Simulation: Great Power Technology

Ye Zhou's proposal is only a preliminary proposal. The actual source of these two proposals is actually Ye Zhou's talent as a planner. After he spent enough time to understand the current situation of the international chip industry and the basic principles of international economic and trade, he thought China will automatically rely on intuition to screen out these two key factors.

What he has to do is to deduce execution strategies and principles based on these two key elements, which is many times simpler than forward reasoning.

His proposal aroused extensive discussion at the venue. Most people believed that this idea was wild, but it was a ruthless move to get rid of the price war and completely break the game.

After the meeting, some of the top economists in the country sat together and began to analyze the minutes of the received seminars.

However, in reality, all their eyes were only on Ye Zhou's two suggestions.

As for the suggestions of others, either because they are mature enough to not need further analysis; or the implementation strategy is too large to draw conclusions in a short time, so there is no need for discussion at this impromptu gathering.

"Long story short, you have all seen Ye Zhou's suggestion. It is very clear and the execution logic is self-consistent. To a certain extent, the solution he proposed really cuts into the pain points of the international chip market."

"I won't say any extra mandarin and polite words. I personally agree with his suggestion."

The speaker is Wang Jian, whose main focus is international trade and behavioral economics. Among all people, he has the most thorough understanding of Ye Zhou's establishment.

From his point of view, Ye Zhou's suggestion was like a swordsman who was gifted but never trained, and a sword he stabbed at will achieve the effect of returning to the basics and getting to the point.

Patent authorization and confidentiality commitment, although these two suggestions seem to be unrelated, they are indeed interdependent in the lowest level of logic, as Ye Zhou said.

In other words, the two initiatives are barriers to each other, and if either one is challenged, the other can justify its name.

"I agree with Pharaoh. The situation we are facing now is very dangerous, and we can no longer adopt the old strategy gently, because we don't have the time to make arrangements."

"The change of hands in chip technology is a shift of strategic advantage for our enemies, who will never sit back and watch us expand."

"According to our inference, the countermeasures the other party may take include but are not limited to supporting rivals, price wars, trade blockades against other countries, technology replacement, third-party financing, interest-free loans...etc. . This series of means requires a huge consumption of resources and international credibility."

"We could of course adopt the same strategy as them, but that would be detrimental to our future expansion plans."

"I personally think that these resources should be put into more useful places, for example, the funds used to provide third-party financing and interest-free loans can obviously be turned into trial production of 3nm and sub-nanometer lithography machines. go."

"After all, we already have technical documents, and the trial production will only consume manpower and economic costs."

Cui Zhiyuan, who was sitting in front of Wang Jian, agreed.

His main direction is political economy, and he also considers this aspect.

"Both of you are right, but I still think that such a plan is risky. Even if it is done, it should be done with caution."

"If nothing else, let's talk about confidentiality commitments. If we want to highlight our advantages, it means that we need to tear up our face with the other party, and we must use our country's credit as a guarantee to accuse the other party's business company of leaking secrets. question."

"I think this kind of action is inappropriate -- I'm not referring to such vain things as etiquette and tolerance, but to say that this is an action that prematurely exposes one's cards."

Several people in the conference room nodded in unison. Although most of them have basically agreed with Ye Zhou's suggestion, it is undeniable that the two proposals he proposed are too radical. backlash.

"Is there a way to avoid the risk?"

"There must be, but to be honest, you asked me to say it now, I can't say it so easily. This is a strategy that requires refined layout and long-term preparation. Don't look at the simplicity of the boy named Ye Zhou, but it is practical. In the past, he just skipped the execution process and just talked about the result. The actual most difficult strategy design still has to fall on our heads."

It was Cui Zhiyuan who spoke, and the others couldn't help but laugh when they heard his half-truths.

"Aren't we doing this? What the hell, Cui, do you still want him to give you an execution strategy report?"

"That's not it! The chip manufacturing documents he took out were full of hard drives. Why did they start to perfunctory when they arrived at our place? Isn't this favoring one over the other!"

"They're not professional! It's good to be able to put forward these two pieces of advice. If we were to discuss it, I'm afraid we don't know how long it will take to determine the next direction."

Cui Zhiyuan took a sip from the teacup, smiled and said:

"I'm joking. To be honest, this young man is very unusual, that is, he focused his energy on engineering. If he chose economics at the beginning, I am afraid that his future achievements will not lose to you and me."

"Well, I also feel this way. But engineering is better, and industry saves the country. Those of us who are engaged in theory and retreat, don't be envious of others."

"It's okay if you don't envy him. I heard that he has a younger sister named Ye Lan, who is also quite talented?"

Wang Jian asked with great interest.

"It's a talent. When I was at the headquarters with Chen Hao and the others, I heard that she was tossing about financial models all day long. Then I heard from Chen Hao just before the meeting just now that the little girl has been controlling the Blackstone Fund by herself. The logic works out, and it's pretty awesome."

"Is it all calculated, or a part of it?"

"That must be part of it!"

After Cui Zhiyuan answered with a smile, he continued:

"Although it is only a part, it is not easy to complete such an analysis independently, at least the level is comparable to several top graduate students I have contacted with. Oh yes, the most important part is here, you know her Who gave the idea?"

"...Ye Zhou, you're really not doing well at this point."

"Is it that easy to guess? Damn, it doesn't matter. In short, you should know why I am jealous, right? Such a person who has never studied economics systematically can accurately point out the key indicators of financial market operations, and then again today Are you not envious of these two suggestions for us to stay and discuss?"

"Well, it's just that I'm a little older, and it's not appropriate to change careers."

The old man beside him said solemnly.

"What's the matter! Just take a look, he has to do more important things. Let's not gossip, so we have reached an agreement today?"

"Agreement has been reached. Let's take his suggestion. Let us divide the work. First, we will take out the general outline and try to report it to the top as soon as possible!"

.....

A few hours later, the man in the small red building received the executive outline submitted by the economists. He just read it once and signed his name on it.

For the people below, they were limited by their perspective, and probably only thought that this was a bit of a deviant suggestion, but he himself noticed the key word that Ye Zhou mentioned in his speech.

"Asymmetric Strategies".

Indeed, what the young man named Ye Zhou proposed was an asymmetrical strategy, which has never been an unfamiliar idea during the decades of his silent cultivation.

Whether it is the strategic missile plan, the submarine plan, or the later island chain defense plan, they are all based on this strategy.

Now, the young man just wants to apply this idea to a more subtle business game.

This is not a departure from the classics at all, but a lineage.

It was at this moment that his interest in this young man rose again.

He picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number, and said to the other side:

"As for the use of this young comrade Ye Zhou, I think it can be appropriately relaxed."

"Yes, there is no need to announce it on a formal occasion, but in private, you can give him more room to play freely."

"Leading team No. 0 will pay the bill."
