Chapter 1174: Fang Chen, who was forced by reality, had to do this
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was good.
Once the forces above are involved, it will be much easier to say.
To put it mildly, once the state intervenes, no matter how harsh the conditions are, they can be met.
Anyway, he planned to talk to Dean Zhu after talking to Zhang Rujing.
After all, this is related to the development of Huaxia's chip industry, and it is not his business alone, so why can the country lie down and win?
It doesn't make sense.
As for whether Dean Zhu would be willing or not, whether he would beat him or not, it was no longer within his consideration.
Even if he was a scoundrel in front of Dean Zhu, he had to let Dean Zhu support him, anyway, he was young, and there was no psychological burden at all when he did this kind of skinless and faceless thing.
And this is also something that can't be helped, he calculated in his heart just now, it seems that the cowhide is a little too big, don't look at the tens of thousands of people in the sky now, but if you want to rely on your own strength, it is really unlikely that you can do this.
After all, Qingtian can only guarantee that the people sent over are smart enough, but whether they can come back, whether they can endure loneliness, it's hard to say.
However, the above can transfer personnel from all over the country to accomplish this, and the difference in strength between the two is very different.
Moreover, although the domestic chip industry lags behind the developed countries of the West for about ten years, after all, there are still more than 600 semiconductor companies and tens of thousands of technical personnel, who may not play a role in the current enterprises, but in his place, they are all treasures.
If from this point of view, he can be regarded as a talent reuse, and Dean Zhu should be grateful to him.
At this moment, Zhang Rujing suddenly rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Fang, let me ask you, do you really plan to invest hundreds of billions in the chip factory?"
After hearing this, and then looking at Zhang Rujing's cautious, wanting to ask for a certificate, and for fear of stimulating his appearance, Fang Chen suddenly fell for it, rolled his eyes several times, and then said helplessly: "Mr. Zhang, you still don't believe me, but you are really right, I don't plan to invest hundreds of billions in chip factories." ”
Hearing this, although Zhang Rujing knew that it was impossible to invest 100 billion yuan, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.
But soon, he himself became excited, the investment of 100 billion is indeed too much, and even he himself thinks that if he starts a chip factory in the future, he will take out his savings over the years, and then pull a fund of one or two billion, and then he can start doing it, and 100 billion is too exaggerated.
Moreover, although the time he actually had contact with Fang Chen was very short, he felt that even if Fang Chen couldn't come up with 100 billion, he could still take out about 2 billion, which had already met his most basic needs, which was enough.
On the contrary, it was his question just now, which was a bit Meng Lang, after all, bragging and drawing a pie are already essential skills for an entrepreneur.
If you can't even brag and paint a big pie, how can you let people follow you to do a career, as for the kind of entrepreneurial environment where everything is ready and only owes the east wind, there is really not much.
However, just when Zhang Rujing was thinking about himself, Fang Chen suddenly smiled and said, "However, I plan to invest 100 billion yuan in a chip company." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Rujing was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he realized what Fang Chen meant.
"Do you really want to be a chip company?" asked Zhang Rujing in disbelief.
Co-authored, in fact, he and Fang Chen have always been talking about chickens and ducks, it seems to be talking about the same thing, but in fact it is not a thing.
Chip companies and chip factories seem to be not very different, it seems that the suffix behind them is different, but in fact, they are very different.
Like Intel, AMD, and Texas Instruments, these are chip companies, and the most important work is chip design, and then it also includes wafer production, packaging production, cost testing and other processes.
Of course, now due to the emergence of a large number of chip foundries, these companies have gradually handed over the chip production part to the foundry to produce, but this was indeed the case in the past.
The chip factory is a chip factory, which only involves chip production, but does not involve chip design and packaging production, and cost testing.
Obviously, the difficulty of establishing a chip company is much higher than the difficulty of establishing a chip factory, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten times worse.
The reason why Intel, AMD, and Texas Instruments can stand tall in this world, and even dare to give up wafer manufacturing, is not because they know that as long as they control the chip design, they are already invincible, and the chip factory cannot compete with it, let alone give birth to a chip company.
To be honest, he didn't even dare to think about chip companies or anything.
He wanted to say something, but looking at Fang Chen, who was smiling and confident, the words involuntarily swallowed back, he didn't think about chip companies, and he knew that he couldn't be a chip company, but it didn't mean that Fang Chen couldn't think so, and Fang Chen couldn't do it.
After all, Fang Chen had already created countless miracles.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of joy appeared on his face, listening to Fang Chen's words, Fang Chen is really ready to invest 100 billion in chips, and 100 billion, it seems that it is really possible to get involved in chip design, a field that even he can't reach.
A hint of longing suddenly appeared on Zhang Rujing's face, and he was now thinking about what kind of beautiful situation it would be for Huaxia to have the ability to design and manufacture chips in all fields.
Looking at Zhang Rujing's appearance, Fang Chen couldn't help but rub his head, Zhang Rujing was really a little happy, what was thinking in his heart, almost all of his face showed it, no wonder he was put on so many ways by TSMC in his previous life, he almost lost his armor and lost his armor, and he had to withdraw from SMIC.
Actually, seriously, he also wants to eat something simple, do something chip making, packaging and testing, and even chip design, only do one, not all of them.
Even if you can, Huaxia is not stuck by chips, and can buy them at the right price at any time, all the chips he wants to buy, he doesn't even want to be involved in the chip field, and honestly make his equipment products, isn't it good?
He is now making Xiaobawang game consoles, learning machines, repeaters, DVD players, pagers, and large program-controlled switches, isn't it fragrant?
