After the global GDP ranking came out in 1995, country M panicked.

China's economy is getting closer and closer to country M, and it is likely to surpass country M in two or three years.

However, now, for country M, the biggest trouble is that China has seized the development of the Internet, computer, communication and semiconductor industries, and the enterprises of country M cannot compete!

Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Intel, Oracle and other companies have a much lower market share than Wujiang Group.

Even if they use disgraceful means, they still can't curb the rapid development of Wujiang Group.

On the contrary, it has further led to the backwardness of the scientific and technological circles of country M.

So, for now, country M is trying to find a way to regain its advantage in the field of science and technology.

Recently, country M has voted through Congress to allocate $25 billion to support technology companies in country M on a large scale, among which the chip industry is particularly important.

Chips are related to the development of many technological products, and advanced chips can ensure the excellent performance of products and make them have strong competitiveness.

It is precisely because country M lost to the Wujiang Group in chips that many of its technology products, such as computers, game consoles, mobile phones, MP3s, network equipment, etc., are not competitive.

In addition, Wujiang Group has not been fighting alone, but has supported a large number of domestic companies to develop together, forming a trend of encirclement and suppression of enterprises in country M.

Finally, there is China's huge demographic dividend, which is not at all comparable to the technology enterprises of country M.

Even now, China is still enjoying a huge demographic dividend.

And China's economy is so good, which has also led to capital from all over the world no longer favoring country M, but going to China one after another. Developing in China, it is clear that the growth potential is greater and the profits are higher!

In the past 11 years since the establishment of Wujiang Group, at least 500 billion US dollars of international capital has poured into China, especially in recent years, the scale of international capital invested in China has been very huge.

After all, country M has a very deep foundation, and in addition, country M and Western countries wear the same pants, and can use or introduce advanced technology or equipment from other countries. However, China is unable to import advanced technology and equipment from abroad because of various agreements.

However, once the high-tech industry of country M is still unable to catch up with China in a short period of time.

Then, it is very likely that the GDP of country M will plummet.

As we all know, the GDP of country M can be summed up as high consumption, high labor and high expectations.

In country M, the tertiary industry service industry accounts for 80% of the GDP, which plays a vital role in the economic system of country M. In contrast, agriculture accounts for less than 1% of the economy in country M, and industry accounts for about 19% of GDP in country M.

It is because of high income and high consumption that country M supports its huge GDP.

However, once country M's science and technology fails, can it still afford a high income?

Can you still spend high without a high income?

The GDP of country M may show a cliff-like plummet!

China's economic structure is obviously more reasonable, although the proportion of the tertiary industry is also very high, but China is the only country in the world with a complete industrial system, and is still a manufacturing power, is transforming into a manufacturing power, of which, the manufacturing industry accounts for a very large proportion in China.

And the future must belong to the manufacturing power with innovative ability.

……

……

At this time, many technology companies in country M received support from the government and obtained low-interest or even interest-free loans.

However, if you want to make a chip, you must first build a lithography machine!

More than a decade has passed, but there has been no breakthrough in lithography machine technology. It can be said that it is still spinning in place.

If the chip industry in country M wants to surpass China, it can only increase investment in the field of lithography machines.

Nowadays, there are only three lithography machines on the market: ASML, Nikon, and Canon.

However, ASML is clearly better controlled by country M capital than Japan's Nikon and Canon.

rB is too fierce to handle.

Recently, ASML's stock price has begun to skyrocket, and major technology companies or investment institutions in country M are buying ASML shares openly and secretly.

The intention of country M to support ASML has become very obvious.

In addition, there are many companies in the semiconductor industry chain that have been invested.

It's just that these companies are only developing dry lithography machines and related chip production equipment.

Japan's Canon and Nikon are certainly not far behind, and since January 1996, the United States and Japan have been caught in a dry lithography machine race!

Just when the United States and Japan are fierce every day, Wujiang Microelectronics has produced a large number of chips using immersion lithography machines, and many of Wujiang Group's products have directly entered the mass production stage, including Pangu supercomputer, Nuwa server, Shenzhou computer, ibook notebook, PHS, iPhone (support cdma and GSM, dual SIM dual standby), ipod, super VCD, Tomahawk game console, Gameboy, Zeiss medical equipment, Zeiss camera, router, Switches, base station RF chips, sensors, automotive chips, aerospace chips, industrial chips, digital video processing chips, etc.

Zhao Ye plans to make a big move, so many products that use advanced chips are launched on the market, I am afraid that it will directly confuse competitors and catch them off guard!

