The two of them exercised in bed for a while. They all felt a little tired, so they hugged each other and fell asleep, and in the middle of the night, Fan Wuxi's mobile phone began to ring.

Fan Wuxian pressed it casually, and then it didn't take long for Shen Ying's mobile phone to ring.

"Who, such a disturbing spring dream in the middle of the night-" Fan Wuxi muttered and turned over and sat up, then looked at the caller number, but it was a number she didn't recognize, so she pulled Shen Ying and asked her to get up to answer the phone.

"You take it, people are sleeping just right-" Shen Ying's eyes couldn't open.

Fan Wuxi rubbed his eyes, and then pressed the answer button, "Hey, where?" What the? Oh-"

After he finished answering the phone, he lay down again, but Shen Ying was a little sober, so he asked him, "Whose phone number, why didn't you tell me?" ”

"Well, the headquarters is looking for me. When I saw my phone turned off, I called your phone. Fan replied with his eyes closed.

"What the hell is going on? It's not that they don't know what you're doing—" Shen Ying asked curiously.

Fan Wuxian replied, "Just now, there was an earthquake in Taiwan. ”

"Oh, there's an earthquake in Taiwan—" Shen Ying repeated unconsciously, and then sat up in surprise, "What, there's an earthquake in Taiwan?!" How big is it?! ”

"It has just been shaken, and although there is no news from Taiwan to confirm the magnitude, the mainland's monitoring shows that it is at least an earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher." Fan replied.

"Then aren't you really a crow's mouth?!" Shen Ying looked at Fan Wuxian with a surprised face and said.

Fan Wuxian had predicted at the wedding that there would be a major earthquake in Taiwan within the month, and many people treated it with an attitude of watching jokes, although there were also good people in the media who were opening the market, waiting for September to pass, if there was no major earthquake in Taiwan, they could send a few drafts to ridicule Fan Wuxi, but now it seems that they not only can't laugh at Fan Wuxi, but it is estimated that they will put a halo of a prophetic master on Fan Wuxi's head.

Fan Wuxi shrugged his shoulders and turned on his mobile phone, but it didn't take a few minutes before the phone rang at the same time.

"What's going on?" Fan Wuxian said strangely, but he still picked up the phone.

"Mr. Fan, I'm Wang Rongchang-" The phone came from Wang Rongchang, who had served as the deputy secretary general of the Straits Exchange Foundation and an important partner of Fan's Investment Group, "There is an earthquake in Taiwan!" ”

"Oh, I just found out, too. I was about to ask where you are? Fan replied.

"You talked about the earthquake at the wedding, and you mentioned it to our uncle and nephew before, so I was touched in my heart, so I didn't go back to Taipei, and now I'm in Shanghai, but Shihan went to Taipei because of something, and now the communication is interrupted, and I don't know what happened? I'm really anxious! Wang Rongchang said anxiously.

"Prince, don't worry, Taipei's problem is not estimated to be big, presumably Tainan will be much more serious." Fan Wuxian comforted, "When there is an earthquake, communication will definitely be temporarily interrupted, this is common sense, and it will be fine after a while." ”

While she was talking, Shen Ying's phone rang again, but it was the headquarters that reported the situation to Fan Wuxi, and just now, there was a second earthquake in Taiwan, with a magnitude of more than six.

"Uh-" Fan Wuxian scratched his head, and he only knew that the 921 earthquake was very powerful, and the specific process was not clear. But he didn't expect that two earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher would occur in such a short period of time.

Soon, Fan Wuxian and Shen Ying couldn't sleep, turned on the TV, connected to the satellite network of the laptop, and searched for news about the earthquake in Taiwan at the same time.

After dawn, the situation is clearer.

According to comprehensive media reports, at 1:47:12.6 a.m. on 21 September 1999, the earthquake magnitude was 7.3 poles, and the epicenter was located on the Chelangpu fault in Jiji Town, Nantou County, Taiwan, about 12.5 kilometers south-west of Sun Moon Lake, with an epicenter depth of about 7 kilometers, and the main shock lasted 100 seconds.

On the day of the earthquake, aftershocks were frequent. The most impactful one was at 2:16 a.m. less than an hour after the main earthquake, with a magnitude of 6.8, and this aftershock was the main cause of the damage to the house.