Why do you have to be a chip company?
Does he want to do all the world, all the businesses that make money?
Of course not, although he Fang Chen is pretentious, he has not yet been arrogant to the point where he can complete all the business in the world by himself.
It's just reality that forced him to do it.
Whether it is a Xiaobawang game machine, a learning machine, a repeater, a DVD player, a pager, a large program-controlled switch, these electronic products, among them, there is an indispensable key component, or core, that is, the chip.
The chip is the brain, the center of these electronic products.
It also means that if he can't produce the chips needed for these electronic products by himself, then he will be stuck by those developed countries in the West, saying that he will be sanctioned and sanctioned every minute.
And this kind of production is not simply able to be manufactured, but the technical strength of the whole chip industry and all projects.
In addition to wafer manufacturing, he is also ready to master chip design, packaging manufacturing, cost testing, and even the production and purification of monocrystalline silicon.
It sounds like something so big and almost impossible to do.
No, even Intel, Texas Instruments, and AMD have a tendency to hand over the chips they design to chip foundries for production?
As for package manufacturing and cost testing, it has long been outsourced.
In the future, it can be said that almost all the links required by these chip companies have been handed over to the foundry in addition to retaining their design capabilities.
More and more industries, industrial segmentation, seems to be the general trend of the future, but he Fangchen has to take such a big package, even Intel has never been involved in the production of monocrystalline silicon, purification has to be mixed with a foot.
It sounds so stupid.
But in fact, the example of Huawei's Kirin chip tells him that even if he already has chip design capabilities like Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm, he may still be stuck by the United States at any time.
In the previous life, Huawei, after more than ten years of hard work, it was not easy for Kirin chips to thrive and squeeze into the ranks of world-class chip design companies, almost equal to Qualcomm chips, but it was banned by the United States.
And you must know that it does not mean that as soon as the United States lifts the ban, Huawei's Kirin chips will be able to revive and instantly ascend to the throne of the world's first-class chip companies.
After all, you must know that chips are a big investment industry, which can be seen from Intel Qualcomm's annual research funding of tens of billions of dollars.
The Kirin chip cannot be produced and sold, which means that the cost of this part of the chip design can only be borne by Huawei itself.
But seriously, anyone who bears such a large amount of money can't afford it, and it may even pull Huawei into the abyss.
After all, Huawei's annual profit is less than $10 billion, only less than $60 billion, or $9 billion.
And once the Kirin chip is lost, the sales of Huawei mobile phones will inevitably be greatly reduced, which is even worse.
Therefore, with a high probability, although Huawei will not completely give up the Kirin chip, it will definitely give up part of the chip design investment and maintain a certain chip design capability at the minimum cost, waiting for a comeback.
There is no way, who made Huawei unable to make chips, and there are no companies in Huaxia that can produce such advanced chips, including SMIC, which is already ranked fourth in the world.
Therefore, the size of Huaxia, as well as the crisis and pressure faced by Huaxia, are doomed, Huaxia must take the road of breaking through the whole industry, even if any link wants to be lazy and fake to others, it will be stuck in the neck anytime and anywhere, and many years of hard work will be reduced to nothing.
And the only thing he can believe in is Huaxia's own business.
But now that he doesn't, he can only struggle alone, and work alone.
Zhang Rujing looked at Fang Chen with amazement, to be honest, he now felt that he was not facing a person, but an unfathomable, and turbulent sea.
He really didn't know what kind of ambition, majestic ambition, could make a person have such an earth-shattering idea.
At this time close to the 21st century, let China, a place that is almost a chip desert, bloom into a world-class chip company.
And no, the chip factory he imagined before, wafer manufacturing.
To be honest, his intuition told him that this was an impossible thing, and the outcome they faced in the end could only be failure!
But somehow, he couldn't help but want to devote himself to Fang Chen's side, devote himself to this great cause, and work hard for this great cause, even if he was broken, he would not regret it!
"So, 100 billion is really not much, and even to put it bluntly, this 100 billion is for you to burn, I hope you can burn this 100 billion before you burn this 100 billion, so that our own chips do not say that they have a certain competitiveness, at least they can be used. Fang Chen said helplessly.
The chip industry is really a headache industry, and the headache is so bad that even Huaxia's big killer in scientific research is ineffective.
Huaxia has a unique industry-university-research model, which is called concentrating on doing great things, that is, through the movement of concentrated research, to break through a certain technology.
This method is effective in the field of military industry without considering cost and yield, and the results of two bombs and one satellite, as well as some other important scientific research fields, were born in this way.
However, in terms of industrialization and civilianization, it is basically a dead end.
Today, Huaxia integrated circuit academic circles have led many achievements that have "reached the international level", and only have the function of "display and acceptance".
Once approved by the expert review meeting, it will be shelved and rusty and dusty, and rarely go to the market.
There is no other reason, the cost is too high, and it does not have the ability to compete in the market.
There is no way, to build an atomic bomb, you can do it regardless of the cost, but can you make chips?
And this principle can be applied to aero engines, and it can be applied to ballpoint pen nibs.
That is to say, civilian technology, not only to solve the problem of whether there is or not, whether it is good to use these two levels, but also to solve the cost can be lower than others, with market competitiveness, which in the case of Western countries have occupied the first-mover advantage, it is too difficult to do.
After all, one of the laws of this world is like this, there are cheap goods, there are good goods, but there are no cheap and good goods.
"You think about this too much, but I can be more confident, I didn't see Shougang invested 500 million yuan to make chips, and now it's not done, we have no reason, it's worse than them." Zhang Rujing said confidently.
