When he was talking, Zhou Shuo felt a black shadow falling from the sky like a tiger! Before he could react, Sato Nobusuke killed him in front of him!

With a sound of thump, the entire fab office building suddenly fell into a dead silence. No one expected that a person would just lie on the ground. The person who was still alive before suddenly became silent. This was too unexpected to Liu Gang and Yao Dao.

Only Zhou Shuo smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at his feet coldly.

Sato Nobusuke fell to his knees in a standard orz posture.

"Zhou Sang, please stop the test of Fanhan Group's self-produced single crystal furnace, please!" Sato Nobusuke said sincerely.

Zhou Shuo held his chest with his hands, looked at Sato Shinsuke under his feet playfully, and waved his hand to stop the security guard who wanted to move. He stared at Sato Shinsuke's obviously bald hair. It seemed that he had not been doing well in the past six months. If the degree of worry is comparable to the degree of hair loss, he would probably be the kind of restless sleep and eating.

"What's the reason? I invested 10 or 20 million US dollars in capital. You can't say whatever you say, right?"

"Hi!" Sato Nobusuke snatched the ground with his head and shouted excitedly: "If the monocrystalline silicon ingots of Fanhan Group flow into the market, Toshiba Ceramics will encounter a major crisis in the industry! If the technology from Toshiba Ceramics leaked out caused the market to be impacted, the result will definitely be subject to industry sanctions! In view of the happy cooperation between the two parties, I hope, no, I beg Zhou Sang not to continue the trial production."

Zhou Shuo sighed, and he had just received news of the successful trial production. Nobusuke Sato came over. Regardless of whether it was the news leaked by Oura Ono, he must have a good level of internal support within the wafer factory. Judging from the resources that Japanese companies can use, he is really unprepared for defense.

"That's the reason. Sato San, do you think I will agree?" Zhou Shuoxi shook his head with a smile, and sighed and said, "If production cannot be carried out, what's the point of investing so much capital?"

Sato Shinsuke's saliva sprayed three feet away and said excitedly: "Toshiba Ceramics can compensate you! We can purchase all one hundred single crystal furnaces."

"Acquisition?" Zhou Shuo was stunned. He really didn't expect Toshiba Ceramics to have such a big idea. He is a single crystal furnace manufacturer, who is here to acquire the production equipment of a single crystal silicon manufacturer...

"It's not impossible." Zhou Shuo touched his chin, and felt a little terrible in his heart, and said provocatively: "It depends on what price Toshiba Ceramics can offer."

Sato Nobusuke was overjoyed when he heard this and consciously grasped Zhou Shuo's ideas. If he hadn't been confident in improving the yield rate of monocrystalline silicon ingots, how could he feel so easily relieved? He immediately took a deep breath, relieved and smiled: "Each unit is 120,000 US dollars. We will acquire as much as the Fanhan Group has!"

"120,000 US dollars?" Zhou Shuo was really tempted. US$120,000 is more than 1 million yuan. It is twice as much as the cost of his own production, and a full 100% profit! But with the same quality, Toshiba Ceramics can be sold at least 300,000 US dollars, but it may not be a loss. After all, if all of them are assembled with Japanese goods and Japanese manual, the cost of a single unit will be around 100,000 US dollars.

If Toshiba Ceramics succeeds, it will not only resolve its own industry reputation crisis, but also be equivalent to a free assembly factory. The Japanese's abacus will be indecent.

However, although the single crystal furnace assembly business is easy to make, it may not be able to continue safely.

Zhou Shuo knows history. I believe that with Toshiba's intelligence system, it is not difficult to predict the timetable for domestic technological breakthroughs. At most, by next year, China will be able to form the ability to produce 200mm single crystal furnaces. At that time, I want to rely on Toshiba Ceramics to do such a business with a profit of 100%. It is unrealistic to think about it.

In other words, Toshiba Ceramics actually only acquires the annual production of Fanhan Group, and the crisis will be safely overcome. If a unit costs $120,000, the annual production of $1 or $20 million is enough.

With Toshiba's strength, it is not difficult to get the money out, let alone the business is not a loss-making deal. Maybe you can make another profit after a change of hand.

Zhou Shuo couldn't help but feel deeply impressed by the person who thought of this solution.

"I think, instead of buying all my single crystal furnaces, it is better to buy all my single crystal silicon ingots." Zhou Shuo touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

If you sell a single crystal furnace, the annual profit will be about 10 million. If 100 single crystal furnaces are activated, the monthly turnover will be US$15 million according to the international price, and the profit will be about 5 million. In just one year, the Fanhan Fab can generate a profit of US$60 million.

So, it is like the locomotives who build a locomotive will never make money from operating a train. And the single crystal furnace will never make money from the wafer factory.

"One hundred single crystal furnaces?" Nobusuke Sato calculated how big the business it was.

