Chapter 59 Cow shit chip

"Giant Group will invest 500 million yuan to officially enter the health care products industry!"

“Giant’s boss declared that health products will be one of Giant’s most important industries, and Giant Group will complete its listing next year!”

"Foreign brand computers are coming with force, and the market share of domestic computer brands has dropped to 22%!"

“Many domestic computer brands have announced cooperation with overseas brands. Great Wall is the agent for IBM computers, Founder is the agent for DEC computers, and Sitong is the agent for Compaq. Dell, HP, Apple and other computer brands have also announced that they have reached cooperation with domestic dealers. Agency Agreement!”

In a company in Yanjing that develops color printing, Wang Jizhi looked at the newspaper in his hand and flipped through several copies in succession. They were almost the same. Many domestic technology companies, facing the menacing foreign companies, either avoided fighting and transformed into In other fields, you can either choose to join if you can't beat it, and no longer make self-branded computers, but act as agents for those foreign brand computers.

This is not only the computer industry, but also other industries. As long as foreign brands enter any industry, domestic brands in any industry will be immediately beaten and abandoned, and even directly give up the market.

Nokia and Siemens have seized the domestic communications industry, killing many domestic communications brands. Only Chrysanthemum Factory still insists on independent research and development of communications equipment. The rest of the domestic communications giants who were famous in the past are all acting very low-key at this time. .

In addition, aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles, cameras, TV giants such as Boeing, Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, Sony, and Kodak have entered the country, which has also caused a dimensionality reduction blow.

Procter & Gamble, Whirlpool, SC Johnson, etc. entered the country and used various means to defeat or hide the old domestic products Snowflake, Narcissus, and Maxam, and quickly occupied the market.

As for the soda beverage industry, the performance is even more obvious. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have cleared a number of well-established domestic beverages such as Tianfu Cola, Arctic Ocean, Asia Soda, Bawangsi Soda, and Laoshan Coke. There are almost no domestic soda drinks on the market. .

Since last year, foreign brands have begun to attack the domestic market, and this year it has become even more obvious. However, whether it is in electronics, home appliances, automobiles, beverages, food and other industries, few domestic companies dare to resist in the face of the onslaught of foreign brands.

Under such circumstances, it’s no wonder that Tanglin High-tech caused such a big sensation after defeating Silver Sable Mouse in America. All other brands were running away, but only Dongling High-tech held up the sword of Silver Sable and still stood in the way. , and today it has invested so much money in research and development, it naturally appears to be unique in the domestic technology industry.

After reading a few newspapers, Wang Jizhi couldn't help but sigh. He is one of the highest-ranking figures in the domestic technology industry. He was once the chief engineer of Stone Group. He led the development of the 2401 printer independently developed by Stone Group. It has become a cash cow for Stone Group and is quite advanced among similar Japanese benzene products.

Wang Jizhi also introduced a technical expert named Qiu Bojun to Stone Group. Later he joined a company called Jinshan. In the future, Qiu Bojun will become the boss of someone who shouts "are you ok", just like in the academic circle , the technology industry also has inheritance and circles!

However, before Stone Group went public, Wang Jizhi had a falling out with the management over issues such as salary and R&D funding. He had a strong personality and could not get rid of the dirt in his eyes. He looked down on those who formed cliques and gave gifts to build relationships. In the end, It ended with resignation, and Sitong didn't get any shares.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Wang Jizhi shook his head. He felt that the current domestic technology companies were not as good as when he faced the Japanese benzene company. At that time, he dared to lead people to develop printers to fight against the Japanese benzene products. Although Sitong They also did not support his research and development, and the research and development funds given to him were less than 0.3% of revenue, but he still did it.

But now those companies don't even dare to fight, they just run away, which makes him shake his head.

Just when he was about to put down the newspaper, a piece of news from the Yanjing Daily that was reprinted to the "Hanxi Provincial Daily" attracted his attention.

"Donngling High-tech invested 5 million to establish a joint laboratory with Hanxi Jiaotong University, and will spend % of its profits on research and development every year in the future..."

