Chapter 398 The Foot Basin is Reluctant
Just as Pangu Technology was making great strides and planning to rapidly expand its smartphone production capacity to meet the maximum market demand, the major industrial countries around the world were quite anxious.
They are very anxious because, in the field of communications, the dragon is once again leading the world.
The communications industry is also a very large industry.
For a long time, Xifang has occupied an absolute dominant position in the communications industry.
In the era of landline telephones, they were the absolute kings.
With the advent of the mobile communications era, Giant Eagle once dominated the market for a short period of time.
For example, paging was invented by Motorola, a giant eagle company, and paging was once its dominant business. Back then, it dared to sell a pager for several thousand RMB, relying on its technological monopoly.
However, Pangu Technology entered the market with great force and directly launched 2G mobile services in the mobile phone era.
2G also directly killed Motorola's analog digital network.
Led by Pangu Technology, the dragon has dominated the era of mobile phones.
The entire lizard nation had to accept this reality.
They actually wanted to overturn the table and refuse to recognize the dragon's patent.
However, they can't even make their own feature phone motherboards and chips.
The multiple feature phones of Julong were so popular that they almost killed the entire communications industry of the Lizard.
The Lizards want to limit the Dragon's absolute lead in the mobile communications industry by blocking the market.
But, unfortunately, they cannot block the market even if they want to.
Because there is strong demand in their market.
Their companies cannot develop their own core technologies in a short period of time.
Then I can only act as a comprador, buying accessories and software from Julong and assembling them back home.
The price given by Julong is very fair, and they have a good profit margin.
This has nurtured a number of lizard-based assembly companies.
At the same time, this also killed the research and development enterprises of the lizard.
Because, Xifang's enterprises are driven by market demand in their R&D.
They want to put all their efforts and spend huge amounts of money to research and develop technologies that catch up with others, and then have to face unexpected risks: if there is no market, they may lose all their money.
They won’t do that!
Therefore, in the era of feature phones, Julong was the only dominant player.
Now, in the era of smart phones, dragons still occupy an absolute dominant position, which has also made the big chaebols in the Lizard side a little bit upset.
Yes, their mentality is a little broken.
They feel both jealousy and envy towards Pangu Technology.
Foot basin, Fujitsu.
Fujitsu President Taro Ono is in a meeting.
Fujitsu is a well-known communications manufacturing company.
They were also quite powerful in their early years.
However, after entering the 80s, especially after Pangu Technology developed 2G communication technology and dominated it, Fujitsu had a very difficult time.
Later, Fujitsu also cooperated with a state-owned enterprise of Julong, using their core technology to start assembling its own 2G mobile phones, and was able to survive in the foot basin market.
However, their development prospects are almost non-existent.
Taro Ono said with a serious expression: "Gentlemen, based on the current situation, one thing is certain: Pangu Technology's smart phone has achieved great success!"
"Once their production capacity explodes, it is estimated that it will quickly expand to the whole world."
"By then, there will be no chance for us to get a piece of the pie!"
"Our foot basins will probably just become their dumping market, that's all."
“We have also made a request to them to collaborate using their technology.”
“But, they are not responding now.”
"It's very likely! They won't share their technology with us for several years!"
“We also can’t get their parts and assemble them ourselves!”
"In this way, we will face the test of life and death!"
"We don't have much time left."
"We have to take action!"
"We need to work hard to crack their technology. If we can get their design drawings or something, maybe we can produce our own smartphones in a short time!"
“This is very important to us!”
"Let's discuss this, everyone."
After Taro Ono finished speaking, Fujitsu's senior executives began to express their ideas one by one.
In fact, their ideas are not very nutritious.
Under the current circumstances, it would be difficult for them to obtain Pangu Technology's process drawings.
Buy it, they don’t sell it at all, right?
As for cooperation, there is no plan at the moment.
The only way is to steal.
The foot basin is actually the best thing to steal.
Their corporate espionage is unmatched in the world.
