Chapter 77 A pillow is coming
As usual, China strongly condemned and protested the Global Silicon Wafer Industry Association’s money-grabbing behavior, and said it would submit the matter to the International Commercial Arbitration Organization.
But in fact, everyone knows that this is just a statement to tell them that we are not convinced, which does not really help the situation…
Modu,
Chen Yunming, president of Shencheng Silicon Industry Group, had just finished a meeting in Yanjing. After returning, he immediately convened a high-level meeting of Shencheng Silicon Industry and conveyed it with a serious expression:
”The meaning from above has been given. This time, we can only bear it ourselves. If we can’t bear it anymore, the Ministry of Finance will take action. When they can’t make up for it anymore… I guess we have to relax the export control of rare earths appropriately.”
”Lift rare earth exports?” Dong Jianyuan snorted, “So that’s what Old M is thinking.”
”Well, they have been brooding over the defeat in the rare earth war for a long time.”
After Chen Yunming finished speaking, he asked : “Have we finished counting our silicon wafer inventory? How long can we last?”
”If we count the shipments of Silicon Communication Technology, we should be able to last for three months…”
”Only three months?”
”We have Silicon Communication Technology to make silicon wafers. It’s good enough to last for three months. SMIC is the worst. They probably can’t even last for two months.”
”Ah, I reminded them to do the whole industry chain…”
”It’s not their fault. Their mission is to specialize in wafer manufacturing. Otherwise, how can they make 28-nanometer chips so quickly?”
Chen Yunming nodded and asked, “Jianyuan, how was your trip to Gangcheng this time?”
”It feels good. Kang Chi seems to be easy to get along with. He didn’t hold on to Liu Xingdong’s affairs and applied to us. Chengsi Industry was friendly and sold us three single crystal furnaces. ”
”That’s good. How much do their single crystal furnaces cost?”
”180 million, which is reasonable.”
”Well… but the problem is that Shin-Etsu Chemical has completely stopped supplying our silicon wafer production equipment. Silicon Technology’s expansion plan will probably have to stop. Your three single crystal furnaces…”
”Absolutely cannot be returned!”
Dong Jianyuan interrupted Chen Yunming, “I think the more this is the case, the more Silicon Technology’s expansion plan cannot be stopped. Otherwise, after the manufacturing equipment is successfully developed, it will take a lot of time to expand production. Now time is money.”
”Of course I understand this.”
Chen Yunming took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then He put it on slowly and sighed, “The problem is that everything needs money now.”
”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. Moreover, they dare to increase the price by 7 times at the beginning. Will it become 10 times or 20 times in three months?!”
”In addition, Silicon Information Technology’s expansion plan also requires money, not to mention the research and development of silicon wafer equipment. That is the key to getting through this difficult time. We have to spend the most money…”
”Now all the loans that can be borrowed have been borrowed. The bank bosses will take a detour when they see me. Tell me, where can we get so much money? If we really can’t make ends meet, among the three options of wafer production, silicon wafer manufacturing equipment research and development, and silicon wafer expansion, can the expansion plan be prioritized and put at the back?”
After listening to Chen Yunming’s analysis, Dong Jianyuan was silent.
”Is there really no expression from the top? ”
”Of course there are, but they should focus on the research and development of silicon wafer manufacturing equipment, and the intensity may not be that great… After all, their support for semiconductors is already very strong, not to mention that it is not only the semiconductor industry that needs support, and their pressure is no less than ours.”
In fact, there is another point. For research and development, sometimes it is not necessary to increase support to produce results…
Because he was worried about increasing everyone’s pessimism, Chen Yunming directly skipped this point. ”Why don’t we do joint research and development with Dahan Silicon Industry?” Dong Jianyuan suddenly proposed, ”The previous silicon wafer technology alliance has basically become a mere formality because of Liu Xingdong’s incident, but I think this starting point is good. 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 think it will be difficult. After all, it is wafer manufacturing that is being cut this time, which is actually good for silicon wafer manufacturers…”
”By the way, Silicon Letter Technology is nowThe group is leaderless and the morale is low. You have to spend more energy there during this period of time. At the same time, you have to find a way to invite Dr. Yan back. Silicon Technology can do without Liu Xingdong, but it must not be without Yan Hui! ”
”Well, I understand.”
After Dong Jianyuan finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to start practical actions.
However, what he didn’t know was that Yan Hui had already appeared in Steel City at this time…
When he heard that Dr. Yan was looking for him, Kang Chi immediately put down his work, and the smile on his face could not be hidden at all!
During this period of time, while the second phase of the project was still under construction, he wanted to train a group of technical talents who could be competent for the task of single crystal furnace manufacturing, but the result made him quite distressed.
These people even had to spend a long time looking at the drawings before they could understand them, The actual assembly speed was terribly slow. At their speed, they might not be able to deliver the sixteen single crystal furnaces by next year!
What’s more, in order to prevent technology leaks, he redesigned the single crystal furnace again and added some physical anti-theft measures.
Well, to put it bluntly, it was just some mechanical mechanisms. Once someone tried to disassemble the equipment, the encryption system inside would immediately start the anti-theft program and destroy the core component structure.
As for this encryption system, it was customized by a digital encryption company that Kang Chi found through the introduction of Chief Lu. ,
This encryption company from Yanjing currently serves many high-tech companies and even banks, and its technology is definitely excellent.
With the two sets of anti-theft encryption systems of physics + software, there is no need to worry about the sale of single crystal furnaces, which will cause technology leaks.
At least in China, the possibility of this system being cracked is almost zero.
As for foreign countries,
Kangchi is not going to sell it to them at all,
At least not now.
But because of the addition of these two systems, the structural complexity of the single crystal furnace has increased. level, directly confused the engineers of Dahan Silicon Industry.
Kang Chi was very disappointed with his failure, and could only worry.
As a result,
When he wanted to take a nap, someone brought him a pillow! Although Kang Chi was not sure about the purpose of Yan Hui’s visit to him, but since he was here, could he still let him run away?
”Dr. Yan, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting…”
As soon as Kang Chi entered the reception room, he smiled and shook Yan Hui’s hand: “I have heard of you for a long time, and I have heard of you as the number one silicon wafer in China. Today, I see that you are indeed extraordinary.”
”Ahem.” Yan Hui smiled awkwardly, “I don’t deserve it. That kind of title is just something they call randomly. If there is such a title, it should be you now.”
”Haha, I was just lucky this time. I happened to achieve some small results. How can it compare to the results brought by your hard work for so many years. ”
”Well… Mr. Kang, why don’t we stop being polite and just say what I want to say…”
”The reason I came to Gangcheng this time is to join Dahan Silicon Industry. If Mr. Kang doesn’t mind me, I hope to learn from you and continue to research and develop silicon wafer production equipment!”
