CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 367 This output is simply not enough!

crazy!

The stock of Xiaomi Group hit its daily limit the following day, officially pushing its market value close to one trillion yuan.

The company's value has fluctuated from around 800 billion to 1 trillion simply because it purchased an Yinglong lithography machine.

With over 20 billion yuan in funding, Xiaomi Group has generated a 200 billion yuan increase in its stock price, making it the envy of investors, especially small and medium-sized investors, who are practically praising Lei Jun to the skies.

This morning.

Lei Jun personally arrived in Xingcheng to pick up the goods, and the whole process was broadcast live. The title was "Welcoming Yinglong Supercomputer." He even specially borrowed a transport plane, which is not something that just anyone can borrow.

Lu Yiming was very generous, he even gave away a car. This car wasn't cheap either, it was specially customized to transport the core components of the Yinglong lithography machine.

The handover ceremony took place under media scrutiny. When interviewed, Lei Jun was asked what he planned to do with the lithography machine. Without hesitation, he replied, "It's simple! Develop our own chips! Upgrade our products. We not only bought the Yinglong lithography machine, but we also obtained the production rights for Yinglong chips. I want to tell Mi Fans! Soon our flagship phones will no longer be in short supply! Are you all ready to buy?"

All I can say is that Lei Jun is a true marketing genius.

While the market has been cheering for Xiaomi's acquisition of the Yinglong lithography machine in recent days, it's also clear that chip self-development isn't something that can be done quickly. Xiaomi still has a long way to go to develop its own chips. It's like a complex math problem that requires supercomputing; simply having a supercomputer isn't enough. You also need to understand the correct solution approach to ensure the final result is correct.

Otherwise everything is empty talk.

When he said he had obtained the production rights to Yinglong chips, he actually only meant he had obtained the production rights to a certain quantity, just enough to keep up with the leading chip maker. Lu Yiming saw through it but didn't say anything, and since they were all family, there was no need for them to expose his trick.

At this moment, reporters noticed Lu Yiming standing to the side. As someone who rarely gives interviews, they naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass them by and surrounded him.

"Mr. Lu! Many people online are saying that you are now the richest person in China! I wonder what your thoughts are on this!"

A single lithography machine could boost the net worth of the Xiaomi Group to one trillion yuan.

As the actual owner of the lithography machine (Yinglong's naming is consistent with Pangu's products), his net worth should have increased dramatically.

Although Fanxing Group is not listed, it has been valued by many professional institutions. Some of these institutions estimate that if Fanxing Group were to go public, it would definitely be worth trillions.

Whether this trillion can be in US dollars depends on the revenue statements of Fanxing Group. However, Fanxing Group is not listed, so outsiders certainly cannot see such statements.

However, this news was from last year.

With the exposure of Yinglong lithography machine, the estimated market value of Fanxing Group has already surpassed that of Inveda in the minds of netizens.

In response to this question, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "What do you mean by 'richest man'? I'm just an ordinary entrepreneur! The advent of the Yinglong lithography machine is a credit to the entire semiconductor industry, and Fanxing Group dares not take credit for it."

That was a very humble answer.

However, the media is not going to let him off so easily.

"Hello Mr. Lu! There are rumors online that if Fanxing Group goes public, its market value will exceed that of Inveda. What do you think of this statement from netizens?"

Because Vida was also unlucky.

The business was doing well, the market value was two trillion US dollars, and it was about to become number one in the world. However, after being forced to announce the abandonment of the Chinese market, the market value has collapsed by 20% in the past few days.

of course.

It's no wonder they got what they deserved. Originally, it was only going to drop by 10%, since it was just a ban on high-end chips, which only accounted for 30% of their business. But unexpectedly, Lu Yiming brought out the Yinglong lithography machine.

In terms of data, it surpasses the latest lithography machines overseas, and even their technological reserves are not enough to compete with Yinglong.

This question is similar to the previous one: admitting it means he's the richest man, but denying it doesn't really matter.

In response, Lu Yiming shrugged and said, "It's a pity! Fanxing Group has no plans to go public! Therefore, I don't know its market value! I'm glad that netizens have such high hopes for Fanxing Group. In the future, I will work hard to ensure that Fanxing Group lives up to expectations and reaches the point where it meets the expectations of netizens!"

He skillfully dodged the question, but still failed to address its core essence. Lu Yiming then provided watertight answers to the following questions.

The process ended with both parties taking a group photo.

