"Zhang Nyujin is indeed extraordinary, and has predicted the end of Huajing Chip Company." Xu Zhenming couldn't help but praise him secretly.

He is a rebirth person, and he naturally knows that Huajing Chip Company will transfer shares, as if only 50% of the shares were sold for $50 million.If this is the case, Yiming Group Company only needs to prepare four to five billion in cash.

By then, Xu Zhenming can just eat Huajing Chip Company and build a giant chip manufacturing company in Asia.

Relatively speaking, Yiming Group Company is more promising than Huajing Chip Company.Yiming Group can develop its own chips, don't take the path of foundry chips, and don't need to look at others' faces.

With this in mind, Xu Zhenming has already made a decision to follow the changes of Huajing Chip Company at any time.

"Zhang, our group company has a national layout, and next year's chip production capacity will explode. You should pay attention to the training of professional echelon talents."

Xu Zhenming motioned to Zhang Nyjin, and the two moved to discuss Zhang Nyjin's office.

"Xu Dong, it seems uneconomical for our group company to set up those 3-inch and 4-inch silicon wafer factories." On the way, Zhang Neojin frowned slightly to Xu Zhenming's proposal.

In his opinion, Xu Zhenming put into production the second-hand chip production line compensated by the islanders and Americans, and the capital utilization rate was not high and it was not cost-effective.

But if these production lines are not used, and these production lines are scrapped, it will be too costly.According to his idea, these production lines should be transferred to other domestic enterprises. Wouldn't it be better to exchange them for cash?

But Xu Zhenming disagrees with his view, "Zhang, in the near future, home appliances in our country will explode. For example, TV sets, washing machines, air conditioners, refrigerators, etc., will defeat foreigners' products. These products are needed. Chips."

According to Xu Zhenming's logic, in order to reduce costs, domestic electrical appliances companies will buy a set of Longteng EDA software back and design their own chips.

And where are the chips designed by these companies going to be foundry?

The Longbow Group's production capacity is not enough, and it is too late to supply itself; if you go to Wanwantai Electrical and Mechanical Services for OEM, you will need to spend US dollars in foreign exchange.These companies can only choose Yiming Group.In this way, what is so scary about Yiming Group?

In addition to home appliance companies, future mobile phone companies are also big players.Those mobile phone companies can only come to Yiming Group as an OEM.

In another time and space, Wanwantai Electrical and Mechanical Co., Ltd. started with the mainland market.

This time, Xu Zhenming must seize the opportunity to build Mingxin Manufacturing Company.

"So, Mr. Zhang, you must lead the team to keep researching the new Foundry production process to reduce production costs. As long as we achieve the lowest cost in the world, we are not afraid of no business."

After some analysis, Xu Zhenming warned Zhang NdJin earnestly that the cost of the future chip manufacturing industry is the most important.He knows that the history of Moss Electric is to win the market with technology and cost.

After hearing these words, Zhang Neojin nodded solemnly.

Although he has few shares, he is still one of the shareholders of Mingxin Manufacturing Company.Mingxin Manufacturing Company's business is his own business.

Besides, Xu Zhenming has promised that once Hu Mingzhen’s FinFET process technology is successful, their team members will once again acquire 5% of Mingxin Manufacturing Company.

The current Mingxin Manufacturing Company has two 0.8-micron and three 0.6-micron chip production lines, and its fixed assets have exceeded 3 billion yuan.

Not to mention that after obtaining FinFET process technology, the manufacturing capacity of these five production lines will reach the world's advanced level.By then, the market value of Mingxin Manufacturing Company will exceed 20 billion, and 5% of its shares will be worth 1 billion.

Even so, someone paid 20 billion yuan to buy Mingxin Manufacturing Company. Will Xu Zhenming sell it?No one will sell this kind of golden phoenix that will lay golden eggs.

With this in mind, Zhang Neojin solemnly promised to Mr. Xu, “I will hurry up to train the team members and cooperate with Mr. Hu’s team to try to bring out the FinFET process technology as soon as possible. Oh... I almost forgot. Mr. Hu followed I called, it seems that the FinFET process technology has made a breakthrough."

"Eh?" Xu Zhenming couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

FinFET process technology can increase the utilization rate of silicon wafers by 30%-40%.Once breakthrough progress can be made, Mingxin Manufacturing's 0.6-micron chip production line can reach the performance of a 0.35-micron chip production line.

