Reborn Tech Scholar

Chapter 393 The Uninvited Guest

As the footsteps of the new year are approaching, the taste of the new year is getting heavier and heavier.

Tsinghua Park and Shahe Campus, except for the necessary on-duty personnel, have all been on holiday. Although according to the policy, the official holiday will not be until New Year’s Eve, but schools are always different, and even lecturers and professors who do not have scientific research tasks, Even more, they are about the same age as the students and are on vacation, enjoying winter and summer vacations!
It's just that this year's Spring Festival is a bit different. Everyone's focus is still on quantum computers. The global media are holding back their energy, reporting on the mission, the past and important nodes of the popularization of quantum computers, and the major milestones of the birth of quantum computers today. Meaning, in what fields will quantum computers be commercialized.

As for supercomputers, no matter whether it is China or other countries, they have all stopped further digging work on supercomputers. After all, no matter how fast traditional supercomputers improve their computing speed, the ceiling is there, and it is impossible to catch up with quantum computers. , in front of quantum computers, no matter how powerful traditional supercomputers are, they are all scum.

Of course, this does not mean that the supercomputing centers that have been built are useless. In fact, the supercomputing centers that have been built will play a huge role in the future. First, quantum computers are expensive and need to be cultivated. It will take some time for the technicians and managers.Secondly, it is impossible for quantum computers to become popular within ten or twenty years.

Furthermore, most scientific research projects and commercial applications today only need traditional supercomputers, and quantum computers are not yet needed.

However, the influence brought by quantum computers is fermenting, and it is reflected in the stock market immediately. The stock prices of Microsoft, IBM, and Google continue to fall. Some people had no confidence in them and sold their stocks to stop losses in time.

The decline in the stocks of the three major technology companies has led to an overall decline in U.S. stocks. Except for Chinese companies such as WeChat and Ali that are listed on U.S. stocks, they are basically falling.

Qin Yuanqing didn't have time to pay attention to these news, he himself became busy, and started to lead a team with other vice principals to visit retired faculty members and outstanding faculty members, and to condolences to the people who had made contributions to Shuimu.

Sometimes, you have to take time to participate in academic activities organized by superiors, which makes Qin Yuanqing unwilling to bother.

However, Qin Yuanqing also felt the further influence brought by quantum computers. The 100 places in the quantum computer training class just released by Mizuki were instantly robbed. You must know that the annual tuition fee for each of these 100 places is 100 million yuan. It was sold out in less than half an hour.

There are also corresponding training courses on Chinese language programming and artificial intelligence that have just been released, with a total of 300 places, and the annual tuition fee for each place is also 100 million yuan, and they were all sold out in less than an hour.

The students in the Yao class were looted more than ever, and even some freshman students were looted by major companies and offered attractive contracts.

Compared with other fields, the sense of smell in the Internet field is even more amazing. These Internet giants can make huge profits every year. They have an amazing sense of advanced technology. Before they learned about Chinese language programming, they actually wanted to I went in, but at that time only relevant personnel from the Ministry of Science and Technology and several subordinate research institutes were accepted to attend lectures, and others were turned away.

That is to say, individual companies can get one or two places and are allowed to attend.

Now on the Internet, all tech giants have a consensus that Huaxia has indeed opened the door to the fourth industrial revolution, and no Internet giant or internet tech giant is willing to miss the outlet of the fourth industrial revolution.

As Lei Jun said, as long as you stand in the wind, pigs can take off!
On this outlet, many emerging technology companies are destined to be born, and even great Internet technology companies will be born.And if they fail to seize this outlet, they will surely decline.

On the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Yuanqing welcomed an uninvited guest at his home.

"Principal, I'm here to ask you for help!" Yu Chengdong said with a smile, no longer calling Qin Yuanqing Academician Qin as before, but directly calling Qin Yuanqing the principal.

"Mr. Yu, it's New Year's Eve, you don't stay home to spend the New Year with your family, why are you running away from me!" Qin Yuanqing said angrily.

Originally, he was so busy at the end of the year that he couldn't keep his feet on the ground. Even at night, he had to spare an hour or two to attend meetings. It was rare for him to have a break, but it turned out to be a good thing, and Yu Chengdong came to him.

Over the years, he and Yu Chengdong have forged a relatively deep friendship. Yu Chengdong is also striving for success. After taking people out to work alone, he plunged into the semiconductor industry and founded Huaxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which is engaged in integrated circuit manufacturing services.

