Every year, billions of dollars of R&D funds are invested in the chip field. Which projects are invested in?
Among them;
Basic research on central microprocessors including silicon crystal materials and process technology, research on stacked large-capacity memory chips, large-capacity flash memory chips, design and research of a wide variety of application chips, research and development of chip manufacturing equipment, and research on AI smart chips, advanced
OLCD liquid crystal panels, flexible OLCD panel materials, and cutting-edge database and supercomputer research.
There are a total of ten major projects, hundreds of scientific and technological research projects, and even more subdivided projects.
Although it seems that there are many research projects, under overall planning, gratifying results have been achieved in various fields.
The most cutting-edge CPU architecture design, silicon crystal materials, databases and AI smart chip research projects are mostly placed in Silicon Valley laboratories. Silicon Valley can use the intellectual resources gathered around the world and advanced high-end R&D capabilities to continuously achieve breakthroughs.
As for research on lower-level topics, such as 65-nanometer advanced process technology, research on stacked large-capacity memory chips, and research on large-capacity flash memory chips, most of them are placed at the Zhongguancun Institute of Science and Technology.
While training the team, a large number of Chinese scientists with outstanding abilities emerged.
Key research projects that require a large amount of scientific research personnel, such as;
A wide variety of application chip design and research, chip manufacturing equipment research and development, etc. are placed in the Shenzhen Future Science and Technology Park, using abundant human resources to make breakthroughs one by one in the spirit of ants eating elephants.
Seoul Science and Technology Research Institute focuses on the design and manufacturing of new-generation LCD panel production lines, advanced OLCD LCD panels, and flexible OLCD panel materials. It works closely with domestic research institutes to continuously achieve new achievements.
Jinling Technology Research Institute focuses on the field of software, especially the development of a wide variety of enterprise application software, personal computer application software, etc. based on the mobile Android system owned by Red Hat Systems.
The five major research institutes each have their own expertise and focus under the coordination of the consortium headquarters, which completely eliminates meaningless duplication of research and waste of funds, and is conducive to forming a joint effort to compete in the market.
In today's world database market, Oracle of the United States is the undisputed overlord, occupying most of the world's government and enterprise markets.
The field of enterprise-level and personal database servers is a key area that the consortium must enter.
This is commonly known as "cloud service", including Amazon Cloud, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud, which are all nicknames for database servers.
This database market is the future development direction. It can provide cloud services, cloud databases, cloud security, cloud enterprise application services, big data and AI intelligent services and other scenarios. Accurately customize scenario-based enterprise service solutions, which is the development of future network technology.
direction.
in a few years
If a person in the network technology field does not include a few words about enterprise cloud and big data when talking about it, you can basically judge that this person has fallen behind the times.
as a forerunner
Erikson of Oracle was the first to realize the importance of database servers. Through these years of rapid development, he has the most profound understanding of the importance of databases.
However, Erikson is also a super chicken thief.
He never talks about the importance and irreplaceable key role of the database on any occasion. Instead, he deliberately plays some tricks to attract the attention of industry observers and industry players.
Oracle launched Network Computer Company in 1995, specializing in selling cheap "network computers". Because there are no hard disks, floppy disks and other components, the price is relatively low.
This thing
Equivalent to a slimmed down version of a personal PC, the database server is used as the microprocessor core of the network computer to upgrade and download application software, thereby reducing costs.
Facts have proved that this road is totally unworkable and is just a trick to fool people.
Sure enough, under the fierce competition in the market.
The trendy concept of "network computer" soon took shape, and the blind followers learned a lesson. The "network computer company" subsequently closed down, and Oracle also suffered considerable economic losses.
For Erikson;
As long as it can deceive others and buy more development time for Oracle, this loss is completely acceptable.
There are naturally smart people who can see through the fog and recognize the real gold.
two years ago
Microsoft Corporation and Royal Family Foundation have launched the research and development of database servers almost successively, but the results achieved are quite different.
After investing a lot of money in research and development, the Royal Family Foundation's database server with independent intellectual property rights has taken shape, but Microsoft has not seen it at all, and the funding and attention to scientific research projects are several levels behind.
This means getting up early and catching up with the late market.
With the sad execution of Mr. Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, the disease of Microsoft's big company has become more and more serious and rigid. It has gradually become separated from the ever-changing network technology world and has become a slow-moving company.
giant.
During the booming development of network technology for more than ten years, Microsoft has been completely invisible and has almost nothing to do. CEO Steve Ballmer bears unshirkable responsibility for this.
One by one, rising Internet companies have surpassed Microsoft, Oracle, Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon...
After listening to Professor Qian Fu's report, Wang Yaocheng was generally satisfied with the current research and development progress, and could probably score 65 points.
The question still remains, why are there no eye-catching results?
He sternly urged Vice President Shen Xiangyang to implement the full-process supervision and review mechanism for scientific research, severely reward those who made outstanding contributions and those who were dawdling with scientific research funds, and severely punished those who were good examples.
Domestic scientific researchers have a solid foundation and are relatively easy to use.
