Chapter 81 Billion Industrial Park

Whether the CPU of the game console should use RISC or CISC, since the day Nintendo's FC was born, there has been a constant quarrel, first Nintendo's internal employees quarreled, and then the whole world quarreled, and there was no final conclusion for decades, but Microsoft is an exception, from the beginning of Microsoft's soul Bill God has been firmly on the road of CISC.

Later facts also proved his correctness, the game console from the original single-function electronic toys to the later multimedia audio-visual entertainment network integrated system, there is no difference with the home computer, press the handle is the game machine, press the keyboard and mouse is a cheap computer, and the graphics processing power is incomparably much more powerful than the computer, until this time people gradually realize that the future of the home game machine is the world of CISC, RISC can only do it on the handheld game console.

Whether Mark understands it or not, Ling Shizhe has always instilled in him the only concept that home game consoles must use a CISC processor to be the most correct.

Mark didn't understand Ling Shizhe's theory at all, but he knew one thing, that is, Ling Shizhe's attitude towards CISC's support, which was enough for him, and Mark learned from the conversation with Ling Shizhe that Ling Shizhe's future market positioning of CISC is in the field of personal consumer computers, and he is still looking forward to personal computers.

After Ling Shizhe finished talking about his set of theories, Mark was just about to leave, and Ling Shizhe said again: "Wait Mark, even if personal computers and game consoles are developed immediately, we can't produce them now, do you understand?" ”

"Why boss, the PC is a good idea, positioning him as entertainment and taking into account people's work needs, I believe that this computer will be welcomed by people."

"Don't worry Mark, let's have a cup of coffee first," Ling Shizhe picked up the coffee and raised it to Mark, and after Mark took a sip, Ling Shizhe continued: "Mark, you should know very well that Ambrella's annual output of chips is currently 30 million per year, but in the first quarter of this year alone, we sold more than 30 million chips, and in the second quarter of this year, we sold more than 30 million chips, and the company's production capacity is far from keeping up with market demand."

In order to ensure the supply of the market, we have to go to a lot of third-party chip foundries to cooperate, the foundry conditions are very harsh, the company has lost a large part of the profits, now our top priority is to expand the production capacity of chips, not to launch new electronic products, don't say it's you, even the blade server development has to be postponed, until the production capacity is available, do you understand? ”

Mark nodded and said, "Boss, I understand that the market for computer cameras and scientific function calculators has increased significantly, especially the market for scientific function calculators is much larger than computer cameras, and the company's production capacity is seriously unable to keep up with the market demand." But it doesn't matter, I can wait, and when the company has enough capacity, I'll get these things out before then. ”

Ling Shizhe shook his head and said: "Even if it can be produced, it is necessary to launch the blade server on the market first, and then the flash memory chips on the RMP series CPU and solid-state drives alone will occupy a large part of the company's production capacity." The SSD market, in particular, is in demand for it at a level we can't imagine. You don't know how long you'll have to wait? ”

Mark was silent, some time ago Nien's team successfully developed a 5m capacity flash memory chip with an 8 micron process technology. Don't look at it small, but you have to know that this is 71 years, the storage capacity of a flash memory chip has reached the capacity of 5M, and the capacity of IBM's mechanical hard disk is only how much? 30m, larger than two refrigerators.

The capacity of a small flash memory chip is so large, so what is the capacity of the SSD made by Nien? Disassembling the shell of the SSD, you will find that in order to maximize the capacity of the hard drive, how much is 20 blocks in P? The capacity of 100M is 70M larger than the capacity of IBM's hard disk of 30M, and what is the cost of SSD? Less than $1,000, sold at $20,000, people will rush to ask, how many flash memory chips will be produced to meet the needs of the market? Nobody knows.

This is not the end, you must know that memory chips are also a huge market, AMD and Intel and many famous semiconductor giants in the future are starting from the production of memory chips and external registers, AMD is the first company in history to produce memory chips, Intel followed, after several years of market development, now the global memory market has become a huge market with an annual demand of more than 200 million, just computer cameras and scientific function calculators, can feed a lot of semiconductor companies.

The new high-capacity memory chip and memory module standard based on the principle of flash memory will definitely set off a revolution in the memory industry in the world, and the memory market will expand exponentially, how many factories will need to be built to meet the market demand? No one knows that no company can completely eat such a huge memory market, and neither can Ling Shizhe.

Ling Shizhe didn't plan to monopolize the new memory, the monopoly would attract envy, he planned to open up at that time, just collect patent fees like ROM chips. A patent fee of $1 per chip and a $2 patent fee for a memory module will bring Ambrera more than $100 million in net revenue every year by virtue of the patent fee.

With these two huge markets alone, Ling Shizhe has to launch the blade server first no matter what, and Mark's game console and personal computer must be postponed, which cannot be changed, and Mark himself knows it very well.

After thinking about it, Ling Shizhe said to him: "Don't be discouraged, Mark, I have decided to establish a chip industrial park in Hong Kong, and my plan is that this Hong Kong industrial park will produce one billion chips every year." ”

"A billion, my God! Billion, boss, you're not crazy, billion, what kind of chip needs a billion a year? The annual output of 100 million chips in the chip industrial park in Raccoon Town is incredible, and the output of one billion chips in Hong Kong is not enough. Mark was stunned by Ling Shizhe's reported figures.

