Hotong Dahua headquarters.

Chairman Meng Haodong held a document in his hand, which detailed the manufacturing capabilities and technical level of Shanhai Microelectronics on the 14nm process.

Covers advanced process production capacity, process advantages, node size, and maturity.

There are two other documents on the desktop, one is the authoritative chip performance test report issued by HICD, and the other is the foundry service quotation for 8-inch and 12-inch silicon wafers.

8-inch 6200 US dollars, 12-inch 13780 US dollars!

The price strategy is 95% of the price of Wanji, which is very competitive, and he is well aware of the dilemma he is facing.

The damn Bay Semiconductor Company can't deliver as promised, and even Pickaxe will have to breach the contract.

The core business of Dahua District is to provide Snapdragon series of mid-to-high-end chip products for Huaguo's communication industry, PC computers, and smart wearable devices.

If a suitable OEM company can no longer be found, Meng Haodong's performance will shrink significantly, and the equity and bonuses will be reduced accordingly.

Faced with Shanhai Microelectronics' request for cooperation, he didn't think much about it, and directly agreed.

Although last year, the other party spent a lot of effort to poach many chip design engineers from the Hotong R&D Center, but so what, he is just a worker, and only by keeping the sales target in Dahua District can he bring him rich returns.

Other aspects are not in his consideration.

"Becky, help me make an appointment with Mr. Zhang from the Supply Chain Management Department and Mr. Liao from the Legal Department to come up for a short meeting."

Meng Haodong commanded at the bewitching female secretary.

"Okay, boss."

Becky nodded, turned and walked out.

……

Guanglan Electronic Port.

Shanhai Microelectronics Chip Design and R&D Center.

Chen Ha-yu was neatly dressed in an anti-static suit, closed shoes, safety glasses made of polycarbonate and nitrile rubber gloves, and used an extraction tool to pick up a chip the size of a fingernail.

Shanhai M-2!

The second work of genius chip designer Ye Youcheng uses the ARM Cortex-A54 octa-core architecture, with the highest clock frequency of each core being 2.0GHz, balancing the conflict between performance and power consumption, and is suitable for mid-range smartphones.

The built-in Adreno 608 GPU provides good graphics performance and smooth gaming experience, supporting the most popular 3D games and HD video playback.

Faster download and upload speeds are provided with 4G LTE Cat.7's network connectivity technology, in addition to VoLTE (Voice Call LTE), VoWiFi (Voice Call WiFi) and Image Signal Processor modules.

The integrated camera up to 13MP provides rich image processing functions, including PDAF phase focus, dual ISP lens support, noise reduction, and multi-frame image enhancement.

In terms of energy efficiency and battery life, it is comparable to Pickaxe's flagship product - Snapdragon 625!

"Boss, the Shanhai M-2 can only be used on the mid-range phones of Lianxiang and Rice, and there is still a huge gap between it and the Snapdragon 820, but I tried my best, I'm sorry."

Ye Youcheng said apologetically.

The boss offered him a high salary, provided him with excellent living conditions and working conditions, but he was unable to come up with cutting-edge chip products, which was really a little guilty.

"Shanhai Microelectronics has only been established for more than a year, and the R&D center has only been established for six months, and you can do this step, which is enough to make me full of surprises, and it is good to be under pressure, but don't set too high goals for yourself."

Chen Heyu said with relief.

With Shanhai M-2 and Shanhai M-1, there is the confidence to lay out the low-end mobile phone field, and Shanhai Microelectronics will not have to play the role of a chip foundry enterprise all the time in the future, and can even start small step by step, and gradually become the king of Huaguo's chip design process, so as to grab more profit margins in the industrial chain.

What's more, Shanhai M-2 uses 14nm process technology and integrates about 2 billion to 2.2 billion transistors, which mainly improve the computing and control functions of the processor.

It is equivalent to officially announcing to the outside world that Shanhai Microelectronics has become mature and complete in the large-scale production process of 14-nanometer chips.

"Boss, Mr. He asked me to inform you that Meng Haodong, director of Hotong Dahua District, and his team want to visit you."

Xiao Yao, the assistant on the side, reminded.

"yes, I see."

Chen Heyu bowed slightly, waved to Ye Youcheng, and took the lead in leaving the laboratory, and walked outside before starting to remove the protective device of the whole body.

The storage of chip R&D instruments and manufacturing equipment has strict requirements for temperature, humidity, and air particle size.

