Chapter 643: Monopoly

"So, we have to grow the company at least three or four times in a year?"

"At the same time, we have to work closely with several, well, to be precise, Huahong 909 Project, the imperial capital Yandong, and Shentuchuan Fangzheng."

"It takes at least three months to start the CNC machine tool project, and this year to seize 50% of the low-end market, which will continue to reduce costs, and even produce losses."

"The mobile phone platform and the new generation of mobile phone system under development need to continue to increase investment if they are to be launched to the market this year."

"If I want to put the digital camera production line into production immediately, I still have to modify the existing production line. This allows you to borrow Phoenix's brand and also saves the hassle of building a sales funnel. ”

"The industrial machine project is progressing smoothly, and the corporate business is our forte. In particular, the two companies FAW and XCMG have received very good feedback after the trial. ”

"I'm a little worried about the patent issue of SED, and now that the first patent is in the hands of an American company, we should start first!"

……

The conference room of the Imperial Capital Research Institute of the Pan Han Research Institute was filled with fireworks, and the core management of the Pan Han Group and the chief scientists of several core project development were worried.

Zhou Shuo's bold words were very happy to say, but if they really wanted to realize it, everyone realized that they had to face so many difficulties.

"This seems to be an impossible goal, and our original idea was to complete the layout of the x86 system around 2006!"

"I know, I know." Zhou Shuo pursed his lips. The phrase was repeated.

"I know it's capricious to say that, and it's very irresponsible to the group." He looked around at the people in the office. Shen Sheng said: "Compressing the original five or six years of work into one year may have such a miracle." But count on the market effect of the layout in five or six years. In a year's time, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

"So, Mr. Zhou, why are you doing this?"

"Because people who do the wrong thing, they have to pay." Zhou Shuo closed his eyes, sighed and said, "Mayor He's sacrifice, can it only be exchanged for a small prosecutor general?" Or even just to pull down a deputy director? It's not just those people who do the wrong thing, but I also do the wrong thing. ”

He raised his head, his gaze was determined, and he shocked everyone present: "I. I've been thinking about one thing. ”

"What exactly is Pan Han Group?"

"It encompasses the most downstream to the most upstream of the semiconductor industry, it can smelt sand into monocrystalline silicon, and it can make monocrystalline silicon into chips. In addition, it can produce most accessories for audio-visual entertainment, digital displays, mobile communications, and even x86-based computers. ”

"It's a monster."

"Has anyone ever wondered what the Panhan Group will become in the future according to the current development momentum?"

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was at a loss for Zhou Shuo's speech. It seems that the chairman of the Pan Han Group, who never goes wrong, and the person who single-handedly created a billion-dollar empire. Say you're wrong?

Likening the Panhan Group to a monster? What does that mean? What exactly does he want to do?

Silence remained for a moment, and one of the people in the conference room raised his hand and said, "I think it's going to be a consortium, right?" It's like Japan's Big Six, no. Perhaps it should be the trust enterprise of the United States. ”

"That's right, but you're a little more mild. To put it simply, in the next 10 years, if we can maintain the pace of growth in line with China's economy. The Pan Han Group will inevitably become a monopoly. Its monopoly will never appear in the semiconductor industry. It is capable of producing a qiē semiconductor product. It will compete with Intel in the x86 architecture, but I believe it is unbeatable in the ARM architecture and SPARC architecture......"

The person who had just raised his hand continued, "Isn't that great?" We can have a lot of options. Beat Intel under the x86 architecture, or simply support ARM to replace the x86 architecture. The latter option is a good one, as it bypasses the cumbersome patent setup of the x86 architecture, and ARM's system is more open. ”

"That's good? Maybe. Zhou Shuo's face did not look "very good" at all, but frowned: "Maybe we can turn China's import and export volume of electronic products from a deficit to a surplus." But how long will it take? How long can we last? To put it bluntly, when we become a part of the monopoly, the Pan Han Group has become the enemy we once wanted to defeat. ”

He made a fist gesture and said with a wry smile: "It will become as mercenary as the energy companies, will become afraid of the technological revolution like the energy companies, will become sluggish and bureaucratic, will become uncontrollable and full of self-destructive spirit." To put it simply, I am not optimistic about the competitiveness and vitality of Panhan Group, which will become a monopoly in the semiconductor industry and become a monopoly in the future Internet era. ”

"It can't be......"

