The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

Chapter 46 43: Shortage

"I have time in the afternoon, please ask that person to contact me." Han Chen replied.

"Okay, that's it." Zhang Jianxin hung up the phone after saying that.

At this time, Shi Ming's mother came over with a bowl of hot beef egg noodles.

She bought this beef from the vegetable market when she came here.

"Brother Chen, hurry up and eat the fresh and hot beef egg noodles. If the noodles are cold, they won't taste good." Shi Ming's mother said with a smile.

Shi Ming's mother looked at Han Chen as if she were her own son.

Shi Ming's mother's face was so kind.

"Thank you, Shi Ma." Han Chen replied.

Han Chen picked up the noodles, blew on them and ate them in one bite. I have to say that the noodles made by Shi Ming's mother were very appetizing.

[Han Chen: Miss Tong, I am in Shenzhen City now and I am in urgent need of a group of capable talents. Does your company do business in Shenzhen City? 】

The gutter oil and human cub exterminator projects are about to be launched.

But Han Chen doesn't have anyone available yet. If he can't recruit people to run these projects, he will have to do it himself.

So he thought of Tong Jingjing, who had helped him recruit people far away in the capital.

[Tong Jingjing: Our company has a branch in Shenzhen City. I wonder what kind of talents Mr. Han needs? 】

In less than 3 minutes, Tong Jingjing replied to Han Chen's text message.

[Han Chen: I need to recruit a sales manager with experience in selling electronic components.

Two factory directors with experience in operating chemical plants.

One is mainly responsible for the management and operation of the gutter oil refinery, and the other is responsible for managing the factory that produces shelters.

In addition, a team with sales experience in avoiding x traps is also needed. It is best for this team to have international sales experience. 】

[Tong Jingjing: Mr. Han, what is gutter oil? 】

[Han Chen: It is to use food residues to refine industrial waste oil. My project is supported by the city and is legal. 】

The issue of gutter oil has not yet emerged, and Tong Jingjing is unfamiliar with this term, so Han Chen specifically emphasized the legality of the project.

Some people in the industry may know about gutter oil, but if it is illegal, I believe some people are unwilling to do it.

[Tong Jingjing: I wonder when Mr. Han will need these people to come to work? 】

[Han Chen: Of course, the sooner you can get started, the better. I will sign a contract with the city this afternoon. These projects need to be started immediately.

By the way, recruit me a more capable secretary.

I need real material, preferably someone who has worked in a think tank. 】

[Tong Jingjing: I will sort out your needs and send them to my colleagues in Shenzhen City. If you have something to do this afternoon, I will ask them to contact you tomorrow. 】

[Han Chen: Okay. 】

The input method at this time was not as smart as that of later generations, and Han Chen was eating a bowl of noodles.

Han Chen put the bowl aside and turned on the computer.

Han Chen turned on his computer and searched for the phone number of TSMC's office in China.

If EDA wants to go online, it must make an accelerator card.

Currently, TSMC’s 28-nanometer process is the most advanced technology on the market, and it is most suitable to use the 28-nanometer process to produce accelerator cards.

The system is already equipped with accelerator card drawings from 90 nanometers to 1 nanometers. You only need to submit the corresponding drawings to the foundry for production.

After a thousand searches, Han Chen found the phone number of TSMC’s Beijing office.

"beep beep beep"

Han Chen lit a cigarette and called TSMC.

"Hello, this is TSMC's China office. How can I help you?" A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

The voice on the other side sounded a bit like a Taiwanese girl.

I love Taiwanese girls, Taiwanese girls love me, Lin Chiling is nothing to me.
Cough cough, crossed the stage.

"Hello, I'm from Shenzhen Deep Blue Network. Our company needs to OEM a batch of chips." Han Chen said.

"Sir, how many nanometer chips do you need to manufacture?" the Taiwanese girl asked.

"I need to OEM 28nm chips." Han Chen replied.

"Sir, the current 28nm chips have been scheduled for August. I wonder if you can accept that they will be produced after August?" said the Taiwanese girl.Han Chen frowned involuntarily when he heard August.

It's only early March now.

That means it will take five months to produce.

Han Chen decided to ask first and then ask Samsung.

"Okay, I wonder how much the tape-out fee is for you?" Han Chen asked.

“The price of a single-layer mask is between US$[-] and US$[-]. This depends on the cost of chip transistors and how many layers of masks are required.

This requires seeing your chip drawing to confirm the price.

I can have our account manager contact you if you need it. "The Taiwanese girl replied.

"139xxxxxx, ask your account manager to contact me." Han Chen said.

"Sir, we have recorded your phone number. It is 139xxxxx, right? Sir, what is your surname? When can you easily contact me?" the Taiwanese girl said with a sweet smile.

"My surname is Han, please contact me tomorrow afternoon." Han Chen said.

While Han Chen was on the phone, Shi Ming's mother quietly took the bowl away.

"Okay, Mr. Han, I will arrange for the staff to contact you during working hours tomorrow afternoon. If there is nothing else, you can hang up first." The Taiwanese girl said.

After hanging up the phone, Han Chen searched the Internet for Samsung Semiconductor's phone number.

"Hello, this is Samsung Semiconductor. How can I help you?"

The customer service person who answered the phone at Samsung was a boy, but he had a slight Funan accent, so I knew he was from Funan.

"I would like to ask when is your 28nm foundry schedule?"

"Sir, you want to OEM 28nm chips, right?"

"Yes."

“We are now scheduled until the end of August, if you can reach an agreement with us now.

The production period will begin on August 8th. "

"How do you charge for tape-out?"

"It depends on how many layers of masks your chip needs to be made. The price of the mask is between US$[-] and US$[-].

The specific price depends on the number of transistors. "

"My phone number is 139xxxxx. Please arrange for a salesperson to contact me and contact me tomorrow morning."

"Okay, sir, we have written down your contact information. Your contact information is 139xxxx, right? Could you please sir, which company does your surname belong to?"

In order to provide you with better service, I need to make a note. "

"My surname is Han, from Shenzhen Deep Blue Network Company."

"Okay, Mr. Han, I have recorded your information. If there is nothing else, you can hang up the phone first."

Han Chen hung up the phone after speaking.

The codename of the accelerator card chip is Shining Stars, and this chip is more complex than Intel's CPU.

The entire chip requires a total of 113 layers of masks to complete its production.

The number of transistors is also the largest.

113 layers requires a mask production cost of 339 million, and this is just the mask production cost.

If other expenses are included, the tape-out cost will be at least US$500 million.

In fact, the price is already very cheap.

Tape-out costs will increase exponentially after 28 nanometers.

22nm requires 800 million.

14nm requires 1500 million.

7nm requires 3000 million.

5nm requires 7000 million.

The more advanced the process, the higher the cost of tape-out.
