Chapter 59 Cow Shit Chip
“Giant Group will invest 500 million yuan to officially enter the health care products industry!”
“Giant’s boss Shi declared that health care products will be one of Giant’s most important industries. First, Giant Group will complete its listing next year! "
"Foreign brand computers are coming fiercely, and the market share of domestic computer brands has dropped to 22%!"
"Many domestic computer brands, Announcing cooperation with overseas brands, Great Wall is the agent for IBM computers, Founder is the agent for DEC computers, Sitong is the agent for Compaq, and many computer brands such as Dell, HP, and Apple have announced that they have reached agency agreements with domestic dealers. ”
In a company in Yanjing that develops color printing, Wang Jizhi looked at the newspaper in his hand and flipped through several copies in succession. They were almost the same. Many domestic technology companies, facing the menacing foreign companies, either avoided fighting and transformed into In other fields, you can either choose to join if you can't beat it, and no longer make self-branded computers, but act as agents for those foreign brand computers.
This is not only the computer industry, but also other industries. As long as foreign brands enter any industry, domestic brands in any industry will be immediately beaten and abandoned, and even directly give up the market.
For example, Nokia and Siemens have seized the domestic communications industry, killing many domestic communications brands. Only Chrysanthemum Factory still insists on independent research and development of communications equipment. The rest of the domestic communications giants were well-known in the past. At this time They all acted very crotch-stretching.
There are also aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles, cameras, TV giants such as Boeing, Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, Sony, and Kodak entering the country, which has also caused a dimensionality reduction blow.
Procter & Gamble, Whirlpool, SC Johnson, etc. entered the country and used various means to defeat or hide the old domestic products Snowflake, Narcissus, and Maxam, and quickly occupied the market.
As for the soda beverage industry, the performance is even more obvious. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have cleared a number of well-established domestic beverages such as Tianfu Cola, Arctic Ocean, Asia Soda, Bawangsi Soda, and Laoshan Coke. There are almost no domestic soda drinks on the market. .
Since last year, foreign brands have begun to attack the domestic market, and this year it has become even more obvious. However, whether it is electronics, home appliances, automobiles, beverages, food and other industries, domestic brands dare to resist in the face of fierce foreign brands. There are very few companies.
In this case, it’s no wonder that Tanglin High-tech caused such a big sensation after defeating Silver Sable Mouse in America. Other brands were running away, and only Donglin High-tech held the title of Silver Sable. The sword is still blocked there, and today it has invested so much money in research and development. It naturally appears to be unique in the domestic technology industry.
After reading several newspapers, Wang Jizhi couldn't help but sigh. He is one of the highest-ranking figures in the domestic technology industry. He was once the chief engineer of Stone Group. He was the one who developed the 2401 printer independently developed by Stone Group. The product developed by the leader has become a cash cow for Stone Group. It is also quite advanced among similar Japanese benzene products.
Wang Jizhi also introduced a technical expert named Qiu Bojun to Sitong Group. Later he joined a company called Jinshan. In the future, Qiu Bojun will become the boss of someone who shouts "areyouok". Just like the academic circle, the technology industry also has inheritance and circles!
However, before Stone Group went public, Wang Jizhi had a falling out with the management over issues such as salary and R&D funding. He had a strong personality and could not bear to see the sand in his eyes. He looked down on those who formed cliques and gave gifts to build relationships. In the end, It ended with resignation, and Sitong didn't get any shares.
Looking at the news in the newspaper, Wang Jizhi shook his head. He felt that these domestic technology companies were not as good as when he faced the Japan Benzene Company. At that time, he dared to lead people to develop printers to fight against Japan. Benzene, although Sitong did not support his research and development, and the research and development funds given to him were less than 0.3% of revenue, he still did it.
But now those companies don't even dare to fight, they just run away, which makes him shake his head.
Just as he was about to put down the newspaper, a piece of news from the Yanjing Daily that was reprinted to the "Hanxi Provincial Daily" attracted his attention.
“Donngling Hi-Tech invested 15 million to establish a joint laboratory with Hanxi Jiaotong University, and will spend 5% of its profits on research and development every year in the future...”
