Chapter 446: Rebus's Ambition (+21/190)
After getting off the plane at Kyoto International Airport, the flight attendant team helped unload the car, and Lu An drove the car directly to the Xiaomi headquarters.
............
Xiaomi headquarters.
Some departments are more different, and almost all people work overtime throughout the year due to various situations, so they are not empty on weekends.
Rebus would be sitting in his office, thinking about a lot of things.
Because of the delay of ASML's technical support team, he had to make some preparations or trade-offs.
After talking to Lu An on the phone yesterday afternoon, he didn't urge again.
At his level, he has long understood that some things do not have a perfect solution as soon as they are encountered, he just thinks that a person as good as Lu An may have a way.
Even now, Lu An didn't give any answer, he didn't think much about it, and even this would not be as anxious as yesterday.
As the CEO of Xiaomi, he can control his emotions very well.
If Lu An knew, he would like to say: I'm so good, how come I didn't force the numbers at all.
The swelling blow was thrown straight over.
"Mr. Lei, it's time for lunch. ”
The assistant knocked on the door of Rebus's office and said in a low tone.
As Rebus's personal assistant, he sometimes has some life secretary duties, referred to as errands.
Rebus said without looking up.
"Help me get a meal in the cafeteria, I'll eat in the office, it's lighter. ”
The assistant left in response, not forgetting to gently close the door.
Rebus's work habits, he knows best, sometimes he needs to be quiet, sometimes he needs a little sound, and he needs to be quiet at the moment.
Rebus 'sits at his desk' and needs absolute silence in his private space.
But God doesn't seem to want him to be clear-hearted,Xiaomi Mi6 in the corner of the desk rang,The ringtone is Xiaomi's own classic music,No matter how you listen to it, you have the taste of not being in a hurry。
Rebus reluctantly threw away the pen in his hand and took the phone to connect.
A very young voice came from the earpiece, and the tone of his tone was a mixture of chuckles and calmness that belonged to someone.
"Lao Lei, is it convenient, I'll have a meal. ”
The calm on Rebus's face was slowly dispelled and filled with a smile.
"As long as it is Mr. Lu, there is time at any time, how about the millet canteen, cheap, affordable, light and healthy. ”
Lu An sighed and said, "I came over from thousands of mountains and rivers, so I was invited to eat in the canteen, wow, is Mr. Lei so excessive now!"
"Okay, who let this be Mr. Lei's territory, I'll pick the place, how about your office?"
Rebus said with a smile.
"Gladly to be greeted by a sweeper. ”
As soon as the phone hung up, Rebus dialed the assistant and asked him to bring an extra meal.
............
Six minutes later, Lu An appeared outside the door of Rebus's office with light steps.
Sure enough, Rebus had already opened the closed office door and stood not far behind the door with a smile on his face.
Lu An laughed, "This superficial kung fu is still done by your boss!"
The fluttering heart shook it off with a blow.
Rebus was dressed very casually today, with short sleeves and jeans with lapels, and after hearing Lu An's words, he said, "That's not good." ”
Lu An's dress today is also very casual, I don't know whether Lin Yu or Chen Yifa or Di Lieba or the high-end Bleoni casual clothes they bought together.
Very appropriate.
Lu An sat down on the sofa by himself, he had been to this office many times, and he was familiar with the road.
Rebus took out tea leaves, teapots, tea trays and other tools from the tea cabinet and put them on the reception table, looking at the style, he was ready to make tea.
Sure enough, Rebus poured water in an orderly manner, boiled the kettle, scalded the cup, the movements of his hands were not slow at all, and his mouth was not idle, and he spoke.
"Mr. Lu has worked hard all the way, just got off the plane?"
Lu An nodded, didn't say anything, everyone else was here, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.
At this time, Rebus's assistant walked in with two meals, politely called Mr. Lu, put the cloth dishes, and cooked them easily.
