Please make money.

Donghuang is now one of the two poles in the world. I dreamed of being able to defeat Donghuang in a head-on confrontation decades ago.

Well, it became their nightmare.

Although there are shortcomings in some industries, they are not fatal.

It would be better to say that if there were no shortcomings at all, then it wouldn't be one of the two extremes, and what would Unova have to do with it...

Arya adjusted the furry collar of her hood and exhaled to warm her hands.

"I am just an ordinary businessman. If I have to say, the government is also optimistic about the industry I am involved in now."

The semiconductor industry is the cornerstone of the future Internet information age.

Arya is just a stone mover, there is no need for so many conspiracy theories.

"When your parents disappeared - well, sorry, I mean... they also attached great importance to the chip semiconductor industry back then."

"……Ugh."

Ailia sighed speechlessly. She really couldn't get around this matter.

The skill of a hundred thousand year soul ring is invincible when used, and anyone with a moral bottom line will be kidnapped.

But Alia also needs to bear the burden of a hundred thousand year soul ring, such as her parents' last wish.

In the eyes of chip industry practitioners, Alia is a family of loyal martyrs.

"Shang Gong——"

Alia stopped and said, "I can tell you very clearly that I am not an official representative."

"Yeah, I know. I will use this expression in the future. I am not the kind of person who doesn't understand."

"...It's up to you. I won't force you to impose any requirements or conditions. This is a normal employment. The reason for these——"

She pointed to the list in the other party's hand and said, "It was mostly caused by the Guangliang chip scam in Handong. It can be regarded as a warning."

Shang Gong didn't dwell on this matter anymore. After confirming Alia's attitude, he scratched his head and started asking about the real business.

"how much money you have?"

"How much do you want?"

"I'll take as much as you have."

"You may not be able to use it all." Alia shook her head. "The first phase of investment of 50 billion has been basically completed. There should be a similar amount in the next quarter, 100 billion, to support the fancy shelf that Guangliang Chip boasted about in the beginning. How much is left after that depends on your ability."

Guangliang Group originally boasted that it would invest 1200 billion yuan to build four wafer fabs, ranging from 8 inches to 12 inches.

According to them, it will only take three years at most to achieve a monthly production capacity of no less than 8 80-inch wafers.

What is this concept?

Just like the simple cutting calculation before, a wafer can be cut into hundreds of chips.

Even if we use the pathetic yield rate of 8 chips cut into 100-inch pieces, a monthly production capacity of 80 pieces means 8000 million chips coming off the production line.

If it really has that strength, as long as the electronics sales department of the Ai Group is still alive and can secure the most core orders, it will still have absolute competitiveness.

The original plan of Guangliang Chip was really great. If it succeeded, it would make a comeback and become one of the top three in the world.

Things like Urban Dragon King and Ten Years of Being a Son-in-law are simply weak compared to this leapfrog development.

After Alia took over, instead of weakening the plan, she increased the stakes on it.

According to her plan, as long as the high-tech industrial park can be successfully put into production in three years, it will not be the third.

It is the second largest chip manufacturing capacity in the world...

Shang Gong didn't expect that Alia had such a big appetite, and he didn't expect that this huge appetite would be matched by a terrifying investment amount.

"Five hundred—billion?"

"Real money, no more, no less."

Alia did not put her eggs in other baskets, mainly because she currently did not have the ability to separate them.

Shang Gong's team is the most advanced and core chip mass production engineer team she can find at present.

They were like flames. Alia had prepared a huge amount of firewood, waiting for them to be ignited all at once.

"Moore's Law will fail, Shang Gong, you should know what I am talking about. The watershed is right in front of us, and this is the time to give it a try."

"...Ai-Dong." Although he was not used to using honorifics for a little girl, she had given him too much after all.

"Is Mr. Ai worried that the UMC incident will happen again?"

UMC announced its withdrawal from the 14nm process technology iteration two years ago, commonly known as "investment".

Some people may wonder why there are only a few high-end chip foundries in the world.

It was said that there were wild people feeding cat food to wild cats in the wild, so why are there no wild chip manufacturers?

The answer is that the others died along the way...

When talking about this matter, we have to mention the famous Moore's Law.

When prices remain constant, the number of components that can be accommodated on an integrated circuit will double every 18-24 months.

This means that every two years, the performance of the equipment will double.

The speed of progress of information technology is so terrifying that from 1992 to 2022, thirty years have created the glory of the information age.

Moore's Law was originally believed to be reliable for at least 50 years, and human technology would usher in an explosive leap.

But the fact is that human technology has its limits, and Moore's Law cannot continue forever.

In 2001, the chip manufacturing process was 130 nanometers.

The Pentium 3 processor that everyone used at that time was based on the 130-nanometer process.

2004 was the first year of 90 nanometers. That year, Pentium 4 adopted 90 nanometer process technology, and its performance was further improved.

At that time, there were many manufacturers that could achieve 90-nanometer manufacturing technology, such as Intel, Infineon, Texas Instruments, IBM, UMC and TSMC.

When did UMC fail? Of course it wasn't at the 90nm stage.

The answer is that it fell behind at the 22nm watershed and then fell at the 14nm threshold.

Back then, UMC and TSMC were known as the two giants of chip manufacturing, and the two foundries divided up 60% of the world's chip manufacturing share.

