Chapter 443: Licensing 40 nanometer technology? Acquisition of packaging and testing factory (monthly ticket plus updates)

"This Double Eleven promotion includes not only Xingyi Mall and Meiyou Mall, but also e-commerce platforms such as JD.com, Tmall, and Amazon."
"As well as offline flagship stores, specialty stores, and authorized stores, the Double Eleven promotion is fully launched!"
“In cities where Ele.me is launched, you can also enjoy online ordering and door-to-door delivery service by Ele.me riders!”
"The promotion time is limited, everyone is welcome to buy!"
Taking advantage of the launch of cloud data and the gathering of media, Wang Yi directly announced the Double Eleven promotion of Xingyi Technology and Meiyou Technology, which will naturally gain maximum exposure and traffic!
The acquisition of SMIC's Magic City wafer fab requires 12 billion in cash. In addition to the previous investment in the wafer fab and the bulk purchase of photolithography machines, it will cost too much money.
Wang Yi's family has a huge business, but they can't bear it, so they have to regain their health as soon as possible.
And this Double Eleven promotion is the best opportunity!
Once this is done, it is possible to recover more than 20 billion in blood at one time and make a net profit of 10 billion.
Promotional efforts must also be in place!
Clothing and beauty products have high profit margins, and discounts of 30% off the original price over 1,000 yuan are directly discounted to offset sales volume.
Mobile phones, tablets, TVs, all prices reduced by 200-500!
Just in time to take advantage of the Double Eleven promotion, I cleared the inventory of the NVIDIA and Qualcomm versions.
In this way, there will be very little inventory left by the end of the month, and we will then restore the original price and sell it slowly.
Next month, Kunpeng version will be launched!
By then, the performance of the Kunpeng version will soar, and the price will increase by hundreds of yuan!
Electronic products have always been getting cheaper and cheaper, but products like Xingyi Technology, which are getting more and more expensive, are weird.
But Wang Yi is confident.
For example, the Xingyi mobile phone has no rivals at the moment. After upgrading the Kunpeng processor, the performance can be improved a bit, and the price can naturally continue to increase.
On the contrary, only products that are rubbish will have to be reduced wildly, continuously, or even replaced every six months.
For example, the third generation of the iPad was completely destroyed by the Xingyi Tablet. Its lifespan was only half a year, so it had to release the fourth generation in an attempt to turn the situation around!
Without any surprise, this Double Eleven promotion was very successful.
In addition, Xingyi Technology's big sale is not a fake big sale where the price is increased first and then discounted, but a real big sale at the original price, which naturally makes the majority of users go crazy.
Some choose to shop online, some go directly to nearby stores to purchase, some place orders directly online and pick them up offline, or Ele.me riders deliver them to their door...
Focusing on a multi-faceted service.
Whether it's Meiyou Zhenyou's clothing, makeup, or Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs, they all decisively bought and placed orders.
Everyone knows that the Double Eleven promotion is the lowest price this year. Once the event is over and the original price is restored, you will have to wait until after the new year to get such a good price.
As for Double Twelve?
The concept of Double Twelve did not appear last year. This year, regardless of whether Alibaba does Double Twelve or not, Wang Yi will launch the Double Twelve event!
In the past, servers were all rented, and there was nothing we could do if they could not handle the traffic of 618 and Double Eleven.
Now that our own data center has been activated and the server resources are sufficient, it is natural for more people to participate.
After all, the Double Eleven event every year is a carnival for buyers, but also a carnival for sellers, and a harvest feast for the platform!
The trading volume and profit in just these ten days can exceed the previous two or three months!
Wang Yi won't miss it.
Without any surprise, Xingyi Technology’s Double Eleven event was very successful.
One good news after another continues to come out:
[Thirty seconds after the Double Eleven promotion started, Xingyi Mall’s sales exceeded 100 million.]
[One minute after the Double Eleven promotion started, the sales of Meiyou Mall exceeded 100 million. 】
[Double Eleven promotion started for three minutes and fifty seconds, sales on JD.com platform exceeded 100 million]
[Double Eleven promotion started for four minutes and twenty seconds, sales on Tmall platform exceeded 100 million]
[Five minutes after the Double Eleven promotion started, Xingyi Mall’s sales exceeded 300 million!]

