Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 222 Mr. Yu defected to the enemy?

Gu Qing has a long-standing understanding of taxation and financial issues.

Enterprises generally have to pay five types of taxes, value-added tax, corporate income tax, personal income tax, stamp duty, and urban construction tax.

Most people only know about corporate income tax because it is relatively transparent and easy to calculate.

Income tax payable by the enterprise = current taxable income * applicable tax rate.

Usually, the tax rate for general enterprises is 25%. However, Kyushu Science and Technology Company is a high-tech enterprise with confidential qualifications. According to the corresponding preferential policies, the tax rate will be around [-]%.

For the taxes that should be paid, Kyushu Technology Company will naturally pay them on time and in full after the tax holiday.

However, after learning more about the discounts and support provided by the Great Xia Kingdom to innovative technology companies, Boss Gu was deeply moved.

Tax exemptions, tax reductions, subsidies, and relevant departments are even obliged to coordinate human resources to help enterprises, which is more generous than ordinary enterprises such as real estate.

As long as there is a company that can make achievements in the high-tech field, then this company basically does not have to worry about any adverse domestic influence on it.

For example, the relatively large private enterprise media in China now will not report negative news about Kyushu Technology from time to time, and they dare not report because they are paid a lot of money behind it.

Even if there are a lot of news materials, you have to check with people from relevant departments before you dare to report.

This is why this year's black Kyushu technology is basically from the media and some less popular newspaper media.

The big ones do not lack this traffic, and the second and third streamers dare not eat this traffic for the sake of their lives.

Boss Gu felt comfortable, but some bosses felt uncomfortable.

[Boundary Monument] took Kyushu Technology to take off, and also helped some manufacturers' business to a higher level.

With more and more products of Kyushu Technology, the interest-related enterprises pay more and more attention to Kyushu Technology.

Among them, Dami Group, which is "motivated but its own system is very hip, but has been listed", is one of the best.

Lei Jun is a person with pursuit and a technical background, but he is a little puzzled.

As an industry insider, he clearly understands that chips are a cyclical high-precision industry, but the products of Kyushu Technology do not seem to apply the principle of cyclicality.

For example, the chips needed for smart home robots and bionic mechanical prosthetics, the production of chips also takes a long period from design to tape-out.

Since it was listed on the list last year, the whole world has actually started to enter a wave of core shortages. After all, Bloc is already an indispensable part of the world economy and semiconductor manufacturing.

And where did Kyushu Technology's chips come from?

With the explosive start of today's products, sales restrictions are already a certainty, and the control chip of the 8K display screen, the AI ​​chip of the smart housekeeper, where can Kyushu Technology find the chip supply?

As for the press conference, Lei Jun believed that Gu Qing said that Xiaxin Technology was a supplier.

But Xiaxin Technology is just a chip foundry manufacturer.

Where are the display panels and raw materials?Where is the chip architecture design?

Xiaxin Technology has only replaced some domestic lithography machines. It stands to reason that it will take about a year to mass-produce chips.

This really puzzled him.

While he was thinking about this matter, Gu Qing was also "teaching lessons" to the executives.

The division of labor among corporate executives is different, and some very funny things often happen.

For example, executives engaged in technology say that this thing is impossible, but the administrative management who is born in administration and only understands the industry through data will say: "There is nothing impossible, only you don't pay attention."

In the view of some administrators, as long as the investment is sufficient, there should be considerable or guaranteed output.

Kyushu Technology Company now has tens of thousands of employees, but not many executives, so it is relatively simple to call everyone for a "class" meeting.

"Today's hot new products were sold out in seconds, and this achievement is due to the credit of all departments.

Everyone knows that according to our company's rules, if everything goes well, this year's year-end bonus will be even richer.

Although traditionally the big day should not throw cold water, I want to stress a few things.

Enterprises cannot be without a sense of crisis.

While pointing a gun at the enemy, you must also point a gun at yourself.

We are very happy with the hot sale of the product.

But we need to see the supply chain of the product and the situation of its related industries.

