Chapter 423 The fate of the enterprise
"Do you need to get a 50,000-ton water press at one time?" Hu Wenhai held the phone in his hand and kept walking under his feet.
"The investment increases by 200 million yuan, and it still requires Romania's relationship? I will call Ceausescu, and there should be no problem in this regard. What does Professor Yan say? Are there any technical difficulties?"
"Oh, 15,000 tons of free forging can be done. This issue will be decided by your internal decision-making of China Railway Construction Investment. This is a very important quality for the long-term development of the bank. We must try our best to maintain this atmosphere and environment, and do not suppress the enthusiasm of the front-line personnel below."
"Governor Fang still has to run to Japan more recently. It is not enough to rely on our own strength alone. Fighting for Japan's black circulation is the fundamental solution to the upgrading of the industrial system of Baixiu Railway and China Shipbuilding Corporation..."
Hu Wenhai called all the way. When he threw his elder brother to Wang Ye, he was already in front of the big square in front of the Xinke Fax Production Workshop.
Xinke Fabs is located on the seaside of Pudong, the Magic City City Government has opened a copy of the Pudong Development Zone in advance.
Unlike the later Chinese financial center, the main force of Pudong's economy is a technology company rushing to move in.
Mainly the upstream and downstream industries of Xinke Fabs, the upstream manufacturers are mainly Japanese companies. Tokuyama Satoshi, High-purity Silicon and Osaka Titanium Manufacturing Co., Ltd., three polysilicon manufacturers have set up special branches in Pudong to sell polysilicon raw materials to Komatsu Electronics and Shinjo Semiconductor to produce five-inch semiconductor silicon circles.
Komatsu Electronics and Shinjo Semiconductor are the two largest semiconductor-grade monocrystalline silicon manufacturers in Japan. The two companies have even established joint ventures with Xinke Fabs to produce and supply monocrystalline silicon in Pudong.
Since 1985, trade frictions between Japan and the United States have become increasingly intensified. Japan's monocrystalline silicon production industry, as a major exporter, has been greatly affected. Polycrystalline silicon has been seriously backlogged, and the domestic production capacity of monocrystalline silicon is oversupply. In addition, China's rapid rise of color TV industry has led to a cliff in Japan's integrated circuit sales. Nowadays, monocrystalline silicon manufacturers with no bargaining power have already opened up sub-bases in China. It is worth celebrating the performance.
Not only the companies that produce raw materials, but also the companies that produce equipment have quickly established sales branches in Pudong. Canon, Nikon, and the United States Platinum Elmer are all internationally renowned lithography machine manufacturers.
It is not only a supplier of lithography machines, such as ADE, which produces automatic probe tables, BTU and Thermco, which use robotic loading and unloading plasma etching machines.
These semiconductor production lines, which seem to be "not that important" companies have also flocked to them, actively establishing sales branches in Pudong, and even a joint venture with China.
Unlike the future monopoly of semiconductor production equipment by a few large enterprises, during this period, semiconductor production enterprises showed a trend of controversy among hundreds of schools of thought.
In an era when there are only three lithography machine companies in the world, it seems hard to imagine that there was another period where there were hundreds of lithography machine manufacturing companies in the world. In addition to the familiar Canon and Nikon, PERKIN-ELMER, MICRALIGN, GCA, GUINTEL, EATON...
This long list of names represents the development direction of a lithography machine and its absolute minimum share in the market.
The Xinke Fabs seems to have opened a gap in the embankment, and it has become possible to ban semiconductor technology that was originally prohibited from exporting to China. Although the current most advanced technology level does not allow it, the ban on processing technology above 2 microns has actually been lifted.
The entire Chinese market has opened up to the world's semiconductor industry. How can this not be ecstatic? The influx of semiconductor equipment manufacturers has made Pudong shine with a completely concealed Zhongguancun.
For a time, it seemed that semiconductor equipment manufacturers could be found in the world, and they could find their traces in Pudong. Without joint ventures or sales branches, the worst thing was that one or two offices or representative offices could be found in a building that had not been renovated.
China's blue ocean attracts the attention of every giant ship in the semiconductor industry.