Under normal circumstances, if researchers do not wear anti-static clothing, they are prone to electrostatic charges when they rub against their surroundings.

Wearing anti-static clothing can reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge by releasing electrostatic charges to the ground by discharging electrostatic electricity while handling or touching the chip, which can cause damage to the chip's internal circuitry.

In his last life, before he was reborn, he watched a chip-themed idol drama, in which the actor wore a suit and tie, and sat in the laboratory with a big grin to "develop chips".

I didn't feel anything at the beginning, but now every time I think about it, I can't help laughing, this kind of person dares to appear in the R&D center of Shanhai Microelectronics.

On the same day, you have to pack your bags and get out of here!

Chen Heyu returned to the office, changed into a new set of business clothes, stood in front of the mirror, and adjusted the position of his tie.

If he can win a long-term OEM contract, he will not reduce the revenue of Bay Semiconductor Company again.

Of course, he is happy to see this happen!

Xiao Yao led the way in front and came to a conference room on the third floor.

Pushing open the door, a group of more than a dozen people from the business team of Hotong sat firmly on the side next to the window.

"Mr. Chen, fortunately, the purpose of my trip is very clear, to investigate the production capacity strength of Shanhai Microelectronics."

Meng Haodong stood up, said hello politely, and then went straight to the point.

In front of Chen Heyu, he didn't have the frame of a multinational group executive, let alone say bullshit like "young and promising" from the other party.

Chen Heyu has come to this day, and his wealth and status are far from being something that a professional manager like him can touch, let alone something he can offend.

"Mr. Meng, please take a seat, I have heard of Mr. Meng's name, he is an old-timer in the semiconductor industry and the communication industry, and I want to learn more from you."

Chen Heyu smiled, and his attitude was relatively gentle.

With 30 years of experience in the telecommunications industry, Meng Haodong has served as Senior Vice President and President of Motorola Mobility Greater China, and is currently the Chairman of Pickcom Greater China.

It has a wide network of contacts in the overseas communications and semiconductor industries, and has outstanding capabilities.

Chen Heyu looked at the other party carefully, he was about fifty years old, his hairstyle was a little Mediterranean, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he was dressed in old-fashioned and decent business clothes.

With the appearance of a smiling tiger, can such an old fox be controlled by himself?

"Mr. Chen's words are serious, sometimes there is more experience and low achievements, but it seems that my personal ability is mediocre, Mr. Chen holds two trump cards of Ai and semiconductors, and over time, he is destined to be the most influential big man in China."

Meng Haodong saw that Chen Heyu was not in a hurry to get to the point, so he simply praised each other familiarly.

Ji Feng and Luo Quan's words wasted more than ten minutes, and Meng Haodong understood what the other party meant, and his feelings were to dig him.

I wanted to sneer, but after thinking about it, Shanhai Microelectronics really has this strength.

In 2015, Chen Heyu made a strong stake in MVIDIA, using the power of the major shareholder to persuade Huang Xunjian to hand over the OEM order of Tesla P100 to Shanhai Microelectronics.

After the run-in in Q4, the Tesla P100 produced by Shanhai Microelectronics is better than that of Wanji's foundry products in terms of yield rate, computing power, and data transmission speed.

It has been well received by MVIDIA buyers and users!

With the same foundry price, why not choose Shanhai Microelectronics with a higher yield rate?

Then, at the beginning of 2016, Shanhai Microelectronics successively won the full range of foundry cooperation of GeForce GTX 1080, GTX 1070, Quadro P6000, P5000 and Jetson TX1, and forcibly separated MVIDIA's chip production business from the industrial structure of Gulf Semiconductor Company.

In the second shot, with the allure of Moss's second-generation Ai voice system to the mobile phone industry, Ping Confectionery and the fund management company behind it were forced to make concessions and voluntarily transfer the business of A9 chips, M9 coprocessors and LTE baseband chips to Shanhai Microelectronics.

If it weren't for the flash memory technology of 3D V-NAND and the signing of a "non-commercial" licensing agreement with Sanxing, Chen Heyu would have been able to secure all of Apple's chip production orders.

This man, who made two shots and easily cut off 25% of the sales of Wanji, in his opinion, is by no means comparable.

looks young and immature, tall and handsome, like a star more than a business tycoon!

Thinking of this, Meng Haodong's heart tightened, and he secretly raised his vigilance.

