Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

The next day, the leader informed Zhao Ye that the land purchase passed the vote and 50 hectares of land around Lujiazui were sold to Wujiang Group.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked his leaders profusely, expressing that he would continue to work hard to earn foreign exchange for the country.

That afternoon, Zhao Ye signed a land sales agreement with the government.

Fortunately, the land around Lujiazui is relatively deserted, so relocation is relatively simple.

At this time, there are no nail-biting households. If the leader asks you to move, if you dare not to move, if you don’t move, it will hinder the construction of the country.

The government’s execution ability is super strong at this time!

Of course, the local residents are also relatively aware, and the conditions for relocation are also good.

"The leader asked us to move. Of course we are willing to move. It is our duty to support the country's construction! What's more, Wujiang Group not only compensates us for part of the funds, but also promises to build us beautiful modern buildings. In addition, it will also give us priority to join in. Work in Wujiang Factory. You don’t even know how envious people in other parts of Pudong were when they heard the news!!!” A middle-aged man who was relocated said to the people in the relocation management department with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, yeah, yes, you have high awareness. This can be regarded as your luck and you caught up with the good time."

"Yes, Pudong is very deserted. It would be great if we could move to Puxi!"

"You have a good idea. The new residential building is also here in Pudong, called "Huimin Community", so that you can go to Wujiang Factory to work. In addition, "Huimin Community" also has a shopping supermarket! Do you know about shopping supermarkets? It is a very large department store with almost everything in it. If you usually buy groceries, snacks, etc., you can go to the supermarket to buy them. The things there are cheaper than those sold in stores outside! "

The middle-aged man grinned: "I've heard people talk about supermarkets and stuff like that, but I've never seen them."

……

Liu Yinyin walked over to Zhao Ye's office and said softly: "Boss, 10 construction companies are already in place and construction has started!"

"Okay, I will go to the construction site to take a look when I have time." Zhao Ye replied.

In order to develop this newly purchased land as soon as possible, Zhao Ye contacted ten powerful domestic construction companies and asked them to come together to build a factory.

It only took about a week for countless construction equipment to be transferred to the area around Lujiazui, and thousands of construction workers began to get busy.

At this time, the sun was blazing, and the area around Lujiazui turned into a large construction site. The workers in short clothes and short sleeves were sweating profusely, but they still worked very hard.

The faster the project progresses, the greater the bonus.

Such a good thing is rarely seen in ordinary times, and only a wealthy and generous private company like Wujiang Group can have such a good thing.

thing.

Zhao Ye also really needs them to build the factory as soon as possible, and the expansion of Wujiang Factory's production is imminent.

Now, Wujiang Factory has implemented a "three shifts" system, where people take breaks but machines do not.

The production capacity of "Qiongqi Home Game Console" has exploded, with monthly output reaching 225 million units.

However, this production capacity is still not enough when facing the global market.

Selling 20 to 30 million game consoles a year is no problem.

FC has sold 70 to 80 million game consoles in just a few years.

The performance of "Qiongqi Home Game Console" is much better than that of FC. The game cartridge also has a picture enhancement chip MMC, and the games developed are also very classic. In addition, there is a linkage effect between cartoons and comics. Therefore, "Qiongqi" It is not a problem for home game consoles to catch up with FC.

Once the number of "Qiongqi home game consoles" continues to increase, Nintendo's third-party game developers will switch over. At that time, the offensive and defensive momentum was different!

Large-scale infrastructure construction has a great stimulating effect on the economy.

Wujiang Group has made outstanding contributions to Shanghai, which I won’t mention for the time being.

……

But he said that at this time, Loongson Design Company's memory chip design project had made great progress.

There are two main aspects of memory chip design and development, one is the development of memory, and the other is the development of flash memory.

The main differences between memory and flash memory are:

Flash memory is a form of electronically erasable programmable read-only memory that allows it to be erased or written multiple times during operation. It is mainly used for general data storage, such as memory cards and USB flash drives. Wujiang Group's products such as Hanka, typewriters, and game cassettes also use EPROM extensively.

Memory is one of the important components in the computer. It is the bridge between external memory and the CPU. Used to temporarily store calculation data in the CPU and data exchanged with external memories such as hard disks. As long as the computer is running, the CPU will transfer the data that needs to be calculated into the memory for calculation. When the calculation is completed, the CPU will send the results out. The operation of the memory also determines the stable operation of the computer.

This progress is mainly due to the independent research and development of EPROM chips, because Wujiang Group currently has a relatively large demand for EPROMs and always imports them from abroad, which wastes a lot of foreign exchange and is still expensive.

A small EPROM chip can be sold for tens of dollars.

The actual production cost is less than 10 yuan.

How could Zhao Ye endure being exploited by foreign chip companies, so when researching memory chips, he mainly developed flash memory. EPROM technology was relatively low, so he developed this first.

In the laboratory, everyone cheered.

Zhao Ye smiled and said: "We will conduct testing immediately, and then go to the wafer factory for tape-out, and strive to achieve mass production of EPROM chips as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Zhao Ye returned to the office. He was not dazzled by joy. EPROM was just the foundation. At this moment, his mind was thinking about what to do next.

It suddenly occurred to me that Toshiba was the first to propose the concept of flash memory, but did not take it seriously. Toshiba itself has bet on the current mainstream semiconductor memory DRAM - after all, this is a business that can earn Toshiba 2 million yen a day at its peak.

In 1984, Fujio Sugaoka's team published a paper on NOR flash memory at the IEEE International Electronic Components Conference (IEDM). The new invention immediately caught Intel's attention. They quickly contacted Toshiba and Sugaoka for this purpose, and took the lead in mass-producing NOR flash memory chips in 1988.

The concept of flash memory was first born in Toshiba, but the pioneer of the flash memory industry was Intel across the ocean.

This really made Fujio Sugaoka take a breath. From then on, he was determined to go all the way on flash memory.

The neglect of NOR flash memory did not make Shu Gang give up his research and development direction. In 1986, the unwilling Fujio Masuoka once again came to the forefront of his peers. He invented cheaper NAND flash memory, which was the kind that everyone used in mobile phones in his previous life.

"This opportunity is rare. Since Toshiba does not pay attention to flash memory technology, it seems that I can take the opportunity to buy Fujioka's team and NAND flash memory technology!!!"

The more Zhao Ye thought about it, the more excited he became, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime technology.

If you miss NAND flash memory technology, you will suffer a big loss.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ye immediately picked up the phone in his hand and called Rex Aiden, an expert in negotiation and acquisition. During the phone call, Zhao Ye chatted with him for a long time and expressed his importance to the Fujioka team and NAND flash memory technology. , asking him to buy the entire team and NADN technology.
