Chapter 376 Myopia and Perseverance
Lighthouse Country has completely lifted the ban on exporting high-tech products.
Especially in the chip field, the most advanced chips are allowed to be exported to the outside world and sold to Xiaguo technology companies, and no longer have restrictions.
Of course, it is limited to the civilian chip field.
The Lighthouse Country, which had been implemented for several years to suppress high-tech enterprises in Xia Kingdom, implemented a policy of cutting off supply and embargo, and made every effort to sanction and suppress the lighthouse, suddenly made a 180-degree turn, as if it had become kind and reasonable.
In fact, the Lighthouse Kingdom is still the same Lighthouse Kingdom, and it is always the lighthouse Kingdom where "it must be unreasonable where you can be unreasonable. If you start to reason, you will be forced to the point where you have no choice."
Now they have been forced to no avail.
After several years of hard work and industrial policy support, Xia Guo's chip design and manufacturing capabilities have been greatly improved.
The self-sufficiency rate of computer CPU chips has reached 20%.
The self-sufficiency rate of memory chips has reached 55%.
The self-sufficiency rate of memory chips has reached 38%.
The self-sufficiency rate of other chips is generally above 30%, and only a few types of chips have a self-sufficiency rate of less than 10%.
Compared with the general self-sufficiency rate of 0% or less than 1% ten years ago, the chip autonomy capability has been greatly improved.
Even though most independent chips have a certain gap with foreign chips in terms of performance, power consumption, stability, etc., the process process is generally one to two generations behind, and the cost-effectiveness is not high. It is a bit difficult to achieve the goal of 70% chip self-sufficiency rate by 2025.
even so!
Many chip companies in Xiaguo have solved the problem of domestic chips. Next, as long as the chip quality, output, performance, reliability and continuous optimization and iteration will continue, within five years at most, the chip quality and performance of Xiaguo will definitely not be weaker than that of foreign countries!
It can gradually replace the market share of imported chips and become stronger and stronger in the future.
So the Lighthouse Kingdom became anxious.
The decision-making level of the Lighthouse Country, which originally didn't want to sell a high-performance chip to Xiaguo Technology Company, wanted to starve Xiaguo Technology Company to death, is now completely panicked and then lifted all restrictions on sales bans.
After all, if the restrictions are not lifted, their chips can only be all in their hands, and they will not be able to sell a single one in the future.
Not only can you make a penny!
Due to the loss of the world's largest electronic product consumer market, many chip companies in Lighthouse countries have fallen into a huge revenue crisis, with revenue generally plummeting by more than 30%.
Not to mention the growth and increase investment in scientific research, a large number of employees are required to lay off. The R&D departments are even more disbanded, and those who are poached are poached, and technological progress is stagnant.
If this continues, when the chips developed by Xia Guo Technology companies occupy the market and improve their R&D capabilities, their losses will be extremely heavy.
So I can only turn 180 degrees. I used to be a gold-like chip, and I also sold it in large quantities, and even dropped the price significantly, which was a trend of cabbage.
Of course, why did the attitude of Lighthouse Country change, and why did high-end chips be collected without restrictions? Anyone with a little IQ and vision can understand the reason.
"Haha, this is a naked plot. I'm quite skillful in playing it. And this trick seems to be very good. There are always some stupid people who easily fall into this trap, just about to write stupid words on their foreheads."
Xu Ming sneered, feeling quite unhappy.
"No one who can climb to that position is actually a fool."
Lan Mengxin explained: "Those leaders of Maotai Group also gave their reasons to convince you and me."
"One, chip manufacturing is a long-term investment project. If you go 10 billion, you can only hear a sound. The return cycle is not ten or eight years, and it is at least five years."
"The second is that in terms of technical level, chip manufacturing is like aircraft engines, and it is difficult to overtake on the curve. It is unlikely to reach or catch up with the most advanced technical level. It can only accumulate bit by bit. Even if the technical gap is narrowed, in the market, the winners take all, and the chip with the highest performance can take away the biggest cake and make most of the profits."
"Because the raw materials of chips are similar, they are mainly silicon elements, but at the same cost, as long as the performance is 10% ahead and the price is similar, chips with lower performance can only gain a very small market share and drink a small sip of soup."
"Spend more money, long return cycle, and difficulty in occupying the market are these characteristics that make those leaders choose to retreat."
"After all, if you have an additional profit of more than one billion yuan a year, it is better to use chips with less bright prospects to invest in chips. It is better to do some short-term and fast projects, or buy a few more properties in first-tier cities, or even share the money and get a year-end bonus of hundreds of thousands at the end of the year."
"In addition, due to the support of relevant industrial policies, there are hundreds or thousands of chip companies in China established in recent years. It is not bad for us. In Xiaguo's chip industry, there will be professional chip companies to carry it. Maotai is just a wine company. If you go into non-professional chip manufacturing, it is just a hot topic. You may not make huge progress, and the potential risks are very high."
Lan Mengxin said a lot, but in fact she was just a sentence, an excuse to save money.
Shancai is hard to give up. It’s better to spend more than one billion yuan in funds every year. Why do you have to make some high-risk investments?
"Since that's the case, the very sweet water sold to Maotai Group in the future will be reduced from 200,000 bottles per day to 100,000 bottles. If they want to give up their investment in chip manufacturing companies, I will also reduce their cooperation with them."
Xu Ming said, Maotai Company is willing to fall into depravity and those leaders are short-sighted, so he doesn't have to be polite, so he can get what they want.
"I've told them about this, too."
Lan Mengxin said: "But Maotai's attitude is very firm. Even if we cut the quota of 100,000 bottles per day, they still do not intend to continue investing in chip manufacturing. I guess their idea is to increase the rush to buy online shopping channels. Even if the price per bottle of water is increased by one or two hundred yuan, it is better than spending money into chip manufacturing. Because this is more cost-effective than investing in the chip industry, so I made up my mind."
"What if I directly reduce the yield of very sweet water by 100,000 bottles so that they can't buy it?"
Xu Ming suddenly became popular. Those short-sighted people were so beautiful that they actually had such an idea!
"If the supply is reduced, our revenue will be reduced. The chip manufacturing company will be able to maintain it and can only close down. Xiao Ming, what should we do? Should we give up the chip manufacturing project and not consider continuing to develop?" Lan Mengxin.
"Of course I won't give up this!"
