Sprinkle coins every day

Chapter 521 Breaking through the 14nm process, the semiconductor industry has changed drastically!
Time is quickly entering late May.

After going through rounds of games, the "financing" of Sprout Holdings, including a new round of employee equity incentive plan, finally landed smoothly.

Germination Holdings welcomed 36 institutional shareholders in one fell swoop, and will soon welcome tens of thousands of individual shareholders.

Significant changes have taken place in the ownership structure.

bud--

Finally, it is no longer the bud of Zhang Shuo alone.

With the approaching of the sixth anniversary of Germination, various subsidiaries have also started "gifts" one after another.

On May 5, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment took the lead and released the new mobile game "The Awakening of Nations". As soon as the server was launched, it launched the "Sixth Anniversary Series of Sprouts".

This heat is clearly and in vain.

The original time and space "Awakening of Nations" was published by Lilith, whose hair was almost bald by Zhang Shuo.

In the game, players can choose 11 civilizations, build and upgrade their own cities, produce resources, research and develop technology, create troops, and can also launch attacks on enemies and compete for resources.

Or gather the power of the alliance, launch a mass attack on the enemy, and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

In terms of gameplay, it is a relatively common farming mobile game.

Moreover, Lilith also made a hodgepodge, allowing "heroes" such as Cao Cao, Caesar, Minamoto Yoshitsune, and Frederick to meet in this huge and real sand table world and gather under the command of the consul.

It can only barely pass.

Especially in the original time and space, the game production level is not high, the troop movements are not coherent, and there are even frame drops; during large-scale team battles, the phone becomes unbearably hot.

In this life, under the guidance of the strong production team of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and the corporate culture of excellence, the production level of "Awakening of Nations" has been greatly improved.

It can barely enter the boutique sequence.

.........

Just two days later, that is, the day of 520.

At the Pyeongchang Commercial Space Launch Center, Nebula Technology successfully launched the first self-developed commercial launch vehicle - Xingjian-002, which is also equipped with Nebula 004-[-] test communication satellites.

It marks that Nebula Technology has made a breakthrough in the field of commercial spaceflight.

There is also a lot of discussion on the Internet.

The words "Celebrating the Sixth Anniversary of Germination" printed on the Xingjian No. [-] arrow also spread rapidly to every corner of the Internet through the publication of major media.

It's a wave of presence.

"Damn it, bull beep, Nebula Technology has developed a commercial launch vehicle so quickly."

"High-end, so fucking high-end!"

"In order to celebrate Mengya's birthday, Nebula Technology created a big rocket (dog head)"

"This card face is awesome!!!"

"The budding future is the sea of ​​stars, you must like it!!!"

"Although it started from the Internet industry, it has to be said that Germination is embodying more and more excellent qualities of industry and manufacturing, becoming more and more high-end and cutting-edge!"

"It's getting cooler and cooler!"

"Indeed, if you play with smartphones, semiconductors, new energy vehicles, and commercial aerospace one after another, Germination can be regarded as a cool word even on a global scale."

"Don't forget, there is also artificial intelligence."

"A friend of mine works at the headquarters of Germination, and said that the artificial intelligence inside Germination has been launched quietly, and even equipped with a virtual image, which is quite intelligent."

"Just one word - convinced!!!"

"It's really gratifying to be able to see the rise of Bud in the post-Big Three era!"

"Didn't the Big Three just get laid down by Germination? (Dog head)"

"The current Big Three are no match for Germina's shoes. Even in the Internet track they are most familiar with, they have been messed up by the new Big Three."

"That's right, especially in terms of overseas strategy, the new Big Three have gone further than the old Big Three."

"As a student studying in Star City, I am used to using various apps such as Weixin, Pinxixi, Qingcheng, Feixun, Moyin, etc. in the local area. It is basically the same as in Huaxia."

"This is the real international model!"

There is no doubt that the successful launch of Xingjian-[-] has added another brilliance to Germination.

While cheering for Germination on the Internet, two days later, on May 5, Zhang Shuo, who hadn't appeared in public for a long time, suddenly appeared in Luzhou.

Attended the trial operation and commissioning ceremony of Weijing Semiconductor's 14nm process.

That's right!

After two years of research and development, the R&D team led by Song Liang finally conquered the advanced 14nm manufacturing process, taking Weijing Semiconductor from the 28nm era to the 14nm era in one step.

In one fell swoop, it caught up with the two major competitors of TEC and Samsung Wafer, and finally stood on the same starting line.

