Technological Hegemony

At the end of every year, the news media will always release various year-end inventory, and in this year's various inventory, Star Technology is the most eye-catching color.

Unanimously, the media used extremely exaggerated words such as miracle, greatness, and incredible to describe the achievements of Star Technology this year.

What's more interesting is that those media that release the inventory in advance often issue a supplementary explanation.

To inform the readers, in addition to optimization, display, wireless charging, optics, and the four major innovations this year, Star Technology has also inserted black hands into the upstream of semiconductors, becoming the world's largest supplier of semiconductor consumables in one fell swoop.

There is no way, Star Technology's New Year's offensive was launched late. When they attacked the world, the editors had already written the draft of the year-end inventory.

What's more interesting is that the descriptions of Xingchen Technology by the major media completely exceed people's general impression of high-tech companies.

Usually the editor's manuscripts will say that a certain company attaches great importance to research and development, or dares to innovate.

And in this year's inventory, the media have the same caliber, and put a hat full of fighting power on Xingchen Technology's head.

They used a lot of space to describe the upright nature of Xingchen Technology, especially the mental outlook that can endure hardships and fight.

It seems that it is not a high-tech enterprise, but an army.

The domestic media is generally tolerant. Regarding the fact that Xingchen Technology is completely composed of straight men of steel, it either mentions it briefly, or it is based on the consideration of combat effectiveness.

However, when it comes to foreign media articles, they are not so polite.

Time magazine rated Star Technology as the most influential company of the year, and also unceremoniously satirized the straight steel men's group.

The accompanying picture uses the four otaku protagonists in The Big Bang Theory, while the introductory text says that the reason why Xingchen Technology is dominated by men is because no women are willing to work with them.

Le Figaro is one of the most influential newspapers in France, and France is the birthplace of neoliberalism and the stronghold of feminism.

In the article in the Le Figaro newspaper, Star Technology was scolded bloody, calling them a group of sexists and a cancer in the technology industry. The success of Star Technology is an insult to women around the world and a violation of freedom. Seriously provocative.

In addition, Le Figaro also called on all women not to buy products related to Xingchen Technology, and male compatriots who support women's independence should also stay away. Let's work together to let this company with strong straight male cancer attributes go bankrupt as soon as possible. .

However, some good people helped Le Figaro to make statistics, and it is almost impossible to completely boycott the products of Star Technology.

Even if they can not buy mobile phones produced by the Big Four, almost all processors and displays in the world now use the photoresist of Star Technology in the production process.

Unless feminists are willing to go back to primitive times, no longer surf the Internet, no longer watch TV, otherwise they cannot avoid using the products of Star Technology.

In this new year, there is one more interesting thing.

The global academic community issued a joint statement. Thousands of well-known scholars signed the statement, strongly requesting that the Star Journal provide an English version.

In recent months, they have suffered too much from this journal. Academic papers require absolute rigor. Scholars always feel uneasy when reading articles translated by individuals.

What made them even more unacceptable was that since the Star Journal had never authorized anyone to translate, all the articles they saw were illegal and pirated readings.

Hundreds of thousands of scholars and professors around the world, and millions of college students and graduate students, all read pirated books together, read them with gusto, and had lively discussions after reading them.

This is shameless! ?

For many years, developed countries have repeatedly accused my country of lacking intellectual property protection,

Piracy is rampant.

Fortunately, one of the most elite intellectuals in developed countries has become a pirated reader, which is embarrassing.

Of course, Luo Jia ignored the request of the academic community. It was intended to challenge their academic hegemony. If it was changed to English, it would be a challenge.

Of course, Luo Jia did not make any provocative moves, such as asking science and nature journals to launch Chinese versions.

At the crucial point of competing for the hegemony of the operating system, Luo Jia does not want to have a conflict with anyone now if it is not necessary.

 …

All in all, ever since there was Star Technology in this world, the world has become more and more lively.

On the last day of the year-end, his parents prepared a table of good food, and Luo Jia called the company's management to his home as a guest, and by the way, discussed about the company's development next year.

