Chapter 621 Seize the Opportunity

Theoretically, the market share of the charismatic semiconductors, which has been brutally suppressed, will shrink, the stock price will fall, and the output will gradually decline.

Because the more you produce, the greater the loss, and this is a vicious circle.

Otherwise, these international giants, including S Star and MG, would rather lose money than fight a price war, and don't they want to crush Charm Semiconductor?

But all of them underestimated the financial strength of Populus euphratica.

For example, like the previous financing, on the surface, it was the issuance of corporate bonds and loans from banks, but in essence, it was supported by Hu Yang's own funds.

Therefore, Hu Yang dared to make a decision to let Charm Semiconductor invest countercyclically and build a number of new factories to expand production capacity.

One afternoon two days later, Hu Yang was sitting in his office reviewing documents when he received a call from Zhong Yilin.

"Mr. Hu, thank you very much. My eldest brother went to find Mr. Chang of Ark Computer yesterday morning, and he has now got a batch of goods.

When are you free? I would like to treat you to a meal as a token of appreciation. ”

Zhong Yilin didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time, which made her show her face in front of her eldest brother.

"Haha, it's just a small thing, don't care. I've been busy lately and may not be able to find time. Well, I'll call you when I'm free. ”

The reason why Hu Yang is willing to help is also because Zhong Yilin's matter reminded him. Anyway, this kind of thing is really insignificant to him.

"Well, if you have time, you must ask me out. Then I won't bother you, bye-bye. ”

Zhong Yilin felt very regretful, and was still a little depressed after hanging up the phone.

"Assistant Wu, you ask Applejack to prepare, let's leave for the airport in twenty minutes." By the way, remember to inform Mr. Yan and let him get ready. ”

After talking to Zhong Yilin on the phone, Hu Yang glanced at his watch and asked Wu Xinhui to inform everyone to prepare to go.

He had already applied for a route in advance and flew directly to the magic capital in the evening.

This time, the itinerary was decided on an ad hoc basis. The magic capital is the first stop, and then we have to go to HF, Central Plains City, Imperial Capital, Rongcheng, Jianghan, and then return to the deep sea.

"Mr. Yan, have you explained everything about the company?"

On the plane, Hu Yang and Yan Hanzhang sat together for dinner. The nearest route is not easy to apply, and if you want to travel as soon as possible, you can only take off during this time period.

"Yes, the company's affairs are all arranged. Mr. Hu, are you planning to personally supervise the battle? This trip is not easy. ”

Yan Hanzhang ate a steak and put down the cutlery. To be honest, his appetite was not very good during this time, and his eyes were full of things about charm semiconductors.

If it weren't for Hu Yang's personal name, Yan Hanzhang had planned to stay at the headquarters of Charm Semiconductor recently, and he didn't think about going far at all.

"Mr. Yan, you still have to believe in their ability. Whether it is Mr. Huang or Mr. Wang, they have all grown into independent masters, so there is no need to keep an eye on them too closely. ”

Mr. Huang in Hu Yang's mouth refers to Huang Tao of Charm Semiconductor, and Mr. Wang is naturally Wang Han of Charm Electronics.

"Mr. Hu is right, if I hadn't encountered this kind of predicament, I would have liked to be able to walk around. ”

Yan Hanzhang sighed lightly, he was still very worried about the current situation. Although he has come up with a lot of countermeasures, he doesn't know whether he can survive this hurdle.

"Be firm in your faith, and faith is more important than anything else at this time. ”

Hu Yang didn't want to say too much, and the backbone of the Huijia department lacked this kind of tempering in an extraordinary period. After surviving this hurdle, these people will come up with any one of them, and they are all characters who can take the lead.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Hu Yang returned to his old bungalow.

Yan Hanzhang went directly to the Charm Research Institute, in the magic capital, he didn't need Hu Yang to worry about it, whether it was the research institute or the magic capital factory of Charm Semiconductor, it was his territory.

After a good night's rest, early the next morning, Hu Yang asked Wu Xinhui to notify Meng Rusong, and then came to Xintong International.

"Mr. Hu, do you need to call everyone for a meeting?"

As soon as they met, Meng Rusong asked with a smile.

