Rebirth Starts From 2006

Thursday, September 11,

Today's weather is fine, it is a memorable day,

Shanghai Dongjiao Hotel, two kilometers away from Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park, is a five-star hotel opened in 1995. Many large companies nearby will choose this location for their activities.

Shang Wei is no exception.

In a large conference room, Zhong Ruilin, general manager of Feihong Supply Chain, and Mr. Yuan, general manager of Heshang Micro, signed their names on the formal agreement, then exchanged the signatures of the agreement, and then printed the company's official seal.

From this moment on, Feihong Supply Chain Company officially became the third largest shareholder of Shangwei Electronics.

Well, actually the second largest,

Because other shareholders are a family, regardless of each other.

At the moment when Mr. Zhong and Mr. Yuan exchanged agreements and shook hands tightly, there was warm applause from below.

On such occasions, the leader's speech is naturally indispensable.

Today, a deputy leader of the city government attended the signing ceremony in person, which can be regarded as high-standard treatment,

Under the guidance of the host, he walked up to the rostrum, took out the speech prepared by the secretary in his pocket, helped the microphone, and said seriously,

"Today is an unusual day,

Why do you say that, because, in 2002, after we founded Shangwei Equipment Co., Ltd. for the rise of the national semiconductor industry, it was the first time that private capital invested in this field after six years.

This significance is extraordinary, and it shows that our way is not alone. On the road of developing national industry, not only state-owned assets are carrying forward with heavy burdens, but also national capital like Feihong will work together with us to write a brilliant chapter. .

…

Finally, I wish Shangwei Equipment Co., Ltd. to forge ahead, live up to high expectations, and make its due contribution to the rise of our national industry! "

huh huh huh...

There was a lot of applause,

Afterwards, Mr. Zhong and Mr. Yuan made speeches respectively,

Chen Yang and Huang Shan were always sitting under the stage, as if they were just spectators.

But after all, he is the protagonist today, and he has been the center of the venue since the signing ceremony, even after the deputy leader arrived.

It wasn't until the signing ceremony was over that the deputy leader who had a good chat with Boss Chen left happily.

The rest is naturally the stage for Shang Wei and Boss Chen.

Mr. Yuan took a glass of champagne from the dining table, walked up to Chen Yang, raised his glass with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, I would like to toast you for your optimism about our semiconductor business."

Chen Yang raised his glass lightly, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, you are being polite. We are just investing some money. We need a practical person like you to start a specific business!"

After drinking the wine in the glass, Mr. Yuan looked at his old friend who came over, Mr. Wu, the chairman of Zhanrui Company, then looked at Chen Yang, and said with a sigh,

"In fact, as early as the 1970s, seniors such as Wang Yangyuan of the Semiconductor Research Group of the Department of Physics of Peking University designed the first batch of three types of 1KDRAM dynamic random access memory in my country.

It was five years later than the C1103 developed by Intel Corporation of the United States, but four or five years earlier than Korea and Taiwan. At that time, Taiwan had just purchased a 3-inch fab from the United States.

In November 1976, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed a 10 million-time large-scale electronic computer. The circuit they used was the ECL-type transmitter developed by the 109th Factory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is now the Microelectronics Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Polarly coupled logic circuits.

At that time, although our country's semiconductor technology was not as good as that of the United States and Japan, it was almost the same, and it was at an advanced level in the world.

Unexpectedly, after 30 years, we have fallen behind so much. If we don't catch up, we will be controlled by others in the key fields of electronic technology in the future! "

"That's why we're here,"

Holding the wine glass, Chen Yang looked at Mr. Wu, turned his head and said, "Semiconductor is a very complex and huge system. From chip design, to manufacturing, to later packaging and testing, countless manpower and material resources are required to piece together. Our own complete semiconductor industry,

Zhanrui started out with design, and is now getting involved in the manufacturing process.

This requires a lot of equipment. I hope that Zhanrui can use the equipment produced by Shangwei Company as soon as possible to create a production line with a high localization rate. "

Mr. Wu also nodded with a smile, and said to Mr. Yuan, "Our factory in Shanghai Future Industrial New City has already started construction. Feihong is also helping us inquire about prices from major equipment suppliers around the world.

Old Yuan, don't keep us waiting! "

"Haha, that won't,"

Mr. Yuan laughed twice and said, "Coincidentally, if there are no accidents, we will be able to produce the first packaging lithography machine by this time next year, and we should be able to catch up."

