Chapter 57 The process technology has also reached the standard
Cao Guoping asked hurriedly: "Mr. Wang, is it the chip supplier? What chips are they supplying? Gaoxin or Lianda?"
Cao Guoping misunderstood and thought that the chip supplier Wang Chenglong was referring to was the one that resold processor chips from other manufacturers.
Wang Chengdong said: “Neither.”
"……what is that?"
“It’s our Kirin chip.”
“…Ah?”
Li Long and Cao Gaoping's eyes almost popped out.
Li Long smiled bitterly and said, "Old Wang, stop teasing us. I want to have a wafer manufacturing plant that can do foundry work for us in my dreams."
Cao Guoping said, "Yes, Mr. Wang, please don't make fun of us. It's already late, think of a solution quickly."
Wang Chengdong put the coffee on the table and whispered, "We did find a foundry, but it's a little unpopular. We have already signed a contract of intent for OEM and will soon sign a formal contract."
"What the hell! Have you signed the contract?!"
"When did it happen?"
"There's not a single rumor!"
"Old Wang, you are not kidding, right?"
Wang Chengdong waved his hand: "Don't get excited, just listen to me."
So Wang Chengdong told the two of them about Hu Jiangshan in Hong Kong.
Li Long and Cao Guoping were both stunned and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
Li Long thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Can we trust Hong Kong's technology companies? Lao Wang, is this really not a scam?"
Cao Guoping also said: "Yes, this needs to be confirmed. Theoretically, it is impossible for such high-tech enterprises to emerge in Hong Kong Island. The soil is not there! Not to mention semiconductor manufacturing enterprises with such high barriers to entry."
Wang Chengdong spread his hands: "But it just appeared."
Seeing that the two still didn't believe him, Wang Chengdong said, "Boss Xu and I are very cautious and asked them to do the tape-out."
Li Long stared and asked, "What happened next? Was the tape-out successful?"
"Success."
"Tested?"
Wang Chengdong nodded: "Our chip testing department has already tested it, and the results are very good."
Li Long and Cao Guoping were silent for a moment, staring at Wang Chengdong with wide eyes.
Wang Chengdong knew that this matter was beyond the comprehension of insiders and the two of them could not digest it in a short time.
Wang Chengdong added: "By the way, the new version of the Kirin chip samples have been sent to Haixi, and the process technology is being tested now."
Li Long and Cao Guoping looked at each other.
Wang Chengdong had said this, and they basically believed part of it, but not completely.
It’s not that they suspected Wang Chengdong was lying, but they really didn’t dare to believe it completely.
If I really believed it 100%, I would be even more disappointed if it turned out not to be the case.
Without hope, there is no disappointment.
Just then, Wang Chengdong's cell phone on his desk rang.
Wang Chengdong stood up, picked up his phone, looked at it, and said, "Oh, Fang Haitao called."
Li and Cao stood up at the same time.
Fang Haitao is a department director at HiXi Semiconductor. Could it be that there is test feedback for the new version of Kirin chip that was sent for testing?
Wang Chengdong answered the phone.
"Hey, um, it's convenient, go ahead."
"...Is that so? I see. That's great. Then continue testing. Test thoroughly. The more detailed the better. Try to find as many problems as possible."
"Okay, that's it, bye."
After Wang Chengdong hung up the phone, Li Long and Cao Guoping began to ask questions anxiously.
"Boss Wang, are the test results from Haixi coming out?"
"Can the manufacturing process meet the standards?" Wang Chengdong motioned for the two to sit down and said, "You two should rest assured. The preliminary test results are out. There is no problem with the manufacturing process. It is confirmed to be 7 nanometers, which is basically the same level as TSMC."
The other two were delighted.
Both testing departments passed the tests, which means that this set of chip samples is reliable.
The only question now is whether the other party can successfully mass-produce it.
This is also the most critical point.
No matter how beautiful or perfect the chip sample is, it will be useless if it cannot be mass-produced.
However, at least this gives Huayao great hope.
Cao Guoping hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Wang, what about the parts suppliers? Should we increase the order?"
Wang Chengdong fell into deep thought.
It is indeed very embarrassing now. If we don’t place an order, even if the chip supply is solved, mobile phones will be out of stock.
Especially now is the critical period for preparing for the next-generation flagship mobile phone P30 series. If component suppliers temporarily stop production, it will be difficult to increase production capacity.
But the problem is that if the chip supply cannot be successfully resolved in the end, and a large number of parts are ordered, they will be stuck in their hands at that time, which means a lot of money!
Wang Chengdong gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Cao! Place the order! Contact the supplier and ask them to prepare the stock as soon as possible!"
Wang Chengdong just hopes that Hu Jiangshan won't let him down.
The next day, Futian Port.
Li Changxi passed the customs and came to Guangzhou-Shenzhen.
There is a beautiful girl next to him.
The girl's name is He Yiting, and she was the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong last year, in 2017.
Li Changxi had been involved with He Yiting for a long time, but the person he really had his eyes on was Shen Lan. He would only ask He Yiting out to play when he had nothing to do.
Li Changxi has a follower named Ah Hu, who is very skilled and a good bodyguard.
Li Changxi looked up and saw all kinds of tall buildings. He couldn't help but curl his lips and felt that they were very unfashionable.
Li Changxi doesn't like the mainland very much, which is similar to his grandfather Li Chaoren.
This time he came to Guangzhou and Shenzhen to meet and play with some friends.
At this moment, Li Changxi suddenly saw a person and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"...Hu Jiangshan?"
He Yiting was stunned for a moment: "Hu Jiangshan? The young master of the Hu family? Is that him?"
Li Changxi nodded: "Why did this kid come to Guangzhou and Shenzhen?"
"Maybe you're here to play?"
"No, come here to play alone?"
He Yiting thought about it and it made sense. Rich second-generation young men like them always hang out with their friends. It would be useless to play alone.
He Yiting said: "Maybe he's here on a date with someone."
Li Changxi rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go and follow him."
"…With him? Why?"
"See what he's up to."
At this time, Hu Jiangshan didn't know that he was being followed, and he didn't expect that the person following him was Li Changxi.
Hu Jiangshan once again came to Fumao Times Square.
Hu Jiangshan came today to formally sign a contract with Huayao, and the contract was for this shopping mall.
After all, this is the most convenient place.
It was still the Pacific Café. Hu Jiangshan arrived a little early, so he ordered a cup of American coffee and drank it while waiting.
Not far away, Li Changxi, He Yiting and three others also sat down.
