Chapter 321 8.28 billion US dollar OEM order, 23,800 US dollar quotation!
βShitοΌ Could it be that in the next 2-3 years, in the field of 10nm chips, we still have to look at the face of a Huaguo semiconductor company? β
Intel CEO Grove said angrily.
"I don't want to admit it, but it's true."
The technical president of the R&D center, Ralph, spread his hands and said that there was nothing he could do.
As the world's largest IDM model manufacturer, Intel Group has independent design and production capabilities, and has a number of chip factories.
Regarding the FinFET transistor structure and extreme ultraviolet lithography technology, they have mastered the relevant processes in the R&D stage, but in actual production, due to various complex and changeable factors, the yield rate is extremely low, even less than 50%.
This is also the main reason why they have not announced it to the outside world for a long time, there are too many defective products, resulting in the cost of the 10-nanometer chips produced doubled, which is not competitive.
There are no fools at all, they will pay for this, it is better to continue to sell 14nm chip products, and the profits will be high.
"We now have only two options, ask Shanhai Microelectronics to OEM Cannon Lake chips to cope with market changes in the second half of the year; Or sacrifice the profit margin of the group, with a yield rate of 48%, to meet Shanhai Microelectronics.
No, in other words, AMD and IDM will also become our competitors, and 10nm is a process area that we can't reach for the time being. β
Ralph said earnestly.
"Let the business person in charge of Dahua contact the other party, and we can hand over the order of Cannon Lake to Shanhai Microelectronics."
Grove muffled.
It will take at least two years for Intel to raise the yield rate of 10nm chips, and if it fails to launch new products, it will inevitably affect the overall development of the company.
At the same time, a large number of neon, beautiful, and Korean semiconductor companies chose to send business teams to Shanghai to start business negotiations.
The first person to arrive was Tim, CEO of Apple, and whether the A11 Bionic chip can be mass-produced ahead of schedule is of great significance.
After all, the gap between 14nm and 10nm is still very large, and the density of transistors in the same area, 10nm is twice as large as 14nm.
With a 25% increase in performance and a 45% reduction in power consumption, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus will be the proudest products of his career for Tim, if all goes well.
β¦β¦
Shanhai Microelectronics Headquarters.
In the huge and bright conference room, Chen Heyu was on one side, He Tingbo and Wang Maosong sat next to him, and on the opposite side was Pinghua's delegation.
"Chen, meet again, you are like a treasure, you can always surprise me."
Tim said eagerly.
βCome to the pointοΌ In Chinese, it means to get straight to the point, let's talk about cooperation first. β
Chen Heyu said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, if you don't mind, I want to ask a key question, what is the yield rate of the 10nm process?"
The president of Dahua District said in a loud voice.
"Between 72%-75%."
Chen Hayu replied frankly.
Tim and Lu Lei looked at each other, this value is really beyond their imagination, according to the information collected by the company, Intel is only less than 50% of the level.
Sanxing and Wanji are still spinning in front of the gate, trying to improve the production process, and they don't even have manufacturing capacity.
"What's the price?"
Lu Lei asked.
There is a three-year cooperation agreement between Shanhai Microelectronics and Pinghua, and the exploration of the process level is secondary, and the core is the OEM price.
"23,800 US dollars per wafer, of course, the size refers to 12 inches."
Chen Heyu said lightly.
"Chen, does the price include defective products?"
Tim said with a frown.
"What do you mean? Shanhai Microelectronics's quotation has always included defective products, you ask this, let me doubt it, the sincerity of Pinghua's cooperation? β
Chen Heyu leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and said in a slightly unhappy tone.
Scrapped or substandard chips are naturally paid for by Pinghua!
"Chen, please understand, before it was only 5% of the loss, Apple Confectionery was still acceptable, but now it is 25% of the attrition rate, which is a five-fold increase, it is impossible for Apple Confectionery to bear this cost for nothing, right?"
Tim shrugged his shoulders and said innocently.
"For 28nm and 16nm chips, our yield rate is 4.3-5.7% higher than that of Wanji, did we raise the price at that time?"
Chen Heyu asked in a cold voice.
Ping Jing wants Shanhai Microelectronics to bear the rate of bad products, which is a fool's dream, and he will not sign any humiliating agreements.
If you give up 25% of the price, the foundry price of 10nm chips is only less than 18,000 US dollars, which is not much different from the quotation of 14nm.
"Mr. Chen, you have to consider the actual situation, the yield rate is too low, and we need to explain to the board of directors."
Lu Lei persuaded.
"Then who will give me an account? Ping Jing wants to wait, just wait another year, anyway, in the second half of the year, Rice Technology will launch a flagship mobile phone equipped with Shanhai M-4. β
Chen Heyu waved his hand, indifferent.
"Mr. He, send off guests for me, and I will also receive representatives of Sanxing."
He Shi Shiran got up, didn't give Tim and Lu Lei any face, and turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.
