Our Rise Era

Chapter 316 The last battle!
2016 October.

At the iPhone's autumn launch conference, iPhone 7 was released.

The phone comes in rose gold, gold, silver, black, jet black, and red colors.

It has a built-in A10 Fusion processor, supports dual-core and quad-core processors, and has powerful performance.

In terms of camera, the iPhone 7 uses a 1200-megapixel rear camera, supports OIS optical image stabilization and RAW format output, and is equipped with a dual-color temperature flash.

……

The night of September 2016, 9.

Ge Guoxing stayed silently in the company's office, looking at the configuration and data of iPhone 7.

As the 4G era becomes more and more mature, there is no doubt that iPhone 7 did not bring Ge Guoxing the same surprise that iPhone 4 once did. On the contrary, it has gradually gone further and further on the road of relying on its old advantages.

However, the hardware updates are always at the forefront of the world, and the motherboard technology still makes Ge Guoxing feel a surge of pressure, like a mountain pressing down on him.

"The Netherlands still has no intention of giving us the lithography machine?"

"Boss Ge, what they mean is very simple. They can sell it to Taiji Electronics. We can buy the chips we need from Taiji Electronics..."

"What about the price increase?"

"Boss Ge, you should know that this is not a matter of price, but... a blockade!"

"..."

The sky is shining with stars.

Ge Guoxing pays little attention to the noise of the Internet.

He only knew that although they still owned the entire low-end machine market in China...

However, the cost-effectiveness is gradually decreasing with the market updates and iterations.

For mobile phone brands with [Xiaomi System] as the core, apart from updates in pixels, speakers, systems, etc., the hardware system has only been slightly improved.

In other words, they are falling behind visibly, and their backwardness is reflected in their gradual elimination by the market and eventually becoming the dust of history.

This time, not only is [Wheat 4] nowhere in sight...

Even [Wheat A3] is beginning to become a distant prospect.

The call was quickly hung up.

Ge Guoxing sat in the chair, and many images popped up in his mind.

In the end, they were all rejected one by one.

He finally called Zhang Yang again.

On the other end of the phone...

Zhang Yang was silent for a while, and then seemed to laugh on the phone.

"Boss Ge, this road has been difficult from the beginning..."

"We are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot..."

"Hahaha, don't worry, we still have the African market!"

There was laughter on the other end of the phone.

Ge Guoxing did not sound any frustration or anxiety, but was very optimistic.

After hearing this smile, Ge Guoxing couldn't help laughing.

“Yes, there is also the African market…”

window.

A light breeze is blowing.

Ge Guoxing nodded thoughtfully: "The flame will not go out..."

"Boss Ge!"

"you say……"

"What do you want to do after this battle is over?"

"I want to retire... I'm too tired, especially working with a bastard like you, Mr. Zhang. I'm so tired. I suspect that if I continue to fight with you, I won't live to be 60 and will die suddenly!"

"Hahaha, I'll help you play the suona!"

"What nonsense!"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Ge Guoxing took a deep breath, a little annoyed, but then a smile appeared on his face!
The last battle?

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

“Didn’t they bow their heads?”

"No, but I heard something..."

"what's up?"

"The Chinese technology group headed by Zhang Yang has gathered nearly 1000 billion RMB and seems to be doing something big..."

"Are they planning to use this 1000 billion to develop a breakthrough in photolithography? Haha!"

"..."

9 month 13 day.

[Qualcomm] In the conference room.

A group of people are sitting.

The crazy growth of Chinese smartphones is clearly a huge market...

Everyone is eyeing the fat meat in this market.

They talked about several systems in China...

When talking about [Xiaomi Technology], some people asked quietly, some didn't care, and some took out the parameters of the mobile phone brand that [Xiaomi Technology] cooperated with in 2016.

From 2014 to 2016, during this period of more than a year, except for the arrangement and other parameters, there was no optimization in the hardware of [Wheat Technology], and it was even several generations late.

When seeing this scene, all Qualcomm managers burst into laughter.

Especially when seeing Zhang Yang raising hundreds of billions of funds and rushing into the field of lithography machines, the laughter became even louder.

The technical fields involved in lithography machines are very broad, including optics, mechanics, electronics, computers and other fields.

Lithography machines require highly precise optical systems that can project chip patterns onto silicon wafers within a few nanometers.

At the same time, the lithography machine also requires a highly precise mechanical system and electronic control system to control the operation of the lithography machine and the transfer of chip patterns. These technologies are very difficult and require a long period of research and practice to master. Moreover, the lithography machine requires the use of some very expensive materials and equipment, such as high-precision optical components, high-precision mechanical parts, high-precision electronic components, etc., all of which are controlled by the Western camp...

more importantly……

Even if you have these things, it's of no use.

