Chapter 461: The birth of a pharmaceutical giant, Qing Ning Group shows its edge!
The completion ceremony ends.
Accompanied by Zhang Shuo, the Governor of Wannan Province also visited the Weijing Semiconductor office area and the 40-nanometer wafer foundry that has entered the trial operation stage with great interest to show his support for Daosui Group.
At this point, the official activities have come to an end.
After completing the planned actions, Zhang Shuo was free and was respectfully invited to the office by Liang Song to discuss the next development plans of Weijing Semiconductor with Lin Zhengdong, president of Daosui Group.
“Well done!”
As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Zhang Shuo gave Liang Song a thumbs up.
This is nothing short of the highest praise.
"This is also thanks to the full support of the group headquarters and the chairman."
The breakthrough in 28nm advanced process technology that was expected or even exceeded expectations can indeed be regarded as a milestone for Liang Song when he joined Daosui Group.
Finally, it lived up to expectations and completed the first phase of research and development tasks.
Of course, if you say thank you, you also mean it sincerely.
Liang Song still clearly remembers that Zhang Shuo personally went to Korea to interview him and solemnly promised to give him 100% trust and 100% autonomy.
Even after joining the Daosui Group, Liang Song did not dare to have high expectations.
In his expectation, he would be satisfied with 70% to 80% trust. Unexpectedly, not only Zhang Shuo himself, but also Lin Zhengdong, the president of Daosui Group, gave him absolute trust.
Lin Zhengdong has never intervened in Weijing Semiconductor's affairs.
Even regarding the daily operational matters of Daosui Group, there was no intention to exclude Liang Song, the executive vice president. What should be discussed was basically discussed.
It fully reflects Lin Zhengdong’s workplace wisdom.
It was this unreserved trust that led to Liang Song's team's early breakthrough.
It can be said to be a model of mutual achievement.
"Chairman, after breaking through the 28nm process technology, I am going to follow the example at Samsung and skip the 20nm process and focus on the 14nm advanced process technology."
At this moment, Liang Song was both confident and ambitious.
"Of course I'd love to see it work!"
Zhang Shuo is not happy that Liang Song can have this kind of motivation. This is also a step that Weijing Semiconductor must take to overtake Tai Electromechanical and Samsung Wafer in a corner.
Otherwise, it will be a slow step, a slow step!
"If you have any difficulties or needs, just raise them and the headquarters will do its best to meet them."
Zhang Shuo is also very generous.
"It's still the same as before. If we want to break through the 14-nanometer advanced process technology, we must not only make efforts on the research and development end, but also make simultaneous preparations on the production end. We need to build a new 14-nanometer wafer foundry."
until now.
The world's most advanced wafer foundry that has been put into production is Tai Electromechanical's 20-nanometer wafer foundry.
This is very different from the previous preparations to build a 28-nanometer wafer foundry. There are many areas that need to be explored by ourselves. There are neither mature production lines nor mature industrial workers.
"In addition, the photolithography machines also need to be customized in advance, otherwise it will definitely be too late."
Liang Song remained as down-to-earth as ever, saying what he had to say.
"no problem."
Zhang Shuo readily agreed. He even turned to look at Lin Zhengdong and said with a smile: "Is the capital chain of Daosui Group almost exhausted? We can consider starting a capital increase at the same time."
"The group's funds are a bit tight, but we can barely maintain it. Especially after the launch of Jing Jiawei graphics card, the group's revenue level has increased significantly."
"Of course, it would be great if the headquarters can provide support."
If there is no capital increase, with Daosui Group's current goodwill, it can actually apply for a bank loan independently, and it will be relatively smooth.
China is very supportive of the development of the semiconductor industry.
Of course, the semiconductor industry is also a very money-burning industry. Even if it is supported by revenue and loans, it still needs to continue to obtain financial support from other channels.
For example, financing.
The Daosui Group, backed by the big tree of Germination, obviously has a unique advantage.
"Is a capital increase of 30 billion enough?"
Zhang Shuo is very generous and generous, especially considering that Weijing Semiconductor's preparations to build a 14-nanometer wafer foundry alone are likely to require an investment of 20 billion.
"Enough, enough..."
Lin Zhengdong was a little embarrassed because the big boss gave him too much.
Liang Song was also suffocated by the big boss's aura.
He had worked at both Tai Mechanical and Electrical and Samsung before, and he could be considered a person who had seen the big world, but in terms of aura, even Samsung could not compare to him.
