The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 206 No hurry, let me think about it.

But at the end, Hu Lai hesitated a little, bought the NB-Y structure directly?

Hu Lai didn't enter the system in a hurry, but began to think alone.

Although during this period of time, my main goal is to collect enough 1000 million points to purchase the NB-Y chip architecture, and then design more dedicated chips such as 7nm and 14nm based on the NB-Y architecture.

But at the moment.

Phoenix's financial report last year eased his original urgency. Phoenix's top priority is not to design more 7-nanometer and 5-nanometer chips.

On the contrary, Phoenix should slow down now and truly expand the market share of the several industries it has deployed before, so as to form a good reputation in the industry and realize its high-end brand positioning.

In particular, the electric motorcycle and automobile industries have already tasted the sweetness of high-end brands. Although the market share is not high, they have created tens of billions of operating income.

So in the next year, Phoenix should develop more new models, increase production capacity, and earn more funds and points!

Phoenix's revenue of more than 600 billion yuan and net profit of 60 billion yuan last year may sound like a lot, but compared with the real top companies, it is still a younger brother.

Huawei Group's operating income last year was 6368 billion and its net profit was 1137 billion.

Zesla's annual operating income is 3497 billion and its net profit is 370 billion.

Google's annual operating income is 4400 billion, and its net profit is 1072 billion.

Hongguo's annual revenue is 24000 trillion yuan and its net profit is 6270 billion yuan.

"Compared with these well-known companies, Fenghuang's profit is only a fraction, and we still need to work hard!"

After Hu Lai sighed, his thoughts returned to the NB-Y chip architecture.

Now the Huyue 140 chip and Huyue 280 chip can reach the level of I7 and I5 with the "future operating system", which is completely sufficient for notebook computers.

Most users choose computers, that is, I5 and I7 performance. Even if more models of notebook computers are launched in the future, it is nothing more than innovation in graphics card, memory, screen or appearance design.

Now the only thing that needs 7nm process chips is the mobile phone business.

Thinking of this, Hu Lai couldn't help frowning.

Since the last time the Snapdragon 8155 chip triggered the blockade of Zesla and Qualcomm, Hu Lai has been very alert.

At the beginning, it was only "Qingluan" that caused a huge impact on Zesla model 3, which caused Zesla and Qualcomm to jointly block the Phoenix 8155 chip.

If you enter the mobile phone industry by yourself and design and produce a 7nm chip based on the NB-Y architecture as Huawei did at the beginning, will you suffer the same treatment?

No, even without the 7nm NB-Y chip, the comprehensive computing power of the NB-Y architecture chip itself is stronger than that of the ARM architecture chip. Even if the low-power 14nm is equipped with a future operating system, it can undoubtedly reach 7nm under the ARM architecture. nanometer level.

Hu Lai has no idea whether a 865-nanometer chip that can rival the Snapdragon 13 and Hongguo A14 processors will cause blockade again.

After all, Huawei is a lesson learned from the past. Without its own 5nm, 7nm or even 14nm lithography machines, it is too easy for the American country to block Phoenix!

Thinking of this, Hu Lai also realized that the advanced process lithography machine is a dangling sword of Daxmos. If the production problem is not solved, the design of 3nm chips will also be strangled to death by the American country.

After figuring this out, I simply did not rush to exchange for the NB-Y architecture, but instead entered the system to check the problem of the lithography machine.

"Welcome to the Light System of Domestic Products."

The last time he was blocked by Zesla, he entered the system to check it once. At this time, he directly searched for a 5-nanometer lithography machine, and the points required for purchase were still densely packed with several zeros.

5nm lithography machine manufacturing technology requires [-] million points.

7nm and 14nm also need 8000 million points and 5000 million points!
Hu Lai was used to the sky-high price of manufacturing technology, and seeing that his system points had just exceeded [-] million, he thought carefully about the current situation of the Phoenix Group, and made a decision with a firm heart.

"Let's put the NB-Y architecture first, and the focus of the Phoenix Semiconductor Department is on chip manufacturing. Based on the 28nm lithography machine, we will start with simple ones, which can also be regarded as preparation technology for the future 14nm lithography machine. personnel."

"The goal of Phoenix this year is to expand the sales of electric vehicles, cars, and notebooks. When the points are close to 5000 million, then enter the mobile phone industry to sprint for points. When Phoenix has a 14nm lithography machine, then Phoenix will have no constraints. Already!"

After thinking about these things clearly, he was determined, and then he withdrew from the system.

Next, as expected, Hu Lai convened all senior executives of the Phoenix Group for a goal meeting, and then began to focus on electric scooters, Phoenix cars and Phoenix computers.

Less than half a month after Hu Lai held the meeting, a sudden sales ban shocked the world!
Without any warning, the American country suddenly issued a ban: After investigation and evidence collection by the American Federal Security Agency, it was found that the "computing power network" function on the "Rainbow" series electric vehicles sold by the Phoenix Group to the American country was harmful to the American country's network security. Threatening and violating the personal privacy of the people of the Americas.

