one-yuan land value. It can drive the growth of the relevant electronic information industry by ten yuan.

With such a large market, the domestic government cannot see it. However, due to various shortcomings for a long time, it is no longer able to compete with international chip manufacturing companies.

Even if the whole country is mobilized, it may not be able to break through the results of decades of research accumulated in developed countries.

What is even more worrying is that foreigners never sell popular things to Chinese, unless they are finished products.

If you want to develop chip manufacturing technology, you can only rely on your own people. What Fan Wuxian thought of was that Taiwan's chip manufacturing industry is also very developed, such as TSMC, the boss of the chip manufacturing industry on the island, in the late nineties, the industrial scale surpassed international giants such as INTEL, and the strength was quite strong, so he believes that even if it is not able to catch up with the entire industry, it is still promising to seize one or two of the directions, especially in the core chip manufacturing industry of mobile phones, as well as peripheral chip manufacturing such as computer memory or graphics cards. I have the strength to make some achievements.

IN THIS WAY, THE DOMESTIC CHIP MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY WILL NOT BE A BLANK AT LEAST, AND WHEN IT COMES TO THIS INDUSTRY, WHAT CAN BE DONE IS ONLY THE INTRODUCTION OF A CERTAIN FOREIGN PRODUCTION LINE, YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE PRODUCTION LINES THAT WERE INTRODUCED AT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS LATER ARE JUST TECHNOLOGIES ELIMINATED BY INTEL AND OTHER COMPANIES, AND THERE IS REALLY NOTHING COMMENDABLE.

\\Fan Wuxian knows that if you don't grasp the core technology, you will always have to follow behind other people's butts.

The threshold of the chip manufacturing industry is relatively high, even in 1993, the cost of building a factory is more than 300 million US dollars, not to mention how many people dare to throw a lot of money into it when the market prospect is uncertain?

The biggest problem affecting the chip manufacturing industry is not the update of technology, but the grasp of the market trend, after all, the vast majority of people cannot be like Fan Wuxi, clearly know the detailed economic trend in the next two decades, as well as the development trend of the chip manufacturing industry.

In the case of uncertain market direction, people dare not invest all their money in one research direction, so if you make a mistake in judgment, it will lead to a catastrophe, so even INTEL, the industry leader, often feels distressed by this.

\\/\ Because you never know what will be popular in the next moment? FOR EXAMPLE, INTEL'S BUSINESS MODEL FOR DOMINATING THE CHIP INDUSTRY IS TO PRODUCE MORE POWERFUL AND COMPLEX CHIPS, INVEST HEAVILY IN RESEARCH, AND LEAVE COMPETITORS FAR BEHIND, WHICH IS WHAT THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE.

But in the mid-90s, this model was challenged, the PC was so powerful that many users could only use a fraction of the power of the high-end Pentium processor, and companies such as AMD took advantage of this situation to produce low-end and low-cost chips to compete with INTEL to seize the market, making INTEL's situation very bad.

If Intel doesn't change, it will be another fallen giant, creating beautiful technology that most people don't need, losing customers and finally having to declare bankruptcy.

BUT INTEL CEO GROVE DECIDED TO TAKE AN UNEXPECTED APPROACH, CONTINUING TO DEVELOP MORE POWERFUL AND FASTER CHIPS, WHILE ALSO PRODUCING ITS OWN LOW-MARGIN, CHEAP CHIPS.

As a result, this strategy was successful, and Intel's Celeron processors became one of the most successful microprocessors in history.

FOR INTEL, SURVIVAL IS THE RESULT OF SELF-DESTRUCTIVE INNOVATION, BUT MANY OTHER COMPANIES MAY NOT BE AFRAID TO ACCEPT THE PAIN, SO THEY ALL END UP COLLAPSING ONE BY ONE.

After most of the preparations for the construction of the new factory were determined, Fan Wuzhi and the other three were ready to start site selection.

After all, the chip industry should be regarded as a representative of the high-tech industry, and it is an environmentally friendly industry, which needs a beautiful environment and will not cause serious damage to the environment, so it is very suitable to occupy these places.

On the other hand, Fan Wuzhi believes that if he builds factories in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the rise in land prices in the future will also bring him a considerable income, and the appreciation of land will far exceed the current investment.

After the memory of the three people stopped, Fan Wuxian directly informed Boss Zhu of their plan to build the largest chip manufacturing industrial base in China.

Boss Zhu was very excited after hearing this, he knew very well what the domestic chip manufacturing industry was, and he also knew very well how much real money the international chip giants had to take away from China every year, so he was very happy that Fan Wuxian was able to raise a huge amount of money to invest in this high-tech industry.

"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, right?" Boss Zhu asked with concern.

"This industry, no matter how much it costs, I want to build it!" Fan Wuxian said righteously,

"We can't be stuck by foreigners forever, especially in this high-tech industry, one day is stuck by someone's neck, which is equivalent to being controlled by others for a lifetime! I will work hard to break this international monopoly and bring reasonable and easy-to-use products to the Chinese! Instead of the junk-like third-rate goods that are now forced to pay a high price! ”

"Where are you going to build the factory?" Boss Zhu asked. Although Fan Wuxian said impassionedly, but Boss Zhu is not so easy to be affected, after listening to him for a while, Boss Zhu began to ask him some specific details, such as the amount of funds invested and site selection, etc., and even include the question of how many employment opportunities can be provided.

"The initial investment will be 300 million US dollars, and it will probably increase to more than 1 billion US dollars in five years, after all, this industry is very expensive." Fan Wuxi didn't study this too carefully, all in all, he knew one thing very clearly, that is, as long as he could do it in China, then it was not a problem how much to invest, and the huge domestic market could provide a lot of business opportunities.

As for the question of site selection, he said a little hesitantly,

"We want to build a factory in Suzhou or Hangzhou, but we haven't made any specific contacts, and we don't know if the local government will welcome us. However, after the completion of the first phase of the factory, it will be able to provide jobs for four or five thousand people, and after three years, it is estimated that 20,000 people are too little! ”

"You're a little slippery!" When Boss Zhu heard Fan Wuxian say this, he didn't know the reason why he found him, so he said with a wry smile,

"Okay, your project is also a big project of tripartite cooperation between China, the United States and Taiwan, and the central government can't help but express its support, you can talk about the work of local governments first, and we will also exert some influence on them at the appropriate time, so as to carry out this work that benefits the country and the people, what do you think?"

"That's for the best!" Fan Wuxi happily grinned his mouth to his cheeks, and hurriedly expressed his ambition and said,

"Our goal is not only to be the best in China!"

"Okay, three years later, at least 20,000 job opportunities, I'll write them down in my little book first, and then see how well you implement them?" Boss Zhu smiled slightly.
