A strong technological nation starts with repairing mobile phones

Chapter 146 Customized Silicon Wafer Production Equipment!
"Okay, let's choose La Prado! I'll ask Xiao Zhang to make an appointment with the other party's person in charge.

Mr. He, please come with me and talk to them then!"

Since he had chosen the two of them, Chen Jinghong would not doubt them. Now that they both proposed La Prado, Chen Jinghong naturally agreed.

"Okay!" He Hongfei was very happy to hear that Chen Jinghong agreed to his suggestion.

After talking about the topic of equipment, Chen Jinghong changed the subject and said to He Hongfei:

“According to the plan, the first phase of technology may not be officially completed until three months later, but time flies by so fast that we can start to build the Silicon Round Industry Team now.

I hope that we can start right away, instead of telling me that the team still needs to be adjusted, let alone that the team has not been formed yet! ”

"If we start hiring now, we may need to spend a few more months of salary as cost, which may cost tens or even hundreds of millions more!"

Ho Hongfei originally planned to observe China Construction's progress after two months and then formally start recruiting middle and low-level management.

Now Chen Jinghong suddenly asked to start immediately. Thinking of the extra salary he wanted to pay, he couldn't help but start to persuade him.

If it were another company, or considering the hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, the idea would naturally be to save some money, and it would not be too late to recruit people and set up the company two months later.

But the target is Chen Jinghong, so tens of millions is not a big deal for Jing Qing at the moment.

Even if the price increases two or three times, he won't take it seriously. Right now, time is everything to him.

"It doesn't matter. Recruit now and integrate the entire team. Don't be in a rush when the time comes and there will be a lot of problems from top to bottom!"

Since the boss said so, as an employee, He Hongfei could only nod and say that he would go back and start preparing immediately.

……

La Prado's response speed was beyond Chen Jinghong's expectations. He originally thought that it would take at least ten days to get a reply, but he didn't expect that the other party could not wait to contact Jing Qing the next day.

The agreed time is set three days later. If it is not to give both parties some preparation time, the other party may directly arrange to meet the next day.

After hearing Zhang Xiran's report, Chen Jinghong looked around and saw that there was nothing else important that day, so he nodded and agreed to let Zhang Xiran tell He Hongfei the time.

Unlike Chen Jinghong, La Prado was extremely excited after receiving the reply, and the senior management meeting lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening that day.

In the following two days, people kept speculating about Chen Jinghong's purpose and how to treat Chen Jinghong.

After much discussion, no conclusion was reached.

In fact, it is not the fault of the senior executives of La Prado. Their company's performance has declined severely in the past two years. Every year's annual report shows almost no profits, and is almost always in the red.

Seeing that their shares are about to be trapped in ST, who wouldn’t be nervous among those who hold shares?

Three days passed in a flash, and on that day, Chen Jinghong, He Hongfei and a group of seven or eight people drove to the other company.

Fortunately, the other company was not far away, otherwise they would have to change their means of transportation to plane.

The other company’s office area is the same as Jingqing’s. It is not located in the factory, but chooses to rent an office outside.

When they arrived at the other party's company, Chen Jinghong and others were first welcomed by the other party's senior management. Nearly ten minutes later, everyone came to the meeting room.

"Mr. Chen, I wonder what you are preparing for this trip?" CEO Lin Jia asked.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire office was almost frozen. Most people on the La Prado side hoped that Chen Jinghong would come for the purpose of acquisition.

They thought that if Jing Qing acquired Laprao, most of them would be able to cash out hundreds of millions in an instant, and it would be none of their business as to what would happen to the company afterwards.

Of course, the ones who will be happy at that time may be the shareholders behind the scenes, as they will get back all their investment in one go.

"We are here this time on behalf of Jingqing Microelectronics to customize a silicon wafer production equipment from your company!"

It was He Hongfei who answered Lin Jia's question.

When they heard that they were just here to customize the equipment, everyone in La Prado became discouraged, including Lin Jia.

However, he quickly adjusted his words. In fact, he didn't think that Jing Qing would suddenly choose to acquire Laprado. After all, it seemed that the other company had no intention of getting involved in this kind of equipment.

"Jingqing made the right choice by choosing us when purchasing silicon wafer production equipment. I can't say anything else about silicon wafer production furnaces, but there is no better one in China than us.

Several domestic silicon wafer manufacturers are our regular customers. For example, half of Tianyue Advanced's production lines were built by us!"

When talking about business, Lin Jia couldn't stop talking and kept bragging about how good his company's technology was and how wide its customer base was.

"Mr. Lin, let's not talk about this anymore. Since we chose Laprao, we are naturally very familiar with your company!" Seeing that the other party couldn't stop talking, He Hongfei hurriedly stopped Lin Jia, and then continued to speak his request.

“This time we are going to customize the largest 12-inch silicon wafer production line, and your company will be mainly responsible for the silicon ingot production furnace and other equipment.

