Chapter 71 Call from Kyoto
The leaders at the meeting actually knew better than Jin Ze how important the cutting-edge chip market was to the Baiyue Alliance.
Jinze put it very bluntly.
Do these companies in the semiconductor alliance have any way out now?
Gone!
The meeting finally decided that they would join forces with upstream and downstream companies of the Baiyue Alliance chip to ban the import of terminal products using the Starcore No. 1 chip.
It also warned companies that have close cooperation with Xinghai that it would take a series of sanctions, including but not limited to sealing up overseas assets.
The next day, the White Alliance officially released the most extensive and powerful sanctions announcement in history.
On the day the news was released, the stock prices of Baiyue-related chip companies, led by Yiwei Da, stopped falling and showed a slow recovery trend.
Linhai, Xinghai Technology General Manager’s Office.
Jin Qiaoying held the next stage development plan sent by Fan Ren in her hand and flipped through it page by page.
Boss Fan sat opposite her and waited quietly for a reply.
He did a very good job in management. He rarely directly ordered Jin Qiaoying what to do as the chairman, but always completed everything through consultation.
The content of this plan is not complicated, and some of the proposals are even very much in line with Jin Qiaoying's ideas.
For example, by using innovative technologies to develop mechanical automation factories, and utilizing a computing model that uses StarCore-1 as the main component and StarCalc-1 as the auxiliary component, the factory can be fully automated.
The initial plan is to build 10 factories of this type at a cost of 400 billion yuan. After production, they will meet 50% of the current demand in the domestic high-end chip market.
The construction period is about one year.
This is something she strongly agrees with.
At present, the chip manufacturing plants in the science and technology park can only produce 20 to 30 pieces a month, and because the scales and models sold vary, a lot of production capacity is wasted.
A few days ago, when major chip application manufacturers came to purchase, there were not enough to sell, and each household only got a pitiful quota of tens of thousands of chips.
Therefore, it is particularly important for Xinghai Technology to increase investment in building new chip factories to increase production.
But then she was a little hesitant to agree.
Set up a metallurgical laboratory.
This is not difficult to say. After all, metallurgy does not cost much money. After all, Boss Fan has always had very imaginative ideas. If he can come up with some new products, it will be beneficial to the development of Xinghai.
But the one at the bottom is 'Establish a nuclear fusion reactor laboratory'.
This made her feel a little ridiculous.
She raised her head and looked helplessly at Fan Ren opposite her. After thinking about it, she decided to test the waters first.
"Boss Fan, what's the explanation? Why do you suddenly want to develop nuclear fusion?"
What she meant was that the chip business is currently the most important battlefield for Xinghai Technology, and it would be better to use their energy on chip upgrades and subsequent research and development.
But Fanren doesn't think so. The performance of graphene chips has been fully sufficient for current human use for quite some time. Even through optimized circuit design or further three-nanometer process, the improvement effect is very limited.
He felt that there was no problem at all leaving the chip technology to Ah Dai.
After thinking for a while, he said: "The cultivation of carbon nanotubes involves catalysts. This thing is only in my mind and it is impossible for anyone to develop it in a short time. Don't worry about the chip.
As for the nuclear fusion reactor laboratory, it must be done. This is also one of the reasons why I set up the metallurgical laboratory in advance, because I already have some ideas in my mind. "
Fan Ren did not explain in detail. Jin Qiaoying looked at him suspiciously. She didn't know what this guy was thinking, but his eyes were extremely determined.
Jin Qiaoying sighed and could only say helplessly: "It's very expensive, you know?"
Fan Ren nodded. How could he not know how expensive this thing was?
Global R&D funding for nuclear fusion projects has totaled nearly $500 billion since records began.
This is a huge amount of money invested when there is no visible result at all.
"But we have to take this path." His eyes were very determined. Jin Qiaoying looked at him straight in defeat for a long time, and she could only nod helplessly, although she was not optimistic about this project.
She may not understand the specific technical indicators, but she also knows that current nuclear fusion research cannot solve the material problem, which means that the final result cannot be seen in the bottomless pit.
Material!
metallurgy?
"Metallurgical laboratory? What do you mean?" Thinking of this, she stood up suddenly, and her chest shook due to the violent movement.
Fan Ren's eyes froze for a moment, then quickly turned away.
He did not answer directly, but said: "There is no rush for the nuclear fusion laboratory. Let's build a framework first. At present, our main focus is on factory construction."
Seeing his expression, Jin Qiaoying stopped asking questions and could only suppress her doubts and discuss the factory with him.
Halfway through, Fan Ren's phone rang.
The caller ID showed Kyoto, and although he was confused for a moment, he didn't think much about it. After all, there were not many people who knew his current phone number.
"Hello, this is the Kyoto Economic and Trade Department. May I ask if this is Chairman Fan Ren of Xinghai Technology?"
Hearing the other party introduce himself, Fan Ren subconsciously sat up straight.
"Yes, I'm Xinghai Fanren, what can I do for you?"
The person on the other end of the phone said directly without much hesitation: "It's like this. Our leader, Chief Zhang, Chief Li from the Ministry of Industry, and Chief Qin from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs plan to attend the Semiconductor Alliance Conference organized by your company in three days. Is it convenient for your company?"
After hearing this, Fan Ren was so surprised that he didn't know what to do.
During all of its development, Xinghai has never had any specific contact with China's upper echelons. The highest-ranking person it has had contact with is probably Mr. Luo from Guoxin Technology.
This phone call was like a bomb thrown into Xinghai.
The leaders of the three major departments will attend the conference in three days.
Although he was a little shocked for a moment, he couldn't figure out the specific reason and became hesitant.
Seeing this, the person on the other end of the phone began to explain, which was very rare.
"It's like this. Because of the delay in information transmission, you may not have received it yet. The White Covenant Alliance has already proposed the most severe sanctions against Xinghai Technology. The sanctions are so severe that they even affect companies that have cooperated with Xinghai."
No more words were said afterwards, but Fan Ren could already vaguely guess the reason behind it.
This is to stand up for yourself.
Xinghai has always been fighting alone. Can he now stand up and say that he has someone behind him?
Jin Qiaoying looked at Fan Ren holding the phone opposite her, a strange smile appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but wonder what the good news was.
"Well, on behalf of all the employees of Xinghai Technology, I warmly welcome the three leaders to attend the meeting."
"Okay, I will inform you of the specific arrival time of the leaders later. I'll hang up now."
After that, the phone was hung up.
Fan Ren had already seen Jin Qiaoying's puzzled look and sighed.
"Bad news, we have been sanctioned by Bai Yue again. This time the sanctions are very severe. They have announced that all companies that have cooperated with Xinghai will be subject to sanctions to varying degrees."
Jin Qiaoying was stunned when she heard this. Worry suddenly appeared on her fair face.
Ke Fanren laughed again and said, "Good news. Director Zhang from the Ministry of Commerce, Director Li from the Ministry of Industry, and Director Qin from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will attend our Semiconductor Alliance Conference in three days."
He blinked, and Jin Qiaoying's expression visibly changed to one of surprise.
Chapter 71 is under review, please wait