If so, the [RSICMMX] instruction set developed by Zhou Jianwei's team can be easily implemented, and Yiming Lab can develop a Suzaku CPU with a standard clocked frequency of 266MHZ.

At that time, Yiming Group's CPU performance will overtake in a corner, officially surpassing Intel Corporation.

Is this okay?

Hurry up to call Hu Mingzhen to discuss together.

Said Cao Cao arrived.

At this time, Hu Mingzhen knocked on the door with a smile, "What good things are you two talking about, with smiles on your faces?"

"We are talking about your team. Hahahaha!" Zhang Nyjin laughed as always.He loves to laugh, he likes to open his mouth and laugh, which is different from Wang Guoyou's shy smile.

Xu Zhenming was also smiling, "Come here, sit here, President Hu. Tell me about your situation." He pointed to the sofa next to him and smiled.

Relatively speaking, Hu Mingzhen is very calm, showing a scholarly temperament.

He calmly sat down beside Xu Zhenming, picked up a cup of green tea made by Zhang Neojin, and slowly held the green tea in the cup with the teacup lid."Xu Dong, we have made a breakthrough, but it is still not ideal." After a sip of tea, he said slowly.

"What's the situation?" Xu Zhenming asked impatiently.

"The 0.6-micron lithography machine can reach about 0.4 micron. The 0.8-micron lithography machine is better, and it can reach about 0.5 micron." Hu Mingzhen said frowningly.

According to his vision, the FinFET process technology should not be so bad, which may be related to the accuracy of the equipment.

Hearing these words, Xu Zhenming laughed happily, "This is enough for President Hu. We can at least take out a 200MHz CPU in early 1997. By then, we will give the Americans a surprise."

The competition in the chip manufacturing industry is so fierce. If the Yiming Group Company lags behind the U.S. CPU manufacturing technology by two generations, it will not make much profit.

If it is only one generation behind and the Americans eat meat, Yiming Group can also drink broth.

Besides, there is still room for improvement in FinFET technology. By 1997, it may take a big step forward.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming was very happy.

"Xu Dong, I originally discussed with Lao Zhang to do another experiment. Maybe I can master more advanced process technology this time. It's just... it's just that the cost is higher."

At this time, Hu Mingzhen raised his eyes to look at Xu Zhenming and said his intentions.An experiment would cost at least about 200 million yuan, so he had to be cautious.

Hearing that production will be stopped for testing, Zhang Nyjin's brows wrinkled and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

During the test, the 0.6-micron chip production line has to be shut down and there will be economic losses; moreover, the process test will consume a lot of expensive imported materials.Together, the 200 million yuan test fee cannot be paid.Therefore, chip manufacturing is not something that ordinary companies can afford.

Seeing the expressions of these two people, Xu Zhenming smiled instead.

"You two will make the test cost plan immediately, and I will approve it immediately. In addition, it is best to prepare to put the immersion process technology together for the test. We will approve the test cost together." He waved his hand at will and decided Spend 400 million yuan for two trials.

"Xu Dong, why do you want to do the immersion process test immediately?"

"Yes, Dong Xu, isn't it about using the third-generation lithography machine for the immersion process test?"

Hearing this, Hu Mingzhen and Zhang Nyjin were surprised.

The two of them didn't expect Xu Zhenming to be so anxious. There must be a problem.

Xu Zhenming looked at the surprised appearance of the two people, and said solemnly: "The project of the Changgong Group's Jiangxia Optical Research Institute has a problem. It may not be able to bring out the laser light source system, laser light path system and lens system on time.

According to Xu Zhenming's intention, at present, only the Jiang Xia Guang Research Institute's project can be spared on the spot.

If so, what will the Americans do next year with a 300MHZ Pentium CPU?

Will the Suzaku series of chips still follow others?If you don't keep up, the Suzaku series CPU will be eliminated sooner or later.Be behind, step by step.This kind of thing can't be sloppy.

Therefore, Xu Zhenming is willing to take the money out, and must bring the chip manufacturing technology of Mingxin Manufacturing Company to the level of 0.25 microns.If so, Yiming Group's chip manufacturing road will be stable.

"Oh!" Zhang Nyjin and Hu Mingzhen suddenly realized.They all have heavy faces and feel the pressure on their shoulders.

Especially in Hu Mingzhen, he has only seen the design papers of immersion lithography machine.For the process technology in this area, data can only be obtained through experiments.

For example, what kind of liquid is most suitable for the lithography head?The lithography head needs to do those protections... etc., etc.