When he saw these words, Wang Jizhi couldn't help but perked up. He had heard the name of Tanglin High-tech and knew that it had a lawsuit with Microsoft, but he didn't pay attention to it at that time. But this time, he saw that Tanglin High-tech had invested so much in it. Research and development made him completely remember Dongling Hi-Tech.

You know, there are so many domestic technology companies, many of which make more money than Dongling Hi-tech, but this is the first time that Wang Jizhi is willing to make such a big splash and invest so much money in research and development.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Wang Jizhi felt a little itchy but also a little helpless. He was now co-founding a company with others, but after coming out of Stone Group, Wang Jizhi felt that he was suitable for research and development, but not for management.

He established several companies in succession, or cooperated with other people, and there were two or three companies, but in the end they all broke up. Compared with when he was at Sitong, Wang Jizhi's career was almost a roller coaster, rising all the way, and then falling... …

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Wang Jizhi really felt that if Tanglin Hi-tech's joint laboratory could develop printers, he would really be willing to close the current company and leave. But what kind of business Tanglin Hi-Tech does now, he has no idea. He didn't know what would happen if he went there rashly, and Wang Jizhi was not sure either, which made him a little hesitant.

Not only Wang Jizhi saw this news, but also in the office of the chief engineer of another computer brand company in Yanjing, a thin man in his fifties who was selected as the first batch of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering saw The news about the establishment of a joint laboratory by Tanglin Hi-Tech made me couldn't help but slap the table.

In the current domestic technology industry, Academician Ni couldn't help but feel a little envious that Dongling Hi-Tech dared to invest so much money in research and development.

Thinking about his current situation again, he couldn't help but sigh. Now, within the company, there is a conflict over whether to develop chips or not, and they are divided into two groups. However, most executives tend to support the other side and let There was nothing he could do.

Due to the previous popularity, the news of Tanglin High-tech’s establishment of a joint laboratory was quickly reported and reprinted by various media.

However, both the technology industry and the outside world are actually talking about Donglin Hi-tech's spending so much money to build laboratories and engage in research and development.

Some people say that Tanglin Hi-tech is just trying to gain fame and reputation. Now other technology companies are buying overseas technology or buying parts and components for assembly. Donglin Hi-tech is independent. It spends so much money on research and development, and the technology it develops is not as good as before. It must be comparable to foreign countries. What are you trying to do? Isn’t this just trying to gain fame? ! “I believe that the domestic technology industry should not operate behind closed doors, but should open its eyes to see the world. The whole world is a whole, and each place is assigned a different division of labor. Under this system, everyone can make money.

I have also heard that some companies want to engage in independent research and development, but I want to say that independent research and development is not suitable for the current domestic market. The most important thing now is to survive, not to engage in those weird research and development!

I can’t figure out why you should spend ten, fifty, or even more money to develop something that costs only one dollar when you can use it! "

In an interview with the media, Wang Tianan, the boss of Tiancheng Trading Company, the largest electronic trade import and export company in China, responded with disdain for the establishment of a joint laboratory by Tanglin Hi-Tech.

I think that Donglin Hi-Tech has gained some fame and started to float around. It's just a fool's errand. Wouldn't it be nice to use the money as dividends to buy a car, buy a house, or invest in stocks, real estate, or speculate in futures? Instead of throwing money into a bottomless pit of research and development. There wasn't even a hair left inside.

Wang Tianan's trading company is mainly an import agent for computers and other electronic components, that is, it imports overseas computer components into the country and sells them to other computer manufacturers and dealers. It has made a lot of money over the years.

But the emergence of the Silver Sable mouse made Wang Tianan feel very uncomfortable. Since the Silver Sable mouse was introduced, all the mice he imported from overseas, including Logitech, were piled in the warehouse and could no longer be sold.

Wang Tianan didn't care about the small amount of money he lost, but what he was worried about was that if domestic technology companies really developed their own products, then who would he sell the parts and components he bought from abroad? Isn't this nonsense? He deeply abhors Dongling Hi-Tech's establishment of a joint laboratory and will severely criticize it. He would rather dismantle the joint laboratory!

