"Beiyi is an old factory, established as early as 1954. Xu Jianye has been working in Beiyi, and his father is also the technical backbone of the factory."
"However, although it has been established for a long time and has a wide range of interests, it is precisely because of this that Bingxin is not satisfied with Beiyi's ion implanter and believes that it needs to invest in more research and development."
Liu Yangyang followed Mr. Fang into the office, and without waiting for him to ask, he started talking about Bei Yi, who was standing in front of Mr. Fang.
"So, it's a B-grade?" Fang Zhuo asked.
Liu Yangyang said firmly: "Yes, taking into account various factors, Beiyi's ion implanter is at this level."
Fang Zhuo poured two glasses of water funny. It seemed that Mr. Liu was afraid that he would intercede for Bei Yi, so he immediately expressed his position: "I firmly support the work of the service alliance led by Mr. Liu, and will definitely implement the instructions given by the alliance seriously!"
Liu Yangyang smiled and said, "Mr. Fang is running against me."
"No, I mean it sincerely. Just like what I just said in public, I don't do what laymen and leaders do. The first rule of the service alliance is not to harm the progress of Ice Core, and the second is to support domestic semiconductor manufacturers. Absolutely not
It will put the cart before the horse." Fang Zhuo was very serious.
He added: "I came here today to see how far the alliance has progressed, and to see how we can better support Mr. Liu's work and support the work of the service alliance."
"The progress, the excitement is quite lively, but this progress..." Liu Yangyang did not continue to follow Mr. Fang's mocking official tone and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
She took the water from her boss and said with a wry smile: "Last year when I took over this task, I was complacent, but by the end of the year I was disheartened. This year I gritted my teeth and persisted."
Difficult, difficult, too difficult.
"The domestic production rate of Bingxin's Luzhou production line equipment is less than 2%. The current assessment of the domestic production rate of the new factories in Lin'an and Shencheng is 4%."
"With this development, the localization rate of equipment can increase to 10% in the next ten years, which is gratifying enough."
Liu Yangyang pursed his lips and looked serious: "Moreover, the closer to the core, the more alarmingly low this ratio is. Photolithography and thin film deposition... I don't think I will see them break through 5% in my lifetime."
Fang Zhuo stretched out his fingers and did the math: "Mr. Liu gave us a task, 10% in 10 years. We count 2,000 pieces of equipment for one production line, and 10% also includes 200 domestically produced equipment. As for this core equipment..."
He shook his head slightly without joking: "What should I do? Wherever I go."
It's still what he said publicly just now, so let's do it.
It is impossible for competitors like Taiwan Journal, Intel, and Samsung to use the most advanced equipment to move forward. Instead, Bingxin stopped to fish for more backward equipment. It is not necessarily possible to catch up with others. How can it be done with chains on its feet?
?
Or we can only say that we should make full use of the development opportunities brought by globalization to strengthen ourselves, and then attract brother manufacturers to the extent possible.
The research and development of core equipment does not just depend on whether the ice core will give it a chance, or even how the manufacturer develops it, but on the intensity of the above, how to write the core equipment into the plan, and provide greater multi-faceted support.
Top-level design + enterprise drive + own research and development are the keys to development.
Fang Zhuoyou is thinking about finding a suitable time to help domestic manufacturers.
When is the right time?
Ice core's 65nm process has made substantial breakthroughs, and this may be a good opportunity to give advice.
Or maybe later, bring Hu Zhengming and Liang Mengsong, two masters and apprentices with status in the global semiconductor industry, to talk about related matters.
But there is no need to say this right now.
"Mr. Liu, you are gritting your teeth and persisting, but who doesn't grit your teeth and persist?" Fang Zhuo did not criticize, but just talked about the current normal situation, "I believe that with the development of ice core, everything will slowly
Getting better.”
"There is still a chance if you grit your teeth and persist. If you don't grit your teeth and persist, you really won't be able to see even 1% growth."
Fang Zhuo's tone was very calm. The situation is like this. The goal is lofty and the road ahead is long. Bystanders know the difficulties and those who do the work know the hardships. They can only look for positive conditions to try their best to move forward.
The significance of this trip back to Luzhou is also to support Liu Yangyang and the Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance.
In fact, today's ice cores have equipment procurement licenses and can be purchased relatively conveniently from outside. There are also some different voices internally. If someone with connections occasionally comes to your door and you can't shirk it, you can try domestic machines, but
Is it an institutionalized service alliance?
Bingxin has been vigorously recruiting talents since its establishment, and to this day, there are vague factions.
Some are technical backbones from friendly companies such as SMIC, some are R&D talents from overseas and Taiwanese companies, as well as fresh blood brought in through cooperation with major mainland universities.
Everyone's growth environment and competitive experience are different, so naturally they cannot have completely identical ideas.
Fang Zhuo never shows his presence inside the ice core, but he also clearly knows that his attitude as chairman and major shareholder is influential.
