The acquisition of the Yangcheng 300-nanometer chip production line of the Motor Group was declared a failure. Yi Xiaohai could only contact Zhou Ping, hoping that he could lend a helping hand and talk to Huaxia International.
Huaxin International is an industry that Zhou Ping is in charge of, and his words carry a lot of weight.
"It's just that Huaxin International has just laid out a 300-nanometer production line and sold it immediately, which is a bit unjustifiable, and Zhou Ping doesn't think it's good either.
"Xiaohai, if you want a production line, you must produce chips. Why don't you let Huaxin International produce them for you?"
"I'm afraid not."
Zhou Ping knew that Kirin mobile phones could not be made public for the time being, so he suggested:
"I can contact the people in Yangcheng. During the production of chips, the security measures have been raised to the highest level, and the local people in Yangcheng have been asked to cooperate to ensure that no rumors leak out."
"Leader, safety is one aspect. The key is that we need to transform the production line."
"Renovation?"
"Kirin mobile phones require 100-nanometer chips. I want to convert the 300-nanometer chip production line into a 100-nanometer chip production line."
Kirin mobile phones cannot be compared with mature smartphones, but they are already real smartphones. The chip requirements are very high and higher-level chips must be used. 100-nanometer chips are the minimum requirement.
The chip production lines of Kirin Mobile are all 400 nanometers and cannot be transformed into 100 nanometer production lines. A minimum 300 nanometer production line is required.
Zhou Ping got an important message from Yi Xiaohai¡¯s words:
"Xiaohai, can Han and Tang really transform the 300nm production line into a 100nm production line?"
"able¡¡"
"marvelous!"
Zhou Ping was very excited:
"I'm afraid even ASL can't make a lithography machine for manufacturing 100-nanometer chips. I didn't expect that it was already made in the Han and Tang Dynasties!!"
Yi Xiaohai was speechless:
¡°I don¡¯t know whether ASL can build a lithography machine for producing 100-nanometer chips, but I know very well that Han and Tang cannot currently produce it.¡±
Zhou Ping feels something is wrong:
"You said that you can transform a 300-nanometer production line into a 100-nanometer production line. Then you must have a 100-nanometer lithography machine, right?"
"have."
"Then you said you can't produce it?"
Yi Xiaohai was speechless:
"Transformation and manufacturing are two completely different concepts. Just because I can transform a photolithography machine that meets the requirements doesn't mean I can manufacture it!"
Yi Xiaohai began to educate Zhou Ping on the knowledge of lithography machines:
"The precision of photolithography machines is very high. The ultraviolet light source and alignment system of the exposure system require nearly perfect precision mechanical technology, aerodynamics, optical lens technology, etc. If you want to create a photolithography machine for manufacturing 100-nanometer chips, , the Han and Tang Dynasties were unable to do so at present, and could only achieve the effect through partial transformation."
"The transformation process only requires the improvement of a certain technology, not the replacement of the whole. In terms of difficulty level, they are simply two concepts."
Zhou Ping felt a little regretful, but Yi Xiaohai¡¯s words provided another information:
"The Han-Tang Laboratory is researching lithography machines?"
"Um."
"Where is it now? Can it be produced?"
"Currently, if you want to produce it, it's fine. The accuracy can reach up to 500 nanometers, and the loss is relatively large. Many technologies are not mature yet and need to be improved."
¡°It is still far from the cutting-edge level, but to be able to achieve such results in less than 4 years is something to be proud of.¡±
Zhou Ping was very pleased,
Although 500 nanometers is indeed not a good result, it took less than 4 years to start from scratch, which is already a miracle.
Give Han-Tang Laboratory another five years, and it may change the whole world.
"There are many treasures in the Han-Tang Laboratory. I have to hurry up and send people to study."
"I've been ready for a long time, waiting for people to come over."
"The list has been sent up, and it will be sent after screening."
Zhou Ping thought that he would urge the people below to submit the list quickly, so that he could go to the Han-Tang Laboratory to study earlier.
"Now let's talk about the production line. Since the production line is to be transformed to 100 nanometer specifications, Huaxin International will provide the production line for you to transform. After the transformation, it will be OEM for you. I guarantee the safety. What do you think?"
Yi Xiaohai knew what Zhou Ping meant and wanted to reserve the 100-nanometer production line for Huaxin International, so that they would have an advantage in chip production.
But it may be difficult to realize his wish.
There is a success rate in transforming a 300-nanometer production line into a 100-nanometer production line. Some equipment may be damaged during the transformation process.
In order to transform the 100-nanometer chip, Hantang Laboratory destroyed two photolithography machines before succeeding.
The most fatal thing is that the output of the transformed production line is very low and cannot truly realize commercial production. If the production line is left to Huaxin International, it will only cause serious losses to Huaxin International.
Kirin mobile phones can be modified regardless of cost, but Huaxin International cannot do so without fear, because Zhou Ping's method will not work.
"Pity¡¡"
Zhou Ping¡¯s hope is good, but it is unrealistic and a bit regretful.
"Leader, Huaxin International will provide the production line this time. Hantang will remember that when our new products come out, they will be the first batch to be provided to Huaxin."
"I'm very happy with your words, then we'll make an agreement."
¡¡
Yi Xiaohai and Zhou Ping reached a consensus, and Zhou Ping reported that Li Kaishan and his superiors attached great importance to the production and release of Kirin mobile phones and approved the sale of Huaxin International's Yangcheng 300-nanometer chip production line.
The next day,
The person in charge of Huaxin International personally contacted Yi Xiaohai to discuss the sale of the production line.
Huaxin International¡¯s production line in Yangcheng is much smaller than that of Motor Group, and the cost should be around 1.3 billion. The other party offered 1.6 billion, and Yi Xiaohai offered 2.5 billion.
Lithography machines are cutting-edge technology, and foreign countries have export restrictions to China. Huaxin International's production lines cost a lot to acquire, and the 1.6 billion is very sincere.
Yi Xiaohai could not let Huaxin International suffer, so he took the initiative to offer a price of 2.5 billion as compensation to Huaxin International.
Because it was Zhou Ping¡¯s responsibility, the person in charge of Huaxin International didn¡¯t know whether he should accept the high price of 2.5 billion offered by Yi Xiaohai.
He called Zhou Ping, and only after Zhou Ping agreed did he feel free to accept Yi Xiaohai's kindness.
Yi Xiaohai spent three days signing the acquisition contract with Huaxin International, making payment, and completely implementing the production line before notifying Zimuyu to send someone to take over.
He specifically told Zi Muyu:
¡°The dismantling work of the production line must be kept confidential and do not let too many people know about it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.¡±
Kirin mobile phones need to be kept secret, and the production line in Yangcheng needs to be kept secret with great fanfare. If the attention is too high, it is easy to be exploited.
Transport it directly back to Suzhou or Shanghai, where there are complete protection measures and a higher safety factor.
However, the disassembly of the production line needs to be done with caution and not with too much fanfare.
Because Huaxin International¡¯s production line has just been built and is now being sold immediately, people who are interested in it will make a fuss about it and cause unnecessary trouble to Zhou Ping.
Although it is said that it has been filed, rumors and rumors are always bad, and if possible, they will not be leaked
