Two and a half years have passed since Su Yuanshan was reborn.

Two and a half years have passed since the goal of establishing a fab.

It's August 1993, and even according to history, in half a year, a mahjong organization will nominally be disbanded.

Because of the fall of the Northern Empire, the eight cylinders lost their greatest significance and became in name only.

However, even if it exists in name only, as long as it still exists, it is still instructive.

(I won't go into details here.) There are four main reasons for the abolition of the Eight Cylinders: 1: the end of the Cold War, 2: the active entry into the customs (WTO) in China, 3: it has been abused in the hands of "its own people", and 4: there has been a special ban on arms sales to the mainland in a certain year, and the sanctions overlap with the Eight Cylinders. And in fact, even if it is wow S, it is mainly military. Only the eight-cylinder commission was explicitly involved in sophisticated civilian products. ）

At the beginning, Su Yuanshan's strategy was to cooperate with Nifang, especially NEEC has already tasted the sweetness of cooperation with Shougang, coupled with the fact that the two sides have maintained a good relationship all the time, Su Yuanshan has reason to believe that without the constraints of the agreement documents, NEC will be able to help him build the wafer factory - the 909 project in the previous life, Huahong NEC is like this.

It's a pity that the people of Ni have always been ink, so that the 0.5 microns when Huahong was introduced were nearly three generations behind when they were built.

Of course, Su Yuanshan's choice of NEC cooperation will definitely not allow them to continue to ink, and as a private company, Yuanxin will not study for half a day like the government. If the time is well controlled, it is possible to be only one generation behind.

But with the development of Xinghai in Silicon Valley, Su Yuanshan gradually changed his mind.

Especially the gradual deepening of the relationship with Deyi made Su Yuanshan see a beautiful possibility.

When it comes to building a factory, there is no company that is faster than Texas Instruments - because it has a Zhang Rujin.

If the ground can be broken in 94, it will be just in time for Zhang Rujin to return from Singapore. And when he finished building the factory, he was just old enough to get money to leave TI.

With Lao Zhang, he doesn't have to worry about the wafer factory anymore.

......

Su Yuanshan took a sip of coffee lightly, and then quietly waited for Vincenti's reply.

Vincenti coughed lightly, and a smile rose on his face: "Sue, it's difficult." ”

"Do you mean the cooperation side, or the equipment side?"

"It's okay to work together...... There are problems with the equipment, but the most problematic is the process technology. Vincenti said calmly: "You should understand that these are not free to export. ”

Su Yuanshan smiled: "How much is that?"

"6 inches 0.8 microns, the tallest. ”

"Then what if you can export freely?" Su Yuanshan glanced at the distance, and then retracted his gaze: "You should understand that the eight cylinders will definitely die." ”

"If you can export freely......" Vincenti frowned: "Yes, it can meet your requirements, but...... We don't have the need to build factories right now, especially chip factories. ”

Su Yuanshan sighed softly.

The memory of Deyi has not built a factory in China, and since 95 years? Deyi slowed down the construction of the fab. And in the semiconductor winter a few years later, it was a tearful sale? Several factories were sold.

"In fact, it can be built, and there is a great demand for domestic chips at present? Build a factory and earn one. ”

Vincenti smiled: "You can make money without building." ”

“......”

This inevitably made Su Yuanshan a little hateful.

Nowadays, the biggest problem in China is that almost all chips are imported? Those domestic production lines are almost running at full capacity to produce diodes, triodes, and other basic electronic parts that use a lot of money -- you let them produce CPUs? Sorry, they don't have that technology? Two is not that empty.

Even if there is a powerful company like Yuanxin to design a powerful chip, no one in China can do it? It can only be sent to foreign OEM.

So as Vincenti put it? Why did he come to build a chip factory?

He's not here to help the poor......

"It's boring. Su Yuanshan pursed his mouth: "I'll go to the people of Ni Country." ”

"......" Vincenti was slightly stunned: "You're not going to convince me?"

"......" Su Yuanshan blinked, and said inexplicably: "Why do you need to be convinced, what do you need to be convinced?"

"Convince me of the advantages of building a factory in the mainland. Vincenti said speechlessly: "Now that our layout has been completed as a whole, we have also understood the needs of the mainland market, and the most demanded now are basic components." If there is no reason? Why should I come to the mainland to build a factory?"

Su Yuanshan was also stunned? Then he slapped his head.

He forgot that not everyone can know how fast the mainland will develop in the future - and even Intel will come to China to build factories in the end.

Don't say that you are now a "big" customer of Deyi, once you build a factory, it means that TI will transfer its benefits to Yuanxin......

Thinking of this, Su Yuanshan was cheerful? He smiled: "According to the development trend of chip design in the mainland, in the next three to five years? A large number of excellent IC design companies will surely emerge. You have to admit it, right?"

Vincenti nodded: "Grudgingly admit it." ”

"At present, the relationship between the mainland, Ni and the island is on the rise, you have to admit this, right?"

"Admit it. ”

"So even according to the principle of proximity? Orders from these companies will also flow to the surrounding areas...... But if you cooperate with Yuanxin, can you build the most advanced chip factory in China? These orders will definitely not be able to run away. Su Yuanshan said and paused: "At the same time? Far Chip also needed a state-of-the-art fab to meet our design and tape-out needs. ”

The meaning of this last sentence could not be more obvious? This wafer factory, Yuanxin must be built. If you don't help, then we'll have to find someone else.

And when the time comes, because Xinghai is a shareholder of Deyi, the order will definitely be handed over to Deyi, which will not be able to escape. But there was no agreement on Yuanxin's side, and Su Yuanshan ran away unhappy at that time...... Then Deyi lost a lot.

Vincenti pondered for a few seconds before nodding slowly, "But the limit is always there. ”

"In this case, let's not talk about the shares of both parties...... Yuanxin first invested part of the capital in the early stage of the factory's infrastructure. If there is no limit to what is in a year, when will we build a factory, what do you think?"

Vincenti looked at him in surprise: "Are you going to bet again?"

The bet here is naturally a bet that the eight cylinders will be canceled within a year.

Su Yuanshan shook his head with a smile: "It's not a gamble, but a judgment based on the situation." ”

"If you agree, we can sign a memorandum, if you don't...... Then I'm really going to look for the people of Niguo. ”

Vincenti shook her head: "No, I'd love to know, what if there are still restrictions in a year?"

"Then it's the next best thing. Su Yuanshan looked calm: "Or...... It's no problem to build a 1,000-acre R&D center. ”

“......”

Vincenti was silent for a few seconds before saying cautiously, "I still need to discuss it with other high-level officials. ”

(I owe a chapter first...... I can't stay up anymore)
