Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The problem of talent finally made Liu Dong and the others breathe a sigh of relief, but the next series of things will not be easy, especially the fab, which requires more consideration of Liu Dong's Huanya Company's ability to handle affairs.

    As a very important part of the semiconductor industry, the fab cannot be bypassed no matter what.  Over the years of reform and development, although the country wanted to introduce it countless times, in the previous life, the first wafer factory was not built on the mainland until two thousand years ago, and this wafer factory was  The factory is not yet controlled by China.

    It is now 1987. If Liu Dong can introduce the wafer factory to China now, it means that China has not only entered the era of cheap wafers more than ten years early, but more importantly, this wafer factory is not made by foreign countries.  controlled by people.

    Liu Dong had a good idea before. He thought that China and the United States were still in the honeymoon period in these years. Before that, he had wanted to introduce wafer fabs and took actions. Although these actions were in the end due to various reasons.  It failed, but it also shows that it is not particularly difficult to introduce this thing now.

    ¡°But when Liu Dong Dalilie really started to take action, he discovered that the fab was not as simple as imagined.  Although China has a long history of wanting to introduce wafer fabs, it has even done a lot of preparation work.  But when he wanted to enter this field, he discovered that not only were there domestic constraints, but foreign countries were not very keen on putting such high-tech things on the Chinese mainland.

    And, most importantly, currently, not only Liu Dong is thinking about this fab, but Taiwan is also thinking about this fab, and just this year, TSMC has been established.  As the main importer of Chinese wafers in later generations, TSMC's boss Zhang is actively dealing with TI, which is Texas Instruments.

    Since Boss Zhang has a very deep relationship with Texas Instruments, Liu Dong's original plan to import wafer technology and factories from TI came to nothing. TI had already reached an agreement with TSMC.  How can you support Liu Dong, a man who has rushed in to grab business from TSMC?  Therefore, Deyi's path is completely dead.

    IBM, the blue giant, has a lot of money and a deep political background. He doesn't like Liu Dong's small business. Finally, Intel doesn't intend to cooperate with a small player like Liu Dong. Others will make their own crystals.  It's all so well done, why should I give an outsider like you a bite to eat?

    None of the three big bosses spoke, and Liu Dong was completely confused.  It's not that Japan and South Korea can't get such technology and equipment, but the key is that these guys, whether Mitsui or Samsung, regard the Chinese market as their own meal. Liu Dong, a Chinese, wants to be in China  Wouldn't establishing a wafer fab cut off their financial resources?  The most important thing is that what Liu Dong wants is a controlling stake, and how can Mitsui and Samsung, which have the technology, let Liu Dong take a controlling stake?  So, in the blink of an eye, no one can help.

    At this time, Liu Dong had already clearly felt the bitter consequences of not being able to buy things even if he had money.  No wonder China¡¯s foreign exchange reserves in later generations amount to trillions of dollars, but the domestic technical level is far behind that of foreign countries. Whether it is emerging electronic consumer products or the heavy industry he is planning to acquire, compared with the world¡¯s advanced level, the gap is not ordinary.  .

    It is undeniable that there is a problem that China does not pay attention to patent protection, and there is also a problem that private or state-owned enterprises do not have a long-term vision. However, there is also a big problem, which is that these foreign people impose a technological blockade on China.

    You know, the wafer factory Liu Dong plans to build this time is only four inches. The international average is six inches, slightly better companies are building eight inches, and big players like Intel are building 12 inches.  In the era, they only had four-inch technology and equipment, and they all guarded themselves so closely. It can be imagined how strict these guys were in guarding the country.

    Although they talk a lot about friendship, when it comes to serious matters, these guys all shrink their heads.  Although with Liu Dong's ability, it is not impossible to obtain these technologies and equipment from abroad.

    But the price is too high, and Liu Dong cannot give any political commitment, nor can it tarnish Huanya's newly established international image. It is really difficult to build this fab through normal means.  too difficult.

    The most important thing is that Liu Dong currently does not have the manpower to support the fab team.  The reason why semiconductors are often called half-inverted is because if one of the three items of capital, technology, and personnel is not satisfied, then the semiconductor can easily become half-inverted.

    Now, Liu Dong has nothing to do with the construction of the wafer fab except funds to successfully complete the task.Both personnel and technology are lacking.  During the previous recruitment, Liu Dong did not expect to recruit several talents who could make wafers from this advertisement. However, since there is no such industry in China, even in university laboratories, this thing is relatively unfamiliar. In addition to recruiting  Except for a few people who graduated from universities with very backward technical ideas, not a single hair was gained.