Taiwan's Taichung and Nantou counties were the hardest hit by the earthquake, and the collapse of houses was serious, and although the casualties have not yet been clarified, it is obvious that there will not be few. The earthquake also caused the suspension of all trains on the island of Taiwan, the tripping and power outage of the first and second nuclear power plants, the damage of high-voltage transmission line towers, and the power outage of the entire island of Taiwan.

The earthquake also affected parts of Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi on the mainland of the motherland, causing varying degrees of impact. Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Ningde and other cities in Fujian felt the earthquake strongly, and Guangzhou to Shantou in Guangdong, Wenzhou in Zhejiang, Nanchang and Jiujiang in Jiangxi all felt the earthquake to varying degrees.

Some experts have analyzed and pointed out that the earthquake was caused by the dislocation of the Chelangpu fault. After the earthquake, a surface rupture zone about 100 kilometers long was generated on the surface, and the dislocation between the upper and lower disks of the fault could reach a maximum of 7 or 8 meters.

Nantou residents, who lived near the epicenter at the time, recalled that shortly before the earthquake, there was a loud rumbling noise in the earth, and before they could react, the sky began to shake. Residents fled their houses in a hurry, only to see roadside buildings. Like dominoes, one building after another is pouring down, and the scene is shocking, which is really amazing.

A resident living in Taipei City said that shortly before the incident, there was a brief power outage for about half a minute, and the power was restored immediately, but then the power went out, followed by a wave of shaking up and down, and then aftershocks, and the China Broadcasting Corporation reported a fire in the Dongxing building in Taipei shortly after the earthquake.

At that time, the people in the north did not know about the disaster in the central part of the country, but they only speculated that the earthquake was not trivial.

A designer who lives in the Central District of Taichung City said that he was using the computer to play electric that night, and suddenly the lights in all the indoor rooms flashed, and the screen in front of him instantly became a state of restarting.

The whole of Taiwan has announced that it will stop going to work and classes, and about two hours after the earthquake, the military received an order to take up its position at 6 a.m., and the authorities mobilized the emergency reserve fund. 2 million yuan each for each township and village head for disaster relief.

Fan Wuxian and Shen Ying were eating breakfast while sitting in their room watching the TV news, a huge earthquake that not only destroyed countless families, but also changed the topography of the fault line.

Shigang Dam intercepts Dajia Creek, is one of the main sources of drinking water in Taichung County, with a total length of 700 meters, built 20 years ago, in this earthquake by the fault action of the northern section of the three-span floodway collapsed, the south side of the fault arched about 10 meters, the north side of about 2 meters, the water storage function is completely lost. The bottom bed of the upstream reservoir is exposed to the surface.

The earthquake also caused countless houses to collapse, some like sardines, some like building blocks, some like dominoes, and some collapsed on the streets. The Yanping gas station in Zhushan was shaken to pieces, the ground shattered, and local residents worried about their homes and the station becoming a time bomb.

Finally, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Rongchang contacted Wang Shihan, and at the same time got the news that everyone in the family was safe and sound, which was a relief from his heart, but he soon got in touch with Fan Wuxian again, "Mr. Fan, I always feel that you are the kind of god who is an unknown prophet." ”

"How do you say that—" Fan replied with some embarrassment.

"Earlier, everyone said that the price of memory chips will continue to fall, only Mr. Fan, you always insist on expanding production and reducing sales as much as possible, and now it seems that due to the serious impact on the memory chip factories on the island, it is inevitable that the price of memory chips will rise sharply, so the memory chips we have saved can be sold at a good price." Wang Rongchang said to Fan Wuxi.

The earthquake in Taiwan has had a certain impact on the global semiconductor market. The biggest impact is that it has caused the spot market price of memory chips in the world to skyrocket. In the US DRAM spot market today, a high price of $20.65 was seen in the 64 megabit standard DRAM market. This price is five times the spot price of $4 per $4 per $64 trillion of DRAM in early June this year, the highest price for DRAM in nearly two years.

In the Zhongguancun electronics market price provided by the Huafeng.com forum, the price of a 64-megabit memory module consisting of eight DRAM chips quickly rose to 500 yuan, compared with the previous lowest price of only 70 yuan.

