Chapter 2388: Taking an Unconventional Path

Samsung's best semiconductor technology is in storage.

And storage is the most important product in the semiconductor industry.

In addition to storage technology, Yang Fei wants to discuss chip technology with Samsung.

Many people only know that Samsung sells mobile phones, and they don't know that the mobile phone industry is just one of Samsung's many businesses.

Samsung's real strength is the storage and chip industry.

Speaking of Samsung's chip history, it can be traced back to thirty years ago.

Samsung was originally a company that made dried fish, and later gradually became a home appliance, and home appliances need chips. At that time, Samsung's chips were mainly imported from Japan.

In the 1970s, the Japanese suddenly strangled Samsung's neck and stopped selling chips to Samsung.

Without chips, Samsung's home appliances such as TVs are equivalent to having no brains, so Samsung's home appliance business function can only be discontinued.

Samsung's founder Lee Byung-chul felt extremely humiliated by the Japanese, so he didn't care about life and death. If Japan didn't provide chips, he would produce them himself. Lee Byung-chul also gave a death order that chips must be developed.

The stubborn Lee Byung-chul refused to admit defeat, and couldn't swallow the resentment of being manipulated by others, so he decided to invest heavily in chip research and development. The initial investment was 170 billion won, and then he continued to increase his investment in chips. For this reason, Samsung was even in a state of loss in the first few years of chip research and development.

In 1983, semiconductor prices plummeted unprecedentedly. Japanese companies relied on technology and cost advantages to significantly reduce prices. The price of 64-bit chips plummeted from 4 to 5 US dollars to only 25 cents at the lowest.

At that time, the cost of Samsung's production of 64-bit chips was 1.3 US dollars, which means that Samsung needs to pay 1 US dollar for each chip produced.

It is said that Samsung lost 300 million US dollars in 1983, which was not a small amount at the time.

Even at a loss, Samsung still insists on increasing its investment in chips.

It is this spirit of adventure and persistence that makes Samsung laugh in the end.

After achieving success, Samsung did not relax its investment in research and development, but further increased its investment in research and development.

Chip research and development cannot be completed in one or two days, but requires a period of accumulation, which may face many uncertainties and risks. If Samsung gave up during the period because of losses, it is estimated that Samsung would not be able to get to where it is today.

Samsung has stood the test of time and became the first in the semiconductor memory market in 1993. Since then, Samsung has not stepped down from this position for 10 years.

This road that Samsung has walked, now it is the turn of optoelectronics.

South Korea has completed the road of independent research and development and is no longer being strangled by others.

And our country is still in the initial stage.

In order to catch up, Yang Fei still has a lot to do.

At that time, Samsung's development received strong support from the Korean national level.

Yang Fei also reached the top through Comrade Li Yi and obtained the best policy support.

The support at the national level provides the most favorable soil for the development and growth of optoelectronics.

Without the attention and support of the country, Yang Fei's development of semiconductors would be at least nine levels more difficult.

During the negotiation with Samsung, Yang Fei felt great resistance.

Samsung's agreement to cooperate with Yang Fei was conditional.

Yang Fei now has many patented mobile phone technologies.

These technologies benefit from Yang Fei's advanced ideas and a large amount of research and development investment.

If Samsung wants to develop its mobile phone business, it cannot do without Yang Fei's patented technologies.

Yang Fei certainly won't let them get them for nothing, and Samsung doesn't want to pay too much.

The negotiations between the two sides lasted for three days and entered a stalemate.

Yang Fei didn't ask for much, he just wanted to get the storage and chip technologies that were about to be eliminated.

Samsung's representative Li Xiangzhe was only willing to provide product supply and didn't want to sell the technology to Yang Fei.

Even if they were outdated technologies and equipment, they were unwilling to sell them.

This day, after the negotiations, it was another day without results.

Yang Fei invited Jin Shanmei to dinner on the yacht.

Jin Shanmei happily accepted the appointment.

"What a beautiful city!" Jin Shanmei looked at the buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River and sighed, "China's development is really changing with each passing day."

"Yes, after a few years, you can't find the old way." Yang Fei smiled, "Seoul is also developing rapidly."

A sumptuous dinner was prepared on the yacht.

Yang Fei did not invite other people on board because he had something good to discuss with her.

Jin Shanmei looked at the flowers and red wine on the table, smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, did you invite any other girl?"

Yang Fei said: "It's you."

"Me?" Jin Shanmei said, "I don't dare to accept it."

"Miss Jin, don't belittle yourself. A beauty like you, as long as you are not blind, would want to show your courtesy to you."

Jin Shanmei smiled and said: "I am flattered."

Yang Fei held up the red wine glass: "Please."

Jin Shanmei and Yang Fei gently touched the glass.

They each took a sip.

Yang Fei's eyes, through the tall glass, looked at her pretty face.

Kim Sun-mi has a fair complexion and no signs of plastic surgery can be seen on her face.

Plastic surgery in Korea is one of the four major evil arts in Asia.

"The Four Evil Arts of Asia" refers to the male-to-female transformation in Thailand, plastic surgery in South Korea, makeup in Japan, and PS in my country.

This year, PS in my country has not become popular.

But plastic surgery in South Korea has already made its mark.

All Korean stars have had plastic surgery to varying degrees.

This is why Yang Fei looked closely at Kim Sun Mi's face.

Unexpectedly, this girl is indeed original!

Rare.

Kim Sun Mi felt Yang Fei's gaze, and her face couldn't help but feel hot.

Yang Fei smiled slightly: "Miss Jin, I have something I want to ask you for help."

Jin Shanmei was not fascinated by Yang Fei's handsomeness, and smiled: "If it is a negotiation, then I really can't do anything. You can see that Mr. Li Xiangzhe has been in charge of the negotiations these days, and I don't even have a chance to interrupt."

Yang Fei said: "Miss Jin, I haven't said anything yet, and you are talking to me at a distance? Isn't this too bad?"

Jin Shanmei said: "I'm not refusing, I'm just afraid that I can't do it and let Mr. Yang down. Mr. Yang, please tell me what you want. As long as I I will definitely do whatever I can. "

Yang Fei said: "Let's be frank. I want to get Samsung's technology. It doesn't matter if it's outdated."

Jin Shanmei smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, aren't you already negotiating?"

Yang Fei said: "I found that it is very difficult to obtain Samsung's technology through formal channels. So, I want to take a different approach and only ask Miss Jin for help."

Jin Shanmei's eyes flashed, and she said: "How can I help? If it involves something that harms our company, then I can't help you. I hope Mr. Yang understands and understands this point."
