Reinventing the Millennium.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, silicon-on-insulator is a thin layer of single-crystal silicon formed on an insulating substrate of silicon."

"Compared to the current conductive silicon substrate, it has a three-layer structure. The first layer of silicon substrate layer can provide mechanical support, the second layer is silicon dioxide layer, forming an insulating structure, and the third layer is The top layer of monocrystalline silicon can be etched for circuits to form the working layer of the driver IC."

"Mr. Fang, silicon-on-insulator can make our 65nm process wafers more compact, and the cutting rate can be increased by 25%!"

"Moreover, chips with this process can reduce power consumption by 3, increase the operating frequency by at least 20%, and reduce the overall cost by 10%!"

Fang Zhuo sat at the desk in the hotel suite, listening to Liang Mengsong's babbling on the overseas phone, while carefully recording key data, cutting +25%, power consumption -30%, efficiency +20%, cost -10%.

As for Dr. Liang's explanation of the craft, it's not difficult, just this and that and that and that.

Fang Zhuo's eyes gradually blurred, but he was embarrassed to interrupt Liang Mengsong who was trying to teach him.

The inspection of Ice Core 65nm mass production was very successful. Except for the representatives of manufacturers who exceeded the scale and the teachers and students of colleges and universities, I don’t know if there was any lack of hospitality.

This joy was conveyed to Liang Mengsong, who is also a hero of the manufacturing process but should not be named. He was also very happy, and excitedly chatted about the improvement of the ice core.

For the same process, wafers made by different manufacturers are not the same.

This is why Taiji is the top choice for major customers, because its R&D investment and technical accumulation are quite strong.

"Mr. Fang, ice cores are still promising in terms of technology. Silicon-on-insulator is SOI, which was proposed in 64, but FD-SOI, that is, fully depleted silicon-on-insulator..." Liang Mengsong laughed, "This is Professor Hu proposed in 2000 that we have advantages in research and development, and the traditional bulk silicon Bulk CMOS process will come to an end at 20nm."

He took a breath, and said the purpose of the call that excited him: "Mr. Fang, vote, vote boldly! This technical route will never go wrong! The person who knows FD-SOI best in the world is Professor Hu, and the one who knows FinFET best is Professor Hu, when these two processes reach the 7nm process node, SOI will develop from 2D to 3D, and can be used as an SOI FinFET process! It can be said that different routes lead to the same goal!"

"President Fang, vote, you can vote now!"

Liang Mengsong spoke extremely fast, and his excitement overflowed the conversation.

and so……

God is fair.

I have always said this to myself and others, I did not expect to be urged so much today
When Fang Zhuo heard the words from Dr. Liang, a strong emotion surged in his heart, vote, vote, vote!
He is not too confused, he understands!

This is equivalent to adding a layer of gain buff to the process to reduce costs, reduce power consumption, increase production, and increase efficiency.

Most importantly, such gains are not temporary and can continue to higher process stages.

"Investment in research and development must be taken seriously. I know this, and I think Mr. Qiu and Professor Hu will agree." Fang Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "The leader came to me last night. Jiu Jin, I chatted about the number of academicians, it might be... a bit difficult."

Liang Mengsong on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds and said, "That's not important."

Fang Zhuo sighed: "I calculated the time together with the leader. You can add ice cores next year, but we can't propose 65nm, so we can only host major projects in the next year and the next year, and this is an odd-numbered year." The selection can only catch up with the one in 2011."

From passing the non-competition agreement in 08 to 2011, it took three years, and there were ten months for selection in between.

This speed is quite fast.

Liang Mengsong was slightly taken aback, and immediately knew that Mr. Fang might have put in a lot of effort for this, and this quota was not a radish pit in the ice core, so he just took it if he said it.

He said slowly: "Although a quota is not that important to the ice core, and it will continue to develop without it, it is still quite important to me personally. What can I do? The love of semiconductors has been invested in the development of ice cores, and I can only not pay back the record if I don’t break the record.”

Fang Zhuo was very happy, who said Dr. Liang was difficult to get along with?Isn't that what you say?

He said: "On the day of the doctor's return, I will put on the battle robe with the doctor."