At present, Taiwan's 26 semiconductor manufacturers are all concentrated in the Hsinchu Industrial Park in northern Taiwan, focusing on the supply of water and electricity and the supply of industrial gases required for various semiconductors. In addition, it is also convenient to deal with problems encountered in production and facilitate the exchange of professional talents. It is precisely because of the advantages of this scale effect that Taiwan's semiconductor industry has made great progress in recent years, and now ranks fourth in the world.

The earthquake in Taiwan caused three major hazards to the semiconductor industry in Hsinchu Industrial Park: power outages, dislocation of step-by-step lithography machines, and rupture of quartz tubes used in the wafer processing process.

Since the Hsinchu Industrial Park occupies an important position in Taiwan's economy, in the case of sacrificing part of the civil electricity, it was immediately repaired after the earthquake, and all its power supply was restored as a priority. Semiconductor manufacturers are also doing their best to restore power supply. On the day after the earthquake, many enterprises used their own power generation equipment, and a quarter of the power supply in Hsinchu Park was restored. Taiwan's largest semiconductor manufacturer, TSMC, had an emergency power supply, and less than 15 minutes after the earthquake, it began 24-hour continuous repairs under the auspices of senior managers. Manufacturers such as UMC, Winbond, and Macronix have installed high-capacity uninterruptible power supplies. Losses suffered by power outages can be avoided. The only one in the Hsinchu campus that was not affected by the earthquake power outage was Powerchip, which has a combined heat and power contract with Xinyu Company.

Among the semiconductor production equipment, the most sophisticated is the step-by-step lithography machine.

After the earthquake, it was mislocated and needed to be readjusted. Japan's Nikon Company, which produces lithography machines, immediately dispatched more than 60 technicians to Taipei and quickly joined the repair teams of various factories in Hsinchu. However, the amount of work was too large, and after half a month of continuous struggle, the more than 400 lithography machines in the park could not be debugged, and Nikon postponed the factory progress of the newly ordered lithography machines in the next two months.

During the earthquake, some quartz tubes in the treatment furnaces of UMC and other manufacturers ruptured. Taiwan's Yuanyi Quartz Company, which produces quartz tubes, has received special attention in power supply, and its operating rate has rapidly increased from 50 to 70 before the earthquake. With the assistance of Toshiba Corporation and Fujitsu Corporation of Japan, the damaged quartz tube is being replaced.

Because the Hsinchu Industrial Park is relatively stable in terms of geological structure and far away from the epicenter area of central Taiwan, the damage caused by the earthquake to the factories and production equipment in the park is relatively small. TSMC's plant and equipment were largely undamaged. The quartz tube of the processing furnace in some of the UMC workshops was broken.

Worst affected is Winbond Electronics, Taiwan's third-largest semiconductor manufacturer, which has leaked parts of its water and gas supply pipes, in addition to a ruptured quartz pipe.

According to the news announced by TSMC, due to the tight grasp of emergency repairs, full production capacity can be restored about a week after the earthquake, and it will not have much impact on production capacity. It is expected that by early October, UMC and other manufacturers will also resume normal production.

In short, the official announcement is that all semiconductor manufacturers can restore their full production capacity in about two weeks, and it will not have much impact on the market.

However, after the earthquake in Taiwan, the media and the industry are expected to have a greater impact on this earthquake, and driven by profits, the global semiconductor price has risen significantly, and the semiconductor manufacturers who have recovered from the impact of the earthquake are working overtime to produce at full capacity.

Wang Rongchang suggested to Fan Wuxi, "At present, the spot market has skyrocketed immediately, our inventory shipment price has increased fivefold, and the memory price in the domestic electronics market is still soaring, and it is very likely that the market price will exceed 1,000 yuan!" Are we stocking now, or are we trying our best to ship? ”

Fan Wuxian had already eaten with Shen Ying at this time, and after hearing Wang Rongchang's words, he was not too surprised, and after thinking for a while, he said, "In a month, it can return to normal, but the market impact will be delayed a lot, you can wait a little for a week or so before shipping in large quantities, the price of memory will always exceed more than 1,000 yuan, and it is likely to exceed 1,500 yuan, you can do it well." However, there is one thing I need to emphasize, half of the extra profit this time, I plan to use it to Taiwan for disaster relief, you should not disagree, right? ”

"Agreed, why not?!" Wang Rongchang immediately shouted.

There are no pop-ups
