Chapter 50: A child carrying a gun has minimal lethality!
The meeting was over, and the bosses of various companies gathered around Fu Daobin to learn about the next work start plan, because it was an awkward period right now, as the Chinese New Year was approaching.
"These bastards deliberately don't want us to celebrate the New Year. They're blocking us at this critical juncture and want to torture us to death!" A sudden sigh came from the crowd, causing others to curse as well.
"That's right! They did this on purpose just before the holidays!"
"If you ask me, we have to fight back against these inhuman creatures! Otherwise, we won't be able to swallow this!"
"Fight back? How could it be so easy? If we had the ability to fight back now, would we have ended up like this? Brother Gao's factory just ordered an EUV machine from AS, and now they're not shipping it. They've unilaterally breached the contract and haven't even refunded the deposit!"
"What a bunch of bandits!"
Originally, everyone was happy about the government's support for them, but now, when they think about being suppressed by these foreign companies, they feel a nameless anger in their hearts that they cannot vent .
They know that if they have backward technology, they will always be at the mercy of others and their means of production will be blocked. This is the first time they have encountered this, but what about the second and third time?
Will I become numb?
Just when everyone was feeling frustrated, they heard Luo Yao's firm voice: "The technology we lack now will be available in the future."
After everyone looked at him, they recognized that he was the very smart Huaji guy. Many of them had dealt with Luo Yao in their own factories and had seen how powerful he was.
"Little brother, you are right, but I don't know how long we have to wait!"
"Brother, you are indeed smart, but the gap in technological level is too big. It is too difficult for us to catch up!"
"We started 20 years later than others. It's not easy to catch up!"
"Alas, if possible, I really want to see the day when we can independently manufacture lithography machines, but I don't know if there will be a chance!"
"Brother, me too. I don't know if I can wait for that day."
The whole group of people felt aggrieved.
I want to catch up with others but I don’t have the ability, and now people are cutting off our materials and equipment. It’s so fucking pathetic!
Luo Yao was uncharacteristically silent at this moment.
Luo Yao's extremely high IQ made him realize that it was impossible to communicate with them now.
Because they already have an inherent impression in their minds, that is, Chinese technology is not up to standard.
If he tells them at this time that they will soon have lithography machines, others will definitely think he is crazy.
The only way is for the official to come up with the real thing.
After the meeting, Fu Daobin looked at Luo Yao, who was frowning slightly, and his heart skipped a beat. He wondered what big move the other party was going to make next?
Sure enough, the next second he saw Luo Yao walking towards him.
"If everyone maintains the status quo, the domestic chip industry will not see major changes."
Fu Daobin actually enjoys communicating with Luo Yao. He feels that although Luo Yao's emotional intelligence is sometimes a bit low, the opinions that pop up from time to time can stimulate him to come up with new ideas.
"Why? We now have the two most critical technologies, and with the support of the existing technical team, we will be able to break through the encirclement soon. Isn't this a major change in the situation?" Fu Daobin waited curiously for Luo Yao to continue.
"It's simple. We have the tools now, but we don't know how to use them. It's like a child carrying an MG4 machine gun. It looks impressive, but its lethality is minimal!"
"Because a child's concept of guns is limited to the toy pistols he has touched, he doesn't know other uses for guns, let alone think about how to use the gun in his hand to get the most benefit."
Comparing the old guys in the semiconductor industry with kids?
Luo Yao's metaphor is really a bit like shrimp and pig heart.
but……
Fu Daobin did not refute Luo Yao's words. He thought about what Luo Yao said and gradually understood the key points.
"You mean we lack the strength to compete with other high-end chips."
Luo Yao nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Fu Daobin was not too stupid, and it would be easy to communicate with him!
"The products we sell are actually labeled as 'high quality and low price'. Over time, factories will also follow this route."
"Because this route doesn't require much effort or thinking, it only requires manpower and machinery, the initial cost is low, and with high sales volume, you can make a lot of money."
Luo Yao didn't like things that didn't require thinking, but in this case, he felt it was understandable.
When the overall environment lags behind others, in order to seek food and clothing, the only way out is to take a path that others look down upon.
Just like his parents, in order to support him and Luo Zhu, they had to borrow money and open a restaurant.
His father is not good at cooking, but he still helps his mother because the couple knows that if they don’t keep the restaurant going, the whole family will have to starve.
"We need to fight a protracted war with others, not just temporarily avoid being surrounded by others."
