In the spacious back seat, a young classmate, Wen Liang, crossed his legs and talked on the phone.
A press conference involves a lot of things.
Plus the media interview later.
Now, whether it is the online onlookers, stakeholders, or private business owners, all aspects have been affected, as if the world has been turned upside down.
In fact, as early as the press conference was still in progress and before Wen Liang took the stage, some calls came to his private external phone number.
With so many partners, there will always be some who may be anxious.
It is not excluded that some of the partners are very concerned about Mr. Wen.
As for the real-time interviews that followed, it made many partners even more nervous and couldn't help but make phone calls.
"Everywhere, Mr. Ze is just bragging. There is no way that all the parts are ready. Most of them have not been prepared yet. It is just a business behavior that talks about the screen."
"Haha... This is true. When making end products, the control over the supply chain is also a very strong competitiveness. If I have the parts and components, I will be more competitive."
Wen Liang dealt with it with a smile.
"...Who is causing trouble behind this? I really can't say for sure. I have been on vacation for the past month or two, but if I can't find anyone, I can think it is Boss Liu. Tsk...an unemployed old man is really scary!
"
I was too embarrassed to go any further over there.
Wenliang's attitude is very clear.
His statement today is sincere. He and the capitalists are not from the same country.
In other words, although Wen Liang is very good at using capital means to implement business strategies, this does not mean that he chooses to become a capitalist.
You can think of him as a hawk.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wen. Bolang's background is much deeper. It's really hard to hide it from everyone. How come he suddenly started researching on his own? It's amazing."
"It's overrated. After all, Xinghai is the benchmark against Apple. What can show the same competitiveness is of course the independent controllability of core components. Android is an authorized system after all, and the bottom layer is there."
"..."
Those who care about the industry are mainly Lei Jun and several other bosses in the same industry.
There were also people who joined in the fun to congratulate them, such as Maperli and others, including Zhang Sanshi and Shen Nanpeng.
"Mr. Wen, congratulations."
"Same joy."
"We took advantage."
"That's true."
Among them, Mapperly finally made a special mention: "Mr. Wen, some aspects are just one thing on the surface and another on the inside. It's very complicated, so you need to pay more attention."
"Thank you, Mr. Ma." Wen Liang thanked him politely.
When he reaches Mapperly's status, he no longer cares about whether Wen Liang fires or not, and it will not affect Bai Goose.
It even has more elements of watching a play.
The reminder is just based on the friendly cooperation in the past for so long.
Besides, the impact of Wen Liang's statement will be earth-shattering. That is Wen Liang's own business. He can't handle it. It only shows that times have changed and the color has changed.
If it reaches that point, things will be simpler. Whether it is interesting or not is another matter.
…………
When Wen Liang walked into Bolang's office area, his personal phone rang.
Seeing the note name displayed on the screen, Wen Liang couldn't help but smile.
Those three words are just short of being marked as a great injustice.
After sitting behind the desk, Wen Liang answered the phone: "Hey, Mr. Miao, Mr. Miao, hello. If you have anything, you can tell me."
The old man got straight to the point: "I had a good vacation before, but why am I suddenly so sharp again? You should know how far some people can go with their words."
"You should also know a lot about carrying the flag and rebelling against it."
Wen Liang said calmly: "I'm not naive."
"Huh?" Lao Miaotou was startled for a moment, "Then why don't we hide our capabilities and bide our time for a while? Some people will ignore the high wages and insist on breaking the market rules."
Wen Liang blocked it with one sentence: "Let's wait until these people's voices can gain traffic. No one from above is in charge. Bolang will let everyone know what a public opinion position is."
The old man was so angry that he turned around and said in a strange tone: "You two are really a perfect match. Mr. Ze is invincible, and Mr. Wen is a blast."
"Mr. Ze is not bragging." Facing the old sign, Wen Liang's answer was different, "We have sufficient reserves of components and materials, not just screens. Anyway, as long as it is purchased outside the country, it is basically enough, including Shenlong
series of high-end SoCs.”
