Chapter 426: Industry shock, actions by all parties
Today's groundbreaking ceremony was hosted by a well-known host of Lingnan Provincial TV Station.
This was also done by Liu Tianwu who helped him to come forward, and Jiang Hui didn't need to worry about it.
He was seen with a loud voice, passionate introduction to the leaders and guests attending and the importance of the project.
Subsequently, the Ministry of Electronics Industry, Lingnan Province and other levels led the resignation.
Needless to say, all parties must highly appreciate the important role of Lingnan Semiconductor's project in promoting the economic development of Shenzhen City and enhancing the competitiveness of the national semiconductor industry, and expressed their firm confidence in the successful implementation of this project.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shaohua, the new general manager of Lingnan Semiconductor, came on stage to speak as a representative.
He fondly reviewed the development history of China's semiconductor industry, shared some of Lingnan Semiconductor's future plans, and promised to do its best to ensure the high-quality construction and operation of new projects, and to realize the China's semiconductor industry Contribute to development.
"Jiang Hui, you really don't go on stage to say a few words?"
From the beginning to the end, the representatives of Lingnan Semiconductor were General Manager Zhang Shaohua and Chief Engineer Chen Qingxiang, which was considered to have dug up these two people. The talented people clean up the obedience.
Zhu Ling naturally came here today to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of Lingnan Semiconductor.
She hasn't seen Jiang Hui care so much about which branch. "No need. Since you have chosen to believe in Zhang Shaohua and the others, then leave the stage to them." "In this way, they will work better in the future."
Honor is no longer a rare thing for Jiang Hui.
It was just a speech at a large-scale groundbreaking ceremony, which was nothing at all.
He himself is not a person who likes various social engagements and speeches.
"As a newcomer in the semiconductor industry, we are now entering the industry with such a high profile. I guess many opponents are waiting to see our performance."
"If we succeed, we will naturally There was a lot of applause. "
"If it fails, there will probably be even less jokes."
Zhu Ling said something a little worried.
The investment scale of BMW Technology has developed to this point, and the couple has long achieved financial freedom.
In Zhu Ling's opinion, Jiang Hui actually doesn't need to take such a big risk.
But she didn't say these words, but chose to support them silently.
"In my dictionary, there is no word failure."
"These few years are the last window of development for our China semiconductor industry."
"If you miss this window, if you want to work hard to develop in the future, it will be a little more difficult."< br>
Jiang Hui is very aware of the development of China's semiconductor industry in history.
It was filled with all kinds of regrets.
When the relevant departments wanted to redevelop in the 1990s, the situation was completely different.
Especially afterwards, some incidents of subsidy fraud occurred, which caused huge harm to the development of this industry.
Now with Lingnan Semiconductor, the situation is different.
It will only be 1988 next year, and China's first 4-inch wafer fab and 3-micron process chip factory will be able to mass produce.
In the process of next year's advancement, some advanced R&D equipment can be introduced from the United States and Japan, so that the R&D center of Lingnan Semiconductor can be built simultaneously.
To a certain extent, the establishment of this R&D center is no less meaning than the construction of a factory.
The construction of the project is buying second-hand production equipment, so the R&D center is different.
The various experimental equipments inside are the most advanced. In the 1990s, you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.
But now, as long as you give money, people will sell it.
Just as Jiang Hui and his wife chatted, the most important part of the groundbreaking ceremony has arrived today.
That is the foundation laying and soil cultivation process.
Under the guidance of the host, guests from all walks of life held gold shovels and jointly dug the first shovel for the construction of Lingnan Semiconductor's new factory.
As a shovel of soil fell, thunderous applause and cheers rang out at the scene.
That night, this news appeared on Lingnan TV and Huaxia.
"Old Lu, BMW Technology suddenly stopped making cars and went to semiconductors. Can you understand this move?"
Chen Qi has always been paying close attention to the news of BMW Auto Group. .
This time BMW Technology established Lingnan Semiconductor in China and wanted to introduce wafer production lines and chip processing production lines from the United States. He paid attention to it when he saw the news broadcast.
For those of you, you must watch the daily Huaxia News Broadcast.
Chen Qi can read a lot of useful information from the content that ordinary people find very boring.
But this time he saw the news about Lingnan Semiconductor, he felt that he couldn't understand it.
That's why I asked Lu Jianqiang.
