Chapter 086: A Rare Opportunity

The next day, Yu Zixian, who arrived at the company early in the morning, called Zhao Xuean again.

Last night, Zhao Xue'an called from here and said that his classmate had news.

Before, because he was optimistic about Zhao Xue'an's identity as an electronics major at Xiangjiang City University, he asked him to help find classmates who were willing to come to the mainland for development.

More than half a month has passed, and Zhao Xue'an finally has news here.

Zhao Xue'an was looking for a classmate of his who was still in Xiangjiang Electronics Factory, and their relationship was not bad before, and they used to keep in touch often, so they knew something about each other.

Zhao Xue'an gave Yu Zixian the contact information of his classmates and some simple information.

His classmate's name is Tong Ruoyu, a very ancient name.

Yu Zixian called the phone, but no one answered!

This is strange, I gave a phone call that no one answered, and if I could get through, no one answered.

The next day, Yu Zixian continued to fight, and this time someone picked up.

"Hey, hello, I'm looking for Tong Ruoyu. ”

"I'm Yu Zixian, Zhao Xue'an introduced you here. ”

……

"You're going to resign? Great, on behalf of Moxin Technology, I welcome you to come to the mainland for development and welcome you to join!"

"When can I come over?"

"In a few days, that's fine, when you arrive in Pengcheng, I'll send someone to pick you up!"

Yu Zixian is very happy that someone has joined his team again.

But after waiting for a few days, Yu Zixian didn't receive a call from Tong Ruoyu, and hesitated to call directly.

Now it's the 25th of January, and the Spring Festival will be celebrated in 20 days, and it will be busier and busier later.

Yu Zixian thought about it and called again.

This time, the call was quickly answered.

It turned out that Tong Ruoyu had always wanted to resign, but in the past few days, the factory owner had an accident and suffered hemiplegia, and the factory, which was already in decline, completely lost its backbone, and Tong Ruoyu's resignation had to be postponed.

The boss's surname is Cai, and he used to be a man of the year in Xiangjiang, but it is a pity that he chose industry when he chose the direction of development ten years ago, rather than others who have transformed into real estate, finance and other industries.

When the industrial environment in Xiangjiang is getting worse and worse, not to mention that the wages of workers have risen sharply, but to say that the land price and rent of the factory are soaring like a mad cow with the popularity of real estate, it will be too late to regret it.

made Boss Cai, who was not optimistic about Xiangjiang Industry, retreat more and more.

In addition, the sudden situation in the past few days has made Boss Cai's family completely panicked. After consulting Boss Cai, Boss Cai's family discussed the transfer of the factory. So that Boss Cai can rest assured to go to the United States for treatment with a more advanced medical level.

However, in terms of the current industrial environment in Xiangjiang, no one has taken over, and even if the price has been reduced several times, no one cares.

Of course, Yu Zixian didn't know about these situations, he just knew from Tong Ruoyu's mouth that Tong Ruoyu couldn't come over temporarily because of the factory's problems and couldn't go through the resignation procedures.

In this regard, Yu Zixian has no choice.

In this way, Tong Ruoyu dragged on for a few more days.

Only this time, when Yu Zixian was about to hang up the phone, he asked on a whim: "By the way, Mr. Tong, what factory do you work in, that is, what does your Boss Cai's factory do?"

"Wafer factory?" Yu Zixian's heart almost jumped out when he heard the word "wafer".

Words such as "wafer" and "transfer" made Yu Zixian's little heart pound violently, and his head felt like it exploded instantly.

"Mr. Tong, don't hang up the phone yet, wait......"

So, Tong Ruoyu explained the situation carefully.

Boss Cai's factory is a wafer factory.

This is the 4-inch wafer factory that Boss Cai invested more than 5 million US dollars to introduce from Yuben in 1985, and at that time it was already three generations behind the development of international mainstream technology.

In the past two years, as the equipment began to age, coupled with the rise in production costs, the efficiency has declined even more.

The transfer price is about 2 million US dollars, how many soft girl coins are there for 2 million US dollars? more than 10 million.

This amount of money is not too much money for the merchants of Xiangjiang, but it is not too big for an industry. It's just that they are keen to speculate in pre-sale and stocks, and no one looks down on high-investment and high-risk industries such as integrated circuits.

Foreign manufacturers, such as Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, are even more disdainful. Their local development is better than that.

With a detailed understanding, Yu Zixian also learned that the factory still has a long-term loan debt of 8 million, which means that the current boss sells for 10 million, and the person who takes over needs to pay 18 million. That's almost $3.5 million.

This boss is also too fine, with an investment of $5 million, and now he needs $3.5 million, no wonder no one has taken over.

However, Yu Zixian still wants it! This is a very rare opportunity.

At this time, the Republic had a state-level integrated circuit introduction project - the 908 Project. But the project became almost a joke about the introduction of technology.

And Yu Zixian wanted to go his own way.

At that time, in order to deal with the problem of scattered and poor, the Ministry of Electronics Industry held a seminar on integrated circuit strategy in Xiamen in 1986 and put forward the "531 strategy". That is, "popularize 5-micron technology, research and development of 3-micron technology, and tackle 1-micron technology", and implement two microelectronics bases in the north and south. The south is concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and the north is concentrated in Yanjing.

