Chapter 756: Mr. Guan Who Works with Capital; the Wafer Testing Factory

The latest station name: Aoyu Pavilion The latest website:

The fragrance of tea in the study is pleasant.

To be honest, there are not many words.

After all, it will not be a trivial matter to be able to make today's key summary.

After that, Fang Nian asked some questions about the game business that he didn't understand and was unexpected.

"Although the popularity of one or two games has little effect on the Dangkang game platform, but..."

As he said that, Fang Nian looked at Guan Qiuhe, "What's going on in the gunfight game?"

Seeing this, Guan Qiuhe simply explained, "Users are not very accepting of this game, and the basic promotion resources are tilted down, and the response is mediocre;

The survey results of the marketing department show that the game consumes more hardware resources, and the general user experience is not very good. "

Hearing this, Fang Nian murmured in his heart.

It turns out that before the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, many games with similar settings failed to become popular, including Battle Royale and King of Slaughter.

He also watched the shootout produced by Dangkang, and it was indeed not as good as expected.

After thinking about it, Fang Nian said, "Follow up optimize the game engine and develop a new game with a similar setting framework."

"In addition, pay attention to the development of mobile games. For example, Dota Rebirth can try to make mobile games. League of Legends has been very popular recently. Try to combine the advantages of the two games and launch a mobile game."

"..."

Guan Qiuhe nodded in response.

At the end, Fang Nian said with a smile, "Dangkang Games has developed well this year, Mr. Guan has worked hard;

Don't worry too much about financing affairs, I will take care of it if there is any problem. "

Rao Guan Boss had a good face with Fang Nian, but he blushed when he was told this, and waved his hands again and again, "No, no, it's the hard work of the people below."

She hasn't been to Dangkang Games' headquarters in the World Financial Center much this year.

It just so happened that Fang Nian suddenly asked, "By the way, Dangkang Industrial Park will open tomorrow. Are you going to host it?"

"That...that won't go, Wu Hong has already been made responsible." Guan Qiuhe said with lowered eyelids, seemingly casually.

It's just that when he was talking, he inexplicably felt a little itchy in his throat.

Fang Nian wanted to call him a good guy.

Looking at Guan Qiuhe, Fang Nian said solemnly, "Mr. Guan's spirit of working with money is very commendable, and he is a very much-needed employee at the frontier!"

After a short pause, Fang Nian still couldn't hold back his teasing, "Dangkang's shares worth at least 30 billion won't you have forgotten?"

As soon as Fang Nian finished speaking, Wen Ye was the first to laugh.

For a while, the study room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Guan Qiuhe "..."

"Just talk nonsense! Isn't it because you took the shares of Frontier, or because Frontier has nothing to do?"

"..."

Regarding the whole summary, Fang Nian only had this little doubt.

The rest is nothing more than revenue a bit beyond expectations.

But before mentioning the revenue, Wen Ye mentioned something, "Mr. Fang, why did the second phase of the civil engineering project of Luzhou Frontier build a low-rise factory with a size of less than 30 mu on a plot nearly one kilometer away?"

Hearing what Wen Ye said, Gu Yu took over the conversation and said in confusion, "This whole project is rather strange."

"We only found out that this civil engineering project is separate and not included in the grand planning and design of Luzhou Frontier Industrial Park, and the construction period is very fast. Only five and a half months were given, and it will be put into use initially in November."

"In terms of design, it is a five-story factory as a whole. There is no additional office building, and it is not the specification of a data center."

"Don't look at me, I don't know." Lu Weiyu spread her hands and shook her head.

"..."

As soon as Wen Ye raised this question, everyone was confused.

To put it simply, this project can be said to be forcibly included in the second phase of the Luzhou frontier civil engineering project.

The construction design plan, etc., and even the approval process for the 450 mu of land were all unplanned.

The original plan was to only talk about the 300 mu of land next to the industrial park.

Rather, because it is more remote than the side of Shuxi Lake, this 450-acre land is basically equal to half buy and half free in Luzhou.

The price is less than 60,000 acres.

Of course, this is also because after Frontier settled in Luzhou, its research and development strength is very strong, and various driving effects including talent absorption capacity are very strong, so Luzhou is also very tolerant.

Even if Sun Ganlong assumes the new post now and Wu Yanrong takes over, Luzhou locality and Luzhou frontier can still be said to be a honeymoon period...

At first, Guan Qiuhe was as puzzled as everyone else.

