Reborn in the red age

After resolving the funding issue, Li Qingfeng was completely free of worries. He drove his two children out for a few days of fun during the summer vacation.

As a teacher, Hu Jiabao should have the same holidays as students, but who can blame him? He is a teacher in a medical school.

In addition to being a teacher, she is also a doctor and has scientific research tasks issued by the school. She can be said to be a teacher, doctor, and scientist in one.
For Hu Jiabao, who has several jobs, there is naturally no such thing as winter and summer vacations.

Hu Jiabao used his own experience to prove the truth of the saying that if you persuade someone to study medicine, God will strike you.

After more than three months of installation, Huaxin finally completed the production line and started small-scale trial production.

When production started, Academician Wang, Ni Guangnan and others excitedly went to the workshop and watched the chip production process throughout, preparing for the arrival of the first domestically produced 1.5-micron chip.

Xu Yuanming also invited Li Qingfeng to go with him, but was rejected by Li Qingfeng.

Li Qingfeng said that he had no such a plot and he was not a person in the scientific research industry. It was very uncomfortable to enter a dust-free workshop and Li Qingfeng did not want to suffer this.

In Huaxin's office, Li Qingfeng took a close look at the freshly-made decoding chip, then put it on the table and asked Xu Yuanming about the production cost.

"It has not yet been mass-produced, so the specific yield rate cannot be estimated, and the cost is also impossible to calculate. If those little devils are not hiding anything, the cost should be about 20% higher than that of their old Japanese employers."

Without waiting for Li Qingfeng to ask, Xu Yuanming immediately added: "The wafer cost of each chip at their previous employer is about 180 yuan. Including production and packaging, the total cost of each chip is about yuan. The most ideal production cost here is yuan, which is equivalent to the foundry fee."

It is said to be equivalent to the OEM fee, but the actual cost is higher than the OEM fee. After all, the investment in the factory is not included in the cost.

Li Qingfeng, who understood the specific cost, nodded without comment. Not only did he not show any dissatisfaction on his face, he also praised Xu Yuanming highly.

He expressed his intention to increase investment and try to get everything out of these Japanese people's minds so as to train our own excellent front-line technicians at Huaxin.

In other words, Li Qingfeng knew the importance of the chip industry in the future and was willing to invest heavily in this industry, even if it meant losing money.

If it were other companies, once they calculated the cost, they might cancel their own production on the spot.

Damn it, we spent so much money to introduce production lines and build factories, and when we start formal production, you tell me that the cost of self-production is equivalent to the price of OEM? This is still the most ideal situation.

If the cost cannot be reduced, then why bother to produce it yourself? It is better to outsource it to others.

"I thought so too. We can tell whether something is capable or not once we start working on it. Those Japanese guys are really capable. If it weren't for them, our trial production would have been a joke," Xu Yuanming nodded in agreement.

Qingfeng Li raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's going on?"

"Hey, some workers transferred from domestic wafer fabs are no good. Their overall quality is not good and their learning ability is poor. They are okay during teaching, but they have many loopholes in actual operation. They almost ruined a batch of wafers. It is impossible to officially start production without a month," Xu Yuanming said helplessly.

Hearing Xu Yuanming's complaints, Li Qingfeng also felt a headache. Since his quality was not good enough, there was nothing he could do but teach him slowly.

These are the most experienced front-line workers in the country. Most of them were transferred from Wuxi Factory 742 and have experience in decoding chip production.

If even they are in this situation, let alone the front-line workers in other factories, they will definitely be worse than them if they were brought here.

Xu Yuanming saw that Li Qingfeng was frowning, and knew that there was nothing he could do, so he quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this, we can always train our front-line technicians slowly, I have something to tell you."

"you say"

"Our company's engineers want to design a domestically developed computer CPU and would like me to apply to you."

"No, we can make any chip, but not computer CPU, at least not now." Before Xu Yuanming could finish his words, Li Qingfeng interrupted him.

What a joke! Lemon Company and Intel are now in a fierce competition. One of them is engaged in systems and the other is engaged in CPUs. They have formed a solid alliance in the computer field and are truly brother units.

What's more, without Intel, the main force that helps Lemon Company resist the threat, if Intel finds out that Lemon Company has stabbed the other party in the back, the alliance between the two parties formed for the sake of interests will immediately fall apart.

