Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 411 Trial Production

Ruan Tao quickly understood that building a car with the ability to copy would be a more profitable business, but he had no relevant experience before, and the prospect of taking over a car company's profit was not clear. How could it be convenient to make integrated circuits?

Wei Dong also feels that it is not worthwhile to buy a car company at this point in time. If it is the best time to buy car technology in the 80s ten years later, he can invest in the name of a Hong Kong businessman, and the project is easy to implement. Still thinking about how to do it is the most appropriate.

After talking about the company, Ruan Tao followed Wei Dong into the office and asked, "What do you think? We have no experience in managing a car company. Will a profitable company sell to you?"

Yes, no one will sell profitable companies, and most of the car companies that can be bought have already lost money, not to mention why the companies in Sunset Country are losing money. Apart from the poor sales, they are all luxury car brands. There is one main reason It’s the strange organization of the trade union in the production factory. To fire a worker, you need the union’s nod. The wages are not determined by the boss. You need to negotiate with the union. If you are not satisfied, you will have a general strike. Nothing can bypass the union.

If as an ordinary melon eater, he liked the farce of the Sunset Kingdom and liked to watch such dramas the most, as a company owner, Wei Dong would be a headache enough.

Wei Dong said: "Let the marketing department collect the information first. This is for long-term observation. We will talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future. It is not necessary to buy Rolls-Royce!"

Ruan Tao breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't think it would be good to buy it now, it would be fine if she made more money in two years and invested a few hundred million to buy a car company.

"Let's go, let's go to Shatian. Some of the workers who studied in the beautiful country have returned, and the integrated circuit production line has started trial production."

"Great, this is a good business to make money."

Ruan Tao smiled and said, "Now it's just the first trial production, and only a few silicon rods have been produced."

Wei Dong said: "Let's go and see now, it's a good start to be able to produce silicon rods."

Ruan Tao and Wei Dong went downstairs together, and introduced the latest situation on the way. The few people who came back first were the first batch. They learned how to make silicon rods. The first process is the simplest. After returning a few days ago, The electric arc furnace has been used to produce high-purity silicon liquid, and three qualified silicon rods have been pulled out.

After crossing the sea and arriving at the chip factory in Shatian, Wei Dong asked, "Are the silicon rods placed alone?"

Ruan Tao smiled and said, "Not yet, and there will be more in the future, so it's not too late for you to make a move." '

"Yes, don't worry."

Weidong is a little impatient, so let's take a look at the production line first.

He drove the car directly to the yard and got out of the car. Ruan Tao took Wei Dong to the outside of the workshop. The production area needs a dust-free environment, but the production scene inside can be seen through the glass.

Just as Ruan Tao and Wei Dong came outside the glass, a middle-aged man hurried over and said, "Manager Ruan, Mr. Yi, hello."

Ruan Tao shook hands with a smile, and then introduced to Wei Dong: "This is Director Cui Jingwei, the person in charge of the base."

"Hello, Director Cui." Wei Dong smiled and shook hands with Director Cui, and then Director Cui introduced the recent situation to the two.

Director Cui was selected to do logistics support and management, and went to the beautiful country to study together. He just learned the basic process and logistics requirements, and then came back with the first batch of operators.

Ruan Tao asked: "Has it been confirmed that there is no problem with the production of silicon ingots?"

Director Cui said: "Yes, we can increase the input of raw materials and increase CZ machines to produce more silicon rods."

Some introductions, it was trial production before, and the investment in silica was not much, just to meet the minimum production requirements. After these few days of trial operation, everything is normal, and the production capacity can be increased to 80%, and it will run for a period of time Then, run at full capacity.

The CZ machine is a special machine for pulling silicon rods. It weighs about 35 kilograms and has a height of about two meters. It can grow silicon rods from 1 meter to 1.5 meters.

Director Cui pointed to the equipment and introduced them one by one. The silicon dioxide was prepared and purified by an electric arc furnace to reach a purity of 11 nines, and then poured into the CZ machine and seeded at a suitable temperature. The silicon dioxide liquid will gradually solidify, like Like growing from the inside, the current lithography machine can only process 9mm wafers, so the diameter of the silicon rod only needs to be slightly larger.

Weidong asked: "That is to say, as long as the CZ machine is designed to be larger, thicker and longer silicon rods can be produced?"

Director Cui said: "The principle is the same, it should work."

