He maintained a very humble attitude, remaining invisible.
Xing Baohua gathered everyone together to build a wafer fab; if they were going to do it, they wanted to do it the world's largest.
With the world's demand for chips increasing, Xing Baohua is confident that he can do a good job and satisfy all shareholders.
There are competitors, but for now, there's no need to pay them any attention. After the factory is established, Xing Baohua will go after orders. There are only two reasons why competitors want to take his orders: price and environmental regulations.
Xing Baohua is afraid of the latter; once the blockade is imposed, they will have to rely on imported chips, which will also be subject to restrictions.
The wafer fab will also encounter various difficulties. Such a large factory will gradually support tens of thousands or even more people, and during the lockdown period, it will have to rely on itself.
Next, Xing Baohua will spare no expense to acquire the patents for 286, 386, and 486.
He makes a living by replicating chips, but whether he can operate at full capacity depends on the market. Xing Baohua has already figured out the sales strategy.
Russia also has a significant demand for chips. They're in an even worse situation, constantly being blocked.
But the spirit remains! You play with your integrated circuits, I'll play with my vacuum tubes.
The paths they take are different.
Moreover, the needs are different. The Russians pursue power, and they can still operate without integrated circuits, although the size is huge and the materials are a bit rough.
However, in the civilian sector, we still rely on imports. But some countries want to raise prices and make money off us, so we can't block imports in the civilian sector.
If Xing Baohua were to distribute the replicated chips to the civilian market in Russia, even with a blockade, they would be powerless to do anything about it.
Why is Russia lagging behind in the electronics field?
There's actually a story behind this. Even when they were blocked from developing integrated circuits a long time ago, they still worked very hard to do so.
However, after a large mushroom experiment, it was discovered that a certain element had an impact on integrated circuits. The shock wave generated a large number of electromagnetic pulses, which could effectively cause integrated crystal circuits to fail.
However, mechanical and electronic tubes are unaffected by electronic pulses and can continue to function. Therefore, Da Mao persistently pursued a different research and development path.
Although they almost threw mushrooms at each other after that incident in Cuba, it didn't happen, but Russia has always been on guard against such a thing happening.
I threw a giant mushroom at you, and your electronic devices stopped working. But the giant mushroom you threw at us kept our devices working.
What does that mean?
Decades passed, and nothing happened. Da Mao realized that his obsession had been misled. He tried to get into integrated circuits, but found it too far ahead. He couldn't catch up!
Let's stick with vacuum tubes then!
Only Da Mao could master vacuum tubes to such an extreme degree; he was the only one in the world to do so.
After the family splits up, their house is a treasure trove! If only they could trade the chips for something...
What else in their house is worth replacing?
