Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

In San Diego, California, the sun shines on the glass curtain wall of the Gaotong Corporation headquarters, reflecting a dazzling light.

This is one of the giants in the global chip industry, and it once led the revolution in mobile communication technology.

However, today's CEO John is sitting in his spacious office with a serious expression.

He held the empty coffee cup in one hand, and the few drops of coffee remaining at the bottom of the cup seemed to reflect his inner anxiety.

He stared blankly at the computer screen. The stock price curve jumping on the screen was like a ruthless snake, tightly entangling his thoughts.

Since its listing in 1991, Gaotong has rapidly emerged as an industry leader with its absolute advantages in the field of communication chips.

In the past few years, the company's annual revenue has remained stable at around US$20 billion, of which the chip business contributed approximately US$13 billion, accounting for half of the company's revenue.

Before its competitor Future Technology Group launched its self-developed chips, Gaotong's stock price had always fluctuated between US$55 and US$62. Its market value once exceeded US$100 billion, even surpassing the veteran chip giant Intel to become one of the world's largest chip manufacturers.

At that time, John was full of energy and stood at the top of the industry, as if the future was in his hands.

However, all this came to an abrupt end after Future Technology Group launched its self-developed chips.

Especially when Future Technology Group announced its breakthrough in 7-nanometer chip technology, Gaotong's market position suffered an unprecedented impact.

Investors began to doubt Gaotong's future, and its stock price plummeted, falling from a high of $62 to around $30 today, with its market value shrinking by nearly half.

John watched helplessly as the company's glory gradually faded, feeling powerless and angry.

"FU*KHAO!"

If there is one person John hates the most, it must be Hao Qiang, the chairman of Future Technology Group.

This young technology upstart, with his keen business acumen and strong technical team, has torn a hole in Gaotong's territory.

Whenever John saw Hao Qiang's high-spirited look on the news, he would clench his fists involuntarily.

However, when he noticed that the stock prices of other peers - such as Intel, AMD and other companies - were also retreating under the impact of Future Technology Group, he felt a sense of complex pleasure in his heart.

At least, he was not the only one who was forced into a desperate situation by Hao Qiang.

This feeling is a bit gloating.

"Haha, there's an old Chinese saying, 'Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side of the river!'"

Since being defeated by Future Technology Group, John has paid more attention to Huaguo, learned some Chinese, and occasionally speaks a proverb or two.

John put down his coffee cup and took a deep breath.

He has been trying to find a new way out to lead Gaotong out of this crisis.

However, where is the road ahead?

He looked out the window at the blue sky of San Diego, but had no answer in his heart.

The rise of Future Technology Group's semiconductors is like a storm in the technology world, quickly sweeping the global chip market.

Its latest mobile phone processor, White Tiger 835, has triggered enthusiastic market pursuit as soon as it was launched on the market due to its excellent performance and energy efficiency.

Industry analysts predict that the sales of the White Tiger 835 chip alone is expected to exceed 1500 million units this year, making it the chip of choice for high-end smartphones.

At the same time, Future Technology Group has lowered the price of its automotive chip Qinglong 8124 to a very competitive level.

This move quickly ignited market demand, and sales of Qinglong 8124 and its supporting chips are expected to exceed 500 million sets.

The sales of the more high-end Qinglong 8134 are expected to exceed 100 million sets thanks to its excellent cost-effectiveness and customization advantages.

It is estimated that based on these chip products and other types of chips alone, Future Technology Group's chip revenue this year will easily exceed US$250 billion.

This figure has made it one of the top three technology companies in the world in terms of chip revenue, and has also become the fastest-growing dark horse in the industry.

What is even more remarkable is that as Future Technology Group expands its production lines, increases its production capacity, and continuously enriches its chip product line, its revenue next year is expected to exceed the US$350 billion mark without any suspense.

Therefore, industry experts even predict that according to the current growth trend, Future Technology Group is expected to surpass old giants such as Eagle Vision and Eagle Technology in the near future and become the world's number one giant in the chip industry.

Actually,

The landscape of the global chip industry is changing.

For those traditional giants that were once invincible, such as Gaotong, Intel and Sixin, the rise of Future Technology Group is undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge.

This young technology company is rapidly eroding the market share originally monopolized by giants with its innovative technology and highly competitive products.

The anxiety of John, CEO of Gaotong, is just a microcosm of this change.

At the same time, Pingguo CEO Tim Cook also felt unprecedented pressure.

Although Pingguo still holds the top spot in the high-end smartphone market with its strong brand influence and the advantages of its self-developed chips, the threat from Huaguo Huawei is gradually emerging.

Huawei's latest MateS mobile phone has performed very well in the market. It has not only achieved great success in the Chinese market, but has also actively expanded into overseas markets, trying to compete with Pingguo on a global scale.

Although Huawei's annual sales volume cannot be compared with Pingguo's at present, Pingguo ships more than 100 million mobile phones every year.

but,

Cook felt uneasy about Warwick's rapid growth and accumulation, as well as the troublemaker Future Technology Group.

What if Future Technology Group also enters the mobile phone market?

In addition, Future Technology Group's mobile phone chips are being adopted by more and more world-renowned brands.

Samsung and Nokia have announced that they will purchase high-end chips from Future Technology Group for use in their next-generation flagship devices.

This move not only weakened the market share of Gaotong and Yingtel, but also further consolidated Future Technology Group's position in the global chip industry.

Pingguo has an independent chip production line and it is impossible for it to purchase chips from Future Technology Group.

This used to be an advantage, as it helped Pingguo avoid the risk of being "choked" by its semiconductor peers, but now it has put Pingguo Company in a dilemma.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

November arrived as scheduled, and during this period, Hao Qiang, chairman of Future Technology Group, almost completely immersed himself in the world of scientific research.

His schedule was filled with technical meetings, laboratory inspections and project discussions, leaving him with almost no chance to breathe.

As the soul of the company, Hao Qiang is very clear that technology will always be the foundation of Future Technology Group.

In the past month, several key projects presided over by Hao Qiang have made significant progress.

The Future 1.0 robot dog project has entered the design phase;

The research and development of solid-state lithium metal batteries has also entered a critical stage. Once this technology matures and is available on the market, it will completely change the landscape of the electric vehicle and energy storage industries. Of course, even if the research and development is successful, Hao Qiang will not announce it so quickly.

The flying car project has been underway for a year and is currently in the engineering design phase, far from commercial mass production.

The 4nmEBL lithography machine project was just launched.

Future Technology Group is carrying out hundreds, or even thousands, of scientific research projects simultaneously. Hao Qiang has limited energy, so he mainly focuses on the above four projects.

While Hao Qiang was busy with scientific research, the outside world never stopped paying attention to him.

In two days, the annual world's richest list will be announced.

In recent years, as Hao Qiang's wealth has continued to soar, especially after he became the world's richest man last year, the Chinese people's attention to this list has reached an unprecedented level.

Both the financial media and ordinary people are hotly discussing what new heights Hao Qiang's wealth will reach.

Some people speculate that with the full outbreak of Future Technology Group in the fields of chips and new energy, Hao Qiang's wealth may reach a new high.

However, for Hao Qiang, wealth has never been his goal.

He is more concerned about how to change the world through technological innovation and how to make Future Technology Group continue to shine on the global technology stage.

Despite this, he still cannot completely avoid the outside world's attention.

Whenever the rich list is released, his name always becomes the focus of global media.

And this time, I don’t know what will happen.
