"I've heard of it," Hongchuan Kaede nodded, "It was jointly established by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, five major semiconductor companies, the Industrial Technology Electronics Research Institute and the Comprehensive Computer Research Institute.

The purpose is to concentrate on conquering the semiconductor field and try our best to catch up with the technological gap with the United States. The VLSI Technology Research Institute in Port seems to have been officially dissolved in 1980."

"That said, the five companies have still not stopped their initial investment in laboratories externally, and have even increased their research and development efforts."

Akihito told Hongchuan Kaede about the unknown side of that period of history. There were six laboratories east of the VLSI Technology Research Institute.

The laboratory east of the Electrical Appliances Research Institute is really controlled by the Neon Government, and the other five major laboratories are all outside the five semiconductor companies.

They receive funding from the government, and all laboratory results are shared externally.

After several years of concerted efforts, in the 1980s, Neon's DRAM technology had completely surpassed that of the United States, so the government stopped funding compensation.

Bu Naoming publicly announced that the VLSI Association has been officially dissolved, but it will continue to maintain Neon's technical advantages.

The five companies continue to carry out technology research and development out of their own pockets, and can even exchange supplies when necessary.

"Now" Akihito glanced at the thoughtful Hongkawa Kaede, "They want SIC to join them."

"Huh?" Hong Chuanfeng said cleverly, "Prince Palace East, can you tell me."

Akihito nodded and spit out a word that made Hongchuan Feng change his color, "processor chip architecture technology."

"Shameless!" Hongchuan Feng cursed through gritted teeth.

The VLSI Technology Research Institute has been disbanded, but now the Big Five have invited SIC to join a similar organization.

It sounds nice to say that R&D investment is shared and technology is shared, but in reality, it does not seek SIC chip architecture technology.

It is true that they have never done anything similar. In the 1970s, several companies used the power of the government to force NEC to open their own "semiconductor planar production" process.

Now that SIC seems to be becoming more and more popular, I can't help but start to have other ideas.

In fact, in previous negotiations, NEC and Toshiba asked for SIC's architectural drawings more than once.

But Hongchuan Feng never let go, so she postponed it until tomorrow.

Now that we can’t negotiate, we can simply use the government’s help to force SIC to open up the technology to them.

To be honest, Hongchuan Feng was really angry with those guys. As expected, no capitalist has a bad heart.

Seeing Hongchuan Kaede's angry expression, Akihito comforted him.

"Don't worry, they are only making suggestions to the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. The specific implementation will not be implemented in a short time.

It’s okay for me to know about Bu Nao, at least I’ll have some peace of mind in the future.”

Hongchuan Feng nodded, showing that his heart was bright.

"Prince Diandong, thank you for informing me, SIC will be fully prepared."

Akihito nodded and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"You're wrong about Hongchuan. Please remember what the soil is for enterprises to survive. Never go against the will of the government at any time. Remember!"

"Hongchuan Minghong!" Hongchuan Feng bowed again to express his gratitude.

Watching the couple leave, Hongchuan Feng secretly sighed, what a troubled time.