Driven by Xinke Fax, many domestic companies have also released their own semiconductor production plans.
Shougang Group is in contact with Japan's NEC, hoping to build a semiconductor production line with the help of NEC. Magic City Venus and Magic City Bell are in contact with each other, hoping to jointly afford the investment in a semiconductor production line. Changhong is even more ambitious to introduce a color TV integrated circuit production line from Panasonic.
As for other enterprises and plans with relatively low success and smaller scale, there are even more. When Xinke Group stated that it could provide 68,000 production authorization, almost every province had plans to set up its own wafer fab.
1.5 microns, 2 microns cannot be used, and 4 micron and 5 micron production lines can produce up to 10 million US dollars of early Apple Macintosh computer-level CPUs. No matter how poor the provinces are, 10 million US dollars can still be obtained. The only thing that restricts these production plans is the only problem of talent reserves.
Some companies plan to take the wrong path, which is a sharp market sense. Seeing that the domestic electronics industry is about to usher in a spring breeze, the integrated circuit production line is not good, but can't PCB and electronic components be built? There can't be integrated circuits, so there is no need for accessories such as resistors, capacitors and inductors? Besides, printing PCB is also a good business, with small investments and wide applications. Even the toy factory in Shentuchuan can swallow astronomical PCB supply every year.
Especially in the construction of Xinke Fabs, the Ministry of Electronics Industry and some senior leaders who participated in the entire process also discovered a problem. The development speed of semiconductor technology has made the industry very sensitive to time. At that time, the equipment purchased by Xinke Fabs was still the world's leading level, and after it was completed, it became world-class. When the technology of this set of equipment is truly mastered, it is probably the world's mainstream level.
How long will this technological progress take? It only takes two years to make a full decision. In two years, perhaps the Ministry of Electronics Industry has not had time to complete the approval process after a local report was posted.
In the past, the Ministry of Electronics Industry did not think that this was anything. After all, the products produced by units such as electronic tube factories in their hands may not have changed in a few years. As for the production lines, they are even more than a few key companies, and have not been updated in more than ten years.
Not to mention it, Xiucheng Huaguang Electronic Tube Factory was put into production in 1965, and by 1985, the batch of equipment that was used to manufacture audio for the Japanese was still used. Even the number of Factory 777 painted on the workshop wall could barely be seen.
Obviously, such a rhythm cannot meet the operating needs of wafer fabs. Now the Ministry of Electronics Industry and the National Wu Academy are also studying whether the authority for approval and investment can be delegated to local enterprises for their own operations.
After seeing such a trend, international semiconductor equipment manufacturing companies have stepped up their pace to enter China.
For example, today's production ceremony of Xinke Fabs, the solar energy of the August Magic City brought people - wait a moment, the sun in Magic City is very different from the dazzling suns in the south recently, and it has been raining for seven consecutive days!
It was finally clear that it was really a great feeling for people to miss!
The dry air and the clouds floating from time to time made the crowd sitting in the square feel much more relaxed.
At this time, in the square temporarily renovated in the parking lot in front of the Xinke Fax production workshop, most of the people sitting in the seats had obvious foreign appearances. Among the remaining half, half were Japanese and Singaporeans, and among the remaining half, many were from Treasure Island.
Hu Wenhai quietly walked towards his seat, and a person on the stage who looked like a leader was speaking.
"The fate of an enterprise..."
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Cai? Welcome! How is the business recently? If necessary, we can continue to inject capital in new science and technology!" Hu Wenhai walked halfway and saw Cai Jieming in front of him, and greeted him with a smile.
"Ah haha, don't bother Mr. Hu." Cai Jieming smiled awkwardly. If Xinke invests again, his small company will have to be changed to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinke: "We plan to make an audio decoding chip recently, and it's going well."
"That's good. I hope you, oh, should call us and succeed as soon as possible." Hu Wenhai smacked his lips unwillingly. Cai Jieming was probably working on MP3 decoding chips. He was still a little jealous of this project.
However, he didn't take it too seriously. 70% of Cai Jieming's joint development IC design technology company is in the hands of Xinke Group. Even if the project cannot be grabbed, Xinke will have to use the MP3 player in the future, it will be the left hand to the right hand.