But in the process of everyone talking to each other, a light suddenly flashed in Guan Qiuhe's mind, looking at Fang Nian hesitantly said, "Could it be a fab?"

Fang Nian, who was about to answer, paused for a moment when he heard the words, and then laughed, "Tsk~ As expected of Mr. Guan who brings money to work, his eyesight is different."

"Unlike you, at first glance, you don't think about the overall development of the frontier."

As he spoke, Fang Nian glanced over the crowd, and curled his lips deliberately, "You know what to do in the future, right?"

"..."

Everyone deliberately pretended to be submissive.

I was a little stunned.

No wonder they bought 450 mu of land in one go.

They knew that Fang Nian wanted to build a complete semiconductor manufacturing industry led by Luzhou Frontier.

The fab is an essential core of manufacturing.

It can even be said to be the core, with high technical content and corresponding high profit margins, so it is naturally the most cutting-edge.

However, Guan Qiuhe frowned at this time, "No, what's the use of the factory taking up that little area?"

Fang Nian made a gesture, "Think about it again, why did you start a civil engineering project there alone?"

"Pilot?" Guan Qiuhe suddenly realized.

Fang Nian nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, an internal test wafer line was built for Baize Laboratory, and the relevant technology was accumulated by the way;

Anyway, with the current financial strength of Frontier, it is impossible to build a fab without financing. "

Then he explained patiently, "Although Miaobu has a lot of thoughts, he still keeps his word. Since he has made it clear that he will support a certain amount of funds in the next year or two, there is no need for Frontier to raise additional funds;

certainly……"

"There is no need to spend all the money in advance, but the necessary preparations must be done. The money will not be available at that time. The accumulation of technology is still a castle in the air. Then it is my turn to embarrass myself in front of the Miao Department."

Speaking of this, Fang Nian paused for a moment, and then said, "The investment in the project is low, so I didn't alarm you."

"Although it can be said to be the most mature and advanced 300-size 12-inch wafer manufacturing plant, the monthly production capacity of the initial design is 3,000 wafers."

"12-inch?" Bai Yu smacked his tongue a little, "Boss Fang, you are here to run for the 12-inch fab that has invested heavily in the early stage."

Fang Nian smiled, "It saves repeated investment, and you don't have to start over again when you get rich in the future. You can just expand the production capacity on the original basis."

"The preliminary planning and design of the 450 mu of land has been completed. The medium- and long-term design monthly production capacity is 100,000 chips. If the yield rate can be controlled well, the monthly production capacity can reach up to 50 million chips."

"Counting the packaging and testing plant, office buildings and other industrial facilities, it can just fill up 450 mu of land."

After listening to Fang Nian, Wu Fucheng wondered, "According to the cost of civil construction of this project, the civil construction cost of directly building a 12-inch fab with a monthly production capacity of 100,000 wafers can also be within 2 billion or even 1.5 billion;

Why not build it all at once? After all, the time-consuming civil engineering has greatly slowed down the pace of frontier development, and according to industry standards, the cost of civil engineering may not account for one-thirtieth of the total initial investment. "

Hearing this, Fang Nian said casually, "There's no need to spend all the money in advance."

Fang Nian didn't think that Wu Fucheng was talking nonsense without thinking.

"The cost of civil construction is indeed not high, but based on the current technology accumulation, it is optimistically estimated that such a large production capacity will not be needed until five years later."

"There are also other considerations, not just issues that are not available now."

"..."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, Liu Xi raised her head and interjected, "I have already debugged the control program of the civil engineering process, and I can make a judgment based on the longest-term plan and give a plan for the first phase, which will no longer affect the progress of the plan's implementation."

Hearing this, Fang Nian's eyes lit up.

In my heart, I called Liu Xi awesome.

This way, the progress of civil works that previously slowed down frontier development will no longer be a problem.

A little excitedly said, "Liu Xi did a good job, so, after I finish sorting it out, you, Old Wu, will be in charge of taking over the project."

"Okay." Wu Fucheng nodded.

"..."

In fact, Wu Fucheng's worries were not unreasonable.

Because the actual example is there, the time for the data center in Guiyang to land does not match the planning progress at all.

The biggest obstacle to results is the progress of civil works.

Indeed, having money can indeed speed up the progress, but this kind of compression has a limit, and it is impossible to theoretically have a situation of 10,000 days per person and 10,000 people per day.

This is also the reason why Fang Nian abruptly added a civil engineering project to the second phase of Luzhou frontier construction.

It is impossible for Fang Nian to suffer a second time for the loss he suffered in the data center.

