Chapter 443: 40 nanometer technology licensing? Acquisition of packaging and testing plants (Monthly ticket plus more)

"This Double Eleven promotion not only includes Xingyi Mall and Mayu Mall, but also e-commerce platforms such as JD.com, Tmall, and Amazon."

"As well as offline flagship stores, specialty stores, and authorized stores, we are fully launching the Double Eleven promotion!"

"In cities where Ele.me is available, you can also enjoy the exclusive online ordering and door-to-door delivery service by Ele.me riders!"

"The promotion time is limited, welcome to buy!"

Taking advantage of the launch of cloud data and the gathering of media, Wang Yi directly announced the Double Eleven promotion of Xingyi Technology and Mayu Technology, which naturally gained the greatest exposure and traffic!

The acquisition of SMIC's Shanghai wafer factory would require 120 billion in cash, plus the previous investment in the wafer factory and the bulk purchase of lithography machines, which would be too much money.

Wang Yi's family is huge and his business is huge, and he is a little overwhelmed, so he has to recover his losses as soon as possible.

And this Double Eleven promotion is the best opportunity!

If it's done well, it's possible to recover more than 20 billion in one go and make a net profit of 10 billion.

Promotion efforts must also be in place!

Clothing and cosmetics have high profit margins, so they offer a 30% discount on orders over 1,000 yuan to boost sales.

Mobile phones, tablets, and TVs are all reduced by 200-500!

It’s a good opportunity to take advantage of the Double Eleven promotion to clear out the stock of NVIDIA and Qualcomm versions.

In this way, there will be little inventory left by the end of the month, and the original price will be restored and sold slowly.

Next month, the Kunpeng version will be launched!
By then, the performance of the Kunpeng version will soar, and the price will increase by several hundred yuan!

Electronic products have always been getting cheaper as they sell. It would be strange if a company like Xingyi Technology were to sell them at higher and higher prices.

But Wang Yi is confident.

There is no other reason. For example, the current Xingyi mobile phone has no rivals at all. After upgrading to the Kunpeng processor, the performance can be further improved, so the price can naturally continue to increase.

On the contrary, only when the product is rubbish will they be forced to slash prices crazily, continuously, or even replace the product every six months.

For example, the third generation of iPad was completely defeated by the Xingyi tablet and its lifespan was only half a year, so they had to release the fourth generation in an attempt to turn the situation around!
Not surprisingly, the Double Eleven promotion was a great success.

In addition, Xingyi Technology’s big promotion was not a fake promotion that first raised prices and then gave discounts, but a real promotion at the original price, which naturally drove the majority of users crazy.

Some choose to shop online, some go directly to nearby stores, and some place orders online and pick up the goods offline, or have Ele.me riders deliver the goods to their door...

Focus on multi-faceted services.

Whether it was Mayu Zhenyou’s clothing and cosmetics, or Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs, everyone immediately placed orders.

Everyone knows that the Double Eleven promotion offers the lowest prices this year. Once the event is over and the prices return to their original values, you’ll have to wait until after the New Year to get such a good price again.

As for Double Twelve?
The concept of Double 12 did not exist last year. This year, regardless of whether Alibaba does Double 12 or not, Wang Yi will launch the Double 12 event!
Previously, all the servers were rented and could not handle the traffic of 618 and Double Eleven. There was nothing we could do about it.

Now that our own data centers are in use and we have sufficient server resources, we naturally have to participate more.

After all, the Double Eleven event every year is a carnival for buyers, a carnival for sellers, and a harvest feast for the platform!

The trading volume and profits in these ten days alone can exceed those in the previous two or three months!

Wang Yi won't miss it.

Not surprisingly, Xingyi Technology’s Double Eleven event was very successful.

One after another, good news continued to come out:
【Within 30 seconds of the Double 11 promotion, Xingyi Mall’s sales exceeded 100 million. 】

【One minute after the Double 11 promotion started, Mayu Mall’s sales exceeded 100 million. 】

[Double 11 promotion started in three minutes and fifty seconds, JD.com platform sales exceeded 100 million]

【Double 11 promotion started four minutes and twenty seconds ago, Tmall platform sales exceeded 100 million】

【Five minutes after the Double 3 promotion started, Xingyi Mall’s sales exceeded million! 】

……

Seeing these good news, the marketing department was stunned, and the people in Xingyi Cloud Data Center were also stunned.

