Chapter 847 Technical Camp

It is impossible to provide joint venture projects with more advanced technologies than Sinochip. Huaxia Electronics and the Jianye Municipal Government have Sinochip’s construction experience as a reference, and they know what details to pay attention to in the project—everything has Sinochip as a template However, the negotiations between Electronics, Huaxia Electronics, and the Jianye Municipal Government went smoothly. On June 18, the three parties reached a preliminary intention to jointly build a Huaxia Fab project. (Thousands of Chinese provide the latest chapters to read>

Ge Jiande failed to keep his smug ambition until after dusk. Before dusk, Zhongjing Microchip delivered a statement to the editorial department of Jianye Morning News. The fastest way to know the content of the statement of Sinochip Microchip in advance. Novel chapters are updated the fastest

Today, Zhongjing Microchip, with Yuexiu Holdings as its shareholder, reached an agreement with Texas Instruments, agreeing that Texas Instruments will inject 60 million US dollars into Sinojing Microchip in exchange for a 10% stake in Sinojing Microchip.

Deyi's capital injection agreement still needs to be approved by the National Development and Planning Commission before it can finally take effect, but this news is enough to ruin Ge Jiande's good mood for a day.

For those who participated in today's signing ceremony, the Huaxia project is a tasteless project, because the Chinese side has made huge concessions, and there is nothing to lose, and there is no need to bear any risks. It's tasteless, and Ikezuo Hidezo will not feel particularly happy about it. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated the fastest

Huaxi Mining, which intends to integrate rare earth mineral resources, is officially listed in Jianye today. Chi Zuoxiu will no doubt feel that this is a mockery of his fiasco in handling this crisis. Toshiba also reached a patent technology exchange agreement with Kumho the day before yesterday, and undoubtedly slapped Chi Zuo Hidezo viciously in the face.

Ge Jiande and Chi Zuoxiu were not the only ones who were frustrated. In the temporary apartment, Li Zaizhu stared at the rain curtain outside the window with no expression on his face. After staring for a long time, he said expressionlessly: "Toshiba's movements so fast!"

Jin Nanyong didn't say anything, what could he say. Complain about the sluggishness of headquarters? It should be said that Toshiba's actions were too fast. The technical negotiations between them and Kumho lasted for less than half a month. They just decided to formally contact Kumho, but they were told that they were eliminated. They felt depressed and couldn't relax. .

"Maybe we are just using Kumho to put pressure on Toshiba." Lee Jae-soo sighed softly, "Their goal is to cooperate with Toshiba. As early as half a year ago, they had this intention. Once Toshiba is forced to take the initiative , the cooperation agreement was reached immediately. Take an old Chinese saying: dry firewood has been waiting for the fire..."

Jin Nanyong thought to himself: How can there be such an old saying in China?

Jin Nanyong said: "In the past half a year, the shipments of Kumho's ip1ayr and other dmp products have increased month by month, but it is far from seeing the dawn of replacing CDs, tape players, and mds.

Toshiba has officially joined the dmp camp, maybe it can increase the promotion of dmp in the world? "

"Samsung just missed—" Lee Jae-soo sighed again. They were eliminated without even having a chance to make formal contact. I feel somewhat regretful. Samsung has never had excellent portable audio-visual products. You may think that Kumho's dmp technology is not worth exchanging for flash memory technology at all. But Kumho last unveiled a physical flash drive a week ago at the International Electronics Fair in Moscow. Li Zaizhu thought to himself: This is the final bargaining chip for Toshiba. After all, Samsung was a beat late.

Li Zaizhu looked at the flash drive in his hand, which was slightly smaller than a disposable lighter. Real objects are always better than brief technical documents to allow people to see the future technical prospects. He rolled the flash drive in the shape of a train between his fingers. Said: "It is really possible to end the floppy drive...Microsoft seems to plan to directly support the usB interface standard in the new operating system."

Flash memory technology may have two largest application fields in the future. They were all driven by Kumho. Lee Jae-soo had mixed feelings in his heart. He is still calculating the real estate value of the current global floppy drive market in his mind. Ultimately, the market size of mobile storage based on the usB interface standard will definitely not be smaller than that of a floppy drive.

