Reborn since 1993

Chapter 475: The road is wide and we each go our separate ways

Dongxin Semiconductor and Oriental Optoelectronics are separated by only a wall, with large tracts of land on both sides. Before they settled here, this area was full of old residential areas in the suburbs, many of which were wasteland, and a small part was still fields planted with miscellaneous crops.

Over the past few years, with huge investments from Doxin Semiconductor and Oriental Optoelectronics, as well as investment from Dongling Hi-Tech, a new industrial park has slowly emerged here.

There are many office buildings and living facilities around. The key is that talents related to semiconductors, electronics, and screen panels have begun to come here to find jobs.

To be honest, at present in China, Doxin Semiconductor is not the only one, but it is one of the few companies that are still developing their own chips.

As for those who want to work for foreign chip and semiconductor companies, they have to go abroad. Although Intel, AMD, Samsung, etc. all built factories in China in the past, what they valued was the domestic market, sufficient energy, and low production costs.

As for high-paying positions in the semiconductor industry, such as design and R&D, they will definitely not be recruited domestically.

The same type is the automobile industry. In the past, many people asked what the difference was between domestic automobile brands and foreign brands.

That is, automobile factories in Japan, America, South Korea, and old Europe may set up production lines in China and recruit basic production personnel, but high-paying positions such as designers and R&D engineers will never be placed in China.

After the rise of new energy vehicles in China, the entire industry has added more than 500,000 new jobs in a few years. In addition to workshop positions, there are also a large number of high-paying engineer positions in the design and development of hardware and software such as automotive batteries, motors, autonomous driving, automotive software, and charging piles. If it were other overseas companies, they would never give these positions to domestic personnel.

If domestic chip R&D personnel do not come to Doxin Semiconductor and cannot go abroad, their only option is to change careers!
The same goes for Oriental Optoelectronics. Now, Oriental Optoelectronics is basically the only company in China that is developing LCD panels, and it is also the only company willing to cultivate talents in this area.

With the influx of many talents, Oriental Optoelectronics and Doxin Semiconductor are also constantly recruiting and establishing chip and screen panel companies in the industrial park. Various supporting facilities and living facilities are constantly emerging, making this place more prosperous and not as remote as before.

But how far this side can develop depends on how far Dongxin Semiconductor and Oriental Optoelectronics can go.

If Dongxin Semiconductor can reach the level of Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and Nvidia, it is possible that Dongxin Semiconductor will pull the provincial capital of Hanxi into a domestic semiconductor center, provide a large number of jobs with annual salaries of hundreds of thousands, and attract countless talents to gather here.

By then, not only companies in the semiconductor industry chain will settle here, but real estate that has risen with the talents will also be able to develop. With some supporting education, this place is expected to become the area with the highest housing prices in Hanxi provincial capital, and of course, it will also become the richest district government!
The same is true for Oriental Optoelectronics. If the semiconductor and screen panel industries can develop, they will be an absolute money-making tool that can contribute a lot of revenue, drive the entire industrial chain, and provide a large number of jobs.

As for what to do if it doesn't develop, what else can be done? It depends on whether there is money to burn. If there is money to burn, it can survive. If there is no money to burn, then it's over...

Feng Jun saw the industrial parks of Oriental Optoelectronics and Doxin Semiconductor through the vehicle he was riding in. The scale of these two companies alone was much larger than that of his Huaqi.

Dongling Hi-Tech also has companies such as Feiyan Technology, Focus Media, and Torch Group under its umbrella, which makes Feng Jun sigh at the strength of Dongling Hi-Tech.

He graduated from Huaqing University and founded Huaqi. He has made a name for himself now. But compared with Li Dongling who debuted at the same time, Feng Jun couldn't help but think of a sentence he saw when he was browsing Tianya Forum recently: the gap between people is sometimes even greater than the difference between people and that thing.

Thinking about it again, Tianya Forum's parent company, Tianya Technology Company, is also a subsidiary of Dongling Hi-Tech, Feng Jun's expression became even weirder.

