Technological Hegemony

Shanghai, Four Seasons Hotel.

The news that Luo Jia will attend the meeting tomorrow spread to the Semiconductor Alliance that night and caused quite a stir.

"It's finally time for a showdown." Professor Hawkins said with a smile, "It was still January when we came, and now it's mid-April, and those Chinese people have been finding various excuses to drag us down."

Looking out of the window, looking from the height of the forty-sixth floor, Shanghai at night is brightly lit, and there are many high-rise buildings. Especially after the beginning of spring, the number of tourists on the streets has increased significantly.

Hey~

Professor Hawkins sighed and said with emotion: "But in retrospect, it's not all bad. At least we saw what the real China looks like. It's unimaginable that they actually built roads and connected electricity to all villages, even in the vast Inner Mongolia. There are still mobile phone signals on the prairie, and China's infrastructure level is far more developed than many developed countries."

After listening to the professor's words, everyone was full of emotion. What they heard was false. After watching too many CNN reports distorting the facts, they suddenly came to the real China. They felt like a native who had never seen the world, facing the tall buildings all over the world. The building was dumbfounded.

"There is a boss in our company who is nicknamed Leon from India. Do you know how this nickname came from?" The representative of Siemens Group joked: "At that time, there were two regional presidents, one was the president of India, and the other was the president of India. One is the president of Huaxia, but Mr. Lai Ang firmly believes that Huaxia is a poor and backward place, so he resolutely chose to take up the post in India and handed over the Huaxia region to his competitors."

"Since that day, the tragedy has been doomed. I watched my competitors post photos of me visiting China and enjoying delicious food every day, and then I looked around me, the ground was covered with cow dung and the Indian assan who stepped on the cow dung and defecated everywhere. , Leon almost wanted to cry, so later, Leon in India became a famous case in our company, used to ridicule those who have no eyes.”

Hahahaha~

After hearing this story, everyone laughed. Once upon a time, the employees stationed in Huaxia had to offer at least three times the bonus, otherwise no one would come at all. But now, the permanent job in China needs to go through fierce competition and selection. flock to.

"This visit to China has shocked me too much." Another negotiator said: "Although poverty and backwardness still exist here, which country is not like this? There are an average of more than a dozen shootings in the slums of Detroit every day." , and yet North America remains the sole superpower in the world.”

"These are not the crux of the problem. The crux is that East Asians are really smart, their average IQ is far ahead of other ethnic groups, and they are not only intelligent, but also very hardworking. Take Neon as an example.

If it hadn't been suppressed by North America back then, which led to economic stagnation for 30 years, it might not have reached the height it has reached today. "

The representative's words caused everyone to think deeply. Japan and South Korea have reached the top of the world. Assuming that the giant China also rises rapidly, the trouble facing the West is not only an economic crisis, but a racial crisis.

It is unimaginable that if one day the global center shifts from Europe and the United States to East Asia, and white girls are proud to marry East Asians, what a terrible situation it will be.

"I think everyone should still remember that in the 1980s, the neon semiconductor industry was in full swing, and its market share even surpassed that of North America. But so what? Wasn't it suppressed?"

"On the one hand, we signed the semiconductor agreement and the Plaza Agreement with Neon, forcing the market share of Neon Semiconductor to be no higher than 20%, and the price should not be lower than that of similar Western products. On the other hand, we cultivated South Korea as a new The semiconductor production base, let South Korea compete with Neon, and let East Asians eat their own dogs."

"After this series of operations, the neon semiconductor industry has finally declined, and South Korea, I'm sorry, Samsung's shares are actually in our hands. It's just a North American company wearing a Korean skin."

"In China today, the scale of the semiconductor industry is far smaller than that of neon in the last century. Even neon has been played to death by us. Why should they compete with us? Do they rely on a new lithography machine?"

After hearing the representative's words, everyone laughed. To this day, the semiconductor alliance's encirclement and suppression of Huaxia has become a consensus, especially after they saw the real Huaxia with their own eyes, they became more determined.

