Chapter 67 Huayao's Counterattack
Chapter 67 Huayao's Counterattack
Lots of information.
It is indeed possible to build another semiconductor production line, but the capital consumption of building a second production line is high, reaching 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
The first semiconductor production line only cost 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which has tripled.
Even so, there is still no way to start construction.
Now that General Island cannot meet the area requirements, it is naturally impossible to build a second semiconductor production line.
This made Hu Jiangshan very disappointed.
Logically speaking, although General Island is not a big island, its usable area is not small. Why is there not enough space to build a second semiconductor production line?
Yes, it’s a factory.
It’s not that the island is not big enough, but that the factory building doesn’t have enough space.
The current factory building is based on caves.
The total area of the cave is so small that one production line has filled more than half of it, so naturally there will not be enough for the second production line.
So the solution is to build a new factory.
This matter is neither simple nor difficult.
In addition to requiring a large amount of capital, it also takes time.
After all, this is an outlying island of Hong Kong. The roads on the island are not well constructed and there are almost no paved roads. It may not be easy for large construction equipment to come in.
Alas, everything still points to road construction.
If you want to be rich, build roads first. This is really a true saying.
What should we do now? Do we really need to build the road first?
Road construction also requires a construction period.
Although the area of General Island is limited, the terrain is relatively complex and ordinary construction teams cannot handle it. We must find construction teams with excellent technical skills.
The construction period of the road will not be too short, probably starting from half a year.
It took almost a year to build the road network on General Island and then construct the factory.
I really can’t wait!
At this moment, Hu Jiangshan saw another function button.
That's right, a green arrow pointing upwards.
Upgrade button?
Hu Jiangshan tried clicking it, and sure enough, a series of information popped up.
【Clue】: Semiconductor production line upgrading project
[Level]: Intermediate
[Ability Improvement]: 100%
【Basic requirements】: Primary semiconductor production line
【Construction period】: 25 days
【Capital Investment】: 5000 million Hong Kong dollars
Holy crap! It really is the upgrade button for the semiconductor production line.
But when he saw the financial investment in upgrading the production line, Hu Jiangshan was dumbfounded.
Upgrading from primary to intermediate level actually costs 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which is even more expensive than rebuilding a second semiconductor production line.
Hu Jiangshan just received 70 million Hong Kong dollars, is he going to spend it all at once?
But at least this approach is feasible, and at least there is no requirement for the factory area, and it can be upgraded on the spot.
Moreover, once the semiconductor production line reaches the intermediate level, the production capacity can be doubled.
This is equivalent to adding an extra production line.
The construction period is indeed long, taking 25 days, but it is okay and acceptable.
If you think about it, it’s a good deal.
As the production line capacity increases, so will the ability to receive large orders.
Currently, the maximum monthly production capacity of General Island is 12 -inch wafers. After the production line is upgraded, the capacity has been increased to wafers.
In total, a maximum of 10 million chips can be produced per month.
Thinking of this, Hu Jiangshan no longer hesitated and directly pressed the OK button.
The screen switched to a familiar progress bar.
In twenty-five days, there will be a huge improvement in semiconductor production lines.
Hu Jiangshan was a little curious. When the semiconductor production line was upgraded, there was no need to shut down and production could continue.
Is it possible that the hardware has not changed, only the software has been upgraded? Then the upgrade capability is really powerful.
After Hu Jiangshan finished this task, he felt at ease.
Since Hu Jiangshan has taken out his mobile phone, let’s take a look at the situation on social media.
Hu Jiangshan has now developed an occupational disease and has begun to pay attention to the international situation and changes in mainland China's technology circles.
As a result, when I entered Weibo today, I found some interesting topics.
Although the topic is still about Huayao, the style has suddenly changed.
It is totally different from the pessimistic atmosphere of the recent period, but rather a feeling of surprise mixed with a bit of doubt.
[I passed by Huayao store today and found that mate 20 is available in unlimited quantities]
[I've never seen this before! Mate 20 is actually available, although only the high-end version is available, but all colors are available]
[What happened? Huayao Mall has sufficient supply of Mate 20 and can be purchased directly. Is there no shortage of chips? 】
Hu Jiangshan also laughed when he saw this topic.
It seems that Huayao has finally started to fight back against recent public opinion.
There are many ways to fight back, and Huayao chose the most direct one, focusing on hard action.
Didn’t you say I’m short of chips?
Okay, then I will give you an unlimited supply of chips, so that you, the media, the self-media, and the big Vs in the technology circle will know how wrong you are!
By the way, I'll give you a little Huayao shock!
Apparently, this method is quite effective, as these topics have a high number of views, reposts, likes, and comments.
There was even a topic that became a hot topic.
[Mate 20 is available, and long queues are forming at Huayao stores again]
Hu Jiangshan clicked on it.
The text content is relatively short, basically the same as the title.
[This Huayao store has a large number of Mate 20s arriving, and many people have heard about it and lined up to buy them. ]
According to the blogger, the store sold nearly 200 mate 20 phones that day, which was quite popular.
You have to know that this is just one store. If the same situation occurs in other stores, the sales volume will be very astonishing.
Mate 20 is Huayao’s flagship phone and is very expensive.
Since it is a hot topic, there will naturally be a lot of comments.
There are now nearly 10,000 comments.
"Fuck! Hua Yao is alive?"
"No way? Didn't Huayao say it no longer has chips?"
"You have misunderstood. It is Huayao Future that cannot buy chips, not that it has no inventory."
"What inventory is there? Huayao is out of chips right now. I couldn't buy a Mate 20 a while ago."
"Yes, the prices of second-hand Mate 20 phones have skyrocketed."
"Can anyone explain why Huayao is selling so well on the Mate 20? Where do these Kirin 990s come from?"
"Could it be just Huayao's last gasp?"
"Maybe Hua Yao is bluffing, but what does he want?"
"To understand Huayao, we should not fight for bread but for dignity."
"You're overthinking it. Huayao should have a lot of Kirin 990 inventory, and now is the perfect time to digest it."
"What are you still digesting? The high-end chips are extremely important to Huayao now, so we must use them sparingly. If we use them all now, will we be left with nothing in the future?"
"There is only one possibility. Huayao is ready to give up its mobile phone business."
Hu Jiangshan opened Huayao Mall again and found that the mate 20 mobile phone was still in stock.
How daring! I don’t know how much Huayao invested this time, but it’s obviously not a small amount.
