Chapter 169: No partiality to each other, each party shall bear its own profits and losses
After the founding ceremony, the entire Datang Heavy Industry quickly became busy.
Large trucks kept transporting various equipment and materials, some of which were old equipment shipped from Pingjiang, and some were new equipment purchased from all over the country.
As soon as these equipment were transported in, they were quickly installed by more than 10,000 engineers and put into use.
The largest department of the entire Datang Heavy Industry is the oil extractor manufacturing department, which has more than 8,000 people and is headed by Fang Qiang.
This department is divided into ten large groups and one hundred small groups.
Each group is assigned the task of manufacturing dozens to one hundred parts, which are then assembled by the assembly team and finally sent to the final assembly workshop for final assembly.
Therefore, except for a few hundred senior engineers in charge of general assembly, most people still know nothing about what they have made even if they have worked in Datang Heavy Industry for more than half a month.
The second is the lithography department responsible for “OEM” EUV lithography for Daqin Optics. This department has 3,000 employees and Yan Hui is the department head.
The remaining 1,000 are the most advanced R&D technicians. They are truly capable of self-development and are good at R&D innovation rather than production and manufacturing.
These people belong to the company’s mobile and flexible team, directly under the command of Kang Chi, and go wherever they are needed.
At present, the main task assigned to them by Kang Chi is to assist the other two departments to complete the installation of the company’s instruments and equipment, and assist them to quickly enter the production state.
If you are free, you can propose a scientific research project yourself, which will be reviewed and approved by Kang Chi, or you can choose to hang it on the task board, similar to small projects such as the miniaturization and diversification of automatic food processors.
Just as Datang Heavy Industry was gradually getting on track, a solar power station in a desert in South Asia began to take shape after months of construction.
To the northeast of this solar power station is a Yadan landform formed by wind erosion. These earthen walls are like ancient castles, standing quietly in the desert.
At this time, two men in yellow camouflage uniforms were lying on the waist of an “ancient castle”, quietly observing the solar power station in the distance through telescopes.
”What are these Chinese guys doing?”
After putting down the telescope, Byters couldn’t help but say a line he had said countless times.
“It’s obvious that they are going to mine the shale oil below.”
”I know, but they have drilled six oil wells and built such a large power station. Where is the oil? Why haven’t they produced a single drop of oil?”
”Perhaps, they are conducting an extraction experiment here? But the experiment failed?”
”Experiment? Are they crazy? They came all the way to PK country to build such a large solar power station to conduct shale oil extraction experiments? The hundreds of billions of tons of resources in China are not enough for their experiments?”
”Uh… I think it’s better to leave this problem to the higher-ups. Now I just hope that this group of people can quickly end this damn experiment so that I can go home and take a comfortable hot bath. Otherwise, if this continues, even lice will eat us!”
”It’s better to pray that the higher-ups will send someone to replace us than to expect them to end the experiment…”
In fact, they have discussed this topic several times almost every day,
And the results of each discussion seem meaningless, but they still enjoy it.
In other words, after lurking in this place where no one lives for nearly a month, Baiters and his teammates had to find something to talk about.
Otherwise, they would be so bored that they would go schizophrenic.
Just after the two finished the topic, another group of teammates quietly came up and exchanged positions with them.
Bates immediately smiled and packed up his equipment, ready to go back to the shelter to take a comfortable nap during the hottest period of the noon sun…—— The spring breeze in March began to blow quietly across the earth.
The R&D department of Daqin Optical Cameras received feedback from Kang Chi’s project at the beginning of the year and found that Kang Chi actually helped them directly and solved almost all the key problems. They were so surprised that they couldn’t even speak.
However, after Wu’an’s R&D experience, their ability to receive is no longer the same as before.
He Yongbin even silently imagined Kang Chi smiling and saying to him: Basic operations are not six.
No sense of disobedience. GuanAfter all the key problems were solved, the remaining ones were some minor matching problems. He Yongbin directly announced that the project had entered the prototype manufacturing and debugging stage.