"Mr. He, what is the Shanhai M-4 on Boss Chen's mouth?"
Lu Lei asked nervously.
"Oh, that's a mobile phone processor independently developed by the company, using a 10-nanometer chip process, which is benchmarked against the Snapdragon 825 that will be launched soon."
He Tingbo said unhurriedly.
Tim heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, no wonder the other party has no fear, as Huaguo's IDM chip leader, there is also a rice technology under his command, Shanhai M-4 can be directly applied to Huaguo's flagship smart phone.
When the time comes, how will Apple Confectionery handle itself in overseas markets?
What's more, there is also Sanxing's disturbance, which is really hateful!
"Boss, I suggest agreeing to the other party's request, losing part of the profit in a short period of time, but keeping the global occupancy of the brand."
Lu Lei pondered for a moment and said in a low voice.
"OK, let me think about it, this offer is really high."
Tim rubbed his temples and sighed, unable to choose.
The other side.
Chen Heyu walked out of the room and returned to the office, and after a while, He Tingbo rushed over.
"They're gone?"
He smiled, as if he didn't care.
"Yes, boss, but from what I've observed, there's a good chance that the other party will agree to this offer."
He Tingbo said with a smile, showing a smile of victory.
Joining Shanhai Microelectronics is the most correct decision she has made in her life, if she has been staying in the small Jiangdian Technology, people are floating and it is destined to be difficult to achieve major achievements.
Like now, it is in an absolute leading position in China, and the cooperation with Sanxing, Pinghua, Hotong, and Nvidia can also occupy the initiative.
In other words, you have the confidence to speak, unlike before, you are controlled by others everywhere, and you have to keep your voice down when you buy a device.
"It doesn't matter! Even if they don't agree, there are still rice and Sanxing, I don't believe that Tim will watch his market share being snatched away little by little! β
Chen Heyu said confidently.
"What time is the afternoon meeting scheduled?"
He asked, then.
"Two o'clock, in the conference room on the third floor."
He Tingbo replied.
"Okay, I know, in the past two days, all the business of non-mobile phone brands will be handed over to you and Wang Maosong."
Chen Heyu commanded.
"Yes, boss, don't worry, I can handle it."
He Tingbo said without thinking.
"23,800 US dollars is my bottom line, and I am not allowed to give up a dime!"
Chen Heyu paused.
Subsequently.
He took a car to the Shanhai Literature Headquarters and happened to make an appointment with his old friend Nine-Tailed Fox for lunch by the way.
"Mr. Chen!"
Tao Cheng was wearing a short T shorts, standing under the building, and when he saw Chen Heyu's car coming, he immediately opened the car door for him.
"Editor, so polite? Usually on TT, the tone of the reminder is very dragged. β
Chen Heyu beckoned and motioned for him to get in the car, not forgetting to tease.
"Hehe, on the Internet we are the relationship between the editor and the author, here, we are the relationship between the boss and the employee."
Tao Cheng played tricks.
"Don't be verbose, after eating, I have to go back to sleep."
Chen Heyu yawned, he had been overtutoring recently, and he was "in meetings" all night long, and his titanium alloy waist was a little unbearable.
"You're always in for a treat?"
Tao Cheng asked tentatively.
"Come to your territory, of course you come."
Chen Heyu has no consciousness of a billionaire, and he clearly wants Tao Cheng to treat him.
"Well, who made you the boss? At the end of the year, remember to give me a promotion and a raise, not too much, a 108,000 increase, I'm not greedy. β
Tao Cheng was poor while getting into the car and experiencing the feeling of a luxury car.
"Lao Mo, go to the nearby shopping mall, I remember that there is a good Hunan cuisine."
Chen Heyu said.
"Howler, boss."
Ding Mo responded.
"The next two cars?"
Tao Cheng soon found that he was followed by two black BMW SUVs, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Bodyguard."
Chen Heyu was helpless, although he didn't need it, there were always people who felt that he needed it, and Secretary Liu even mentioned it privately to give him a group of escorts.
He thought about it, but still refused directly, although he knew that there was Meng Lao's instruction, he liked to be at ease, so he picked a few bodyguards.
"Mr. Chen, do you still plan to write a book? Readers are urging to update! β
Tao Cheng was speechless in his heart, thought for a moment, and then changed the topic and asked.
He has known Chen Heyu for many years, and he is a pure netizen relationship, and occasionally chatting is on TT.
"Forget it, I don't have time, tell me about the recent changes in online texts, are there any popular books suitable for film reform?"
Chen Heyu smiled, in addition to dealing with the company's business, he spent the rest of his time researching new technologies, and he no longer had any interest in writing books.
"The first place in the monthly pass "One Thought Eternal", the following are "The Gate of the Xuan World", "I am really a big star", "Snow Eagle Lord", "White Robe Chief", "Silver Fox", etc., I personally recommend "I am really a big star", hehe."
Tao Cheng replied angrily.
