Chapter 426 We have plans but we don't have time
It is winter, the weather is getting colder, and leaves are flying on the streets.
In this cold and cold area, bad news finally came from the other side of the Pacific. Under the remote control of North America, major memory chip manufacturers around the world have unified the supply of memory chips to China, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on the newly set sail China semiconductor industry.
"Bastard! Didn't you agree to compete freely? You'll start playing with the silence when you can't beat Xingchen Technology!"
"You ignorant people, it's not been a day or two for Lighthouse Country to implement double standards. If they lead, they compete freely, and if they fall behind, they block sanctions. This has been the case for many years."
"I discovered when I was studying in North America before that white people are more hypocritical than us. No matter whether they are familiar or not, they hug and ask about their well-being as soon as they meet, turn around, and have a fucking cold face."
"Hey, what's the use of saying this now? The memory chip has been banned. There are three key chips inside the computer, processors, and bridge control. The last one is storage. Without memory and flash memory, we can't even make a computer."
"Transco Group has domestic memory chips, but the output is too low. Not to mention supplying the whole country, supplying a city in Shanghai is not enough."
"Xingchen Technology's ambition is too great. The negotiation team of the Semiconductor Alliance came before the Chinese New Year. As a result, Luo Jia insisted on playing with others for a whole year. Now, it's good. Once the key materials are cut off, I see how he ends. It's impossible for China to have no memory chips."
"What's the hurry? At worst, we can continue to negotiate."
"Hey, it seems that I have to do this, give up some of the benefits to those white-skinned pigs in exchange for memory chips."
Netizens were talking about it. They were angry about the bullying in the West and expressed concern about the situation of Star Technology. Industry experts have already spoken that cutting off the supply of memory chips is almost a nuclear strike for China, and I am afraid that the technology industry will not be able to hold on for even a month.
...
"When is it now? You still have the heart to see the scenery. You are so calm." Huawei's President Ren sat in Luo Jia's office and said with a wry smile.
He rushed to Shanghai overnight to see Luo Jia. Of course, it was because of the memory chip. After a few simple conversations, Luo Jia looked at the yellow river outside the window and chuckled gently, which made Mr. Ren, who was so nervous that he could not insomnia, feel incredible.
Luo Jia turned around and shrugged, "It's not that I don't care, but it's useless to be anxious now. North America's attitude is very obvious. The fight is just for negotiation. They are looking forward to it now and want us to return to the negotiating table. However, no matter what I think, it's always unhappy to be forced to negotiate by others."
Mr. Ren responded: "I'm not happy either. Huawei's servers, pcs, and laptops are taking over the market from a certain person. Give me another two years to drive those bastards back to North America!"
"It's just that at this critical moment, the memory chip was stuck. Who should I ask for to reason?"
"Whether it is the x86 architecture or the star architecture, the architecture changes again, and storage is always needed. Without memory chips, our factory can only last for one week and will be shut down next week."
Luo Jia sighed, and it was not just Huawei who was anxious. Without memory chips, it was not just the computer industry, including mobile phones, TVs, and even cars, air conditioners and washing machines. All of them needed a large number of memory chips.
Why do even washing machines use memory chips?
The reason is very simple. With the development of intelligent home appliances and the Internet of Things, all home appliances are now rapidly evolving towards microcomputers. The built-in programs, networked programs, and intelligent errors are reported by washing machines. These software are all installed in memory, but the memory chips used for home appliances are of low grade and cheaper, which are only a few yuan a piece.
Anyway, simply put, without memory chips, all the Huaxia technology industry will be in vain, production has stagnated, and electronic products cannot be found to repair the parts after they are damaged. North America joins forces with Japan and South Korea to sanction China's memory chips, which is definitely a ruthless move.
"I don't know if I can hold on in three months." Luo Jia touched her chin with her hand and muttered to herself.
"What did you say?" Mr. Ren asked curiously without understanding Luo Jia's meaning.
Luo Jia looked up, glanced at Mr. Ren, and then said in a deep voice: "Come with me and take you to see a few old friends."
...
The project team is busy and busy. In addition to the R&D team of Xingchen Technology, there are also troops from the four major storage legions.
Jinhua, Ziguang, Changjiang, and Changxin are four chess pieces laid out by our country in the storage field. For this reason, the national team has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in huge funds.
However, due to the lack of technology and talents, the four major storage groups have been living a hard life. The more successful example is Tsinghua Unisex. Unisex memory sticks are now available on the market. Although Unisex lags behind the international advanced level in terms of speed, capacity, and output, it is also a success from scratch.
The worst thing is Jinhua, Fujian. They purchased the technology of UWAN and dug a technical team from UWAN. However, they were sued by Micron Group, North America on suing the court on suspicion of stealing technology. In the end, the North American authorities ruled that the technology theft case of Jinhua Group and UWAN Group was established, and Jinhua Group needed to pay a fine of 20 billion US dollars.
Jinhua is the smallest among the four major storage groups in China, and the fine of 20 billion US dollars is enough to be a catastrophe. Therefore, when Luo Jia proposed to cooperate, Jinhua Group responded the most actively. There was no way. Assuming that they could not hold on to Xingchen Technology's thick thighs, they could only declare bankruptcy.
Anyway, in our country, those who engage in semiconductors are either liars or miserable children.
Scammers such as Hanxin, every domestic technology practitioner should always remember the name Chen Jin, a professor, doctoral supervisor, and dean of the School of Microelectronics. He bought Motorola's DSP CNC chip, and then used his ancestral sandpaper technique to polish it, and finally polished it into Hanxin, a great humiliation that my country's semiconductor industry has been in the past many years.
The abomination of Chen Jin, a bastard, is not only due to his unscrupulous deception, but also the consequences of the deception.
At one time, my country almost lost confidence in self-developed semiconductors, and from the public to the top leaders, they were very disappointed. People thought to myself, if even the dean of the Microelectronics College of Jiaotong University could take the lead in fraud, who else could they rely on for such thankless things as scientific research?
Luo Jia hated Chen Jin, but she hated some people even more. Because after the outbreak of the Hanxin incident, there was an uproar across the country. Everyone who works in semiconductors felt embarrassed to come to her grandma's house. However, even so, under the indulgence of some people and wiping their butts, Chen Jin did not take any responsibility and patted his butts and left.
In any case, history has come to this day. Chen Jin is undoubtedly a bastard, but Luo Jia is not, nor Xingchen Technology is not. They had long expected that the West would take action on storage, so they have been preparing and joined forces with the four major storage manufacturers in China to solve the storage problem in one fell swoop.
But the sanctions came too quickly, and North America took action before it was ready.
Mr. Ren witnessed all this with a surprised expression and got good news and bad news.
The good news is that the R&D team of Xingchen Technology is progressing rapidly, aiming at the next generation of high-performance storage. The integrated memory and flash memory technology has already taken shape. If launched, it will be a subversive existence.
The bad news is that it will take three months, and the Huaxia Technology industry, which does not have memory chip supply, can only support one month at most.
Luo Jia sincerely told Mr. Ren about the current situation. If he was on the North American negotiating table now, it would mean he would be stabbed hard. The butcher knife on the other side of the Pacific Ocean had been raised, and he was waiting for China to fall into the trap.
If the negotiations are refused, all China will accompany Xingchen Technology to endure hardships and endure the gap before the domestic storage is listed.