They have used many espionage methods to obtain vital technology.
Ultimately, this also allowed them to rise from the ashes to become an industrial powerhouse in just a decade or two.
Under the leadership of Taro Ono, Fujitsu finally decided to take a risk and steal!
There are certainly many different means and methods of stealing.
Fujitsu believes that it can obtain Pangu Technology's smartphone technology through the following means.
The first thing is: thesis!
There is usually some useful information in the paper.
Based on the technical principles in the paper, we can organize people to come up with a set of our own.
However, people will use papers and patents to build a technical patent wall to protect their own rights and interests.
What you develop based on other people's papers is still their patent.
You definitely can’t use it casually.
If you use it casually, it is infringement!
If there is infringement, the other party can file a lawsuit with the International Patent Court.
Nowadays, Xifang pays the most attention to patent protection.
After all, they now have an absolute advantage in existing patents.
Protecting patents is protecting their own rights and interests.
Of course, with the rise of the dragons, their patent advantages are also being lost rapidly.
In recent years, Julong has applied for a large number of patents every year, and the number of patents it has applied for has far exceeded that of Giant Eagle.
If the current situation continues, Xifang's patent advantage will soon become a thing of the past.
By that time, they might just turn the table over and refuse to recognize the patent.
Fujitsu's second move is to disassemble and study the smartphones! They will organize high-end technicians to disassemble and study the smartphones launched by Pangu Technology. Through disassembly and study, they will try to figure out the other party's technology and then imitate it.
According to the current industrial technology of foot basins, it can be said that they are able to replicate and manufacture a considerable portion of the parts.
However, some of their parts cannot be repaired by disassembling the machine.
That is: chip!
Yes, you can’t learn how to use chips by disassembling the machine.
A chip is a concentrated integrated circuit with a very complex design. There are hundreds of millions of transistors on such a small substrate. Even with a microscope, you cannot see their true structure!
Therefore, as industry enters the era of electronic chip empowerment, it is no longer possible to rely on reverse engineering to learn new skills.
Fujitsu has purchased several Pangu Technology smartphones through certain channels.
Their technicians are disassembling the machines and learning in full swing.
They have already drawn up the design of the phone. But it's useless.
Taro Ono decided that he would visit Pangu Technology's smartphone factory himself.
When visiting other people's factories, I mainly want to take pictures of the production line equipment.
As long as it is filmed, the person who makes the move can imitate and manufacture the other party's production line.
Once the production line is in place, we can then deal with the raw materials and so on.
What's left is actually the chip!
There are mainly several chips in smart phones: CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphics processing chip), ISP (image processing chip), DSP (digital signal processing chip), NPU (neural processing unit chip), MODEM (modem chip), etc.
These chips are the core components of smart phones.
If you can't fix these chips, then you can't even think about fixing your smartphone.
The chip industry is actually quite powerful. It now has chip design software packages developed by Pangu Technology.
They can completely design and research chips themselves.
However, they still have major shortcomings in chip design.
Their shortcomings are not only in chip design, but also in production.
They have their own photolithography machines, etching machines and other products.
However, these are relatively backward products and cannot produce advanced chips.
This is the most anxious part of the foot basin.
Jiaoben had also thought about importing advanced chip production equipment from Julong.
However, dragons are not for sale.
For a dragon, they have a large, well-educated population.
They can definitely promote employment by building a large number of chip foundries in their own country.
Chip factories need a large number of engineering talents.
Julong can train engineers in large quantities through short-term training.
Employees in chip factories generally have very high incomes, and can cultivate more middle-class families.
This will play a huge role in rapidly promoting wealth creation among the country's people.
Therefore, Julong has no need to export chip production equipment.
They can simply build more chip factories in their own country to supply the high-end chips needed by the whole world.
This is obviously more reasonable.
Therefore, it is obvious that the desire of the Chinese to purchase chip equipment and build chip factories in their country to be self-sufficient will not be approved.
