Chapter 233 Trial Production
On the hot summer in late August, when Liu Kan saw the sun outside again, he didn't feel any warmth at all.
No matter how strong the sun shines on him, he still cannot drive away the chill in his heart. Although the one hundred single crystal furnaces are self-produced and assembled, each one has a cost of 500,000 yuan, which is 50 million yuan.
If we include the entire clean room, ancillary office buildings, various instrument testing equipment, worker training and mastery of quartz crucible technology, Fanhan Group's investment in this monocrystalline silicon factory will be nearly 100 million yuan. If the money was made from the 908 project, he would not have imagined how difficult the task would be.
He even ran for more than half a year to introduce five Japanese single crystal furnaces and 1% shares. Not only did he not run, but he was flirting with it. If he wanted to build a single crystal silicon factory with a scale of Panhan wafer factory, he would not see any hope without a three to five-year application and approval process.
How rapid is the technology development of the semiconductor industry in the international industry? How could it be wasted three to five years? Moreover, it is probably unknown whether the 908 project can continue after three to five years.
"I don't know how Mr. Liu's professional vision thinks our Panhan Group's monocrystalline silicon production workshop is like?" Zhou Shuo took a deep breath, stood under the shade of the tree and asked with a smile.
Liu Kan shook his head in dismay and sighed: "I'm afraid I can count the clean room in China that can surpass it here."
"Then you should understand that with a 2 billion investment of 908 Project, it is impossible to build a planned chip production line." Zhou Shuo said seriously: "If advanced management and more funds cannot be introduced, the failure of the 908 Project will be inevitable."
His words were a bit naked, and it was very talked about in the 908 Project Huajing Group. In the final analysis, it cannot hurt Zhou Shuo's hair. The so-called introduction of more advanced management and more funds is to put it bluntly, hoping that Liu Kan can help him gain control of Huajing.
Liu Kan looked up at the sky, closed his eyes in despair, and said nothing.
After five years, how many five years can Liu Kan have in his life? Moreover, this is the most precious five years in his life. He also knows that the 908 Project has gradually entered a dead end. However, how can the individual's strength compete with the country? Others can't even handle the responsibility of themselves. Let alone affect the entire 908 Project.
Zhou Shuo shook his head in disappointment. He originally thought that this was an excellent opportunity to intervene in the 908 project, but the prerequisite was that at least he had to get the support of Liu Kan. No one was in the back and forth, even if he had a sea of gold and silver in his hand, he could not find a place to raise such a large national project.
"It's up to people. Did Mr. Liu give up his hard work for five years so simply?" Zhou Shuo patted his shoulder and said seriously: "After all, I'm going to cause trouble for you now. Isn't it the idea of swallowing an elephant with a snake? Why can't Hong Kong people do it? At least Huajing is in my hands, so I can keep it at the forefront of domestic wafer factories. Instead of becoming a tool to squeeze out the surplus value of the country's investment."
Liu Kan opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time. He was a college student in the early 1980s. He worked in the 1980s and 1990s. All his previous life trajectories were spent in state-owned enterprises. It was really challenging his life value to unite with Zhou Shuo and help Fanhan Group achieve the 908 Project.
"Please give me some time, I need to calm down." Liu Kan shook his head and said lonely.
Zhou Shuo nodded with his lips.
As the sun sets, the sun in late summer emits its afterglow in the horizon. The weather gradually becomes a little cooler. Zhou Shuo occupied a conference room in the fab office building, which was quickly transformed into the office of the chairman of the Panhan Group.
He has been in the past six months, but his work has been accumulated a lot. Although the group has formed a set of rules and regulations, and the Internet and trans-ocean telephones can be controlled remotely, the work exclusively for the chairman is still accumulated a lot. After he came back, he paid attention to the most important self-produced single crystal furnace, he immediately fell into an endless stream of literary meetings.
When he raised his head again, the sky was already full of red color. Zhou Shuo put down his pen, rubbed his wrists, and moved his neck. However, the office building that had already fallen into silence after get off work suddenly heard a faint cry.
The shouts became louder and louder, and the scope became wider and wider. It seemed to be the most intense infectious disease, and in an instant the entire office building seemed to be in a state of madness.
With a "bang", the door of the conference room was pushed open from outside. Liu Gang and Yao Dao rushed in with excitement and shouted loudly: "It's successful! Zhou'er, we succeed!"
Zhou Shuo was caught off guard by this sudden situation. He didn't react for a moment, and he was stunned and asked a foolish sentence: "What did it succeed?"