If we really have to wait until the 50 billion promised by Miao Wei arrives next year or even the next year, and then start to take it step by step, the day lily will be cold after a lot of tossing.

Additional technology accumulation really takes time.

Especially now that Frontiers needs to make up homework in almost all the fields involved in order to catch up with the international leading level.

Therefore, small-scale pilot work must be carried out in advance in many subdivided fields.

This is also the reason why Fang Nian is eager to implement all the cutting-edge large laboratory plans.

Although the funds are limited and the steps cannot be taken too far, it does not affect the accumulation of technology in the early stage.

The development step by step is also more stable and more in line with the cutting-edge strategy.

It can't always be the same as the first half of this year, like it's taking off——

Even if this take-off is based on spending enough money, the smartphone industry involved is an emerging industry on a global scale, and world-class industry giants are not progressing fast;

after all……

Even a giant like Motorola has called a curtain call because of betting in the wrong direction.

Nokia is now bound to Microsoft's WP across the board, rushing to 'end the curtain' without looking back.

Globally, not to mention the market share, but only the utilization rate, the wp system can be attributed to othr, even the blackberry can't match it.

Not to mention the mobile phone SOC, the AR solution that everyone uses, the current excellence depends on the control of the user experience and the amount of money spent.

Fang Nian personally checks the experience of the next ten years of daily use, of course there will be certain advantages.

After all, it is almost the same starting line.

Looking back at Bailong and dskos, the gap between these two fields and the international leading level is so vivid.

So much so that Fang Nian had to take the initiative to walk into Miaowei's office and ask the higher-ups for a hand.

As for the technology accumulation of wafer manufacturing...

This is a bit of a confusing area.

Fang Nian plans to go to Changchun in the near future to inspect the Zhuwu Laboratory.

…………

Finally, some big details on the revenue side.

The revenue of Dangkang Games in the first three quarters exceeded expectations because of its influence on clubs.

The low-key Dangkang game became the biggest winner in the wave of track investment in the mobile game industry.

Even Goose Factory has already prepared, but the investment and coverage of Goose Factory Games in mobile games is far less thorough than that of Dangkang Mobile Games, so naturally it is a bit far behind.

This is also the reason why the revenue in the three quarters of this year was as high as 13.7 billion yuan.

In addition, Dangkang Games raised nearly 10 billion yuan at the beginning of the year, invested in various civil engineering projects in an all-round way, and calculated the relevant profit status separately.

The net profit margin of Dangkang Games in the first three quarters is relatively impressive, as high as 42.

Due to preparations for listing at the end of the year, it is estimated that the shareholders of Dangkang Games will have a big and fat year in 2011.

Of course, it was mainly Fang Nian and Guan Qiuhe.

Speaking of which, one of the main reasons why the capital game of Dangkang Games can play faster and smoother than Xiaomi is that the net profit rate is considerable.

Dangkang Game is a cash cow that is both valuable and profitable.

It is the favorite of capital itself.

Although Xiaomi's revenue is considerable, it is all because of the added value of hardware.

Its cost is high, and because of the cost performance factor, the current net profit rate is less than 10.

As for why Frontier’s annual revenue target was set as high as 10 billion, and it has now reached 7.9 billion.

the reason is simple

The Frontier Department contains a Frontier Angel with no staff.

For example, among the 7.9 billion, frontier angels contributed more than 2 billion.

The term net profit rate does not apply to frontier angels at all, and it can easily be several thousand percent.

Therefore, although Luzhou Frontier has contributed nearly 3 billion in revenue, it is selling one chip and losing one, and the term net profit rate does not apply.

Because it is negative.

Rather, Samsung Electronics contributed nearly half of the total revenue of 7.9 billion.

This also proves that the global progress on the two core basic systems and core processing chips of the smartphone industry is similar.

Samsung Electronics is not stupid. The reason why it is willing to accept the "harsh" proposal proposed by cutting-edge science is entirely because of interests.

Many mobile phone manufacturers are not adapting to the era of transitioning from feature phones to smart phones.

Samsung is no exception.

Across the globe, the smartphone industry has very few core options.

First of all, Apple is exclusive and not external.

Let's talk about Android, wp, blackberry, etc. at the system level, as well as the blockbuster dos.

Relying on the Chinese market, dos directly obtained a market share of as high as 75%.

For the high-end market, Samsung Electronics actually has no choice.

As for why they agreed to purchase 10 million pieces of Shenlong 1, it is also very simple.