A single crystal silicon ingot weighs 120 kilograms, and each single crystal furnace produces 25 furnaces per month is a relatively conservative figure. The monthly output of Fanhan Fab is 300 tons. If calculated based on international prices...

Zhou Shuo didn't wait for him to calculate the results, shook his head and continued: "It's not a hundred single crystal furnaces. By this time next year, Fanhan Fab will more than double the expansion, and at least 10 single crystal furnaces will continue to be added every month."

I'm sorry, I'm still accumulating one? Sato Nobusuke, who was not good at math, calculated a little bit and was completely confused. He shook his head and gave up his efforts to continue calculating.

"If Toshiba Ceramics can continue to provide wire cutting equipment, I can consider the barter trading method." Zhou Shuo added.

"Inner circle cutting machine?" Sato Nobusuke asked tentatively.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Shuo laughed out loud. The principle of the inner circle cutting machine is like a machine for cutting mutton slices. It uses blades to cut silicon wafers off the single crystal silicon ingot. This is a relatively basic wafer cutting equipment, and a technological breakthrough has been achieved in China for a long time.

"It's a multi-wire cutting machine." Zhou Shuo said affirmatively.

The first step to turning a single crystal silicon ingot into a wafer is to cut a thin wafer from the cylindrical silicon ingot. Then, based on this wafer, the integrated circuit can be formed through etching and ion implantation.

Cutting the wafer from the single crystal silicon ingot is of course not a simple task. Single crystal silicon ingots below 200mm can be cut through an inner circle cutting machine. However, once the diameter of the single crystal silicon ingot reaches 300mm, a multi-wire cutting machine must be used.

As the name suggests, a multi-wire cutting machine does not cut the wafer through the blade. Instead, it "saw" the wafer from the single crystal silicon ingot like a wire saw.

Compared with inner circle cutting, multi-wire cutting has the advantages of bending, small warping, good parallelism, small tolerance and roughness. In short, it can completely replace the technology of upgrading inner circle cutting machines.

If Toshiba Ceramics wants to cover up the leakage of one technology, it depends on whether Toshiba Ceramics is willing to use another technology to make up for it. If Toshiba Ceramics cannot reduce part of the acquisition cost with multi-wire cutting machines, the amount of nearly 200 million US dollars that year would be very funny.

Even if Toshiba finally finds the next company and eats this batch of monocrystalline silicon ingots, it will take up such a large amount of funds to drink a pot.

"I need to contact the headquarters to confirm, this is beyond my authorization scope." Sato Nobusuke swallowed and said nervously.

"Go." Zhou Shuo nodded and said with a smile: "I'll wait for your news."

Sato Nobusuke got up from the ground, bowed deeply to Zhou Shuo, then turned around and jumped into the car and left.

The conversation between the two was in Japanese. When Sato Nobusuke left, Zhou Shuo retelled the content of the conversation to Liu Gang and Yao Dao.

Liu Gang asked inexplicably: "Why did you agree to sell our products to them? Let the Japanese grasp our shipping channels, isn't it safe?"

Zhou Shuo shook his head helplessly and said, "I have no choice. There is only Japanese who can eat our production capacity now."

He waved his finger and explained to Liu Gang: "At present, there are only two countries and one region where the global semiconductor industry can digest 200mm single crystal silicon ingots. They are the United States, Japan and Wanwan. Most of the American wafer factories invest in the production of single crystal silicon ingots themselves, or they will participate in upstream companies. In order to ensure stable supply, these companies will not easily change suppliers."

Zhou Shuo broke off his second finger and continued: "Although the Japanese wafer fabs are quite chaotic, the four major consortiums are fighting on the surface. But in essence, the Japanese market is very closed. It is difficult for foreign companies to gain a foothold in the Japanese semiconductor industry, let alone mainland companies that have been strictly sealed down."

"As for Wanwan, let alone, the situation there is too sensitive and there are too many political factors, which is not a place we can go." He sighed: "So if we cannot approve a layer of Japanese skin on our monocrystalline silicon, it will be priceless. People don't have to worry about selling it if they have priceless, but no one will buy it!"

Click.

As soon as Zhou Shuo finished speaking, a sound of opening the door came from the corridor next to him. Liu Kan lowered his head and walked out quietly from behind the door.

"Mr. Liu, why are you here?" Zhou Shuo looked at him in surprise.

Liu Kan slowly raised his head and said firmly: "I have decided to help you gain control of the 908 Project. Principal Zhou, can you promise me that you will lead Huajing to achieve industrial upgrading?"

"Huajing's current design has lagged behind the international mainstream level." Zhou Shuo said naturally: "Even if you don't say it, I want Huajing to achieve industrial upgrading. But, Mr. Liu, why did you suddenly figure it out?"
