The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 252 Economic Crisis and Unmanned Vending Vehicles
The morning sun rose from the east, dispelling all the haze, and the sky in the mountain city was exceptionally clear early in the morning.

Hu Lai slowly walked out of the lithography machine factory in Fenghuang Industrial Park, along with Chen Hai and Director Zhang.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the lithography machine factory, Chen Hai stopped.

"Mr. Hu, now the matter of the lithography machine has basically come to an end, and all the matters of our meeting and negotiation are over. After taking these things from you today, I will also prepare to leave the mountain city."

Chen Hai clapped the brown folder in his hand, which contained a few "Daxiao 005D" chips and some supplementary materials for the lithography machine that he had just taken away from the lithography machine factory area.

Today is July 7th, and half a month has passed since the official announcement of the Phoenix 10nm lithography machine. Everything here is on the right track, and his work in Shancheng City is all over.

Hu Lai felt a little emotional.

"Chen Bureau, are you leaving so soon?"

"Thanks to you this time, not only the matter of being removed from the 'ST list', but also the matter of our auto CEO Zhang Feiyang. Without your mediation, it would not have been resolved so easily."

Hearing Hu Lai's words, Chen Hai waved his hands.

"This matter has little to do with us. Strictly speaking, it is your own strong scientific research strength that forced M to make changes."

"If you want to help, it's your 5nm lithography machine that turned out to help us a lot."

Having said that, Chen Hai patted Hu Lai on the shoulder, looked at the straight park road in front of him, and suddenly said with a smile:

"Although I have been to the industrial park several times in the past month or so, I haven't visited it properly. Let's talk while walking, let me take a tour by the way."

"Hahaha, no problem."

The two walked side by side in the huge Phoenix Park. After walking a few steps, Hu Lai continued to ask:
"Chen Bureau, when are you going to leave?"

"The plane back to the capital this afternoon."

"This afternoon? In such a hurry?"

Hu Lai was a little surprised, he thought Chen Hai would leave at least tomorrow.

Chen Hai explained with a smile:
"I originally booked an air ticket for the day after tomorrow, but we have achieved amazing results in this negotiation, and the higher-ups are very happy to urge me to go back and make a comprehensive report."

"and……"

"According to our latest monitoring situation, the international response to our development of a new EUV lithography machine is great. The impact of this matter is fermented faster than we imagined, and the scope is wider. Many of our strategies need to be arranged in advance. .”

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment. In just half a month, Phoenix Semiconductor did receive orders for 15 domestic EUV lithography machines.

According to Chen Hai, it means that foreign companies should also be interested in Phoenix EUV lithography machines?

"Chen Bureau, what do you say about this?"

Chen Hai glanced at Factory Manager Zhang behind him. Just as Factory Manager Zhang was about to step back tactfully, Chen Hai waved his hand.

"Director Zhang, you happen to be in charge of the semiconductor business of the Phoenix Group, so come and listen."

Seeing Director Zhang coming up, Chen Hai nodded.

"According to the latest news, ASML's lithography machines from 5nm to 56nm, whether it is DUV or EUV light source, have begun to reduce prices."

"Although the first wave of price cuts is only 20%, in other words, ASLM has lost 20% of its profits because of the appearance of our Phoenix lithography machine, and I believe that the price cuts will continue to increase."

"In addition to the price of the lithography machine itself, Qualcomm's chips have also begun to cut prices. In addition to Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8gen1, their popular Snapdragon 888 and 870 chips have begun to reduce some prices."

Hu Lai was quite surprised. He knew that the price of ASML's lithography machines had dropped, but he really didn't notice that even Qualcomm chips had started to drop in price.

Seeing that Hu Lai was slightly dazed, Chen Hai continued:
"What we have monitored is not only the price drop of lithography machines and mobile phone chips, but even the price of mobile phones and computers will decrease in the future because of the reduction in chip prices."

"You should also know that a few days ago, SMIC took the initiative to reduce the foundry price of chips above 5nm, and several domestic semiconductor foundry companies have followed suit. Do you know what this means?"

Hu Lai was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, Director Zhang, who has been in charge of the semiconductor department, said tentatively after thinking for a while:

"If the foundry price is lowered, will the chip price be lowered?"

