Chapter 423: The Fate of the Enterprise
"Do you want to put a 50,000-ton hydraulic press in place at one time?" Hu Wenhai held the phone in his hand, and his steps did not stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"An increase of 200 million yuan in investment still requires Romanian relations? I will go back and call Ceausescu, there should be no problem in this regard. What did Professor Yan say, are there any technical difficulties?"
"Oh, 15,000 tons of free forging can also be done, this issue is up to you China Railway Construction Investment to make a decision. This time the work is very good, and the investment department can have such subjective initiative, which is a very important quality for the long-term development of the bank. We must try our best to maintain this atmosphere and environment, and do not suppress the enthusiasm of the front-line personnel below. ”
"Governor Fang still has to go to Japan more recently, and it is not enough to rely on our own strength. Striving for Japan's black circulation is the fundamental ...... to solve the problem of upgrading the industrial system of the Baixiu Railway and the China Shipbuilding Corporation."
Hu Wenhai's phone call went all the way, and when he threw the big brother in his hand to Wang Ye, it was already the big square in front of the production workshop of the Xinke wafer factory.
The new technology wafer factory is located on the seaside of the magic capital Pudong, because of the new technology wafer factory, the magic city government opened a copy of the Pudong Development Zone in advance.
Unlike China's financial center, Pudong's economy today is dominated by tech companies that are scrambling to move in.
It is mainly based on the supporting upstream and downstream industries of Xinke wafer fabs, and the upstream manufacturers are mainly Japanese companies. Three polysilicon manufacturers, Tokuyama Soda, High-Purity Silicon and Osaka Titanium Manufacturing Co., Ltd., have set up special branches in Pudong to sell polysilicon, a raw material for the production of five-inch semiconductor wafers, to Komatsu Electronics and Shin-Etsu Semiconductor.
Komatsu Electronics and Shin-Etsu Semiconductor are the two largest semiconductor-grade monocrystalline silicon manufacturers in Japan. The two companies have also formed a joint venture with ST fabs to produce monocrystalline silicon for the fab in Pudong.
Since 1985, trade frictions between Japan and the United States have intensified. Japan's monocrystalline silicon production industry, which is a major exporter, has been greatly affected. There is a serious backlog of polysilicon, excess domestic production capacity of monocrystalline silicon, and the rapid rise of China's color TV industry have led to a cliff in Japan's integrated circuit sales. Now that there is an opportunity to open up the Chinese market, monocrystalline silicon manufacturers with little bargaining power can open up sub-bases in China is already a performance worthy of celebration.
Not only the enterprises that produce raw materials, but also the enterprises that produce equipment have set up a sales branch in Pudong. Canon, Nikon, and Platinum Elmer in the United States are all internationally renowned lithography machine manufacturers.
It is not only lithography machine suppliers, but also Analog Devices, which automatically tests and sorts silicon wafers, Eleetroglas, which manufactures automatic probe stations, BTU and Thermco, which produce automatic boat release systems for diffusion furnaces, and Applied Materials, which use robotic loading and unloading plasma etching machines.
These seemingly "less important" companies on the semiconductor production line have also flocked to Pudong to actively set up sales branches in Pudong and even joint ventures with China.
Unlike the future monopoly of semiconductor production equipment by a few large enterprises, in this period, semiconductor manufacturers show a trend of hundreds of schools of thought.
In the era when there are only three lithography machine companies in the world, it seems difficult to imagine that there is still a period when there are hundreds of lithography machine manufacturers in the world. IN ADDITION TO THE WELL-KNOWN CANON NIKON, PLATINUM ELMER, PERKIN-ELMER, MICRALIGN, GCA, GUINTEL, EATON......
This long list of names represents the development direction of a lithography machine and its market share is by no means small.
It was as if the ST fab had opened a gap in the embankment, making it possible to export semiconductor technology that was originally prohibited from being exported to China. Although the current state of the art does not allow it, the ban on processing technologies above 2 microns has been effectively lifted.
How can we not be ecstatic that the entire Chinese market has opened up to the world's semiconductor industry? The influx of semiconductor equipment manufacturers has made Pudong shine with the light of completely covering Zhongguancun.
For a while, it seemed that all semiconductor equipment manufacturers that could be found in the world could find their traces in Pudong. There is no joint venture company, maybe there is a sales branch, and at worst, you can always find one or two offices or representative offices in a building that has not yet been renovated.
