Tech Life Chapter 1099-1100

 Chapter 1099

In five years' time, the company will not be able to produce its own hardware, and even if it does, it will be subject to a monopoly lawsuit.


        But with the CSAC system, it's different. Li Linfei has fixed the specific technical barriers, and within the next one to two months, a total of 34 different types of chip samples with different functions will be produced, and the IC manufacturers within the CSAC system will get their own share of IC design, which is the chip components needed for the PHC, so that 100 percent of the domestic supply will be made.


        Some people say that typical domestic electronic devices such as mobile phones are assembled, and this time the point of fire is PHC, on the grounds that chips, memory, etc. all originate from upstream suppliers, and are overseas suppliers, with very few things really belonging to them, so Coastline is just an assembly plant.


        In fact, this argument is quite funny, if according to this argument, not only is Future Technology an assembly plant, Apple is also an assembly plant, Apple mobile phones need Samsung, Qualcomm, these companies supply, but also used Huawei's technology, the two companies' revenue is not similar, even if the profit is also in between, assembly plant will be so valuable?


        The next time, Li Linfei was ready to stay in this R&D and production centre for a good while, everything is difficult at the beginning, the first PHC machine composed entirely of domestic chips is crucial and time is really running out.


        The entire CSAC, under his leadership, each in their own way, is pushing forward with a speed that they themselves can hardly imagine, the subversive metamorphosis of the road to localization of high-end chips, every member within the CSAC system now seems to be dreaming, as if it were too easy, too easy to be realistic, yet knowing that it is not a dream.


        ......


        Ten days later, Future Technology Group officially began its official announcement, announcing to the public that a new product launch would be held at the company's headquarters on the 24th of that month, with the theme of the launch flung straight out - PHC2.0 themed launch, not MS.


        As soon as the official announcement was made, the domestic media immediately covered the event in an overwhelming manner. In addition to Future Technology's promotional efforts, other members of the CSAC system have made statements on official blogs, building up momentum and helping out.


        The establishment of the CSAC system is not simple, many semiconductor companies such as Huaxin International has the figure of the SASAC, and behind the semiconductor business is not only Ye Hua and their ICT companies in the power, but also behind another invisible hand of the state in promoting, behind the hidden will of the state.


        The result was that once the official announcement was made, the news media, including the domestic mainstream media, used the front page headlines to report on it.


        PHC2.0 undoubtedly also attracted a lot of coverage from foreign media, and at this time the SIA Semiconductor Industry Association and its US-based semiconductor companies were extremely concerned about it.


        Domestically, the PHC2.0 launch was a hot topic on the day of the official announcement.


        "Future Technology is going to make a big move?"


        "No way, this big move is too fast, it's only been a little over two months and it's already in a position to compete with the US in the chip sector? I don't believe it."


        "Where is the uncle party? The uncle party came out and broke the news about what's going on!"


        "This PHC 2.0 themed launch, does it refer to a software product."


        "Not quite sure, it looks like it's a software product."


        "Nope, everyone on the planet knows the strength of Future Tech's software industry, such a big event is definitely not."


        "So the uncle party isn't coming out yet?"


        "Damn yeah, all the semiconductor companies that are members of the CSAC are sounding off on their official blogs, Boss Li is going to make big news again."


        "It's a poker face in the end!"


        "This is CSAC-vs-SIA, Xiangzhong vs Silicon Valley? Inexplicably good burn, and a bit vain too."


        The online hot chatter was getting high with anticipation and apprehension, mainly because the previous media hype was so hot, while the global blocking of Future Technology Group also made many domestic netizens angry, but mocked themselves as incompetent rage.


        And as soon as CSAC came out, it was seen by the media as a match with the US semiconductor, and at the same time it was disliked by many people. Faced with the US absolute hegemony in the semiconductor field, the CSAC alliance system led by Li Linfei was inevitably tinged with a little bit of sadness.


        Once the official announcement of PHC2.0 came out, it was regarded by countless domestic netizens as the first time to light up the sword, and at the same time in anticipation it also seemed a bit underpowered.


        Semiconductor field, the old United States is the absolute hegemon, unshakeable, eat melon netizens although not deny Li Linfei and the future technology group powerful technological strength, but the opponent is in too powerful, too deep in the base.


        In contrast, foreign netizens also participated in the hot debate.


        Old American netizens: "The United States of America's semiconductor business has been able to dominate the world for many years, Li Linfei and CSAC want to challenge Silicon Valley in the chip field with half a year, good luck!"


        British gay netizen: "Our MP has said that Future Tech's products work well, but we don't use them."


        San netizen: "This is the biggest international joke of the year."


        Stick netizen: "The proud and ignorant Chinese will lose badly and will soon learn how hard semiconductors are."


        Compared to the domestic scene, foreign media and internet opinion was a different landscape. The FutureTech PHC 2.0 themed launch was a controversial one internationally, but most foreign media and netizens were unimpressed, reading between the lines to sit back and watch CSAC and Coastline end up embarrassed.


        The media in the US even openly mocked the company. The US had a lot of courage this time, as they have dominated the semiconductor sector for so many years and many challengers have fallen, so it would be unusual for them not to have this courage.


        Despite what foreigners say, the attention paid to the PHC 2.0 launch has not diminished at all.


        The level of interest at the moment is unprecedented in the history of the global technology industry.


        Everyone in the world was glued to October 24, a day that countless Chinese netizens had been waiting for for so long that some were afraid to watch it for fear of becoming disappointed because they had placed so much expectation on it.


        But no matter what, the day of October 24th is finally coming.


