Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2017: Focus on Chips

Yin Chengcai immediately went offline after saying this. Ji Donglai wanted to speak, but there was no sound from the other end. In the end, Ji Donglai called Dai Fengxian, but no one answered.

It wasn't until a day later that the police called.

"Mr. Ji, can you cooperate with the investigation? We found that the last call was made by you. I hope you can provide useful information. Thank you!"

The person in charge of the case was very polite. Ji Donglai did not hide anything and told the other party what time he would call, but changed the reason to a financial issue. Dai Fengxian had passed away, and there was no evidence to prove anything, so Ji Donglai was not worried.

"Forget it, never mind. If it rains, it will rain, and if it rains, it will rain. Let it go... Mr. Feng, how are our preparations going? Mr. Zhao, are all the funds in place?"

The winter jasmine flowers on the street are in bloom. Ji Donglai shook his head and threw all his worries away, turning his attention back to work. Zhao Shuying took the lead in starting to report.

"All foreign funds have been recovered. Our early investment in wafers has begun to bear fruit. Now 12-inch wafer rods have the largest output. Domestic orders have continued to rise in the first quarter, exceeding the same period last year by more than 30%. 8-inch wafers are also growing synchronously."

"Our company's second chip foundry production line is being arranged and is expected to be completed by the end of this month. We have received foundry applications from more than 12 domestic companies, mainly focusing on unmanned driving, big data computing, simulation equipment, including drones and various remote equipment."

"Three European and American agencies want to help us with certification in related industries. They hope that we can provide core information and also require us to provide information on patents. In addition, we have received lawsuits from 11 foreign companies regarding chip patents. We have responded to three cases and ignored the rest."

"Huawei's new phone is out, and they asked us to manufacture new chips. The contract has been received. This is all the information about chips in the first quarter of this year."

Zhao Shuying summarized all the information on the big screen, and Ji Donglai watched with squinted eyes.

Xin Li projected the recent bills by European and American countries to restrict the export of wafer equipment and core chips to Asia, as well as an announcement from the world's largest manufacturer to stop manufacturing domestic ARM chips.

Especially for Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, because of the dirty tricks between the two companies, the other party’s announcement specifically talked about Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, reminding customers that the necessary ARM components are missing on the PCB of Yinyang Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing.

"Mr. Feng, your information!"

Basically, everything was within Ji Donglai's expectations. As for the certification issue, Ji Donglai was almost too lazy to open it. They were all a bunch of useless people who were just lying there sucking blood, especially some so-called associations, which would just send the logo over after paying and just stick it on randomly. Some domestic manufacturers treated this as a treasure. Ji Donglai, who had made a fortune in his two lives, turned his attention to Feng Chunbao.

"Inside the company, the printer has broken through all process nodes related to 5nm, and the third line will all adopt related processes. The first two processes are mainly focused on 12nm and 8nm process technologies."

"The core network of the R&D center has been attacked five times recently. The chip department of the R&D center has adopted the latest firewall and it is recommended to adopt a silent zone around the core factory."

"Five core engineers in the R&D center recently requested to resign. One of them has lost contact. We suspect that he has been kidnapped. We are assisting relevant parties in handling the matter. Overall production will not be affected."

Feng Chunbao finished speaking and projected his information source onto the big screen. Ji Donglai squinted his eyes at the information in front of him. Especially the disappearance of his core scientist could be a big deal or a small deal. At this critical time, salary and benefits are definitely not the key factor. Combined with the incidents of Kan Changshun and Yin Chengcai, Ji Donglai had a bad guess in his mind.

"Recently, all personnel in the R&D center have been quarantined and are not allowed to go out! In addition, all chip production is running at full capacity, and wafer cutting is done at full capacity. We cannot let our domestic counterparts go hungry because of us."

"There are two meetings we need to attend recently. Mr. Feng will come along if necessary. Now we need to focus on production first and don't worry about the rest!"

There is a global shortage of chips, especially high-end chips. Ji Donglai must take this opportunity to expand his industry.

"Boss Ji, Boss Li has already made some progress with his new chip, but our customers don't recognize it..."

Zhao Shuying talked about the fact that the glass chip that Ji Donglai spent a lot of effort to make has very low market recognition. The inertia of customer thinking makes these people believe that silicon panels are the best material for all chips.

Now the glass chip made by Ji Sanchuan is just a gimmick, and even some experts in the industry have concluded that Ji Donglai is just a scam.

"All our equipment uses new chips. Even if others don't, we do! All the chips used in the Qatar project and the Riyadh project have been removed and replaced with glass chips. We must first have confidence in our products."

"All control panels at Xinyu Machine Tool are made of new glass printing, and the panels and chips are printed in an integrated mode. If you still can't come up with an idea for unmanned driving... Mr. Zhao, find a new energy vehicle company to acquire it, and we will try to do unmanned driving ourselves."

"Everything has a first step. In addition, our drones, unmanned submarines, and various cutting-edge equipment will all be equipped with glass chips. All future chips and circuit boards will be printed as a whole, so that the entire device does not have a single solder joint, only external interfaces!"

When it comes to his glass chip, Ji Donglai is angry but not worried.

Especially in the current situation of severe shortage of 5G chips, Ji Donglai directly launched a new one-yuan mobile phone and sold it simultaneously around the world.

Ultra-thin mobile phone body, from battery to circuit board, all in printing mode.

The whole device is made of flexible materials, including glass and screen. A thin graphene battery is printed on the body, which truly achieves the goal of no solder joints.

All circuits are also graphene connectors, and there is only a layer of insulating glass between the battery. The high-definition screen is a flowing screen. The whole machine can use an external camera or a built-in lens, and it is a fully somatosensory design.

The pressure-sensitive power generation design is also used on this mobile phone for the first time, which means that people can charge the graphene battery while playing with the phone. Especially when playing LuLaLu, people's fingers keep pressing the screen to charge more.

This invention ensures the maximum battery life of the mobile phone. Even when people are walking, as long as there is pressure on the phone body, the phone will charge the battery.
