SMIC is now also in the whirlpool of this era. In the past half year, it suddenly emerged and became a Chinese company that attracted the attention of the United States.
They could not imagine that a poor and backward country could produce the most advanced chips.
"Liu Lang, our Wanan Company has been questioned by the United States a lot in the past few months! They suspect that we have given technology to China. If the "crime" is proven, our Wanan Company will be severely sanctioned. I'm afraid this kind of sanctions will
It’s more than we can bear!”
Wan He said while pouring a cup of tea for Liu Lang. Sitting next to him were Huang Kun, Zhou Ming, Xie Xide and other core personnel of SMIC.
"The result is that they found no evidence, and this is also true. All materials and equipment of SMIC are completely our own, and Wanan Company did not provide any help... Well, it cannot be said that, it should be said that you provided manufacturing standards
, and we manufactured it according to the standards, and the result was far beyond your expectations. It happened that at this time, the world's computer industry was undergoing
Changes. Chips that originally did not attract your attention have become popular. Market rules have determined that you can’t use them. In the end, with the help of the latest chips, you have become a computer industry giant on par with IBM. The computer industry has undergone tremendous changes.
It’s weird, no one knows what to do next, the rise of SMIC is purely coincidental, there is no sign at all!”
After Liu Lang finished speaking, he picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Well, good tea. Brother Wanhe, you have been in China for so long, and your tea-drinking skills have improved a lot!"
Wan He almost spat out the tea in his mouth after listening to Liu Lang's words. What he said was almost the same as his father's speech when he was questioned in the United States.
In fact, this is also true. All the equipment currently owned by SMIC comes from China... not entirely. The wafer production line was bought from the island country seven years ago. Other than that, it is all domestically produced. It relies on these
The equipment that was "saved" actually produced the world's most advanced computer chips. You say it's a miracle, but the miracle just happened.
"Liu Lang, I'm finally convinced. My father told the interrogators the same thing. Of course they didn't believe it. Finally, they set up an expert team to inspect SMIC. When they saw that the equipment was from the island country
After the import, this group became very popular, but at the same time, I also explained that we were not involved. Although there are still people secretly causing trouble, it does not affect the overall situation."
Liu Lang nodded. He had thought of this level when he proposed the establishment of SMIC, and Wan'an also thought of this level. There was a tacit understanding between the two parties, even though in the end Liu Lang helped Wanhe's team create the latest C
Regarding language, Wan'an only secretly sent a few experts to give some advice, but other than that, there was no help.
So in terms of technical equipment, SMIC's chip manufacturing has little to do with Macan. We want to thank the island country for its "assist" back then. As for how the United States settles accounts with the island country, that is a matter between the two of them. It is with Macan.
Not a dime matters.
"Liu Lang! Your original worry was right. It seems that the Americans are friendly with us on the surface, but are actually suppressing us behind the scenes. They don't want to see us possess high technology. But the more this happens, the more motivated we become.
Now we can produce 8,000 chips per year, and we are planning to expand our production capacity again this year, to 13,000, in an effort to defeat that IBM!"
Huang Kun said from the side.
"Production capacity is one aspect, but it is not the most important. The most important thing is to continuously improve technology. There is a law in the chip industry, which is Moore's Law. This Moore is the most famous computer genius in the United States and is now the chairman of Intel Corporation.
, according to Moore's Law, every one year to eighteen months, the performance of the chip will double while the size remains the same. Originally, many people only regarded this sentence as a joke, but now
The era of personal computers has arrived. As the market continues to expand, people have higher and higher requirements for computer performance. So I think that starting from this year, the performance of computer chips will be calculated in accordance with Moore's Law. That is to say, once we
If you delay it for one year, it is likely to be doubled by others. If you delay it for two years, it will be four times. If you delay it for three years, it will be eight times. So we can't breathe for a moment!"
"Liu Lang, you are absolutely right. We at Wan'an Company feel it the most. Half a year ago, the company launched personal computers and phtotshop1 software systems. In the first four months, we occupied half of the computer hardware and software market, and the stock price also increased rapidly.
has climbed to more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, even if it rises to
IBM remained flat, but in the next two months, Intel and Microsoft rose rapidly. The chips and software they produced reached almost our level in a short period of time, especially Microsoft's word processing system.
word, its functions are no less powerful than our WPS.
These two things are enough to show that around the world, the chip and software industries are basically on a common basis. No one can have a huge advantage. Our only advantage is that we are half a year ahead of them. Once we relax, it is very likely that
Our opponents will catch up with us or even surpass us in a very short period of time, so everyone must not relax!"
Wanhe followed and said.
Three years ago, Wan He was just a child hiding behind his father. However, after three years of experience, his talents were fully revealed. From C language to the latest software development, he led his team to suddenly emerge and became Wan He.
Wan'an Company's biggest profit growth point, even Wan'an sometimes thinks, without these two advantages supporting Wan'an Company, what would the company be like now? Maybe it can no longer compete with IBM, or maybe even Xinxin
The rise of Intel and Microsoft are not comparable.
Today, Wan He has been appointed by his father as the vice chairman of Wan'an Company and the chairman of Wan'an Software Development Company. He holds great power, but he himself is not interested in the title of vice chairman. His interest is in software development.
On the screen, the seemingly boring command codes are his true love.
"Brother Wanhe, what software are we working on now?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Now we are continuing to improve the functions of the WPS word processing system, and the photoshop software is also constantly improving, especially the photoshop2 software that is being designed. Its pixel resolution will be double that of photoshop1. We expect it to take another two months.
You can create the latest software!"
Manga replied.
"Well, pictures and text are the two foundations of office programs. As long as we firmly grasp these two foundations, the enterprise market will not be lost. However, the main target of personal computers is individual users, especially those aged 17 or 18.
There are more young people, we need to capture these people first, I think we can design some computer games!"