"It's not a big deal, just don't have a meeting, everyone is busy. Mr. Meng, you give me a brief description of the company's situation, and then let's go to the factory to have a look. ”

Hu Yang doesn't like meetings very much, especially during this time, Xintong International is in a critical period of technology climbing, and he doesn't want to disturb everyone's work.

"That's fine, the whole company has been really busy these days. ”

Meng Rusong is not hypocritical, busy is busy, since Hu Yang has no important things, it is okay not to have a meeting. Subsequently, he began to report on the company's production and operation in recent times.

The current living environment of Xintong International is much better than that of Charm Semiconductor. This is not only a problem of North American suppression, but also a problem of technology accumulation.

Obviously, in terms of technology accumulation, Xintong International is stronger than Charm Semiconductor.

At present, there are not too many enterprises with chip production capacity in the world. At least in the field other than memory chips, there is no single company like S Star.

The sales volume of memory chips in a year of S Star almost occupies six to seven percent of the global market. Coupled with MG and SK, there is not much room for other companies to survive, so there is no pressure on North America to suppress Charm Semiconductor.

However, Xintong International is different. The current technical level of Xintong International is completely comparable to all the world giants, even compared with Taipower, it is not inferior, and it is much stronger than S Star.

In order to diversify risks, many internationally renowned enterprises have a relatively good cooperative relationship with Xintong International.

If North America rashly suppresses Xintong International, there will be many unpredictable problems. Under the premise of not being sure, we can only create some trouble for Xintong International through some small means, such as the procurement of high-end lithography machines.

The domestic lithography machine is in a state of accelerated catch-up, at least in the stage before 10nm or even 7nm, no one can make a stumbling block for Xintong International.

As for the EUV extreme violet lithography machine below 7nm (inclusive), it will take a long time for A&ML to be officially put into production.

After all, Taipower and Chipcom International are tackling the 28nm process, and the application of EUV still has a long way to go.

In addition, Xintong International has become the largest supplier of military chips in China by using domestic lithography equipment. This profit alone has made foreign giants blush.

"Mr. Hu, we predict that the profit of Xintong International this year will increase significantly. ”

When Meng Rusong said this, it was inevitable that he would be a little ambitious.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded, feeling very satisfied in his heart. Back then, Xintong International also came through step by step, and on the road of growth, the problems encountered were not much less than those of the current charm semiconductor.

It can be said that without Dr. Zhang Rulin, there would be no birth of Xintong International. Without Meng Rusong, there would be no great development of Xintong International.

"Mr. Meng, I am really glad that today's Xintong International has achieved leapfrog development. There is a good saying, iron needs to be hard!"

During this time, the matter of Charm Semiconductor also broke Hu Yangcao's heart. In fact, he always thinks that if Charm Semiconductor can have the confidence of Xintong International, it is estimated that North America will not dare to suppress it easily.

"Mr. Hu, I know you're still worried about Charm Semiconductor. If you want me to say, you don't have to worry too much. The road that Xintong International has walked, Charm Semiconductor will naturally go back, which is good for them. ”

Don't look at the smooth sailing of the development of Charm Semiconductor, but the accumulation is still not enough.

Even so, in terms of flash memory technology, Charm Semiconductor has reached the top of the world. In terms of other technologies, the gap between international giants is not large.

The only fatal wound is that the market share is too small. In particular, it is not recognized by most international enterprises, which is the crux of the problem.

"Well, if you want to say how worried I am, it's not that I'm just annoying. What can we do with some countries that have no bottom line? They can only use soldiers to block the water and cover the earth.

Mr. Meng, I know the matter of charm semiconductor. How can I possibly satisfy some people's wishful thinking? Oh, by the way, how is the construction of our secret factory?"

Hu Yang smiled and shook his head, showing Meng Rusong his determination.

He's really not bragging. According to the course of history, the debt crisis of a certain super will soon erupt.

According to Hu Yang's estimate, the advent of a certain super debt crisis may be earlier than the previous life. After all, many things in the two planes have developed very differently so far.

For example, like Xintong International, at the current node of the time and space where Populus euphratica was, it was not so bullish. He remembered that Xintong International had endured humiliation for many years before it began to emerge slowly.

The birth of the Huijia system has changed many events in memory.