"Okay, Mr. Fang, I am very much looking forward to the day when I officially join Bingxin." Liang Mengsong ended the call.

He doesn't need to look at the calendar to know that 396 days have passed since the signing of the non-compete agreement with Taiji, and 334 days are left before joining Bingxin.

Well, there are still 51 months to become an academician.

……

Fly to Luzhou on the 19th and return to Shencheng on the 23rd.

Fang Zhuo drank a lot of wine in four days.

The leading group inspected the ice core on the 20th, and left on the 21st after discussing urban planning with the local administration.

Fang Zhuo accompanied the whole process, and also talked about the importance of industrial development and technological drive as the head of the first domestic wafer manufacturing company with 65nm process mass production.

And when the big leaders and retired leaders finished their inspection trip, the local provincial and municipal leaders would have another round of communication.

For a long time, one is that Fang Zhuo himself is very busy, and the other is that he tries to use Bingxin as the medium of communication for everyone.

It doesn't need too much action, just having such a family of ice cores is enough.

However, this time because of the mass production of 65nm, there were many leaders who were disturbed. When others came to Luzhou, they would inevitably have a wave of exchanges, and it was impossible to pat their buttocks and leave.

When Fang Zhuo finished dealing with all this and flew back to Shanghai, he was generally satisfied with the past few days. Only one investment proposal for the domestic semiconductor industry was still on hold.

Fang Zhuo mentioned it to the leader once before in the capital, and this time it was almost the same response.

However, he can also understand that a wave of industrial investment that requires concentrated efforts needs to be coordinated by all parties. Such "shelving" and "noncommittal" may not be what he sees. Perhaps, there have been researches and evaluations behind the scenes.

When Fang Zhuo returned to China, he told Su Wei that he would reserve two days of vacation, intending to relax his nervous nerves a little.

But before he can relax, he has one small thing to weigh.

On September 9th, Fang Zhuo called Liu Suyi from Yongke Real Estate over at the President's Office of Hang Lung 24.

"Mr. Liu, sit down quickly and try the Maofeng I brought from Luzhou yesterday."

"I used to give it to the leader. It's rare for the leader to give it to me once. I tasted good. It just so happened that the company ordered another batch of mooncakes, so I wanted you to try them too."

When Fang Zhuo saw Liu Suyi, he made tea with a smile on his face, and showed him the moon cake gift box he had prepared.

The employees of Yike Company have always been treated very well, whether it is moon cakes or gift boxes, they are all exquisite.

Liu Suyi did not lack this, but Mr. Fang was flattered to make tea himself and give him mooncakes.

From the beginning to the end, Yongke Real Estate's sequence in the Yike Department was very low.

No one would believe it. Liu Suyi only saw Mr. Fang once this year during the Spring Festival, and he couldn't find a way to give gifts. Why don't he just put the gift in the company to let others know Mr. Fang's attitude towards him?
Fortunately, Liu Suyi first met Mr. Fang from Leader Qiu, and took the lead in taking the real estate company to join him. He thought that as long as he worked hard...

and many more!

Why is President Fang so kind today?Making tea and pouring tea again, and moon cake gifts?

Liu Suyi was suddenly startled.

Who is Fang always?

He said that if you don't fake your speech, you won't fake your speech. It doesn't matter if you are from Shencheng or you are passing through Xiangjiang, he can do whatever he wants!

Liu Suyi lowered his head and drank his tea. Hearing Mr. Fang's more and more amiable tone, he felt sore in his heart.

He has always known that Mr. Fang lacks interest in real estate, and he has long said that he will use the real estate to give blood transfusions to his son in Luzhou.

Now... It's probably a bad thing for Mr. Fang to be so polite.

"Mr. Fang, this tea is really good." Liu Suyi put down his teacup, praised the tea, and considered how to describe his hard work to Mr. Fang.

There is no credit, but there is also hard work. Without Yongke Real Estate, Mr. Fang may not be the richest man in the mainland this year.

If Yongke Real Estate hadn't snatched several projects from Country Garden, and one was up and down the other, Yang Huiyan, who held the listed shares of Country Garden, might have suddenly emerged and acquired the title of richest man.

