Chapter 644: Technology Diffusion

"What I want to do, it's simple."

Zhou Shuo's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said seriously: "I plan to spread the technology mastered by Fanhan Group in China. ”

"Technology diffusion? It's not about getting yourself in trouble......"

As soon as the opponents spoke, they gradually became unable to speak. Just now I was talking about avoiding the formation of a monopoly by the Panhan Group, so instead of relying on foreign-funded enterprises to occupy the market, wouldn't it be a better choice to spread the technology to domestic manufacturers?

Everyone only needs to think about it to understand that this is indeed the best choice at the moment. Diffusion technology does not mean that it will threaten the position of Panhan Group itself, and Panhan Group can have today's achievements, half of which is due to Panhan Research Institute and Zhou Shuo.

The strong scientific research strength and heritage of Panhan Research Institute, Zhou Shuo's outstanding vision and advanced research direction in the semiconductor industry are the foundation of Panhan Group.

As long as Panhan Group still controls the Panhan Research Institute and the helmsman of Fanhan Group is Zhou Shuo, there is no need to worry that Fanhan Group will be chased by other domestic enterprises.

But if there are more choices and more competitors, the development of the domestic electronics industry will not continue to be such a package, and finally become a backwater in the future.

"Of course, not indiscriminate diffusion, but targeted diffusion. We must not only ensure the situation of a hundred flowers in the domestic semiconductor industry, but also ensure the status of the industry leader and big capital. ”

Zhou Shuo explained: "With the improvement of technology, the cost of wafer fabs will increase exponentially in the future, just like Moore's law. I imagined a little bit about an ultraviolet lithography machine below 10nm. The cost of one of them should be higher than that of a current fab. Similarly, its R&D expenses will increase by dozens of times compared with the current R&D expenses. So with a technique like this, we can't spread the power. On the contrary, it is necessary to continuously strengthen the competition with foreign enterprises in the same industry......"

When he said this, everyone's faces suddenly improved a lot. The engineers, scientists, and executives at Pan Han are not afraid of competition. I'm just worried that Zhou Shuo is overkill.

Now that you know that he is still sanity, let me continue to trust his judgment. After all, this is no longer a problem of one factory, one department, or even Pan Han Group itself, but a problem of the future development of the entire industry.

In this conference room, and indeed in the whole of China, I am afraid that I can count the problems on one hand from his high level.

"And there are some aspects that we need to let go, let competition drive the development of the industry, and promote our own innovative power."

Zhou Shuo lowered his head and thought about it, and wrote two strokes on the paper with a pen in his hand. Then he continued.

"For example, the previously planned x86 architecture desktop computer accessories, which is the largest electronic product imported by China from the United States. CPU let's not talk about it for the time being, the patents and technical barriers here are too high. But in addition, like motherboards, memory and graphics cards, and hard drives, it will probably take three to five years to complete market development by doing it alone. ”

"That's right, that's what we expected. The countryside surrounds the cities, first crowding out the Americans in these markets with relatively low technical requirements. If the accessories of the whole system can't keep up with the speed of CPU development. In the end, the x86 architecture will naturally collapse like a castle on the beach. ”

"But the question is, are we capable of competing with American companies on our own? If we throw out such a plan, will we face a situation of internal and external difficulties? ”

"Internal and external difficulties. Mr. Zhou, are you saying that domestic companies will also oppose our plan......

Not all of you are business people, and scientists and engineers obviously have less experience in this area. Zhou Shuo said this. It doesn't seem like enough for them to understand.

"Yes, although it's a bit of a shame to say that. But I think. If this line is always controlled by the Americans, domestic manufacturers may have no choice but to admit it. But if we have the technology in our hands. But if you want to eat alone, you will definitely be hostile to those downstream enterprises. It should be said that this is human nature. ”

"Yes, I think it does." In the conference room, the person who knows the so-called downstream the most is probably Tu Anbei. The Dream Group he participated in the creation of before is the boss of the domestic brand machine. Think about it, if the supplier of Dream Group changes from a group of American companies to a Chinese company, even if the cost will drop by more than 50%, it will definitely be resented to death.

Everyone in the conference room whispered a few words, and nodded with palpitations. As long as you put yourself in the shoes of downstream manufacturers and think about it, you should understand that feeling.

