Magic City, the central group.

Huaxia is a very famous chip industry in China, and it is very famous within the industry.

The Center Group is not only very famous in Magic Capital, but also has a certain reputation overseas. Especially after the smartphone came out, many people knew that there was a working core inside the smartphone.

A very critical device - the chip!

Before buying a smartphone, many people must first understand the hardware configuration parameters.

As for hardware configuration and other parameters, it mainly involves data such as chips, memory, storage, etc., which are related to system performance.

It is precisely because of this that the Center Group, as a chip manufacturer, is naturally well known and well-known.

Recently, the pilot production laboratory of the Central Group has been very busy, and it has also attracted the attention of the public.

Haotian Chip, Center Group, and China Microelectronics have jointly produced top-notch chips.

It can be described as a record-breaking high-precision chip that far exceeds overseas.

A miracle!

Of course, although the people wanted to know the situation of the Central Group, they had no chance, after all, the Central Group's degree of confidentiality was very high.

The trial production laboratory is an absolutely secret place for the central group, but the most critical part of the group is also related to the success or failure of mass production of the carrier chip.

If this is to happen, the Central Group can completely produce chips with a 32nm process, and the future is boundless.

But if it fails, the central group needs to pay a high price and waste countless resources.

They have already consumed countless high-end talents and energy, and it is a waste of money and time. Funds are second, but time is extremely precious. If the mass production requirements are not met, and the film formation rate remains around 60%, then for the Center Group, there is no money to be made in the production and process of 32nm chips.

The Central Group has invested countless resources and manpower, just for this kind of high-quality chip, it is simply burning money.

The yield rate is about 60%, then 40% of the materials have to be wasted!

Not only is 40% of the material wasted, but more importantly, quality inspection, to ensure that the chips that flow out are good products. In this process, detection is very difficult, and manpower is a waste.

Faced with such a difficult situation, Zhang Rujing, president of the group, and Liang Mengsong, technical director, often appeared in the laboratory to keep an eye on the progress of the improvement.

Jin Yue recently returned to the Magic City again, and has been staying for another month. This time, he is unable to return to Green City for a short time.

If the yield rate of the chips manufactured by the Central Group cannot be maintained above 85%, then he can basically only stay in the magic capital to assist.

Jinyue also stayed in the trial production laboratory of the Central Group from time to time, followed up the trial production, and wanted to solve the major problem of yield rate.

On the Haotian chip side, in addition to Jinyue, the chip design team is also gathered here, responsible for optimizing and improving technology.

As the person designing the chip, it is of course necessary to stay and assist.

The Haotian chip design team now has a total of more than 80 backbones, and they are basically the best elites of the Haotian chip team.

Among them, doctoral students, master students account for the majority, and most of them are highly intellectuals.

This is also a need for research and development. Without certain capabilities, it is impossible to participate in chip design. The principles, algorithms, etc. involved in this are difficult to handle without the literacy level.

Before the successful trial production of 32nm chips, Haotian Group, Center Group and China Microelectronics Group have made countless efforts.

Fortunately, it was successful in the end, and there were corresponding chip products.

The success of trial production is the primary purpose!

Now we are moving towards the ultimate goal - to achieve mass production!

Now, if you want to turn the experimental products into mass-produced products, you need to improve the yield.

In order to speed up the process, Jin Yue, Zhang Rujing, Liang Mengsong and others have recently come to the trial production laboratory early to follow up on the latest situation.

Fortunately, these people just came to the company, and they came to the chip laboratory of the central group together.

As they walked and chatted, Zhang Rujing took the lead and said, "Mr. Jin, the recent progress in chip improvement seems to have stalled."

Jin Yue nodded slightly, President Zhang, Technical Director Liang, these are the people in power and acquaintances of the Central Group.

He looked distressed and sighed helplessly, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liang, the trial production of the chip was relatively smooth before, but I really didn't expect the improvement of the chip to be so difficult. I don't have much confidence now."

Jin Yue's expression is not very good, there has been no possibility of improvement recently, and he has also encountered many problems.

It's simply a no-brainer!

When Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong heard the words, their faces were also a little disappointed, and the secret thought in their hearts was still the same.

The improvement of the chip manufacturing process is not easy.

The difference is a thousand miles away!

The two of them encouraged, "Mr. Jin, this is to be expected. We still have to work hard to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible and achieve the yield rate of mass production as much as possible."

Their recent efforts are not ineffective, and it can be said that they have ruled out some wrong methods.

Maybe they're stuck on the last step right now, the very hard one.

This is also possible!

The way to improve is to try all possible ways and find the right one.

Jin Yue understands Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong's thoughts, which is to hope that he will not be discouraged for the time being. In fact, he is not discouraged. Recently, Brother Hao came to the magic capital again, and he will definitely pay attention to this matter.

If Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong knew that Brother Hao was already in the magic capital, they would not be so calm.

Brother Hao will definitely come to the Central Group to visit and inspect, so it is natural for them to connect and respond.

Brother Hao's attention to the 32nm chip Liang Chao is very high, and he often comes to ask them about their latest progress to ensure the overall progress.

If that's the case, let's all be worried.

At the same time, he asked Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong to prepare themselves.

So Jin Yue squeezed out a smile and revealed in a low voice, "President Zhang, Director Liang, it's a good thing to have a good mentality, but I have to disclose something properly, Brother Hao is coming to the capital, and he will be at the Center Group soon!"

Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong were both stunned, how could this be possible?

The two of them opened their mouths slightly and their eyes were dull. After a while, they confirmed, "Mr. Jin, is the matter true?"

Jin Yue nodded slightly and said solemnly, "How dare I make a joke about this kind of thing, I believe you will be notified soon."

Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong looked at each other, and they were suffering, and there was no progress recently.

Jin Yue also felt the same way, but he had to learn to accept it, "President Zhang, Director Liang, let's go and have a look first, Brother Hao, we just need to give honest feedback."

Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong nodded slightly, maybe before Brother Hao came, they already had another plan.

It's not impossible!

So they agreed, "Mr. Jin, let's go in and have a look."

Zhang Rujing, Liang Mengsong, Jin Yue and others soon went to the chip trial production laboratory to start related work.

In fact, these three are all elites in this industry, with strong technical reserves and experience, they can give certain ideas.

The day before yesterday, Feng Hao visited and guided Haotian Liying Entertainment Group and Jingying Film and Television and other subsidiaries, and the progress was not bad.

For these subsidiaries, he is still very concerned.

On the whole, these subsidiaries are operating well. It turns out that they can develop just fine. After being acquired by Haotian Liying Entertainment, of course, they have more suitable development prospects.

With the efforts of Mo Xiaolan, they not only gave play to their original advantages, but also continued to innovate channels and reform their structures.

The market is constantly expanding, visibly improving every month.

For the current entertainment industry, market share has become the key.

In the early days of the Internet era, it was the best time to expand the market.

The first is to become bigger and stronger, to accumulate word of mouth, and then to harvest and make profits in the future, and become one of the Big Macs.

Feng Hao understands the truth very well, which makes Mo Xiaolan not aiming at profit in the early stage, but aiming at expanding the market and increasing the scale of revenue.

When the market share is above 70%, this is the best harvest opportunity.

Feng Hao shook his head, no longer thinking about Haotian Liying Entertainment, but about chips.

Yesterday, he was familiarizing and preparing the materials of the Center Group and China Microelectronics.

As for now, he has just returned to Liu Feifei's house and is thinking about the follow-up arrangements.

Tomorrow, he is preparing to leave the Central Group and wants to go over to see if there is any recent progress.

The day after tomorrow, he was going to visit China Microelectronics, but the number of visits to China Microelectronics was actually less.

Center Group and China Microelectronics are very important and have irreplaceable importance!

China Microelectronics is responsible for the production and manufacture of chip production equipment such as lithography machines and etching machines, which are the foundation of chip manufacturing.

The central group is a chip manufacturer, and it is also extremely important to build a relatively complete production line and test production lines.

After Feng Hao settled in the Center Group with a lot of money, he did not spend less time on the group. He holds 49.9% of the shares of the Center Group and is the largest shareholder of the group.

