In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 110 108
No one came on stage again.

Unless someone thinks he is more powerful than He Kun.

"He Kun knows so much about the factory situation..."

Du Qihang sighed silently and turned to look at He Kun.

He really didn't know that He Kun was so familiar with the problems of Factory 14 and had already come up with a perfect solution.

If He Kun had reported this to the Instrumentation Bureau earlier, perhaps the shockingly low quality of high-end integrated circuit production at Factory 14 would have been resolved long ago?
"Humph! He's bragging now, but I wonder how he'll end up failing to live up to his promise!"

Cao Zhong snorted coldly, "80. Even if we replace the particle implanter, the production capacity will not increase much. We still have to solve the quality problem."

Du Qihang glanced at Cao Zhong and said nothing.

It seems that He Kun had proposed this plan to Cao Zhong before.

"This campaign is still not well prepared. With such conditions, people have no desire to compete with him."

Seeing Zhu Zhihe's desperate face, Jiang Pengfei no longer wanted to compete for the position of factory director and sighed silently.

He Kun's understanding of the production workshop and the solutions he proposed made Zhu Zhihe unable to cope with them.

If someone dares to say it in public, it is impossible that he does it just for the sake of verbal advantage.

"I thought I would have to go through a few more rounds of competition. This is good, I can go back earlier."

Yu Guofeng didn't have a very deep impression of He Kun.

The solution proposed by He Kun does not conflict with the solution proposed by Xie Wei.

Xie Wei improves the yield rate from the perspective of technology and process; He Kun, who is more familiar with production, improves the yield rate from the perspective of equipment.

By taking both approaches, perhaps we can achieve greater improvement.

"Anyone else? If you don't want to run for factory director, you can run for other positions..."

When Wu Tao saw that no one came up on stage, he glanced around the auditorium and began to speak.

No one answered, and no one stood up.

"Since no one is running for election, let's not waste time. We will arrange for the leaders at all levels of the factory as soon as possible. Let's adjourn the meeting."

In front of the leaders of the municipal government, the Seventh Industrial Bureau, the Instrumentation Bureau and other organizations, this election was a failure, but Wu Tao didn't care.

Just select the people.

After seeing off many leaders, Wu Tao, Yu Guofeng, Qin Qiuhua and He Kun entered the small conference room next to the factory director's office.

"Director He, except for the Party branch secretary and the head of the finance department, who will be appointed by the school, you will be in charge of all other leading cadres. We hope that the factory can start production as soon as possible..."

Yu Guofeng went straight to the point.

He has been in the Shanghai Stock Exchange for quite some time.

"Director Yu, don't worry, we will start organizing production this afternoon... I want to ask about the 80 yuan equipment purchase payment I mentioned..."

He Kun still has no idea.

The whole process was like a dream.

Production is not a problem for him. The problem lies in whether he can really get the funds and whether the higher authorities can really delegate power to him.

"A remittance of 50 will arrive in the next few days. You can use part of it to replace key equipment."

Wu Tao thought about it and spoke.

The original 70 was intended to be used for production, but...

"Originally, the school did not expect the factory's production line to be in such a state, and no one asked to upgrade the production line. The 80 yuan technical upgrade fee will have to wait until I go back to find the leader."

The expectation on He Kun's face disappeared visibly.

"Director He, 80 is a huge sum of money for other units, but it is not much for the school-enterprise office. As long as you perform well in the small-batch production of chips this time, the school will invest more than the 14 you asked for in the technology upgrade of Factory 80."

Yu Guofeng reminded He Kun.

"This time we used new technology and new materials. Before, everyone in the production workshop didn't care about the quality. If the quality control of the production process is stricter, the quality should be greatly improved."

Tan Qiuhua also spoke.

Previously, it was a planned order, and we only had to complete the delivery quantity according to the requirements of our superiors, and costs were hardly considered during the production process.

It is different now.

"Costs are reduced and benefits are improved. In addition to the funds for new production lines and advanced equipment, the factory can retain 20% of the profits for the welfare of cadres and employees, such as allocating housing, etc...."

Wu Tao told He Kun all the plans that Xie Wei had given him on how to motivate production.

He Kun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This means that the School-Enterprise Office will give him, as the factory director, very great power.

"By the way, the deputy factory director can be Comrade Zhu Zhihe, who was the deputy factory director in another factory... As for the heads of other workshops and departments, you can make your own arrangements..."