    And if these people who can be called experts in the country really want to play a role in wafers, they have to deepen their studies in relevant aspects, and they must also go to those mature companies to learn before they can barely use them.  As for taking the lead, that is simply delusional.

    So, after thinking that he could solve the talent problem and start taking action boldly, Liu Dong realized that what he had said before seemed a bit full.  Looking at Cui Xiaoming who was reporting to him on the work of Huanya Laboratory in front of him, Liu Dong felt helpless.

    "What you mean is that if our company forcibly launches a wafer fab now, there is a 99.9% chance that it will immediately become a half-destruction. Not only will it not receive any benefits, but it will also cause  A half-collapsed enterprise, holding back a large amount of our company's capital, is slowly eating away at our liquidity like a black hole?" Liu Dong asked.

    As Cui Xiaoming, the veteran of Huanya Company from the very beginning, although his ranking in the company is not obvious, there is still a huge gap whether compared with Chen Jie or Chen Zhihao. Even if he is compared with the newly promoted Ren  He doesn't have any advantage over Da Dao. In the company, there are definitely more people who know Da Dao Ren than people who know Cui Xiaoming.

    But no matter what, Cui Xiaoming, who was in charge of the Huanya Science and Technology Research Institute for the first time, plays a decisive role in Liu Dong's heart.  Although Cui Xiaoming cannot expand territory for Liu Dong's company development, nor can he bring huge profits to Liu Dong.  However, a boss like Cui Xiaoming who controls the scientific research direction of the company is equivalent to the logistics minister during the war years.

    The generals fighting in the front are certainly majestic, and the commander-in-chief as the commander-in-chief will respond to every call.  But without the Minister of Logistics to ensure that there is sufficient ammunition for the front line, troops with no bullets and guns that are no better than fire sticks cannot fight.

    Therefore, even though many people do not know Cui Xiaoming, no one in the core circle of Huanya management does not know Cui Xiaoming's role.  Although so far, Huanya Technology Research Institute is still studying materials and thoroughly understanding the materials obtained by Liu Dong from all aspects, but there are not many new things they have created on their own.

    But everyone knows that if the people who are really waiting for the Huanya Technology Research Institute have thoroughly digested the massive information that Liu Dong has obtained, then the newly established factories of Huanya will be on the fast track, with sufficient funds, and  Factories with advanced technology products will be popular anywhere.

    "Yes, my boss, if you really want to forcefully launch a wafer fab, even for a four-inch wafer project, you have to be prepared to go bankrupt. Although our company has research reserves in machinery and materials science,  It is relatively outstanding, but the company currently does not have a research group that specializes in wafer issues, and even there are only a few researchers. These few people are not enough to support such a huge project of building a wafer factory. Therefore,  I suggest that you, boss, give up temporarily or postpone the construction of the wafer fab project. Concentrate our control on the advantageous projects of our institute." Cui Xiaoming said seriously.

    Hearing Cui Xiaoming's words, Liu Dong asked angrily: "But I have already promised in front of the chief that our company will invest two billion US dollars in mainland China and build a wafer factory. If we don't build it,  Wouldn't it be a bad idea to admit that our company is bragging in person, which would have a bad impact on the company?"

    Liu Dong's words seemed very unwilling, but Cui Xiaoming, who has always been more rational than emotional, did not accept Liu Dong's trick and said calmly: "This is your own business. Even the letter of intent for the project has been returned beforehand."  It was not finalized, so we hurriedly made a guarantee, so it would be strange if there would be no problems. I did not tell you that our Huanya Technology Research Institute has mastered the wafer technology."

    "Then what should we do? At first, I thought that there are so many wafer fabs abroad, and TI's main business is not in this area. It is not difficult to get this project from them. I  How did you know that TSMC was actually established at this time? Isn¡¯t this cutting off people¡¯s financial opportunities?¡± Liu Dong also said angrily.

    Although Liu Dong¡¯s memory contains the term TSMC, and he knows that TSMC in later generations is very powerful.  But he didn¡¯t study business history. When TSMC was established, how could he know that at this juncture, TI gave the wafer project to TSMC, and TSMC arranged the wafer factory with Liu Dong?  The distance was very close, so Deyi would not make herself uncomfortable, so Liu Dong suffered a tragedy.
