Chapter 312 Building a fab
"Industrial project? Donghua has metal smelting, machining, precision manufacturing, and technology research and development in Blue City. It is also located at the headquarters. It will build a power plant and also have energy. What other industries are there?"
Chen Lidong was a little undecided about Wang Qinglai's request.
Wang Qinglai was a little reluctant: "Electronics, electronic processing is very popular now, how about you build a processing factory in the city?"
"Making computers? Making mobile phones?"
"Yes, the superiors like this kind of project. Don't you have a factory in Yanjing? You can also build one in Lanshi and make it a branch factory. I will give you the most favorable policy."
Chen Lidong said helplessly: "Boss, if you have been in business, you must understand what crops grow on what land.
Donghua Electronics took over the laid-off employees of Yanjing Radio so that we could start quickly. Our blue market has no foundation in semiconductors.
Not only that, our electronics factory was built in Zhongguancun because 80% of China’s electronic technology people are there.
There are also industrial supporting facilities and a market environment, with 90% of the country’s electronic product dealers concentrated there, making it convenient to purchase materials, commission processing, and order and ship goods.”
Wang Qinglai leaned back and said, "This won't work, and that won't work either. According to you, this is what happens to our blue market?"
Chen Lidong is known as a liar, but when it comes to investment, he cannot be vague and he does not want to make random promises.
There was an eerie silence in the atmosphere, and Wang Qinglai also felt embarrassed.
Wang Qinglai has been a little impatient at work in the past two years, because he has served as a deputy in the government for two terms and it is time to become a full-time official.
After a few seconds of silence, Wang Qinglai also felt a little worried. He was about to light a cigarette and find a place to go down the stairs.
Chen Lidong suddenly said: "Boss, do you think we can build a nuclear power plant?"
Wang Qinglai thought Chen Lidong had a new idea, but he didn't expect it to be a nuclear power plant. The water in this kid's head... must be controlled!
Sigh... I was probably driven into panic by myself, so I said, "Xiao Chen, nuclear power is a national strategy. I remember that the policy from above is 'active, prudent, and foolproof.' I haven't heard of any private enterprise operating a nuclear power plant. Let's
Don’t be anxious, just calm down first.”
After Chen Lidong "calmed down" for a few seconds, he proposed another idea: "Boss, what do you think about us building a wafer fab?"
"Fab?"
Wang Qinglai is relatively unfamiliar with the concept of "wafer". He should have heard of it, but he doesn't understand it.
In his understanding, electronic products mainly include computers, USB flash drives, walkmans, mobile phones, pagers, chargers and other gadgets.
"Yes, a wafer factory is a factory that produces and processes wafers."
Chen Lidong saw that Wang Qinglai did not understand this industry, so he further explained: "Wafers are silicon wafers used to make integrated circuits. Have you seen the chips in computers, right? CPUs and the like are all made of silicon wafers."
"Uh...making chips? Okay! I support this."
"Well... Leader. I can't make chips yet. What I'm talking about is making wafers, which are the raw materials for producing chips. However, after the electronic circuits are etched on the wafers, they become chips."
"Oh... the next step is to make chips, right?" Wang Qinglai hadn't even mentioned the word "chip" yet.
So Chen Lidong had no choice but to do this, this, and so on, coaching the city leader on the evolution process from sand, ingot, wafer to chip.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, it took more than twenty minutes before Wang Qinglai could understand.
"A wafer as big as the palm of your hand can be sold for hundreds of dollars? Is it too exaggerated?" Wang Qinglai asked dubiously.
Chen Lidong sighed and said: "Making chips is more profitable. Now that I have mastered the technology of monocrystalline silicon rods, industrialization is no problem. Slicing has also achieved certain results, but there is still a long way to go before making chips."
Leader, I plan to work with foreign partners to make silicon ingots first and then wafers, and strive to produce chips within five to eight years."
Wang Qinglai said solemnly: "Okay, you are ambitious! I support you."
Where will the factory be built? I think there is still a lot of open space in the steel industry park. Is it enough?
If you don’t have enough, you can apply and I will personally approve it for you.”
Chen Lidong said: "I have fallen in love with a place, but it is still a vast ocean."
Wang Qinglai understood what Chen Lidong was talking about as soon as he heard it, so he asked: "Are you talking about Longxing Island?"
Chen Lidong said: "Well, that's the most suitable place to get wafers. Ingot production, wafer grinding, and future chip manufacturing are all high-energy-consuming enterprises.
One is power consumption. The wafer factory needs to be equipped with a large power plant.
One is water consumption. Considering the water supply situation in our city, I am afraid that it will not be able to meet the consumption of chip processing plants in the future.
Therefore, I plan to plan and build a recycling industrial park on Longxing Island, using natural gas to generate electricity and seawater desalination for water supply to meet wafer production and future chip manufacturing."
Wang Qinglai rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't know much about the semiconductor industry, so he couldn't make up his mind, so he asked, "According to your plan, how much area will this electronics industrial park occupy?"
"Give me at least 40 square kilometers."
“How big is the investment?”
"This is complicated. If it involves reclaiming land from the sea and building a port, I'm afraid it will cost 30 to 50 billion yuan in total."
Wang Qinglai said blankly: "Are you kidding?"
Chen Lidong smiled and said: "Then, leader, let me figure it out with you.
To build a wafer fab abroad, the investment is between 1 billion and 2 billion U.S. dollars. Our project cannot be lost at the starting point, so we calculate it as 2 billion U.S. dollars, which is 17 billion yuan.
Natural gas thermal power plants also need to be planned from a high starting point. In the first phase, 2×300 MW gas steam cycle units are planned to be built, with an estimated investment of about 3 billion. In the future, 1,000 MW ultra-supercritical power generation units will be studied.