When he saw these words, Wang Jizhi couldn't help but perked up. He had heard the name of Tanglin High-tech and knew that it had a lawsuit with Microsoft, but he didn't pay attention to it at that time. But this time, he saw that Tanglin High-tech had invested so much in it. Research and development made him completely remember Dongling Hi-Tech.
You know, there are so many technology companies in the country that make much more money than Dongling Hi-tech. It is the first time that Wang Jizhi is willing to make such a big splash and invest so much money in research and development.
Watching the news in the newspaper, Wang Jizhi was a little itchy and helpless. He is now jointly opening a company with others, but after coming out of Stone Group, Wang Jizhi felt that he was suitable for R&D. Not suitable for management.
Established several companies in succession, or cooperated with other people, and there were two or three companies, but in the end they all broke up. Compared with when he was at Sitong, Wang Jizhi's career was almost a roller coaster. Up, then down...
Looking at the news in the newspaper, Wang Jizhi really felt that if the joint laboratory of Tangling High-Tech could develop printers, he would really be willing to close the current company and go to another company. He wanted to go, but he didn't know what business Dongling Hi-Tech was doing now. What would happen if he went there rashly? Wang Jizhi was not sure either, which made him a little hesitant.
Not only Wang Jizhi saw this news, but also in the office of the chief engineer of another computer brand company in Yanjing, a thin man in his fifties who was selected as the first batch of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering saw The news about the establishment of a joint laboratory by Tanglin Hi-Tech also made me couldn't help but slap the table.
In the current domestic technology industry, Academician Ni couldn't help but be a little envious that Tanglin Hi-Tech dared to invest so much money in research and development.
Thinking back to my current situation, I couldn't help but sigh. Now, within the company, there is a conflict over whether to develop chips or not, and they are divided into two groups. However, most senior executives are leaning towards it. He had no choice but to support the other side.
With the previous popularity, the news of Tanglin High-tech’s establishment of a joint laboratory was quickly reported and reprinted by various media.
But there is actually a lot of discussion in both the technology industry and the outside world about Donglin Hi-tech spending so much money to build laboratories and engage in research and development.
Some people say that Tanglin Hi-tech is just trying to gain fame and reputation. Now other technology companies are buying overseas technology or buying parts and components for assembly. Donglin Hi-tech is independent. It spends so much money on research and development, and the technology it develops is not as good as before. It must be comparable to foreign countries. What are you trying to do? Isn’t this just trying to gain fame? ! "I think the domestic technology industry should not operate behind closed doors, but should open its eyes to see the world. The whole world is a whole, and each place is given a different division of labor. Under this system, everyone can make money.
I have also heard that some companies want to engage in independent research and development, but I want to say that independent research and development is not suitable for the current domestic market. The most important thing now is to survive. Instead of doing those weird research and development!
Why should we spend ten, fifty, or even more money to develop something that costs only one dollar? It doesn’t make sense!”
In an interview with the media, Wang Tianan, the boss of Tiancheng Trading Company, the largest electronic trade import and export company, responded with quite a disdain for the establishment of a joint laboratory by Dongling Hi-Tech. .
I think that Donglin Hi-Tech has gained some fame and started to float around. It's just a fool's errand. Wouldn't it be nice to use the money as dividends to buy a car, buy a house, or invest in stocks, real estate, or speculate in futures? Instead of throwing money into a bottomless pit of research and development. There wasn't even a hair left inside.
Wang Tianan’s trading company is mainly an import agent for computers and other electronic components. That is, it imports overseas computer components into the country and sells them to other computer manufacturers and dealers. It has earned a lot of money over the years. Bowls full.
But the appearance of the silver sable mouse made Wang Tianan feel very uncomfortable. Since the silver sable mouse was introduced, the mice he imported from overseas, including Logitech, were piled in the warehouse and could not be sold.
Wang Tianan doesn’t care about the small amount of money he will lose, but what he is worried about is that if domestic technology companies really develop their own products, then who will he sell the parts he bought from abroad? Isn't it just nonsense? He deeply hates Dongling Hi-Tech's establishment of a joint laboratory and wants to severely criticize it. He wishes he could dismantle the joint laboratory!