From January to the end of March 1996, the investment in the entire global semiconductor industry increased by 185.6% over last year.

Zhao Ye smiled and said nothing, making people quietly sell ASML's shares and cash out at a high price.

In addition, he had people quietly plan to short the shares of their competitors.

April 1st, April Fool's Day in the Western World.

Many of the products of Wujiang Group are all listed.

Not surprisingly, the world was shocked!!

The biggest feature of these products is the use of more advanced chips, such as the "Kirin Pentium 4" CPU, the main frequency is up to 3.06GHz, and the core is composed of 34 million transistors, while at the same time, Intel's most advanced chips use 0.35 micron process technology, and the core is only composed of 3.3 million transistors.

There is a 10-fold gap in the number of transistors, how can this be competitive?

In the previous life, in 2004, TSMC and ASML jointly developed the world's first immersion lithography machine, "Kirin Pentium 4", which was eight or nine years ahead of Intel.

In addition, "Kirin Pentium 4" has also developed many new technologies to make it more powerful, especially Zhao Ye's invention of Hyper-Threading (HT) technology, which can quickly run multiple computing applications at the same time, or provide more performance for individual software programs with multiple threads!

"Impossible! When pigs fly!!! ”

"How can the chips of the Wujiang Group be so powerful?!!!"

"Fake, it must be fake, it's too unreasonable, with the current lithography machine technology, it can't produce such an advanced chip at all!!"

On April 1st, the competitors of Wujiang Group were all stunned and felt incredulous.

None of this is in line with Moore's Law.

The atmosphere in the entire Intel company was extremely depressed, and the faces of the management were full of anxiety.

If the news announced by Wujiang Group is true, then Intel will fall into the abyss!

10 times the data crush!

Intel's most advanced chips may face a crisis of unsalable.

After a short time, senior management went to the conference room for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

On the same day, the technology stocks of country M fluctuated, and the stock price plummeted, which in turn triggered a plunge in global technology stocks.

Wujiang Group is short, and the income is huge, not to mention two or three billion US dollars.

Among the technology stocks, only the borderless portal website rose against the wind, and the stock price skyrocketed, with a market value of more than 150 billion US dollars, which greatly stimulated the small hearts of all Internet practitioners!

Many people think that Wujiang Group is so awesome, and the subsidiary Wujiang Portal will definitely take off!

In this way, it is no wonder that the stock price does not rise.

……

In the morning, as soon as the news came out, people immediately poured into the Wujiang flagship store and Wujiang supermarket, and then when they saw the physical goods with their own eyes, they immediately exclaimed.

It turned out that the Wujiang Group did not tell lies, everything was true.

"Oh God, that's true, the chips of the Wujiang Group are really too powerful, and their company's chips are simply not of the same era compared to other brands of chips!!"

"The chips of Wujiang Group, I blow them up, and the performance is against the sky, more than ten times that of other chips! Playing large-scale games with the latest Shenzhou computer is not stuck at all, and it is extremely smooth! Moreover, I run a lot of software at the same time without getting stuck, which is amazing! ”

"Oh my God, so many products of Wujiang Group use advanced chips, I'm afraid this is going to dominate the entire market, right?"

"I'm obedient, the Pangu supercomputer is the most hanging! The computing power of the most advanced Cray supercomputer in country M is less than one-hundredth of the computing power of the Pangu supercomputer!! ”

", Wujiang Group is awesome!! Raise the prestige of our country! Foreigners are dumbfounded now, I didn't expect the chips of Wujiang Group to be so powerful, and even the products that make other products far ahead of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea! ”

"As expected, many of the products of the Wujiang Group will take the world by storm!!"

“……”

At this moment, the competitors of Wujiang Group are no longer lucky, and the company is full of grief and grief, and can't help but feel deep powerlessness and despair.

Since April 1996, countless media have said that "the world has entered the era of borderlessness"!!

Most of the products of the Borderless Group have swept the world and have been frantically snapped up by consumers.

Fortunately, each product is well stocked, otherwise it is very likely to sell out in a short period of time.

In April alone, Wujiang Group set an unprecedented revenue record of $91.2 billion!

Some popular consumer goods, such as Shenzhou Computer, ibook, ipod, PHS, iPhone, Tomahawk, Gameboy, electronic pet, Zeiss camera, super VCD and other products, not only sold well, but also drove sales of Wujiang flagship store, Wujiang supermarket, Alibaba, Amazon and Taobao.

Whether it is an offline physical store or an online e-commerce website, as long as consumers come, they generally do not buy only one product.

With such a high revenue, the retail sales of department stores also account for a large proportion.