Even the provincial and municipal leaders who came to inspect with Wang Yi were stunned.

It's so fast!
The revenue is too high!
It’s incredible!
You should know that Xingyi Technology’s calculation method is not based on the locked order amount, but on the actual payment amount!

These are all real sales!
The leaders couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Director Wang, if this continues, during the Double Eleven period, Xingyi Technology alone will be able to achieve sales of over 10 billion, right?"

Wang Yi nodded: "200 billion is no problem, 300 billion is no problem. With Mayu's help, we have the hope of reaching billion!"

"Meiyu can also sell 10 billion in ten days? Awesome, really awesome!" The leader was in a good mood.

Mayu Technology is a Jeju company. Jeju really has a giant!

"Meiyu and Zhenyu have a ten-day promotion of over 10 billion yuan, so there is no pressure." Wang Yi said with a smile.

After all, Mayu's average order value is very high, and its customer base is a group of female users with strong purchasing power. Whenever there is a big promotion, they will go all out and spend like crazy.

There is also Zhenyou's high-end series, the average customer spending is even more expensive, all over one thousand, some even two to three thousand, or even four to five thousand.

Now that the 30% discount promotion for purchases over 1,000 yuan has been launched, the original users of Mayu have started to cross-level consumption and buy Zhenyou.

After all, a Zhenyou that costs one thousand yuan at a 30% discount is only seven hundred yuan, which is the price range of Meiyu.

Once consumption habits are established, it is difficult to bring them down.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go back from luxury to frugality.

For a time, Mayu's clothing, cosmetics, and Xingyi Technology's electronic products were all hot-selling.

Wang Yi smiled and said, “Meiyou’s revenue has exceeded 10 billion, thanks to Director Hong and other leaders who provided us with all kinds of support when we were first established.”

Hearing this, several leaders looked at Director Hong with more appreciation.

Even the top leaders couldn't help but sigh: "Director Hong did a great job. We have one more star enterprise, a clothing giant, which has boosted employment and created GDP!"

"The leader has praised me too much. It is my duty."

Director Hong was in a good mood. Wang Yi was a very capable guy.

It’s worth it to strive for resources for Mayu Technology.

After seeing off several leaders, Wang Yi decisively said, "Quick, send out all the good news!"

"Yes!"

Soon, news started to spread all over the Internet:
[Double Eleven promotion, in 30 seconds, Xingyi Mall's sales exceeded 100 million. 】

[In ten minutes, Mayu Mall’s sales exceeded 200 million]

[In half an hour, Xingyi Mall’s sales exceeded 10 billion! ]

[In one hour, online omni-channel sales exceeded 30 billion! ]

Immediately, the entire Internet was boiling!
"Awesome, so awesome, sales exceeded 30 billion in one hour, unbeatable, really unbeatable!"

"This is crazy, this is all crazy. At this rate, the product will be sold out before the 11th!"

"Isn't it just a few hundred yuan price cut? Why are you rushing to buy it? How can you be so ambitious?"

"That's right, if you guys can buy all the colors and configurations I like, what should I buy?"

"The guy above me is a 6th-year-old. I bought it first to show my respect. I finally saw the price drop."

……

For a time, fans who liked Xingyi Technology decisively joined the rush to buy and started buying.

Those haters who were hostile to Xingyi Technology were also shocked by the strength of Xingyi Technology. They couldn't help but open the JD APP and start browsing.

While browsing, I complained: "Damn! Xphone 2 sold so many units, five million more than iPhone 5."

"Damn, isn't it just that it looks better than iPhone 5, has more RAM than iPhone 5, has a more advanced processor, has a better camera, has a bigger battery, and charges faster than iPhone 5? What's so great about that!"

"How about I buy one and try it out?"

While cursing, the man placed an order for an Xphone 2.

And he consoled himself by saying, "Just wait, if it doesn't work, I'll give a bad review, return the product, and hate it forever!"