Therefore, Chinese people always complain that the West does not understand the East, and there are too many misunderstandings in it.

But if you think about it carefully, ignorance is not necessarily a bad thing, because ignorance will despise it, and once the West sees Huaxia clearly, they should be afraid.

...

On the afternoon of the second day, Hong Tao and Luo Jia came to Pudong from Baoshan together. When they walked into the meeting room, the representatives of the Semiconductor Alliance were already sitting in full suits and shoes, and everyone sat in front of them. There are also nameplates identifying the business they represent.

Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments, IBM, Microsoft, Applied Materials, Apple, Google, Facebook, Colin Technologies, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, ASML, Siemens, Philips, GlobalFoundries, Toshiba, Hitachi, Samsung, Hyundai, Shin-Etsu, TDK, Taiyo Yuden…

In addition, there are representatives of Western academic fields, such as Princeton, Caltech, Massachusetts, Cambridge, Oxford and so on.

Luo Jia glanced at the nameplates in front of these representatives, feeling very exaggerated. It seems that all the world's most powerful semiconductor-related companies have sent representatives to attend the meeting, and the combined market value of these giant companies is enough to Hundreds of trillions of dollars.

Huaxia's lineup is much poorer. Although Ali and Tencent are awesome, in the final analysis, most of the shares are still in the hands of foreigners, earning the money of Chinese people, but eventually they have to be distributed to foreign shareholders. No matter how you think about it, you will feel a little bit. Not comfortable.

The reason why people praise Huawei and Xingchen Technology so much is that Miao Zhenggen is popular. Only the two of them are truly 100% national enterprises. shareholders.

Luo Jia sat, surrounded by Huawei, Spreadtrum, Ziguang, ZTE, Changjiang, Jinhua, SMIC, etc. This is the Huaxia semiconductor industry lineup.

So far, no one knows the real goal of Star Technology and the progress they have made. The confidentiality work is done well. Everyone believes that Star Technology's plan B is to team up with David Patterson to engage in RISC-V Architecture, but in fact, Star Technology's so-called Plan B is actually just a cover for the crazier Plan C.

Hong Tao stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I have sent today's latest agenda to the tablet in front of you. If there is no problem, we will officially start the discussion next."

It's rare for Hong Tao to be so straightforward today. Usually, the fat man surnamed Hong and the big mouth surnamed Yu always talk about him, but they can't get to the point, and the negotiators are overwhelmed. bother.

It seemed that a showdown was really about to take place. Everyone had their own thoughts and stood up to speak out, explaining their positions and demands. Luo Jia listened quietly, her brows gradually furrowed.

"Star Technology Group must immediately restore the supply of photoresist unconditionally, and open the next-generation lithography machine. All semiconductor companies in the world can order and use the next-generation lithography machine, including but not limited to follow-up services including technical support. "The representative of Intel said his request in English.

Hong Tao glanced at Luo Jia, his expression was very helpless, and his meaning was very obvious. In the past few months, Hong Tao has been dealing with these guys, and his life has been really hard.

"If we restore the supply of photoresist and unconditionally sell the next-generation photolithography machine, what kind of return will Intel Group be willing to give?" Hong Tao asked.

The Intel representative raised his golden glasses, "We will authorize you to use the patent library under the X86 architecture."

Hong Tao rubbed his chin, "Exchange your X86 patent library authorization with photolithography machine and photoresist? Isn't that a bit too much? As far as I know, you only occupy one-third of the X86 patent library. Even if we get the authorization, Still incomplete."

"There is no way. If you want to develop your own CPU technology, you must obtain the authorization of the X86 architecture. You are right. We do not have the entire X86 architecture. AMD, Texas Instruments, IBM, you still have to talk one by one. As for What conditions they offer has nothing to do with us."

