It is impossible for NEC to provide more advanced technology than Zhongjing Microchip to the joint venture project, Huaxia Electronics and Jianye Municipal Government have the construction experience of Zhongjing Microchip as a reference, and they also know what details to pay attention to in the negotiation - everything has Zhongjing Microchip as a template, but the negotiations between NEC Electronics, Huaxia Electronics and Jianye Municipal Government went smoothly, and on June 18, the three parties reached a preliminary intention to jointly build a joint venture Huaxia NEC wafer factory project.

Ge Jiande failed to keep the overflowing ambition until after dusk, before dusk, Zhongjing Microchip handed a statement to the editorial department of Jianye Morning News, although this statement will not be reported until tomorrow morning, but Ge Jiande knew the content of Zhongjing Microchip's statement in advance as soon as possible.

Today, the shareholders of Zhongjing Microchip, led by Yuexiu Holdings, reached an agreement with Deyi, agreeing that Deyi will inject 60 million US dollars into Zhongjing Microchip in exchange for 10% of the equity of Zhongjing Microchip.

Deyi's capital injection agreement still needs to be approved by the State Development Planning Commission before it can finally take effect, but this news is enough to ruin Ge Jiande's good mood for a day.

For Hidezo Ikesa who participated in today's signing ceremony, the Huaxia NEC project is a chicken rib, because the Chinese side has made huge concessions, and the NEC has nothing to lose, and there is no need to take any risks. But chicken ribs are always chicken ribs, and Ikesa Hidezo will not have any particularly pleasant mood because of this.

Huaxi Mining, which aims to integrate rare earth mineral resources, was officially listed in Jianye today, and Chi Zuo Xiuzang will undoubtedly feel that this is a mockery of his fiasco in this crisis management. Toshiba also reached a cooperation agreement with Kumho the day before yesterday for the exchange of patented technology, which undoubtedly slapped Ikesa Hidezo viciously in the face.

In the temporary apartment, Lee Jae-so stared at the rain curtain outside the window, with no expression on his face, and stared for a long time before he said expressionlessly: "Toshiba's movements are so fast!" ”

Kim Nam-yong didn't say anything, what could he say, complain about the slow movement of the headquarters? It should be said that Toshiba's actions were too fast, and their technical negotiations with Kumho lasted less than half a month, and they had just decided to make formal contact with Kumho, but they were told to be eliminated, and their mood was depressed and difficult to stretch.

"Maybe we're just using Kumho to put pressure on Toshiba," Lee Jae-so sighed lightly, "Their goal is to cooperate with Toshiba, as early as half a year ago, they had this intention, once the situation forced Toshiba to take the initiative a little more, the cooperation agreement was immediately reached, to take an old Chinese saying: dry firewood has been waiting for the fire ......"

Kim Nam-yong thought to himself: How can there be such an ancient saying in China?

Kim Nam-yong said: "In the past six months, Kumho's iPlayer and other DMP product shipments have increased month by month, but there is still no light in sight to replace CD, tape Walkman, and MD. ”

"Samsung has missed it-" Lee Jae-so sighed again, and even had no chance of formal contact to be eliminated, feeling a little regretful in his heart, Samsung has not had excellent portable audio-visual products, and may feel that Kumho's DMP technology is not worth exchanging with flash memory technology at all, but Kumho launched the physical flash drive for the first time at the Moscow International Electronics Exhibition a week ago, Lee Jae-so thought: This is the bargaining chip that finally makes Toshiba succumb, Samsung is a slow beat after all.

Lee Jae-so looked at the flash drive in his hand, which was slightly smaller than a disposable lighter, and the real thing was always better than a simple technical document to make people see the future technology prospects, and he rolled the flash drive between his fingers and said, "There is really a possibility of ending the floppy drive...... Microsoft seems to be planning to support the USB interface standard directly in the new operating system. ”

The two largest possible application fields of flash memory technology in the future were both developed by Kumho, and Lee Jae-so was mixed with all kinds of flavors in his heart, and he was still calculating the output value of the current global floppy drive market, and the final mobile memory market size based on USB interface standards will definitely not be smaller than that of floppy drives.

