Xiong Baizhou's expectations for Aisheng Electronics are not limited to the VCD project, Tao Youshan knows this, and Xiong Baizhou has never concealed this thought, otherwise why would he go to great lengths to dig Wan Yan's group of engineers into Aisheng Electronics, and still raise them with a high salary.

If it is just a technical problem in VCD, Cheng Jie'an can solve it by leading Xiao Fei.

However, Tao Youshan never expected that Xiong Baizhou actually planned to make mobile phones, and he also planned to produce them independently, which was more difficult than the current domestic technological productivity.

"On the mobile phone project, not to mention the shortage of talents in the follow-up communication base station, only to say that so far there is no wafer factory in our country, and there is no basic support point for mobile phones. Tao Youshan looked at Xiong Baizhou and said seriously: "Even if Lao Cheng and I can barely build the framework of radio communication, other objective conditions do not allow us to do this project. ”

Xiong Baizhou nodded, since he planned to develop mobile phones independently of Aisheng Electronics, the problems he may face are often thinking back and forth in his mind, in addition to the mobile phone production license needs to be applied, the wafer factory is an unavoidable problem.

Moreover, Xiong Baizhou is also aware of his weak accumulation in semiconductor electronics, and has long been consciously learning relevant professional knowledge, Xiong Baizhou's purpose is definitely not to become an expert, but to understand and judge the change trend of the electronics industry by remembering the current specific situation.

Another advantage is that I have a correct understanding of many terms and can participate in the normal communication of technical engineers.

Similar to "wafer factory", Xiong Baizhou didn't understand this concept before, but now that Tao Youshan said it, Xiong Baizhou has a concept in his heart.

What is a wafer factory, for example, chips are also called integrated circuits or semiconductors, which are the core basis of computer, mobile phone, and VCD production, and chips are composed of wafers, which are reasonably arranged according to specific production requirements, so wafers are also the initial components of chips.

Monocrystalline silicon ingots are the initial form of wafers, which are cut horizontally to produce many cylindrical wafers, which are polished and smooth as mirrors, which is the role of the wafer factory.

The rise of "Silicon Valley" in the United States also started from the semiconductor industry, hence the title of "Silicon Valley".

"How much does it cost to build an 8-inch wafer factory now?" Xiong Baizhou asked calmly.

8 inches refers to the diameter of the crystal pillar.

"It's about $100 million to $1.5 billion. Tao Youshan thought about it and replied.

"That's an astronomical amount. ”

Xiong Baizhou couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Songbai was stunned when he heard it next to him, he was recently in the construction project of Aisheng Electronics Factory, and witnessed the process of VCD from the production line to the market quickly.

If calculated according to 300 yuan for a unit, Aisheng Electronics will have more than one million sales in just half a month, Wang Songbai is still lamenting that this money is too easy to make, how can it cost 1.5 billion US dollars all of a sudden.

The figure of 1.5 billion US dollars is too big, so big that Wang Songbai has no specific concept, and in his heart it is about the same as 15 yuan.

Tao Youshan continued: "The construction of a wafer fab also needs to take into account the introduction of manufacturing technology and production equipment, the technical blockade of the United States, Japan and Europe and other countries, and the problem of having a reliable technical operation team. ”

"In addition, there is a shortage of experts in signal transmission for the world's communication base stations, and most of them are concentrated in companies such as Qualcomm and Cisco. ”

Tao Youshan said many practical problems in one breath, but he did not dispel Xiong Baizhou's enthusiasm, but only reminded Aisheng Electronics that there is still a lot of preparation.

Outside was the noisy construction noise, and the air conditioning in the conference room was also turned on to the maximum, except for Tao Youshan, everyone else was even breathing quietly, because Xiong Baizhou was thinking about things, and it was rare to have a serious face.

Liu Daxiang came in from outside the conference room after making a phone call, looked at the atmosphere in the room, and didn't dare to speak.

After half a ring, Xiong Baizhou slowly spoke: "The wafer factory is not only a problem faced by Aisheng Electronics, but also an important factor restricting the further development of the domestic semiconductor electronics industry. ”

"Someone in China proposed to participate in the construction of the wafer factory in Singapore, of course, there was a lot of cover-up in the identity, and they wanted to grasp the specific steps of building the wafer factory in this roundabout way, but Singapore was very vigilant, so it was not implemented in the end. ”

Xiong Baizhou lit a cigarette, and his deep voice continued to echo in the conference room.

Tao Youshan listened carefully, Wang Songbai seemed to be listening to the book of heaven, Chen Qingyun and Liu Daxiang didn't know anything, how did they know how much impact Xiong Baizhou's plan would have if it was spread out tonight.

Xiong Baizhou flicked the cigarette ash: "Only by building the wafer factory in the mainland and firmly controlling it in the palm of your hand can it be in line with the interests of Aisheng Electronics, in line with the overall interests of the country, and only then can it be the premise and basis for persuading the country to help us win this project together." ”

"The introduction of this 8-inch wafer factory, the state can not take the initiative to participate in the early stage, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of others and it will be in vain. Xiong Baizhou's eyes were like torches, full of perseverance and strength: "Therefore, we must be able to match the bridge in the preliminary work, and we must also make quiet contact, and after the foreshadowing is done, the last tremor can be used in the name of the country." ”

"If we really promote the completion of the wafer factory, it may be much easier for Aisheng Electronics to apply for a bank loan at that time, after all, this is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people. Xiong Baizhou finally stopped being serious and said to Tao Youshan with a smile.

Tao Youshan is not so optimistic, because Xiong Baizhou only said about success, and on the other hand, it is impossible to think of Xiong Baizhou's careful thinking, he just didn't say it.

"What if the introduction is not successful, and we have already put in a lot of effort in the early stage?" Tao Youshan still couldn't help but ask.

After hearing this sentence, Xiong Baizhou was really prepared: "If it fails, then we will summarize the reasons for the failure, and it can be regarded as paving the way for future generations. ”

Tao Youshan knows in his heart that the big boss has actually been ready for failure for a long time, and he intends to use his own strength to promote the rapid development of China's electronics industry, at the cost of blocking Aisheng Electronics, and even Zhoumei Electric Appliances and Connect Express.

"Boss, in fact, we can also wait for others" Tao Youshan said half of the words, his meaning is obvious, the country can not see the technical defects of this piece, and there will inevitably be enterprises with the prefix "Central" and the prefix "State" in the future.

"Wait for everything, then what's the point of me coming back?" Xiong Baizhou chuckled in his heart, stood up and moved his muscles.

"Where is there a business that does not take risks, and if you can really win this project, Aisheng will have no domestic competitors in the mobile phone project, how much risk there is, how much profit there is, and there are political benefits. Xiong Baizhou finally concluded.

"No loss. ”
