Screen panels and chips are the most important components in smartphones.
It is also the part with the highest technical content among components.
The chips are divided into many different types, including radio frequency chips, Bluetooth chips and a series of sensors related to mobile phones, which can be completely classified into the chip category.
The design of chips requires a lot of money and manpower.
And the production of chips may not be possible only with funds and manpower.
When it comes to chips, there is no way to bypass the lithography machine.
A lithography machine is not just a simple piece of equipment, but a type of production line for chip foundry design.
The photolithography machine includes a series of parts such as a light source, an etching machine, and micro-prismatic coated lenses used to reflect the light source.
In addition to the body of the lithography machine, there is also a special lithography machine workbench, which is specially customized for the corresponding resolution and overlay density.
There are a lot of systems inside the lithography machine, such as lighting system, demoulding table system, automatic focus system, frequency modulation focus measurement system, frame shock absorption system, whole machine control system, whole machine software system, and workbench system.
, silicon wafer transmission system, projection objective lens system, mask transmission system, environmental control system.
It can be said that every system has very precise components and parts.
And the parts of these precision components come from major technology companies around the world. The emergence of a photolithography machine basically requires the joint efforts of global technology companies to manufacture it.
It is for this reason that photolithography machines are known as the crown jewels in the current semiconductor industry.
Nowadays, China has gradually begun to pay attention to the semiconductor field, but due to its relatively late start, it has basically lagged behind for more than ten years.
Xu Cong also has the idea of ​​setting up a chip foundry, but Xu Cong currently does not have the ability to design and produce photolithography machines.
But Xu Cong believes that after a few more years, perhaps China will be able to have the ability to independently produce photolithography machines.
Compared with chips, LCD screen panels are much less difficult to produce.
The screen of most devices now is actually a display, and the display includes an LCD panel and a main control circuit.
Speaking of LCD panels, we have to mention the LED backlight system of the LCD panel.
The backlight system includes backlight panels, backlight sources, diffusers, diffuser sheets and other structures.
These structures form an important part of the screen display.
However, most of the current screen panel technology patents are basically in the hands of some established technology companies in the island country, which has also brought pressure to Xu Cong.
Xu Cong plans to temporarily bypass the island company's patent and use a brand-new screen panel material, so that domestic screens and panels can have a place in the industry in the next period of time.
Longgang!
As the area with the highest concentration of domestic technology companies and manufacturing industries, early domestic manufacturing companies are gathered here.
This also includes screen panel design and production companies.
This time, Xu Cong took direct aim at a company that was about to go bankrupt.
Feiteng Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. is a screen panel company born at the end of the last century. The company has been established for almost ten years.
As a company that has been established for a long time, it has gradually declined due to the fierce competition in the market today.
The current screen panel industry is actually very sad, especially those domestic screen panel manufacturers.
First of all, in terms of the production of screen panels, every time a screen panel is produced and sold, a patent fee needs to be paid to the company in the island country.
Coupled with the high cost of introducing expensive machinery and production lines, the overall profit of a screen panel is not high.
The screen panel companies in the two major regions of Japan and Bangzi have the best technology and craftsmanship in the industry, which allows the screen panel companies in the two regions to occupy the vast majority of the market share.
Low profit! Low share!
This is also constantly compressing the living environment of domestic screen panel companies.
Some domestic screen panel companies rely on capital investment from state-owned enterprises to survive, such as BOE!
Some screen panel companies can also have a place by relying on the introduction of foreign capital and cooperation with the corresponding regional governments, such as China Star Optoelectronics, Tianma Microelectronics, and WeChat No.
Without exception, these surviving screen panel companies have solid backing.
As for some small screen panel companies, the only way to meet them is bankruptcy.
It was precisely because of this that Xu Cong discovered Feiteng Microelectronics, a company with considerable potential.
Feiteng Microelectronics is considered a manufacturer with certain strength among many screen panel manufacturers.
First of all, there are four screen panel production lines, and the factory has more than 200 employees and more than 30 technical research and development personnel.
However, losses year after year have made it difficult for Feiteng Microelectronics to continue operating.
Just in the first half of this year, Feiteng Microelectronics ushered in its first layoffs, which also caused panic within the company.
Yan Zhen, the boss of Feiteng Microelectronics, is also looking for opportunities and wants to transfer the company.
After all, the entire screen panel industry is constantly developing, which means that companies need to continue to invest in screen panels.
Screen panel replacement.
Either you invest your own money in research and development, or you can only choose to buy equipment from better screen panel manufacturers and spend money to obtain their technology patents.
Take last year for example, Feiteng Microelectronics introduced the latest technology and production lines, which cost almost 200 million.
However, the company's overall revenue last year was only a mere fifteen million.