Ling Shizhe choked his mouth, a billion chips scared you like this, if you knew that in the 21st century, the number of chips produced every year alone is as high as tens of billions, wouldn't you be scared into the hospital? As a result, the world's demand for chips is still growing at a rate of 5% per year. What is a billion chips, in the 21st century, the annual sales volume of personal computers alone will exceed one billion units, and the CPU alone is a billion yuan, not counting the annual output of more than 2 billion notebooks and various netbooks, just these two will drive how much chip demand? In short, in 2014, the annual output of Intel's various chips reached 8 billion, which is the world's largest chip manufacturer, and the chip output of TSMC and Taiwan UMC on the treasure island is even more terrifying, what is one billion, not to mention that Ambrera is Intel+ARM model, which is equivalent to Intel plus TSMC in adding a TSMC The annual output of all the companies is added together, think about how much this is, scare you to death.

"I don't know what kind of chips need a billion output, but I know that with Ambrera's current situation, the annual output of one billion chips of various kinds in the future is by no means a big number." Ling Shizhe bit the four words of various chips very hard.

Hearing what Ling Shizhe meant, Mark still couldn't think about it, and said: "How big is the area of the industrial park with an annual output of one billion chips?" ”

Ling Shizhe didn't answer him, thinking of the Texas Instruments Company in the future, a Texas Industrial Park with an annual output of one billion chips, which covers an area of more than 30 standard football fields alone, you can imagine how big it is.

One billion chip industrial park is a key layout of Ling Shizhe's industrialization of Hong Kong in the future, one billion is just the beginning, the future will reach 10 billion, 20 billion or even 30 billion, this is his goal, Hong Kong will be the world's largest chip factory, only in this way can we completely suppress those real estate developers.

"Has the Hong Kong government agreed?" Seeing that Ling Shizhe didn't answer, and Mark wasn't asking, he changed the question and muttered, you can know how big the industrial park of one billion chips is.

"A few days ago, Foster reported the company's plan, which is the leading team of the new governor, and they were taken aback as soon as the report went up, they thought that the company was blowing elephants, and it was changing ways to cheat land from the Hong Kong government so that they could engage in real estate projects, and Foster's negotiation team and the Hong Kong government's preliminary negotiations were quite unsmooth." Ling Shizhe shook his head and said.

Although the industrial park of one billion chips is very large, as Ling Shizhe, he does not need to come forward in person for the time being, and even Foster did not come forward, but entrusted a professional business negotiation company in the United States to negotiate with the Hong Kong government. Foster is a veteran expert in business negotiations, and he knows very well how to deal with the government, and the first request he made to the business negotiation company was to open his mouth, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, to give the new governor who has not yet taken office a dismissal, so that the new governor or Downing Street in the United Kingdom would pay attention to the presence of Ambrera in Hong Kong.

Allison also agreed with Foster's dismissal of the new port governor, saying in his report to Ling Shizhe that Ambrera is now an international super-corporation that must be respected, and that there is an American voice in this part of Hong Kong.

Now Ambrella's ownership structure has been modified, and now he is no longer a Canadian company, but an American company, headquartered in Silicon Valley, USA, the headquarters of Silicon Valley is just a shell, and the de facto headquarters is still in Raccoon Town, Montreal, Canada.

The reason for this change, first of all, is the suggestion put forward by Edward Kennedy, and secondly, for the company to have a better development in the future, with the help of the United States brand can block a lot of trouble in the future, this brand is much stronger than the Canadian brand, this is Ling Shizhe, Allison and Foster thought about the decision for a long time, but in order to prevent the United States from backlashing, the headquarters in Silicon Valley is just a shell, the core is still Canada, and at the same time strengthen the relationship with the Canadian government.

Ling Shizhe's small actions Edward Kennedy didn't say anything, on the contrary, he also thought that Ling Shizhe was right to do this, because his relationship with Ling Shizhe and Ambrera was a secret, and both parties didn't want this secret to be exposed, Ambrera had fledgling, and now he didn't need Edward Kennedy much, but Edward Kennedy needed Ling Shizhe's help very much, he was still not the leader of the Democratic Party, and his position in the Democratic Party was very humble, Ling Shizhe needed the help of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, But there is no need for the dispensable, dispensable Edward Kennedy in the Democratic Party.

Edward Kennedy was very worried that Ling Shizhe would abandon him, and without his support, Edward didn't know what the future would be, and would he follow in the footsteps of his two older brothers? So he came up with a philosophy, that is, to ask Ling Shizhe to move the headquarters of Ambrera to the United States, in order to test whether his attitude still supports him.

After receiving the notice, Ling Shizhe did not understand Edward's intentions at the first time, because he was not a politician after all, and he couldn't understand their ghost thoughts, but he knew one thing that Edward was the well-deserved leader of the Democratic Party in the United States in the future, and his affairs must be taken 100% seriously, and if he couldn't understand Edward's intentions, he had to consult with Allison, Foster, and Olson.

The three of them studied for several days without coming up with a clue, and finally Olson reminded him that why not go to Luo Dawei, who is now the president of Law Firm, which was formerly Kennedy's family law firm and served the Kennedy family, and called him in, he must know.

In this way, Ling Shizhe finally understood what Edward meant, what he didn't expect was that the future leader of the Democratic Party was living so depressed now, the icing on the cake was not a blessing for anyone, Ling Shizhe immediately asked Ambrera to become an American company, with Ann Edward's heart, so Ambrera became a company from the United States.
