"With a 65% yield rate, who will pay?"

After Chen Heyu got the news, he couldn't help but scoff.

After seven months of development, Shanhai Microelectronics' 10-nanometer chip production process has replaced some imported equipment and materials, and the yield rate has increased again, from 72% to 84%.

With the same foundry quotation, the qualified chips manufactured by Shanhai Microelectric Energy are 19% more, almost nearly one-fifth.

It can be said that the 10nm process of Wanji and Intel Electronics is not competitive.

However, within the company, he still sent an all-staff email to explain the increasingly fierce competitive pressure and motivate the chip engineers in the R&D center to continue to work hard and move forward in the direction of 7nm.

The employees know very well that their generous monthly salary and generous annual bonus come from Shanhai Microelectronics, and they have been controlling the world's most advanced chip technology.

Once you fall behind and lose your dominant position, you will no longer have this kind of pomp.

Who can handle this?

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, no one wants to shrink the welfare significantly, so they are naturally full of strength and are ready to show their strength in the field of 7 nanometers.

In particular, the arrival of the first batch of EUV lithography machines from Ames has added a bit of confidence.

The NXE 3350B, the third generation of AMES' EUV lithography machine, offers significant improvements in EUV technology, enabling higher resolution and faster production speeds, enabling higher density and smaller chip designs.

What's more, it supports 7nm chip manufacturing!

In the opinion of Bernard, the chairman of Amsl, as long as the Ministry of Commerce of the United States does not speak, is it not fragrant for him to make money, so why bother to find trouble with Shanhai Microelectronics?

So between the two companies, the previous suspicions were abandoned and they returned to the honeymoon period.

Along with the 10 NXE 3350Bs that arrived in Shanghai, there is also the installation and commissioning team of AMES, which will help Shanhai Microelectronics to familiarize itself with the maintenance and use of the new equipment as soon as possible.

Carry out the initial run-in!

Each NXE 3350B costs up to 70 million euros, which translates to 510 million Chinese dollars!

Chen Heyu purchased a total of 20 units, which is equivalent to investing another 10.22 billion yuan in lithography equipment!

"When will the domestic lithography machine be available? I can also spend less money. ”

He muttered to himself.

It's a pity that the R&D and manufacturing of lithography machines involve a variety of core technologies, and even if he has a system, he can only do it step by step.

He Tingbo reported last month that the R&D center has made breakthroughs in laser systems, objective lens systems and workbenches, but when it comes to production, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done.

A sophisticated EUV lithography machine consisting of more than 100,000 components and involving more than 5,000 suppliers worldwide.

Of course, not all parts have exclusive technical support, at least more than 70% of electronic components can find alternative options in China.

At present, Shanhai Microelectronics is focusing on the remaining 30% of spare parts, and slowly improving supply chain management through acquisition, self-research and other means.

Finally, we can start to enter the production and manufacturing stage, so as to embark on the road of localization of the semiconductor industry, "de-neonization", "de-beauty", "de-windmilling", so as not to be stuck in the future.

……

"Old Mo, how long will it take to get to Hangzhou?"

Chen Heyu looked up and asked, looking at the highway outside the window, the car was still galloping, and there were verdant plants on both sides.

"Boss, it's about half an hour."

Ding Mo used Moss Ai glasses to call up the itinerary information and give an accurate reply.

"Go directly to the Yi headquarters."

Chen Heyu commanded.

"Well, I know."

Ding Mo nodded and said.

After getting the authorization of Moss AI Games 3.0, a year passed in a flash, and Ding Sanshi spent 3 billion yuan to take the lead in creating a VR game for cultivating immortals - "Journey of Piao".

Players can experience the most authentic exercises, elixirs, magic weapons, ascension, thunder tribulation, fairyland, etc. in the game world, and even experience the happiness of becoming stronger a little bit in combination with the cultivation level.

In order to build momentum for the release of the game, Ding Sanshi specially invited him to participate in the new product launch conference.

After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Heyu agreed.

On the one hand, we will look at the level of game production in the past, and on the other hand, I will participate in the 3rd Internet Conference.

Originally, he didn't want to come, but Meng Lao personally called to explain: "Whether it is Future Technology or Shanhai Microelectronics, it is the most capable technology company in Huaguo, if you don't come, what is the meaning of this exchange meeting?" ”

Alas!

The big guy spoke, and he had no choice but to put down his work for the time being, and drove to Woo Town with Lao Mo.

After half ringing.

A blue Mulsanne drove into the Binjiang area, followed by two BMW SUVs, and headed along the e-commerce road.

After a while, the headquarters building of Xiangyi gradually came into view.

The exterior is simple and atmospheric, the building is composed of high-rise and low-rise buildings, the façade uses glass curtain walls, and the sky corridor between the buildings connects the entire park together, which looks full of modern and technological sense.

