The basis of computers is a collection of various chip technologies and other technologies.

One of the most important things here is the CPU, central processing unit.

When it comes to the central processing unit of a computer, it is completely impossible to avoid the company Intel.

So he had long asked Lin Anbang to focus on Intel after he went to the United States.

After Qin Fan opened his mouth.

A white man in his 40s stood up on his own initiative.

"Hello, BOSS. I'm Baudrew. I've been following up on matters related to Intel. Can I report to you?"

"please."

After receiving Qin Fan's approval, Baldru slowly spoke:

"In 1970, after Intel launched the first commercial DRAM, it earned billions of dollars in revenue for more than ten years."

"However, since 1978, the entire U.S. chip industry has been experiencing ups and downs."

"Especially after entering the 1980s, Neon began to launch a comprehensive economic offensive against the United States, including the semiconductor industry. (This is the well-known trade war between Japan and the United States)"

"Even we Americans have to admit that the quality of Neon's semiconductor products far exceeds that of the United States, and it has also received strong financial support from funds and government, so the price is excellent.

The momentum is very clear.”

"In 1980, Neon's semiconductor memory accounted for less than 30% of global sales. American companies accounted for more than 60% of sales. But now, only three years later, Neon's semiconductor memory production is

It completely surpasses the United States in terms of manufacturing and sales.”

Qin Fan also knew some of the things Baldru introduced in later generations.

During this period, neon, the real economy and civilian technology were simply terrifyingly strong.

Under the condition of fair competition with Baipi, the little devils have successively completely wiped out the American automobile, semiconductor, shipbuilding, special metal and other industries in the past few years.

The first sweater station in human history also took place during this period. Therefore, the sweater war between the United States and the Eastern Kingdom in later generations was just another one.

If legitimate competition cannot be achieved, we will resort to small means to test the situation.

North American gangsters, no matter in the past or in the future, have this kind of urine.

But unlike Dongguo, which is self-reliant and self-reliant, no matter how powerful Neon's economy and technology are, they are still dog slaves tied with chains.

The dog slave is already more developed than his master, how can this be possible?

So starting from this year, various combinations of punches were thrown at Neon's head.

It can be said that in the next seven years, the United States will use almost all other means except military means against Neon.

In the end, it successfully inflated Neon's economic bubble and burst it, setting Neon back 30 years.

In this magnificent international event, the war in the semiconductor industry is just one of the microcosms of this event.

"Under the huge impact of the Neon Man, semiconductor companies in the United States went bankrupt one after another, and Intel was not able to survive alone."

"Just last year, Intel laid off 2,000 employees and asked IBM to buy 12% of its bonds for $250 million. Even so, the decline has not stopped."

Baudrew said: "They originally planned to lay off 1,500 people this year. But it's only October now, with two months left. Their layoffs have already exceeded 1,800 yuan."

"Originally they had 11 factories, but now there are only two medium-sized factories left, and all other factories have been closed."

"In 1978, when Intel's market value was at its peak, 1% of their shares could be sold for US$50 million. But now, their 5% shares are only worth US$100 million."

"In June this year, Standard & Poor's downgraded Intel's securities credit standards to CCA, which is the third-to-last rating. It is only slightly better than several other semiconductor companies that have not yet gone bankrupt."

"BOSS, I have finished reporting on the situation at Intel."

After reporting without any emotion and using the most neutral attitude, Baldrew bent over Qin Fan and waited for instructions.

Qin Fan knew that what he said was true, because these situations had all happened in history.

The 10 years from the 1980s to the 1990s were the most difficult times for British-owned companies and all American semiconductor companies.

The reason lies in Neon's competition.

However, this period is also the best period for other countries and regions to enter this highly technological industry.

Almost all major semiconductor giants of later generations appeared at this time or survived this period.

Only then did we have the crazy bloom in the 1990s and the dominance after entering the 21st century.

Later companies such as Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and ASML are still inconspicuous technical groups.

At the same time, this is also the period when Dongguo, the future giant, has the best hope of equal access and involvement in this industry.

This is why after Qin Fan came to the United States, he started talking seriously about work, but started talking about Intel.
