Hearing this name, Xiao Zheng was shocked, and Liu Shisen also noticed it, and the two made eye contact. There were many people at present, so the two of them did not speak, waiting for the arrival of Zhou Minran.
I just heard that Xiao Huahua had already called, "Minran, come to the conference room. Leaders and friends are here today. Please help us introduce them." In about three or four minutes, I saw a man wearing short-sleeved white clothes.
A woman in a coat walked in. She was at least 1.75 meters tall, with short hair and slim shoulders. She didn't have any extra jewelry on her body. She didn't greet people like a sociable person, but sat down next to Xiao Huahua.
, asked: "Sister Xiao, what do you need me to say?"
This Zhou Minran is obviously Xiao Huahua's scientific researcher, but he does not call Xiao Huahua "Director Xiao", but "Sister Xiao". Xiao Huahua smiled and said: "Minran, you are mainly responsible for chip research, just talk about our development
The purpose of the chip and the investment required." Zhou Minran simply replied: "Okay." Xiao Huahua smiled at everyone and said: "Zhou Minran is the director of our company's chip center, please introduce it to everyone."
At this time, Xiao Zheng and Liu Shisen were both guessing that this Zhou Minran was Zhou Minran who resigned from the National Academy of Engineering and was known as the "first female hacker"?
"That's it." Zhou Minran said, "Sister Xiao, no, since I'm officially introducing you to everyone, let me call you 'Director Xiao'. Director Xiao's company only made smartphones at first. Everyone knows that smartphones
The field of mobile phones is just emerging now. If you can make one, you can sell one, and there is no time to produce it. The mobile phones of "Shenxing Technology" have their own designs. You only need to find someone to make them. A mobile phone costs more than 1,500.
Most of the components are imported from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The higher the precision, the more dependent we are on foreign countries, especially the most precise one, which is the chip! In the research and development of chips
, our country’s technology lags far behind that of the rest of the world, and it is currently impossible to produce. Now our cooperation with other countries is pretty good. After all, smartphones have just appeared. Semiconductor companies in the United States, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and other countries are also competing.
Xiang sells chips to us, and the cooperation is relatively smooth. In fact, we only need to take other people's chips and assemble them with other parts, and a mobile phone will be produced. Each mobile phone can earn hundreds to thousands. Now it is
Something easy!
However, Director Xiao had to do a thankless task. She said she wanted to develop and produce her own chips. Therefore, almost all the money she earned from selling mobile phones was invested in the research, development and production of chips, and
It’s far from enough. The development of this chip is a bottomless pit. If it succeeds, it can be solved once and for all. If it fails, the money invested will be like being swallowed by the abyss, and it will not even sink."
In this year, only people from the government and enterprises have just begun to use comfortable touch-screen smartphones. As for the chips used in smartphones, most people have no idea. Liu Shisen, Fang Ya, and Xiao Zheng are naturally the leaders of the government.
I know a little bit, but I don’t understand it very well. As for Teng Bin, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Guangdong Province, he was the mayor of Shenzhen City two or three years ago. He knows more about the smartphone industry, so he naturally understands that smartphones have just emerged.
What the mobile phone companies in Shenzhen City are doing the most now is co-optationism, taking parts produced by others, assembling them and selling them themselves, but they still can’t make enough money. Which other company would do this in a thankless way?
To develop sophisticated chips? Moreover, such high-tech technologies and products are not something you can develop just because you want to!
Therefore, Teng Bin is not optimistic about what "Deep Star Technology" can do in chip research and development and production! At this moment, Xiao Zheng, the mayor of Xihaitou, was asking: "Director Zhou, I would like to ask,
You just said that there is a big gap between our chip technology and the United States, Japan and South Korea. What are the main aspects?"
Zhou Minran glanced at Xiao Zheng, knowing that he was an outsider in this industry and technology, so he tried to speak as simply and clearly as possible: "Let me put it this way, there are three links in chip production that are crucial: First, the design link, a chip
What functions, appearance, and what needs are met need to be achieved through design. It is easier to catch up with the international advanced level in this aspect, but chip design requires the use of design software. Most of the design software is produced in the United States. We
There is almost nothing in this area. Without these advanced design software, our design work will be difficult to achieve. It is very difficult to realize the autonomy of design software.
The second is the production link, chip lithography machines. Currently, the most advanced lithography machines are produced in the Netherlands. For a long time, we have been competing viciously on extensive machine tools, but when it comes to precision instruments and machine tools, there is not much competition.
A big breakthrough. At present, we cannot produce even one such high-precision photolithography machine.
The third is the inspection link, which is how to ensure the yield rate in mass production, which is also very important. Of course, we have not made breakthroughs in the first two, so there is no need to consider the third link at all."
Zhou Minran is indeed an expert in this field, but he seems not to stick to his professionalism and can explain complex issues in a way that everyone can understand!
Liu Shisen asked again: "Director Xiao, I heard from Xiao Zheng that your company needs financing now. Where do you plan to use it? How much money will it cost? Our Secretary Teng Bin is also here today. He used to be from Shenzhen City.