When the media was still arguing about whether it was necessary for Donglin Hi-tech to establish a joint laboratory, Li Dongling came to the door of the joint laboratory listed.

Dongling Hi-Tech bought a piece of land not far away from Hanxi Jiaotong University for the construction of a joint laboratory of the R&D center. However, it took time to complete the laboratory, so the joint laboratory temporarily borrowed the three-story building of Hanxi Jiaotong University. The first floor is used as a laboratory.

Entering the joint laboratory site and pushing the door open, Li Dongling saw Han Qianyi and Liu Youguo directing a group of teachers and students who were busy cleaning the room and moving experimental equipment.

In the early stage of the joint laboratory, Dongling Hi-Tech paid for it and Hanxi Jiaotong University sent people to jointly develop products and experiments.

"This is the first project entrusted by Tanglin Hi-Tech to the joint laboratory. I hope it can be developed as soon as possible. Tanglin Hi-Tech is going to launch new products, which is also related to how much funding the joint laboratory can get next year!"

Arriving at an office, Li Dongling handed Han Qianyi the design of the electronic pet machine he had made overnight.

Liu Youguo came up and saw the motherboard chip design drawing with Han Qianyi. Both of them had expressions of disgust on their faces, "Cow shit chip?!"

The structure of the electronic pet machine is very simple. It basically consists of a few things, a plastic shell, a screen, buttons, an internal motherboard, and a button battery. The only technical difficulty is the core motherboard and chip of the entire electronic pet machine.

The motherboard and chip that Li Dongling plans to use for the electronic pet machine are cow dung chips. The biggest feature of this kind of chip is... cheap!

That kind of motherboard has a black lump in the middle, which is basically a bonding chip, or a cow shit chip. This kind of chip is not beautiful at all, and the industrial design is beautiful, but it doesn't exist at all. The main reasons are that it has a short research and development cycle, low technical requirements, low manufacturing process, and low cost. It can be found in electronic watches, calculators, electronic toys, etc.

"This chip will be used in a new product of Dongling Hi-tech. I hope the joint laboratory can develop it as soon as possible." Li Dongling said to Han Qianyi and Liu Youguo.

"One month!"

Liu Youguo thought for a moment, "I will take people to get it out in a month at most, but the funds must be sufficient!"

"I will also ask other technical staff in the hospital and the school to help with research and development!"

Han Qianyi also said that this was the first cooperation between the two parties, and it also related to whether the joint laboratory could continue in the future. He had to treat it carefully. These days, big companies like Dongling Hi-Tech that are willing to spend money for research and development are really Not seen often.

"If the research and development can be successful and the new product generates good profits, Dongling High-tech will also provide bonuses to the personnel involved in the research and development of Hanxi Jiaotong University, and will also provide a donation to Hanxi Jiaotong University!"

Li Dongling wants Hanxi Jiaotong University to join Dongling Hi-Tech's chariot through the joint laboratory, and let Hanxi Jiaotong University know that as long as it helps Dongling Hi-tech develop good things, Hanxi Jiaotong University and its R&D personnel can also get rich rewards. , in this way a community of interests can be formed.

No matter how much lip service is used, there is no real money. As long as the people involved in the research and development of products for Dongling High-tech can get bonuses, and Hanxi Jiaotong University can get donations, then Li Dongling doesn’t have to waste words. They will also try their best to help Dongling Hi-Tech in research and development. Who will have trouble with "their" money? !

In Dongling Hi-Tech Electronics Industrial Park, with multiple construction teams working day and night, the prototype of the simple factory building in the industrial park has begun to appear, and it is expected that it will be put into use in a short time.

On the other side, various production equipment and production lines are also continuously brought to the industrial park, and they are ready to start installing production lines and other equipment after the simple factory building is completed.

On the right hand side after entering Tanglin Hi-Tech Industrial Park, there is a sign with three characters "Recruitment Office" erected, and many people are queuing up.

Song Yajun, an old scalper from the technical department of Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1, peered inside, hesitant to go in.