"Manager, this matter is indeed a bit strange. I haven't heard any rumors before."
"Regardingly, the demand for various chips in BMW Automobile Group should be very small." "That is, there are only a few chips on the 4AT TCU on the Nanshan gearbox." "And the technology of those chips is not particularly high-end, and it can still be used internationally. I found many manufacturers to purchase it. "
"It is really difficult to understand what I have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to enter the chip production industry."
Lu Jianqiang obviously cannot understand what BMW Tech is doing.
According to the general view, BMW Technology has no need to touch the semiconductor industry.
Working hard in the automotive industry is at most just expanding various automotive parts.
It is even the investment from Nanshan Equipment, many people feel that it is unnecessary.
But Jiang Hui not only did it, but also pulled the industrial equipment industrial park in Shenzhen, and his actions were getting bigger and bigger.
"I still have a certain understanding of Jiang Hui."
"What he does is very purposeful and forward-looking."
"Can we go in the future Will there be a large number of various chips used in cars? "
Although Chen Qi does not understand Jiang Hui's approach, he is very confident about Jiang Hui's vision.
The current situation can only be understood as they have not seen through it, not that the other party is really messing around.
"He is considered a person from the First Machinery Department and has a good relationship with the Fifth Machinery Department, but in the Ministry of Electronics Industry, I have basically never heard of having dealt with him before."
"So BMW Technology An investment cannot be because it supports the development of the Ministry of Electronics Industry."
"His father-in-law is now the second-in-command of the Machinery Industry Committee. If he invests in some industries here, he will invest in some of the industries here. , it’s still a bit awful."
Lu Jianqiang analyzed all possible situations, but the more he analyzed the more he felt that this matter was a bit weird.
"I read the news report that Lingnan Semiconductor will become the most technologically advanced semiconductor company in China in the future, and will continue to introduce more advanced production equipment and processes in the future."
"In addition, they will continue to work in the semiconductor industry in the future."
"Try to arrange for people to inquire about this matter to see if they can figure out the name behind it."< "Then see if it has any impact on us."
I couldn't figure out the situation, so Chen Qi had to arrange someone to follow up and investigate and understand the matter, and then take one step at a time.
…
Compared to the confusion at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, Smith has more information.
"Smith, recently China is promoting several major moves in the semiconductor industry."
"You need to pay a little attention, it is best to figure out their specific plans and see the right one. Do we have any impact? "
"A few years ago, China has slightly ignored this industry, but as a result, the semiconductor industry in Japan has risen rapidly and has surpassed us."
"In the past few years, China In order to re-support the development of the semiconductor industry, a series of policies such as tax incentives and R&D subsidies have been introduced. "
"And various restrictions have been imposed on the scale of products exported by the Japanese semiconductor industry in the United States."
"Even so, it still needs to be certain if we want to completely suppress Japanese semiconductor companies and make our domestic companies the world's number one, and it still needs to be a certain extent. "
" Such mistakes cannot happen in China."
As the ambassador of the United States in China, Woodcock needs to pay attention to a lot.
He will care about anything he thinks there will be an impact on America.
The semiconductor industry is one of the core industries for future high-tech development, and the United States has now gained a very accurate understanding of it.
In addition to the rapid development of the computer industry in recent years, everyone has paid more attention to the development of the semiconductor industry.
Although China has a good relationship with the United States now, if China's semiconductor industry development threatens the interests of the United States, Woodcock will definitely find a way to suppress it.
"Woodcock, from what I know so far, China's semiconductor industry will not be able to catch up with us even in twenty years."
"Just take the wafer For factories, most of our country are 5-inch wafer factories, and 6-inch factories are also being promoted. ”
"But Huaxia is still a 3-inch wafer factory, the only 4-inch wafer production line is also the second-hand equipment purchased by the newly established Lingnan Semiconductor from our domestic companies."
"At 7th In the 1900s, Intel had already built its first 4-inch wafer fab. Now, it has been ten years since China is just thinking about building such a factory. "
"They want to catch up with us, That is something that is impossible to happen. "
"On the contrary, I think it is necessary to remind the country to pay attention to the situation in Goryeo and Japan." "They are in the semiconductor industry The threat to the country will definitely be many times greater than that of China. ”
Smith also hopes to cooperate with Jiang Hui or Austin in the future to find a way to make a profit from Lingnan Semiconductor's new semiconductor equipment business. How could Woodcock block this road?
