Chapter 542: Boss, You're Crazy
Li Tianyu pondered for a while and decided to brag about it.
Isn't it chip manufacturing?
The foldable flexible screen has been done, and this can still be done.
Li Tianyu also deliberately inquired about some information, so as not to brag badly, after all, chip production is too professional, even better than LCD panel manufacturing.
In fact, chip production, professionally speaking, is wafer production.
The chip production line is the wafer production line.
A wafer is a silicon wafer used to make a silicon semiconductor integrated circuit, and its original material is silicon.
Of course, now some domestic units are vigorously researching carbon-based chips, and it seems that there are also prospects for mass production, but that is another set of technical systems.
Today's chips are developed on the basis of silicon wafers, so the production line must also use such technical standards.
Anyway, let's solve the problem of lithography machine first, as many media say, without lithography machine, chip manufacturing or something, everything is in vain.
Li Tianyu pretended to blow a cow about the lithography machine, and then started operating the system according to the old way.
Open the system interface and enter the order center.
The interface displays: The list is being refreshed......
To be honest, Li Tianyu was really a little nervous, and he didn't know if the system could brush out the lithography machine.
Now lithography machines are not easy to buy, and according to normal channels, ASML lithography machines in the Netherlands cannot enter the country.
Of course, ASML is not the only one in the world that can produce lithography machines, but the technology is slightly backward.
But if Li Tianyu wants to buy, he must buy the best, there is no doubt about it.
After a few moments, the list finally refreshed.
Li Tianyu took a look, good guy, there are really a lot.

There are five messages on one page, all of which are full.
That's right, all lithography machines.
There are many types of lithography machines, and only the types of silicon wafer chip manufacturing are shown here.
This is also a special request made by Li Tianyu to Li Tianyu.
Li Tianyu carefully browsed the list of orders in the system, and according to convention, they were arranged from low-end to high-end from top to bottom.
As rumored to be, the manufacturers of lithography machines are Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands.
There should be other countries, such as the United States, but they don't show up.
Either it needs to be refreshed, or it may be that the share of lithography machines in those countries is too low, so it's not worth mentioning.
The relatively low-end produced in Germany in front of it, there is actually a manual type, and the required tax is of course quite low, only more than 200,000 soft sister coins.
The later ones are relatively better, with semi-automatic and fully automatic ones, Nikon and Canon, respectively.
Both companies are giants in SLR cameras and optical equipment, and of course their attainments in lithography machines are not too low.
In fact, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, the lithography machines of these two companies in Japan and China occupied an absolute dominant position in the world.
But for some complicated reason, ASML in the Netherlands was propped up, and gradually left Canon and Nikon behind in the lithography machine business.
So now ASML's lithography machine should be the most advanced lithography machine in the world.
The latest ASML lithography machine can theoretically push the technological limit of 3 nanometers.
On the other hand, Canon and Nikon can basically only stay at 28 nanometers, without an inch.
Of course, ASML's lithography machines will not be in stock, and they are all produced by large enterprises after placing orders, and they cannot produce a few units a year.
Small businesses want to buy? That's really no way.
At present, domestic enterprises also have no access to ASML lithography machines in the Netherlands.
Li Tianyu couldn't help but smile when he saw ASML's lithography machine.
It seems that bragging about the tax system is indeed quite a bull's criticism, and impossible things are not a matter in front of the system.
The tax is indeed higher, reaching 720,000 soft sister coins.
However, for Li Tianyu, it is nothing at all.
But why didn't Li Tianyu choose it, because there is still the last item, which is the fifth item.
The physical manufacturing limit of this last lithography machine has reached 1 nanometer, which is higher than ASML's lithography machine!
You know, with the current level of chip manufacturing, every step is very difficult when it reaches below 7 nanometers.
1 nanometer, according to the current level of technology, I can't even think of it!
What kind of manufacturing company is so good? It actually produces a lithography machine that can make chips with 1 nanometer technology.
Li Tianyu looked at it and was stunned.
The mysterious X Group, what the hell is this company?
Li Tianyu remembers that he seemed to have seen this company in the system list before, and at that time he wanted to get an improvement plan for a foldable flexible screen.
In any case, the tax amount is more than 990,000 yuan, almost reaching one million soft sister coins.
Since there is a better option, ASML's lithography machine will stand aside.
It is also possible to successfully avoid a technological blockade from abroad, especially from the United States.
What else do you say, hurry up and pay the taxes, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
【Tax Payment Information】
988,000 yuan of soft sister coins ---- successfully deducted
【Item Information】
The lithography machine [the mysterious X Group of Companies] ---- succeeded
Li Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The most difficult lithography machine has finally been solved.
Although the mysterious X Group is a bit like a copycat company, Li Tianyu also paid a tax of one million soft sister coins, and presumably the system will not fool him with things of poor quality and poor quality.
Then, Li Tianyu began to arrange other equipment.
In addition to the lithography machine, the etching machine is also a very important equipment, and the price is also quite high, often hundreds of millions of US dollars.
However, comparatively speaking, etching machines are more selective.
Li Tianyu got all the big pieces in one go.
It's not much, but it took almost an hour.
I lost a lot of energy, and I couldn't move even when I spread it out on the sofa.
To be honest, Li Tianyu feels that using the system is also quite energy-consuming.