Looking at these good news, the marketing department was confused, and the people at the Xingyi Cloud Data Center were also confused.
Even the provincial and municipal leaders who came with Wang Yi to inspect were confused.
It's so fast!
Revenue is too high!
It’s incredible!
You must know that Xingyi Technology’s calculation method is not based on the locked order amount, but the actual payment amount!
These are all real sales!
The leaders couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Director Wang, if this continues, during Double Eleven, Xingyi Technology alone will be able to achieve sales exceeding 10 billion, right?"
Wang Yi nodded: "There is no pressure for tens of billions, and there is no pressure for 20 billion. Plus Meiyou, there is hope to hit 30 billion!"
"Can a pomelo sell for tens of billions in ten days? It's amazing, it's amazing!" The leader was in a good mood.
Meiyou Technology is a company in Jeju, and Jeju has really become a giant!
"Meiyou, Zhenyou has a ten-day sales of over 10 billion, no pressure." Wang Yixiao said.
After all, the unit price of Meiyou is very high, and the customer base is also a group of female users with full spending power. Whenever there is a big sale, the whole army will attack and buy like crazy.
There are also Zhenyou's high-end series, and the price per customer is even more expensive. They are all over one thousand, or even two, three, four or five thousand.
Now that the 30% off promotion for purchases over 1,000 yuan has been launched, users of Meiyou have begun to leapfrog their consumption and buy Zhenyou.
After all, 30% off the price of one thousand Zhenyou is 700, which becomes the price range of Meiyou.
As for consumption habits, once they go up, it is difficult to come down again.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go back from luxury to frugality.
For a time, Meiyou's clothing, cosmetics, and Xingyi Technology's electronic products were all selling like hotcakes.
Wang Yi smiled and said: "Meiyou can exceed 10 billion thanks to Director Hong and all the leaders who gave us all kinds of support when we were first established."
Hearing this, several leaders looked at Director Hong with much more appreciation.
Even the top leaders couldn't help but sigh: "Director Hong has done a great job. It has given us another star company, a clothing giant, which has boosted employment and created GDP!"
"If the leader gives you a reward, it's all within his scope."
Director Hong is in a good mood, this guy Wang Yi will cause trouble.
It is not in vain to fight for resources for Meiyou Technology.
After seeing off several leaders, Wang Yi said decisively: "Quickly, send out all the good news!"
"yes!"
Soon, a piece of news began to shock the entire Internet:
[Double Eleven promotion, in thirty seconds, Xingyi Mall’s sales exceeded 100 million.]
[In ten minutes, Meiyou Mall’s sales exceeded 200 million]
[In half an hour, Xingyi Mall’s sales exceeded 1 billion! 】
[In one hour, online omni-channel sales exceeded 3 billion! 】
Immediately, the whole network was excited!
"Awesome, so awesome, sales exceeded 3 billion in one hour, invincible, really invincible!"
"It's crazy, it's so crazy. At this pace, it won't be sold out until the 11th!"
"Isn't it just that the price is reduced by a few hundred yuan? Everyone is rushing to get it if they need it! What's the point?"
"That's right, you can buy all the colors and configurations I like. What should I buy?"
"There's a guy upstairs, so I bought it first out of respect, and finally the price dropped."

For a time, fans who like Xingyi Technology decisively joined the rush to buy and bought their hands one after another.
Those haters who were hostile to Xingyi Technology were also shocked by the strength of Xingyi Technology. They couldn't help but click on the Jingdong APP and started browsing.
While browsing, I complained: "Damn it! The xphone 2 has sold so many, and the sales volume is five million more than the iPhone 5."
“Made, isn’t it just that it looks better than iPhone 5, has more memory, has a more advanced processor, has a better lens, has a bigger battery, and charges faster than iPhone 5? What’s so great about it!
"
"How about I buy one and try it?"
After cursing, the man placed an order for an xphone 2.
And he comforted himself: "Wait, as long as it doesn't work, I will give you a negative review, return the product, and I will be in trouble for the rest of my life!"