"That's right, the tea that the leader gave me, I thought I'd keep it even if it didn't taste good, but I didn't expect the taste to be really top-notch." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "There aren't many tea leaves. Today is a coincidence, and I'll give you a box."

Liu Suyi watched Mr. Fang take out a box of tea from the drawer stiffly, and felt that something was wrong.

He hoped that Mr. Fang could scold him, that would be good...

Yongke Real Estate cannot do without Mr. Fang!
At least, not yet!

Don't think Mr. Fang doesn't ask questions, but as long as he is there, Yongke Real Estate will be three points easier than other companies to get land, let alone get a loan from the bank.

In particular, the cooperation between Yongke and ICBC is very good.

Mr. Fang has never said hello to Yongke and the bank, but the invisible influence is here.

Liu Suyi never thought that he was awesome, he even thought that putting a pig with a stamp on his head could make Yongke Real Estate make money.

"Well, Mr. Liu, I've been quite busy recently. Thanks to you for the development of our company." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Liu Suyi took a sip of his tea, he was a smart person, and immediately dismissed the so-called hard work.

Learn from the legendary investor Wang Fengyi, what's wrong with being a dog?In addition to being able to bark, you also need to know how to take care of the home, right?

"Actually, it's not that hard. Yongke Real Estate is developing according to the trend. Fortunately, it has developed well. Now it is not only a tiger in East China, but also a well-known name in China." Liu Suyi did not show weakness and beg for mercy, but instead highlighted the development of Yongke Real Estate.

Fang Zhuo nodded in satisfaction, so that he could sell it for a good price.

Liu Suyi continued calmly: "Mr. Fang, I also want to make a report recently. Country Garden will be listed this year, and the development speed will suddenly be faster. Yongke Real Estate can also prepare for listing."

"Whether it is A shares or Hong Kong shares, as long as Yongke is listed, not only the company's development, but also shareholders' benefits, and the use of funds will be much more convenient."

"I have confidence in Yongke's listing."

Liu Suyi made his statement sonorously, looking at Mr. Fang who was thinking, his throat twitched quietly and nervously.

After a while, Fang Zhuo said indifferently, "Well, this matter, then you should study it and see what the regulations are, and give me a formal report next month."

Obviously Fang stopped laughing, but Liu Suyi's heart suddenly became stiff!

He thinks he is awesome!
"The company is so busy, Mr. Liu, I won't keep you. I will have a meeting later." Fang Zhuo said.

Liu Suyi stood up and bid farewell to Mr. Fang as if he had received an amnesty.

"and many more."

As soon as he arrived at the door of the office, he suddenly heard Mr. Fang's voice from behind, and his legs became a little weak.

"Mr. Liu, tea, mooncakes." Fang Zhuo said concisely.

Liu Suyi breathed a sigh of relief, after finishing his expression, he turned around and took away the gift that Mr. Fang gave him once every few years, and calmly thanked him again before walking out of Yike's president's office boldly.

Sitting in the office, Fang Zhuo felt that Liu Yiyi's behavior was a bit strange, but he didn't take it too seriously, and continued to consider the research and development of ice core and investment in the project.

Ice Core’s 65nm has just started receiving orders and is trying to introduce customers. Such an advanced technology will bring good continuous income and profits, but in the past two years, it has built production lines in Lin’an and Shencheng respectively, even if it cooperates with Sony and Qimonda. , is also a huge investment.

Like the rapid depreciation period of equipment that is one of the reasons for SMIC's losses, Ice Core can't escape it either.

However, Bingxin is not a listed company and does not need to bear too much pressure in this regard.

Fang Zhuo considered selling the real estate company not only because of the R&D investment required now, but also because the cost of building production lines in the future will become higher and higher. He hopes that Bingxin will have relatively sufficient funds to take advantage of the rapid development in the past few years.

"Let's go to the bank."

Fang Zhuo thought about it, and his idea fell on the bank. As long as this time passes, Bing Xin's funds will be much looser in various senses.

That night, Fang Zhuo was on vacation.

He originally wanted to have a candlelight dinner, but as soon as the food cooked by Su Wei was put on the table, there were frequent phone calls.