“If we don’t change our mindset, even with Pangu EDA and lithography machines, our chip ecosystem will remain the same as before.”
“The biggest change may be the ability to produce chips without being controlled by others.”
"But the high-end market will always belong to others, and we will never be able to shake off the label of 'high quality and low price'."
"You might think there's nothing wrong with 'good quality and low price,' but what if you're caught in a price-cutting frenzy?"
Low price trend?
Fu Daobin's expression changed slightly. He stared at Luo Yao and asked, "So what strategies do we have to break through now?"
"It's very simple and can be summed up in 12 words."
"I have what others don't, I am better than others, I change when others are better."
"To put it in more detail, it's about finding the differences between us and others and then breaking them down."
"First, we should support the chip design industry, especially in the fields of quantum and AI, where other foreign companies are relatively weak. In these two fields, everyone is almost at the same starting line, so we can increase our support."
"Second, we must promote the integration of the semiconductor industry. We must complete what other countries haven't accomplished. In the current chip industry, everyone is doing their own thing. If there is a problem in one link, all the links above and below will be affected. If we have a complete semiconductor industry, the situation will be very different."
"Third, we should expand into digital device businesses such as smartphones, new energy vehicles, and smart furniture. Chip production should be more diversified, rather than focusing on just one business. When demand for a particular business reaches its peak, it would be too late to expand into other areas."
"Fourth, improve the treatment of technical personnel and cultivate a large number of local talents."
"If we can do well in these four areas, we can shake off the label of 'high quality and low price'."
After Luo Yao finished speaking in one breath, Fu Daobin carefully wrote it down and then reported it to his leader.
After receiving the message, the leader noticed that Fu Daobin had written at the end, "This set of suggestions was proposed by Luo Yao. I hope you will consider it." He then hurriedly reported it up the chain of command.
The news reached the capital, and the people from the Science and Technology Group took the lead and convened leaders and experts from the Economic Group and the Development and Reform Group to begin discussing Luo Yao's plan.
"This plan is well-implemented. If it can be completed, it will truly be a breakthrough and will also allow us to embark on the path of high-end manufacturing."
"The plan's designers clearly want to turn the 'card' technology into a 'killer weapon'!"
"To be honest, this is pretty much the same as what the leader said last time!"
"Really? What kind of genius is this? He actually guessed the leader's thoughts."
"The designer? The young man who designed Pangu EDA."
"No way, I remember he was only 16!"
"He's only 16 years old, but he has an IQ of over 200! We must not underestimate him."
"Now that you mention it, I really want him to work in our group."
"Come on, he joined Huaji because it could provide him with the research conditions he wanted. Do you think he's willing to sit in an office like you every day?"
With Luo Yao's design plan, the meeting progressed very quickly. After the experts added their opinions on the plan, the technology team directly reported it to the elegant man.
The refined
"You know what? Ever since Suzaku showed up, our chip team has become much more harmonious. We no longer argue every day and are happy every day."
The elegant man smiled and said, "We all have a goal to strive for, so why are we arguing?"
"Have you ever heard the saying 'A poor couple has many sorrows'? When a couple is having a hard time, it's inevitable that they'll feel angry everywhere. If this is the case for a married couple, what about a team?"
"We will capitalize on this momentum and increase our investment! We must carve out our own path."
"yes!"
the next day.
Fu Daobin was talking to Luo Yao about lithography machines when his cell phone suddenly rang.
When he saw the incoming call, he immediately paused his conversation with Luo Yao and ran out to answer it. After he hung up, he went back to Luo Yao and said, "The higher-ups have decided to cooperate with Huaji and plan to build our own chip foundry."
"A foundry includes wafer production, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing?" Luo Yao looked at Fu Daobin with a hint of anticipation in his heart.
With official cooperation, it will definitely be the largest chip manufacturing factory in China!
If possible, it can also replace shady foundries like JSOC.
"You guessed it right. The foundry we are going to build this time will indeed cover the entire process ."
"This can be seen from foreign chip factories, because the production process requirements for each link of the chip are extremely strict. So far, no one has been able to handle them all."
"But with the Pangu EDA software and lithography technology you provided, we can make up for the shortcomings of our chip production line."
"So, compared to others, we have the capability to build a chip manufacturing plant covering the entire industry chain!"
Luo Yao's eyes lit up with anticipation. He asked, "Have you chosen the address?"
Fu Daobin suddenly became hesitant to speak.