However, there are also many people who are cheating and cheating. Some of the bad habits that they have contracted from working in domestic scientific research institutes are the spread of hypocrisy, people who compare with each other, people who boast, people who falsify papers, and people who are like monks beating the clock every day.
Mixing scientific research funds, competing for projects, conducting some flashy forward-looking research, boasting at international academic conferences, and never saying anything surprising...
If we don't kill these unhealthy tendencies, they will be ruined once they spread.
Especially in places where scientific researchers gather together, a small number of intellectuals are relatively small-minded and have a serious imbalance in their comparison mentality, which affects the entire scientific research atmosphere.
The mind is not used on scientific research, just to clean up the moths.
You are not convinced who is getting a higher salary, you are not convinced that others are being used in important positions, you are not convinced who can get scientific research projects, you are not convinced by those who say weird things and throw cold water on them, you are fanning the flames and holding back, there are all kinds of strange phenomena.
Among tens of thousands of scientific researchers, these people are a minority but have a very bad influence.
Now, this trend has become more and more intense, gradually affecting the scientific research progress of the consortium and the enthusiasm of key personnel, and it is impossible not to arrest the evil trend.
Strict rules and regulations, pay close attention to the responsibility system for scientific research projects, and everything is linked to one's own treatment.
As a scientific and technological authority in the field of electronic semiconductors, Mr. Shun Xiangyang also has rich administrative experience. It is perfect to use him as this sharp knife.
Wang Yaocheng is looking forward to Mr. Shen Xiangyang giving him a surprise.
This is no small matter.
Stone Company, which was once glorious in the 1980s and 1990s, died of internal strife. The internal senior managers fought for power and profit, divided themselves into factions, and fought among themselves endlessly.
Fighting over and over is just the word "interest".
"Interest" can prompt people to strive, but it can also make people fall.
Companies with chaotic management slide into the abyss in the competition, while companies with good management show vitality in the competition. The two completely different outcomes illustrate the importance of management.
In Wang's consortium
As an important category, scientific and technological research and development is directly under the consortium. Together with business operations and financial and legal auditing, it is listed as the three important areas of the consortium, and it has received unprecedented attention.
Every year, more than 20% of the consortium's profits are invested in research and development, achieving significant benefits.
Wang's consortium has been able to rank among the top consortiums in just a dozen years, which is inseparable from the guidance and support of its technological system.
From the perspective of development history
Through the early introduction of technology, we quickly established a modern electronic semiconductor enterprise, adjusted the industrial and technological level export structure of Atlantic Business Machines Company, Atlantic Jinko Company, Yangtze River Technology Group, Huanghe Technology Group and Gree Group, and shortened the relationship with world-class enterprises. technology gap.
While introducing and absorbing, the consortium attaches great importance to research and development and has not given up the pace of independent innovation.
Especially after the Asian financial crisis hit the Asian economy hard in 1997, Royal Fund changed its original science and technology development model that focused on introduction and digestion, and its science and technology development strategy shifted to a simultaneous emphasis on independent innovation and digestion and absorption.
We have increased our efforts in exchanges and cooperation with world-renowned universities, recruited top scholars from around the world, made breakthroughs in key high-tech fields such as chip manufacturing and research and development, LCD panel technology, and wireless communication technology, and obtained a large number of innovative patent rights. , established its own core competitiveness.
Breakthroughs in the field of science and technology have led to the second take-off of the consortium's companies, ranking among the world's top companies.
This is the level of corporate development that Mr. Lee Kun-hee of Samsung Group has dreamed of. Royal Fund was the first to achieve it and break through it, making him jealous and enthusiastic.
The Royal Family Fund has established a scientific and technological innovation system with the consortium as the main body, world-famous university research institutions as the support, and corporate research institutes as the supplement. It recruits scientific and technological elites from all over the world to join, and makes key breakthroughs in the electronic semiconductor industry and LCD panels, laying the foundation for the consortium's sustainability. Development provides a powerful impetus.
The results are brilliant, but the problems existing in the entire scientific research system cannot be underestimated.
After more than ten years of rapid development, the Royal Family Fund is now a big company, and its administrative efficiency and R&D efficiency have dropped sharply.
There are more than 50 research institutes directly under the consortium, all over the world, with more than 50,000 front-line technology R&D personnel in Silicon Valley, Boston, New York, Houston, Yanjing, Jinling, Shenzhen, Frankfurt, London, Kuala Lumpur and other places. , the R&D strength is very strong.
In China alone, there are 36,000 scientific research and development personnel, which is very strong.
Correspondingly, the entire scientific research system is bloated and huge, suffering from the problems of large companies with low efficiency and overstaffing. The R&D efficiency is lower than the world's advanced levels such as Apple and Oracle.
Wang Yaocheng was keenly aware of this and asked Dr. Shen Xiangyang and his team to focus on systemic issues in the field of scientific research. He was preparing to go to war on this issue and get rid of the cancer.
Establish a practical and effective competition mechanism, introduce "wolf culture", implement the forest law of "the weak and the strong", and launch a vigorous reform movement of the scientific research system.
Revitalize the entire scientific research system so that it can cope with the increasingly difficult high-tech competition and challenges in the future and nip problems in the bud.
