Technological Hegemony

This time, Luo Jia seems to have underestimated the determination of the Chinese nation. The cruel reality has taught the Chinese people a deep lesson. Everyone no longer has any illusions about a peaceful rise, so under the persuasion of Mr. Ren and other business leaders Under this situation, Star Technology put all its eggs in one basket and refused to negotiate with North America.

As for the blockade of memory chips, the rapid expansion of smuggling channels has largely alleviated the shortage of domestic parts, just like when people desperately brought Apple mobile phones from overseas to Huaxia. A large number of smuggled memory chips are sent to factories all over the country every day.

From November to December, and from December to January, the whole of China was waiting in forbearance. Star Technology rarely canceled the New Year holiday. In the tense atmosphere of full overtime, the company entered the sixth year.

On the day at the end of January, An Ran came to Luo Jia with a tired look, and Shen Lang happened to be there too. He was proudly puffing out his chest and reporting to Luo Jia the annual report of the subsidiary Star Entertainment last year.

The cultural and entertainment front, which is in charge of the geniuses of Star University, has achieved impressive results in the past year. Its films, TV, novels, games, advertising endorsements, variety show interviews and other projects are expanding globally with an invincible momentum. .

Although it is unrealistic to expect the little guys to seize cultural hegemony in a short period of time, Star Entertainment has become a qualified challenger in the field of cultural entertainment.

Especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia, these regions that are culturally similar to China, Xingchen Entertainment has won half of the country, Luo Feng, Anna, Han Xiao, the superheroes launched by Xingchen Group, have faintly and Marvel Universe And the tendency of the DC universe to fight back.

After instructing Shen Lang on his responsibilities as a leader, Luo Jia let him go. The world of geniuses is always unconstrained, and Luo Jia didn't want to intervene too much, which would cause geniuses to have no way to play freely.

To cultivate geniuses who conquer the world, we must first give them enough trust. Let the cultural and entertainment front be handed over to Xingchen University. No matter how much money they spend, Luo Jia will not care whether they can achieve results in the end, as long as they are geniuses It's time to practice before entering the parent company. After all, the technological front is their final stage.

After Shen Lang left, Luo Jia asked An Ran what she was looking for, An Ran smiled, and said to Luo Jia indifferently: "It's done, luckily I fulfilled my mission."

"So fast!?"

After Luo Jia blurted out this sentence, he immediately regretted it. Looking at An Ran's thick dark circles like pandas, he knew how many nights and efforts the hardware department had spent on this. He just threw the golden dome solution to the hardware department. , but the engineers in the hardware department are responsible for turning the blueprint into reality, which is difficult for outsiders to imagine.

"Thank you everyone." Luo Jia said, "When the semiconductor project is completed, I will give the hardware department a half-year vacation."

An Ran said quite indifferently: "It's still half a year's vacation, the company is so busy, it's already thankful to have half a month's vacation, so that everyone can have a peaceful and stable year, let's go, if you are free now, come Let's go and see."

...

The huge circular graphene wafer has completed all the processes from cleaning to etching on the lithography machine, and then it is divided into chip bodies by laser, which are not as big as the thumbnail. Finally, it is packaged and electrically tested. The bottom is left with neat rows of gold contacts.

This is a product used to replace memory and flash memory. They are compatible with old computers and serve old computers.

The other one is amazing. The real embedded design, processor, master control, logic, and storage are all packaged into a whole, which is also the size of a small thumbnail, but the level has reached an astonishing five hundred and ten second floor.

"The old-fashioned memory and flash memory using next-generation technology are actually not cost-effective for us." An Ran shrugged, and said to Luo Jia: "What are you doing upgrading those old computers? It would be better if everyone just replaced them with new ones."

Luo Jia shook his head, "The most important thing in business is to be honest, you can't buy and sell by force. The model we launched a few months ago adopted a separate design for the processor and storage. Now that we have an ultra-integrated chip, we can Regardless of the life and death of old customers?"

"Impossible. Old customers are not as good as dogs. That is Unicom's practice, not ours. Since we have provided products to customers, we have to be responsible to the end. We can afford the money for new storage for customers. The money is for others. I don’t know what it means to be a business, but for us at Stellar Technology, money is just a tool to achieve our goals.”

