Internationally, things are calm, and few people know or care about China's chip production.
Domestically, however, it caused quite a stir and a great deal of noise.
Even though Su Wu had tried to reduce his influence, it still sparked considerable discussion.
After all, he wouldn't dare to arbitrarily delete objective commentary from authoritative media outlets.
Besides, those foreign lackeys who jump out and make noise should be met with a rebuttal.
Even though these few comments were written with great passion, they greatly inspired national pride.
Su Wu would not dare to touch such articles; this was a matter of principle.
Following Gao Qiang's press conference, the development of science and technology in China became a hot topic online.
The fact that China has begun producing its own high-end chips speaks volumes.
The public discourse reached its peak, especially when major chip manufacturers began to lower the price of 180-nanometer chips.
Many people believe this will be the beginning of a technological revolution, and that China's technology will achieve groundbreaking development.
In reality, only a few industry insiders know what the chips produced by Ruyang Electronics Technology represent.
This merely means that China has temporarily filled the gap in the chip industry.
Furthermore, it simply broke the monopoly of foreign chip manufacturers.
However, with the rapid development of technology, insiders know that 180-nanometer chips have reached the end of their technological iteration.
Relying on domestically produced 180-nanometer chips can only reduce production costs, but cannot create any technological advantage.
Moreover, chip manufacturing and chip application technologies are not closely related.
Take the current 130-nanometer chips as an example. There are very few companies in China that can use them; they simply don't have the technology.
Even now, other countries are merely exploring the application of new types of chips.
When international chip prices began to decline, many manufacturers immediately chose to abandon Ruyang chips.
While they tout Ruyang chips as a source of national pride, they continue to import chips from abroad.
As for why, it's truly a sad story.
This is the technological credibility accumulated through years of operation and monopoly by foreign capital.
Given the same price, they would rather pay more for shipping than choose imported products.
Ruyang Electronics Technology Company Headquarters.
Gao Qiang and other high-ranking officials were ashen-faced, practically ready to jump up and slam their fists on the table.
A month after they gained fame, their domestic chip orders actually decreased by half.
"Don't these foreign-worshipping bastards know what it means to support domestic products?"
"The grass is always greener on the other side! How infuriating! What's wrong with our chips?"
"Sigh, our technical level is clearly the same, or even better, so why can't they see it?"
An extremely melancholic atmosphere filled the conference room, accompanied by wisps of blue smoke.
Su Wu sat in the head seat, looking at them like wronged wives, and found it amusing.
Are you feeling wronged?
That's for sure.
But what Su Wu saw more was a double standard, as if the cake had been taken away from him.
Supporting domestically produced goods is easier said than done.
Without building sufficient public confidence and national pride, why should anyone support us?
If you lack the ability, you should work harder instead of complaining.
He clapped his hands, silencing the crowd's complaints.
"Put your phones out!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd was puzzled.
However, they were still somewhat bewildered as they placed their phones on the conference table.
Su Wu looked around and found that everyone was using decent mobile phones.
And the Longyao phones produced by their own company only account for half of the market.
"It seems everyone's standard of living is quite good; they're all using high-end phones costing thousands of yuan—Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, and..."
"Isn't our Longyao a domestic product? We even provide it to everyone for free, right? How come only half of you use it? You don't support domestic products, and you don't even support your own company's products. It's like we're giving it away for free!"
Su Wu's voice was not loud, but it was extremely harsh.
Countless people who used imported mobile phones lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.
Those using Longyao phones subconsciously looked around, their eyes filled with thoughtful expressions.
Su Wu sighed and asked with a smile, "What about your support for domestic products? What does it mean to support domestic products?"
The room was deathly silent; no one answered.
"Why did you stop talking? Wasn't it quite lively just now? Actually, people not using Longyao phones has nothing to do with performance; it's all about brand image and prestige! What kind of prestige can domestic products have, right?"
Su Wu continued to speak with a faint smile, but his tone turned unfriendly.
Presentation?
When everyone heard this new term, they understood it instantly.
That's so vivid, so lifelike.
The biggest reason they use imported goods is because of the brand image.
Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing brocade at night.
They are, after all, high-income earners; how could they not show off?
At that moment, they seemed to understand something.
Su Wu looked around at everyone and sighed inwardly.
"Alright. I think you understand now, right? The same product, but with the label of an imported chip, naturally has a different level of prestige and prestige."
"You yourselves can't even fully support your own products, so why should you expect others to? Falling behind means getting beaten, didn't you learn that in elementary school?"
Instead of engaging in pointless venting here, we should think about solutions and consider where our company's future lies.
Su's voice echoed in the hall, as resounding as a great bell.
Without a price advantage, how can Ruyang chips outsell imported products?
Without sufficient brand influence, why should the public demand that you are indispensable?
Ultimately, it's because they themselves lack the ability; there's no other reason.
After a long while, Gao Qiang looked up in shame.
At this moment, he felt that he had wasted half his life and was far less knowledgeable than Su Wu.
"Boss, we did get a bit carried away, and we do have our own problems. I'll be making some changes to them."
"Actually, we also came up with a solution, but... now we can only engage in a price war."
Gao Qiang sincerely admitted his mistake, but then reluctantly proposed their solution.
Price wars are simply about sacrificing profits to compete for market share; whoever offers the lowest price has the advantage.
Given their current production costs, even if they lower the price further, they can still make a considerable profit, which is not impossible.
Su Wu nodded slightly upon hearing this; these people were not so arrogant as to disregard everything.
"A price war is definitely necessary, after all, it's our advantage. We are fully capable of driving down the price of 180-nanometer chips!"
"Of course, doing this will ultimately lower everyone's profits, and we still won't benefit much. So the key question is how many related application products we can come up with ourselves?"
As he spoke, Su Wu stood up, his eyes gleaming, and pulled over a whiteboard.