"Of course, we at Pan Han Group are not afraid of anyone's resentment. However, from the perspective of the domestic semiconductor industry, technology diffusion will be the best choice. ”

"For example, the Great Wall Group, they have been very interested in the manufacture of hard drives. Most of the domestic digital storage market is also controlled by them. Instead of us producing our own hard drives, and then letting them compete with us on behalf of foreign companies' products, why not pull them to develop domestic hard drives together? As long as the technology is in place, it will be able to squeeze the American hard disk companies out of China immediately. ”

A scientist present nodded and said in agreement: "This also makes sense, in fact, I know that the Great Wall Group has always had a plan to independently develop domestic hard drives." In the nineties I tried, but unfortunately failed. ”

Zhou Shuo smiled, he could see this more clearly in the later life. The Great Wall Group launched a domestic hard disk in 1999, but it was not competitive in terms of technology and cost, and it could only be short-lived. However, they did not give up this path, but always maintained the goal of localization of hard disks.

By 2014, 75% of Seagate's hard drives were manufactured by Great Wall Group, with more than 5,000 patents related to hard drives and hard drive manufacturing. It's just that in terms of hard disk manufacturing technology, Seagate is actually completely inseparable from the Great Wall.

A group like this, as long as they are given a chance, will definitely be able to soar.

"It's not just hard drives, although Dream Group is now doing computer assembly with little technology, but it also used to design and manufacture motherboards by itself. This group of people Tu Lao should still be able to be contacted now, right? ”

Seeing Tu Anbei nodded, Zhou Shuo smiled with satisfaction: "We have taken advantage of the Asian financial crisis to acquire 58% of the shares of ASUS. The cost of human resources in Baodao has risen sharply in recent years, and I think it is completely possible to increase the production base in Gusu, move the production to China, and gradually arrange technical personnel to come over. On the side of the treasure island, it is enough to leave an administrative shell. ”

It can be said that thanks to the Asian financial crisis, many East Asian companies that had been doing well in the past have experienced financial problems in different ways. Although ASUS has begun to show its fierceness at this time, it has no ability to resist at all in the face of the six-eared investment fund wielding huge capital.

After buying and buying, ASUS was originally founded by four people, and the three founders all sold a considerable part of their shares, and finally added the stocks acquired from the market, and the Six Ears Fund became the future Fortune 500 company.

And the biggest gain of this is undoubtedly the technical strength of ASUS. ASUS is very advanced in the x86 system, not only in the motherboard, but also in the graphics card, server and other aspects of the deep technical reserves.

The acquisition of ASUS not only enabled Fanhan Group to master advanced motherboard design and manufacturing technology, but more importantly, to master the system integration capabilities of the entire x86 architecture computer, which can combine the entire layout.

Tu Anbei nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, these people are all my subordinates back then, and I believe that it will not be difficult to reassemble." ”

Not to mention that it is not difficult, of course Tu Anbei knows that as long as he leaks a little bit of air, these people will rush over with a scream. What is it? It's giving money!

"On top of that, we also acquired 3dfx, and their Voodoo graphics cards failed in the market, but they still have the roots. And ASUS itself has its own graphics card department, which can completely join forces and try to launch the next generation of Voodoo graphics cards. On top of that, it allows us to master the design capabilities of the GPU. ”

"My idea is this, design a GPU with advanced performance, and then spread the design and manufacturing technology of the graphics card. We only produce two or three high, medium and low-end graphics cards, mainly to promote domestic manufacturers to do specific graphics card development work. ”

Liu Gang thought for a moment and nodded: "I think this is no problem, I know that there is a company called Shihe Information, although it is mainly a treasure island brand agent, but it is technically ambitious." ”

"Shihe information?" Zhou Shuo thought about it and suddenly remembered, isn't this the rainbow of the later generations? Although the colorful motherboard has been criticized a lot, there is still a set of graphics cards. So he happily said: "Yes, this company can cooperate." ”

Zhou Shuo used to think that the domestic electronics industry seemed to be a desert, but it turned out that Chinese companies were not without ambition, but they just had no opportunities.

As long as you look hard, you can always find a company that is willing to do technology. As long as there is an opportunity to stand at the starting line, these companies will not necessarily lose to the Americans.

Bang Bang -

Zhou Shuo clapped his hands, stood up excitedly, looked around at the people in the conference room, and said with relief.

"That's it, no matter how strong our Panhan Group is, it is impossible for us to eat alone, and in the end, not only can we not defeat the Americans, but we will support ourselves to death. We want to unite and unite with like-minded people who share our minds. I ask you to remember that money is never enough, and don't just focus on the small plate now. The mission of our Pan Han Group is to make the whole cake bigger, not to hold this small cake in your arms and finally starve everyone on your side to death! (To be continued......)
