CHAPTER 137: INTEL'S NEW CHOICE "BEGGING FOR A MONTHLY PASS"
[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site.]
As a high-end PC processor manufacturer, INTEL is a big name in the practice world, and for Chinese mainland, which basically has no decent chip manufacturing industry in China, when companies like INTEL have the intention to invest and build factories, it is naturally very positive.
SHANGHAI TOOK INTEL'S IDEA OF BUILDING A PACKAGING FACTORY VERY SERIOUSLY, SO IT HIT IT OFF WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT EXACTLY THE PACKAGING FACTORY WAS DOING OR HOW MUCH BENEFIT IT COULD BRING TO SHANGHAI.
Anyway, the scale of this factory is not too small, at least a few thousand employees are needed to support, it can be regarded as solving part of the jobs, and the establishment of chip packaging factories in the mainland, itself is of great significance to the United States-led Western world to China's arms ban on China for a long time, in the early eighties, due to the attack on the former Soviet Union in order to ease Sino-US relations, so this ban was appropriately relaxed, but when the Soviet Union collapsed, the end of the Cold War, Chinese mainland's role in this strategic system immediately declined, It has become the biggest enemy of the United States and other Western countries, so five years ago, the Paris Coordinating Committee decided to cancel the further relaxation of export controls on China.
On the issue of technology export controls to China, the United States has taken strict precautions against China, and its fundamental concern is that China's national strength will leap more rapidly through technology imports, and it will increase its military strength to gain dominance in East Asia, especially challenging US interests on the Taiwan issue.
Therefore, INTEL's chip packaging factory in Chinese mainland can be said to be a hard-won achievement, at least in a political sense The role is far greater than the actual commercial interests, whether it is Shanghai or high-level, they are all very enthusiastic about this matter.
However, Fan Wuzhi always believes that it is advisable to appropriately sacrifice some interests to obtain greater benefits.
But for the sake of some unnecessary false fame, you need to put on a lot of additives, and in the end, you find that you have miscalculated, so things seem a bit brainless.
THEREFORE, INTEL BUILT A FACTORY IN SHANGHAI, AND HE FELT THAT HE NEEDED TO INTERVENE IN IT. AT LEAST LET THE DOMINANCE BE IN THEIR OWN HANDS, WHICH WILL ALSO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE CHIP FACTORY THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED.
INTEL HAS A NUMBER OF EXPERTS IN CHINA STUDIES. Therefore, they are very aware of the thinking of the Chinese, especially the ideas of the top, and INTEL's performance in operational strategy is indeed very different from other semiconductor companies.
From marketing strategies to public relations tendencies, it is completely beyond the semiconductor industry. Historically, INTEL's packaging factories have been from Shanghai to Chengdu and then to Dalian, and every investment in setting up factories in China has been for China.
ARE FOLLOWING THE BATON OF GOVERNMENT TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT, SO INTEL HAS ALSO BEEN RIDICULED BY THE Chinese AS THE COMPANY THAT MOST CLOSELY FOLLOWS GOVERNMENT POLICIES.
THE ENTRY OF INTEL HAS ALSO BECOME A POINT FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO ATTRACT FOREIGN INVESTORS AND ASK FOR CREDIT.
"AT LEAST WE NEED INTEL TO OPERATE ACCORDING TO OUR BATON, AND IT CAN ONLY BUILD FACTORIES IN SUZHOU OR HANGZHOU. And not in Shanghai. Fan Wuxian said to his men.
"Probably we don't have that kind of influence, right? And the government is not happy to see us meddling in this matter, after all, this is their political project. Immediately, some of his subordinates expressed different opinions on Fan Wuxi's opinion.
Fan Wuxian shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I'm certainly not stupid enough to blatantly sabotage this if they think there's something wrong with it. I don't want to do it anymore
"It's more likely, isn't it?" Everyone thinks that Fan Wuxian is a little too self-righteous. NO ONE BELIEVED THAT FAN WUXIAN COULD QUIETLY STIR UP THE MATTER, BUT TWO DAYS LATER, A PIECE OF NEWS BROKE OUT THAT HIT INTEL VERY HARD, CAUSING THEM TO LOSE A LOT.
It has been pointed out that there is a problem with the design of the floating-point division calculation part of the INTEL Pentium processor, and FDIVBu will make the floating-point arithmetic error, which will have a serious impact on scientific computing.
AS SOON AS THIS NEWS WAS RELEASED, IT CAUSED AN UPROAR IN THE MARKET, AND EVERYONE IMMEDIATELY EXPRESSED DISTRUST OF INTEL'S NEW PRODUCTS, AND AT THE SAME TIME, INTEL'S OLD RIVALS ALSO JUMPED OUT, SNEERING AND EXPRESSING GREAT CONCERN ABOUT THE PENTIUM PROCESSOR SYSTEM, AND LOST NO TIME IN SAYING THAT THEIR COMPANY'S PRODUCTS ARE WORTHY OF NO FLAWS.
INTEL IMMEDIATELY FELL INTO PASSIVITY, ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF FLOATING-POINT DIVISION ERROR, NOW IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED, THIS PROBLEM DOES EXIST, BUT WHAT IS PUZZLING IS THAT THIS TIME THE NEWS IS NOT FROM COMPETITORS, BUT FROM THE PEOPLE, THEY CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL USERS TO VERIFY SUCH A THING AS FLOATING-POINT CALCULATION ERROR, BUT IN ANY CASE, THEY SMELL THE SMELL OF CONSPIRACY.