And there is evidence that Phoenix provided the data of these American countries to the military of Yan State. In view of the above situation, the Phoenix Group was included in the "Entity List" and the strictest export control was implemented.

All American companies are prohibited from conducting any import and export transactions with the Phoenix Group, and all countries and companies in the world that use American chip patents are prohibited from providing them with services such as chip design and manufacturing. OEM manufacturers, including all 14nm and above The manufacturing process is strictly prohibited, and it will be implemented from now on!
When the unprecedented sales ban came out, the whole world was amazed!
Following the Huawei Group, another Yan country company has been completely blocked by the Americas!

Moreover, this is a more urgent and severe ban on Huawei than Huawei. It not only completely withdraws the Phoenix Group from the American market, but also completely restricts the import and export trade of all American companies and the Phoenix Group. The blockade of the 14nm chip process!
Everyone in the world can see clearly: America is going to target Phoenix Group, it is to strictly restrict Phoenix chips, prohibit all chip manufacturers in the world from providing chip foundry to Phoenix, and let all Phoenix products be used without chips!

The news was posted on the Internet from the internal agencies of the American country. Before it reached the Yan country, the entrepreneurs and capitalists in the American country were at a loss.

Phoenix Group?What kind of company is this that is so severely blocked by the American country? !
"Fukk, Phoenix Group? My brother, have you heard of this enterprise?"

"I'm sorry brother, it is said that it is a Yan country company that produces electric motorcycles and agricultural tricycles, and they are selling well in many states!"

"Oh, Mygod, hell! The United States blocked a tricycle company? What is the Federal Security Agency doing? It's inexplicable!"

"Hey, the Federal Security Agency won't be aimless. The news I got is that the Phoenix Group is a very powerful chip company in Yan Country. It is said that it can challenge Inet's chip status..."

The Phoenix Group has almost no influence in the world and the Americas.

Enterprises and capital consortiums all over the world who don't know the situation are surprised, and more capital consortiums with keen sense of smell have quickly collected the background and information of the Phoenix Group.

In just two hours, relevant materials of the Phoenix Group were placed on the desks of the CEOs of the major consortiums.

However, after understanding the background of Phoenix, although these American capitalists have relieved their confusion, they are even more indifferent.

If it is banned, it will be banned, it has nothing to do with them!

In less than half an hour, various capitals and related companies in the United States, such as Hongguo, Inet, and Google, expressed their absolute support for the resolution of the Federal Security Bureau and strictly abide by the ban on sales.

And the chairman of the world's major chip foundries also received a call from the American country!
Subsequently, a formal letter of injunction was sent to major chip foundries without any room for reversal.

And as time fermented, the ban on the Phoenix Group also spread to Yan Country, and the entire Yan Country was in an uproar!
It is not surprising that American companies have included Yanguo companies in the "Entity List". Recently, Hikvision, 360, etc. have been included in the Entity List, but this ban on Phoenix reminds people of Huawei a few years ago. The situation where the Wei Group is blocked!
No.

To be precise, Phoenix's current situation is even more difficult than that of Huawei.

Huawei was blocked in three steps at the time, leaving a buffer period of more than one year and nearly two years, and finally banned the foundry of processes above 7 nanometers!
And now.

The American country is more decisive and straightforward, and the one-time blockade is in place, and it will be implemented immediately!

online……

"I'm so stupid. Is the Phoenix Group so fierce? I was directly targeted by the American country and came to block the package. This treatment is exactly the same as Huawei!"

"Brother upstairs, I must correct you. Huawei can still manufacture 14nm chips at any rate. Phoenix's 14nm chips are banned. If it weren't for the domestic production of 28nm, I'm afraid 28nm would be banned! "

"Fuck, this is outrageous. Not long ago, Phoenix was cut off from chip supply by Qualcomm. This time, it will be directly upgraded to the MAX Hell Difficulty Package? Now Phoenix will be Q by Barbie!"

"When the Huyue 140 chip broke out that its performance was better than I7, I felt that Phoenix would be targeted, but I still didn't expect the American country to be so shameless. 14 nanometers are banned, but I have to say that Phoenix is ​​too strong. Those people in the country panicked!"

"Hey! Phoenix's 14nm is manufactured by SMIC. I don't know if SMIC can withstand the pressure to help Phoenix produce chips..."

"Top der! Except that the 14nm lithography machine has the technology of the American country, once you are disobedient, the raw materials, photoresist, and high-purity silicon wafers will all be stopped for you. What will you do then? There is no need to make Unnecessary sacrifice."

"That being said, if SMIC can't help Phoenix manufacture Huyue 140 chips, will the production of 140 chips stop? Phoenix high-end computers and Phoenix 'Qingluan' have no chips!"

"Yes, the Phoenix is ​​probably on the verge of dying now. It seems that Huawei hasn't recovered from it for so many years, and he hasn't found a way..."

……

Phoenix Group Headquarters.

