Chapter 222 Mr. Yu surrendered to the enemy?
Gu Qing has known about tax and financial issues for a long time.
Companies generally have to pay five types of taxes, value-added tax, corporate income tax, personal income tax, stamp duty, and urban construction tax.
Most people only know about corporate income tax because this tax is relatively transparent and easy to calculate.
The amount of income tax payable by the enterprise = the taxable income for the current period * the applicable tax rate.
Usually, the general corporate income tax rate is 25%. However, Jiuzhou Technology Company is a high-tech enterprise and a quality enterprise with confidential capital. According to the corresponding preferential policies, the tax rate will be around 10%.
As for the taxes that should be paid, Jiuzhou Technology Company will naturally pay them on time and in full after the tax holiday.
But after having an in-depth understanding of Daxia’s preferential treatment and support for innovative technology companies, Boss Gu was filled with emotion.
Tax exemptions, tax reductions, subsidies, and relevant departments are even obliged to coordinate human resources to help enterprises, which are more generous than ordinary enterprises such as real estate.
As long as a company can make achievements in the high-tech field, then this company basically does not have to worry about any negative impact on it in the country.
For example, the relatively large private media in China will not report negative news about Jiuzhou Technology from time to time. They have a lot of money behind them and dare not report it.
Even if there is a lot of news material, you must first verify it and talk to people from the relevant departments before you dare to report it.
This is why this year’s Black Jiuzhou Technology is basically self-media and some unpopular newspaper media.
The big ones are not short of this traffic, but the second and third rate do not dare to take this traffic for the sake of their own lives.
Boss Gu feels comfortable, but some bosses feel uncomfortable.
[Boundary Monument] has taken off with Jiuzhou Technology, and has also helped some manufacturers take their business to a higher level.
As Jiuzhou Technology produces more and more products, stakeholder companies are paying more and more attention to Jiuzhou Technology.
Among them, the Rice Group, which is "motivated but has a weak system, yet has already gone public", is one of the best.
Lei Jun is a person with pursuits and a technical background, but he is a little confused.
As an industry insider, he clearly understands that chips are a cyclical, high-precision industry, but the products of Jiuzhou Technology Company do not seem to apply the principle of cyclicality.
For example, the chips required for smart home robots and bionic mechanical prostheses also require a long cycle from design to tape-out.
Since being listed on the list last year, the world has actually begun to experience a wave of core shortage. After all, Daxia is already an indispensable part of the world economy and semiconductor production and manufacturing.
Where do Jiuzhou Technology’s chips come from?
With the explosion of products today, sales restrictions are already a certainty. As for the control chip for the 8K display and the AI chip for the smart housekeeper, where can Jiuzhou Technology find the chip supply?
As for the press conference, Lei Jun believed what Gu Qing said about Xiaxin Technology being the supplier.
But Xiaxin Technology is just a chip foundry.
Where can I get the display panels and raw materials? Where is the chip architecture designed?
Xiaxin Technology has just replaced some domestic photolithography machines. It stands to reason that it will take about a year to mass-produce chips.
This really puzzled him.
While he was thinking about this, Gu Qing was also giving "lessons" to the executives.
The different division of labor among corporate executives often leads to some very funny things.
For example, a technical executive would say that this thing is impossible, but an administrative person who is born in administration and only knows the industry based on information will say: "It's not impossible, it's just that you don't pay attention."
In the view of some administrative personnel, as long as the investment is sufficient, there should be considerable or guaranteed output.
Jiuzhou Technology Company now has tens of thousands of employees, but not many senior executives, so it is relatively simple to call everyone for a "class" meeting.
“Today’s new products were sold out in seconds. This achievement is the credit of all departments.
Everyone knows our company's rules. If everything goes well, this year's year-end bonus will be more generous.
Although according to the traditional concept, one should not throw cold water on a big day, I still want to emphasize some things.
Enterprises cannot live without a sense of crisis.
While pointing a gun at the enemy, you should also have a gun pointed at yourself.
We are very happy about the hot sales of our products.
But we need to see the supply chain of the product and its related industries.
