Cold Country.

Sanxin headquarters.

"How is this possible?"

After receiving the news, Li Jianrong, president of Sanxin, widened his eyes, thinking that he had auditory hallucinations.

In eight months, 7nm was conquered?

10nm in the middle of the country, directly advancing from 14nm to 7nm......

"Is this a myth?"

Li Jianrong's face was full of disbelief.

He shook his head violently: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" ”

"They advanced to 12 or 10nm at most, but announced that it was 7nm, they were engaged in false propaganda, and the actual performance was not as good as Sanxin's 12nm!"

When Sanxin entered the chip foundry industry, it often announced that it had taken the lead in conquering 12nm and 10nm, but the performance of the chips produced by the foundry was even inferior to those 16nm and 14nm chips, which was called a "fake process".

Even so, this routine still had a good effect and brought a large number of orders to Sanxin.

However, when no one will go to the second time, after the CPU process is advanced to 7nm, AMD, Fruit, Huayao and other companies have almost all chosen the 7nm foundry of TSMC, and Sanxin's 7nm process is generally believed to have not reached this level in the industry, and it is actually only 9nm and 8nm.

It wasn't until the past two years that Sanxin completely ate 7nm.

TSMC is about to mass produce 5nm.

Therefore, if Zhongxin International catches up, the chip foundry pattern will change dramatically, forming a new situation in which TSMC ranks first, Sanxin and Zhongxin International are tied for second.

But Sanxin can't accept this situation, and it is impossible to accept it!

"Fake, it must be fake! They're liars! ”

can see the picture of the engineering machine with a running score of up to 450,000 yuan, and Li Jianrong's heart was clouded.

I secretly said in my heart: "Even if you conquer 7nm, what if the yield rate is less than 20%, what can you compete with Sanxin?" Our yield rate is four times higher than yours. ”

But the yield can be continuously improved...... As long as you have enough R&D funds.

Once the yield rate of Zhongxin International has increased to a considerable extent, and the relatively low labor cost of country Z, it will ...... two years later

Thinking of this, Li Jianrong was excited, and immediately said to the assistant: "Quick, release the news, starting today, reduce the fee standard of chip foundry, reduce it by 10%!" We must not let the people of Z country snatch away our OEM orders! ”

"Yes, President!"

The assistant left the office.

Li Jianrong suddenly felt a headache.

Memory, which can bring more than 60 billion dollars in revenue every year, has been cut in half.

The price of NAND storage has been reduced many times in a year, and the price per GB of storage is less than 0.1 dollars, which is unprofitable.

The screen panel is fighting a price war with country Z, and it began to lose money last year.

Even the chip foundry Z people have made a breakthrough.

Attack on all fronts.

This word popped into his head.

Under this offensive, the Sanxin Empire in his hands, although it is still strong, its foundation has been shaken.

And with the government of country Z behind it, even in the memory, Sanxin sacrificed the fourth counter-cyclical law, and it is impossible for the purple memory to fall, even if the market share is 0...... The government of country Z will not let this company fall.

Not to mention, a variety of products of Xinghai Technology, mobile phones equipped with Nebula systems, are enough to support companies such as Unisplendour Memory, Dajiang Storage, and Zhongxin International.

So......

A few days ago, Li Jianrong, who was full of confidence and was sure to "slay the dragon", felt extremely gloomy at this moment.

I had to clench my fists and shout: "Ah! Ha! ”

In this way, I vented my inner irritability.

……

Island.

A private villa.

After hearing the news of Liu Deming's report.

The eyes of Zhang Zhongmou, the founder of TSMC, also widened.

"They really did, in such a short period of time."

The old man's face was full of incredulity.

"Old man, I don't think it's likely to be 7nm."

Liu Deming shook his head and said, "Up to 10nm, 9nm...... It took us five years to win 7nm, and their technology accumulation is much weaker, how can it take less time than us? ”

"Process fraud! It must be the routine of Sanxin Company that he learned, so as to raise the stock. ”

"Even so, it's quite an achievement."

The old man shook his head and looked up in the direction of the mainland: "We should be happy for what they have achieved. ”

"But we have one more competitor."

Liu Deming frowned: "A Sanxin who is crazy about pressing prices and grabbing orders is already a headache, and there is another Zhongxin...... How do we deal with it, old man? ”

"If you are not in his position, I don't care about the company, how to deal with it, you decide, it has nothing to do with me."

The old man suddenly sighed: "It's not easy, we always stick to ourselves for a little achievement, always look down on them here, look down on them there, feel that they will always lag behind, it is impossible to catch up with us." ”

"But don't look at what kind of R&D environment we have, and what kind of research environment they have."

"We don't know what precision equipment we can't make, buy M, buy Japan, buy Europe, there is no limit, we rely on the advanced and powerful industrial system of Europe and Japan behind us, not on such a small island."

"What about them? They can only start from scratch and rely on themselves in all aspects! In terms of core technology, the blockade of the mainland by Europe and M has not been relaxed for decades, and the blockade of any country by Europe and M cannot reach the level of targeting the mainland...... They don't even want to sell a high-end screw to the mainland. ”

"But even in this situation, they have achieved admirable results."

"Anyone can laugh at the backwardness of the mainland, but we have no qualifications to laugh at it!"

"Although we are the world's first, there are a hundred world's firsts in the continent!"

"Even they are slowly catching up with the chip foundry, if some people on our island still have an arrogant attitude and despise the other side, I estimate that at most ten years, our last place of pride will be surpassed by them...... It was a sad thing, even though I was dead by then. ”

"This island has completely fallen."

The 91-year-old said.

Hear this.

Liu Deming shook his head suddenly.

"No, it won't! The old man won't! ”

"They won't surpass ours, and if they give another ten or twenty years, they won't be able to exceed!"

"We are the first, and we will always be the pride of Treasure Island!"

Won't exceed?

The old man laughed at himself: "The chip process is advanced to 5nm, and the transistor leakage caused by the quantum effect has taken countless methods to barely overcome it, but if we want to advance to 3nm, we may not be able to succeed in ten years. ”

"At the speed of the mainland catching up, it will ...... ten years later"

The old man shook his head.

Liu Deming's heart sank.

……

Leave the villa.

On the way back, Liu Deming made a decision: to persuade the board of directors to reduce the chip foundry cost of TSMC by 15%!

He clenched his fists and said: "Zhongxin International, you can't make a big deal, the first is always us!" ”
