Chapter 337 Joint Venture Production Line

Monday the 24th.

Wen Liang, who didn't have to go to class or go to the company, slept until he was tired and didn't get up until he was tired.

I looked at the time and it was already 11 o'clock.

As usual, the house is empty.

Ms. Wang Wanhua and Comrade Wen Ruiguo went to work early and on time.

A salty fish is a salty fish. Generally, you don’t arrive late and leave early. Anyway, you will be picked up by car when you leave early and come home late. At most, you can go out for a walk and have a cup of afternoon tea or something if you have something to do.

I have always been very confident about my son's ability to take care of himself, so he would not leave any notes or anything like that.

After washing up, Wen Liang went downstairs and drove to Wuhan University in his family's car. He picked up Su Jian, who had finished half a day of classes, and had lunch together outside the campus.

After the meal, Su Jian chirped: "If you didn't drive, if you were in the cafeteria, it would really feel like a campus love affair."

"Now it's time for the Mary Sue to unfold."

"It seems a little different from what I thought."

Wen Liang interrupted Su Jian's 'fantasy': "Wake up, in traditional terms, you are already my wife, don't think about children."

Su Jian: ""

She didn't bother to pay attention to this boring old man.

Keep chirping.

"Why do I have so many courses? Are we attending a form of college?"

"There is not a complete morning or afternoon from Monday to Saturday, and such days will continue for more than half a year."

"Fortunately, I went through the application process according to our school's tradition. Once I have earned enough credits in my junior year, I can graduate and stay with you for one year."

Wen Liang was not surprised, but said happily: "I graduated with a double degree one year ahead of schedule. She is indeed my fiancée."

"Humph" Su Jian hummed softly, "In two years you will know how to call the leader!"

Wen Liang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Leader Su."

Some universities in China have channels for graduating early with full credits. There are also some examples of undergraduate students skipping a grade, and even undergraduate students jumping to a Ph.D.

For example, the University of Science and Technology of China also has a junior class that has been established for many years.

Geniuses never follow common sense.

However, Su Jian is not a genius, he can only be said to be average.

The last famous Wuhan University undergraduate student who skipped a grade was Boss Lei Junlei. He happened to be one of the first batch of Wuhan University to implement the trial credit system in the country and completed the course in two years.

There is a saying that Boss Lei was probably more famous than Wen Liang at Wuhan University. He started a business in the 1990s and finally sold the company and made millions.

In fact, Wen Liang can also graduate early through the credit channel, but why should he graduate early? Isn't it better to just work in China?

Although Bolang's scale no longer requires the banner of recruiting Chinese workers, how high is the richest man who is a student?

So Wen Liang added another sentence: "But Leader Su, I'm afraid I won't be able to graduate with you. I want to go to graduate school. Although I am not interested in my studies, do you think the Chinese Trade Union will give me a guarantee for graduate school?"

"

Su Jian cursed unceremoniously and looked dissatisfied: "You are a horse-riding person, how can you take up the quota!"

"I think it's good to be a student." Wen Liang said in a gentle tone, "As for getting a quota, a professor wanted me to study as a graduate student before I even started my business."

Su Jian thought seriously: "But will this be too controversial?"

"Am I afraid of controversy? Just post my transcripts." Wen Liang didn't care.

His grades are really good, and no one can beat him in the Grade 10 Mathematics class. Among students of the same level in the Department of Mathematics, only Zheng Qi, a true genius, is better than him.

Maybe this is called talent.

In the midst of chattering, Wen Liang sent Su Jian back to the Wuhan University campus and made an appointment to go to the yard next door to see Old Li Tou together after the official business was settled.

As soon as he drove away from the Wuhan University campus, Wen Liang received a call from Su Hean.

"You have made Apple very anxious this time. They have really spent a lot of money, and the city even held a special meeting because of this."

Wen Liang answered the question at the right time: "How is the atmosphere?"

"Fortunately, there are always different voices." Su He'an said in a slow tone, "There are always some people who are greedy or simply need to take sides."

"As the old saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."

Wen Liang laughed twice: "Indeed, what are the specific regulations?"