Chen Hai nodded:
"Not only is the price of the chip lowered, but the cost of testing the chip and tape-out will also be reduced. This is the most important thing. This is almost related to the entire chip design industry!"

"Large design companies may not care about the cost of several million tape-outs, but small design companies care about the cost of tape-out testing very much. Now we reduce the cost of the lowest manufacturing link in the chip industry and provide all small and medium-sized enterprises with generous There is room for development, and the future can be imagined!"

"In the future, countless small companies will benefit from it and become large companies. This is the best medicine for the real development of the domestic chip industry!"

"So, the emergence of Phoenix lithography machines has really driven the development of the entire domestic chip industry from upstream to downstream."

Hu Lai nodded frequently.

"I have thought before that our 5nm EUV lithography machine will completely break the foreign blockade, which will have a huge impact on ASML lithography machines. I also thought that we will completely break the monopoly of international high-end chips and promote domestic semiconductor and downstream industries. Industrial Development."

"Not only the chip industry, but even all industries related to electronic products, we can foresee great development."

Hearing Hu Lai's affirmative words, Chen Hai smiled slightly.

"Actually, these are not the most important things. These are just technical or economic influences. The foreign influences I mentioned just now are deeper influences."

"Simply put, use your familiar old rival Qualcomm."

"They sold 2021 million chips in 1.3, 70% of which were purchased by our domestic market. Last year, our domestic turnover was 235 billion US dollars, more than 1500 billion soft sister coins, and the profit was as high as 420 billion."

"You said, once our domestic high-end mobile phone chips appear, do you know what it means for Qualcomm?"

After a moment of silence, Hu Lai replied:

"Qualcomm's revenue and profit will definitely drop significantly."

"In addition to the decline in revenue, they will completely lose the high profits brought by monopoly and instead face great commercial competition. Not only technical competition but also price competition, and this competition will only increase over time. powerful."

"Even in the end, it is very possible to completely withdraw from the Yanguo market."

"Not just Qualcomm, but all the suppliers in their supply chain."

Director Zhang on the side added.

"For example, our electric scooters, our scooters' revenue is only a fraction of Qualcomm's, but there are more than 100 suppliers in the supply chain. Once our sales drop and orders are cut, it will be huge for these suppliers. impact."

"The most direct impact on suppliers is that the factory loses money and cannot pay wages, and even some people are laid off."

"We are still like this, let alone increase the revenue scale of more than 1000 billion yuan, once it collapses, it is unimaginable."

Chen Hai glanced at Director Zhang approvingly, and then continued:

"The entire global chip industry has a value of 6 trillion US dollars, while our domestic market has a full 3.5 trillion US dollars."

"Once we achieve domestic substitution, we will soon defeat the Western chip industry that has been operating for decades. At that time, a large number of chip companies will close down, and a large number of industrial workers in the supply chain will lose their jobs, and then..."

"The impact of this kind of unemployment will radiate to other electronics industries like a domino effect. If it is not dealt with properly, it will cause more unemployment, reduce consumption capacity, and finally cause a large chain reaction..."

Hu Lai's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly:
"And finally there's the economic crisis."

Chen Hai hummed, and looked at Hu Lai with a solemn expression.

"So, do you understand why I said that many strategies need to be arranged in advance?"

"I understand."

"Once they have internal problems, we will face much less pressure, and we can really gain the initiative, and have more strategic space to do what we want to do."

Chen Hai nodded, and his tone softened.

"Of course, the old capitalist countries are not as fragile as imagined, but fortunately our 'weapons' this time are also very sharp!"

"I still have to thank you!"

Hu Lai said a few polite words, just as the three of them walked to the middle of an intersection in the industrial park, a small vehicle with a strange shape slowly drove up on the spacious road.

The sleek and cute shape combined with the red paint immediately caught Chen Hai's attention and interrupted the topic just now.

He turned around and asked:
"What, what is this small car?"

"It's our unmanned vending vehicle, which automatically sells some snacks, drinks and ice cream in our industrial park on weekdays."

Hu Lai replied with a smile. At this time, Director Zhang had already walked to the side of the road. Seeing the red unmanned vending truck approaching, he waved quickly.

really.

Chen Hai was greatly surprised when the red unmanned vending vehicle stopped right in front of Director Zhang.