The manufacturing cycle of a lithography machine is very long. It usually takes several years to manufacture a lithography machine, which includes multiple stages such as design, manufacturing, and testing. Since the manufacturing of lithography machines is very difficult, a lot of research and development and improvements are required to meet market requirements...

And several years later!
Your so-called breakthroughs and research and development products have long been eliminated by the market!
you……

how to use?
Amidst the laughter...

Everyone was mocking this oriental man for overestimating his own capabilities...

But Terry never smiled from beginning to end.

Instead, with a somewhat cold expression on his face, he stood up in front of everyone's gaze, his voice filled with anger!
"Put away your so-called arrogance!" "We cannot underestimate any opponent!"

"Do you know what is happening to Huaxia Photovoltaic, which was once suppressed by us?"

"They are not dead!"

"On the contrary, they are doing very well. Not only that, they are even regrouping and entering our market in another way!"

"..."

The resounding voice echoed throughout the conference room.

Someone frowned...

Some people stared at Terry in silence.

And Terry, under everyone's gaze, walked step by step to the conference center, and at the president's signal, took a deep breath!

He slowly unfolded the current situation of China's photovoltaic industry and put it in front of everyone's eyes, and he took a breath!

In every pair of eyes, looking into the distance.

"We should not underestimate any Chinese!"

"because……"

"While we were high and mighty and complacent, they, without even realizing it, had already impacted our market!"

"There is an idiom in China..."

"It's called repairing the plank road in the open and marching through Chencang in secret!"

"..."

……

1979 years.

Amid the energy crisis and growing concerns about climate change…

The president of the United States made a historic move.

32 photovoltaic panels were installed on the roof of the White House.

He said something.

“PV will not pollute our air or water, we will not lack it. No one can ban the sun or interrupt its transmission to us. But we must work together to turn our visions and dreams into PV reality…”

"This is an exciting adventure!"

"..."

It was, in fact, an exciting adventure.

Under waves of calls, the European and American photovoltaic industry has repeatedly created miracles in the silicon wafer field, created all the systems in the middle and upper reaches of the entire market, and dominated the world's low-end manufacturing industry with sickles in the name of technology and finance.

This is an extremely harmonious picture!

They control the upstream, the midstream, and everything, leaving only cheap jobs to attract a steady stream of workers to feed their system.

But no one expected...

The protagonist of this exciting adventure gradually changed from the Americans to the Chinese...

Everyone knows that the financial crisis in 08 was a turning point in history...

They saw China’s breakthrough under the watchful eyes of the public!
They saw those wild and crazy people rushing into their markets and attacking their cities...

They also saw that their sickles were breaking into pieces and could no longer cut these low-level workers.

then……

They began to use the same methods they had used against Japan's semiconductor industry!
Suppress!

Sanctions!

blockade!

Do whatever it takes!

From 2012 to 2015, all Chinese brands seemed to have withdrawn from the entire European and American photovoltaic market at once.

During this period...

The photovoltaic industry in the European and American markets has also ushered in a brief period of rapid development!

The companies that were hit by China gradually recovered, but at the same time, these companies that were eager to gain profits in the short term did not do as everyone imagined...

Gradually resume manufacturing, and instead, turn your attention to other countries...

For example, Southeast Asia...

For example, South America...

For example, Africa...

……

From 2012 to 2016, in the four years, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power in Europe and the United States is gradually developing...

Forty years after the first grid-connected photovoltaic installation, the American photovoltaic industry reached an important milestone in 2016, with the number of photovoltaic installations exceeding 100 million!
Its significance is so great that even the president of the United States raised his hand excitedly...

however……

July 2016.

Some technical practitioners realized one thing.

That is……

Most of their photovoltaic panels are imported from Africa and Southeast Asia!
And African photovoltaic...

damn it!
It was exported from Zhang Yang!
……

"In recent years, they have left Europe and America and retreated to Africa!"

"But, over the years, their ambitions have never been curbed!"

"They changed their methods and no longer imported from mainland China. Instead, they changed their names and imported from Africa under their own brand names!"

"And our so-called photovoltaic companies have long been hollowed out by finance and capital. No one is willing to work diligently in the manufacturing industry!"

"In other words, our manufacturing industry has begun to decline!"

"Behind the seemingly prosperous scene, in reality, it's those damned guys from China who are secretly eating us!"

“Tariff stick!”

“It’s totally useless!”

"..."

Under everyone's gaze, Terry's eyes were bloodshot!
"Next, I propose that we completely and thoroughly lock these people into the field of science and technology! We absolutely cannot let them break through!"

"Any material!"

"Our cooperative allies are not allowed to provide any!"

"I'll tell the MPs they are destroying our market now!"

"We must use the means of great power games to strangle them!"

"..."
