Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 621: Foreigners’ money is more profitable

I have to say, the treatment is different when you are invited here.

The canteen’s small stove cooked four main dishes, and the chef’s cooking skills were quite good, not inferior to those in restaurants outside.

At first glance, you can tell that she usually cooks for the factory leaders.

This chef is from Sichuan, and the dishes he cooks are a bit spicy.

Fortunately, he has eating habits.

tasty.

After lunch, Wang Qingsong said goodbye to Ma Hui and left the factory.

After coming out, I didn’t rush back, but went directly to Hong Kong Island.

Because of my work here, I usually go there at night and rarely during the day, except for occasionally on weekends.

……

Back in Hong Kong Island, I was in the garage of a building outside the factory.

For convenience, we bought a two-story building near the factory and built a huge yard.

It is for the convenience of parking trucks here in the future.

Drive out of the garage and head straight to the factory area.

In two years, the first phase of the industrial zone has been completed and green areas have been planted.

The second phase has also started, and this time, all the people employed are from our own construction company.

As for the remaining three phases, they will be constructed later.

The car drove into the factory smoothly.

I went directly to the previous circuit board workshop, but now the circuit board workshop has been moved to another building.

Now this building is entirely dedicated to mobile phone business.

To prevent the machine from malfunctioning.

Under his guidance, a new system was installed so that if there were any problems, we could switch to that system.

Li Siying is in charge of all the core things and no one else is allowed to interfere.

"Brother Xuan!"

Seeing him coming, Li Siying walked over with a smile: "How come you have time during the day today?"

"I came over after I finished my work, everything is fine!"

"Well, it's okay. There are some problems. I can fix them. I'll give you the things in a while!"

Wang Qingsong smiled and nodded: "Well, give me the things later, and I will pass the last question video to you!"

Now that Li Siying has access to computers, many things have become much easier.

If there is a problem with the equipment, Li Siying just needs to explain the situation and he will go to Yang Huaijin to find the corresponding video.

Now Li Siying is learning a lot of things besides equipment.

It’s just that due to work reasons, my learning progress is a bit slow.

This girl also worked very hard and didn't fool around.

Li Siying agreed with a smile, then found her tablet and transferred the information via Bluetooth.

Wang Qingsong walked around the building again before leaving with the list of questions given by Li Siying.

There's nothing much to see in the calculator workshop.

They are just a group of ordinary people welding according to the requirements. As long as they control the raw materials and don't lose them, other problems will not be big.

After taking a look, I went to the circuit board workshop.

At this time, Tang Xiuyuan and others were studying the contents on the control panel.

Seeing Wang Qingsong coming, he greeted him.

After asking about the factory's progress, Tang Xiuyuan said, "Mr. Li, there's news from the mainland that they hope to introduce a circuit board production line! Is that possible?"

Wang Qingsong thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay! But there is one thing! You can't let all your people run away!"

There were actually two purposes for building this factory.

One reason is to make money, and another reason is for experiments in the mainland.

Tang Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, it won't happen. We have been here for such a long time, and some people need to be rotated back. This time we are also telling you that we will rotate some people regularly in the future, and we will also ensure that your factory can operate normally!"

Wang Qingsong smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you can make your own arrangements. If you need any help, let me know."

The raw materials for circuit boards are too expensive except for copper clad laminates at this time.

The raw materials for the rest can be found in chemical plants.

Tang Xiuyuan hummed: "Not yet. If there is a need, we will tell you."

"it is good!"

Wang Qingsong agreed.

These people have been here for nearly half a year, and it's time for some of them to go back.

And some more people came in the middle.

As for the production line, he has now completely let it go.

As long as you control the equipment well and don't let others take it away and disassemble it for research, you don't have to worry about what these people may know.

Even if a real scientific research giant came, he would be at a loss.

There is no way. The big guys can’t understand these machine systems now.

After that, he asked about the production situation and then left for the research institute.

Now Spock has basically handed over the business affairs of Huake Semiconductor to the deputy manager, and he is in charge of the affairs of the research institute.