Nowadays, it is difficult for Populus euphratica to make decisions directly with the extra memory. But it can't be said that these memories are useless, and their reference value is still very, very large.

"The civil construction of our Jinling factory was completed quickly. The next step is the installation and commissioning of the equipment, as well as trial production, and so on......"

Meng Rusong replied with a smile and assured Hu Yang that the factory in Jinling would definitely be completed within six months.

Hu Yang nodded, and then, accompanied by Meng Rusong, visited the factory and R&D institutions.

"Mr. Hu, our 28nm process technology can actually be regarded as a breakthrough. However, I share everyone's opinion that there are still some minor flaws that need to be adjusted. ”

Meng Rusong pretended to be inadvertent, which surprised Hu Yang.

In terms of technology, a breakthrough is a breakthrough, as long as mass production can be achieved and a good yield rate can be achieved, there is no problem.

If you still want to keep improving, you can do N+1 generation or even N+2 generation. And then smoothly enter the 14nm process, isn't it good?

It seems that Meng Rusong has also learned badly, and he has obviously made a breakthrough in technology, but he is still not satisfied with the tone of his speech.

"Mr. Meng, it's hypocritical, bullying me is not from a technical background, are you? I said, are you walking in front of Taipower again? I haven't heard any news from Taipower recently. Congratulations, congratulations to you ......"

Hu Yang stepped forward and slapped Meng Rusong's shoulder hard, and this slap almost patted people on the head.

"Mr. Hu, do you want to be so ruthless?"

Meng Rusong staggered, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Hu Yang.

Hu Yang hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." This happiness, there is no light or heavy under your hands, Mr. Meng, you will bear more. ”

Meng Rusong knew that this was done by Hu Yang, but what could he do? He also blamed himself for getting a little carried away, he didn't expect Hu Yang to have such a bad taste.

"Mr. Hu, Taipower's 28nm process is also fast, and I got the news that within half a month at most, they will issue an announcement on the success of the development. ”

Meng Rusong smiled, he had no intention of grabbing this first place.

Speaking of which, this is also his bad taste. Meng Rusong plans that whenever Taipower issues an announcement, he will follow up immediately, and the time will definitely not exceed 24 hours.

To be honest, it's a good thing that we make an announcement one step later, and compared with Taipower, our accumulation is worse. ”

There are some things that Hu Yang did not say explicitly, as long as he firmly grasped the world's most advanced chip manufacturing technology, there was no need to care about those vain things.

But if it is really done according to Meng Rusong's plan, in less than 24 hours, the two chip giants in the world have announced that they have successfully developed a new generation of process technology, and fools know that there is a problem here.

If there is no problem, how can it be so coincidental?

But what, these are all subsections, and Populus euphratica doesn't bother to care.

At noon, Hu Yang invited Meng Rusong and Zhang Rulin to have a meal outside. During this time, Zhang Rulin happened to be in the magic capital, and Hu Yang called him together.

After eating, Populus Hu did not rest, and rushed to the Charm Research Institute non-stop.

When I went upstairs to the conference room, not only Yan Hanzhang, but also Yang Chenglin, Takuya Sakamoto and others were there.

"Everyone, I won't say much more than anything else, everyone is seeing the current predicament of Charm Semiconductor. Whether or not we can bounce back is crucial to your research. Now, please tell us about the progress of the research and development work......"

Hu Yang greeted everyone, and the first thing he said when he sat down was to let them report to their work.

Yang Chenglin and Takuya Sakamoto glanced at each other, and Yang Chenglin spoke first.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Yan, everyone...... At present, the company's R&D work on the N+1 generation of 32-layer stacking technology has been completed, and small batch trial production has begun. In addition, the 64-layer stacking technology has also begun to be developed......"

Yang Chenglin only talked about the progress of flash memory, in the DRAM area, the technological progress is slow, and there is no hope of catching up with giants such as S star for the time being.

Fortunately, the gap is not large, and the gap has not been widened.

On this point, Populus euphratica is not dissatisfied. Technological progress often means investment and time, and you can't expect it to happen overnight.

At present, smart phones are in a stage of rapid growth, and the market sales of mobile phone memory and flash memory are developing at a rapid pace.

The advent of new products means that we can seize market opportunities.