Wu Tao also didn't know whether He Kun was suitable for the development of Factory 14.

He felt that He Kun was at least more suitable than himself.

As for all the leading cadres in the factory, He Kun was allowed to promote them himself. Only the head of the finance department and the party branch secretary were arranged by the school. This already gave He Kun ample opportunities.

When Xie Wei first brought it up, Wu Tao felt that it was possible for the factory to escape the control of the School-Enterprise Office.

Xie Wei said with disdain, "Management and technology are separate in the factory. Technology is provided by the school, while management is a complete team. If, for the sake of balance, the factory director is assigned a deputy factory director who is not on good terms with him, do you think production quality and efficiency can be improved?"

It is better to use the people you arrange yourself.

After listening to this, He Kun did not rush to arrange the heads of various departments, but went to the workshop to arrange the production of HZ80 chips.

"The raw materials in the factory can produce about 20 chips based on the previously estimated 30% yield rate. Are these enough?"

Tan Qiuhua asked Yu Guofeng.

Although China can produce high-end chips similar to those produced abroad, the cost is much higher due to limitations in equipment, production processes, etc.

"So what if they are not enough? The school has a great demand for chips. For now, we just need to find out whether there are enough chips or not, and then we can consider improving the quality and reducing the cost."

Yu Guofeng was silent.

“Maybe there will be a surprise this time!”

Wu Tao smiled and said, "Didn't He Kun say that stricter control of the production process could also improve the yield rate?"

The two looked at him, neither saying a word.

They hope so too.

Can……

After He Kun came out of the small conference room, he went into the production workshop and asked someone to gather several managers and technical personnel above the level of section chief to hold a meeting in the workshop conference room.

"...That's the situation. As long as the performance is good, we can be like other factories with good performance, and every cadre and employee can also be allocated housing...Everyone supports me to be the factory director, let me be frank in advance, if anyone does not take quality seriously like before, don't blame me for being ruthless."

He Kun introduced to everyone the various welfare benefits that Wu Tao mentioned.

"Director, don't worry! Before, the higher-ups didn't take it seriously. Even if we put in more effort, nothing good would come of it..." "Now we are the masters of the factory! Before, we didn't feel like we were the masters of the factory."

"That bastard Cao Zhong, now that he has his own house, he doesn't care about the factory anymore..."

Everyone expressed their opinions at once.

He Kun looked at several workshop technicians and said, "This time, we are trial-producing a small batch of new products. We have selected experienced and capable personnel from each section to produce them. Technology and management are always keeping an eye on them! If we want the higher-ups to give us more funds for technology upgrades, we have to show our strength!"

Everyone agreed.

"Okay, go get ready."

He Kun didn't say any more nonsense.

The heads of each workshop and work section in the factory, as well as the front-line technicians, are all very familiar with each other, and there is no need to emphasize too much.

As for the matters of the heads of other departments in the factory, He Kun was not in a hurry.

Deputy Factory Director Zhu Zhihe can also arrange work, right?

He Kun became the director of Factory 14 in the morning, and began to organize capable personnel in the factory to produce HZ80 chips in the afternoon. Due to the use of new photolithography materials, Qin Qiuhua and other technical department personnel also went to the front-line production workshops to follow the entire process.

Different from previous production, this time the workshop leaders and technicians followed the trial production of new products almost throughout the entire process.

Everyone is much more serious than when they were still in the Instrument Bureau.

Can we get funding from our superiors to upgrade the production line? Can we have stronger technology, produce more products, make more profits, and let everyone get a house? The current production is very important.

When the packaging and testing were finally completed, not to mention Yu Guofeng and Wu Tao, even Qin Qiuhua was dumbfounded: based on a 20% yield rate, the materials left in the factory could produce about 34 qualified chips.

But at this moment, what is in front of them is more than 70 yuan!

This means that the yield rate has exceeded 40%!

"Li Miaosheng, are you sure that each piece has been carefully tested multiple times?"

Qin Qiuhua looked at the tester Li Miaosheng and asked seriously.

Even Yu Guofeng, who was standing next to him, couldn't believe that the yield rate would be improved so much.

"Mr. Qin, if you are worried, you can test it yourself. I couldn't believe the result at first, but I tested it many times in succession, and every one of these chips passed the test."

Li Miaosheng said with a bitter face.