While the media was still arguing about whether it was necessary for Donglin Hi-tech to establish a joint laboratory, Li Dongling came to the door of the joint laboratory listed.
Dongling Hi-Tech bought a piece of land not far away from Hanxi Jiaotong University for the construction of a joint laboratory of the R&D center. However, it took time to complete the laboratory, so the joint laboratory temporarily borrowed the three-story building of Hanxi Jiaotong University. The first floor is used as a laboratory.
Entering the site of the joint laboratory and pushing the door open, Li Dongling saw Han Qianyi and Liu Youguo directing a group of teachers and students who were busy cleaning the room and moving experimental equipment.
In the early stage of the joint laboratory, Dongling Hi-Tech paid for it and Hanxi Jiaotong University sent people to jointly develop products and experiments.
“This is the first project entrusted by Tanglin Hi-Tech to the joint laboratory. I hope it can be developed as soon as possible. Tanglin Hi-Tech is going to launch new products, which is also related to how much the joint laboratory can get next year. Funds!”
Arriving at an office, Li Dongling handed Han Qianyi the design of the electronic pet machine he had made overnight.
Liu Youguo came up and saw the motherboard chip design drawing with Han Qianyi. Both of them had expressions of disgust on their faces, "Cow shit chip?!"
The structure of the electronic pet machine is very simple, basically just a few There are all kinds of things, such as plastic shell, screen, buttons, internal motherboard, and button battery. The only technical difficulty is the core motherboard and chip of the entire electronic pet machine.
The motherboard and chip that Li Dongling plans to use for the electronic pet machine are cow dung chips. The biggest feature of this kind of chip is that it is... cheap!
That kind of motherboard with a black lump in the middle is basically a bonding chip, or a cow shit chip. This kind of chip is not beautiful at all, and the industrial design is beautiful. It does not exist at all, mainly because it has a short research and development cycle, low technical requirements, low manufacturing process, and low cost. It can be found in electronic watches, calculators, electronic toys, etc.
"This chip will be used in a new product of Donglin Hi-tech. I hope the joint laboratory can develop it as soon as possible." Li Dongling said to Han Qianyi and Liu Youguo.
"One month!"
Liu Youguo thought for a moment, "At most one month, I will bring people to get it out, but the funds must be enough!"
"I can do it too. Let other technical personnel in the hospital and the school help with research and development!”
Han Qianyi also said that this is the first time for the two parties to cooperate, and it also depends on whether the joint laboratory can continue in the future, and he has no choice but to do so! Take it with caution. These days, it is really rare for big companies like Donglin Hi-Tech to spend money on research and development.
“If the research and development can be successful and the new product generates good profits, Dongling Hi-Tech will also issue bonuses to the personnel involved in the research and development of Hanxi Jiaotong University, and will also provide a donation to Hanxi Jiaotong University!”
Li Dongling wants Hanxi Jiaotong University to join Dongling Hi-Tech's chariot through the joint laboratory, and let Hanxi Jiaotong University know that as long as it helps Dongling Hi-tech develop good things, Hanxi Jiaotong University and its R&D personnel can also get rich rewards. , in this way a community of interests can be formed.
No matter how much you talk, there is no real money. As long as you see that the people who develop products for Dongling High-tech and participate in the research and development can get bonuses, and Hanxi Jiaotong University can get donations, then Li Dongling doesn't need to waste any words, they will work hard to help Dongling Hi-Tech in research and development. Who would have trouble with "their" money? !
Donngling Hi-Tech Electronics Industrial Park, with multiple construction teams working day and night, the prototype of the simple factory building in the industrial park has begun to appear, and it is expected that it will be put into use in a short time. .
On the other side, various production equipment and production lines are constantly being brought to the industrial park, and they are preparing to start installing production lines and other equipment after the simple factory building is completed.
On the right hand side of entering the Tanglin Hi-Tech Industrial Park, there is a sign with three characters "Recruitment Office" erected, and many people are queuing up.
Song Yajun, an old scalper from the technical department of Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1, peered inside, hesitant to go in.