Liu Yangyang was from the administrative department, and she also knew the significance of Mr. Fang's trip.
It's just that I'm not complaining, it's just that it's really difficult.
Fang Zhuo listened to part of the report in the office. Some of the problems could be solved hopefully if he could take the lead in finding resources, but some could only be solved by continuing to work hard.
When the tedious and occasionally interrupted report was over, Fang Zhuo, Liu Yangyang and Bingxin's executives left the office. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a middle-aged and elderly man in a white shirt wandering around.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Liu, and Gong Li." The middle-aged and elderly people in white shirts introduced themselves with smiling faces, "I am Zheng Chuan from Shengmei Company."
Fang Zhuo signaled that there was no need to stop him and nodded: "Mr. Zheng, I've heard of you."
Just as the smile on Zheng Chuan's face was about to spread, it froze due to the next sentence.
"The one who tore up the materials last year." Fang Zhuo said the little gossip he just heard today.
Zheng Chuan immediately apologized: "Mr. Fang, that's because I didn't realize the importance of our alliance, and I wasn't profound..."
Fang Zhuo interrupted with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, since you can come today, let's follow the procedures. I believe that since you can become SMIC's supplier, you are still capable. Don't just set your goals."
When it comes to b-sharp, you can think of a-sharp or even s-sharp.”
Zheng Chuan did not expect Mr. Fang to be so generous and repeatedly stated that he would definitely increase the research and development budget for more advanced technology of electroplating copper equipment.
He watched Mr. Fang and his party walking forward and began to pick people to communicate with. He suddenly realized something in his heart. The rumors were indeed true! There was indeed an S-class hidden inside the ice core!
"Mr. Fang..." Liu Yangyang was a little helpless.
"Just a little joke, but they spread it themselves, which is quite interesting." Fang Zhuo laughed as he walked.
Liu Yangyang believes that he will soon be tested and questioned about the so-called "S-class".
The evaluation meeting of the Ice Core Wafer Manufacturing Service Alliance is not just one day, it needs to last for a week, because the evaluation of many equipment and technologies is very energy-consuming, and Ice Core also strives to rigorously judge the technological prospects.
Just like the horizontal self-propelled method of electroplating copper equipment and the self-formal rack plating of restored copper anodes studied in Japan, is the latter necessarily the most suitable upgrade direction?
Ice core experts also cannot give a definite answer, they can only communicate with each other and make suggestions.
A process like this is considered valuable by many manufacturers.
That evening, after Fang Zhuo finished his on-site inspection, he brought two bottles of wine and went to meet Professor Hu Zhengming and had a meal with Qiu Ciyun at his home.
The three of them chatted while eating and drinking, and the main content was the research and development progress of ice cores on 65nm.
According to Professor Hu's estimate, there will be a breakthrough in the ice core by the first quarter of next year at the latest.
He said with some regret that if Liang Mengsong came to the University of Science and Technology of China from California for academic exchanges like him, then the research and development of advanced ice core processes would definitely be accelerated.
Fang Zhuo persisted on this point and allowed Liang Mengsong and Hu Zhengming to have the same experience before adding the ice core. I am afraid that Taiwan reporters would be suspicious. Now, let Liang Mengsong use the IC design company in the United States to play around.
When Liang Mengsong's non-competition agreement expires, whether Liang Mengsong comes directly or lets Bingxin acquire the design company, it will be much safer legally.
Fang Zhuo did not intend to let Taiwan reporters sue Samsung to force Liang Mengsong to leave again, and he also hesitated repeatedly about his schedule to return to Beijing or Shanghai next year.
But no matter what, ice cores have reaped great benefits.
The technical level in the first three months of 2007 next year will determine the bargaining chip weight of Yike's negotiations with Qualcomm. If it is delayed any further, it will be difficult for Qualcomm to be happy.
On December 3, Fang Zhuo did not attend the evaluation meeting, but he still formally listened to reports from ice core executives and experts focusing on the work of the service alliance. From this perspective, what he heard was still not optimistic.
Even more pessimistic than Liu Yangyang.
Taking everyone's concerns into consideration, Fang Zhuo did not talk about the Luzhou No. 1 factory, but the Lin'an No. 2 factory, which had the lowest technical requirements, and received a lot of suggestions and feedback.
On the third day after returning to Lu, Fang Zhuo failed to withstand the enthusiastic leadership of Luzhou and held a recorded meeting. He talked about the development of ice cores and the ecological planning of the semiconductor industry in Luzhou and Anhui Province, and gave a lot of advice.
High praise and deep gratitude.
From its landing in Luzhou to now, Yuhu Road is no longer just the lonely ice core No. 001 on Yuhu Road, but also includes design, packaging and pan-ecological supporting enterprises. The framework of the industrial chain has been created.
