In another time and space, in 2018, there was an interesting chart on the Internet, which counted the proportion of imported chips among flower growers.
As the crown jewel of semiconductors, CPUs account for only 13% of the total imports of flower growers.
Who is the big head? Analog chips (note) and memory!
Memory accounts for 38%, the largest head! What is that thing?
Anyone who has bought a mobile phone on a shopping website has seen it. In the dense product list on the website, most of the titles of each product will not tell you the CPU model, but the memory size will be clearly marked.
.
4G64GB, 8G128G, the first number is the memory DRAM that cannot be remembered, just like the Elpida memory particles represented by Zhao Song; the latter number is the remembered flash memory, just like the Toshiba flash memory represented by Zhao Song
particles.
Putting these two things together is memory. After 18 years, the domestic self-sufficiency rate of flower growers will be 0!
Some people may say, we have it! Huahong, Ziguang, etc., of course we do, but if you combine the most advanced Huawei HiSilicon CPU with these memories that are three or four generations behind, can it run the machine?
Because the gardeners have HiSilicon, and because DDR is a technology alliance, many companies from Japan, the United States, the Gulf, and Europe are in this alliance. Even if there are only three major storage manufacturers left in the world in the future, the gardeners will still have patents.
The hole can be drilled.
Therefore, in the huge 13th Five-Year Plan, hundreds of billions were invested in Yangtze River Storage, Feicheng City, and Jinhua City in Fujian Province were built.
Zhao Song doesn't know what the future will bring, but because of these three companies, the future of Huazhuangjia Memory is full of hope.
But few people have noticed the consequences of the patent war that took place at the beginning of the century.
What if Intel wins? Rambus is a patent company even more rogue than Qualcomm, and its bad reputation has even spread 18 years later!
If Intel wins, Japan, Taiwan, Europe, and four-star will all become Rambus foundries. Patent barriers will rise. Want to play? Pay the entrance fee, not much, 5% of the retail price of each one (Qualcomm's
dry method).
The storage semiconductor industry for flower growers will become a hellish level of difficulty.
………
In Zhonghai Electronics Mall, the shopkeepers and clerks with low levels of education were browsing various news with great interest.
"Four Star invested billions of dollars to build a wafer fab."
"Top tycoon shareholders, Formosa Plastics Taiwan is betting heavily!"
"With a cost of US$1.9 billion, Wanwan Powerchip's 12-inch wafer fab has begun construction."
"National strategy, the transfer of DRAM business from the island country Mitsubishi to Elpida is completed!"
As they got to know more deeply, the shopkeepers suddenly felt that compared with the actions of these foreign companies, the things that the domestic PC companies were doing might not even be considered playing cards!"
Putting their thoughts aside, they continued browsing news about rambus and PC133.
That kid Zhao Song connected the outcome of this struggle with the high-profile international patent disputes, and we are actually involved in it...
………..
"Zhao Song!" A call pulled Zhao Song's eyes back from the configuration list in front of him.
"Uncle Qin!"
Director Qin of China Overseas Shipping came to Zhao Song and said worriedly: "The five major distributors have all entered the market. They are no longer satisfied with supporting Pengcheng and have begun to distribute I820 motherboards and rambus memory sets themselves!"
"Nationwide?"
Director Qin nodded heavily, "All over the country!"
"Any other good news?"
You call this good news? Director Qin glanced at him angrily, and then said: "If the memory drops again, the old chipset motherboard will also be released at a reduced price! Zhao Song, they are sure you will take over!"
Nonsense! If I don’t accept the offer, I’ll lose my memory stick! Zhao Song also gave him a blank look.
"Zhao Song! Listen to my uncle's advice and stop struggling. Find a big company and accept their investment. Let's get over the bad Elpida contract. Tesla will still be your Tesla!"
"No!"
"Zhao Song!" Director Qin put his arm around Zhao Song's shoulders and growled in his ear: "They want Tesla, but they want you even more! You have the final say on whether Tesla accepts investment, and you can even
Go to a higher stage to show your abilities!"
"No!"
Looking at the stubborn boy in front of him, Director Qin let go of his hand dejectedly, "Is Tesla going to run out of money? What are you going to do now?"
