The absolute major shareholder of Qingwei Semiconductor is Qingda, but what makes everyone feel interesting is that the president appointed by Qingwei Semiconductor this time is Academician Ni Guangnan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. You must know that some time ago, Ni Guangnan was swept away by Lianxiang Group because he advocated taking the enterprise route of technology, industry and trade, which made some of the layouts made by the old man go down the drain, I thought he would be depressed, but I didn't expect Qingwei Semiconductor to invite him out, and also released such a hot news.

At the press conference, Ni Guangnan distributed more than a dozen chips to representatives of major manufacturers and asked them to take them back for study.

Seeing this news, Toshiba's concerns were dispelled, if Qingwei Semiconductor did make a breakthrough and build a large-scale factory, then if the production capacity exploded, Toshiba's local factory would definitely not be able to bear it, the cost was too high, and it seemed that it was imperative to lay out a new wafer factory.

Qingwei Semiconductor is not only shaking Toshiba, Samsung and Intel, these chip factories, Nikon, Canon, and even ASML these lithography machine manufacturers are also a little confused, why the big rabbit broke through silently, how did you break through, didn't you say that it is better to buy than to buy?

All manufacturers are waiting and seeing, this news is too big, and it will have to be digested for a while. There are also those who are in a hurry, and they really sent an order to Qingwei Semiconductor, and unexpectedly and expectedly, Qingwei Semiconductor took the order next. It's really next, although Qingwei Semiconductor said that the current production capacity is insufficient, and it is subcontracting the production of some low-end chips and establishing new chip foundries. Now the production capacity is really insufficient, but it can be delivered in small quantities every month. It is necessary to explode the production capacity after a year, otherwise it is willing to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages.

You know, as long as the big rabbit enters which field, which field will face the strong competition of the big rabbit, the cost is greatly reduced, that is the routine operation, after all, the cost advantage of the big rabbit is too great.

There are also domestic chip manufacturers, seeing that Qingwei Semiconductor said that the lithography machine has made a major breakthrough, so they hurried to buy the lithography machine, and there are quite a lot of people who buy it. Qingwei Semiconductor held another press conference, mainly to say a meaning: don't worry, the core technology of the lithography machine has broken through, but the production capacity of some core components is insufficient, such as the lens of the objective lens, etc., Qingwei has placed orders for domestic and foreign manufacturers, if you can buy the output will soon be raised, if you can't buy it, then you have to slowly produce it yourself, although the quality is a little worse, but the core technology has broken through, the research and development of these components will also be put on the agenda, and it has been handed over to a number of research institutions for joint research and development.

In 1997, the planned output was only 5 units, mainly for their own foundries, and some special departments used it, but in 1998, the output could rise to 8 units, you can book in advance, first come, first served, in principle, it is the domestic priority, to ensure that the process technology is not outdated. The price of the lithography machine is 300 million yuan, and the payment needs to be made before the goods, and the payment order is queued.

After three days, Qingwei Semiconductor developed a conference again, this time the old man Ni did not come out, and changed to a Qingli beauty, mainly to announce the payment of 8 billion, the lithography machine queue has reached 2000, so no new orders will be accepted for the time being, if there are still manufacturers who want to buy lithography machines, the process requirements are not so high, you can go to Nikon and Canon to see, although it is a little more expensive over there, but the cycle is short, and the production is fast.

Nikon Canon really has a lot of orders here, and the two of them look at it, sell it, and if they don't sell it, the market will be robbed, embargo, to hell.

That's it, a lot of lithography machines have been ordered in China, and Nikon and Canon have big bellies. ASML can't sit still, now the embargo seems to be invalid in the semiconductor industry, no one supervises Nikon and Canon, if the market is eaten up by them, then their own life will not be easy, so they urgently contacted several large domestic factories and told them that they can cut the queue to provide lithography machines, the shortest purchase cycle, and the benefits can be seen when building a factory.

Several large domestic manufacturers have always wanted to build chip factories, but they are struggling to buy lithography machines. Who knows that feng shui changes in turns, this year to my house, this lithography machine actually began to sell door-to-door, who can find reason for this. As a result, several factories placed orders without even talking about the price.

This world is so weird, when you don't build a lithography machine, people will get stuck with you, and they won't sell it to you. When you can build it, they rush to deliver it to you, which really fulfills the sentence, rushing is not a sale. Is ASML short of money for these machines? Not really. But he has to think about it, if the market is lost, it will be difficult in the future, anyway, the current lithography machine technology has been conquered by Huaxia, then let the water flood, eat the market, and wait for Qingwei Semiconductor to burst out of production capacity, the next generation of lithography machine on his side should be launched.

Since 1996, when the world semiconductor market entered a downturn, the semiconductor industry in various countries has fallen into a difficult situation. The timing chosen by Qingwei Semiconductor is really wonderful. In that lifetime, it was not until the second half of 1999 that the world's semiconductor industry could rebound, and at the same time, because of the strong demand in the PC market, it ushered in another wave of rapid development.

Cang Yaozu hoped that the Internet and PC era in Huaxia would come two years earlier, so he instructed Ge Liqin and Ding Hao, the sixth child, to open a chain of Internet cafes in Huaxia through mortgage revolving loans, with the aim of activating Huaxia's IT industry as soon as possible. Even if it is to change the occurrence of some events, after all, even if some things happen a little earlier, the general trend will not change.

Cang Yaozu himself has made a lot of changes, such as the early launch of the ICQ Chinese version, such as the establishment of Yanyou Information Industrial Park, which will catalyze the development of China's IT industry, Cang Yaozu believes that the three major portals must be gearing up now, and it is estimated that it is certain a few months earlier than that life. Cang Yaozu is not worried about the emergence of these changes, after all, the biggest change is his appearance.

After the contract with Shengdi was signed, Ge Liqin rushed to Tokyo with Sanjay Tra and Jack Yuan, and they wanted to sign a cooperation agreement with Toshiba to build two new wafer fabs.

He and Shengdi and Toshiba agreed on the construction of the wafer factory, and the matter came to an end, and Cang Yaozu wanted to leave. But Dr. Eli Harari wouldn't let him go, and he had to tell him the specifics of his consumer electronics project.

The contract has been signed, the funds have been put in place, and the transactions of the shares have been completed. Most of the main patent applications for USB flash drives and mp3 have been filed, and the rest are mainly for some peripheral patent applications.

Cang Yaozu was not afraid of any moths coming out of Sheng Saucer, so he said to Dr. Avery Harary: "Doctor, you have been mainly designing and producing flash memory cards for some digital products, and then providing some accessories for some computers, and the scope of this application is indeed too small.

I designed a computer accessory called a USB flash drive, as long as there is a USB interface on the computer, you can use it, this kind of USB flash drive is small in size, but the capacity is very large, it can do about 1G, in the future, with the progress of technology, the price of flash memory will go down, this capacity will be further improved.

In this way, floppy drives and floppy disks on computers can be eliminated, and our first world-changing project is to replace floppy drives and floppy disks altogether. Now that there are so many computers, everyone who uses computers regularly is our potential customer, and a person will also need multiple USB flash drives. Therefore, the output of this project must be in the unit of 100 million, and with the development of the PC market, more and more people will use USB flash drives. ”
