Chapter 165 Chip Foundry
Boss Wang was very satisfied with his manager's statement, and he was not interested in the rest of the factory construction.
In the praise of those officials, Wang Yue then inspected another project of his own in this park, that is, his Xinwang company, unlike the automobile company, the infrastructure has been completed here, the construction of the plant cost 200 million US dollars is mainly green as a whole, and the roof also has the company logo, a blue octopus stretching its tentacles around, because the local earthquake area, so the earthquake resistance level of this factory is very high, anyway, his designer told him that the nine-magnitude earthquake can survive.
At this time, the factory is installing those expensive equipment, basically a full set of ASML products, in fact, including the construction of the plant is also guided by ASML, it is said that the inside is so clean that even the dust in the air is not allowed to exceed 0.5 microns, looking at the high-end atmosphere, with the current situation of this company, it can already launch its own low-end chips to the market.
"No, we don't make that kind of thing, we want to build high-end CPUs." Boss Wang said very angrily.
"Mr. Wang, with our current capabilities, it is not difficult to develop a CPU equivalent to Intel's products a few years ago, and even relying on these devices that can be said to be at the same level as Intel, we can also achieve mass production, but the problem is that no one wants to produce it?" Lao He, the manager of Xinwang Company, said with a wry smile.
In fact, according to his design ♀, the best way should be to start with low-end chips, after all, the domestic market demand for this thing is also very large, and the equipment of Xinwang Company is so advanced that it is outrageous, and the cost and quality of these low-end chips can be produced with them that are almost the same as imported goods. In this way, the market can be opened, and the company can enter a healthy development, and then after it has enough popularity, it will develop into the field of computer CPUs, instead of directly hitting Intel's impregnable castle with its head from the beginning.
That's just death, just look at the corpses that have been killed everywhere in front of you. There are all strong ones, and there are even some national levels.
Xinwang can design and produce CPUs, which is not something unattainable, some companies can design them, but as long as the performance cannot reach the same level as Intel, then no computer manufacturer will purchase it, because it is no different from suicide. Unless you make your own computers, but unless they are in a closed market, you don't expect customers to buy them, even if they are cheap. There was already a bloody corpse hanging in front of Intel in front of the public.
What's more, there is Microsoft, a line of defense that is also impossible to cross, creating CPUs so that Microsoft is not allowed to use their operating system, and the result is still a mirror, in addition to the patent This is a high-raised guillotine, it can be said that there is only a dead end to play this.
"No solution?" After listening to his manager's introduction, Boss Wang said.
"Yes, there is no solution, unless we can make Intel's same level of chips, have an operating system that is comparable to Microsoft, and this operating system must also support the vast amount of software on the market that is built on Microsoft. Otherwise, we will never be able to solve this situation, of course, provided that Intel and Microsoft will not trouble us on patent issues, this is a castle that can be described as impregnable. Lao He said.
"What about battering rams?" Boss Wang said.
"Take, smash with a battering ram?" Lao He said blankly. He didn't understand what Wang Yue meant by this.
"Suppose, I'm just saying what if, Intel licenses us to produce the latest chips that use their proprietary designs, or Microsoft gives us permission to use their operating system. Is this problem solved? Wang Yue said.
"Yes, as long as one of these two problems is solved, we can enter this market. But they are unlikely to agree. Lao He said.
"It's a matter of people, let's try to fight for it, and they will always agree." Boss Wang said with a smile, but his smile was a little evil.
Looking at his smile, Lao He suddenly understood what this notorious guy meant by smashing with a battering ram, he couldn't help but shiver and then said in a dry tone: "Mr. Wang, if you play like that, you'd better think about the consequences, what if Intel stops all factories in China in a fit of anger and stops exporting chips to us?" ”
"Ah, that's a question to consider." Boss Wang touched his chin wisely and said, but then he was stunned for a moment and said, "What kind of play?" Did I say how to play? ”
"No, no, you didn't say that." Lao He said busily.
"That's right, I obviously said to negotiate with them and use negotiation to solve the problem, I didn't say to burn other people's factories and tie up other people's boards of directors, we are all civilized people, how can we do that, it's you thinking too much." Boss Wang patted him on the shoulder and said seriously.