Just saying this, I have a lot of expectations for xphone 2 in my heart.
However, such a tough-talking fruit fan is not one person, but a type of person.
When everyone around you is talking about the iPhone, you will buy it too.
When everyone around you is using Xingyi mobile phones, they will also buy them too.
As social animals, humans are not immune to customs.
Wang Yi looked at the skyrocketing transaction volume in the background, looked at Du Lun, the person in charge of Xingyi Cloud Data Center, and asked:
"How's it going? During this Double Eleven event, traffic surged. Our cloud data center is not under any pressure, right?"
"Chairman, there is no pressure at all. Even if it is five times more popular, there will be no pressure at all!"
"Very good." Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction: "During Double Eleven this time, please work hard. When it's over, we will arrange for you to take paid leave in rotation."
"Thank you, Chairman." Du Lun was in a good mood.
Since the Xingyi Cloud Data Center was delivered, everyone in the entire department has not had a day off.
In the early stage, I was busy installing and debugging the server, and in the later stage, I was busy migrating data.
After finally finishing everything and getting back on track, the first battle started again, preparing for the Double Eleven event!
This made Du Lun and others extremely busy. Fortunately, they got over it immediately and could take turns taking vacations.
The future is bright.
But unexpectedly, Wang Yi changed the topic: "When your rest is over, it's time to prepare for the Double 12 promotion."
Du Lun's mouth twitched: "..."
who I am?
Where am I?
It is true that one wave has not yet subsided, and another wave is coming...
"Chairman, after Double Twelve, it should be over, right?" Du Lun couldn't help but ask.
Wang Yi nodded: "Okay, after all, there is still some time before the New Year Festival."
Du Lun was numb: "!!!"
Double Eleven!
Double Twelve!
New Year's Eve!
Tired, destroy it!
Looking at the hopeless Du Lun, Wang Yi patted him on the shoulder:
"Your department has to work harder in the past few months, but the income is also very high. As long as you work well and don't have any problems, you can get twice the performance! In four months, plus high performance, you will get a year-end bonus."
, you can earn eight months’ money!”
"Eight months' money for four months?" Du Lun's originally gloomy eyes became filled with fighting spirit, and then he stood up:
"Have you heard that? Our department was established late. It stands to reason that we can't get a few months' income, and there is no year-end bonus. But now Director Wang has said that if you work hard for four months, as long as you do well, you can hope to get eight
Monthly income! Work hard and don’t have any problems!”
"receive!"
"The chairman is mighty!"
Everyone spoke one after another and their fighting spirit became high.
If the treatment is right, it is not impossible to be a cow or a horse.
Chinese people have always been the most diligent, hard-working, and striving race, and those who resist are only unscrupulous capitalists.
As long as you can get eight months' salary for four months, it doesn't matter if you work overtime or whatever!
Looking at this scene, Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then left with Song Sining:
"Sining, you will be responsible for the follow-up matters. This is our first Double Eleven, so there must be no problems."
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it myself." Song Sining said with a smile.
"Okay, I have to go to the airport, Flying Magic City. There are a lot of things going on this time, so I have to stay a few days longer."
"Okay, have a nice trip."
Song Sining waved her hand and watched Wang Yi get into the car and leave.
night.
In the presidential suite where Wang Yi was staying in Shanghai, he met Mr. Hu after a busy day: "It's been a hard day today."
Mr. Hu waved his hand, with uncontrollable excitement on his face:
"It's not hard, not hard at all. This time the situation was urgent and we couldn't book an early flight, so we took the earliest high-speed train to Magic City early in the morning. After a day of inspection, there were no problems with SMIC's Magic City 12-inch wafer fab.
All the equipment is first-class, and as long as it is debugged, it can be directly used in the 40nm process."
"Then I'm relieved." Wang Yi was in a good mood: "Now, our chip production capacity crisis has been initially resolved."
"Yes, after signing the contract tomorrow, handover as soon as possible, debugging as soon as possible, and mass production as soon as possible!" Mr. Hu had already planned:
"I have arranged all the people. A group of people arrived today, and another group will arrive tomorrow. The Imperial Capital side is on the right track, and I will take charge of the Demonic City side first."
