Reborn since 1993

Chapter 592 Things have changed

After Boss Liu's call, Yang Yuanqing, Guo Wei, Liu Jun and others calmed down.

I have to say that Boss Liu's mentality is far better than others. Other domestic computer manufacturers would have been in chaos when they heard the news, but Boss Liu returned to normal in just a few seconds.

His words woke up Yang Yuanqing, Guo Wei and others. Even if Doxin Semiconductor really developed its own computer chip, its performance would definitely be far inferior to Intel's latest chip. Otherwise, they would really suspect that there must be something fishy going on.

Furthermore, let’s talk about conspiracy theories a little bit. If Dongxin Semiconductor has really developed a chip that rivals Intel’s, then what awaits Dongxin is probably Intel’s iron fist!
Intel will never allow another big enemy like AMD to emerge in Asia and threaten its existence.

Over the years, Intel and other overseas chip manufacturers such as AMD, Infineon, and Toshiba have had a tacit understanding to treat the domestic and other Asian chip markets as their own backyards and inventory dumping grounds. They never supply the most advanced chips to the domestic market, and whenever the inventory cannot be sold, they will pull it to the domestic market. This is also an undocumented rule for overseas chip manufacturers!

If a strong enemy suddenly emerges, Intel's instinctive reaction is to strangle the opponent in the cradle. It will definitely support manufacturers such as Lenovo to strangle Dongxin and Shenzhou Computer.

"We should proceed as planned, but don't touch the media yet. We need to contact Intel and Samsung and explain the current situation to those suppliers. We need their support!"

After saying this and waving his hand, asking Yang Yuanqing and the others to leave, Boss Liu slumped back in his chair, looking exhausted.

Upon hearing the news suddenly, Boss Liu felt not much stronger than Liu Jun did just now, but he could not lose his composure, or even show the slightest panic, otherwise, the internal situation would explode before his opponent even made a move.

Combining today's news with the news that Doxin Semiconductor suddenly made a big splash some time ago and invested more than 400 million US dollars to build a chip production base, everything makes sense.

It seems that the opponent knows the opponent better. I don’t know why, even though the authenticity of Dongxin’s self-developed chip has not been confirmed yet, Boss Liu has a feeling that this may be true...

When Boss Liu thought about Ni Guangnan, who might be featured in the central media's interview, or even win a national award and receive an award in Yanjing, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

By then, the grudge between him and Ni Guangnan would probably be brought up. In the past, many people in the outside world supported his theory of trade, industry and technology, but this time... Boss Liu couldn't imagine it.

But no matter what, Boss Liu cannot admit defeat. This is an invisible war. Amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, only one person can stand!

Boss Liu is unwilling to admit defeat. Once he does, all the situation he has built up over the years will be wiped out. How many twelve years can a person have in his life? Boss Liu, who is already middle-aged, can no longer start over. The right time, right place and right people are all gone!
……

"Have the test results come out? Is the Tianji chip real? What are its performance?"

Inside the Xiyuan State Guesthouse in the provincial capital of Hanxi, you can tell what this hotel is just by listening to the name. People of a certain level who come to Hanxi on business trips from Yanjing or other provinces basically stay here.

In the past, cars from all over the country were parked in the Xiyuan State Guesthouse, but today there were a lot of cars with license plates from other places, and there were even a few cars with military license plates.

"Director Hu, the experts in the department are currently conducting an inspection. It will take some time before they can give the analysis results!"

An accompanying person said to Hu Guangsha, Director of the Electronic Industry Bureau,

The people present included not only those from the Electronics Industry Bureau, but also the Industrial Machinery Bureau, the Yanjing Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Economic and Trade Commission, the Development and Reform Commission, and personnel sent by the Hanxi Provincial Government.

There were several other people who were discussing in low voices. Although they were all in casual clothes, one of them, a man in his fifties, sat there with his back straight. He had an aura of majesty without even getting angry. Outsiders could also tell that he had many years of military experience.

After receiving the news from the Hanxi Provincial Government, people from multiple departments in Yanjing rushed over.

Tianji chip is not only important to Dongling Hi-Tech, but also to many domestic departments and units.

You can say America is bad, but you can’t say it’s bad, especially for America which is at its peak.

Five years ago, America launched Operation Desert Storm against the Kingdom of Babylon, which blasted the million-strong army and steel torrent tanks of Babylon, known as the world's third most powerful military country, into pieces.

After this war, the country, like countless other regions, began to upgrade its weapons to modern and information-based ones.

When it comes to informatization, the most important thing is chips. However, it is too easy to leave backdoors in chips and operating systems. If they are used in weapons, the risk is too great!
Even if you want to buy advanced chips from abroad, the other party must be willing to sell them. Not only the chips, but also the lithography machines and chip materials used to produce the chips must also depend on the other party!

"Dongxin Semiconductor is a subsidiary of Dongling Hi-Tech, so it's reliable!"

The person from the Economic and Trade Commission spoke up and said that although the person who came from the Economic and Trade Commission this time was not Gu Xiguang, the relationship between the Economic and Trade Commission and Dongling Hi-Tech was there, and he was still speaking for Doxin Semiconductor.

