59. Chapter 59 Strong Alliance
Chapter 59 Strong Alliance
Shencheng, Shencheng Silicon Industry Group Headquarters Building.
In a medium-sized conference room, a special secret meeting is being held.
Several domestic semiconductor-grade silicon wafer R&D companies and technical teams were invited by Shencheng Silicon Industry Group to discuss a topic: How to respond to the national call, actively promote the process of domestic silicon wafer R&D and manufacturing, connect the communication channels of the silicon wafer industry chain, and avoid waste of resources caused by ineffective competition.
To put it bluntly, everyone has already used their own skills during this period, and the money they should have received has been taken.
Now it’s time to sit down and discuss how to divide the remaining money.
The meeting was chaired by Liu Xingdong, chairman of Silicon Letter Technology, a subsidiary of Shencheng Silicon Industry Group.
After a morning of negotiations, these big guys who occupy more than 90% of the domestic silicon wafer R&D and manufacturing market finally reached a preliminary consensus and agreed to join forces, coordinate resources, and strive to conquer 12-inch silicon wafer manufacturing within a year and win the remaining more than 2 billion subsidies! Although there is a preliminary consensus, there are still many details to be negotiated to truly implement it. For example, the most important issue is how to cut the cake. Is it to cut according to the current strength of each party, or to divide it according to the results of each party in subsequent research and development? Once companies and teams with small strength join this alliance, they can directly obtain a large amount of shared technology. This is already a great thing. In terms of cutting the cake, they have no say at all. Even considering that once the technical alliance conquers the 12-inch silicon wafer, everyone will have the technology to manufacture it. So it is not only more than 2 billion in support funds, but also how to divide the future market? This is the top priority! After a long tug-of-war, the meeting finally reached a consensus after both sides compromised and gave in.
On the same day, Shencheng Silicon Industry Group officially announced this blockbuster news to the media.
The news immediately caused a certain degree of heated discussion in all walks of life. For the general public, there is not much to say except that domestic silicon wafers are promising.
After all, this thing is not highly related to life, and ordinary people don’t understand it.
For the semiconductor field, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
With so many big guys taking the lead in the alliance, the possibility of taking over silicon wafer manufacturing in a short period of time is obviously much higher.
In response, SMIC, Huahong, Tsinghua Unigroup and other industry companies have sent congratulatory messages and good wishes.
If we talk about who is most afraid of silicon wafer supply cuts in China, the wafer factories must be the first to bear the brunt.
Silicon wafers are their raw materials and their lifeblood.
Without silicon wafers, even the most powerful lithography machines will be out of business.
So they hope that these silicon wafer companies will unite to conduct research and development to help them remove the knife on their necks…
As for the higher-level leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology, they are mixed with joy and sorrow after hearing the news.
First of all, it is definitely a good thing.
But if they do this, won’t the special subsidies set up by the Ministry of Science and Technology become their own?
Originally, they wanted to set up bonuses to stimulate everyone’s passion for research and development.
Now that they have united, will the passion fade? Or even passive slacking?
It’s hard to say.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Chief Lu a little unhappy. He did not see the name of Dahan Silicon Industry on the joint list.
Obviously, the company that Academician Wu strongly recommended to him was excluded.
However, he couldn’t say anything about it. Even if Academician Wu was optimistic about Kang Chi, Dahan Silicon Industry was just a start-up company and had no outstanding results at present. It was reasonable that Shencheng Silicon Industry did not invite them.
As for Kang Chi, because he was busy coordinating the work of various groups in Gangcheng, he didn’t pay attention to this explosive news at all. In the end, it was not until Academician Wu called him that he knew about it.
”You don’t have to be discouraged. With your current size, even if you participate, you won’t get much benefit.” Wu Lihong kindly comforted, “As long as you follow the ideas of your paper and concentrate on verification, I believe you will achieve certain results.”
”Well, I know, teacher, don’t worry, I don’t mind this kind of thing at all.”
As a result, Kang Chi’s overly relaxed answer made Academician Wu think that he was trying to reassure himself, but in fact he was a little sad…After all, in Wu Lihong’s opinion, Kang Chi had always been closed in his own world. Now he finally opened his heart for some reason and was willing to come out to do research.
As a result, he was excluded by his peers at the beginning…
Can he psychologically withstand such a big blow? Will he become closed again because of this?
So Wu Lihong comforted Kang Chi with kind words again, which made Kang Chi laugh and cry.
However, Academician Wu’s previous analysis was not wrong at all.
With the current situation of Dahan Silicon Industry, even if Kang Chi received an invitation, he would definitely not bother to pay attention. Wouldn’t he be exploited and make things difficult for himself if he went? He would be crazy not to go!
However, their union still put some pressure on Kang Chi. After all, silicon wafer manufacturing has always been stuck, because there were too many directions that needed to be supported by the superiors before, and they could not take care of the silicon wafers.
Now they have realized the importance of silicon wafers and increased their support. Who knows, one day, this technology alliance will really make a breakthrough in technology…
Although subsidies are the best, but it won’t hurt if they are not,
How annoying it is that the duck that is in your mouth has flown away!
Thinking of this, Kang Chi couldn’t help but go to the construction site again, and then asked the project manager: “Can the progress be faster?”
”Faster? A steel structure factory building with an area of more than 3,000 square meters and a height of 16 meters, and part of it is four-story, can be delivered in 40 days, which is already very fast! It usually takes at least 70 days, unless you change to a simple shed, which can be done in half a month.”
”…Uh, forget about the simple shed.”
Originally, it was planned to build a slightly more spacious factory building, but in order to save time, it was changed to a steel structure, which was the limit Kang Chi could accept.
As for changing to a simple shed with air leaks on all sides?
Even if the employees have no objection, he himself can’t stand it! After all, they are also a high-tech enterprise, and it is also a project with a billion-yuan investment.
Basic appearance should be maintained, right? Technical confidentiality should also be done, right? ”How about you take a day off during the New Year? I can take care of the triple salary!”
”Uh,”
When the project manager heard that there was a triple salary, he couldn’t help but feel a little moved, but for the sake of safety, he still added: “I have to ask the workers for their opinions.”
The result is imaginable,
When they heard that overtime would be paid three times the salary, this group of lovely and hardworking workers basically all agreed.
After all, there is still one day off, which is basically enough for them to go back and have a reunion dinner.
Kang Chi was also quite satisfied with this.
Fortunately, the decision was wise at the beginning, and they found a local construction company and the workers were all locals. Otherwise, even if Kang Chi was anxious, he would probably be helpless.