Mayor, I know many people from the four major banks and investment banks." Xiao Huahua glanced at Teng Bin. She didn't know Teng Bin before. Because Xiao Huahua chose Shenzhen to develop his company because of the development atmosphere and scientific and technological talents here.
With the intensive labor force, she was not keen on making friends with officials. But since these leaders came with Xiao Zheng today, Xiao Huahua was also happy to see the results, so he introduced:
"I want to raise funds for two main reasons: First, you just went to see us on the 9th floor. In the process of assembling mobile phones, we mainly rely on manual labor and not many automated equipment, so the time to produce a mobile phone is about the same.
Half an hour. Next, we will invest money and introduce automated production lines to shorten the time to assemble mobile phones by half from half an hour, or even shorten it to less than ten minutes. In this way, our mobile phone production can be greatly increased and we can make more money.
On the one hand, the money is used to expand the scale, on the other hand, the benefits of employees are improved, and the other money is invested in chip research and development.
The second is to invest direct financing into chip research and development. In this regard, Minran has just introduced it to you. At present, we still don’t know when we will succeed in the research and development of precision chips? How much money will we need to invest? However,
We definitely have to do this. Although we can now successfully import chips from other countries, one day, our mobile phone industry will develop and expand, and the sales of mobile phones will expand to the whole world, which will have a negative impact on the mobile phone industries of other countries.
When there is a huge impact, will the United States, South Korea and Japan still be willing to sell us chips as they are now? If then, they strangle us and stop supplying us, what will we do? So, this is something that must be done without choice
!
As for how much we want to raise? I think the more the better, at least 500 million first."
After listening to this, everyone felt that what Xiao Huahua said was very reasonable and far-sighted. However, the future of this matter is really uncertain. Borrowing 500 million yuan or absorbing 500 million yuan of investment is not a lot in the first place.
But it is unknown when their chip research will be successful!
At this time, Xiong Qi's secretary, Yang Jie, had secretly checked his mobile phone many times. By this time, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. He had just received a text message from Secretary Xiong, saying that he was already clearing the customs. About
I can meet Xiao Zheng and others on time at 6:30. But now Teng Bin, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Provincial Committee, is still with them. Will Teng Bin be asked to accompany them later? Or should we find an excuse to let Teng Bin leave? That depends on
What's the excuse? For a while, Yang Jie hadn't found the best way yet.
Just listen to Liu Shisen say to Teng Bin: "Secretary Teng, 'Deep Star Technology' is in such a situation! Do you think you can help coordinate local banks or investment institutions to support 'Deep Star Technology'?" Teng Bin said
"I'm going to make a call and ask relevant friends in the financial industry?" Liu Shisen said, "Please, we'll wait for you." Teng Bin picked up the phone and went out, with his secretary following behind him.
During this waiting time, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but ask Zhou Minran: "Director Zhou, were you from the National Academy of Engineering before?" Zhou Minran was slightly startled and asked, "How do you know?" Xiao Zheng looked at Liu Shisen, who smiled.
He said: "I really agree with what you said, 'There is no place to look for after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here.' I looked for you everywhere, but couldn't find you. I actually found you in Sister Maoer's company!"
Xiao Huahua said nervously: "Why are you looking for Minran? Don't even think about poaching her away. Minran is our company's technical trump card!"
"How could we do such a thing?" Liu Shisen comforted Xiao Huahua, "We just want Minran to do a favor. Whoever dares to poach your people, I will worry about."
Xiao Huahua felt relieved after Liu Shisen's words. She asked, "What help do you need from Minran?"
Without waiting for Liu Shisen and Xiao Zheng to answer, Teng Bin, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and his secretary pushed the door open and came in. He looked apologetic and said: "I'm sorry, Secretary Liu, Minister Fang, I just called the bosses of the four major banks in Shenzhen.
, as well as the CEO of the largest investment bank in Shenzhen, as well as the bosses of several technology investment companies. They expressed the same idea. If 'Shenzhen Star Technology' only engages in mobile phone production and does not engage in chip research and development, they are willing to invest or borrow money.
Money. Nowadays, the production and sale of mobile phones is still a huge profit industry, with quick return on costs and high profits! However, they are not optimistic about chip research and development. They all believe that chip research and development is a bottomless pit, and domestic companies cannot develop products comparable to those of the United States and South Korea.
Chips that are comparable to Japanese companies! Therefore, they all suggested that it is better to earn money from mobile phone assembly and sales! Director Xiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Huahua shook his head resolutely: "I cannot agree to this request. I have said before that chip research and development is our top priority! If we want to give up chip research and development, we would rather not have other people's investment and loans!"
"Then I'm sorry." Teng Bin said, "Secretary Liu, Minister Fang, this is all I can do. I just received a task. There are leaders coming from Huajing tonight, and I have to go and receive them. So,
I’ll take my leave now. You can walk around Shenzhen City and see more!”
Liu Shisen stood up and shook hands with Teng Bin: "Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Teng. This private matter of ours is nothing. You can go and do your work."
Yang Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Once Teng Bin left, the meeting between Secretary Xiong, Liu Shisen, Fang Ya, and Xiao Zheng could be kept a secret!