I just said this, but I had a lot more expectations for Xphone 2 in my heart.

However, there is not just one person but a group of people who are so stubborn.

When everyone around you is talking about the iPhone, you will buy one too.

When everyone around you is using a Xingyi phone, you will buy one too.

As a social animal, humans are no exception.

Wang Yi looked at the skyrocketing transaction volume in the background, looked at Du Lun, the person in charge of Xingyi Cloud Data Center, and asked:
"How is it? Traffic has skyrocketed during the Double Eleven event. Is our cloud data center under no pressure?"

"Chairman, there is no pressure at all. Even if it becomes five times more popular, there is no pressure!"

"Very good." Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction: "During this Double Eleven period, you guys should work hard. After it's over, I will arrange for you to take paid leave in rotation."

"Thank you, Chairman." Duren was in a good mood.

Since the delivery of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center, everyone in the department has not had a single day off.

In the early stage, we were busy installing and debugging the server, and in the later stage, we were busy migrating data.

After finally finishing everything and getting everything back on track, it’s time to start the first big battle, preparing for the Double Eleven event!

This made Duren and others very busy, but fortunately they got through it soon and could take turns to take leave.

The future is bright.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yi changed the subject: "When your rest period is over, it's time to prepare for the Double 12 promotion."

Duren's mouth twitched: "..."

who am I?
where am I?
It's true that before one wave subsides, another wave comes to attack...

"Chairman, after Double 12, it should be over, right?" Duren couldn't help but ask.

Wang Yi nodded: "Sure, after all, there is still some time before the New Year Goods Festival."

Duren was numb: "!!!"

Double Eleven!

Double twelve!
New Year Goods Festival!
Tired, destroy it!

Looking at Duren who was feeling hopeless, Wang Yi patted him on the shoulder:

"Your department will have to work harder these few months, but the income will be very high. As long as you do a good job and don't make any mistakes, you can get twice the performance bonus! In four months, plus high performance and year-end bonuses, you can earn eight months' salary!"

"Earning eight months' worth of money in four months?" Duren's originally dim eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he stood up:

"You all heard it, didn't you? Our department was established late, so we shouldn't get a few months' income, and there's no year-end bonus. But now Director Wang said that if we work hard for four months, as long as we do a good job, we can hopefully get eight months' income! Let's all work harder, and don't make any problems!"

"Roger that!"

“The chairman is awesome!”

Everyone spoke up, their fighting spirit high.

If the treatment is right, it's not a bad idea to be a beast of burden.

Chinese people have always been the most hardworking, hard-working and striving race, and the only people they resist are unscrupulous capitalists.

As long as I can get eight months' salary in four months, it doesn't matter if I have to work overtime!
Looking at this scene, Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then left with Song Si Ning:

"Si Ning, I'll leave the follow-up matters to you. This is our first Double Eleven, and there must be no problems."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it myself." Song Si Ning said with a smile.

"Okay, I have to go to the airport and fly to the Magic City. I have a lot to do this time, so I'll have to stay a few more days."

"Well, have a nice trip."

Song Sining waved and watched Wang Yi get into the car and leave.

night.

Wang Yi was staying in the presidential suite in Shanghai and saw Mr. Hu who had been busy all day. He said, "Thank you for your hard work today."

Mr. Hu waved his hands, his face showing uncontrollable excitement:
"It's not hard at all. This time the situation was urgent and we couldn't book an early flight, so we took the earliest high-speed train to Shanghai. After a day of inspection, we found that there was no problem with SMIC's 12-inch wafer fab in Shanghai. All the equipment is first-class and can be directly used for 40-nanometer process after debugging."

"Then I feel relieved." Wang Yi was in a good mood: "Now, our chip production capacity crisis has been initially resolved."

"Yes, after signing the contract tomorrow, we will hand over, debug, and start mass production as soon as possible!" Mr. Hu already had a plan:
"I have arranged all the people. One group arrived today, and another group will arrive tomorrow. The Imperial Capital is already on track, so I will be in charge of the Magic Capital from now on."

"Okay, I'll leave all of this to you." Wang Yi said with a smile, "We've solved the chip mass production problem, and the only thing left is wafer packaging and testing!"

