Chapter 309: "God Commands" Secret Door
Although the Dawning S1 mobile phone is not as good as the Dawning S2 smartphone, it can still get a lot of sales if it is transformed and upgraded.
After all, flip phones are also liked by many people in this era, as long as the price is a little cheaper than the Dawning S2 smartphone, presumably the final sales are not too low.
"Okay, let's go back to the topic, that is, how much money to invest in the research and development of semiconductor production equipment and the acquisition of domestic and foreign semiconductor equipment companies."
Hearing Lin Chen say this, the senior executives of Shuguang Technology at the scene naturally had no opinion.
At this time, Ni Guangnan, as the head of the Sugon R&D Center, hopes to really spend $25 billion to develop semiconductor chip production equipment and acquire domestic and foreign semiconductor equipment companies.
But he can't be so selfish, he can't seriously hinder the overall development speed of Shuguang Technology because of the research and development of semiconductor production equipment and the acquisition of domestic and foreign semiconductor equipment companies, so Ni Guangnan slowly said:
"We are now asking for money everywhere, and we want to spend $25 billion a year to develop semiconductor equipment and acquire domestic and foreign semiconductor equipment companies, and we can afford to rely on the profits of 70 million units a year for high-end mobile phones alone.
However, in the case of developing everywhere, the vast majority of profits are used to develop semiconductor production equipment and acquire domestic and foreign semiconductor equipment companies, and other things will not be able to develop due to lack of money.
In this case, I think the funds can be reduced a little, and it is up to Lin Chen to decide how much. ”
At this time, Ni Guangnan was also relieved after finishing speaking.
Although he has the dream of becoming a chip power, he dreams of making Daxia chips rise and letting Daxia computer CPUs defeat Intel's CPUs.
But you can't be so selfish, you can't use most of the profits of Sugon Technology to develop semiconductor production equipment and acquire semiconductor equipment companies at home and abroad, after all, the development of other things is also asking for money everywhere.
So Ni Guangnan finally suggested reducing R&D funds, which can be regarded as worthy of his conscience and his dreams.
At this time, when people heard Ni Guangnan say this, they all focused their attention on Lin Chen, wanting to see what Lin Chen said.
In this regard, Lin Chen did not directly say whether to reduce R&D funds after people's eyes were invested, but said with a serious face:
"First of all, we must attach great importance to the development of mobile phone chips, because the strength of the performance of mobile phone chips can be said to determine whether our Sugon technology will continue to win or fail in the future.
Whether it is the mobile phone screen or the mobile phone lens or even other aspects, it can be said that our Sugon S2 smart phone is very powerful, and the technology of the department's mobile phone spare parts is at least 3 years ahead of the West.
However, the mobile phone processor is our biggest weakness, and we can only produce 130 nanometer mobile phone chips, which are three times the number of transistors compared with 90 nanometers.
That is to say, the size of the same Pentium 4 computer CPU can achieve 50 million transistors using 130nm process technology, but 150 million transistors can be achieved using 90nm process technology!
The difference between these three times the number of transistors is terrifying, and if we can't quickly solve the problem of the 90nm process.
The end result must be someone else's mobile phone processor because of its powerful performance, super fast response speed no matter what it does, richer game content and graphics, and can support large-scale 3D games and so on.
Under this huge performance gap, our Sugon S2 smartphone sales will definitely suffer a huge setback.
At that time, not to mention the sales volume went further, it was difficult to even maintain the current annual sales level of 70 million. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Chen continued in the silence of the people:
"Of course, you can also say that since we can't produce 90-nanometer mobile phone chips, why don't we find chip foundries such as TSMC, Sanyi, Tailiandian, and Dezhou Instruments to OEM 90-nanometer mobile phone chips for us.
But I would say we can't look at Western companies too well, and if you look at the history of their rise as Western tech companies, you will find that they don't honestly play formal competition with you.
They are also very good at engaging in all kinds of partial methods, such as the last time the four major mobile phone giants started the mid-to-high-end mobile phone parts restriction incident.
Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that we are competitors with TSMC, Taiwan United Store, Dezhou Instruments, Sanyi Electronics and even other chip foundries.
If we really let them produce 90-nanometer mobile phone chips for us, we will not be able to find out if they bury mines in our mobile phone chips.
As for what the consequences of their mines are planted, I will roughly say that the means of planting mines are nothing more than leaving hardware bugs in the processors of our mobile phones or leaving "God's instructions" secret doors.
Among them, the hardware BUG is good to say, we can fix it through the system software level.
Once they bury a "God's Order" secret door in our mobile phone processor, then this "God's Order" secret door can be called to the brink of bankruptcy!
Because there is such a "God's order" secret door, the commercial departments of Meditech and other countries can refuse to sell our mobile phones on the shelves on the grounds of security risks, and also order us to return them for refund.
Of course, even if Medi and other countries don't do that, our problematic phones will definitely be recalled and replaced with new phone processors, unless we don't want to continue to sell our phones in those countries.
You can imagine if this happens, how much labor will it cost to replace the mobile phone processor in the future, and then what is the use of the recycled mobile phone processor?
In the end, don't those recycled mobile phone processors have to be destroyed? And how much of a blow that will take a toll on our brand image......"
Hearing Lin Chen point out all kinds of insidious and dirty things in chip foundry, all the senior executives on the scene were all cold.
At this time, they were shocked to realize that the chip foundry could still deceive people like this, although this is a bit unauthentic, and it will also make the chip foundry notorious.
But as long as there are enough interests, it is really possible for chip foundries such as TSMC to do such a thing.
So in the end, it is still a sentence, if there are enough short-term interests and long-term interests as a guarantee, then why not TSMC directly pit Shuguang Technology?!
At this time, Lin Chen continued to say in the process of a chill behind the senior executives on the scene:
"As for spending $25 billion to develop semiconductor production equipment and acquiring domestic and foreign semiconductor equipment companies, there is no need to worry about the things that will delay the company's development.
Because of this $25 billion, I am not prepared to spend so much money from my current profit income to engage in semiconductor equipment research and development and acquire domestic and foreign semiconductor equipment companies.
After all, let's not talk about anything else, we still owe the bank a loan of 30 billion summer yuan, so let's pay off the loan first and then try to do something else. ”
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the people at the scene looked at Lin Chen in amazement.
Their focus is not on paying off the $30 billion loan. (End of chapter)