"Probably the high price will be the only obstacle...Although the flash drive has not been officially launched for sale, it can be predicted that the market price of a flash drive with a capacity equivalent to 22 floppy disks will not be less than one hundred dollars. .It may even reach one hundred and twenty dollars. Such a high price will promote the promotion of flash drives. Kumho's ip1ayr and other dmp products cannot completely shake the market position of cd, md, and walkman. The main reason is that it is difficult to get off the market. Price." Jin Nanyong said. "Whether it's p1ayr and other dmp products. Or the flash drive that will be officially launched soon. The key core component is still a flash memory chip. They need to develop a higher capacity, lower cost flash memory chip..."

"Yes. This is the fundamental reason why Toshiba chose to cooperate with Kumho." Li Zaizhu frowned slightly. "Higher capacity and lower cost. It also means a wider range of applications. We can't leave them behind..."

"We need higher-capacity, cheaper flash memory chips. The cost of ip1ayr can be reduced by half. It can win an absolute advantage in the digital audio market. The price of flash disks must also be reduced before they can be more widely used." Zhang Zhang Ke held a flash memory chip between his fingers. The eyes stare affectionately. "Before that. We could only passively wait for others. Now we can rely on ourselves..." before heading to Hong Kong. Zhang Ke specially called Dong, Liu Zhicheng, Cheng Hanzhang and others to hold an internal meeting. Although transfers to third parties are prohibited. But Kumho did obtain a complete flash memory technology license from Toshiba the day before. As a bargaining chip in exchange. Kumho also took out almost all the technical background accumulated in the past few years. That is after signing an agreement with Toshiba. Zhang Kecai has some confidence to believe that Kumho can occupy a place in the future electronics industry. "Higher capacity. I won't ask for extravagance for the time being. After all, I need to give the research department some time... The cost is lower. I don't know if it can be realized after October?"

Zhang Ke couldn't wait to ask Oak Park to set up a dedicated R&D team. Of course, if he wanted to make a difference in Toshiba's current flash memory technology, he needed to invest huge financial, material and human resources. It will take a certain amount of time to introduce more excellent researchers, but it is relatively easy to reduce costs.

In addition to 16m and 32m flash memory chips, Sinochip's 0.35-micron wafer process technology can even produce higher-capacity flash memory chips.

The factory construction of Zhongjing Microchip has progressed to equipment installation, and the process development platform in Oak Park and the pilot test line of the 2,000-square-meter clean room have been completed and put into use ahead of schedule. Sinochip and the Oak Park technical team can first use the Oak Park platform to absorb and digest the flash memory technology provided by Toshiba. There is a buffer of four months, so they should be sure.

Liu Zhicheng said: "Then let's prepare for the production of flash memory chips first, but don't expect the cost to drop all of a sudden. The yield rate problem may plague Sinochip for a long time. Everyone should be mentally prepared. "

Zhang Ke smiled. Said: "There is no need to act too hastily. I don't think it will be a big problem for Zhongjing Microchip to survive. The key is to develop..."

In the past, in 2005, the global output value of flash memory chips exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars. If Kumho doesn't live up to it, it should be considered one of the four major flash memory manufacturers, even if it only occupies 10% of the market share. That is the output value of 1 billion U.S. dollars. Zhang Ke thought that the survival of flash memory chips alone would allow Sinochip to survive.

Liu Zhicheng didn't have much worry about Sinochip's survival. Although Huaxia Electronics and the foundry reached a preliminary agreement on the joint venture project today, they didn't even have the idea of ​​discussing it. Huaxia has too many congenital deficiencies, and it is impossible to pose a threat to China Crystal Microchip, and China Crystal Microchip can survive relying on Kumho's internal chip demand. Although the first phase of the project has not yet been completed, Liu Zhicheng is already considering the second phase Considering the problems of future development, he said: "The current technological level of Sinochip can support the production of 64m flash memory chips at most. If we want to produce higher capacity flash memory chips, we can only count on the second phase of the project." It's..."