Compared with Thai Electromechanical and Samsung Wafer, Weijing Semiconductor, which is backed by the parent company Inaosui Group, has a unique advantage. As soon as it made a breakthrough, it won an order for the Z4 chip from Candle Dragon Technology.

Tai Electromechanical and Weijing Semiconductor each received half of the orders.

To do so, firstly, we must continue to fulfill the cooperation agreement signed by Inaosui Group with TEC, and continue to guide TEC to transfer production capacity to the inland; secondly, it is also because Weijing Semiconductor’s yield rate is insufficient.

Regarding this issue, Liang Song had already been vaccinated before.

After all, Weijing Semiconductor is a "new player". Even with the technical reserves of Lijing Technology, there are top scientists like Liang Song, and they have poached countless corners from Samsung and TEC.

In the end, the background is still not enough.

Especially from the 28nm process to the 14nm advanced process in one fell swoop.

"I still say that the 14nm advanced process can be put into production, which is already the greatest success." Zhang Shuo said to Liang Song at the production ceremony.

It also gave Liang Song enough trust.

Similarly, Liang Song's hard work and dedication have also been rewarded generously. Among other things, just taking over the position of president of Dao Sui Group can be called extremely honorable.

Today's Rice Ear Group can be regarded as an enhanced version of Yingtel.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the world's largest semiconductor company.

Not only because of the fame of Candle Dragon Technology, but also a very important factor, that is, with the fiery currency circle, the global graphics card market has started a skyrocketing mode.

Jing Jiawei, a subsidiary of Dao Sui Group, naturally became one of the biggest beneficiaries.

Liang Song, as the helm of the Inaosui Group, has a position in the global semiconductor industry that even surpasses that of the chairman of Thai Electromechanical. How can it be compared to the former vice president of Samsung Wafer?

In addition to his status in the world, a new round of equity incentives is emerging. Liang Song, as the president of Dao Sui Group, is also a "meritorious minister" named by Zhang Shuo, and will also receive a large amount of equity incentives.

Once fulfilled, it will be enough for Liang Song to truly realize financial freedom.

"Thank you, Chairman, for your support!"

For the big boss who came to join in person today, Liang Song was very grateful.

"I want to thank you. After Weijing Semiconductor broke through the 14nm advanced manufacturing process, the game of Inaosui Group has finally been completely revitalized. From now on, there will be no hidden dangers." Zhang Shuo looked excited.

"???"

Liang Song's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't understand the true meaning of Zhang Shuo's words.

No wonder.

Those who have not experienced the original time and space may find it difficult to understand and empathize.

But it is the cruelest fact.

More importantly, according to what Zhang Shuo learned, Huaxia Microelectronics has entered a critical period for the "development" and production of a new generation of lithography machines.

I believe that they will soon be able to catch up with Esmail and bridge the gap between them.

Make up for the last short board!
Until then, Huaxia, which has the advantages of the entire semiconductor industry chain, can truly rest easy.

Chips are the best entry point for the outside world to grasp the buds. Whether it is a wheat cell phone or a Mango car, including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, commercial aerospace and other fields, chips are inseparable.

Zhang Shuo is also very fortunate that when he chose the system rewards, he chose a full set of lithography machine technology.

And finally got rich rewards.

.........

Weijing Semiconductor's breakthrough in the 14nm advanced manufacturing process is tantamount to dropping a blockbuster in the global semiconductor circle, making colleagues dizzy.

Thai Electromechanical Headquarters.

"How is it possible, so fast?"

Chen Zhong, the chairman of Taiji Electric who got the news, had a calm expression on his face, and this time he finally lived in Bengbu, and it was rare to show a gaffe.

He is worthy of Weijing Semiconductor's breakthrough in the 14nm advanced process, but he has never taken it seriously.

The reason is also very simple.

Even Samsung Wafer took three years to take this step, let alone Weijing Semiconductor?

Three or four years later, TEC has already advanced the chip manufacturing process to 10 nanometers, or even 7 nanometers, which can fully ensure its leading edge over Weijing Semiconductor.

No matter how hard Weijing Semiconductor tried, it could only follow in the footsteps of Tai Electromechanical.

I can't catch up!

Unexpectedly, in just two years, Weijing Semiconductor has made a breakthrough.

It's incredible.

"In terms of research and development, I have to admit that Liang Song is indeed a genius among geniuses." Jiang Yi, the consultant of TEC and Liang Song's old opponent in TEC, is a rare "admit defeat".

