Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grievances Chapter 28 Urging Talks
Before the reporter could react, Wang Yuanshan opened the venue with bodyguards and security staff. γReading.comγ
As soon as Wang Yuanshan's motorcade left the Taipei International Convention and Exhibition Center, the press conference exploded. The reporters who came back to their senses took out their mobile phones or passed on the news they had just gotten to the rear in other ways. Television stations and websites that responded quickly made key reports at the first time, and newspapers that were a little sluggish immediately adjusted their layouts.
Although many people expected that Taipower and "Huaxin" would release major news during the exhibition, no one expected that Wang Yuanshan would throw out a "blockbuster ****" at the first time.
At the press conference of Taipower Group, which lasted only one minute, Wang Yuanshan announced three major news.
First, Taipower and the "China Institute of Electronic Information" have officially signed a cooperation agreement to obtain the exclusive right to use "neural network computer technology" for 238 (paid in annual installments); Every year, it provides a huge amount of scientific research funds for the "China Institute of Electronic Information" and funds dozens of scientific research projects, so as to obtain the exclusive right to use it first.
Second, Taipower will launch a "neural network computer" within 3 years, striving to make its market share exceed 30% by 2035 and eliminate electronic computers by 2C45. Starting at the end of the month, Taipower will reduce the price of all products by 15% to 50% to expand its market share.
Third, Taipower will recommend the "Commercial Computer Platform Popularization Program" to all machine manufacturers to increase Taipower Group's market share in the field of machine manufacturing.
The three major measures are aimed at the U.S. electronics industry led by Intel Corporation.
Before the key technology of "quantum computer" has achieved breakthrough and has commercial application value, "neural network computer" is the main direction of computer development in the future. Before 2015, the Republic and the United States invested huge amounts of scientific research funds in the field of "neural network computers" and increased development efforts, and the "China Institute of Electronic Information" in the country was one of the main leaders in this field. Taipower Group signed a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with the "China Electronic Information Research Institute", successfully occupying the commanding heights of the "neural network computer" and launching a technical challenge to Intel Corporation.
In the name of fast "neural network computer" promotion speed, the price of all products will be reduced, which is nothing more than another round of price war.
The real focus is on the third measure, and the group has finally issued an "ultimatum" to the whole machine manufacturer.
After the acquisition of AMDD. Taipower Group has become the world's only graphics chip supplier.
Although in order to avoid being hit by anti-monopoly laws. Taipower Group sold AMDD's graphics chip subsidiary, ATI, to Huaxin Group. Only the female IDIA company remained. But through the "Huaxin Group" holdings. Taipower Group has an unchallenged hegemony in the graphics chip market.
All the time. The whole machine manufacturers are hovering between Taipower Group and Intel Corporation.
The mainstream of the whole machine market is still Intel's ground processor and Taipower Group's ground graphics chip.
At the beginning of the year. Wang Yuanshan let out the wind. The whole machine manufacturer can't be a wall grass. Taipower Group will definitely take action in the relevant areas.
Action was taken, and it came very violently.
According to the "Commercial Computer Platform Popularization Plan" announced by Taipower Group, the graphics chips of ATII and female IDIA will no longer support Intel's new technology, and if it is matched with Intel's commercial processors, the performance will be greatly reduced, and only with the commercial processors of the "Huaxin Group" can the best results be achieved. As a result, machine manufacturers can only choose the commercial processors of "Huaxin Group".
Taking this step, the price war between electricity and Intel has evolved into a "control war".
Because the graphics chip developed by Intel has poor performance, it can only gain some market share in the low-end market at most, and it is difficult to break into the lucrative high-end market, so it is generally estimated in the industry that the vast majority of machine manufacturers will change their ways, join the camp led by Taipower Group, and gradually abandon Intel's commercial processors. Because the whole machine market (including portable computers) accounts for 75% of the total computer market share and 88% in the commercial market, the choice of the whole machine manufacturer will determine the final victory or defeat of Taipower Group and Intel Corporation.
Some people are also worried that Wang Yuanshan will play with fire**.
If Intel develops graphics chips that are comparable to ATII and female IDIA, with its leading edge in commercial processors, it is easy for most machine manufacturers to turn to Intel.
In other words, Wang Yuanshan is betting with Intel.
As long as Taipower Group brings the "neural network computer" to the market before Intel develops high-performance graphics chips, and reverses the disadvantage of "Huaxin Group" in commercial processors, Intel will definitely lose. Conversely, Taipower is likely to lose most of its market share.
Of course, there are more people who are optimistic about Taipower Group. The first is that "neural network computers" will definitely be popularized within 3 to 5 years, gradually replacing electronic computers, and Intel does not have any obvious advantages in this field; The second is that the Taipower Group has sufficient funds to ensure its normal development in the next three to five years, even if it loses part of the market due to radical moves, as long as the Taipower Group can occupy the commanding heights of the future computer, Tel will definitely lose. To put it simply, as long as Taipower Group launches the first commercial "neural network processor" within 3 to 5 years, it will not lose; Intel is going to be a "neural network processor" with a graphics core
Only by making a major breakthrough can we ensure that we do not lose.
The shopping mall is the battlefield, and Wang Yuanshan sounded the horn of the general attack.
