Chapter 654 Laboratory Skeleton
Zhang Ke did not mingle with Tao Jin, Li Yuanhu, Ge Jiande, Yi Yunfei, Luo Jun, Xiao Mingjian and other middle-aged and elderly teams to pick up Guo Songyan, Liu Zhicheng, Sun Shangyi and his group. He calculated the time and planned to ride a bicycle to the Oak Garden to welcome Tan Yunsong and his wife.
The four engineers he hired from Singapore, Malaysia and other places with Tan Yunsong to Jianye with him as the Basic Microelectronics Technology Laboratory. They are all elites who have achieved success in the field of microelectronics technology research and development, and are also Chinese scientists and engineers to be recruited by the Oak Park's "Hundred People Action" plan.
Since Tan Yunsong was appointed as the chief scientist of the Basic Microelectronics Technology Laboratory, he had to entrust the power to form a scientific research team. As long as he was a candidate recognized by Tan Yunsong, he only had to take the form of recruitment in Kumho and Oak Garden. Of course, Tan Yunsong also fully solicited opinions from Kumho, especially Chen Xinsheng and Ding Huai, who had a deep understanding of the field of microelectronics technology research and development in Asia.
These people are the backbone of the future Kumho technology research and development system. They need to support the bones of the Oak Garden plan, so Zhang Ke will not be stingy and never show off his side.
Time was a little more urgent, and Tan Yunsong had given less than twenty days. However, Tan Yunsong played a huge role in his extensive and deep connections in the field. These four people were still the first candidates, and there were seven or eight people who had to wait until the work entrusted by the previous employer was completed before they could come to Jianye to work one after another.
With Tan Yunsong and more than a dozen senior R&D personnel recruited from Southeast Asia, Kumho has also trained a group of technical backbones in recent years, and has allocated a group of people to serve as assistants for these senior R&D personnel. They can also be trained in depth, and then piloted a dual-tutor graduate training mechanism with universities such as Dongda University. Each senior R&D personnel is equipped with two assistants, and then two to four graduate students, which can almost support the framework of the microelectronics basic technology laboratory.
With two to three years, the laboratory's technical team can mature initially.
The second entrepreneurial park-style main reconstruction project of Oak Garden has come to an end; in order to distinguish the second entrepreneurial park that is renovated to the end of the east, internal personnel usually call it Lifeng Garden, and the entrepreneurial park in the east is called Yanshui Garden. When they ride a bicycle to Lifeng Garden, they catch up with Zhao Peng. Zhao Zilin led Tan Yunsong and his wife and a few people who look like they look like overseas Chinese engineers at first sight.
"Where is this going?" Zhang Ke asked Zhao Peng and the others with his feet. Before Zhang Ke came, he did not say hello to them, and he came by with time.
"Teacher Tan said he wanted to go to Yanshuiyuan first..." Zhao Peng ran over and took the bicycle that Zhang Ke had stepped off. He couldn't let Zhang Ke push the bicycle to Yanshuiyuan with them.
The laboratories are all newly built buildings, and it is already quite good to complete the main project before October. It will take some time before the actual construction and infrastructure installation is completed. Although the approval of venture capital projects has been increased in October, there are only eight projects that have passed the approval in October, and it will take quite a while before filling Lifeng Park. After the Yanshui Garden is completed, the Oak Park preparation office will be moved over, and the scientists and engineers recruited by Tan Yunsong will first place the work location on Yanshui Garden. After the basic laboratory is completed, the place will be moved out for subsequent entrepreneurial enterprises to settle in.
Tan Yunsong introduced him to Zhang Ke. He followed him to Jianye to participate in the Oak Garden project and said with a smile: "When I go back to Singapore, it is difficult for me to describe Ke's youthful and promising youth to them. Fortunately, Jinhu made this jaw-dropping action again, and I don't need to explain anything. I have a chance to meet Liu Zhicheng several times, but I didn't expect that they would all bring you to Jianye... Why didn't I see you at the airport?"
"What am I going to join in the fun?" Zhang Ke smiled and said, "It should have been Ding Huai who came to receive you today, but he rushed to RB for me. But Su Jindong could come here before dinner. Don't you go and have a rest for the place to arrange for your stay?"
Ding Huai is the general manager of the entire technical research and development system of Jinhu.
"I have been sitting on the plane for five hours and have to move my legs and feet. I will go to Yanshuiyuan to take a look and learn about the working environment first." Tan Yunsong said.
Zhang Ke did not mind that others were too dedicated, so he accompanied Tan Yunsong and others to visit Yanshuiyuan, and explained some details of the wafer fab project to Tan Yunsong on the way.