The upsurge of domestic substitution and self-sufficiency is sweeping across the entire Daxia semiconductor industry. Among the many semiconductor players around the world, from TSMC, Korean Star, and Intel with advanced process capabilities, to GlobalFoundries, UMC, and China with mature processes Core International is expanding its production capacity.
But they all need a long time to see results.
Without our technical support, it would be a time-consuming and labor-intensive project for foreign manufacturers to build a new wafer fab. Being able to complete the construction of a mature process plant, the debugging of the production line and the staffing of professionals in two years is considered to be extremely fast and advanced. The manufacturing process takes longer.
So the cross-ocean exports of our domestic wafer manufacturing companies will definitely take off in the next two years.
Chip foundry companies such as Xiaxin Technology are bound to adopt greater profit harvesting methods because of this unbalanced supply and demand market - an overall increase in foundry chip manufacturing costs.
Although we are an important supplier of these components for domestic lithography machine light source equipment, and although our relationship with Xiaxin Technology is very good, our demand for chips cannot be changed.
There is also the upgrade and expansion of servers in Jiulong in the cloud, which also requires a large number of high-end chips.
There is an imbalance between chip supply and demand, what should we do?
This problem is the homework for this meeting. Whether it is administrative management or technical management, the solution must be written out before the last day of the month and sent to the president's office.
It’s still the old rule, you can search for information and solve it by yourself, you can also discuss it in a group, but you are not allowed to find someone to write for you. ”
Boss Gu didn’t say what the violator was, but everyone in the conference room knew it.
The big boss has always been a “small-bellied” person, and his previous management was easy to deal with. , he was fired the next day.
......
I wonder if he awakened some strange attribute.
Gu Qing looked at these young, middle-aged managers who came in high spirits, frowned, and felt a little "old-hearted gratification" in his heart.
The instigator took the initiative to cool down, but others were unable to do so.
There are no eternal friends in the business war, only eternal interests.
Dami's Lei Jun was thinking, but Xia Wei's senior officials had already started remote meetings. Due to the company's confidence in communication technology and the fact that many senior executives work in various departments, many high-level meetings in Xiawei are held remotely.
Lei Jun was sitting in the small conference room of Xia Wei's Rongcheng branch.
The lights are bright here, and all the small executives and people in charge of the branch are sitting aside with solemn faces.
On the conference room screen, the same goes for executives from overseas branches and other domestic branches.
The most conspicuous among them is naturally Mr. Ren.
His expression at the moment was solemn.
"Vice President Yu participated in Jiuzhou Technology's new product launch this time, please tell me first."
The boss named him, and the others naturally felt a little more relaxed.
When Yu Chengdong heard this, he did not smile bitterly, nor did he have the same pride as before. He frowned and nodded, and then said: "I was invited to participate in their new product launch this time. The press conference is based solely on my personal opinions and professional perspectives
These new products. The products are all great, or miraculous. It is almost impossible for a young company that has been established for a few years to produce results.
If they can maintain this kind of R&D efficiency and ensure sufficient supply in the supply chain, Our Xia Wei’s biggest enemy in the future may be Jiuzhou Technology Company.”
Boss Gu, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly sneezed.
When Mr. Ren heard what Yu Chengdong said, he nodded slightly, and then asked: "Why did you come to this conclusion?"
Yu Chengdong was straightforward.
“Technological innovation is the lifeblood of all enterprises.
In 2018, our company invested more than 90 billion yuan in R&D, and the number of people engaged in R&D in the company has reached the total number of employees 45% of personnel.
Other friendly companies, such as Rice, have invested only 5.9 billion yuan in R&D.
Continuous high investment in R&D funds has allowed our company to continue to make breakthroughs in technology. 5G has become The leader, so far, has signed 40 5G commercial contracts and sold 70,000 5G base stations. By the next year or so, the number of 5G base stations will double.
In the field of mobile phones, we have mastered 3D structured light, wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, and Kirin 980, one of the most powerful processors in Android. Kirin 985 will also be mass-produced in the third quarter of this year, which is great.
But these are technologies that we have invested heavily in for ten years. How long did it take Jiuzhou Technology Company?
With all due respect, we at Xiawei cannot entrust other companies to mass supply and produce the 8K display screen that I experienced at their press conference.