Su He'an replied: "Without a charter, the job cannot be considered to be for Apple. It can only be said that Apple's public relations know how to use the rules this time, and it is estimated that the next step will be promoted in a more reasonable way."

"But it won't have much impact on Bolang. Yangcheng can lose a promise, but it must not lose Bolang."

Wen Liang asked vaguely: "What does Boss Wan think?"

"He has no idea." Su Hean answered directly.

Then he said: "Actually, it's good to make a fuss, so that next year's fiscal, urban investment, and industrial investment will have more money to appease."

Wen Liang smiled and said nothing more.

600 is not stupid. No matter how many ideas he has, he would not dare to be inclined towards this kind of thing.

After all, as time goes by, 600 feels more and more that the superiors have some opinions on themselves, so now it is too late to unite, how can they cause trouble?

As for Apple.

The campaign against Bolang has already entered a relentless stage.

If it weren't for the Pacific Ocean, Apple would have probably found a way to crush the relatively fragile Bo Lang to death.

Being able to get Su and An to call this time already shows that they have used a lot of resources.

If the situation continues to be unfavorable to Apple, it is estimated that large-scale cooperation such as establishing a headquarters in China and building a cooperative foundry will affect the preference of Bolang Terminal's major shareholders.

Even across the Pacific Ocean, Apple has many cards it can use in the Chinese market.

But as Su He'an said, it's good to make a fuss. It's impossible for Yangcheng to give up Bolang just because of some small cooperation with Apple.

The impact is too big.

Not proportional to the harvest.

Of course, the premise is that the Bolang terminal is always powerful.

On the other hand, Wen Liang never puts his eggs in one basket. The fact that he is now in Jiangxia is enough to illustrate the problem.

He didn't bother to use any means to influence the thoughts of those above Yangcheng, and asked Bolang to wait and see what would happen.

If Yangcheng makes a decision that is not conducive to Bolang today, Wen Liang will dare to move Bolang tomorrow.

It’s hard to say about other places. He didn’t believe that Jiangxia could be affected!

In the afternoon, Wen Liang changed into a suit and attended the official business cooperation meeting.

Lin Hong, the legal manager, was among the Bolang mobile office team that came to Yangcheng.

On the opposite side were the troops led by Huali Wei Lei Haibo.

Huali Micro is a company under Huahong and is a leading integrated circuit chip manufacturing company in the industry. It was founded in 2010.

When talking about Huali Micro, we have to talk about Huahong. Huahong is the main body of the 909 project. The first chairman's specifications are unimaginably high and the resources are very rich.

Bolang took the initiative to find Hualiwei to establish in-depth cooperation, and the initial negotiations went smoothly, which led to the current situation.

"Manager Lei, this is our first meeting. Please take care of me."

"Hello, Mr. Wen, please take good care of me."

After the two parties briefly exchanged greetings, Wen Liang did not hesitate and brought up the business with a smile: "I have to apologize to Manager Lei. We are really here to steal business."

"Haha, Mr. Wen is too polite." Lei Haibo also smiled, "Bolang is willing to enter the chip manufacturing industry, which will have a very positive effect on the industry. I think friends in the domestic industry are all looking forward to it."

Wen Liang didn't hide anything and spoke frankly: "Originally, we really didn't need to enter the chip manufacturing industry, but the current situation is not very favorable. Apple has interfered in some things through public relations in the past two days, and Yangcheng held a meeting in the morning because of this."

"I am a very insecure person. The unfriendliness of overseas markets has been so obvious in recent times, so I have to prepare for a rainy day."

After hearing this, Lei Haibo couldn't help but look deeply at Wen Liang, who had a calm expression, and said with an moved expression: "Mr. Wen's every move is really admirable."

""

After several brief discussions, Wen Liang put forward Bolang's needs: "We have established a wholly-owned semiconductor subsidiary in Jiangxia and plan to build a 12-inch chip production line that can cover the 28nm process, with a planned monthly production capacity of 20,000 pieces."

"Preliminary calculations require an investment of 8.721 billion yuan in addition to civil construction costs."