But he still goes to the company every day.

There are many bosses who are also R&D personnel.

Only when the research institute is on the right track will the boss no longer need to take charge.

Spock was writing and drawing on a huge blueprint.

When she saw him coming, she just smiled and greeted him, then went back to work.

Wang Qingsong watched there for a while.

Spock then looked up: "Boss, do you have something to talk to me about, or can you give me some new ideas?"

When the Hong Kong employees in the institute saw him coming, they naturally came over to serve as interpreters.

Wang Qingsong smiled when he heard this: "I don't have any! How is the prototype test going?"

One year has passed since he provided the information.

The equipment has been manufactured.

In other words, a set of lithography equipment was produced half a year ago.

However, this lithography machine has the common problems of lithography in this era.

That's the yield.

The main reason is naturally the service life of the photomask.

This is the ancient age of semiconductors.

Many software and hardware of later generations are not available in this era.

Unlike later designs using computers and EDA software, photomasks of this era were actually made by hand.

The first generation of engineers first drew the integrated circuit layout on graph paper using colored pencils.

Then use a fine blade to carve out the transistors and circuit connections little by little on the photomask master by hand.

Finally, use the master graphic and reduce it 50 to 100 times using the camera.

Only then can a photomask used for photolithography be used.

The natural match for this photomask is the contact lithography machine.

This type of lithography machine simply and crudely covers the photomask on the silicon wafer.

The mask coating is in direct contact with the photolithography machine coating, and then irradiated with light to complete the exposure.

However, this type of lighting has a high failure rate and high cost.

Because the colloid itself and the floating dust particles attached to it not only affect the effect, but also cause damage to the photomask.

Only one out of 10 chips can be used, and it will also accelerate the service life of the photomask.

The cost is quite high.

Later, according to the information he provided, a horizontally and vertically movable platform was added to the contact lithography machine.

and a microscope for measuring between the photomask and the wafer.

This solves the previous problem by keeping the two close yet not too close when burning.

That is, a proximity lithography machine.

However, this lithography machine solved the previous problem, but the accuracy decreased. So after these two products came out, he gave up directly.

It directly used the projection technology that was only introduced in 1974.

This thing is quite expensive and requires a lot of optical devices, all of which need to be imported from Japan.

Of course, this high cost is relative.

At this time, Wang Qingsong was thinking about if he could get out the computer and EDA software.

Then the cost of lithography will drop significantly.

You know, it takes a lot of time for an engineer to carve a photomask, even a simple one.

Then he pondered it for a while and shook his head.

Anyway, this kind of lithography machine is sold to foreign countries, so let them carve it by hand.

Moreover, he will not sell projection lithography machines to foreign countries for the time being.

This thing is not used in civilian use now. Its greatest use is in the military because a large number of chips are needed to develop missile systems.

This type of projection lithography machine was first introduced in 1974 and is also the main body of future lithography machines. Various advanced versions are upgraded based on this lithography machine.

Missile system?

Wang Qingsong thought of this and was pondering something.

I don't know if this thing is needed in the mainland!

While I was thinking, I heard Spock excitedly say: "Okay! The equipment is still in the experimental stage, but according to the test results so far, the qualified rate of finished products can be increased by 4 times! The cost can be reduced by 3.5 times. This may be a groundbreaking product."

Wang Qingsong smiled when he heard this.

This product is indeed a milestone product in the lithography machine market.

"Okay, but the proximity lithography machine still needs to be improved. When the time comes, we can set up a company and sell the products produced to other semiconductor companies."

Although the proximity method has its flaws, due to resolution issues it only supports processes above 3μm.

But in this day and age, that's enough.

The cost is also much lower than the contact type.

It may not be enough for military use, but it is fine for ordinary enterprises.

Even the proximity lithography machine and the supporting mask alignment technology have not yet been developed internationally.

Spock was confused when he heard this: "Since we have more advanced technology, why don't we launch it now? Why use this old technology?"

