Chapter 1778 Invisible Obstruction

Before talking to Chuck, Fidel wanted to continue investigating the domestic wood processing industry in Rabbit. Because this industry is relatively simple, but also involves various aspects such as circulation and sales, it is a good investigation sample.

But after learning that Rabbit might make a major breakthrough in the semiconductor industry, Fidel immediately adjusted his research direction - compared to irrelevant wood processing, reports on the semiconductor industry are obviously more likely to arouse the reading interest of senior domestic executives.

After Fidel checked into the hotel, he looked for recent reports on the Rabbit semiconductor industry. Sure enough, he found that the official media seemed to be building momentum for industry breakthroughs. The official media reported on the technological progress of several domestic research institutes, as well as new wafer fabs and related

The layout of the industrial chain.

Fidel didn't know much about technology, but he could find professionals for consultation. Chuck helped him contact an expert in the semiconductor industry - a senior manager at Samsung's R&D center in Shanghai.

The two parties met at a coffee shop on the Bund. In response to Fidel's question, the director of Nanbang said in a deep voice after being polite: "We have always paid the greatest attention to Rabbit's development in semiconductors."

Rabbit imports more than 200 billion US dollars of semiconductor chips every year, making it the world's largest importer of chips. This is also Rabbit's largest import item every year, surpassing oil and iron ore. How many people around the world rely on Rabbit's market to make a living?

, it won’t work if you don’t pay attention.

"So is Rabbit's semiconductor industry really going to become the world's best?" Fidel asked.

In response to this question, the director of Nanbang laughed and shook his head, "No, no, it's not that easy. We at Nanbang have spent more than 40 years developing the semiconductor industry, investing a huge amount of manpower and financial resources, as well as the technology of Yingjiang's father.

Transfers and support have allowed us to achieve our current results.

The semiconductor industry of Rabbit has only been developing for more than ten years, and it is impossible to catch up in one step. The news released by Rabbit recently is indeed confusing, but we judge that it may be just propaganda."

The chain of the semiconductor industry is very long, from chip design to chip production to chip application. Each field is subdivided again. The companies and people involved are extremely large, and the complexity is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

In the past, even small countries like Belgium could succeed in developing industry. That was because the early industrial categories were still very limited, and there were not many researchers and skilled workers needed.

But modern industry is too complex. Without a population of tens or hundreds of millions, we can't hope to support a strong country.

"And it's not enough to have a population, you also need a high-quality population. You must know that the technology of Rabbit's semiconductor industry is currently in the hands of outsiders. The mainstream market has reached the 14-nanometer process, but they have not even mastered the 28-nanometer process.

.”

The director of Nanbang said this with sufficient confidence. Nanbang has been able to make all the difference in the semiconductor field in recent years because they have enough talent reserves. Rabbit is still in the initial stage of development.

It’s just that Fidel didn’t come to listen to the bragging of Nanbang’s director. He pointed out some facts unceremoniously, “Have you underestimated Rabbit’s development speed and determination in the semiconductor industry? You also thought the same about the display industry back then, right?

?”

This was a mistake. Supervisor Nan Bang’s expression immediately stiffened. You must know that LCD screens were also a big item among Rabbit’s imported goods back then. Japan and South Korea made a lot of money in this industry. Counting the banknotes

The days were so exciting.

As a result, Rabbit entered the market, and over the past ten years it has brought down the price of LCD screens by an order of magnitude. Footbath has basically withdrawn from this industry, and only one company in the country is lingering. And Nanbang is also struggling to support itself, trying every means to expand

The skills gap makes life very hard.

By the way, Rabbit’s patents and technology on LCD screens were first obtained from the acquisition of a Nanbang company. Now everyone in Nanbang regrets it and wants to vomit blood - others are 'teaching apprentices to starve to death as masters', and teaching Rabbit

You want me to have no bones left.

The issue of LCD screens is irrefutable, but Director Nanbang still maintains confidence in the chip industry, "We will not make the same mistake again, and we must absolutely block Rabbit technically. We already have a very good

preventive solution."

Technical blockade? This trick is useful for others, but it may not be useful for rabbits. Fidel felt that the Nanban manager in front of him was not telling the truth. He frowned and said: "I have checked some information in the past few days, and it seems that the technology of blocking rabbits,

On the contrary, rabbits are doing well."

Fidel gave a casual example. When the set-top box came out, its chips were imported from abroad. Not only were they expensive, but they were not something you could buy if you wanted. The agents who acted as compradors were all very good, and they could not sell them.

It depends on your mood.

Later, Huawei copied the imported chips. The performance was extremely poor and there were so many peripheral components. But it was such a bad thing that it forced the price of imported products to drop. In a few years, when the technology matures, set-top boxes can be given away casually.

Don't mention the price.

Rabbit has done this kind of job-killing thing a lot, and he has turned a gold mine-like industry into a black brick kiln at every turn. How many people hate him, are afraid of him, and curse him?

"We are different now. The design and manufacturing of high-end chips is our core business. This industry cannot be compromised." Director Nanbang said very decisively, gritting his teeth every word. It seems to be true.

You must risk your life to protect the interests of your own industry.

Nanbang people have very extreme personalities, their arrogance and arrogance are visible, and they have a spirit of bloody courage.

At the end of the Korean War, they had good combat effectiveness under the training and equipment of the Americans. They also put a lot of effort into developing the economy, and they did not give in even when faced with the behemoth of the rabbit.

Nanbang's once advantageous shipbuilding industry has been robbed of a piece of fat by rabbits, and now it will never be willing to accept the semiconductor industry being robbed again.

Fidel heard something in the words of the Nanbao Supervisor, but he obviously didn't say it completely. He smiled lightly and said: "I am a researcher in the Asia-Pacific region of the RAND Corporation. You should know that the report I wrote will appear in the offices of senior American personnel.

On the table. Maybe it would be beneficial for you to reveal some information to me."

For the South, the American emperor is the father. Without the American father, the North would have come to unify the peninsula long ago - regardless of whether they can win or not, Seoul and the whole area will definitely be finished.

The questioned Nanban director was only embarrassed for a few seconds, and finally revealed the core plan they had formulated to fight against the rabbits - the technical blockade may not be effective, but what about the industrial alliance?

The semiconductor industries of Japan, South Korea and a certain southeastern island have united to squeeze the living space of rabbit-related industries.

"Will this work?" Fidel was very doubtful.

"Our cooperation with Rabbit's companies in the past was mainly based on cost considerations, but now that we have received government subsidies, we can tolerate higher costs and lower profits. We must suppress Rabbit's plan to develop the semiconductor industry this time. We must suppress it.

Must, must, must!”

Even after saying "must" several times, Manager Nan Bang's face turned red. It felt like "if you don't succeed, you will die". If they can't defeat the rabbit, they will not live.

Fidel was somewhat looking forward to this.