Semiconductors are mainly divided into three areas: chip design, chip mass production, and chip packaging and testing.

Chip design, by incorporating part of the Texas Instruments team, Xingyi Semiconductor has successfully achieved the research and development and design of 40-nanometer mobile phone chips, becoming one of the first-tier companies.

As for the mass production of chips, with the participation of Mr. Hu and many professional talents, the mass production of 40-nanometer process has been achieved.

Now there is only one last piece left, packaging and testing!

Mr. Hu said: "Fortunately, packaging and testing is much simpler than chip design and chip production, and the investment is much less."

"In order to facilitate process testing and wafer packaging and testing, I built a small packaging and testing workshop at the Xingyi wafer factory in the imperial capital, which can realize small-scale packaging and testing."

"And we have already arranged a group of people to develop packaging and testing technology."

"In addition, 40-nanometer packaging and testing does not require much technical content. It is more than ten times simpler than chip mass production and has already been successfully developed."

"Previously, all the chips that were taped out were packaged and tested in the small packaging and testing workshop of Xingyi Wafer Factory, which greatly improved efficiency."

"But that packaging and testing workshop is very small, and large-scale packaging and testing is simply not realistic."

"Therefore, Kunpeng 702 has been mass-produced in the Imperial Capital Fab, and we have to find a third-party packaging and testing factory to carry out packaging and testing. Chairman, we must make plans early and don't delay the process."

"And TSMC's mass-produced basebands also have to be handed over to third parties for packaging and testing." Wang Yi waved his hand: "Mr. Hu, looking for a third-party packaging and testing factory is a bad idea. It is not conducive to the confidentiality of our subsequent chips!"

What Wang Yi wants is that the Kunpeng chips have been mass-produced, but foreign countries are in the dark and know nothing about it.

It wasn’t until it was launched on the market that I was completely stunned!
This is the effect you want.

Therefore, from chip research and development and design, to wafer mass production, to packaging and testing, we are fully self-reliant!

Only in this way can confidentiality be maintained to the greatest extent possible.

"Mr. Wang, do you want to acquire a packaging and testing factory?" Mr. Hu understood Wang Yi's plan.

"That's right, Mr. Hu. Is the sealing and testing technology you developed considered advanced? Is it mature? Can it be promoted on a large scale?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. The people who developed the packaging and testing technology were all brought back by me. They are all top international talents. The 40-nanometer packaging and testing technology they developed is very advanced and mature, and can be promoted on a large scale!"

"That's perfect. In this way, Mr. Hu will arrange for someone to go to ASE to negotiate, and we will acquire ASE's Magic City Packaging and Testing Plant!"

The chips have started mass production, but Wang Yi has not yet made arrangements to contact downstream packaging and testing factories, which means he has already planned it.

That is, instead of looking for a third-party packaging and testing company, directly acquire a packaging and testing factory.

And ASE's Shanghai packaging and testing plant is Wang Yi's target.

It is also a major project of Wang Yi’s trip to the Magic City!

"Sun and Moonlight!" Hu Lao's eyes lit up:
"In 1984, the Zhang brothers in Taiwan founded ASE, which was listed in Taiwan and the United States. It has grown rapidly and become one of the world's top semiconductor service providers and a top-notch packaging and testing giant."

"On the mainland alone, ASE has four major packaging and testing plants, but I'm worried that they are unwilling to sell!"

Wang Yi, however, did not care: "They will sell it. The current production capacity of the four major packaging and testing factories is not fully utilized. In other words, the production capacity of at least one factory is idle, causing huge losses to ASE. As long as I give the right price, they will be willing to sell it."

Wang Yi remembers that more than ten years later, Wisdom Road Capital acquired ASE's four major packaging and testing plants and related businesses in the mainland for US$14.6 billion.

To put it bluntly, the technical content of a packaging and testing plant is far lower than that of a wafer fab, and it has many competitors. It can only continue to make profits if it has enough orders.

But it is obvious that at present, upstream wafer fabs such as SMIC do not have enough orders, not to mention the four downstream packaging and testing fabs of ASE located in the mainland, which are naturally even more hungry.

