Chapter 23 This is a super semiconductor production line
Chapter 23 This is a super semiconductor production line
Of course, whether it is actually so easy to use and whether it can achieve the parameters on paper still needs to be tried.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Rui discovered even more shocking information.
The production consumables required for the entire production line, such as sand, chemicals and other materials, are very low.
Both the demand and the quality of materials are far below the benchmark requirements.
Zhang Rui's eyes widened. "Is this possible? Mr. Hu? Is the information here true?"
Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Of course this still needs to be confirmed in production, but I have confidence in these devices."
Zhang Rui asked again: "Mr. Hu, which company does this equipment come from? Why are there no brand logos?"
Hu Jiangshan replied: "Well, I can't tell you that yet. It's confidential."
Zhang Rui nodded immediately after hearing this: "I understand, I understand, I get it!"
Zhang Rui may have misunderstood and thought that these devices were China's secret weapons.
However, there is nothing wrong with thinking this way in essence, so Hu Jiangshan just lets the other party think this way.
Zhang Rui looked excited, like a pirate who saw countless treasures.
The more I study it, the more I feel that this semiconductor production line is so advanced!
Zhang Rui is engaged in semiconductor research, so he has naturally seen a lot of related equipment. He also found that this production line has a great degree of freedom, which allows operators to give full play to their abilities.
This is exactly what Zhang Rui needs!
Zhang Rui studied the console for more than two hours. After being reminded by Hu Jiangshan, he looked away with a look of unsatisfied interest.
Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui returned to the Seahorse.
Before Hu Jiangshan could speak, Zhang Rui said, "Mr. Hu, I want to build a team and use this production line to manufacture semiconductors. I wonder if you mean..."
Hu Jiangshan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course it's no problem. I couldn't ask for more. I feel much more at ease with a top talent like you in charge."
Seeing how eager Zhang Rui is, he would rush to do it even if he is not paid.
There was no way. As a scientific research fanatic, Zhang Rui was too shocked today.
With such good equipment, it was hard for Zhang Rui not to be tempted.
Zhang Rui even had the urge to start the production line and try this method to produce wafers.
Of course Hu Jiangshan couldn't treat such a talented person unfairly, so he offered Zhang Rui a very competitive salary.
When the two talked about this, they naturally hit it off.
Hu Jiangshan asked Zhang Rui to form a team. Zhang Rui was responsible for recruiting his employees, while Hu Jiangshan was the final reviewer.
As the saying goes, trust the people you employ; if you don't trust them, don't employ them. Hu Jiangshan believes that Zhang Rui can do a good job and he also believes that he can do his best.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Rui asked to go back to the cave factory to further study the system of the semiconductor production line.
Hu Jiangshan agreed and gave Zhang Rui permission to enter the factory.
As for the contract, there is no rush. I will draft a good one and then sign it with Zhang Rui.
It was already evening when the two returned to Hong Kong Island by boat.
Hu Jiangshan and Zhang Rui had another meal and discussed the details.
To be honest, there are only two of them now, and it is very stressful to build a professional semiconductor team in a short period of time.
But it doesn't matter. Zhang Rui also has some connections. He has many classmates, both younger and older students. He can talk to them and see if they are willing to come and work.
The prerequisite is that it must be reliable, and the number of people does not need to be too large.
After all, the production is almost fully automatic and only requires professional operators and scientific researchers.
Hu Jiangshan returned to Lishan Apartment in Taiping Mountain.
Hu Jiangshan took a shower and then found a new newspaper at the door. It was the latest issue of Sing Tao Daily.
Hu Jiangshan took the newspaper and sat on the sofa to read it.
The front-page headline in the technology section of Sing Tao Daily caught Hu Jiangshan's attention.
Hu Jiangshan roughly scanned the content of the report.
Sure enough, it is basically the same as the historical trend.
But what’s different from last time is that this time they acted very strongly and wanted to cut off the source completely.
If the proposal is passed, chip foundry giant TSMC will no longer be able to manufacture chips for Huayao, whether they are advanced process chips or mainstream process chips.
Such changes have indeed made time more urgent.
There is not much time left for Huayao.
Hu Jiangshan put down the newspaper and sighed.
I don’t know whether TSMC will give Huayao the green light and seize the time to give priority to the production of Huayao’s chips.
If it were the same as in the previous life, Huayao would have prepared more than 10 million Kirin chips in advance, which would have lasted for two years.
But if the direction is different from the previous life, then it will be troublesome.
Huayao Mobile Phones will soon face the dilemma of having no chips available, and its overseas market will definitely be wiped out.
Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan's production line has been completed, and once Zhang Rui has formed his team, he can come to the rescue.
At the same time, in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Huayao headquarters.
It was already 8:30 in the evening, but Huayao's several office buildings were still brightly lit.
The atmosphere in a high-level meeting room was very solemn.
Every participant was in a bad mental state. Some frowned, some sighed, and some looked angry.
These people are all Huayao’s top executives, and the most core ones.
At this time, a slightly accented, somewhat old voice said: "This is what happened. What do you think now?"
The person who spoke was Mr. Ren Yunfei, the founder of Huayao and also the spiritual leader of Huayao.
Xu Zhijun said, "Mr. Ren, Ms. Meng is now..."
Ren Yunfei waved his hand: "No, no, no, don't talk about her at the meeting, let's talk about chips."
The Mr. Meng that Mr. Xu mentioned is Meng Xiaozhou.
Now her situation is very difficult and troublesome.
Xu Zhijun thought for a moment and said, "Has TSMC officially rejected it now?"
Sun Yahong snorted coldly: "Rejected, rejected directly. They will first stop the production of our flagship processor chips, and the mobile phone business will be hit first."
Everyone looked at another person, Wang Chengdong, the head of consumer business.
Wang Chengdong was filled with anger. If he hadn't been at the meeting, he would have started swearing.
TSMC's attitude is indeed unacceptable.
Wang Chengdong said: "There is not much chip inventory now. Fortunately, a batch of chips has been shipped back, but there are only 1.5 million chips."
Everyone was silent.
One and a half million flagship processor chips would not last more than a month based on the current sales volume of Huayao mobile phones.
No, half a month is enough.
