On the morning of the 12th.
High-tech Zone, Zhongxin International's 7-nanometer foundry.
An ordinary domestic car was parked at the entrance of the foundry.
An old man got out of the car with the help of his secretary.
The old man was wearing a business suit and leather shoes. His eyes were full of vigor and exuded a sharp light. However, his sideburns were white, and the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles. He was almost 80 years old, but he was already very old.
Accompanying the old man was a middle-aged man with short hair and glasses. Upon closer inspection, many people would find him very familiar.
Wasn't this the CEO of Hua Yao, Zhao Ming?
While he was supporting the old man, his face was full of respect and admiration.
The identity of the old man suddenly became clear.
The founder of Hua Yao, Old Master Ren.
After learning that Zhongxin International had achieved a breakthrough in the 7-nanometer chip manufacturing process, Old Master Ren made a special trip to Shang Hai to visit Zhongxin International's foundry.
Zhang Wei Jin agreed to Old Master Ren's request.
He personally waited at the entrance, put on a dust-proof suit, and brought them into the factory for a tour.
During the tour, Old Master Ren asked many questions that he was concerned about.
"How's your production capacity? How many wafers can you process and how many chips can you produce in a day?"
"Under uninterrupted production, we can process 800 12-inch wafers a day. In theory, each wafer can be cut into 330 chips, which means 264,000 chips a day."
Old Master Ren's eyes lit up. He sighed and said, "Chip manufacturing is still profitable. Now, the cost of each 12-inch wafer is less than 1,000 dollars, but we can cut more than 300 chips that are worth hundreds of dollars. The difference is dozens or even hundreds of times.
If Hua Yao had known that it would have such a bright future, it would have entered the wafer foundry industry and occupied a place in this industry.
But it's too late. It's too late now. "
Zhang Wei Jin smiled and said, "It's not too late. It's not too late now. With Hua Yao's strength, it will take at most 10 years to achieve results in the wafer foundry industry. It will become a large-scale foundry brand and occupy a large market share."
The old man waved his hand. "Forget it. I'm almost 80 years old. I won't be around in ten years. Not only will I lose my first-mover advantage, but to reach Zhongxin's level, even burning 50 billion US dollars won't be enough … Let's not get involved. One Zhongxin is enough."
Zhang Wei Jin replied humbly, "Chip manufacturing is just a small skill. Chip design is the core technology. The purpose of Zhongxin was established was to provide OEM services to various design companies and earn some hard work fees."
"OK, OK, CEO Zhang, there are hundreds of chip design companies, but there are only a few chip OEM companies. I won't say more about which is more important."
The old man shook his head.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked with concern, "Mr. Zhang, what's the yield of your company's 7-nanometer chip technology? If the production capacity is acceptable, Hua Yao will hand over a portion of its Kirin chips to you as an OEM. As for the OEM fee, I hope it won't be too high. It's acceptable to be about 30% more expensive than Mossey Electrics … The breakthrough you've made is very impressive, but Hua Yao can only support you to a certain extent. "
Hearing this.
Zhang Wei Jin's eyes were a little moist.
"There's no need for that, Director Ren! We'll charge whatever Mossey Electrics charges. There's no need to pay more.
The only thing Zhongxin needs is orders. The more orders, the better!
"Our second 7-nanometer production line is currently under construction. The chip yield of this production line has already reached 86.4%. We can produce 228,000 high-end chips every day. This production capacity is sufficient to meet the needs of all of Hua Yao's high-end CPUs.
After all, Hua Yao sold 30 to 40 million high-end mobile phones in a year. Zhongxin International would have no problem eating up these 30 to 40 million high-end chip orders.
The old man nodded.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
He asked, "What did you just say? The yield is 80%. Didn't you say that it's less than 20% in your statement? Why is the data different here? "
"Mr. Zhang, did I hear wrongly or did you say it wrongly?"
The old man looked at his face and asked.
"You didn't hear wrongly. I didn't say it wrongly either. The yield that was announced to the public was just a smokescreen. The actual yield is 86.4%. In terms of yield, we've reached the same standard as our peers."
"How is this possible?"
The old man and Zhao Ming beside him exclaimed at the same time.
Zhang Wei Jin explained the cause and effect in detail.
…
More than two hours later.
Grandpa Ren and Zhao Ming finally recovered from the shock.
The virtual factory!
The research and development time was reduced by more than 90%.
