Chapter 165 The Pressure Enough to Overwhelm Sugon Technology

At this time, Lin Chen, who was relieved when he heard that Motorola did intend to sell the chip factory, was suddenly overjoyed.

Although this is only an 8-inch fab, it seems a bit weak compared to the 12-inch fab currently under construction at Zhongxin International.

But the problem is that what Motorola wants to sell is not just an 8-inch fab, but an 8-inch fab and its subsidiary semiconductor factory.

So this is a fairly complete chip factory, and owning it is equivalent to solving all the problems of self-production of chips.

So if Sugon Technology can take over this 8-inch wafer factory, it is equivalent to having its own complete chip factory.

Even if the wafer size and process technology of this chip factory lags behind the world, after all, it is impossible for the real good things to be approved by Medico, so don't treat the Wassena agreement as a piece of waste paper.

Therefore, the things that can be approved must be the world's second-rate or even third-rate backward technology and equipment.

But the problem is that there is a big difference between having and not having it. If you don’t have the confidence of a chip factory, you will always be weak, but if you have your own chip factory.

Even if his manufacturing technology lags behind the second and third generations in the world, once you have it, you will have enough confidence and be invincible.

So Sugon Technology urgently needs this chip factory, and it will be very difficult to have such a good opportunity next time.

It is impossible to prepare a ready-made chip factory for you all the time, and it is even rarer if the owner of the chip factory intends to sell it.

Therefore, Sugon Technology wants to have its own complete semiconductor factory in the next few years, and the eight-inch wafer factory in Tianjin and its affiliated factories are a rare opportunity!
"How much does it cost to package and sell it? Is there an amount?"

Lin Chen continued to ask about Rebus.

In this regard, Rebston showed a bitter smile and said:

"It's not optimistic, according to the information I have inquired, if you want to win the eight-inch fab and the attached semiconductor factory, you need to prepare at least 90 billion.

Of course, if you want to be safe, you may need to prepare 120 billion or 130 billion, but the exact amount is still unknown. "

Before, Lin Chen just casually asked Rebs to see if Motorola had any intention of selling the chip factory, so Rebs also sent someone to inquire.

However, because no decision has been made on whether to send a professional business negotiating team to the Motorola headquarters, it is still unknown how much Motorola will sell.

The only thing we know so far is that Motorola seems to really have the intention of selling it, and according to the publicly available information from Motorola.

Motorola's semiconductor project lost 2.84 million US dollars last year, so they do have the possibility of selling the 8-inch fab in Tianjin and the subsidiary semiconductor factory.

"At least 90 billion?! And if you want to be safe, you need to prepare 120 billion to 130 billion!"

Huang Hua next to Lin Chen took a sharp breath after hearing Rebs' answer.

At this time, Chen Dong beside Lin Chen also uttered his puzzled words:

"Is this chip factory so expensive? It's 90 billion. When will we earn so much money?!"

Hearing this, Huang Hua immediately agreed and said:

"Indeed, the total investment of 1200 million yuan in our new factory with an annual output of 3 million mobile phones is quite exaggerated, and there are only a handful of manufacturers in China who can afford such a large amount of money to build a mobile phone factory.

But now an 8-inch wafer factory and ancillary semiconductor factories cost 90 billion to start, and need 120 billion or even 130 billion to be safe!
Is the cost of producing chips by ourselves too high? Is it really necessary for us to get involved in the chip production industry?I think it is better to find someone to manufacture mobile phone chips.

And don't we have Zhongxin International in Daxia, we can hand over the foundry task of chips to them. "

Facing Huang Hua's flinching words, even Rebus couldn't help but nod at this moment.

Because with the current strength of Sugon Technology, let alone whether the 90 billion can be loaned, even if it can be loaned, how to repay it in the future is a big problem.

According to the current situation of Sugon Technology, even if the full production and sales are 122 million units per month in the future, the monthly income will be several hundred million yuan.

But after buying this chip factory, considering the development needs of Sugon Technology itself and the huge R&D expenditure, I am afraid that there will be no five or ten years to pay off this huge debt.

And buying a chip factory doesn't mean it's over. After you buy it, you have to find a way to turn losses into profits.

After all, they are always at a loss, and after you buy them, you must invest and find a way to turn losses into profits.

In this case, buying a chip factory does not mean the end, buying a chip factory also means bearing a huge burden!

Faced with such huge pressure, does Sugon Technology really need to enter the chip production industry?Can Sugon Technology really bear such a huge pressure?

Therefore, Huang Hua and even Rebs feel that maybe they should take a break first, and they can enter the chip production industry in the future, but with the current strength of Suguang Technology, they should take a break.

They believe that Sugon Technology should develop the mobile phone industry first, and wait for the future to achieve the level of strength of Motorola and Nokia.

It will not be a big deal to build such a chip factory at that time. Now if it is forced to start, it will only slow down the development speed of Suguang Technology!
"I support the boss."

Compared to Rebus and Huang Hua, Chen Dong was uncharacteristically supporting Lin Chen at this time.

"Huh? Chen Dong, this is a huge amount of money starting from 90 billion and requiring 120 billion or even 130 billion. Why do you still support it?"

Huang Hua watched his little friend move, and asked his puzzled words.

"I don't worry about having too many lions, and I don't feel itchy when I have too many debts. We really can't afford it now, but we can find a bank loan.

As for whether I can afford it, I trust the boss. "

"You are really confident."

Faced with the words of believing in Lin Chen, Huang Hua was also a little helpless.

However, thinking about the growth rate of Suguang Technology, and thinking about the fact that Lin Chen's series of decisions were absolutely correct, Huang Hua couldn't say anything against it at this time.

So Huang Hua, Rebus, Chen Dong, Li Qianqiang and other high-level executives all set their sights on Lin Chen, waiting for Lin Chen's decision.

In this regard, Lin Chen looked at people's betting eyes, and then recalled that he once said that he wanted to break the foreign technology monopoly and realize the dream of domestic substitution, and then showed a resolute smile:

"Although there will be a lot of pressure to bear in the next few years, in order to realize the dream of becoming a strong country, let's do our best. Someone must bear these."

"Yes."

Everyone who heard Lin Chen's words nodded lightly. Since Lin Chen had already decided to do it, they just had to do their best to do it well.