At this time, Zhong Ruilin also came over, nodded and said, "First develop the subsequent packaging lithography machine instead of the front-end manufacturing lithography machine, which shows that Shangwei's work style is very pragmatic.

I think, with this packaging lithography machine, Shangwei's manufacturing lithography machine should not be far away! "

"I'll borrow your good words, I'll borrow your good words!"

Yuan Zongzhi nodded triumphantly, changed a glass of wine, touched Zhong Zong, and they were all done.

Flying back from Nansha, Boss Chen has not been idle for such a long distance. He has read a lot of semiconductor-related information provided by Huang Shan on the way, and knows that there are two types of lithography machines. One is more technically demanding. The lithography machine for manufacturing, and the other is a less demanding packaging lithography machine,

It is indeed relatively pragmatic for Shangwei to choose packaging machines as a breakthrough instead of manufacturing machines with higher technical requirements.

However, Boss Chen pursed his lips and kept smiling,

If it was him who made the decision himself, he would definitely choose two kinds of research at the same time.

Technology research and development is like this, there must be a sense of urgency to race against time,

Otherwise, when it is surpassed by others, it may soon disappear from the market without a trace.

Shangwei was established in 2002. Even if, as Mr. Yuan said, the first product will be produced by this time next year, it will take a full seven years.

seven years,

The technology should be updated several times!

If he didn't know that Shangwei would be able to make a difference ten years later, and with Feihong's shares, he wouldn't have the slightest say in Shangwei, he really didn't want this President Yuan to be the person in charge.

So stable!

At this time, Mr. Yuan, who was being slandered by Boss Chen, drank two glasses of champagne, added to his joy, and immediately talked happily.

"Technology requires both years of accumulation and a flash of inspiration, and even a flash of inspiration is more important than technology accumulation.

Just like the global lithography machine giant Nikon, they are far ahead in the field of lithography machines through decades of technology accumulation,"

and many more,

Boss Chen was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Nikon lithography machine is ahead?"

Isn't it Asmai? ? ?

"Yup,"

Seeing that his words were interrupted, Mr. Yuan didn't care,

Of course, depending on who interrupted the conversation, Mr. Chen must be fine.

Not only does it not matter, but he also patiently explained, "Since the 1990s, Nikon has been a leading company in the field of lithography machines, and the only ones that can compete with it are Canon in their own country, and even Philips in Germany. Worse,

At that time, it can be said that the scenery was unparalleled. Chip factories all over the world asked them to buy equipment.

Later, in order to suppress Nikon, Intel in the United States and their country's Ministry of Energy took the lead in establishing an organization EUVLLC Alliance,

Who are the members of this organization?"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, "Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory are the three major national laboratories as the core, combined with companies such as Motorola and AMD,

Of course, the leader Intel is indispensable, which means that it has wiped out the US semiconductor organization.

Then they began to develop insignificantly, breaking through from the basics, and after a few years, Nikon and Canon were almost ruined by them! "

Uh,

Boss Chen couldn't help but smack his lips,

So brutal!

"However, EUVLLC didn't take advantage of it,"

At this time, Mr. Wu who was standing next to him took over the conversation and said with a smile, "The market that Nikon has withdrawn from is basically taken up by a little-known small company in the Netherlands, ASMI.

Now ASMI's extreme ultraviolet lithography machine has become the most advanced technical representative in the field of lithography machine.

Some professional organizations predict that according to the current development trend, ASML is very likely to occupy 70% of the global lithography machine market next year, officially becoming the overlord in the global lithography machine field! "

what?

Boss Chen is like a frog in a well, his eyes are wide open,

So, it is only in the past few years that Asmai, who is the dominant family in later generations, suddenly developed?

At this time, Zhong Ruilin, the general manager of Feihong Supply Chain, also joined the topic and said with a sigh,

"Mr. Yuan said just now that a sudden breakthrough is more important than technical accumulation!

Asmai seized this opportunity, and transformed from Philips’ child bride to a new giant in the field of lithography machines.”

ha?

Boss Chen was shocked again.

Asmai is the child bride of Philips?

So this is the real version of the younger brother's counterattack?

Seeing Boss Chen looking at him without blinking, Mr. Zhong thought that Boss Chen was interested in what he said, so he continued,

"This opportunity was not created by themselves, but was proposed by Lin Benjian, the deputy general manager of TSMC.

