Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1392 Huge Sensation
"Okay, I'll help you with this matter later." Hearing that Duan Yun offered an intermediary fee of US$50, Wang Shi agreed without even thinking about it.

Although he felt that the salary of several million dollars a year was too expensive, after all, he did not pay for the money. Moreover, Tianyin Group is indeed a giant of domestic private companies. They have such strength and financial resources, how do they want to play? , that is completely Duan Yun's business, as long as the salary is high enough, he can help Duan Yun with anything.

There are indeed many headhunting companies in Hong Kong. As long as Wang Shi contacts those headhunting companies, he can obtain a large amount of information on candidates who meet the requirements. When the time comes, the coach will personally select the interview. For Wang Shi, he can handle this matter with a single phone call.

"Then I will trouble you." Duan Yun smiled slightly when he heard the words, got up and was about to leave.

"Mr. Duan, go slowly!" Seeing this, Wang Shi hurriedly sent Duan Yun out of the company.

After sending Duan Yun away, Wang Shi returned to the office and immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Hong Kong branch...

……

For several days, Duan Yun lived a peaceful life. Taking advantage of these few days, Duan Yun led the USB project team to start the next stage of research and development tasks.

At the same time, in the United States on the other side of the ocean, after the release of the new issue of "Scientific American", it immediately caused a huge sensation in the entire PC industry.

In fact, "Scientific American" magazine will publish several heavyweight articles in almost every issue, and every 3 to 5 months, it will release a very influential product, including the early Apple new computer, Nintendo The red and white machine, the Betamovie BMC-100 launched by Sony is the world's first consumer-grade portable video camera, and the first Windows system launched by Microsoft in 1985. These high-tech products have caused a huge sensation and influenced The technological development of an entire era.

The NAND flash memory chip developed by Duanyun Chip Factory also caused quite a stir, so that on the night of the magazine's release, many manufacturers called the "Scientific American" magazine. authenticity.

In fact, chip products are not commercialized, so they are far inferior to products like Nintendo game consoles and portable video recorders. Except for some industry experts, few people will pay attention to some seemingly rough and boring product data. .

But the main reason for this situation this time is that the products launched by the magazine "Scientific American" are not products produced by traditional multinational companies that people are familiar with, but come from an old and poor A backward country, which undoubtedly aroused the interest of many people, and made people seriously question this article.

In fact, "Scientific American" magazine is also well versed in the psychology of readers. On the cover of the main issue, they even used a five-star red flag as the background, and on the main title of the cover it read: A chip from Red China, For many Americans who are quite sensitive to red during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, such a cover and title seem unusual.

In the article introducing this chip, Huang Lingyi expounded the basic technical parameters and working principle of this NAND flash memory chip in a very professional way, and compared it with several mainstream flash memory chips in the world at present, which made people very happy. I can intuitively see the excellent performance of NAND flash memory chips, and it is precisely because of this that this article has attracted so much attention from the American technology community.

After these companies got the affirmation of the authenticity of the papers from the magazine, several of them immediately made a decision to go to China to visit the manufacturers and the real performance of this product.

As soon as Duan Yun came to work this morning, he was connected to several long-distance calls across the ocean, and they were all world-renowned companies, including Cisco Systems, Texas Instruments, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Dell.

These companies have only one purpose in calling Tianyin Group, and that is to come to China to visit the Tianyin chip factory in China.

Faced with this situation, Duan Yun naturally would not refuse anyone who came, and in fact this was the result he wanted.

It is an honor for Tianyin Group that these American multinational giants can come to China to visit a Chinese company, because compared with these companies, although Duan Yun is the fastest growing and most powerful private company in China, However, compared with those large companies that have been established for decades or hundreds of years and enjoy a very high reputation and influence in the world, Tianyin Group is just a small and unknown company.

Throughout the morning, Duan Yun received a total of 7 calls from American companies, and at noon, Sony Microelectronics Department of Japan also called, wanting to visit the country.

In fact, for Tianyin Chip Factory, the biggest competitor of the memory chips they produce is not the Americans, but the Japanese.

Throughout the 80s, the world's three largest semiconductor companies were all in a PC in Japan, and Japanese chips once accounted for 60% of the number, so that some Japanese politicians were blindly arrogant, thinking that Japan had come to fully challenge the United States. The whole world is wondering whether the United States will lag behind Japan in semiconductor technology.

However, this is not the case, because Japan's semiconductor industry is concentrated on chips with low content, while the world's high-end chip industry, such as computer processors and communication digital and signal processors, are all designed in the United States. They dropped the traditional memory business, handed over this market to the Japanese, and focused on making processors from then on. Therefore, the current memory market can be said to be dominated by Japanese semiconductor companies, and they are the absolute industry leaders.

In 1989, relying on the 80486 processor, Intel surpassed all Japanese semiconductor companies in one fell swoop and made the top deal in the semiconductor industry. Only then did the Japanese suddenly discover that the memory business at that time was just an abandoned child of Intel.

The reason why the NAND flash memory chips produced by Duanyun Chip Factory have attracted such high attention from the American multinational giants actually includes some deep-seated reasons, that is, Americans do not want to see the memory chip market dominated by the Japanese. If possible, they also hope to support a rival that competes with the Japanese chip industry. Only in this way can these American companies take the opportunity to lower prices and profit from it.

Duan Yun actually realized this very early on. He didn’t choose to develop computer processor chips at the beginning. The main reason was that he didn’t want to compete with the Americans for jobs in the early stages of the company’s growth. In the situation of strict technical blockade, there is not much risk in competing with Japanese manufacturers, and it is even something Americans are willing to see...
