Because this is unrealistic. After all, other companies do not have our huge funds, nor our huge R&D capabilities.
Under this circumstance, we, Shuguang Technology, are a company determined to break the monopoly of foreign technology and resolve domestic substitution.
We should take the initiative to solve the problems of domestic computers instead of passively waiting for others to solve them! "
In this regard, Lin Chen's other apprentice Huang Hua also nodded in agreement:
"Yes, we cannot be forced to wait for others to solve the problem of developing domestic computers. This is not realistic.
After all, whether it is computer chips or computer graphics cards, to be honest, it is impossible to get a result without hundreds of millions of Xia Yuan.
In this case, there is really no other company except us that has the strength to solve the problem of domestic computers!
As for the lack of profits, we can only say that the boss’s purpose in establishing Sugon Technology was to break the foreign technology blockade and solve the dream of domestic substitution.
In this case, it doesn't matter if the profits are scarce. Even if you don't make a penny, it's still worth it. "
Huang Hua knew very well what Lin Chen wanted. After all, he and Lin Chen had been together for almost two years.
So Huang Hua also knew that Lin Chen didn't really care about money. What Lin Chen really cared about was whether he could realize Daxia's dream of becoming a technologically powerful nation.
"well said."
Facing Huang Hua's words, Lin Chen also smiled and praised.
Then he glanced around at everyone present, especially at Sales Director Li Jianqiang:
"The purpose of establishing Sugon Technology is to break the foreign technology blockade and solve the problem of domestic substitution. In this case, the profit is not what I care about, and it is not what we should care about."
At this point, Lin Chen paused for a moment, and then said with a serious face:
"So this time we have to get involved in the computer processor industry."
After hearing what Lin Chen said, the senior executives at the scene naturally had no objections. After all, Lin Chen had already made up his mind, and they could not continue to say anything.
Moreover, Sugon Technology’s current financial strength does not mean that it cannot support R&D. If Lin Chen wants to do it, then he can do it.
At this time, a senior executive at the scene spoke slowly and asked:
"What are we going to do? How many cores are there in the computer? Are we going to go to the level of domestic replacement of core components, or are we going to go to the level of coverage of our own computer system?"
The senior executives of the company at the scene fell silent for a while after hearing this, because this is indeed a problem.
If you want to solve the problem of computer replacement, you have to do core replacement, such as replacing Intel and .D CPUs with domestic CPUs.
Another example is Sugon Technology, which directly developed its own standard core equipment such as CPU and graphics card to form a new computer system, and finally competed with the X86 computer system.
Among them, both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The first way is to directly own a large and mature computer system and software game ecosystem, without the need for consumers to hesitate when buying your computer.
After all, if you develop your own standard CPU and graphics card, there will definitely be no games or software. In the end, even if your computer processor is very powerful, consumers will not buy your computer.
But there are also advantages to establishing your own system, that is, you can directly bypass a lot of technical patent barriers that may exist or not. It can be said that it is easy to draw on a blank sheet of paper.
The performance of the computer developed in this way must be very powerful. After all, the X86 computer system has a history of decades, and both the instruction set and the historical burden are very huge.
Taking the X86 computer processor as an example, the latest processor requires special compatibility design in order to be compatible with previous software and games.
The final result of these compatibility designs is that many transistors on the computer are used for compatibility and cannot be used to fully improve performance.
In this case, developing X86 instruction set processors is equivalent to dancing with shackles.
But they are all alone and without any burden, trying their best to improve performance. In the end, it would be weird if the X86 computer can win in terms of performance.
Therefore, both methods have the benefits of both methods and have their own advantages and disadvantages.
However, in the current situation of Sugon Technology, the first way, that is, to make domestic CPUs beat Intel CPUs is the most suitable.
After all, it is good to build your own computer system from scratch. In terms of performance, abandoning the historical burden can make the performance of the computer processor very powerful, but in the future if the computer cannot be sold, what can you do?
A computer is not a piece of hardware, but a product that combines software and hardware. As long as the hardware is powerful, it is useless without software.
Moreover, the current goal of Sugon Technology is not to achieve complete subversion, but to achieve independent control of domestic computer core components.
Let domestic CPUs replace foreign CPUs, and domestic graphics cards replace foreign graphics cards, so that domestic replacement can be completed seamlessly.
So under this thought, Lin Chen slowly said:
"Considering that the current X86 computer system has achieved absolute monopoly, our next goal in entering the computer industry is to complete the replacement of core computer parts.
Use our developed Sugon CPU, Sugon graphics card, Sugon computer system, etc. to defeat and replace the core computer components of overseas companies. "
Hearing this, people at the scene nodded slightly to express their understanding. They already knew what to do next.
So they then discussed with Lin Chen how to develop their own core computer accessories and contribute their own wisdom.
Of course, when it comes to research and development of computer CPUs, chipsets, graphics cards, memory, motherboards, etc., the person who is really responsible for this is Ni Guangnan, the person in charge of Sugon R&D Center, not the senior executives on site.
After all, the senior executives on site in R&D don’t understand and can’t get involved. They can only assist in this matter so that it can be completed faster and solve the worries of R&D.
For example, they discussed how to obtain the corresponding X86 instruction set and other basic technology patent authorizations, and officially have the foundation to intervene in the computer industry.
Finally, after several rounds of intense discussions, Sugon Technology decided to approach Wandao Weisheng Company, the world's third largest computer processor manufacturer, and directly spend money to acquire that company's processor division.
If this matter is really completed, Sugon Technology will directly own many X86 instruction set technology patents and can develop its own computer processor based on these many X86 instruction set technology patents.
Among them, because they are also processors with the X86 computer instruction set, the domestic computer processors developed by Sugon Technology only have powerful performance and good compatibility.
This will allow consumers and even machine manufacturers to choose Sugon Technology's computer CPUs. After all, as long as there is no problem with compatibility, who would refuse a domestic computer processor with stronger performance! (End of chapter)
