Chapter 430: Prepare for the Storage Storm!
This time, Luo Jia seems to have underestimated the determination of the Chinese nation, and the cruel reality has taught the Chinese people a lesson that goes deep into the bone marrow, and everyone no longer has any illusions about the peaceful rise, so under the persuasion of Mr. Ren and the business tycoons, Xingchen Technology is desperate and refuses to negotiate with North America.
As for the blockade of memory chips, the rapid expansion of smuggling channels has alleviated the shortage of domestic parts to a large extent, just like people desperately brought Apple mobile phones from overseas to China, but now the entrained goods have been replaced by small memory chips, and a large number of smuggled memory chips are sent to factories all over the country every day.
From November to December, and from December to January, the whole Huaxia waited in forbearance, Xingchen Technology rarely canceled the New Year's holiday, and entered the sixth year of the company's establishment in the tense atmosphere of overtime of all employees.
At the end of January, An Ran came to Luo Jia with a tired look, and it happened that Shen Lang was also there, and he was proudly puffing up his chest to report to Luo Jia the annual report of his subsidiary Xingchen Entertainment last year.
The cultural and entertainment front, led by the geniuses of Star University, has achieved remarkable results in the past year, and its projects such as film, television, games, advertising endorsements, variety interviews, etc., are expanding globally with an invincible trend.
Although it is unrealistic to expect the little ones to seize cultural hegemony in a short period of time, now in the field of culture and entertainment, Xingchen Entertainment has become a qualified challenger.
Especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia, these culturally similar regions to China, Xingchen Entertainment has won half of the country, Luo Feng, Anna, Han Xiao, the superheroes launched by Xingchen Group, have faintly had a tendency to compete with the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe.
After instructing Shen Lang as a leader, Luo Jia let him leave, the world of geniuses is always imaginative, Luo Jia doesn't want to interfere too much, resulting in geniuses having no way to play freely.
To cultivate geniuses who conquer the world, first of all, we must give them enough trust, and the cultural and entertainment front will be handed over to Xingchen University, no matter how much money they spend, whether they can achieve results in the end, Luo Jia will not care, just think that it is the practice of geniuses before entering the parent company, after all, the scientific and technological front is their final stage.
After Shen Lang left, Luo Jia asked An Ran what he was looking for, An Ran smiled, and said to Luo Jia lightly: "It's done, fortunately, I don't disgrace my mission." ”
"So fast!?"
After Luo Jia blurted out this sentence, he immediately regretted it, looking at the dark circles under his eyes like Enron Panda, he knew how many nights the hardware department had stayed up for this, how much effort had been spent, and he just threw the solution of the golden dome to the hardware department, and the engineers of the hardware department were responsible for turning the blueprint into reality, which was difficult for outsiders to imagine.
"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Jia said: "When the semiconductor project is completed, I will give the hardware department a half-year vacation. ”
An Ran said quite carelessly: "It's still half a year off, the company is so busy, I can have half a month of vacation, so that everyone can spend the New Year in peace, thank God, let's go, if you are free now, go to us to have a look." ”
……
The huge round graphene wafer is cleaned and etched on the lithography machine, and then laser split into the chip body, which is no bigger than a small fingernail, and finally packaged and electrically inspected, leaving neat rows of golden contacts at the bottom of the chip.
This is a replacement memory and flash memory product, which can be compatible with older computers and serve older computers.
The other kind is amazing, the real embedded design, processor, master control, logic, storage, all are encapsulated as a whole, the same size of a small fingernail, but the level has reached an astonishing five hundred and twelve layers.
"Old-fashioned memory and flash memory with next-generation technology are not cost-effective for us." An Ran shrugged his shoulders and said to Luo Jia: "What are you doing to upgrade those old computers, how good it is to directly let everyone change to new ones." ”
Luo Jia shook his head, "The most important thing in doing business is to be honest, you can't force you to buy and sell, the model we launched a few months ago uses a separate design of processor and storage, and now we have a hyper-integrated chip, so we don't care if the old customers live or die?" ”
"Impossible, old customers are not as good as dogs, that is the practice of Unicom, not ours, since the products are provided to customers, then we must be responsible for the end, to customers for a new type of storage money, we can afford it, I don't know what money means for other companies, but for us Xingchen Technology, money is just a tool to achieve the goal."
