Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 337 The first year of VR games! 102.2 billion EUV lithography machine!
"With a yield rate of 65%, who will pay for it?"

After Chen Heyu got the news, he couldn't help scoffing.

Shanhai Microelectronics' 10-nanometer chip production process, after seven months of development, replaced some imported equipment and materials, and the yield rate increased again, from 72% to 84%.

With the same foundry quotation, Shanhai Microelectronics can produce 19% more qualified chips, which is almost one-fifth.

It can be said that the 10nm process of Bay Semiconductor and Intel Electronics is not competitive.

However, within the company, he still sent an email to all employees, explaining the increasingly fierce competitive pressure, and motivating the chip engineers in the R&D center to continue to work hard and move towards the direction of 7 nanometers.

The employees are very clear in their hearts that their generous monthly salary and generous annual bonus come from Shanhai Microelectronics, which has always controlled the world's most advanced chip technology.

Once it falls behind and loses its dominant position, this grand occasion will no longer be available.

Who can handle this?

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. No one wants to see a sharp reduction in welfare. Naturally, they have made every effort to make a big splash in the 7-nanometer field.

In particular, the arrival of the first batch of EUV lithography machines of AMIS has added a bit of confidence.

NXE 3350B, the third-generation EUV lithography machine of AMIS, has significantly improved EUV technology, can provide higher resolution and faster production speed, and helps to achieve higher density and smaller size chip design.

More importantly, it supports 7nm chip manufacturing!
In the view of Bernard, the chairman of Amsl, as long as the beautiful country business department does not speak, it is not good for him to make money. Why bother with Shanhai Microelectronics?
As a result, the two companies abandoned the past and returned to the honeymoon period.

Along with the 10 NXE 3350B arriving in Shanghai, there is also the installation and commissioning team of AMES, which will help Shanhai Microelectronics become familiar with the maintenance and use of the new equipment as soon as possible.

Do the initial run-in!
The price of each NXE 3350B is as high as 7000 million euros, which is 5.1 million Chinese dollars in conversion!
Chen Heyu purchased a total of 20 units, which is equivalent to investing another 102.2 billion yuan in lithography equipment!

"When will the domestic lithography machine be available? I can also spend less money."

he muttered to himself.

It's a pity that the R&D and manufacturing of lithography machines involves a variety of core technologies. Even if he has a system, he can only do it step by step.

He Tingbo reported once last month that the R&D center has made breakthroughs in the laser system, objective lens system and workbench, but when it comes to production, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done.

A sophisticated EUV lithography machine consists of more than 10 parts and involves more than 5000 suppliers around the world.

Of course, not all parts require exclusive technical support. At least 70% of electronic components can be replaced domestically.

Shanhai Microelectronics is currently focusing on the remaining 30% of spare parts, and is gradually improving supply chain management through acquisitions, self-research and other means.

Finally, we can start to enter the production and manufacturing stage, thereby embarking on the road of localization of the semiconductor industry, "de-neoning", "de-beautifying", "de-windmilling", so that we will not be stuck in the future.

……

"Old Mo, how long until you arrive in Hangzhou?"

Chen Heyu raised his head and asked, looking at the highway outside the window, the car was still speeding, with green plants planted on both sides.

"Boss, it will take about half an hour."

Ding Mo used Mosi glasses to call up the itinerary information and give accurate replies.

"Go directly to Yi's headquarters."

Chen Heyu ordered.

"Okay, I know."

Ding Mo nodded and said.

After Changyi obtained the authorization of Moss AI Games 3.0, a year passed quickly. Ding Sanshi spent 30 billion yuan to create a VR game for cultivating immortals-"Gone with the Wind".

Players can experience the most realistic skills, elixirs, magic weapons, ascension, thunder tribulation, fairyland, etc. in the game world. Combined with the level of cultivation, they can even experience the joy of becoming stronger a little bit.

In order to build momentum for the release of the game, Ding Sanshi specially invited him to attend the new product launch conference.

After Chen Heyu thought about it for a moment, he agreed.

On the one hand, let's take a look at Xiangyi's game production level, and on the other hand, take part in the third Internet Conference.

Originally, he didn't want to come, but Mr. Meng called himself and explained: "Whether it is Future Technology or Shanhai Microelectronics, they are the most capable technology companies in Huaguo. If you don't come, what's the point of this exchange meeting?"

Ugh!
The boss spoke, so he had no choice but to put down his work for the time being and drive to Wu Town with Lao Mo.

After half a sound.

A blue Mulsanne drove into Binjiang District, followed by two BMW SUVs, and proceeded along E-commerce Road.

After a while, Xiang Yi's headquarters building gradually came into view.

The appearance is simple and elegant. The building is composed of high-rise buildings and low-rise buildings. The facade uses glass curtain walls. The air corridors between the buildings connect the entire park together, which looks full of modernity and technology.

