Global monopoly of technology

Many people in the industry and the media have obtained the first edition of the physical book "Inevitable", and after reading it, they have also published their thoughts on the media platform.

Among them, "Silicon Valley" magazine commented on the book the next day:

["Inevitable" wonderfully commented on the inevitable trend of current technological development, and provided a very forward-looking vision and guidance for the development of the global technology industry.

With the passage of time, overseas translated versions are also available. The comment of the "Daily Mail" is this:

[Inevitability published by Luo Sheng is a must-read book for IT practitioners and investors in 2009.

For a while, this book has become the focus of heated discussions in the industry, especially in the investment and IT technology circles. It is extremely popular, and even for those who are enthusiastic about Luo Sheng, the book "Inevitable" is simply a treasure. same.

Naturally, the praise that followed was endless. Luo Sheng's act of sharing must be welcomed by the whole world, but it was the North American authorities who did not welcome him.

Suddenly there was such a great man in China, who was still so young, and it made a large group of old and beautiful politicians hate it.

But Wall Street loves Luo Sheng more and more, without him, because Luo Sheng can bring them huge returns.

It is not so much that I love Luo Sheng more and more, as it is more and more love for him to bring a lot of dollar bills.Luo Sheng also knows this, but it's pretty good. His pattern is that all friends from the left, center, and right are made.

This series of factors are all feedback that investors are extremely expecting to throw money to Shengfeng Capital. Now many speculations are whether Shengfeng Capital will enter the twelve major trends described in "Inevitable."

...

"Overseas publishers have been negotiated. The book "Inevitable" was printed and distributed overseas in 37 languages ​​at the end of this year. It is estimated that 4.5 million copies will be distributed globally this year. Amazon is already available for pre-order. The data here is very eye-catching , It must sell well."

At the Blue Coast Company, Qin Weimu came to Luo Sheng's office. He is in this company at the moment, and he has not yet engaged in research and development.

"How is the feedback?" Luo Sheng asked.

"Feedback?" Qin Weimu thought for a while and Yan Zhan smiled: "Feedback is that your aura is more eye-catching. The majority of netizens have officially named you the'Prophecy Emperor'."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Just forget the excitement of eating melon netizens. What I care more about is how many technology practitioners this book can affect. This is very important for my next layout."

Well, a lot of tool people are needed, and they are willing tool people.

Qin Weimu said: "The focus of the next work is to give away money. So far, Shengfeng Capital has raised more than 300 billion yuan. You don't need to use it as soon as possible. Don't you feel bad about devaluation every day?"

"No, the next work is more important than this." Luo Sheng looked at Qin Weimu who was in front of him. As soon as his voice fell, he took him into his arms without waiting for the other party to react.

Qin Weimu reacted and immediately angrily resisted and warned: "This is a company, you don't want to make an inch!"

Luo Sheng: "Then take the first step, it's okay."

Qin Weimu: "..."

In the end, I got into the ruler, and a man must not believe it.

...

After the incident, Qin Weimu rested for a while, then glanced around, she seemed to be looking for something.

It didn't take long to find the materials she had brought over. Sitting by herself, a shallow apple mark was already printed on it.

Qin Weimu threw the document to Luo Sheng: "This is the material that I have compiled and summarized the current status of the domestic integrated circuit industry, covering IC design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, power devices, MEMS, materials and equipment factories. Take a look."

After speaking, she took out sheets of tissues and began to sort herself silently.

Luo Sheng immediately opened the file at a glance.

As a semiconductor material, silicon is the most used element, and the main source of silicon is sand. Therefore, it is not rigorous and grounded that as a semiconductor with the highest level of human process technology, the process is how to turn sand into a chip.

The first step is the smelting and purification of silicon.After the pure silicon is extracted, single crystal silicon ingots must be prepared, then sliced ​​and polished to produce silicon wafers. This requires extremely advanced chemical technology. The Japanese are the best in the world.

Generally, semiconductor IC manufacturers directly purchase ready-made silicon wafers for subsequent production, and then make chips with circuits on the silicon wafers. A total of diffusion, photolithography, etching, ion implantation, film growth, and The seven production steps of polishing and metallization.

The refinement of this series of steps actually requires more than a thousand manufacturing processes, and then hundreds of millions of transistors are born in such a small semiconductor chip.

The final step is to test the packaging and pack it for retail.

The production process of a chip is simple to say, but it is absolutely difficult to make. The investment of a complete chip production line is just a starting point, and it will cost billions of yuan to make the bottom. Among them, the lithography machine and so on account for the majority. Production equipment.

In addition to the "Moore's Law" of the semiconductor industry, the iteration speed is very fast, and the chips you have finally produced have been eliminated after one or two years. The investment of billions and tens of billions of dollars is directly lost, so no one wants to Do this.

Most of the key technical aspects of the semiconductor industry are controlled by Western countries such as Europe and the United States. In order to limit the development of the semiconductor industry, the most advanced production equipment abroad, such as lithography machines, is not sold but is strictly restricted. Obsolete products that are behind many generations.

Moreover, even with equipment, it may not be possible to produce chips.

Since the Japanese collapsed in the semiconductor industry, the industry has been completely dominated by the Americans. At present, except for China, all the manufacturing powers in the world have given up competing with the Americans in the semiconductor industry.

Because it's so difficult...

On the contrary, as long as you don't challenge the US's leading position in the semiconductor industry, you can take you to play together. So now the giants in the industry have joined the North American Semiconductor Industry Association, and leading companies in other countries have become one of its international members.

For those companies, instead of being beaten to death by the Americans, it would be better to hang out with American dad and have a bite of soup afterwards. That is also rib soup, and occasionally you can eat some meat.

Well, since you don't take me to play, you can always sell things to me and make things happen by myself. The price is easy to negotiate, and you can set the price.

Nor!

That's really no way, you can only start anew.

Embarking on a path of technological independence is a reluctant choice.
