Chapter 46: Backwaters 1

Any high-tech company has a strict confidentiality system. It would be too much fun to disclose the research and development projects casually.
Although Huawei is Luo Jia's largest customer at present, this precedent is better not set.
However, Luo Jia thought again and again, Gong Xiangdong was eager to visit and tried his best to help him find a new office address. All of them revealed Huawei's current anxiety. It is better to listen to them first.
As a result, Luo Jia smiled, "Dean Gong, how are your 2012 labs recently?"
Hey ~
Qi Gong sighed deeply to the east, "How could it be good, this mobile phone war has hit so far, and the tragic degree has far exceeded everyone's expectations."
"Let me tell you this, Apple had three hundred billion dollars in cash reserves three months ago, and now there are only 270 billion dollars left."
Luo Jia shuddered, "Reliable?"
Ji Gong nodded eastward. "We have accurate sources inside Apple."
Luo Luojia didn't say anything, giant companies mixed sand with each other and sent commercial spies.
However, this news still surprised Luo Jia. Within three months, Apple Inc. consumed up to 30 billion US dollars in cash flow. It is certainly impossible to use all this money for marketing.
There is only one truth. They are secretly preparing a nuclear bomb, at all costs, to accelerate research and development.
Next, Gong Xiangdong's words also confirmed Luo Jia's guess.
"According to our information, Apple and Samsung are preparing a large project. In the past month, the number of charter flights from Seoul to Los Angeles has increased by 30 times. The two of them have kept visiting each other and sent a large number of engineers to each other's company. . "
"Not only us, all domestic counterparts are very anxious now. Although we are blessed by your star technology, we have temporarily taken the lead in terms of market share, but we cannot ignore that Samsung and Apple are the world's largest market capitalization companies. The resources and connections they have are not comparable to us. "
"This is an unequal war. Behind Samsung is the entire South Korea, and Apple, which is related to the glory of the Silicon Valley high-tech king, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, these giants are assisting in the open apple."
Wu Shazhan intervened and said, "Recently the news of Jinhua in southern Fujian being completely blocked by the United States, should you know?"
Luo Luojia nodded, feeling a little heavy.
Jinhua in South Fujian, Tsinghua Ziguang, Yangtze River Storage, Wan Gaoguanxin, these are the four important pieces in China's memory field.
Memory refers to memory chips and flash memory chips. The technology content of this thing is very high. How high is it?
So far, the four major factories in China's storage industry have invested hundreds of billions of dollars. From South Korea, Wanwan, Neon, the United States, thousands of engineers and R & D personnel have been dug, but so far, no one has come up with any. A persuasive product.
偶尔 Occasionally, DDR3 memory with purple cursors and a small number of flash memory chips can be seen in the market, which is the result of years of efforts of the four major manufacturers in the storage industry in China.
I was really sad when I said it, the money burned countless, but like a bottomless pit, I still don't know which day I can raise my eyebrows and exhale.
A layman will never know what life the engineers in storage are doing.
There is no technical information. Semiconductor raw materials are monopolized by Neon. Semiconductor design tools are monopolized by the United States. Equipment for manufacturing semiconductors is monopolized by Neon, Europe, and the United States. It is completely self-made.
Recently, good news finally came out. The four major storage factories in China may launch mass-produced products in the past two years. People in the circle embraced and celebrated, and they felt that the hard times had finally come to an end.
这 However, at this time, Jinhua in southern Fujian was banned. I do n’t know how Jinhua ’s engineers are feeling now.
Luo Jia grabbed his head. "Breaking the road of blockade and hegemony is like climbing a mountain. It is relatively easy to climb from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. The hardest thing is to climb to the top. Once you climb to the mountainside, what kind of wind, blizzard, these cricket moths They all came out. "
"The United States bans Jinhua, but it shows that Jinhua has done a good job and has made its opponents afraid."
Gong Xiangdong agreed with Luo Jia's judgment. "I heard industry people say that the four major storage factories stay up all night and work overtime every day. Many engineers are tired of being hospitalized. So hard work, the results are sooner or later, but suddenly Jinhua They were completely blocked, and I really feel sorry for them. "
After a pause, Gong Xiangdong said, "According to the news from Samsung, they may hold a joint press conference with Apple in July."
"What time?"
"July 16th."
Uh ~
After listening to Gong Xiangdong's words, Luo Jia jumped up from his chair!
I set the start time of the May storm on May 16th, and then on June 16th, I launched an epoch-making super camera.
Now, Samsung and Apple will hold a press conference on July 16th?
Fools also understand that this is provocation and they are going to take revenge!
"Do you know what products they are going to launch?" Luo Jia asked.
"This time they did a good job of confidentiality. At present we are not clear about their actions, but it is speculated that it should be related to the screen and storage, these two core components, but it does not rule out that they will be in other areas, and we are again Go to war. "Gong Xiangdong said.
Luo Jia frowned, pacing back and forth in the office.
After all, it is Samsung and Apple. Apple has almost the world's strongest design capabilities. Samsung has successfully surpassed Intel and topped the world's largest high-tech manufacturing giant. Both of them are good at software and one is good at hardware. Super giants can complement each other naturally.
It ’s a difficult situation to be opened, is it going to be pulled back by the opponent?
Luo Luojia will not be reconciled ~ EbookFREE.me ~ At this time, in any case, you must help the Big Four and hold the joint attack of Samsung and Apple.
At this time, another word from Gong Xiangdong made Luo Jia finally make up his mind.
"Yesterday, Opal quietly announced that the salary of all employees will be reduced by 20%."
Luo Luojia stopped and asked, puzzled, "Salary reduction? The war has just arrived in the Central Bureau. At this time, salary reduction is very morale."
Gong Xiangdong shrugged. "There is no way to not drop. This mobile phone war is too expensive. Waking up every morning is spending hundreds of millions of dollars. Our chief financial officer has white hair in just three months. It's more than half because of how many nights I can't sleep. "
"Samsung and Apple have hundreds of billions of dollars in reserves, behind which are supported by the nine major banks in South Korea and Wall Street, and we are fighting with them for the old point that has been difficult to save over the years."
"If Samsung loses, there will be huge Samsung Electronics, Samsung Real Estate, Samsung Insurance, Samsung Motors, Samsung Heavy Industries, Samsung Chemical, Samsung Hotels, Samsung Everland."
"Samsung Tyco even engages in military industry, even his mother's gunship and self-propelled artillery."
Gong Xiangdong paused. "And if we lose, we really don't even have underwear, and pay reduction is nothing. Once we lose this mobile phone war, millions of employees will lose their jobs, affecting countless people. normal family."
Luo Luojia nodded, this is indeed a war that can not afford to lose, breaking the backwater battle of mobile phone hegemony of overseas manufacturers.
"Follow me," Luo Jia said suddenly, wiping a touch of imperceptibility from his eyes.
"Where?"
"Lab, show you a little thing I'm working on." Luo Jia said.
