Chapter 168: An Invitation from the Summer Academy (Part 2)
Hantangke Semiconductor is absolutely unavailable, not to mention the 45nm process process, even if it is 65nm or even 90nm, they can't buy it!
They can only buy a 150nm or 230nm chip production line at most!
After all, don't forget that there is still the Wassena Protocol in this world! ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Chen Damou's mouth hooked up with mockery getting bigger and bigger.
In his eyes, Lin Xuan's more than 11 billion yuan is destined to be a waste!
"Kacha Ka Cha Ka ......"
The reporters' ridicule of Chen Damou naturally flashed back with enthusiastic cameras, and the reporters at this time looked excited, and it seemed that there were news headlines again.
……
That evening, Chen Damou, the owner of TSMC, the world's largest chip foundry, made headlines in newspapers and Internet media across the country with his speech.
Naturally, these news media reports caused a stir, and Chen Damou pointed out that the problem also caused many people to worry.
Yes, there is no way to purchase the most advanced chip equipment and technology.
At the beginning, in order to purchase lithography machines and other equipment for 120nm process technology, Zhongxin International promised many conditions.
For example, Zhongxin International must not produce military-backed chips, and Daxia cannot have too many shares.
At the beginning, in order for Zhongxin International to really land, it can be said that many interests were ceded, so Zhongxin International's Daxia Consulting Capital equity was only 18%.
It can be said that in order to introduce advanced 8-inch wafers and 130-nanometer chip production lines, a bunch of conditions were agreed to at the beginning.
After agreeing to so many conditions and going through such difficult negotiations, the Wassen sodium agreement was finally reluctantly loosened, allowing the eight-inch wafer and 130nm process technology to settle in Daxia Modu.
At this time, can Lin Xuan purchase all kinds of advanced equipment in the world?
Under people's curiosity, the reporters rushed to Wuxi again, which is the headquarters of Hantang Semiconductor Company!
In this way, as the reporters gathered more and more, soon in less than a day, the reporters had reached thousands of people, and it looked dense!
In this case, with their calls, Lin Xuan could only recover from his busy state.
"Mr. Lin, have you solved the problem of the source of the equipment for the production of chips?"
"Mr. Lin, can the 11 billion yuan really improve the 45nm process technology?"
"Mr. Lin, what do you think of the words of Mr. Chen Damou, president of TSMC?"
"Mr. Lin Xuan, when are you going to develop a chip with a 45nm process technology?"
In the dense crowd of reporters, each reporter issued their question, making the place seem noisy.
It's like a vegetable market, which makes people upset, and naturally makes Lin Xuan frown.
"One by one."
Taking over the microphone of the mobile speaker, Lin Xuan looked at the reporter in front of him and said.
For this reason, those reporters naturally came down honestly and quietly, so Lin Xuan pointed casually and asked the reporter to ask.
"Mr. Lin, can you purchase chip production equipment that can produce 45nm process technology?"
Hearing the man's words, all the reporters at the scene showed curious eyes.
To be honest, this was the issue they were most concerned about, after all, as Chen Damou pointed out Lin Xuan's sore feet.
Many people are very concerned about whether Lin Xuan can solve the problem of the source of 45nm chip equipment, after all, without equipment, how can Lin Xuan make the 45nm process process land.
"There is no need to think about the equipment of the 45nm process process, and we are currently actively purchasing some equipment for the 150nm process process."
"Wait, 150nm process equipment?!"
The reporters at the scene all showed surprised expressions, didn't Lin Xuan want to develop a 45nm process technology?
How can it be the procurement of 150nm process equipment?
"Because of the Wassen-sodium agreement, we really can't procure the world's most advanced process equipment.
For example, lithography machines, etching machines, as well as vacuum coating machines, ion implanters, etc......
However, some of them are not core machines, in fact, a little improvement can be applied to the 45nm process process.
So we purchased some equipment in advance that can be modified for use. ”
"I see!"
Many reporters nodded their heads in understanding, but soon some reporters noticed the key points revealed in Lin Xuan's words.
So the reporter raised the microphone excitedly and asked Lin Xuan curiously:
"Wait, Mr. Lin Xuan, that means you can't procure the equipment to produce the 45nm process, do you?
Even if you have 11 billion funds, you can't buy it, can you? ”
The reporter's words instantly fell silent at the scene, and then all the reporters looked at Lin Xuan curiously.
Their cameras were also pointed at Lin Xuan, wanting to see what Lin Xuan had to say.
In this regard, Lin Xuan sighed deeply and gave an affirmative answer:
"That's right, the core lithography machine, etching machine, vacuum coating machine, ion implanter, and other packaging and testing equipment that are the core of the production of chips, etc., we can't purchase them!