Only three weeks later, Kang Chi received a mobile phone prototype sent by He Yongbin.
This mobile phone is actually an ordinary mobile phone on the market. He Yongbin dismantled its original camera, replaced it with the lens module they developed, and debugged the system’s camera driver.
After Kang Chi simply tested it a few times and confirmed that the effect was in line with his design expectations and there was no major deviation, he called Fang Qiming.
“Have you calculated the R&D and manufacturing costs of mobile phone lenses?”
“Yes.” Fang Qiming answered quickly, “So far, the R&D costs are about 140 million, of which CMOS tape-out costs are 90 million, accounting for the largest share.”
”If we let Shencheng Silicon Industry to manufacture CMOS, and we are responsible for making lenses ourselves, the manufacturing cost of a camera module of 100,000 units will be about 150, and if it exceeds one million, it can be reduced by about 20 to 30.”
Kang Chi nodded: “The first production line of Dahan Xinye will be put into production next month, and there is no need to bother Shencheng Silicon Industry in the future.”
The “trouble” Kang Chi mentioned here is actually true.
The first lithography machine made by Kang Chi is currently used by Shencheng Silicon Industry, and with the current gap and market for domestic high-end process chips, they have no shortage of orders at all.
But Kang Chi always asks them to tape out, and every time they tape out, they have to debug the machine, which is equivalent to Kang Chi’s laboratory, which is a waste of time.
So they have long been eager for Kang Chi’s own wafer factory to be built quickly, so as not to delay their production plan…
After a moment of silence, Fang Qiming could not help but say: “If Dahan Xinye is the foundry, then I can’t determine the cost for the time being.”
”You don’t have to worry about any brother companies. Whatever the foundry fee of Shencheng Silicon Industry is, Dahan Xinye will only charge so much. Let them bear their own profits and losses.” Kang Chi answered directly, “If the foundry fee they offer is too much higher than the market price in the future, I will also allow you to find another foundry.”
After listening to this, Fang Qiming couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It is indeed more convenient for their group to build a wafer factory in a sense, but this actually limits their right to choose.
The most important data to measure the strength of a wafer factory, in addition to production capacity and process, is the yield rate.
If the production yield rate is low, then its foundry fee will definitely not be cheap.
As a new wafer fab, Dahan Xinye enjoys the priority supply of equipment resources from the group, but its technical and talent base cannot be compared with those of old wafer fabs such as SMIC and Shencheng Silicon Industry, and the yield rate in the early stage is estimated to be not very high.
If Dahan Xinye is allowed to quote based on the actual production cost, the foundry fee is likely to be much higher than that of Shencheng Silicon Industry,
This will increase the product cost of Daqin Optics and compress their profitability.
And Kangchi’s current intention is obviously to make its subsidiaries impartial, responsible for their own profits and losses, and speak with strength.
Although Kangchi will eventually bear the profit or loss, at least the people below will not be bound by this, and will not have a carefree mentality because the customers are all their own, or even justify killing their own people, and finally completely lose their market competitiveness.
This phenomenon has happened to some state-owned enterprises before, and it has gradually improved after several rounds of reforms.
After discussing the manufacturing process of the lens, Kang Chi and Fang Qiming finalized the shipping price of this mobile phone lens.
699.
This price is definitely expensive for mobile phone lenses.
But with an initial investment of 140 million, even if you can make 500 by selling one lens, the shipment volume must be around 250,000 to barely make back the investment. Only more can make money, and less will lose money.
In fact, Fang Qiming thinks that with the performance of this mobile phone lens, it is not an exaggeration to sell it for 999, but Kang Chi thinks that now is the stage of grabbing the market, and we still have to stick to the principle of low price and high volume.
Even if the market is grabbed and it is really time to cut leeks, it should be cut in overseas markets. In the Chinese market, he will always focus on high quality and low price! After finalizing some details, the two ended the call.
Next, Fang Qiming personally led the team to visit major mobile phone manufacturers to discuss cooperation.
