Chapter 232 That's it
Feng Yiping wanted to do everything, which made Academician Zhou and the others very happy. China's chip industry needs Feng Yiping's ambitious and capable participation.
Feng Yiping's strength is not only that he is the richest man in China and Asia, so he has sufficient funds and does not need to rely on the support of the country. His own financial resources are enough to support him in conducting related research and development.
It is also reflected in his influence.
Chip research and development, one is capital, and the other is naturally human.
And Feng Yiping is undoubtedly a convincing person.
If it were other Zhang San Li Si Wang Er Ma Zi, who went to Japan and South Korea, Europe and the United States to recruit well-known talents in the chip field, even if they carried large bags of cash, it would be difficult to get what they wanted.
For high-end people in this industry, money is not their primary need, or, I am doing well at Samsung and Intel, why should I follow you?
Even if you can give me 10 times my current annual income in a year, who knows that your company will not exist in 10 years?
With Feng Yiping's reputation and achievements, the people he wants to recruit will definitely not have such concerns.
However, Feng Yiping wanted to do anything like this, which made Academician Zhou and the others a little worried.
The research and development of chips is really not a simple project. Not only is the technical threshold very high, but the investment threshold is also very high.
Generally speaking, the threshold for chips mainly includes algorithm design material technology, processing technology and packaging and testing. Not to mention the others, just say that the cost of building a semiconductor factory with the latest process is approaching US$4 billion!
Even around the world, not many people can afford such investments.
This cost is still growing rapidly. Just say that 10 years ago, the investment was only more than one billion US dollars. Academician Zhou estimated that in another ten years, the cost would exceed 10 billion US dollars, which is not unimaginable.
Of course, you can find OEM in this regard, but it is OEM, and the related costs are also huge. For example, if you want to flow, you will have to spend more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
From experience, few chips can be successfully produced in one piece of chips...
The expenses in this area are too much and too large, especially there are too many pits, and all these pits have to be filled with money.
"Mr. Feng, let's give an example," Academician Zhou organized a language, "Let's talk about memory chips. This may be familiar to everyone. Friends or colleagues around may add memory to their computers, or change their hard drives, or something."
"We are sure that with the increasing number of smart devices in the future, the demand in this area will definitely increase."
"But memory chips are a bit special. We all know that, generally speaking, electronic products are reduced in price every year, but memory is an exception. When it is reduced in price, it may drop to a lower price than production costs, but when it rises, it is equally powerful. It doubles or doubles, which is not uncommon,"
"This is a bit like the chemical industry. It emphasizes the cycle of heavy assets. Prices rise and fall. When they rise, they will be sluggish in counting money. But once it falls, they may even want to cut off this project..."
Feng Yiping smiled, "Academician, I understand your concerns, and thank you for your reminder. I have considered all the risks related to this aspect,"
"But like other industries, in the chip field, risks can also be said to be opportunities. For example, the memory price you just mentioned, will indeed bring high losses. But once we are not afraid of these losses, what can we bear it?"
"Then, it is very likely that we will become the king of this field, because many other competitors may not be able to resist the previous recession period and thus withdraw from this field, but the market will be larger than before, that is, in other words, in terms of supply and demand, which means that we can embrace a time when we count money and get sore..."
He said this, what can Academician Zhou say?
"Especially memory chips, we must do it," Feng Yiping waved his hand heavily.
Why did Samsung become so awesome later? Sometimes Apple even depends on his face. That's because it occupies more than half of the memory market?
And the memory market, this is undoubtedly in the future
