Chapter 187 Counterattack

"May I have your name?"

"Wang Wenbo."

In the office, Wang Wenbo was a little nervous sitting on the sofa.

After getting the news, Li Zhi rushed to the "3D-NAND" production department. When he saw that the pass rate of the five wafers was as high as four, he personally brought Wang Wenbo to his office.

"Don't be nervous, Xiao Wang, I just want to find out more specific information from you."

With a smile on his face, Li Zhi kindly poured a glass of water for Wang Wenbo in person.

Wang Wenbo had never seen such a battle before.

Although I have been coming to "Yellow River Storage" for more than a year, the biggest leader I see on weekdays is the department head, Manager Gao. Upon seeing this, he stood up hurriedly and said:

"Mr. Li, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"good."

Li Zhi smiled even more and nodded with satisfaction.

"Then please explain the process and ideas of this improvement from beginning to end."

"OK, all right."

Wang Wenbo didn't dare to neglect or conceal, and then he revealed everything about how he self-defeated and converted the 9.72% concentration of medicine into 2.97% concentration, and finally discovered that the wafer pass rate had improved.

The more Li Zhi listened, the more surprised he became. Until the end, his face was full of disbelief. He never expected that the increase in yield rate was due to an accident!

But...he soon recovered.

None of this is important anymore. What is important is that the yield rate has actually improved.

Thinking of this, he was very pleased and looked at Wang Wenbo with joy in his eyes.

"Xiao Wang, you did a very good job in this matter."

"By the way, besides you, does anyone else know about this and the formula?"

Wang Wenbo shook his head violently, and then showed an embarrassed smile.

"Mr. Li, to be honest with you, this matter is considered a 'production accident' even if it is serious, so I don't dare to tell others."

"After the test was successful again today, I notified Lao Liu as soon as possible, and then you came."

"Except for you, I haven't had time to say anything to Mr. Liu and Mr. Gao yet..."

Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.

After a moment, his tone became gentler.

"You must keep this matter secret, especially the formula ratio, and do not disclose it to anyone."

"Of course, don't worry, you have made a great contribution this time. In the next few days, we will evaluate your outstanding contributions to the company and give you certain rewards!"

"You should return to your post and work hard now."

Wang Wenbo felt happy and hurriedly stood up and nodded.

To be honest, he is just an ordinary person.

The company benefited from his discovery and made more money, and he was very happy if he could give him some benefits.

Just don’t pick a dime.

"Mr. Li, I will go back to my post first. Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut!"

"Well, go ahead."

After Wang Wenbo's matter was implemented, Li Zhi no longer had any worries.

However, he did not dare to be careless, and then went to the "3D-NAND" production department in person to conduct a second test experiment.

This time, not only the wafer qualification rate of the new chemical agent etching process was tested, but also the ion implantation, screening, cutting and other processes after etching were also completed.

Four o'clock in the morning,

The 3D-NAND production department of "Yellow River Storage" is still brightly lit. Li Zhi, Gao Qiang and Lao Liu all stayed up late waiting for the final data.

At 4:20 in the morning, the entire process was finally completed, and the finished "flash particles" that were improved and produced using new chemicals entered the testing equipment one by one.

At 4:40 in the morning, a latest data report came out, and Li Zhi hurriedly took it.

His eyes fell directly on the most important yield rate.

Yield rate: 59.7%.

…

After one hour.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Mo Ran was sleeping soundly with Wen Wan in his arms, when suddenly a rapid ringing sounded.

He answered the phone drowsily.

"Hello……"

"Mr. Mo, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I have good news to tell you. The yield rate of our '3D-NAND' flash memory particles has been greatly improved!"

"Um?"

Two seconds later, Moran suddenly stood up from the bed.

The violent movement woke up Wen Wan beside him. He glanced apologetically and hurriedly whispered into the phone: "Don't talk about it now, I'll be right over."

Wen Wan was also awakened by the ringing of the phone and asked in a daze:

"Mo Ran, what's wrong?"

"There is something going on in the company. I have to go over and deal with it now. You can sleep a little longer."

While talking, Mo Ran had completely woken up and put on his clothes. Wen Wan didn't ask any more questions, just hummed, and then said:

"It's still dark, so be careful when driving there."

"Well, don't worry."

Mo Ran kissed Wen Wan on the forehead and walked out of the house. Half an hour later, he appeared on the third floor of "Yellow River Storage".