As soon as the car drove to the main entrance, I saw two middle-aged men wearing black-rimmed glasses, standing on the side of the road in suits, and there were seven or eight staff members beside them.

One of them is Ding Sanshi, the head of Xiang Yi, and the other looks a little strange, and Chen Heyu is not familiar with it.

Forthwith.

He pushed the door and walked down, grabbed the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ding, congratulations, congratulations, I wish you a great sale of the game in advance!" ”

He can take a 30% commission, and the higher the other party earns, the more hilarious he is!

"Mr. Chen, please, half an hour after the press conference, I will take you to visit the headquarters of Xiangyi first.

If I'm not mistaken, it's the first time Mr. Chen has come, right? ”

Ding Sanshi was extremely enthusiastic, after all, he and Zhang Chaoyang were good friends, friends of friends, and friends.

He and Chen Heyu have also drunk a few times in private, and they are very familiar with each other.

During the Spring Festival last year, Ding Sanshi also gave Chen Heyu two black pigs, which was also the main reason why Chen Heyu was willing to attend the promotion meeting of Xiangyi Games.

The group walked and chatted, and the park was full of green trees and flowers.

Accompanied by Ding Sanshi, he walked all the way through the gym, café and library before arriving at the headquarters building and taking the elevator into a large and bright conference hall.

Hundreds of square meters, with a stage and hundreds of audience seats.

Obviously, this is a large event room for Yiyi on weekdays, but today it has been changed to the scene of the press conference.

The audience was filled with game media reporters, critics, analysts, game streamers and player representatives, as well as top management and development team members of Xiangyi Games.

Chen Heyu's seat was arranged in the center of the first row, just to the left of Ding Sanshi.

"Who is this man? It's not like a high-level executive, why do you sit next to Mr. Ding? ”

"You're so blind! That's Chen Heyu, the big boss of Future Technology! ”

"It seems that the development tools used in this game are the products of Mr. Chen's company?"

"Be confident and remove the likeness! In the future, all VR games will have to pay 30% of the revenue to Future Technology. ”

"Holy! Isn't that the same as Apple's confectionery, which alone has to earn tens of billions of dollars a year? ”

"It's not that simple, the global sales of the Dream game pod are only 26 million units, and the number of players is still too small compared to mobile devices."

Some anchors are discussing in a whisper.

From one to ten o'clock, the middle-aged man next to Ding Sanshi pushed his glasses, Shi Shiran got up and walked to the center of the stage, faced the audience, and greeted with a smile: "Distinguished guests, players and friends, hello everyone!"

Thank you for coming to the press conference, I am your old friend, the person in charge of Xiangyi Games - Ding Maofeng!

Today, I would like to introduce to you the company's first VR immortal cultivation game "Piao Miao Journey"! ”

Chen Heyu bowed slightly, it turned out that this person was actually the product director of "Fantasy Journey to the West" and "Journey to the West", and he was also the co-president of Xiangyi.

However, when he was studying, he didn't play either of these games, so he didn't feel anything.

It's some hardcore players, with a look of adoration in their eyes.

Fantasy Journey to the West has been around for 13 years, with 310 million registered users, a total of 472 sets of paid servers, and the highest number of simultaneous online users is as high as 2.71 million, breaking the record of the game industry in Dahua that year.

Before Chen Heyu was reborn, this game was still being played, which shows its longevity.

"Journey of Piaomiao is a VR game with the theme of Xianxia Xiuzhen, produced by Moss AI Games 3.0 engine, with beautiful graphics, grand world view, and rich and diverse gameplay, committed to creating an immersive game experience for players.

It can only run on the Dream game pod, and I believe that friends who have used it will not be unfamiliar with it......"

Ding Maofeng was full of confidence and spoke eloquently.

Xiangyi invested a year in this game, a lot of R&D manpower and funds, in order to publicize and promote, as early as two months ago, Xiangyi used S-level resources to warm up through various channels.

Portal pop-ups, game UP main advertorials, reservation to purchase lucky draws, subway window advertising, etc., just seek to be a hit!

Ding Maofeng's speech was very infectious, depicting a thrilling world of Xiuzhen, covering a variety of novel gameplay.

In other words, this game can satisfy all the fantasies that players have about the world of cultivating immortals.

"Mr. Ding, what is its sales price?"

The reporter of the tourist starry sky seized the gap and took the initiative to ask questions.

There is only one feature of Dream Game Pod games, and that is - expensive!

The domestic version of the world's first VR game "Mysterious Recovery" was sold for as much as 6,888 Chinese dollars, and the overseas market once reached a price of 10,000 US dollars.

A proper rich man's game!

To run the equipment + game software, it will cost 40,000 Chinese dollars, which is still the first-hand price.

With the Lucheng Super Factory, after two large-scale recruitments and three production capacity increases, the secondary market price of the Dream game cabin was knocked down.

