Chapter 459: Persuasion

In the elegant box, the dinner is almost a "mess of cups and plates" at this point, and it is coming to an end.

The other five people involved in the drinking party all looked at Idaka. This contest with a good atmosphere gets to the most crucial part. If Jing Gao can't convince Zhang Rujing to set up a wafer factory with domestic machines as the core and a large difference in technology generation, there is no doubt that today's contact will be a failure.

This persuasion will be difficult.

Zhang Rujing's dream of building a factory is, of course, to catch up with the world's most advanced 7nm process technology step by step. Before that, 45nm, 28nm, 14nm and other processes can be considered. Go back to 90nm, who will?

Moreover, a very important reason why Zhang Rujing is recognized as a master of building wafer factories is that he has deep connections in the semiconductor industry and can buy various machines for manufacturing chips.

Don't think that the machines that make chips, such as lithography machines, can be bought casually. First of all, there is the existence of the Walsen agreement, and the first machines cannot be bought. Secondly, taking ASML as an example, his lithography machines have to be queued up to pick up goods, and the supply exceeds demand.

When Zhang Rujing founded SMIC, what was his commitment to those foreign manufacturers? First, SMIC will never make military products. Second, SMIC will not "tape-out" domestic research institutes.

Tape-out is an industry term. After the chip is designed, it needs to be manufactured in the chip production line of the wafer factory, which is called "tape-out". In short, "pilot production". Usually the cost of a single tape-out is very high.

That is to say, after the chip is designed, it is a mule or a horse, and it must be pulled out and tested with practice. If there is a problem, improve the design.

SMIC, with its advanced process technology, cannot help domestic research institutes do this. This has led to a very slow development of China's military-industrial, independent chip design. For example, the representative work of the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: Loongson!

Huawei HiSilicon is a private company and is not subject to this restriction. Huawei uses SMIC's chip production line to manufacture Kirin series chips.

Of course, the West wants to suppress the Chinese. In 2015, the country launched the Beidou satellite using "Loongson". There are always some people who like to kneel, and there are always some Chinese who choose to stand hard.

Zhang Rujing made such a demanding commitment to buy chips from foreign manufacturers and second-hand wafer production lines from Singapore, and expanded countercyclically, leading SMIC to become the world's fourth chip foundry.

That's his strength, his strength. Who would give up their strengths and strengths?

...

...

What kind of person is Jing Gao? His current EQ is not Wuxia Ameng, although Zhang Rujing's words are very tactful, but of course he can hear the meaning. Without thinking, he said, "Dr. Zhang, I don't mind losing money!"

The wrinkles on Zhang Rujing's forehead deepened, but he didn't speak. In his seventy years of life, it is not unheard of a boss who said not to make a profit and sell his feelings.

Jing Gao didn't seem to be aware of the hesitation, vigilance, and contempt in Zhang Rujing's heart, and drank red wine and said, "Dr. Zhang, I believe you should know something about the Phoenix Group. I am willing to invest the money I earn in other fields into the Jinling fab. I'm willing to lose $10 billion, or even $20 billion, for that. I'm going to lose this money!

My purpose is to contribute to the localization of chip manufacturing. Chip manufacturing, this is an extremely complex and huge project, I need Dr. Zhang's experience and ability to take the helm, organize, point out the direction of research and development, and help me achieve my dream.

Frankly speaking, with the scale of the current domestic chip market, even if Suzaku Integrated Circuit Company infringes TSMC's patents, it can only be a matter of facts, pay money and settle. Zhang Mouzhong absolutely did not dare to put forward excessive requirements such as equity and account supervision. He TSMC needs the mainland's chip market.

However, he will definitely ask Dr. Zhang to leave your post again!"

Ms. Wang Yan, Zhang Rujing's assistant, moved her lips, but she didn't speak after all. This is a big truth.

The reference case is an example of TSMC suing Samsung and forcing Liang Mengsong to resign. Samsung gets the 14nm process technology, and there is also American capital behind it. But Samsung did not and could not go to ensure that Liang Mengsong was on the job.

It can be said that Samsung throws people away when they run out, and it can also be said that it is difficult to find legal support for this kind of technical infringement case.

Jing Gao continued: "Dr. Zhang, if we want to end the era of TSMC, we only need to develop a chip manufacturing line ourselves.

All kinds of machines, parts, optics, and chemical reagents on this production line are not stuck by overseas manufacturers. You don't need to do 7nm, as long as you do 28nm, it's enough to ensure that you are in charge of this factory, and it's enough to make TSMC's era end. ”

Jing Gao's words were a bit vague, except for Nie Yunxi, who had participated in politics, the rest of the people reacted later.

TSMC's orders cannot all be 7nm high-end orders. Once a fab invades the mid-end, he will inevitably file a lawsuit again! Just like he did with SMIC.

This is something that threatens its interests, and TSMC is bound not to back down.

So, of course, a Taiwan-funded enterprise can win a lawsuit in the United States, but what about Huaxia? Initiating a lawsuit against Huaxia's science and technology independent enterprises will not kill you!

The loss of the mainland's chip market is the end of the TSMC era.

Zhang Rujing fell into deep thought.

Idaka slowly drank the red wine in his glass, waiting for his decision. In fact, Jing Gao still has "cruel words" that he didn't say: break the cycle of your life!

Every time Zhang Rujing made a name for himself in the semiconductor industry, TSMC pressed him back. How many ups and downs can a person have in his life? Isn't he depressed? Don't you want to bury TSMC's era?

However, this kind of thing hurts to say it! If Dr. Zhang Rujing was a young man, Jing Gao would definitely be inspired. He is already 70 years old, and no matter how stimulating he is, he is a bit unmartial arts.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Rujing said, "Mr. Jing, I need to think about it." ”

"No problem. Jing Gao pointed to Guan Yujia beside him and introduced: "Dr. Zhang, Mr. Guan is currently in charge of the wafer fab project in Jinling. If I could, I would like to invite Dr. Zhang to Jinling. He was fully accompanied by Mr. Guan. ”

It's a show of sincerity.

Nor did he expect to tie the old gentleman to his chariot at the first official contact today.

Zhang Rujing smiled and responded, "Okay." ”

The atmosphere in the box became extremely harmonious.

...

...

After a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. In the mid-spring night, Jing Gao and his entourage saw Zhang Rujing and Wang Yan leave in a car at the door of the hotel.

Liu Sumei stroked his glasses, and his big eyes smiled like a crescent moon. sent a WeChat message to Jing Gao: Brother Jing, I am starting to worship you now. This was the topic of conversation the following afternoon.

She really didn't expect Brother Jing to persuade Zhang Rujing from this perspective just now.

According to the situation just now, this matter is actually inseparable from ten.

Jing Gao glanced at WeChat, put his mobile phone in the pocket of his coat, smiled at Liu Sumei, and said, "Let's go!" Several people took the car and went to Tomson Golf Villa 11.
