Chapter 644 Technology Diffusion

"What I want to do is very simple.≠∴,w+ww.23∧wx.cvom"

Zhou Shuo's eyes flashed across everyone's face and said seriously: "I plan to spread the technology mastered by Fanhan Group in China."

"Technology spread? This is not causing trouble for yourself..."

As soon as the opponent spoke, he gradually couldn't continue. He was just talking about avoiding the formation of a monopoly in the Panhan Group. So isn't it a better choice to just rely on foreign-funded enterprises to occupy the market and spread technology to domestic manufacturers?

As long as everyone thinks about it, they understand that this is indeed the best choice at present. Diffusion technology does not mean that it will threaten the status of Fanhan Group itself. The fact that Fanhan Group can achieve its current achievements is due to Fanhan Research Institute and Zhou Shuo.

The strong scientific research strength and foundation of Panhan Research Institute, Zhou Shuo's outstanding vision and advanced research direction in the semiconductor industry are the foundation of Panhan Group's career.

As long as Fanhan Group still has the Panhan Research Institute and the helmsman of Fanhan Group is still Zhou Shuo, there is no need to worry that Fanhan Group will be chased by other domestic companies.

But if there are more choices and more competitors, the development of the domestic electronics industry will not continue to be handled in this way, and it will eventually become a stagnant pool in the future.

"Of course it is not an indiscriminate diffusion, but a targeted diffusion. We must not only ensure that the domestic semiconductor industry is flourishing, but also ensure the status of industry leaders and big capital."

Zhou Shuo explained: "With the improvement of technology, the cost of fabs in the future will increase at an exponential level like Moore's Law. I imagine a little bit that when it reaches an extremely deep ultraviolet-level lithography machine below 10nm, the cost of one of the most recent wafer factories should be higher than that of a wafer factory today. Similarly, its R&D costs will increase dozens of times more than the current R&D costs. Therefore, we cannot disperse our power in such technologies. Instead, we must continuously strengthen our competitiveness with foreign companies in the same industry..."

He said that everyone's faces suddenly improved a lot. The engineers, scientists and executives of Fanhan Group were not afraid of competition. They were just worried that Zhou Shuo would overcorrectly.

Since you know that he is still rational, then continue to believe his judgment. After all, this is no longer a problem with a factory, a department, or even the Panhan Group itself, but a problem with the future development of the entire industry.

In this conference room, and even in China, those who are thinking about problems from his height may be counted with one hand.

"And we need to relax some aspects, so that competition can promote the development of the industry and promote our own innovative forces."

Zhou Shuo lowered his head and thought for a while, and wrote two strokes on paper with a pen in his hand. Then he continued.

"For example, the x86 architecture desktop computer accessories we planned before, this is the largest electronic product imported from the United States. Let's not talk about cpu for the time being, the patents and technical barriers here are too high. But in addition, motherboards, memory and graphics cards, and hard disks, just relying on our own strength, it may take three to five years to complete market development."

"Yes, this was our previous expectation. The countryside surrounds the city and first squeeze Americans out in these markets with relatively low technical requirements. If the accessories of the entire system cannot keep up with the development speed of CPU, the x86 architecture will naturally collapse like a castle on the beach."

"But the question is, by our own strength alone, will we be able to compete with American companies in an all-round way? If we put forward such a plan, will we face internal and external difficulties?"

"Internal and external difficulties. Mr. Zhou, do you mean that domestic companies will also oppose our plans..."

Not all of us here are business talents, and scientists and engineers obviously have little experience in this area. Zhou Shuo's statement seems to be insufficient to make them understand.

"Yes, although it's a bit ashamed to say that. But I think that if this line is always controlled by Americans, domestic manufacturers may have no choice but to admit it. But if we clearly have the technology in our hands and want to eat alone, we will definitely be hostile to those downstream companies. It should be said that this is human nature."

"Yes, I think it will be true." The one who knows the most about the so-called downstream in the conference room is probably Tu Anbei. The Dream Group he had previously participated in is the boss of domestic brand machines. Think about it, if the supplier of Dream Group changed from a group of American companies to a Chinese company, even if the cost will drop by more than 50%, he will definitely be resentful to death.

Everyone in the conference room whispered a few words and nodded with fear. As long as you put yourself in the shoes of downstream manufacturers, you should understand that mood.

