Chapter 168 - No favoritism, self-financing
After the inauguration ceremony, the entire Datang Heavy Industry quickly became busy.
Large trucks kept transporting all kinds of equipment and materials inside, some of which were old equipment from Pingjiang, and some of which were new equipment purchased from all over the country.
Almost as soon as the equipment was brought in, it was quickly installed by more than 10,000 engineers and then put into use.
The largest department of Datang Heavy Industry is the oil insect manufacturing department, with more than 8,000 people, and Fang Qiang is the department head.
This department was divided into ten large groups, one hundred groups.
Each team is assigned the task of manufacturing dozens to 100 parts, which are then assembled by the assembly team and finally sent to the final assembly workshop to complete the final assembly.
Therefore, in addition to the hundreds of senior engineers in charge of the final assembly, most of them still know nothing about what they have made, even if they have been working in Datang Heavy Industries for more than half a month.
The second is the lithography machine department responsible for the 'OEM' EUV lithography machine for Daqin Optics, which has 3,000 employees, and Yan Hui serves as the department head.
The remaining 1,000 are the most high-end R&D technicians, who really have self-R&D capabilities and are good at R&D innovation rather than manufacturing.
These people belong to the company's mobile and flexible team, directly under the command of Kangchi, and go wherever they are needed.
At present, the main task assigned to them by Kangchi is to assist the other two departments to complete the installation of the company's instruments and equipment, and to assist them to quickly enter the production state.
If you have nothing to do, you can propose a scientific research project by yourself, which will be reviewed and approved by Kangchi, or you can choose to hang it on the task board, similar to a small project such as the miniaturization and diversification of automatic cooking machines.
Just as Datang Heavy Industries was gradually on the right track, a solar power station in the Gobi Desert in South Asia began to take shape after months of construction.
To the northeast of the solar power plant is the Yadan landscape, which has been formed by wind erosion, and these earthen walls are like ancient castles, standing quietly in the desert.
At this time, two men in yellow camouflage uniforms were lying on the waist of an 'ancient castle', quietly observing the solar power station in the distance through binoculars.
"What the hell are these Chinese guys doing?"
After putting down the binoculars, Beaters couldn't help but say something he had said he had said an unknown number of times.
"It's clear that they're ready to exploit the shale oil underneath."
"I know, but six oil wells have been drilled, and the power station has been laid so big, what about the oil? Why didn't they pick up a drop of oil? ”
"Perhaps, they're experimenting here? But the experiment failed? ”
"Experiments? Are they cerebral convulsions? Came all the way to PK country to build such a large solar power station for shale oil extraction experiments? Their tens of billions of tons of resources are not enough for their experiments? ”
"Uh...... I think I'll leave this question to the top for a headache, I just hope that this group of people can end this damn experiment soon, so that I can go home early and take a comfortable hot bath, otherwise if it goes on like this, even the lice will eat us! ”
"Expect them to end the experiment, it's better to pray for someone to change the guard......"
In fact, they have discussed this topic several times almost every day.
And the result of each discussion seems meaningless,
But they still enjoy it.
Or rather, having been lurking in the place where the birds don't poop for nearly a month, Beaters and his teammates had to find something to talk about.
Otherwise, it's boring to the point of schizophrenia.
Just after the two finished talking, another group of teammates quietly touched up and changed the guard with them.
Batterston smiled and packed up his gear, ready to return to the shelter for a comfortable nap during the middle of the day, when the sun was at its hottest......
——
The spring breeze in March began to blow quietly on the earth.
Daqin's optical camera R&D department was surprised to not even speak after receiving the project feedback from Kangchi at the beginning of the year, and found that Kangchi directly helped them solve almost all the key problems.
However, with Wu'an's R&D experience, their ability to receive is no longer what it used to be.
He Yongbin was even silently in his heart, and his brain made up Kang Chi and said to him with a smile: Ji Cao Don't be six.
There is no sense of disobedience.
After the key problems were solved, the rest were some matching small problems, and He Yongbin directly announced that the project had entered the prototype manufacturing and commissioning process.