"Sign the contract!" Zhao Song looked at Director Qin and said sincerely: "Don't they want me? Tell your boss Xu Youcai that you come here and I will serve him as the director of the Shanghai Management Office!"
"What?" Director Qin looked at Zhao Song blankly.
"Four-star Bangzi is expanding in a counter-cyclical manner. Taiwan has invested NT$160 billion in nearly ten years. The island country has just implemented a new DRAM strategy. In addition to starting construction of a new wafer fab, Germany's Infineon has also
Countless technology licenses have just been released to Bayan companies, not to mention those graphics card manufacturers that need memory.
Uncle, this time without the participation of the American government, Rambus will not win! They will not let Rambus win!
Since Wu Da wants to give me money, then I will accept it! But I need your help!"
Having earned so much money since his rebirth, Zhao Song has always felt that his luck is very good. This time, he thinks it will continue to be good!
Director Qin looked at Zhao Song for a long time. It wasn't until the closing bell rang that he patted Zhao Song heavily on the shoulder.
"Wait!"
"well!"
…………..
The customers slowly walked outside Zhonghai's door. Zhao Song went against the flow of people and came to the office. Inside, many people had been waiting for a long time, but they were not impatient.
"Mr. Zhao!" a group of people greeted hurriedly.
"Have a seat, I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting." Zhao Song greeted politely.
"It didn't take long..."
Nodding, Zhao Song looked at Wen Zhenwen with a smile.
"Boss, the contracts are ready. The China Merchants Branch is responsible for providing short-term loans to Tesla, and the Industrial and Commercial Branch is responsible for Shenzhou. I have already reviewed the contract with Shenzhou's supervisor Jia Yucheng and Lawyer Fu."
“When can the payment be made?”
"Within one hour after Mr. Zhao signs it!"
Zhao Song nodded, finally confirmed the amounts on the two contracts, then casually picked up a pen from the table, and signed the words 'Zhao Song' on the two contracts under everyone's gaze.
.
He stood up and said to Ding Tao: "Start collecting the goods!"
Ding Tao nodded and walked out the door, and two bank representatives followed him out.
After the door closed again, Zhao Song looked around at everyone in the room and said slowly: "Whether it's Tesla or Shenzhou, I just need everyone to do their own thing, and the rest is to wait for victory!
"
"clear!"
The crowd dispersed and Zhao Song took out his cell phone.
"Sister Fang, I can't wait for the profit after the black film is released. If you don't give me a definite message, Tesla will withdraw Great Wall's USB flash drive authorization."
"Zhao Song, it's me!"
"Yuanyuan?" Zhao Song was stunned for a moment.
"Hmm~"
"Where's Sister Fang?"
"We are in a meeting. Zhao Song, I will take the group finance to the bank to transfer money to Tesla tomorrow!"
"Group finance?" Zhao Song asked doubtfully.
"Well, the hard disk company has been insolvent for a long time. How can I borrow so much money from you? Sister Fang and I have been in the group these two days."
"..." Zhao Song pursed his lips and said after a while: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Yuanyuan said with a smile on the phone, "Remember to fax the agreement over as soon as possible."
"immediately!"
"Zhao Song."
"Um?"
"Want to win!"
"Don't worry, I've never lost!"
"whee…….."
……………..
November 16th.
Xingsheng defaulted, and the five major distributors officially entered the market, joined the team betting on new technologies, and began to sell off inventory on a large scale.
On the evening of November 16, China Shipping Group President Xu Youcai signed a resignation letter with a sad and regretful expression. Director Qin, who had been with him for nearly 20 years, officially resigned.
At the same time, he ecstatically sent out an appointment letter. From now on, Zhao Song, the famous star of Zhonghai, has another position as director of the China Shipping Management Office. Xu Youcai knows that, and everyone will know tomorrow
After hearing the news, he was envied by a group of people!
It was also the evening of November 16th. Countless Tesla guys stayed up all night to replace the U memory on hundreds of hosts in the Internet Cafe.
There must be a reason for the black screen. Maybe Intel already knows about it but has not announced it. Due to the full participation of flower growers in advance, the production quantity of new products can be described as astronomical figures. Intel cannot stop!
This time and space is rushing along a sharp curve. A small person in Zhongguancun, Kyoto, a flower grower, and his small company are pulling its tail hard, trying to pull it back on the right track...