The semiconductor industry has always had deep waters and huge investments, and it has to face strong competitors.However, in just a few years, Yu Chengdong has gained a firm foothold in the semiconductor industry and built a fab. At present, Huaxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has become the fourth largest semiconductor manufacturing company in the world, providing services to more than 300 customers around the world, producing more than More than 7000 kinds of chips are widely used in various application fields such as computer products, communication products and consumer electronics products.The production capacity has also reached 1360 million pieces of 1000-inch equivalent wafers, and the annual revenue has exceeded [-] billion yuan.

But so far, Huaxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is still in a state of huge losses, because it is still in the process of continuous expansion.

"Principal, isn't this the advent of quantum computers? My technical level is limited, and the road ahead is so vast that I don't know how to move forward. I'm here to learn from the principal. I hope the principal can guide the students out of the way!" Yu Chengdong laughed quickly. road.

This time his visit to Qin Yuanqing was different from the past. In the past, he was more of a friend, but this time he put himself in the position of Shuimu Ren.

Speaking of which, Yu Chengdong, who graduated from Shuimu University as a graduate student, is also from Shuimu!

"Come on, Mr. Yu, don't be like this. You still want to surpass TSMC and become the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer!" Qin Yuanqing said angrily.

During this period of time, there are always some friends who want to inquire about the news, but you must know that although Huaxia held the world's first global press conference for the world's first real quantum computer, it only revealed the basic performance indicators. As for the specific technology But nothing has been disclosed, and it is still kept in a state of secrecy.

Qin Yuanqing still has a sense of secrecy. Naturally, he will not reveal half of this kind of things that are still in a state of secrecy, even the WeChat group is no exception.

"This year, Huaxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will surpass Samsung and become the second largest semiconductor manufacturing company in the world after TSMC. In at most two to three years, we will definitely be able to replace TSMC and become the world's number one semiconductor manufacturing company," said Yu Chengdong. : "But as you said, now that the door to the fourth industrial revolution has been opened, the traditional semiconductor industry will also undergo earth-shaking changes. We are getting bigger. If we don't turn around early, it will be too late to turn around."

The bigger the company, the easier it is to collapse, because in the face of new technologies, giant companies are difficult to turn around and are always sunk.

In China, there is no such thing as too big to fail, unless it is a state-owned enterprise.Otherwise, private enterprises will fall as soon as they say it.

Although Huaxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is growing stronger and developing very rapidly, and its annual turnover is rising steadily, the development speed is appalling. Even TSMC is regarded as a strong opponent, and it can't wait to kill Huaxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.But Yu Chengdong still seemed flustered in front of the birth of the quantum computer.

Relying on Huaxia's strong demand for chips over the years, Yu Chengdong and his team have shown ferocity like wild wolves, spending money desperately, and some companies try their best to hand over orders to Huaxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, making Huaxia The annual turnover of the core semiconductor manufacturing company has increased significantly.

"Principal, let's not talk about me as a Mizuki person. Even as a shareholder, you have to help the company!" Yu Chengdong said cheekily.

When Yu Chengdong came out with his team and decided to invest in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, Qin Yuanqing invested 100 billion yuan at that time, accounting for only 20% of the shares.So Qin Yuanqing is actually the second largest shareholder of Huaxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

"You, you, what are you panicking? When the time is right, you should have your share. Naturally, you can't run away!" Qin Yuanqing shook his head. Carbon-based chips are currently in the process of building patent barriers. He won't let go either, Yu Chengdong's thinking is in vain.

Qin Yuanqing was actually a little curious. Obviously Yu Chengdong left, but how did he manage to let his old club hand over nearly half of the chip orders to him for OEM.However, this involves commercial secrets. Although Qin Yuanqing is the second largest shareholder, he will not ask.

Although Yu Chengdong didn't get anything substantial, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he walked out of Qin Yuanqing's house.

At the press conference of the quantum computer, Yu Chengdong himself panicked, because he did not expect that the theoretical quantum computer would actually make a breakthrough.It is important to know that quantum information technology is one of the recognized signs of the fourth industrial revolution. The birth of quantum computers represents the official opening of the fourth industrial revolution.

And who knows, whether there are new technologies born behind the scenes.

Every industrial revolution is fierce to social change and subversive to the industry. Yu Chengdong immediately thought that from time to time, the current semiconductor manufacturing industry will also usher in a catastrophe. New semiconductors will replace the existing ones. If this is the case, Huaxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has to prepare as soon as possible, otherwise, when the catastrophe comes, what awaits it will be extremely miserable.