He could understand Tan Qiuhua's feelings.

But it is hard to accept that one's own work results are questioned in this way.

"I'm not questioning you, but I can't believe this result..."

Qin Qiuhua also realized that his words were too hurtful, and hurriedly explained, "In the past, when producing such large-scale integrated circuits, it was exciting to have a yield rate of 3 or 4 percent."

"Mr. Qin, you can test it."

Li Miaosheng said to Qin Qiuhua, "I also thought that there was something wrong with the test equipment before, and I even asked several people to help with the test..."

The testing equipment used in the factory is very old.

The only way is to put the chips on the device one by one, use the device to connect the chip pins, and then test whether there are any problems with the chip circuit and whether parameters such as voltage and current are qualified.

"In the test before packaging, only a small number of them failed. After packaging, only 90 pieces were left, and now a total of 77 pieces are qualified. This is a huge difference from before."

Li Miaosheng's face was full of emotion.

He had been doing testing work at Factory 14 for several years and had never encountered such a high pass rate.

"It's a good thing that the pass rate has increased. Now the cost of each chip has been reduced to less than 1200, which is much lower than we expected... I just don't know if it's an accident or it can be stabilized."

Yu Guofeng's mind became more active.

The Department of Electronic Engineering and the Department of Computer Science helped Xie Wei complete the design of this universal chip. Yu Guofeng knew very well what Xie Wei was going to use this chip for.

If the pass rate is really improved, then we only need to design an instruction set circuit, or even integrate the instruction set circuit into the HZ80 chip in front of us, and add other functions, we can get a CPU with good performance!

"Boss Qin, now that the chips are produced, I have to take them back first. It would be best for you to resume production and find out the reason why the production quality has improved this time..."

The Chinese New Year is approaching.

Yu Guofeng knew that many projects in the school were waiting for chips, and he didn't plan to stay here for too long.

Wu Tao and his friends cannot go back to school now.

"Director He, have the factory organize another batch of production immediately!"

After sending Wu Tao away, Qin Qiuhua went straight to He Kun and said, "Let's continue with your previous production method..."

"Boss Qin, is there any problem?"

He Kun looked at Qin Qiuhua worriedly.

Although he was the factory director, he was originally only the deputy director of the workshop. As the Chinese New Year was just a few days away, the leading cadres of various departments in the factory had to be confirmed, otherwise there would be problems with production after the New Year.

"It's not that there is a problem. The pass rate of this trial production has exceeded 40%. On the one hand, we used new materials and processes, and on the other hand, you have been keeping an eye on the production process... If there is no problem, we can directly institutionalize quality control..."

“More than 40%?”

He Kun looked incredulous.

But looking at Qin Qiuhua's expression, he could only suppress his joy and accept it.

"There is no material left in the warehouse. The New Year is coming soon, and it may be difficult for suppliers to supply..."

"Come with me to the Instrumentation Bureau and get some from other factories."

······
"So much? All 70 spent?"

When Xie Wei saw Yu Guofeng take out a pile of thumbnail-sized chips, he asked in surprise.

The chip in front of us is relatively large, even smaller than the 71mm×4004mm size of the 4 chip released by Intel in 3, but it is domestically produced after all!

The worst that can happen is that it consumes more power and causes more trouble in heat dissipation.

At least you won't be at risk of being strangled at any time.

Once the errors are resolved, we can gradually improve the quality.

"How could that be possible! The factory had left behind a batch of materials worth 70 yuan. We spent more than 50 yuan on two months' wages, and also purchased a batch of New Year goods... The other yuan is still lying in the account..."

Yu Guofeng introduced the situation of Factory 14 to Xie Wei in detail.

Xie Wei was stunned upon hearing this.

"Is Wu Tao that guy so unreliable? He didn't even give me time to prepare for the election?"

“How can there be such a big difference after strict quality control in workshop production?”

Xie Wei really didn't expect that even though he explained it so clearly to Wu Tao, this guy was not responsible at all. He said the day before that he would run for election the next day. However, it was luck that counted for him: in such a short period of time, some people with not-so-good abilities but good interpersonal relationships were prevented from having any bad intentions.

You see, the yield rate has increased directly to more than 40%.

Although this is also due to the fact that we provide perfluoroalkyl compounds as photolithography materials, the entire factory management and technical personnel have been following the production and supervising the quality.
