Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 738 Survival of the Fittest

Saturday, April 4.

There was a light rain in Lin'an.

Fang Zhuo wandered around the hazy West Lake, and left his second hometown in a bad mood.

The construction of the factory in Lin'an is going smoothly, and Qimonda's team from Germany is also satisfied with Ice Core's actions, and officially started the cooperation negotiation.

If nothing else, at the end of this month, Qimonda will sign an agreement with Bingxin. After all, Fang Zhuo has been in contact with Qimonda since before Qimonda was spun off from the parent company last year, and the attitudes of the two parties have been quite consistent.

The content of the cooperation is that Qimonda will transfer and authorize 110nm, 90nm, and 80nm DRAM trench technologies to Icecore for the development and sales of various niche memories.

Storage DRAM is divided into mainstream and niche types. The former is oriented to the needs of PCs and servers, while the latter is used in TVs, monitoring, network communications, and in-vehicle entertainment.

Niche storage is relatively low-end and mainly customized, accounting for only about 10% of the total memory market.

Considering the technical strength of Ice Core, the demand of related industrial chains, and the bloody price battle among major players in the memory market, no matter Qiu Ciyun, Hu Zhengming or Luo Jianhua, the head of Qimonda, they all believe that Ice Core regards niche storage as the core of DRAM. A good starting point.

As Qimonda's first independent partner, Luo Jianhua expresses his sincerity and will add an extension clause. If necessary in the future, the two parties will expand their cooperative relationship in the production of standard memory chips.

Fang Zhuo is quite appreciative of this kind of cooperation attitude, and also agrees with Ice Core's starting from a niche storage.

According to the time, the construction and technical digestion of the ice core storage plant in Lin'an can be completed within this year, and it will not be put into production until next year at the earliest.

In other words, it will be put into production in 2007 next year, and it will not be far from the 2008 financial crisis reshuffle. It is just suitable for pick and choose to enter the mainstream storage field.

Lin'an's storage future is worth imagining.

However, the real news before him still made Fang Zhuo frown.

As soon as the news of Taiji's change of head came, he immediately asked people to inquire about the situation from different channels.

Sure enough, Tai Ji seems to have the intention to make another move in the United States.

Fang Zhuo notified Zhang Rujing when he heard the vague news, and was afraid that the other party would not take it seriously, so he called the Secretary-General Jiang Shangzhou.

As a result, the attitudes of the two people were quite consistent, and the soldiers came to cover up the water.

Zhang Rujing said this: "We have complied with the terms of the settlement agreement. There is nothing wrong with it. The technology of the new manufacturing process was imported from Belgium. Mr. Fang, you know this too. How can Tai Ji sue?"

Fang Zhuo sighed and said, "I believe what you said, Mr. Zhang, but I'm just a little bit afraid that some referee will sideline the fight."

Zhang Rujing didn't make a sound for a long time when he heard Mr. Fang say that.

In the end, he could only say: "Things haven't happened yet, do your best."

That's all there is to it.

In addition to the communication with SMIC, Fang Zhuo noticed the appearance of Liang Mengsong in the management change of Taiji. Dr. Liang was not affected by the butterfly effect, and he got his wish and lost the vice president of research and development of Taiji.

After Fang Zhuo heard the news, he called Dr. Liang with a sad heart, intending to comfort him.

However, before saying a few words, or even beginning to express their intentions, the other party flatly refused, and claimed that "even if I sit on the bench in Taiji, I will not go to Bingxin".

Such words are somewhat hurtful.

Even though Mr. Fang was as strong as a rock in his heart, he was somewhat scratched with a white mark.

Immediately, he held the phone and noticed the element again. After he got through the call, he didn't mention whether he was cold or not. Dr. Liang was stunned to say what he felt in his heart.

It seems that deep down in his heart, he still cares about the unexpected loss.

Now there is a problem. Fang Zhuo was afraid that Dr. Liang would not come to Bingxin even if he left Taiji, so he turned around and followed his Korean wife to Samsung. If that was the case...

Fang Zhuo felt that he had to do something quietly, and resolutely helped to put an end to violations in the industry.

Taiji is an opponent, and Samsung is rich and powerful, so it is also an opponent.

Liang Mengsong's news was mixed, and the new head of Tai Ji brought a completely bad news as soon as he took office. He announced his customer attitude to the media.

Because of Taiji's advanced technology, the cost of 65nm is expected to be lower than that of 90nm, so many customers will consider skipping 90nm directly and looking for 65nm foundry products.

Bingxin is still doing 90nm risky mass production here, and people are thinking about skipping this generation. They were just eating soup, but this time even the soup has become less. It is really one step, one step, one step. Slow down, step by step.

Fortunately, Taiwan Kee will start mass production in the third or fourth quarter, so there is still some time to get orders.

According to Qiu Ciyun, Bingxin's small profits but high sales have to be thinner to increase its competitiveness.

On the way back to Shencheng from Lin'an, Fang Zhuo had been thinking about the changes represented by various news, and when he arrived in Shanghai, the secretary mentioned the latest news, Penguin officially entered the campus social network and launched "QQ Alumni".

QQ alumni...

The name is really straightforward.

Fang Zhuo didn't have any mood swings about the penguin's attack, he just wondered if there would be a different situation when it quickly entered the campus social track this time.

"Mr. Fang, Zhihu is discussing this matter." The secretary continued to report, "Everyone is taking stock of the various fields that Penguin has entered. Before, there were three major portals. Penguin was a portal. Now there are emerging e-commerce companies. Penguin is an auction Shooting, including game platforms, Xiaonei, etc., Penguin also used traffic to follow up, they said, Penguin did not do one.”

Fang Zhuo asked curiously, "What didn't you do?"

"Baidu's search track, Penguin has no involvement." The secretary replied.

Fang Zhuo laughed and waved his hands, "Sooner or later."

With Penguin's online alumni, pointing directly to Xiaonei.com, not only Zhihu, but also online media such as Sohu, Sina, and Netease have sparked heated discussions.

Since Penguin went public, it has become more and more good at using its traffic advantages, but it seems a bit excessive.

However, this kind of discussion did not shake Penguin, and made up for everyone's discussion two days later-Penguin entered the search track, launched "Soso", and completed another use of traffic.

It was also because of the launch of Soso that a Penguin executive at the vice president level asked and expressed his opinion in an interview with the media.

"Our traffic, our users, aren't we earning it through hard work?"

"If it was you, wouldn't you take advantage of this?"

"In doing business and doing projects, of course you have to show your own strengths."

"Needless to mention the alumni network, we are also considering making Zhihu. I believe that even Mr. Fang can understand the logic of our product development."

"The market is like this, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest."

After Xiaonei and Soso, the Vice President of Penguin used the prestige of the traffic to call President Fang, calling Zhihu by name.