"On behalf of all colleagues in the company, I thank Mr. Hu for your concern." Cai Jieming nodded and bowed.
"Of course, you have to rely on your own struggle..."
Hu Wenhai took two more steps. It was not someone else sitting in front of him. Isn’t this Zhang Zhongmou who is already preparing for the Xiangjiang Fab?
"Mr. Zhang is here too! How is Baodao's wafer fab project? Have the British let it go?" Hu Wenhai held Zhang Zhongmou's hand and smiled very much.
Things are impermanent, Zhang Zhongmou sighed in his heart, who would have thought that he would have a home one day and could not go back? Fortunately, Comrade Jianfeng was sick recently - it is likely that because of the Jingguo name leaked the case. The highly confidential military intelligence named after him was mastered by the other side, and the slap in the face was too cruel.
But since there was something wrong with Comrade Jianfeng's health, at this critical juncture, Zhang Zhongmou's family was protected to a certain extent and was not implicated.
"The UK has found several key figures, and now everything is ready. Even in progress, it is definitely not as fast as Mr. Hu's new wafer fab." Zhang Zhongmou smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.
The Xiangjiang Fab originally planned to use a 1 micron process, but both the UK and the United States gritted their teeth and refused to put this license. In the end, they only agreed to use a 2 micron process technology. Fortunately, the IGCT's analog circuit is not so picky, and 2 microns is only 2 microns, which will not affect everyone's money making.
However, many places in China plan to go to wafer factories, and waste their time on the lack of talent, they all use the idea of this wafer factory. Interns who cannot send to Xinke wafer factory can send them to the Xiangjiang wafer factory. It can be imagined that after the Xiangjiang wafer factory is put into production, the yield rate will be not very good for a long time.
Various reasons in all aspects have greatly disturbed Xiangjiang Fabs, and it is not surprising that Zhang Zhongmou shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Hu Wenhai greeted him lightly and greeted him, and then continued to walk towards his position.
"But we must also consider the historical process..."
When Hu Wenhai walked to his seat, the leaders on the stage had finished their speech and left the stage surrounded by a group of people and left.
"Mr. Hu! The leader still needs to be busy, so he goes back first and asks me to come over and say sorry."
Secretary Lan sat down next to Hu Wenhai and said apologetically.
Hu Wenhai waved his hands repeatedly: "What did Secretary Lan say? The chief has a lot of workdays. It is not easy to attend today's ceremony. We have nothing to say unsatisfied."
Secretary Lan nodded, and originally just made some polite decisions, then asked: "The leader asked me to understand the production process. What is the yield rate now? How long does it take to improve to profitability? How much does the product sales lead?"
It is said to be a production ceremony, but of course it is impossible to erect a monument like the foundation laying ceremony. The leaders used a shovel to fill it with a shovel of soil. In fact, the first production plan of Xinke Fabs had already begun, and now this ceremony is more like a "re-ordering".
But after all, it is just to find an excuse to bring the stakeholders of Xinke Fabs to meet and show their faces.
As for whether it is a reissue, it is not a big deal to get on the bus first and then get a ticket, or even get married with a child!
Secretary Lan asked about the implementation of the first batch of production plans of Xinke Fax.
Hu Wenhai pondered and said, "The yield rate is still good. Our workers have worked in Motorola's semiconductor factory, and the equipment purchased is all the same model of Motorola. After accumulating experience in small-scale trial production, the yield rate of the first batch of production plans reached 75%. In fact, when it comes to this line, it should be said that it has profitability. A yield rate of 90% should be achieved before next year's Spring Festival. It is optimistic that it will take two years to reach Motorola's same level of yield rate. As for product sales, there is no need to worry about this."
Hu Wenhai calculated with his finger: "Just to supply domestic demand for 68,000 CPUs, our production capacity is now fully occupied. In the future, we still plan to produce memory, configure a graphics card for game consoles sold to the Soviet Union, and also a data storage chip without mechanical structures. Secretary Lan, please rest assured that our production capacity is far from meeting the demand, and there is no possibility of backlog of any chip produced."