Shenlong 1 is the first echelon in the world. Due to the most advanced manufacturing process, it is ahead of Samsung's own xynos chip in all aspects.

The sales of axys2 in the Chinese market also prove that Samsung Electronics’ special trip to cooperate with Frontier is beneficial enough

Three million units were sold in the first four days.

In less than a month so far, sales have approached 9 million units.

However, in Fang Nian's impression, the sales volume of phon4s after its launch was even more exaggerated.

Having said that, Apple's new mobile phone will be released on October 4, which has become a hot topic on the Internet these days.

additional……

Samsung Electronics is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

Taking advantage of the explosive sales of axys2, Dongfeng has launched several mobile phones equipped with the self-developed bada system in the Chinese market.

There may be "fools" in companies that can become giants, but there are absolutely no real fools.

The so-called fool is nothing more than making some choices for his own benefit, which is equivalent to deliberately advocating freedom on Twitter while holding a key.

for example……

Zheng Jinrong, who led the cooperation between Samsung Electronics and the frontier, rose after the first week of sales in the Chinese market exceeded 4 million units.

"..."

In the end, Fang Nian simply said, "Since there is no pressure on the annual revenue targets of the Dangkang Department and the Frontier Department, then we will devote all our energy to implementing the plan in the next quarter, and strive to finish this year."

"Aren't you aiming a little higher?" Guan Qiuhe stared at Fang Nian and said.

Fang Nian "..."

Cough twice, "Then what... the core goal now is not to make money."

Guan Qiuhe couldn't help snorting, but didn't say anything more.

Last year, because of the VAM agreement, Fang Nian repeatedly raised the annual revenue target of Dangkang Games, and Guan Qiuhe was under a lot of pressure.

This year, an annual revenue target of 15 billion was set. When Guan Qiuhe saw the financial report after the next year, he didn't even bother to go to the company.

Next to it, Gu Yu tactfully changed the topic, "Mr. Fang, the 15 billion money will arrive after the festival. A large part of it has no plans. Why don't you also talk about it?"

"I'll sort it out after I've been busy for the past two days. Maybe I don't need to do any planning. I was still worried about the funding of the wafer production line."

Fang Nian said calmly.

"It is estimated that if we allocate a part of it to invest in civil engineering, there will not be much left."

"..."

As he said that, Fang Nian changed his mind, "Speaking of planning, Mr. Guan, Dangkang Public Welfare Fund can promote it more. After all, it is basically the most delayed civil engineering project."

Hearing this, Guan Qiuhe nodded, "Okay."

"It just so happens that on November 1st, it's time to release some matters from the previous quarter, and we can do it together."

"..."

Fang Nian knew the other package of things well.

Including the progress of civil works in various places.

They are all projects that look grand, but the amount of investment is not large.

The construction and installation cost of most projects is one to two to three hundred million.

The most expensive is the data center in Guiyang, which is less than 4.7 billion.

The self-built industries of the frontier department and the Dangkang department are not the kind of high-rise buildings, and the cost will be significantly different.

After all, the higher the building, the higher the construction cost in all aspects, and the exponential increase.

After thinking about nothing else, Fang Nian simply asked, "Secret Wen, is Dr. Su still used to being in Luzhou?"

"Very good, no, it should be said to be very strong!" Wen Ye praised, "She should be the most experienced person in the frontier department, and she is qualified for such a position."

Hearing this, Fang Nian looked at Guan Qiuhe again.

Seeing this, Guan Qiuhe said helplessly, "I understand, I understand. I have been looking for it all the time. I can't get Apple's new Cook here. It's really unacceptable."

"..."

Finally, Wen Ye said, "By the way, Mr. Fang, Dr. Su chose 'Zero Degree' from the listed brand names as the computer brand name of the Luzhou Frontier Computer Division."

Fang Nian nodded indifferently.

"..."

In about half an hour, I finished talking about all the affairs.

It just so happened that the aunt at home also prepared dinner.

After the usual sumptuous dinner, everyone drank tea or some wine, chatted and talked about everything.

For example, Wen Ye finally chose to join forces with Gu Yu to "not let go" Fang Xin's little friend.

One wanted to tease, the other deliberately took the bait.

As a result, the kid Fang Xin boldly proposed that he wanted to go to sea and play on the island.

Fang Nian readily agreed.

The 11th holiday is still very long, and everyone will be a little busy on the first and third days.

In the end, before everyone left, Fang Nian said, "Go home and go to bed early, don't be late tomorrow."
