Since the photolithography machine sold for so much money, the CPU manufactured by the photolithography machine was no exception.
As mentioned before, in order to make the 50nm photolithography machine popular, Daqian sold the 50nm process chips in large quantities at mid-range and high-end prices. Although the major companies reacted quickly and bought the Daqian photolithography machine in large quantities, it would take at least a year from purchase to production.
In this year, no one could compete with Daqian's mid-range and high-end chips. Moreover, it was not only mobile phones and computers that required a CPU in the world. In fact, from small electronic watches to large excavators, they all required a variety of chips. Among them, the demand for 50nm chips was especially large.
Daqian also launched a chip customization service in various markets. Some professional chips could be customized directly. This allowed Daqian Electronics to sell chips happily in the past few years.
In 2004, chips were sold for nearly 50 billion in revenue. In addition to some other Daqian Electronics products, the total revenue of Daqian Electronics in 2004 reached 92.4 billion USD.
It was worth mentioning that Daqian Electronics faced fierce competition in 2005 because Intel and other companies' 50nm photolithography machine had been fully developed. It was believed that Intel's chips would dominate the market from 2005 to 2006. After all, at the same price, the brand value was more trustworthy.
Moreover, Intel's accumulation of chip architecture, channels, and other aspects were much better than Daqian's. Daqian's 50nm chips were still lacking in performance, so they would definitely lose the market.
However, it did not matter. In 2007, Daqian could start to sell the original 30nm process chips as mid-range and high-end chips. At that time, the 30nm photolithography machine would not need to be pre-ordered. The annual sales would be limited to about a dozen units. Instead, they would sell it openly and copy the 50nm photolithography machine. Four to five hundred units would be sold in three years, completely turning the 30nm chips into mid-range and high-end chips. Then, Daqian would introduce the 18nm high-end chips and photolithography machine.
This money could continue to be earned until the next limit of the 5nm photolithography machine. However, by that time, Da Qian's technical shortcomings in other aspects of the chip would also be made up. By then, he would have to rely on the multi-core performance and single-core performance to fight!
The last of the four new pillars of the industry was the energy industry.
This was the Daqian's newest industry. In 2001, Daqian Energy had just entered the automotive industry. However, in 2004, Daqian earned nearly 40 billion USD in revenue in a year just by relying on the Daqian's different series of models.
This was Daqian's sales in the domestic market. Otherwise, it would be too little for Daqian to earn 40 billion USD in the global automotive market of 2.8 trillion USD.
However, Daqian Energy's most profitable business was not cars, but Daqian's power stations.
Although some private companies had imported Daqian's power station technology and standards and built their own power stations, 80% of the power stations in the country were still owned by Daqian. Therefore, 80% of the country's electric scooters had to go to Daqian's power stations for power stations to change.
As Daqian fully opened up the electric scooter technology and standards to the big names in the domestic automotive industry in 2001, the hardworking people of Hua Xia, as well as the money-hungry automotive companies, started to introduce their own electric scooter models at the end of 2002.
At the beginning of 2005, there were 66 million motor vehicles in the country. Among them, 30 million were traditional cars, and the remaining 36 million were electric scooters. This was a historic milestone for Hua Xia's electric scooters to surpass traditional cars.
80% of these 36 million electric scooters were changed at Daqian's power stations. Daqian's annual membership fee alone was as high as 10 billion USD.
However, this was not the main source of income. The main source of income was the cost of selling batteries.
Because of Daqian's power station policy, electric scooters did not need to buy batteries. The ones that needed to buy batteries were the power stations. Because of the problem of the business model, when the power stations were just built, the cost of buying batteries was the most terrifying.
In the whole of 2004, Daqian Energy sold nearly 40 billion USD worth of batteries in the country. The revenue was similar to that of electric scooters. Although most of the batteries were bought by Daqian's power stations, this was still a solid revenue. Therefore, Daqian Energy's revenue in 2005 reached 95.9 billion USD, becoming the biggest industry under Daqian.
Well, it was proven that the automotive industry was indeed the industry with the craziest revenue. Daqian Energy had entered the industry for only three years, but it was already the company with the highest revenue under Daqian.
However, Daqian Energy also suffered the most losses. In 2004, it lost 60 billion USD. Almost all of Daqian Group's annual profits were used to fill this bottomless pit.
Fortunately, after 2006, Daqian would stop buying batteries and building new power stations in large quantities. Instead, they would give these markets to private companies and private enterprises.
After all, many people in China were cursing Daqian for monopolizing the market. Therefore, they should give up this industry. Daqian even planned to gradually sell all of Daqian's power stations in the future and completely withdraw from the power station industry.
Because in this way, Daqian would only need to sell batteries to others. This was a huge net profit. When the time came, Daqian Energy's huge loss would be filled up in an instant. It would turn from a bottomless pit into a money-squandering pit. Wouldn't that be perfect?
These four major industries formed the new pillars of the Da Qian Group. In addition to the other industries, the total annual revenue of the Da Qian Group reached 368.2 billion USD.
Every figure was supported by detailed internal financial data. This was indeed Da Qian's annual revenue. Therefore, unless Wal-Mart and the rest also fabricated financial reports like Enron, but unlike Enron, Wal-Mart and the rest only focused on reducing the financial data instead of enlarging the financial data to create financial reports, then Da Qian was indeed the world's number one company.
However, Fortune magazine ranked Daqian 10th, and their annual revenue was only 147.2 billion USD. Many people were shouting that Daqian's performance in 2004 had regressed. After all, Daqian still had 150 billion USD of revenue in 2003.
These things made the Da Qian people's teeth ache, and they couldn't laugh even if they wanted to. They all lamented that the Fortune magazine was still as snobbish as ever. Ever since the Da Qian Corporation had first appeared on the list, they had never given the Da Qian Corporation an accurate estimate of the figures.