In this world line, UMC has just collapsed less than two years ago. Not to mention that the lesson is not far away, the cries of the defeated dog are still ringing in our ears.

Earlier, they weakly announced that they had given up on catching up with the 14nm process. After all, they were a world-class manufacturer, and they just gave up.

Alia is a time traveler. She sees further and knows that in another world line, the competition is more cruel and fierce.

UMC failed at 14nm, Intel failed at 10nm, and GlobalFoundries failed at 7nm.

In the early years, Intel's chip manufacturing process was the best in the world, and TSMC and Samsung followed behind and ate dust.

But after 10nm, Intel can only retreat to its basic base, and even its IDM strategy is just a stubborn bottom line.

Why does the United States want to win over TSMC even in the future?

It is because after 7nm, all the competitors at that time, including Samsung and GlobalFoundries, which provided chips for US Aerospace's cutting-edge manufacturing, were no longer able to succeed.

TSMC became the only foundry capable of guaranteeing 7nm yield and mass-producing 5nm at the time.

But how come there is only one player left in the industry?

This is not good, we need to roll it up! Roll our friends hard!

Alia is an unqualified capitalist. From the moment she was reincarnated, the blood of betrayal flows through her body.

She betrayed her job, which was all about making money, betrayed her business partners, and betrayed money, all just to be a small catfish.

Damn it, money can’t buy my happiness!

The purpose of spending 100 billion is certainly not to monopolize the industry, but to get a foothold in the industry under the premise of the upcoming "technological monopoly".

This business is not profitable, at least there will be no direct benefits in the foreseeable long term.

But Alia had a reason to intervene, and that was her parents' last wish.

Alia said the same thing even to her friends inside, I just did it to save face.

My parents passed away before they could even start their business. Isn't it time for me to use the remaining energy of two lifetimes to continue to push the industry forward?

In Shang Gong's opinion, this is probably one of the reasons why the official chose Arya as the sword bearer.

She is driven by emotions deeper than the simple pursuit of interests, as well as the indomitable spirit that only people of this age can possess.

In my twenties, I still have the last bit of ambition to change the world and have not been beaten into submission by society.

As for whether it will succeed or not...

Shang Gong felt that if 100 billion could really be raised, it would be his own problem if not.

"I have a few requests." He considered for a moment, trying to be as tactful as possible: "Maybe a little - willful."

"You said."

“First, I want to be the CEO and have full management authority.”

There was no way, Shang Gong was really scared. Although the previous Guangliang chip was a scam, it was also a huge simulation game.

That power struggle is simply...

Alia shook her head: "No, you can't suppress it."

Why is Alia unwilling to take money from the bank and would rather empty her family's savings to pay for it all?

The reason is that internal struggles for power and interests have hindered the development of technology. For example, at a certain chip manufacturing company, the internal struggles almost turned people's brains into dog brains.

The top management split, and the internal forum became the front line for verbal battles between the two factions of top management and even employees.

After the internal forum was closed, the verbal battle even spread to social media, directly and publicly intensifying the conflict.

Alia didn't want this kind of thing to delay the progress. She suppressed the entire Ai Group from going public because she didn't want to introduce external shareholders.

Some people have already started to discredit her, especially those who want to come in and reap the benefits but can't, saying that she is a female tsar.

"That--"

"I will be the CEO. You don't have to worry about administrative management. All you have to do is lead the technical staff. You can be the senior director of the factory."

"Okay." If Alia came in person, Shang Gong would feel a little more relieved.

The semiconductor industry is a whole circle, and everyone actually knows the capable people who are involved in it.

Shang Gong was quite worried that he would meet someone he knew, who would suddenly appear and suppress him.

This arrogant old man has a stubborn temper and is arrogant, so he has to be stroked.

After achieving success, he became more confident and no longer afraid of what his peers might say strangely.

“Second, be prepared to not be profitable for three to five years.”

"Actually, I thought it would take 10 years." Alia put her hands in her pockets, "But in reality, it shouldn't take that long."

If Alia had no industrial support, 10 years would even be an optimistic estimate.

A very simple example: shipping cost!

You have the same chip production line as others, but your yield rate is only half of theirs.

This means that your costs are twice as much as the other party, which can only be spread over the selling price.

Why would others spend twice as much to buy your chips? Are they your father who supports you?

This kind of competition is very terrifying and it is extremely easy to form a vicious cycle that becomes increasingly difficult.

Under normal circumstances, even if the high-tech industrial park has land cost advantages, official subsidies, and policy preferences, the gap cannot be eliminated.

Due to the heavy asset and capital investment pressure, each generation of wafer technology means spending tens of billions of dollars on research and development to catch up.

Therefore, the strong will always be strong: the more advanced the technology and the higher the sales volume, the more money they have to invest in the research and development of the next generation, and the more they can ensure the advancement of technology.

It is hard to say whether Xiao Liu wants to imitate Alia and integrate the industrial chain, or whether he also has the ambition to ship, develop and use his own products.

Of course, it is highly unlikely, but you can brag about it to deceive people and get some investment at the same time.

Boss Huo and his team waited patiently for half a year, and only revealed their true colors after they were sure that Alia had revitalized the electronics sales department.

“The current plan is to do one generation and chase the next generation.”

Alia squatted down and took a branch. "We didn't have a good talk before. Are you trying so hard to overtake us on the bright side?"
