Tosla - consists of the merger of many closely related companies that produce similar goods or products.
It aims to monopolize the sales market, compete for raw material origin and investment scope, and strengthen competitiveness to obtain high monopoly profits.
Konzern - transliterated from Konzern, meaning "community of relevant interests", is one of the advanced forms of monopoly organizations.
It is composed of industrial enterprises, trading companies, banks, transportation companies and insurance companies. It has the same purpose as the Tosla Group, aiming to monopolize the sales market, compete for the origin of raw materials and investment scope, in order to obtain high monopoly profits.
In fact, judging from its nature, it is true to say that the Chip Alliance is Tosla, and it does have a posture of evolving into Concern.
Most of the products of members of the Chip Alliance are semiconductor electronic products. Basically, they cover more than 70% of all domestic IT hardware.
At first, this organization was just a small group run privately by some industry giants, universities, and research institutes such as Xinghuan Technology and Chrysanthemum Factory. Later, some domestic upstream parts and raw material supply manufacturers were also brought in by them.
Since then, the procurement costs of raw materials and components for downstream terminal companies have been greatly reduced, and upstream suppliers no longer have to worry about lack of orders, thus forming the prototype of a chip alliance.
Later, big players such as BBK, Biyadi, Gree, Pulian, and Hytera, which had a place in their own fields, were also jealous of Chen Yi's low upstream procurement costs and asked to join them, and their domestic upstream supply channels were also reduced. Was pulled in.
Since then, the entire chip alliance has been closely integrated with the upstream and downstream industrial chains of raw materials, parts processing, and end product assembly.
But there are other aspects outside production that are equally important.
Shunfeng Logistics has greatly speeded up the transportation of various products, as if it has opened up the two channels of Ren and Du.
Universal Bank and Lifa Insurance ensure the capital circulation of various enterprises and maximize the use of idle funds.
Penguin, whom Chen Yi specially recruited, is responsible for product promotion.
Coupled with the establishment of ele and the joining of Gome, the last piece of the terminal sales puzzle has finally been completed.
Starring Technology serves as an arbiter in the chip alliance. After all, in addition to a bunch of low-tech cash cows such as universal chargers, USB flash drives, battery cars, etc. in the early days, there are only no one later. This year's Starring first-generation mobile phone is a flagship product that has been seriously developed.
The main business of Xinghuan Technology is actually various raw material processing and hardware parts.
It’s just that the products and drones released for capital turnover at the beginning were too famous. Ordinary talents in the mainland knew the name of Starlink Technology. Basically, there was not much competition with the business of other members of the Chip Alliance, and even Also one of their main suppliers.
Therefore, Starring Technology, the "leader" recognized by all members of the chip alliance, only plays a role in unifying various standards. Each member will not take the initiative to worry about the internal affairs. At most, Dangdang Neighborhood Committee Auntie will regulate the differences between certain members. contradiction.
Because of unified planning, the efficiency of all aspects of raw material procurement, production and processing, transportation, and advertising has been improved to the extreme.
For example, a certain member's payment for a batch of goods has not yet arrived, but he urgently needs funds to expand production, purchase raw materials, or develop related products.
In this case, Worldwide Bank can advance the money to the other party first, which can save a lot of time. As for the task of asking for money, it is left to Worldwide Bank. Anyway, there are not many people in the mainland who can rely on Chen Yi's account.
Even if you meet some old people who really don't come back, the money lost will be very impressive, but the old people themselves, haha. . .
For another example, when a certain member was developing a new product and was stuck by a bottleneck, he checked the internal database of the chip alliance integrated by Chen Yi and found that a certain product produced by another company was similar to his own. Ma Niubu's products have also encountered similar problems.
But the other party has already solved this bottleneck using a certain technology. At this time, he can directly use this technology to cross the bottleneck, but he has to pay a certain amount of remuneration to one of the members.
But these rewards are only a drop in the bucket compared to the time and research funds that may be wasted.
There are many similar examples. In short, members of the chip alliance have enjoyed great conveniences, whether it is channels, technology sharing, or solving capital turnover problems, etc.
But the fact that there is no free lunch in the world obviously applies everywhere. While enjoying some conveniences, you must also assume corresponding obligations.
Chen Yi will issue various tasks to each member of the chip alliance from time to time, but most of them are scientific research tasks in their respective fields, either to improve a certain process, to improve a certain new component, or to The latter is the development of a new material.
Each member who completes a task will receive a certain amount of points, which can be used to purchase various channels, information, technology, etc. for a fee.
In addition, all members will be reviewed once a year. If the points earned do not reach the prescribed limit, they will be kicked out of the league.
The first year's points review is valid for three years. That is to say, if a member is a task maniac and gets a lot of points in the first year, then there is no need to worry about the review in the second and third years. You can directly Pass, but the calculation will start again in the fourth year.
However, these tasks performed by Chen Yi were not very difficult. Chen Yi and the others broke down and then decomposed the major problems in the semiconductor industry chain and the machine tool industry chain into numerous small problems.
The members of the chip alliance cannot solve big problems, but small problems can be solved easily if they work hard.
If they really feel that their abilities are insufficient and the task is very difficult, members can continue to split the relevant problems into several small tasks and solve them with other members, and then continue to take on other new tasks themselves.
As long as you do it seriously, the annual review is actually not a big problem. If it doesn't work, you can still use points or tickets to request off-site assistance.
Anyway, Chen Yi doesn't care how all the members solve the problem, as long as the task is completed.
By overcoming problems one by one, and slowly adding up, the chip alliance allowed China's chip industry to barely catch up with the pace of European and American countries.
It was not until the 90nm chip technology came out that Chen Yi truly breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that China had already occupied a hole in the chip, and it was no longer possible for Western countries to impose a patent blockade.
And these technologies can also be applied to various other fields, which is how Xinghuan Technology’s pile of cash cows came about.
In fact, many products do not have high requirements compared to the technology required for chips and machine tools. If the standards are significantly lowered, it will be a convenient and practical cash cow.
After all, when it comes to chips and machine tools, you still have to make money, so you can’t just leave so much technology sitting there and gathering dust.
Although under Chen Yi's guidance, the Chip Alliance has kept a low profile, this time it made too much big news.
Therefore, the topic of whether the chip alliance has violated antitrust laws has become a hot topic.
Yangcheng, on the DOA floor of Xinghuan Technology Headquarters.
"Boss, this can't go on like this. Someone is obviously setting the pace."
Regarding the current discussion on the Internet about whether the Chip Alliance should be sanctioned, Shao Anna keenly felt that there was a pair of invisible hands controlling everything.
Chen Yi curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Who started the topic first?"
"Oh, he's a student from Jiaotong University in Shanghai."
Chen Yi shrugged and said helplessly: "It seems that brother has no other intentions. He may have been taken advantage of by some people. The man behind the scenes is very cunning."
"Then what should we do? Mr. Ren and the others are waiting for our reply." Shao Anna asked about Chen Yi's solution.
Chen Yi thought for a while and said, "It's okay. It's okay to argue online. It's just free advertising. You can just reply to Mr. Ren and the others directly and leave it to me to solve the problem."
"Oh, okay, boss."
After Shao Anna got the answer, she left. Chen Yi watched a well-known economist on the TV screen describing the harm of the Tosla Group to the national economic production.
He curled his lips disdainfully.
After they developed the chip, it should have been exciting news, but now the topic has been directed to the chip alliance's violation of antitrust laws.
If Chen Yigang had traveled through time, such remarks would have been made. All fools would know there was something fishy about it.