Li Zhi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Mo Ran, he hurriedly took out the information he had prepared and said excitedly:

"Mr. Mo, good news!"

"The yield rate of our '3D-nand' flash memory particles has finally been greatly improved."

Mo Ran couldn't help but feel a little excited. He suppressed his excitement and took a look at the information. His pupils suddenly shrank and his breathing became rapid.

Data shows that the yield rate of "Yellow River Storage"'s 3D-NAND flash memory particles has increased from 42.8% to 59.7%!

And most importantly,

The production cost of 128GB flash memory particles has been reduced from 132 yuan to 97.6 yuan!

"What...what is going on? Why did the yield rate suddenly increase so much?!"

Mo Ran couldn't believe it. If he didn't know Li Zhi very well, he would even think that Li Zhi was cheating.

Li Zhi looked excited, and then told in detail that Wang Wenbo misread the concentration and accidentally prepared the improved medicine.

After hearing this, Mo Ran fell into shock and disbelief. This is really God's help for the "Yellow River Storage"!

But he quickly suppressed his excitement and looked at Li Zhi.

"For this matter, how are you going to reward this employee Wang Wenbo?"

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Mo Ran would suddenly ask about this matter.

"Mr. Mo, this matter is so rushed. I haven't had time to think about it carefully."

"My initial idea is to first find out about the specific situation from their department head Gao Qiang, and then discuss it."

Mo Ran nodded slightly and then said:

"Your idea is right, but let me give you a suggestion."

"This brother has made great contributions this time and saved us a lot of money. We can't be too stingy and mistreat our brothers."

"Well, I suggest you take him to choose a house in any area of ​​the city, and we'll pay for it!"

"If he doesn't want the house, then give him a reward worth 5 million in cash."

Li Zhi was stunned. Reward a house in any location in Chengdu? !

Or, 5 million in cash? !

Isn't Mr. Mo's gesture too generous? !

"In addition, we will fully solicit this brother's personal opinions. If he still likes his current job, then let him continue to work in the original position and the salary will be increased by two levels."

"If he wants to change jobs or do other positions, try to satisfy him."

"There are also rewards such as paid annual leave and outstanding employees. It's up to you. Anyway, you can't treat your brothers badly."

Li Zhi nodded heavily and kept it in mind.

Mo Ran hasn't finished speaking yet.

"Also, the head of your '3D-NAND' production department also deserves credit this time."

"Although there is an element of luck in this matter, in other words, if it weren't for the fact that your department manager Gao Qiang took the initiative to increase the department rewards after 'improving the yield rate' and actively mobilized the subjective initiative of the employees, brother Wang Wenbo would have done this even if "A blind cat encounters a dead mouse", I'm afraid it will be ignored because of not paying too much attention.

"So, I also suggest that production team leaders and department heads should be appropriately rewarded, just give them cash."

Li Zhi was really touched this time. Mr. Mo was indeed very thoughtful and generous.

"besides……"

Mo Ran suddenly laughed.

"Also...you have worked hard recently, and you are the first to do this!"

"However, I will remember your contribution first and send you a big red envelope at the end of the year."

Li Zhi suddenly felt warm in his heart, and an indescribable feeling came over him.

He was really tired from working all night on the "Yellow River Storage" thing, especially since he had not rested for more than 30 hours today.

really,

He loves "Yellow River Storage" and loves this job, but who doesn't want to be recognized for their hard work?

Who doesn’t want to be rewarded for their efforts?

"Mr. Mo, forget about mine and send more to the brothers..."

"Stop talking nonsense, you will not be short, and neither will your brothers."

Having said this, Li Zhi took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.

After a moment, he looked at Mo Ran again, changed the topic and said:

"Mr. Mo, now our yield rate has increased to 59.7%, and the production cost has been reduced to 97.6 yuan."

"It can be said that our production costs are now lower than those of Samsung and Hynix, and we are no longer afraid of price wars with them!"

"Unless they dare to sell it below cost!"

Hearing this, Mo Ran's eyes suddenly turned cold and he snorted coldly.

"They don't dare!"

"What they want to do is block us and prevent us from developing, not lose money!"

"And even if they really dare to sell below cost, how big are they and how big are we? They can't afford to lose!"

Li Zhi nodded, and he knew very well that after improving the yield rate, Huanghe Memory is now completely invincible on "3D-NAND" flash memory particles!

"Then Mr. Mo, what should we do next?"

