The First Thousand and Fifty-Three Chapters Are Really Shabby in Comparison

On April 26, Liu Zhicheng signed a wafer production agreement with Texas Instruments on behalf of Sinochip. Although the whole transaction was only the first step, the industry was in an uproar.

Since major European and American manufacturers mainly focus on the production of high-end chips at the technical level, the reaction is relatively calm, and the reaction of the Asian wafer manufacturing industry is much stronger.

The mainstream process technology of Asian wafer foundry enterprises is 18-micron, and the entire wafer foundry industry has not completely emerged from the shadow of the financial turmoil. In the first half of 1999, there were losses of varying degrees——in terms of production costs? br/>w Novel chapters are updated the fastest

TSMC also announced in mid-July that the construction period of the new 12-inch plant was postponed because the recovery of the Asian economy was not as expected and the wafer foundry business suffered a small loss in the first half of the year. The new factory construction plan will adopt the latest c13~micron process technology, that is to say, once the technology transfer transaction between Sinochip and Texas Instruments is finally completed and one or two large wafer factories will be built together in the mainland, even if the current China's economic situation is still very unfavorable. In order to maintain its dominant position in Asia, TSMC must also quickly promote the construction of new factories.

UMC Taiwan is also in the process of introducing 013~micron wafer process technology with Texas Instruments. Seeing that Sinochip is catching up from the rear, it is inevitable to have a sense of crisis of being chased by a dog. w "Fiction" novel chapters are updated the fastest

Several fabs in South Korea have a more serious sense of crisis. Only three of these fabs have adopted c18~m technology, not to mention the introduction or development of more advanced netbsp; even out of Asia. voice.

In a villa area in the west of Beijing called Xicuiyuan, there is a luxurious villa near the artificial lake in the villa area. Although the owner has someone else's name written on it, every time Lin Xue returns to Beijing, Ge Jiande keeps her to live.

"Kumho is really beautiful. It has been in a lawsuit with the Recording Industry Association of America for half a year in the United States, forcing the big waist and arms of the Recording Industry Association of America. Process technology," Lin Xue was sitting on Ge Jiande's lap in a nightgown, her snow-white thighs were raised from the nightgown while talking to Ge Jiande while applying nail polish, "Even a layman like me knows that Kumho is going to help the domestic Don't you claim to be the head of China's electronics industry, what do you think?"

"There is no such simple thing." Ge Jiande said darkly. His fingers were caressing Lin Xuedi's legs. He likes to make the tender meat here. He said, "Can it be done? Isn't it true that Kumho and Texas Instruments can count on their own?"

"I've asked someone about the 18-micron round process technology and it's still on the edge of the US's technology export control to China. Texas Instruments is working hard behind the scenes. What should I do if it can still be done?" Hands pushed aside like dead wood. His legs were scratched and his heart felt itchy. said with a smile. "At that time, a sliver of gloom flashed over Xia Ge Jiande.

Construction started with Japan in the middle of last year. A year has passed so far. Due to the active cooperation of the Japanese side. Huaxia's factory construction and equipment introduction are very fast. It is planned to carry out trial production after autumn. Although the construction level cannot be compared with that of Sinochip, the construction level is also in the middle and upper reaches of the industry-only this. It is also enough to add credit to Ge Jiande's face.

But behind the applause, there is a huge worry hidden.

Domestic fabless semiconductor industry. Also, the semiconductor chip design industry is extremely underdeveloped. There are many electronic companies under its umbrella. But there is no one with chip design capabilities after Xia Jiancheng. We can only win chip production orders from overseas chip design companies for foundry business.

According to the original joint venture agreement. The business in China is under the responsibility of the Japanese side. The current chip foundry market is bleak. Even the operating rate of electronics fabs in Japan is insufficient. How can the Japanese side hand over excess business to China? Received a large order of chip foundry business and successfully achieved profitability.

Kumho's growth in chip design capabilities is as dazzling as a dazzling rainbow after the rain. The chip design capabilities in the fields of power control, single-chip system control, audio and video decoding, memory components, microprocessors, microcontrollers, etc. Not weaker than overseas mainstream electronics companies.

Ge Jiande recalled what Yi Yunfei said to Kumho at the internal meeting of the Ministry of Information Industry: "If the domestic semiconductor chip design industry is to develop, we have to wait for Oak

..."

