Chapter 81 Sudden! Photoresist prices rise
Li Long nodded firmly: "Reliable, I think it is very reliable!"
The big guys looked at each other.
Li Long is a very cautious person. He didn't expect to make such a firm judgment this time. It seems that what he saw today is indeed extraordinary.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhijun said: "That's good, that's really great, there's really no end to the road!"
Li Long added some more information, which could be regarded as answering questions.
Although there are some questions that I can’t figure out, such as is the energy on the island enough? Is there enough fresh water?
But after Li Long's trip, he was able to confirm that Hu Jiangshan's side was indeed genuine.
He Yunbo smiled. He should be the most excited now.
He Yunbo is the head of Hexi Semiconductor. If there is no wafer factory for Huayao, then their chip design will be completely meaningless, and sooner or later they will be split off.
Well now, this means that HiSilicon still has value.
At this time, Wang Chengdong suddenly said: "I have an idea."
Xu Zhijun said: "Old Wang, isn't this a bad idea?"
Wang Chengdong waved his hand: "I bet this is definitely a great idea!"
Sun Yafang said: "Don't hold back, just tell me."
Wang Chengdong tapped the table and said slowly: "We are going to release the P30 phone in advance!"
The next day, Hu Jiangshan had just gotten up and was about to wash up.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
[Caller ID: Wang Chengdong]
Hu Jiangshan felt strange. Li Long just left yesterday, why did Wang Chengdong call today?
Is there something wrong?
Hu Jiangshan answered the phone.
"Hey, Brother Hu, what are you busy with now?"
"Mr. Wang, I'm just going to brush my teeth and wash my face."
"...Huh? Did you just get up?"
Hu Jiangshan showed a wry smile: "Mr. Wang, what time is it? It's just eight o'clock!"
Wang Chengdong laughed, obviously in a good mood.
"Brother Hu, let me tell you something serious. We want to place additional orders for chips."
Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "Are you adding another order? Mr. Wang, this order has not been processed yet."
Wang Chengdong replied: "This additional order is different. The IC design needs to be slightly modified."
"An improved version of Kirin 990?"
"That's right."
Hu Jiangshan suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, is Huayao planning to make a big move?"
"Brother Hu, I still need your cooperation."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, I'll try my best."
"Okay, I'll have someone send the IC design to you in a moment. You guys can take a look at it first. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. By the way, we need five million of this chip in advance."
Hu Jiangshan was surprised: "So many?"
Wang Chengdong laughed: "Brother Hu, it's okay, don't be anxious, take your time, tapeout first to see the effect."
Wang Chengdong should have obtained Hu Jiangshan's production capacity from Li Long, and he would not ask to speed up the progress.
But five million chips is still very stressful.
Hu Jiangshan chatted with Wang Chengdong for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Although Hu Jiangshan did not ask explicitly, Huayao must be releasing a new mobile phone, otherwise it would not order new models of chips.
A moment later, Hu Jiangshan received a new email.
The attachment is very large and contains a complete set of IC chip designs.
This email address was arranged by Wang Chengdong. It was specially encrypted and used Huayao's intranet. Otherwise, he would not have dared to send such important information.
At this time, everything needs to be cautious. It may not be useful, but it certainly does no harm.
Hu Jiangshan wanted to use his laptop to open the file and take a look. Unexpectedly, the file was too large and Hu Jiangshan's laptop opened too slowly.
Forget it, let’s go to General Island to see it. It’s really time to change your laptop to one with higher configuration.
In the morning, Hu Jiangshan was thinking about being lazy today and not going to General Island today.
Anyway, it's basically normal production now, nothing special will happen.
Hu Jiangshan took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator and was about to go to the balcony to enjoy it.
To be honest, Hu Jiangshan did not have such a leisurely life in his previous life. His mind was filled with research and solving problems every day.
Not to mention drinking liquor and beer, even sparkling water is hard to drink.
Now Hu Jiangshan found that his temperament had indeed changed a lot. He knew how to enjoy himself and was not as desperate as before.
The sleeping time is twice as long as in the previous life, and I wake up much later.
If you think about it carefully, this is normal. After all, Hu Jiangshan has merged with his original body, and his personality will naturally have a big impact.
Hu Jiangshan opened a can of beer and was about to put it in his mouth when his cell phone rang.
[Caller ID: Zhang Rui]
Dr. Zhang called.
Zhang Rui usually doesn't make phone calls. If he does, it means there is something really unresolved.
"Hey, Dr. Zhang, what's going on?"
Zhang Rui said: "Boss, I just called Boss Tian to ask for goods, but there was not enough photoresist. I wanted to buy some more, but Boss Tian said..."
"what did he say?"
"He said photoresist is hard to buy now and it's not easy to get enough, so he wants to raise the price."
Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "The price has increased? By how much?"
"Boss Tian said that the current price will at least double, and there is no guarantee that we can get enough quantity."
Hu Jiangshan's head hurt a little.
Doubling the cost will increase the cost a lot.
But you also have to buy photoresist, a necessary consumable for manufacturing wafers and etching.
This boss Tian, named Tian Hansong, is an international troublemaker, and Kevin introduced him to him.
It is said that Tian Hansong is from the Bay Island Province, but his accent does not sound like him.
The cooperation was good, but Tian Hansong unexpectedly asked for a price increase at this time.
At this time, Zhang Rui said: "Boss, what should I do?"
Hu Jiangshan said: "It's okay, I'll negotiate with him."
Zhang Rui responded.
Hu Jiangshan mentioned the new order placed by Huayao to Zhang Rui again, and we would discuss the details together in a day or two.
After talking to Zhang Rui, Hu Jiangshan dialed Tian Hansong's phone number again.
Hu Jiangshan wanted to talk to Tian Hansong face to face and ask what was going on.
In the afternoon, there is an outdoor cafe on Garden Road in Central.
Hu Jiangshan has been sitting here for half an hour. It has passed the time he made an appointment with Tian Hansong, and this person has not come yet.
A cup of coffee is almost finished.
At this moment, a person appeared, it was Tian Hansong.
"Hey, I'm sorry, Hu Xiansen, I encountered a traffic jam on the road. I spent a long time looking for a parking space. I'm late."
Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, just sit down."
Tian Hansong took the initiative to order two more cups of coffee and sat across from Hu Jiangshan.
Hu Jiangshan asked: "Boss Tian, let's get straight to the point, why do you want to increase the price?"
Tian Hansong spread his hands: "Hu Xiansen, there is nothing I can do about this matter. The manufacturer suddenly tightened the export restrictions. It is very difficult to get it done now, and it will take a lot of detours."
"bend?"
Tian Hansong whispered: "It's just about opening up the relationship."
