Reborn since 1993

Chapter 791 Breaking all laws with one force
After hearing what Li Dongling said, Bao Hongshen and others understood that it was impossible to expect Shenzhou Computer and Lian Xiang to call off the fighting and make peace.

Because this is a war between two camps. When Dongling Hi-Tech is unwilling to give up its own research and development and is unwilling to give up Dongxin Semiconductor, can it still count on Intel to be Dongxin Semiconductor's younger brother? That is even more unrealistic.

After it became clear who the target of Shenzhou Computer was, Bao Hongshen stopped talking and expressed his thoughts to both sides.

For the Development Department of the Technical Committee, what needs to be done is to "treat everyone equally", at least it seems so. As long as Shenzhou and Lianxiang do not completely fall out, it will be enough to do so during Bao Hongshen's term of office.

As for what will happen in the future, it is not something that he, as the director of the Technology Development Department, can decide.

"Of course, the Technical Committee treats Lianxiang and Shenzhou equally. If there are any problems that need to be solved, we are willing to solve them!"

As Bao Hongshen expected, Shenzhou Computer needed some technical and academic resources, and the technical committee had a lot of good things in this regard.

As for orders, let’s not talk about Shenzhou computers first. There are so many orders now that they cannot be fulfilled. In Internet cafes alone, there are orders for hundreds of thousands of computers waiting in line.

Moreover, if Shenzhou Computer really wants to place an order for computers, wouldn't it be easier for it to go to the Economic and Trade Commission, the Development and Reform Commission, the State Investment Group, the Supply and Marketing Corporation, etc.? !
There are hundreds of universities, colleges, high schools and junior high schools under the jurisdiction of the Economic and Trade Commission alone. In addition, a large number of state-owned companies and units in the construction, chemical, machinery, banking and other industries, such as the three oil companies, China Construction, China Railway Construction, and China Development Bank, are all under the jurisdiction of the Economic and Trade Commission.

If all these schools and national companies are added together, how many computer orders do they have?

If Dongling Hi-Tech really loses its face and asks the Economic and Trade Commission for orders, forget about it. Even if all other domestic computer brands and overseas computer brands are added together, they probably won't be able to compete with Shenzhou Computer!
Li Dongling chuckled and said to Bao Hongshen, "Dongling Hi-Tech is preparing to submit candidates to the Hanxi Association for Science and Technology to participate in the selection of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. I hope that the National Technical Committee can provide relevant assistance to Dongling Hi-Tech!"

"Candidate for the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the Chinese Academy of Engineering?"

Bao Hongshen was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that Li Dongling would make such a request.

With Dongling Hi-Tech's current influence, it is no worse than a certain liquor brand in its previous life. If it recommends its own technical experts to be selected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as long as the recommended candidates are not ridiculously bad, they can generally be included in the candidate list.

But whether you will be selected in the end is not certain. The academic industry also has factions, connections, and networks. Technology is one aspect, but sometimes, disputes are unavoidable.

"Dongling Hi-Tech can recommend two scholars. The Technical Committee is willing to provide guarantees and selection consultation for the academician candidates recommended by Dongling Hi-Tech!"

Bao Hongshen thought for a while and said, "The Technical Committee has given a helping hand. If Dongling Hi-Tech doesn't lend a hand, how can he explain to the Economic and Trade Commission and the Foreign Exchange Bureau?"

When he said this, it was actually equivalent to agreeing to Li Dongling's proposal. If the technical committee came forward and was responsible for coordination, this matter could basically be accomplished!

Once Dongling Hi-Tech's technical experts become academicians, Dongling Hi-Tech will have its own territory and voice in the academic industry.

"By the way, Dongxin Semiconductor is about to hold a new product launch conference in Hanxi Province. I wonder if Director Bao is interested in going to inspect it?"

"What new product? An improved version of the Tianji chip?"

When Bao Hongshen heard this, he didn't think much about it. He looked at the secretary behind him and asked about his schedule. He thought that Dongxin Semiconductor was going to release an improved version of the Tianji chip.

This is not uncommon in the chip industry. For example, after Intel released the first generation of Pentium chips, it continued to improve them, including processes and technologies, and improved the 800-nanometer chip to 600 nanometers. In addition, multiple models were born.

Bao Hongshen thought that Dongxin Semiconductor was also planning to do the same thing and wanted the National Technology Committee to endorse the Tianji chip. As long as there was no conflict in their schedules, Bao Hongshen didn't mind giving Dongxin Semiconductor a little face.

"The lithography department of Dongxin Semiconductor has developed the 436-nanometer lithography machine Dongxin No. !"

"what?"

Bao Hongshen, who had just talked to his secretary for a few words, was in a trance. He wondered if he had heard it wrongly. What he heard was... a photolithography machine?!
He Chaofang, who was sitting there, staggered and stood up in shock. "Dongxin Semiconductor has developed a 436-nanometer domestic lithography machine?"