"Put it in the international version of Shanhai Video, it's almost meaningful, forget it, let's use Tomato's "Devouring the Starry Sky".
Chen Heyu groaned.
I have to say that some of the oriental fantasy of tomato, combined with Moss's powerful special effects software, is more suitable for promoting Chinese culture.
"Tomatoes are going to be hot again."
Tao Cheng said with emotion.
A few minutes later, the two walked into a Hunan restaurant and chatted while eating.
Don't talk about work, don't talk about mountain and sea literature, only talk about recent good books and genius authors.
Speaking of happy places, Chen Heyu took out his mobile phone, charged money, and rewarded!
TOP20 best-selling list, one gold alliance leader per person!
Spend 2 million Chinese dollars!
On the homepage of the App, his reward information kept floating, and a bunch of authors who stayed up late were woken up by friends and got up to post a single chapter testimonial.
This is a reward from the big boss, as long as he is still mixing mountains and seas in literature, no one dares to slack off.
After eating a meal for two hours, in the end, Tao Cheng naturally paid for it, Chen Heyu smiled with satisfaction, it felt really good to kill people.
"By the way, ask the author you accepted, if you have any knowledge of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, mythological stories, and write a big IP of China, I will be of great use."
Before leaving, Chen Heyu explained.
"Do you want to report it to Mr. Wu?"
Tao Cheng is colorful, this involves work.
"No, ask internally, mainly to see if anyone is willing to write."
Chen Hayu replied.
"I see."
Tao Cheng nodded, and readily agreed, this kind of benefit is equivalent to Chen Heyu giving him performance for nothing.
Back at the company, Chen Heyu walked into the office and lay down in the bedroom for a comfortable nap.
When he woke up, Sanxing's representative had already arrived.
Liu Guixian, President and CEO of Sanxing Electronics, personally led the business team to the headquarters of Shanhai Microelectronics.
The other party was about sixty years old, with very neatly groomed silver hair, with a pair of tortoiseshell round-framed eyes, and a smile that was very gentle and elegant.
A white shirt with blue clothes looks a lot younger.
"Mr. Chen, I am fortunate to have admired the name for a long time. The last time V-NAND flash technology was licensed, I made the decision. β
Yoo Kye-hyun is fluent in Mandarin and communicates without the slightest barrier.
He has worked at Sanxing for more than 30 years, from a semiconductor design expert to the position of president of a multinational group, with not only outstanding professional knowledge, but also rich management and operation experience.
He has won a number of patented technologies in his life, made great contributions to Sanheung, and is also an academician of the Korean National Academy of Engineering.
V-NAND flash memory technology is his most proud work!
"Mr. Liu, you're welcome, Sanxing is a leader in the Yazhou semiconductor industry, and it is also the object of learning and reference from Shanhai Microelectronics."
Chen Heyu replied indifferently.
"I know Mr. Chen's personality, he is more straightforward and likes to go straight to the point.
So, I'm not going to go around in circles, the core purpose of this trip is to negotiate the foundry cooperation of the Exynos 9 Series 8895 processor. β
Yoo Gye-hyun said calmly.
"The price of a 12-inch silicon wafer is 23,800 US dollars, and the yield rate is between 72~75%, and the price negotiation is not accepted."
Chen Heyu was concise.
"No problem, I agree."
Yoo Gye-hyun nodded immediately, and even the thinking process was omitted.
Before he came to the door, he got a specific quotation, and he saw very clearly that a mere order of billions was nothing to Sanxing.
The global market share of Sanxing Mobile's business is the key!
"The stick is really willing to spend money!"
Chen Heyu squinted his eyes and said secretly in his heart, no wonder it took only more than 20 years to become the world's top semiconductor company from a situation of nothing.
Buying, stealing, and robbing can be described as unscrupulous, and with the sparing of money, it is reasonable to be able to achieve today's status.
OEM order of 8.28 billion US dollars, without the slightest hesitation!
Chen Heyu couldn't help but be vigilant, this opponent, after the large-scale listing of Shanhai M-4, will definitely start a fierce competition.
"Happy working together!"
He smiled softly and held out his right hand.
"Mr. Chen, if you have the opportunity, you are welcome to come to Goryeo, and let me do my best to be a landlord."
Yoo Gye-hyun laughed.
The next day.
The news that Sanxing and Shanhai Microelectronics have reached a cooperation has completely ignited the whole network, and Huaguo has taken the lead in mastering the 10-nanometer chip process.
The gears of history have turned, and after many years of silence, Huaguo's semiconductor industry has stood at the top of the world for the first time.
"Horse-stepping! Tell Besemer what he wanted, and I agreed. β
After Zhang Zhimou, who was far away on Bay Island, received the news, he said hatefully.
"23,800 US dollars! Ping Hua is willing to agree, and immediately help me make an appointment with Mr. Chen! β
When Tim heard the news, he couldn't sit still any longer.
Guys, go to bed quickly
