Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chen Pingjiang feels that the entanglement with Uber will not last too long, and the situation will be easier after planting nails in the North American and Southeast Asian markets.

Now we just need to be careful in defense.

However, Yan Yan's sharpness this afternoon gave Chen Pingjiang a headache.

The very next day, he arranged to find Ge Mengshi a new place to live.

I thought I would encounter some resistance, but Ge Mengshi was unexpectedly reasonable and immediately took her family back to the Ge family villa.

This made Chen Pingjiang very moved.

When I saw Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong again, they were still in high spirits, but their excited expressions were somewhat tired.

Chen Pingjiang patted the backs of the elders' hands with concern: "Work is important, but getting enough rest is more important."

Liang Mengsong waved his hand nonchalantly: "Time is very tight. We started late and are far behind our competitors. How can we not hurry up? The longer you delay, the greater the financial pressure you will face. You can't let your sincere Chinese chip go to waste."

Zhang Rujing also smiled and nodded: "Lao Liang and I are still strong, so it won't be a problem for us to hold on for a few more years."

"Don't think I'm talking too much." Chen Pingjiang disagreed: "Even if it's not for your own sake, you have to think about Huaxin. If you two collapse due to exhaustion, and the reserve team is not trained, and I don't understand the chip industry, Huaxin will have no choice but to go bankrupt. Therefore, the great man taught us that the body is the capital of revolution, and this is not without reason."

Zhang Rujing and Liang Mengsong looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

But Chen Pingjiang didn’t know whether he could listen to it or not.

In just less than two years, Zhang and Liang have done twice as much as they did when they were preparing for SMIC.

Team building, factory construction, machine introduction, factory trial production, yield control, daily management, technology research and development...

I chewed them all one by one.

This is partly because they don't want to bear the blame and let Chen Pingjiang's earnest expectations go unfulfilled, and partly because they want to catch up with TSMC.

This is the second time Chen Pingjiang has come after Huaxin officially went into production.

The last time I came, there were very few people in the factory.

Elder Liang said excitedly, "After a long period of research, we have found a way to improve the yield rate of the method you told me before, making multiple exposures possible."

In fact, multiple exposure is not a new term. TSMC has done it before, but eventually gave up due to yield issues. In addition, the continuous updating and iteration of lithography machines has made multiple exposure meaningless.

But the newly applied quadruple exposure patent technology is very meaningful to Huaxin International!

"At present, we can achieve a yield rate of 40% in the 83.7nm process. Although there is still a gap between TSMC and Samsung, it is generally controllable. According to my and Lao Zhang's estimates, the final yield rate can reach about 92%." Liang Mengsong said: "But the 28nm process is difficult. It's not that we can't do it, but the yield rate is too low. There is also a gap in performance with TSMC's 28nm products, which makes it impossible to mass produce."

Chen Pingjiang is very satisfied with the current progress.

How long has Huaxin been in production?

"It's already great to be able to mass produce 40 nanometers. At least we can handle many orders for mature products. I think SMIC would be scared to death if they heard about our R&D progress, haha."

After so many years, SMIC can only mass produce 45/40 nanometers...

40 nanometers is widely used in this era.

Including but not limited to memory, consumer electronics, smart terminals, Internet of Things, industrial automation, edge computing, Internet, automobiles, consumer products and AR/VR, etc.

Apart from anything else, the orders from companies under Chen Pingjiang's name alone can fill up the first phase of Huaxin.

Orange mobile phone, Orange pad, DJI drone, BYD car, Orange smart home...

What makes Chen Pingjiang even more excited is that the multiple exposure technology is not a one-time deal, but a magical tool that can be used all the way down to 7 nanometers.

It will last for at least 20 years.

With so much time to prepare, the chances of winning will be much greater.

"What we need to do now is to increase production capacity and strive to reach the goal of producing 100,000 tablets per month in the shortest possible time." Chen Pingjiang nodded: "Just let me know if you need anything from me, Elders."

Zhang Rujing smiled and said, "It's the same old problem. Old Liang and I have a small talk. We need you to make suggestions to the higher-ups to pave the way for domestic materials as soon as possible."

"That's not a problem. I've already started it. A national chip fund has been established and preparations have been completed recently. The next step is to support the domestic chip industry chain, especially focusing on several technologies that are monopolized by foreign countries, such as lithography machines or photoresists."

Mr. Liang sighed: "The photolithography machine is difficult. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have to work so hard on research and development."

Outsiders may not know the value of the lithography machine, but people in the industry can certainly understand it, as it is almost equivalent to an industrial mother machine.

Without this thing, you can't make it.

And domestic lithography machines are just getting started...

When he arrived at the factory office building, Chen Pingjiang was surprised to find a slogan hanging on the gate: "Work hard for 90 days, target yield rate %!"

Mr. Zhang smiled and explained: "This was arranged by the factory office. It has a very local style."

Mr. Liang also nodded: "As long as the yield rate reaches 90%, there is hope for mass production, at least we won't suffer losses."

The current product yield is only 83.7%. If we force production, the cost will definitely not be controlled.

The same is true for the chips used by Huawei in later generations.

The higher the yield, the greater the profit.

However, at this time, Chen Pingjiang's advantages were revealed.

Other companies don’t dare to use products with this high yield, but he dares to use it.

It’s great just to support Huaxin Factory.

As long as the product performance is not compromised a lot, it doesn't matter.

Isn’t this how Huawei came to be?

The first mobile phone that Yu Chengdong launched after taking over the terminal business used a quad-core processor produced by HiSilicon.

That's a piece of rubbish...

Doesn’t Huawei know the risks of doing this?

But I did it anyway.

If we do not support our own enterprises but instead outsource them, then when will our own enterprises be able to get off the ground?
It is Huawei's actions that have created the future of HiSilicon.

Huawei knows these principles, so how could Chen Pingjiang not know them?

After staying in Huaxin for half a day, Chen Pingjiang went directly to the Shanghai Municipal Government to continue asking for land and to actually invest in the construction of Huaxin Phase II.

Increase production capacity as soon as possible.

How can 100,000 pieces per month be enough with just one phase?

The sales volume of Orange mobile phones alone is over 20 million units a year, not including products from other companies.

Naturally, the Shanghai authorities were happy about Chen Pingjiang's request.

They are eager for Chen Pingjiang to increase production capacity step by step.

The news that Huaxin wafer factory has started initial production has also been learned in Shanghai.

The opening of the dual channels of SMIC and Huaxin will be enough to make Shanghai the city of chips in China. (End of this chapter)
