The patent was swapped, Li Yixuan got what he wanted, and felt that he didn't need to stay in the United States anymore, so he flew back to Hong Kong early the next morning.

There are a lot of classic American dramas in the future, and he feels that he doesn't need to waste this time, just find a robot screenwriter to do it in the future.

At the Hong Kong airport, Li Yixuan met Wang Lili and Xia Jinyong, who had just returned from Taiwan. After asking, I learned that the steel structure workshop built for Foxconn had been delivered as scheduled.

Wang Lili said excitedly: "Xuan Shao, you didn't know that when the plant was delivered that day, there were a lot of big people. The mayor of Taipei, the chairman of the Legislative Council, and the president of Taiwan's Executive Yuan are all here...... They said that our steel structure workshop is very advanced. ”

Li Yixuan didn't interject, just sat quietly, smiling and looking at Wang Lili who was gushing. He felt that Wang Lili's performance at this time was no different from those private entrepreneurs in China.

Since ancient times, China has been the largest government in the heavens and the earth, and the people have had a natural fear of officials since ancient times. When the steel structure workshop was delivered, they didn't expect to come back to so many Taiwanese officials, which made Wang Lili and them simply flattered.

Li Yixuan even understood that this was Guo Taiming measuring his muscles.

In the past two years, Orange's development has been too fast, which has made Gou Taiming feel a trace of fear in his heart. Seeing that the gap between himself and Li Yixuan was getting farther and farther, he was worried that one day Li Yixuan would kick him off and replace him with a new generation businessman.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening one day in the future, Guo Taiming mobilized all the relationships of the family and invited several bigwigs from Taiwan to come over, the purpose is to tell Li Yixuan that I have a wide range of contacts and know many powerful people, and it is right to cooperate with me, don't want to leave me.

It's a pity that Guo Taiming did everything for the blind man, he can bluff people like Wang Lili, but he can't bluff Li Yixuan. He didn't take those officials in Taiwan seriously, and of course he didn't need to offend, as long as everyone's well water didn't interfere with river water.

Li Yixuan gave Wang Lili and Xia Jinyong a week's vacation, and as soon as they went to work a week later, Li Yixuan gave them a new job to expand the factory.

Orange hard drives are popular in overseas markets, and the original factory is already at full capacity, and it is time to build a new plant to expand production capacity.

This time, Li Yixuan wants to build 5 large-scale factories in one go, any of which is much larger than the original plant, and after the factory is completed, the annual output of hard disks will exceed 1 million.

Isn't that too fast? Not at all, you must know that Seagate sold more than 30,000 hard drives in 1980, more than 200,000 hard drives the second year, 800,000 hard drives in the third year, and more than 2 million in the fourth year.

In particular, after IBM opened up the PC standard, the market demand for personal computer hard disks has reached an unprecedented level.

Since '85, when Compaq won a lawsuit against IBM over personal computers, sales of PC-compatible machines around the world have increased by tens of millions of units per year, and how many hard drives are needed? In fact, the growth rate of hard disks is much higher than the growth of PCs.

Li Yixuan is just preparing in advance, not to mention that due to his arrival, the butterfly effect set off has detonated the personal computer hard disk market in advance, and the future market demand for hard disks will be greater than the original time and space, one of the most critical catalysts is the early birth of RAID disk arrays.

The concept of RAID disk arrays was first proposed in 1988.

In that year, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, first proposed the idea of RAID in a paper, and divided RAID into five levels, laying a theoretical foundation for the birth of RAID.

In 1995, more than 10 American universities from several internationally renowned universities in the United States, including the University of California, the University of Pennsylvania, Arizona State University, California Polytechnic University, and Stanford University, together with IBM, Seagate, Western Digital, Quantum and other companies, formulated several specifications such as 50 for 5 levels of RAID, which cleared all the basic theoretical obstacles of RAID and made RAID technically possible.

In 2001, the world's first RAID was born.

It should be noted that before this time, although some companies have launched so-called RAID, such as Apple and Microsoft and Oracle, this is not a real RAID, the real RAID was born in 2001.

As a time traveler, Li Yixuan is of course aware of all the 5 levels and technical specifications of RAID, in his opinion, there are no technical obstacles to these so-called specifications, with the technology of the late 70s and 80s, it is completely possible, and it is nothing to mention taking RAID out.

Of course, this specification is also unique to Oranges.

RAID is the catalyst for hard drives, meaning that it allows the actual demand for hard drives to be multiplied.

Although Li Yixuan took out the RAID in advance, he is now facing a problem, when will the technical specifications of RAID be released to the public.

Forget it, let's wait until '82, and it wouldn't do Oranges the slightest benefit to publish the RAID specification now.

The construction of the new factory is proceeding step by step, but there is a problem that Li Yixuan must lay out in advance. He came to Zhang Guifang's office.

"Mom, it's time for us to have our own semiconductor chip factory. ”

Poof~ Zhang Guifang just drank the tea in his mouth and squirted out, "Chip factory, you said it simply, do you know how much it costs?"

"It doesn't cost much, I just went to another time and space to check on the Internet, and all the production lines are added together, and 10 million can be won, including the production equipment of several auxiliary factories. ”

"Really?" Zhang Guifang's heart moved.

Li Yixuan smiled: "Why am I lying to you? You must know that the difference between the two planes is more than 200 years, and there is no difficulty for that time and space. 1.5 micron process technology, COMS line, like 20286 these CPUs can produce 10 pieces per month, and can reach 360,000 pieces per month after the later expansion, and more importantly, it will be very convenient to upgrade in the future, for example, from 1.5 microns to 1 micron, you don't need to replace the entire production line, just adjust the production line slightly, even if you upgrade to the nano level, you don't need to replace the entire production line, you only need to replace a few key equipment, which can save us a lot of costs. Moreover, it is also a highly flexible production line, fully intelligent. ”

"Isn't it too advanced? Zhang Guifang was a little worried.

"What's advanced? As long as you don't take it apart and look at it, who knows what's going on inside. Li Yixuan said disdainfully: "Besides, the production of semiconductor chips requires high-level skilled workers, where do you think Hong Kong can find such industrial workers at present? Even the mainland can't find a few." ”

Zhang Guifang was persuaded, "Well, what do you need me to do?"

"Considering the addition of factories in the future, at least 2 square kilometers of land are needed. Chip manufacturing plants, packaging factories, and key raw materials for chips, wafer wafer factories, are mainly these three parts. "Li Yixuan had already planned the land he bought before, and he didn't want to move.

"The factory actually occupies more than 5 square miles of land, can we sell all the rest?"

"Without a loan, we can buy 2 square miles. ”

"What about loans?" asked Li Yixuan.

"I don't recommend loans, there is a funding gap of more than 2 billion, what kind of collateral do we take, and the annual interest is as high as 20, how can we pay it back?" Zhang Guifang asked rhetorically.

Li Yixuan stopped talking, Hong Kong's land is too expensive, such a remote place, or industrial land, the cost of acquiring land is so high, if it is replaced by commercial use, what is the price? This is still 79 years, at this time the purchasing power of the Hong Kong dollar is still very strong, you must know that the current average monthly wage of ordinary workers in Hong Kong has just exceeded 1,000 yuan.

If you want to buy all the rest of the land, you will have to spend 200 or 300 million, what kind of concept is this? Only a time and space cheater like Li Yixuan would dare to burn like this, and if it was replaced by other reborns, it would be strange if such a method of burning money would not be frightened.

Forget it, two square miles is two square miles, which translates to an area of more than 4 square kilometers, and many factories can be built.