In addition, a large number of domestic packaging and testing factories have emerged, offering lower prices and similar services, and have snatched a large number of orders.

As a result, ASE's mainland business performance was poor, resulting in a decline in revenue and stock price. It is natural that selling one would make the financial report look better and thus raise the stock price.

Mr. Hu understood all this: "The acquisition is indeed possible, but I'm afraid the price will be high. According to the current market price, ASE's Shanghai packaging and testing plant is worth 15 billion, but they will definitely not sell it even if I give them 15 billion!"

"It doesn't matter if we spend more. We'll trade money for time. We'll first take over ASE's Shanghai packaging and testing plant to package the Kunpeng 702 and Pterosaur 3000 basebands. At the same time, we'll build another packaging and testing plant in the imperial capital."

According to Wang Yi's plan, in the future, the Magic City Packaging and Testing Plant will be responsible for packaging the chips of the Magic City Wafer Factory.

The Didu Packaging and Testing Plant is responsible for packaging and testing the chips of the Didu Wafer Fab.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go to ASE to discuss the acquisition." Mr. Hu responded.

Early the next morning.

Wang Yi, Mr. Hu and others came to SMIC's 12-inch wafer factory in Shanghai.

Zhang Wen, Chairman of SMIC, personally received Wang Yi:
"Mr. Wang, welcome to Zhongxin Magic City. No, from now on it will be Xingyi Magic City."

As he spoke, Zhang Wen's expression became complicated.

If SMIC had worked hard and mastered the 40nm process, it would not have handed over such an advanced wafer factory to others.

But unfortunately, SMIC is not living up to its expectations.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your willingness to give up. Don't worry, we will arrange the transfer immediately after the signing of the contract. If there are any subsequent cooperation opportunities, we will definitely give priority to SMIC." Wang Yi spoke sincerely.

Originally, Wang Yi planned to invest a little in SMIC.

However, Wang Yi was extremely disappointed when he saw that the three factions within SMIC were confronting each other, not focusing on process technology, but only thinking about fighting for power, and the company's development direction was changing every day.

Only then did they give up the idea of ​​supporting SMIC and instead decided to build their own Xingyi Semiconductor!

The facts show that this is absolutely correct!
SMIC is a piece of lumps of mud. If it wants to get on the wall, it will have to spend several years solving its internal problems first.

But now Xingyi Semiconductor is developing rapidly.

In addition to the three mobile phone SOC R&D teams of Williams, George, and Zhang Chao, and the baseband R&D team of Pang Liguo, the chip R&D department also has a comprehensive chip R&D department.

The comprehensive chip R&D department is mainly responsible for developing small chips with special functions.

For example, the second-generation fast charging chip, the second-generation router chip, the second-generation smart home chip, the WiFi chip...

There are also some lower-end small chips that don’t even need 40 nanometers. 55 nanometers are enough, or even 65 nanometers will do.

Cost comes first.

However, Xingyi Wafer Factory will not produce these low-end small chips by itself, and can completely outsource them to SMIC.

Zhang Wen was delighted: "Boss Wang, that's great! Let's cooperate more in the future!"

"That's no problem. We just happen to have a HiFi chip that needs to be outsourced. It uses a 55-nanometer process. We'll hand it over to SMIC and start with mass production of million units!"

This hifi chip was developed by the integrated chip department and will be used in next year's second-generation xbuds and Xiao Ai Speaker Pro.

In addition, competition in mobile phones, tablets, and televisions will be even more intense next year.

By then, independent HIFI chips will be standard for the entire series.

Therefore, 200 million pills, that many products, can be consumed in one year, and it may not even be enough.

More importantly, HIFI chips also have economies of scale.

The price is 30 yuan per piece. With 1 million pieces produced, the diluted cost, even if it is outsourced to a third party, is only yuan.

However, 55 nanometers is enough for such a small chip, and Xingyi Semiconductor is too lazy to develop 55 nanometer technology and directly outsources the manufacturing to SMIC.

It can also be regarded as support and compensation to SMIC.