Liu Zhicheng left TSMC and went to Jianye to be responsible for building a wafer factory. It is the most sensational news in the industry recently. Under the current situation, it has a certain impact on several Asian wafer manufacturing companies. After all, there is another potential competitor, and some things do not need to be secretly secreted to everyone.
"We plan to introduce a 0.35 micron wafer manufacturing process, but in addition to the fact that this 0.35 micron-level integrated circuit design has been built in the past two years, and it is almost a blank in China. I am looking forward to the laboratory leading the relevant work and in two or three years, a group of high-level IC engineers can be trained..." Zhang Ke told Tan Yun while walking.
"I think Kumho's development in the next two or three years may feed this wafer fab..." Tan Yunsong said.
Tan Yunsong expects that when Jianye’s wafer factory is completed, the mainstream international wafer factories will almost have to replace them with 0.18 microns or even higher levels of technology. Jianye’s wafer factories can meet the chip needs of low-end consumer electronics products in Kumho. The chips required for high-end products will still be commissioned by companies like Deyi in recent years. It is undeniable that mid- and low-end consumer electronics products have huge market potential in emerging markets. This is exactly the main focus of Kumho in the next two or three years. Even if the two mobile phones launched by Kumho, the low-end i08 mobile phones will still be the low-end i08 mobile phones.
Of course, Zhang Ke has not discussed with Tan Yunsong the possibility of supplying components to OEM mobile phone manufacturers. These mobile phone components will also have a huge demand for low-end integrated circuit chips.
It seems that the 0.35 micron technology was not considered a low-end technology in 1997.
The chip design of the 0.35 micron level is almost blank in China. If there is no chip design company of this level in the domestic market, after the wafer fab is built, it will have to go to the international market to win customers, and the competition will undoubtedly be cruel.
Liu Zhicheng finally made up his mind to come and take charge of the fab project. From the few small gifts Sun Shangyi brought him when he arrived in Taiwan, he saw Kumho's true technical strength and future market potential. Indeed, it was just an eight-inch line. Kumho may feed the fab in the next two or three years. When he came to Jianye to build a fab project, the pressure would undoubtedly be much less.
Only after the fab project is completed will Kumho's vertical production system take shape, and then it will take a lot of effort to make this system full.
Unlike the perfect technology market in Europe and the United States, the domestic electronic technology level is too behind. If Kumho only focuses on terminal products, almost all the meta-accessories needed for first-class products have to be purchased from the international market. The tariff barriers and technical barriers between countries, besides desperately squeezing workers' labor and reducing human resources costs, Kumho has almost no advantage compared to those overseas electronic industries.
This is also a key factor in the fact that Kumho must work hard to build a complete vertical production system.
Zhang Ke also believes that as time goes by, people will gradually realize that this vertical production system will shine more and more dazzlingly in emerging markets.
Su Jindong took a bus to Jianye at 5 o'clock in the afternoon to meet Tan Yunsong and others. Tomorrow, Ge Jiande, deputy director of the Planning Commission, and his group were going to visit the Oak Garden. A heavyweight figure came to receive him, and only Su Jindong was left at home. Zhou You was not from the Ida Group system, so he was a bit inappropriate when he came forward.
The Youth Apartment was hurrying to decorate the four front buildings, but it would take less than a day or two to wait until the renovation was over. Zhang Ke asked someone to book a building of the Donghua Hotel on the west bank of Yangui Lake, and arranged for Liu Zhicheng and his entourage to check in. The wafer factory preparation office was also placed in Yanshui Garden. In short, Liu Zhicheng and others would receive warm hospitality from the Planning Commission, the province, the city and other government departments at this time; they also arranged for Tan Yunsong and others to temporarily stay in Donghua Hotel, and first invited Tan Yunsong and others to go to Donghua Hotel for a rest, and dinner was arranged at Donghua Hotel.
On the way to Donghua Hotel, Su Jindong talked to Zhang Ke about the consideration of Kewang Hi-Tech's supply of mobile phone accessories, and said: "We cannot expand production too much at once, as this will have a greater impact on the entire management system of Jinhu. On the other hand, once we enter the mobile phone accessories supply market, it will have a considerable impact on foreign mobile phone assembly manufacturers. In the past two years, the tariff barriers of mobile phone accessories will provide us with a layer of protection, and the low human resources cost is also our advantage, but
Once overseas mobile phone assembly accessories manufacturers enter the domestic market to build a large number of factories, they will quickly resolve these two advantages. If we cannot make up for the technical disadvantages during this period, we will fall into a disadvantage in the later competition. We must make the process as long as possible and win more time. After all, it will take some time for the Oak Garden plan to play a role... I think the price of China supply to Kewang Hi-Tech should be maintained at a relatively high level, and gradually enter the mobile phone assembly accessories supply market in a planned manner."