"The current monthly production capacity of TSMC's 28nm process is about more than 70,000 wafers. On average, each wafer can cut out about 450 qualified chips, and it can produce more than 30 million chips in one month."
"Apple's current orders are manufactured by Samsung. They secretly spend money on TSMC to develop the 20nm process, and they don't expect it to be used this year. We don't pay attention to the 20nm process. TSMC is happier than a sleepy pillow. It has been
I can’t take orders from Apple. Now Apple’s demand is not for 28nm, so I can’t wait for a big customer like Bolang.”
"Not only is Mr. Ze not bragging about his awesomeness, in fact, our current reserves are more abundant than what he said. There is no other way. If you have money, you can make a fool of yourself."
The old man listened patiently to Wen Liang's bragging.
As for why Bolang does not pay attention to the more advanced lithography process of 20nm, it is because massive funds are now poured into Hua Hong Semiconductor, SMIC, and Starry Sky Semiconductor, which is still under construction.
The Bolang team analyzed that one of the three companies will definitely be able to break through the technological barrier in the next year.
After all, the hundreds of billions that Bolang has invested in the upstream of semiconductors are not just for sound. Various breakthroughs are emerging one after another.
What needs to be explained here is that the principle of a photolithography machine is actually very, very simple, which is to use light to project patterns onto silicon wafers.
Yes, the principle of the photolithography machine, known as the crown of modern industry, is that simple.
There are nothing more than two big difficulties in specific implementation:
How to make patterns as small as possible;
And how to make production efficiency as high as possible.
In terms of current technology, the pattern should be as small as one square millimeter with almost hundreds of millions of transistors. Well... one square millimeter is equal to 000001 square meters, which is too many zeros. Let's change it to one millionth of a square meter.
That is: a place less than the size of a pinhead needs to be equipped with hundreds of millions of transistors, or even more than 100 million transistors.
Production efficiency is now so high that it can produce 2 to 300 300 mm (12-inch) wafers per hour.
Each wafer can theoretically cut 700 to 1,000 chips. However, the area of different chips, wafer edge loss and yield rate mean that the current qualified output of one wafer is generally around four to five hundred chips, and it will definitely be higher in the future.
.
Advanced lithography machines such as ASML's products can guarantee 24/7 operation, with annual downtime not exceeding 3%.
In addition...the bald head can only expose an area of about 26x33 mm, which is the size of a rubber, at one time. A 12-inch wafer is about 70,659 square millimeters, and it needs to be moved hundreds or even hundreds of times for one exposure.
From this, you can imagine how fast the lithography machine moves, and the positioning of each movement must be accurate to tens of nanometers - tens of thousands of times a hair.
Therefore, with such a simple principle of photolithography, coupled with such fine process requirements, the test is really not all about physics, chemistry, technical engineering, etc., but also the level of funding.
Making machines with precise movements and outrageous movements work stably is a huge engineering challenge, and it also requires a large number of necessary attempts to gain experience.
In fact, the amount of research funds invested will eventually be limited.
Because later even the most expensive ASML
EUV lithography machines only sell for US$200 million each, and the global demand for EUV will not be too large. It is difficult to even have 100 units.
So...if Bolang's Starry Sky Semiconductor project is completely successful, the global semiconductor industry will face extreme pressure.
In addition, some people believe that in the next few decades, Moore's Law will be promoted not mainly by physics, but by money.
Bolang Group, which had a profit of RMB 71.3 billion in the first quarter of 2013, under the leadership of Wen Liang, is further getting rid of its dependence on the semiconductor industry chain outside the mainland, thus further promoting the localization of the semiconductor industry chain!
So much so that even though Huahong originally had no motivation for advanced processes...or was powerless, it also determined the technology path selections for 28nm and 20nm in the first quarter, established a research and development plan, and is now planning to establish a process benchmark.
Also in the past quarter, Huahong's only 12-inch 40nm process production line finally achieved stable production due to taking over the foundry of Bolang Terminal Shenlong M1.
