Chapter 628 Hong Kong chip industry
The core of building a century-old foundation is not to control how many profitable companies are, but to a stable enterprise;
Even from the perspective of entrepreneurs, Even today's automobile industry may be subverted by new energy trams in the future, various high-tech industries may be subverted by new technology companies, and even the energy industry may be gradually replaced by new energy models such as solar energy and nuclear energy. This process may be very slow;
Relatively speaking, food, clothing, housing, transportation, water, electricity, similar to ancient vegetables, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, is a real urgent need. Even if some of them are replaced by other similar ones, then It is also a competition among similar categories, and the stability is still extremely high.
So Yang Wendong invested in "eating" and a small part of "wearing, living, and traveling" very early, while "water, electricity and gas" were not involved. This may require waiting for the right time, after all, he still When you are young, you can still expand the scale of your company while preparing for the future "seeking stability".
Of course, nothing is absolute. If controlled nuclear fusion occurs in the next hundred years, food can be produced unlimitedly in factories through electricity and carbon dioxide, and even various hydrocarbons (petroleum derivatives) can be produced in this way. Then human society will enter the third The four industrial revolutions will inevitably destroy all the infrastructure that have been built before, and they cannot be dealt with, because this exceeds the cognition of Yang Wendong, a time traveler, and even exceeds everyone's cognition.
As long as you understand, just do everything well, at least no matter how technology changes, nuclear fusion is coming out, ports and basic wire facilities are still needed.
It was soon 1972;
On January 3, Yang Wendong came to the door of the office and saw Wang Zhiqun and two senior executives of Honor Electronics waiting at the door;
< br>"Yang Sheng." Wang Zhiqun hurriedly greeted.
Yang Wendong nodded to the three of them, then said to Wang Zhiqun: "What's the matter with me so early?"
Wang Zhiqun replied: "It's Intel's side to build a chip factory in Hong Kong." "Then go in and say." Yang Wendong said immediately after pointing in the direction of the office.
The current global chip market is still very small. Not to mention that compared with many electronic giants in the United States, even Honor Electronics will not be of great value, but this is just from the perspective of value;
The core of the future electronics industry is chips, which will grow exponentially in the future, and global demand may surge;
Although it is unlikely that this will continue to develop in Hong Kong for decades, it is still possible for the first decade, and there may be variables in the future. As long as the basics are made, there is a possibility of success. Once again, it is done specifically. Even if the profit margin is not as good as that of computers and mobile phones, it will at least be a good industry, which is enough for Hong Kong's millions of people.
After several people entered the office, the assistant poured tea for everyone and went out. Wang Zhiqun said: "Yang Sheng, Intel's technician, has evaluated various industrial and educational environments in Hong Kong. They said that Hong Kong Not suitable for producing 4004 chips."
"Is there anything missing?" Yang Wendong asked naturally and calmly: "At that time in 1963, Fairchild Semiconductor also came to Hong Kong to make transistors, and the scale is still very large , and some electronic companies in the United States and Japan have also come. Aren’t they doing well? ”
In the 1960s, the Hong Kong electronics industry had actually developed. Without Honor Electronics, the same is true for Yang Wendong. Many Global electronic giants came to Hong Kong to invest. At that time, Yang Wendong just took advantage of the situation to establish Honor, and then used the investment of overseas electronic companies to develop his own brands and various products.
Wang Zhiqun replied: "Yang Sheng, Fairchild Semiconductor is still different. Although Fairchild claims to have produced hundreds of millions of transistors in Hong Kong, it is actually mainly used for packaging and testing, rather than production from beginning to end ;
Intel people also had similar opinions. After their evaluation, they believed that sending the US 4004 chip to Hong Kong for packaging and testing is a very good idea, rather than production from beginning to end in Hong Kong. "
"Is he trying to make Hong Kong a part of the chip production? "Yang Wendong said with a smile.
In chip production, many involve high-tech technologies, but some also require a lot of manpower to cooperate. Packaging and testing is the most obvious one, which belongs to an intensive human resources industry. Of course, it is still It is not as good as clothing, clothing, etc. Therefore, even after a few decades, many chip factories will still place packaging and testing in places with low labor costs, which is also a necessary process for modern industrial society to save costs.
< Wang Zhiqun said: "Yes, Intel people believe that this will reduce costs and make full use of the low-cost advantages of American talents and Hong Kong. ”
"You tell them that they want to conduct a sealed test in Hong Kong, and I am very welcome. I can do it whether it is manpower or factory location." Yang Wendong said: "But I also need to build a full-process chip production process factory in Hong Kong. From the initial crystal to the later circuit boards, I need to produce them all in Hong Kong;
Unless there are really some things that cannot be produced in Hong Kong and can only be imported from Europe and the United States, then negotiate, but at least most of them are there. The process must be in Hong Kong. In the future, many products here will be required. "
The development speed of arcades in the future will exceed everyone's imagination. The motherboard on an arcade may require dozens of chips, and even more will be needed after the functions are enhanced in the future;
Similarly, the demand for a single home game console may be smaller, but this number will be greater, and the demand for chips will be higher;
More importantly, in the future, various household appliances will It will also gradually become chipped, such as the most basic color TV remote control, which requires chips.
Wang Zhiqun said: "Yang Sheng, I also said this to Intel. They reported that if we want to do this, we will need to invest millions of dollars to form the front and back industrial chain;
And these front and back industries The chain also requires some professional talents, and many people don’t even understand Intel, because even in the United States, Intel’s factories are just one of the chip industry. “
”It doesn’t matter if you spend money, let Intel cooperate. , I want to build an industrial chain in Hong Kong. "Yang Wendong said firmly: 'Actually, if it weren't for Hong Kong, I wouldn't have to make such a struggle, but as long as I have it, it will be convenient in the future. '
If he started a business in the electronics industry in the current United States and Japan, he would never have troubled such a long industrial chain. It is even likely that he would not have built a factory in his previous life. Just outsource all to professionals, this is the industrial development model of modern society;
But that doesn't work in Hong Kong, and the industrial chains need to be imported. If this is the case, don't bother and make peace of mind. Houses are more convenient and you may earn more;
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The most suitable example is Samsung in South Korea. Samsung entered the electronics industry in the early days, and there were very few people in South Korea who could match its needs. As a last resort, they had to do everything themselves and desperately defect to the United States to obtain technology and Funding support, and then poaching engineers from Japan, it took decades to become the world's largest battery factory; or BYD, the mainland in his previous life, was preparing to build electric vehicles as early as a few years ago, but there was no supporting facilities. The industry can only be done by itself, and eventually became the world's largest new energy vehicle brand;
Everything is forced, but if there are powerful suppliers next to him, he is lazy to do so. However, it is precisely because of the early tossing and the industrial chain is gradually produced in the later stage, and the cost is reduced sharply, which may lead to the final victory.
Wang Zhiqun agreed and said, "Okay, then I'll negotiate with Intel and other American equipment companies."
"Well, settle this matter as soon as possible, and don't worry about the funds." Yang Wendong said again.
The arcade market that explodes immediately may have a profit of tens of millions of dollars a year. Compared with this, chips in this era are nothing.