Of course, he really feels that China's semiconductor industry is too weak and will not pose any threat to the United States at all.
In recent years, all the newly invested semiconductor equipment in China has been second-hand eliminated equipment imported from the international market.
It seems that the production capacity is quite large, but in fact they are already behind.
The products produced can no longer keep up with the needs of the times, resulting in a significant decline in capacity utilization.
The key is that according to the information he learned, Huaxia has invested very little in the R&D of the semiconductor industry, and it can basically be ignored.
In this case, it is impossible to make any major advances in technology.
Semiconductors are a field that emphasizes capital and talents, and both of China are short of things. "You are right, maybe I'm over-worry."
"After all, in just a few months, they have established a new microelectronics joint company with sufficient research institutes and factories, and established a new enterprise like Lingnan Semiconductor, which seems to be very strong."
"It seems like I'm going to do a big fight in the semiconductor industry."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one book, one book, one bar, one book, one bar, one bar! "But compared with Goryeo and Japan, the movements and scale of China are indeed much smaller."
Woodcock felt that he might be really oversensitive.
After staying in China for several years, he has witnessed the rapid changes in China with his own eyes, and he is also a little worried.
Especially, the relationship between China and polar bears seems to have changed continuously during this period, and many commercial cooperation is accelerating.
This made Woodcock feel a certain sense of crisis.
If China and the polar bears go together, this is definitely not the situation that America wants to see.
…
"What's going on with Lingnan Semiconductor? It can actually purchase equipment for 4-inch wafer fabs and 3-micron chip manufacturing from the United States."
"Zhang Shaohua gave up the position arranged by our company, and it turned out that this was the one who went there." A company? ”
If the various manufacturers in the Huaxia automotive industry pay attention to Lingnan Semiconductor because this company has a very close relationship with BMW Automobile Group, then domestic semiconductor companies pay attention to Lingnan Semiconductor, which is obviously Because a new competitor emerged.
In recent years, China has introduced twenty or thirty eliminated wafer and chip processing production lines from the United States.
Our purpose is to produce wafers or chips for export and foreign exchange, but the market is so big, your technology is backward, and there is no need outside at all.
This has led to many production lines falling into a situation where there are no parts to be produced as soon as they are put into production.
This situation is naturally contrary to the original idea.
It is normal for some people to bear pressure or even be criticized because of this matter.
Fortunately, everyone is a state-owned enterprise, and they laugh at each other for fifty steps, so no one should laugh at anyone.
But after Lingnan semiconductor emerged, the situation was different.
Whether it is regarded as a foreign-funded enterprise or a private enterprise, they introduced the most advanced production lines in China as soon as they were established, which made all other chip manufacturers lose their faces.
What will the superior leaders think?
Why do newcomers in Lingnan Semiconductor know how to introduce advanced production equipment, but you industry experts only know how to import completely backward production lines?
The vacancy rate of production capacity is so high now. Is it because there was something wrong with the original decision?
Such doubts will definitely make many people feel very uncomfortable.
Especially for the microelectronics joint company that has just been sufficient, it is even more embarrassing that the general manager of Lingnan Semiconductor is actually Zhang Shaohua, whom he looks down on.
What will the leaders think about Lingnan Semiconductor's achievements in the future?
When Zhang Shaohua received the leaders who visited and inspected, would he say something he shouldn't say?
When thinking of this, Wang Honggui felt a lot more worried.
As the new general manager of Microelectronics United Company, he also contributed to kicking Zhang Shaohua out of the core management.
He didn't really hate Zhang Shaohua, but he only had so many positions, so he would definitely give priority to his own direct troops.
"Mr. Wang, I asked a little about it. Lingnan Semiconductor and BMW Automobile Group are both subsidiaries of BMW Technology in the Port City."
"BMW Automobile Group in recent years The development is very fast, and I have made a lot of money through export earning foreign exchange. "
"I should have some connections in the United States." "This time I can go smoothly from The purchase of relatively advanced second-hand equipment in the United States should be inseparable from these."
As the chief engineer of Microelectronics United Company, Zhao Dongfang naturally paid attention to the establishment of Lingnan Semiconductor at the first time.
When he thought that the other party would soon have various equipment that was more advanced than his company, his mood was very complicated.
He is a relatively pure person, and his whole mind is on technical research and development.
But it is too difficult for such people to be the chief engineer.
