Chapter 347 prepares for the construction of three new factories

"Assistant Lin, let's not rush back first, wait a few more days. ”

Although the additional issuance work of Xintong International has been completed, there are a series of things such as building a factory next. These are important issues that need to be discussed by the Board of Directors.

At present, Xintong International has built three wafer factories in the magic capital, and acquired two factories of Motorola in Jinmen, making a total of five factories.

Regarding the location of the new factory, Hu Yang first discussed with Meng Rusong.

"Mr. Hu, I think the sixth factory should be built in other places. There are already three factories on the side of the magic capital, and if the new factory is placed here, it is a bit too concentrated. This is not necessarily a good thing for businesses. ”

The demand for resources such as electricity is huge, and the construction of factories is too concentrated, which undoubtedly increases the operational risk of the enterprise.

"Well, that's my opinion too. Jinmen is definitely not considered, and you can make a choice in the two places of Shenhai and Rongcheng. ”

Populus prefers to build the new factory in the deep sea, because the school-enterprise cooperation project with the deep sea university will provide a steady stream of technical talents for the enterprise.

"Mr. Hu, until now, we do not have our own packaging and testing factory. The investment in the packaging and testing plant is not very large, can we consider building it together with the sixth factory?"

Meng Rusong also mentioned the packaging and testing plant in the previous report, but his focus at that time was on the sixth factory, so it did not attract the attention of the directors.

"Mr. Meng, in this way, you first make a project report. In a few days, the company held another board meeting to discuss. At present, the company has abundant funds, and you can also mention the matter of the seventh factory in the report. ”

Hu Yang has also been repeatedly considering in the past few days, according to the company's existing financial strength, it is completely possible to launch two wafer factories and one packaging and testing plant at one time.

Meng Rusong nodded, and said with a smile, "Mr. Hu, your heart is bigger." I see what you mean, I'll arrange for someone to do the project report right away. ”

Hu Yang stayed in the magic capital until now, just to implement this matter well.

I remembered that at the beginning, the construction of Xintong International's factory did not let Hu Yang worry about it at all, and it was all handled by Zhang Rulin.

If Zhang Rulin's body didn't have problems, it would be great to have him, a "master of factory building".

Due to the time difference, after dinner in the evening, Hu Yang made a phone call to Zhang Rulin. On the phone, Hu Yang was mainly concerned about the other party's health, and asked him when he would return to China by the way.

"Mr. Hu, thank you for your concern. I have a small ranch in Texas, and the natural conditions here are good, which is good for healing. However, I also wanted to go back, and the doctor said that my body was recovering well and I could change places frequently. ”

Zhang Rulin was in a good mood, and he said that he was going to return to China in a few days.

"That's great! The company is preparing to build one or two new fabs and a packaging and testing fab, and they're going to want to ask you for that experience. Please pay more attention to your health, and I will see you when you return home. ”

Hu Yang hopes that Zhang Rulin's health will get better, and with Dr. Zhang and Meng Rusong in Xintong International, Hu Yang will be much more relaxed.

"Well, when I get back, I'll definitely do my part. Mr. Hu, let's meet and talk in a few days, let's do this first?"

Zhang Rulin immediately hung up the phone and handed the phone to Mrs. Zhang.

"You! Now that your body hasn't fully recovered, you're starting to worry about the company again. Didn't you say that Mr. Hu and Mr. Meng did a good job? If you want me to say, you can just let it go. ”

Mrs. Zhang blamed, she actually didn't want Zhang Rulin to return to China so early. When she came to Texas at that time, she proposed it, the purpose was to keep Zhang Rulin away from work.

"Hehe, you don't understand, I won't go back, although the company will not be chaotic, but some people may have to think differently. Hey, the old staff who used to follow me from Treasure Island have been gone three times during this time."

Zhang Rulin is very aware of the company's situation, and his idea is to try to stabilize the workforce.

"Good, good, you always have a point. I can't tell you, let's book a ticket for next week. ”

The ranch is a bit far away from the big city, and Mrs. Zhang plans to accompany Zhang Rulin to a review after returning to the magic capital.

A week later, Meng Rusong handed over the project report to Hu Yang. Almost at the same time, Zhang Rulin also boarded a flight to China.

"Mr. Meng, you planned four wafer factories and one packaging and testing plant at once, is this a bit too much?"

Hu Yang is more troubled by Meng Rusong, and in some things, the other party is indeed very aggressive.

"My Mr. Hu, look carefully, the report has already indicated that this is a three-year plan. I thought that the company would continue to build factories in the future, so I simply let them make the plan at one time. ”

Meng Rusong smiled and took the report, pointed to it, and Hu Yang found that there was a line of small characters in the remarks, with the words of the three-year plan written.