"Everyone who has rushed here today must be hoping that the Tianji chip can be successful, but we have to confirm it before we can draw any conclusions. Otherwise, it will be a false alarm and no one will be able to explain themselves then!" Hu Guangsha said. It was precisely because of Dongling Hi-Tech that Yanjing attached so much importance to it.

If it was a small company that suddenly launched a satellite, even if the various departments in Yanjing would pay attention to it, they would not make such a big fuss about it.

It was getting dark and all the lights in the Xiyuan State Guesthouse were turned on. The room where Hu Guangsha and others were staying was filled with smoke. Although they had been waiting for a whole day and were quite anxious, no one left as they were all waiting for the test results.

There was a knock on the door, which cheered Hu Guangsha up. The guard who had been guarding the door got up and opened the door after confirming it, and several figures came in one after another.

The leader was wearing a Zhongshan suit with a sign of the Yenching Weapons Research Institute hanging on his chest.

After Lu Jihong came in, he walked straight towards the man with a military aura.

"The Tianji chip test is real!"

"It is a chip of the same level as Intel's 486 Pentium chip. It was independently designed and developed by a team led by Ni Guangnan and Huang Lingyi. It adopts the MIPS architecture and uses a 600-nanometer chip process. The chip performance is relatively stable and mature!"

Hearing what Lu Jihong said, Hu Guangsha and others in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Jihong is the chief engineer of the Yanjing Weaponry Research Institute and has high attainments in the field of electronics. Although his major is not in chip manufacturing, it is not difficult for him, a big shot in the military weapons industry, to identify whether a chip is real or fake.

After hearing Lu Jihong's words, the man who had been on the battlefield didn't say much. He just nodded to Hu Guangsha and others and left.

He is here today just to confirm whether the Tianji chip is real or not. This is very important to him. If it is real, there will naturally be someone to take charge of the follow-up matters.

When he was about to reach the door, the man stopped and looked at everyone with fierce eyes, "It is necessary to improve the security and confidentiality measures of Dongxin Semiconductor.

I hope the Hanxi Provincial Government can communicate with Dongling Hi-Tech and Dongxin Semiconductor. I will send an internal security team to provide security and confidentiality for Dongxin Semiconductor!"

After this person left, the atmosphere in the State Guesthouse suddenly relaxed a lot. Hu Guangsha smiled and said to the representative from the Hanxi Provincial Government, "Then please contact the Hanxi Provincial Government Office with Dongxin Semiconductor. We will go to inspect Dongxin Semiconductor tomorrow!"

After confirming that the Tianji chip is real, there are many things that the Ministry of Electronics Industry and other departments in Yanjing can do.

"I hope to purchase a batch of chips after the Tianji chip starts mass production!"

Lu Jihong also said directly that he knew that the Tianji chips would probably be out of stock in the future.

Not only will Dongling Hi-Tech's Shenzhou computers need it, but also the weapons research institute where he works and various research institutes, etc., will need to purchase fighter chips in large quantities. If he doesn't purchase the first batch, he will have to queue up if he wants to purchase later!
.......
The rumor that Dongling Hi-Tech is going to enter the computer industry has spread like wildfire. Various media, magazines, etc. have been reporting extensively on the news. The technology and financial channels of television stations have even launched special reports to discuss Dongling Hi-Tech's move.

But amid all the clamor, Lian Xiang, who was originally believed by the outside world to be the first to jump out and challenge Dongling Hi-Tech, has been unusually quiet for several days.

"This is not like Old Liu's style!"

Founder Group's president Zhang Yufeng and a few of his trusted subordinates were also discussing the current domestic computer industry landscape.

Founder is also a veteran player in the domestic computer industry. It used to be an agent for DEC computers, but now it is doing the same as Lenovo, importing parts and assembling computers and selling them with its own label.

In order to repay Dongling Hi-Tech's support for Founder, Zhang Yufeng even decided to place an assembly plant of Founder in Pingyang, providing thousands of jobs to the local area.

Founder is now the second best-selling computer brand in China, second only to Lenovo. This is because the Founder brand is so well-known that it is almost the representative of the light of domestic technology. With the foundation of laser typesetters, Founder computers have no trouble selling.

Zhang Yufeng knew Boss Liu quite well. Given Boss Liu's personality, he would normally come forward and speak for Lian Xiang. But this time he was extremely quiet, as if he had no idea about the media rumors at all.

Just when Zhang Yufeng was puzzled, the phone on the table suddenly rang. It was the technical manager calling, "Mr. Zhang, hurry up and watch today's news broadcast!"

Hearing the anxious tone on the other end of the phone, Zhang Yufeng frowned, but still moved to a conference room with a TV.

After turning on the TV, the headlines on the news made Zhang Yufeng stand there in a daze.

"Our country's Hanxi Dongxin Semiconductor Company announced today that the Tianji computer chip was successfully taped out, which marks the successful development of my country's first independently designed and independently developed computer chip!"