After all, Wang Haoran is very clear that chips are the foundation of future industrialization.
Once you grasp this foundation, you can dominate the world.
In the previous life, the Lizardmen led by the Giant Eagle actually relied mainly on controlling high-level chips to control the world.
At that time, the dragon's situation was actually quite dangerous!
If the giants cannot achieve a major breakthrough in the chip field, they will be greatly constrained and their industrialization will also be greatly affected.
Fortunately, the dragon has withstood the pressure, and the dragon's technological community is also very powerful.
In just less than five years, they have achieved major breakthroughs in the entire chip field, eliminating the hidden danger of Eagle Lizard being stuck in the chip field.
If we can eliminate this hidden danger, it means that we have already sailed through thousands of mountains and rivers.
Taro Ono knows that his biggest shortcoming now is chips.
If the chip can't be fixed, everything will be in vain.
They have actually sent a large number of spies to the dragon in the past.
But, unfortunately, they did not succeed.
However, the foot basin is very tenacious.
They will not give up until they achieve their goal.
They are still using various secret tricks to cause trouble.
Taro Ono decided to go to the dragon himself.
He wants to pay a visit to Wang Haoran.
He hopes to gain Wang Haoran's trust and then get the opportunity to visit Pangu Technology's intelligent machine factory.
Anyway, just take it little by little.
By taking multiple approaches, he hopes that he can accumulate small results into large ones, and eventually help Fujitsu achieve a major breakthrough in the development of smart phones.
Taro Ono led a group of his subordinates to the dragon in a mighty manner.
Before he went to Julong, Taro Ono personally wrote a letter to Wang Haoran, hoping to meet with Wang Haoran to discuss in-depth cooperation.
Of course, someone from Fujitsu would call Pangu Technology's office and inform them of this matter.
They took a very humble attitude and hoped to visit and learn at Pangu Technology.
Wang Haoran naturally saw the letter very quickly.
Taro Ono wrote this letter very sincerely.
He said that he has always admired the dragon culture and promoted friendly relations with the dragon in Jiaoben.
He respects Wang Haoran very much, but he is also anxious about the future development of the foot basin.
He believed that Jiaoben had always been the dragon's pupil, or even the dragon's son.
When Wang Haoran saw this, he felt a little physically nauseous.
I am!
This is a bit too corny.
The Japanese have no bottom line when it comes to flattery.
However, considering that Foot Basin's position in the Giant Eagle system is actually quite important.
It would be nice if you could make use of the foot basin.
But he also understood that the foot basin had no bottom line and was very easy to betray.
Even now, the president of Fujitsu probably has ulterior motives for visiting us.
The Japs are very anxious now.
Moreover, the Japs are actually very dissatisfied with the dragon now.
The devils always felt that they had also wreaked havoc on the dragon decades ago. They even felt a little superior in their hearts, and had an inexplicable psychological advantage.
They always felt that if it weren't for the giant eagle, they might have been able to succeed against the dragon.
The Japs really began to have a little respect for the dragon after the dragon pinned the giant eagle and its minions to the ground and rubbed them. Only then did they realize that the dragon was completely different from the poor and weak dragon of the past.
However, the Japanese economy began to take off in the 50s.
They quickly became the world's second largest economy and an industrial powerhouse.
Their tails were raised again.
They began to look down on Yazhou.
They feel that they are noble and powerful and should stand with Lao Ou.
They even had an illusion that they could dominate the entire Yazhou with their strong economic and industrial strength and realize the dream that they had not achieved with their bayonets in the past.
This is also why after their relations with China were normalized in the early 70s, they began to desperately influence China, occupying its market through loans and influencing it by cultivating the so-called Japan-knowers.
They have big ambitions!
Unfortunately, the layout of the foot basin had just begun when the dragon began to take off under the leadership of Wang Haoran.
In just a few years, the dragon has been rubbing its feet on the ground in many industrial fields.
The foot basin is now in a period of reluctance.
Wang Haoran knew this very well.
