Chapter 776: Giants Really Disdain

/

The autumn of 2011 may become a separator in many people's memory.

In this autumn, the competition between China and the West in the core scientific and technological fields of basic science has completely turned to the surface.

The domestic frontier is heading towards a lonely road of countercurrent challenges.

No matter how the world changes, it always maintains a kind of almost harsh "suicide" R&D investment strategy.

Correspondingly, overseas is obscure and ambiguous.

On the evening of the day when Frontier proposed the N+B strategy, in the early morning of Eastern Time, a confrontation that was transferred to the financial market officially began...

As early as 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time, holding the button to update tweets ignited the enthusiasm of the people who stayed up late in the United States.

"shit!"

"fxxk!"

"Damn vampire!"

"..."

At first, countless netizens could only express their incompetence and rage.

All kinds of national curses emerge in endlessly.

However, there is another important message in the key-holding tweet, a forum URL.

And the slogan of this forum: YOLO.

Taking a closer look, this forum is almost the meaning of the base camp of retail investors.

Although it was early in the morning, the small forum was quite active because of related bearish news.

"YouOnlyLiveOnce! Yes, life should be enjoyed!"

"Holding the keys is indeed very shrewd, and it suddenly dawned on me."

"Should I do something else?"

"But what can we retail investors do?"

"..."

Fang Nian also took a fancy to the promotional slogan of this WSB forum, YOLO, isn't it just that if you win the clubhouse, you will be happy, and if you lose, you will go to work in the sea.

It is too in line with the inner expectations of most American people.

It is also very in line with the mentality of retail investors.

If you don't have much money on hand, only YOLO can give you comfort.

Holding the key also has an account on the small forum, and almost without special introduction, he has become half an "opinion leader".

"Otherwise, we'll still listen to what the holding key says?"

"I think he is very talented. A rich man like Donte can talk and laugh."

"Yes, I have seen many times that his tweets have been liked by Tang Te, and Tang Te has also followed him."

"..."

"I've been buying calls recently. If it really falls, I will go bankrupt again!"

"..."

The American stock market is relatively free.

There are various forms of transactions.

There are leveraged derivatives contracts with time value such as options to operate stock transactions.

And the option method is the favorite of most retail investors.

Because this thing is the same as buying a lottery ticket. For example, if you firmly believe that the stock will rise in the future, you can buy an option contract that is as high as possible;

Generally speaking, it is a kind of hyper-leveraged behavior. If you buy an astronomical call contract with a few dollars, you may reap hundreds of times if you are right. If you are wrong even a little bit, the contract value will return to zero. Gone.

It is really equivalent to spending two yuan to buy a lottery ticket, and you may win 5 yuan, or you may win 5 million, and the most is nothing.

and……

Almost all of the WSB forums gather such retail investors. Because they believe in YOLO, almost all of them play stud.

Companies like Microsoft and Intel are doing well, so of course they are bullish.

And now there are short institutions that are bearish, which is likely to lead to the annihilation of everyone.

So now people are panicking.

After holding the keys just right, I posted a post: "Is it possible that the decline will not happen?"

"Pray that capital will let retail investors go? It's better to pray to God."

"..."

Such remarks are obviously not what the restless retail investors want.

But the keynote speech is a guide.

Soon someone put forward the idea of ​​Baotuan, and then it developed into:

"Yes, we ordinary people unite to avenge Wall Street!"

"We're going to make these capital institutions pay!"

"They are the ones who bring suffering to countless families,

He himself was not punished in any way! It's not fair! "

"We will teach them a lesson ourselves!"

"..."

Seeing this, Shi Jian went offline contentedly.

…………

After dinner, the study on the first floor.

Fang Nian, Lu Weiyu, Guan Qiuhe, and Liu Xi each sat on one side and started preparing for the opening of the U.S. stock market in the evening.

Not a while later, Liu Xi suddenly asked weakly: "Fang, Mr. Fang, can I ask a question."

There is a serious look in the eyes, which is a very rare direct look compared to Liu Xi.

Never dodge.

Fang Nian nodded lightly: "Well, tell me."

Hearing this, Liu Xi didn't pause, and asked directly: "Did you never want foreign technology giants to suddenly let go of the threshold for cooperation?"