From 1988 to 1995, with the support of policies, the Republic gave birth to five large-scale state-owned semiconductor enterprises: Jiangsu Wuxi Huajing Electronics (the former Wuxi 742 Factory merged with Yongchuan Semiconductor Research Institute), Zhejiang Shaoxing Huayue Microelectronics (the first 4-inch wafer factory in the Republic was established in 1988), Shencheng Belling Microelectronics, Shencheng Philips Semiconductor (the first 5-inch wafer factory in the Republic was established in 1991), and Yanjing Shougang NEC (the first 6-inch wafer factory in the Republic was established in 1995).

In August 1990, the State Council decided to launch the "908 Project" in the Eighth Five-Year Plan (1990-1995) to reach the 1 micron process of semiconductor technology, with a total investment of 2 billion yuan. Among them, 1.5 billion yuan will be used in Wuxi Huajing Electronics to build a 6-inch wafer factory with a monthly production capacity of 12,000 pieces, which will be loaned by China Construction Bank. Another 500 million yuan was invested in 9 integrated circuit enterprises to set up design centers.

However, the actual result is that due to the delay of the bureaucratic system, the 908 project took two years to approve the funds alone. Then it took another three years to introduce the 0.9 micron process from Lucent in the United States.

This is the case with the 908 Project. The bureaucracy, on the other hand, blindly pursues technological advancement and does not take into account market factors at all.

However, Yu Zixian can't interfere in this point now, so there is no need to say more.

In addition to this, there is also the fact that both public and private, as long as advanced technology is introduced on the land of the republic, it has to face the Batumi embargo - this is a shackle imposed on the republic by European and American countries due to political factors.

Since the founding of the republic in 1949, the republic has been subject to a strict technological blockade by the "Paris Coordinating Committee" (abbreviated as Batumi) dominated by Western countries.

Batumi was dissolved in 1994 due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, but the technological blockade of the republic by the West did not stop.

In September 1995, 28 countries, including the 17 member states of the former Batumi, held a meeting in Wassenaar, the Netherlands, and decided to establish a technology export control mechanism in the name of controlling the proliferation of weapons technology.

In July 1996, 33 Western countries formally signed the Wassenaar Agreement, and the list of civilian technology controls included nine categories: electronic devices, computers, and sensors. The list of military technical controls includes 22 broad categories. The Republic is also among the embargoed countries.

In the field of electronics, South Korea and Wanwan can easily import advanced electronic equipment from Europe and the United States, while the mainland of the Republic can only buy obsolete technologies that are more than five years behind. South Korea and Taiwan, relying on the advantages of the electronics industry, also imposed a technological blockade on the mainland of the Republic. For example, Taiwan officials prohibit TSMC and other enterprises from investing in the construction of advanced process wafer factories in the mainland of the Republic, and prohibit Wanwan LCD panel companies from setting up factories in the mainland. Even if you set up a factory, you can only invest in a production line that is a generation behind Wanwan. Wanwan manufacturers strictly prohibit Wanwan technicians from jumping to work in relevant enterprises in mainland China through contract constraints.

Under strict precautions from all sides, it has become very difficult for the enterprises of the republic to acquire advanced technology. Foreign enterprises, on the other hand, rely on the advanced technology they have mastered to take advantage of the market of the Republic.

The so-called "exchanging the market for technology" has become the biggest joke in the integrated circuit industry in the past 30 years.

According to some estimates, the republic has paid a huge industrial cost of at least $1 trillion in losses.

In 1990, the Republic of China significantly reduced tariffs, cancelled the import and export approvals for computer products, and opened up the domestic computer market. In an instant, foreign 286 and 386 computers poured in like a tide, and domestic companies such as Great Wall, Inspur, and Lenovo collapsed.

In 1991, Intel and AMD of the United States set off a "black price reduction storm", which made the republic's computer industry even worse. Due to the fact that the vast majority of machine companies have backlogged chips bought at high prices, thus carrying the burden of huge losses, one after another computer manufacturers have fallen in the bloody storm like one after another. The Great Wall, Inspur, and Lenovo are also in limbo.

In terms of microelectronic integrated circuits, domestic enterprises have closed down in the 90s after losing money in the mid-to-late 80s, and the domestic integrated circuit industry has gradually become a situation dominated by foreign-funded enterprises.

By the end of the 1990s, the gap between the Republic's microelectronics and foreign countries was at least 10 years.

Therefore, for these national projects, Yu Zixian, as an insignificant individual, has always held an attitude of avoiding them.

In order to develop the integrated circuit industry, Yu Zixian intends to guide the country to develop in the right direction while trying to win the support of national policies. It is a bit of a fool's dream to influence the country's technological development and policy direction, but Yu Zixian must do so. Because, no matter how big his slap is, he can't cover the many holes (industrial pits) related to the integrated circuit industry.

But before that, he must grow into a subordinate who cannot be ignored by the state.

Otherwise everything will be a dream.

And it seems that this is a good opportunity in front of us - to buy it, have its own integrated circuit factory, and take the most solid first step in the development of the industry.

It's just that this first step seems to be very difficult! 18 million, where does Yu Zixiancheng go from?