"Okay, I'll leave all this to you." Wang Yixiao said, "The chip mass production has been solved, and wafer packaging and testing is still left!"
Semiconductors are mainly divided into three areas: chip design, chip mass production, and chip packaging and testing.
In terms of chip design, Xingyi Semiconductor has successfully implemented the research and development and design of 40-nanometer mobile phone chips by incorporating part of the team from Texas Instruments, becoming a first-line company.
As for chip mass production, with the participation of Mr. Hu and many professional talents, mass production of the 40nm process has also been achieved.
Now there is only the last piece left, packaging and testing!
Hu Lao said: "Fortunately, packaging and testing is much simpler and requires much less investment than chip design and chip production."
"In order to facilitate process testing and tape-out packaging and testing, I built a small packaging and testing workshop at the Xingyi Wafer Factory in Imperial Capital, which can realize small-scale packaging and testing."
"And we have already arranged a group of people to develop packaging and testing technology."
"In addition, the packaging and testing of 40 nanometers does not have much technical content. It is more than ten times easier than mass production of chips. It has already been successfully developed."
"Previously, the chips that were taped out were all packaged and tested in the small packaging and testing workshop of Xingyi Wafer Factory, which greatly improved efficiency."
"But the packaging and testing workshop is very small, and large-scale packaging and testing is simply not realistic."
"So Kunpeng 702 has been mass-produced at the Imperial Wafer Factory, and we have to find a third-party packaging and testing factory for packaging and testing. Chairman, we need to make plans early, so as not to delay the process."
"Also, the basebands produced by TSMC have to be handed over to third parties for packaging and testing."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Mr. Hu, it is a bad idea to find a third-party packaging and testing factory, which is not conducive to the confidentiality of our subsequent chips!"
What Wang Yi wants is for Kunpeng chips to be mass-produced, but foreign countries have dark eyes and know nothing.
I was completely confused until it was launched!
This is the effect you want.
Therefore, from chip R&D and design, to wafer mass production, to packaging and testing, we are fully self-reliant!
Only in this way can confidentiality be maintained as much as possible.
"Director Wang, do you want to acquire a packaging and testing factory?" Mr. Hu understood Wang Yi's plan.
"Yes, Mr. Hu, is the packaging and testing technology you developed advanced? Is it immature? Can it be promoted on a large scale?"
"Don't worry, Director Wang, the people who developed the packaging and testing technology were all brought back by me. They are all top international talents. The 40-nanometer packaging and testing technology they developed is very advanced and mature, and can be promoted on a large scale!"
"That's just right. In this way, Mr. Hu will arrange for people to go to ASE to negotiate, and we will acquire ASE's Magic City packaging and testing factory!"
Chips have begun mass production, and Wang Yi has not arranged to contact downstream packaging and testing factories, but has already made plans.
That is not to find a third party for packaging and testing, but to directly acquire a packaging and testing factory.
And ASE's Magic City packaging and testing factory is Wang Yi's target.
It is also a big project for Wang Yi’s trip to the magical city!
"Sun and Moonlight!" Mr. Hu's eyes lit up:
"In 1984, the Zhang brothers from Taiwan founded ASE. It was listed in Taiwan and the United States successively and grew rapidly, becoming one of the world's top semiconductor service providers and a top-notch packaging and testing giant."
"In mainland China alone, ASE has four major packaging and testing plants, but I'm worried that they are unwilling to sell!"
But Wang Yi didn't care: "They will sell it. The current production capacity of the four major packaging and testing factories is not full. In other words, the production capacity of at least one factory is idle, causing huge losses to ASE. As long as I give the price in place, they will
Would be willing to sell.”
Wang Yi remembered that more than ten years later, Zhilu Capital acquired ASE’s four major packaging and testing plants in the mainland and related businesses for US$1.46 billion.
To put it bluntly, the technical content of packaging and testing factories is much lower than that of wafer factories, and there are many competitors. Unless there are enough orders, they can continue to make profits.
