Chapter 97: Chip production capacity surges
The Southern Factory did ship a batch of chips, and the quantity was quite large, more than one million.
And they are all Huayao’s flagship chip, which is Kirin 990.
The slowed down production pace of the southern factory was suddenly activated, and the operating rate immediately increased sharply.
A few days later, Hong Kong Island, General Island.
Hu Jiangshan was in the production line control center, carefully watching the production data on the big screen.
Just a few days ago, the semiconductor production line was finally upgraded.
Sure enough, the production capacity has increased significantly, and the improvement rate is much higher than imagined.
The wafers produced in two days can almost equal the production of the previous week.
Just yesterday Wang Chengdong called to urge the goods, and Hu Jiangshan delivered all the packaged chips on hand.
When Wang Chengdong heard about the number of chips that could be delivered, he immediately lost his temper.
Wang Chengdong's strange laughter deeply impressed Hu Jiangshan, a man of two generations.
Hu Jiangshan carefully looked at the generated production data for a while. He had some minor questions, so he asked Zhang Rui a few words.
Zhang Rui nodded and quickly went to find someone to adjust.
Zhang Ruizhen is indeed a workaholic, and his energy is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Before, Hu Jiangshan was worried that Zhang Rui couldn't bear the loneliness.
After all, this is working on an isolated island, and staying here for a long time is quite boring.
Hu Jiangshan also specifically talked to Zhang Rui. Unexpectedly, Zhang Rui was very satisfied with his current work and life. He was extremely satisfied.
It turns out that Zhang Rui likes this kind of environment very much. It is relatively simple and there are not so many troubles.
Hu Jiangshan was relieved.
Zhang Rui is now the mainstay and cannot leave.
If Zhang Ruizhen leaves, where can Hu Jiangshan find a technical master like him?
Hu Jiangshan walked out of the factory.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly, cloudless, and very sunny at the same time.
Hu Jiangshan walked for a while and saw the construction site.
Many workers are building roads and are busy working.
Liu Abao was staring at the workers on a high slope not far away, and from time to time he would point at a certain worker and yell something.
Liu Abao brought the entire team, a total of more than 20 people.
Despite the small number of people, the efficiency is very high. Now the road network on General Island has been outlined and has been almost completely smoothed.
The gravel is being laid now, and the next step should be to lay cement for solidification.
Hu Jiangshan said hello to Liu Abao and stood aside for a while to watch. He didn't understand the quality of the construction, but his attitude seemed quite reliable.
Hu Jiangshan felt that he was too exposed to the sun and his face was burning, so he quickly went to the General.
Although the General is small, it is still a luxury yacht after all. It is quite comfortable to enjoy the air conditioning and drink iced juice in the panoramic lounge.
Especially the seascape, the stronger the sunlight, the more beautiful it is.
Hu Jiangshan picked up his tablet and browsed social media.
I have been too busy in the past two days and have not had time to watch it. I can finally take some time off today.
Just as Hu Jiangshan guessed, Huayao's popularity has increased recently.
On the first screen of a certain blog, there are several Weibo posts about Huayao.
[Insider: Huayao’s high-end mobile phone production capacity is recovering]
[I placed an order for mate20pro and finally received it]
[Puzzle: Why does Kirin 990 become more used the more it is used? Has Huayao really found a new chip foundry? 】
[Kirin chip supply restored? Don’t be too naive, it’s just that Huayao’s chip inventory is higher than expected] Hu Jiangshan scrolled through a few screens, and sure enough, many bloggers were very surprised that Huayao was still shipping Mate20 in large quantities.
After all, the Ministry of Commerce’s new semiconductor bill has been officially launched for nearly two months.
Normally, Huayao's mobile phone manufacturing should encounter big problems. At least initially, the Mate20 mobile phone will not be released for sale, but will be limited.
However, Huayao has recently launched a large-scale unlimited supply. Whether online or offline, you can pre-order Huayao's high-end mobile phones at will.
This led to a surge in orders for Huayao mobile phones, with millions of units sold in a short period of time.
Both the technology and digital circles believe that Huayao's mobile phone orders cannot be delivered within a short time frame, or even at all, because Huayao's chip inventory is limited.
Huayao's liberalization of purchases is just a strategy to boost performance, or it is a bluff.
But reality slapped these people hard in the face. Huayao handed over millions of mobile phones in just over a month.
For example, on a certain blog, many users are posting their orders for newly acquired Huayao phones. Most of them are high-end models of the mate20 series.
This shocked people in the industry.
Hu Jiangshan looked at these related Weibo posts and found a lot of speculation about Huayao chips.
Basically there are two possibilities.
First, Huayao is not afraid of running out of chips at all, and even plans to abandon its mobile phone business after running out of inventory.
The second possibility is that Huayao does have a new source of chips, that is, it has found a new chip foundry.
At this time, Hu Jiangshan finally saw a Weibo post with a different view.
[Informed person: Huayao is secretly buying back mobile phones and removing the chips on them for refurbishment]
Hu Jiangshan read the content and found it quite shocking.
But I have to admit that this is theoretically possible.
While selling mobile phones, while using second-hand prices to buy back the sold mobile phones, it is equivalent to having endless chips.
The guy who came up with this method is also a genius.
At this time, Hu Jiangshan saw a hot search on Weibo.
[Huaxin International may no longer be able to buy high-end photoresist, and it is impossible to OEM chips for Huayao]
Just looking at the title of this Weibo, there is a lot of information.
Hu Jiangshan clicked in and looked at the content, and found that it was written by someone in the mobile phone industry, who seemed to know a lot of inside information.
The author previously speculated that the only company that might contract chips for Huayao is Huaxin International.
But the author now feels that it is impossible, because the purchase of Huaxin International's semiconductor materials, especially advanced photoresists, has been restricted.
This author feels like he is dispelling rumors and letting people not have any illusions. It is impossible for Huayao to find a new chip foundry.
The author concludes that the current Huayao mobile phones are at the end of their rope, and there will soon be no more chips available.
There is nothing much to say in the comments below. Some support the author's point of view and say that Huayao mobile phones are going to disappear.
Some say the author is too pessimistic and underestimates Hua Yao's abilities.
Many netizens also showed off their newly received Huayao mobile phones and mocked the author.
Suddenly, a comment caught Hu Jiangshan's attention.
"My uncle works at the Huayao mobile phone factory. He said that Huayao has received several batches of Kirin chips, saying they came from Hong Kong Island."
Seeing this comment, Hu Jiangshan felt something was not good.
What’s even more disturbing is that the comment has been liked hundreds of times, and many netizens have asked for details below the comment.
Hu Jiangshan remembered Xu Zhijun’s reminder that someone was already conducting investigations on Hong Kong Island.
I just don’t know how many they found?
