After hearing the approximate income given by Mr. Ren from Warwick, Xu Chuan smiled, nodded, and said, "One hundred and eighty billion is not bad."
For him, taking this opportunity to make some money from the stock and securities markets in the United States, Europe and other places can only be said to be incidental.
Although the figure of 180 billion meters of gold sounds exaggerated, and even the annual GDP of many countries does not have this figure, to him, it is really nothing.
Not to mention other things, I don’t know how many times this number is in the shares of Fusion Energy Power.
There are also technologies and patents he has mastered, such as lithium batteries, carbon nanomaterials, high-temperature/room-temperature superconductivity, etc., which are difficult to measure in terms of money alone.
To be honest, pure cash is the least valuable thing among the wealth he controls.
After all, there are many things in this world that cannot be bought with money.
But on the contrary, if it is to exchange technology for technology, it can be done.
For example, when he was studying controllable nuclear fusion technology in the early years, he used high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials, supplemented by some funds, to trade the ASDEX fusion device from the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics.
of.
For a country, this cutting-edge technology is always more valuable than money.
Pure money is the most useless thing.
Opposite the sofa, Ren Zhengfei smiled bitterly... One hundred and eighty billion meters of gold, not bad...
I guess only the person in front of me in the whole world can say this.
Not to mention for individuals or companies, even for superpowers like China and the United States, 180 billion yuan is still a huge amount of money.
If there is a chance to obtain this level of funds, no country can resist doing so.
It is also because of this huge change in the semiconductor field and the last technological breakthrough in the field of controllable nuclear fusion that they were able to draw such huge benefits from the stock market and securities market only if they were well prepared.
This kind of opportunity is rare in the world, not even a few times in a century.
After all, this was achieved at the expense of the decline of traditional chemical energy and the silicon-based semiconductor industry.
Other times, if you want to make such a huge amount of money in the stock market and securities market, you can't even think about it or even dare to do it in your dreams.
Even Soros, a giant in the financial world, cannot achieve such a "brilliant" record.
He does not have such ability, let alone such ability, and does not have such funds.
Xu Chuan, on the other hand, didn't care about these things at all.
Smiling, he continued: "Mr. Ren, the transaction processing in the stock market and securities market is going to be very troublesome this time."
"No, no, Academician Xu, please don't say that."
Hearing this, Ren Zhengfei came back to his senses and said with a smile: "If you hadn't been willing to take us with you, Warwick wouldn't have had such an opportunity."
Whether it is carbon-based chips or making money from the stock market and securities market this time, the opportunities are indeed brought by Xu Chuan.
Although he did not earn as much as the person in front of him, the income that Warwick and he personally earned from the stock market this time can be said to be a huge amount.
Taking advantage of the fall of the silicon-based semiconductor field, Warwick's income is at least the total net profit of the past ten years or more.
The subsequent expansion and development in the field of carbon-based semiconductors can also bring huge markets and benefits.
Coupled with the wealth gained from the stock market this time, Warwick can lead other manufacturers and complete its deployment in the field of carbon-based chips and carbon-based semiconductors.
Without Xu Chuan, they would not have had this opportunity.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are more opportunities to make money. This fluctuation in the silicon-based chip market is just the beginning."
"The two papers published by "Exploration" are just the beginning. When we officially disclose the finished carbon-based chips, the market related to silicon-based chips may collapse even faster."
"Discovery" published these two papers related to carbon-based chips. To the whole world, it is like holding a pen to test the water and learn half of the depth.
Or to put it simply, before officially putting a product into the market, first test the market's acceptance of the product and conduct a public opinion survey.
The two papers published by "Exploration" do exactly this.
But now it seems that the sensation caused by "Exploration" is much greater than expected.
What was originally just a test of the waters directly led to the semi-collapse of the silicon-based semiconductor market.
Overnight, the market value of top companies in the silicon-based semiconductor field such as Qualcomm, Nvidia, Intel, Apple, and AMD lost more than one-third.
Although they were behind this and fanned the flames, to be honest, Xu Chuan did not expect that just two papers could cause such drastic fluctuations before seeing the official finished product.
Although he knew in advance that the "Exploration" paper would have an impact on the silicon-based chip and silicon-based semiconductor markets when it was released, he really didn't expect it to be so big.
If he had known earlier, he would have taken out all the money he had in the bank.
After all, one hundred billion, even if the unit is rice gold, is not all of his savings.
Although at his level, money is just a number in a bank card, but who would dislike having more money?
If he earns an extra 100 billion, maybe he can build an extra Mars city of his own on Mars in the future, or develop some other products in the field of scientific research?
As for the money, it’s not too much anyway.
Ren Zhengfei laughed and said: "There will indeed be many opportunities to make money in the future."
"But for us, making money is the secondary purpose! With the help of this carbon-based chip, our mission is to redefine the entire semiconductor industry chain and break the technical barriers that Western countries have against us!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "With the superior performance of carbon-based chips, I believe this day will come soon!"
While smiling, Ren Zhengfei also felt a little emotional.
He has been waiting for this day for decades!
The ups and downs that Warwick suffered were not his own.
Fortunately, in this era, he, Warwick, and even the country of China have ushered in the dawn of hope.