Li Tianyu opened a can of beer, took a few big sips, suppressed the shock, and finally recovered some.
At this time, Li Tianyu suddenly thought that when the machinery and equipment of the production line arrived, there would be no place to put it.
To be precise, a new building was needed to install the wafer chip production line.
This is not a trivial matter, Li Tianyu immediately called Lu Hui.
Lu Hui seemed to be busy and didn't answer the phone.
Li Tianyu didn't fight anymore, just watched TV there.
A moment later, Li Tianyu's mobile phone rang, and sure enough, it was Lu Hui who called back after seeing the missed call.
Lu Hui: "Boss, did you call me?"
Li Tianyu: "Yes, what are you kid doing?
Lu Hui: "Boss, I'm just doing business, and I'm in a meeting just now." ”
Li Tianyu said "oh": "By the way, I called me to ask you something." ”
Lu Hui: "What's the matter?" ”
Li Tianyu: "Is the new plant almost ready to be built now?"
Lu Hui: "Where is Guanglan?"
Li Tianyu: "It's okay over there." ”
Now Lu Hui is building a lot of buildings, and Jiaxin and Guanglan Electronics are building new plants.
This is also normal, after all, the order volume of both factories has skyrocketed recently, and the benefits are very good.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to expand the new plant and strengthen the production line to relieve the production pressure.
Lu Hui: "Two of the factories over there are about to be completed, and they are now being renovated internally. ”
Li Tianyu: "When will it be completed?"
Lu Hui was confused and didn't understand what Li Tianyu was going to do, but he still responded: "If it's fast, it can be completed next week." ”
Li Tianyu: "Reserve a factory, I plan to launch a new production line." ”
Lu Hui was stunned: "New production line, boss, what production line, or LCD panel production line?"
Li Tianyu: "Of course not, it's a silicon wafer chip production line. ”
Lu Hui didn't react for a while, and it took a few seconds before he let out a loud "ah".
Lu Hui: "Boss, are you—are you crazy!?"
Li Tianyu: "You're crazy! ”
Lu Hui suppressed his restless emotions at this time, calmed down, and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I'm too excited, isn't it, what you said is true or false?"
Li Tianyu: "Nonsense, of course it's true, this is talking about business, why am I telling you a lie?"
Lu Hui: "Chip production line?"
Li Tianyu: "Chip production line. ”
Lu Hui: "What, what specifications? Boss, I, I mean I want to ask, how many nanometer chips can be produced?"
Li Tianyu: "Comrade Xiao Lu, do you think I will build some obsolete production lines? Even if you don't say anything, I don't like to take up space." ”
Lu Hui: "Then what do you mean......"
Li Tianyu: "If you play to the limit, you can reach the 3nm process. ”
Lu Hui was silent for a long time, even longer than the one just now, as if he had fainted.
Li Tianyu: "Hey, Mr. Lu, are you still there?
Lu Hui: "No, no, boss, the production line you talked about...... When will it arrive?"
Li Tianyu: "It should be soon, anyway, you try to prepare the plant next week, and be ready to receive machinery and equipment at any time." ”
Lu Hui: "Okay, boss, don't worry, I will definitely let the construction team work overtime, and if it doesn't work, I will pay more overtime." ”
Now that the benefits of the two factories are good, Lu Hui's confidence is also full, after all, there is real money in the financial accounts, which is more effective than anything.
Li Tianyu: "Don't let too many people know about this matter, just reveal some rumors to some core personnel." ”
Lu Hui understood that this matter was indeed very important, and immediately agreed.
Building a wafer factory is a big event, and if you don't prepare well, the news will leak out, which may have a serious impact on future development.
Li Tianyu chatted with Lu Hui about some things again, then said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Everything was under control, and Li Tianyu finally put his heart down.
Next, wait for the machinery and equipment to be in place, install the silicon wafer chip production line, and then find a way to find a team of wafer chip experts, so that the operation can start smoothly.
By the way, Li Tianyu remembered the bet he made with Xia Lei.
When the time comes, you can talk to Xia Lei, invite him to the factory, and let him see if this is a top silicon wafer chip production line.
As for whether the chip technology R&D team mentioned by Xia Lei exists, Li Tianyu is not worried.
Xia Lei's door is still quite wide, and people of his status will never brag or talk under normal circumstances.
Because there are thousands of eyes staring at Xia Lei.
And Xia Lei is actually happy to see Li Tianyu build a silicon wafer chip factory.
Why?
Because Xia Lei is an investor, and he is a top investor in China, if there is a promising chip factory in front of him, can he not think of investing money?
So Xia Lei is provoking Li Tianyu to make a big move, if Li Tianyu really succeeds in building it, then the R&D personnel, R&D team or something, Xia Lei will definitely go all out to support it.
Li Tianyu pondered that Xia Lei would definitely talk to him about cooperation when the time came.
For example, exchanging technical talents for equity.
Will Li Tianyu accept such conditions?
Li Tianyu really has to think about it.
But not now, Li Tianyu feels a headache.
He hates going to work the most, but now he has to "go to work", which is really annoying.
Just as Li Tianyu was about to start drinking beer again, his mobile phone rang again.
Li Tianyu reluctantly picked up his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID.
it!
It was actually Ai Heping who called.