"Thank you! Mr. Wang, thank you so much!" Zhang Wen excitedly shook Wang Yi's hand. He thought Wang Yi was just saying it out of politeness.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yi was serious and placed an order for 200 million chips.

Even if the gross profit is 3 cents per piece, 6000 million pieces would mean a profit of million!

Wang Yi acquired SMIC's most advanced wafer factory. Zhang Wen was originally somewhat resentful, but now he just thinks that the other party is handsome.

I just felt that the other party was a bit friendly, a financial sponsor.

Just a few words brought in 60 million in net profit!

This is a huge sum of money for SMIC, which has been making losses every year.

What's more, this is just the beginning. Given the size of Xingyi Technology, 200 million chips are simply not enough, not even 200 million chips a year.

After all, the annual sales of the two flagship mobile phones alone add up to hundreds of millions.

What's more, there are tablets, Xiao Ai speakers, Xingyi TVs, etc., 300 million units a year is possible.

It can be said that the foundry of hifi chips alone can bring SMIC a profit of 90 million yuan, 90 million yuan every year.

What’s more, Xingyi Smart Home has so many products, and there will be other 55-nanometer small chips...

It's all profit.

Zhang Wen understood that Xingyi Semiconductor did not intend to waste resources on low-end technology such as 55 nanometers, so it was just right for SMIC to take over!
All are happy.

"Mr. Wang, I can't ignore your support for SMIC. So, the 55-nanometer HIFI chip, with a volume of 7 million, costs 1 cents, the market price is 3 yuan, and the profit is cents. I'll give you a % discount, cents!"

"Good!" Wang Yi admired Mr. Zhang very much.

Even though it is only one cent cheaper, it means that SMIC's profit margin has dropped from 30% to 20%!

One third less.

In this way, all subsequent small chips will be 55 nanometers and will be outsourced to SMIC.

Afterwards, everyone came inside the wafer factory.

"Mr. Wang, please come in. This is SMIC's 12-inch wafer fab in Shanghai. It has a monthly production capacity of 2.5 wafers. All the equipment is new and is inside. The workers are also here for you."

Zhang Wen said enthusiastically: "Send someone to check it first. After confirming that everything is correct, we can sign the contract."

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "No need. I trust Mr. Zhang!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Zhang Wen was in a good mood.

Since Mr. Zhou personally promoted this project, he would not dare to hinder it even if he had ten guts.

Unless SMIC doesn't want to stay in Shanghai anymore.

Although the 12-inch wafer fab in Shanghai was sold to Xingyi Technology, SMIC still has several 8-inch wafer fabs in Shanghai.

Afterwards, both parties confirmed that the contract was correct and formally signed the contract.

Not only did it sign a contract to acquire a wafer fab, it also signed a contract to manufacture 200 million hifi chips.

The trip was a complete success and everyone was happy.

Finally, Zhang Wen hesitated to speak.

Wang Yi laughed in silence: "Boss Zhang, just say what you want to say. There's no need for us to be so formal."

"Okay, then I'll say it shamelessly." Zhang Wen sighed:
"It's like this. We were planning to introduce IBM's 45-nanometer technology before, but the deal never came together. Now Xingyi Semiconductor has developed its own 40-nanometer process... I want to ask, Mr. Wang, are you considering licensing your 40-nanometer technology to others?"

"To be honest, we are going to build a new plant in Shanghai that can produce 7.5 wafers a month, and we want to introduce your 45-nanometer technology."

Wang Yi pounded on the table, having anticipated this:
"Mr. Zhang, we are not considering licensing our 40-nanometer technology to other companies for the time being. We'll see in two years."

Wang Yi’s meaning is very clear. In the past two years, 40 nanometers is still considered a high-end technology and is very valuable. Of course, it cannot be sold casually!

As for two years later, I am afraid that 20 nanometers will have been developed, and 40 nanometers will be a low-end process by then, and it will not matter whether it can be sold or not.

Semiconductor upgrades are so rapid.

"Two years later? Okay." Director Zhang smiled.

SMIC plans to build a new 12-inch wafer factory in Shanghai. There is no plan yet. It will be a large-scale wafer factory and it will take two years to build it all.