In fact, the most likely one is SMIC. It has completed the 20nm technology path selection as early as the first quarter of 2012, and established a research and development plan in the second quarter. The original plan was to establish a process benchmark this year, but now it has only been accelerated.
As for Starry Sky Semiconductor...the company's goal from the beginning was not to pursue manufacturing processes, but to complete domestic substitution first.
The old man responded perfunctorily, and then changed the subject: "You don't seem to be an impatient person. A media reporter's ulterior motives will not make you angry."
"After all, it's one thing to do it, and another thing to say it."
Wen Liang smiled and said in a calm tone: "I figured out some things during the more than a month of vacation."
"For example, let's go to the poker table with Ami. The intercontinental one who is more than 10,000 kilometers away is the left hand that holds down the card table to prevent it from turning over. The mid-range and short-range one who is more than 2,000 kilometers away is the one who slaps the opponent in the face with all his strength.
The right hand that slaps."
"Bo Lang is left-handed, and I am right-handed. I used to think it was best not to use either one, but now I find that I can use my right hand as much as I want. At worst, I will show off my left hand when I am done with it, and I will use it if I am not afraid of death."
After saying this, Wen Liang changed his tone: "I have nothing to say to Chongzhi. The leader is far-sighted. He believes that seeking peace through struggle will lead to peaceful survival, and seeking peace through compromise will lead to peaceful destruction. I deeply admire this, and I only regret to know later."
I feel sleepy afterward."
The old man said clearly: "I understand."
The veteran finally understood that whether it was flexing his muscles at the press conference or suddenly making sharp statements with ulterior motives in front of reporters, these were Bolang's next strategic needs.
Bolang needs to be focused and targeted at home and abroad. Only in this way can it gain higher value recognition.
For example, now that Bolang has disclosed the secret of its self-developed operating system, the Internet is very excited, but...it is only excitement, and not too much attention to how much Bolang has paid and how much it is worth.
In layman's terms, anything that is too easy to obtain will not be cherished too much.
It is almost similar to the route of Juchang later.
If there is no external pressure, Bolang's breakthrough in localization will only make the people and the upper class take it for granted, instead of thinking that Bolang is far-sighted. Some people who are used to being aloof will still want to provoke Bolang.
Wen Liang was fed up with this kind of treatment.
What he wants is fairness, fairness, or the fairness of riding a horse.
He doesn't want this or that kind of marketing at all. What he wants is to stop people from jabbering and pointing around.
Internet marketing is not used at Bolang's current stage, but rather disdained.
Even if there are occasional real self-media releases on the domestic Internet that praise the Bolang aspect, they will receive friendly advice from the Bolang Legal Department.
It’s okay to discuss hot topics, but it’s not okay to post alone to praise them.
As for those who posted separate posts to smear people... that would be more lenient.
Those who are paid to publish articles, or some editors who work for online media and other institutions to publish articles, will generally feel what Bolang Legal is.
I have no choice but to hit R&D with real swords and guns, and I will be tough.
Finally, Lao Miaotou said: "Today is different from the past. It is difficult for us to help with some things. Please pay more attention to yourself."
Wen Liang was not surprised: "I understand this. Let's slowly identify who is our opponent."
The old man said no more.
He has faith in meekness.
…………
After ending the phone call, Wen Liang also breathed a sigh of relief. He still needed to know the voice above.
In fact, he was quite relaxed in comparison.
Mr. Chen received more calls.
Fortunately, Jiaxin is now very perfunctory and can handle everything with ease.
Not long after, Lixia knocked on the door and came in, handed over some documents and information, and gave a brief verbal report.
Wen Liang flipped through the information.
In fact, the timing of the "Bolang Research" meeting was considered just right, at least very much in line with Wen Liang's intentions.
One is that I happen to be at Google
After I/O.
One is to get ahead of WWDC.
Finally, Wen Liang clearly remembers that a big incident happened in June 2013.
Two words:
prism
He clearly remembered that the subsequent impact of this incident was relatively large in China, and the clamor for localization was very high, but the duration was not particularly long, and the impact was only about three or four years.
