It was an accident to meet a local computer researcher in Xiangshan.

What surprised Shirakawa Kaede even more was that the local area was also engaged in its own chips.

And the industrial chain is still very complete, even if this industrial chain is extremely fragile.

But as long as it exists, there is hope, and there is a spark to pass on.

After sending Zhang Jin away, Bai Chuanfeng specially chatted with the relevant practitioners here.

According to the communication, from raw materials to lithography machines to chip design, there are actually relevant research laboratories doing it.

And the distributed lithography machine of the top university can achieve a processing accuracy of 3 microns.

3 microns, you can process SIC previous generation chip 80281.

This process is absolutely sufficient for mainstream commercial electronic products.

In other words, only 32-bit chips will use a 1.5 micron or higher 1 micron process.

But that's a processor-level chip, ordinary audio chips, DAC chips, driver chips, etc., can't use such high precision at all.

At the level of Zhang Jin's research institute, it is actually more than enough to make chips in Walkmans or TVs.

But as Shirakawa Kaede said before, because of international relations, there are some things that Shirakawa Electric really can't ask.

Then why did he ask Zhang Jin to go to the local agency in Pengcheng?

Although the factory is a joint venture between Shirakawa Electric and a local organization, if the local organization chooses to purchase Zhang Jin's chips, then Shirakawa Electric will not arouse the suspicion of others?

Shirakawa Kaede does this, and naturally there is a reason to do so.

Don't forget what others are restricting? It is embargoed high-end technology.

There is a big difference between an "embargo" and not an "introduction".

The joint venture factory is to purchase Zhang Jin's chips, rather than directly exporting chips here.

Locally produced chips are used locally, and these things have never been shipped to sea at all, so why embargo.

If it is Shirakawa Electric that purchases neon chips and ships them here, or SIC directly exports its own technology to Zhang Jin.

That would violate the relevant agreements and become the fuse for the settlement of accounts after the autumn of the United States.

However, the procurement is a reverse import, and strictly speaking, not only did it not violate the agreement, but it even made a great contribution.

This is a joke, of course, but it is certain that this operation did not violate the agreement.

Since it is within the rules, why is Shirakawa Kaede so cautious.

It's nothing more than to get rid of the suspicion on yourself.

You see, Shirakawa Electric is only one party to the joint venture, and the local supply chain has always been in charge of the other party, and Shirakawa Electric is only responsible for approval.

As long as the other party's parts meet the requirements of Shirakawa Electric and the price is appropriate, it will be purchased.

Yes, in order to further distance themselves from the relationship, neither Shirakawa Electric nor SIC will export any technology locally.

He only audited the pass rate of the parts, and if the performance was not up to standard, he would send them back and let them redesign until they met the requirements of Shirakawa Electric.

All Bai Chuanfeng can do is to give Zhang Jin a chance, if the other party can make qualified chips, the joint venture factory will purchase these chips.

Relying on the profits of these chips, the local integrated circuit research and semiconductor industry can retain a weak spark and continue.

As long as he can do this, it will be considered that his wish has been fulfilled. At the same time, it can be regarded as making up for the regret in my heart.

The pain of the skin decades later, if it can be avoided, it will be regarded as a lifetime in vain.

In fact, with the current relationship between the United States and the rabbit, the relevant organizations will not care about this trivial matter.

Panasonic is fine with the whole set of technology, and it doesn't matter if Shirakawa Electric purchases local parts.

Even later, Toshiba directly sold the high-precision machine tool of the woolly bear, so that the big black fish of the hairy bear could not be caught in the United States.

Toshiba, who committed the crime in the end, said that although he broke his muscles and bones, he still lived well.

Compared with them, Shirakawa Electric is already very well-behaved.

But Shirakawa Kaede is thinking about the future, the honeymoon period is short after all.

A few years later, in the 90s, a certain big brother collapsed.

At that time, the United States will turn its guns back and aim at this place, and certain organizations will also fulfill their responsibilities again.

But even if the United States wants to settle accounts after the autumn, it will not be able to catch the slightest handle of Baichuan Electric.

Even a check will find that Shirakawa Electric is very innocent, and the bottom is clean.

Even if you suspect that he is supporting local sensitive enterprises, that's okay.

Every one of my documents has been reviewed by the neon government, and at the same time, you have also read it behind your back, so you can't say that I didn't report it.

While helping others, Kaede Shirakawa also needs to ensure her own safety.

Wait until the 90s, even if the business doesn't work out.

However, with the transition in the past few years, I believe that the local semiconductor industry is no longer as weak as it is now.

Baichuan Electric entered Huaxia to make up for the last link in its semiconductor industry chain, the market!

Only by forming a virtuous circle will the industry move forward healthily, rather than relying solely on state funding.

Those who have quietly dedicated themselves to this country behind their backs, but have never been known for the rest of their lives, hope that your efforts will not be in vain.

Not to mention that Zhang Jin traveled thousands of miles to major joint venture factories to promote his chips, and stayed in China for more than two months, Shirakawa Feng is also ready to return to Neon.

