On August 26, Liu Zhicheng signed a wafer process technology transfer agreement with Deyi on behalf of Sinochip Microchip, although the whole transaction is only the first step, the industry is in an uproar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the European and American manufacturers mainly focus on the production of high-end chips at the technical level, the reaction is relatively calm, and the reaction of the Asian wafer manufacturing industry is much stronger.

The mainstream process technology of Asian foundry enterprises is 0.18 microns, and the entire wafer foundry industry has not completely come out of the shadow of the financial turmoil, most of the Asian wafer manufacturers have varying degrees of losses in the whole year of 98 and the first half of 99 - the rise of a strong competitor in Chinese mainland with lower production costs is definitely not what they are happy to see

TSMC also announced in mid-July that it would postpone the construction of its new 12-inch factory because the recovery of the Asian economic situation was not as expected and the wafer foundry business suffered a small loss in the first half of the year. The new fab will be built using the latest 0.13 micron process technology, which means that once the technology transfer deal between China Microchip and Deyi is finalized and one or two more large wafer fabs are jointly built in mainland China, even if the current economic situation is still very unfavorable, TSMC will have to quickly promote the construction of the new fab in order to maintain its dominant position in Asia.

Taiwan UMC is also negotiating with Deyi to introduce 0.13 micron wafer process technology, and seeing that Zhongjing Microchip is catching up from behind the buttocks, it is inevitable that there is a sense of crisis for the dog to chase and bite the butt.

HG has a more acute sense of crisis at several fabs, which have only three 0.18-micron technologies, not to mention plans to introduce or develop more advanced 0.13-micron technologies.

Asia has even voiced exclamations that China's electronics industry is about to catch up with HG overnight.

In a villa area called Xicuiyuan in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, there is a luxury villa near the artificial lake in the villa area, although the owner has other people's names written on it, every time Lin Xue returns to Beijing, Ge Jiande keeps her to live here.

"Kumho is really beautiful, and the American Recording Industry Association has been in a lawsuit in the United States for half a year, forcing the American Recording Industry Association with a round waist and broad shoulders to bow its head, and within a few days, it negotiated with Deyi to cause 0.25 and 0.18 micron wafer process technology," Lin Xue sat on Ge Jiande's lap in a nightdress, and her snow-white thighs stilted up from her nightdress, and while talking to Ge Jiande, she applied nail polish, "Even I, a layman, know that Kumho is going to help the domestic electronic basic industry upgrade two levels this time, Aren't you known as the head of China's electronics industry, what do you think? ”

"How can there be such a simple thing," Ge Jiande said gloomily, but his fingers stroked Lin Xue's legs, he liked to make the tender meat here, and said, "Whether it can be done or not, it's not something that Kumho and Deyi can say by themselves?" ”

"I've asked someone, the 0.18 micron wafer process technology is still rubbing the edge of the U.S. technology export control to China, and Deyi will be able to do it with some effort behind his back, what should you do?" Lin Xue pushed away the dead wood-like hand on her thigh, scratched the itch between her legs, and said with a smile, "When the time comes, Huaxia NEC may become a laughing stock......

A hint of gloom flashed on Ge Jiande's face, and Huaxia NEC, a joint venture with RBNEC Electronics, started construction in Jianye in the middle of last year, and it has been a year since then. Due to the active cooperation of the Japanese side, the construction of Huaxia NEC factory and the introduction of equipment are very rapid, and the trial production will be carried out after the autumn, although the construction speed can not be compared with Zhongjing Microchip, but the construction level is also in the middle and upper reaches of the industry - this alone is enough to make Ge Jiande face shine.

But behind the applause lies a great deal of sorrow.

The domestic fabless semiconductor industry, that is, the semiconductor chip design industry is extremely underdeveloped, and there are many electronic enterprises under Huaxia Electronics, but none of them have chip design capabilities.

According to the original joint venture agreement, the Japanese side is responsible for the business of Huaxia NEC, but at present, the chip foundry market is bleak, and even the operating rate of NEC Electronics' wafer factory in RB is insufficient.

Even though the Asian chip foundry market is bleak, Zhongjing Microchip, which has been completed and put into production, has been able to receive a large amount of chip foundry business orders from Kumho and successfully achieved profitability.

Kumho's growth in chip design capabilities is as dazzling as a dazzling rainbow after rain, and its chip design capabilities in the fields of power control, microcontroller system control, audio and video decoding, memory components, microprocessors, and microcontrollers are no weaker than those of overseas mainstream electronics companies.

