To be honest, if Rutskoy had had his money-carrying plane shot down at that time, Fang Chen would still have looked at Rutskoy and thought that the winner might not be the winner, and the outcome was unpredictable.

But now, all I can do is laugh.

After all, Yeltsin was the one who dared to send troops to bombard the White House.

If one dares and the other dares not, then the decision will naturally be made and the winner will be clear.

Furthermore, he has stayed in Russia for a long time, and things in the country will naturally fall into place.

Recently, both Sony and Philips have been a little uneasy and have sent several letters to Yanjing Head Office. They are all talking about the standard issues of VCD discs and video disc players, which means that they hope that Qingtian can continue to use the international standard established by the dynamic image expert group.

standards rather than creating one of your own.

He said that if Qingtian did this, it would not be conducive to the promotion of VCD discs and video players. He even said that if Qingtian continued to act willfully, they would definitely take corresponding measures.

As for the measures, these several letters have not made it clear. They are all vague. This is in line with the little devil's preference to be secretive about everything he does.

Lao Duan originally planned to respond and deal with it, but was stopped by Fang Chen's words.

Why are you so anxious? Now Qingtian is the largest manufacturer of VCD discs, and it is also the unique inventor and producer of video disc players. It can be said that the real-life applications related to moving image and voice compression technology in the world are turned into cash.

He accounts for at least 80% of the channels. Why should he let this bullshit moving image expert group have the final say? Why should he cater to the standards set by them?

According to this market share, he should have absolute voice and leadership, and the dynamic image expert group must listen to him.

Besides, as long as Sony and Philips don't tell him to cut off the supply of key components such as movements and laser heads, his production will not be delayed at all, so why should he pay attention to their bullshit letters?

Of course, he also admitted that once they cut off the supply of key components such as movements and laser heads to him, he would immediately go crazy. After all, there are no domestically produced products that can replace them.

But it is not that easy to cut off the supply. The production units that manufacture movements and laser heads and those who formulate the technology of moving images and voice compression are not necessarily the same group of people. It is very likely that there are two distinct groups, one is the factory.

, one is the research institute.

The research institute wants to set standards, but the factory wants to make more money

In this case, the question arises, why should the factory sacrifice the interests of the factory for the sake of the research institute?

According to Fang Chen's understanding of the company's operating model, this kind of struggle will continue without suppression from higher-level leaders.

However, the most important thing is that the cost of his three million video disc players alone is as high as nine billion. As one of the most important parts of the video disc player, the movement and laser head basically account for the procurement cost of the nine billion.

More than one-third of the total, these three million video disc players enabled him to give Sony and Philips a total order value of more than 3.1 billion Chinese dollars.

Are Sony and Philips really willing to give up this order worth 3.1 billion?

He didn't think so.

It can be said that if they did not really break up with him, Sony and Philips would never be willing to let these more than 3.1 billion orders go to waste.

So, it doesn't hurt to let the bullets fly.

This is also an important reason why he still dares to do so even though he knows that his improvement of moving image and voice compression technology will arouse strong opposition from the moving image expert group headed by Sony and Philips.

This approach is actually in line with the domestic practices of later generations, such as chips. Although there is no domestic technology, the United States does not dare to cut off supply easily because China is the largest chip market in the world.

If China is sanctioned and is not allowed to import chips, then a large number of chip companies in the United States will be dead soon.

On the contrary, China has become the largest and most advanced chip manufacturer in the world due to its self-reliance, successfully filling the vacancy left by the United States.

To be honest, Fang Chen is actually looking forward to the U.S. imposing sanctions on China and not allowing it to import chips.

Just as Taizu said, "Suppose sanctions. If we impose sanctions for ten or eight years, all China's problems will be solved."

On the other hand, in the automobile industry, which can import all models and can also produce specific models for China, the performance of domestically produced cars is somewhat unsatisfactory, but there has been some rapid progress in the past two years.

As for the chip industry, it is a mess. There are all kinds of thunderstorms, and monsters and monsters dare to get involved here.

In addition, the reason why Fang Chen is confident that China will surpass the United States in the chip industry is because of the tunneling effect.

Because there are many transistors integrated on the chip, these transistors control a lot of current, but if the size of the transistor gradually becomes smaller, the channel between the source and drain inside will also shorten accordingly. When the channel shortens to a certain

After a certain level, the transistor will lose some of its functions due to the quantum tunneling effect in the chip.

Scientists predict that at 3 nanometers, the tunneling effect will fully emerge. After all, at that time, even the most basic component of matter, such as atoms, can only accommodate thirty between each source and drain.

, the distance is really too small.

In other words, Fang Chen is actually betting that because of the tunneling effect, current chip technology will stagnate, giving China a chance to catch up.

Otherwise, to be honest, Fang Chen is a little desperate.

Because the chip industry is an industry with an absolute Matthew effect, that is, the strong takes everything. The second place may still have a chance to drink soup. As for the third place, it is almost as good as death.

In other words, if China's chip industry cannot be ranked second in the world, it will be a dead end.

However, relying on the state to provide support and throwing money at it is not very realistic.

There is no way, even if we only talk about high-end chips, this is a huge market with annual revenue of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. Intel alone’s annual investment in technology is as high as 10 billion U.S. dollars. If you add Samsung, TSMC, Qualcomm, and Nvidia,

, AMD and others have invested almost 50 billion US dollars in scientific research.

It is precisely this high investment in chip research that ensures the status and huge revenue of these chip manufacturers in their respective chip fields.