Zhang Ke scratched his head. Looked at Chen Xinsheng. Chen Xinsheng said: "Although Texas Instruments has also officially injected capital, Texas Instruments has just launched a 0.18-micron factory. It is quite difficult to think that Texas Instruments can immediately provide 0.25-micron technology... In the next few years, the market will continue to demand flash drives. The capacity of the ip1ayr will not have a particularly high requirement. Instead, the requirement for the capacity of ip1ayr is very high - for high-capacity flash memory chips, we only need to ask Texas Instruments or Toshiba's factory to replace them

"The ip1ayr with a capacity of 32m can only listen to songs for about half an hour now, and it may be more perfect to increase the capacity by ten times," Dong said. "It is not realistic to increase the capacity of the flash memory at once. The development of micro-hard disk technology may be the only way to break through the capacity limit in the short term, can we follow up?"

"Too much pressure is not good. The technical reserves of Hitachi and IBM on hard drives are not comparable to ours. It will be very hard for us to follow up," Zhang Ke shook his head. Apple was the first to apply micro-hard drive technology to digital audio playback. For a long period of time, due to the high storage capacity provided by micro hard drives, the application of mobile storage, especially high-end electronic products, is slightly stronger than that of flash memory. The two technologies have always been The competition did not come to a head until the end of 2007. The micro hard disk was almost defeated. IBM and Hitachi, which were the first to enter the field of micro hard disk, all chose to withdraw one after another. "From the perspective of application fields, there will be competition between flash memory and micro hard disk. We have no strength to Two boats under one foot, since I chose to board the thief boat of Flash Memory, let's go to the dark one by one..."

Zhang Ke's greatest advantage can help Kumho avoid some detours in the most critical stage of development. The competition between flash memory and micro hard drive lasted until the end of 2007, but this time Kumho joined the flash memory, which can make the ending earlier. How long does it take? Even if Kumho does not set foot in the field of micro hard drives, high-end products can also apply micro hard drive technology.

Dong and Chen Xinsheng all laughed. It is indeed not advisable to disperse technical resources, otherwise it may lead to unsmooth progress at both ends.

Obtaining a complete flash memory technology from Toshiba is of great significance to Kumho, not only the future development prospects of flash memory technology, but Kumho can be said to have a relatively complete vertical industrial chain for the first time. In the next few months, one or several ip1ayr models will be the electronic products with the highest degree of localization. Excessive emphasis on localization is not something worth advocating. Kumho will implement the global procurement strategy in actual operation, but Zhang Ke still feels that such a moment is of extraordinary significance, so he specially summoned the relevant people in person. Encourage and encourage.

After entering June, the rain along the Xiexie coast seems to have never stopped. It seems that the initial rain is mostly continuous rain, which will not cause disasters, but the water level of the Xiehe tributaries has risen a lot in the past, not only in the Xiexie basin, but also in China. The rainy season in the southern provinces also comes earlier than usual, and the rain is also exceptionally abundant.

Driving to Hong Kong, it was raining before boarding the plane, and Chen Xinsheng accompanied Zhang Ke.

"The procurement business within the Kumho system can be incorporated. The introduction of technology from overseas and the introduction of high-quality products will be businesses that will continue for a long time. Kumho Commercial will also be responsible for the overseas operation department and Kumho Commercial overseas. The business development of the company needs to rely on each other. In order to avoid repeated waste of resources, the overseas operation department can be temporarily placed under the name of Kumho Corporation. However, we still hope that Aida can become a world-renowned brand. It is necessary for Aida Group to develop independently* Excellent overseas brand marketing network..." Chen Xinsheng didn't care much about the rain outside the porthole of the plane, and his mind was on the purpose of going to Hong Kong this time.

"If Kumho Commercial wants to absorb capital from overseas, it can't just be an empty shell, and we don't have the ability to inject too much capital into Kumho Commercial," Zhang Ke said, "Kumho's overseas business, Yuexiu Holdings some assets or Everyone put a part of Yuexiu’s shares into Kumho Commercial, and these can be used as mortgage chips to attract foreign capital... The most anticipated thing here is the overseas business with the strongest growth..."