This shows how tyrannical the Germinal Group is today.
"Then it's settled."
A capital increase of 30 billion, based on the shareholding ratio of the Sprout Group, requires an investment of 27 billion.
Actually it's not bad.
At the end of the conversation, Lin Zhengdong asked with a smile, "Chairman, do you want to include the breakthroughs achieved in 28nm process technology in this press release?"
Because it was a completion ceremony, the news was not officially disclosed to the public.
Although everything that needs to be known is already known.
"Add, why not add?"
Zhang Shuo is very domineering. Anyway, as the 28nm wafer foundry is about to be completed, he can't hide it even if he wants to.
It's better to show your "trump card" openly.
Although doing so will inevitably arouse the jealousy of competitors Tai Electromechanical and Samsung Wafer, from another perspective, it can also greatly boost the morale of Daosui Group.
Overall the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Moreover, if Xiangtai Electromechanical and Samsung Wafer do not have the courage to show their sword, how can they talk about transcendence?
Just keep it straight.
As long as Maili Mobile remains the mainstay of the global mobile phone market and one of the world's major customers of high-end mobile phone chips, neither Tai Electromechanical nor Samsung Wafer will really dare to do anything.
This is starting from a position of strength!
………
That night, Zhang Shuo attended the reception dinner again.
Early the next morning, we transferred from Luzhou to Jiangxia. Accompanied by Lin Zhengdong, the president of Daosui Group, we attended the commissioning ceremony of the chip packaging and testing factory of Daosui Group.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the same time, as usual, a meeting with the adjutant of Jiangxia City Government was arranged.
Then return to Marina City.
During this period, the news that Weijing Semiconductor had broken through the 28-nanometer advanced process had spread on the Internet, and as expected, caused a sensation again.
“Wow, what a cow!
"
"If I remember correctly, Weijing Semiconductor was established less than a year and a half ago, right? It just broke through from the 40nm process to the 28nm process. Is Zhongxin ashamed of this efficiency?"
"Zhongxin has been in trouble for a long time. It has completely given up on the high-end market and is ready to focus on the mid- to low-end market."
“It’s a wise choice!”
"I have to say that Liang Song is a real boss, and he is a great leader wherever he goes."
"Daosui Group has really found a treasure this time. I hope that Weijing Semiconductor can continue to make brave progress and continue to close the gap with Tai Electromechanical."
"This is a bit difficult."
"Tai Electromechanical's 20-nanometer technology has been put into production, and 16-nanometer technology is also under development. There is a gap of two generations."
"That's not necessarily true, right? I still believe in Mr. Liang Song."
"It's not just Elder Liang Song, to be precise, it's the super combination of Elder Liang Song and Mo Ya, who can create miracles by exerting the effect of one plus one greater than two."
"That's right. Don't forget, King Meng is known as having miraculous hands."
"Well, what if Liang Song had joined Zhongxin instead of Daosui Group? How could he have made a breakthrough so quickly? A rough estimate suggests that Germination would have spent tens of billions on Weijing Semiconductor alone."
"No one can compare to this kind of atmosphere."
"The latest news is that Daosui Group has launched a 30 billion capital increase plan..."
"Okay, I'm convinced!"
“I can only say that Germination is the eternal god, and Meng Wang is the eternal god!
"
It can be seen that Chinese netizens are very excited and proud of Weijing Semiconductor's breakthrough in advanced manufacturing processes, and they all gave positive comments.
In comparison, Weijing Semiconductor's colleagues are a little nervous.
………
Yizhou Province, Tai Machinery and Electrical Headquarters.
"Weijing Semiconductor, Liang Song..."
Chen Zhong, chairman of Tai Mechanical and Electrical, looked slightly gloomy and murmured: "I didn't expect that Weijing Semiconductor would become a trend so quickly."
He now regrets that he failed to try his best to retain Liang Song.
So much so that.
Liang Song first helped Samsung, and now he has made Weijing Semiconductor impressive.
"Chairman, I think there is no need to worry too much."
Sitting opposite Chen Zhong was none other than Tai Mechanical and Electrical Consultant Jiang Yi, "Weijing Semiconductor has just broken through the 28-nanometer process. We are still two generations away from us, and it will not affect the group's high-end business."
"What about the mid-to-low end?" Chen Zhong's eyes burned brightly.