By then, Intel will do whatever it takes to destroy Lemon's operating system in order to become the main force against Lemon.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. This is a universal rule all over the world.

People who want everything are destined to get nothing.

Seeing Li Qingfeng's firm attitude, Xu Yuanming said awkwardly: "What do Academician Wang and his team say? Everyone is very enthusiastic about computer CPUs, and I don't know how many discussions have been held."

"Tell them that Huaxin must not make CPUs." Li Qingfeng paused, thinking that this might be a bit harsh, so he changed his tone and said:

"If they are determined to do it, they can use Huaxin's equipment under confidentiality, but they need to find a way to solve the research and development funds themselves. Huaxin will not provide them with any funds for CPU research and development."

"That's hopeless. After our company entered the chip field, it was said that the country cut its investment in the chip industry, and half of the money was diverted to other places. They can't get the research and development funds," Xu Yuanming shrugged and said with a smile.

"."

This was the first time Qingfeng Li had heard about the investment in the compressed chip industry, and he immediately asked Xu Yuanming for details.

"This is what Academician Wang said when we were chatting. The details are..."

It turned out that at an internal meeting to support the chip industry this year, a leader from the Machinery Department pointed out that Lemon Company was wealthy and would definitely invest large amounts of money in the semiconductor industry in the future.

Once Huaxin has mastered the 1.5-micron technology, it will definitely continue to invest in 0.8 or 1-micron chip production lines.

Therefore, there is no need for the national treasury to continue to invest large amounts of money to avoid wasting funds.

After discussion, a group of leaders felt that this proposal made sense, so they reduced the funding for the 908 Project, which was to be implemented this year, by more than half, from billion to million.

After hearing the details, Li Qingfeng laughed so hard that tears came out. OK, OK, OK, you are indeed a leader. You are good at calculating.
Since Academician Wang was destined to fail to apply for national funds, Li Qingfeng felt relieved and told Xu Yuanming that if Academician Wang and his team gave up the research and development of CPU and switched to other research and development projects, he could approve more funds for them.

After a while, Xu Yuanming reported to Li Qingfeng the movements of Academician Wang and his team. Faced with the reality of no funding, Academician Wang and his team switched to researching communication chips. Li Qingfeng was very satisfied with the result. Communication chips were also a top priority project. He immediately doubled the research and development funds they reported.

"Brother, you must give me the first batch of domestically produced decoding chips. I want to use our own products as soon as possible."

After the production line started trial production, Wang Weimin, who got the news, rushed back from Wuxi in person to do Li Qingfeng's work, hoping to get the supply of domestically produced chips as soon as possible.

Sitting down in front of Wang Weimin, Li Qingfeng personally poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "You don't want to use your own things right away, you want to save foreign exchange, right?"

"Hey, I can't hide anything from you. The VCD market in Southeast Asia is now dominated by state-owned enterprises. The DVD players produced by our factory cannot be sold abroad, and we are really short of foreign exchange." After listening to Li Qingfeng pointing out his thoughts, Wang Weimin scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Having already known Wang Weimin's current situation from Chen Defa, Li Qingfeng sighed pretentiously: "I have plenty of foreign exchange, you know that, but you don't tell me. It seems that we haven't been together often in the past few years, and our relationship has become estranged."

"How is that possible? You are my brother. I can be estranged from anyone but you. It's not like I don't have ways to exchange large amounts of foreign currency privately. I can just exchange some privately. I don't want to trouble you with such a small matter," Wang Weimin explained quickly with a red face.

"Okay, I was just kidding you, why are you so anxious?"

“No rush”

"Then why are you blushing?"

“I’m like this when I’m anxious.”

After joking for a while, Li Qingfeng said seriously: "Weimin, after the decoding chips are made in China, it is impossible to give all the chips to you. I plan to open up the domestic DVD player market and let more people join in. At that time, I may compete with you."

In the past, in order to support Wang Weimin, Li Qingfeng did not open up chip sales to other manufacturers except the state-owned enterprises in the Special Administrative Region.

The other products of DVD players can be said to be Wang Weimin’s only business in China before, with no competitors at all.

