Empire of the Chip Industry

I see there isn't a single security guard or bodyguard, not even a doorman. The author keeps saying the company has fewer than 50 people, no legal department, how are you going to fight a lawsuit? You're underestimating capitalists! With billions in profits, who else would they target but you? If I were Cheung Tze-keung, I'd kidnap you and demand billions first.

In the early 1990s, building a chip factory cost around 1 billion to several billion US dollars. Prices increased significantly over time; advanced chips weren't sold to you, and you could only buy chips two generations behind. By the time you'd saved enough money to build a chip factory, it would probably cost 10 billion US dollars.

This kind of company should at least have an R&D department, finance department, design department, production department, and sales department. I don't know about other departments, since I'm not in this industry. I've read over a hundred chapters, and there's absolutely no company planning (annual revenue is over a hundred million dollars, and they ask their R&D assistant about production capacity, hahaha (ಡωಡ)hia). Put some effort into writing more about company structure.

This book is ridiculous and absurd. It's unbelievable that a company with only a few dozen employees and no legal counsel could win a lawsuit.

I don't know how this one is, since I abandoned two of them.

That's amazing, two people in one company, it's hilarious.

I'm going to write a novel about chips. I'll start with a sentence like, "After several years of investing heavily in research and development, our company has developed chips that are more advanced than those of other countries." Then I'll add, "Now the whole world is using our chips, generating over $100 billion in revenue for the company every month, and it's still growing rapidly." And that's the end of the novel. How simple is that?

Seeing the Alibaba Cloud PC client device reminded me of the scene in "The Three-Body Problem" where future humans would want to tap on any flat glass panel they saw. With 5G, coupled with cloud computing and cloud computing terminals, there's no need to buy chips and assemble computers anymore. Cloud computing service providers and chip manufacturers have stronger bargaining power. Future games will be more like browser games.

A company that can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year doesn't even have a proper corporate structure, yet it helps dozens of companies improve their departments. I just can't understand how much money and effort it would take to improve a company! Headhunters must have existed in 1996!

Author, I have a question: will you develop Chinese-language underlying chips and Chinese-language programming in the future? Having read so many books about the fundamentals of English, well, I don't even know if the government has this in mind! Although there are a few books about the fundamentals of Chinese, they all fall apart in the later stages!
