Chapter 1252: Firing the First Shot in the Chip Field
After returning from the artificial island, Lu Feng called Zhou Han over and asked him to start preparing the advertisement for Tamron chips.
In order to demonstrate the power of the Tamron chip, Lu Feng even took out a few freshly castrated chips from the research institute and asked Zhou Han to use this as a selling point to start promoting it.
In order to quickly increase his popularity, Lu Feng also notified Internet companies such as Hanzi Dance and Baidu to help with advertising.
Like Huayu Group's nerve repair drug, news about the Tamron chip spread throughout China in a single day, causing an uproar.
The whole of China knew that an unknown small company had actually created a chip.
In a private manor in Hangzhou, Ma Tian was lying on a chair basking in the sun. Beside him were various fruits and snacks prepared by servants, and a pot of hot tea was steaming.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
A burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence.
Ma Tian opened his eyes upon hearing the voice. Just as he was about to scold the servant to keep his voice down, he suddenly discovered that the person who came was not a servant of the manor, but Feng Tianxiang, the president of Ali Jiujiu.
"It's Lao Feng, what's making you so flustered? Come, sit down and have a cup of tea first!"
Ma Tian took the opportunity to pick up a cup of tea and handed it to Feng Tianxiang. Although Feng Tianxiang looked very panicked, he was not worried at all.
It's not that he has confidence in Feng Tianxiang, but that he has confidence in himself and the entire Ali 99.
As the second largest Internet empire in China, he doesn't believe that anything in China can shake his Alibaba Empire.
However, Feng Tianxiang's words made his face change drastically.
"Mr. Ma, there's an emergency. Just now, a Chinese company announced that it has developed a chip and can complete all the production processes independently. The news has now spread throughout China."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Tian immediately sat up, the indifference on his face disappeared, replaced by a hint of shock.
"A Chinese company has developed its own chip and can also independently produce all the processes. Do you know what you are talking about?"
Ma Tian looked at me as if you were kidding me.
No one knows better than him what China's chip industry is like, because he once had the ambition to open up a new world for China's chips.
Even tens of billions of research funds were invested in this, and it took more than four years.
Unfortunately, the results were not satisfactory. Western countries’ blockade of China’s chip industry was too strict.
Even though the research institute he was planning had the support of Alibaba 99, it was unable to withstand the entire Western countries. In the end, the research institute that had invested tens of billions of dollars had to come to nothing.
At that time, he was also associated with Tengfei, Weihua, and other major mobile phone groups, but after a period of research, all the major groups gave up.
The reason is very simple: the investment is too large, the return is too small, and there is even no direction in sight.
As far as he knew, among this last group of groups, only Weihua was still persisting and had achieved considerable results.
But even for China, it has only developed one chip, but it is unable to produce it all by itself from scratch, and many processes still rely on foreign companies.
"Chairman, how dare I lie to you? Seriously, this company is called Tamron. Its predecessor was also a company in the chip field. It just helped some companies to outsource some steps."
Feng Tianxiang hurried to explain.
He didn't believe it when he first received the news, but now the facts are in front of him and he has no choice but to believe it.
"Show me the news!"
At this time, Ma Tian had no time to enjoy himself. If there really was a group in China that could achieve this, perhaps the entire Chinese Internet industry would usher in a major reshuffle.
After all, from the very beginning, the Internet industry and the chip field have been two inseparable fields.
Both sides achieve mutual success.
Feng Tianxiang didn't dare to delay and hurriedly handed over the phone.
When he saw the overwhelming news with his own eyes, Ma Tian still found it hard to believe.
"Do you think this could be a ploy by some stock market tycoon, designed to cause the so-called Tenglong Group's stock to surge so he can cash out at the peak?"
He looked at his capable subordinate, his tone still filled with disbelief.
Feng Tianxiang, who was standing by, also had a sudden realization when he heard this explanation.
Yeah, why didn't he think of this.
First, they use a gimmick to cause a stir, then get investors to follow suit, and finally cash out and run away with the money.
Isn't this what those who play the stock market like to use the most?
There were similar examples seven or eight years ago.
A business genius used the chip theme to defraud more than 10 billion yuan and ran away with the money abroad. Even the country was fooled at that time and provided more than 1 billion yuan in funding.
"Go check which company is the real power behind this group and see what they really want to do."
Ma Tian said coldly.
"Yes! I'm going right now!"
Feng Tianxiang responded and turned to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he saw He Qianshan, the vice president of Ali Jiujiu, walking towards him in a hurry.
His face was covered in sweat and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Chairman, Mr. Feng, there's no need to investigate the person behind the scenes. Just now, Tenglong Group launched another big move. You will never guess who is behind this company!"
He Qianshan walked quickly to the two of them.
"Mr. He, what do you mean by this? Do you know who is behind the Tenglong Group?"
Feng Tianxiang frowned.
Hearing the question, He Qianshan gasped, said nothing, and just took out his mobile phone and handed it over.
A video was playing on the phone. Ma Tian and Feng Tianxiang looked at each other and then looked at the video being played.
The video was shot very clearly, and Zhou Han's figure was clearly shown in it.
"Everyone, I know you are skeptical about the chips our group has released, thinking we are just trying to attract attention."
"Some people even suspected we were scamming people out of their money."
In the video, Zhou Han is wearing a high-end suit and his whole aura is full of energy.
Ma Tian only took one look and knew that this person was no ordinary person.
A person can pretend to be anything, but he cannot pretend to be confident.
"Could it be that this Tamron really has complete chip technology?"
Suddenly, such a thought popped up in his mind, but he did not speak out, just watched the video quietly.
At this moment, Zhou Han's speech has reached its climax.
"I know you're all curious about the origins of our group. Next, I'd like to invite my colleagues to take the stage!"
Zhou Han's words were powerful, and the camera shifted slightly, aiming at a place that looked like a passage.
The next second, a figure walked out, and when Ma Tian and Feng Tianxiang saw that figure, their pupils suddenly shrank!