On the way home, Wang Yuanshan looked extremely relaxed, because he knew that whether it was the "patriotic businessmen" such as + Yanbo and Li Chengwen who supported Taipower behind the scenes, or the mainland government that gave full support to Taipower Group in terms of policy, they would not let Taipower Group lose this commercial war that would determine the hegemony of international commercial computers in the next few decades.
Thinking of these, Wang Yuanshan was not more emotional.
If it hadn't been for the decisive switch to the mainland back then, would Taipower Group have today's brilliant achievements?
Although some people predicted as early as the beginning of this century that whoever can occupy the mainland market will be able to occupy the global market, many Taiwan businessmen have not realized this, and more Taiwan businessmen have talked about the mainland's political issues.
A businessman is a businessman, what political issues do you talk about?
No matter how well Taiwan develops, it is only an island with a population of more than 20 million.
No matter how poorly developed the mainland is, there are still 100 million consumers.
Wang Yuanshan saw it very clearly, and only then was he able to surpass the enviable achievements of Taiwan businessmen.
The car stopped, and Wang Yuanshan's mood calmed down.
"Sir, Mr. + and Mr. Li have been waiting for you for a long time." The housekeeper opened the car door for Wang Yuanshan.
"How long have they been here?" Wang Yuanshan was surprised.
"It's been almost two hours, and I've invited them to the study."
"Prepare some drinks, wait......," Wang Yuanshan called the butler, "bring my bottle of champagne that has been hidden for thirty years, today is a day worth celebrating." β
The butler nodded, not too wordy.
Soon after Wang Yuanshan came to the study, the housekeeper brought the champagne.
"Lao +, Lao Li, this is the champagne I have treasured for 30 years." Wang Yuanshan took the wine bottle and poured 3~ cups in his hand, "Maybe you don't believe it, this bottle of wine was bought when I was on my honeymoon with my wife." At the beginning, I bought a total of three bottles, one bottle was drunk at my son's 100-day banquet, and the other bottle was drunk when 'Huaxin' was established, and only this bottle remained. β
+ Yanbo and Li Chengwen both showed surprised looks.
"It's a big day!" Wang Yuanshan smiled and handed the wine glass to the hands of + Yanbo and Li Chengwen, "I just announced the development strategy of Taipower Group at the press conference, and I believe that the news media around the world will report on it early tomorrow morning." β
"Don't wait until tomorrow, Dongxing TV and TV have just reported."
"So fast?" Wang Yuanshan was stunned for a moment.
+ Yanbo smiled and said: "Lao Wang, your actions are indeed too sudden, we didn't react when we saw the report, I believe that the CEO of Intel Corporation is on his way to the Capitol." β
"If that's the case, we deserve to drink champagne to celebrate." Wang Yuanshan raised his glass and said, "We celebrate in advance the early acquisition of Intel by Taipower Group. β
"We also want to celebrate the great achievements of the Chinese in the field of e-commerce." Li Chengwen added.
Wang Yuanshan nodded, took a small sip, and said: "Twenty years ago, no one believed that we could make commercial computer chips, and now no one cherishes our achievements in the field of commercial computer chips. Perhaps there are still many people who will not believe that we will defeat Intel, and in twenty years, I am afraid that no one will be pregnant. β
"Twenty years ago, no one believed that the Republic would be a world power on an equal footing with the United States."
+ Yanbo smiled slightly, and then Li Chengwen's words said: "Twenty years can change a lot of things, and I believe that it can also change the ideology of the people on both sides of the strait." β
Hearing this, Wang Yuanshan pressed down the intercom at hand and told the housekeeper not to let anyone come in and disturb him.
Taking this opportunity, Li Chengwen put the audio jammer he brought on the coffee table.
"After returning from Suzhou, I contacted the big leaders of several major associations on the island." Wang Yuanshan took the cigar box on the desk, and first scattered one for + Yanbo and Li Chengwen before lighting it for himself. "Although I didn't make the purpose clear, all the major associations believe that only by realizing national reunification can the interests of the descendants of Yan and Huang be safeguarded to the greatest extent. To be honest, all the major associations on the island are trying their best to turn them into regulars, and many of them are investing in the mainland. The question that everyone is most concerned about is not how to reunify, but whether the interests of the associations can be guaranteed after reunification. To put it simply, it is whether the interests of the members of the association can be guaranteed. β
"Lao Wang, do you think my interests have been jeopardized?"
Wang Yuanshan glanced at Li Chengwen, then shook his head with a smile.
"The mainland government doesn't care what we do before, but what we do in the future." Li Chengwen lit a cigar and said, "The peaceful realization of reunification is the long-cherished wish of all of us, and as long as we stand in the right place, promote national reunification, and play a positive role in maintaining social stability, the mainland government will certainly not crack down on social organizations on the island." β
Wang Yuanshan didn't seem to be very satisfied, after all, Li Chengwen's words were not guaranteed.
"We will contact the mainland government as soon as possible." + Yanbo knew Wang Yuanshan's thoughts very well, "If it is sure, it will be possible to facilitate a direct meeting between the island's associations and mainland officials as soon as possible." No matter what the issue is, as long as everyone agrees on the issue of peaceful reunification, they can bring it up for discussion. β
Hearing this, Wang Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to idian, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