Director Cui then introduced that the silicon rods planted are uneven in thickness and need to be polished on a special grinder to become a standard cylindrical shape, and then cut into thin slices with a diamond inner diameter saw, and then processed by a grinding machine. Polishing and grinding, after many times of grinding to a suitable thickness, there should be no deformation, and a small gap is cut at one corner to facilitate the fixed work of the lithography machine in the future.

A qualified wafer is produced. It can be said that the preliminary work has been prepared. Next, the lithography machine can be used to make chips. Now the returning personnel have only learned the step of making wafers, and the subsequent operators have not yet finished learning. return.

Director Cui led the two of them to another glass, pointed to a machine and said, "This machine is grinding silicon rods and slicing them."

Then pointing to another machine, there are workers operating the machine to slice the processed silicon rods.

Only one silicon wafer can be cut at a time, and the next step is to polish and polish the silicon wafer. Wei Dong and Ruan Tao looked at each machine one by one, and finally Ruan Tao asked: "Can we produce the perfect first silicon wafer this afternoon? "

Director Cui said embarrassingly: "Now it's trial production, and they are still unskilled. The precision of polishing is not up to par, and the yield rate is not high. Maybe we can produce qualified silicon wafers by this afternoon."

Director Cui explained to Weidong that he knew that the trial run was only the production of silicon rods a few days ago, and today the silicon rods were sliced ​​and polished, and the second part of the trial run was started.

The first step is to use sand to produce a one-meter-long silicon rod, which is filled with high-temperature liquid and cannot be interrupted, so the first step is not until the silicon rod is taken out.

Silicon ingots can be put into the warehouse in special packaging, or transferred to the second step of polishing and slicing workshop, and silicon wafers come out after entering.

Producing qualified silicon wafers with silicon rods is the second step, and it is also a special workshop, which is independent from the silicon rod production workshop, in order to prevent pollution and cause unnecessary losses.

Wei Dong said: "Don't be burdened by thoughts. The pass rate is definitely not high at the beginning. First, try it out for a period of time. After you are proficient, the pass rate will increase."

It was Director Cui's first time dealing with Weidong, and he was lucky that Weidong was so easy to talk to. What he was most afraid of was unreasonable leaders, laymen directing experts, and blindly making demands.

I have already visited here, and then went to the office to have tea and listen to the report of Manager Cui. In fact, there is nothing to say. Now it is just a trial production. There are only ten operators in total. As long as the normal production is good.

Finally, he said: "The most urgent thing right now is the training of workers."

Ruan Tao said: "There is no problem with this, someone will bring it to you right away."

Now these people are sent to the beautiful country to learn the operation technology, and the workers needed for the production line copied by Weidong will need to learn from these workers, so that they don't need to be sent to the beautiful country.

After rejecting Director Cui's persuasion, the two drove out, and Wei Dong asked, "Is the house you bought for me ready?"

"It's ready, you can go live anytime."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "Then let's go and have a look."

Ruan Tao was embarrassed, and said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Wei Dong said: "It's really unreasonable, I can't even laugh anymore?"

Ruan Tao said: "I won't be reasonable, why are you dragging me to see?"

"I can't wait until the evening! I want to eat peach blossom stuffed buns and white peach steamed buns."

"."

Ruan Tao finally couldn't hold back his expression, turned his head to one side, looking at the scenery on the other side,

After not seeing each other for more than 20 days, Ruan Tao already missed Wei Dong, but it was still noon, Wei Dong couldn't help but start molesting himself, wanting to do something wrong, which is too shameless.

Wei Dong smiled and asked, "Sister Taozi, where is the address?"

Ruan Tao said with a straight face, "I don't know, I forgot."

A land deed came out of Weidong's hand, and it disappeared in an instant. When he turned the corner at the front intersection, Weidong said triumphantly, "Sister Taozi, I'll know if you don't tell me."

Ruan Tao smiled and said, "You are cheating."

Then he pointed to an industrial building ahead and said, "Stop under that one."

Wei Dong said: "We haven't had lunch yet, what are we doing in the building?"

Ruan Tao said: "I left this one alone. There is a noodle cake production line inside, as well as some lathes, industrial sewing machines, ironing machines, small machinery, electric drills, copper wires, and other samples. There is a list of what you need. You can copy it. If there is enough quantity, the outsourcing of this batch of goods will require hundreds of millions of cash.”

"Well, you also thought of copying these things, these are inconspicuous, and it's okay to copy too much."

Ruan Tao said: "Think about the amount of wires, switches, lights, doors, windows, and handles we need to build dozens of industrial buildings in this batch, so I didn't ask Jinmen Construction to purchase them for you. self-made."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "I'll be so frugal, and I'll reward you with a chicken leg later."