As soon as the car drove to the main entrance, I saw two middle-aged men wearing black-rimmed glasses and suits standing on the side of the road, and there were seven or eight staff members beside them.

One of them is Ding Sanshi, the head of Xiangyi, and the other looks a little strange, and Chen Heyu is not familiar with it.

immediately.

He pushed the door and walked down, grabbed the opponent's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ding, congratulations, I wish you a great game in advance!"

He can draw a 30% commission, the higher the other party earns, the happier he is!
"Mr. Chen, please come here. The press conference will start in half an hour. I will take you to visit the headquarters of Changyi first.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Chen is here for the first time, right? "

Ding Sanshi was extremely enthusiastic. After all, he and Zhang Chaoyang are good friends, friends of friends, and friends.

He and Chen Heyu had drank a few times in private, and they had a very close relationship.

During the Spring Festival last year, Ding Sanshi also sent two black pigs to Chen Heyu, which is also the main reason why Chen Heyu is willing to attend the game promotion conference of Changyi.

A group of people chatted while walking, and the park was full of trees and flowers.

Accompanied by Ding Sanshi, he walked all the way through the gym, coffee shop and library before arriving at the headquarters building, and took the elevator into a large and bright conference hall.

A full several hundred square meters, with a stage and hundreds of audience seats.

Apparently, this place is usually a large activity room for Xiang Yi, but today it was changed into a press conference site.

The audience was filled with game media reporters, critics, analysts, game anchors and player representatives, as well as senior management and development team members of Wangyi Games.

Chen Heyu's seat was arranged in the central area of ​​the first row, just to the left of Ding Sanshi.

"Who is this person? It doesn't look like a high-level executive, why is he sitting next to Mr. Ding?"

"You're so blind! That's Chen Heyu, the big boss of Future Technology!"

"It seems that the development tools used in this game are the products of Chen's head office?"

"Be confident and remove the image! In the future, all VR games will have to hand over 30% of their revenue to Future Technology."

"Damn it! Isn't that the same as Apple, which alone earns tens of billions a year?"

"It's not that simple. The global sales of the Dream game cabin are only 2600 million units. Compared with mobile devices, the number of players is still too small."

Some master anchors were discussing in low voices.

When the time came to ten o'clock, the middle-aged man next to Ding Sanshi pushed his glasses, Shi Shiran got up and walked to the center of the stage, facing the audience, he greeted the audience with a smile: "Dear guests, players and friends, hello everyone! !

Thank you for coming to the press conference. I am your old friend, the person in charge of Xiangyi Games—Ding Maofeng!

Today I would like to introduce to you our company’s first VR immortality-cultivating game “Piaomiao Journey”! "

Chen Heyu nodded slightly. It turned out that this person was the product director of "Fantasy Westward Journey" and "Westward Journey", and was also the co-president of Changyi.

However, he didn't play these two games when he was studying, so he didn't feel much.

On the contrary, some hardcore players showed a look of admiration in their eyes.

Fantasy Westward Journey has been in existence for thirteen years, with 3.1 million registered users, and a total of 472 paid servers have been set up. The highest number of simultaneous online users is as high as 271 million, breaking the record of the game industry in Dahua District that year.

Before Chen Heyu's rebirth, this game was still being played, which shows its longevity.

""Gone with the Wind" is a VR game with the theme of fairy tale cultivation, which is produced with the Moss AI Games 3.0 engine. It has exquisite graphics, a grand world view, and rich and diverse gameplay. It is committed to creating an immersive gaming experience for players.

It can only run on the Dream game cabin, I believe that friends who have used it before will not be unfamiliar with it..."

Ding Maofeng was full of confidence and talked eloquently.

Changyi has invested a year, a lot of research and development manpower and funds in this game. In order to promote it, as early as two months ago, Xiangyi used S-level resources to warm up through various channels.

Portal pop-up window, game UP main soft article, reservation purchase lottery, subway window advertisement placement, etc., just want to be a hit!

Ding Maofeng's speech was very contagious, describing a thrilling world of cultivation, covering various novel ways of playing.

In other words, this game can satisfy all the fantasies of players about the world of cultivating immortals.

"Mr. Ding, what's its selling price?"

The reporter from Tourist Star took the opportunity to ask a question.

The games in the Dream game cabin have only one feature, and that is—expensive!

The domestic version of the world's first VR game "Mysterious Recovery" is priced at as high as 6888 Chinese dollars, and the overseas market once sold for [-] dollars.

A proper rich man's game!
To run the device + game software, you have to spend 4 Chinese dollars, which is still the first-hand price.

With the Lucheng Super Factory, after two large-scale recruitments and three production capacity increases, the secondary market price of the Dream game cabin was brought down.

