Chapter 476 Shougang Ridian
"Mr. Zhou, it's been a long time since we met."
"Mr. Song, just call me Xiao Zhou, you call me Mr. Zhou or something--" Zhou Shuo said with some concern: "I'll just stop my life by myself, I'm afraid that my son will follow him."
"Oh?" Old Song was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Why, you already have a son? I haven't heard of it. Are you an illegitimate child? I said Xiao Zhou, I want to criticize you..."
"Old Song, what are you talking about? I mean my future son." Zhou Shuo touched his nose awkwardly and smiled bitterly: "I'm just making an example, just kidding, don't take it too seriously."
"Oh, haha!" Song Jian laughed happily and said, "Oh, you little Zhou, you have learned to be slutty after not seeing each other for so long!"
Who is Song Jian? The old man who Zhou Shuo called Mr. Song is amazing. He went to the former Soviet Union in 1953. He graduated from graduate school in 1960 and was a researcher. He was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering. He served as the director of the National Science and Technology Commission since 1984 and became a State Councilor in 1986. He served as a researcher, director of the Institute of Information Control of the Imperial Capital, chief teacher and deputy minister of the Seventh Ministry of Machinery.
Ministry of the Seventh Machinery is the competent department of the intercontinental missile and aerospace industry, and Mr. Song has made outstanding contributions to the development of China's anti-ballistic missile weapon system.
Mr. Song is also a well-known brand in the domestic scientific research and academic circles. Zhou Shuo has also made some achievements in academics, so he dared to make some jokes.
In fact, he and Zhou Shuo have met many times. The system that Zhou Shuo has always relied on is under his leadership. (It is the "big leader" of the Science and Technology Commission in front. It was just that the news was tight at that time, and I was cracking down on it all year long this year and I dared not write it directly.)
Mr. Song and Zhou Shuo said nothing. The door of the office was pushed open from outside. An old man who looked about the same age as Mr. Song pushed the door in and smiled and said, "I heard the laughter in the old building of the Science and Technology Commission from afar. What are you happy about?"
"Mr. Hu, you are here, please sit down." Mr. Song stood up and poured a glass of water for Mr. Hu, the Minister of Electronics Industry, and smiled and said, "This is not the scientific research achievements Xiao Zhou is talking about recently. I am happy to hear it! Our country has finally an entrepreneur who is willing to invest in scientific research."
Zhou Shuo stood up and greeted Mr. Hu, and said respectfully: "Hello Mr. Hu, long time no see you. You still look so good."
"Old, I'm going to retire in two years." Mr. Hu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I was a little worried that our country's electronics industry is really difficult. But in the past two years, I feel a little relieved as you grow up step by step."
"You are joking. My achievements are not based on national investment. Just like a lithography machine, if I don't have the foundation of 0.8 micron technology of the Microelectronics Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I would not be able to get the current production line. The Chinese market is very large. Even without me, our high-tech enterprises would still rise."
Mr. Hu slowly sat on the sofa, pointed at Zhou Shuo and smiled with satisfaction: "With your attitude, I believe that Fanhan Group's future achievements will not be too bad. Recently, I heard that you and the Xiao Wang from BOE want to set up an LCD display production line? LCD displays are the development direction of color TVs in the future. It's great if you dare to invest in this!"
"Before you came, I was talking about this with Mr. Song." Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "It's just that I have a situation that I have to report to you first. As the carrier of color TV, there is no technical problem. Our Panhan Research Institute has overcome the shortcomings of response delay and visual range. As long as we master the production technology of large-size substrates, the upgrading of color TV technology is not a problem."
"No wonder BOE is so eager now. It turns out that there is such great good news!" Mr. Hu laughed and nodded, "Tell me, what policies do the country needs to provide for you to develop the LCD industry?"
"I'll say this, Mr. Hu, don't be angry." Zhou Shuo looked at Mr. Hu with some concern.
Mr. Hu said dismissively: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it quickly. I'm all about to retire from the second line. Where are you angry with?"
Zhou Shuo took a deep breath and said seriously: "Then I said that I hope to form an alliance similar to a Japanese consortium in the future with the LCD industry as a link."
"Hiss--" Old Hu frowned and said, "Xiao Zhou, tell me what you think."