If there are any more problems with funding, it will take three years to resolve.

Three years later, purchasing Xingyi Semiconductor's technology seemed just right.

Wang Yi sighed, "Mr. Zhang, let me say one more thing. The best technology is still self-developed. Isn't SMIC in a mess right now? Then shift your attention to developing high-end technology."

"The best way to change internal conflicts is to shift the target and unite against the outside world."

Listening to Wang Yi's meaningful words, Director Zhang suddenly had an epiphany:
"Mr. Wang, do you mean to treat Xingyi Semiconductor as an imaginary enemy, so that everyone in SMIC will have a huge sense of crisis, and thus divert the current situation of the internal fighting among the three factions and focus on developing technology to fight against Xingyi Semiconductor?"

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "You can do this."

There will definitely be blockades, embargoes and suppression in the future.

One Xingyi Semiconductor is not enough. It would be a good thing if SMIC could also grow.

Even if we completely decouple, we can still be self-reliant.

Moreover, with the presence of SMIC, a lot of pressure can be relieved for Xingyi Semiconductor.

one stone two bird.

Director Zhang didn't know what Wang Yi was thinking, and he was in awe:
"Mr. Wang, you are really broad-minded and upright. Strictly speaking, SMIC and Xingyi Semiconductor will be competitors in the future. Not only do you not think about how to suppress us, but you support us in various ways. I admire you. Thank you."

Wang Yi laughed dumbly: "..."

High moral character?

Suppress?

He doesn't take SMIC seriously at all, so how could he suppress it?
He had no choice but to say: "Semiconductors are very important, and domestic semiconductors are at a disadvantage. We should unite as one and face the outside world in a unified way."

"Yes, Mr. Wang, that's a good idea. I'm the host today, so we must drink a few more glasses!" Mr. Zhang said enthusiastically.

Wang Yi waved his hand quickly: "This matter is not urgent, I still have to meet with the leader."

"Yes, yes, this is important." Director Zhang suddenly realized: "The contract has been signed. From now on, the Magic City Fab will be yours. I won't bother you anymore."

"Take care, Mr. Zhang."

"Please stay, Mr. Wang."

Director Zhang took another look at the Magic City Wafer Factory and left with a complicated expression.

We have made up our minds to hold a high-level meeting in a while to carry out comprehensive reforms, abandoning the past practice of introducing European and American technology and switching to comprehensive self-research!
Isn’t it just a 45-nanometer process?
If IBM doesn’t want to sell it at a low price, we will develop it ourselves!

Xingyi Semiconductor can develop 40 nanometer technology, but we can’t develop 45 nanometer technology?

It can be said that this incident completely changed Mr. Zhang.

Wang Yi's advice also made Mr. Zhang understand that self-research is the only way out. Using other people's technology will only lead to obstacles everywhere and be controlled by others.

Wang Yi could not have imagined that his words would put SMIC on the path of reform and rise ahead of schedule.

As for whether the rise of SMIC will threaten Xingyi Semiconductor?

Wang Yi was not worried at all. After all, SMIC's 45nm was still a long way off, and Xingyi Semiconductor had already started research and development of 28nm!
With Mr. Hu, a great figure who broke the 20-nanometer curse in the semiconductor industry, 28 nanometers is easy and 20 nanometers is not difficult either.

Mr. Hu said it could be done in a year, but Wang Yi felt that was a conservative estimate.

Maybe within half a year, the yield rate of Xingyi Semiconductor's 28nm process will reach to percent.

Mr. Hu has always been very steady and demanding in his work. In his opinion, any yield rate of less than 85% is considered a failure!

In fact, for a new process, an 80% yield rate is very good.

If this is the case, the second and third phases of the Imperial Capital wafer factory expansion project will be delivered by the middle of next year and can directly use 28nm technology!

By then, next summer’s Kunpeng 906 and Kunpeng 905 will be able to achieve self-developed and self-produced 28nm chips!
The xphone 3 will be released in September next year, equipped with Kunpeng 906, which will suppress the iPhone 5S.

By the way, it beat Snapdragon 805 half a year in advance, forcing Snapdragon 810 to continue to fail!
