Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology Chapter 316

What Americans emphasize most is "democracy" and "equality".

Although democracy here actually means voting.

The Semiconductor Association accepted a proposal from Micron to permanently exclude carbon crystal memory from the PC industry chain.

This decision requires a vote.

However, in the eyes of many people, this is a form, because the current carbon crystal memory has been excluded from the PC industry dominated by the United States.

But this decision is very important, which shows the attitude of the Semiconductor Association and has a guiding role for the entire industry.

At the conference, Missili of course denounced the carbon crystal memory, the words are nothing more than endangering the safety of users, threatening the semiconductor industry chain of the United States and so on.

Missili said: "The delegates are now invited to vote on whether to agree with Micron's proposal to exclude carbon memory from the PC industry supply chain."

Voting is a differential vote based on industry weight. If more than half of the industry votes, then the agreement is passed.

For example, there are five member units in the memory industry, so the weight of each vote only accounts for 20%. If three member units vote, then the memory industry resolution is passed.

The Semiconductor Association has multiple industries such as memory and chips, and all industries need more than half of the votes.

It stands to reason that the vote must be a sure thing. It is in the interest of everyone present to prevent Changtian Technology's carbon crystal memory from entering the PC semiconductor industry.

Therefore, in the face of this vote, companies such as Micron, Seagate and Kingston are all very optimistic.

Missili thinks so too.

The most important thing for the Semiconductor Association is not the vote this time, but to find a way to make Changtian Technology completely withdraw from the competition in the memory industry.

"We're going to vote now," Missiri said from the podium in the conference room.

The conference room of the Semiconductor Association is very large, and the voting table is like the big round table of the United Nations.

The first to vote is the memory industry.

Of course it was unanimously approved.

Micron, Kingston and other companies hope that the Semiconductor Association can take measures as soon as possible to prohibit the use of carbon crystals in the PC industry.

This kind of prohibition is a comprehensive prohibition, not just on the new generation of motherboards.

Next is the motherboard industry.

Also all the delegates passed unanimously.

Compared with chips and memory, the technical content of motherboards is not high, so most companies are located in places such as Wanwan and South Korea, and there are not many local companies in the United States.

After several rounds of voting, the motion proposed by Magnesium was passed unanimously.

Finally, it is the turn of the chip industry.

There are many chip companies in the United States, but only Intel and AMD, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and other companies have the right to speak.

The show of hands began.

Intel raised its hand in agreement.

After all, the current situation in the PC market is best for Intel.

The new generation of executives is powered by the Pentium 4 processor, which has left AMD far behind.

Although Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and other companies produce chips, most of these chips are used in the industrial and communication fields, and their share in the PC industry is very small.

Missili's people focused on AMD, and AMD's representatives voted against it.

This time the whole audience exclaimed.

No one expected that AMD would actually stand on the side of Changtian Technology.

However, everyone thought about it for a while, and felt that AMD's vote against it was understandable, and it had nothing to do with Changtian Technology. After all, there was a conflict of interest between AMD and Intel.

AMD's disapproval vote cannot change the final result of this resolution, just show his attitude.

But what happened next shocked everyone.

A number of chip companies belonging to the chip industry, including Texas Instruments and Qualcomm, also voted against it.

In order to help Changtian Technology and safeguard its own interests, AMD has spent a lot of effort to lobby these companies to stand on their side some time ago.

Chip companies have their own minds.

The development of the PC industry has been very good in recent years. Of course, Intel has caught up with this wave of dividends and gained a lot of profits.

Intel's transcript has made many chip companies jealous.

Now that we can work with AMD to delay or prevent Intel's development as much as possible, of course everyone is happy to help.

In particular, after hearing that Intel would enter chips in the enterprise and communications fields, Texas Instruments stood firm on AMD's side.

The seemingly harmonious semiconductor association finally exposed his internal problems.

Missili was taken aback, did not expect that there would be so many chip companies supporting Changtian Technology!

He hurriedly said into the microphone: "Please see the voting instrument in the hands of the delegates. The circle means agree, X means disagree, and the triangle in the middle means abstaining. I hope you don't vote wrong."

A representative for Texas Instruments said: "We made no mistake, it was our decision."

"what's going on?!"

"This means the agreement has been rejected!"

"Does Changtian Technology have an interest relationship with them?"

Representatives of companies such as Micron and Kingston were extremely puzzled, their faces darkened, which meant that the proposal had not been passed.

It also means that the Semiconductor Association Association will not issue any conclusive opinions on carbon memory.

That is to say, even if the relevant departments of the United States prohibit the sales of carbon crystals in the United States, this will not hinder the cooperation between the member units of the Semiconductor Association and Changtian Technology.

It also means that PC products using carbon crystal memory can be sold to Europe, as well as Toyo, South Korea and other regions.

If the carbon crystal memory is approved by the US Department of Commerce, the product can even be sold in the US market.

While everyone was in a daze, the voting continued.

The final round is for PC companies to vote.

PC companies such as HP, Toshiba, and Samsung undoubtedly voted against it.

The size of the Shenchuan is still small, but Toshiba and Samsung have already seen the combat effectiveness of survival. If memory is not banned at this time, after the Shenchuan is raised and developed, the future Shenchuan will be even more difficult to deal with than Lianxiang.

Therefore, even if they knew that the final voting result could not be passed, these PC companies still voted in favor.

The only dissenting vote came from Dell.

Dale's vote even more confused everyone.

"What's the situation?! Is there any cooperation between Changtian Technology and Dell?"

"Isn't Dell afraid of offending Intel and those motherboard companies?"

"In the round of the chip industry, the vote has actually been rejected. Dell can completely abstain or vote in favor. What does he mean by voting against?"

Dell's representative also heard everyone's comments, he said into the microphone: "We oppose this proposal, and would like to ask you what is the original intention of the establishment of the Semiconductor Association?

Committed to the development of the global semiconductor industry, absorbing and developing advanced science and technology. "

"Actually, we all know very well that Changtian Technology's carbon crystal memory technology is one of the most advanced technologies in the semiconductor industry."

"But some companies ~www.mtlnovel.com~ strongly oppose it because of their own interests!"

"As one of the PC companies, Dell is very aware of the weight of carbon crystal memory. We hope that such advanced technology products can be accepted by the association and known to more consumers. This is what our association should do. matter."

After speaking, Dell's representative left the meeting after closing the microphone.

The whole conference room was noisy, and the person was completely dumbfounded.

The remarks of the Dell representative have made it clear that Dell and Changtian Technology have cooperated in carbon crystal memory.

Missili's face was very bad. He didn't expect that the final voting result would be like this!

This kind of voting result, Missili is unacceptable, and there is no way to explain to the above capital.

Missili said into the microphone: "Voting is over, the meeting is over!"

An angry Missili returned to the office, he packed his things and got ready to leave work.

At this time, Missili's assistant said: "Mr. Chairman, I think we should change the voting rules. We should not conduct differential voting by industry. All association units should vote together, as long as half of the votes pass!"

Missili was in a very bad mood at this time, he turned his head and cursed: "FXXXX, BXXX!"

The assistant quickly shut up, knowing that he touched Missili's bad head.

Missili came to the door of the office building, and the reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed up and pointed the microphone and camera at the chairman of the Semiconductor Association.