Smiling and shaking his head, Hu Yang didn't bother to pay attention to Meng Rusong's careful thoughts.

"Then two wafer factories and one packaging and testing plant will start at the same time, and the location will be Rongcheng and Shenhai. Mr. Meng, you ask the secretary of the board of directors to inform the directors that the board meeting will be held in the company's administrative building early the day after tomorrow. ”

Hu Yang plans to build a wafer factory in Shenhai, a wafer factory and a packaging and testing plant in Rongcheng, numbered Shenhai Fab 6, Rongcheng Fab 7 and Fab 8 respectively.

After arranging the board meeting, Hu Yang left Xintong International.

These days, he basically runs on both sides of Xintong International and Charm Manufacturing. There is no problem in the management of charm manufacturing, and the technical ramp-up is also carried out in an orderly manner.

The gap between Charm Manufacturing and international advanced enterprises in technology is even larger than that of Xintong International. However, the company's products are temporarily positioned in the middle and low end, and Charm Electronics and Mingkang Communication are its big customers, and the orders are also basically guaranteed.

For such a long time, the low-price dumping strategy of South Korea's Samsung and SK has not achieved great results, but has made them very uncomfortable.

Dumping at low prices is all about breaking down opponents, but if you can't do it, this strategy becomes a burden.

The first to make the adjustment was South Korea's Samsung, which announced that it would stop producing low-end storage chips starting next month.

"Mr. Hu, now many merchants who make low-end mobile phones and USB flash drives and other products have come to us and placed orders for us. ”

Huang Tao had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, the price war some time ago made his nerves always in a tense state, and everyone lost a lot of weight.

Sa Hongli pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Huang, you don't like to listen to what I say." Relying on the charity of others will definitely not succeed. Therefore, we should take this opportunity to increase investment in R&D. ”

Huang Tao glared at Sa Hongli, this guy has always been a contrarian.

Hu Yang laughed and said, "You don't have to be so tight all the time, if the charm maker can survive, it is the biggest victory." Director Sa, if you think that the current process technology is very mature and the yield rate has reached an excellent level, I agree to increase the investment in the research and development of the next generation of new processes. ”

Sa Hongli smiled and said, "How can it be so fast, there are many problems encountered in the mass production process, and they are still being solved gradually." ”

At present, Charm Manufacturing has released 65% of the design capacity, and the yield rate has reached about 93. It is only one step away from the yield rate of the excellent level (95).

"Okay, Director Sa, you can report to Mr. Yan and ask him to approve another 500 million R&D funds for you. Again, we must go step by step, and we must completely release the production capacity first. ”

Hu Yang can understand the eagerness of Sa Hongli and others to catch up with advanced technology, but the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and no one can become a fat man by eating one bite.

"Mr. Hu, in fact, our production capacity is not bad, it is still the same old problem, our design ability is far from others. ”

Huang Tao once again talked about the problem of design, and it can be seen that he is not satisfied with the technical ability of the design company.

This problem is also clear to Populus Hu, but the time when the design company was founded is still too short and the foundation is insufficient, so it can only develop gradually.

Leaving Charm Manufacturing, Hu Yang returned home and made a call to Xia Bing. Let her tell the North American company over there, focusing on whether there are any small chip design companies worth buying.

Large companies must not think about it, even if the other company agrees to the acquisition plan, the United States will veto it for various reasons.

Two days later, the meeting of the board of directors of Xintong International was held as scheduled.

For the factory construction plan proposed by Meng Rusong this time, the board members basically have no opinions. It's just that in the choice of location, Huang Dong put forward a different view.

Director Huang believes that the two new wafer fabs should be built in the imperial capital, after all, the resources of the imperial capital are at the top level in China.

There is no objection to the plan to build an assembly and test plant in Chengdu.

"I agree with Mr. Meng's plan, a wafer factory and a packaging and testing factory, built in Chengdu. Another fab is built in the deep sea. ”

While everyone was still discussing, Zhang Rulin suddenly walked in from outside the conference room.

"Dr. Zhang, why are you here? How are you recovering?"

Hu Yang also felt very surprised, and he talked to Zhang Rulin on the phone last week, he said that he was ready to return to China, but he didn't expect him to appear in the company today.

"Chairman, are you going to come back to work?"

"Chairman, please have tea"

The conference room suddenly became lively, and all the directors stood up to say hello to Zhang Rulin. Especially the vice president of administration, who was busy bringing tea to Zhang Rulin.

"Everyone, sit down first. Chairman Hu, please continue to preside over the meeting. I just listened outside the door for a while, and I supported Mr. Meng's plan. ”

Zhang Rulin smiled at Hu Yang and motioned for him to continue, and he sat on an empty chair next to him.
