"Don't worry, there is no need to worry about chips. The country has officially issued a national chip industry development plan. The first step is to increase production capacity. Our current production capacity has reached 9,000 yuan per year, and the next step will be to expand to 19,000 yuan.
In addition, we need to vigorously improve chip performance, expand capacity while improving, and have dual regulations in parallel. To this end, SMIC has established a research and development team. In addition to the three of us, we have also moved the National Semiconductor Research Institute to Shanghai. More than a dozen of my colleagues will
Join the research and development of new generation chips.
In addition to these two points, we have now begun to manufacture our own wafer production line. It is expected that it will take two to three years to achieve localization. For this purpose, the country will invest US$100 million every year.
It can be said that in the next five years, all the semiconductor industry in the country will work around chips. With the efforts of the whole country, how can we fail?"
Huang Kun said from the side.
More than a year ago, the country established SMIC in order to manufacture chips. It spent 300 million yuan in less than half a year. The amount of money spent made everyone terrified. If it failed in the end, they would become
Sinners of the country.
But only half a year later, a small chip can be sold for one thousand US dollars. SMIC's net income has reached more than four hundred US dollars. Such a high price is still in short supply. If the annual output reaches 10,000 US dollars, that means four
With a net profit of more than one million US dollars, it is simply a huge profit industry.
The fact that chips are so profitable has shocked the country's top officials, and it has further confirmed that Liu Lang's prediction is accurate. At this time, even fools know how to do it, expand production capacity, and improve performance. In a word, China can now get this one thing.
To make good products, we must maintain our advantages, so we immediately hired a group of experts to formulate an industry development plan. Liu Lang was also consulted on this plan through the U.S. Consulate in Los Angeles. He wrote three articles at that time. As a result, the country also followed the plan.
These three items are just more specific.
It is good that the country has elevated chips to a national strategic level. At least the country recognizes the importance of chips, but Liu Lang is still a little worried about whether it can develop according to the plan. After all, the chip industry is a very special industry and requires a lot of manpower.
Not to mention material resources, the judgment and ability of decision-makers are particularly important. Huang Kun and Zhou Ming can still cope with it now, but as chips develop faster and faster, the technology in them will soon exceed the capabilities of those old scientists.
At that time, we can only rely on new people.
For example, Liu Lang's fellow countryman Wang Haijun, their young people are the backbone of the future. As for old people like Huang Kun, the technology they have mastered will be eliminated by the latest technology in less than five years. By then, it will be the world of young people. Huang
People like Kun have a scientific spirit and are not interested in some bureaucracies in the officialdom. However, once they retire, it will be bad if the leaders of SMIC are replaced by a bunch of laymen. Bureaucracy is not good for the ever-changing chip industry.
It is undoubtedly a devastating blow.
Of course, these are all things for later, Liu Lang still hopes that SMIC can continue to be strong.
Liu Lang stayed in the Shanghai Stock Exchange for a few days, and it was not until late February that he immediately went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. This time the plane flew directly to Los Angeles in the United States.
In the past, traveling from the mainland to the United States required a transfer on Hong Kong Island, but after the Spring Festival this year, dozens of international flights were added. Direct flights to the United States are now available from the capital or Shanghai. There are direct flights to the three major cities of Washington, New York and Los Angeles.
, for Liu Lang, this saves a lot of time. Even in normal times, it takes a day to return to the country, which is a lot more convenient.
After being away for nearly two months, Liu Donglai and his wife returned to their home at Stanford University, which suddenly became empty, making Liu Donglai and his wife uncomfortable.
Liu Lang could also see his parents' sense of loss. In his hometown, they bought groceries, cooked and played poker with relatives and friends every day, and they were busy every day. Although the material life here in the United States is far better than that in China, the spiritual life is much worse.
Maybe traveling can relieve their anxiety, but that will have to wait until they can solve the language problem.
Fortunately, Liu Donglai and his wife were also studious young people, and they went to learn English on the third day after returning to the United States.
A few days later, Stanford officially started school, and the quiet campus became lively again. Liu Lang was walking on campus from time to time, and people came over to say hello to him. Sun Hu also "transformed" into a cleaner again, resuming his role last year.
, he has now become a moderate celebrity, and many students will take the initiative to say hello when passing by him, and Sun Hu responds with a smile.
Of course, Liu Lang knew that the U.S. intelligence agency was already targeting him, and they also knew Sun Hu’s identity. Maybe there was an informant for this group of people at Stanford University, but Liu Lang felt that he was not considered worthy in the eyes of the intelligence agency.
What important person.
This kind of guess is very reasonable. The last time they came to see me, they didn’t say much. They just had a “heart-to-heart talk” with them and understood their “thoughts”. In their eyes, they were still a child, a child without many adults’ thoughts.
, as a result, the child's answer satisfied the other party, and Liu Lang was sure that the other party also believed him.
Even if your answer makes the other party very angry, for example: When I grow up, I will return to my country to serve my country and kill you old Americans, etc. I believe that the other party will not do anything to me, and they may give them "candy".
Remember sugar-coated bullets, or pretend to make faces to scare yourself. The most serious thing is to deport yourself. You will definitely not do anything to yourself. After all, you have not done anything to harm the United States.
As for Sun Hu, they will not take it seriously. He is a diplomat, and this status will still make them scrupulous. In addition, Sun Hu has not done anything sneaky, but he is at Stanford University every day.
He is really a different kind of diplomat.
Although Liu Lang analyzed that the CIA would not take him seriously, he knew in his heart that what he did would definitely threaten the status of the United States in the future.
Of course, this threat does not mean that they will suffer a blow, but that they will suffer losses in the economic market due to conflicts with similar American products in certain technological fields or commodity industries.
In some aspects, this kind of loss may be greater than a simple war, but it will not bring a strong impact.
But no matter how Liu Lang pretends, he is still under the eyes of others. He goes to Professor Claire's laboratory every day to get in touch with those core secrets. How can the other party not understand? Only a fool will not understand!
Professor Qian Xuesen's experience back then was written in the textbooks of later generations, and Liu Lang didn't want to have the same experience again.
Liu Lang has been thinking about this matter these days, and how he can hide it from the public and make those people "ignore" him.
Pretending to be crazy? Pretending to suddenly become a fool? Then I'm afraid Professor Claire will be the first to kick himself out of the laboratory: Why are you coming to my laboratory if your brain doesn't work? Of course it's not allowed.
So what method should be used? Liu Lang has never thought about it.
Of course, regardless of whether he had to take classes or not, he had to go to Professor Claire's laboratory frequently. As soon as the semester started, Liu Lang was in the same state as last semester.