The upsurge of domestic substitution and self-sufficiency is sweeping the entire Daxia semiconductor industry. Among the many semiconductor players in the world, from TSMC, Hanxing, and Intel with advanced process capabilities, to GF, UMC, and SMIC with mature processes, they are all expanding. production capacity.

But they all need a long time to see the results.

Without our technical support, it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project for foreign manufacturers to build a new fab. It is already considered a miracle to complete the construction of a mature process plant, the commissioning of the production line, and the deployment of professionals within two years. Advanced processes will take longer.

Therefore, the transoceanic exports of our domestic wafer manufacturing companies will definitely take off in the past two years.

And chip foundry companies such as Xiaxin Technology are bound to adopt a greater profit harvesting method because of this unbalanced supply and demand market-the overall price increase of foundry chip manufacturing costs.

Although we are an important supplier of components such as light source equipment for domestic lithography machines, and although our relationship with Xiaxin Technology is very good, our demand for chips cannot be changed.

In addition, the upgrade and expansion of servers on the Nine Dragons side of the cloud also requires a large number of high-end chips.

Chip supply and demand imbalance, what should we do?
This problem is the homework of this meeting. Whether it is administrative management or technical management, the solution should be written out before the last day of the month and sent to the president's office.

It is still the old rule, you can find the information and solve it by yourself, or you can discuss it in a group, but you are not allowed to find someone to write it for you. "

Boss Gu didn't say what happened to the violators, but everyone in the meeting room knew it well.

The big boss has always been a "small belly" person. The last manager who dealt with it casually was fired the next day.

……

I don't know if it has awakened some strange attributes.

Gu Qing looked at these young and middle-aged managers, coming happily, his brows were furrowed and parted, and he still felt a little "rejoiced".

The instigator actively cools down, but others cannot.

There are no eternal friends in business battles, only eternal interests.

Lei Jun of Dami is thinking, but Xia Wei's senior officials have already started a remote meeting.

Due to the company's confidence in communication technology and the fact that many executives work in various departments, Xia Wei's many high-level meetings are remote meetings.

Lei Jun was sitting in the small conference room of Xia Wei's Rongcheng branch.

The lights are bright here, and all the small executives and people in charge of the branch are sitting on the side with solemn faces.

The same is true for the executives of overseas divisions and other domestic divisions on the conference room screen.

The most conspicuous among them is naturally Mr. Ren.

His expression at the moment is dignified.

"Vice President Yu participated in the new product launch conference of Kyushu Technology this time, please tell me first."

The boss called the roll, and the others naturally felt a little relieved.

Hearing this, Yu Chengdong didn't smile wryly, nor did he have the pride of the past. He nodded with his brows tightly furrowed, and then said: "I was invited to participate in their new product launch conference this time. Personal perspectives and feelings from your own professional perspective.

These new products are all great, or amazing, and it is almost impossible for a young company that has been established for several years to produce results.

If they can maintain this kind of research and development efficiency and ensure that the supply chain has sufficient supplies, our Xia Wei's biggest enemy in the future may be Kyushu Technology Company. "

Boss Gu, who had just entered the dream, suddenly sneezed.

When Mr. Ren heard Yu Chengdong's words, he nodded slightly, and then asked, "Why did you come to this conclusion?"

Yu Chengdong was straightforward.

"Technological innovation is the lifeblood of all enterprises.

In 18, our company invested more than 900 billion yuan in research and development, and the number of personnel engaged in research and development in the enterprise has reached 45% of the total staff.

And other friends, such as Rice, invested only 59 billion yuan in research and development.

The continuous high investment in research and development funds has enabled our company to continuously make breakthroughs in technology. 5G has become an adopted sheep. So far, 40 5G commercial contracts have been signed and 7 5G base stations have been sold. In 5, the number of [-]G base stations will double.

In the field of mobile phones, we have mastered 3D structured light, wireless charging reverse wireless charging, and Kirin 980, one of the most powerful processors in Android.The Kirin 985 will also be mass-produced in the third quarter of this year, which is great.

But these are the technologies that we have invested heavily for ten years, but how long did it take Kyushu Technology Company?
With all due respect, the 8K display screen I experienced at their press conference site, we at Xiawei simply cannot entrust other companies to supply and produce it in batches.