Early in the morning, Hu Lai saw the news of the ban in America on the road.

When he came to the office, Director Zhang and Zhang Feiyang were already waiting for him in the office.

Factory Manager Zhang and Zhang Feiyang looked ashen and anxious.

"Boss, something big happened, you have seen the related reports."

"This time the American country suddenly issued an embargo order, which not only included us in the 'entity list', but also completely blocked our chip foundry business."

"Our electric motorcycle dealers in the Americas have contacted us. All orders that have not been delivered have been canceled and the dealer contract has been terminated. Nvidia and AMD, which cooperate with us, have also issued a statement that they will no longer provide us with Graphics chip..."

"SMIC also called us just now. They said that the American country has sent someone to SMIC to conduct on-site supervision. They can buy us a day at most. After that, they will not be able to help us manufacture chips."

As the factory manager talked, his face became more anxious. With the lessons learned from the Huawei Group, he knew very well what this prohibition order meant.

The world's top companies of Huawei Group's size have been restricted until now and have not lifted the blockade. He doesn't think Phoenix will have room for maneuver in this matter.

Once Phoenix's 14nm chips cannot be manufactured, then Phoenix's "Qingluan" chips and high-end chips for computer notebooks will all be restricted, and the "Starry Sky" computer will directly become history.

The most serious thing is that until the domestic 14nm lithography machine is not mature in the future, the Phoenix Group will not be able to participate in all the high-end chip industries.

In the computer, tablet, and mobile phone industries, there will be no Phoenix Group.

And the future domestic 14nm lithography machine?
Domestically produced 28nm lithography machines only made breakthroughs last year, and 14nm lithography machines may not be able to break through until two or three years later.

Factory Manager Zhang couldn't help sighing. If it was a dangerous situation when Phoenix was jointly blocked by Zesla and Qualcomm last time, then this time it is undoubtedly a deadlock.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this can be regarded as breaking the Phoenix Group's path to the technology industry.

Zhang Feiyang on the side also pursed his lips. As he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, he felt angry and helpless at this moment.

After joining the Phoenix Group, he also has a better understanding of the chip industry, but the more a high-end elite like him understands the industry, the less he sees any hope of breaking the situation.

Sanctions directly from the manufacturing end, although simple and rude, are extremely easy to use. For Phoenix, it is an absolute blow to dimensionality reduction!
At this moment, he looked at Hu Lai, but couldn't say a word.

Both of them had their eyes on Hu Lai. Director Zhang looked anxious, and Zhang Feiyang looked serious. The atmosphere in the whole office was extremely dull.

"The ban...I saw it on the way here."

"Early in the morning, Nvidia and AMD called me and explained the reasons for the termination of the contract. I didn't need to embarrass them, so I agreed."

Hu Lai's expression was calm, and there was no trace of anxiety in his tone.

At this moment, he felt an indescribable feeling. Although he was a little surprised, he felt it was expected after a moment of anger.

At the same time, he was very glad that he did not buy 1000 million points for the NB-Y architecture a few days ago, but made up his mind to save and buy a 14nm lithography machine.

He looked at Director Zhang and said calmly:

"Old Zhang, you can check how many Huyue 140 chips we have in stock and the order quantity of our Phoenix high-end computers in a while."

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Feiyang again.

"Feiyang, please appease all the employees first. All departments should not be affected by the outside world and ensure production. Don't mess around at this time."

Hu Lai's calm performance and the two couldn't help being taken aback. His firm eyes and words subconsciously made the two of them feel at ease. Unknowingly, Hu Lai became the absolute backbone.

The feeling of depression in the hearts of the two was relieved at once. Director Zhang looked concentrating and said:

"Boss, I checked the inventory of Huyue 140 chips early in the morning. Fortunately, computer sales have been good these days. Our chip production line at SMIC is in full production, and now there are 69 chips in stock."

"It's just that the inventory of graphics cards that Nvidia has provided us is not much, only more than 20 pieces, and there are still nearly 30 orders for high-end computers that have not yet been produced."

Hu Lai calculated silently in his heart, and Director Zhang added:

"Nowadays, our sales of Phoenix computers are good. The sales volume is close to 200 million units a month. Although high-end configurations only account for 40%, we still need 80 chips a month."

"The amount of Huyue 140 chips we have in reserve now is less than a month. If we count the amount of computers and 'Qingluan' cars that have not been produced, the support time will be even shorter."

Speaking of this, Director Zhang suggested:

"Boss, why don't we stop the pre-sale of the high-end version of the Phoenix computer now? If we don't close the pre-sale, I'm afraid we won't have any chips to ship."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Feiyang on the side also nodded and suggested:
"Boss, although the performance of the Huyue 280 chip is inferior, it can still realize all the functions of 'Qingluan'. Why don't we use the Huyue 280 chip on 'Qingluan'? The saved chips can be given to Phoenix Computer."

After the two finished speaking, their eyes fell on Hu Lai.

Hu Lai thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No hurry, let me think about it."