Now that Huaxin has started production and the country has the ability to mass-produce decoding chips, it is naturally impossible to let Wang Weimin continue to run this unique business.

"Brother, I understand. I have been doing this unique business for several years. I can't keep doing it forever, right? I am mentally prepared for this." Wang Weimin seemed to be mentally prepared. Hearing these words, he was not surprised at all and agreed immediately.

"Okay, as long as you don't blame me."

"That's impossible. If I blame you, then what kind of person would I be?"

After agreeing that the chips produced by Huaxin would be supplied to Wang Weimin first, Li Qingfeng called Hu Jiabao and Ma Wenhui and asked them to take a leave and leave work early so that they could have a good time together in the evening.

When Wang Weimin saw a pager on Li Qingfeng's car, he was a little surprised and said, "Why are you still using a pager? Nowadays, anyone with a little status uses a mobile phone. It's the standard for rich people."

As he spoke, he took out a brick-sized object from his bag. It was the standard mobile phone for big bosses these days.

Even though the call quality of a mobile phone is poor and intermittent, requiring one to shout at the top of one's voice for the other party to hear, it is expensive. A machine costs 20,000 yuan, and there is also a 6,000 yuan network access fee. It is definitely a luxury item these days.

If you hold a mobile phone and shout in the crowd: "Hello! Hello! I can't hear you clearly, please say it again." you will immediately attract countless envious eyes.

Glancing at the other person's mobile phone, Li Qingfeng waved his hand: "It's good to use a pager. I can just put it in my pocket when I go out. Mobile phones are too heavy. I'm too lazy to carry a bag when I go out."

"Hey, you don't understand this, do you? Who puts a cell phone in their bag when they go out? You hold it in your hand like I do. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of money to buy such an expensive thing?"

At this point, Wang Weimin may feel that he has not highlighted the role of mobile phones in business, and then added: "Besides, it is also necessary for business talks. This mobile phone is a symbol of status. When you go out to eat, drink tea, and discuss business, you put it on the table, and it will be a bargaining chip for wealth. Business negotiations will also be much easier. People will know at a glance that you are capable."

"Forget it, I'm not as ostentatious as you, and I don't need to rely on a mobile phone to negotiate business."

"Look at what you said, how can you be ostentatious? Clothes make the man, and if you hold a mobile phone in your hand, everyone will know that you are worth a lot of money. It will be very convenient for you to go out and do things. You should buy one too. Once you buy one, you will know the benefits of this thing."

"That's right. Once your mobile phone appears, robbers and thieves will know that a fat sheep is coming."

"."

Before going home, Wang Weimin said that he hadn't seen Chuyi and Chushi for a long time and wanted to buy gifts for the two children. He directed Li Qingfeng to drive the car to Xidan.

Entering Xidan Street, Wang Weimin was dressed in a neat suit, with a small leather bag tucked under his arm and a mobile phone in his hand. He looked like a typical nouveau riche and attracted a lot of attention.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Qingfeng Li regretted going out with him.
They were shopping as they walked, carrying large and small bags of children's products. If Li Qingfeng hadn't stopped them, Wang Weimin would have bought a lot more.

At Li Qingfeng's house, it was Ma Wenhui who opened the door. Seeing the two people carrying bags on their arms, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, Wang Weimin, you bought out the whole store. Why did you buy so much?"

"Hey, there are so many children here. Please take it. It's tiring to carry this thing," said Wang Weimin as he rushed into the house.

“I have a little money but I’m wasting it”

Ma Wenhui curled her lips, waited for Li Qingfeng to come in, and then closed the door heavily.

At this time, Hu Jiabao had not returned yet, and Cai Genhua had just gone out to pick up the children from school. Only Ma Wenhui's son Lele was left in the room, crawling around on the carpet.

Wang Weimin put down what he was holding, smiled and walked over to pick up Lele and said, "Son, Daddy is back, call me Daddy."

"."

Looking at Wang Weimin who was courting death, Li Qingfeng shook his head and subconsciously moved away from Wang Weimin to avoid accidental injury.

Sure enough, just as Wang Weimin finished speaking, a gust of wind blew past Li Qingfeng's face, followed by a crisp slap.

"You bastard, is that your son?" (End of this chapter)
