Chapter 330 [I'm Here to Talk About Business, but You Want to Eat Me? 】
Science and Technology Complex Building.
There is a man over 60 sitting on the sofa in the living room, but he doesn't look much different from a man in his 40s. This man who has been waiting here for half an hour is the founder of Huaxin International. People Zhang Rujing.
He didn't make an appointment, but came to visit directly. It stands to reason that Luo Sheng can completely disappear, and the other party has nothing to do.
After waiting for nearly forty minutes, Mr. Zhang finally saw the master coming.
"I made you wait for a long time, Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry for the poor reception." Luo Sheng walked over with a smile, and immediately sat down on the vacant seat on the single sofa opposite. He was dressed in a Buddhist style at home.
"Where, I came uninvited. If you forgive me, I should say it." President Zhang replied quickly and politely.
Today, Luo Sheng's social status, wealth influence and industry influence are undoubtedly several ranks higher than that of President Zhang.
Now Luo Sheng, even the long-established bosses such as Gates and Buffett, have to speak politely, and will never pose in front of him. Everyone is already the boss of the same echelon. What are you?
The relationship between the size of the ability and the seniority is really not proportional.
"I am more of a person who advocates quick action. President Zhang asks me if you have anything to tell me." Luo Sheng said with a smile. Waiting for the result, so come up and meet the other party.
After finishing the supercomputing upgrade, I have to go to Lens Semiconductor in the afternoon. The news from there has been notified to him, and the R&D team has achieved significant results.
As soon as Mr. Zhang heard it, he resolutely put down some polite words and flattery and went straight to the point.
"To be honest, Huaxin International has made breakthroughs in research and development in the 65nm process project, and all technical indicators have reached the international mainstream technology level. It is expected that customer orders will be accepted for mass production from the third quarter of this year. At present, the global integrated circuit In the industry, the 65-nanometer product process is the mainstream production process technology for mass production, and the purpose of this visit is to obtain the foundry of the processor chips of your company's blue mobile phone."
The smart phone released by Côte d'Azur in 2006 was based on the 65-nanometer process. At that time, Huaxin International could not achieve this level at all. After three years, the Azure series of smart phones sold 40 to 50 million units worldwide. Core International is also very eye-catching, but the technology at that time could not meet the requirements at all.
Now that the 65nm process has made breakthroughs, Mr. Zhang can't wait to talk about business.
But the other party's next response poured a basin of cold water on him, and his heart was cold.
Luo Sheng said bluntly: "Sorry Mr. Zhang, the 65-nanometer process is already an obsolete technology, and the 45-nanometer process is the mainstream production process technology for mass production in the annual stage. Intel has even made breakthroughs in the 32-nanometer process. , our products will focus on 45nm process products, and Huaxin International does not have this technology."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhang, who was looking forward to it, was stunned, and his heart suddenly became anxious, but he suppressed the emotions in his heart and said quickly: "Your company is going to launch a new product?"
Luo Sheng nodded: "The first-generation product in 2006, the second-generation product in 2007, and the Cote d'Azur did not launch a product in 2008, just put it in a big move in 2009."
There's nothing to hide.
Mr. Zhang immediately said: "I, Huaxin International, do not dare to think about the chip foundry of your company's new products.
However, the previous generation of products still used the 65nm process, and Huaxin International is now capable of taking orders here, so..."
The reason why the semiconductor industry is cruel lies in this. You finally spent a lot of money on R&D investment to get it out. The result is already an outdated product. Without a source of customers, all the money is wasted, thus forming a vicious circle.
It's not that the super-rich business giants continue to transfuse blood, and they can't afford it.
Luo Sheng shook his head again and said, "Mr. Zhang, I will not hide from you, Cote d'Azur has planned to stop production of the 65nm process at the end of the second quarter of this year, and will no longer produce the second-generation products. From this year, we will focus on the third-generation 45nm process. Craftsmanship, our company has already begun to prepare the inventory clearance plan."
"What? It's been discontinued? How could it be discontinued? This phone is selling like crazy now, and its commercial value still has a lot of room for development. How could it be discontinued so soon?"
Mr. Zhang thought to himself: You are really stupid, can't you learn how to operate a toothpaste factory?
"Mr. Luo, can you postpone it for a year? Huaxin International needs orders too much. It can be said that the Cote d'Azur can determine the life and death of domestic chip foundries to a certain extent." Zhang said, he doesn't care about his face here in Luo Sheng. , He knew that this kind of request might be excessive, but he didn't care, as long as it was better to get the order, Huaxin International may take off directly like Biadi's mobile phone OEM.