"For example, IA is willing to cooperate with Nuwa Lab to develop a graphics card driver for DeskOS;

For another example, ASML has opened up the sale of 45nm or even 28nm lithography machines to China on a large scale;

as well as……"

"Microsoft further liberalized piracy control, even lowered the price, and joined forces with Intel to launch a killer combination that is more cost-effective in the market?"

After finishing these words almost in one breath, Liu Xi made a final addition after a short pause: "It's just my guess."

After listening to Liu Xi, Lu Weiyu and Guan Qiuhe looked at each other.

Then he turned his head to look at Liu Xi, and finally his gaze fell on Fang Nian.

Although they often have the final say, they basically work according to Fang Nian's strategic arrangements.

Both of them attached great importance to this question suddenly raised by Liu Xi.

Facing the eyes of the three, Fang Nian nodded happily: "That's right."

"That's why I often need some US media under our control to deliberately release some public opinion."

"The foundation of the frontier is very shallow. As far as the current situation is concerned, on the one hand, the overall domestic environment is not very friendly, and some ordinary people value the frontier too much, which is okay;

However, the vast majority of groups advocated by public knowledge and other groups are not optimistic about the cutting-edge suicide research and development behavior, and even slander it;

What's more serious is that many of them are leading domestic technology companies;

In addition, for a long time, the view that it is better to buy than to make is very mainstream in China..."

"So, I very much don't want foreign technology giants to suddenly open up and cooperate with China in a limited and controllable way. These open cooperations include but are not limited to those mentioned by Liu Xi."

Speaking of this, Fang Nian paused for a while, and said calmly: "Actually, I even hope that America can change its boss."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, the three of them fell into silence.

After a while, Lu Weiyu was amazed: "As expected of the God of Wealth."

"As expected of the God of Wealth!" Guan Qiuhe added.

Liu Xi lowered her head again.

Seeing this, Fang Nian said relaxedly: "Now that we're talking about this, you should take the time to think about what to do, and...

If it is really impossible to form a form of confrontation as desired, how should we better deal with more difficult situations. "

"Also, Frontier needs more domestic partners. I think BYD is good."

Guan Qiuhe frowned: "You want to build a car?"

"No, no, cooperation, cooperation in the electronic field, you can check it out." Fang Nian shook his index finger.

"..."

At the end, the three of them nodded lightly and didn't speak any more.

think about each other...

In fact, from a certain point of view, Tang Te's handling of affairs is more inclined to businessmen, and he will operate more for some visible benefits.

Through various means of pressure, some domestic industries are determined to strive for self-sufficiency in disguise.

But this is the typical behavior pattern of most businessmen.

Including this is also the root cause of the view that "making is worse than buying" has become mainstream.

Strictly speaking, this view as a whole cannot be considered wrong.

After all, not every company has the courage and capital to play Frontier.

The primary purpose of a business company is to survive.

Since there is a ready-made solution, of course, it is necessary to buy this solution first and make money before thinking about the future.

How to put it, many companies may start their businesses with the intention of earning money first, and then investing money in research and development to form a strong competitiveness.

But it turns out...

This money is too easy to earn, too fragrant.

research and development?

R&D shit.

Wouldn't it be nice to sit in a pile of bills and count them?

Of course, the leaders of the motherland are very far-sighted, and the system construction is also very leading. In addition to general commercial companies, there are state-owned holding companies.

They... can realize the Chinese dream 'regardless of the consequences'.

Unfortunately, this 'reckless support' is not endless support after all.

so……

The top leaders, such as Miao Wei, Ping Xiao, etc., actually see very clearly that the success of the frontier is not due to having enough excellent engineers, nor is it rich.

It's You Fangnian, the soul who will devote most of his energy to basic science.

This is what Miao Weihui took the initiative to say, telling Fang Nian not to have sectarianism, and to treat the two new academicians who joined Bai Ze equally.

Because Miao knew clearly for their leaders that the Chinese never had less brains than others.

What others can research, the Chinese can do too.

The reason why I have been stuck for so many years is the internal chain reaction caused by external factors:

For example, Western European and American countries have adopted similar multilateral export control systems such as the Wassenaar Agreement to ensure that China's technological level is relatively backward;

Ensure that industries such as semiconductors are at least two generations behind the world's top level;

Do our best to maintain China's technology dependence on foreign countries.

