Our Rise Era

Chapter 307 Life and death decision!

The midnight wind blows against the window.

The leaves rustled in the wind.

Xu Yunlong looked at Zhang Yang.

In my memory……

Zhang Yang has always been a dictatorial person.

He has a strong desire to control the future, and anyone's opinion that differs from his will be rejected.

Everyone revolves around him and is a servant of his system.

but……

At this moment, Xu Yunlong felt Zhang Yang's heaviness.

Especially when Zhang Yang looked at everyone and asked this question, Xu Yunlong felt suffocated.

Xu Yunlong realized...

A situation that even Zhang Yang couldn't control seemed to be right under their feet...

"Qualcomm's offer is very generous. If you agree, I am confident that in 2016, Android will become a supporting role in the entire Chinese mobile phone smart system!"

"From high-end, mid-end, low-end...we will control the entire market, and we will be the next overlord!"

"..."

“[Wheat Technology] might be listed!”

“It will create an unprecedented market value!”

"Friends present here, you will also become billionaires due to the listing of [Wheat Technology]..."

"As long as nothing goes wrong in the future, our app will dominate the entire 4G smartphone era..."

"..."

This is a bright and beautiful tomorrow.

but……

When Xu Yunlong heard this, he did not feel excited, but felt more and more suffocated.

"But we will no longer have the ability to develop our own chip processors!"

"For at least ten years, in addition to our achievements in the Internet, everything we do must serve Qualcomm and become Qualcomm's spokesperson in China..."

"..."

Xu Yunlong lowered his head.

Ding Ziqiang also lowered his head.

They have all experienced the era of [MTK]...

They knew very well how glorious they were when the MTK system dominated China.

However, if you want to cooperate with MTK for a long time and become their spokesperson in mainland China, there are conditions.

It's very simple...

Lost soul!

Become the shell of [MTK].

The once fearless Zhang Yang left the MTK system, but now, it’s just that MTK has become Qualcomm.

However, if Qualcomm is rejected this time, it will not be as simple as the chip processor!
Although Xu Yunlong still doesn't think that the West will ban their [photolithography machines] until now, but, what if?
No more [lithography machine]...

They can’t make chips!

Can't make chips...

Their [Wheat Technology] can only survive 2016 at most, but what about 2017?

The times are progressing, and even though they now have two 20NM lithography machines, they still need a large number of people to maintain the equipment and support Western technology...

Once they are gone...

If there is a problem with the lithography machine, then the maintenance cost and upkeep will become a problem. The most important thing is...

As the crystallization of human wisdom, photolithography machine...

"Terry said something to me..."

"He said that even if the most advanced lithography machine drawings were placed in front of us, we wouldn't be able to do it..."

“Although there is no explicit ban that prevents us from purchasing lithography machines, the threat is already obvious.”

I don’t want to admit it, but that’s the truth…”

"All the top optical materials for lithography machines are in the hands of the West. Any problem with any component will affect the operation of the entire system. We have to consider a problem. That is, we have no other way except to mobilize the whole country to crack it..."

"..."

Zhang Yang's voice became heavier and heavier.

After coming to this world...

He has come to where he is today step by step!

In the end, he was faced with the most difficult choice: to kneel down and enjoy a wonderful life and become the overlord of the Internet, or to stand up and gamble on a product with a probability of success close to 0.

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, the entire office suddenly fell silent.

Ge Guoxing lit a cigarette and smoked it continuously.

I wanted to say something, but found that the words reached my throat and in the end, I couldn't say anything.

This is a gamble. The more familiar you are with the details of this gamble, the more you will understand how difficult it is.

He looked out the window...

From 06 to now, it has been almost ten years.

During this time, he had been trying hard to break free from the cage, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. In the end, he was pinned in the corner and couldn't move.

This feeling of frustration made him very uncomfortable.

"Boss Ge, what do you think we should do next?"

He saw Zhang Yang looking at him.

His throat moved again, and after a long while, he shook his head bitterly: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know..."

He looked at Zhang Yang and then at Xu Yunlong.

"Mr. Xu?"

Xu Yunlong, who once had the worst mentality...

He had once left the team for a short time when Xiaomai encountered a ban from MTK... and at this moment he trembled slightly.

When he saw many pairs of eyes falling on him, he also lit a cigarette.

