Chapter 99 Not Just To Be The Best "Prayer Monthly Pass" In China
mid nineties. It's a very special time.
On the one hand, it is due to the deepening of reform and opening up. Thoughts and technologies at home and abroad began to collide more deeply. Chinese people have mixed feelings about the coming new millennium. It made the hearts of the people in this period seem extraordinarily confused. This can be seen from the performance in the pop music world.
On the other hand, it is the change of the business operation model. Many foreign large enterprises and commercial organizations have entered the Mainland. Slowly changing the Chinese way of life. This can also be seen as a form of peaceful evolution.
Fan Wubing thought. No matter what method is used to evolve the Chinese. None of these things are more accessible through everyday life.
for example. For example, some daily necessities under the banner of foreign famous brands. Or those household appliances that began to enter China on a large scale. The proliferation of these things. Not only has it changed the way of life of the Chinese people. It also changed some of their inherent concepts. That is, foreigners are people too. Since foreigners can live such a nourishing life. So do we have room for improvement? What needs to be improved? How to improve? Can the expected goal be achieved after improvement?
These problems add up in bits and pieces. It is destined to have a rapid explosion process. Therefore, China's economy will be within three to five years. There is a retaliatory fast rising period.
And for the chip manufacturing industry. This period is the period that everyone is most likely to talk about. The vast growth rate is almost unlimited large market. For any company in the industry. All are irresistible temptations.
The chip industry is a highly developed industry in the world. It is called a modern money printing machine by foreign economists. China was also planning to build its own chip industry in the early 1990s. And has started some national projects. But due to limited national strength. Enterprise strength is not enough. Therefore, the domestic chip industry has been progressing slowly.
Almost all existing domestic chip manufacturers are foundries. The level of technology is low. The ability of independent innovation is weak. Lack of independent products and independent brands.
Due to export restrictions in western countries. The situation that our country is controlled by others in chip technology is very serious. Almost all core processing chips used in domestic digital devices are imported. Like the three core chips commonly used in digital TV. Receiving and demodulating chips, decoding chips and digital video processing chips. All rely on imports.
The chip industry includes the early design of chips, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing. And according to general rules. If the chip itself has a production value of one yuan. It can drive the growth of the relevant electronic information industry by ten yuan.
Such a big market. The domestic government is not invisible. It is due to various long-standing disadvantages. It is no longer able to compete with international chip manufacturers.
Even with the power of the whole country. It may not be able to break through the results of decades of research accumulated by developed countries.
And it is even more worrying. Foreigners never sell popular things to Chinese. Unless it's a finished product.
Want to develop chip manufacturing technology. The only ones you can rely on are yourself.
What Fan Wubing thought of was. Taiwan's chip manufacturing industry is also very developed. For example, TSMC, the leader of the chip manufacturing industry on the island. In the late nineties. The industrial scale has surpassed international giants such as InTeL. The strength is quite strong. So he thought. Even if it is not able to catch up from the entire industry. But grab one or two of them and work hard. There is still a lot to do. Especially in the core chip manufacturing industry of mobile phones. And peripheral chip manufacturing such as computer memory or graphics cards. I am fully capable of making some achievements.
In this case. At least the domestic chip manufacturing industry will not be blank. Not even when mentioning this industry. What can be obtained is only the introduction of a certain production line from abroad. You need to know the production lines that were later introduced at a cost of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. It is just a technology that companies such as InTeL have eliminated. There is really nothing to praise.
Fan Wubing knew. If you don't grasp the core technology. Always have to follow behind others.
The threshold for chip manufacturing is relatively high. Even in 1993 now. The cost of building a factory is also more than 300 million US dollars. Not to mention the uncertain market outlook. How many people dare to throw a lot of money in?
The biggest issue affecting chip manufacturing. Not a technology update. It is about grasping the direction of the market. After all, the vast majority of people. It is impossible to be like Fan Wubing. Clearly know the detailed economic trend in the next two decades. And the development trend of the chip manufacturing industry.
in an uncertain market direction. Everyone dare not invest all their funds in one research direction. In this case. Once the judgment is wrong. It will lead to irreversible results. So even the industry leader InTeL company. It is also often troubled by it.
