Chapter 360 Outdated Production Line
Yang Dongsheng flew directly from Europe to the United States, and the staff who stayed in the United States picked up Yang Dongsheng at the airport.

As soon as he got in the car, the person came and said, "Mr. Yang, I have something to report to you. Recently, many people have come to compete with us for business!"

"Business snatching? Who are you talking about snatching those abandoned factories from us?"

"There are American ones, as well as domestic ones! The factories that we could get without spending money, are now fired up! Even the partners who originally negotiated with us have stopped negotiating! Mr. Yang, we are Aren't you going to increase the price?"

"Don't make money with them!" Yang Dongsheng waved his hand, "They are willing to seek death, let them do!"

This was something that had been expected a long time ago. When Yang Dongsheng used land reclamation to contract coal mines in Guazhou, a group of people followed him to make noise.

It's the same situation now. Seeing that Yang Dongsheng did it easily, they followed suit.

Let them compete. In the future, they will beg Yang Dongsheng.

The staff who stayed in the United States have gained a lot during this period, various machine tools, industrial furnaces, and testing equipment, testing equipment...

However, Yang Dongsheng came to the United States from Europe on purpose not to see these things. Those who stayed in the United States recently got a batch of semiconductor production lines.

In the 90s, the Japanese semiconductor industry rose, and the US semiconductor industry suffered an unprecedented impact.

Semiconductor manufacturing is a high-tech industry, but it is also a highly polluting industry.

When refining silicon, various acids are used; processes such as etching and cleaning use xylene, acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and carbon tetrafluoride; packaging requires electroplating... all of which will cause pollution.

Yang Dongsheng came to the nearest factory, where there is a 4-inch wafer production line with a 1.5-micron process.

Yang Dongsheng looked at the lithography machine, which was still made in Japan.

1990年IBM联合西门子建立了世界上第一个8寸晶圆厂，到90s中期，全球8英寸晶圆厂已经达到70座，4英寸晶圆厂已经已经远远落后于时代。

At the end of the 80s, the manufacturing process of the Intel 486 chip had reached 0.8 micron, and the 1.5 micron process was more than two generations behind the current most advanced technology in the United States.

It was precisely because of the backwardness and the bad location of the factory that no one made money with Yang Dongsheng.

For a long time, the U.S. semiconductor industry has a well-established rule that the technology transferred to China must be at least two generations behind.

It's just that this invisible rule was later stated openly during the golden retriever's term of office, which turned a dark move into a clear move.

Our country is always used to aiming at the world's advanced level, like the Yun-[-], which aims at the international mainstream models as soon as it comes up.

Of course it is good to be ambitious, but everything is done step by step. Even Mr. Ren's company started from an agent's switch at the beginning.

If we hadn’t directly boarded a large aircraft for our original Yun-[-] project, but instead developed a regional airliner for our country’s vast territory and inconvenient transportation at that time, the result would definitely have been a different scene.

Yang Dongsheng is now targeting a "regional airliner" project. Not only computers and mobile phones use semiconductors, but household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners also use semiconductors. The semiconductors they use are called "power semiconductors."

Power semiconductors do not have high requirements on the manufacturing process, the technical difficulty is relatively low, and breakthroughs are relatively easy.

China will soon become the world's largest producer of home appliances, and it's a huge market.

There are also various sensors and industrial control chips, which do not require too high a process.

In addition, there are aviation and aerospace. Of course, this market is not something that Yang Dongsheng can enter if he wants to.

Moreover, Yang Dongsheng also has a way to greatly improve the manufacturing process of existing equipment.

The current lithography machines are all dry. If Yang Dongsheng can change these dry lithography machines into immersion ones in advance and refract light with water, it will not only narrow the gap with the world's advanced technology. With this technology, future It can also occupy a place in the lithography machine market.

Yang Dongsheng directly split the semiconductor sector into IC design, ingot, fab, packaging and testing, etc. As long as one of these parts can succeed, Yang Dongsheng's semiconductor plan will be considered a success.

Yang Dongsheng also looked at the printed circuit board production line. Printed circuit boards need to be plated with copper, nickel, gold, and tin, which will generate a lot of pollution.

Now this is also high-tech. Yang Dongsheng’s mobile phone, which has no signal outside the urban area, is terribly expensive. The reason is that we cannot produce the corresponding printed circuit boards.

Yang Dongsheng is considering whether to enter the mobile phone industry directly or cooperate with other manufacturers.

But the most troublesome thing now is that Yang Dongsheng doesn't have anyone who engages in semiconductors.

Domestic semiconductor talents are extremely scarce, and the only talents are either in research institutions or in companies that are particularly valued by those countries.

If Yang Dongsheng dared to attack these people, he was afraid that someone would come to his door tomorrow.

The only way is to recruit from outside, but the semiconductor industry is different from the previous metallurgy and machinery manufacturing industries.

Those industries are sunset industries for the United States. A lot of people are unemployed, talent is easy to recruit, and wages are low. Give them twice their previous wages and they will be willing to work in China.

The semiconductor industry is booming. At this time, students majoring in semiconductors in various universities in the United States are booked up by companies such as Intel, Motorola, and Texas Instruments before they graduate, and they are all paid well.

Yang Dongsheng tried to dig, but the difficulty was too great, so he could only aim at another place—Taiwan.

Yang Dongsheng contacted several major headhunting companies in the United States, and with their help, he recruited people in Taiwan with twice the salary.

There is also South Korea. In this era, Samsung and Hyundai's semiconductor industry have been losing money, and the wages of personnel engaged in semiconductor research and development may not be high.

There is also pharmaceutical equipment.

Yang Dongsheng plans to produce generic drugs and Chinese patent medicines whose patents have expired.

The migraine medicine that Yang Dongsheng took to treat migraine is still a big pack of traditional Chinese medicine, so it's not too much trouble to take it.

According to the doctor, it is an ancient prescription.

Yang Dongsheng is going to collect such prescriptions and apply for a patent as soon as possible. If he doesn't apply, he is afraid that he will be applied by the Japanese in the future.

While he was busy with work, someone suddenly came to report that the people from Shen's Iron and Steel Plant wanted to see him.

"The two great blessings in life are meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land. I never expected to meet them today!" Mr. Shen said enthusiastically as soon as he came up.

"Boss Shen met a lot of old friends during this time, right?" Yang Dongsheng looked at him coldly.

The Shen family has been dishonest during this period of time.