Su Wei listened to several conversations, and Fang Zhuo's side was full of words like "You're welcome" and "Let's develop together".

"Where did you call?" She was a little surprised.

"It's still on the ice core side. Some are cooperative manufacturers, and some are not cooperated with domestic companies." Fang Zhuo glanced at the text message and replied casually, "65nm is the only one in China, and the production capacity in the fourth quarter can only reach 1W5. In fact, the supply is a bit short of demand, but we have reserved the production capacity of 2000 pieces for domestic manufacturers.”

That is, 13.3% of the production capacity is reserved for domestic manufacturers.

"Big customers are given priority, and small customers have no human rights, right?" Su Wei laughed.

"That's true, even more so when making wafers." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "The supply is already in short supply. Of course, the first choice is to maintain a relationship with a large customer. They can order 3000 or 5000 at a time. They are still long-term partners. Small domestic companies can order 80. , 100...Maybe it will go bankrupt someday."

IC design is relatively asset-light in the semiconductor industry, but that is only relative. A tape-out requires more than 1000 processes, lasts for two or three months, and costs two to three million US dollars. If you fail twice, you can consider how to go bankrupt.

However, advanced manufacturing processes bring stronger performance, and any design company that wants to develop must consider how to rely on higher manufacturing processes to manufacture more competitive chips.

In the past, it was not easy for mainland IC design companies to find advanced manufacturing processes, even if they had money, and the fabs in the industry depended on their relationships.

Now, Bingxin is willing to squeeze out part of the tight production capacity, which has made many people grateful to Dade.

"The top priority is to expand production capacity." After hearing Fang Zhuo's simple explanation, Su Wei said with a smile, "It's a pity that such a positive cycle does not increase."

"That's the goal for next year. The main goal for the fourth quarter is to improve the yield rate." Fang Zhuo and Su Wei have nothing to say, "Our mass production yield rate is 65%, and the goal for the fourth quarter is to increase to 80%- 85%, I think Mr. Qiu, Professor Hu, and Dr. Liang are very confident."

"Yike Mars can use its own foundry chips." Su Wei knows that Bingxin's current number one customer is Qualcomm.

Fang Zhuo smiled: "Yeah, I'm just worried about one thing. If there is a problem with this chip, then wait for me and Qualcomm to blame each other."

The two chatted and chatted until the pre-sale at the end of the month.

"The publicity in the United States and Europe is pushing forward. I have good confidence in the pre-sales. The pre-sales will determine some things, but the more important thing is its performance in December." Fang Zhuo said, "The relationship between Apple and AT&T The collaboration is still pretty amazing."

The iPhone experienced price cuts, which once attracted a backlash from word of mouth, and the stock price fell by 6%, but it is still a good product after all.

On the 14th of this month, Apple announced that it had sold over one million units.

Calculating the time, 78 days after its release, the sales of a mobile phone that is considered to be avant-garde and even radical in design exceeded 100 million units.

It's almost certain that Apple's iPhone will gain a firm foothold in the market.

Fang Zhuo has received a report from Yike America in the past few days, and the attitude of the operator V has become more kind.

Now I feel that with the performance of the iPhone and the movement of Mars, V Chamber of Commerce will change its thinking faster.

"Oh yes, I'll show you a fun one." Fang Zhuo took out another mobile phone in his pocket, handed it to Weiwei, and said with a smile, "You click on the sign for cutting fruit."

Su Wei opened it according to her words, and found that it was a small game on her mobile phone.

She tried to explore for a while, the game mode is not complicated.

however……

"Using your hand as a knife to cut fruit, such a game interaction..." Su Wei commented in surprise, "A mobile game that fully displays the touch screen, but it still lags a bit."

"Hey, this is made by Yike's domestic team. It has been developed based on the Android system for a long time, but there are still some cards. I hope to push it to users when it is officially released. This is a new way of playing, just like the front-end It’s the same as the camera.” Fang Zhuo said with a smile, “Except for the iPhone, it’s mostly a resistive screen now, so I believe the human-computer interaction of the game will bring you a fresh experience.”

"It's a touchscreen that the user can feel," he said.

