Chapter 1768 Wang Lin sells melons and brags about himself
Wang Lin accompanied Grove and his team to inspect Aixiu Technology.
Before entering the company, Wang Lin introduced Grove to the surrounding environment and the Harbin Institute of Technology branch, which is under intense construction.
Grove said he had heard of Harbin Institute of Technology.
Wang Lin said that Harbin Institute of Technology in my country is equivalent to MIT in the United States.
Grove said, "It's a good thing for such a good school to open a branch next to your company."
Wang Lin said that this industrial park is expected to become the best semiconductor industry base in my country in the near future, just like Silicon Valley where Intel is located.
Grove nodded thoughtfully.
Wang Lin had originally prepared a grand welcome ceremony, but now it was all cancelled. When he arrived at the company, he directly invited Grove to visit the office building and workshop.
Aixiu Technology's construction standards are extremely high, even higher than those of world-class first-class semiconductor factories.
When we first acquired the land, it was still a wilderness.
Shenzhen City gave Wang Lin the greatest preferential policy, and he was free to choose the land.
Wang Lin took over a piece of land with mountains and water.
He did not bulldoze the small hills or fill up the small lakes. Instead, he followed the situation and used the mountains and rivers to create a park-like modern factory.
The green area of the factory area is comparable to that of a park.
Grove was shocked!
This was the first time he saw such a factory.
If Wang Lin hadn't led him in, he would have regarded this place as a beautiful park.
The first thing that catches the eye is a lotus pond.
It is the season when lotus flowers are in full bloom. There is a lush green lotus leaf in the lake. They are green and green, crowded together, like disks and large umbrellas, dotted with countless large and small ones.
The lotus flowers vary in height and sway gently in the wind.
The breeze blows, bringing with it wisps of fragrance; the golden light spreads, and the water droplets on the thick lotus leaves are shining and shaking, flying down to the lake with the wind. The blooming lotus, against the background of the green leaves and clear water, is delicate and charming.
Wow, it's so beautiful.
There is a rockery in the middle of the pool, and there is a stone carving on the mountain with the four characters "Aixiu Technology." engraved on it.
Office buildings, workshops, canteens, warehouses and other buildings are scattered around the lotus pond. Looking in the distance is a hill. There are also buildings on the mountain, which are the company's dormitories, libraries, research institutes, outdoor sports venues and other facilities.
Wang Lin first invited Grove to visit the office building.
Aixiu Technology's office building has a total of six floors and is fully functional and equipped.
The first floor serves as the company's facade and exhibition hall. The overall design style is more technological, with a front desk, product display area, product testing area, water bar, live broadcast room, and negotiation area.
The second, third, and fourth floors are used as office areas, including the production department, marketing department, operations department, business department, finance department, and conference rooms, which can accommodate hundreds of people for meetings at the same time.
The fifth and sixth floors will be built into employee welfare places integrating entertainment, fitness, leisure and reception, allowing every employee to combine work and rest, and feel the relaxation and entertainment of life after work.
The office area adopts a cubicle model and all computerized offices are implemented.
Grove has been to many companies and visited the most advanced and modern office buildings in the world.
The feeling that Aixiu Technology gave him was no worse than any other company!
At least that's the first impression.
Whether a company is good or not, a discerning person can get a rough idea of it just by looking at it.
The mental outlook of employees and the cleanliness of the company can generally tell the management level of the company.
After visiting the office building, Wang Lin invited Grove and others to inspect the workshop.
The environment of the workshop is really amazing, as if you are in a world full of vitality and vitality.
Here, you can see neat corridors, bright skylights, and clean green resin floors. Everything exudes a fresh atmosphere.
There is no doubt that this is the top factory in the world!
The semiconductor production workshop is also one of the most advanced places in mankind.
The production line is running at full capacity, and staff wearing dustproof suits are operating the machines at their respective posts. Everyone is very serious and turns a blind eye to those who come in.
Wang Lin introduced the machinery and equipment to Grove.