There is also a smart housekeeper, its internal AI chip and smart program are definitely ahead of us, especially when I experience it personally, the feedback I get is even more shocking.

The sensor collects complex data, and the AI ​​chip inside the smart housekeeper and the operation logic of the smart program give a solution almost instantly without delay, and then the corresponding motor responds.

I can draw a conclusion that Kyushu Technology's AI chip, intelligent program architecture, and operational logic are at least one big step ahead of us.

And if they continue to develop at this speed, Jiuzhou Technology Company will sooner or later become our company's strong enemy. "

As soon as Yu Chengdong said this, every window of the teleconference became tense.

If this is a real executive meeting, there will be an uproar.

Xiawei's self-developed chips are made by HiSilicon Semiconductor, and the most famous one is the HiSilicon Kirin series.

The Kirin chip is also where Xia Wei dares to compete with Han Xing and Pingguo for the global market.

The current Kirin 980 processor is the world's first 7nm processor.The highest main frequency is 2.6Ghz, fully upgraded CPU, GPU, new dual-core NPU, and GPU Turbo blessing, which can be said to make Xiawei's Mate 20 shine in the world.

Along the way, HiSilicon semiconductor chips have been criticized and now rank among the forefront of the industry, and they are like legends within Xiawei.

But today, it was said that HiSilicon Kirin was behind? !
As the president of HiSilicon, Mr. He is naturally upset.

But it's okay to be unhappy, he is the boss, and he can't end himself.

At this moment, Mr. Xu from HiSilicon said: "The smart housekeeper of Kyushu Technology Co., Ltd. is manufactured by Pudong Microelectronics' 28nm lithography machine. Even if it is multi-exposure, it is only about 10nm.

Our current Kirin 980 uses TSMC’s first-generation 7nm process. Compared with the previous generation of 10nm-based Kirin 970, in terms of performance alone, it has increased by at least 20%, while power consumption has been reduced by 40%.

The artificial intelligence NPU equipped with Cambrian 1M is also our second-generation artificial intelligence chip, which is better at processing multimedia data such as video and images.

How do you come to the conclusion that Kyushu Technology's AI chip, intelligent program architecture and computing logic are already a big step ahead of us? "

Mr. Xu's speech is clear, and the example he gave was last year's 980 chip. Everyone here knows that the new Kirin chip that Xiawei will announce in a few months is definitely much stronger than the current Kirin 980.

Yu Chengdong was not asked, he shook his head and said: "Our chips benefit from the advanced technology produced by the foundry, but the most important soul of the chip, the degree of intelligence, is not like that.

The chip used by Kyushu Technology Company has never announced the model and technical items, but we can start from the product point of view.

We can also achieve the intelligent life of the Internet of Everything demonstrated by the intelligent butler robot at the press conference. This is nothing more than data communication and big data processing technology.

But for the meticulous requirements, we can't do it.

For example, the smart program of this smart housekeeper interacts with people and has the ability to learn.

When I receive its services, the smart housekeeper will respond extremely sensitively to every sound I make and every moment my body responds.

And at the same time, it can simultaneously communicate with me without bluntness, even if I switch from Mandarin to English.

This not only requires the support of a large language database, but also requires intelligent programs to respond intelligently and quickly. "

Yu Chengdong took a sip of water when he said this, and continued: "I am the CEO of Xia Wei's consumer business, and my understanding of professional projects is definitely not as deep as that of comrades in this project.

I only know that we have a lot of products that can be called black technology under development.

But what users can touch is something that can be actually experienced.

Just like Pingguo and Han Xing's mobile phones, the signal is not as good as ours, and the finished film shot by our mobile phone is not as good as Pingguo's color adjustment. These things can obviously be experienced.

They won't listen to how much high technology we use, they will only start from actual experience.

As for me, it is based on actual experience, and what I expound is also a personal point of view.

If you have any dissatisfaction or doubts, you can express your opinion after actually experiencing this smart housekeeper. "

After Yu Chengdong finished speaking, he picked up the folder at hand and flipped through the materials.

Of course he also knew that what he said was a bit inappropriate, but so what?

Again, consumers will not get used to products they don't like to use.