With such a gap in information, Wen Liang certainly has more than just such a simple pursuit, he is also plotting to be targeted more.
Bolang needs to be specifically targeted before the industry can be activated.
Even though Bolang has invested so much money now, its influence is still relatively limited.
Because the atmosphere is not there, some people engaged in semiconductor research have changed careers for many years, while some are still waiting and watching.
Once Bolang is targeted on a large scale, the coverage will be extensive. Domestic interested people will almost instantly realize that the opportunity for domestic substitution has come, and good days have arrived.
Looking through the recent key news reports compiled by Li Xia, Wen Liang didn't find much useful information, except... one small thing.
"Butterfly wings?"
From this information, Wen Liang discovered that Ma Ali was very quiet this year and did not run around. The important thing is that he did not go to Sichuan and Chongqing, and he did not announce the establishment of a small and micro financial services group.
Just...that ant hasn't appeared yet.
Wen Liang personally is very disgusted with the Internet financial model.
Part of the reason is that this thing is very deceptive. Chen Jiaxin had to use it once, and it was a bit unsettled. Later, it was him and Li Ze who helped get out of the quagmire.
Part of the reason was that the thunderstorm behind was extremely severe.
Part of it is destroying countless possibilities.
The last part of the reason is that Bolang now has a company called Huipay, which has sub-brands such as Xiaocheng Pay and WeChat Pay, so it is easy to be affected by its peers.
If Ma Ali does not take the lead in opening the Pandora's box of Internet finance, and Wen Liang exerts some influence, the post-90s generation will probably have an easier time in the future.
Originally, Wen Liang was waiting for Ma Ali to open up, and then made a backhand to exaggerate the danger, just in time to trick Ali again.
First of all, when Wen Liang took the initiative to contact us, Ma Ali made it clear that he would not become a partner with Wen Liang - for example, none of the Alibaba apps are available on the Star App Store.
Secondly, Ma Ali has been very close to Lao Liu. Now that Lao Liu has been unemployed for several months, he still seems to be evil-minded. This is disgusting. I don’t believe that Ma Ali didn’t get involved with Wen Liang.
After all, he is considered a potential opponent.
Wen Liang doesn't think any kindness is needed when dealing with opponents.
It doesn't matter now, just do it slowly. Originally, Wen Liang had to clean up the insects that jumped out this time. The reporter's question was not that easy to get over.
…………
Later, Bolang launched two new online platforms, both websites.
One is the Star System Open Source Foundation.
There’s not much to say about this, it’s just the Star Kernel Open Source Forum.
One is: Xinghai official website.
This needs to be said.
Bolang Terminal has finally officially launched the Xinghai product official website, which is well-constructed and has five main categories of navigation bars: stores, mobile phones, tablets, accessories, and technical support.
Supports the direct purchase of Xinghai series products on the Xinghai official website, including operations such as making reservations.
Support Bolang unified users.
Wait, wait, wait.
In addition, the international version is also launched simultaneously...
Specifically, it is divided into sub-sites such as France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Canada, Russia, India, etc.
This means that future Xinghai products can not only be purchased through offline cooperative authorized stores, but also through online orders.
Specifically, Orange Logistics connects with major express delivery companies in various countries.
As for whether Orange Logistics has the ability to expand its international express delivery business, it depends on Xindai and others.
For the launch of the Xinghai official website, Bolang basically did not arrange domestic promotion resources, but overseas... advertising was overwhelming.
Range, Twitter, Xiaocheng Book International Edition, QQ International Edition, etc., as long as online social platforms can place advertisements, I have invested in them.
Not surprisingly, some night owls in Europe and the United States started discussions.
Ah San: "Oh~ there is still no Ami station!"
Xiao Xiba: "..."
Xiaori: "..."
Ami: "..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Some A&Ms are a little bit embarrassed on the international Internet. They have to buy Xinghai products secretly, which creates a gap in comparison.
In Silicon Valley, which is 15 hours slower than China, some people are already having a headache...