"Of course, our Fanhan Group is not afraid of anyone's resentment. But from the perspective of the domestic semiconductor industry, technology spread will be the best choice."

"For example, Great Wall Group has always been very knowledgeable about the manufacturing of hard drives. Most of the domestic data storage market is mastered by them. Instead of producing hard drives ourselves and letting them represent foreign companies to compete with us, why not pull them to develop domestic hard drives? As long as the technology is in place, American hard drive companies can be squeezed out of China immediately."

A scientist present nodded and said in agreement: "This makes sense. In fact, I know that Great Wall Group has always had plans to independently develop domestic hard drives. I worked hard in the 1990s, but unfortunately it failed."

Zhou Shuo smiled. He could see this clearly in later generations. Great Wall Group launched domestic hard drives in 1999, but it was really uncompetitive in terms of technology and cost, and it was only a flash in the pan. However, they did not give up this path, but always maintained the goal of domestic hard drives.

By 2014, 75% of Seagate's hard drives were manufactured by Great Wall Group, and there were more than 5,000 patented technologies related to hard drives and hard drive manufacturing. However, in terms of hard drive manufacturing technology, Seagate is actually completely inseparable from Great Wall.

A group like this, as long as they are given a chance, they will definitely soar into the sky.

"It's not just a hard drive. Although Dream Group is now doing computer assembly without any technology, it has also designed and manufactured motherboards by itself. Mr. Tu should be able to contact this group of people now, right?"

Seeing Tu Anbei nodding, Zhou Shuo smiled with satisfaction: "We have taken advantage of the Asian financial crisis to acquire 58% of Asus' shares. Baodao's human resources cost has increased significantly over the years. I think we can increase the production base in Gusu, move production to China, and gradually arrange technicians. On Baodao, just leave an administrative shell."

It can be said that thanks to the Asian financial crisis, many East Asian companies that had previously operated well had financial problems of varying degrees. Although Asus had already shown its brilliance at this time, it had no ability to resist at all when facing the Liuer Investment Fund, which was waving huge capital.

After Yitong Buy Buy, Asus, which was originally created by four people, all three founders sold a considerable portion of their stocks. Finally, with the stocks acquired from the market, Liuer Fund successfully acquired this future Fortune 500.

The biggest gain among this is undoubtedly ASUS's technical strength. ASUS's technology in the x86 system is very advanced, not only in terms of research on motherboards, graphics cards, servers, etc., but also has deep technical reserves.

The acquisition of Asus not only allowed Fanhan Group to master advanced motherboard design and manufacturing technology, but more importantly, it mastered the system integration capabilities of the entire x86 architecture computer and could combine the entire layout.

Tu Anbei nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, these people are my subordinates back then, and I believe it will be no difficulty to reconvene them."

It’s not just not difficult. Tu Anbei certainly knew that as long as he missed some of his mouth, these people would come over with a scream. What is this? This is giving money!

"In addition, we also acquired 3dfx. Although their voodoo graphics cards failed in the market, their foundation is still there. Moreover, Asus itself also has a graphics card department, which can be fully combined to try to launch the next generation of voodoo graphics cards. The most important thing is that it allows us to master the design capabilities of GPUs."

"My idea is this: design a GPU with advanced performance and then spread the design and manufacturing technology of graphics cards. We only produce two or three high, medium and low-end graphics cards ourselves, mainly to encourage domestic manufacturers to do specific graphics card development work."

Liu Gang thoughtfully and nodded, "I think this is fine. I know there is an enterprise called Shihe Information. Although it is mainly a Baodao brand agent, it is very ambition in technology."

"Shihe Information?" Zhou Shuo had his brain and suddenly remembered that this was the Colorful Rainbow of the later generations? Although the Colorful Rainbow's motherboard has been criticized a lot, there is still a set of graphics cards. So he said happily: "Yes, this company can cooperate."

Zhou Shuo previously felt that the domestic electronics industry seemed deserted, but found that Chinese companies did not have ambitions, but they just had no chance.

As long as you look carefully, you can always find companies that are willing to do technology. As long as you have an opportunity to stand at the starting line, these companies may not lose to Americans.

Slap—

Zhou Shuo clapped his hands, stood up excitedly, looked around the people in the conference room, and said with relief.