"Probably the only obstacle will be the high selling price...... Although flash drives have not yet been officially put on sale, it can be predicted that the market price of flash drives with a capacity equivalent to 22 floppy disks will not be less than 100 US dollars, and may even reach 120 US dollars. It is still a flash disk that will be officially launched soon, and its key core component is still a flash memory chip, and they need to develop a flash memory chip with higher capacity and lower cost......"

"Yes, that's the fundamental reason why Toshiba can't wait to choose to cooperate with Kumho," Lee Jae-so frowned slightly, "Higher capacity and lower cost also mean a wider range of applications, and we can't leave them behind in this......"

"We need higher capacity, cheaper flash memory chips, the cost of iplayer can be reduced by half, we can win an absolute advantage in the digital audio market, the price of flash drives must also be reduced before it can be more widely used," Zhang Ke held a flash memory chip between his fingers, his eyes stared affectionately, "Before this, we could only passively wait for others, now we can rely on our own ......" Before going to Hong Kong, Zhang Ke specially summoned Chen Xinsheng, Ding Huai, Liu Zhicheng, Cheng Hanzhang and others held an internal meeting in Oak Park. Although it is forbidden to transfer to a third party, Kumho did obtain a full license for flash memory technology from Toshiba the day before, and in exchange for a bargaining chip, Kumho has almost taken out all the technology accumulated over the past few years. It was after signing the agreement with Toshiba that Zhang Ke had some confidence that Kumho could occupy a place in the future electronics industry, "I will not ask for higher capacity for the time being, after all, I have to give the R&D department some time...... The cost is cheaper, I don't know if it can be achieved after October? ”

Of course, if you want to make a breakthrough in Toshiba's current flash memory technology, you need to invest huge financial, material and human resources, and you need to introduce more excellent researchers, which will take a certain amount of time, but it is relatively easy to reduce costs.

In addition to 16M and 32M capacity flash memory chips, Sinochip's 0.35 micron wafer process process can even produce higher capacity flash memory chips.

The factory construction of Zhongjing Microchip has been carried out to the installation of equipment, and the process technology development platform and the pilot line of the 2,000-square-meter ultra-clean room in Oak Park have been completed and put into use ahead of schedule.

Liu Zhicheng said: "Then we will prepare for the production of flash memory chips first, but don't expect the cost to drop all at once, the yield problem may plague Zhongjing Microchip for a long time, and everyone should be psychologically prepared." ”

Zhang Ke smiled and said: "There is no need to rush, I don't think there will be much problem for Zhongjing Microchip to survive, the key is to develop ......"

In the past, in the past five years, the global output value of flash memory chips exceeded 10 billion US dollars, Kumho is not competitive, at least it must be regarded as one of the four major flash memory manufacturers, even if it only occupies 10% of the market share, that is the output value of 1 billion US dollars, Zhang Ke thinks that the survival of flash memory chips alone can make Zhongjing Microchip survive.

Liu Zhicheng does not have much worry about the survival of Zhongjing Microchip, although today Huaxia Electronics, NEC Electronics and Jianye Municipal Government reached a preliminary intention on the joint venture project of Huaxia NEC wafer factory, they did not even have the idea of discussing here, Huaxia NEC has too many congenital deficiencies, it is impossible to pose a threat to Zhongjing Microchip, and Zhongjing Microchip relies on Kumho's internal chip demand to survive, although the first phase of the project has not yet been completed, Liu Zhicheng is already considering the second phase of the project, Considering the future development, he said: "The current process level of Zhongjing Microchip can support the production of 64M flash memory chips at most, and if you want to produce higher capacity flash memory chips, you can only count on the second phase of the project......

