Chapter 60: There is not much time left for Huayao
Zhang Rui thought he was dazzled, so he quickly rubbed it and looked at the remaining index of quartz sand again.
Damn it! In just the blink of an eye, the remaining amount of quartz sand increased by another two percent.
Zhang Rui couldn't help but said: "Oh my God, how did this happen? How can this still lead to an increase?"
At this time, Du Jiahui happened to come over.
Zhang Rui quickly shouted to Du Jiahui: "Dr. Du, come and see what's going on?"
Du Jiahui responded, saw the boss Hu Jiangshan, and hurried over.
"Are you talking about quartz sand? It's all bottomed out now."
Zhang Rui said: "Look, the reserves of quartz sand are growing now."
Du Jiahui was confused: "Ah, the quartz sand has grown? Is it true?"
Du Jiahui glanced at the remaining quartz sand meter and was dumbfounded.
As expected, quartz sand increased instead of decreasing.
Du Jiahui said: "It's weird. Just now I saw that there was less than 30% left. Why is it now 40%? How come more and more are used?"
Zhang Rui and Du Jiahui stared at each other, speechless for a moment.
This is simply equivalent to a supernatural event, challenging the bottom line of thinking of these two scientific workers.
Could it be that physics no longer exists? ?
Hu Jiangshan was amused by the expressions of the two people.
"Okay, let's not hide it from you, because now the quartz sand is being constantly replenished, and it must be growing."
"ah!?"
Zhang Rui and Du Jiahui were even more confused and quickly asked what was going on.
Hu Jiangshan explained it to the two of them.
"Now that the quartz sand refining plant on the island has been built, there is no need to buy quartz sand from outside the island and transport it. Now it can be refined and produced at any time, and it can be replenished in time."
Zhang Rui and Du Jiahui looked at each other.
This is very strange in itself. Why is there suddenly a quartz sand refinery on the island?
That thing is not a small wooden house. It can be built as soon as it is built.
But the two of them immediately thought that with such a high-tech, standard smart office building being built all at once, there was nothing the boss Hu Jiangshan couldn't do.
Realizing this, both Zhang Rui and Du Jiahui became excited.
Other mysteries are no longer important. The key is that the supply problem of quartz sand has been solved.
As mentioned in the premise, the most consumed raw material for wafer production is quartz sand. Once this thing is solved, everything else will not matter.
Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui went to take a look at the crystal wafers that had been produced.
The quality looks very good to the naked eye, and a team of people is doing further testing.
Zhang Rui said: "Boss, the current yield rate has reached a maximum of 82%. If we make further adjustments, we should be able to continue to improve."
Hu Jiangshan nodded: "There's no need to rush, just take your time."
The yield rate of 80% is indeed very ideal for the advanced seven-nanometer process.
It is now 2018, and only Sshima Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can achieve a yield rate of nearly 90% on the seven-nanometer process.
Sansang Semiconductor, which is also a major wafer manufacturer, currently has a yield rate of less than 80% for 7-nanometer products.
From this aspect, General Island has at least surpassed Sansan in terms of process technology.
This is already a very remarkable achievement.
Hu Jiangshan chatted with Zhang Rui for a while and then asked him to go about his business.
Hu Jiangshan then left the cave factory and went to his office.
He made himself a cup of coffee, looked at the charming sea view outside, and began to think about another thing.
Should we build a fishery near here?
It stands to reason that a fishery should be established. After all, Hu Jiangshan is the owner of Jiangshan Fishery Company. What kind of fishery company is it without a fishery?
But the fishery is not that easy to do. Hu Jiangshan was not a fish farmer in his previous life, let alone a fisherman, so he needed to acquire a lot of knowledge. And funding is also an issue.
Fishing farms are asset-heavy industries, and an upfront investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is indispensable.
Although Hu Jiangshan has received an advance payment of 30 million from Huayao, he has also spent a lot of money.
If you want to build a decent fishing ground, it will definitely not be enough.
If you want to build a fishing farm, you have to wait until Huayao's chip order is fully delivered and then start it after receiving the final payment. By then, you will have much more funds.
In short, during this period of time, Hu Jiangshan will do his best to mass-produce chips without any problems.
After making up his mind, Hu Jiangshan stopped thinking randomly.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Hong Kong Island, Lai Shan Apartment.
Hu Jiangshan had a rest today and did not go to Jiangjun Island.
It's hard to describe. Hu Jiangshan was too tired during this period and kept running in both directions.
Although Hu Jiangshan does not need to do the production maintenance and monitoring of the semiconductor production line personally, he occasionally encounters some minor problems during the production process and it is difficult to find the cause.
At this time, Hu Jiangshan will help Zhang Rui and the others check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
You must know that these problems generally arise from the data, which are very minor, but have a great impact on production results.
For example, the yield rate of wafer production has increased to more than 80% for the current seven-nanometer technology, but it is not stable and production data needs to be constantly revised.
Although Zhang Rui is very capable, he is not as strong as Hu Jiangshan.
With a large amount of production data in front of him, Hu Jiangshan could quickly find the problem, which convinced Zhang Rui and others.
During this period, Hu Jiangshan was also very busy. He even worked overtime all night for several days.
Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan's efforts have not been in vain. Now the production line has stabilized, production efficiency is getting higher and higher, and the yield rate has also increased by several percentage points.
With the experience of this mass production, Zhang Rui's team has matured a lot.
As a boss, Hu Jiangshan can relax a lot, at least he doesn't have to go on duty every day.
Zhang Rui reported to Hu Jiangshan yesterday that 90% of Huayao's order has been completed, which is faster than Hu Jiangshan imagined.
At this time, Hu Jiangshan had just finished breakfast. The weather was very good and he was in a good mood.
Hu Jiangshan sat on the balcony as usual, scrolling through mainland social media on his mobile phone.
This has been Hu Jiangshan's habit all along.
On social media, things are getting worse for Huayao.
News and topics related to it have never stopped during this period.
For example, today, as soon as Hu Jiangshan opened Weibo, he saw several related topics.
[The Ministry of Commerce’s new version of the Semiconductor Bill has been in effect for more than a month, and Huayao’s situation is indeed getting worse]
[It is rumored that Huayao's revenue has dropped off a cliff, almost halving, and it is difficult to maintain high profits]
[There is not much time left for Huayao, and the technology circle is generally not optimistic about Huayao's future]
[Expert: Huayao is working hard to find a new chip foundry, but the possibility of success is slim]
Hu Jiangshan saw a Weibo with a very high click-through rate, and the title was very eye-catching.
[What will Huayao face in the next three years? 】
