This brief press conference of Dolphin Technology caused an uproar within the 17 countries in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. Countries urgently discussed countermeasures, and companies proposed to their respective countries to lift Dolphin Technology's sanctions. The people were seriously dissatisfied with the country, and so on! In short, it was a mess.

Especially companies such as Intel, HP, IBM, AMD, and Deyi, which not only design chips but also manufacture them themselves, felt tremendous pressure, and it felt like a dark cloud cover.

They are now thinking about whether they should continue to invest huge investment in the technological research and development and upgrading of chip production equipment. The technology generation gap of more than two and a half generations is not something they can catch up just by trying. It is possible that they can spend more than ten years to catch up. By then, the daylily will be cold and the company will go bankrupt.

Pain is the real feeling of all chip giants. If the reporters are worried that the chip companies in their respective countries will fall behind seriously, then they are truly desperate.

On the projector on Intel's board of directors, Wu Xiaobo's slightly proud speech introduced that the major directors looked over and over again, hoping to find a loophole in it to prove that Dolphin Technology is lying.

But the fact is so cruel. Wu Xiaobo announced many times that he would accept bookings from major companies around the world. This proves that they are already put into operation technology, not a scam, because real gold is not afraid of fire and without gold and steel drills, they would not dare to take on porcelain work.

Andy Grove, helplessly put down the controller, asked the directors in a low voice and mute voice.

"What do you think about this? Is it necessary for us to continue to invest huge investment in the research and development of chip manufacturing equipment?"

This matter is very difficult, and no director is willing to reply because they are also confused at this time.

Since its first day of its establishment, Intel has been based on technology as its foundation for its survival, defeating one powerful opponent after another without losing.

This time, they were asked to give up the technical research and development of chip manufacturing equipment, which was even more sad than killing them, but not giving up was obviously seeking death. The difference in technology generation is too big.

Thinking of Wu Xiaobo's announcement that Huasheng Microelectronics Group has broken through the 28-nanometer process technology, everyone was despaired.

If it is one generation shorter, you may still have confidence to catch up, but Intel has only mastered 90nm process technology at this time. This is not one generation or two generations, but it may be the gap between three generations.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Andy Grove called out the name of Andy Bryant, the company's CFO.

"Mr. Bryant, you are in charge of the technical department. You should first talk about your own opinions and don't have any scruples. We are solving the problem. You can say any bad views."

Andy Bryant is just an independent director and he won't speak at this time, but his position as technical president determines that he must speak.

So he had to bite the bullet and express his opinion.

"Chairman, dear directors, this matter is difficult to deal with. It is basically impossible for us to catch up with the level of that Chinese company through technical research and development.

The only thing we rely on now is our strong technical accumulation in the X86 chip architecture. Without our authorization, it is impossible for them to develop a desktop computer central processor.

However, in the field of server chips, we are obviously too far behind, and we may have to give up this part of the market.

What I worry most now is whether AMD will rush to do anything, form a ally with that Chinese company, only be responsible for design, then find that Chinese company to produce OEM, and sign a contract to exclude us. In this way, we will be passive, and maybe we will really lose the throne of global market overlords."

Yes! Intel's only rival is AMD. AMD's products almost completely overlap with Intel, forming a comprehensive competition.

Strictly speaking, Dolphin Technology has no direct competition with Intel, and Dolphin Technology is even a major customer of Intel. They purchased 20 million Pentium 4 chips this year alone.

Moreover, before Europe and the United States launched sanctions on Dolphin Technology, a considerable number of Intel's mid- and low-end chips were handed over to Huasheng Microelectronics for foundry.

In fact, several directors are afraid that AMD will form an alliance with Dolphin Technology and exclude Intel, which is the real despair.

As mentioned earlier, Huasheng Micro Electronics Group's biggest advantage is that it is cheap and has reached the world's top, and no chip manufacturing company can catch up.

These European and American chip giants produce themselves, which is much more expensive than asking Huasheng Micro Electronics Group to produce OEM. In the past, Huasheng Micro Electronics Group's process technology was one of the European and American generations. They still have huge advantages in the field of high-end chips, so they cannot feel the threat of Huasheng Micro Electronics Group, and the two sides can still cooperate happily.

Now that this situation is happening, Intel has a headache and is in a dilemma.

At the end of the meeting, Andy Grove made a decision.

"No matter what, we still have to send people to China to contact Dolphin Technology. We need to have more information before we can make the final decision.

If the situation is true and AMD has taken action, we will give up the technical research and development of chip manufacturing equipment. We will give up what we should give up, and it is not impossible to go into battle with light equipment."

Andy Grove's decision was a successful national plan, and it was unanimously approved by all directors and passed unanimously.

At the same time, the White House is also holding a special State of the Union Advisory Conference. This time, the discussion is not about the United States' internal affairs, but about the dolphin technology far away from the other side of the ocean.

Kerry (Defense Harmony), who has already served two presidents, sat high on the conference table in a small conference room. The first thing he asked was CIA Director George Tennett.

"Mr. George, this time something big happened to Dolphin Technology, didn't you have any news in advance?"

George Tennett immediately stood up and replied: "Mr. President, Dolphin Technology is a very special enterprise, and it is difficult for us to break into their internal affairs. Their employees live almost on an isolated island, isolated from the world, and basically do not come out.

Outsiders cannot enter the company. They have implemented strict intelligent security systems and no department can visit any department at will. Only a few senior executives of the company have the right to enter the science and technology research and development department.

This has brought great difficulties to our intelligence intrusion work, and we have almost no way to start, which is much more difficult than invading the top leaders of their government."

"You are an excuse. No matter what, they are just a private enterprise, how could they have no idea how to start? Does this mean that your intelligence work is very failed?" Ker's wife was obviously angry.

George Tenet was frightened by Kercher, and he quickly asked: "Mr. President, please give us some more time, we will definitely break into their company."

"It's a big trouble, it's a matter of trouble. Now I've been under tremendous pressure from all walks of life. I don't have much time to waste it for you. At most one week, I'll need a detailed report on Dolphin Technology."

"yes" George Tenett made a firm promise.

In fact, Kerry was wrongly blamed George. Not to mention seven days, even if he gave him another seven months, he would not have any idea of ​​installing intelligence personnel into Dolphin Technology.

After all, George stayed in Washington. He didn't know about Dolphin Technology. Dolphin Technology has complete living and entertainment facilities inside, and scientific researchers will basically not leave the industrial park.

The company recruits new employees and directly recruits from universities, so it has long stopped recruiting in society.

The most important thing is that scientific researchers only know the situation of the department and are strictly prohibited from visiting each other. They have limited knowledge, so what if they insert it? If they don’t become the senior management of Dolphin Technology, they will not get any useful information.

This time, Kerry is destined to be disappointed.