Ruan Tao gave Wei Dong a thump, and the two got out of the car. Ruan Tao had the key and it seemed that he had prepared it before, so he went to the third floor to collect the samples. Ruan Tao handed over a list and asked, "Do you have a key?" There is no quantity limit? Can it be done if there is no sample?"

Wei Dong thought about it, it seems that there is really no limit, and he will try to find an aircraft carrier later, wondering if it can be copied.

"It seems that there is no limit. Anyway, I have not found anything that cannot be copied."

Wei Dong continued: "Of course we need samples. Without samples, the difficulty will be extremely high, which is not worthwhile."

Weidong had tried it before, and it required a high degree of concentration on his own, and the copied things were prone to errors.

Ruan Tao thought about it and asked, "Can the currency of the beautiful country do it?"

Yi Weidong pinched Ruan Tao's nose, and was slapped off, and said with a smile: "First of all, the paper, ink, and materials cannot be obtained for making money, and secondly, the serial numbers of the copied ones are the same. Don't go out, understand?"

There is another reason why Weidong didn't say it, that is, the Supreme God of Reading Articles does not allow such a thing to happen, and once found, all of them were put into a shredder and completely destroyed.

Ruan Tao also thought about it before, and now she has to copy the product and sell it for money, why not just make it herself!

Now that Weidong said this, he remembered that each piece had a serial number on it, and the copied serial number could not be spent.

She smiled embarrassingly: "I forgot about this."

After getting out of the room and taking the elevator upstairs, Wei Dong said, "In fact, many things are more expensive than money. For example, the integrated circuits we will produce soon, and things the size of a fingernail made of sand can be sold for tens of dollars."

Integrated circuit chips are now produced, and a chip ranges from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. For example, the first 4004 chip made by Intel can be sold for 200 dollars when it comes out, and the retail price of 8008 is as high as 380 when it comes out. dollars.

Ruan Tao snorted, thought about it and asked, "Can the diamond be copied?"

Wei Dong looked at Ruan Tao from the side, but he also ignored it. Ruan Tao only had a pair of earrings and no other jewelry. He put his arm around Ruan Tao's fragrant shoulders and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Taozi, I forgot to give it to you. I'm shopping for accessories, shall we go shopping in the afternoon?"

Ruan Tao leaned her head on Wei Dong's shoulder: "I'm not asking you for jewelry, I'm just asking if you can copy diamonds?"

The elevator stopped and came to the tenth floor. After getting out, Wei Dong said: "Diamonds can be copied, but we don't have a source. Copying is meaningless if the quantity is small, and it is not easy to ship if the quantity is large."

Diamonds are actually a scam. They are worthless at all. The simplest thing is that gold jewelry is old and someone recycles it, but you can look for it all over the street. Is anyone recycling diamonds?
If you can't sell it after buying it, isn't that a scam?
Weidong found an excuse to go to the bathroom, flashed into the space and copied all the items according to the number of items in the list, came out to drain the water, and then came out of the bathroom.

Ruan Tao ordered Weidong to release the things, and explained which room contained what goods, and filled the floor to the next floor, and shipped goods one floor after another, filling the entire building.

Wei Dong laughed and said, "If a thief comes here, he will get rich."

Ruan Tao rolled her eyes: "If you have something to say, just say it, I can arrange someone to watch the night."

Wei Dong smiled shyly, and said from left to right: "Sister Taozi, don't refuse any more things I give you in the future, right? To me, money is just a pile of paper, and I can have as much as I want."

Ruan Tao refused before because she felt that the company was owned by Weidong, and she still had a wife. It would be bad to take too much. Now that Weidong is special, it takes hundreds of millions of supplies to go to the bathroom. Even the production is not so fast. .

It's okay to accept some gifts from Weidong in the future, money is too easy for Weidong, and besides, I follow Weidong wholeheartedly, so it is right for Weidong to support himself.

"That's fine, but it can't be too expensive."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "How much money can you spend in life? Change to a big villa, buy a few sports cars, you choose."

When Ruan Tao thought about it, it really wouldn't cost much, even less than a million, so the matter was decided in this way.

Together we came to the newly bought Jiulong Mountain villa for Weidong. The partition wall between the two villas had been opened. We had lunch downstairs and took a break. Weidong began to taste peach blossom wine and white peach steamed buns.

The one on the left and the one on the right, Wei Dong ate very happily.

Then in the living room, on the balcony, in the study room, and on the dressing table.
The room is a bit big. If it wasn't for Weidong's physical strength, he might not be able to finish the tour in one afternoon.