Because you never know what will be popular the next moment?
For example, the business model of InTeL, which dominates the chip industry, is to produce more powerful and complex chips. Invest heavily in research. Leave your competitors far behind. This is their usual practice. But in the mid-nineties. This model has been challenged. The function is very powerful. Many users can only use a fraction of the power of high-end Pentium processors. Companies like amd take advantage of this situation. Produce low-end and low-price chips to seize the market with InTeL. Makes the situation of InTeL company very bad.
If Intel doesn't change. It would be another fallen giant. Lost customers by creating beautiful technology that most people don't need. Finally had to declare bankruptcy.
But InTeL's Grove decided to take an unexpected approach. The company will not only continue to develop more powerful and faster chips. And also produce its own low-margin cheap chips. The strategy turned out to be a success. Intel's Celeron processor became one of the most successful microprocessors in history.
For InTeL. Survival is the result of self-destructive innovation. But many other companies may not be willing to accept the pain. So they all fell one by one in the end.
After Fan Wubing and the other three confirmed most of the matters concerning the establishment of the new factory. Ready to start site selection.
selected address. Naturally, places with beautiful environments like Suzhou and Hangzhou. After all, the chip industry should be regarded as a representative of the high-tech industry. It is also an environmentally friendly industry. Need a beautiful environment. It will not cause serious damage to the environment. Great for occupying these places.
another one. That's what Fan Wubing thinks. If factories are built in Suzhou and Hangzhou. future land price rises. It will also bring you a considerable income. The appreciation of land far exceeds the current investment. Although I don't know how to engage in real estate. It's this kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone. But it cannot be easily let go.
After the memory of the three people stopped. Fan Wubing directly informed Boss Zhu of their plan to build the largest chip manufacturing base in China.
Boss Zhu was very excited after hearing this. What is the situation of the domestic chip manufacturing industry? He is very understanding. He also knows very well how much real money the international chip giants take away from China every year. Therefore, he was able to raise huge sums of money for Fan Wubing to invest in this high-tech industry. very happy.
"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money?" Boss Zhu asked with concern.
"This industry. No matter how much it costs. I want to do it!" Fan Wubing said righteously. "We can't be stuck by foreigners forever. Especially in this high-tech industry. Being stuck by someone for one day is equivalent to being controlled by others for a lifetime! I will work hard to break this international monopoly. Give China People bring useful products at reasonable prices! Not the third-rate garbage that is forced to pay high prices now!"
"Where are you going to build the factory?" Boss Zhu asked.
Although Fan Wubing spoke impassionedly. But Boss Zhu is not someone who is easily influenced. After listening to him being blank for a while. Boss Zhu began to ask him some specific details. For example, the amount of funds invested and the location and so on. It even includes the question of how many employment opportunities can be provided.
"The initial investment will be about 300 million US dollars. About 66 will continue to invest a lot. It is estimated that it will increase to more than one billion US dollars within five years. After all, this industry is very expensive." disease has not been studied in detail. All in all he is very clear. That is, as long as he can accomplish this in China. So it doesn't matter how much you invest. The huge domestic market can provide a lot of business opportunities.
As for the location issue. He said a little hesitantly. "We want to build the factory in Suzhou or Hangzhou. But we haven't made specific contact yet. I don't know if the local government will welcome us? But after the first phase of the factory is completed, it will probably provide job opportunities for 4,000 to 5,000 people. .Wait until three years later. It is estimated that 20,000 people are too few!"
"You bastard. You're just a little cunning!" Boss Zhu heard what Fan Wubing said. How could he not know the reason why he came to him. So he said with a wry smile. "Okay. Your project. It is also a big project of trilateral cooperation between China, the United States and Taiwan. The central government has to express its support. The work of the local government. You can talk about it first. We will also impose on them when the time is right. Some influence. So that this work that benefits the country and the people can be carried out. What do you think?"
"Of course that would be the best!" Fan Wubing grinned happily to his cheeks. He quickly expressed his ambition. "Our goal. Not just to be the best in the country!"
"Okay. Three years later. At least 20,000 job opportunities. I'll write them down in my notebook first. Then we'll see how you implement them?" Boss Zhu smiled slightly.