Chapter 1100

Intel Corporation Headquarters, California, USA.


        At this point in time, local time was at around 20:00 pm, Bob Swan and several of Intel's directors were staring at the large holographic display floating screen in front of them, all watching the Future Technology Group's PHC 2.0 themed launch live, less than half an hour before it was due to start.


        The faces of Intel's head honcho and several directors were somewhat gloomy and ugly. In fact, almost at this point in time, all the major semiconductor chip giants in the US were silently watching the PHC2.0 launch live.


        For the CSAC led by Li Linfei, there is no need to doubt that it is definitely a thorn in the side of these technology companies in the old US.


        "PHC2.0 ...... more than two months, could this so-called 2.0 version of PHC machine, without any SIA upstream supply chain support all by that damn CSAC alliance supply chain support?"


        "I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it, they haven't made a breakthrough for decades, there's no way they can conquer the highest end of human industrial manufacturing in such a short period of time just because a Chinese guy got a CSAC."


        "Future Technology must have been secretly working on the chip internally for a long time, otherwise it doesn't make sense, only God can do it."


        The faces of several directors were becoming increasingly ugly, if this so-called PHC 2.0 launch was really a big success, it would be a disaster for Intel, it would be more than simply losing one of the world's largest customers, but would face the competitive pressure of the Chinese in high-end chip manufacturing. What these US technology companies fear the most is that the monopoly on high-end chips may be broken as a result.


        It can be said that the semiconductor giants on the US side hate the CSAC system, and the fact that they can't wait to throw a bomb over to blow up this damn 2.0 launch.


        "Don't panic ......" said Bob Swan, secretly gritting his teeth, in fact, he was panicking to death inside, pretending to be calm, "The Future Technology Group is only three years away in how far in advance it is laid out, and Li Linfei is indeed A rare eccentric in the history of technology, but he is not God, even if he can make a breakthrough within three years, but how can he do it when the PHC machine contains more than thirty chip processes inside? Logic doesn't make sense."


        These words reassured the crowd in the room, yes, the PHC hardware would have been fully supplied by those manufacturers in China, meaning that over thirty integrated circuits would have to be taken care of.


        A director in his fifties with a gloomy expression seemed to reassure himself and slowly said, "It makes sense, a little breakthrough won't change the big picture, as long as one module isn't fixed, the PHC machine won't work properly to the inevitable bigger and bigger, when the time comes to launch a public opinion offensive, it will make this so-called 2.0 of his a joke in the industry and an international laughing stock."


        ......


        Meanwhile, across the Pacific Ocean, Xiangzhong City Future Technology headquarters.


        The local time is at about 10:55 am, many of the network media are live, the major domestic streaming video sites including today's headlines and other media windows have opened a special live, headlines on the live audience shows has passed the number of 1.2 million people watching online, this is the current media platform, is the real number, rather than those live platform so-called popularity.


        In addition to Future Technology Group's official announcement and the collective efforts of CSAC system members to help, the state was also actively promoting behind the scenes, the driving force of this invisible hand was the most terrifying, resulting in the PHC2.0 themed launch starting on the day of the official announcement exploding all over the internet.


        Never before has a commercial company's launch attracted such a terrifyingly high level of attention, even Future Technology Group's MS launch back then did not create the sensation it has today.


        Because this is not just a simple launch of an electric product, but a battle for the future of the ICT and IC industry in the world. What is behind it is a trillion dollar interest, and the value of output directly associated with the IC is no less than US$10 trillion, equivalent to about 50% of the total value of the US GDP.


        The plotting and calculations of the various forces, the open and dark struggle, has been kicked off from the yellow cake incident, is a stealthy and smokeless war.


        The ICT and IC industries are by no means just a battle of technology, but underneath the dark tide is a competition between all parties in terms of technical strength, cohesion, discourse and other comprehensive strength.


        China's position in the semiconductor industry has always been bullied, and now that it has a day to stand apart from the United States and is even in the lead, it is clear why there is a big invisible hand behind the scenes actively promoting it, making a commercial launch a popular event for all the people and even the whole world to watch.


        At 11:20am, all the various media guests were already present and gathered in the Future Technology Hall.


        There were nearly 400 domestic and international media present, and the hall was filled with 4,000 to 5,000 people. More than 2,000 people were present from the ICT and IC industry and its related companies, 76 core members of the CSAC system and some peripheral members, and more than 1,000 owners of PHC's downstream supply chain partners, foundries.


        The entire hall was filled with no less than 2,000 business executives.


        There were also a number of future technology super fans from all over the country, who are also loyal PHC users and were invited to attend the PHC 2.0 themed launch event.


        In the front row of the conference hall were the core members of the CSAC Semiconductor Alliance Club, with the heads of 76 top domestic semiconductor companies, including Zawei Heisi, SMIC, Microelectronics, Huaxin International and Changjiang Storage, all sitting in the chief seats without fail.


        At this moment, the bosses' hearts were also stirred, the surface as steady as a rock but the long-lost passion in their hearts could not stop washing away.


        At 11:27am, under the solemn introduction of the MC, the whole audience welcomed a mountain of applause.


        With the attention of the crowd, Li Linfei appeared from behind the curtain and in front of it. Nearly 6,000 people looked at the super floating giant screen suspended above the hall, in which the young figure was relaxed and natural, with a steady pace.


        Li Linfei was wearing a thin white long-sleeved shirt this morning, with his sleeves rolled up and a wireless transmitter clipped to his collar. It was quite cold for the time of year, even in the south, but the air-conditioned interior of the hall was comfortable.
