Chapter 354: Fusang people come to disrupt the situation
"I remember, in 05, AMD said that it would increase its market share to 50% and compete with Intel, but it was only ten years, and AMD, which had had a lot of glory, went bankrupt, which is really ......" Guo Wei shook his head and sighed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"High-tech companies, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and AMD is a lesson for us. No matter how much glory there has been, once you can't keep up with the pace of the times, you are destined to be eliminated! Lu Yang sighed with emotion, when Tianxin Group just entered the field of computer CPU, AMD's global market share was close to 20%, which was a strong rival for Tianxin chips, but in the blink of an eye, it fell in the aftermath of the competition between Tianxin chips and Intel, which was too miserable.
If it was before, Lu Yang would probably have the idea of acquiring AMD, this kind of old company, technical heritage and team, as well as patents, are all very important assets for emerging companies. However, with the example of Huaxia enterprises there, Lu Yang dispelled this idea. He doesn't think that the Mi Congress will be open to the Tianxin Group.
"Lao Guo, you try to get in touch with AMD's technical team, and for excellent researchers, we will raise the salary and poach them. I don't like AMD's brand at all, I value their people more. Although the current R&D team of Tianxin chip is quite large-scale, in my opinion, it is still not enough. Lu Yang suggested.
Guo Wei smiled: "Boss, in fact, we are already poaching people, AMD's technical director Nadal has agreed to accept our employment, and he will bring his own team over." Intel is also poaching people, but the terms they offer are not as good as ours, because there are more people who accept our hires. ”
"Well done! By the way, I plan to establish the world's most advanced chip research center on Penglai Island, and it will take up to three years, so you can prepare in advance. ”
Regarding AMD's bankruptcy, Lu Yang did not take it to heart. Originally, AMD was surviving under the suppression of Intel and relying on the Chinese market to be able to support it. In addition, AMD's product positioning and product performance are no longer suitable for this increasingly fast-growing market, and bankruptcy is inevitable.
After AMD is out, the CPU has officially entered the era of Tianxin chips and Intel hegemony, Guo Wei predicts that the market share of Tianxin chips is expected to be 35% next year, and within five years, it is expected to form a confrontation with Intel. Coupled with the advantages of the mobile Tianxin chip, the overall market share of the Tianxin chip will exceed 60%, thus becoming the real chip overlord.
After the Tianxin chip laboratory, Lu Yang inspected the battery laboratory. With large-capacity lithium batteries, Tianxin Super Energy Company has always been the hegemon of the global battery market, and now, smart phones, tablets, laptops and other devices, there are no products with Tianxin Super Energy batteries in the world, almost nothing.
Large-capacity lithium batteries have been launched since 08 years, and the lithium batteries on sale now have reached the seventh generation, which is 8 times that of ordinary lithium batteries. The application of large-capacity lithium batteries has brought about the diversification of smartphone functions, and sufficient power enables users to do more things through smartphones. Nowadays, even the worst mobile phone, even if it is watching videos and playing games, can support more than 48 hours. And the record-setting "Starry Sky 5" has 240 hours of talk time.
It can be said that the emergence of large-capacity lithium batteries has solved the problem of battery life of smartphones, thus greatly promoting the promotion of smartphones.
According to Huo Sheng's plan, in 2017 will be the final large-capacity lithium battery, that is, 10 times the capacity of the lithium battery, which is also the limit of this technology. After that, Tianxin Super Energy needs to come up with new technology to occupy the market.
"In the research of a new generation of lithium batteries, we are not progressing smoothly." Facing Lu Yang, Huo Sheng said with some emptiness, "Since last year, we have adjusted the direction of research and development, one direction is to study graphene capacitive batteries, and the other direction is to study new metal batteries. Now both studies, we are stuck in a bottleneck. ”
Lu Yang looked at the data submitted to him by Huo Sheng, and there was no expression on his face.
Yu Hao said: "Mr. Huo, isn't the performance of your latest car battery improved a lot, how can there be no progress?" ”
Huo Sheng said with a wry smile: "Mr. Yu, although the storage capacity of the battery pack released last time has increased by 30%, this is achieved through our unique energy structure, rather than the change of the product itself. According to this line of thinking, we are now reaching the limit. ”
Yu Hao nodded incomprehensibly, after all, he is not engaged in technology, and he is not clear about the technical research within the group.
"How long do you think it will take to make a breakthrough in these two areas?" Lu Yang asked.
Huo Sheng shook his head: "The current research has involved the core part of the technology, and it may break through next week, or it may not make progress until next year." Moreover, we don't have so much time left. ”
"Oh?"
Huo Sheng said: "In recent years, our batteries have been unique in the world, occupying 95% of the lithium battery market, from smartphones, tablets to electric vehicles, most of the products are using our batteries. We have no competitors in this field. Now it's different, I received news that a battery laboratory owned by Toyota seems to have made a breakthrough, and the lithium battery they have developed can be compared with our 5th generation large-capacity battery, the electric capacity can reach 6 times that of ordinary lithium battery. ”
"Fuso? Lao Huo, is your message accurate? Lu Yang couldn't help asking.
Huo Sheng nodded: "This is what a friend of mine told me, and it's not a secret, at most next week, Toyota will announce the news." ”
"If it's only comparable to our 5th generation battery, it's not to be afraid, but I don't know where their technical limits are......" Lu Yang said thoughtfully. The large-capacity lithium battery technology he purchased is a very advanced secondary technology, but it is not the pinnacle of secondary technology.
Moreover, Lu Yang did not dare to underestimate the civilization of the earth, although the overall civilization of the earth belongs to the second-level primary to intermediate stage, but in some fields, there are already signs of third-level civilization, the most typical is nuclear energy. If the battery technology of Fusang people can reach the second-level peak, Lu Yang is not unacceptable. Technological breakthroughs are inherently unpredictable.
"Lao Huo, it seems that there is not much time left for you." Lu Yang said, "In the competition with the Fusang people, we must not lose!" Toyota's new battery is likely to be used in their cars, and we must not give them this chance to turn over! ”
Lu Yang was also hesitating in his heart, whether to buy new battery technology. In the list of third-level technologies, Lu Yang values a special energy technology, energy crystallization technology. This is a top-of-the-line tertiary technique that costs up to 1 million credits. Arguably, this technology is a perfect alternative to battery technology, which is able to create pure energy crystals that are embedded in specific devices to provide a constant and stable source of energy.
According to Lu Yang's current development trend, at most by 2017, his credit limit will reach 1 million, and he will be able to purchase this technology at that time. During this period, as long as Tianxin Super can maintain a good market. At this time, the Fusang people came to stir up the situation again.
As one of the most important subsidiaries of Tianxin Group, Tianxin Chaoneng's annual revenue accounts for 25% of the group's revenue, exceeding 1 trillion yuan, and because of the monopoly, Tianxin Chaoneng's profit margin is higher than the group's average. For Lu Yang, it is an important financial guarantee for himself. (To be continued.) )