"Why hasn't Wuchang come back yet? I haven't seen him for two or three months. I'm so flustered." Hong Tao muttered. He and Di Wuchang used to be roommates and had a very good relationship.

"Wuchang is still in the United States." Luo Jia took a sip of red wine, "I asked him to make some preparations there. After all, our next move will definitely cause huge waves in the United States. This time, the supply to Intel is also out of future considerations."

What's next?

Everyone showed curious eyes, and Luo Jia knew that it would be meaningless to keep it a secret, so he motioned to Li Moran to tell everyone the situation.

Li Moran, a Virgo, took his time and told everyone present about the development of the operating system by the company's software department.

After they listened, their jaws almost dropped to the ground in surprise.

No one thought that while the hardware department was in full swing to capture the global market, the software department had quietly completed such a big move!

They made the OS!

"The packaging and testing have been completed." Li Moran said, "But Google has not moved yet, so we are still hurrying up to do more tests and optimizations on the system."

"The longer the time drags on, the better it will be for us. After all, facing a powerful opponent like Google, no amount of preparation is always enough."

Everyone was at a loss for words, no wonder the software center was always working overtime, and the lights were on at night. It turned out that they were writing the operating system!

An Ran solemnly raised his wine glass and said seriously, "Brother Mo Ran, this glass is toast to you!"

Li Moran smiled, "Actually, I'm just assisting Mr. Luo's management team. The core modules are all written by Mr. Luo in his spare time. It's really not easy for him to be so busy."

Luo Jia waved his hands hastily, "I don't need to say anything polite, let's drink this glass of wine together."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Luo Jia put down the glass and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"All in all, all our plans for next year will revolve around the operating system, and we will concentrate all our efforts to get this done."

"Li Moran's current task in the United States is to form a legal team and a lobbying team."

"After all, we are going to touch the foundation of old America. The three major operating systems in the world are all controlled by the Americans. It's okay if we lose. If we win, there will definitely be strong reactions there. I don't know how many members of the Senate. Will jump out and attack us bloody, Di Wuchang is doing work to deal with the future response of the United States."

An Ran nodded, looking suddenly enlightened.

"No wonder you want to sell the seventh-grade photoresist to giants like Intel and Texas Instruments. At that time, I wondered. If it is only sold in the domestic market, it will greatly improve the quality of those Chinese semiconductor companies headed by SMIC. Why do you have to sell it to the Americans.”

"It turns out that once the war with Google breaks out, we can have enough allies in the United States!" An Ran said.

Everyone was moved, what is planning for a rainy day?

This is!

Long before the war started, Luo Jia had already deployed in the United States.

Once the war starts, if the U.S. authorities sanction Xingchen Technology, they will be in trouble. Giant companies such as Intel and Texas Instruments use Xingchen Technology's photoresist, which is very good, and suddenly they are not allowed to use it. They are sure Do not agree.

Hong Tao frowned, "Looking at it this way, Samsung, LG, Hynix, and those Koreans will take orders from us, too?"

Luo Jia smiled, "Yes, why not?"

"Children only distinguish between right and wrong, adults only talk about interests!"

"Samsung and Hynix are the overlords of the global storage industry after all. Among the other two players, Toshiba Storage has been acquired by a consortium headed by the United States and South Korea. Micron's production capacity cannot meet the needs of our country, and its technology level is also lower."

"So, South Korea is currently the world's de facto monopoly in the storage industry. Once they cut off China's supply, the result will be very troublesome. Therefore, we have to deeply bind them so that Koreans dare not think about memory chips. If they dare to break our goods, we will break their photoresist."

Everyone nodded.

International competition is a very complicated game. It is also a good choice to carry out deep binding with Samsung and Hynix before they have the ability to replace them.

Take the mobile phone industry as an example. No matter how fierce the war is, the four domestic giants will still use Korean-made memory chips. This is industry binding, and no one can do without the other.

Everyone drank a lot of wine and talked very enthusiastically. When the New Year's bell rang, they came to the yard and looked at the distant night sky.

Although the goal is the stars and the sea, the road needs to be walked step by step.

I thought this year would be lively enough, but Luo Jia's plan for next year was even crazier!