Ge Jiande remembered what Yi Yunfei said to Kumho at an internal meeting of the Ministry of Information Industry: "If the domestic semiconductor chip design industry wants to develop, it is necessary to wait for Oak Park to send talents......"

Such words sound itchy to the roots of the teeth, but it is impossible to refute.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xue flicked Ge Jiande's chin and let him look at his eyesight, even if he was a little disgusted with him, but he was distracted in front of his beauty temptation, which still made her feel faintly unhappy, "I often hear others say in Jianye that there is only one year before and after the construction period of Zhongjing Microchip and Huaxia NEC, the process technology used is similar, the scale of investment and the scale of construction are similar, and they are all built in Jianye High-tech Zone, and the gates of the two factories are only two kilometers apart. But I think Huaxia NEC probably can't compare to others no matter how hard they try - what do you say the people in the Ministry of Information Industry will think, what will Geng Chongyang think? She really didn't mind poking Ge Jiande's sore spot at all, and her fingers were twisting against his cheek.

"What will Minister Geng think, how will I know?" Ge Jiande was a little annoyed in his heart, and viciously grabbed Lin Xue's buttocks and pinched them.

"Before I came to Beijing, I met with Yan Wenjie, and we discussed and discussed, but we couldn't figure out how much money Kumho could have in China - judging from a professional perspective, how much do you think the entire Oak Park project needs to be invested from the beginning of '97 to this year?"

"Have you ever slept with Yan Wenjie?" Ge Jiande asked.

"Tell you about serious things," Lin Xue pushed Ge Jiande's hand away from his buttocks, "Besides, the old lady can follow whoever she likes, can you control it?" Unless you divorce your yellow-faced wife and marry me, I will let you take care of me. ”

"I don't believe you don't steal." Ge Jiande said with a wicked smile.

"......," Lin Xue said without dwelling on the topic with him, "Some media estimate that Kumho has invested two billion yuan in the Oak Park project in the past two years. ”

"Two billion is not enough!" Since Kumho launched the Oak Park 100 Talents Program, it has introduced more than 400 middle and senior researchers and engineers in microelectronics and related fields from overseas, and has directly recruited more than 3,000 researchers from China to supplement the Oak Park with engineers. What do you care about this, the Yan family has connections in this regard, and they can't find out the details of Kumho, how can I know? ”

"The Yan family can't find out either," Lin Xue said, "We just feel a little confused, we estimate that Kumho plans to invest more than four billion yuan in Oak Park, what do you think?" ”

"Kumho pays for the Oak Park project through a number of companies registered at home and abroad, and unless Kumho honestly hands over the account books, no one will want to find out, and we can check the financial information of domestic and foreign parts, especially those tax havens, and the central government will not be able to get it," said Ge Jiande.

"That's why you, an expert, will evaluate it." Lin Xue said coquettishly.

"The domestic part of the Kumho Oaks plan should invest about four billion yuan in the past two years," Ge Jiande touched his chin and said, "But Kumho also set up an ESS experimental base in California, USA, and it is said that there are more than 400 scientific researchers in the ESS experimental base, and in Silicon Valley, where there are many technology companies, such a scientific research scale is also considerable, and the annual salary for these 400 researchers alone is more than 40 million US dollars. In addition to ESS, Kumho also has an experimental base in RB Tsukuba City; In addition, Kumho has 14 product design and development centers in major markets for consumer electronics around the world—how much money is invested? ”

"These are the places we suspect, we predict that Kumho will invest no less than 6 billion yuan in the entire Oak Park plan - and Kumho will bring in 4 billion yuan from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 97 years, and the net profit that Kumho can get in 97 and 98 years will be about 4 billion, and the total amount will be about 8 billion yuan, but in addition to the Oak Park plan, Kumho will invest no less than 5 billion yuan in Zhongjing Microchip, Shin Kong Paper, Shin Kong Forestry, Xiangxuehai, Container Telecom and Aida Group's own capacity expansion. There is a difference of at least three billion yuan," Lin Xue said here, her eyes lit up, and the light in her eyes was fierce and vicious, "because the vast majority of Kumho Commercial's funds come from creditors, and Kumho Commercial's use of funds must be disclosed to these creditors to a certain extent, and it is impossible for Kumho Shoji to provide a large amount of funds for the Oak Park Project, and Kumho Commercial's large-scale financing only started after June last year. Nor can it fund the Oak Park project and other industries in Kumho before June last year - there is probably a big problem in this 3 billion difference! ”
