Chapter 140: Uncovering Scars and Healing Injuries
Daqin Optics, Magic City Branch.
Da Da Da——
He Yongbin quickly signed his name on a stack of receipt documents, and then handed it to the Datang employee who came from Pingjiang to deliver the information.
”Where are the things?”
”All here.”
The employee of Datang Heavy Industry took out a hard drive and said to He Yongbin solemnly:
”In addition to the design drawings, there is also a system folder. Mr. Kang asked you to package it into an installation program.”
He Yongbin couldn’t help but feel a little confused. The hardware hasn’t been developed yet, but the system has been written?
However, He Yongbin knew that this employee was just delivering goods, so it was useless to ask him, so he nodded directly: “Okay, thank you for your hard work. I have asked the administration to book a hotel for you.”
”Ah? I will be back to Pingjiang soon, so let’s cancel the hotel.”
”So urgent?”
”There is overtime pay…”
”…”
Good guy, Traveling back overnight can also be considered overtime? He Yongbin was overjoyed. Could it be true what General Manager Fang said at the meeting after he came here? Just when He Yongbin was in a complicated mood and wanted to go back to the office to look at the design drawings in the hard drive first, Fang Qiming also came after hearing the news.
Seeing the hard drive in He Yongbin’s hand, Fang Qiming couldn’t help but ask excitedly: “Did General Manager Kang send the camera drawings?”
He Yongbin nodded.
Soon, the two gathered in front of the screen and clicked on the drawings with expectation.
Then Fang Qiming’s eyes lit up.
The overall appearance of this camera is similar to that of an ordinary micro-single, except that it lacks many function buttons, making it look more simple and beautiful.
If everything goes well, this will be the first camera product of Daqin Optics!
Fang Qiming simply glanced at the size and imagined how it would feel in his hand.
It’s a bit small.
Kangchi’s design direction should be a smaller and lighter route than Soni.
So the positioning should be entry-level.
As the first product of Daqin Optics, starting from the entry-level, this is also reasonable.
However, when Fang Qiming saw the size of the CMOS, he was a little confused.
36X24mm?
135 full-frame camera! What kind of entry-level is this? !
Even more confused than Fang Qiming was He Yongbin.
The reason is simple.
No matter how wide-eyed He Yongbin stared, he could not find any trace of their own design in the design drawing of this camera!
What happened?
Where are the improvements and upgrades promised?
You can tell from the drawings that they are completely different products from the cameras they made.
So this must have been designed in advance before Mr. Kang acquired them! Think about it, is it possible to improve and upgrade so quickly? And asking them to design a camera by themselves first, is just Mr. Kang’s test for them!
But He Yongbin couldn’t figure it out. How did the answer sheet they handed in reach the “qualified line”?
Design? Performance? Workmanship? That’s impossible!
He Yongbin is very self-aware, so, it can only be efficiency! To build that camera from scratch in one month is actually a bit of a test of the team’s collaboration and efficiency.
So Mr. Kang is a person who attaches great importance to efficiency! If it is true as Fang Qiming said, Daqin Optics does not advocate overtime, and overtime is also paid double, then this kind of corporate culture just proves that President Kang attaches great importance to efficiency.
So He Yongbin quickly went through the drawings and turned off the computer.
”Huh? What are you doing?”
Because He Yongbin suddenly sped up and flashed through the drawings one by one, Fang Qiming did not see the specific design details at all.
Just when he wanted He Yongbin to slow down, this guy turned off the computer directly…
Is he trying to guard against him, the general manager of Daqin Optics? Facing Fang Qiming’s questioning, He Yongbin just rubbed his temples gently, then said calmly while packing up: “Go home and rest, conserve your energy, and start fighting tomorrow.”
He Yongbin also secretly added in his heart: “Anyway, you can’t understand it…”
”…”
Fang Qiming’s mouth twitched, and he didn’t say anything for a long time.
Speaking of which, this He Yongbin is also a bit interesting.
Although he is vigorous and resolute in doing things, he often does things without saying a word, regardless of whether his ideas are feasible or not. This is a word that stands out: reckless.
Just like just now,
He turned off the computer without even saying hello.
When working with him, you can never guess what his next move will be…
If this kind of person is allowed to let himself go, no one knows what he can come up with. He is not suitable to be the leader of the project at all.
But if he is given a direction and his room for development is restricted, his work efficiency is impeccable…—— Under the command of He Yongbin, the camera R&D department of Daqin Optics began to operate rapidly the next day.
They quickly disassembled and analyzed the drawings, studied the production ideas, and tried every means to reduce the manufacturing costs. Finally, they threw the unsolvable problems back to Kang Chi.
Not at all stubborn.
In fact, if they put more effort into some problems, they can barely solve them, but the efficiency of solving them is definitely not as high as that of the R&D department of Datang Heavy Industry, so He Yongbin’s handling method made Kang Chi quite satisfied.