But it is obvious that at the moment, upstream wafer fabs such as SMIC do not have enough orders, not to mention the four major packaging and testing plants of ASE, the downstream company, in the mainland. Naturally, they are even more hungry.
In addition, a large number of domestic packaging and testing factories have emerged. With lower prices and similar services, they have taken away a large number of orders.
As a result, the poor performance of ASE's mainland business has led to a decline in revenue and stock price. It is natural to sell one of the companies to make the financial report look better and thereby increase the stock price.
Hu Lao wanted to understand this: "Acquisition is indeed possible, but I am afraid that the price will not be low. ASE's Magic City packaging and testing factory is worth 1.5 billion according to the current market price, but for 1.5 billion, they will definitely not sell it!"
"Spend more, spend more, we exchange funds for time. First, we will take over the ASE packaging and testing factory to package the Kunpeng 702 and Pterosaur 3000 basebands. At the same time, we will build another packaging and testing factory in the Imperial City."
According to Wang Yi's plan, in the future, the Modu Packaging and Testing Factory will be responsible for packaging the chips of the Modu Wafer Factory.
The Didu Packaging and Testing Factory is responsible for packaging and testing chips from the Didu Wafer Factory.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go to ASE to discuss the acquisition," Mr. Hu responded.
Early the next morning.
Wang Yi, Mr. Hu and others came to SMIC’s 12-inch wafer fab in Shanghai.
SMIC Chairman Zhang Wen personally received Wang Yi:
"Director Wang, welcome to SMIC Magic City, no, from now on it will be Xingyi Magic City."
As he said this, Zhang Wen couldn't help but look complicated.
As long as SMIC strives to succeed and masters the 40nm process, it will not hand over such an advanced wafer factory to others.
But it is a pity that SMIC did not live up to expectations.
"Director Zhang, thank you for your love. Don't worry, we will arrange the transfer immediately after signing the contract. If there are opportunities for cooperation in the future, we will definitely give priority to SMIC." Wang Yi spoke sincerely.
Regarding SMIC, Wang Yi originally planned to invest one or two.
However, Wang Yi was extremely disappointed when he saw that the three factions within SMIC were facing tit-for-tat, not focusing on process technology, but only thinking about fighting for power, and the company's development direction was changing day by day.
Only then did he give up the idea of ​​supporting SMIC and instead build his own Xingyi Semiconductor!
Facts show that this is absolutely correct!
SMIC is a mess. If you want to get on the wall, you have to spend several years solving internal problems first.
But now Xingyi Semiconductor is developing rapidly.
In the chip R&D department, in addition to the three mobile phone SOC R&D teams of Williams, George, and Zhang Chao, and Pang Liguo's baseband R&D team, there is also a comprehensive chip R&D department.
The comprehensive chip R&D department mainly develops small chips with special functions.
For example, second-generation fast charging chips, second-generation router chips, second-generation smart home chips, WiFi chips...
There are also some lower-end small chips that don't even use 40 nanometers. 55 nanometers are enough, or even 65 nanometers.
Cost comes first.
As for these low-end small chips, Xingyi Wafer Factory will not produce them on its own and can completely hand them over to SMIC for foundry.
Zhang Wen beamed with joy: "Dr. Wang, you are very particular! Let's cooperate more in the future!"
"That's no problem. We happen to have a Hifi chip that needs to be manufactured. The 55nm process is handed over to SMIC for mass production of 200 million units first!"
This hifi chip was developed by the integrated chip department and will be used in next year’s second generation xbuds and Xiaoai Audio Pro.
In addition, next year’s mobile phones, tablets, and TVs will become more competitive.
By then, independent HIFI chips will be standard equipment for all series.
Therefore, 200 million pills, that much product, can be digested in one year, and it is not even enough.
More importantly, HIFI chips also have scale effects.
Selling each piece for 30 yuan, and producing 200 million pieces, the diluted cost, even if it is a third-party OEM, is only 1 yuan.
It's just that 55nm is enough for this small chip. Xingyi Semiconductor is too lazy to develop 55nm technology and directly lets SMIC manufacture it.
It can also be regarded as support and compensation for SMIC.
