Chapter 1214 Promoting the Chip Business
When Lin Bufan returned to Hangzhou, he immediately devoted himself to the chip business.
He communicated with the two founders of Samsara Chip Company.
One is Zhao Xuebing and the other is Wu Sikai.
Samsara Company first produced MP4 and player chips, which were low-end market chips. After that, it took a year to enter the mobile phone chip market. Although it produced 98-nanometer chips, they were far from comparable to foreign chips.
Companies compete. In 1999, the latest foreign chips were 58 nanometers.
Lin Bufan knew this very well.
Even now, there are few countries that can produce chips.
Yes, it's the country.
First of all, you must know that making chips requires a photolithography machine, and a photolithography machine has hundreds of patents. It was developed by integrating patents and technologies from several countries, so the photolithography machine is still a monopoly until now.
This has brought great resistance to the mobile phone industry and communications industry in Yanxia. If the barrel of the gun is in the hands of others, it will always be controlled by others.
Lin Bufan actually does not need to enter the chip market, but as an aspiring reborn, he not only hopes that he can get rich, but also hopes that his country will prosper and not be bullied by other countries.
Furthermore, Lin Bufan also hopes to use the chip issue to completely bring down the Chu family.
Lin Bufan's plan is to let the Chu family invest heavily, use the funds to develop the chip business, then transfer the results, deliberately manufacture substandard chips, put them on the market, and finally go bankrupt.
There are great risks here. One is that the Chu family are not fools and will definitely send a supervision team into the chip factory to participate in the most core links.
But there is an advantage. Lin Bufan knows what will happen in the future and knows the distance Yanxia Chip has traveled. He can choose a suitable node and do things seamlessly.
Shanghai, Hailan Hotel.
Chu Yuyan mobilized funds again and started the second round of investment. In the previous round, 2 billion funds had been invested in Future Chip Technology Company.
The company currently established by the Chu family and Lin Bufan is Future Chip Technology.
The Chu family holds 60% and Lin Bufan holds 40%.
In fact, regarding the holding, Chu Yuyan and Chu Xiongba had discussed that it should be 55-50, so that Lin Bufan would not suffer too much, and it was Lin Bufan who brought up the chip issue.
Chu Xiongba disagreed, saying that the manufacturing of chips will still require help from the government. When the time comes, he can come forward to favor taxation and policies.
In addition, Chu Xiongba also said that although he holds 60% of the shares, he only has 55% say in the company's regulations, and Lin Bufan is also the chairman of Future Chip Technology, while Chu Yuyan serves as the general manager, which is also the CEO.
Chu Yuyan also had doubts about Lin Bufan, saying that everyone paid the same amount, but you get 40% of the equity. Aren't you angry?
Lin Bufan said that he just wanted to make chips and wanted the country's chip industry to be at the forefront and not be bullied by other foreign companies.
Chu Yuyan instantly felt that Lin Bufan was not only a businessman, but also an ideal entrepreneur.
The Future Chip Technology Factory was built at Road No. 1110 in the southern suburbs of Hangzhou, covering an area of several hundred acres. It used to be a factory that produced auto parts. After renovation, the first assembly line has already come out.
Lee Jae-wook has been busy in the factory area. Producing chips requires a lot of preparations.
He currently serves as the chief engineer of Future Chip Technology.
"The assembly line has been sorted out, but the MP6 photolithography machine needs to be purchased, but I think it will be very difficult to purchase. I am afraid that Shanxing Group will mess around behind the scenes."
Shanxing Group is the largest consortium in Hancheng and the first consortium in Asia to own photolithography machines.
Li Zaixu was originally the chip research and development team leader of Shanxing Group. After he was hired by Lin Bufan, he caused dissatisfaction with Shanxing Group.
Lin Bufan smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the lithography machine. It will arrive in a few days. How long will it take for the finished product to be produced after it arrives?"
"It will take a month at the fastest." Li Zaixu said.
Lin Bufan nodded slightly, knowing that this was already the fastest time. Chips are high-tech. If it were domestic technicians, they might not be able to produce a 58-nanometer chip in half a year.
Lin Bufan knows that the development route of chips will continue to progress, from LED chips to A-bionic chips, and to 2NM (nanometers).
There is a big problem, that is, the chip talents are all abroad and need to be poached.
He has asked Zhao Yuanjie of the CVC Foundation to recruit talents in Citigroup, and after destroying the Chu family, he will re-establish a chip company.
In other words, future chip technology will be the product of annihilating the Chu family.
Shanghai, Blue Sky Hotel.
Chu Yuyan currently lives in this hotel.
In the morning, 2 billion funds have been allocated from the CCC Chu Family Private Foundation, and her affairs in Shanghai have come to an end for the time being.
The remaining 6 billion funds need to be sold off some stocks and withdrawn from the futures market, which will take at least 2 months.
It started to rain unknowingly outside the window, and her mood was complicated. First, she was worried about whether there would be problems with the 10 billion chip investment. Once there was a problem with the 10 billion, the Chu family's funds would be stretched thin.
But then I thought about it, if the chip is made, it will be hundreds of billions in revenue. At least for 10 years, the Chu family will be at the forefront of science and technology in the hot summer.
Rain always makes people feel melancholy. Chu Yuyan went to the coffee shop on the first floor. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would have a cup of coffee.
She sat by the window and looked at the passers-by outside the window. There was a young couple without an umbrella. The boy covered the girl's head with his clothes, and then ran quickly towards the bus stop.
Suddenly, Chu Yuyan felt a sense of loneliness. Could it be that she really wanted to grow old alone?
When I looked across the street, I saw a familiar figure.
The figure was wearing a black raincoat and looking out the window.
That person is Linghu Wudi. He will leave Shanghai tomorrow, so he came to see his daughter at the end.
"Hey, that person... is that very skilled security guard." Chu Yuyan recognized Linghu Wudi, but she didn't understand why Linghu Wudi showed such an expression, one of parting and one of deepness.
emotions.
Chu Yuyan looked behind her and to the left and right, and after confirming that she was alone, she looked back and saw that Linghu Wudi had disappeared.