As the boss of the company, Yan Zhen understands that the screen panel industry is a bottomless pit. If he insists on staying in this industry, he may eventually lose all the money he made in the early years.
So, Xu Cong came with enough funds.
And Yan Zhen is also very excited about this.
Now Feiteng Microelectronics is like a hot potato in his hands. Someone who can take over Feiteng Microelectronics has been something Yan Zhen has been looking forward to for a long time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
And Yan Zhen also set his own price.
Two billion! Transfer all shares of Feiteng Microelectronics.
"Two billion, this price may be..."
Xu Cong still hesitated about the price of two billion.
Xu Cong's hesitation was not because the other party's price was higher.
Feiteng Microelectronics' overall equipment and production lines are very complete. If these equipment and production lines were purchased individually, the price would probably exceed 2 billion.
The price set by Yan Zhen was very conscientious, and even Xu Cong could tell from the other party's pricing that he really wanted to get rid of this hot potato.
It's a pity that Xu Cong doesn't have so much money now.
Of course, this is only now. According to the current development of Wanxiang Technology Company, it should be able to earn so much money within half a year.
"I don't have that much money on hand right now!"
Xu Cong's words made Yan Zhen's heart feel cold.
I finally waited for someone to take over, only to find that the other person didn't have much money at all.
"If Mr. Yan can trust me, we can sign an installment agreement for the company's acquisition! The term will be within one year!"
Xu Cong also proposed his own way to solve the matter.
Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment. He had already learned the basic information about Xu Cong before meeting Xu Cong.
Knowing that the other party is the helmsman of Wanxiang Technology Company, which is currently popular in the Internet industry.
The development momentum of Wanxiang Technology Company is strong, and its potential is among the strongest in today's Internet.
And now Yan Zhen also urgently needs to completely transfer out the hot potato of Feiteng Microelectronics Company.
After thinking about it, Yan Zhen also accepted this form of company acquisition.
"Feiteng Microelectronics Company is a company founded by me. I hope Mr. Xu can run it well!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely run Feiteng Microelectronics well!"
Witnessed by the lawyers of both parties, the two formally signed the agreement.
Xu Cong also successfully acquired Feiteng Microelectronics in his own name.
Feiteng Microelectronics is also the second company under Xu Cong’s name and the first physical technology company.
The change of the operator and legal person of Feiteng Microelectronics did not cause any ripples in the entire Internet industry and technology industry, just like a small stone dropped into the sea.
After all, the current trend is the Internet. In this era, the physical technology industry has not received too much attention from netizens and news media.
After Xu Cong successfully acquired Feiteng Microelectronics, he also summoned the company's internal R&D personnel.
"This is a variant of the matrix material for TFT screen production. It needs to be produced in a low-temperature environment!"
"At the same time, this is a new solution for the backlight of the screen. This solution can increase the probability of light penetration, thus improving the brightness of the screen!"
At this time, many R&D personnel sitting in the conference room were shocked when they saw the brand-new screen panel design and production technology displayed on the PPT.
To be honest, they did not expect that their new boss would come up with so many new technologies after entering the company.
The emergence of these technologies can completely improve the quality of the screens produced by the company, and at the same time, it can also bypass the technologies of other foreign screen panel manufacturers as much as possible.
Feiteng Microelectronics, is this about to make a comeback?
At this time, these R&D personnel who were originally considering changing jobs due to layoffs in the first half of the year have now completely given up the idea of ​​changing jobs.
These technologies are enough for Feiteng Microelectronics to have a place in the domestic screen panel field.
"At the same time, the company's screen production line has also begun to make some adjustments, temporarily stopping the production of resistive screen panels and starting to shift to the corresponding capacitive screen screen production!"
After Xu Cong explained the corresponding technology, he announced an adjustment to the company's business.
The current four production lines of the company are all production lines for resistive screens. Of course, the production of resistive screens is relatively simple, and the sales channels are more extensive.
For this reason, resistive screens have become the choice of most domestic screen panel manufacturers.
The current capacitive screen technology actually already exists, but it has not yet been completely popularized.
Due to the difficulty and high cost of corresponding production, and the fact that domestic screen panel companies have always been in the mid-to-low-end field, domestic screen panel companies have not yet entered the field of capacitive screens.
And now Feiteng Company is asked to transfer its production line, which is equivalent to a huge innovation within the company.
This means that the original production line will be completely stopped, and the company will also start to try new research and development technologies and produce capacitive screens.
Early production will inevitably produce a lot of defective products and experimental products.
During this period, the company's income will be completely cut off, and along with many product tests and trial production, it will eventually lose a lot of money.
But if Xu Chongmingbai doesn't take this step, the development of Feiteng Company will be a dead end.
Chapter completed!