That is to make use of the refraction of water to replace the distanced medium with water,

At that time, Lin Benjian published several papers in order to prove this idea.

It's a pity that his ideas have not been taken seriously by lithography machine manufacturers, which is actually true."

Mr. Zhong suddenly smiled and said with emotion, "Nikon, Canon, and even EUV LLC in the United States have spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the original technical route, so they are naturally unwilling to change the technical route easily.

That is to say, Asmai was poor and white, and the boat was small and easy to turn around. In addition, they were trying to survive in the cracks at the time. They thought that it would not matter if they failed anyway. Instead, they could build a relationship with TSMC. agreed to cooperate with Lin Benjian,

So this is the current ASMI extreme ultraviolet lithography machine! "

Is it so amazing?

Boss Chen put the wine glass to his mouth in a daze, but drank it lonely,

It turned out that the cup had already been emptied.

Seeing this, Zou Rong immediately changed him to a glass of wine, and then continued to wait behind her husband.

At this time, Mr. Yuan suddenly said, "Although Shangwei was established in 2002, it was not until 2004 that we collected the first research and development funds and started to engage in technical public relations.

Otherwise, accumulate two years in advance, and wait until 2004, you may not be able to seize this opportunity! "

If the old technical route is to climb a mountain, then the road that Asmay took is to take the cable car directly to the top of the mountain!

Moreover, when ASMI was working on extreme ultraviolet technology research, it couldn't even come up with 4 million US dollars.

Although Shang Wei is a little poor, but if he gritted his teeth, the money could still be squeezed out,

What a pity,

At the beginning, I failed to seize the opportunity to develop, and then went the wrong way. When I adjusted now, I have lost the best opportunity for development.

Now he strongly recommends Shangwei to accept Boss Chen's investment, and he also intends to use the resources of Damai and Zhanrui to develop.

ASMI has successively joined TSMC, Sanxin and Intel, which proves the fact that it is easy to rely on customers. Now that Shangwei has missed the opportunity of technology, how can it miss the opportunity to tie up with major customers!

If time can be repeated, EUV is Shangwei's, TSMC, Sanxin, Intel, these companies will be Shangwei's customers,

What about barley and zhanrui!

Boss Chen naturally didn't know about his idea of ​​wanting to be reborn, otherwise he would definitely understand it very well.

After hearing what he said just now, Chen Yang understood a little bit why later Asmai was so awesome,

The technology is stronger than the opponent, and it is deeply tied to the world's largest chip foundry. Who can beat this? !

only,

Boss Chen frowned slightly, and asked thoughtfully, "As you just said, that American organization,"

Zhong Ruilin quickly added, "EUVLLC alliance."

"Yes, this is the alliance,"

Chen Yang asked, "This alliance brings together all the semiconductor industry organizations in the United States. It took so much effort to defeat Nikon, but was picked by Asmai. Why didn't they take any action?"

It has always been the old beauty who takes advantage of others, there is no reason for others to take advantage of the old beauty,

The way of a gentleman is not the style of old beauty!

"How not,"

Mr. Wu immediately laughed and said, "Being dealt with by giants and being put on small shoes by the United States, why haven't you experienced it? At that time, Asmay suffered no less than some institutions in our country!

It's just that there were mistakes and wrong moves. Wasn't Asmai poor and white at that time, with nothing, and everything had to rely on external procurement,

Think about it, a lithography machine needs tens of thousands of parts~www.readwn.com~ For companies like Nikon and Canon, most of the parts can be produced by themselves.

As for Asmai, they were only dozens of people at the time, and they were all R&D engineers. They couldn’t even make a single screw. The only way was to buy, and in order to save money, they still purchased from all over the world.

In the end, the United States discovered that many of ASMI's orders fell on American companies.

Then, in 2004, Philips sold their shares in ASMI, and the companies they took over were Wall Street's Capital International Group and BlackRock Group.

Isn't this still one of us? !

So they summed it up, well, let's just include Asmai,

So, the current ASMI is also a member of the US EUVLLC Alliance,

If he becomes his own person, then the United States will definitely not make things difficult for him anymore. Instead, Intel will also hand over the order to Asmai. I heard that there is still a plan to invest in Asmai, and they will become a family.

Otherwise, Asmai might not be able to develop so fast and so well! "