The seawater desalination plant must first meet the needs of the thermal power plant and the wafer factory. It is roughly estimated that the daily consumption of fresh water is 50,000 cubic meters. Sam Country is building a seawater desalination plant with a daily output of 95,000 cubic meters, with an investment scale of 95 million U.S. dollars. It is planned according to this standard.
Another 800 million yuan will be invested.
A supporting natural gas terminal must also be built.
You should have heard that we have the underwriting rights for the oil and gas fields in Sakhalin Island in China. I plan to build an LNG terminal in Longdao and a supporting LNG station. The tentative investment is 5 billion.
According to the planning of this industrial park based on 40 square kilometers, land reclamation from the sea and municipal construction, it is estimated based on 100,000 yuan per acre of land, which will cost another 6 billion.
Taken together, it’s more than 30 billion.
By the way, the province originally planned to build an iron ore terminal in Longdao. We have iron ore in Australia. I want to build an iron smelting plant behind the terminal. It is better to grant an ore terminal to Donghua.
Leader, we are building the owner's terminal in Panshan, so we have the experience and strength to build the above projects.
Therefore, we require that the above investment refer to the Panshan model, with Donghua investing and constructing it itself, and the government being responsible for supervision and acceptance.
Sigh... I originally planned to put this package of investments in Panshan, which would be more convenient for centralized command and management.
My ancestral home is in the Northeast, and Panshan is also hungry for investment. If these projects of mine cause trouble for the city's decision-making, just pretend I didn't say anything."
When Wang Qinglai heard this, he knew something was wrong.
This Chen Lidong is waiting to set a trap for him.
Why do you say that?
It's a long story to tell a child without a mother. Building a port on Longxing Island was something Mr. Sun planned in his "National Founding Strategy" at the beginning of the last century.
It is recorded in the strategy: "The port planned here is located at the nearest deep water point of Zhili Bay. - According to our ideal, we will develop this port within a limited period of time, making it as big as Gotham and becoming a hub for world trade.
road"
Since 1992, Lanshi and Zhao Province have started preliminary work on the development and construction of Longxing Island, with a total investment of more than 50 million. They have successively hired the Water Transportation Planning and Design Institute of the Ministry of Transport, the Jinling Water Conservancy Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Water Resources, and the State Oceanic Administration to conduct environmental impact assessments.
More than 30 scientific research units including the center have completed more than 50 scientific research projects and achievements.
In November 1996, the then CEO of Huaxia Petrochemical Group made a special trip to inspect and negotiate with Blue City on solving the crude oil import problem of petrochemical companies in North China and seeking a large deep-water berth for unloading port.
In March 1997, the "Feasibility Study Report on Longxing Island Import 250,000-ton Crude Oil Terminal" was completed.
In June of that year, leaders of the national planning, metallurgy, transportation and other ministries, together with leaders of Beijing Steel, Blue Steel, Lukang and nine other large steel companies in six provinces and cities in North China, gathered again in Blue City to study the issue of building a port on Longxing Island.
In 1998, an elder-level figure visited Longxing Island for inspection and submitted the "Recommendation on Early Establishment of a 200,000-ton Imported Ore Terminal on Longxing Island, Lan City, Zhao Province" to the senior management.
In June 2000, more than a month ago, the Strategy Department of the Planning Commission and the Lanshi Municipal Government commissioned Huaxia International Engineering Consulting Company to conduct a project evaluation and demonstration on the Longxing Island 200,000-ton imported ore terminal.
The development and construction of Longxing Island has been unanimously approved by everyone and is generally recognized by society.
The construction of the Longxing Island port is mainly to build an iron ore terminal. The construction contents that have been determined are: starting to build a 200,000-ton ore-specific berth with an estimated investment of 2.8 billion yuan; building a railway to Anxi directly at the rear
The mine in Beigang, Anxi County, has a total length of 213 kilometers, a double-track electrified railway, and the estimated investment is 4.5 billion. As for the crude oil terminal, we will talk about it in the future.
This is what the province and city have decided on, and they are planning to start the project establishment and approval process next year, and start the construction of the highway to the island next year or the year after.
Good thing now, Chen Lidong immediately said that he would invest more than 30 billion yuan, and he said it with both nose and eyes.
The scale and investment of wafer factories, gas power plants, seawater desalination plants, LNG terminals, and land reclamation are all clear and logical, and they are by no means random talk.
Why do you say it was a trap for Wang Qinglai?
Because just now Wang Qinglai "forced" Chen Lidong to contribute to the Blue City economy, Chen Lidong made it very clear that for the sake of his hometown, he "had no choice but" to put these projects in the Blue City, otherwise he would go to Panshan.
Will these projects be accepted?
To take over, it is necessary to adjust the plan, and the development and construction of Longxing Island will take Donghua's wafer project as the core.
If you don't accept it... you're afraid of criticism from your superiors: If you don't accept such a good industrial project, are you having trouble with your brain?
Chen Lidong can also force him from outside: I want to invest 30 billion, but the blue market doesn’t want it.
This is called a hot potato!
Wang Qinglai suddenly remembered that Chen Lidong had approached him and asked Lanshi to build a railway to connect Jishi Donggang, but the city vetoed it.
If we refuse now, I'm afraid Donghua will really not invest in the blue market.
Donghua's current status is not ordinary. Jane is in the heart of the emperor. It is said that an old man was sent to guard Donghua and help Donghua check his direction. Who knows whether the old man is guarding Donghua or Lanshi?
Looking at Chen Lidong's somewhat joking expression, he was clearly waiting for Lan Shi to speak:
Do you want this investment package of over 30 billion?
Chapter completed!