China's blue ocean has attracted the attention of every giant ship in the semiconductor industry.
Driven by the new technology wafer factory, many domestic companies have also released their own semiconductor production plans.
Shougang Group is in contact with Japan's NEC to build a semiconductor production line with the help of NEC. Modu Venus and Modu Bell contacted Modu Bell to jointly afford the investment in a semiconductor production line. And Changhong is even more ambitious to introduce a color TV integrated circuit production line from Panasonic.
As for other companies and programs that are less successful and smaller in scale, there are even more of them. When ST Group indicated that it could provide 68,000 production authorizations, almost every province had plans to set up its own fab.
1.5 microns, 2 microns can't do it, and 4 micron and 5 micron production lines can produce early Apple Macintosh computer-level CPUs for up to 10 million dollars. No matter how poor the provinces are, they can still take out 10 million dollars. The only thing that restricts these production plans is the problem of talent pool.
There are also companies that plan to go off the rails, which is a relatively keen sense of smell in the market. Seeing that the domestic electronics industry is about to usher in a wave of spring breeze, the integrated circuit production line is not good, but the PCB and electronic components can not be made? There can be no integrated circuits, there is no need for resistors, capacitors, and inductors, these accessories, right? Besides, printing PCB is also a good business, with a small investment and wide application, and even the large number of toy factories in Shentuchuan can swallow astronomical PCB supply every year.
Especially in the construction of the Xinke wafer factory, the Ministry of Electronics Industry and some senior leaders who participated in the whole process also found a problem. The speed of development of semiconductor technology makes this industry very time-sensitive. At the beginning, the equipment purchased by the new technology wafer fab was still at the world's leading level, and after it was completed, it became world-class. When you really master the technology of this set of equipment, I am afraid it will be the mainstream level of the world.
And how long has this technological progress been? It's only two years. In two years, perhaps the last local report came up, and the Ministry of Electronics Industry has not had time to complete the approval process.
In the past, the Ministry of Electronics Industry didn't think there was anything about it, after all, the products produced by the tube factories and other units in their hands may not have changed for several years. As for the production line, it has not been updated for more than ten years except for a few key enterprises.
Not to mention far, Xiucheng Huaguang Electron Tube Factory was put into operation in 1965, and in 1985, it was still the same batch of equipment used for the Japanese OEM audio pipe. Even the number of the 777 factory painted on the wall of the workshop can barely be seen.
Obviously, such a rhythm is not suitable for the business needs of the fab. At present, the Ministry of Electronics Industry and the State Council are also studying whether the authority for examination and approval and investment can be delegated to local enterprises to operate on their own.
After seeing such a trend, international semiconductor equipment manufacturers have stepped up their pace of entering China.
For example, today's commissioning ceremony of the Xinke wafer factory, the solar energy of the magic capital in August - wait a minute, the sun in the magic capital is very different from the dazzling sun in the south recently, and it has been raining for seven consecutive days now!
It's finally sunny, it's really nostalgic!
The dry air and the clouds that drifted from time to time made the atmosphere of the crowd sitting in the square much more relaxed.
At this time, in the temporarily reconstructed square in front of the parking lot in front of the production workshop of the Xinke wafer factory, most of the seats are obviously foreigners. Half of the remaining half of the people are Japanese and Singaporeans, and many of the remaining half of the people are from Treasure Island.
Hu Wenhai quietly walked towards his seat, and a leader-like person on the stage was making a speech.
"The Destiny of an Enterprise ......"
"Yo, isn't this Mr. Cai, welcome, welcome! How is the business lately? If necessary, our new branch can continue to inject capital!" Hu Wenhai walked halfway, saw Cai Jieming in front of him, and greeted him with a smile.
"Ahaha, don't bother Mr. Hu. Cai Jieming smiled awkwardly, if Xinke injected more capital, his small company would have to be changed to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinke: "We recently planned to make an audio decoding chip, and it went very well." ”
"That's good, I hope you, oh, what should be called us, can succeed soon. Hu Wenhai smacked his lips a little unwillingly, Cai Jieming is likely to be engaged in MP3 decoding chips, and he is still a little greedy for this project.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it, and Cai Jieming's joint development IC design technology company has a 70% stake in the hands of ST Group. Even if you can't grab the project, Xinke will use the MP3 player in the future, and it will be just a left-handed hand-to-right-handed one.