These machines are the most advanced production machines currently available.
Wang Lin seized this good opportunity in the mid-1990s. After this year, it is unknown whether he will still be able to buy these advanced machines and equipment.
The West will fall out when it says it will, and it may one day restrict the export of these equipment and technologies again.
Therefore, Wang Lin did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to purchase enough equipment.
At the same time, he also signed long-term cooperation agreements with companies that provide related equipment.
As for whether the other party will turn their backs and refuse to recognize each other, I don't know.
But signing the contract is always good for Wang Lin.
Even if the other party breaches the contract, Wang Lin can still get compensation.
Grove was surprised to see such a large workshop and asked Wang Lindao: "Have you received many orders?"
Wang Lindao: "So far, we have only received some OEM orders from several companies in South Korea."
Grove said: "Then why have you built so many workshops? Your current production capacity is not low! It is comparable to the production capacity of our foundry."
Wang Lindao: "I'm ready to take your company's big order."
Grove said: "You are preparing all this just to take our order? But aren't you afraid that we won't give you the order? If you can't get the order, then all your investment will be lost."
Wang Lindao: "Mr. Grove, I can't think of any reason, why do you reject me? We have the lowest-paid workers in the world, the most high-end manufacturing plants, and the strongest capital backing. You don't have to worry about production capacity and funds at all.
Chain and other issues. You can get the same quality and the same goods at a lower price. In this way, your products will also have a more price competitive advantage."
He talked eloquently and talked about all his advantages.
Grove said: "Price is certainly one of the factors we should consider most, but it is not the only factor."
Wang Lin smiled slightly: "What if our price can be 20% cheaper than your current foundry? Isn't it enough to impress you?"
Grove said in surprise: "20% cheaper? This is impossible!"
Wang Lindao: "Whether I can do it or not, that's my business. Anyway, I'll just supply it to you at this price."
Grove touched his chin with his hand, paused, and fell into deep thought.
His sharp eyes looked at Wang Lin and then scanned the modern factory.
"It's hard for me to believe that you can lower the price so much!" Grove said, "Your factory environment and facilities are no worse than others, or even better! I know you have invested hugely! If it is too cheap,
Do you make any money?"
Wang Lindao: "Of course there is profit."
Grove said: "I can't just listen to you, because I can't believe it all. I know that the cost of producing wafers is extremely high. The initial investment and later maintenance require a lot of money and labor.
The materials are not cheap either.”
Wang Lindao: "Of course I have a way to achieve this price."
Grove shook his head slightly: "Mr. Wang Lin, I know you are a very powerful businessman. Do you want to defeat other competitors through a price war, and then raise the price?"
Wang Lin laughed and said: "I don't rule out that some people will use this method. But I won't. You must be wondering why I can lower the price so much? Please listen to my analysis."
Grove crossed his arms over his chest and nodded.
Wang Lindao: "Let me talk about labor first. This is also one of our biggest advantages. The wages of our workers are much lower than those of other competitors, almost only one-fifth of theirs. In this aspect, we can save
A lot of costs. In addition, I built a factory here and received strong support from the local government. In terms of taxes, land, etc., I only had to pay a very small price. There are also raw materials. I purchased more than a dozen Japanese semiconductor raw materials companies.
For enterprises, I can supply half of the most important raw materials for wafer production myself, so the price has dropped again."
Grove nodded from time to time, and when he heard the end, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Wang Lin, you are so awesome! You acquired those factories in Dongyang? This is something your competitors did not expect!"
Wang Lindao: "Their factory is big, so they don't have to worry about finding suppliers. But my factory is small, so in order to reduce costs as much as possible, I acquired those companies."
Grove said: "How much did you pay for this factory?"
Wang Linda said: "One billion US dollars!"
Grove was shocked!
$1 billion in funding!
Even for Intel, it’s a huge sum of money!
Wang Lin voted as soon as he said he would!
And you haven’t received enough orders yet, so you dare to make the company so big!
