Chapter 620 High monopoly in high-tech industries
Liu Yuqi had a really in-depth understanding of the entire Chinese computer industry at Chenxing Computer. Then she was shocked to discover that the entire industry was actually in a highly monopolized state.
The core components of a computer are mainly the processor, memory, hard drive and motherboard.
As for the display screen, keyboard, and mouse, I won’t go into details.
Jingfang Company is the largest screen manufacturer in China, and its technology is extremely advanced. It has introduced a lot of display technology through Tianyuan Co., Ltd.
South Korea’s display technology is also imported from Neon.
In terms of display technology, Neon was really strong in its early days, and various technical routes were developed by Neon companies.
It's just that there was a mistake in choosing the development technology path.
A certain company invested a lot of money in the research and development of technology path a. Now it is found that technology path b is developing very quickly. It seems that the technology development prospects are better than technology path a.
At this time, the company faced a choice.
Should we continue on technology path a, or change course and develop technology path b?
Neon's companies will basically struggle on technical path A unless they find that they really can't continue.
The reason is very simple, because there are already deep stakeholder groups on the A technology path.
It is so easy to change something.
Neon is like this in display screen technology, lithography machine technology, and automotive technology.
By continuously introducing technology and investing huge amounts of money in research and development, Jingfang Company has reached the world's first-class level in display technology.
It has already left South Korea behind.
Even so, Jingfang Company is still investing heavily in technology research and development.
Jingfang Company was listed on the GEM of the Southwest Stock Exchange. After its listing, Jingfang Company continued to raise funds in the market.
Use continuous financing to expand production and fund technology research and development.
Of course, Jingfang Company can continue to raise funds and its revenue continues to grow every year, which is also important.
As for computer motherboards, Chenxing Computer and Tianyuan Electronics both develop their own motherboards.
The processor is from Sixiang Technology, and the Xuanwu series processor is one of the most advanced processors in the world.
Of course, there are now many manufacturers around the world that can design and produce top-level processors.
Some computer companies design and produce their own processors.
Is it possible?
It turns out that this is really difficult.
In the end, all such enterprises fell into despair.
Perhaps, there is a very simple business logic here, that is, as a competitor in the market, you will definitely not purchase parts produced by your competitors.
The reason is very simple. Who knows if the other party will get stuck on me?
Let’s not talk about getting stuck!
Just take a small action.
For example, let’s take the system.
Rival companies only need to do some tricks on the system to make the system less usable for their own products.
So as a consumer, you will feel that there is something wrong with the quality of your product.
But actually, is it my own problem?
This matter is difficult to describe.
Therefore, a company that wants to do everything will eventually become closed because other companies simply don’t use your products.

Sixiang Technology produces processors, and Tianyuan Electronics produces memory modules and hard drives.
Have you forgotten something?
Doesn’t every computer have a graphics card? That’s a GPU, a graphics processor.
In fact, today’s computers don’t even have graphics cards.
Graphics processing is still carried out by the CPU.
In fact, Sixiang Technology is already developing a special chip that matches the Xuanwu chip to improve the performance of the entire computer.
From the perspective of the outside world, the entire computer industry has no problems at all. Each company is responsible for producing one or two things and doing what they are best at.
However, Liu Yuqi knew that the entire industry chain was completely controlled by Chen Huaiqing.
This industry chain is quite profitable, but Chen Huaiqing has never thought about making money and continues to invest in various research and development.
How much does the entire semiconductor industry chain invest in R&D each year?
16.7 billion yuan!
This is only publicly available data. For example, Motta Semiconductor, as a listed company, announces its own R&D investment.
Murtagh Semiconductor's unaudited financial report for the previous year was released at the end of January.
According to the rules of the Southwest Stock Exchange, the financial report for the previous year must be released within three months after the end of the previous fiscal year.
If there are special circumstances, you can apply for a one-month extension.
If a company fails to publish financial reports on time, it will face heavy fines, and executives, top ten shareholders, and board members will all be punished.
There are no so-called warnings or public reprimands on the West Stock Exchange. Anyone who violates the regulations will be fined in minor cases, or transferred to court in serious cases.
Originally, the financial market is a group of smart and courageous people who are messing around in it. If it is not strictly managed, there will be trouble!
Although the Southwest Stock Exchange has many rules, they still ensure everyone’s normal interests!
In particular, the interests of investors are fully guaranteed.
In this case, more funds will be attracted to come in.
Mota Semiconductor's financial report shows that revenue reached 7.9 billion yuan, and its R&D investment reached 2.6 billion yuan.
Motta Semiconductor did not announce how many chips it produced, but Liu Yuqi knew that it produced more than 300 million and close to 400 million chips last year.
Mota Semiconductor's foundry fee is around 20 yuan per chip, which is neither high nor low.
Internationally, Mota Semiconductor's foundry fees are quite competitive.
Compared with each company investing in building its own factories for production, Mota Semiconductor can reduce costs even more if it is an OEM.
Motta Semiconductor’s largest customer now is Sixiang Technology.
In addition to Sixiang Technology, there are now some other IC chip design companies in China.
They will also come to Mota Semiconductor for OEM.
Motta Semiconductor is the largest chip manufacturing company in China and can provide all chip manufacturing-related services in addition to design.
The scale of Huaguo Semiconductor is now quite huge, with an annual output value of more than 100 billion, and the GDP it creates is really impressive.
What is a chip?
It's just photolithography circuits on the wafer.
The wafer is silicon.
What is silicon?
It's sand.
Ordinary sand is just impure silica.
High technology is really about creating great wealth, and the profit rate is really very high.
It's just that despite the fact that the domestic semiconductor industry chain is so large now, it seems that it has made a lot of money, but it seems that it has not made any money.
Because all the money earned is invested in research and development.
