Yang Qing knows Xia Guo's technology industry very well. Of course, he also knows that Xia Xin International has set up a factory in Shanghai, and he also knows Xia Xin International's current chip level.
Even if Xiaxin International can produce some chips, these chips can only be used in some simple mechanical equipment and cannot be used in high-end PCs.
Yang Qing judged that in the next thirty years, the field of PC chips will still be dominated by Intel and AMD.
Yang Qing feels that the information obtained now is very important.
Now that the relevant departments in the United States have started negotiations with Intel, requiring future Ben 4 chips to no longer support carbon crystal memory, then carbon crystal memory is definitely doomed!
The fact that the motherboard does not support it is just the beginning. If the chips do not support it, the carbon crystal memory will be doomed.
Yang Qing does not think that Chen Xiao has the power to improve the Pentium 4 chip to adapt to carbon crystal memory.
After thinking about this principle clearly, Yang Qing quickly made a judgment.
The most important reason for Lianxiang's success is that it can obtain American chips, motherboards, memory and other products.
Lianxiang called Director Liao from the Group Strategy Department and asked about the progress of negotiations between Lianxiang and Changtian Technology.
Minister Liao said: "Currently, our negotiations with Changtian Technology are going relatively smoothly. The other party has agreed to sell 512M and below carbon crystal memory to us, but there is still no way to deal with 1G carbon crystal memory, because Changtian Technology and Shen
The ship signed an exclusive supply contract.”
Minister Liao held a notebook in his hand, opened it and said: "But we still have some differences on the price."
"We hope to be able to supply products to us at Shenzhou's supply price, but Changtian Technology insists on supplying us with a 15% discount on the market price. As a result, our products have almost no price advantage compared with Shenzhou."
When Yang Qing heard this, he was a little angry and couldn't help complaining: "All Shenchuan series are focused on cost-effectiveness. How can we compare prices with them?"
Minister Liao was a little embarrassed, "Then, what Mr. Yang means..."
Yang Qing took a sip of tea and looked out the window.
He believes that those partners in the United States must be watching him.
If we continue to negotiate with Changtian Technology now, it will be troublesome to obtain hardware products in the United States in the future.
Yang Qing made a decisive decision and said: "You should take a rest during this period, book a flight to Wanwan Province the day after tomorrow, go see ASUS and Gigabyte, and discuss whether the two companies can produce the new generation of motherboard technology in mainland China. We will
Lianxiang can also be a motherboard foundry. If the other party provides the technology, we can produce it at a low cost."
After the establishment of Shenchuan, Lianxiang was very passive due to its extremely cost-effective products.
Reducing costs and allowing PC products to be accepted by more consumers is indeed Lianxiang's top priority.
When Yang Qing said this, Minister Liao became anxious.
Lianxiang and Changtian Technology have been talking for so long, and the whole process has been very difficult. Or is it because of the coordination of the relevant leaders of the Xia Academy of Sciences that they made a big breakthrough, and now they are not talking about it?
Minister Liao quickly said: "Mr. Yang, we are about to conclude the negotiation here. Are you sure you want to terminate the negotiation now?"
Yang Qing nodded and said, "Terminate the negotiation."
Minister Liao still wanted to speak, and Yang Qingzhu analyzed the reason.
When he learned that Intel might also ban carbon crystal memory, Minister Liao fell silent.
If the United States really does this, the survival situation of Changtian Technology will be extremely worsened.
In the future, carbon crystal memory will only support older motherboards and chips, but users of these older products are basically not financially well-off. Who will use Changtian Technology's products?
Minister Liao swallowed his saliva and said, "Mr. Yang, is this news public information, or was it obtained through our channels?"
Minister Liao had just asked this question, and he understood it as soon as he looked at Yang Qing's eyes.
Minister Liao thought about the situation of Changtian Technology and endured it again and again, but couldn't help but said: "Do we need to report the relevant situation to Changtian Technology?"
Minister Liao made it very clear that if you don’t look at Shenchuan, there is no competitive relationship between Lianxiang and Changtian Technology, and they can even cooperate.
Now the difficulties facing Changtian Technology are obviously much more serious than what everyone thought. Minister Liao's personal feelings are that he should help. This not only involves the survival of Changtian Technology, but also involves the Xiaguo technology industry chain.
of survival.
In fact, Minister Liao still reserved his opinion on Lian Xiang's focus on commerce and his contempt for scientific research.
Little did he know that Yang Qing did not adopt Minister Liao's advice and said: "Old Liao, you go and do your work first."
Minister Liao was about to say something, but after seeing the look in Yang Qing's eyes, he chose to shut up.
From now on, Minister Liao will have two days of vacation and will then go on a business trip to the Wanwan area.
After returning home, Minister Liao went online to circumvent the wall and watched overseas news.
In the science and technology news column, whether it is BB, the New York Times, or the Wall Street Journal, there are overwhelming reports that motherboard manufacturers in the Wanwan area will use the new DDR memory interface, and the new motherboards will not support carbon dioxide.
Crystal memory.
The news also commented that motherboard manufacturers are actually doing this to cooperate with the upgrades of memory manufacturers, and to prevent Changtian Technology's memory products from further spreading to the OME market.
The entire news report did not mention the attitude of chip companies such as Intel.
It can be seen that the news Yang Qing received should have come from his own channels, and it should be true.
Minister Liao smoked a cigarette and entered relevant domestic portals and forums.
Sure enough, websites like Xinlang Technology, Souhu and other websites were also forwarded to Western media with news about ASUS and Gigabyte's motherboard upgrades, and they were worried about the situation of Changtian Technology.
In some domestic forums, many netizens discussed and commented on this incident.
Netizens in Xia Guo are more optimistic. After all, Changtian Technology has taken the lead in launching 1G memory, and its performance should be better than certain memory newly launched by companies such as Micron Kingston.
Netizens are mainly worried that when new users buy computers in one or two years, or old users change computers, they will definitely buy a new motherboard. If the motherboard at that time does not support carbon crystal memory, it would be a pity.
However, there is another powerful voice on the forum - "Mi Chui"
This type of people compare 1g memory from brands such as Micron and Changtian Technology's 1g memory.
The comparison is mainly based on the memory's security, stability, international acceptance, and recognition by relevant U.S. departments and industry associations.
Finally came to a very great conclusion.
In the future, the 1G memory of Micron, Kingston and other brands on the market will definitely be more reliable than the carbon crystal memory of Changtian Technology.
These people called on users to keep their eyes open and choose old and well-known brands such as Micron and Kingston. They also emphasized that users’ money does not fall from the sky and they hope that users can make careful choices.
Seeing this, Minister Liao couldn't sit still anymore. He took out his mobile phone and called Wang Xiang.
