Chapter 94 Year-end inventory
Every year at the end of the year, the news media will always release various year-end inventory, and among all the inventory this year, Star Technology is the most eye-catching color.
The media is unanimous and uses extremely exaggerated words such as miracles, greatness, incredibleness to describe the achievements made by Star Technology this year.
What is more interesting is that those media that publish inventory in advance often issue a supplementary note.
Let readers know that in addition to the four major innovations of optimization, display, wireless charging, optics, and this year, Xingchen Technology has also inserted its black hands into the upstream of semiconductors, becoming the world's largest semiconductor consumables supplier in one fell swoop.
There is no way, Xingchen Technology's New Year offensive was launched late. When they were sieging cities and land around the world, the editors had already written the manuscript for the year-end inventory.
What’s more interesting is that the major media’s description of Xingchen Technology is completely beyond people’s general impression of high-tech enterprises.
Usually, the editor’s manuscript says that a certain company attaches importance to R&D or dares to innovate.
In this year's inventory, the media's caliber was consistent, and a combat-rich hat was put on Xingchen Technology.
They used a lot of space to describe the straightforward nature of Xingchen Technology, which is particularly capable of enduring hardships and fighting spirit.
It seems that it is not a high-tech enterprise, but an army.
Domestic media are generally tolerant. The fact that Xingchen Technology is composed entirely of straight steel men is either mentioned in one sentence or it is based on combat effectiveness.
However, when it comes to jìng wài méi tǐ’s article, I am not so polite.
Times rated Xingchen Technology as the most influential company of the year, and also unceremoniously mocked the Steel Straight Men's Group.
The picture uses four otakus protagonists in the big life, and the introduction text says that the reason why Star Technology is the world of men is because no women are willing to work with them.
Le Figaro is one of the most influential newspapers in France, and the country of France is the birthplace of neo-zì yóuism and the base of feminism.
In Le Figaro's article, it was so harsh that Star Technology was scolded, calling them a group of sexist and a cancer in the technology world. The success of Star Technology is an insult to women around the world and a serious provocation to zì yóu.
In addition, Le Figaro also called on all women not to buy products related to Star Technology. The male compatriots who support women's independence should also stay away from them. Everyone should work together to make this company with strong straight male cancer attributes go bankrupt as soon as possible.
However, a rioter helped Le Figaro count. It was almost impossible to completely resist Star Technology's products.
Even if they don’t buy mobile phones produced by the Big Four, almost all processors and monitors around the world use the photoresist of Star Technology during the production process.
Unless feminists are willing to return to their original era, stop surfing the Internet, and watch TV, they will not avoid using Star Technology's products.
There is one more interesting thing in this New Year.
The global academic community issued a joint statement in which thousands of well-known scholars signed the statement, strongly requesting Star Journal to provide an English version.
In recent months, they have been tortured by this journal, and the academic papers are absolutely rigorous. Reading articles translated by individuals always makes scholars feel uncomfortable.
What they couldn't accept was that since Star Journal never authorized anyone to translate, all the articles they saw were illegal pirated reading materials.
Hundreds of thousands of scholars and professors, millions of college students and graduate students around the world, all of whom were holding pirated reading materials together, reading them with relish, and they were still discussing them lively after reading them.
This is shameless!?
Over the years, developed countries have repeatedly accused our country of lack of intellectual property protection and piracy.
Now, one of the most elite intellectual classes in developed countries has become pirated readers, which makes people feel sorry for them.
Of course, Luo Jia ignored the requirements of the academic community. It was originally intended to challenge their academic hegemony. If it was changed to the English version, it would be a challenge.
Of course, Luo Jia did not make any provocative moves, such as asking the Science and Nature journals to launch a Chinese version.
At the critical juncture of fighting for operating system hegemony, if it is not necessary, Luo Jia does not want to have a conflict with anyone now.
......
In short, since the existence of Star Technology in this world, the world has become more and more lively.
On the last day of the year, his parents organized a table of good dishes. Luo Jia called the company's management to visit home and discussed the company's development issues next year.
