Fight To the Third Generation

San Jose Airport.

Due to Linda Yun's temporary leave, Su Yehao almost forgot to pick up the plane. Fortunately, she sent a message in advance, so that the business was not delayed.

Rushing to the exit in a hurry, the members of the delegation headed by Zhang Rujing happened to pick up their luggage at the airport.

A group of ten people.

There are both product directors of Midea Group and former TSMC executives who have just been recruited.

Marjorie, the former marketing director of Huashuo Computer, who used to make excuses at the Hong Kong City Airport and rubbed off on Su Yehao's plane, appeared in the crowd tonight together.

She has officially resigned from Hua Shuo and entered Su Yehao's assistant office as a consultant.

Su Yehao shook hands with them one by one and greeted them with a bright smile on his lips. Many of the follow-up plans still depended on this group of people, and it was necessary to establish a good relationship in advance.

At this moment.

Mr. Zhang Rujing shook hands with Su Yehao and joked:

"Finally, I was fortunate enough to meet Master Su. It's not easy to meet you. After chatting with them on the road, I found out that you are really busy. Computers, mobile phones, and home appliances are all in one pot, and you have a variety of businesses. soaring."

Su Yehao replied:

"It is because of these manufacturing industries that we need to develop into the semiconductor industry. If all the components are bought from outside, the money is earned by others, and there is no way to improve the market competitiveness. I finally asked you to help me. Makes me confident all of a sudden, the business of OEM chip production is up to you."

"I don't dare to be a big Buddha, I can't talk about it, but after talking with Canon and Nikon, the problem of purchasing equipment has become a bit of a problem. This time I came to the United States to talk to several wafer factories that I have cooperated with before, and see if you can If we can’t cooperate, we can dig some more talents.”

Zhang Rujing has been working for others.

Although in the past two years, the mainland officials have urged him to come up with the idea of ​​starting a new company, but it has not really been implemented.

Now I have come to work under Su Yehao again, receiving an annual salary of millions of dollars. After two months of job-hopping, I will definitely make some achievements.

So when I first met, I sold myself a few words and took the opportunity to prove that I have not been idle recently.

When Su Yehao heard the words, he immediately asked, "Canon and Nikon's lithography machines? How many nanometers are they willing to sell to us?"

"I haven't talked about that step yet. Every year there are new models appearing, and I've encountered the bad news of launching new products just after placing an order. As long as you are willing to spend money on developing new models, there will always be companies willing to sell them, so don’t be too impatient.”

After Zhang Rujing finished speaking, he continued to add:

"The current lithography machine is similar to the money printing machine. After receiving the order and starting production, the profit is quite high. Buying a machine is not the point. If you want to start a business, the key is how to get the order. We can't develop a computer. If you can negotiate a cooperation with Qualcomm this time, I will try to get a discount from Nikon or Canon, and I am familiar with their supervisors.”

""

Su Yehao always felt something strange.

Without a ready-made factory, it is difficult to receive OEM orders. However, without OEM orders, Zhang Rujing does not seem to be in a hurry.

It seems to be a relatively safe approach, but it runs counter to Su Yehao's thoughts, and in his opinion, it is a bit of a waste of time.

After greeting everyone in the car, head to the Hilton Garden Inn in Menlo Park, Silicon Valley.

en route.

Su Yehao and Zhang Rujing sat in the back row together, and he continued to tell:

"Mr. Zhang, if you don't arrange the factory first, others may not be assured of handing over the order to us, right? According to my opinion, hurry up and buy the machine first, anyway, even if a new lithography machine is launched, you can place the order at that time. Older machines can still come in handy.”

Zhang Rujing didn't know what he was thinking, he shook his head and said:

"The investment scale of the wafer foundry is too large. It starts with several hundred million US dollars. If the factory machinery is in place, but the construction is not started in time, every day it will lose money. In that case, my sin will be bigger, so I should be more conservative. Better."

Su Yehao continued:

"Don't worry about the order, even if I can't negotiate with Qualcomm, I'm sure I can find other orders. Let's not say anything else, there are currently few wafer factories in the mainland, only Huajing, Huahong, etc. There must be some in the market. Even if there is a loss, start the machine first and accumulate some experience in the field of foundry, otherwise TSMC will only widen the gap."

After listening.

Zhang Rujing sighed and persuaded: "I have been to Huajing and Huahong. The former suffers serious losses, while the latter also uses Japanese technology to produce memory chips, and the market performance is not optimistic."

Just after seeing the report sent by Vice President Lin Youfeng, Su Yehao said:

"I understand that the two big factories in South Korea are expanding against the trend, squeezing the living space of other peers. If others can go against it, so can I. In fact, I'm planning to watch them compete with each other and wait until someday to raise enough money. Buy some off-the-shelf technology.”

The voice just fell.

Su Yehao felt the need to make it clearer to Zhang Rujing, and immediately added:

"I feel that personal computers will not necessarily be mainstream in the future, and other types of mobile terminals are more marketable."

"Last year, several companies joined forces to build the Saipan operating system, and the 3 network will be popularized sooner or later. Maybe everyone will have a mobile phone and watch videos online anytime, anywhere. This leads to my estimated market share, which is far more than other Institutional calculations."

"Based on this assumption, it is necessary to lay out p, r memory chips and LCD screens in advance, just like Samsung Electronics in South Korea is going. Even if it costs tens of billions of dollars, I will not hesitate."

"Actually, I'm still very optimistic about the new generation of lithography machine technology conceived by Mr. Lin Baojian. I have collected data and studied it before, and I have sent people to contact him several times~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Unfortunately, I don't have any production light for now. He has experience in cutting machines, unless you acquire an existing company, it will be difficult to attract him to join”

""

Zhang Rujing finished listening.

Not only did he not think that Su Yehao's ambitions were lofty, but he thought his ideas were a bit idealized.

Nokia and several companies are indeed working together to develop the Symbian operating system, but until now, the technology companies that have launched the handheld computer have been more unlucky than each other, and all of them have lost their money.

With the development of science and technology, the possibility of the rise of mobile terminals is very high, but Zhang Rujing hesitated for a moment, but honestly said what he said:

"I doubt that you will go bankrupt before that day. I know that guy Lin Baojian. I have found Nikon and Canon, but no one is willing to contribute."

"That's why he didn't find me, and I'd be happy to gamble."

Su Yehao looked at Zhang Rujing and said with a smile:

"I really don't need to save money for me. My ability to make money is better than you think. I have raised several cash cows ahead of time. Even if I lose ten years in a row and lose a billion dollars every year, the problem is not too big."

Zhang Rujing always felt that he was bragging, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Like playing cards, you always think better before you start playing?"

With a positive tone, Su Yehao replied:

"It's really okay, I know my thoughts very well. Now I'm not afraid that you will let it go, but I'm afraid that you will miss the development opportunity if you don't pay attention. Apart from Canon, Nikon and s, which lithography machine company do you think has good technology? , is it easy to be controlled by me?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Rujing scratched his head and told:

"To be honest, I think s' technology is very good, and it is easy to be controlled. It only accounts for less than 10% of the lithography machine market share. Nikon and Canon's machines are relatively stable. Generally, you will buy it when you can't buy it."
