Chapter 251 Wolf Ambition
Armitage shook his head. Even the United States could not restrict it and eliminate it.
As the world's number one superpower, they also need to convince people with reason.
After all, they set the rules by which the world operates.
Armitage said: "I need to know the real situation, Congress is not a wet market!"
The United States needs to explain the laws passed by Congress to the world.
Joe Sheldon said: "At least three years!"
The commercialization of Intel's 500-nanometer process should be very fast, but if you want to achieve the same performance as Zhongxun, you still need to solve the copper wire technology. This is not that simple. The key is that the R&D department still has no ideas. It has been said that it has been three years. This is the best case scenario, and that requires luck.
"Three years!" Armitage said: "A few years ago, you still said that we were at least ten years ahead. Now they are three years ahead of us. God, how did they steal our future technology!"
…
Armitage's words left everyone speechless.
Rodrigo Pinon, President of Texas Instruments Business, said: "This is not the point, Mr. Armitage. Semiconductors have already caused us heavy losses. Just yesterday on Wall Street, the market value of technology stocks evaporated by about three billion U.S. dollars. The cumulative It has fallen by more than 70 billion US dollars. If Congress does not introduce new policies, the semiconductor industry in the United States will be finished!"
Armitage narrowed his eyes slightly. Semiconductors have unlimited potential. The United States made the semiconductor industry a key support direction in the future as early as five years ago.
Cumulative subsidies exceed 10 billion US dollars.
"Implementing a ban directly is undoubtedly the stupidest thing!"
Even for restricting semiconductors, they found practical reasons. In fact, Congress found sufficient evidence that the government used real money to subsidize their semiconductor industry. They could not escape the charge of dumping, so they forced them to open the door. own market.
As for this part, does Leillian Heyman think it can be completely copied?
"It also subsidizes their semiconductor industry. They coordinate financial guarantees and invest in the research and development of advanced technologies."
Armitage said: "Is there any evidence?"
…
Giovanni Bonini said: "We don't need evidence. Without subsidies, they can't do anything. No one company can support such multi-faceted research!"
"Think about it, this Zhongxun has advanced manufacturing processes and WCDMA communication technology. Although ARM is from the UK, Zhongxun engineers account for half of it. Linux was also launched by them, and VIA is also Zhongxun's technology. These Just take out any technology and it will cost tens or tens of billions of dollars to develop. How could they..."
Giovanni's words were recognized by everyone. Intel has invested more than 700 million US dollars in 500 nanometers, and Microsoft has invested more than 300 million US dollars in its Windows operating system.
The development of the processor from 8088 to 486 has cost no less than tens of billions of dollars. As for the communications giant Motorola, it has spent billions of dollars on 2G mobile phones and has studied a loneliness.
Without CITIC's technology, Motorola would have completely bid farewell to the 2G era.
What every software and hardware manufacturer here feels most deeply is that they are all uneasy when faced with the evaluation of new research and development projects, because the investment of 10 billion US dollars, at least 9.5 billion US dollars, will be wasted. This is The price of exploration.
They feel that Zhongxun is scary because this company seems to be on the right technical direction every time, and they are unusually sensitive to the future.
And their president, Zhao Guoqing, naturally made Americans very interested.
"We don't have detailed information about Zhao Guoqing, but what is certain is that this person has a lot to do with light-emitting semiconductors. Wilmer Crisanto, president of Philips Asia, can prove that Zhao Guoqing was once the boss of the 101 Institute. Director, assistant to the director of Institute 14, this Institute 101 is the core chip manufacturing factory and the parent company of Xintu EDA Software Company!"
"By the way, the photoelectric modules and routers are all controlled by Institute 101..."
Until Mr. Buffon said: "This 14th Institute is a research unit under Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, a military industrial enterprise... We have enough reasons to believe that this Zhao Guoqing is the spokesperson of the military. His 102nd Institute, SinoCom, In fact, it is China’s military-industrial enterprise!”
But can’t military industrial enterprises participate in international competition? Of course not, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and even Grumman have civilian projects!
But Armitage could hear the smell as he listened, and he quickly sketched out his thoughts: "China Communications is a monster supported and subsidized by the military. They use dumping to destroy American semiconductors for the sake of the military. Dominating the world is a security risk to the whole world..."
…
December 24, 1992, Christmas Eve.
A month has passed, and Zhao Guoqing is in the office, reading mainstream Western newspapers and periodicals!
These newspapers and periodicals were faxed to Hong Kong Island by offices in various countries and then transferred there. It only took five minutes from the time they were issued to the time they were placed on Zhao Guoqing's desk.
The content of TV media is also recorded and forwarded by dedicated personnel.
"The wind is blowing in the wrong direction!"
Zhao Guoqing saw Wall Street Journal columnist Wilfrid Surrey's slander against China Communications.
His title is: "If you look at semiconductors surpassing the United States"
The whole page of the article lists many falsified facts, and even uses reports on leading chip manufacturing processes a few years ago as evidence. The cooperation between 102 Research Institute and ASML is considered to be theft of technology...
Technology theft, huge subsidies, military-industrial enterprises, threats to the democratic world, several subtitles are boldly marked with red ink...
Teacher Xiao Zhao read through various newspapers, BBC, Reuters, CNN... all have similar arguments...
Zhao Guoqing said to Fred: "Can we refute it?"
Fred shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mr. Zhao, corporate public relations are very important, but we have no place to make a voice."
The mainstream media are all controlled by the West, and the media controlled by China Communications, even in the Times, which is controlled by the West, they do not allow China Communications to make a voice.
That day, Teacher Xiao Zhao received a call from Director Pang.