"Stop waving?"

"Well, not only waving, its name is Xiaohong, and calling her name loudly can also make her stop."

While Hu Lai was introducing, the two walked towards the direction of the unmanned vending car.

At this time, the door of the red unmanned vending car has been opened, and there are all kinds of snacks and soft drinks in front of us.

Chen Hai secretly praised himself. The whole body design is very ingenious. The doors open from the middle to both sides, maximizing the use of the three-meter-long body space. The entire layout is just like the small canteens you see on weekdays. It is very convenient to choose goods .

At the prompt of Factory Manager Zhang, Chen Hai took three bottles of mineral water, and then Factory Manager Zhang skillfully scanned the QR code to pay.

Seeing this, Chen Hai felt quite novel, and asked:

"This is an open purchase, what if you don't pay for it?"

Before Hu Lai could speak, Director Zhang introduced:
"Chen Bureau, don't look at our unmanned vending car, which looks small, but there are ultra-clear cameras inside and outside."

"We have been able to use algorithms to capture with 99% accuracy what goods everyone bought and how much the goods are worth. If there is someone who takes the goods and does not pay, we can find out who this person is through the camera."

"However, now that everyone's quality has improved, no one will deliberately skip orders for a few yuan."

Factory Manager Zhang smiled lightly, and lightly pressed the "Purchase Complete" button next to the door of "Xiaohong".

Watching Xiao Hong go away, he continued:

"This unmanned vending vehicle is our inspiration from the unmanned bus. We are going to apply it in large industrial parks, campuses and large scenic spots, and are now testing it in our industrial park."

Chen Hai clapped his hands appreciatively.

"You are really applying unmanned autonomous driving to real life."

"In industrial parks and university campuses, it is indeed very applicable, and technology can be regarded as changing life. However, did 'Xiaohong' just pass by here by chance or..."

"It came here by sensing our location through the heat map."

"Heat map?!"

Director Zhang nodded heavily.

"Our entire industrial park has been covered by 5G network. There are high-definition cameras every few tens of meters on each road, and all the conditions of our entire park will be presented on our cloud network."

"Our unmanned vending vehicles will automatically drive to places with more people based on the feedback from the server data, so the business will definitely be better."

"Of course, in addition to using high-definition cameras to form heat maps through algorithms, you can also use the method of 'mobile phone network signal density' to form heat maps."

"To put it simply, places with higher mobile phone signal frequencies have more people, and fewer people have lower mobile phone signal frequencies. This can also be used to form a heat map."

After listening to the introduction, Chen Hai couldn't help but raise his fingers.

Before he could speak, Director Zhang went on to say:

"In addition to unmanned vending vehicles, we also have unmanned shuttle vehicles in our factory area."

As he said that, another red and white small car with a completely different livery from Xiaohong actually appeared in his sight.

but.

This car looks much more normal than "Little Red". It looks like a small car except for the lack of a steering wheel.

"This is our 'unmanned ferry', which can seat up to 4 people. Now we have no plans to market it. It is currently used within our industrial park. You don't need to pay for this car, but it can only be used in the park. driving."

"It's basically the same as Xiaohong just now. It also judges where there are many people in the industrial park through the heat map, but he can call through our employee software to take a taxi in the park!"

It has to be said that Phoenix's "unmanned vending vehicle" and "unmanned shuttle bus" shocked Chen Hai a lot.

He couldn't help thinking about the various technologies of the Phoenix Group in his mind. From the beginning of unmanned autonomous driving technology, to the NB-Y chip architecture design of the Huyue 140 chip, to the current 5nm EUV lithography machine, this step by step. The powerful scientific and technological research and development capabilities produced are simply incredible and omnipotent.

Suddenly, he remembered the incident that caused the entire aerospace industry and even senior leaders to hold a special meeting to discuss it not long ago.

However, no domestic company can do this. Strictly speaking, it is the commercial soil suitable for this project in China.

Can the Phoenix Group do it?
He looked at Hu Lai, and suddenly said without thinking:
"Mr. Hu, have you read the news some time ago, did you know about our space station's emergency avoidance of commercial satellites?"

Hu Lai was taken aback, and almost blurted out.

"Starlink?"
