Chapter 97 Dilemma (Additional update)
Both of them are veteran drivers who have been in the mall for many years. It is rare that what they say on the surface and what they think in their hearts are synchronized.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Gao Shan wiped the fog from his glasses and felt a little bit of blood.
The three parties gradually learned something about the situation during the conversation.
At this time Yu Chengdong winked at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing received the prompt, swallowed the crab meat in his mouth, and took up the topic.
“Advanced manufacturing processes show a trend of increasing capital and technical barriers, and the industry structure is gradually clarified.
From the manufacturing aspect, the capital, talent and technical barriers required by the industry are extremely high, not only ten There have been no new competitive players for many years, and with the emergence of process watersheds, more and more players are "eliminating" from advanced processes
Second-tier factories. In business, there is news that GlobalFoundries will announce that it will give up 7nm research and development in 2018, and UMC has also announced that it will give up investment in advanced processes below 12nm (that is, 7nm and below) in 2018.
Therefore. The only players that maintain advanced process research and development are industry leaders TSMC, Korean Star, Intel, and your company, Xiaxin Technology, which is trying to catch up.”
Gao Shan took a sip of tea and nodded.
This matter is well known in the industry, so he is not surprised.
“Since the beginning of 2017, the price of silicon wafers, the raw material for semiconductors, has been rising. The average contract price increase in the global silicon wafer market in the first quarter was about 10%. In the second quarter, silicon wafer prices continued to rise, and the cumulative increase has been More than 20%, the contract price in the third quarter increased by about 10%, and the price increase trend is rapidly moving from 12-inch silicon wafers to 8-inch and 6-inch silicon wafers. Spread.
Neon's silicon wafer giant SUMCO predicts that the price of 12-inch silicon wafers is expected to further increase by about 20% in 2018, and will continue to grow in 2019.
Korean stars. The three giants of Electronics, Micron Technology and SK Hynix will directly occupy more than 90% of the chip market share next year
Moreover, you should have your own channels to know about the fire at Hanxing Memory Factory.
Yongcheng Chip Factory, the 10-nanometer DRAM production line has been destroyed. I have to admire Korean stars' dominance in Korea for being able to hide it for so long. ”
After the words fell, the box suddenly fell silent.
Gao Shan and Yu Chengdong looked at Gu Qing, this young man.
What happened to Han Xing’s series of operations? Behind the scenes, the production line of top-notch technology was destroyed. Although it mainly made memory chips, many of the technologies and equipment used could be used to make mobile phone chips
It hasn't been long since these giants and bosses knew the news. How did the young man in front of him know about it?
Gu Qing smiled pretending to be profound and winked at An Hetang.
"Uncle Gao, I have a technical document here. You have been in this industry for so long, can you help me check it?"
Gao Shan wiped his hands and then took An He. Documents handed over by the church.
“The technology for manufacturing wafers?”
However, like opening Pandora's box, Vice President Gao became more and more obsessed with it, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
A few minutes later, he looked at Gu Qing with some surprise in his eyes.
"Mr. Gu, where did you get this technical document?"
Gu Qing smiled modestly, "It is an immature and small technology in our company's research laboratory."
>
As soon as these words came out, Gao Shan’s pupils seemed to be shaken.
Immature little technology?
Return to the company's research laboratory?
As a company that sells small home appliances and engages in system optimization, what foundation does it have to engage in such a level of wafer manufacturing technology?
But what Gu Qing said next made his heart change a thousand times.
"Our company is going through the process of being reviewed by Jun-Party's confidential qualification unit. I believe there should be more in-depth exchanges and cooperation with your company in the future." After all, bionic mechanical prostheses and other smart home appliances will need chips in the future.
But these words awakened Gao Shan.
The confidentiality qualification unit in that place is more powerful than the state-owned enterprises.
So this technology was developed by those national treasure-level scientists?
Thinking about the great feats of Daxia officials back then, Gao Shan felt enlightened.
This Jiuzhou Technology Company should also be a glove, otherwise how could two high-end technologies in unrelated industries be taken out from the hands of an unknown boy.
There is also the bodyguard next to this kid. He has been standing for such a long time, standing tall and straight without moving. He should be the special forces over there.
So, this is help from above?
Thinking of this, the stone in Gao Shan's heart suddenly fell to the ground.
"Mr. Gu took out this document. He should have something to say. I am all ears."
This sudden change in painting style made Gu Qing feel a little uncomfortable.
Why did this big guy suddenly become so easy to talk to?
And why did Yu Chengdong’s expression suddenly change?
He had forgotten that Mr. Ren was also from the military.
However, since Vice President Gao of Xia Xin Technology said so, Gu Qing no longer intends to hide it.
"Our Jiuzhou Technology Company has broken ground to build a wafer manufacturing plant. If all goes well, the production workshop will be completed within two months, stable output will be available within three months, and the monthly output of 400,000 wafers will be guaranteed to be completed within one year. Indicator of inch wafer. "
......
Gao Shan's first reaction was to scold the young boy in front of him. He wanted to build a production workshop in two months and stabilize output in three months?
But then I thought about it, those people had indeed accomplished such a feat back then.
Even a monthly output of 400,000 pieces...
"Is Mr. Gu so confident? Do you have something to rely on?"
Gao Shan asked solemnly. After all, he also felt a little guilty. It was really a question of how much help there could provide.
Gu Qing pursed his lips and said: "The will of steel is my greatest confidence, and it relies on cutting-edge technology."
The production of intelligent machinery that will not stop is not the will of steel. ? Isn’t the Dimensional Empire’s technological knowledge cutting-edge enough for a small broken ball?
At this moment when the storm was about to come, Gu Qing's words gave Gao Shan great courage.
But he still shook his head, "The output of TSMC, Korean Star, and Intel cannot be underestimated, and if it is revealed that we can mass-produce 12-inch wafers, they will either immediately expand production, lower prices, and use The price war will wipe out our investment, or use the method of banning the sale of key equipment, or even directly ban the sale of chips, in order to curb our development."
"Once high-end mobile phone chips begin. big If there is a large-scale shortage of goods, then mobile phone manufacturers like you, Xia Wei, and wafer foundries like us, Xia Xin, will immediately fall into the quagmire of a technological war. By then, what we will face is not ordinary business competition, but a It is a life and death battle between the high-precision technologies of Daxia and Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea.”
Gu Qing understands the difficulties faced by leading technology companies such as Xia Xin Technology. While working hard, he must also consider his opponents. their acceptance.
The development of industrial types in Daxia is comprehensive, but it is only comprehensive. Many industries are not actually high-end. It is easy to upgrade individual industries, but it is too difficult to upgrade the entire industry.