That night, after several rounds of testing, Xingchen Technology's storage products fully met the design requirements, and Luo Jia and Enron were greatly relieved.
"Without further ado, prepare for the launch now." Luo Jia thought for a few minutes and said to his colleagues in the administration department.
……
Whenever people mention terms like high-tech or semiconductors, they are always used to associate them with Silicon Valley in California, but in fact, not all of the major high-tech companies in North America are in Silicon Valley, for example, Boeing in Seattle, and Microsoft in Redmond, next door to Seattle.
Micron Group, the world's second-largest memory chip manufacturer, is headquartered in Edho, which many Chinese people have never heard of, next to the British province of Columbia, Canada.
At this moment, the headquarters of Micron Group, located in the bustling Edho, suddenly welcomed three heavyweight VIPs, namely Dr. Jerryne, President of Bell Labs, Dr. Hollier, Chairman of the Semiconductor Alliance, and special assistant to the President. Mr. Mitterrand.
The president of Micron Adams, was surprised and shocked by the joint visit of these three people, they are all out-and-out big names, Dr. Jerry of Bell Laboratories is the standard-bearer of the White House in the field of science and technology, and Dr. Houllier represents the back-of-the-scenes financier of the technology industry, the power of Wall Street, and as for Mr. Mitterrand, he is the president's most trusted aide and holds many secrets that must be brought to the grave.
In Adams's office, after a hypocritical but polite greeting, Chairman Houllier finally revealed his intentions, in fact, even if he didn't say it, Adams could guess that there was nothing else to attract them to remote Edino.
"Looks like it's time?"
"Hmm."
"That's right, the memory chips we have for the next generation."
"It's a pity that the next-generation storage should have been launched with Intel's ultra-nano process, but Xingchen Technology's offensive was so aggressive that we had to change our plans to launch the seventh-generation DDR memory, as well as the next-generation flash memory, the 3DXPOINT high-density storage system, before launching the next-generation CPU."
"Well, who gave us technical support from NASA and Oak Ridge Lab when we were developing these technologies, specifically, when should we release these next-generation technologies?"
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Wouldn't that just be the right time for the memory chip conference of Xingchen Technology? ”
"That's right, that's what you want, and the same day as those yellow-skinned monkeys who released their products, which no one has dared to do since the tragedy of Samsung and Apple."
The words of the president's special envoy Mitterrand made everyone sigh for a while, and at the same time, a gleam of hatred flashed in their eyes.
After the end of the famous mobile phone war, Xingchen Technology released many products and technologies, and held many product launch conferences, but not once, the forces from the West dared to openly argue with Xingchen Technology.
Thinking about the fiasco of Samsung and Apple, it is not difficult to understand that everyone took the initiative to bypass the days when Xingchen Technology released new products, after all, a large part of the fame of the tough guy Tiantuan is based on scolding others.
Dr. Hollier analyzed quite sophisticatedly: "So far, in the two technologies of memory and flash memory, Huaxia has only mastered a part of the memory technology, that is, the DDR3 generation of Tsinghua Unigroup, with a frequency of 1600. ”
"So you see, how weak Huaxia is in the field of memory chips, they can't even make fourth-generation DDR chips, they can only produce the outdated third-generation, and what we are about to launch is the seventh-generation DDR!"
"In this case, we don't have anything to worry about, even if Xingchen Technology is strong, even if they have the fourth-generation DDR technology, even if their production process is very good, they can build a zero-point-one-nanometer process, so that the single-chip storage capacity is greatly improved."
"But so what!?"
"I've seen the memory module integrated in the processor by Xingchen Technology, the fourth-generation DDR, 2666 frequency, the standard is outdated!"
Hollier is worthy of being the chairman of the semiconductor alliance, and his analysis is quite professional, so that Micron's president Adams has gained great confidence, and he feels that he will definitely make Xingchen Technology lose face to his grandmother's house this time.
Judging from the experimental products flowing out of secret channels, Xingchen Technology is equipped with outdated fourth-generation DDR for the CPU, and there is no possibility of beating Micron's seventh-generation products at all.
However, the idea is always beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Regarding this discussion that happened on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Luo Jia just wanted to say, you only use DDR, your whole family uses DDR!