Almost all the top and core scientists of the Pan Han Group were in the conference room, and most of them were silent because they really didn't know what to say.

If these words were uttered by an ordinary thirty-year-old, they would have laughed at them and dismissed them as delusional. But the owner of these words is Zhou Shuo, Zhou Shuo, who has always been at the forefront of the semiconductor industry, and Zhou Shuo, who has personally created the miracle of Panhan Group.

It has been proven countless times how accurate his vision is and how amazing his "business acumen" is.

Since he said that Pan Han Group will lose its competitiveness in the future because of monopoly, it is really very likely.

Only a few people were full of disbelief, and the vast majority of the rest had a solemn face at this time.

"I agree." This was the first senior executive to stand up to support him, Dongfang Ke coughed pretendedly, and said: "In fact, in the past two years, the operation of the group has had this trend. Since all of the monocrystalline silicon used in our fab is supplied in-house, the production cost of the Panhan mono fab has risen by 50%, and the development of the next generation of large-size mono wafers is not satisfactory. ”

"The reason is simple, with our production costs, even the current monocrystalline silicon size, we are not worried about competing with larger imported monocrystalline silicon wafers. In terms of cost, our small monocrystalline silicon wafers are even more advantageous than imported large monocrystalline silicon wafers. ”

"As a result, it is not only we that lack the motivation to develop the next generation of monocrystalline silicon furnaces ourselves. And because we have a monopoly on the supply of monocrystalline silicon furnaces in China, basically no other companies want to invest in this field. Because anyone who wants to share the cake may face our resistance. You must know that monocrystalline silicon is only a raw material, and the current domestic wafer factory production equipment still depends on our face. ”

Zhou Shuo looked at Dongfang Ke with satisfaction, nodded and said: "This is what I want to say, if Fanhan Group continues to develop like this, it may become a disaster for China's semiconductor industry." ”

Everyone in the conference room was at a loss, shaking their heads, and someone muttered: "However, we want to revitalize China's electronics industry......

"Yes, the revitalization of China's electronics industry is the direction we have been pursuing." Zhou Shuo laughed for the first time today and nodded: "I'm glad that everyone is still holding on to this dream, and is willing to accommodate some of my immaturity all along." ”

"To be honest, my personality is not so perfect, and I can even say that there are some flaws. I know how the world works, but I can't help but want to change it. ”

"The problem is that even though I'm the chairman of the Panhan Group, legally it's even completely mine." Zhou Shuo stretched out his hands and said sincerely: "But I know how many people's efforts have been condensed in the development of Fanhan Group to this day. So I want to get your support to prevent Panhan Group from becoming such a future. ”

"Such a future may bring us infinite wealth, power and prestige, but at the cost of stifling the future of China's electronics industry. We still need your support to change this fate, are you willing to support me? ”

Liu Gang clapped his hands and nodded, "Zhou'er, I feel as if I saw you again when you were in college." Anyway, I've got your back! ”

"I'm behind you, too." Tu Anbei was a little relieved, if everyone present cared about the development of the entire industry the most, I am afraid that he was the only one except Zhou Shuo.

Tu Anbei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Zhou, I didn't misread you, you are always the one who invited me out of the mountain back then." ”

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

……

The executives in the conference room expressed their attitudes one by one, and it should be said that although the Panhan Group is large, it is still a young enterprise. Its top ranks are still very young and are a group full of ideals and impulses. For Zhou Shuo himself, the Panhan Group was actually formed based on himself.

It is said that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, so many years, although Zhou Shuo has learned to respect capital, he knows how to be flexible and tactful. But at heart, he's still that -- an idealist.

And these people gathered around him, more or less, actually have such an ideal color. Even the eldest Tu Anbei is second only to him as an idealist.

The world does not welcome idealists, ridicule them, and despise them, but it is undeniable that they are there every time they promote social progress.

As the voices in the conference room gradually stopped, everyone's eyes focused on Zhou Shuo again. Their eyes cleared, waiting for the earth-shattering answer.

"Mr. Zhou, you say, what do you want to do?" (To be continued......)