"Thank you! Director Wang, thank you so much!" Zhang Wen excitedly held Wang Yi's hand. He thought Wang Yi was just talking and being polite.
But he didn't expect that Wang Yi was serious and directly placed a huge order of 200 million chips.
Even if one pill makes a gross profit of 3 cents, 200 million pills is a profit of 60 million yuan!
Wang Yi acquired SMIC's most advanced wafer fab. Originally, Zhang Wen was somewhat resentful, but now he only thinks that the other party has a handsome appearance.
I just feel that the other party is a bit friendly, the sponsor’s father.
With just one sentence, he gave away a net profit of 60 million!
This is a lot of money for SMIC, which has been losing money every year.
What's more, this is just the beginning. With the size of Xingyi Technology, 200 million is simply not enough, even 200 million a year is not enough.
After all, the annual sales volume of the two flagship mobile phones combined can reach hundreds of millions.
What's more, there are tablets, Xiaoai audio, Xingyi TV, etc., 300 million units a year, all possible.
It can be said that the foundry of hifi chips alone can bring 90 million profits to SMIC, 90 million every year.
What's more, with so many products from Xingyi Smart Home, there will also be other 55nm small chips...
It's all profit.
Zhang Wen understands that Xingyi Semiconductor does not intend to waste resources on low-end processes such as 55nm, and SMIC just happened to take over!
Everyone is happy.
"Dr. Wang, I cannot count your support for SMIC. In this way, the 55-nanometer HIFI chip, with a volume of 200 million units, costs 7 cents, the market price is 1 yuan, and the profit is 3 cents. I will give you a call
10% off, according to 90 cents!"
"Okay!" Wang Yi admired Director Zhang very much.
Don’t look at the fact that each one is only a dime cheaper, which means that SMIC’s profit margin has dropped from 30% to 20%!
One third less.
In this way, all subsequent small chips will be 55 nanometers and handed over to SMIC for foundry.
Afterwards, everyone went inside the wafer fab.
"Director Wang, please, this is SMIC's 12-inch wafer fab in Magic City, with a monthly production capacity of 25,000 wafers. All the equipment is new and is inside, and the workers are also left for you."
Zhang Wen said enthusiastically: "Send someone to check it first and make sure it is correct, and then we will sign the contract."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "No, I can trust Director Zhang!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Zhang Wen was in a good mood.
Mr. Zhou personally promoted the project, and even if he was ten times brave enough, he would not dare to do anything against it.
Unless SMIC doesn’t want to hang out in Shanghai anymore.
Although the 12-inch Modu wafer fab was sold to Xingyi Technology, SMIC still has several 8-inch wafer fabs in Modu.
Subsequently, both parties confirmed that the contract was correct and formally signed the contract.
Not only did they sign a contract to acquire a wafer factory, they also signed a contract to manufacture 200 million hifi chips.
This trip was successfully completed and everyone was happy.
Finally, Zhang Wen stopped talking.
Wang Yi laughed dumbly: "Dr. Zhang, just say it directly. We two don't need to see each other."
"Okay, then I'll say it shamelessly." Zhang Wen sighed:
"It's like this. We were planning to introduce IBM's 45nm technology before, but it never came to an agreement. Now Xingyi Semiconductor is developing its own 40nm process... I would like to ask, Director Wang, are you considering licensing your 40nm technology to external parties?
?”
"To be honest, we will build a new factory in Shanghai with a monthly output of 75,000 wafers, and we want to introduce your 45 nanometer technology."
Wang Yi knocked on the table, already expecting this:
"Director Zhang, we are not considering licensing 40 nanometer technology to external parties for the time being. We will talk about it in two years."
Wang Yi’s meaning is very obvious. In the past two years, 40 nanometers is still considered a high-end process and is worth a lot of money. Of course, it cannot be sold casually!
As for two years from now, I'm afraid that 20 nanometers will be developed, and then 40 nanometers will be a low-end process, and it won't matter whether it can be sold or not.
Semiconductor replacement is so rapid.
"In two years? OK." Director Zhang smiled.
SMIC wants to build a new 12-inch wafer fab in Shanghai, but there is no plan yet. It is a large-scale wafer fab, and it will take two years to build it all.