But then Feng Jun thought, let alone him, even Boss Liu who calls himself the godfather in the Zhongguancun circle just suffered a great setback at the hands of Li Dongling and suffered a huge setback, let alone him?
Looking at the domestic situation, even if we include the older generation in the technology industry, how many people can challenge Li Dongling? Thinking of this, Feng Jun felt a little relieved.

……

"boom!"

In a courtyard behind the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters office building, Li Dongling, wearing boxing gloves, was exchanging moves with Yang Zhigao.

After the New Year, Li Dongling intensified his training. He did not expect to become a master, but his experience in Hong Kong City made Li Dongling understand that he still needed to have some reaction ability at critical moments. Li Dongling did not want to be fooled by others.

After fighting with Yang Zhigao for several rounds, Li Dongling was already covered in sweat. At this time, a figure hurriedly walked in. "Boss Li, Boss Ren, let me give you this document!"

The person who came in was Li Dongling's assistant Su Chicheng.

Seeing Su Chicheng's serious face, Li Dongling took off his boxing gloves and took the information from Su Chicheng's hand.

After seeing the above content, Li Dongling took a deep breath, and then just shook his head slightly.

"LianXing has reached a comprehensive strategic cooperation with Intel. The new generation of computers will be equipped with the latest generation of Pentium processors with 330 million transistors just released by Intel. This will be the first computer in China equipped with Intel's latest processor!"

"Samsung announced that it has reached an exclusive agreement with Lenovo, making Lenovo the only company in mainland China that supplies Samsung with the latest memory sticks!"

"Sharp announced that it will supply the latest computer monitors to Lenovo!"

The document in Li Dongling's hand was the news that had just been released. Lianxiang, which had just concluded its lawsuit with Shenzhou Storage, released shocking information.

I don't know what conditions Boss Liu used to exchange for cooperation with companies such as Intel, Sharp, Samsung, Maxtor, and many of them are exclusive cooperations.

With the support of companies such as Intel, Lenovo has obtained the most advanced chips, as well as memory sticks, hard drives, and other overseas components, which are exclusively or preferentially supplied to Lenovo.

This means that among domestic computers, if users do not want to spend several times the price to buy foreign products and want to buy the computer with the best performance, they can only buy it from Lianxiang!
With the support of companies such as Intel and Sharp, Lenovo has directly occupied the domestic "high-end computer" brand market.

The previous public opinions and various revelations have had an impact on Lenovo, but if Lenovo no longer cares about its face, it can just focus on producing high-end domestic computers.

This is like having a mobile phone with a high-end chip supplied exclusively by Qualcomm. Its camera performance, gaming experience, and smoothness are much better than other phones. And then you ask users whether they will buy it or not?

Similarly, Lenovo's high-end computers, which were the first to get the latest chips supplied exclusively by Intel, have greatly improved performance and are much cheaper than IBM, Compaq, HP, etc., and only Lenovo has them. So let's ask computer buyers, will they buy Lenovo's high-end machines?

Human nature cannot stand the test. For the same price, who would want to buy a machine with poor performance when they can buy the most advanced machine? !
Although Lenovo's new generation of computers has not yet been officially released, media reports say that computer dealers and agents who had previously abandoned Lenovo are now rushing to Lenovo to get their hands on the computers.

Li Dongling looked at the information in his hand. He didn't know what kind of agreement Boss Liu had reached with Intel, Samsung, Sharp and other companies. But to get the support of the other party, it must have cost a huge price and given up a considerable amount of profit. Otherwise, how could the other party help Lian Xiang? !

But no matter what, Lianxiang's move has indeed stabilized the situation. As long as there is support from companies like Intel, there is no need to worry about bankruptcy in the short term.

However, under this kind of cooperation, Li Dongling didn't know how much money he could make just by selling a machine.

In addition, it is estimated that if Lian wants to completely go the assembly route in the future, it is estimated that it will no longer have self-developed technology, and it is impossible to have it. This is equivalent to going down a dead end.

"Tell President Ren, I know!"

Li Dongling returned the document to Su Chicheng, said just one sentence, and said no more.

Su Chicheng was stunned when he heard this. Li Dongling saw this and said, "Tell Mr. Ren to continue to follow the plan and not to lose his composure. If Dongling Hi-Tech develops its own computer, it can't be in a hurry!"
