Chapter 261: The Business War of the Century

For the release of the superstar CPU, the Shencheng government and Tianxin Chip Shencheng R&D Center jointly held a press conference. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Originally, the press conference was co-hosted by Guo Wei and a deputy mayor of Shencheng, but when he heard that Lu Yang was coming, Shencheng immediately changed the arrangement and was received by the top leader.

After becoming the richest man in the world from the richest man in China, Lu Yang's status outside is obviously different, and it is normal for Shencheng to come forward to receive him. It has to be said that businessmen also have ranks. The most ordinary businessman may have some net worth, but he has no influence, and the real power department of a county government can kill him. This kind of person can be regarded as a department-level. The more senior businessmen have more dealings with the political circles, and they usually drink and sing with those bureau chiefs and directors, but if they really encounter something, these people may not be able to help. This level can barely be regarded as a division level.

If the grade is higher, the person who interacts with the top leaders of those real power departments can affect the economic development of counties and cities, and they are naturally the guests of the top leaders of counties and cities. This type of person is of a relatively high level and can be regarded as a department level.

From the department level to the ministerial level, this is a threshold. In Huaxia, what can be taken seriously by provincial and ministerial-level bigwigs, not to mention the influence of other aspects, just talking about assets, there must be at least tens of billions. In addition to assets, you also have to be influential, just like companies like Penguin, Qiandu, and Ali, which is on the next level. The top ones are, of course, large state-owned groups, such as banking groups and military-industrial groups, whose CEOs are originally ministerial-level leaders.

The ministerial level is not the highest level, and reaching this level can only say that the state attaches more importance to you, but you want to negotiate conditions with the state, and you don't have that capital yet. The real top businessmen are the ones who can influence the whole country, and this kind of people are usually called conglomerates. In countries such as Europe and the United States, consortia are common, including Japan and South Korea, and politics are controlled by conglomerates. But in Huaxia, the situation is completely different, because there is no real consortium in Huaxia, and it cannot be said that there is none, those families in Gangcheng control a lot of wealth, and they can also be regarded as a consortium, but these people want to influence the country's politics, which is delusional.

Lu Yang's current level has surpassed most of the businessmen in China, and it can even be said that he has become the leader of the Chinese business community, which even Li Chaoren in Hong Kong City admits. In terms of the wealth at hand, $100 billion is clearly not an accurate figure. Speaking of Tianxin Electronics alone, the sales of smart phones alone reached 31 million in the first quarter of this year, nearly double that of last year!

In addition to Tianxin Electronics, Tianxin Group also has several products that affect intelligent electronics all over the world. On the mobile side, the "Star Core" chip has successfully surpassed Qualcomm and MediaTek to become the world's first. As for the battery, not to mention, how many mobile phones in the world do not use the battery of Tianxin Super Energy? According to the report submitted by Huo Sheng, the battery sales of Tianxin Super Energy are expected to exceed 200 billion this year, and if the stimulation of electric vehicles is added, this data will be even higher!

Lu Yang's assets are difficult to estimate, but many research structures believe that they must be more than one trillion yuan. For this, the highest valuation of the outside world is 3 trillion yuan. Regardless of whether this data is accurate or not, at least it shows that the wealth in Lu Yang's hands has reached the threshold of the consortium.

As for influence, Lu Yang is even more lacking, in Huaxia, there are more than 1 million jobs related to his industry, and these are only related to Tianxin Group. If you add the Alibaba Group, of which he is the largest shareholder, this number is even larger. Lu Yang still has many admirers at home and abroad, and his Weibo fans alone have exceeded 27 million.

In terms of government, the influence of Luyang is not small, needless to say the government of southern Fujian, because of the development of Luyang and Tianxin Group, the economic growth rate of southern Fujian in recent years is much higher than the national average, and the financial revenue of the government of southern Fujian has also become very abundant. Now in southern Fujian, Lu Yang is the biggest baby, who dares to get along with him. At the top of the central government, Lu Yang also has supporters, and the one closest to him is the vice president. Lu Yang is engaged in a high-tech industry, his wealth comes from the right way, and he has also created a large amount of tax revenue for the country, and there is no possibility that the state will not support such an enterprise.

Considering all of this, Lu Yang can be said to have stood at the pinnacle of Chinese businessmen, even if it is not as good as the veteran business leader Li Chaoren, but it is not far behind.

Lu Yang doesn't care about the reception standards of the Shencheng government, he is not a person who talks about pomp and circumstance. However, Lu Yang is also very happy to be able to get so much support, after all, Shencheng's top leader has a very high status in the country.

At the press conference, Lu Yang announced that the opponent of Tianxin chip was Intel, which made all the reporters present crazy! Whether it is a Chinese reporter or a foreign reporter, they are desperately squeezing forward, hoping that Lu Yang can say a few more words.

Lu Yang fulfilled their request.

"The whole world knows that Intel is the hegemon in the CPU field, accounting for 80% of the global CPU market! No one in the past dared to say that they wanted to challenge Intel, not even their opponent AMD. But I dare! Lu Yang's eyes were shining, and he looked like a Chinese student who was saved by the Anti-Japanese War in the early 20th century.

"Lu Yang pointed out to challenge Intel, and Huaxia must also have its own CPU giant!"

"Huaxia's self-developed superstar CPU was born, and its performance surpassed Intel Core i5, and Lu Yang, chairman of the group, said that Tianxin chips will surpass Intel and become the new CPU overlord!"

"The war declaration of the richest man in the world!"