When they break through the biggest technical barrier in the semiconductor field, there will no longer be any shackles in the world that can hinder their take-off!
.......
When Xu Chuan and Ren Zhengfei were relaxing and chatting.
Outside of China, almost every country in the world that can be spoken of is doing the same thing!
That is to study the two latest publications of the "Exploration" journal, "Exploration·General Issue" and "Exploration·Materials"!
Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, California, USA.
In this huge office building, which can even be called a high-rise building in a group of buildings, people are coming and going in a hurry.
The sudden release of two papers related to carbon-based chips from China's "Exploration" journal can be described as a stab in the waist for Intel, the dominant player in the semiconductor industry.
More importantly, these two papers were signed by the famous Professor Xu Chuan.
No one knows whether carbon-based chips have really been completed, and no one knows when the end of silicon-based chips and silicon-based semiconductors will come.
In the headquarters building, in a certain conference room, an emergency meeting is being held.
Intel's president, chief engineer, chief designer, head of the business department, head of the design department... Here, you can see most of Intel's various executives that you can't usually see at all.
There are even members of Congress.
Intel has held several meetings like this in the past few days.
"Jim, regarding the two papers published in Discovery, when will the results be available? Can carbon-based chip technology really do what is described above? What is the status of China's research on carbon-based chips?
To what extent? You must give me the answer today!"
In the conference room, Intel President Pat Gelsinger looked at Chief Engineer Jim Keller sitting aside and asked with an expressionless face.
In the chip field, Jim Keller has a high reputation, and Intel spent a lot of money to invite him.
This chief engineer once helped Tesla build self-driving chips, and has also held important positions in AMD, Apple and other companies.
Hearing this question, Chief Engineer Jim Keller had a headache and twisted the bridge of his sore nose. The crazy overtime work in the past few days has made him unable to bear it anymore, and he is quite exhausted both mentally and physically.
After taking a deep breath and forcibly cheering up, he looked at Pat Gelsinger, shook his head and said, "Honestly, I don't know."
"have no idea?"
Jim Keller sighed, and said with a headache: "If we just rely on the two papers published in the journal Discovery, it is actually difficult for us to judge the other party's development on carbon-based chips."
"In terms of style, we compared the previous papers of Professor Xu Chuan and can confirm that the two papers published in the latest general issue and the material issue of "Discovery" were written by him personally."
"With his academic ability, it is almost impossible for us to find some usable information from him."
"As for whether China can really achieve the carbon-based chip described in the paper..."
After a pause, he looked at Pat Gelsinger and continued: "In my personal opinion, there is a high probability that it can be done."
"At least, there is no doubt about the technology of high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays."
"As for whether high-performance carbon-based chips based on high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays have finished products, it remains to be discussed."
"But from the perspective of a chip designer, if the biggest problem of high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays is solved in the field of carbon-based chips, then it will be a matter of time before a complete carbon-based chip can be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Pat Gelsinger quickly asked: "If it is based on this, how long do we have?"
Jim Keller rubbed his temples and thought for a while before replying: "The design and preparation of chips is a very complicated task."
"High-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays are the biggest problem in the research process of carbon-based chips, but other difficulties cannot be underestimated."
"When China can develop, design and manufacture carbon-based chips with commercial value, it depends on the funds and resources invested in it."
"In the field of low-end chips, at least in terms of chip research and development below the 28-nanometer process, they have a fairly complete industrial chain."
"If we take the 28-nanometer chip process research and development as the limit, I'm afraid the time left for us is only about two years at most."
"If China mobilizes resources to complete the research and development of carbon-based chips, then this time may be shortened by at least half."
Two years, shortened by half.
Hearing this answer, Intel's president couldn't help but throw his head in the face.
Now that the core problem of carbon-based chips, the high-density integrated carbon nanotube array, has been solved, whether China will concentrate its domestic production resources to cooperate in the research and development of carbon-based chips is a question that can be answered with just one's toes.
According to Jim Keller's speculation, the longest time left for them is only one year.
One year is enough to do something?
There was silence in the conference room. At this moment, Michelle Johnston, the head of the business unit and vice president of Intel, who was sitting opposite, suddenly spoke in a low tone.
"Maybe... the situation is worse than we currently think."
After hearing this, everyone looked over. The expression on the face of this vice president with 25 years of experience in Intel was not very good-looking.
She said in a low tone and with some frustration: "According to the information we have obtained before, more than a year ago, Warwick was no longer satisfied with chip design and began to get involved in the upstream of the industry chain."
"And in 2024, China has also specially developed the third largest semiconductor industry chain after controllable nuclear fusion and aerospace industry."
"At the beginning, we all thought that this third largest semiconductor industry chain was aimed at the development of silicon-based chips and silicon-based semiconductors."
"After all, the mature semiconductor industry currently on the market only has silicon-based materials."
"But now when I look back and think about it carefully, maybe the third largest semiconductor industry chain they opened last year was to prepare for carbon-based chips."
"Perhaps they had already made a breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology earlier, but they have only made it public now."
After hearing Michelle Johns' analysis, the conference room fell into a state of panic.
If there is still a year left for them, even though it is short, Intel can still find ways to solve and overcome this difficulty.
But if China has now developed a carbon-based chip with commercial value, then the only possibility they face is a complete defeat.