That's why I said to spend 11 billion on the 45nm process!
And every month after that, I will continue to take money from Hantang Technology to smash into this field.
In the end, it took a few months to build a device that can produce 45-nanometer chips and create 45-nanometer chips! ”
"Kacha Cha Ka ......"
After getting a definite answer from Lin Xuan, countless cameras began to flicker, and many reporters had a hint of loss in their eyes.
Although they were a little happy to get a big news, they heard from Lin Xuan that they could not procure the world's most advanced equipment.
And because of the popular science of many professors and media, I have learned a lot of information, and I know how difficult it is to lithography machines, etching machines, vacuum coating machines, ion implanters, etc.
guessed that Lin Xuan may not be able to make the 45nm process technology land, and Lin Xuan may not be able to break the foreign blockade in the future, they are still a little depressed with a little patriotism.
In this regard, sensing the emotions of the reporters and guessing their moods, Lin Xuan was also concerned.
However, Lin Xuan was not a person who admitted defeat, I saw him show a hearty smile, and then said with a smile.
"Please rest assured, including those who are worried about our Hantang Technology and Hantang Semiconductor.
Romance
I will definitely let it land on the 45nm process technology, even if it is bankrupt, I will let it land!
If you lose, it's just a pair of shorts! ”
Lin Xuan, who said this, showed a hearty smile, although it is a little difficult to overcome a series of equipment for 45-nanometer chips, but the living cannot be suffocated by urine!
He can't solve it with a copycat system, so who else can?!
So ask who can make this era of Daxia enter the era of 45nm process technology in advance.
Let Daxia's chip production field reach the world-class level, except for him, no one can do it.
Therefore, Lin Xuan is duty-bound!
Since he decided to do it, he would do the best, so Lin Xuan set his goal at 45 nanometers, instead of the 65 nanometers and 90 nanometers that are currently used in mainstream applications!
"Kacha Cha Ka ......"
With Lin Xuan's hearty smile, the reporters silently pressed the button of the camera, and their hearts were deeply moved.
Lin Xuan, this guy actually said, "Even if you lose all of it, only one torn pants will be left", you will have to develop a 45nm process technology.
This kind of determination, this kind of patriotic feelings to contribute to the country deeply moved them!
The next thing is naturally the reporter's other questions, and Lin Xuan can answer them one by one. Soon that was the end of the press conference.
Journalists also flew back to their addresses or companies to report back to the news they had covered.
……
On January 12, 2004, when Hantang Technology officially acquired Phoenix Company with 100 million cash yesterday and renamed Phoenix Company as Hantang Optics.
Lin Xuan's Hantang S1 mobile phone rang suddenly, and it turned out that Secretary He had called him.
"Hello."
Lin Xuan, the secretary of He, had a good impression, so Lin Xuan also said hello with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, congratulations on your acquisition of Phoenix Company, and from now on you will have an optical camera company under your control, congratulations."
"Thank you!"
Lin Xuan thanked him softly, he is in charge of an optical company, which will be of great help to Hantang Technology in the next research and development of lithography machines.
Because there is a core component in the lithography machine, this part is several lenses of the lithography machine!
The requirements for this lens are very high and very precise, and this lens is simply not something that a machine can make.
The machine can only complete the delicate glass embryo, and in the end, it is the manual work of the workers that can make the machine.
It would be surprising to say that machines can't make it, but it can make ultra-precise things by hand, but it's true!
There are indeed some people in this world who are beyond the ordinary, and this kind of person is called an eighth-level worker or a ninth-level worker!
This kind of factory with ordinary talents is absolutely not found, they are either in some numbered military factories, or in some decades old state-owned enterprises.
The Phoenix company that Lin Xuan started, as a leading state-owned enterprise in the domestic camera industry, naturally has several eighth-level workers.
And they are all the kind of eighth-level workers who specialize in polishing optical lenses, that is, glass lenses!
So even though the company is very weak now, a lot of their equipment is already old.
But for these eighth-level workers who specialize in lens polishing, Lin Xuan is still willing to spend more than 100 million to acquire this Phoenix Technology Company and this old camera optical company!
"Mr. Lin, I actually want to find you for something this time."
Secretary He on the other side obviously knew that Lin Xuan was a busy man, and he didn't say anything polite to Lin Xuan at this time, and directly stated his purpose.
"Speak, please."
Lin Xuan replied with a smile.
"Come here tomorrow, there is something I need you to come to the scene."
"What's the matter?"
Lin Xuan, who asked Secretary He, showed a curious look, why did the other party suddenly ask him to go to Xia Keyuan?
Could it be that Secretary He wants to connect him and let him cooperate with Xia Keyuan?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan also felt a burst of surprise.
