In Liu Lang's previous life, thirty years later, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the Bay Area was very famous, specializing in manufacturing chips for Apple's mobile phones. One of their own production lines was worth 20 billion U.S. dollars, and the annual output value was as high as hundreds.
Billion US dollars, such a company makes the country envious and wants to build one, but let alone 20 billion US dollars, even if it gives you 100 billion US dollars, you can't build it. Technology and talents are the most important.
There is also South Korea's Samsung Group. Their chip manufacturing makes even Apple feel terrible. That kind of technology is at the top level in the world.
Regardless of whether it is South Korea or the United States, the electronics industry lagged behind China in the late 1970s. One of the reasons for its rapid development was the strong support from Western countries, especially the support from the United States, which allowed their electronics industry to grow at a rocket-like pace.
Speed increase.
But the most important reason is that the country itself did not do its best and did not realize the importance of the electronics industry in the future. It gave up first and waited until twenty years later to discover that the electronics industry was the most profitable industry. It was already too late. Even if it worked hard, it was too late.
We are always one or even two generations behind others. If you create 24-nanometer wafers, others will already have 12-nanometer wafers. If you create 18-nanometer wafers, others will put 9-nanometer wafers into production. In a country,
In the era of the Internet and artificial intelligence, it is a very scary thing to be unable to make your own chips.
At that time, the United States launched an economic sanction against the country's chip industry, prohibiting many chip companies from exporting to Chinese companies. As a result, a large state-owned enterprise almost went bankrupt. In the end, the crisis was finally resolved with the intervention of national leaders. Although the country
The reason is not mentioned, but it can be imagined that there must be various conditions behind it. The country
It is possible that many concessions have been made, but the key issue is still unresolved. What if this happens again? If one day the two sides reach a point where they are at odds with each other, they can even remotely control all the chips in your country.
What should you do if your computer is down? It’s not a good feeling to be pinched by others all the time!
Liu Lang will never let this happen in this life. Wanan Company is a springboard. With the help of Wanan Company's newly developed chips, it will drive the development of the country's electronics industry. This year is 1985, and there are still two or three years for personal computers.
The big wave will come, and by then the development of computer chips will advance by leaps and bounds. The 286, 386, 486, and 586 computer models are improving almost every year. This is a high-speed train. As long as the country gets on this train, the chip industry will stop.
It's impossible.
Within two years, the country's electronics industry must be developed to the extent that it can provide chips for Wanan Company. This is Liu Langxia's goal.
Of course, there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal.
"Brother Wan, how are you? The electronics industry foundation in Shanghai is not bad!"
Liu Lang, Wan He and others were chatting in the hotel.
"Liu Lang, China's electronics industry is beyond my expectation. There are so many companies in the Shanghai Stock Exchange alone. I'm afraid there must be hundreds of companies in the entire country!"
"Haha, to tell you the truth, my hometown, Fucheng, is a very small city, with a population of only a few hundred thousand. Nowadays, people still use food stamps to buy food. Even such a small city has a transistor factory, not to mention
A big city like Shanghai!”
Liu Lang smiled and said that he was absolutely right. There are transistor factories in Fucheng that can produce transistors for radios.
"I think just in terms of the types of products, you are no less than the United States, that is...!"
"The quality is just not good, right?"
Liu Lang said.
"Yes, if you were looking at these companies in the mid-1970s, their technology would have been pretty good. Even if it was not as good as the United States, it would be much better than South Korea. In some products, it could even be on par with island countries. But in recent years, The electronics industry has developed so fast in 2016 that it can change in just one year. Five or six years is enough time to surpass one generation of products. Now your technology is outdated... But Liu Lang, don't worry, as long as the country exerts its strength now, it will soon be possible. The technology can be improved quickly, and it may not be able to compare with the United States, but I think South Korea will have no problem!"
After two days of inspection, Wanhe has more confidence than at the beginning.
"Brother Wan, you are right. I believe that the country will spare no effort to invest in this area. Even if the country does not have much funds, I am personally optimistic about the electronics industry. It will be very good to raise tens of millions to become a shareholder when the time comes. !”
Liu Lang smiled.
"Ten million? Good guy, it seems that you, Liu Lang, are now a rich man too!"
In the United States, those who have millions of dollars are considered rich. Liu Lang said tens of millions, which is enough to be called a rich man.
"Haha, the computer industry will exceed hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars in the future. These tens of millions are nothing... Let's not mention this for now. Brother Wan, the reason why we lag behind is because the country has not Pay attention to it. No one can do anything without money. Now that the country pays attention to it, I believe there will be a lot of money coming in. However, the training of talents cannot be solved with money. In just five or six years, the current industrial workers will appear. There is a technological gap, so I think we should organize more industrial knowledge training after Wan'an Company settles in, so that they can quickly adapt to the most advanced industrial skills in the world and serve you better."
Liu Lang put forward suggestions for training talents.
"Yes, that's for sure. When Wanwan built the factory, we sent many skilled workers to train them. If they were a bunch of novices, we wouldn't be at ease!"
Wan He nodded.
"That's good. In addition, we at Huaxia University also have students in the electronics industry. Although they are not technically as good as those old workers, their learning ability is not comparable to that of older workers. I will also let them join us when the time comes. Inject vitality into the business.”
"Yes, elderly people are indeed stubborn!"
At this time, Wanhe thought of his father, who was a stubborn person.
"Brother Wan, as long as you keep working hard according to your goals, one day Mr. Wan An will realize your value. I even think that the new chips you are researching now will save your company in the future!"
Liu Lang is telling the truth! According to historical development, Wanan Company's business will plummet in two years, and then it will be on the verge of bankruptcy in just two or three years. Personal computers will rise accordingly, and various multi-functional With the emergence of computer chips, the most powerful one, Microsoft, has begun to attract the attention of everyone in the world. The new chip developed by Wanhe actually has the characteristics of future Microsoft chips and has more powerful processing functions. If research and development continues, the future It may not be worse than Microsoft's software. By then, relying on this industry, Wan'an Company will have a chance to rise again.
"Haha, Liu Lang, your words are always inspiring. I also hope that one day the products I manufacture will be recognized by more people, but our company had better not reach the stage you said!"
Wanhe laughed and said.
Wan He quickly left Shanghai with his people. He wanted to return to the United States to make preparations. In fact, he had no preparations. His laboratory was very simple, with just a few computers and a group of scientific researchers who continued to write programs every day.
As long as the program is completed and there is powerful chip support, the designed related functions will also appear.
Liu Lang felt that the current Wan He was very different from last year. Last year, he was Wan An's son. He hid in his father's shadow and rarely expressed his thoughts. However, since his father Wan An allowed him to set up a laboratory, he
With motivation, Liu Lang felt that it was a kind of entrepreneurial passion. As long as Wan He persisted, he would be rewarded one day, and he could not even imagine such a reward.