While developing the camera, Kang Chi did not neglect the lens, which was a work that had to be done simultaneously.
Otherwise, if the camera is built but there is no usable lens, it would be a waste of time.
Kang Chi directly sent the data of the Daqin-Hero bayonet to the lens design department in Dongyang, asking them to redesign the original lens products of Daqin and change them to the Hero bayonet.
Kang Chi has also designed the autofocus module of the lens in advance. While changing the opening, they also have to find a way to add this module. If they encounter a problem that cannot be solved, they can just ask Kang Chi directly.
At the same time, Zhang Qing, who was busy promoting the Datang Heavy Industry project in Dongyang, also received another important task from Kang Chi: to set up Dahan Core Technology Co., Ltd.
Many people will immediately think of the Hanxin incident that shocked the whole country when they see this name.
Kang Chi is not afraid of being shy at all. He is just so tough on purpose.
Just like putting the first test of the oil-collecting insect in Fushun, silently declaring war on the little book that plundered China’s resources in Fushun.
He wants to face the shame and uncover this scar that no one dares to uncover in the semiconductor industry.
Then redefine the word Hanxin and completely heal this scar!
Otherwise, this word will always be the weak point of the Chinese.
The newly established Dahanxin Industry, like Dahan Silicon Industry, is affiliated to Dahan Technology and is a subsidiary of Longteng Technology Group.
The initial scale will not be large, with an estimated total investment of 40 billion. It is mainly responsible for making chips for its own use and is not prepared to undertake the foundry business of other companies for the time being.
After all, chips are not something that can be made directly just by having equipment. It is safer to build a production line with low production capacity in the early stage and accumulate certain talents and manufacturing experience. And Kang Chi plans to make camera graphics cards and the like by himself.
Maybe by then, the production capacity will not even meet his own needs…
The new company was finally settled in Gangcheng, which is only more than 200 meters away from the Gangcheng headquarters of Dahan Silicon Industry.
The reason for choosing Gangcheng is not only the convenient supply of silicon wafers, but also an action by the leaders of Gangcheng City, which made Kang Chi shoot the factory in Gangcheng without hesitation.
They laid the foundation of the factory building for Kang Chi in advance!
Since the integration of Dahan Silicon Industry and Silicon Communication Technology, the leaders of Gangcheng have been worried that Kang Chi will shift the development focus of Dahan Silicon Industry from Gangcheng to Pingjiang.
Fortunately, the second phase of Dahan Silicon Industry has no intention of stopping. Now the installation of the second phase of equipment has entered the final stage, and the official production is just around the corner.
This made Mayor Huang feel a lot more at ease.
But then, the news that Datang Heavy Industry settled in Dongyang made them sleepless all night.
Although they didn’t know the specific investment amount of Datang Heavy Industry, they didn’t know how Kang Chi got the money, and they didn’t even know what it was made for.
But as long as you go to Guangdi Village in Dongyang and take a look around, you can feel how big the investment is this time.
The leaders of Gangcheng kept thinking,
Compared with Dongyang or other cities, what else does Gangcheng have that can attract Kang Chi?
They took the initiative to stand in Kang Chi’s perspective and pondered Kang Chi’s pain points.
Finally, by analyzing the development history of Dahan Silicon Industry and Datang Heavy Industry,The current situation of the factory, they believe that what limits Kangchi’s development speed is the speed of factory construction and the initial start-up funds! When they learned through special channels that Kangchi had started researching chip manufacturing equipment in October this year, they immediately smelled a glimmer of opportunity.
At first, they were worried that Datang was a company used to make chips, but after visiting Dongyang, they immediately dispelled this concern.
A chip-making company does not need such a large piece of land, and the foundation of the factory is also different, so Datang Heavy Industry should be a genuine “heavy industry enterprise”.
If Kangchi wants to make chips, he must build a factory!
If Gangcheng invests in advance and helps Kangchi solve the problem of factory construction, then when he wants to build a wafer factory, Gangcheng will definitely be his best choice!
However, building a factory in advance is undoubtedly a very risky thing.
Because the factory building of a wafer factory has a much higher standard than that of an ordinary factory.
Wafer production is very afraid of vibration. If special measures are taken, even if a large truck passes by nearby, the vibration will affect production.
So the foundation of the wafer factory must be very deep, and many stable and earthquake-proof facilities must be built.
This requires them to conduct field investigations and research, and then invest huge sums of money to build it according to the high standards of the wafer factory.
But what if it is built, and Kang Chi does not have the lithography machine? Based on their understanding of Kang Chi, the industries he has laid out are all technologies developed by himself. If he can’t get the lithography machine, he will definitely not build a wafer factory.
What will happen to the factory built according to the high standards of the wafer factory? For this reason, Mayor Huang made several calls to Kang Chi some time ago to test his attitude.