There is also the Smart Butler, whose internal AI chip and smart program are definitely ahead of ours. Especially when I personally experienced it, the feedback I got was even more shocking.
The sensor collects complex data, and the AI chip inside the smart housekeeper and the computing logic of the smart program provide a plan instantly without any delay, and then the corresponding motor responds.
I can come to the conclusion that Jiuzhou Technology Company’s AI chips, intelligent program architecture and computing logic are already ahead of us, at least a big step.
If they continue to develop at this rate, Jiuzhou Technology Company will sooner or later become a strong enemy of our company in the future. ”
As soon as Yu Chengdong said these words, every window in the remote conference became restless.
If this were a group meeting of senior executives in reality, it would be an uproar.
Xia Wei’s self-developed chips are produced by HiSilicon Semiconductor, the most famous of which is the HiSilicon Kirin series.
Kirin chips are also what give Xia Weigan the confidence to compete with Korean stars and Pingguo in the global market.
The current Kirin 980 processor is the world’s first 7nm processor. The highest main frequency is 2.6Ghz, fully upgraded CPU, GPU, new dual-core NPU, and GPU Turbo blessing, which can be said to make Xia Wei’s Mate20 shine in the world.
Along the way, HiSilicon semiconductor chips have gone from being criticized to being at the forefront of the industry. They are like legends within Xiawei Company.
But today, someone actually said that HiSilicon Qilin is lagging behind? !
As the president of HiSilicon, Mr. He is naturally unhappy.
But he is unhappy because he is the boss and he cannot end it personally.
At this moment, Mr. Xu from HiSilicon spoke up: "The smart housekeeper of Jiuzhou Technology Company is manufactured by Pudong Microelectronics' 28nm lithography machine. Even with multiple exposures, it is only a process of about 10nm.< br>
Our current Kirin 980 uses TSMC's first-generation 7nm process. Compared with the previous generation Kirin 970 based on 10nm, its performance is at least 20% higher and its power consumption is reduced by 40%
The artificial intelligence NPU equipped with Cambrian 1M is also Xiawei's second-generation artificial intelligence chip, which is better at processing multimedia data such as videos and images.
How do you conclude that Jiuzhou Technology Company’s AI chips, intelligent program architecture and computing logic are already a big step ahead of us? ”
Mr. Xu spoke clearly and clearly, and the example he gave was last year’s 980 chip. Everyone here knows that the new Kirin chip that will be released in the summer in a few months will definitely be better than the current Kirin 980. want Much stronger.
Yu Chengdong was not put off by the question. He shook his head and said: "Our chips benefit from the advanced technology of OEM production, but the most important soul of the chip is its intelligence. Not so.
The models and technical projects of the chips used by Jiuzhou Technology Company have never been announced, but we can start from the product perspective.
We can also achieve the interconnected smart life shown by the smart butler robot at the press conference. This is nothing more than data communication and big data processing technology.
But we are unable to meet the meticulous requirements.
For example, this smart housekeeper’s intelligent program interacts with people and has learning capabilities.
When I receive its service, the smart butler will respond extremely sensitively to every sound I make and every reaction of my body.
And at the same time, it can communicate with me simultaneously and without any stiffness, even if I switch from Mandarin to English.
This not only requires the support of a large language database, but also requires smart programs to respond intelligently and quickly enough. "
Yu Chengdong took a sip of water when he said this, and then said: "I am the CEO of Xiawei's consumer business, and my understanding of professional projects is definitely not as deep as the comrades in this project.
I only know that we have many products under development that can be called black technology.
But what users can come into contact with is something that they can actually experience.
Just like the mobile phones of Pingguo and Hanxing, the signal is not as good as ours, and the photos taken by our mobile phones are not as good as the color adjustment of Pingguo. These are things that can be obviously experienced.
They won't listen to how much high technology we use, they will only start from actual experience.
As for me, I am starting from actual experience and expounding my personal views.
If you have any dissatisfaction or questions, you can express your opinion after actually experiencing this smart butler. ”
After Yu Chengdong finished speaking, he picked up the folder at hand and started browsing the information.
Of course he also knew that what he said was a bit inappropriate, but so what?
< br>
Again, consumers won’t get used to products they don’t like to use.