"I think it is more appropriate to use pure-grade soft water as the laser refraction medium." Seeing Hu Mingzhen's face very heavy, Xu Zhenming smiled.

Although he is not an expert in this field, he has heard that the process technology of immersion lithography machine seems to be pure water as the best medium.

Through the calculation of refractive index, the immersion process technology can change the 0.6 micron lithography machine into 0.42 micron.If the FinFET process technology is added, Yiming Group has to achieve a 0.25 micron-level chip manufacturing process, which is completely fine.

By then, the Chinese and Americans will finally be on the same starting line!

If the Yiming Group Company mastered the 0.25 micron chip manufacturing process, the Americans would cancel the restriction on this level of lithography machine.Yiming Group can buy the third-generation lithography machine back, and Huaguo's chip manufacturing accuracy can be further improved.

But this is all fantasy, who knows the future changes?

Therefore, Hu Mingzhen stood up with a serious expression, "Xu Dong, I will set up a project immediately after I go back to include the immersion lithography process technology in the test category. But you have to prepare funds for me."

"No problem. For a project such as a laser light source system, I have burned more than 300 million. Will I still deduct funds for projects within our group company?"

Xu Zhenming smiled and joked with Hu Mingzhen.In any case, Yiming Group has released another computerized embroidery machine that makes money, and the cash flow is definitely no problem.

Xu Zhenming saw that Zhang Nyujin's account of the affairs was almost the same, so he also got up to leave, and walked towards the laboratory area of ​​the steel structure factory with Hu Mingzhen.

On the road, Hu Mingzhen was worried, "Xu Dong, Jiang Xiaguang Research Institute is unreliable, we can't change the research unit?" He frowned and suggested to Xu Zhenming.

Hu Mingzhen also has a research project on the KrF lithography machine, which was originally planned to produce results at the end of 1996.Now it seems to have fallen through, maybe it will be postponed indefinitely.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu. Our group company has established Jiangxia Yiming Optics Valley Company to develop its own laser light sources, optical instruments and lens systems." Xu Zhenming told Hu Mingzhen of his latest investment plan.

Once this investment project is successful, Mingxin Manufacturing Company's masks can be produced by itself, and material costs will be saved a lot.

"Tomorrow I will be in Feijinmen City, where I will invest in a chemical park that specializes in the production of pure chemical reagents such as photoresist, HCL and HF. Therefore, our situation will get better and better."

In the end, Xu Zhenming smiled and revealed the investment plans of some group companies.

Photoresist products were produced in China in the 1970s.With the shrinking market and the influx of foreign products, these chemical products are no longer produced in China.

In order to reduce dependence on the island country's supply chain, Xu Zhenming picked up these chemical products again.This has to make people feel sad.

"Hey..." After hearing Xu Zhenming's introduction, Hu Mingzhen shook his head helplessly.

The two broke up outside Factory No. 17, Hu Mingzhen went to his laboratory, and Xu Zhenming walked towards He Changlin's laboratory.

He Changlin had been waiting at the gate of No.17 factory.He saw Xu Zhenming coming, and quickly made a gesture of request with a smile, "Xu Dong, please. Our YM-PLC prototype is here."

"How is the situation? Is there any good performance of Delta PLC?" Xu Zhenming asked casually, following He Changlin.

Delta PLC's sales in China are good, and it is the most cost-effective product.If customers choose high-end PLC, the first choice is Siemens, and the second grade is the island country's Mitsubishi and other brands.

Therefore, Xu Zhenming's first goal is to surpass Delta, the price is cheaper, and the performance is better than Delta PLC.If there is a high-end PLC, it is best to compete with Siemens.As a result, there is no market for island countries’ PLCs on the mainland.

Xu Zhenming is not targeting special island countries, but because they must target island countries.Otherwise, Yiming Group's silicon wafer industry and chip industry will be affected.

Only if Yiming Group Company defeats the island nations and Wanwan enterprises, can it eat most of its market share.

At this time, He Changlin stopped, turned his head and started joking with Xu Zhenming, "Xu Dong, you too underestimate me? How can we be worse than Delta PLC? What level of chip manufacturing process do they use? We use the 0.6-micron manufacturing process. Few companies in the world are so extravagant."

He Changlin told Xu Zhenming that the performance of the YM-PLC testing machine of Yiming Group can compete with Siemens.As for several brands in the island country, he didn't take it seriously either.

"amount?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhenming suddenly became more interested, with a little expectation in his heart.
