Chapter 97 Chip Production Capacity Increases
Chapter 97 Chip Production Capacity Increases
The southern factory did deliver a batch of chips, and the quantity was not small, exceeding one million.
And they are all Huayao’s flagship chips, namely Kirin 990.
The slowed production pace of southern factories was suddenly activated and the operating rate immediately increased significantly.
A few days later, Hong Kong Island, General Island.
Hu Jiangshan is at the production line control center, carefully looking at the production data on the big screen.
Just a few days ago, the semiconductor production line was finally upgraded.
Sure enough, production capacity increased significantly, and the increase was much higher than expected.
The wafers produced in two days are almost equivalent to the output of the previous week.
Just yesterday, Wang Chengdong called to urge for delivery, so Hu Jiangshan delivered all the packaged chips on hand.
When Wang Chengdong heard the number of chips that could be delivered, he immediately lost his composure.
Wang Chengdong's strange laughter left a deep impression on Hu Jiangshan, who had lived two lives.
Hu Jiangshan looked at the generated production data carefully for a while and found some minor problems, so he mentioned them to Zhang Rui.
Zhang Rui nodded and quickly went to find someone to make adjustments.
Zhang Rui is truly a workaholic; his energy is unmatched by most people.
Before, Hu Jiangshan was worried that Zhang Rui couldn’t stand the loneliness.
After all, this is working on an isolated island, and it is quite boring to stay here for a long time.
Hu Jiangshan even went out of his way to talk to Zhang Rui. Unexpectedly, Zhang Rui was very satisfied with his current work and life.
It turns out that Zhang Rui likes this kind of environment very much. It is simpler and there are not so many troubles.
Hu Jiangshan was relieved.
Zhang Rui is now the backbone of the company and cannot leave.
If Zhang Ruizhen left, where would Hu Jiangshan find a technical expert like him?
Hu Jiangshan walked out of the factory.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly, with no clouds in the sky, but also very hot.
After walking for a while, Hu Jiangshan saw the construction site.
Many workers are repairing the road and working hard.
Liu Abao was staring at the workers from a high slope not far away, and from time to time he would point at a worker and yell at him.
Liu Abao brought the entire team, a total of more than twenty people.
Although there are only a small number of people, their efficiency is very high. Now the road network on General Island has taken shape and has been almost completely leveled.
The gravel is being laid now, and the next step will be to lay cement for solidification.
Hu Jiangshan greeted Liu Abao and stood by to watch for a while. He didn't know about the construction quality, but judging from their attitude, they seemed reliable.
Hu Jiangshan felt the sun was too strong and his face was burning, so he quickly went to the General.
Although the General is small, it is still a luxury yacht after all. It is quite comfortable to enjoy the air conditioning and drink iced juice in the panoramic lounge.
Especially the sea view, the stronger the sunlight, the more beautiful it is.
Hu Jiangshan picked up his tablet and browsed social media.
I've been too busy the past two days and haven't had time to watch it. Today I can finally relax.
Just as Hu Jiangshan guessed, Huayao has become popular again recently.
On the first screen of a certain blog, there are several Weibo posts about Huayao.
[Insider: Huayao's high-end mobile phone production capacity is recovering]
[I ordered mate20 pro and finally received the goods]
[Puzzle: Why is Kirin 990 being used more and more? Has Huayao really found a new chip foundry? ]
[Has the supply of Kirin chips resumed? Don't be too naive, it's just that Huayao's chip inventory is higher than expected] Hu Jiangshan flipped through several screens and found that many bloggers were surprised that Huayao was still shipping a large number of mate 20s.
After all, the new semiconductor bill of the Eagle United States Department of Commerce has been officially launched for nearly two months.
Normally, Huayao’s mobile phone manufacturing should encounter big problems. At least at the beginning, the mate 20 mobile phone will no longer be sold freely, but will be sold in limited quantities.
However, Huayao has recently launched a large-scale unlimited supply, and you can pre-order Huayao's high-end mobile phones either online or offline.
This led to a surge in orders for Huayao mobile phones, with several million units sold in a short period of time.
The technology and digital circles all believe that Huayao’s mobile phone orders cannot be delivered in a short period of time, or even cannot be delivered at all, because Huayao’s chip inventory is limited.
Huayao's liberalization of purchases is just a strategy to boost performance, or it could be said to be a bluff.
But the reality slapped these people in the face. Huayao sold millions of mobile phones in just over a month.
For example, on a certain blog, many users are posting their orders for newly purchased Huayao mobile phones, most of which are high-end models of the mate 20 series.
This shocked people in the industry.
Hu Jiangshan took a look at these related Weibo posts and found many speculations about Huayao chips.
There are basically two possibilities.
First, Huayao is not afraid of running out of chips at all, and even plans to abandon its mobile phone business once its inventory is used up.
The second possibility is that Huayao does have a new source of chips, that is, it has found a new chip foundry.
At this time, Hu Jiangshan finally saw a Weibo post with a different opinion.
[Informed source: Huayao is secretly buying back mobile phones, removing the chips from them and refurbishing them]
Hu Jiangshan read the content and found it quite shocking.
But we have to admit that this is feasible in theory.
Selling mobile phones while buying them back at second-hand prices means that you will have endless chips.
The guy who came up with this idea is also a talented person.
At this time, Hu Jiangshan saw a Weibo post that became a hot topic.
[SMIC may no longer be able to buy high-end photoresists and cannot manufacture chips for Huayao]
Just looking at the title of this Weibo post, it contains a lot of information.
Hu Jiangshan clicked on it and read the content, and found that it was written by someone in the mobile phone industry who seemed to know a lot of inside information.
The author previously speculated that the only company that could manufacture chips for Huayao was Huaxin International.
But the author now feels that this is impossible because the purchase of Huaxin International's semiconductor materials, especially advanced photoresists, has been restricted.
This author seems to be refuting rumors and telling people not to have any illusions. It is impossible for Huayao to find a new chip foundry.
The author concludes that Huayao mobile phones are now at the end of their strength and will soon run out of chips.
There is nothing much to say about the comments below. Some support the author's point of view and say that Huayao mobile phones will disappear.
Others said that the author was too pessimistic and underestimated Hua Yao's abilities.
Many netizens also posted photos of their newly received Huayao mobile phones to mock the author.
Suddenly, a comment caught Hu Jiangshan's attention.
"My uncle works at the Huayao mobile phone factory. He said Huayao has received several batches of Kirin chips from Hong Kong Island."
After seeing this comment, Hu Jiangshan felt something was not right.
What is even more disturbing is that the comment was liked hundreds of times, and many netizens asked for details under the comments.
Hu Jiangshan remembered Xu Zhijun's reminder that someone had already conducted an investigation in Hong Kong Island.
I just don’t know how much they found?