"In addition, even if you get the complete X86 architecture license, it is still not enough to develop the semiconductor industry, because you are still short of the instruction set and assembly machine language, even if you get all these three major licenses, it is only the software. Preparation, etching, packaging, electrical evaluation required for hardware manufacturing, these technologies still need to be licensed and exchanged."

Hahahaha~

Representatives of the Semiconductor Alliance laughed one after another, looking very proud, as if they were watching the jokes of the Chinese people. After all, the semiconductor giants spent tens of hundreds of years building this unrivaled technical patent moat. It is not easy for a research and development company like Xingchen Technology to overcome the sky.

Hong Tao was still dealing with this group of foreigners, but Yu Chengdong smiled bitterly, and said to Luo Jia in a low voice: "Their current strategy is to divide, and each company makes separate demands, trying to separate us, crush them, and slowly Just kidding, this kind of negotiation is obviously not sincere, and it is estimated that in the end, there will be a final showdown time."

Is that right?

Luo Jia frowned. His focus of work has always been on the R\u0026D direction of the headquarters. He had heard Hong Tao say that the negotiation was very difficult, but Luo Jia didn't know exactly how it was difficult.

Exchange lithography machine for X86 architecture authorization, energy wave wireless charging technology for instruction set authorization, and Karman vortex street power generation for assembly logic. How could Xingchen Technology agree to such harsh conditions? If the agreement is signed, it will definitely become a new Century Treaty of Shimonoseki.

All of a sudden, the audience was silent, because people noticed that Luo Jia stood up, his face was expressionless, his eyes swept across the audience quickly, and then he said in a deep voice: "Obviously, you have no sincerity in negotiating. We cannot accept the conditions."

Professor Hawkins stood up. He came to Shanghai on behalf of Princeton University, and he was regarded as the talker of the academic circle.

For this negotiation, the academic community also has requirements, that is, the Star Journal must publish an English version, and Huaxia cannot continue to challenge Western academic hegemony. Scholars from many countries have already tried to submit Chinese papers to Huaxia. This is what the academic circles say unbearable.

"President Luo misunderstood, I am the computer of Princeton University..."

Professor Hawkins spoke slowly, with a calm look, but unexpectedly, Luo Jia didn't seem to be interested in him.

"Mr. Professor, please shut up." Luo Jia said with a smile on her face, "Because I haven't finished my words yet."

Puff~

Hong Tao, who was drinking a bottle of Nongfu Spring, sprayed it straight away. Luo Jia was really rude. As the dean of Princeton's computer science department, Hawkins had a long-standing reputation in the world, but Luo Jia told him to shut up. It's as ugly as it gets.

Luo Jia said lightly: "We do want to develop semiconductors, but that doesn't mean we have to kneel down and beg someone to allow us to develop semiconductors. As for negotiations, we will talk if we can, and we won't if we can't. The road is facing the sky, at most we will each go on one side."

Speaking of this, Professor Hawkins became even more angry. He stood up again and said loudly: "Do you know what you are talking about? China's billions of large and small computing devices all use core technologies from the West!"

His gaze suddenly became sharper, and an indistinguishable brilliance flashed across the corner of Luo Jia's eyes. He snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Professor, why did you stop? Why don't you continue talking?"

"Because we have adopted Western computer technology, we will always be under your control and control? Is that what you want to express?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Luo Jia said to Hong Tao and Yu Chengdong beside him: "It's all over, I think it's better not to waste time, everyone go back and have a rest, and wait for the notice."

Now that Xingchen Technology doesn't want to talk about it anymore, it is meaningless for the others to stay. Under the leadership of Luo Jia, Huaxia began to withdraw, while the Western representatives watched with cold eyes, as if they were not concerned about Huaxia's unilateral end of negotiations .

When all the Huaxia people were gone, Professor Hawkins raised his eyebrows and let out a cold snort, "Don't worry, they will come back soon, because Huaxia's so-called Plan B is simply a joke."

"They seem to have forgotten that both the RISC-V architecture and the X86 architecture were invented by us in the West."