That night, after several rounds of tests, Star Technology's storage products fully met the design requirements, and Luo Jia and An Ran were greatly relieved.

"It's not too late to prepare for the press conference." Luo Jia thought for a few minutes and said to the colleagues in the administration department.

...

Whenever people refer to terms such as high-tech or semiconductors, they are always habitually associated with Silicon Valley in California. However, in fact, not all important high-tech companies in North America are located in Silicon Valley. For example, Boeing In Seattle, and Microsoft is in Redmond next door to Seattle.

Micron, the world's second largest memory chip manufacturer, is headquartered in Idaho, a state that many Chinese people have never heard of, next to British Columbia, Canada. Although it is not a barren place, it is It is definitely not prosperous.

At this moment, the Micron Group headquarters located in the not-so-busy state of Idaho suddenly ushered in three heavyweight guests, namely Dr. Special Assistant to Mr. von Mitterrand.

President Adams of the Micron Group was surprised and shocked by the visit of these three people. They are all out-and-out big shots. Dr. Jay Ryan of Bell Labs is the standard bearer of the White House in the field of science and technology, and Houllier Doctors represent the behind-the-scenes funders of the technology industry and the power of Wall Street. As for Mr. Mitterrand, he is the most trusted aide of the President and holds many secrets that must be brought to the grave.

In Adams' office, after some hypocritical but polite greetings, Chairman Houllier finally revealed his intentions. In fact, even if he didn't say anything, Adams could guess that there was nothing else besides that thing. able to lure them to remote Idaho at the same time.

"Looks like it's about time?"

"Ok."

"That's right, the memory chips we prepare for the next generation."

"It's a pity that the next-generation storage should have been launched together with Intel's ultra-nano process, but Star Technology's offensive is too fierce, we have to change the plan, and launch the seventh-generation DDR memory before launching the next-generation CPU, and Next-generation flash memory, 3DXPOINT high-density storage system."

"Well, who made us receive technical support from NASA and Oak Ridge Laboratory when developing these technologies? Specifically, when should we Micron Group release these next-generation technologies?"

"tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Doesn't that just coincide with the memory chip conference of Xingchen Technology?"

"That's right, that's what you want. Release products on the same day as those yellow-skinned monkeys. Since the tragedies of Samsung and Apple, no one has dared to do this."

The words of the President's special envoy Mitterrand made everyone sigh, and at the same time, a flash of hatred flashed in their eyes.

After the famous mobile phone war ended, Xingchen Technology released many products and technologies, and held many product conferences, but no one from the west dared to publicly challenge Xingchen Technology.

Thinking about the disastrous defeat of Samsung and Apple back then, it is not difficult to understand that everyone took the initiative to avoid the days when Xingchen Technology released new products. After all, a large part of the reputation of the tough guy Tiantuan is based on others.

Dr. Houllier analyzed quite sophisticatedly: "So far, among the two technologies of memory and flash memory, China has only mastered a part of memory technology, which is the DDR3 generation of Tsinghua Unigroup, with a frequency of 1600."

"So you can see how weak Huaxia is in the field of memory chips. They can't even manufacture fourth-generation DDR chips, they can only produce the outdated third-generation chips, and what we are about to launch is the seventh-generation DDR!"

"In this case, we have nothing to worry about. Even if Xingchen Technology is strong, even if they have solved the fourth-generation DDR technology, even if their production technology is very good, they can create a 0.1-nanometer process, so that a single The storage capacity of the chip has been greatly improved."

"But so what!?"

"I have seen the memory module integrated in the processor by Star Technology, the fourth generation DDR, 2666 frequency, the standard outdated product!"

Houllier is worthy of being the chairman of the Semiconductor Alliance. His analysis is quite professional, which gave Micron's President Adams great confidence, and felt that he would definitely embarrass Star Technology to his grandma's house this time.

Judging from the experimental products that flowed out from secret channels, Star Technology's CPU is equipped with outdated fourth-generation DDR, and there is no possibility of defeating Micron's seventh-generation products.

However, the idea is always beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Regarding the discussion on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Luo Jia just wanted to say, you only use DDR, and your whole family uses DDR!