\///\\ HERE IN SHANGHAI, UNDER THE CLAMOR OF FAN WUJI, THE LOCAL MEDIA BEGAN TO FOCUS ON INTEL, AND EVERYONE CAN SEE A LOT OF NEGATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT INTEL FROM THE MEDIA EVERY DAY, AND BRING OUT COMPETITORS SUCH AS AMD, AND FULLY PUBLICIZE IT.
AMD suddenly found such an opportunity, and immediately expressed its yearning for Chinese mainland very enthusiastically, and accepted interviews with several newspapers in Shanghai, revealing its intention to build a factory in the mainland.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHANGHAI WAS A LITTLE BLIND, THEY NEVER THOUGHT THAT THE CONTRACT WAS ABOUT TO BE SIGNED, AND INTEL PUT ON SUCH A BIG OOLONG, ISN'T THIS A SMEAR ON THEIR FACE?
Not to mention how INTEL copes with the current unfavorable situation, even if it reports the construction of the factory, I am afraid that the senior management will also think that the local government's vision is problematic, right?
As a result, the matter of building the factory was delayed indefinitely. It has to be very angry, as the so-called road knows that the horsepower has been popular for a long time, and the company has such a small problem, and the interested party of the cooperation has begun to clear up the relationship, can this business still be done?
Simply a horizontal heart, yellow is yellow, there is no master here, there is a place to stay. \\\ Fan Wuxian at this time once again expressed his hope for cooperation, and expressed concern about what is happening now, and believes that this is just a small flaw, which can not affect INTEL's global strategic layout, and Fan Investment Group is still willing to cooperate with INTEL on the construction of chip packaging factories.
INTEL HEADQUARTERS FINALLY SENT AN INVITATION LETTER TO THE HEADQUARTERS OF FAN'S INVESTMENT GROUP, INVITING THEIR EXECUTIVES TO VISIT INTEL HEADQUARTERS AND IMPORTANT PROCESSING PLANTS TO LEARN MORE.
"Mr. Fan, I didn't expect you to do this, this luck is too good, right?" EVERYONE WAS AMAZED AT FAN WUXI'S GOOD LUCK, WHO KNOWS IF THERE IS A FLAW IN INTEL'S PENTIUM PROCESSOR?
If it weren't for the impact of this incident, their cooperation with Shanghai would obviously be ironclad.
Fan Wuxian shook his head and said,
"YOU CAN'T JUST ATTRIBUTE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO GOOD LUCK, IN FACT, INTEL'S FLOATING POINT ARITHMETIC ERROR IS WHAT I DISCOVERED, OTHERWISE HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT THEY MUST NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE FROM MY PALM ARE STUPID, XIN DAO FAN IS REALLY A GENIUS, THIS KIND OF PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND."
"Mr. Fan, do you have any opinions about the Shanghai government? Why do you have to mess up this matter? One executive asked, curiously.
"Because it's not suitable here!" Fan Wuxian said,
"If you had to choose a paradise for the semiconductor industry in China, it would have to be Shanghai. If you choose a city with the highest enthusiasm for semiconductors, it must be Shanghai. If you choose a local leader who has the most feelings for semiconductors, it can only be Shanghai. From the perspective of semiconductor industrial layout, Shanghai has almost concentrated half of the country's semiconductor production capacity and nearly half of the design capacity, Shanghai almost plays the only pure land of bliss, and Shanghai almost carries the last hope of China's semiconductors. ”
"In that case—" someone said.
"In that case, why should I mess with this matter?" Fan Wuxian shook his head and said,
"Because we can't put all the good stuff in one place and create a false prosperity. Shanghai is a city located in the financial center, the nature of the industry determines the location, and the significance of the financial center means that all kinds of costs must be based on the capital operation industry at the highest end of the entire wealth pyramid. After all, with the continuous development of the economy, it is impossible to become the world's factory only by cheap labor, and if there is really the ambition to challenge Tokyo, London or even New York, it should not be discouraged by the loss of one or two manufacturing plants. There are opportunities that should be left to others. ”
"It sounds like it makes sense, too." Someone said.
"What Mr. Fan said has always been very reasonable." A man pouted. FOR INTEL'S INVITATION, FAN WUXIAN THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE, DECIDED TO GO TO THE UNITED STATES IN PERSON, IMPLEMENTED THIS MATTER, AND CALCULATED THAT IT HAD BEEN MORE THAN THREE YEARS SINCE HE CAME BACK FROM THE UNITED STATES.
This time, we still have to pay attention to a quick solution, otherwise it will be difficult to do it after others react, if the city government or Boss Zhu personally greets him, he is really embarrassed to say no to them.
SO FAN TOOK TWO EXECUTIVES AND MORE THAN A DOZEN STAFF MEMBERS TO REACH THE EASTERN AIRLINES PASSENGER PLANE AND FLY DIRECTLY TO INTEL'S HEADQUARTERS, SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA, USA.
AFTER GETTING OFF THE PLANE, FAN WUXIAN FOUND OUT THAT INTEL HAD ALSO SENT A VERY STRONG LINEUP TO TREAT HIS VISIT.