"Zhang Gao read it, I believe that Huaxin International will be able to live without the Cote d'Azur list. I'm really sorry, but it's impossible to postpone the release. Of course, we know that the commercial value of this product is far from being exhausted. , but the technology is advancing too fast, and some games must be given up, especially in the field of smartphones, we can’t squeeze toothpaste like Intel, we must further stimulate the market and launch new products to ensure the Cote d’Azur’s leading position in the world.”
Luo Sheng said unmoved, he is not a great virgin who cuts his own flesh and feeds others.
Now there are domestic smartphone brands such as Xiaomi and other domestic smartphone brands appearing together. There is also Huaqiangbei, which is famous for its cottage, and overseas players such as Samsung, HTC, Microsoft, and Google are sharpening their knives.
The future of the smartphone industry has begun to show a red sea trend, and the fierce competition can already be seen in the leopard. Luo Sheng also did not ignore the Qiao Gangzhu who is addicted to tablet computers.
God knows what Apple is doing.
There are a lot of visible and invisible competitors, Luo Sheng has confidence is one thing, but not taking his opponent seriously will definitely pay the price.
What's more, the Côte d'Azur is now leading the world. In fact, many supply chain links have not yet escaped the danger of being stuck.
What's more, why?
The conversation between the two sides fell into an embarrassing situation for a while. After a while, Luo Sheng suddenly proposed: "The domestic semiconductor industry has a long way to go, but I have a compromise solution."
As if seeing a ray of hope, Mr. Zhang quickly said, "What plan?"
Luo Sheng said bluntly: "Shengfeng Capital entered Huaxin International, skipping the 45-nanometer and 32-nanometer processes, and targeting the 22-nanometer process. Of course, the midway research and development process must accumulate the precipitation of 45-nanometer and 32-nanometer process technologies. , it is impossible to skip the 22-nanometer process directly from the 65-nanometer process, but the money lost in this research and development process is a huge amount of money I will provide blood transfusions.”
After a while, Luo Sheng added: "That is to say, once Shengfeng Capital acquires Huaxin International, I need it to delist and concentrate on research and development, without considering customers or orders, and Shengfeng Capital will make up for the loss during this period. In this hole, the technology has passed the test, and the first customer is the Côte d'Azur."
The business scope of Huaxin International includes integrated circuit chip manufacturing, testing and packaging, etc. The target is LSMC, and Mr. Zhang once also served as CTO in LSMC.
Chip foundry is a core part of the semiconductor industry. Luo Sheng is sure to have a layout here. He is very tempted to take Huaxin International, which was established in 2000, into his pocket, which means that the initial stage is omitted. Outright mergers and acquisitions and then restructuring structures can be done lightly.
"This..." Mr. Zhang was speechless for a while, and it was impossible to say that he was not angry.
I'm here to talk to you about business orders, but you're fine, thinking about swallowing me up?
Although Huaxin International has a big gap in benchmarking with the top international manufacturers, don't forget that it is in a rapidly developing emerging market country. This year, it can mass-produce products with 65nm process technology, which is indeed very high in benchmarking with the international mainstream technology level. It is backward, but the demand from the mainland is there. The development of China's electronic information industry and the need for general-purpose chips such as mobile communications, digital TV, and multimedia are also very urgent for 65-nanometer process manufacturing.
No way, the whole country is catching up.
As long as the Dutch do not get stuck in the neck of the lithography machine, even if they buy a lithography machine that is several generations behind, there is no problem for the current Huaxin International to survive.
Mr. Zhang did not have any consideration to sell Huaxin International, and Huaxin International did not say that it was so easy to sell, and the State-owned Assets Office held shares in it, and it was also one of the key semiconductor companies supported by the state.
It's complicated here.
"Mr. Luo, I'm afraid this will not work." Mr. Zhang held back for a long time, and finally he could only say such a sentence, and he could only endure the anger in his heart.
After a while, Mr. Zhang added in his heart: "However, Huaxin International can accept the investment of Shengfeng Capital, but you can't control it."
Luo Sheng naturally raised his gangster-like legs, and said lightly: "Huaxin International is not a start-up company. If I can't hold a controlling stake, then I don't need to invest. I don't need to think about investing hundreds of millions of billions, I'm sure to get water. Drift, no matter how much you chase others, you will always be one or two generations ahead of you, and now there is a gap of three or four generations or even five generations, and it will take ten years to start to equalize, so there is no need to talk about being ahead."
"I don't have so much time to work on foreign workers, so Shengfeng Capital has to invest tens of billions of tens of billions of dollars. I have to be able to decide the future path of Huaxin International, otherwise I will spend so much money. I can't speak when I go in, and at night I can't sleep, Mr. Zhang."
Undoubtedly, the result was of course unhappy.