This time Mo Ran didn't speak, his mind was racing and his eyes were flashing.

After a full two minutes, a trace of cruelty suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Since SanDisk and Samsung have joined forces to restrict us, it's our turn to give them a hard blow this time."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Zhi.

"How is our production capacity now?"

Li Zhi said hurriedly:

"We have now arranged two photolithography machines to specialize in the production of '3D-NAND' particles."

"We have a total of seven photolithography units, and we can dedicate up to one more photolithography unit specifically to produce '3D-NAND' flash memory particles, for a total of three units."

"If we need more lithography machines, it will affect the production of other chips, such as the production progress of the 'Little Horse Crossing the River NPU' chip... unless we purchase a few more lithography machines!"

Mo Ran nodded seriously. He still had the redundancy of a photolithography machine, so he was not in a hurry.

After a moment, with a burning gaze, he arranged:

"From now on, we will arrange another photolithography machine to be dedicated to the production of '3D-NAND' flash memory particles."

"Our biggest problem now is no longer the problem of low yield, but the problem of insufficient production capacity!"

"If we want to give Samsung and SanDisk a big boost, we must have sufficient production capacity. Once we have a production capacity scale, we can really let them see what pain is and what it means to break their muscles and bones!"

"So, from now on, our first step is to quickly expand production capacity, and then put it all into the market and let them spit out all the market share they have taken!"

Li Zhi's eyes flashed and he nodded heavily!

…

Li Zhi was so fast that he couldn't take a break and began coordinating the photolithography machine to produce "3D-NAND" particles that afternoon.

Thanks to previous orders from Xiaomi and Jingdong, the production capacity of the two photolithography machine production lines previously dedicated to producing "3D-NAND" flash memory particles has been completely increased. With the addition of the third machine, the annual production capacity has reached We have purchased 70 million flash memory chips, and we can initially provide sufficient flash memory particles for "Yellow River Storage"!

July 1st.

The day after five giants including SanDisk and Samsung lowered the price to 125 yuan.

Mo Ran takes action!

He still has not disclosed to the public that "Yellow River Memory" can produce and sell "3D-NAND" flash memory particles. Instead, he has drastically reduced the prices of the "Jinghong Series" TF memory cards and "Liaoyuan Series" solid-state drives at lightning speed. !

Previously, the 128GB "Jinghong Series" TF memory card was 245 yuan;

256GB memory card 468 yuan;

769 yuan for 512GB!

Now, after the production cost of "Yellow River Storage" and "3D-NAND" flash memory particles has been significantly reduced, the production cost of a 128GB memory card only costs 120 yuan;

256GB only costs 240 yuan;

512GB only costs 460 yuan!

Mo Ran’s immediate price plummeted by tens or hundreds of yuan!

128GB "Jinghong Series" memory card: 179 yuan, a sharp drop of 66 yuan!

256GB memory card: 349 yuan, a sharp drop of 118 yuan!

512GB memory card: 649 yuan, a sharp drop of 120 yuan!

As soon as the news of the price reduction came out, the whole network was shocked!

In particular, the price reduction of large-capacity memory cards of 256GB and 512GB was staggering, and they quickly became hot searches!

SanDisk, Samsung, Hynix and other manufacturers were completely confused when they saw the news!

Good guy, this... this... this? !

what's the situation? !

so cheap? !

Where did they get such cheap flash memory particles? !

However, before they could react, Mo Ran's second bomb struck again!

"Yellow River Storage" quickly communicated with Jingdong Tokyo for the latest batch of purchase orders, and the ex-factory price of 128GB was set at 150 yuan!

soon.

Xiaomi also came to visit.

The original guaranteed price order of 175 yuan with Xiaomi has not been completed, and Xiaomi hopes to lower the purchase price.

Likewise, the final ex-factory price has been reset to 150 yuan!

JD.com, Xiaomi and Nietzsche's "Jinghong Series" instantly had a huge impact on the "TF memory card" and "solid state drive" markets!

The sales of solid-state drives from SanDisk, Samsung, Western Digital and other manufacturers fell accordingly!

At this time, netizens on the Internet were completely stunned.

They know that the price of flash memory particles has dropped, but...

This time is our Yanguo domestic enterprise "Yellow River Storage" taking the initiative to reduce prices? And the price dropped so much? !

What's going on here? !

The response on the Internet was enthusiastic, but no one expected it.

July 3rd.

An even bigger piece of news came.