"Wu Chang hasn't come back yet? I haven't seen him for two or three months. I'm so frightened." Hong Tao muttered that he and Di Wuchang were roommates and had a very good relationship.
"Five Chang is still in the United States." Luo Jia picked up the red wine and took a sip. "I asked him to make some preparations there. After all, our next move will definitely cause a huge wave in the United States. This time, the supply to Intel is also out of future considerations."
Next action?
Everyone showed curious eyes. Luo Jia knew that it would be meaningless to hide it any longer, so she signaled Li Moran to tell everyone about the situation.
Li Moran, who was in charge of the company's software department, told everyone here about the company's software department's development of operating systems.
After hearing this, their chin fell to the ground in surprise.
No one expected that while the hardware department was rushing to capture the global market, the software department quietly completed such a big move!
They made the operating system!
"The packaging and testing have been completed," said Li Moran, "but Google has not taken action now, so we are still trying to hurry up and perform more testing and optimization on the system."
"The longer the time goes on, the more beneficial it will be to us. After all, facing a powerful opponent like Google, no matter how much preparation it is, it is always not enough."
Everyone was speechless for a moment. No wonder the software center was always working overtime and the lights were on at night. It turned out that they were writing the operating system!
An Ran solemnly raised his wine glass and said seriously, "Brother Moran, this cup is to you!"
Li Moran smiled, "Actually, I am just assisting General Luo in managing the team. Several of the most core modules were written by General Luo in his spare time. It is really not easy for him to be so busy."
Luo Jia waved his hand quickly, "You don't need to say anything, let's drink this glass of wine together."
After drinking the wine in the glass, Luo Jia put down the wine glass and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"Anyway, all our plans next year will revolve around the operating system, concentrate all our efforts to get this done."
"Li Moran's current mission in the United States is to form a legal team and a lobbying team."
"After all, we are trying to touch the foundation of the United States. All the three major operating systems in the world are controlled by Americans. If we lose, it would be fine. If we win, there will definitely be a strong reaction there. I don't know how many members of the Senate will jump out and make us attack bloody. Di Wuchang is doing his work to cope with the future reactions of the United States."
An Ran nodded, looking like he suddenly realized.
"No wonder you wanted to sell the seventh-level photoresist to giants like Intel and Texas Instruments. At that time, I wondered, if it was only sold in the domestic market, it would greatly enhance the competitiveness of SMIC, and those Chinese semiconductor companies, who had to sell them to Americans."
"So, once the war with Google breaks out, we can have enough allies in the United States!" An Ran said.
Everyone was moved, what does it mean to prepare for the future?
That's it!
Long before the war began, Luo Jia had already made arrangements in the United States.
Once the war begins, if the US authorities sanction Xingchen Technology, they will have trouble. Giant companies such as Intel and Texas Instruments use Xingchen Technology's photoresist and they will use it very well. They will definitely not agree.
Hong Tao frowned, "See this, Samsung, lg, Hynix, and those Koreans, we will also accept the orders from them?"
Luo Jia smiled and said, "Select, why not?"
"Only children are right or wrong, adults only talk about interests!"
"Samsung and Hynix are the overlords of the global storage industry after all. Among the other two players, Toshiba Storage has been acquired by a consortium led by the United States and South Korea. Micron's production capacity cannot meet my country's needs, and its technical level is also one level lower."
"So, South Korea is the factual monopolist in the storage industry in the world. Once they cut off the supply from China, it will be very troublesome. Therefore, we have to conduct in-depth ideas with them, so that Koreans dare not make memory chips. If they dare to cut off our goods, we will cut off their photoresist."
Everyone nodded.
International competition is a very complicated game. Before you have no ability to replace Samsung and Hynix, it is also a good choice to go deep into them.
Take the mobile phone industry as an example. No matter how fierce the war is, the four domestic giants will still use Korean-made memory chips. This is the industry, and no one can do without anyone else.
Everyone drank a lot of wine and talked very enthusiastically. When the New Year bell rang, they came to the yard and looked into the distant night sky.
Although the goal is the sea of stars, the road still needs to be taken step by step.
Chapter completed!
