"Meilican is pinching the edge, but in fact, from the perspective of the development of our overall industry, our top priority is to fully understand the 28nm-14nm process and achieve independent control of this part of the process.
"
"The good news is that this goal is achievable."
"28nm is already an advanced process. In the next few years, there will be a large market both domestically and globally. The Internet of Things, automotive electronics, and network communications are all the directions for the decentralization of advanced processes."
"Bingxin's research and development of the second-generation FinFET this year has been relatively smooth. It is expected to improve the performance of the chip by 20% and reduce the power consumption by 60%. This is a significant improvement."
"There are no problems with the research and development of advanced processes for ice cores. Although EU is not used, our verification scheme on DU is basically feasible, which can buy a lot of time for domestic industry substitution."
"The development of the industry is currently uneven. The basic areas should be consolidated. In the future, the competition around Bingxin and Yike will expand. The better the foundation, the more confident the competition will be."
"In the current and future situation, I think this is a game between out-of-control, just like a car drifting when the rear wheels are out of control when going through a corner, but the whole car is still moving in the set direction."
In the conference room in Beijing, Fang Zhuo finally repeated his point of view: "The strategic focus of competition has shifted from ice cores to the industry, and from breakthroughs in advanced technology to the guarantee of mature technology."
As the chairman of Bingxin, Fang Zhuo expressed some opinions on the recent turmoil, which undoubtedly surprised all the participants.
From a general point of view, this is of course an expansion of the scope of competition, but such a statement also seems to be an initiative to give up some support resources.
The meeting went very late. In addition to talking about his views on future competition, Fang Zhuo also talked about the differences between Bingxin and SMIC in this competition. The latter still has permission to introduce technology and purchase equipment, which is worth taking advantage of.
As he said, BIS-based restrictions currently only target cutting-edge ice cores. Their measures this time were more shocked by the achievements of ice cores, so they focused most of their attention on this.
Of course, there are many appeals from America's side, but due to various factors, this is the competitive strategy in front of us.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Fang Zhuo walked out of the conference room, hesitating whether to stay in the capital for one night or fly back to Luzhou overnight, but he was stopped after only taking a few steps.
"Mr. Fang, is your four-fold plan really feasible?"
"Zhao Si, the cost will definitely increase, but it is definitely feasible. It can actually basically guarantee our commercial use of 10nm and 7nm at higher costs." Fang Zhuo had reported this before coming to the capital, and now he knew that the other party
I just want to hear my own confirmation, "Although the cost is high, compared with the whole machine, this is definitely a must."
There's nothing much to say about this.
Zhao Si nodded and said with a smile: "So, we still have a lot of time?"
"Optimistically speaking, it is indeed quite a lot. What we are pursuing at the current stage is independence and controllability, rather than complete localization." Fang Zhuo pondered for a while and said, "There are still twists and turns in the matter of controllability, but the staged goal is
It’s no problem.”
"When others say this, I have to weigh it in my heart, but after listening to Mr. Fang's words, I let out a sigh of relief." Zhao Si said.
Fang Zhuo smiled: "This is not me, but Mr. Qiu, but the opinions of Academicians Hu and Academicians Liang. In the past, Bingxin moved forward bravely, now it is to ensure production capacity, and in the future it will continue to hit the peak."
Zhao Si nodded repeatedly.
Fang Zhuo talked a few more words about his recent inspections, and then prepared to say goodbye and leave. It was already very late.
However, Zhao Si still had something to say. He coughed and invited: "Mr. Fang, there is a meeting in the city tomorrow, and I specially invite you."
Fang Zhuo was a little surprised: "Meeting?"
"Yes, I heard that Yike has established a vehicle research and development project. The city is very interested in this and hopes to have a chat with Mr. Fang in person." Zhao Si is not responsible for this work, but is entrusted by others.
Fang Zhuo's mind has been immersed in semiconductors recently. He was stunned when he heard this before he reacted. He said in a dumbfounded voice: "Zhao Si, this... is just a research and development project. I haven't written a word about it yet. Yike may encounter other situations in the near future."
.”
"No delay, no delay, Yike can do research and development as long as he likes, and do it whenever he thinks it's appropriate. The city just wants to ask Yike to see if there's anything he can do to help." Zhao Si smiled.
Said, "In the past few years, the country has attached great importance to this."
Domestic subsidies for new energy started in 2009, and there have been almost two stages so far. In the first three years, it was a subsidy for battery power. In the past three years, it was changed to a subsidy for battery life. In April this year, it was just released.
The next phase of the policy will increase the requirements for the maximum speed of pure electric vehicles.
The real acceleration of development began in 2013, because this year's financial subsidies were rolled out from pilot cities to the whole country without distinction.