In the front row are Lu Yiming and President Lei, shaking hands and facing the camera. Behind them is the Yinglong lithography machine.

Mr. Lei came yesterday; in addition to signing the contract, he also signed a supplementary agreement.

2 p.m.

Lu Yiming started his live stream on time, much to the surprise of his viewers, who were quite taken aback by his decision not to take a day off. Lu Yiming chuckled, "What~ did you expect me to take a day off? I couldn't bear to leave you all~"

This was no joke. As the company began to show its potential, Lu Yiming experienced a sense of accomplishment, a feeling that neither life nor games could give him.

Some people are addicted to games, while others are addicted to fishing. The moment of catching a fish while fishing, or the moment of winning while playing a game, are essentially the same things that bring a sense of satisfaction.

Lu Yiming's current sense of satisfaction comes from the technology he brought out from the system. He is looking forward to what surprises he can bring to the world by using the system.

Therefore, the lucky treasure chest is especially important.

With the chip blockade, price increases for related items are already happening. For example, graphics cards have seen a comprehensive price hike, with the latest models now costing twice as much as their original price.

A graphics card bought for 3,000 yuan can be sold for 60-70% on the second-hand market. And that was just the price increase on the day the news was released. With Lu Yiming announcing the Yinglong lithography machine, the entire market is currently watching and waiting.

Lu Yiming noticed many people asking him if he could make graphics cards. He nodded and said, "We're already making graphics cards! There are some performance issues though, so we don't know how to price them."

Is there a performance issue?
At this moment, the live stream chat was filled with puzzled question marks.

Lu Yiming immediately continued, "Based on the Yinglong chip, we developed an Yinglong graphics card, but we feel its performance is excessive, so we're now thinking about how to reduce its performance."

[Holy crap! Castration? Is this something you can really talk about in a live stream? Mr. Lu, you really don't treat us like outsiders!]

Is the performance excessive? Could you tell us roughly what the specifications of the Yinglong graphics card represent?

Let me guess! It might be at the A100 level, right?

What is A100? AMD?

[The A100 is a professional computing graphics card; in terms of computing power, the 3090ti is only about half that of the A100!]

That's not much!

[Upstairs! Guess why the 3090ti is only one-tenth the price of the A100! 1+1 is less than two!]

The talent in the bullet comments is multifaceted. Looking at the current topic in the bullet comments, Lu Yiming smiled and revealed the answer: "In terms of computing power! It's probably around the level of ten A100 sheets!"

The design of the Yinglong graphics card was completed with the assistance of the Bai Ze artificial intelligence. Although its performance seemed theoretically feasible, before its release, no one was certain whether it could reach the data predicted by Bai Ze.

The result was, of course, unexpected.

The data not only matches the results calculated by Bai Ze, but the performance is also hard to describe.

The graphics card boasts an astonishing 240GB of video memory, eight times that of the A100, and an impressive 3200 Tfops of computing power. Playing AAA games with this graphics card is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The Yinglong graphics cards currently in production are being used to upgrade the configuration of Bai Ze.

Um.
Lu Yiming also prepared a batch for Jingwei, but the special cabinets and boards are still being processed in an underground factory and are expected to be delivered in a few days before they can be officially assembled.

As soon as Lu Yiming said this...

The live stream was filled with question marks again. There have been a lot of question marks these past few days. Lu Yiming said calmly, "It's normal! In fact, the Yinglong chip itself is a pretty good graphics card. If you add heat dissipation, it can basically meet the needs of most games on the market. Currently, we are building the Yinglong Youth Edition graphics card based on the data of the 3090TI. At the same time, the Yinglong Youth Edition CPU and other products are also under active development."

Why is the semiconductor industry silent?
Aside from the impact of the confidentiality agreement, they are simply too busy to keep up. They are either busy upgrading product production lines or working closely on tasks assigned by the Starry Sky Group.

【Mr. Lu! Don't you want to look at what you've said? Is the version that's supposed to be comparable to the 3090TI just a youth version?】

Price! Price is the most important thing! I want to know if it's still possible to wait and see!

[Yeah! The 3090TI is over 20,000 RMB on the secondhand market! Mr. Lu, please don't sell it for such a high price!]

[15,000 RMB! The launch price of the 3090 Ti is 15,000 RMB! If a domestic graphics card's performance is comparable to the 3090 Ti, I'll definitely buy it!]

