1991 Starting from the core

"Although I have always firmly believed that population is the future, and Asia is the ultimate destination for consumer electronics... In the words of God, it is the land of Canaan. But I have to say... before the future arrives, we still have to recognize it clearly In fact, the main consumption power is still in developed Western countries."

Su Yuanshan sighed as he spoke: "Oh my god, many places in the country can't even compare to the Lighthouse Country 100 years ago. This is the gap."

Qin Si pursed her lips and smiled, but then she realized it was inappropriate... She blinked and said, "When will I catch up?"

"If we talk about GDP, if we look at a few cities individually, it would only take a few years. Overall, it would take at most twenty or thirty years... But if we want to quantify it on a per capita basis and on every household, it would probably be a little later. But eradication Poverty... you have to have confidence in the country. This is the unshakable and collective will direction of the entire ruling system. It is not subject to any external or internal influence. It is the foundation and the foundation of the country." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips. Mouth, eyes firm: "You must believe this."

Qin Si hummed softly.

Su Yuanshan glanced at Qin Si and his expression turned serious. He coughed lightly and also laughed: "Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about what is in front of us...Sister Qin Si, do you think the growth of personal wealth in developed countries will continue? Or in other words, will the median income per capita increase after removing inflation?"

"Should... yes?" Qin Si looked at Su Yuanshan doubtfully: "Now is the period of the explosion of new technologies..."

"Hehe... you are a capitalist, and all you see is the appreciation of capital. But you don't see ordinary residents..."

Qin Si: "..."

"Let me tell you a fact - in the past three years, China has poached a large number of semiconductor and machinery-related talents from the island and Ni Country - there is no exact statistics, but there are tens of thousands."

Although Qin Si was a little surprised by this number, he still looked at Su Yuanshan with some confusion.

"Wages on the island have begun to decline, while wages in Ni Country have not increased for ten years, and here in the United States... due to the birth of the Internet and the growth brought about by the seizure of the semiconductor market from Ni Country The volume... has indeed given birth to a new group of high-income people. But when it comes to ordinary people, in fact, the purchasing power of ordinary people has not been touched for many years."

"The technological explosion will give birth to new technologies, products, and new lifestyles. I do not deny that these will change people's lives and make people live more comfortable. But the most intuitive indicator is that the wealth of ordinary people is not It’s going to grow from this.”

"In other words, the purchasing power of people in developed countries has almost reached its peak."

Qin Si frowned and gritted his teeth: "Please explain clearly, I just gave birth to a child, so my mind is a little confused."

"That means, as far as products are concerned, in China and Southeast Asia, we are more waiting for the people to get rich. In developed countries, we are more about letting them choose and consume products."

Su Yuanshan gave an example: "For example, Yidoo 4 is priced at RMB 4,999 in China. Our expectation for the domestic market is that domestic wages will rise, and then people will come back to buy mobile phones. As for the US$599 price here in the United States, we need to think about it. Let them deduct money from other places to buy our Yidoo4."

"Where does this money come from? Watch less movies, go shopping less, eat out less, buy less books, buy less CDs... In short, change their consumption patterns and let them choose new ones. products and new ways of living and consuming.”

"Indeed, even Americans have a full schedule of credit card bills...but what if we can enter their bills in a silent way?"

When Qin Si heard this, his eyes gradually lit up.

Su Yuanshan sighed: "Consumer loans for electronic products are really a promising business, Sister Qin Si."

Consumer product loans and operator signing bonuses. Su Yuanshan used these two magic weapons at the same time because the responsibility on Yidoo4 was too heavy.

Yidoo4 not only shoulders the important task of connecting the past and the future of the Yuanxin series of mobile phones, but also shoulders the important task of Kirin SOC. It is also responsible for promoting YOS, allowing the YOS camp to collectively jump into the "new" smartphone field, accelerating 3G mobile deployment, and comprehensively driving the domestic mobile phone industry. The advantages of the “four major components of smartphones” that have been laid out...

If Yidoo 4 fails and sinks into the sand, although it will not mean that there will be no opportunities in China, at the very least, the explosive trend and advantages of the domestic smartphone industry chain that has initially taken shape will suddenly slow down.

As for Yuanxin, as a leader that has overcome all obstacles and never failed, and has an unparalleled position in the industry, it will also lose its "aura" as a result.

Of course, the halo of Yuan Xin cannot fade away, but it cannot fade away at this time.

Compared with these impacts, which are enough to leverage the entire industry, the tens of billions of revenue that the Vidoo and Yidoo series now bring every year are nothing.

…

the next day.

Carter returned from Chicago and fully contacted Qin Si to discuss how to carry out mobile phone consumer loans in the next six months.

After all, under the mature design and industrial chain system, Yuanxin only has a half-year initial launch window period at most - even if Yuanxin has the ambition to lead the industry, it still has to make money.