Feng Hao, of course, attaches great importance to chips. With the rise of smartphones, he has already made chip layouts in advance.

First of all, in terms of chip design, Haotian Group has very high design technology. He got the 32nm process chip through the black technology system a long time ago, and got the 16nm chip not long ago, which can be said to be a super killer.

Now the chip technology that the chip R&D center continues to improve is the design scheme of the 32nm process, which is mass-produced as early as possible.

As for the latest 16nm process chip, Feng Hao took it out early and handed it over to Jinyue to arrange study and research and development.

You can't wait until the chips with the 32nm process are completely and stably mass-produced before trying the chips with the 16nm process.

Do things, you must be early!

In terms of chip manufacturing, the center group mainly produces and manufactures chips.

The original production process is not high, but through the introduction of technology from Japan and South Korea, it has also been improved to a certain extent.

In addition, Feng Hao pays special attention to the development of the central group, and directly increases the investment in R&D. The current R&D investment accounts for more than 25% of the revenue, which is a very scary value.

You must know that the investment quota of many large enterprises is only about 10% of the revenue, which is very small.

The Center Group has been cooperating with Haotian Group's chip subsidiary in the trial production of 32nm chips recently.

In terms of chip equipment, China Microelectronics Group is the main group, which has been committed to the research and development of high-end equipment. After being wholly acquired by Haotian Venture Capital, it invested a huge amount of money to develop.

It is not only huge investment in research and development, but also huge investment in equipment and technology, which is as high as one billion.

The chip technology of Japan and South Korea is relatively developed, and there are not too many restrictions at this stage. China Microelectronics caught a loophole and successfully purchased these technologies.

Now, China Microelectronics can design and manufacture quite high-precision etching machines and lithography machines, and then invest huge amounts of money. I believe that more results will be achieved in the future.

At this time, various information flashed through Feng Hao's mind. In the future, the chip must be a very important part.

Smartphones, smart tablets, smart phones, new energy vehicles, the Internet of Things, etc., all require a large number of chips.

Haotian Group does not want to be sanctioned by overseas companies. To achieve better development, it must implement independent innovation and fully localize.

At present, the only place that Haotian Group can be restricted is undoubtedly chip manufacturing and networking. Is it even bigger in chip manufacturing, but Feng Hao is already actively deploying.

Fortunately, the achievements that cannot be achieved now, as long as we continue to invest, Haotian Group will definitely continue to grow and become stronger.

It only took him two or three years to go from starting from scratch to his current billion-dollar fortune, which is a very scary speed.

This can definitely be called technology changing destiny and knowledge changing destiny.

The next day, Feng Hao took Wu Feng, Luo Zijie, and Wu Feng towards the center group.

Just yesterday, Qualcomm released the latest process chip, which is the latest product of Snapdragon. They all use the latest CPU core and support dual-channel 333MHz LPDDR2 memory, and use a more advanced 45nm process, which greatly reduces power consumption.

Qualcomm officially launched a new product, and it is also the chip that will be launched next year, and it is also a product that they have high hopes for.

Of course, the product style has come out, but there is still a certain distance from mass production.

Generally speaking, it will take at least half a year after a new chip launch conference before it can be used by mobile phone manufacturers.

In other words, Xiaolong's latest chip product released last night will not be applied to mobile phones until the middle of next year.

In fact, Qualcomm is preparing to issue a warning to Haotian Group and Haotian Mobile.

After all, Qualcomm has intentionally communicated and contracted with Haotian Group before. Their latest 45nm chip is about to be launched, and they want to reach an order.

However, the Haotian Group has been delaying and has not given a clear response. This made Qualcomm a little flustered and wanted to oppress Haotian Group, so there was this chip conference.

They originally planned to release it at the beginning of next year. At that time, it will just match the development and launch of Haotian mobile phones, but now they have to change the plan.

The chip of a smartphone is the core, or the core of the core, a very critical device.

The improvement of the chip technology is naturally conducive to the development of smartphones and improves the overall performance.

So Qualcomm's chip conference caused waves of sensations in the industry, which was tantamount to a major earthquake.