Lao He showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.
"As for the next, according to what you mean, produce some low-end chips, first run the factory and play slowly, as for the CPU problem, I will find a way to solve it." Boss Wang continued.
In fact, this problem is not easy to solve Boss Wang, first of all, this problem can not be smashed with money, these two companies are not short of money, and second, he cannot threaten with force, because the threat of people to China is more ruthless than him, Intel played an embargo on China for a year, and they can't lose a few dollars, but those computer manufacturers in China, which are known as national enterprises, have only one way to go bankrupt and go bankrupt, and then the recession of the entire economy.
The Chinese government will never allow him to drag the whole country into a disaster for the sake of a purely toy company.
"Do you really want to stop there?" Back on the Marauder, Boss Wang paced tangled his steps on the deck.
But this is not in line with his style, although with the strength of the core king, it can also be mixed in the low-end chip market, but Boss Wang wants a computer CPU, no matter how good the others are, as long as there is no such thing, it is as uncomfortable as a person who has a table full of food without salt.
"Why do you keep struggling with this question? Did you know that now our factory can be used to make a fortune? Lin Tong said with a smile on his constipated expression.
"What do you mean?"
"You just think about the computer CPU, but have you ever thought about it, first of all, it is impossible for our R&D team to make products of the same level as Intel, they can make at most a few years behind others, even if Intel does not find our patent trouble, Microsoft agrees that we use their operating system, the result will not be popular in the market, and in the end I am afraid it can only be hung on Intel's fortress to show the public."
"So what do I do? You can't rely on building learning machines and electric toy chips to make a mess, right? ”
"You are so stupid, you just want to make products, do you know that ASML's equipment itself is priceless, most of it is embargoed to us by the Saint-Wana Agreement, why the domestic chip industry has always been half-dead, a big part of it is because we can't buy the latest production equipment, we can make things that are not inferior to Intel in the real room, but we can't mass produce it, and our equipment can.
Do you know how much pressure ASML is putting on to meet your requirements? The US imperialists are now fining ASML $2 billion for violating the Saint-Wana Agreement! Lin Tong said angrily.
"Huh?! I'm sorry, you go and talk to the manager of ASML, and I'll ask the dragon king for two places on their board of directors. Boss Wang said with a happy smile.
Now it's not just the Chinese people who are worried about asking for the blessing of the Dragon King, after all, this kind of thing is what everyone dreams of, but Boss Wang didn't let go, thinking that two places are enough to compensate those Sealand people, and if he forces people to this point, he is also a little reluctant in his conscience.
Lin Tong nodded and said: "With our set of technology, many chips used by the military that could not be manufactured, or those that were manufactured with unstable quality, can be truly manufactured in large quantities." So we don't need to develop this kind of thing ourselves, let the Chinese Academy of Sciences or other domestic chip research institutions design it, and we will do OEM for them. With this alone, we can make a lot of money, and then keep an eye on the most advanced foreign manufacturing technology, ASML, Nikon, Canon, as long as they come out with the latest equipment, we will force them to sell, I think none of them have the courage to refuse us at this point.
In this way, our processing capacity can always be maintained in the domestic dust, and even in the international is not lagging behind, and those chips that cannot be obtained because of the San Wana agreement in China can be handed over to us to OEM, many of these chips are related to national security, no one will care about the foundry cost with us, and we are also the only one such foundry, I think you should understand what this means. Lin Tong said.
Understand, of course, Boss Wang understands that the country wants those chips that cannot be obtained due to the Santa Vana Agreement, so they can only design their own and then find Xinwang Company to OEM, others do not have such processing capabilities, and those who have processing capabilities are impossible to process abroad, of course, the country does not dare to find them to process, Xinwang is the only choice, this only thing brought by economic interests and political interests is unimaginable.
"The next time Bill Gates visits China, he should invite you to dinner alone, if it weren't for you, maybe he would be locked up in a small dark room for a while." Boss Wang said seriously. (To be continued......)