"We hope that your company can build a joint venture with us and share your valuable experience in the construction of 12-inch chip production lines for a fee."

Lei Haibo agreed almost without hesitation and was very frank: "Of course there is no problem. The group also hopes to complete the industrial chain in this way, but it is difficult to cover the 28nm process. At present, our company's most advanced stable process

It’s still at 40nm, mainly due to the lack of key equipment.”

Speaking of this, Lei Haibo did not hide anything: "The group has also been actively trying to open up relevant channels recently, and it is expected that key equipment will be introduced within next year."

The fact that the communication between the two parties was so candid was related to Wen Liang finding Grandpa Miao.

However, if we can get to the point where Wen Liang personally comes forward to negotiate, it will definitely be the result of frank communication. Otherwise, how many people in Bolang will be able to make a living?

Subsequently, the two parties launched detailed discussions on the specific issues of the joint venture.

According to the conventional chip production line construction plan, civil construction costs account for 40% and industrial equipment costs account for 60%. Theoretically, the total investment is as high as more than 14.5 billion.

A chip production line involves not only photolithography machines, but also equipment for etching, deposition, diffusion, ion implantation, polishing, etc. It covers a production line with a monthly production capacity of 20,000 pieces of 28nm process. The equipment cost of 8.7 billion is not included.

many.

However, the planned civil construction cost of Bolang is 1.9 billion, because the land cost and other expenses are deducted.

Namely: Mr. Wen wants to use Jiang Xia for free.

The overall plan is that for this joint venture production line, Bolang will be responsible for the 1.9 billion civil construction cost and 50% of the equipment cost.

According to friendly negotiations between the two parties, Hualiwei's share of this joint venture production line is 38%. This is still taking into account Hualiwei's paid experience, otherwise the proportion would be even lower.

After all, just because Bolang can do it for free doesn't mean the cost doesn't exist.

Finally, Wen Liang mentioned: "Your company has experience in building my country's first 12-inch automatic production line. We hope that your company can help us build an additional small-scale chip manufacturing test line. Excluding civil construction costs, the investment is expected to be 1 billion."

Lei Haibo nodded in agreement again: "No problem, we can understand Mr. Wen's painstaking efforts, and we will do our best in this regard."

The industry is aware of Bolang's investment and cooperation in the semiconductor industry.

After all, Bolang has reached some cooperation frameworks with multiple commercial companies, and the tendency is relatively obvious.

All in all, everyone was happy with this discussion.

Bolang initially achieved what he wanted.

As for why we had to find a joint venture with Hualiwei, one was because of the funds, and the other was because Wen Liang was very satisfied with their efficiency.

When Huali Micro built the country's first automatic 12-inch production line, it only took 15 months to reach the trial tape-out stage. You must know that the scale is 35,000 pieces per month, which is 15,000 pieces per month more than this joint venture line. .

One production capacity refers to a 12-inch wafer. Under normal circumstances, a 12-inch wafer can produce 400 qualified chips, which are the kind of processor chips found in computers/mobile phones.

In addition, Huali Micro is also relatively experienced in civil construction solutions for chip production lines. At that time, the production line completed the civil construction and moved in process equipment in only 10 months.

What Wen Liang valued was experience in this area, so he went through such a lengthy joint venture process.

He also specifically mentioned that he hopes to bring efficiency to a more reasonable level, especially the small-scale test line.

Lei Haibo is clearly prepared in this regard and provided a conservative figure: civil construction can be completed in 7 months.

That is: if everything goes well, this time will be shortened.

After all, the scale is small, and there is no need to consider production capacity. It is a real one. The entire line will only have one set of equipment, not one of those multi-production lines.

After the two parties signed a memorandum of cooperation on the joint venture to build a production line, Wen Liang went directly to the city government.

Bolang currently only has 5 billion planned for semiconductor companies. With the Huali Micro joint venture, it is still short of more than 2.5 billion.

There is also land

ps: There are only a few hours left for the double monthly pass, please support me with a wave of monthly passes!!! In addition, there was an update missing yesterday, and it should be made up for today, so don’t worry.
