Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1882 The Weight of Industrial Crown
As for computing power companies, they simply draw a circle around several mining pits and then build a base in the middle.

It just so happened that this was a small village with only three households, and the residential land for a village of several hundred people was still available, so Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing bought it directly and immediately gave a large sum of money to Qiu Haitang.

While Ji Donglai was busy expanding his business into Mingqian County, two groups were on the verge of a showdown in a magnificent residential area in southern China.

"What on earth do you mean? We have already met all the suggestions you raised in the early stage, why is it that this is still going on?"

The managers wearing sunflower badges had cold eyes at this moment. They had negotiated with the person in front of them ten times, and each time the other party was more excessive than the last.

At first, it was just export restrictions, then user agreements, and now even the export targets have been restricted. The most important thing is that the other party wants all 5G technology, which is the absolute support for the next technological trend. The other party requires that the Sunflower Project must fully disclose all core technical content.

The company's leaders are now restricted from traveling, and this matter concerns every Sunflower Movement employee.

"Gentlemen, ladies, you have no choice! And you must agree to our conditions, otherwise you won't even be able to get the chip. As we said, even Jesus can't save you. Sign the agreement and send it to us. We don't accept express delivery. Thank you!"

Facing the angry group of people in front of him, the white gentleman adjusted his tie, then arrogantly threw the pile of agreements in front of him on the table, staring at the group of Chinese opposite him with an embarrassed look.

The other party’s meaning is very clear. No matter how awesome the software process is, the Chinese will never be able to cross the mountain of high-end chips.

What science has no borders? It's ok to lie, but if you really want to be serious, who will be willing to help you fulfill the agreement without sufficient benefits? Of course, the other party also grasped the weaknesses of Chinese companies.

In recent years, China's demand for all chips has been extremely strong.

We have ordered a lot of high-end lithography machines from Europe and have been actively working on their imitation.

But in the words of these white gentlemen, I have told you all the principles, but you still can't make it. This is our brilliance.

As long as you cannot produce high-end lithography machines, you will always need to bow to us, otherwise your comprehensive industrialization will stagnate, and the production of high-end scientific and technological products will stagnate.

Just like that, a group of gentlemen in white swaggered out of the yard under the angry gazes of a group of Chinese people, stopped at the door and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Bah! So what if you made a photolithography machine? You have to pay us whatever patent fees we ask for, and we'll eventually squeeze you dry, humph!"

After spitting a mouthful of thick phlegm at the door, the gentlemen in white walked out of the yard arrogantly.

"Haven't we found a replacement chip manufacturer yet?"

At this time, the Sunflower Group felt extremely unwilling, but they could only endure it.

Chips are the company's only weak point. Although there are backup plans, there are still big problems.

"Not yet. Domestic chip equipment is all imported. Many people are worried that working for us will anger foreigners and eventually get locked out. So few people are willing to take our orders. Moreover, they have never made our high-end chips. The product failure rate is extremely low. Only some manufacturers have made samples for us."

"The photolithography machine has been a problem for us in China for decades. It is too expensive. The low-end photolithography machines that have been made in other countries for many years are rare in China."

The technical manager was also very frustrated at this time. As the leader of the core circle, the other party did not expect things to develop to this point.

The boss can handle it, but my group can’t.

All kinds of equipment are urgently consuming chips. After searching through various domestic chip foundries, there are not many that can really make good products.

"There are still many companies whose chips have not been tested. Hurry up. If one of them succeeds, we can be proud of it. These white pigs are unreliable!"

The boss pushed his glasses and walked out with the team, ready to report back to the chairman. At this time, in the Sunflower Laboratory, a staff member opened a package of chips and rubbed his eyes. This was the twentieth batch of chips tested today, and the first nineteen batches were all unqualified.

As the high-end core chip that our company needs, from design to construction, only products made by several high-end foreign manufacturers are qualified. But now they are out of stock, which is a big deal.

"Xiao He, you do this batch, I'll take a break!"

His arm felt a little sore, so he handed the chip to his assistant and walked out the door.

Xiao He was testing the chips of a domestic manufacturer. He casually placed the teacher's chip in front of himself and began to test it with all his heart.

The first three pieces were all unqualified, and then Xiao He picked up one and placed it directly on the testing table.

"Shh!"

"Ok?"

Various letters began to jump, and in just a moment, the detection value reached the maximum, and Xiao He's eyes widened.

Press the restart button of the device again, and the chip passes the test once.

Then, after type testing and various destructive tests, the chip in front of us passed all of them. Its test values ​​are comparable to those of foreign high-end chips, and even better.

"That's not right. The first three chips of this company were not up to standard. How come it suddenly got better?"

Looking at this unexpectedly good sample, Xiao He was also stunned. In order to verify his guess, he hurriedly took another one from the box and connected it, but it failed the test.

"It doesn't make sense..."

Ten chips in a row all tested unqualified, but this one tested close to perfect. Xiao He didn't understand.

"How is it, is the test finished?"

Xiao He's master came back from a break outside, looked at Xiao He who was standing there in a daze, and looked through the test records.

"Master, this manufacturer that has been supplying us for a long time has 20 chips, one of which has a super good test result, and the other 19 all failed. What's going on? Do I need to contact this manufacturer?"

Looking at the test results in front of him, Xiao He was puzzled.

"How come there is still one? How many did you test?"

"Oops, I got the wrong one. This is from your box. Whose is this? It's all passed. The master found it!"

The teacher looked at the box containing the samples, and pulled out a chip from the corner with tweezers. Xiao He grinned and slapped his thigh. Xiao He's master hurriedly checked the test records.

"Test all the samples in this box, quickly!"

A number close to perfection is exactly what this company needs.

This time, we conducted testing based on past experience, with companies with mature supply experience given priority, and Yiyuan Zhizao's chips were ranked last.