"Challenging Intel? Oh my God, this Chinese man is crazy! ā€

"Ignorance or fearlessness?"

"This Chinese man has become the richest man in the world, so he thinks he can do anything, and it is funny to challenge Intel!"

"With Huaxia's technical level, if you want to challenge Intel, you have to wait 100 years!"

"Oh my God, it's big news, the richest man in the world challenges Intel...... I don't know who will be the winner in the end, but what does that have to do with me? All I know is that this is excellent news! ā€

The Chinese and foreign reporters in the audience had their own thoughts and began to conceive their own drafts.

After the press conference, Lu Yang and Shencheng's top leaders visited the production line of Chaoxing CPU together. Guo Wei adhered to Lu Yang's efficient way of doing things, and the chip production line had been debugged a week ago. At the same time, this production line is also one of the most advanced chip production lines in the world, and the 22nm process used in it has reached the most advanced level of Intel.

After returning from Shencheng, Lu Yang and Ye Wenbing, Yu Lei and others tested the PC version of the smart operating system, and then, the Tianxin laptop launched by Tianxin Electronics came out. This laptop adheres to the consistent style of Tianxin Group, domestic, high-performance, exquisite design, and high-end market.

The notebook was finally named Meteor, and its launch date was set for early June, before the publicity campaign was in full swing, and Lu Yang updated the status on his Weibo blog and uploaded pictures of the Meteor notebook.

Lu Yang's publicity was just the beginning, and in the following time, Su Yan asked the marketing team to place a large number of advertisements in China. As for foreign countries, there are no sales plans for the time being.

"Boss, are we in a little too anxious, this year's focus should be on the Galaxy sports car, laptop, which can be placed at the product launch conference in October......" Su Yan was very troubled by Lu Yang's successive actions, "In fact, it is good to launch the superstar CPU first, there is no need to list it with the notebook." ā€

Lu Yang shook his head: "I know that there are many products in the group this year, and your work is under great pressure, including the 'Star 3' in the second half of the year, as well as a new generation of smart glasses, etc., but there is no way, we must maintain the current speed." If there is not enough manpower, then recruit, the promotion of new products cannot be stopped, and the technology research and development cannot be stopped. ā€

Su Yan said: "Actually, I think that the company's current stall is too big, which is not a good thing in the long run." ā€

Lu Yang shrugged, how could he not know this, but there was no way, there were too many things he wanted to do, if you really counted it, the current Tianxin Group was still far behind.

"Moreover, we don't have to be in such a hurry, the CPU and the notebook are launched together, the risk is much higher, once the sales of the notebook are frustrated, it is likely to affect the reputation of the superstar CPU." Su Yan said again.

"You don't have to worry about this, the report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on Chaoxing has been submitted to the senior leadership, or it won't be long before the central government will have a policy down, and I dare not say it abroad, in China, there is absolutely no problem with the sales of Chaoxing." Lu Yang said very confidently.

Not all high-level officials are willing to support the Tianxin Group, and within the government, a considerable number of people feel that the Tianxin Group has a tendency to be big and that the government should restrict it. However, now Huaxia can't do it if it wants to restrict Tianxin Group, the latter has absolute technical advantages in more than a dozen fields, some of which are even urgently needed by the government, including Chaoxing CPU and smart operating system, and people do business in a proper manner, not only do not violate the law, but also often participate in public welfare and charity, who can embarrass it?

"Okay, but I have discussed with Mr. Lei, and I have listened to the opinions of many experts, and everyone feels that our company's products are updated too quickly, which does not meet the principle of value maximization." Su Yan tactfully gave Lu Yang advice.

What Su Yan said is the truth, according to the R&D plan formulated by Lu Yang, the group's R&D progress far exceeds that of other competitors, otherwise, Tianxin Electronics will not always suppress Apple and force opponents to change the R&D schedule. From an economic point of view, it is also inappropriate for Lu Yang to do this, as if "Star 2" was released half a year later, "Star 2S" was listed, and the listing of the latter reduced the market potential of the former, and the final loss was Tianxin Group itself.

"Are we changing quickly?" Lu Yang asked rhetorically.

"It's too fast! I think we should make some technical reserves, instead of blindly launching new products. Su Yan affirmed.

Lu Yang smiled bitterly, you think it's fast, I still think it's slow. His contribution value has now risen to 73%, and in two years at most, Lu Yang's user level will be able to reach the second level, and at that time, the second-level technology is no longer in his vision, and the third-level technology is what he wants to pursue. If we don't take advantage of this time to bring the current technology to the market, won't these technologies be abandoned in the future?

"Don't worry, there is no problem with the company's technical reserves, and it is still according to my scheduled plan." Lu Yang couldn't explain it, so he could only make his own decisions.

Although the executives of Tianxin Group did not agree with Lu Yang's plan, they could only obey Lu Yang's insistence. As the owner of the company and the founder of the company, Lu Yang's authority in Tianxin Group is not something that anyone can challenge.

Lu Yang's next plan is terrible, after the news of the meteor notebook was released, Tianxin Group announced its entry into the computer operation market and began to actively promote the PC version of the smart operating system. Just two days after this news, Tianxin Group announced its entry into the server market and software market, and successively launched a series of products, which are the research and development results of Tianxin Group in the past two years.

Competing with Intel in the CPU field, Microsoft in the computer operating system, and IBM in the server field, Lu Yang's intention to challenge the three companies at the same time is surprising and more ridiculed, and his behavior has been described as Don Quixote challenging the windmill.

This was the beginning of what would be known as the War of the Century a decade later. (To be continued.) )
