Tan Sheng is not only responsible for the public relations of some of Nanwan Group’s projects in Shanghai, but also for some of Shanghai’s businesses.
For example, his public relations team is responsible for the distribution and settlement of chips produced by Component Factory No. 5 to Shenzhen and Bohai.
The internal name of their unit is Nanwan Group Shanghai Office.
On the morning of the 24th, the office received an order from Wan Feng.
The wholesale price of chips will drop by 10% from now on, and will drop by 10% every three days thereafter.
If foreign chips lower their prices, we will follow suit and lower our prices to the same level as foreign chips or even lower.
He will not passively wait for foreigners to lower prices. He will take the initiative to lower prices and put foreigners in a passive position.
Although Intel now occupies a large share of the chip market, it has not yet dominated the market and is still fighting with companies such as IBM.
Now is the time of chaos.
Since there is chaos, let's make it bigger. Don't give Intel the opportunity to quickly accumulate wealth and dominate the market, and don't let it grow stronger.
If it can't make huge profits, it won't have enough money for research and development, and without enough money for research and development, the launch of new products will be delayed.
Although Wanfeng does not have the ability to delay Intel's dominance at present, it still has the disruptive power to make it earn less.
A little bit of money can make a big thing. Maybe Intel's Pentium processor will be delayed because of this little money.
If we can delay the release and launch of Pentium by one day, that would be a victory.
Why can’t it be realized? What if it succeeds?
It would not be fun once its Pentium dominated the world.
"Engineer Cheng! How far along are you with the design of Hope No. 2 chip?"
"The preliminary circuit design is complete. If it weren't for your grandfather's two chips delaying it, the design phase would be complete by now."
"The tape-out has been successful here. You should go back and start the research and development of Hope 2 immediately. I hope to see it successfully taped out before the end of the year."
"Okay! I'll go back right away."
After mixing 286, Wan Feng is preparing to mix 386 next year.
The price of 386 in foreign countries is only a dozen yuan, but it is sold for more than three hundred yuan in China. This is intolerable.
It is necessary to reduce the time Intel reaps the benefits, even if it's just by one day.
I hope that the second model will surpass the 386 and be close to the 486 in terms of functionality. Maybe it will even be better if it can incorporate the 486.
After Cheng Gong returned, Wan Feng met Lu Jinshui.
With a salary to support his life, Lu Jinshui's enthusiasm was rekindled and his mental outlook was refreshed.
This time his spirit was a hundred times more excited than the last time Wan Feng saw him.
Now he has officially taken unpaid leave and is wholeheartedly helping Wan Feng with his work.
For more than a month, his job has been to travel around various semiconductor manufacturers in Shanghai and interact with technicians and ordinary employees of each semiconductor factory.
Shanghai semiconductor companies have learned that the market will soon open and foreign computers and semiconductor components will soon flood in, which has exacerbated the panic among those working in Shanghai's semiconductor industry.
These people don’t know where their future lies and are ready to be laid off at any time.
It’s no surprise that some people look for a way out.
This kind of environment was very good for Lu Jinshui, as it allowed his recruitment plan to proceed smoothly and he felt like a fish in water.
"I've contacted over 500 technicians from several major semiconductor companies in Shanghai. Their technical expertise is top-tier in China. As soon as their companies go bankrupt, they'll join Huaguang Technology. There are already over a thousand experienced technical workers. By the time your project is completed, which will likely be next year, this number will swell exponentially."
Wan Feng was delighted.
To get things done one still needs to rely on connections. Tan Sheng is eloquent but he has only fooled a few dozen people in all his time in Shanghai, whereas Lu Jinshui has fooled more people in just one month than Tan Sheng did in almost a year.
Wan Feng was very satisfied with Lu Jinshui's work and invited him to attend the group's annual meeting at the end of the year.
Inviting him to attend the annual meeting naturally means giving him a bonus.
On June 25th, Wan Feng, who had finished his work in Shanghai, flew directly to Shenyang with chip samples and met Zhu Guoxiong again in a military compound.
"According to your requirements, the chip has been successfully developed. This is a sample."
Wan Feng pushed several sealed small plastic boxes in front of Zhu Guoxiong.
"So fast? Boy, I have changed my opinion of your company's technical strength again."
"You can change your mind, but it's best not to change your mind about money."
Zhu Guoxiong frowned. "Why did you bring up money right away? I remember what you said: bringing up money is so hurtful."
"Even if it hurts my feelings, I have to mention it. Chip research does cost a lot of money. Just for these little gadgets, I spent 300,000 on the tape-out. If I can't even make back the money, I won't be interested in researching chips for you next time. So please reimburse me for the tape-out money first."
Wan Feng increased the amount of money spent on tape-out by two or three times, but he knew with all his might that Zhu Guoxiong would not give him that much, and it would be good enough if he could give him half of it.
But giving half will just protect your capital.
really.
"What! Three hundred thousand? Do you think we're a bank? One hundred and fifty thousand! Take it or leave it."
Look at what a fuss this has caused.
After Zhu Guoxiong handed the chip to his subordinates for inspection, he brought up another matter.
"Remember last time I said I would send someone to study computer science at your place?"
Of course Wan Feng remembered it, and he came here this time just to ask about it.
"Of course I remember."
"It's been approved by higher-ups, and they've selected a team of over a hundred people, all science and engineering graduates with a basic understanding of computer science. They will study at your company for a year."
"Grandpa, computers are so profound and extensive. One year is not enough! It will take at least two or three years."
"Haha! Aren't you afraid of being eaten out of money? You have to provide for your meals."
The food only costs a few dollars, and even if these people come up with an invention, they will have money for their food.
What's more important is that these people are the seedlings in the military's computer field. When they grow up and become the leaders in a certain field in the future, they will definitely side with Nanwan Group in some aspects.
This is a hidden investment that will bring endless benefits.
Not to mention providing meals, even paying salaries is not a problem.
"They can only stay with you for one year. Whether they will go back in the future depends on what they learn during that year. If they learn well, there is no doubt that they will have the opportunity to go back in the future."
Wan Feng is not bragging now. In the fields of computers and semiconductors, his group is now among the best.
In a few years, Huaguang Technology will become the most powerful private technology company in China.
Just one year at a time.
Then Wan Feng met these soldiers who were about to come to his company to study.
They were all around 22 or 23 years old, both men and women, most of them wore glasses.
However, these people were in high spirits, with confident smiles on their faces.