The overall order budget is between 30 million and 100 million!
As our factory is currently under construction, we hope that your company will design and produce according to the parameters we provide, and install it as soon as possible. "

This is a big order! The budget can reach 100 million. The people who were originally disappointed became happy again. They originally thought that it would be good if the amount of an order could exceed 10 million, but they didn't expect it to exceed 100 million.

You should know that currently almost 90% of the company's orders are in the millions, and there are none of them in the tens of millions, as there are now in the hundreds of millions.

The finance department made some calculations and confirmed that there would be no loss this year.

After the business was confirmed, the two sides began to discuss equipment and other issues.

Chen Jinghong had already determined the required parameters with Chen Zhilong and others, and Jing Qing only needed to provide some key requirements and parameters.

As for other aspects, the design will generally be completed by Laprado, and only some more important aspects need to be re-determined by both parties.

This is also why Chen Jinghong chose to first build a silicon wafer line to accumulate experience, in order to learn from an experienced company.

At that time, He Jingqing will participate in all the communication and production between the two parties. He believes that after spending tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars on tuition fees, the team will at least have some experience.

In this way, when we can mass-produce silicon carbide, we won't have any experience at all when we start.

One company wanted to learn from experience, while the other had poor performance and naturally did not want to give up a rare big order. In this way, the two companies signed a letter of intent for cooperation in a friendly atmosphere.

As for the subsequent formal contract, it was not so fast.

……

As early as when Chen Jinghong acquired the land from Dapeng New District, there were rumors that Chen Jinghong was preparing to enter the semiconductor industry.

When news came out today that Chen Jinghong personally went to La Prado to meet Lin Jia, it was also reported internally that the two parties had signed an order for silicon wafer production equipment.

Now all the original suspicions were completely confirmed, and Chen Jinghong's ambition to enter the semiconductor industry was also exposed.

"I said that Chen Jinghong would not be satisfied with this and would definitely expand outward. From the fact that he founded Tiansheng Optics and then established Jingqing to start MCTL, we can see that Mr. Chen's ambition is bigger than the sky!"

"I support the above. Look, Google didn't really take any action, but just issued a notice. Jingqing immediately released the Tianqing system. This shows that Chen Jinghong has been developing the system for a long time."

"Chen Jinghong is too ambitious. His behavior now seems to want to take over the entire mobile phone industry. For example, he could have cooperated with Xia Wei on the system, but now he is redeveloping it himself. There are too many meaningless things!"

"I can tell at a glance that the person above has never used Tianqing. I suggest you update the Tianqing system, and you will understand how powerful Tianqing is and why there is no need to cooperate with Xia Wei!"

"I'm sorry, I use an iPhone and can't run such a powerful TianQing system!"

"..."

Perhaps the semiconductor traffic was almost used the last time to acquire land, and this time the ordering of silicon wafer production equipment did not cause much disturbance.

The number of views of videos posted by many bloggers has not even exceeded 10,000.

Of course, Chen Jinghong doesn't care about these things, and neither do his clients and foreign partners. After all, silicon wafers, which have matured to the point of having great market potential, can't make them feel the slightest bit of anxiety.

Unless Chen Jinghong suddenly announced that he was able to stably mass-produce large-size silicon carbide products with a pass rate of 99% and the cost reduced to a thousand yuan.

Then these people will probably pay crazy attention to Jingqing Microelectronics.

……

In BOE's newest factory, employees from Jingjingqing Company are working in an orderly manner.

A 100-inch MCTL production line and several small-size production lines will be built here. It will be the most important production base of BOE MCTL in the future, so both Lu Hanwei and BOE senior management attach great importance to it.

"Are you here to eat and do nothing? Area B agreed to test production on the first of next month, and now you tell me it's too late?" Lu Hanwei was shouting at a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Lu, this is really not our fault. It's mainly because the assembly physics department delivered the wrong parts, which caused us to lose three working days!" The other party also looked aggrieved at this time. Under normal circumstances, the time would be more than enough.

They never thought that the problem would arise in logistics. A key component did not arrive. It looks like they will have to stop work for at least three days.

He originally thought that his explanation would satisfy Lu Hanwei, but he did not expect to be met with even more violent curses.

"Don't make excuses when something goes wrong. Since you are the general manager of this line, you are responsible for everything from parts production to transportation, assembly and testing!"

Lu Hanwei looked very disappointed with the man, pointing at him and cursing:

"If you blame the parts factory for giving you the wrong materials now, will you blame the traffic jams in the future?
I want to ask you, did you send someone to the parts factory to confirm the material details before the car was shipped?"

The middle-aged man lowered his head and was scolded by Lu Hanwei. He didn't dare to move at this time. He kept refuting the other party's words in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

At this moment, Lu Hanwei's cell phone rang. Seeing the incoming call, Lu Hanwei stopped scolding.

"Okay, get out! Your performance will be cut in half for the next three months!"