"I know that the cooperation between Wanji and Hotong, including Snapdragon 650 and Snapdragon 625, as well as Snapdragon 820 series, in fact, Shanhai Microelectronics is not lost to Wanji in the process of 28nm chips."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

The subtext in the words is very clear, if you want Shanhai Microelectronics to take over the production task of Snapdragon 820, you have to show more sincerity.

The Snapdragon 652 and Snapdragon 650, both of which are manufactured on a 28nm process, are also within his coveted range.

"No problem, I can take out part of the order and hand it over to Shanhai Microelectronics for trial production to comprehensively evaluate the performance and power consumption of the chip.

But the ugly words are in the front, if it can't reach the technological level of Bay Semiconductor Company, the cooperation can only be stopped. ”

Meng Haodong thought for a while and said.

"Wanji's equipment and packaging technology have no advantage over Shanhai Microelectronics, I know empty words, of course Mr. Meng will not believe it, I agree with your proposal, and I wish our cooperation all the best in advance."

Chen Heyu smiled lightly and finalized the premise of cooperation.

Snapdragon 650, Snapdragon 625, and Snapdragon 820 will each produce 100,000 pieces, and will continue to scale up production after passing the performance test of Pickaxe.

This small amount, excluding the time to familiarize yourself with the chip design documents and technical specifications, can be completed in a few hours.

Five days later, the two met for the second time and proceeded to sign a formal cooperation agreement.

The news was quickly spread, and Shanhai Microelectronics successfully joined hands with the semiconductor giant - Pickaxe in the field of chip foundry, following MVIDIA and Pinghua.

In one fell swoop, it won the foundry orders for Snapdragon 625, 650 and 820, becoming the fourth chip company in the world to master the mature 14nm production process, and completely gaining a firm foothold in the mid-to-high-end market.

Coupled with the previous purchase of 100 DUV lithography machines in one go, there is a lot of room for release in production capacity, and some chip design companies whose products are in short supply have begun to consider tilting part of their order resources to Shanhai Microelectronics.

The capacity vacancy of Bay Semiconductor Company this time has given them a wake-up call, and it is extremely necessary to supplement and improve supply chain management.

All the pressure on the Bay Semiconductor Company, the slightest accident will lead to a series of chain reactions.

Meanwhile.

Rice Technology announced that it will be equipped with Shanhai M-2 self-developed chip on Zimi Note 3 and Shanhai M-1 chip on low-end models.

On the other hand, Wave Com and BMD chose to include Shanhai Microelectronics in the list of foundry service providers, and tried to transfer some chip production orders.

In less than a month, Bay Semiconductor Company lost 2.78 billion US dollars in business volume, and these disappeared orders were basically swallowed by Shanhai Microelectronics.

"The difficult rise of domestic chips: mass production of 14-nanometer chips and complete breaking the monopoly!"

"The 14nm high-performance chip was officially launched, and Shanhai M-2 achieved 100% localization!"

"Challenging the chip giants, Huaguo chips began to fight back, and 14nm chips were mass-produced!"

"The predicament of Bay Semiconductor Company, Shanhai Microelectronics has been strangled several times, and the grievances and hatreds of the two major chip foundry companies in Yazhou!"

Seeing this, Chen Heyu grinned.

Official media, social media, and self-media have all come to the end, and they are all about to make Shanhai Microelectronics an important weapon of the country, and the Internet is full of cheerful atmosphere.

It's as lively as the Spring Festival!

For the Chinese, the double achievements in the field of film and chips have doubled their pride!

Although everyone does not know the process of chip manufacturing, and does not know the strength of Shanhai Microelectronics, it can only reach the mid-end market.

The high-precision chip market is still in the hands of giants such as Intel, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments.

But they understand a simple truth, Huaguo's chip industry has really begun to rise at this moment!

"I thought you, a young man, liked to talk big and make me happy.

I didn't expect to give me a big surprise so soon, and I will do it if I promise your conditions. ”

Meng Lao actually called in person and fulfilled the promise.

"Thank you Meng Lao, engaging in an airline is by no means a whim, just wait and see."

Chen Heyu sold a pass.

Getting this expensive admission ticket, he can do more things, wireless energy transmission, new energy vehicle battery life, power resources regional differences and other problems, he can pick one to solve, can create hundreds of billions of Chinese dollars, or even trillions of blue ocean market.

New industries, new opportunities, new jobs!

"This is just the beginning!"

Chen Heyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at the rows of high-rise buildings in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a sense of ambition.

This time and space will change because of him!