[15,000 is still a bit expensive! Not everyone needs a 3090 Ti! I suggest Mr. Lu develop a kindergarten version of the Yinglong graphics card! Its performance only needs to be at least as good as a 3060!]

[What a ridiculous suggestion! A toddler version, actually! But the 3060 is definitely enough! Mr. Lu, you might want to consider this suggestion.]

【.】

Many people don't actually need a graphics card at the level of a 3090TI. It's a graphics card used as a production tool. Although it's true that playing AAA games is very enjoyable, people who can afford it usually don't have much time to play AAA games.

It can only be said that there is a market, but the market size is not large. Most of the purchases are made by novices who are swayed by public opinion. For example, players who only play League of Legends will use a 3090TI, and the fan won't even spin.

Seeing so many people's concerns about price and performance.

Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Don't worry about the price! I originally thought the graphics card would be very expensive, but I was quite surprised after receiving the cost sheet. I plan to strongly promote the Yinglong Youth Edition graphics card and try to make it affordable for most people, so you don't need to worry about the price being too high!"

The reason for not giving a specific price was to allow the market some buffer time, but Lu Yiming underestimated his influence. This statement dealt a devastating blow to the current graphics card market!

The live stream chat exploded with excitement, with those who had waited waving their victory flags high, while those who had bought at high prices could only smile bitterly.

Lu Yiming said that the price would be affordable for most people, so the price must be below 10,000. The 3090TI was originally priced at 15,000. They conservatively estimated that each person would lose at least 5,000!
And then I saw the comments section starting to get chaotic.

Lu Yiming raised an eyebrow and said, "It will indeed have some impact on those who have already bought the 3090TI, but the earlier you buy, the earlier you enjoy it, and the later you buy, the more discounts you get. This is something that cannot be avoided!"

This statement is like rubbing salt into a wound.

People in the live stream kept telling Lu Yiming to stop talking.

In fact.

China has already caught up with international standards in CPU design, but we lack the necessary resources. The team was introduced by He Haijian. After the task was assigned, the blueprints were sent over, and Bai Ze would review them. Then, we could basically start production immediately.

The entire process took no more than three months, and Lu Yiming had already begun planning it at the end of last year.

Yinglong graphics cards were created based on this design, but their performance was too advanced to be widely used in the consumer market.

Bai Ze's existence has greatly accelerated the research and development process, and has even led the researchers to rely on Bai Ze, which is actually a kind of progress.

The development of China's nuclear weapons and satellites was also achieved using abacuses. Now, abacuses have largely disappeared from the domestic scientific research stage, which is a testament to the progress of science and technology.

Seeing the wailing on the screen, Lu Yiming secretly sighed that he was glad he had spoken up in advance. If he had waited until mass production to release the finished product, the number of people who would have jumped off the roof would probably have been too many to count on two hands.

Lu Yiming's live stream ended that day.

The price of graphics cards at the seafood market plummeted. Prices started at 24,000 and dropped below 20,000 when Lu Yiming went offline, eventually reaching 15,000.

The number of sellers far exceeds the number of buyers.

With fewer than 100 transactions and a return rate exceeding 50%, it's clear that the customer only learned about the issue after making the purchase and then opted for a refund.

Simultaneously.

This also affected the stock prices of many overseas semiconductor companies. Nvidia's stock price plummeted by 20%, and combined with previous declines, its market value has fallen below two trillion. Other companies whose businesses involve graphics cards and chips have also been affected to varying degrees, it's just a matter of how much.

That same evening.

Less than 60 hours later, a number of overseas semiconductor companies issued urgent statements declaring that the previous blockade plan was null and void.

Lu Yiming learned of this news while he was at Pangu Corporation. On the tray in front of him were two things that looked like graphics cards.

"President Lu! These two are Yinglong graphics cards, Youth Edition and Youth Edition S, which just came off the production line today. A total of 20,000 were produced today, and the yield rate reached 99.98%."

Well known.

The lower the nm process value, the more difficult it is to control the yield rate; a yield rate of 0.02% is already excellent.

Lu Yiming nodded in agreement, picked up the two graphics cards in front of him. The difference between them and other graphics cards on the market was their rather dazzling appearance, which was also what Lu Yiming had requested.

Having already reviewed the blueprints, Lu Yiming was very satisfied with the finished product, as it matched the blueprints perfectly.

He immediately asked, "Let's add a few more production lines! 20,000 a day is enough, but I want to go head-to-head with these overseas semiconductor companies! This output is simply not enough!"