Only three weeks later, Kangchi received a prototype mobile phone from He Yongbin.
This mobile phone is actually an ordinary mobile phone on the market, He Yongbin dismantled its original camera, replaced it with the lens module they developed, and debugged the camera driver of the system.
After a few simple tests, Kangchi confirmed that the effect met his design expectations and did not deviate much, so he called Fang Qiming.
"Have the R&D costs and manufacturing costs of mobile phone lenses been calculated?"
"Hmm." Fang Qiming quickly replied, "The R&D cost so far is about 140 million, of which the CMOS tape-out cost is 90 million, accounting for the largest amount. ”
"If we let Shencheng Silicon Industry OEM CMOS, and we are responsible for making lenses ourselves, the manufacturing cost of a camera module of the order of 100,000 is about 150, and if it exceeds 1 million, it can be reduced by about 20 or 30."
Kangchi nodded: "The first production line of Dahan Core Industry will almost be put into operation next month, and there is no need to trouble the Shencheng silicon industry in the future." ”
The 'trouble' mentioned by Kangchi here is actually true.
The first lithography machine built by Kangchi is currently in use in the silicon industry in Shencheng, and with the current gap and market of domestic high-end process chips, they have no shortage of orders at all.
However, Kangchi always looked for them to tape out, and every time the tape-out had to debug the machine, it was equivalent to becoming Kangchi's laboratory, which was a waste of time.
Therefore, they have long wished that Kangchi's own wafer fab should be built as soon as possible, so as not to delay their production plan......
After Fang Qiming was silent for a moment, he couldn't help but speak: "If Dahan Core Industry comes to OEM, then I won't be able to determine the cost for the time being." ”
"You don't have to worry about any brother company, how much is the foundry fee of Shencheng's silicon industry, and there is only so much for Dahan Chip, let them be responsible for their own profits and losses." Kangchi replied directly, "If the foundry fee they offer in the future is too much higher than the market price, I will also allow you to find another foundry." ”
After Fang Qiming listened, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It is indeed more convenient for their own group to build a wafer factory, but this actually limits their choice.
The most important data to measure the strength of a wafer factory, in addition to production capacity and process, is the yield rate.
If the production yield is low, then its foundry cost will definitely not be much cheaper.
As an emerging wafer factory, although Dahan Core enjoys the priority supply of the group's equipment resources, its technical and talent background is certainly not comparable with the old wafer factories such as SMIC and Shencheng Silicon Industry, and the yield rate in the early stage is estimated to be not very high.
If Dahan Chip Industry is allowed to quote the actual price according to the production cost, the foundry fee is likely to be much higher than that of the Shencheng silicon industry.
This will make the cost of Daqin Optics' products rise and compress their profitability.
And what Kangchi means now is obviously to let its subsidiaries not favor each other, be responsible for their own profits and losses, and speak with strength.
Although whether it is a profit or a loss, it is Kangchi to bear it in the end, but at least the people below will not be constrained by this, let alone because the customers are their own people, so as to produce a worry-free mentality, and even slaughter their own people with confidence, and finally completely lose their market competitiveness.
This phenomenon has happened in some state-owned enterprises, and it has only gradually improved after many rounds of reform.
After talking about the manufacturing process of the lens, Kangchi and Fang Qiming finalized the shipping price of this mobile phone lens.
699。
This price, in terms of mobile phone lenses, must be expensive.
But with an upfront investment of 140 million, even if you can earn 500 by selling a lens, the shipment volume must be about 250,000 to barely recover the cost, and the extra can make money, and if you have less, you will have to lose money.
In fact, Fang Qiming thinks that with the performance of this mobile phone lens, even if it is sold 999, it is not an exaggeration, but Kangchi feels that it is now the stage of grabbing the market, and it is still necessary to adhere to the principle of low price and volume.
Even if he grabs the market, he really reaches the stage where he can cut leeks, he should go to the overseas market to cut, and in the Chinese market, he will always focus on a good quality and low price!
After finalizing some details, the two ended the call.
Next, Fang Qiming personally led the team and came to discuss cooperation with major mobile phone manufacturers.