Of course, he couldn’t say the problem too directly,
Otherwise, it might have the opposite effect, making Kang Chi think that Gangcheng was forcibly kidnapping him.
He could only analyze his real thoughts indirectly through chatting.
After basically confirming that Kang Chi did have a plan to build a wafer factory, he and Secretary Yuan finally made a decision together and asked Gangcheng City Investment to apply for a loan of 2 billion yuan to lay the foundation according to the standards of a wafer factory next to Dahan Silicon Industry! For economically developed cities, 2 billion may be just a drop in the bucket.
But for Gangcheng, whose annual fiscal revenue is less than 10 billion, this is undoubtedly a gamble.
When other cities are spending tens of billions or hundreds of billions to gamble on characteristic tourist towns, temple statues, and real estate, they are taking a different approach and betting on the opportunity for a technology industry to settle in, which is very special.
Fortunately, they did win the gamble.
When Kang Chi decided to shoot a wafer factory, there were actually two places to consider.
One is Pingjiang and the other is Gangcheng.
Being close to the silicon wafer production base facilitates the cooperation between the two brother companies.
When Mayor Huang learned from Kang Chi that he had officially invested in the construction of a wafer factory and asked about the policies of Gangcheng, his heart was so excited that it almost jumped out! In this round,
Gangcheng won!
Kang Chi was also shocked and surprised to learn that Gangcheng had already laid a good foundation for him.
“Did you invite a fortune teller, or did you plant an eyeliner in my place?”
“How is it possible!” Mayor Huang explained quickly, “Mr. Kang, please don’t misunderstand. We are just thinking about the problem from the perspective of investors and helping investors solve their problems…”
Kang Chi pondered for a moment.
He recalled the conversation Mayor Huang had with him on the phone before, and it seemed that they did talk about the wafer factory.
It was probably at that time that they started to think about it…
”You are so considerate, I have no reason to refuse… How much did it cost to build the foundation? Send me a list later, and we will ask engineers to inspect it. If the conditions are met, we will buy it at the normal market price, but if it is too high, we will not quote it.”
”Don’t worry, Mr. Kang, we know what to make and what not to make.”
”Well, in addition, this kind of behavior can’t be repeated, otherwise other cities will imitate it after it gets out, and the consequences will be disastrous…”
”Understood.” Huang Shichang quickly assured, “Don’t do it again, don’t do it again!”
In the end, both sides agreed that Kang Chi asked them to help build it in advance.
So far, Kang Chi’s layout and expansion of the semiconductor industry has basically come to an end.
The next main development direction is to doFrom big to strong, it is time to fight against foreign technology giants. —— It is late December and Christmas is coming soon. In order to have a happy Christmas holiday, most European M companies will hold year-end meetings and reports before Christmas. ASML is also the same this year. CEO Wen excitedly announced at the summary meeting that ASML achieved net sales of 21.2 billion euros (about 156.2 billion RMB) this year, with a gross profit margin of 50.5% and a net profit of 5.6 billion euros (about 41.2 billion RMB). Among them, the Chinese market contributed 3.7 billion euros in sales, an increase of 18% year-on-year, accounting for 21% of its total sales, and has become ASML’s second largest market. And this is when they haven’t even sold a single EUV lithography machine to China! Finally, Wen confidently predicted to the board of directors that the company’s net sales next year will achieve at least a 25% increase. The source of confidence is the rapid development of China’s semiconductor market.
At the same time, China did not dislike their old DUV lithography machines when it could not buy high-end EUV lithography machines.
But Eugen Hopkins was not so optimistic.
He directly threw out a “China Lithography Machine R&D Progress Analysis Report” submitted by his subordinates and retorted: “As far as I know, China’s lithography machine research and development has made considerable progress.”
”Modu Microelectronics’ 28nm process DUV lithography machine may be mass-produced at any time. In terms of EUV lithography machines, they have also solved the most critical light source problem!”
After hearing this, Peter Wen Ningke couldn’t help frowning: “Mr. Hopkins, although I also think that China will sooner or later break through the technology of lithography machines, the time will definitely not be so fast.”
”You said they may mass-produce 28nm lithography machines at any time. This anytime seems to have been anytime for several years. As a result, I Have you seen this lithography machine on the market? ”
”As for the EUV light source you mentioned, if it is the one from Changchun Institute of Light, then I have heard of it too.”
”DPP technology route 500W power? Do you believe it yourself? Those are just rumors, and even their own official media have not confirmed it.”
”This is not the Congress of the United States. I don’t think you need to come up with such alarmist reports to scare your own people. In any case, the fact is that the most advanced lithography machine they can mass produce is only a low-end 90nm lithography machine.”
It rained for half a month and finally the sky cleared up. It happened to be the weekend and I wanted to take my daughter out to play.
I thought about posting two chapters together last night, but I didn’t finish writing until more than three o’clock last night, so it’s a little later today, but I’m posting two chapters together~ (End of this chapter)
