Chapter 171 Funding Lithography Machines

It's not a big deal to make a smartphone. Even the current GeneralMagic, what they came up with is just a set of intelligent systems.

In 1994, everything was still in its infancy. However, on this intelligent system, two far-reaching systems have evolved, iPhone and Android.

In 20 years, a manufacturer can make smartphones, and various assembly solutions can list dozens of them for you.

But in this era, not to mention smartphones, it is already good to be able to build a 2G mobile phone.

Chu Qing said that, cooperating with Huawei is actually to prepare for building smartphones. But you have to eat the rice one bite at a time.

To build a mobile phone, even if it is a 2G mobile phone, there is still a lot of room for improvement. A PHS production workshop alone is not enough.

"In addition to the battery, the screen, the chip, the memory, these all require technical support." Du Jiangming and Chen Mingyong appeared in Chu Qing's office together.

Since the emergence of PHS, the R&D department has begun to transform to GSM mobile phones. It's only been more than half a year of research and development, and not much progress has been made.

Dozens of prototypes were dismantled in the laboratory alone. From Nokia's 1011 to the latest 2110.

It's just that Du Jiangming is puzzled that he doesn't know if the boss has a soft spot for Nokia, except for a Motorola, the prototype is basically Nokia's.

When it comes to mobile phones, isn't it Motorola's stronger technology? Why do you have to smash Nokia? What is there to study in such a company that is going to die or live.

"In terms of technology, I will fully support you, your main direction now is the screen, and the chip project will be taken over by Huawei's chip design department. Memory will cooperate with Toshiba for the time being. ”

"I don't ask you to come up with a finished product immediately, but I only have one request, the core technology in the future must be in our own hands, including the mobile phone system." After reaching a cooperation with Huawei, Chu Qing suddenly had confidence in his heart.

Although the current Huawei is not necessarily much higher than BBK's technology. Maybe some R&D capabilities are not necessarily strong.

Especially in the past two years, Chu Qing has been strengthening the R&D department and has also set up a research laboratory in North America. Maybe this is the heart of the traverser, after all, the later Huawei has proven him.

Chu Qing cooperating with him will make him feel a lot more at ease. However, this incident also made Chu Qing re-understand this era.

He can't always look at this era through the eyes of posterity. We are lagging behind in many ways, but the gap is not as bad as we think.

Just like lithography machines, wafer chips, packaging design, as long as there is a chance to continue to develop, it will not even take long to catch up.

The chances are much better now than they are 20 years from now. The only thing we have left behind now is the most funding and application channels in 20 years.

It was this incident that made Chu Qing understand that he seemed to be able to give them what they didn't have.

Everyone lacks funds, but backgammon is not. Not to mention the two cash cows of learning machines and record companies.

VCD and DVD, in the near future, will also be able to support the demand for foreign exchange at the beginning of the step. The prerequisite is to get the standard of DVD.

As for the application channels, Chu Qing has more in his hands. From learning machines to mp3, all of BBK's products can be converted to domestic ones.

It seems to be a drop in the bucket, but now domestic chips need this kind of support for action.

The success rate may be poor at first, but as long as the measurement is up, the quality will gradually improve.

As long as domestic electronics companies give them opportunities, Chu Qing believes that with the domestic manufacturing learning ability, it will not be long before they can catch up with Lianhua.

After confirming the plan, Duan Yongping, who had not yet returned, turned around and entered the capital directly. Xu Yiyi, in 1991, when the latest generation of projection lithography machine developed by him and his team was unveiled for the first time at the Beijing Industrial Technology Achievement Exhibition.

He would not have imagined that in three years, he and the team would be in danger of disbanding. He thought it would be a bright future, but they were greeted by endless darkness.

Historically, when he was exposed to lithography again was 16 years later, aiming for a fifth-generation lithography mission.

However, at the stall where Xu Yiyi ran into walls everywhere and couldn't borrow a penny. Duan Yongping came to the door.

"You're going to invest in us?" Duan Yongping's appearance made Xu Yiyi feel a little dizzy. The whole country is buying external equipment, and after the funding is stopped, they are self-financed, and they have come to the brink of bankruptcy.

He and his team had used all means to get a loan, but suddenly a company came out and said they wanted to invest in them.

This is even more incredible than pie in the sky.

"Yes, we at BBK want to invest in lithography technology." Duan Yongping's answer was affirmative.

"Although I don't know why you are doing this, I still want to remind you that this is not a small amount of money, and we need at least 50 million if we want to catch up with the international level. If this number is missing, you might as well not invest. Although it was already difficult, Xu Xianyi was still ready to make things clear.

If there is no impact of foreign lithography machines, according to the orders they won before. It is fully capable of supporting them to continue to engage in research and development.

"50 million is a lot, but we'd like to give it a try." Before he came, Chu Qing told him that backgammon was investing in the future.

As long as you have your own production machine, backgammon can completely get rid of the limitations. These few sanctions against backgammon from the outside world also made Duan Yongping see a lot clearly.

He is very supportive of Chu Qing's approach. Only if you have it in your own hands can you not ask for help. Liu Xin, who was with him, pressed the shutter to record this scene.

The longer she stayed at Computer Weekly, the more she learned with Backgammon. Liu Xin's original yearning for foreign countries became more and more intense.

She yearns for life abroad because all she has been exposed to before is touting foreign countries. The times of suffering have made her unable to see any hope for the future.

You can really see and understand the deeper foreign countries. The yearning in Liu Xin's heart naturally disappeared.

On the contrary, through continuous reporting and research, Liu Xin gradually understood his land. It made her angry and there was a kind of hope in her heart.

Thinking of the future that Chu Qing had once depicted to them. If this development continues, it may not be long before they can catch up with foreign countries.

Looking at backgammon and people in the industry, they are catching up. This new hope made her awe-inspiring.

Especially Xu Yiyi, they can rely on their own skills to live comfortably.

But for the sake of that illusory goal, they gave up everything. Perhaps it is because of their persistence that there is a hopeful future.