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "We are a company and we need to make a profit. No one is producing proximity lithography machines right now. This level of lithography machines is enough for the market now. When the time is right, we will launch new equipment! Isn't that better?"

Replace the equipment and make a lot of money! ”

He couldn't say that he didn't want Western lithography technology to develop too quickly.

And even if he really sells projection lithography machines in the future, he will not bring computers over.

Let them continue rubbing with their hands.

I also want to start a chip design and production company.

For example, Intel.

By then, your own company will use computers, while other companies will use manual labor, and the cost in between will be much higher.

Grab their necks.

Hearing this, Spock said, "My god, Boss, you know how to squeeze those companies!"

“Thank you for the compliment!”

Wang Qingsong also made a joke.

Then he said: "Don't stop the research and development of these two types of lithography machines, especially the projection type! I will look at the data in a few days."

Spock agreed upon hearing this.

"Okay, boss!"

Wang Qingsong thought for a moment and said, “By the way, let’s transfer an engineer from you. We will start researching home appliances and we will also produce them in the future!”

"Home appliances?"

Spock wondered.

Then he said worriedly: "There are a lot of people doing this in the home appliance industry now. Are you sure?"

The threshold for home appliances is relatively low.

There are also many companies doing this.

Wang Qingsong smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, just do it first. And don't underestimate home appliances. You have heard of electric rice cookers, right? It's an electric rice cooker! Take this for example, there are many tricks in it. I can't tell you too much at the moment."

With the development of science and technology, people's living standards have improved.

Various household appliances are very profitable.

And when the mainland opens up in the future, he will definitely get involved.

That definitely requires a comprehensive layout.

In later generations, even Philips, which is now an electronics giant, started out by making home appliances!

Gradually penetrate into other industries.

Moreover, the investment cost of this kind of home appliance will not be too high, as long as the laboratory can digest the products and technologies brought from later generations and improve them at the same time.

No matter what, we can make it bigger and stronger.

After hearing this, Spock thought about it and finally agreed.

There's nothing I can do about it, after all he's the boss!
He has to do whatever the boss wants.

Wang Qingsong nodded gently after hearing this: "That's it, I'll bring some information over in a few days."

I also asked about the mobile phone chips.

It is still under research. It can be made, but it is too big.

And it’s not up to the standard of the mobile phones sold by Wang Qingsong.

Including communication equipment needs to be developed, otherwise we can only play around in Hong Kong Island in the future.

Or wait until the mainland opens up.

I feel like this is such a loss.

He feels more comfortable making money from foreigners.

But this takes time.

The reason why Spock was able to develop so quickly was because of the technology he provided.

Some of them can even be said to be copied verbatim.

It would be incomprehensible if the progress was still very slow.

……

After strolling around the factory, I drove to the building where Du Wanting was.

The other party had already returned from Greece and the United States.

The two drugs I gave him have entered the clinical stage and are expected to be available on the market in about two years.

Valium, which was just launched on the market last year, was synthesized in 1959, and it took only more than three years to be launched on the market.

He has already directly given all the processes, so the time can naturally be greatly compressed.

The pharmaceutical factory has also begun construction, which is the Phase 2 project being built in the industrial zone.

Once this thing is on the market, it will be a real money-making beast.

At least he makes money faster than selling cell phones.

There is no way. The cost of current technological products is very high, and many things cannot be popularized.

Those who can afford mobile phones are either very wealthy people in Hong Kong or people who really need these things.

Ordinary people won’t buy it.

But it’s different with medicines, ordinary people can afford them.

There are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of patients around the world, which is really a huge number.

In particular, these two drugs are the first to treat the corresponding diseases.

I didn't go there directly, but went to the riverside to take a look first.

The former Wharf No. 1 Pier is currently under construction.

Mall.

He did not change the purpose of the land. The first thing he did after getting it was to find a professional design team and then design it based on the shopping mall he saw in later years.

We are planning to build the largest shopping mall in Hong Kong Island.

Construction is expected to take more than a year to be fully completed.

If this is built well, it will be a money-making machine in the future.
