Is it okay to not do anything after rebirth?

The plan was decided, and Zhiming no longer wanted to worry about staying in his own country. He wanted to go back quickly and arrange how to safely transport those precision instruments from Xiangjiang to the mainland in August.

Just when he was about to book a flight, Yamada Ichiro and a group of people wanted to talk to Smith about an important matter.

Smith did not hide his secrets and asked Na Zhiming if he was interested in listening together. Of course Na Zhiming was interested. He was not only interested in this project of these people, he was also interested in all of his projects at this time. .

Yamada Ichiro enthusiastically introduced the five people he brought to Smith and Na Zhiming, namely the presidents and vice presidents of Fujitsu, nec, Hitachi, Toshiba and Mitsubishi Electric.

Then Ichiro Yamada went straight to the point and said that these companies have the idea of ​​investing in chip companies in Mexico. I wonder if Smith is interested in cooperating.

As soon as he said this, Na Zhiming suddenly remembered a piece of information.

In 64, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Italy selected semiconductor experts with comprehensive knowledge and coordination capabilities for the entire IC process from design, production to testing from its affiliated Institute of Electronic Technology. They took the lead in organizing Italy's largest Five computer companies, Fujitsu, NEC, Hitachi, Toshiba and Mitsubishi Electric, formed the "Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit Technology Research Group", whose main goal is to develop and manufacture the most advanced vlsi memory chips, especially 256k and [-]k dynamic The underlying technology necessary for random access memory (DRAM).

In the early [-]s, with the development of the computer industry in developed countries such as the United States, the market demand for DRAM reached rapid growth.

Because Japanese DRAMs are leading in design and process technology, and are superior to other countries in the world in terms of product quality, price, and delivery time, many American computer manufacturers also began to adopt Japanese DRAMs, which led to the popularity of Japanese DRAMs in the 80s. Its share of the global market continued to rise, surpassing the United States for the first time in [-], and reaching its peak in [-] ([-]%).

By 53, Italy's global market share had declined, reaching 37%, but it still exceeded the United States' [-]%.

In the [-]s, Italy's semiconductor industry entered a period of decline due to sanctions imposed by the United States.

In fact, the first time the United States imposed sanctions on Italy’s semiconductor industry was in June last year.

The beautiful country launched the first 301 investigation into the Italian semiconductor industry, and later reached the first semiconductor agreement this year, requiring Italy to expand the products of foreign semiconductor companies into the Italian market and monitor the price situation of the Italian semiconductor industry.

And now, it happens to be the time when the Italian government and companies have just signed a semiconductor agreement.

In fact, last year when Na Zhiming heard that the U.S. Semiconductor Industry Association had filed an application accusing Japan of having market access barriers in the semiconductor field, he vaguely wondered if there was an opportunity to introduce technologies, including those from Italy, into the Fuxing City Development Zone. But just think about it and forget that you don’t have such ability yet.

But now Zhiming has encountered such an opportunity. He really couldn't find anything after running through iron shoes, and it took no effort at all!

He also saw the semiconductor agreement just signed by the United States and Italy in June this year. The time period is five years and it mainly includes two contents:

(1) The Italian government must support and assist foreign semiconductor manufacturers to enter the Italian market.

Requiring the Italian government to establish a specialized agency to support or assist foreign semiconductor manufacturers in their sales in Italy is intended to strengthen communication and understanding between Italian consumers and foreign semiconductor manufacturers.

(2) The Japanese and U.S. governments jointly monitor the prices of semiconductor products and require the Italian government to supervise the costs and prices of products exported to the United States specified in the agreement, while the U.S. government has the right to initiate anti-dumping investigations at any time.

Oops! Na Zhiming felt contempt in his heart.

Under such a mechanism, Italian enterprises must submit the cost, export price and other information of designated products to the Italian Ministry of International Trade and Industry according to certain procedures. Then the Ministry of International Trade and Industry will, based on the laws of the country, impose restrictions on export products priced below cost. Take appropriate measures.

This means that domestic semiconductor (mainly memory) manufacturers in Italy have been completely deprived of their freedom to operate, and the process except for intellectual property rights is completely under the supervision of the Japanese and American governments.

Seeing this, Na Zhiming secretly guessed in his heart that the bosses in front and behind the scenes of these companies no longer dare to care about the vigorous development of the semiconductor industry in their country, but they feel that the future of this industry is really a huge cake, so they think of going abroad. The number of development paths.

But Na Zhiming thought about it carefully in his mind, and in his impression, it seems that the semiconductor company originally intended to do so did not form any influence abroad.

Although their semiconductor industry was not always restricted by the beautiful country, it was actually curbed at its peak moment. In the end, it was even worse than our treasure island and South Korea.

Then they must have heard about Smith's cooperation with Sony when they came here this time. They felt that Smith, as a businessman from the Caribbean, might be a client they were looking forward to working with, so they came to negotiate with Ichiro Yamada.

Na Zhiming's mood at this time could really be said to be surging, and the thoughts that had long since disappeared when he first received the news last year surged in his heart again.

When he was planning the Fuxing City chip company, he had thought that China's chip technology was now lagging behind the world's most advanced technology, with a gap of about thirty years. If Batumi did not pay special attention to it now, At that time, if we introduced the technology of a group of advanced companies, we would really have no chance in the future.

The semiconductor industry, especially the chip industry, is characterized by short R&D windows and rapid product iterations. Companies with first-mover advantages have a very obvious "winner-take-all" status (especially heavy-asset companies). Therefore, the long-term "top-down" Policy support is particularly important.

Intel monopolized the personal computer microprocessor market in just a few years in the early [-]s, and other competitors failed to catch up, let alone surpass, for a long time.

Without strong support from the national government, it will be difficult for semiconductor companies (especially manufacturing companies) to rely on their own financial and technical capabilities to overcome the industry cycle and achieve continuous huge investments in technology and equipment.

The person negotiating with Smith on behalf of the five companies was the president of Fujitsu, named Junichiro Fuji.