In a disguised form, he admits that he is not as good as Liang Song in research and development.

After all, the facts are here.

"..."

Chen Zhong's face twitched, and he didn't speak. He regretted it more and more now. He didn't reuse Liang Song at the beginning, which caused Liang Song to leave Taiji Electric in a fit of anger.

Otherwise, TEC would not have to face the two challengers of Samsung Wafer and Weijing Semiconductor.

Already dominated the world!
"However, as far as I know, because Samsung Wafer has omitted the key node of the 20nm process, the yield rate of the 14nm process has not been high. I think Weijing Semiconductor will definitely face similar problems."

Seeing this, Jiang Yi hurried back to make amends.

"hope so!"

Chen Zhong was not optimistic.

Most realistically, Thai Electromechanical has just received a notice from Inaosui Group that Tai Electromechanical can only get half of the orders for the new generation of chips from Candle Dragon Technology.

Who gave the other half, you don't need to think about it.

This also means that following the loss of two major customers, Pingguo and Gaotong, Tai Electromechanical is about to face the risk of losing such a super large customer as Zhulong Technology.

If one operation is not good, it is possible to lose everything.

How to keep Chen Zhong from worrying?
"In this way, if you make another trip to Jiangxia, you must have a face-to-face communication with Liang Song to ensure that Zhulong Technology's orders will not continue to be taken away by Weijing Semiconductor, even if you agree to more stringent conditions."

Forced into a corner, Taiji Electric had no other choice.

"it is good!"

Thinking of going to the door to beg Liang Song, an old opponent, Jiang Yi felt very uncomfortable.

.........

Korea, Samsung headquarters.

"Axi!"

Upon receiving the news that Weijing Semiconductor had put into production 14nm chips, Li Rong, head of Samsung Young, was so angry that he scolded his mother, "Weijing Semiconductor is a thief who shamelessly stole our technology."

In Li Rong's view, the fundamental reason why Weijing Semiconductor was able to realize the leap from 28nm to 14nm in just two years is that Liang Song stole the technology of Samsung's wafer.

In addition, Li Rong does not make the second assumption.

"No, you can't just let Liang Song and Weijing Semiconductor go."

Li Rong immediately summoned the group's legal director, demanding that a new round of international arbitration be initiated against Liang Song personally, including Weijing Semiconductor, and that Weijing Semiconductor must be suppressed.

Venting emotions is still secondary, the key is not to threaten the status of Samsung wafers.

As the saying goes, my family knows my own affairs.

TEC was still kept in the dark at this time, but Li Rong knew that the advanced 14nm manufacturing process of Samsung Wafer was far from being mature. Apart from the low yield rate, there might be other hidden dangers.

Just because the chip has not been used on a large scale, no problems have been found yet.

But the thunder has always been there.

The question is only when it will explode, whether it will explode on Samsung mobile phones, or on Pingguo mobile phones.

Then why insist on putting it into production?

Because there is no choice for Samsung wafers at all, if it does not catch up with TEC and take the lead in announcing a breakthrough in the 14nm advanced process, it is very likely that it will not be able to catch up with TEC in the future.

Therefore, Samsung Wafer must take a gamble.

At least for now, Samsung is betting right and has successfully won a large number of orders from Pingguo and Gaotong.Thinking about it within Samsung, if this mine is just a dumb mine, wouldn’t it be a big profit?
Taking a step back, even if the future explodes, it will buy enough time for Samsung Wafer.

After all, by taking the "first" step, Samsung Wafer won the order from TEC. In a sense, it also performed a precise weakening operation on TEC.

This makes Samsung Wafer still have the opportunity to make up for the loopholes in the future.

As long as we take a step forward on the basis of the 14nm process, the so-called hidden dangers will actually be eliminated and will no longer exist.

For this reason, even offering Pingguo to the sky is acceptable.

But the problem now is that with Weijing Semiconductor breaking through the 14nm advanced process, the global chip foundry industry has gained another powerful player.

This is definitely not good news for Samsung Wafer.

therefore.

In any case, Samsung cannot just sit idly by and must act.

.........

In the face of the strong rise of Weijing Semiconductor, the two peers, Tai Electromechanical and Samsung Wafer, naturally feel the threat. Looking at the global semiconductor industry, this is actually a major benefit.

Because this means that the production capacity of high-end chips will usher in a new round of expansion.

It also means—

Huaxia is gradually becoming the hub of the global semiconductor industry.

This one.

But it will make many people uneasy, even unhappy.
