Chapter 79: Only Huayao is a Client
Chapter 79: Huayao is the only client
The situation in this cave really made Li Long and Zhang Dahui feel shocked, incredible and unbelievable.
You have to know that Zhang Dahui is a pure technical person, and Li Long was also a technical backbone before he was transferred to a management position. He is not a layman who knows nothing.
The semiconductor production line in front of us is actually running, and its efficiency is quite high.
More importantly, those being manufactured and processed are twelve-inch wafers.
Twelve-inch wafers are generally only used for chips with advanced processes.
Li Long and Zhang Dahui stared blankly, speechless, as if time had stood still.
Hu Jiangshan was not in a hurry and waited for them to digest the information.
After a while, the two finally slowly returned to reality and began to ask questions here and there.
If it hadn't happened so suddenly and without prior preparation, Hu Jiangshan would probably have been very busy.
But Hu Jiangshan is indeed very professional.
Whether it is an operational issue or a technical issue, I have said everything that can be said. If there is something that cannot be said, I will just say a few words to get by with it.
Then, Hu Jiangshan took Li Long and Zhang Dahui to the central control room.
Wow, this time the amount of information is even greater. Li Long and Zhang Dahui were shocked for a while.
Li Long originally planned to visit for only an hour, but he didn't expect that what he saw was so much, so diverse and so shocking that it stretched to two and a half hours.
When the three came out of the cave factory, it was already noon.
Hu Jiangshan invited Li Long and Zhang Dahui to the office building, which again caused the two to exclaim in amazement.
It can be said that Huayao’s executives and employees are also worldly-wise, especially when it comes to office buildings.
But it was the first time they had seen an island resort-style office building.
This holiday atmosphere is unparalleled.
The three of them came to Hu Jiangshan's office.
The central air conditioning is on 24 hours a day, and the room is very cool.
At this time, Li Long asked: "Mr. Hu, I heard from Lao Wang that another 300,000 chips have been completed."
"Correct."
"That……"
"As long as the logistics and transportation can be arranged, the goods can be delivered at any time in the next two days."
"it is good!"
Li Long clenched his fists excitedly.
Recently, Huayao released the mate 20 mobile phone, which indeed caused quite a stir on the Internet, and the senior management of Huayao was actually under a lot of pressure.
The Kirin 990 chip inventory originally consisted of less than three million pieces, but now the order volume has increased significantly, and one million pieces of inventory have been booked out in just a few days.
If Hu Jiangshan had not replenished 300,000 chips, several core executives of Huayao's mobile terminal department might not even be able to sleep well.
Li Long came here now to conduct an inspection and evaluation of Hu Jiangshan.
If the evaluation is passed, Huayao will place a large order.
Li Long asked: "Mr. Hu, I remember you said that this company was founded by your friend, right?"
Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Of course."
"Then your friend..."
Hu Jiangshan touched his nose and said, "Well, he is a technical expert, but he is on a business trip and is not here at the moment. I am in charge of this place."
This answer was not perfect, but Li Long had no choice but to accept it.
Li Long's eyes flickered: "Mr. Hu, I have a very important question. I wonder if you can give me an answer."
"Well, Mr. Li, just ask, I will answer all your questions."
“Who are the customers of this wafer fab?”
Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Now there is only Huayao." "Only us?"
"Correct."
To be honest, Li Long was very surprised.
Because the investment in semiconductor production lines is very huge, especially the construction of advanced production lines, money alone is not enough.
Won’t we lose money if we only have Huayao as our client?
At this time, Hu Jiangshan said calmly: "Mr. Li, don't worry about this. I think for a long time in the future, we will only accept Chinese customers."
Li Long looked at Hu Jiangshan and understood.
At the same time, Li Long was also somewhat moved.
This Hu Jiangshan is not simple! He can guess Huayao's concerns.
What Hu Jiangshan said was also to tell Huayao that this company is very reliable.
In fact, Hu Jiangshan’s sincerity can be seen from his quotation.
Li Long would never say these words.
Smart people know when to stop. Some things are meaningless once they are spoken out.
At this time, Li Long asked again: "Can you tell us about your production capacity?"
Hu Jiangshan did not intend to hide it and replied: "The current maximum production capacity per month is 50,000 wafers."
Li Long was a little disappointed when he heard this.
A monthly output of 50,000 wafers is not high, especially for a customer of Huayao's size, it is totally insufficient.
But this is normal. After all, a super wafer manufacturer like TSMC is the result of many years of accumulation, and it cannot be achieved in a few years.
At this time, Hu Jiangshan said: "The production capacity is indeed a bit tight now, but we are also trying to find a solution. If all goes well, there will be a significant improvement in the near future."
Li Long nodded, but didn't say anything.
Hu Jiangshan's words seemed to be just for show. Even if the semiconductor production line here is really working hard to improve, there won't be much effect in a year or two.
Even if a huge investment is made to rebuild a semiconductor production line, it will still take at least more than a year to debug it and enable normal production.
Presumably, the only thing we can do in the short term is to improve the yield rate of 7-nanometer production.
It is actually not easy to improve the yield rate. You should know that TSMC’s current yield rate of 7-nanometer chips is less than 90%.
But it is not easy for Hu Jiangshan to make such a statement, and we must appreciate it.
Li Long had no idea that in less than a month, Hu Jiangshan's production capacity would increase dramatically.
After talking about business, Hu Jiangshan wanted to treat Li Long and Zhang Dahui to dinner, but they had to go to Hong Kong Island. There was not much to eat here, and they could only eat frozen dumplings.
Li Long decisively refused.
"Mr. Hu, there's no need to eat. We have to go back and make a report. There's no rush to eat. Once we solve the problem at hand, we can find some time to have a good meal."
Hu Jiangshan understood Huayao's style and no longer insisted. He drove the Seahorse to send the two to Hong Kong Island.
In the evening, Hu Jiangshan ate something outside and then returned to Lishan Apartment.
I've been running around outside all day today and I'm a little tired.
Hu Jiangshan took a shower and then sat on a chair on the balcony, enjoying the mountain breeze while looking at his mobile phone.
Hu Jiangshan opened Weibo as usual and suddenly found that the topic of Huayao had become more and more popular recently.
It seems that netizens are very concerned about Huayao's recent situation.
[Huayao presses the pause button, mate20 is no longer available for sale today, and the chip may have hit bottom]
[Kirin high-end chips may have been exhausted. Does Huayao still have a way to replenish chip inventory? This is a huge question mark]
[Informed sources: Huayao is already discussing giving up its mobile phone business]
Hu Jiangshan smiled when he saw this.
The various rumors on the Internet have become very serious at this time.