"Before, including this morning, I actually never understood why we had to gamble..."

"When it comes to the photovoltaic industry, we are gambling that we can break through after the Western encirclement and suppression of us!"

“When we cooperated with MTK, we had to gamble on the compatibility of the mobile phones…”

"When we cooperate with [Android], we have to develop our own system, and we have to gamble... on the system and hardware..."

"..."

"In fact, we originally had a smooth road to walk on, but every time, at the peak, reality slapped us hard in the face, and then we had to walk those thorny paths, even on the edge of a cliff... Isn't it good for us to lower our heads and accept the gift of fate?"

Xu Yunlong's voice echoed deep in everyone's heart.

"I'm not a courageous person. My original ambition in following Mr. Zhang was to buy a house, make a million, and achieve financial freedom... I never thought that I would be able to achieve so much in these years! I once left the team out of fear. To be honest... When [Wheat 2] and [Wheat 3] were sold, I stayed in the office and vomited all night... I was so upset that I couldn't sleep all night, fearing that we would fail and then be left with nothing..."

"But fortunately, time and time again, we won the bet!"

"After experiencing life and death again and again, I finally understand why we gamble..."

"We are just unwilling to accept that those sons of bitches are using their technology to hold us back and make us kneel down and become their lackeys. That's all..."

"I know this too. I understand that we want to rise, and they want to maintain their dominance. The conflict between us is bound to be irreconcilable. Sooner or later, there will be a war!"

"Since there is no harmony, then let's just make arrangements in advance!"

"This time...I want to gamble again!"

Xu Yunlong took a deep breath.

He stood up and stared at Zhang Yang.

The cowardice and anxiety of the past.

In his eyes, it was completely invisible!

Some have only the determination to fight to the death.

After hearing his voice, Ge Guoxing, who had been hesitating, trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe that Xu Yunlong would say such a thing.

But then, he put out his cigarette and took a deep breath: "It has been about 10 years since I started the transition from the [Little Magic Power] mobile phone to the chip industry... In these ten years, I am very clear about our current situation and the difficulties we are in. However, I just thought about it carefully. If I were to hand over all my industries and become a wealthy man who takes care of his old age... I can't accept it! I also choose to take a gamble. This time, if I lose, I lose..."

Ge Guoxing looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang nodded.

His eyes turned to Ding Ziqiang and Chen You again.

The two looked at each other and finally nodded.

Thomson is the only non-Chinese.

At this moment, he also understood what Zhang Yang and the others wanted to do.

After a long silence, he nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang Yang, since you have chosen to join this team, I will carefully guard the entire [Wheat Technology] system and let the team optimize the system to the extreme!"

After looking at the expressions of everyone present...

Zhang Yang nodded.

A smile finally appeared on his heavy expression.

"Okay! Since everyone agrees, let's prepare for the worst!"

"Of course, I will do everything I can to buy time!"

"..."

..............................

"Have you really decided to take this path?"

"..."

"The lithography machine is countless times more difficult than chip design. You are very impulsive this time. At present, even if the whole of China puts all its efforts into it, it will not be able to make a breakthrough in a short time."

"..."

"Yes! Very impulsive! In fact, the best solution is to cooperate with Qualcomm while..."

"..."

"Has Qualcomm already said this? Are they going to acquire or destroy the entire chip system?"

"..."

"Is there no room for maneuver? Let Mr. Zhang buy some time. We need time, whether it's five years, four years, or even one year..."

"..."

"Yes, let Mr. Zhang help buy some time..."

"..."

It’s 2 a.m. in China.

It’s 1 p.m. in the United States.

Lei Fu was in the research institute when he received a call from the other side of the ocean.

This leader, who had once helped Shengxing make great contributions in the chip field, had a very complicated look in his eyes after receiving the call.

He realized that the most brutal game was about to begin on the battlefield between China and the West.

He nodded.

A few hours later...

He showed up in a cafe.

In the private room of the coffee shop, more than a dozen researchers wearing glasses sat down one after another.

These people are looking at him...

Last year, these people followed him back to China during the holidays and made great contributions to Shengxing's chip design field.

He hesitated for a while, his eyes were a little heavy, and finally he sighed and said quietly.

"Everyone!"

"We don't have much time left!"

"We have to make a choice!"

"..."
