God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 212 Semiconductor Overlord

"President! What should we do now?"

"The company's success depends entirely on Ni Gong. I think we should invite him back."

"I've said it a long time ago, you can't give up technology."

In Beijing, Zhongguancun, Science Academy South Road, Lenovo Group's conference room on the sixth floor, countless people were arguing.

Liu Chuanzhi sat at the front of the conference table, bowed his head and remained silent.

The "Tianji-[-]" chip developed by Infinity is of historic significance in breaking the monopoly of the semiconductor market.

The moment the chip was successfully released, the whole country rejoiced!

How exciting it is!

And the biggest contributor to all of this is Ni Guangnan, who he drove out a year ago!
Now even the Ministry of Science and Technology can't help but nominate him as a candidate for this year's Science and Technology Progress Award, and now newspapers and media are promoting his deeds everywhere.

Anyone can see that, with such an early nomination, it doesn't matter who the award will be awarded to?

However, this is not the most important.

The most important thing is that their chip seems to have been successfully developed, and they have made such great progress in just one year.

Experts from the Computer Institute conducted a comprehensive test on "Tianji-[-]", and the performance of the chip has greatly surpassed those international chip giants such as Intel and AMD.

There is no way to fake it.

It can be foreseen that Infinity will enter the complete machine market in the next step, and they will be the first to be impacted by Lenovo at that time.

Because in the past few years, Lenovo has given up the route of independent research and development since it switched from technology, industry and trade to trade, industry and technology, and put its main energy on building a computer brand.

That is to say, apart from occasionally designing computer cases and motherboards, which have no technical content, all other hardware devices are purchased by other manufacturers and then assembled into complete machines for sale.

Lenovo itself, without any core technology.

And Infinity Company has already solved the most important core component in the computer - CPU.

The rest of the motherboard, memory, hard disk, graphics card, power supply, these five essential computer accessories are not very complicated, and many manufacturers around the world can manufacture them.

If they enter the complete machine market, Lenovo will definitely have a strong opponent.

After arguing for a long time, everyone saw that Liu Chuanzhi had been silent, and they gradually became quiet. They all stared and waited patiently for him to speak.

Finally, Liu Chuanzhi spoke, and he said, "Li Gong, you can ask Intel later if their Pentium 4 can surpass it in terms of performance."

The middle-aged man named Li Gong nodded.

A person next to him interjected: "President, should we send someone to contact Infinity, it is best to take over all their chip business, and then our whole machine can also use their chips?"

"Why are you so naive! Let alone whether they are willing or not, we have just signed a five-year supply agreement with Intel. If we use Infinity's chips by then, the other party will definitely terminate our cooperation with us!"

Liu Chuanzhi patted the table and said angrily.

He understands the mentality of these people, but the current Lenovo Group has long been bound to those European and American manufacturers, and it is not easy to get out of it.

It is easy to give up cooperation with Intel, but it will definitely anger the other party.

Once they improve the process and manufacture chips with better performance, the slight advantage that Infinity currently maintains will disappear immediately.

At that time, Lenovo will be caught in a dilemma. If it still wants to cooperate with Intel, even if the other party agrees, I am afraid it will suffer a lot.

So now, it is absolutely impossible to draw conclusions lightly.

Although he doesn't know what method Infinity used to manufacture the chip, he believes that the chip giants in the United States will definitely catch up at all costs.

Because the semiconductor industry is their absolute opponent.

Almost every electronic device is inseparable from semiconductors, including mobile phones, cars, refrigerators, air conditioners, various household appliances, and so on.

The semiconductor industry in the United States is huge, directly contributing a large amount of tax revenue to the United States, and the number of workers employed by those semiconductor companies has reached more than 20.

By supporting the expansion of the semiconductor industry, virtually every other industry in the United States will benefit.

Whether it is an increase in demand for semiconductor equipment, tools and materials, or a more stable supply of chips for downstream industries.

Semiconductor R&D, design, and manufacturing are an integral part of the American economy.

Therefore, they will never allow anyone to threaten their semiconductor supremacy.

After figuring this out, his psychological pressure eased a lot.

As for inviting Ni Guangnan back, he would not do so easily unless it was absolutely necessary, otherwise he would be shameless?

A meeting, without discussing any results, just dispersed.

South China City, the headquarters of Infinity Corporation.

Lin Zeju just finished a reception and is currently discussing the details with Chen Weidong.

"Awei, several domestic institutions have proposed to purchase our chips in large quantities. Do you think we should supply them first?"

"Come on, we won't consider this kind of business for the time being." Chen Weidong thought for a while, and directly rejected the request.

Others may think that state-owned enterprises and public institutions purchase with large profit margins and stable orders, and they are the best customers, but he doesn't care about such small profits.

Their goal is the entire huge personal computer market.

At that time, if you can occupy a place, the profit will be calculated in hundreds of billions, or in US dollars.

"Okay, but recently some domestic computer accessories manufacturers have come to our door, hoping to reach a cooperation with us." Lin Zeju nodded slightly, and said with a smile.

After their chips were released, they immediately attracted domestic accessory manufacturers, many of whom hoped to launch a 100% domestically produced personal computer.

"This can be considered, but we must tell them well that if we enter the complete machine market in the future, we will give priority to using their products. After all, they are all domestically produced, and everyone should take care of each other." Chen Weidong touched his chin, thinking of the upcoming something to face.

They have initially determined that they want to develop their own machine business.

The problem of the processor is solved, and the rest is the problem of the motherboard and graphics card.

There is no need to worry about the main board. The main board of the Lenovo 286 microcomputer was designed by Ni Guangnan, and he already has enough design experience.

Only the graphics card is blind.

But in fact, the manufacturing of the graphics card is not complicated. What is complicated is some of the core components above, such as the core part of the GPU (graphics processing unit).

GPU is also a kind of chip, and it also needs to talk about the manufacturing process. Nvidia is an absolute graphics card giant, and they use 180 nanometer process technology.

In this regard, Infinity is not bad.

As long as you increase capital investment, experiment repeatedly, and accumulate technology over a period of time, it will not be a problem to make a qualified and usable graphics card.

As for some other computer accessories, he is not going to intervene, but chooses to cooperate with domestic manufacturers and let them produce them on their behalf.

There is no good end to eating alone.

It is still somewhat difficult to stimulate the local economy by relying on their own business alone.

Appropriately distributing some profits to downstream suppliers, or driving the technological upgrading of surrounding companies, is the best way to promote domestic R&D.

Subsequently.

The two talked for a while, and Lin Zeju went back to his office.

He still has a lot to deal with.

In Infinity Company, as long as they are above the supervisor level, they have their own offices. Only Chen Weidong and Li Xier work in the same office.

And Chen Weidong also euphemistically called it, all in order to better improve work efficiency.