He didn't know anything about Lu An's sudden appearance, but he couldn't be clearer about Mr. Lu's right to speak in Xiaomi.
............
"Come, Mr. Lu will taste the level of the chef of our millet canteen. ”
This is nothing polite, it will be 1:30 in the afternoon, if it weren't for Lu An's fast and steady driving, he wouldn't be able to catch up with this point.
As for why Lu An is so sure that Rebus is at the Xiaomi headquarters, of course, it is based on Lu An's cognition of Rebus himself, based on this, that, and that.
Based on, luck!
Based on, intuition!
......
After a simple lunch, the tea that happened to be brewed was just at the right temperature.
The assistant came in to clean up the mess, and opened the window by the way to disperse the smell.
Lu An held this Rebus teacup in both hands, which may have been brought back from the auction, and drank two sips of tea to remove the taste of the food in his mouth, without the floating of tea leaves, and the pleasure of blowing.
"Lao Lei, I don't know much about the process of lithography production tape-out, but if I think about the idea of ASML and the oligarchs behind it, I'm afraid that there is a little bit of the meaning that the two production lines you bought back will become scrap metal. ”
Rebus nodded and sighed, "That's what I'm worried about, and now that I look at it, all the timing is too coincidental."
When ASML talked about cooperation, I had this feeling, and I realized at that time that there would be no problem with the production line itself, and what I was afraid of was their small actions......"
Lu An snorted, "These gringos really have a lot of hearts. ”
Rebus took a sip of tea and said.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Lu, the chip department now has a complete semiconductor production line from 28nm to 16nm, although the production capacity is low;
However, I also know the time it takes for the whole production line to be installed and debugged to use, and according to the current style of this five-person technical team, I am afraid that the first technical support will not be completed!"
It only takes about a week for a complete semiconductor production line to be installed and commissioned to use.
But now the nausea is disgusting here, 7 days a week, but the legal working day is only 5 days.
ASML and the gang have been delayed for two days, and if they are passive and slacken, the first two weeks of technical support will be wasted.
Find some excuses for all kinds of messes, and the daylilies are cold.
Rebus finally understood what ASML had said during the negotiation, 'All technical service engineers are the best!'
Because, the best, the most sought-after, therefore, the time is also the tightest!
It's completely special, there's nothing wrong with this pit, what else can he Rebus say, he jumped all the time.
............
Lu An glanced at Rebus and asked tentatively.
"Lao Lei, have you ever thought that TSMC and other foundries will be invited to produce all the chips this time? Because, optimistically, it is estimated that the total production capacity of a 7nm, a 10nm and a piece per month is less than 300,000 pieces!"
According to optimistic estimates, a complete 7nm semiconductor production line can produce up to 13 to 150,000 pieces per month, and 10nm is the same.
Therefore, adding one piece does not reach 300,000 tablets.
Of course, companies such as TSMC, Qualcomm, Samsung, SK hynix, etc., have more than one production line in each wafer factory, and the monthly production capacity is still considerable.
Rebus groaned for a moment.
"It's not a secret, in fact, the sudden decline of Xiaomi's 3rd and 4th generations is not only due to external factors such as Qualcomm chips, but also due to Xiaomi's own reasons.
Because, in Xiaomi's secret laboratory, I spent more than 20 billion US dollars, and I took the chip department as the most to build a complete underground 12-inch wafer factory, with a 7/10nm workshop!
After the emergence of the surging S1, the chip laboratory began the research and development of the surging S2, and even successfully taped out on the production line of the 16nm process......"
After a pause, Rebus accentuated his tone slightly.
"I just want to think that Xiaomi can really realize the hardware is not licensed, there are many precedents that show that if chip design and production are separated, there will be many problems, such as AMD to GF, TSMC's 40/28nm early process standards. ”

The fourth update, wow, is more than 10,000 words.
Originally, I was preparing for the eighth watch today, but I didn't get busy with some things.
