Chapter 44 Mr. Zhang
ZTE International, Xu Cong led the Sugon Semiconductor team to formally meet with ZTE International’s reception team.
Although Xu Cong said that he is now prosperous in the Internet field, his reputation in the physical technology and semiconductor fields is not obvious.
Not to mention that Sugon Semiconductor, which was established less than a year ago, is a small and transparent existence in the entire semiconductor industry.
As the business receptionist of ZTE International this time, Liang Tong believes that this cooperation with Sugon Semiconductor is just an ordinary cooperation, and naturally the corresponding reception etiquette is relatively ordinary.
However, when Xu Cong told Liang Tong the integrated circuit design drawings and requirements of the corresponding chip, Liang Tong also realized that this cooperation was different from previous cooperation.
From the correspondingly complex integrated circuit design drawing, one can see at a glance that there is a fundamental gap between the design of this chip and the current mainstream chips.
At the same time, the demand for 128 nanometers is even more difficult for Liang Tong.
"Sir, our company's top technology is currently a 196nm process production line. As for 128nm, I'm afraid no semiconductor foundry around the world has such technology!"
Liang Tong said to Xu Cong with a hint of regret.
The current 200nm process is basically considered to be the top foundry level in the industry.
128nm! Only exists in relative theory, and today’s major chip semiconductor foundries are still unable to truly break through the 128nm barrier.
"Manager Liang, I hope to meet your chairman, Mr. Zhang Rujin! I have something very important to discuss with Mr. Zhang!"
Seeing Liang Tong's apologetic look, Xu Cong did not choose to leave directly, but chose to face the head of ZTE International directly.
After all, some things still need to be discussed with the most top-notch senior people, not the Liang Tong in front of them now.
Liang Tong also hesitated slightly after hearing Xu Cong's words.
As the current head of ZTE International and a leader in the domestic semiconductor field, Zhang Rujin still has to deal with a lot of things every day.
It is not easy to meet Zhang Rujin.
However, Liang Tong feels that Sugon Semiconductor is no ordinary person this time, and he can find out the clues from just seeing the extremely precise integrated circuit design drawing.
"I will help you arrange this matter, but Mr. Xu needs to wait for some time. After all, our chairman is also quite busy!"
Liang Tong agreed to Xu Cong's request and left his contact information.
Xu Cong also temporarily took his team to a hotel in a nearby city, settled down temporarily, and waited for the meeting with Zhang Rujin.
In the office of the chairman of ZTE International Headquarters, Zhang Rujin looked at Liang Tong who came to report, with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.
"128nm, this is the boundary that the entire semiconductor industry is now actively looking for breakthroughs. The other party actually proposed to use the 128nm process technology to manufacture chips?"
After hearing the news, Zhang Rujin also showed a little disbelief on his face.
128nm, this has always been a hurdle for the entire chip semiconductor field!
Once this hurdle has been crossed, the semiconductor field will usher in a new leap forward.
Zhang Rujin, who was leaning on the office chair, fell into deep thought. At this time, his interest in Sugon Semiconductor was directly increased a lot.
Especially when I heard that Sugon Semiconductor had designed a very excellent and precise integrated circuit design, Zhang Rujin became more curious.
"Find an opportunity to meet the Sugon Semiconductor team. Tomorrow afternoon is a good time!"
"I heard that Xu Cong, the chairman of Sugon Semiconductor, is a good young man. He has made a career in the Internet industry not long after graduating from university..."
Zhang Rujin quickly agreed to this meeting. To be honest, Zhang Rujin was quite interested in Sugon Semiconductor and Xu Cong behind Sugon Semiconductor.
It was the afternoon of the next day, and Xu Cong finally met Zhang Rujin, who was well-known in the semiconductor field.
In addition to founding ZTE International, Zhang Rujin also founded a number of corresponding semiconductor companies, which have promoted the development of domestic semiconductor technology.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"
"Xu Xiaoyou!"
Xu Cong sat in the guest seat in the conference room. Zhang Rujin beside him was boiling water and slowly pouring tea for Xu Cong.
The two of them were like friends who had known each other for a long time, sitting on their seats chatting with each other.
As the two continued to chat, the topic gradually turned to "128 nanometer process"!
"The 128-nanometer process is a common problem in our entire semiconductor field. Your company wants us to OEM 128-nanometer chips. I'm afraid our company doesn't have the strength yet!"
Zhang Rujin held the teacup in his hand and slowly said to Xu Cong.
The 128-nanometer process is a major problem that the entire semiconductor field attaches great importance to.
ZTE International also has a dedicated R&D team, and the corresponding R&D teams are personally led by Zhang Rujin.
It just took more than a year of efforts by the R&D team, but they still couldn't find the opportunity to break through 128 nanometers.
"To be honest, Mr. Zhang, I do have a way for your company to break through the 128nm limit, but this method will take a lot of time to verify and implement!"
Xu Cong naturally has the technology to break through the 128 nanometer mark, but it takes a lot of time and energy to explore and verify the corresponding technology from theory to reality.
After listening to Xu Cong's words, Zhang Rujin thought that the other party was joking with him, but looking at the other party's calm and steady look, he began to hesitate in the words he put on his lips.
"Really... If what you say is true, we, ZTE International, are willing to exchange 7.5% of the company's shares for this key technology!"
Zhang Rujin looked at Xu Cong sincerely, and even took the lead in proposing the conditions for repayment.
Zhang Rujin is a smart person.
Xu Cong is also a smart person.
At the same time, both of them are businessmen, so Zhang Rujin naturally understands that the other party will not give some top core technologies to him in vain.
Of course, the premise is that Xu Cong can come up with the technology to break through the 128nm process technology.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, I just happened to bring some relevant technical information. If Mr. Zhang is interested, you might as well take a look!"
Xu Cong had already made preparations when he went to ZTE International. The technical information prepared this time was only part of it, but the overall technical level can be seen from part of it.
Zhang Rujin looked at the pile of information Xu Cong took out from his briefcase and took it directly without hesitation.
At this time, I was wearing glasses and carefully watching the information provided by Xu Cong.
As the information continued to be viewed in depth, Zhang Rujin's expression gradually changed from relaxed to solemn, and finally he slowly became addicted to it.
Xu Cong just sat silently and looked at Zhang Rujin who had already sunk in. He slowly picked up the tea cup and slowly tasted the tea in his hand.
To be honest, the tea the other party used for the reception was really good. If I had the chance, I would get some from the other party.
After studying it carefully for almost half an hour, Zhang Rujin also had a look of shock on his face.
Although we have not seen the entire corresponding technical system, we can still get a glimpse of it from the currently published information.
"Mr. Xu, why don't we sign the contract now!"
Zhang Rujin was anxious. In his opinion, there was a huge treasure in front of him. If he missed it in vain, he would definitely regret it.
Even now, Zhang Rujin can't wait to sign a contract with Xu Cong to get this technology into his company as soon as possible and let the company break through the 128 nanometer mark as soon as possible.
Xu Cong didn't find it strange at all about the other party's attitude.
After all, the heads of many semiconductor companies now even dream of breaking through the 128nm barrier, but now that there is such an opportunity in front of them, how can they miss it in vain?
Xu Cong did not refuse this. Now Sugon Semiconductor still needs ZTE International for help.
Chapter completed!