Some game lovers, gritting their teeth can also get on the bus!

This group of people has been in the world of Mystic Resurgence for more than a year, and after the novelty wears off, it is natural that they want to try new games.

"Journey of Piao" is the best choice!

Therefore, price has become the most concerned topic for game media, forums, and players.

"The domestic price is 6888 yuan, and the overseas market is 1399 yuan!"

When Ding Maofeng heard this, he calmly said the price.

"Wow! It's so expensive! ”

"It's actually the same price as "Mysterious Recovery", is it because future technology is meddling and they are not allowed to disrupt the price system?"

"I can buy the latest Apple Confectionery phone, I really can't afford to play it!"

“……”

The audience was in an uproar, the price was much higher than they expected, and players with low incomes had to save money for two months to afford it.

Ding Maofeng vaguely heard the discussion below, smiled lightly, and didn't care.

Limited by the number of owners of the Dream game pod, "Ethereal Journey" is destined to take the high-end route, otherwise it will be difficult to recover the production cost in a short time.

In order to create those complex scenes of the Sea of Unjust Souls, Heavenly Sound City, Phantom Star Array, Phantom God Temple, and Heavenly Court Star Star Palace, and perfectly present a world of cultivating immortals, Xiang Yi Ke spent 3 billion yuan in real money.

If you only sell at the price of 98, 198 or 398, playing the volume mode, it is the act of looking for death.

"I know what players want and expect from high-quality games, so the team has gone all out and invested a lot of R&D resources and energy into polishing Journey of Piao.

The production cost alone exceeded 3 billion Chinese dollars, and it is also a large presence in the global game industry, second only to "Destiny 2".

Rest assured, its pricing and quality are absolutely in line with it, and it will not disappoint your fellow players. ”

Ding Maofeng explained with a smile.

And then.

He randomly selected 10 lucky users to experience the game on stage, and of course, after the experience, he would give them a copy of the game software of "Journey of Piao".

"Mr. Chen, why don't you try?"

Ding Sanshi asked.

"No, I'll take two with me when I turn around and leave."

Chen Heyu said unceremoniously.

He played "Mysterious Recovery" for a while, but due to his busy daily work, he had long since abandoned travel, and "Journey of Piaomiao" was just a little more fresh for him.

"No problem."

Ding Sanshi smiled and turned to look at the stage.

The audience who won the experience quota was excited, took over the Dream game pod of the staff and skillfully launched the game.

They are also loyal users of the Dream game cabin, and they are no strangers to the operation, Ma Yo completes the face pinching setting, controls the game characters with brain wave signals, and quickly completes the experience of the novice village.

Then, the cultivators outside the starry sky used the teleportation array to take them away from the earth.

After a violent shaking, the players came to the first stop of the extraterritorial starry sky, the Fengyuan Star, and embarked on the road of cultivating immortals.

The exquisite high-definition game graphics and the beautiful extraterritorial starry sky made them instantly immersed.

About half an hour later, under the urging of the staff, these old players reluctantly put down the Dream game cabin.

It is not difficult to see from everyone's expressions that this game has successfully captured the hearts of players.

For holographic hyper-realistic VR games, there are not many people who can resist at all.

"Mr. Chen, at noon, I arranged a table of Huizhou cuisine in a nearby hotel, I must appreciate the light, let me do my best as a landlord.

Otherwise, let Lao Zhang know that when you pass by Hangzhou, I didn't even invite you to lunch, and you will definitely bury me and pick the door. ”

Ding Sanshi warmly invited, and did not forget to move out of Zhang Chaoyang.

"Mr. Ding is polite, then I'll bother."

Chen Heyu smiled and replied.

The group got into the car, drove away from the headquarters of Xiangyi, and drove towards the luxury restaurant not far away.

Fueled by the media, the news of the launch of "Ethereal Journey" instantly exploded the entire network, and players waited for the release time to come.

The other side.

A few days after Penguin Games, the same overwhelming publicity was launched, and "CrossFire VR Edition" will be released on November 28.

At the same time.

Ren Tiantang launched the VR special edition of "Mario Bros.", claiming to let users experience the joy of entering the three-dimensional animation world;

Yidian will release "Need for Speed" in December, driving the world's most luxurious sports car directly in the game world;

Kakongpu mainly promotes his own "Resident Evil" VR game of the same name, and feels the tension of fighting monsters;

Baiweil is about to release the VR version of "Star Wars", a big IP that has swept the world and has a large number of fans in the North Berry Continent market;

……

For a while, the number of games on the Dream gaming platform skyrocketed, and then it was just the first batch of new games.

You must know that Future Technology has signed more than 60 game producers around the world, and in the spring of 2017, more games will be launched one after another.

Seeing this, more and more media have named 2016 as the "first year of VR games"!

What they don't know is that the disruption of the game industry has begun!

Good night sir