The research and development cost was reduced by more than 90%.
With such a magical device, it was not a myth to conquer the 7-nanometer chip manufacturing process in eight months!
With such a magical device in hand, it was not a pipe dream to bridge the technological gap that was more than 20 years away from home and abroad within two years.
The technological prowess of Xing Hai Technologies left the two speechless.
"Has Xing Hai Technologies' software technology already reached such an amazing level?"
"In the industrial field, the acceleration effect of the virtual factory will produce the power of a nuclear weapon, right?"
"Fortunately, this technology was born in Z country and not abroad."
"It's just a company that has been established for only three years, but Hua Yao is an old company with 30 years of history. How can Xing Hai Technologies come up with so many shocking technologies?"
"Could it be that the young man is favored by aliens?"
Grandpa Ren and Zhao Ming discussed with a bitter smile on their faces.
Comparisons were odious.
A company was more frustrating than a company.
"Grandfather, do you think Hua Yao can agree to President Zhang's proposal and invitation? A company as big as ours can join the 'Star Alliance' established by Xing Hai Technologies and form a strategic alliance in the field of hardware design and manufacturing to avoid internal friction. In the future, we can face external challenges together and occupy a bigger market. "
"Are we really going to be allies with Xing Hai Technologies and be led by them in the future?"
Zhao Ming asked. A small company that had been established for only three years wanted Hua Yao to join and listen to the arrangements of this small company?
"Of course, we'll join!"
The old man said, "President Zhang revealed so many secrets with the purpose of hoping that Hua Yao will join. This is to show us their sincerity."
"And we have no choice but to join. Although Xing Hai Technologies has not been established for long, the strength of this company cannot be underestimated."
"Intelligent robots, intelligent learning machines, work assistants, virtual factories … Hua Yao could produce any one of these products, but Xing Hai Technologies has come up with them one after another. Using intelligent learning technology, they seem to have grasped the truth of this world. They've mastered all technologies."
"The potential of this company is ten times, no, a hundred times that of Hua Yao."
"If we don't cooperate with this company and refuse to form an alliance with them, their Star Cloud system, their Star Alliance, Purple Ray, and Zhong Xin International will form an army of domestic hardware and software. They will soon sweep the whole world."
"Even Hua Yao can't resist them. Although we have hundreds of thousands of patents and our own operating system, what we have is not enough in front of those who have grasped the truth."
"We can only go with the flow and join them. We can cooperate with each other and complement each other's strengths to achieve a win-win situation. We can't be defeated together."
"Hua Yao is great, but the future of this world belongs to the 'Star Alliance.' Hua Yao can only continue to have a place in this world if we join it. Otherwise, we will only fall to the edge."
Hearing the old man's words.
Zhao Ming nodded helplessly.
A company that had been established for less than three years was about to become a hegemon. Even Hua Yao had no choice but to follow its lead and bow its head.
This fact was hard for him to accept, but it was true.
…
15th.
Xing Hai Technologies Headquarters.
Hua Yao signed a number of strategic cooperation agreements with Xing Hai Technologies under the condition that it was not disclosed to the public.
Including joining the "Star Alliance."
Including "supporting the domestic chip industry."
Including "sharing advanced technology, establishing a close alliance," and so on.
In short, the two parties would cooperate closely and assist each other to create a better future.
Of course, these cooperation agreements were signed in secret and would not be made public in the short term. This was to prevent external forces from worrying and counterattacking.
After signing.
Looking at the valiant and overly young Chen Jin, Grandpa Ren said in an envious tone.
Grandpa Ren said in an envious tone, "Young man, my company can give you half of it, and you can give me half of your age. This way, we will have a chance to compete in this world."
Chen Jin shook his head. "President Ren, I don't want your company, but I can give you half of my age. Even so, my chances of winning are still higher. You should acknowledge this."
"Arrogant!" Zhao Ming snorted. He was quite unhappy.
"Hahaha!"
The old man laughed heartily. "In this life, have I not won many battles where I have no chance of winning? Young man, don't be too full of yourself. "
Even though he was almost 80 years old, he still had a spirit that refused to admit defeat.
"That's true."
Chen Jin nodded with admiration. It could be said that it was because there were countless people like the old man who refused to admit defeat and people who fought with all their might even when they did not have much chance of winning that the technology of the Z nation could still reach the first-class advanced level even without the existence of a "cheat" like him.
He still saw the hope of catching up with foreign countries.
