Chapter 329: It is obvious that someone is deliberately leading the rhythm
If it is a company that has cooperative relations with the West, then it would be fine.
But if it is a company that has no cooperative relationship with the West, they have no way to deal with it.
"Do all the companies cooperating with Fulong Technology have no interest in us?"
"Yes, sir. We have investigated. Their technology is either developed by their own company or uses their own technology. They did not even use the lithography machine sold by ASML to Huaxin International. Instead, they used the 28nm lithography machine independently developed by Modu Optoelectronics to process chips."
The 28nm lithography machine developed by Modou Optoelectronics can not only be used to produce 28nm chips, but also 14nm and even 10nm chips.
Of course, the higher the precision in chip production, the lower the chip yield rate will be.
In order to ensure the yield rate of the chip, Fulun Technology did not take the risk of excessively pursuing the chip manufacturing process and finally chose the 14nm process.
If the yield rate is particularly low when producing 10nm chips, the cost of chip manufacturing will be very high, which may lead to losses for the company.
"If this continues... our advantage in chips may be gone."
Speaking of which, the rise of several major Chinese mobile phone manufacturers has never put such great pressure on them.
After all, many relevant technologies come from the West.
They can cut off these technology sources at any time if they wish.
Even such an action would result in a lose-lose situation for both parties.
But obviously, the loss of chip supply would have an absolutely devastating impact on these mobile phone manufacturers.
This time, Fulun Technology did not use any Western technology.
Even though some technologies are relatively backward, this is definitely a very dangerous signal.
"So, we will release some information to the outside world. Due to cost and other reasons, we will increase the export price of chips next."
"But, sir, wouldn't this encourage them to develop these technologies themselves?"
"Since they have made up their minds to develop these technologies, no matter what we do, we will not change their minds. Don't worry, in addition to these, we also need to create some public opinion to make their people believe that these are all caused by Fulong Technology. The prices of other Chinese mobile phones will definitely increase accordingly. In this way, contradictions will arise..."
Listening to the white-haired old man's words, the man next to him nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, sir, I'll arrange these tasks right away."
…
As Loongson 001 began mass production.
Fulon Technology is also carrying out further optimization work on this chip.
The performance of a chip in a mobile phone is not necessarily determined by the chip's various data.
It is also related to factors such as the compatibility of the chip and the mobile phone.
On this day, Xu You saw the news that the US was going to raise the export price of chips due to rising chip costs and other reasons.
After hearing the news, Xu You was still in a good mood.
This means that the competitiveness of domestic chips will be further enhanced.
The rising prices of imported chips will make more domestic mobile phone manufacturers consider independently developing chips.
Perhaps not every company has the ability to independently develop chips.
But it is completely possible for several companies to work together to develop chips.
After learning the news, Luo Wenkun also felt that this was good news for Fulun Technology.
However, Luo Wenkun felt that they might have some other purposes in releasing this news at this time.
Luo Wenkun and several senior executives of the company discussed the news together.
"If the price of imported chips is going to increase... other mobile phone manufacturers will probably start hoarding chips right away."
"That's right. For other companies, now is definitely a good time to buy at the bottom. The cost of developing their own chips is too high. Da Mi has invested a lot of money in developing its own chips and designed several chips, but the performance is too far behind the high-end chips of the same period. Now it has basically given up on this area."
"In fact, I think the impact of chip price increases on mobile phone manufacturers is relatively small. They just need to raise the price of their phones accordingly. In the end, the wallets of consumers will have to pay for it."
"This is generally good for our next generation of Fulong mobile phones . If the price of the flagship phone is too high, consumers who do not have such high requirements for mobile phone configuration may choose the second best and choose mid- to low-end phones."
Just as Luo Wenkun expected.
After learning the news, other major mobile phone manufacturers began to stockpile mobile phone chips.
It’s not that they all don’t want to develop their own chips, it’s just that the road is too difficult and too long.
In addition, they also firmly believe that the Bald Eagle will not easily cut off their chip supply.
Because if that happens, it will be a huge loss for those chip companies.
On the Internet, netizens also have their own thoughts on this news.
"The price of imported chips will increase in the future. Fortunately, we have started to develop our own chips. Even if they stop supplying us, we will not be without chips. Come on, Huaxia Technology!"
"It's over. Future flagship phones will be even more expensive. I guess you won't be able to buy one without 5,000 yuan."
"The price increase of imported chips should have no impact on Fulong mobile phones. If not, we will support purely domestic products in the future."
But since some time ago, the direction of public opinion suddenly began to change.
More and more netizens have begun to accuse Fulun Technology of developing its own chips, which has raised the price of chips.
Their view is that everyone could have coexisted peacefully and the price of chips would not have increased.
Developing one's own chips is a provocative act for the West.
What's worse, some people say that the chips made by Fulun Technology are "junk chips" and are not as good as the chips that were eliminated in the West a few years ago.
These people listed various reasons, making it difficult for many netizens to discern the truth of the matter.
For a time, Fulun Technology became the target of public criticism and was attacked by netizens.
…
Xu You did not pay attention to the comments on the Internet.
Although Xu You is a shareholder of the company, he almost never participates in such decision-making matters.
Luo Wenkun did not disturb Xu You because of this matter, but discussed ways to solve this problem with other senior executives of the company.
"Obviously, someone is deliberately stirring up trouble. Normal netizens in our country would never smear us for such things. Find a way to check the real IP addresses of these accounts stirring up trouble and see who is behind it."