Because of the skewed resources, Yuhu Road is known as the "Luzhou of Luzhou" and the "Little Zhangjiang River".
Fang Zhuo's fourth day in Luzhou was spent communicating with neighboring brother companies and listening to the life requirements of employees.
He is thinking about pushing the University of Science and Technology, which has a lot of cooperation, to open an affiliated high school nearby to further solve the logistical worries of ice core employees.
On December 6, the Qingzi plane had already departed from Beijing for Shanghai, while Fang Zhuo ended his five-day trip to Luzhou and headed for Lin'an.
The second factory built in Lin'an is used for OEM niche storage. This is a low-end product that is mainly customized. It is an attempt in the storage field by Qimonda taking advantage of the opportunity of becoming independent from Infineon.
Even so, the project is very popular in Lin'an.
The second factory has started debugging some of the equipment purchased from abroad. It plans to conduct equipment bidding from domestic manufacturers in January, and then continue to purchase equipment that meets the requirements from abroad.
Fang Zhuo only stayed in Lin'an for two days as planned, and took the bus back to Shanghai on the afternoon of the 8th.
We were greeted with a series of formalities for private jets, and the review was completed quickly.
However, Fang Zhuo did not rush to fly to New York and patiently inspected the preliminary work of Shanghai Factory No. 3.
On December 12, after going through the inspections of Luyi, Liner, and Shensan as well as the work arrangements for Yike, Fang Zhuo finally got into the private plane given to him by his friend.
As for this private jet, apart from the significant reduction in flight time, he didn't feel it was any more comfortable than first class.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this business brings a group of gentlemen.
Fang Zhuo has always attached great importance to Apple, and this attention is not only reflected in music players, but also in mobile phone projects.
Under his influence, outside companies such as IDG and Shenxin Science and Technology attach great importance to Apple's progress, and executives within the company also maintain a high level of attention.
Along the way, everyone was playing cards and discussing what kind of products Apple would launch at its launch event on the 9th next month.
In the past month or two, Apple has been warming up its mobile phone, but has not announced its appearance. It has only conceptualized it as "innovative" and "epoch-making".
Except for Fang Zhuo, everyone else was extremely enthusiastic about guessing what the competing products would look like.
"Mr. Fang, I still don't have enough tolerance. I keep thinking about Apple's mobile phones. I have to learn more from Mr. Fang about his calm nature." Technical Director Xu Keden said in frustration after accidentally giving away the cards in Mr. Fang's hand.
.
"What's the point of being so calm? I'm just unhappy because Steve Jobs didn't invite me." Fang Zhuo pushed the poker forward, "You guys are playing, I'm trying to figure out how to not look so calm."
He didn't feel any happiness from playing cards and could only think about the interaction with Apple.
Perhaps because he had not yet adapted to the shortened flight time, Fang Zhuo had the illusion that he would arrive in New York very soon after taking a nap.
At the airport, Mr. Yu Hongyu personally picked him up, and most of his purpose was to pay homage to the Qingzi number he learned over the phone.
"Mr. Li is really unlucky to compete with you." Yu Hong could imagine some of Li Guoqing's physical pain, so she sent him a plane.
"Anyway, Qingzi was very happy when he saw me signing the contract. He begged me to sell it." Fang Zhuo sat in the car and began to tear open the document bag.
Yu Hong asked: "You personally kicked his office open and made him happily beg you to sell your shares?"
Fang Zhuo said calmly: "Weiwei is too exaggerated."
As he spoke, he handed the document in his hand to Mr. Yu: "These are the latest batch of patent applications. Well, they are mainly about the structure of in-line capacitive touch display and external electro-pneumatic touch panel, which can enrich our patents.
library."
Yu Hong took it and turned it over. This is the result of the domestic team.
Fang Zhuo asked: "Is there any new news about Apple mobile phones? I received it as of the day before yesterday."
Yu Hong shook her head: "No, it's said that confidentiality has become stricter. I found two familiar media to see if there are any clues at the press conference. It is said that there is no trial machine application open. I suspect that Apple's mobile phones may not be as good as we imagined.
Such a high degree of completion.”
Fang Zhuo nodded, and his mood did not fluctuate because of such speculation. He would know the situation soon.
He said: "Tomorrow I will fly to Silicon Valley. You and I will talk to Google about the patent pool and open our patents to manufacturers running Android systems on the condition that they are bundled with Google services."
"Also, contact Sony and Sir Alex. As soon as the Apple mobile phone is released next month, we will consider whether there is any patent infringement on Sony Ericsson mobile phones."
"Including our latest patent applications, see if there are any overlaps or unavoidable ones."
"This is a competitive focus for a short period of time in the future."
Fang Zhuo pondered more arrangements, turned around and saw Yu Hong looking at him, and smiled at her: "What are you looking at? Are there any flowers on my face?"
"Mr. Yu, wake up, don't wait for the press conference, the competition has already begun."