Some game enthusiasts can get on board even if they grit their teeth!
This group of people has been in the world of "Mysterious Recovery" for more than a year. After the novelty wears off, they naturally want to try new games.

"Piaomiao Journey" is the best choice!

Therefore, price has become the most concerned topic among game media, forums, and players.

"The domestic price is 6888 yuan, and the overseas market is 1399 yuan!"

Ding Maofeng heard the words and said the price frankly.

"Wow! So expensive!"

"It's actually the same price as "Mysterious Recovery". Could it be that Future Technology is intervening and they are not allowed to disrupt the price system?"

"You can buy the latest iPhone, I really can't afford it!"

"..."

The audience in the audience was in an uproar. The price was much higher than their expectations. Players with low income had to save for two months to afford it.

Ding Maofeng vaguely heard the discussion below, smiled lightly, and didn't care.

Limited by the number of owners of the Dream game cabin, "Ethereal Journey" is destined to only take the high-end route, otherwise it will be difficult to recover the production cost in a short period of time.

In order to create those complex scenes of the Sea of ​​Wounded Souls, the City of Heaven, the Magic Star Array, the Magic Temple, and the Heavenly Court of Stars and Stars Palace, and perfectly present a world of cultivating immortals, 30 billion yuan was spent in real money.

If you only sell at the price of 98, 198 or 398, and play the volume model, it is the act of courting death.

"I am well aware of players' needs and expectations for high-quality games, so the team went all out and invested a lot of research and development resources and energy to polish "Gone with the Wind".

The production cost alone exceeds 30 billion Chinese dollars, which is also a big deal in the global game industry, second only to "Destiny 2".

Please rest assured that its pricing and quality are absolutely consistent, and it will not disappoint players and friends. "

Ding Maofeng explained with a smile.

then.

He randomly selected 10 lucky users to experience this game on stage. Of course, after the experience, he would give them a copy of the game software "Gone with the Wind".

"Mr. Chen, why don't you try?"

Ding Sanshi asked.

"No, when I turn around and leave, I will take two with me."

Chen Heyu said bluntly.

He has played "Mysterious Recovery" for a while, but due to his busy daily work, he has long since abandoned the game. For him, "Gone with the Wind" is just a little more fresh.

"no problem."

Ding Sanshi smiled and turned to look at the stage.

The audience who got the experience quota all looked excited, took over the Dream game cabin from the staff, and started the game skillfully.

They are also loyal users of the Dream game cabin and are no strangers to the operation. Ma Liu completed the face-squeezing settings, controlled the game characters with brainwave signals, and quickly completed the experience in the novice village.

Then, he was taken away from the Earth Star by cultivators outside the starry sky using a teleportation array.

After a violent shaking, the players came to the first stop in the extraterrestrial starry sky - Fengyuanxing, and embarked on the road of cultivating immortals.

The exquisite high-definition game screen and the beautiful extraterrestrial starry sky let them immerse themselves in it immediately.

After about half an hour, under the urging of the staff, these old players reluctantly put down the Dream game cabin.

It is not difficult to see from everyone's expressions that this game has successfully captured the hearts of players.

Not many people can resist holographic and ultra-realistic VR games.

"Mr. Chen, I arranged a table of Huizhou cuisine at a nearby hotel at noon, and I must appreciate it and let me do my best as a landlord.

Otherwise, let Lao Zhang know that I didn't even invite you for lunch when you passed by Hangzhou, and I will definitely be stingy. "

Ding Sanshi extended the warm invitation and did not forget to move out of Zhang Chaoyang.

"Boss Ding, you're welcome, then I'll stop bothering you."

Chen Heyu smiled and nodded in response.

A group of people got in the car, drove away from Xiangyi headquarters, and drove towards the luxury restaurant not far away.

Fueled by the media, the news of the launch of "Misty Journey" instantly hit the entire Internet, and players waited anxiously for the release time to come.

the other side.

Within a few days, the Penguin game also launched an overwhelming publicity, "Cross Fire VR Edition" will be released on November 11.

at the same time.

Ren Tian Tang launches the VR special edition of "Mario Brothers", claiming to allow users to experience the joy of entering the three-dimensional animation world;
Yidian will release "Need for Speed" in December, driving the world's most luxurious sports car directly in the game world;
Kacompu promotes its own VR game of the same name "Resident Evil" to feel the tension of fighting monsters;
Baiweier is about to release the VR version of "Star Wars". This popular IP has a large number of fans in the North Berry market;
……

For a while, the number of games on the Dream game platform increased dramatically, and then this was just the first batch of new games.

You must know that Future Technology has signed contracts with more than 60 game makers around the world. In the spring of 2017, more games will be launched one after another.

Seeing this situation, more and more media named 2016 "the first year of VR games"!
But they don't know that the subversion of the game industry has just begun!