Su Wei nodded and continued playing for a while.

It is quite difficult to get started for the first time.

But, it's really novel and fresh!

"Can it be optimized in December?" Su Wei handed over her phone after a failure.

"As far as possible, the domestic team is not good enough in terms of optimization, let the foreign team take over and try in the next three months." Fang Zhuo said with some regret, "The Android system really needs a greater evolution. Fortunately, for users, Everything is new."

"Charge it first, and I'll help you evaluate it tomorrow." Su Wei made a request, and then asked, "What's the name of the game?"

"It hasn't been officially named yet, but it will probably be called Fruit Killer, Fruit Killer." Fang Zhuo replied.

Su Wei nodded, which was appropriate.

She was a little looking forward to how the game would look after optimization, and felt that there was a high probability that it would be all the rage.

The next day, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Wei took Fang Zhuo to the hospital for a round of physical examinations. The results of the items that came out that day were basically all right, and a more detailed report would take a few days to be fully released.

Because the time was faster than expected, Zhou Xin's family was also called over to watch the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival at night.

With family and friends, some excitement, of course not to mention.

When the excitement dissipated, Fang Zhuo arrived home and suddenly found that he seemed to have forgotten to buy a gift for Weiwei.

Do you give gifts for Mid-Autumn Festival?Don't send it?Send it?

"I heard that there is a brand-name store newly opened in Shanghai, let's go shopping tomorrow?" Fang Zhuo suggested.

"Come on, come with me." Su Wei smiled and brought Fang Zhuo to the cloakroom, and then opened a cabinet door, revealing a variety of bags in front of him.

Fang Zhuo: "..."

He didn't realize that Vivi liked to buy these before.

"I didn't buy it." Su Wei seemed to know what Fang Zhuo was thinking, "The richest man in the mainland, what a big restaurant, you fly around, others can't find you, I'm in e-buy, people can find me .”

"They were all given by others?" Fang Zhuo frowned slightly.

"Look, it was given to me by Zhou Xin's daughter-in-law, Yu Lanyu. We have such a good relationship, can't we not accept it? Well, that bag was also given by her." Su Wei picked up one casually, "Like Yu Lanyu , I’ll just order it casually, and the others basically gave gifts of equivalent value in return.”

She closed the cabinet door: "It's all under the honor of your President Fang, not only the bag, but also other gifts."

"You never mentioned it to me," Fang Zhuo said.

"It's not hard to deal with. The main thing is that I'm busy too. If I'm free, I might not be able to fit it in the house." Su Wei smiled, "E-Go will try to open up a cosmetics section at the end of the year, so I won't even need to buy these."

Fang Zhuo thought for a while: "The front camera of Yike's mobile phone, the cosmetics section of Yigou e-commerce, what else is there for female friends? I'll see if I can buy them together."

"Then I'm afraid I'm going to dig Taobao to make a large-scale seller." Su Wei said without hesitation, "You want to give me a gift, don't you? Let's see if Taobao can listen to it."

Fang Zhuo glanced at the female president of e-buy, and vaguely felt her eagerness to move.

But, it's okay, he is also very ready to move now.

It was a two-day holiday, and the shopping that was scheduled for the second day did not come true.

Fang Zhuo just stays at home, it is rare to have a relaxing day, watching TV, rolling the sheets, practicing calligraphy, rolling the sheets, eating something, rolling on the sofa...

The holiday time "whoosh" disappeared.

Fang Zhuo felt like he was on vacation, but he didn't seem to be on vacation.

The European and American markets of Yike Mobile are preparing for the upcoming pre-sale.

Fang Zhuoren was in Shencheng, looked at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala bidding that Yike was going to participate in, and gave the instruction "at all costs", and this sentence increased Yike's bidding budget by 2000 million.

Judging from the current progress of domestic 3G, it may not be possible for Yike mobile phones to be introduced to the market in 2008.

"What if we can't sell it domestically in 08?" Yike executives reported the risks to Mr. Fang, which meant a year-long publicity waste including the Spring Festival Gala.

Fang Zhuo thinks this is not a problem at all: "It's very simple, just vote for another year."