Such words make the teeth itch, but it is impossible to refute.

"What are you in a daze for?" Lin Xue pushed Ge Jiande's chin and let him look at her eyesight. Even though she hated him a little, but he was distracted in front of the temptation of her own beauty, which still made her feel faintly unhappy, " When I was in construction, I often heard people say that there is only one year difference between the construction period of Zhongjing Microchip and Huaxia. The gates are only two kilometers apart, and in the future, Zhongjing Microchip and Huaxia will probably not be able to compete with others no matter how hard they try—what do the people in the Ministry of Information Industry think, and what does Geng Chongyang think?" She really didn't mind poking Ge Jiande at all. The sore spot, the fingers are twisting and twisting against his cheek.

"What will Minister Geng think, how do I know?" Ge Jiande felt a little annoyed, and viciously grabbed Lin Xue's buttocks and squeezed.

"Before I came to Beijing, I met with Yan Wenjie. We discussed and discussed. We couldn't figure out how Kumho could have so much money in China. If you judge from a professional perspective, you think the whole plan started from the beginning of 1997 to this year. How much do you need to invest?"

"Have you ever slept with Yan Jie?" Ge Jiande asked.

"I'm telling you something serious," Lin Xue pushed Ge Jian's hand away from her, "Besides, I can sleep with whomever I like, can you control me? Unless you put your yellow Face mother-in-law quit and marry me, and I will let you take care of me."

"I don't believe the mouth below is not fishy." Ge Jiande said with a wicked smile.

"..." Lin Xue did not entangle him with this topic, and said, "Some media estimate that Kumho has invested two billion in the Oak Park project over the past two years."

"Two billion yuan is enough!" Ge Jiande said, he still has a general ability to judge matters in the professional field. Since Kumho launched the Oak Park 100-person plan, it has introduced more than 400 mid-to-high-level microelectronics and related fields from overseas. Researchers and engineers directly recruited more than 3,000 researchers from China to supplement Oak Park with engineers, "Oak Park Venture Capital Fund, Kumho has put out 500 million real money, you think 1.5 billion can be established Come to a research center with nearly 4,000 researchers? What do you care about this? The Yan family has a lot of connections in this area, and they can't find out the details of Kumho, how can I know?"

"The Yan family can't find out," Lin Xue said, "I just feel a little confused. We estimate that Kumho plans to invest more than four billion in Oak Park. What do you think?"

"A number of companies registered at home and abroad under Kumho Tong have come to pay for the Oak Park plan, and they have really invested in it. Unless Kumho honestly handed over the account books, no one will be able to find out. We can check domestic and foreign companies. Some, especially the financial information of those tax havens, the central government can’t get it—” Ge Jiande said.

"That's why you, an expert, need to evaluate it." Lin Xue said coquettishly.

"The domestic part of the Kumho Oak Park project should have invested about 4 billion yuan in the past two years," Ge Jiande said, touching his chin, "but Kumho has also set up an ess experimental base in California, the United States. It is said that the ess experimental base has more than 400 scientific researchers , in the valley where there are many technology companies, such a scientific research scale is quite impressive. The annual salary of these 400 researchers is over 40 million US dollars. You said that Kumho has invested in the ESS experimental base in the past three years How much did it cost? In addition to ess, Kumho also has an experimental base in Tsukuba, Japan; in addition, Kumho also has 14 product design and development centers in major global consumer electronics markets—these investment How much did you pay?"

"These are the places we are thinking about. We predict that the total amount of funds that Kumho will invest in the entire Oak Park project will not be less than - and the 4 billion that Kumho raised from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1997, in 1997, In 1998, the net profit that could be obtained was about four billion, and the total was about eight billion. Telecommunications and Aida Group invested no less than 5 billion in capacity expansion, and there is at least a difference of more than 3 billion," Lin Xue said here with bright eyes, and the gleam in her eyes was fierce and vicious, "because the funds are huge. Most of them come from creditors. To a certain extent, Kumho Corporation’s use of funds must be disclosed to these creditors. It is impossible for Kumho Corporation to provide a large amount of funds for the Oak Park plan. Besides, Kumho Corporation’s large-scale financing was also in June last year. It started later, and it was unable to provide funds for the Oak Park project before June last year and Kumho’s other domestic industry exhibitions—there may be big problems in the three billion difference!"