As the world's leading chip foundry giant, Thai Electromechanical's high-end chip business accounts for more than 60-70%, but this does not mean that the mid- to low-end business is no longer needed.
What's more, the 28nm process is difficult to classify into the mid- to low-end series.
"With the rise of Weijing Semiconductor, I personally believe that it is time for the group to make a choice. It can choose to strategically abandon the mid-to-low-end business and focus on the high-end market instead."
Jiang Yi had his own ideas, "After all, Weijing Semiconductor is not like Zhongxin."
Weijing Semiconductor is backed by Daosui Group, and Daosui Group is backed by Germination Group. You know, once a breakthrough is made in technology, the next stage will definitely be to increase investment and seize the market.
This is by no means an unfounded worry.
You know, Weijing Semiconductor’s 28nm wafer foundry is almost completed.
This shows his ambition!
"You're right, let me think about it."
At this point, Chen Zhong agrees with Jiang Yi's idea. However, it is not easy to give up the mid-to-low-end market and adjust the business strategy at once.
The board of directors is very sad.
Jiang Yi saw this and said no more. He believed that the chairman would make a decision in the end.
………
Korea, Samsung Group headquarters.
"Liang Song, traitor!
"
Since the head of Samsung, Lee Hee, suffered a stroke, the young head, Li Rong, has become the actual decision-maker of Samsung. Although he is facing a complicated situation, he is very high-spirited.
Who doesn’t love power among men?
Let’s not talk about the character of the Goryeo chaebol, but their aesthetics have always been very good.
Since taking power, the biggest problem facing Li Rong is how to restore the rapid growth of Samsung Group's electronic information business without being squeezed out by new challengers.
Among them, the mobile phone business and the semiconductor business are the most important.
In the field of smartphones, along with the rapid rise of Maili mobile phones in overseas markets such as Southeast Asia and Europe, Samsung mobile phones have been losing ground in their "private territories".
And there is no hope of counterattacking Maili Mobile again.
Especially after Maili took the lead in announcing the industrial design of Maili smart watches, it left Samsung far behind in terms of diversification strategy.
Even with Li Rong's arrogance, it would be difficult for him to challenge Mai Li again.
To make matters worse, as Chinese mobile phone brands such as Xiaomi and Huawei have successively embarked on a journey to expand overseas markets, Samsung has faced new challenges in mid- and low-end markets such as Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Europe.
It can be said that there is a tiger in front and a pack of wolves behind!
While the mobile phone business is facing shrinkage, the semiconductor business is also encountering a rare crisis.
You must know that the current market position of Samsung mobile phones is closely related to Samsung Group's deep foundation in the electronic information industry and its self-sufficiency in semiconductors.
This is also one of Samsung's core competencies.
But now, in China, there seems to be a super company that is imitating Samsung in an all-round way and advancing hand in hand in the two major fields of smartphones and semiconductors.
That is the Germination Group.
Li Rong, who has been paying attention to Sprout Group, had also noticed the first quarter financial report disclosed by Sprout Group before, which really shocked the young leader of Samsung.
I couldn’t help but eat a whale!
It also made Li Rong become more and more wary of the competitor Mo Ya.
Always pay attention to the latest developments.
Learning that Weijing Semiconductor has broken through the 28nm process, and that it is still under the leadership of Liang Song, will undoubtedly make Li Rong feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
On the other hand, Samsung.
Due to Liang Song's sudden departure, Samsung Wafer's research and development of the 14-nanometer advanced process, which was in a critical period, came to a standstill.
It's simply driving people crazy.
Although it is said that new research and development has gradually become formalized, the progress has obviously slowed down, and it is still unknown when it will be put into production.
“Grudge, thief!
"
While Li Rong gritted his teeth, he felt helpless and felt aggrieved.
………
Before you know it, June has come to an end.
In the last week of June, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment launched a new game "King of Avalon", continuing its dominant position in the global mobile game market.
And on the other side.
With the assistance of the headquarters of the Sprout Group, led by the group president Lu Kai, and the group's investment director Luo Chang'an personally led the team, it took nearly a month to finally complete the final acquisition negotiations for Weichuang Medical and Marui Medical, led by Qingning Group We formally signed acquisition agreements with two medical companies respectively.
This also established a new business structure for Qing Ning Group.
After the acquisition was completed, Qing Ning Group became one of the top three super pharmaceutical giants in China.
