Chapter 1370 Default Cooperative Enterprise
In the 60s, in response to the country's slogan of vigorously developing the electronics industry, BJ Electronics Office established 15 radio component factories at one go. After more than 20 years of development, these factories also have their own ups and downs.

Among them, several units with better efficiency are BJ Radio Component Factory No. [-], No. [-] Factory, No. [-] Factory, and No. [-] Factory.

After learning that Duan Yun came to BJ, these factories took turns to invite Duan Yun to visit the factory, and received a very warm reception.

Before coming to BJ, the technicians of Tianyin Group's external technical team had already visited these manufacturers, and discussed with the technicians of these manufacturers to jointly study the cooperation plan.

Generally speaking, the technical strength of these IC manufacturers in BJ is lackluster. Among them, the best BJ wireless component factory No. 6 has only mastered the process technology of three inches and 70 microns, which is only equivalent to that of the United States in the [-]s. middle and late level.

Logically speaking, these electronic companies in the capital should enjoy unique advantages. After all, they are located in the political, economic and cultural center, and many leaders of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry also come from these companies. In the eyes of outsiders, the development of BJ's integrated circuits should be It is the fastest in the country.

However, this is not the case.

Within the planning system, community electronics factories cannot make decisions on what products they want to produce. They must go through layers of approval from higher authorities before they can produce. Therefore, they cannot adapt well to the development of the market economy.

Moreover, in the special era before the 80s, everything was based on the military first, and the development of the national economy was still placed in a secondary position. It is precisely because of this that many of these enterprises in BJ are military enterprises, and the focus is on serving national defense. building.

Civilian products and military products are completely different things. In the eyes of ordinary people, the quality of military products is much higher than that of civilian products. However, in terms of semiconductor integrated circuit products, this is not the case.

Under normal circumstances, products are divided into consumer grade, industrial grade and military grade. The difference between them is not in sex. On the contrary, in terms of performance, the consumer grade is the strongest, and the higher the general grade, (consumer grade is the lowest, military grade is the lowest). The highest) will be better for stability and adaptability to harsh environments, which means that industrial chips and military chips must be stable first.

Military chips are more durable and mature than civilian chips, and can operate stably in various extreme environments. In addition, civilian chips can be updated almost every year, but military chips cannot. It will take at least five or six years to be possible, and most In most cases, military equipment does not require particularly powerful chips.

Take the most advanced F22 fighter jet in the world as an example. F22 began to be manufactured in the 90s, using the latest processing chip made at 0.15 microns, and the processing power of this chip is comparable to that of later generations of smart phones. The difference is hundreds of times, but this does not affect the fact that F22 is the most advanced fighter in the world.

Therefore, these BJ electronics factories that have been serving the domestic military industry have not had an urgent need to upgrade product technology, because there is a unified purchase and sales channel, so there is no urgent market pressure, so that the development speed of these years is Slower and slower, being quickly overtaken by Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing and other manufacturers, and gradually marginalized in the civilian integrated circuit market.

For several days, Duan Yun visited these state-owned electronics factories of BJ, and had a general understanding of the technical strength and production capacity of these enterprises.

At present, BJ's integrated circuit industry is indeed not in a good mood, the technology is seriously backward, the production capacity is small, and the management is also poor. When Duan Yun visited several factories, he even found that some workers were still smoking in the integrated circuit production workshop. Tianyin Group is simply unimaginable.

In addition, there are several factories that are already on the verge of bankruptcy. The annual output value of a factory with hundreds of people cannot even reach 10. The morale of the workers is low, and the maintenance and maintenance of the production line equipment is not good. Few people go to work every day, and most of them just dawdle. There is no need to support this kind of factory, because there are too many areas that need to be improved. It is more appropriate to rebuild a factory.

So after this round of investigation, Duan Yun finally decided by default that the 738st, 5nd, [-]th and [-]th factories of BJ radio components, as well as the BJ[-] factory, should be the key technical cooperation enterprises of Tianyin Group.

In addition, after finishing the preliminary investigation, Duan Yun came to the Great Wall Computer Company again, and met Wang Zhi, the general manager of the Great Wall Computer Company.

This is already the second time Duan Yun has met Wang Zhi. The last time, the two went to Donglaishun to have a hot pot together, and they discussed cooperation matters.

At that time, Time Cloud's Tianyin chip factory had not been completed and put into production, so the two only agreed on a cooperation intention, but did not carry out substantive cooperation.

Today's Great Wall Computer is produced in BJ738 Factory, and the core components of Great Wall Computer are basically all imported goods. The CPU is the 8088 imitated by Japan's NEC, and the hard disk is from Japan's TEAC, produced by the state-owned Hangzhou Magnetic Recording Equipment Factory. Floppy drive control card, nine-pin EGA graphics card, 14-inch spherical display.

Because the core technology is controlled by others, Great Wall Computer can only buy these foreign parts at high prices. In the 70s, the 8080 chip produced by Intel was only 200 US dollars, and the 8088 chip used in the new PC was only 360 US dollars, but it was made for Great Wall Computer. The price of the 8088 chip imitated by Japan's NEC is as high as $750, which is obviously ridiculously high.

The 8088 chip is a three-micron process chip. With Tianyin Group's current technical strength, there is no problem in producing this kind of chip, and in terms of cost, it will be far lower than the price of 750 US dollars.

Therefore, Duan Yun wanted to replace Japan's NEC as the manufacturer of Great Wall Computer's CPU. Now that the time is right, Duan Yun and Wang Zhi want to finalize specific cooperation matters and replace Great Wall Computer with "Chinese chips."

"Manager Duan is here!" Seeing Duan Yun appearing at the door of his office, Wang Zhi immediately stood up and greeted him.

"President Wang, long time no see." Duan Yun stepped forward to shake his hand with a smile on his face.

"Manager Duan's business is getting bigger and bigger now. I can see you in the newspaper every day recently. I can manage the company so well. I really should learn from you..." Wang Zhi said with a smile.

Compared with the first meeting between the two, Duan Yun's reputation and status have indeed improved a lot. Not only from news newspapers, but also in some internal references of their Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, Duan Yun's reputation often appears. The information and news from Tianyin Group made Wang Zhi keenly realize that Duan Yun is no longer a simple private business owner, and sooner or later he will become a guest of the higher-level leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry...
