Reborn as a New Farmer of the 1980s

Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....

Chapter 2373 It turns out that there are such car companies in China

Wan Feng was at the auto show in the morning and went to Huaguang Electronics in the afternoon.

If you come to Shanghai, you must visit Huaguang Electronics.

At Huaguang Electronics, I talked with Mi Guangnan about the development plan of Huaguang Electronics, and then went to the production department accompanied by Lu Jinshui to see the production status of the Huaguang Electronics factory.

Huaguang Electronics now has more than 20,000 employees and dozens of production departments, covering almost dozens of projects in the semiconductor industry from materials to finished products.

The department with the largest number of employees is the chip manufacturing department, which produces hundreds of millions of chips of various levels every year.

Here we produce both the lowest-grade chips that cost a few cents each, as well as high-end chips that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars each.

As long as it is related to electronics, there is nothing that cannot be produced here.

It can be said that nearly one-third of Huaguang’s domestic electronic chip supply comes from here.

Shenzhen's Huaguang chip production department also took over part of the supply.

The chips produced by the Huaguang Chip Factory are mainly supplied to Huaqiangbei, while the chips produced by Huaguang Electronics are supplied to the whole country and the military, and a small portion is exported.

In summary, Huaguang's chip production accounts for half of the supply in China's chip market.

After the country abandoned the semiconductor industry in the mid-to-late 1980s, with the exception of a very small number of companies that survived, almost all other semiconductor companies in the country were shut down.

During this period, China recruited talents and merged factories on a large scale, and by this time, these efforts had begun to bear fruit.

Now, the semiconductor industry has become one of the two pillar industries of Nanwan Group, and the semiconductor department can generate tens of billions of profits for the group every year.

Because Huaguang has the most advanced lithography machines, the high-end chips it now produces are of absolutely first-class quality.

Huaguang has not made the lithography machines developed by ASMI public, nor has it sold any of them. ASMI now keeps almost all of the lithography machines it produces for its own use.

Although having a good lithography machine does not necessarily mean that high-quality chips can be produced, lithography is the most important link in chip production. If the quality of lithography is high, the chip will not be too bad.

This has left chip processing companies around the world baffled.

Because of the emergence of Huaguang, although Taiji Electrical was established two years earlier than Huaguang, it has not developed to any level so far and is at least still just an ordinary electronics company.

As for whether it can still become the behemoth of the previous life?

Wan Feng thinks it is impossible.

Even if Apple will give orders to them in the future because of their faction relationship, it is hard to say how many orders they will get.

It remains to be seen whether Apple can succeed in this life.

Wanfeng has handed over all the plans to Yu Zhengdong, and plans to launch smartphones in 2005 and 2006.

If Huaguang launches a smartphone before Apple, will Apple still have a place in this market?

Even if Apple comes out, it can only sell its products in the North American market at most. Don't imagine that it will be like when smartphones first came out in the previous life, when Apple was the only one in the world.

Without Apple's orders, both Taiji Electric and Fushikang are doomed.

Without these two companies, what will the people on Green Island use to cause trouble in 2015?

This can also be regarded as a contribution to the great cause of national reunification.

That night, Wan Feng stayed in the guesthouse of Huaguang Electronics.

The next day, he came to the Shanghai Auto Show again.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a surprise happened in the Nanwan Auto Show Hall, which had been unpopular yesterday. When people walked into the Nanwan Group booth, they unexpectedly discovered that the host of the auto show was Yue Hui, a local celebrity in Shanghai.

Although Yuehui has rarely appeared on the screen since she gave birth, she has frequently collaborated with big-name stars from Hunan and Hong Kong in the past two days and has become a top star herself. She is also very well-known in China.

This is not the only thing that surprises people. The most surprising thing is that the person hosting the auto show with her is Andy Lau, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

It’s hard to imagine the South Bay Auto Show not being packed now.

Nanwan invites celebrities not for the audience to see the celebrities, but the main purpose is naturally to introduce cars.

Although Liu Tianwang's Mandarin is not very good, he is still very fluent in introducing the products, which shows that he has put in a lot of effort.

There are several large-screen color TVs in the auto show hall today, introducing various models of cars in Nanwan.

These video footages are not about the performance of South Bay cars.

Most people have no idea what those abstract things are. Many people can't even tell the difference between an L engine and a T engine. No matter how much you explain, it's all in the fog for them.

It would be better to put something they can understand.

What was being played on TV was a documentary about the extreme tests of various models of vehicles in Nanwan during different periods of time.

These documentaries were filmed starting from the Qingfengche period.

Wanfeng has a film company under its umbrella, so making a documentary shouldn't be a big problem.

These documentaries record the test runs in various years and periods since the beginning of Qingfeng from all angles.

There are galloping in the southern rain forests, galloping in the Gobi Desert, and traversing the white ice and snow of Mohe in northern Xinjiang...

There is also a 100,000-kilometer endurance test and collision tests conducted by Great Wall and Dingfeng.

The fact that Wan Feng was able to invite King Liu was naturally related to Yue Hui's connections in the Hunan and Hong Kong entertainment circles. Otherwise, he might not have been able to invite him even if he had money.

Besides, it’s not just King Liu who was invited.

King Liu had obviously done his homework in advance. He introduced the models of Nanwan Group in front of the TV and was actually familiar with all the cars of Nanwan from different periods.

From the vehicle configuration to the conditions at the test site, appropriate explanations were given.

This was the first time that Wan Feng saw the edited version of this documentary, and he unexpectedly discovered a new situation.

Guan Dahai’s driving skills are so amazing.

This guy drives the car like a racing car no matter it is in the tropical rainforest, desert Gobi or even in the wind and snow in the north.

Wan Feng thinks that this guy should be sent to the China Automobile Rally to train, and if he performs well, he can be allowed to participate in the Dakar Rally.

Because of the appearance of King Liu, the Nanwan Automobile booth became the focus of the first day of the auto show.

Those car reporters suddenly turned into entertainment reporters, wasting a lot of film with all the clicking.

Also because of Liu Tianwang’s commentary, the people present truly understood the strength of Nanwan Automobile.

Those cars racing through the ice and snow of the tropical rainforest, Gobi desert and other places are not rally cars, but ordinary family cars.

The performance of these ordinary family cars in the documentary is completely different from those of the racing cars.

Many shots show that the shells of these cars are smashed into pieces by collisions, but they are still roaring and running on various roads.

After learning that this was a completely local company with no joint venture background and many of its own intellectual property rights, Chinese talents suddenly discovered that their country actually had a local car company with such a high level of technology.
