December 1985, Shenzhen. New Venture Industrial Park.

Accompanied by park managers and SAR officials, Lin Qi is making cuts for newly established start-up semiconductor companies.

Although the new venture semiconductor company is a newly established company, it is by no means a rookie.

Since the introduction of the 3-micron chip production line five years ago, this company has been called the first-class mass production line in China.

Today, the company has five semiconductor factories and more than 20,000 employees. Although the annual production of chips is only more than 20 million, the annual output value is not less than 600 million US dollars because they are all high-end chips with high added value. And there is another much larger semiconductor giant in the industrial park, Lishan Semiconductor Company.

However, most of the profits of Lishan Semiconductor Company are for the foundry of Xinchuang Electronics, and the main products it produces are authorized by Xinchuang Electronics. As a result, Lishan Semiconductor's production capacity and employee size exceed that of Startup Semiconductor, but its profits must not be compared with Startup Semiconductor.

"As you know, semiconductor technology is the core of the modern electronics industry and is currently the fastest growing cutting-edge technology in the world. Its development has not only promoted the civilian consumer electronics market, but also is irreplaceable in cutting-edge medical equipment, automated production, various scientific research laboratories and national defense and military fields. Therefore...... Despite China's reform and opening up and the signing of a series of agreements by Western countries, it has ostensibly entered a honeymoon period. But in reality, cutting-edge technology and equipment cannot be bought even with money. Lin Qi said with deep feelings, "Even if you have money, even if you buy it in the name of a Hong Kong businessman, you can't buy it!" Six years ago, when we were not paying attention to a small company in Europe and the United States, we spent 150 million yuan to buy a mass production line with a 3-micron process. This laid the foundation for our XRM16 series chips to be mass-produced, and then, with the launch of our products and the growth of our company, more and more high-level eyes turned to us, so that our new venture electronics company can no longer import more advanced technology and equipment through Western countries. Well, there is no problem in importing the technology that we have mastered, but there is no way to import some technology that we have not yet mastered! It is impossible to try to shorten the process gap with competitors in Western countries, such as Intel, Motorola, and so on, by buying them! Because as long as these companies have money, they can buy the latest and most advanced equipment, and we can't buy it with money! It is precisely because we realize that we are different from them that it is impossible to obtain real fairness. Flat competition, therefore, we no longer deceive ourselves and count on Western countries to give us some slightly outdated equipment. It was also 6 years ago, after we introduced that set of 3-micron equipment, our road to import advanced equipment from overseas was blocked! However, I do not believe that the Chinese will definitely lose to the Westerners in scientific research, as long as we are determined, as long as the direction is correct, and the funds are sufficient, we will be able to find enough talents in China to help us break the technological blockade of Western countries. It is precisely for this reason that in the past 6 years, our new venture electronics company, together with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lishan Semiconductor Company and some confidential units, has continuously made technological breakthroughs through the combination of production and research and development! Up to now, our 2-micron process has matured, which is completely the result of our domestic independent research and development, which is much more advanced than the 3-micron process we introduced at the beginning. It is precisely by relying on the breakthrough of the 2-micron process that the XRM 32-bit processor can truly get out of the laboratory ......"

The atmosphere of the whole scene is warm and handheld. Almost everyone felt Lin Qi's passion and pride.

If there is no Lin Qi, most of the products imported by Shenzhen are sweatshops with backward and outdated production capacity, raw materials, equipment, and technology are completely imported, and then processed products are exported for foreign exchange.

However, driven by the new entrepreneurship department, the current pattern of Shenzhen has been very different from that of later generations.

The shrinking industrial park, which covers an area of only 10 square kilometers, not only accounts for more than 95% of Shenzhen's GDP, but is also no match for the new venture industrial park when compared with the entire Guangdong province.

It can be said that the entire industrial park has exceeded the sum of the results of investment attraction in other parts of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

In contrast, the new start-up parks produce more than US$10 billion of GDP a year, equivalent to one-third of Hong Kong's GDP. From the perspective of GDP per capita, the GDP per capita of the new start-up industrial park is even higher than that of Hong Kong.

Of course...... This per capita GDP is a meaningless data, because most of these GDP investments are fixed assets, equipment, and technology inputs, and the real front-line production workers generally have a monthly income of between 300~1000, which is only equivalent to the income level of low-income groups in Hong Kong.

With such an income level in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries, it is impossible to recruit workers of the same quality. Even in Hong Kong, you can only recruit people who have no skills and don't know anything.

However, at such a level of income in China, it is already more than 10 times that of ordinary urban workers in China. It is precisely for this reason that the new entrepreneurial industrial park continues to attract a large number of talents with good technical level. The atmosphere here is almost the same as that of Silicon Valley! If there is a gap, it is only the lack of some time accumulation, with enough time accumulation, a large number of giants will be able to hatch here, and have a stronger ecology!

There are even many employees, after working for a few years, have their own ideas, find people in the park, and set up a workshop-style enterprise for the production of parts. Some workshop-type enterprises, because of the quality of the products, can even be included in the procurement list of the new venture electronics group. Many workshop-style enterprises have gradually grown into well-known small leaders in the semiconductor subdivision industry in the industry. Perhaps these companies only produce some insignificant parts with a relatively narrow market, but they can also become a very nourishing existence by firmly occupying the quality and technical advantages in the market segment.

With the intensive technology of the park, it has become the most well-known mecca for semiconductor production and R&D in China.

Even some national-level scientific research units, the design of the product laboratory is not qualified to make samples, with the design drawings to the new entrepreneurial industrial park, to find some small workshops with a good level of technology, you can quickly turn the design drawings into real sample results.

It cannot be said that the technical level of the new venture industrial park is really higher than that of some national laboratories. Rather, it is because domestic scientific research units are relatively scattered, and if there is no authoritative leadership support, each system and unit plays its own game. Only a very small number of projects can organize scattered units and personnel across the country to conduct a "battle" regardless of the cost in the form of an executive order. However, after the reform and opening up, the product of this kind of planned economy has become more and more rare.

After all, the battles of the era of various planned economies, although they can quickly create miracles in some areas. However, since it is not costly, it causes significant losses to other parties, especially the economic sector. As a result of the constant waging of industrial, agricultural, and scientific and technological wars, resources and forces were overused, and after some breakthroughs in a short period of time, they soon fell into weakness due to financial problems.

Of course, there is also a huge problem in not launching a battle, and many units have become accustomed to this kind of battle in which they concentrate their forces to do big things. If this kind of person is not used for a long time, many units have gradually developed inertia, and it is easy to raise people to waste.

However, from the perspective of sustainable development, the transition from a planned economy to a market economy is the way to go. After all, if you want to be sustainable, you have to have a financial return. The more rewards there are, the more follow-up projects can be supported.

At the same time, the market economy and the planned economy are not completely contradictory. For example, we should accumulate profits through the market economy, and then make up for some backward domestic products through economic and economic means.

The biggest help of Xinchuang Electronics Group Company to many units in the system is to help them transform and rely on market orders to support themselves, rather than waiting for the tasks of the superior units.

It's not about digging into the wall, it's about win-win cooperation. Newly entrepreneurial electronics companies have a market and capital, and there are a lot of idle scientific researchers and resources in China. As soon as the two sides are combined, moreover, they are both tech-savvy people who arrange order tasks according to each other's conditions, so that the efficiency is naturally extremely high.

This large-scale scientific research foundry model is also the unique competitive advantage of Xinchuang Electronics.
