Now that Huaxing Group has occupied the commanding heights in this field, the next thing is how to promote it on a large scale and reduce costs.

In the laboratory, Yang Jie also carefully held this two-inch diameter gallium nitride wafer and looked at it, with a happy look in his eyes.

In order to prepare for the gallium nitride wafer, Yang Jie has invested at least one billion US dollars in this in recent years, and now the cost price of such a small gallium nitride wafer is still very expensive, the cost price is close to 3,000 US dollars, which is at least ten times more expensive than a 12-inch silicon wafer.

However, such a small piece of gallium nitride wafer can basically produce 5,000 blue lasers with an average price of $100, and can also produce almost 10,000 high-brightness LeD lights with 10 times brightness, 3-4 times the luminous efficiency and 10 times the life of energy-saving lamps, which are also used in base station antennas and high-power modules.

GaN material has a very high photoelectric conversion capacity, because its theoretical photoelectric conversion efficiency can reach 76%, which is a revolution in the field of solar cells, now the best efficiency of solar cells is less than 20%, a square meter of solar panels can produce 140 watts of power, and the use of gallium nitride materials, can reach more than 700 watts, if the cost of gallium nitride materials can be close to the level of silicon wafers, then it will bring a new energy revolution.

Now the gallium nitride material R&D center has become mature in the preparation and processing technology of gallium nitride materials, which has paved the way for large-scale utilization, and all subsidiaries of Huaxing Group have now begun to carry out their own applications on this basis.

Now Tong Jianwei's eyes have been set on the preparation of larger-sized gallium nitride wafers.

"Yang Shao, now the research and development of 4-inch gallium nitride wafers is relatively smooth, and products can be released in the second half of this year. ”

"Very good, you have to continue to work hard to make the GaN wafer size 6-inch wafer or even 8-inch wafer, and reduce the material cost as soon as possible. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile: "Huaxing Group is now going to launch a high-brightness LeD bulb project, I hope that in a few years, the price of gallium nitride-based LeD chips can be controlled below one yuan, and energy-saving LeD bulbs can be generated on a large scale." ”

"Now the price of energy-saving lamps imported from abroad is very expensive, I hope that after a few years, the price of LeD bulbs produced by us will be controlled below 10 US dollars, this price is the price that foreign consumers are willing to accept, and it can be sold to more than one billion pieces a year, and then gradually eat up the market share of other types of bulbs, this market size is still very large, if we work harder, if we can eat 20% of the lighting market within ten years, the annual revenue can also reach more than 10 billion US dollars." ”

Yang Jie said with a smile: "If you add other application fields, our company has given birth to a huge industry. ”

Tong Jianwei next to him and many technical backbones are extremely excited, the bigger this industry is, the more R&D funds and dividends they get every year.

In recent years, although the gallium nitride material R&D center has basically been in a state of loss, a total of 80 sets of radar systems were sold last year, with a revenue of 120 million US dollars, but the military product control is very strict, and the net profit is only 16 million US dollars, and the dividend to the R&D center last year also reached 20 million, Tong Jianwei personally also received more than 600,000 yuan, and some technical backbones also received 120,000 yuan.

The people in the R&D center want to promote the GaN material technology as soon as possible, at least within two years, the R&D center can no longer rely on the head office to continue to allocate R&D funds, and can achieve its own profitability, recover all the previous investment of the head office, and support its own development.

There is no doubt that the future market for gallium nitride is almost a trillion-dollar market, but this process will take at least ten or twenty years, and Yang Jie is very confident that his company will grab a big piece of the cake in this huge market.

Because Huaxing Group itself is very strong in the R&D and production of semiconductor devices, it is also a matter of handy to develop related applications and products on gallium nitride substrates.

Yang Jie was very satisfied with the progress of the GaN material R&D center, and then rushed to Gannan City to participate in the listing ceremony of Longyuan Rare Earth Technology Co., Ltd.

The listing ceremony was very grand, and Huang Xingli, director of the newly established Strategic Resources Management Bureau, and leaders of the provincial party committee of Ganxi Province also attended the ceremony.

Xue Baohui saw that these big people were chatting with Yang Jie affectionately, and she was also quite emotional in her heart.

Last year, Guó Wù Yuàn merged the Rare Earth Office and the Reserve Center to establish the National Strategic Resources Management Bureau at the beginning of this year.

Last month, the Strategic Resources Management Bureau held a press conference, at which Huang Xingyuan criticized Mitsui & Co.'s various actions in rare earth resources by name, which made the representatives of Mitsui & Co. who attended the meeting very ugly.

The Authority immediately announced at the meeting that it would gradually implement export licenses and quota management for all kinds of precious resource raw materials, and implement a number of measures such as high export taxes, which can be regarded as really catching the sore feet of a group of resource middlemen led by Mitsui & Co.

At the same time, the administration said that foreign companies can bring technology to China and use technology to invest and set up factories in rare earth, indium and other production areas.

After all, because of the weak domestic technical foundation and the lack of research and development of rare earth application technology, we can't just hold good things in our hands and get moldy, so that foreign companies can turn these resources into high-value products for export is the most suitable way at this stage.

After the press conference, the six central ministries and commissions joined hands to carry out a two-year rectification and rectification of rare earth resources across the country.

In view of the situation that the domestic rare earth is heavy in the south and light in the north, Guó Wù Yuàn decided to form two rare earth industry alliances, one south and one north, among which the northern rare earth group was formed smoothly due to the intervention of the military and large enterprises, while the southern rare earth group was formed in a big turmoil.

Most of the rare earths in the five southern provinces are very valuable medium and heavy rare earths, especially the rare earths in western Jiangxi Province are of the highest quality.

Before the state to Ganxi Province every year to the rare earth mining index of only 8,500 tons, but in fact, the annual output of rare earth is more than 30,000 tons, of which 20,000 tons are naturally illegal mining, because the cost of illegal mining is very low, after finding the mine to invest hundreds of thousands of yuan, a month can earn millions of yuan in profits, many people with hēi shè huì background can not resist the temptation of this high profits, crazy theft of rare earth mines, but also some local officials to pull into the water.

In one fell swoop, dozens of officials were involved in the rectification of a particularly large rare earth mining gang in Gannan City, which effectively curbed the local trend of illegal rare earth mining.

This major case also led the central government to issue a special document that directly included the protection of strategic resources in the performance evaluation standards of local officials.

Domestic officials dare not be sloppy only in matters that threaten their official positions, and if the mine is not properly protected, it will be impossible to lose the black yarn.

As long as the local government pays attention to it, the work on the protection of rare earth resources will naturally be carried out quickly.

Ganxi Province has launched rare earth mineral reserves, mainly 9 rare earth and tungsten mineral fields, and many mines have been suspended for rectification. For rare earth mining enterprises that have no instruction production, over-order production, backward technology and have not passed the environmental protection verification, they are required to stop production and rectify within a time limit, otherwise they will be severely punished or even revoke relevant licenses.

Longyuan Rare Earth Technology Co., Ltd. also spent 1.4 billion yuan to acquire a local rare earth mining company, and is now upgrading its technical equipment.

In the evening, Yang Jie also took a car to a villa in Gannan City after Huang Xingyuan and several leaders of Ganxi Province had a meal.

Entering the villa, Yang Jie saw Tanya on the phone, listening to the voice as if she was talking to Xiao Yuhan.

"He's back, do you want to talk to him?"

Tanya glanced back at Yang Jie and said with a smile to Xiao Yuhan on the other end of the phone.

"I don't want to have anything to do with a married man......"

Xiao Yuhan was talking on the phone, chatting with Tanya for a few words and then hanging up the phone.
