1. China's semiconductor, football and Hermes;
Author: white Source: Micro Network Set
The US ban on ZTE has pierced the leather of 'the country that has killed me.' It also stung the nerves of hundreds of millions of people. For why China does not do well in semiconductors, its own bricks explain it well: Because the United States We have been doing it for more than 100 years, and we have been doing it for 20 years. In this way, we have done a good job; because developed countries have a Wassenaar treaty, many equipment and materials are embargoed on us, so we can’t do well. Some of these brick houses are really ignorant, and more are deliberately deceiving them. Anyway, he only takes the aura of funds and honors. The national semiconductor industry is not developing well. It is all an 'external factor'. nothing.
In my opinion, China can't do a good job in the semiconductor industry. It's a truth to not play football and not make Hermes bags.
To say that the essence of China's current economy is not essentially different from more than 100 years ago, it is the 'buy office'. Our country believes that money is omnipotent, as long as it saves money, everything can be done. Just like home appliances, like cement, We didn't build it before, but it was made later, and it is also world-leading. As long as the factory is built, equipment is bought, and it can be produced, it can sell money. Unfortunately, semiconductors, football and Hermes do not conform to this rule.
First of all, we watch football. Our way is to spend money on coaches, please ask for foreign aid. It is said that the salary of our national football coach is more than the sum of the top three coaches of this World Cup. Looking at Europe, modern football is built on a set of scientific theories. On the basis of the system, pay attention to the system play, pay attention to the guarantee mechanism. The overall system of play, the athlete's diet structure, training methods, physical function data monitoring and adjustment, rehabilitation mechanism, etc., each sub-link has already been analyzed layer by layer, established A very high technical barrier. This kind of scientific analysis is the leading way in the global competition of modern Western industrial civilization. The victory of European football is the victory of industrial civilization thinking against other civilizations. Among the kinds of thinking, the first one is the guarantee of science, the organization method, the system, not the coach and foreign aid hired by the heavy money.
"The Rise of the Great Powers" provides an in-depth analysis of the rise of the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, the United States and other countries. In addition to the United States (both enthusiastic against physical basketball, rugby), these top powers are today The world's first football power. Is this a historical coincidence? Of course not. The world's first movement, and thus under the influence of the scientific mechanism, copied the power structure of the modern world. This World Cup, the same as the East Asian yellow people The Japanese team scored the top 16. The scientific thinking of the industrial powers created the same football power.
Next, look at Hermès. I used to stare at Hermès. Why can it sell so expensive? Most people will say: Because of its brand. I found out that it is far from being so simple. The problem lies in its design. The century-old brand is The money can't come out, this product can be sold so expensive, for so long, the answer can only have one, that is: It really is worth so much money. Hermes design, its pattern, color, style, not casual Design is not a sudden jump out of our time. It is actually a sediment of history, a heritage of artistic style, and a development of European art theory. This is what it really has. You are not facing a simple one. The cowhide bag, behind it is the Baroque era, the Rococo era, neoclassical, Bauhaus debate. So a cowhide bag made in Zhejiang, China can only sell a few hundred dollars, and the French Hermes leather bag can be sold to hundreds of thousands. yuan.
Let's talk about semiconductors. Some time ago, I saw a brick house saying that Chinese semiconductors are doing in the United States because the United States has been doing it for more than a hundred years. I was shocked, and the Americans were stunned by the world. In 1958, Kilby invented silicon. The IC has been secretly done for more than half a century? The truth is that China made its first integrated circuit two years after Kilby invented the chip process. In fact, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea are all less than 10 In the years to establish his position as a semiconductor powerhouse. Even though China has been in the process of the establishment of Shanghai Advanced Semiconductor in 1988, it has been 30 years since then, and we are still catching up and have been on the road. Our long-term measure is the government-led , the country invested money, airborne chairman. Management of this extremely professional industry by employers or government non-professionals, operating a contemporary and cutting-edge industry with the same comprading method more than 100 years ago. Under the scale of capital and power, The characteristics of the industry itself, the methodology becomes unimportant. FMEA, PSM, DOE, SPC, Hold Rate, Rework Rate, PCRB, YE, 8D Report plus semi-military management management concept, I am afraid that the so-called experts and scholars will not care; the core methods and management styles in the advanced manufacturing of semiconductors, I am afraid that not many decision makers want to listen to it? In fact, this is the real reason why China can not do semiconductors well.
Modern football theory has been around for more than 40 years, and modern art theory has been there for more than 100 years. The concept of the semiconductor industry is clear to every engineer, but it seems that the domestic 'boss' are not paying attention. So, China can’t play football, do If you don't have Hermes, you can't do chips, it's the same reason, that is, you don't respect knowledge.
So, when will China be able to do a good job in the semiconductor industry? The answer is: Wait until the Chinese team can play football. What do you say?

4. Russian media approves the US hype 'chip door': even football is afraid of how to engage in diplomacy
The Russian media said that the Western media made a sensation in nothing. The reason was that the Russian President Putin sent the chip to the US President Trump's football, and Moscow seems to be able to use it as a 'listener'. But this electronic device is What? Why put it on football?
According to the Russian "Viewpoint" website reported on July 26, the US Bloomberg News Agency released on the 25th "Putin gave Trump football with a transmitter chip" news, causing a sensation in the Western media.
The news said that Putin had a special chip for transmitting information to Trump's football in Helsinki. According to media sources, such chips can theoretically be programmed to attack mobile phones, but they cannot confirm this.
The report said that after the 'Temp Club', Republican Senator Lindsay Graham immediately suspected that Putin’s football was an intelligence device. Graham sent a tweet saying: 'Change to me, I will check if the football is loaded. Monitor the device and won't let it enter the White House.'
The report said that the White House decided to take this gift very seriously and conduct a related inspection. However, it should be noted that all such gifts are subject to inspection. Other countries have similar security regulations for gifts to the top leaders.
Trump's press secretary, Sarah Sanders, told Bloomberg: 'All the gifts required to go through the security steps have passed this football. We no longer comment on the security procedures.'