Zhang Ke scratched his head and looked at Chen Xinsheng, Chen Xinsheng said: "Although Deyi has also officially injected capital, Deyi has just started the 0.18 micron factory, and it is quite difficult for Deyi to provide 0.25 micron technology immediately...... In the next few years, the market will not have particularly high requirements for the capacity of flash drives, but will have high requirements for the capacity of iplayers - high-capacity flash memory chips, we only need to ask Deyi or Toshiba's factory to ......"

"Now the 32M capacity of the iplayer storage song can only listen to about half an hour, the capacity can be increased ten times or more perfect," Ding Huai said, "The flash memory capacity wants to increase much at once is not realistic, I heard that IBM and Hitachi and other companies are planning to develop micro hard disk technology, this may be the only shortcut to break through the capacity limit in the short term, can we follow up?" ”

"Too much pressure is not good, Hitachi and IBM on the hard disk technical reserves, not we can compare, we will follow up will be very hard," Zhang Ke shook his head, Apple was the first to apply micro hard disk technology to digital audio players, making micro hard disk technology all the rage, for a long time, micro hard disk because it can provide high storage, in the application of mobile storage, especially the application of high-end electronic products is slightly stronger than flash memory, the two technologies have been competing until the end of 07 before the high, Micro hard disk is almost a rout, the first to enter the field of micro hard disk IBM, Hitachi have chosen to withdraw, "from the application field, flash memory and micro hard disk will compete, we do not have the strength to step on two boats, since we have chosen the thief ship of flash memory, then go all the way to the black......

Zhang Ke's biggest advantage can help Kumho to take fewer detours in the most critical stage of development, the competition between flash memory and micro hard disk has continued until the end of 07, but this time Kumho has joined the flash technology camp, how long can the end come in advance? Even if Kumho is not involved in the field of micro-hard disks, high-end products can also apply micro-hard disk technology.

Ding Huai and Chen Xinsheng all laughed, it is indeed not advisable to disperse technical resources, otherwise it may lead to the progress of both ends of the road.

Obtaining a complete flash memory technology from Toshiba is of great significance to Kumho, not only because it values the future development prospects of flash memory technology, but also because it can be said that Kumho has a relatively complete vertical industry chain for the first time. In a few months, one or several iplayers will be the most localized electronic products. Overemphasizing localization is not something to be promoted, and Kumho will implement the strategy of global procurement in actual operation, but Zhang Ke still feels that such a moment is of extraordinary significance, so he deliberately personally gathered relevant people to encourage and encourage them.

After entering June, the rain along the Xiaojiang River does not seem to stop, as if the rain in the early stage of the plum season is mostly continuous and cloudy, not so much as to cause disaster, but the water level of the Xiaojiang River and its tributaries has risen much more than before, not only in the Xiaojiang Basin, but also in the southern provinces of China The rainy season has also arrived earlier than in previous years, and the rain is also extraordinarily abundant.

Driving to Hong Kong, it had been raining before getting on the plane, and Chen Xinsheng accompanied Zhang Ke to Hong Kong.

"The procurement business within the Kumho system can be merged into Kumho Shoji, the introduction of technology from overseas, the introduction of high-quality talents, these will be long-term to adhere to the business, but also by Kumho Shoji to be responsible, the overseas operation department and Kumho Shoji in overseas business development to borrow from each other, in order to avoid repeated waste of resources, you can temporarily put the overseas operation department into Kumho Shoji's name, but we ultimately hope that Aida can become a world-renowned brand, Aida Group needs to develop the best overseas brand marketing network ...... separately" Chen Xinsheng didn't care much about the rain outside the porthole of the plane, and his mind was focused on the purpose of this trip to Hong Kong.

"Kumho Sho can't just be an empty shell if it wants to absorb capital from overseas, and we can't afford to inject too much capital into Kumho Sho," said Zhang...... Among them, the only thing to look forward to is the overseas business with the strongest growth potential......"