This time, due to the large number of people queuing up to shop offline, more and more consumers are shopping online, especially in China, under the layout of Wujiang Group, the logistics speed is very fast, under normal circumstances, you can receive express delivery in about a week, coupled with people's trust in Wujiang Group, so there are many users who choose to shop online, and China's e-commerce industry has developed rapidly. People are increasingly recognizing e-commerce and Wujiang Group, which are very important.

……

Zhao Ye thought of the "crazy April" and still sighed.

The Wujiang Group made a lot of money, stunned the world, and the prestige of the Wujiang Group became even louder.

By May, sales of Borderless Group's products had declined, but it was still shocking, because competitors simply couldn't come up with products that could compete with them in a short period of time.

Country M.

Representatives or founders of executives from Nikon, Canon, Intel, AMD, Microsoft, IBM, TSMC, Motorola, Broadcom, Micron, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments, ASML and other companies gathered together to study countermeasures.

At this time, Nikon's representative Kojiro Kono took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, the situation is already obvious, we have all been deceived, Wujiang Microelectronics Company must have been secretly developing lithography machine technology, and made a breakthrough last year, so it can make more advanced chips!" As long as our dry lithography machine technology can also make a breakthrough, we will be able to compete with Wujiang Group! ”

Canon representative Toshishi Ando immediately chimed in: "Kojiro Kono is right, the top priority at the moment is to invest in the development of dry lithography machines, and I believe that Canon will be the first company to make technological breakthroughs!! ”

Not to be outdone, the new CEO of ASML, Kyle Rob, immediately said that ASML also has great achievements in dry lithography machines, which are not inferior to Nikon and Canon, and you can pay attention to ASML.

As the representatives of the three lithography machine companies spoke, others expressed their support.

At present, no company has thought of immersion lithography machine, and they all think that Wujiang Microelectronics' dry lithography machine technology has made a breakthrough.

Wujiang Microelectronics chose to make a fortune in silence, and did not stand up to the outside world to announce that it had developed an immersion lithography machine.

Just let your competitors move on the wrong path.

In their previous life, they had been researching until 2004 and had not seen much success.

Of course, even if they now know that Boundless Microelectronics uses an immersion lithography machine, so what, can they catch up in a short time?

Dawning Lithography Company, a subsidiary of Wujiang Microelectronics, began to develop immersion lithography machines in 1989 and did not succeed until 1995. It took six or seven years. Even if Nikon, Canon, and ASML want to catch up, it will take time!

All companies, including Intel, know that it is almost impossible for lithography technology to surpass Boundless Microelectronics in a short period of time.

Therefore, they fought against the Borderless Group on the one hand, and cooperated with the Borderless Group on the other.

Zhang Rujing, CEO of Wujiang Microelectronics, was busy at this time.

Countless chip companies have sought cooperation with Wujiang Microelectronics. In the chip foundry market, it took only a short time to snatch users from TSMC and Intel, and so far, it has occupied more than 75% of the market share.

In fact, there are many companies in Europe and the United States that do not want to spend money on research and development of chips, and feel that "it is better to buy than to make", so they are more inclined to cooperate with Loongson Design Company.

Towards the end of the evening, a large area of fiery clouds appeared in the sky, like a picture of a sea of fire.

Zhao Ye enjoyed the beautiful scenery for a while, then turned his head and chatted with Zhang Rujing.

Zhang Rujing said: "According to the information we have received, ASML, Nikon and Canon are still investing a lot of R&D funds in dry lithography machines. It seems that the heart of the Yellow River will not die! ”

Zhao Ye can understand the approach of these three lithography machine companies, after all, they have invested a lot of money in dry lithography machines, and if they want to turn around and develop immersion lithography machines at this time, they will not agree, otherwise, the previous investment will be all wasted.

"Let's make a fortune quietly!" Zhao Ye smiled and gloated, "To be honest, watching them burn money like crazy on the wrong path, I don't feel a little dark in my heart, and I don't want to wake them up at all." ”

Zhang Rujing nodded with a smile, and then said: "Dong Zhao, I found that the technology is too far ahead and troublesome, there is news in the past two days, Europe and the United States and other countries may conduct anti-monopoly investigations on the chips we produce, and perhaps let us disclose the technical ...... of the immersion lithography machine."

When Zhao Ye heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said in a bad tone: "These damn guys, they can't beat us in the market, so they're going to start playing conspiracy!" ”

"If you want us to disclose the technology of immersion lithography machines, don't even think about it!"

Zhao Ye has a calm face, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, no matter what means they play, the Wujiang Group will not give in.
