Chapter 56 Huayao's supply chain is under great pressure
Chapter 56 Huayao's supply chain is under great pressure
Huang Chao and others saw that the computer had successfully turned on and thought there was hope, but they were not overly excited, after all, this was only the first step.
They worked separately to conduct comprehensive process testing on the Kirin 990.
This set of samples includes sealed finished chips, unpackaged chips, and more original wafers, so the inspection is not cumbersome.
Everyone is an old hand, so they are naturally familiar with it.
Wu Xueming was doing nothing nearby, feeling uneasy and unhappy.
As mentioned before, Wu Xueming is a super sea turtle, a level 19 employee of Huayao, and a big shot in the department. But now he has become a transparent person and has been excluded.
However, Wu Xueming did not think he had done anything wrong. He believed that these people were just working in vain.
Wu Xueming has heard it just now. It is a set of Kirin 990 chips for testing.
Although I don't know which company produced this product, it is definitely not a big manufacturer.
Any wafer manufacturing company that can be named will no longer cooperate with Huayao.
Therefore, this set of chips must be scrap. Even if it can be powered on, the measured data will not be ideal.
Thinking of this, Wu Xueming made a cup of coffee and continued to watch calmly.
I believe we will soon see the disappointed expressions on these people’s faces.
Just then, someone suddenly said loudly: "Wow, this craftsmanship is amazing! It's so neat!"
When the others heard it, they immediately came over and burst into exclamations and praises.
"Really? This is really great technology! Look at the density of these transistors, it must be below ten nanometers!"
"Let me see... Yo, why do I feel that the process completeness and transistor density are better than before?"
"I say, Brother Chao, who made this? It doesn't look like Huaxin International's technology."
"What are you talking about? It's definitely not Huaxin International. Their process technology is not up to par."
When Wu Xueming heard this, the coffee in his hand no longer smelled good.
What's going on? Is the process good?
What nonsense!
Wu Xueming put down his coffee cup and couldn't help but walk forward.
At this time, an enlarged image of the chip's transistors is being displayed on a large screen.
Densely packed small dots are distributed in a square.
This square is the volume of the chip.
Use instruments to magnify the chip and form the image on the screen.
Wu Xueming is an expert. He can tell the level of chip manufacturing technology just by looking at the picture.
This density is definitely at the process level of less than ten nanometers.
No, it may even reach seven nanometers!
More importantly, after being magnified, the transistors are arranged neatly, and the gaps between them are even, with almost no visible gaps.
Wu Xueming's scalp tingled, and he was stunned and speechless.
What they said just now was right, this craftsmanship is truly unparalleled!
It absolutely cannot be from Huaxin International!
It is impossible for TSMC and Sansang to manufacture for Huayao again...
Which company is responsible for this?
Wu Xueming felt more and more weird.
At the same time, Wu Xueming also felt a little regretful. He thought he had resigned too early and should have observed for a few more days before taking action.
When it was almost time to get off work, Wu Xueming became even more agitated.
Because Huang Chao has already released the test results, the preliminary assessment is actually "excellent".
This is an excellent result, which means I have definitely passed.
Looking at the cheering crowd, Wu Xueming felt angry, hateful and regretful, and felt like he had been fooled.
At the same time, Huayao headquarters building.
Wang Chengdong was drinking coffee in his office while casually browsing the web. Wang Chengdong pays close attention to online trends and often checks major social media.
However, recent online public opinion is very unfriendly to Huayao.
But it doesn’t matter. Wang Chengdong is a man with a big heart and amazing endurance.
Soon, these netizens who are unaware of the truth will realize that Huayao is not so easily defeated.
And this time, with the help of a noble person, Huayao will be able to climb out of the quagmire more easily.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
The door opened and two people walked in.
It turned out to be Li Long and Cao Guoping.
Li Long is the vice president of Huayao's mobile terminal business and is considered Wang Chengdong's deputy.
Cao Guoping is the general manager of Huayao's supply chain department.
Wang Chengdong was very happy to see the two people coming in.
"Hey, it's quite unusual to see you two together, come and sit down."
Li Xi and the other person sat down.
Wang Chengdong called his assistant to make a cup of American coffee for each of them.
Wang Chengdong asked: "What are you doing here?"
Li Long coughed lightly: "Old Cao is not feeling very stable here, so I want to come and talk to you."
"Ah? Not feeling very secure?"
As he spoke, Wang Chengdong looked at Cao Guoping.
Cao Guoping's condition was indeed not very good. He looked listless, his eyes were red, and even his hair was messy, as if he hadn't slept for several days.
Li Long said, "Yes, Lao Wang, didn't you say last time that the problem might be solved soon? But you didn't give me any accurate information. How will it be solved? When will it be solved? So I'm not sure."
Wang Chengdong couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that not only Cao Guoping is uneasy, but Li Long is the same.
During the regular high-level meeting two days ago, Wang Chengdong took the time to talk to Li Long and mentioned some ambiguous things.
In fact, few people in Huayao knew about Hu Jiangshan’s existence, and even Li Long didn’t know the details.
After all, this matter is too sensitive. It must be kept confidential to the greatest extent possible before it is finalized, and not too many people can know about it.
Of course, for people like Li Long and Cao Guoping, who are core executives, it’s no problem for them to know this.
Wang Chengdong thought about it and decided to tell the whole thing to prevent the management from making misjudgments and mistakes.
At this time, Cao Guoping said: "Mr. Wang, our supply chain department is under great pressure now. We can't get the chips. Can we place orders for other parts? You don't know that the suppliers are also very anxious now. They are worried that we can't renew the contract. Some suppliers have signed exclusive contracts with us and rely on Huayao to survive."
Huayao's supply chain system is very large and complicated. Due to the large sales volume of Huayao mobile phones, many suppliers are well-off and live a happy and fulfilling life.
If Huayao is really unable to produce products such as mobile phones and tablets, many component suppliers will face great operational difficulties, or even be unable to survive at all.
Wang Chengdong smiled and said, "Don't worry, you two, we have a preliminary solution now."
When they heard this, they almost jumped up from the sofa.
Li Long couldn't help but ask, "Old Wang, how do we solve this problem? Have you found a new supplier?"
Cao Guoping glanced at Li Long with an expression that seemed to say, "How naive, this is impossible."
Unexpectedly, Wang Chengdong smiled and said, "We have indeed found a supplier."
"what!?"
"What!?"