……

Yanjing, the same hotel conference room where they negotiated with Intel that day, except that the Intel on the banner was replaced by Toshiba. After seeing off Toshiba's people, Boss Liu was in a good mood and said to Guo Wei and his confidants, "It's done!"

“Now foreign manufacturers such as Intel, Sharp, Toshiba, Samsung, and Maxtor have reached new supply agreements with the China Computer Association.

With this new supply agreement, the members of the China Computer Manufacturers Association will regain their price advantage over some computers in the future!"

Boss Liu pressed the documents on the table. According to the new supply agreement, overseas computer component manufacturers such as Intel would significantly reduce the prices of components when supplying to the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association.

The prices of components have dropped, which means that computers from brands like Lenovo and others can start a new round of price cuts. So what if their performance can’t compare to Shenzhou? As long as the price is low enough, are they still worried that they won’t be able to sell?

The rest of the people attending the meeting, representing the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, also breathed a sigh of relief. They were also under tremendous pressure facing Shenzhou.

Now, relying on the Shenzhou threat theory, overseas component suppliers have finally lowered their prices, and their respective computer brands can also see price cuts, and sales are expected to increase.

Touching the contracts, Boss Liu was thinking about his plan. These contracts were like an encirclement built around Shenzhou Computer and Dongxin Semiconductor, constantly gathering more computer manufacturers and component companies together, surrounding Shenzhou Computer, and finally finishing it off in one battle!
Just as Boss Liu was about to ask someone to continue negotiations with other computer component manufacturers, the phone suddenly rang.

"Lao He, what's the news from Hanxi?"

Boss Liu knew that He Chaofang was going to Hanxi on behalf of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He also intended to let He Chaofang keep an eye on that place, fearing that there would be some news there that would be unfavorable to Lian Xiang.

"What did you say? Dongxin Semiconductor has developed its own domestic lithography machine?!"

Boss Liu was a little bit out of control for a moment. He was a little doubtful whether he had heard it wrong. He was maneuvering and winning over so many allies here just to target Doxin Semiconductor.

However, all these methods were defeated by Dongxin Semiconductor, which launched its own domestic lithography machines.

Boss Liu knew too well the influence of such news. If it was true, then Dongxin Semiconductor would have a golden body. It would be impossible to kill Dongxin Semiconductor!

Given the current atmosphere in the domestic technology industry, even for self-developed technology, it is not so urgent because it can be purchased from overseas.

But this does not mean that the country really does not care about domestic technology and equipment. This can be seen from the reactions of all parties after the appearance of the Tianji chip.

And now Dongxin Semiconductor has developed its own lithography machine. Even though it is not considered an advanced domestic lithography machine, it is still a unique and important tool in the country!
Boss Liu can imagine that, in the future, Dongxin Semiconductor will have a very bad position in domestic science and technology. Unless Dongxin Semiconductor itself becomes desperate and voluntarily closes down, it is almost impossible to make Dongxin Semiconductor disappear!
Even in the future, I am afraid that domestic semiconductor manufacturers such as Shougang NEC and Huajing will have to purchase several lithography machines from Dongxin Semiconductor, whether they like it or not, to express their support for Dongxin Semiconductor!
After hanging up the phone, Boss Liu slumped in his chair without saying a word, with a gloomy face. The staff of the Mainland Computer Manufacturers Association, as well as Boss Liu's confidants such as Guo Wei and Yang Yuanqing, all stood aside and communicated with each other with their eye contact.

They all heard what Boss Liu said about Dongxin Semiconductor and lithography machines. Even those who were not sensitive to technology could sense that something seemed to have happened.

Shaking his head, Boss Liu stared at the ceiling of the hotel conference room above him and said in a helpless tone, "It is estimated that it will not be long before the media will report that Dongxin Semiconductor has developed a domestically produced lithography machine!"

"Dongxin Semiconductor can't go bankrupt!"

When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but have this thought in their minds.

If developing the independently developed domestically-made "Tianji" chip is a get-out-of-jail-free card for Dongxin Semiconductor, allowing it to not have to worry about collapse in the short term, then the emergence of the Dongxin No. 1 lithography machine will make it invincible!

The presence of chips and lithography machines means that Dongxin Semiconductor's status in the domestic technology industry has soared by more than a hundred times. It would be an exaggeration to say that it will never fall, but even if Dongxin is going to fall, it is estimated that it will survive much longer than Lianxiang!

As for the rumor that mainland computer manufacturers are targeting Doxin Semiconductor, the representative from Great Wall Computer felt that it did not exist at all.

I'm afraid it won't be long before these computer manufacturers will receive "reminders" from relevant departments to purchase chips from Doxin Semiconductor!
Even if it does not support Dongxin Semiconductor's chips, it must support domestic lithography machines, right? !

The representative of Great Wall Computer Company felt disheartened for a moment. The so-called alliance to encircle and suppress Shenzhou Computer and Dongxin Semiconductor ended up being broken by the other party's "ordinary" move before they even encircled them!