"On behalf of all my colleagues in the company, thank you Mr. Hu for your concern. Cai Jieming nodded.
"Of course, you have to rely on your own struggle......"
Hu Wenhai took two more steps, and it was no one else sitting in front of him, wasn't this Zhang Zhongmou, who was already preparing for the Xiangjiang Wafer Factory?
"Mr. Zhang is also here! How about the wafer factory project in Baodao? Are the British relieved?" Hu Wenhai shook Zhang Zhongmou's hand and smiled lovely.
The world is impermanent, Zhang Zhongmou sighed in his heart, who would have thought that he would not be able to return home one day. Fortunately, it is said that Comrade Jianfeng has recently been ill -- it is very likely that the reason for the leak of the Jingguo account -- that the highly classified military information named after him has been completely destroyed by the other side of the strait, and this blow in the face is inevitably too harsh.
But since Comrade Jianfeng's body has a problem, at this critical juncture, Zhang Zhongmou's family has been protected to a certain extent and has not been involved.
"The British side has found a few key people, and now everything is ready, but the progress is definitely not as fast as the speed of Mr. Hu's Xinke wafer factory. Zhang Zhongmou smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.
The original plan of the Xiangjiang wafer fab was to launch the 1-micron process, but both the United Kingdom and the United States gritted their teeth and refused to let go of this license. In the end, only the 2-micron process technology was agreed. Fortunately, IGCT's analog circuit is not so picky, and 2 microns is 2 microns, which will not affect everyone's money.
It's just that many places in China plan to go to the wafer factory, but due to the lack of talents, they are all under the idea of this wafer factory. Interns who can't be sent to the Xinke wafer fab can be sent to the Xiangjiang wafer fab. It is conceivable that after the Xiangjiang wafer factory is put into production, I am afraid that the yield rate will not be good for a long time.
Various reasons have interfered greatly with the Xiangjiang Wafer Factory, and it is no wonder that Zhang Zhongmou shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Hu Wenhai greeted him lightly, and then continued to walk towards his position.
"But also take into account the course of history......"
When Hu Wenhai walked to his seat, the leader on the stage had finished his speech and left the stage to say goodbye surrounded by a group of people.
"Mr. Hu! The leader still has something to do, so he will go back first, and let me come over and say sorry. ”
Secretary Lan sat down next to Hu Wenhai and said apologetically.
Hu Wenhai waved his hand again and again: "What Secretary Lan said, the chief's working day is full of opportunities, and it is not easy to attend today's ceremony, we have nothing to say that we are not satisfied." ”
Secretary Lan nodded, originally polite, and then asked: "The leader asked me to understand the production matter, what is the current yield rate? How long does it take to increase to a profitable level? How is the sales of the product?"
It is said that it is a commissioning ceremony, but of course it is impossible to erect a monument like the groundbreaking ceremony and wait for the leaders to fill it with a shovel and a shovel of soil. In fact, the first batch of production plans for the new technology fab has already begun, and now this ceremony is more like a "make-up".
But in the final analysis, it is just to find a reason for the stakeholders of the new technology wafer fab to meet with everyone and put on the face of the new technology wafer fab.
As for whether it is reissued, now that the social atmosphere is open, it is not a big deal to get on the bus first and then make up the ticket, or even get married with a child!
Secretary Lan asked about the implementation of the first batch of production plans of the new technology wafer factory.
Hu Wenhai sighed and said: "The yield rate is still good, our workers have all worked in the Motorola semiconductor factory, and the equipment purchased is all the same model of Motorola." After accumulating experience in small-scale trial production, the yield rate of the first batch of production plans reached 75%. In fact, when it comes to this line, it should be said that there is already profitability. Achieving a yield rate of 90% should be achieved before the Spring Festival next year. To say that the yield rate of Motorola is the same level, it is optimistically estimated that it will take two years. As for product sales, this is even more worry-free. ”
Hu Wenhai counted on his fingers: "Just to supply the domestic demand for 68,000 CPUs, it has already occupied our production capacity." In the future, we also have plans to produce memory, a graphics card for consoles sold to the Soviet Union, and a data storage chip without a mechanical structure is also being designed. Secretary Lan, please rest assured, our production capacity is far from meeting the demand, and there is no possibility of backlog of any chip produced. (To be continued.) )