Liu Gang held his hand, jumped and shouted, "Single crystal furnace, our own single crystal furnace has been successful! The first batch of single crystal silicon ingots have been tested and have fully reached the purity of electronic-grade single crystal silicon!"
Just looking at his appearance, it seems that not to run a thousand meters immediately would be enough to vent his passion that he had nowhere to release.
"Slow, slow down, don't worry." Zhou Shuo pressed his shoulders with both hands and asked seriously: "What is the yield rate of the first batch?"
"60%." Liu Gang was not disappointed with this number at all, but was a little complacent.
It is true that although it is only 60% yield, this is the first trial production of a self-produced single crystal furnace. It uses the quartz crucible produced by Fanhan Quartz Products Factory, and all the instruments and equipment are domestic or partially imported. Without more than ten years of data accumulation of Toshiba Ceramics and without professional talents with rich experience, all relying on the old foundation of Huaguang Factory, it is really good to have such results.
There are many more work to do next, including thermal field analysis, process optimization, quality management, etc. When these problems are solved one by one, the yield rate of single crystal silicon ingots will be truly stable.
Zhou Shuo's smile on his face was like ink dripping into the water, which instantly melted. He breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, he finally took the first step of his journey. Although electronic-grade monocrystalline silicon ingots are only the most basic raw material in the semiconductor industry, they are also the key to determining product quality. Based on this, he actually found the fulcrum for moving China's semiconductor industry.
"Let's go, take a look." Although Zhou Shuo did not show as excited as Liu Gang and Yao Dao, he did not hide the smile on his face. He patted the two of them on the shoulders and took the lead in walking out.
The three of them took the elevator to the first floor and were passing by the lobby in front of the office building. Suddenly, two beams of car lights shot in from outside, and they couldn't help but get nervously alert.
You should know that it is now off work hours, and fuel-powered cars are not allowed inside the fab. It is obvious that a car is driving outside, and it is better to be at this time, so how can it not make people feel strange?
Although Fanhan Group is not invisible internationally and even domestically, it does not mean that no one is paying attention. The business intelligence departments of large enterprises are often responsible for this kind of work that strangles competition to the budding state.
The car hit a horizontal line in front of the building, and a man jumped out of the car in the driver's seat, rolled and crawled towards the gate. Behind him, you could vaguely see the electric car used for the wafer fab for transportation in the factory, and was chasing him quickly.
The man was carrying a light on his back, and Zhou Shuo couldn't see the identity of the visitor clearly for a moment. He heard outside the door knocking on the anti-collision glass door and shouting loudly in Japanese.
"Zhou Sang, I am Nobusuke Sato! Nobusuke Sato of Toshiba Ceramics!"
Sato Nobusuke and Zhou Shuo were slightly stunned, and the memories in his heart gradually emerged. Compared with the person in front of him, it seemed that he was the head of Sato Nobusuke, who was responsible for signing a contract with him.
But the sale of single crystal furnaces to China has been carried down by Oura Ono, why did he appear here again?
The factory security guard drove an electric car overtaken from behind his car, blocking the lights of the car. Zhou Shuo looked carefully and found that it was indeed Nobusuke Sato from Toshiba Ceramics.
"Zhou Sang, please let me in, I have something to say!" Sato Nobusuke turned around and saw that the security guard was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but shout anxiously.
Zhou Shuo was curious and took two steps forward, but was grabbed by Liu Gang from behind.
He said nervously: "Zhou'er, be careful. What good things can the Japanese do at this time? It's better not to see you."
Seeing that the security guard outside the door had already controlled Nobusuke Sato, Zhou Shuo smiled and shook his head and said, "I know Sato. He is just an office worker. Do you expect him to punish me for work?"
Although Zhou Shuo insisted on his opinion, Liu Gang did not relax his vigilance at all. He opened the door with his identity card, but quickly blocked Zhou Shuo's front with his body.
"Zhou Sang, it's me, Sato Nobusuke!" Sato Nobusuke pointed at himself with a flattering and joyful look when he saw Zhou Shuo coming out.
"San Sato, it's been a long time since I saw you." Zhou Shuo shouted from a distance, not close to him at all.
Just kidding, the son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. Even if you believe that Nobusuke Sato is just a fucking office worker, Zhou Shuo is not interested in experimenting with his understanding of human nature.
When the security guard saw that his chairman actually greeted the Japanese in Japanese, he relaxed his guard. Sato Nobusuke seized this flaw and saw the opportunity and ran out of the encirclement!
He knocked away a security guard, and the wolf ran forward a few steps, and actually jumped high!
Chapter completed!
