Meanwhile, MMC game graphics enhancement chips have shifted from game cartridges to game consoles, naturally reducing the demand.
Well, actually, when developing the first generation of home video game consoles, the MMC chip could have been directly integrated onto the console's motherboard. But as capitalists, doing so seemed a bit inappropriate.
The presence of MMC chips is precisely why game cartridges are expensive. Otherwise, how could they explain to consumers that Wujiang's game cartridges are more expensive than Nintendo's? And why are they more expensive?
However, since CD-ROM is used as a game storage medium, the MMC chip can only be installed in game consoles, which means that it is no longer possible to continue to exploit loopholes as before.
Game Boy game cartridges can still be used for profit, and the second-generation Game Boy will also use game cartridges as the game storage medium. However, the storage chip will be replaced with NAND flash memory, which can accommodate larger games and greatly reduce the number of EPROM storage chips...
After careful consideration, Zhao Ye still felt that Wujiang Microelectronics could only build one new wafer fab at most for the time being. Otherwise, once the gaming industry upgrades and frees up massive chip production capacity, it's uncertain whether the world could absorb it all…
He immediately wrote his comments on the back of Wujiang Microelectronics' report, including his predictions and concerns about future market changes.
After writing it, he asked Liu Yinyin to send a fax to Wujiang Microelectronics Company.
He had just finished doing these things when his phone rang.
To the surprise of many, the owner of Wujiang Group is still using products from its competitor, Motorola. This is unavoidable, unless Wujiang Group launches its own self-developed phones.
PHS phones cannot roam and can only make local calls. If you want to contact other areas, it is best to use a Motorola mobile phone.
The call was quickly connected, and Liao Xinghua's voice came from the other end.
Liao Xinghua's current main position is the general manager of Asia Satellite Company.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Zhao Ye was slightly surprised and asked, "Mr. Liao, hello. Is there good news calling me today?"
Liao Xinghua smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, I do have good news to tell you!"
After a pause, Liao Xinghua said happily, "The American insurers have finally agreed to let our Asia Satellite Company acquire that Houston company's communications satellite for $15 million!"
"Wow, that's really good news!" Zhao Ye smiled, paused slightly, and asked, "When will this communications satellite be launched?"
"It will probably be around June next year..." Liao Xinghua thought for a moment before answering, then added, "For now, the satellite will undergo technical improvements at the Houston company to adapt it for Asian communications. This will take about two months. Then it will be transported back to China from the United States, which will take another two months. Finally, the satellite launch will also require two to three months of preparation..."
"Okay, I have no problem with that. By the way, has CITIC Group contacted any domestic rocket launch companies?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, we've already contacted the rocket launch company in mainland China, there shouldn't be any problems!" Liao Xinghua patted his chest and assured him with a smile.
"Well, that's good." With CITIC Group's capabilities, there's probably not many things they can't accomplish in China. I'm so envious. Zhao Ye thought to himself, how wonderful it would be if I could establish an aerospace company in China! Right, I'll go sound out the leaders later.
Liao Xinghua said, "That's all. Mr. Zhao, you're busy, I'm hanging up now!"
"Okay, Mr. Liao. Goodbye!"
Zhao Ye hung up the phone, then immediately flipped through his phone book to find the number of the bigwig in the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and dialed it.
"Given Wujiang's current status, the country should value it highly. We should welcome Wujiang Group's foray into the aerospace industry..." Zhao Ye muttered to himself.
A moment later, the call was connected.
"Good morning, leader. I am Zhao Ye."
"Hello, Xiao Zhao, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other. What made you think of calling me today? Is there something you need?" the leader asked with a smile.
Zhao Ye didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Boss, Wujiang Group wants to enter the aerospace market. What do you think of this?"
Upon hearing this, the leader was stunned for a long time. A private company entering the aerospace market? This... it's not that they can't enter, but the aerospace industry has extremely high barriers to entry. How could an ordinary company possibly enter this industry?
While the leader was still thinking, Zhao Ye added, "The United States has a large number of companies, such as Raytheon Technologies, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Houston, entering the aerospace industry, which has promoted the rapid development of the American aerospace industry!"
"And what about our country? As far as I know, China's space program only invests 2 billion yuan a year, and with such a small amount of money, it is used for manned spaceflight, lunar exploration, space station and the like."
"To be honest, the funding invested is far too little, yet we insist on doing so much. In the end, we're afraid it will be a losing proposition!" Zhao Ye sighed.
China's space program is often accused of being a scam to obtain funding.
In fact, in most cases, the lack of research results was simply due to insufficient funding. It was only later, as the country became wealthier and investment in the space program increased, that China gradually became a major space power.
Zhao Ye, however, wanted to promote the development of China's aerospace industry. This not only reflected Zhao Ye's dream but also contained huge potential benefits.