"Mr. Hu, actually, my idea is very simple. No matter how big the domestic market is, our Chinese companies will not have a future if they cannot go out." Zhou Shuo said seriously: "But no matter whether it is the United States, Japan and Europe, no market is easy to open. Only by joining the group can you find a glimmer of vitality in the international market."
"At present, the developed countries in the world mainly have passed the era of free capitalism and have entered monopoly capitalism. In Japan, the economy is mainly controlled by consortiums. The US economy is controlled by Wall Street, and the European economy is controlled by major trust companies. This is the mainstream of the advanced world."
"But in our country, I'm afraid there is no soil for the birth of trusts at present, and the financial industry is even more powerful to affect the domestic environment. So only the consortium model is a seemingly feasible path. In fact, if I don't need to say, the country is already experimenting with this path. Not to mention anything else, Shougang Group focuses on producing steel, and also operates various industries such as machinery, electronics, real estate, service industry, overseas trade, etc., cross-regional, cross-ownership, and cross-border operations. But I have to say that Shougang's attempt cannot be said to be failure, but it is not a success."
"The reason is very simple, that is, Shougang is too independent and has no backbone."
Although Shougang Group has a word of steel in its name, it is actually a behemoth with a wide range of knowledge. Shougang Group was the owner of the most advanced chip production line in China in 1995. It and Nec jointly established in 1991, Shougang Nidian Electronics Co., Ltd., after technological upgrades in December 1995, were able to produce 0.5 micron and 6-inch wafers.
Of course, in Zhou Shuo's history, it was soon broken by Huajing in 1996. But in the original history, Shougang's technology was unique at that time. However, Shougang's own technology was extremely poor and he could not grasp the production level of nec at all. The entire Shougang's daily life was controlled by Nec, which was actually very similar to BOE's situation.
In addition to the electronics industry, Shougang is also actively entering other industries, such as real estate, international trade, etc. As a heavy industrial steel enterprise, it can be said that it is quite inappropriate...
But Shougang itself does not have core technology, but does not want to spit out the nec that it eats, so it can only become a production base for Nec. It has been exposed to Shi Jingshan's air because of pollution. It took more than ten years until the world has entered the micro-nano era. Nec can be said to have squeezed out the benefits of Shougang NIC and gradually transferred its shares to Shougang Group.
When I first thought about using the market for technology, the market was lost and the technology was not obtained. Shougang might have made two money, but it left a lot of pollution and troubles in Shijingshan District, which made me feel bad inside and outside.
As soon as Zhou Shuo said these two sentences, Mr. Hu fell into deep thought.
Shougang introduced the Nec to establish Shougang, and it was once highly expected by the Ministry of Electronics Industry. However, after several years of operation, Mr. Hu also had his own considerations in his mind. If the market was transferred and shares were transferred, would he really get technology? If Fanhan Group had not emerged, Shougang NIC invested in the 0.5 micron production line in 1996, would it be good or bad for the country?
For four years, Shougang Nikkei's key technical positions are still in the hands of Nec. The company's operation and management positions are also in the hands of the Japanese. Chinese can only serve as grassroots labor positions and have no say in technology. As for Chinese scientific researchers to visit and learn from, they are even more unthinkable.
Such cooperation will eventually lead to the Chinese becoming a working person. The factory is very cautious about you. What's the use of building 11,000 such factories on Chinese land?
Therefore, Shougang's all-round development cannot be said to have failed. At least the scale has increased and some money has been made. But the most fundamental technology has been a complete failure.
Which of the several first-tier wafer factories in China in later generations grew up on the basis of Shougang R&D?
Seeing Mr. Hu's expression of recognition on his face, Zhou Shuo was excited and continued to work hard: "Old Hu, so the development of octopus like Shougang is not good. If you want to form a consortium-style organization in China, there must be two elements."
"First, we must take an industry with technological advantages as the backbone and obtain capital in the market that can compete with foreign companies."
"Second, we must widely unite domestic enterprises that are interested in this to form an industrial chain with close upstream and downstream connections."
"When such an industrial alliance is established, it will be based on it and extend its tentacles to other related industries in society. Finally, it will form a Japanese consortium-like loose monopoly organization, which will use the strength of this organization to unite domestic commercial capital and compete with foreign monopoly organizations."
"Monopoly." When Mr. Hu heard Zhou Shuo's word, his face gradually sank. He frowned and asked, "Xiao Zhou, tell me what I really want to use for this organization?"