To a certain extent, you must have strong upward management skills.
Otherwise, I can only watch other people of the same level continue to get promotions and salary increases.
"They just need to make money in the automotive industry. Why do they come to the semiconductor industry to wade into the muddy waters?"
"Isn't this disgusting us?"
Wang Honggui This should express the voices of many domestic semiconductor company managers.
These industry insiders are naturally very clear about what problems do domestic semiconductor companies have.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to change, but that they are confused about all kinds of reasons and become what they are now.
The complexity of the introduction of technology and equipment in the chip industry, the cumbersome approval process, the limitations of funds and investment, the uncertainty of market and demand, and the lack of management and business experience will eventually lead to competition among these companies. The force is constantly decreasing.
If there were no "catfish" coming in, they would not have had any particularly stress.
After all, everyone is like this, and even if the superiors are not satisfied, there is no way.
But now that Lingnan Semiconductor has been established, it has launched the most advanced wafer factories and chip factories in China. How can everyone survive?
The key is that we have just announced that we will enter the semiconductor industry and we will prepare for mass production in the second half of next year.
How do they compare this speed?
According to the current process of major projects being approved, reported and discussed at all levels, if Microelectronics United Company also launches the same project at this time, it is estimated that by the time of getting off work next year, this project has not been approved yet Come down.
If you want to mass production, you don’t know when you have to wait. "The key is that not only Zhang Shaohua passed, but a group of technicians from Factory 742 and Research Institute 1424 also followed."
"Some people even ignore archives and directly take the train to Shenzhen City and join Lingnan Semiconductor."
"I heard that as long as they are professional semiconductor technicians, the minimum salary for Lingnan Semiconductor is 300 yuan. Starting from Yuan."
"As for factory managers like Zhang Shaohua, their salary can reach several thousand yuan per month."
"The bonus has not been calculated yet, and Lingnan has not been calculated yet The treatment of villas and car distribution in the semiconductor version is distributed. "
Zhao Dongfang felt a little envious when he said this.
When he reaches his level, he doesn't need to worry about money.
But it would be a bit stressful to say that you can take out a few thousand yuan in your hand.
But Zhang Shaohua, who originally had a salary that was not as good as his, went to Lingnan Semiconductor, his monthly salary was higher than that of himself.
This is a bit exciting.
No wonder many people in Factory 742 chose to give up joining Microelectronics United Company some time ago.
"Isn't this a mess?"
"Lingnan Semiconductor is so bad that the atmosphere in the domestic semiconductor industry will be ruined by them."
Wang Honggui's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that he would answer it. It is probably even more difficult to do your own work.
The purpose of the superior establishment of United Microelectronics Company is to promote the development of China's microelectronics industry, promote the combination of scientific research and production, form an industrial chain cluster, and promote the development of the local economy.
But if Lingnan Semiconductor waved money and poached people everywhere, then many technicians in microelectronics would definitely be poached.
There are not enough technicians, and it is easy to imagine the difficulty of United Microelectronics to promote industrial development.
The semiconductor industry is not like the textile, coal mine and other industries. You can get started quickly if you find someone.
This industry has a relatively high threshold for talents.
Even workers in production workshops need to understand a lot. "Director, do we want to give feedback from the department?"
"Lingnan Semiconductor cannot be allowed to continue like this."
A key reason why Zhao Dongfang was able to become the chief engineer of United Microelectronics Company is that he has a brother-in-law relationship with Wang Honggui.
So he often naturally thinks about problems from the other party's perspective.
Otherwise, with his emotional intelligence, he would not be able to sit in this position.
"The leaders in the ministry attended the groundbreaking ceremony of Lingnan Semiconductor. A large number of leaders attended the Lingnan Province, and other ministries and commissions also attended the meeting."
"In this case, do you think it will be effective for us to complain to the department?"
Wang Honggui is very clear about the attraction of a large wafer fab and chip manufacturer to the local area.
The department is definitely happy to see that domestic wafer production technology and chip production technology can reach a higher level without spending money.
So the complaint is definitely ineffective, and it is not surprising that you may even be scolded.
When the time comes, I will bring back some people I can't handle, and that will be a tragedy.
"Then...will we let the situation develop?"
What Zhao Dongfang said made Wang Honggui feel very uncomfortable.
But he also knew that the things he could really do were very limited.
I can only wait and see first.