The annual growth rate of new energy sales was 5% in 2013, 290% in 2014, and is expected to exceed 200% this year.
Of course, judging from the growth rate, it is extremely rapid, but just looking at the sales figures is very disappointing. In 2013, the sales volume of new energy vehicles was 70,000 vehicles, in 2014 it was 40,000 vehicles, and this year it is expected to be 170,000 vehicles
about.
Compared with the current domestic sales of 20 million passenger cars a year, this is as bright as a firefly.
"Yike's project is an exploration. We still have to see how effective the internal research and development is. If it is not satisfactory, it may not be accepted," Fang Zhuo said again.
"That's it, Mr. Fang, the city won't say anything about strongly requesting Yike. It's just a preliminary contact. If Yike wants to do it, I hope it can give priority to this side." Zhao Si said seriously, "No matter whether it's a person or a person.
, or the factory, or car-making qualifications, funds, whatever Yike needs, we can coordinate everything here."
When it came to this, Fang Zhuo had no choice but to agree. Anyway, it was just a meeting, and what he told was the truth, not even a single word of it.
The next day, Fang Zhuo received another warm reception in the capital, but unlike yesterday's talk, he really couldn't say anything today. He was neither sure whether to join this wave, nor how effective the internal research and development would be.
After leaving the capital, he called Yu Hong on the way and complained about the impact of her revealing the news to the outside world.
"Sooner or later, we can't hide it. Our recruitment actions are very obvious." Yu Hong disagreed, "If the capital city contacts you, then they will contact you. Everyone knows what you are busy with. It is easier for you to be polite than for us to be polite."
"I'm just upset." Fang Zhuo said bluntly, "I don't have time to think about this."
"It will be fine after this gust of wind passes." Yu Hong said, "Washington wants to see you."
"Just leave it to Schroeder." Fang Zhuo said simply, "There's not much to say. As long as we can discuss it openly, I can know it earlier in private."
He has not made a public appearance or responded to foreign public opinion in the past few months, but private communication with friends has not been interrupted. It can only be said that as the money in their hands is sold out, everyone is increasingly inclined to sit on the sidelines.
Yike's current size cannot be simply handled. Regardless of the BIS or administrative level, it is generally believed that Yike has no choice this time and must cooperate with the remaining foundry companies.
Currently, BIS is already reviewing the second temporary license. Judging from the current communication, there is still no problem. This is also a normal buffer.
In the afternoon, Fang Zhuo arrived in Luzhou and hurriedly inspected the new factory used for photoresist research and development, verification and production in cooperation with Shanghai Xinyang.
When the construction was started before, even the procedures were not completed. Now, the factory area behind the ice core has been basically completed and all the procedures have been completed.
Accompanied by Luzhou leaders, Fang Zhuo inspected the new factory, which is related to the stability of the ice core supply chain. He also talked with the local government again about the current situation and his firm attitude.
When it was almost dinner time, the city invited the leader of Bingxin to a reception banquet.
"What can I do to catch the wind? It's not like I haven't been back for a long time." Fang Zhuo laughed dumbly, "I'm just a local snake, why should I catch the wind?"
The city leaders looked strange.
Fang Zhuo noticed the difference and asked, "Is there something new?"
"The province heard that Yike has a plan to build a car?" the leader lowered his voice and asked.
Fang Zhuo understood and said helplessly: "I haven't even written the eight characters yet..."
The leader suddenly said excitedly: "It's okay, Mr. Fang, we just want to talk first. Let's talk first. No matter what Yike needs, no matter when Yike does it, it is all Yike's initiative!"
Fang Zhuo hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
The dinner atmosphere was lively, but different people had similar scenes.
That night, Fang Zhuo just had a drink and made two phone calls after returning home. Just as he was about to rest, he received a call from Shanghai City.
He had just pressed the button when suddenly an idea flashed and he asked: "Secretary Liao, don't you want to ask Yike about building a car?"
The other end of the phone was very surprised: "Mr. Fang, have you already taken the call from the leader?"
"I haven't even written a word yet..." Fang Zhuo's attitude became the same for the third time.
"Mr. Fang, we just want to talk to the city first..." The other side also started to say the same thing.
Fang Zhuo rubbed his face, okay, this is indeed the influence that Yike should have.
This time he did not agree to return to Shanghai, but instead appointed Executive Vice President Yu to come forward on his behalf.
"Mr. Fang, no matter what conditions others offer, Shencheng can join us!" Secretary Liao suddenly said this before hanging up the phone.
"Okay... when it comes to really doing something, Shencheng will always be the first." Fang Zhuo had to express the same position. They were always first, and they were all tied for first.