Before the emergence of the frontier, through years of mature technology output, laissez-faire piracy, low-cost entry into the market to cultivate user habits, and college services to fundamentally change the education model of related industries, etc., it has formed——

Desktop computers, lithography machines, automobiles, high-end medical equipment, computer numerical control machine tools, mid-to-high-end sensors, computer and smartphone operating systems, computer processors, high-performance processors, mobile phone SoCs, industrial and EDA software...

And so on, the industry has a market share of nearly 100%.

In addition, once domestic companies try to occupy a place in this kind of low-end market that focuses on basic technology, foreign companies will immediately release higher-end products.

These are the domestic status quo that caused Fang Qianshi to catch his eyes.

Almost all the companies that have grown up later no longer touch the field of basic technology, but directly focus on the field of applied technology. When they have money, they stare at people's food baskets.

More sharply, Juchang was never blocked because of the Kirin chip, but the 5G standard.

The processing core unit of the Kirin chip is implemented based on the ARM instruction set system, and even the microarchitecture is ARM-

Of course, Apple is also based on the arm instruction set, but Apple has gone out of its own way of micro-architecture, so that arm can follow this micro-architecture model in turn.

Secondly, other core units of the Kirin chip, such as graphics processing units, etc., are also arm solutions.

But there is an excellent part in it: the baseband...

In short, in other words, in the field of smartphones, the country has worked hard for ten years, but it has also failed to establish its own application ecology, but an application ecology established on oid.

On the contrary, in the computer field, Loongson has climbed and rolled for many years, and finally sorted out a loongarch instruction set system that has not been made public.

These "masterpieces" of Mr. Tangte eventually brought some domestic industries to an ideal state of development and strived to be self-sufficient.

It is also the place where Fang Nian 'likes' Mr. Tangte...

Fang Nian, who has experienced this, of course dislikes the current boss of the United States, and hopes that Mr. Donte can make more and more inflammatory remarks.

Can more to incite some kind of confrontation.

because……

No matter what the frontier is, it is impossible to conquer the world.

What Fang Nian wants to see more is that the entire system is forced by external pressure to work hard and abandon all illusions.

This is also the most satisfying point in Pingxiao and their opponent's statement.

…………

Time flies, and it's past nine o'clock in the evening.

US stocks are about to open.

At this time, short-sellers, retail investors, melon eaters, onlookers, Wall Street elites, protagonists Microsoft and Intel, etc. were in place.

certainly……

The American media who like to join in the fun is indispensable.

After all, without this thing, public opinion cannot be raised.

Companies such as Microsoft and Intel have held impromptu press conferences.

Microsoft directly expressed its disdain.

"nuwa? It's just a small trick of a small company?"

"If it weren't for media reports, I would never have heard of it."

"Short agency? Nothing more than a bunch of clowns."

"..."

This little matter, of course, is not to the point of asking Bill to come forward, just Microsoft's public relations manager.

The deliberate instigation of the reporters did not cause any disturbances.

Instead, he was stunned by a sentence: "All friends who bought Microsoft stocks, don't care about some intentional remarks. Without Microsoft's Windows, more than 90% of personal computers in the world will be paralyzed!"

"..."

Watching this interview, Fang Nian had a smile on his face.

This is the result he wanted.

Yes, that's it, dismissive.

Guan Qiuhe couldn't help complaining: "Microsoft is too good at talking, haven't you heard of Frontier? Can you try WP without the patent authorized by Frontier?"

"..."

Fang Nian smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Fang Nian read Intel's official statement again.

Equally dismissive.

"There are so many CPU manufacturers in the world, but this baize is just pretending to be a big deal, and it's not worth mentioning. X86 is the mainstream."

"..."

Intel expressed an important point here.

"It's just a bearish report. Are the funds in the market taking any real action? No!"

"..."

Fang Nian was more satisfied.

What we want is this kind of confrontational attitude, and don't always open up and cooperate.

A giant needs to have a giant face, so he has to be strong!

Then, Fang Nian saw on WSB and other forums that retail investors began to relax.

Then the U.S. stock market opened.

Then, Microsoft and Intel rose 1-2% at the opening.

You must know that the daily rise and fall of these two companies are basically below 1%...
