Chapter 76: Here comes the pillow

As usual, China strongly condemned and protested against the money-grabbing behavior of the Global Wafer Industry Association, and said that it would submit the matter to the International Commercial Arbitration Organization.

But in fact, everyone knows that this is a gesture and telling them that we are not convinced, which will not help the situation substantially......

Magic City,

Chen Yunming, president of Shencheng Silicon Industry Group, just went to Yanjing for a meeting, and immediately after returning, he held a high-level meeting of Shencheng Silicon Industry, and conveyed with a solemn expression:

"The above meaning has come down, this time we can only take it first, and we can't carry it, so the Ministry of Finance will take action, and they can't make up for it...... It is estimated that the export control of rare earths will have to be appropriately relaxed. ”

"Liberalize the export of rare earths?" Dong Jianyuan snorted coldly, "It turns out that Lao M is playing this abacus. ”

"Well, it's not a day or two since they were obsessed with the defeat in the rare earth war."

After Chen Yunming finished speaking, he asked again: "Have we finished counting our wafer inventory?" How long can it last? ”

"If you count the shipments of Silicon Systology, it should be able to hold on for three months......"

"It's only been three months?"

"We have silicon technology to make silicon wafers, and it is good to be able to last for three months, but SMIC is miserable, and it is estimated that they will not be able to last even two months."

"Hey, I reminded them that they have to do the whole industry chain......"

"It's not their fault, their task is to specialize in wafer manufacturing, otherwise how can they create 28-nanometer chips so quickly."

Chen Yunming nodded, and asked again, "Jianyuan, how is your situation in Steel City this time?" ”

"I feel very good, Kangchi seems to be very easy to get along with, he didn't hold on to Liu Xingdong's affairs, and his attitude towards our Shencheng silicon industry is also friendly, and he sold three monocrystalline furnaces to us."

"That's good, how much does their monocrystalline furnace sell for?"

"180 million, which is reasonable."

"Hmm...... But the problem is that now that Shin-Etsu Chemical has been completely terminated, the supply of our silicon wafer production equipment, the expansion plan of Silicon Technology is estimated to be stopped, and your three monocrystalline furnaces ......"

"Absolutely no return!"

Dong Jianyuan interrupted Chen Yunming's words,

"I think the more this is the case, the more the expansion plan of Silicon Information Technology cannot be stopped, otherwise after the successful development of manufacturing equipment, it will waste a lot of time to expand production, and now time is money."

"Of course I understand that."

Chen Yunming took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes vigorously, then slowly put them on, and sighed,

"The problem is, now you need money for everything."

"If we don't want to shut down and stop production in three months, we have to prepare money to buy their high-priced silicon wafers, and now they dare to increase the price by 7 times at the beginning, and after three months, will it become 10 times, 20 times?!"

"In addition, the expansion plan of Silicon Trust Technology also requires money, not to mention the research and development of silicon wafer equipment, which is the key to surviving this difficulty, and you have to spend the most money to do it......"

"Now that all the money we can borrow has been loaned, and the bank boss has taken a detour when he sees me, tell me, where else can we make so much money? If there is really no turnaround, among the three options of wafer production, wafer manufacturing equipment research and development, and wafer expansion, is it the priority of the expansion plan, which can be put in the back row? ”

After listening to Chen Yunming's analysis, Dong Jianyuan was also silent.

"There's really no indication at all?"

"Yes, there must be, but it should mainly focus on the research and development of silicon wafer manufacturing equipment, and the intensity is not necessarily great...... After all, their support for semiconductors is already very strong, not to mention that it is not only the semiconductor industry that needs to be supported, and their pressure is not less than ours. ”

In fact, there is another point,

Research and development of this kind of thing, sometimes not to increase support, will definitely be effective......

Because he was worried about aggravating everyone's pessimism, Chen Yunming directly skipped this point.

"Why don't we engage in joint research and development with Dahan Silicon?" Dong Jianyuan suddenly proposed,

"The previous silicon wafer technology alliance has basically become useless because of Liu Xingdong's matter, but I think this starting point is good, and now is the time when the entire silicon wafer industry needs to work together."

Chen Yunming nodded: "You can give it a try, but I estimate that there will be a certain degree of difficulty, after all, this time it is wafer manufacturing that is being knifed, which is actually good for silicon wafers......

"By the way, Silicon Technology is now leaderless, and the people are scattered, so I have to spend a little more energy over there during this time, and at the same time, I must find a way to invite Dr. Yan back, Silicon Technology can do without Liu Xingdong, but it must not be without Yan Hui!"

"yes, I see."

After Dong Jianyuan finished speaking, he got up directly and prepared to start practical actions.

however

What he didn't know was that Yan Hui at this time had already appeared in Steel City......

When he heard that a Dr. Yan was looking for him, Kang Chi immediately put down his work.

The smile on his face, that can't be hidden at all!

During this time, while the second phase of the project was still under construction, he wanted to train a group of technical talents who could be qualified for the manufacturing of single crystal furnaces, but the result made him quite distressed.

These people even have to look at the drawings for a long time to understand, and the actual assembly speed is even slower than that.

At their speed, they don't know if they will be able to hand over those 16 monocrystalline furnaces until next year!

What's more, in order to prevent technical leakage, he redesigned the single crystal furnace this time and added some physical anti-theft measures.

Well

To put it bluntly, they are mechanical mechanisms, and once someone tries to disassemble the equipment, the encryption system inside will immediately activate the anti-theft program and destroy the core component structure.

As for this encryption system, it is customized by the digital encryption company that Kangchi found through the introduction of Chief Lu.

This crypto company from Yanjing is currently serving a number of high-tech companies and even banks, and the technology is certainly not to be said.

With the two sets of anti-theft encryption systems that cooperate with each other of physical + software, there is no need to worry about selling a single crystal furnace, which will cause technical leakage.

At least domestically, the chances of the system being cracked are almost zero.

As for abroad,

Kangchi is not ready to sell to them at all,

At least not yet.

However, because of the addition of these two systems, the structural complexity of the single crystal furnace has been increased by one level, which directly confuses the engineers of Dahan Silicon Industry.

Kangchi hates that iron does not become steel, and he can only be anxious.

outcome

If you want to doze off, someone will bring a pillow!

Although Kang Chi was not sure of Yan Hui's purpose for coming to him,

But since everyone is here, can you still let him run away?

"Dr. Yan, I'm sorry to keep you waiting......"

As soon as Kang Chi entered the reception room, he smiled and shook Yan Hui's hand: "I have been looking up for a long time, I have long heard of you, the first person in silicon wafers in China, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." ”

"Ahem." Yan Hui smiled a little embarrassedly, "Don't dare to be it, that kind of name is what they call nonsense, even if you really have this kind of name, it should be you now." ”

"Hehe, I'm just lucky this time, I just happened to achieve a little result, which can compare to the results brought by your hard work for so many years."

"Hmm...... Mr. Kang, or we won't say polite words, I'll just say it if I have something to say......"

"The purpose of my coming to Gangcheng this time is to join Dahan Silicon Industry, if Mr. Kang does not dislike me, I hope to learn from you and continue to engage in the research and development of silicon wafer production equipment!"