If there is another problem with funding, it won't be resolved in three years.
Three years later, it seemed just right to purchase Xingyi Semiconductor’s technology.
Wang Yi sighed: "Director Zhang, let me say one more thing. The best thing is to develop self-developed process technology. Isn't your SMIC in a mess right now? Then shift your attention to the development of high-end processes.
.”
"The best way to change internal conflicts is to shift goals and be consistent with the outside world."
Listening to Wang Yi's meaningful words, Zhang Dong was enlightened:
"Director Wang, do you mean to treat Xingyi Semiconductor as an imaginary enemy and give SMIC a huge sense of crisis, so as to divert the current situation of infighting among the three factions and instead focus on research and development of technology to fight against Xingyi Semiconductor?"
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "You can do this."
There will definitely be blockades, blockades and embargoes in the future.
One Xingyi Semiconductor is not enough. It would also be a good thing if SMIC also grows.
Even if there is complete decoupling, we can still be self-reliant.
And with SMIC, it can also share a lot of firepower with Xingyi Semiconductor.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Director Zhang didn't know Wang Yi's thoughts, and he was in awe:
"Director Wang, you are really broad-minded and upright. Strictly speaking, SMIC and Xingyi Semiconductor will be competitors in the future. Not only do you not think about how to suppress us, but you support us in every way. I admire you, thank you."
Wang Yi laughed dumbly: "..."
High-spirited?
Suppression?
He didn't take SMIC seriously at all, so how could he suppress it?
He could only say: "Semiconductors are very important, and domestic semiconductors are at a disadvantage. We should unite as one and be united in dealing with the outside world."
"Yes, see you, Mr. Wang. I'm the host today and we must have a few more drinks!" Mr. Zhang said enthusiastically.
Wang Yi waved his hand quickly: "This is not urgent, I have to go see the leader."
"Yes, yes, this matter is important." Director Zhang suddenly realized: "After the contract is signed, the Magic City Fab Factory will be yours from now on, so I won't bother you."
"Dr. Zhang, walk slowly."
"Wang Dong stays."
Director Zhang glanced at the Magic City Wafer Factory again and left with a complicated expression.
I have made up my mind to hold a high-level meeting in a while to carry out comprehensive reforms, abandon the past method of introducing European and American technologies, and change to comprehensive self-research!
Isn’t it the 45nm process?
If IBM doesn’t want to sell it at a low price, we will develop it ourselves!
Xingyi Semiconductor can produce 40nm process, but we still can’t produce 45nm?
It can be said that this incident completely changed Director Zhang.
Wang Yi’s advice also made Mr. Zhang understand that self-research is the only way out. If you use other people’s technology, you will only get stuck everywhere and be controlled by others.
Wang Yi never imagined that his words would put SMIC on the road to reform and rise ahead of schedule.
As for the rise of SMIC, will it threaten Xingyi Semiconductor?
Wang Yi is not worried. After all, SMIC’s 45nm is still far away, while Xingyi Semiconductor has already started research and development work on 28nm!
With Mr. Hu, the master who broke the 20nm curse in the semiconductor industry, 28nm is a piece of cake, and 20nm is not difficult either.
Mr. Hu said it would be done in one year, but Wang Yi felt that was a conservative statement on his part.
Maybe after just half a year's work, the yield rate of Xingyi Semiconductor's 28nm process reached 70-80%.
Mr. Hu has always been very stable in his work and has high requirements. In his opinion, if the yield rate is less than 85%, it is considered a failure!
In fact, for new processes, a yield rate of 80% is very good.
If this is the case, then the second and third phases of the expansion of the Imperial Wafer Fab will be delivered in the middle of next year, and they can directly adopt the 28nm process!
By then, next summer’s Kunpeng 906 and Kunpeng 905 will be able to achieve self-development and production of 28-nanometer chips!
The xphone 3 will be released in September next year, equipped with Kunpeng 906, which will suppress the iPhone 5S.
By the way, the Snapdragon 805 was defeated half a year in advance, forcing the Snapdragon 810 to continue to overturn!
Chapter completed!