Shirakawa Kaede, who had just returned to Neon from China in July, felt that he had just been away for less than three months, and Neon had changed a lot again.

Although Tokyo is still that Tokyo, neon is still that neon.

But Shirakawa Kaede clearly felt a stir in the air, and it was not because it was summer in July and it was hot in Tokyo.

People in a hurry have warm smiles on their faces. And what everyone talks about is the stock market and housing prices.

Yes, another big change in Tokyo is the skyrocketing housing prices.

Since April, when Shirakawa Kaede went to China to investigate, the government agencies here in Neon have come up with another major measure to stimulate economic development.

"We plan to expand the scale of the project, focusing on the promotion of housing measures and urban redevelopment projects and the utilization of the vitality of the private sector.

To this end, it is necessary to promote the facilitation of regulations and the effect of preemptive stimulus. ”

Translated from this sentence, it is to use real estate to stimulate domestic demand and redevelop existing urban areas, especially metropolitan areas.

The first half of the sentence is the point, that is, "to stimulate domestic demand with real estate".

The reason why the neon government introduced this policy is that its ultimate purpose is to stimulate domestic demand and drive mass consumption.

From the beginning of January to the current July. The yen's appreciation is moving forward like a bullet train.

At the beginning of the year, the yen was trading at 195:1 against the dollar, do you know what the ratio is now?

155:1~！

A year ago, the number was 250:1. In less than a year, the yen has appreciated by almost 40%!

This speed is so fast that the Nakasone cabinet, which has adopted the policy of "strong yen", feels unsure.

So in order to curb the rapid appreciation of the yen, in the past few months, the neon government has thrown out trillions of yen to buy dollars.

The neon government has bought tens of billions of dollars, but as before, it has had little effect.

The money went around and went back to the financial markets of the country and continued to heat up the stock market.

In addition to buying dollars and selling yen, the neon government has also asked for help from the United States.

According to the agreement, the goal of the appreciation of the yen has long been achieved. Therefore, the neon government hopes that the government of the United States will shout to the market and cool down the yen.

However, several requests for help before and after were rejected by the Mi government.

The lighthouse countries' thinking is very clear: the depreciation of the dollar is not the goal, but the most fundamental goal is to solve the trade deficit.

As long as this number does not fall for a day, it will not start to clean up the end of the exchange rate for a day.

The fact now is that the trade deficit of the United States has not only not been resolved, but is rising.

So in the face of the neon government's repeated requests for help, Mi Guo casually found a reason to refuse.

The vague attitude of the US government has given the market the illusion that the yen has speculative expectations that it can appreciate indefinitely.

As a result, the yen exchange rate rushed wildly, and it was clear that the neon government alone could not oppose the entire market.

In the six months since the yen appreciated, local small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in physical manufacturing have become more and more difficult.

One of the characteristics of Neon's manufacturing industry is that it engages in overseas trade activities through a circular production system in which small and medium-sized enterprises supply parts and components are assembled and exported by large enterprises.

For example, Shirakawa Electric, Sony, and Panasonic are all typical representatives, a CD player or a TV, except for the most critical parts.

All other materials and parts are assembled by purchasing third-party parts, and then labeled with their own brands for export overseas.

At this time, the yen appreciates, and in order to reduce production costs, large companies will adjust their supply chains.

Either we can buy parts directly from overseas to reduce costs, or we can do it like Shirakawa Electric. Increase overseas investment and transfer production capacity to achieve a significant reduction in costs.

But without exception, all small and medium-sized enterprises in the local supply chain have been abandoned, orders have been lost, and survival is unsustainable.

Of course, that is not the case yet, but it is true that small and medium-sized enterprises are in a difficult situation. And as the yen appreciates, the situation will get worse and worse.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, the neon manufacturing industry has shown signs of "hollowing out".

The hollowing out of industry is not a good phenomenon, and it refers to the rapid transfer of material production and capital centered on manufacturing to foreign countries in large quantities.

It has led to a marked decline in the status of material production in the national economy and a serious imbalance in the proportional relationship between domestic material production and non-material production.

This phenomenon has another name, that is, "deindustrialization", and later generations of Ami have also stepped on this pit.

The phenomenon of deindustrialization usually occurs in highly developed countries.

But this is still too early for neon at this time.

The golden age of manufacturing has only been developed for a few years, and it is facing the situation of giving up halfway.

Faced with this situation, as well as a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises seeking help, the neon government is also anxious.

According to a survey by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry there, since the Plaza Agreement.

The GDP of the neon export manufacturing industry has grown from 40 trillion yen to 14% of GDP. It fell to 8% this year, less than 30 trillion yen.

The contribution of export manufacturing to GDP has plummeted by almost half.

This is the impact of the 40% appreciation of the yen on the neon manufacturing industry.

It can be said that the situation is very serious, which is why the neon government keeps asking for help from the United States.

Now that the United States is indifferent, the neon government can only save itself.

However, its self-help is really a bad move, which is still related to the Nakasone cabinet.