Everyone makes money based on their abilities, without shame or offending others.

As for Su Yuanshan, he and Carly met with Sanders at the Blue Island Cafe.

…

Compared to the last time we met, Sanders seemed a little older today...or, in other words, a little more mentally exhausted.

Of course, the old man still wears a suit and has unruly white hair. At first glance, he looks like a trendy old man.

"Old man, this is the third time. Even visiting the thatched cottage three times is enough to show my sincerity."

Su Yuanshan got straight to the point, but contrary to his usual tone, his whole temperament became serious and serious.

Sanders glanced at Su Yuanshan and said nothing.

Carly didn't speak, just drank coffee quietly.

——After the establishment of the Xinghai wafer fab, there have been no external orders, and the internal orders from the two departments of Cyrix and 3DFX can fill the production capacity.

But as the process improvement speed in Xinghai accelerated, she immediately realized the shortcomings of the Xinghai wafer fab - although she could temporarily rely on Deyuan's help to achieve process satisfaction, when the process technology became more and more complex, , it has become increasingly difficult to catch up or even surpass Deyuan as he did originally.

In order not to be threatened by Deyuan, it is the best solution for the development of Xinghai to separate the wafer fab and then form a professional foundry together with AMD's GlobalFoundries and Deyuan.

But today, Su Yuanshan seemed determined to get accurate information from Sanders. He kept looking directly at the other party, waiting for Sanders' answer.

Perhaps because Su Yuanshan looked at him a little, Sanders finally frowned: "I have a question, please answer me first."

"You ask."

"You are representing Deyuan this time, right?"

Su Yuanshan was slightly startled, and quickly wondered what Sanders meant by this sentence - representing Deyuan?

"The reorganization among the three wafer fabs, but Zhang Rujin from Deyuan was not seen." Sanders' eyes became sharp: "Su, how many wafer fabs do you want to control?"

Hearing this, it was like a bolt of lightning instantly split open the layers of fog. Let him finally understand why Sanders has been refusing to promise himself.

I see……

——Indeed, Sanders' character is the toughest among the people who came out of Fairchild, and AMD can also be called a hero in adversity. But behind the heroes of adversity... there are countless people who are subject to them.

Obviously, Sanders did not want to be "interferenced" by Su Yuanshan in the wafer fab.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yuanshan suddenly smiled.

"Yuanxin is the major shareholder of Deyuan, and I am the major shareholder of Yuanxin. From a legal perspective, I can indeed conduct preliminary negotiations and promotion of informal business and strategic cooperation on behalf of Deyuan."

Sanders showed a smile that was either sarcastic or something. He glanced at Carly and said calmly: "You are also the major shareholder of Xinghai - if you had promised me back then, you would also be the CEO of AMD."

"Ahem... As the old saying goes, it's going to rain." Su Yuanshan was a little speechless by the old man's unprovoked choking, but he immediately blurred out the fact that he was the majority shareholder of Xinghai.

"Jerry, I need to clarify. I firmly deny your accusation that I want to control all the fabs." Su Yuanshan said with a serious expression: "I admit that I have influence on Deyuan. But this influence is exactly the same as my advice to you to speed up the deployment of multi-core + 64-bit research and development progress."

Sanders raised his eyebrows and subconsciously wanted to refute, but in the end he said nothing.

Su Yuanshan continued: "Then, from the perspective of improving the process, from the perspective of promoting the entire semiconductor chip industry, from the perspective of continuing Moore's Law... Do you think there is anyone more suitable than me to promote the fab process? The development of technology?”

Sanders opened his mouth slightly, but still said nothing, but his brows gradually wrinkled.

"We even go a little further - if aliens are going to destroy the earth in ten years, and the condition for saving the earth is to hand over a state-of-the-art wafer factory to them - don't ask why it is a wafer factory , let’s just assume that this all-powerful alien is good for this. So who do you think is the best person to lead this fab?”

"Me." Su Yuanshan pointed at his nose and said unceremoniously: "Don't forget, the core team of immersion lithography technology belongs to Yuanxin!"

"It was me who supported Lin Benjian without any doubt from the beginning. I spent hundreds of millions of dollars on it in three years, and only then did I come up with technology that only a 'madman' could come up with in the eyes of Nikon and Canon."

"Sir, the field of chip design has blossomed. Countless IPs are at your fingertips. Countless new electronic products, new application scenarios, and new demands are springing up... Chips are no longer the chips used to refer exclusively to central processors. …”

Su Yuanshan stared into Sanders' eyes: "Jerry, you must believe me. Foundry is the final way out."

Sanders frowned deeply, looked at Su Yuanshan, and was silent for a long time.

“How to ensure AMD’s priority in production?”

"That's Deyuan's business."

Su Yuanshan pointed at himself and smiled: "Now, I represent Yuanxin."

Then the three people present represent the strongest chip design company in the world besides Intel.