Moreover, regardless of the fact that these companies originally led China in technological research, as far as the annual scientific research investment of these companies is concerned, if China wants to catch up with them and be equal to them, it must invest at least this much money.

Even the simplest one, TSMC, which has the lowest technological content among these companies, has an annual scientific research investment of US$2.9 billion, which is as high as US$20 billion in Chinese currency.

As for the so-called tens of billions of investments in China that have been wasted, to be honest, this amount of money is really not even enough to pay tuition.

As far as the chip industry is concerned, if you don’t have a trillion-level investment, don’t think about making any extraordinary achievements. Even if you invest a trillion yuan, you can solve the stuck problem and ensure that you are not more than one generation behind.

Very fragrant.

And this money is obviously something that China will not be able to afford for a while.

I told Duan Yongping that the VCD standard issue would be resolved when he went back, so I left it here for the time being.

But you must also know that no matter how hard you let the bullets fly, the bullets will still fly over in one day, so Fang Chen still has to finish the matter quickly and return to China. Moreover, he also has a lot of things waiting for him in the United States.

He goes to solve it.

At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly felt helpless and helpless.

Time flies by so fast, like a fleeting moment, a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

With the efforts of Berezovsky, Ma Yun, Chen Mingyong, Yelina and many elite soldiers, they finally brought together a dozen oil-related companies and established Qingtian Oil Company.

Fang Chen also took a plane to the Chukotka Peninsula at the request of Berezovsky and others.

The Chukotka Peninsula is the northeasternmost peninsula located in Eurasia. It is bounded by the East Siberian Sea and the Chukotka Sea to the north, the Bering Sea to the south, and Cape Dezhnev at the eastern end. It faces Alaska across the Bering Strait.

It covers an area of ​​approximately 700,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to Xihai Province, which ranks fourth in terms of area in China.

However, even though Xihai Province occupies the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau, the roof of the world, and the living conditions are very harsh, there are still more than 6 million people living in Xihai Province, while only 50,000 people are active in the Chukotka Peninsula, and

Most of these people are local indigenous people.

The area is almost the same, but the population is more than ten times different, which shows the harsh living environment on the Chukotka Peninsula.

But such a remote and remote place where birds don't poop is actually an important oil production base in the Baku production area of ​​the Third Soviet Union.

No, it should be considered an important oil production base of Qingtian Oil Company now.

Or, if it weren't for the fact that the Chukotka Peninsula is at the northeastern tip of Eurasia and has huge symbolic significance, he wouldn't have come here.

Taking a business jet and getting off the simple airport, Fang Chen, led by Berezovsky and others, headed deep into the unknown.

Although the airport was already the closest place to the oil field, after driving for more than two hours, Fang Chen suddenly smelled a pungent smell of petroleum. It should even be more like the smell from an oil refinery, and it became more and more intense.

The stronger it became, Fang Chen couldn't help but cover his nose, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

However, he was not excited because he was about to see oil, but he was excited because his butt would no longer suffer. The two-hour drive really made his back hurt, and his butt felt like there were nails on the seat.

, feeling like sitting on pins and needles, twisting and turning.

Berezovsky, on the other hand, was just the opposite. When he smelled the smell of oil, he suddenly became excited, "Mr. Fang, we have reached the oil production area, our oil field. We will be there in another twenty or thirty minutes."

arrive."

When they arrived at the place, Fang Chen was suddenly a little shocked.

It’s not that he has never seen an oil worker in an oil field. After all, he briefly owned an oil field with an oil reserve of up to two billion US dollars, which was the oil-producing land that he and Li Xiaohua purchased in Malaysia.

But at that time, what he saw was just a well-exploring team, with more than 300 people in total, and nearly 50 of these 300 people were third-line members such as logistics and finance, and some were just

There are less than 200 people responsible for supervising the work and doing the real work.

In front of him, hundreds of kowtow machines stood like steel monsters in the vast oil field. They were going up and down, working hard and lonely. It was really an endless field, and Fang Chen couldn't see the edge anyway.

Of course, this is also related to the terrifying existence not far away that is billowing black smoke, as if thousands of monsters are coming on clouds.

This should be a refinery supporting oil fields.

The oil extracted from the oil field can be directly input into the refinery, and then refined oil can be obtained.

However, what surprised Fang Chen even more was that following Berezovsky's call, more than 20,000 oil workers from various working stations in the oil field gathered in front of Fang Chen.

Fang Chen couldn't help but think that there were a total of 50,000 people in the entire Chukotka Peninsula, and excluding the local indigenous people, I am afraid that all the Russians had already gathered in front of him.

"The company has exploration and production rights for 45 oil and gas fields in the Yamal-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Regions, Omsk, Tomsk Oblast and Chukotka Peninsula."

“Among them, Chukotka Peninsula’s oil and gas reserves account for 80% of the total reserves of the entire oil company, Sugmutsk, Sporeshevsk, Sutorminsk, Vingalovsk and Muravlenkovsk

It is the largest oil and gas field in the area, with reserves accounting for 46% of the total reserves in the area. But now these oil fields have been bought by us."

"As of this year, the proven reserves of the oil and gas fields here are 465 million barrels of oil equivalent, and their recoverable oil accounts for 35% of the company's recoverable oil. It is expected that if the work goes well this year, it can bring you US$2 billion to US$30

The revenue of 100 million US dollars is just..."

Having said this, Berezovsky couldn't help but rub his palms and glanced at the other three people. He saw that the three of them looked like old gods, completely distracted and entrusted everything to him.
