Chapter 67: Listening

Reducing the cost of chips to one-third of what it is now? Cai Wenjie was a little nervous when he heard this, and this number shocked his heart.

Taiwan itself is now one of the most important semiconductor production bases in the world, rolling in such a market, and has always been a very relevant chip design industry.

Nowadays, the global chip industry has already passed its peak and has reached the bottom, only the top few of the world's major chip manufacturers can make profits, and the entire industry is not only difficult to make breakthroughs in technology, but also has reached the limit in technology. Today's major manufacturers, AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm, basically rely on scale to win, and profits have fallen to the lowest point in history. The selling price of each mobile phone chip in the market has even reached a record few dollars, and the meager profits have made it difficult for everyone to survive.

On the platform of silicon semiconductors, today's production technology has advanced to an unprecedented 10-nanometer process, which is already at the atomic level, almost to the limit. On this basis, it will be reduced to one-third, unless there is a breakthrough new technology in the chip production process.

But now, such a significant breakthrough is as simple as eating in the mouth of the young man opposite.

Cai Wenjie couldn't help but raise his head and look at Su Yu carefully, this young man who is so young and energetic seems to have been favored by God, a handsome and flawless young face, people can't help but like it from the bottom of their hearts when they meet for the first time. Is such a young man real? Will he really be able to deliver on that promise and achieve this almost impossible task?

If Silicon Power Technology can reduce the cost of chip production to one-third of today's and maintain sufficient supply, then combined with LianTek's excellent single-chip solution technology, the two companies can combine their interests and work together to create a super business alliance like Microsoft and Intel's WINTEL.

Continuous development of new chips, and silicon power technology to ensure that these chips can be produced quickly, with the lowest price to occupy the market, massive supply, low price, coupled with the innovative design of ChainTek, will create unprecedented industrial advantages, create a new miracle, in less than two years, can easily defeat INTEL, Qualcomm and other competitors, monopolize the market!

At that point, the business alliance will be able to establish a new industry standard, and thus realize its ultimate dream of building a super-intelligent empire with LianTek-designed chips. Let all the home appliances and machines be equipped with the chips designed by LianTek, and all the machines are intelligent, able to communicate freely under the same platform, and move according to the will of human beings at any time, completely becoming a free world for human beings.

Yes, that's it, as long as Silicon Power can fulfill his promise, then Cai Wenjie firmly believes that this will be realized. Having single-handedly created the wave of copycat smartphones in mainland China, he certainly knows what such a large drop in cost and price means in a commercial competition of this scale.

Actually, that's productivity! A revolutionary advance in productivity!

In fact, the reason why the world is still on the threshold of the information society and difficult to enter this door is that the most important thing is the limitation of production technology. Without enough low-cost smart chips, the so-called social automation will be difficult to achieve, and the dream of an information society based on this hardware will naturally not be realized.

In the future imagined by Cai Wenjie, in fact, there is no question of cost or not, once the complete monopoly standard is reached, then everything will have the final say in Lian Tek, just like the position that Microsoft once achieved in the operating system. Cai Wenjie will be able to thoroughly plan the future appearance of the information world according to his own ideas -- monopolizing the hardware foundation of the information world is actually no different from monopolizing the entire information world. That's when the era of true intelligence will come.

The power, the status, the honor...... Everything is going to roll in, and in this day and age, what could be more satisfying than a businessman's success?

Cai Wenjie looked at Su Yu fixedly, thinking, how is it possible, the dream will really come so simple?

……

Just as Su Yu and Cai Wenjie were talking, behind them, beyond the wide glass wall of Qinchun Garden, a high-rise building a thousand meters away from the pond of the Garden Hotel outside the house, in a room on the seventeenth floor, two people were listening to their conversation.

From the window of this room, a small opening was opened, and a machine like a PC computer case was placed on the table, a huge case, only revealing a small hole that was invisible, in the direction of the Qinchun Pavilion of the Garden Hotel below.

This thing has a simple big road name in the industry, laser pickup, English abbreviation OPU. However, its performance is very different from the kind of laser pickup used in the recording studio on the market, it is not only more powerful, the receiver is more sensitive, and whether it is software or hardware, it is far beyond the general sense of laser pickup. Of course, with such high performance and technical content, the occasions in which it is applied naturally have nothing to do with ordinary people, and it is one of the most cutting-edge spy equipment today.

The small hole in the front section of it can emit a high-intensity laser and irradiate it on the surface of the target building, so that it can perceive the air vibration caused by the sound in the target building, feedback the modulated laser information, and restore the laser information to the electrical signal, and then process it to remove the background noise and become the original sound information in the target building.

That is, this thing is actually a bugging. It is very functional, the use is very discreet, there is no need to install it at all, just find a place far away from the target building, put the angle right, you can sit down with peace of mind, eavesdrop on the information you want to listen to, the whole process is not even risky at all, and it will not attract attention at all.

Such machines, which are so far applied in the intelligence services, have an almost 100% success rate in attendance.

No one would have thought that espionage technology in the world had evolved to such a point that there were such high-tech bugging devices.

When Su Yu and Cai Wenjie were talking, the people around them were already far away, and after investigation, they didn't find any spy equipment, but it was impossible to prevent this incredible eavesdropping.

Moreover, it is ironic that the room chosen by the two is surrounded by glass walls and endless walls, which is intended to prevent people from eavesdropping on the conversation between the two. But unfortunately, the reflection effect of the glass wall in the face of the laser is much better than that of the ordinary cement stone wall, so now the eavesdroppers, sitting in the distance and listening to the conversation between the two of them, restore the sound quality is much better than usual, it is like listening to a live broadcast.

Cheng Tiecheng, 46 years old, a section chief of the Guangdong Provincial Operations Department of the Southern Bureau of a certain department, is carrying out his work at the moment.

After more than ten hours of monitoring work, he was very tired, his eyes were dull at the moment, Yin Tang was dark, and the whole person seemed very unenergetic, but suddenly, his ears moved, his eyes were condensed, and the whole person instantly radiated light like a sword out of the sheath, and there was a sentence in the dialogue of the target person that alarmed him:

Reduce the production cost of mobile phone chips to one-third of what it is now!
