Chapter 858 [Speculation in the Streets]
"Speaking of these things, Microsoft founder Bill Gates recently publicly claimed in the media that he believes that North America will never be able to prevent China from having powerful high-end chips." Tian Jiayi recalled and said.
"Hehe......" Fang Hong smiled, and said slowly and leisurely with a bit of comfort: "Gates still has a reputation in China than other rich people in the United States, but he can say this remark, largely because Microsoft, which he founded, is one of the most successful players in the 'dumping' strategy, and he is afraid that it will be done when he sees that Xingyu Technology is also working on a PC operating system, but in general, his remarks are still sincere and pragmatic at the strategic level." ”
Microsoft's Windows system and Office office software and other products have adopted a rather laissez-faire strategy against the piracy of individual consumers for a long period of time, which is also one of the important reasons why it is difficult for domestic related products to develop greatly.
There was once a president of Microsoft in the Greater China market who wanted to crack down on piracy, and the Microsoft headquarters thought that he was just casually talking, but he didn't expect him to be serious, and he was directly fired by the Microsoft headquarters.
To this day, Microsoft's Windows operating system is still the basic foundation of the PC ecosystem, and the ecological advantages are quite stable.
It's just that since the chips of the STAR series of mobile phones have been suppressed and blocked, the company has begun to develop in the direction of diversification in order to find new growth points, not only entering the field of new energy vehicles, but also starting PC tablet computers.
In fact, the Internet industry has the special nature of marginal costs that are infinitely close to zero, and the experience of dumping strategies cannot be fully applied to the semiconductor industry.
Software R&D costs a lot, but once R&D is completed, the cost of copy replication is extremely low, and the server cost required by the Internet platform to add a single user is even lower to almost negligible, and the marginal cost is infinitely close to zero.
As a result, the cost of implementing a dumping strategy in the Internet software industry is very low, and the long-term benefits are extremely high, which is a major factor in the success of Microsoft's Windows in the Greater China market.
But at this moment, Fang Hong threw the tablet in his hand to the side of the sofa and said: "The recent lithography machine technology has achieved a major stage victory, which is commendable, but we don't do this kind of thing of opening champagne at half time, we still need to continue to work hard and forge ahead. ”
There are three main difficulties in lithography machines, namely "light source", "mirror group" and "duplex table".
In the area of duplex station, the cooperation with Harbin Institute of Technology is progressing quite smoothly and is about to be completed.
The biggest problem is the light source, and now the problem of the light source has also achieved a phased victory, and it is almost done.
Then there is the problem of the lens group, and the processing technology of this piece is also being overcome simultaneously, and the progress is also smoother than expected.
This has to mention that Fang Hong's approval of the Natural Science Foundation for the "Sky Survey Space Telescope" project has a huge budget of 100 billion yuan, which can be used for two "Sky Mirror" projects, and spending such a huge amount of money is not just to send a telescope to the distant Lagrange point to see the stars.
The lens process of this space telescope is also extremely demanding, otherwise it will not meet the accuracy requirements, and the polishing process of the lens group is also a proper cutting-edge technology. The survey space telescope project and the lithography machine seem to have nothing to do with each other, but some of the technical nodes are common, which is reflected in the reserve of technology and the cultivation of talents, and the lithography machine will eventually benefit.
The three major technical nodes of the lithography machine have feasible ways at present, and substantial progress has been made, and some key stuck points have also found breakthroughs.
The overall breakthrough is only a matter of time, Fang Hong estimates that the lithography technology node in the field of semiconductor industry will complete the breakthrough task in 2015 next year, and by 2016, the first fully independent production line will be able to land, and full mass production can be achieved in 2017 at the latest.
This is about a year earlier than he expected in 2018, according to this level of smoothness, by 2018 to reach the world's most cutting-edge level of semiconductors is almost a sure thing, considering the blow to competitors, the opponent's pace of progress may return, not to advance or retreat, maybe by 2018 will be far ahead.
……
It's Monday, November 17.
But said that in the capital market in the past few days, the big A opened high and went low today, and the Shanghai index market finally closed at 2472 points, last week because of Fang Hong's Weibo, the A-share market staged a short market every other day, and the market soared by more than 5 percentage points.
However, after breaking through 2500 points, it did not maintain the momentum of the upward rush, but entered the adjustment phase.
The wealth fund is not so fast, after the high mood of the day, the short-term funds are profitable, and the reflection is a pullback on the disk.
In the past two days, the hot spot of the outside world is no longer the business of wealth funds, and the heat has passed for several days, and it has been replaced by a new hot spot, and this new hot spot is also very related to the galaxies.
In the past two days, the speeches of the CEOs of international semiconductor manufacturers in Europe and the United States have made many domestic industry insiders and melon-eating people confused.
Because their attitude seems to change a little quickly, the big guy didn't get used to it for a while.
Obviously, the people don't know about the new micro semiconductor, Fang Hong just let the news to those international semiconductor manufacturers, the news has not spread, and even many people in the investment circle have not learned, and the news of the people is even lagging behind, and they are not aware of it at all.
This makes many melon-eating netizens feel a little paradoxical, like the president of the lithography machine giant ASML, the first half of the year was the most joyful for him, and the old nose of the words was ruthless, threatening to give you a copy of the drawings and you can't make a lithography machine, in the face of such mocking and contemptuous remarks, many domestic melon-eating netizens are also unhappy, but they can't refute it for a while, because you really didn't get it, which is very aggrieved.
But such a person with full sarcasm skills, the change in tone in the past two days can be called a 180-degree turn, flashing the waists of many melon-eating netizens, and he will actually say the rare humble remark of "We are too self-righteous".
Including the latest public remarks made by the president of the North American Semiconductor Association, even the interlaced Microsoft founder Bill Gates came out to speak out that North America will never be able to prevent the eastern powers from obtaining powerful chips......
With such remarks, even melon-eating netizens who are not in the industry clearly feel that the attitude of these foreigners is undergoing a major change.
