Following.Xiao Bai came to Pudong Microelectronics Company early in the morning and met Fan Donglin."
Xiao Dong, welcome to inspect and guide the work!
Wait a few more words for all of us, and we'd all like to hear your analysis of the current economic situation. ”Fan Donglin was still as polite as ever, "Fan Dong, it's boring for you to say that."
I'm just here to visit and learn, you always hold me high, but you have bad intentions. ”Xiao Bai laughed and stepped forward to shake Fan Donglin's hand.Then the two walked into the office building together.A group of people sat down in the conference room, and Fan Donglin began to tell Xiao Bai about the company's current operation.Microelectronic equipment companies have been receiving good news recently, and have made a number of technological breakthroughs in mid- and low-end lithography equipment.The market share has also continued to expand, and the revenue and profit have increased significantly.However, in terms of high-end lithography equipment front-end lithography machines, the company's successful research and development of 130N lithography machines, except for those that are still in technical verification, only a few units have been sold.To put it mildly, the joint R&D expenses can't be earned."
Xiao Dong, this is the gap!
We ourselves also have a very clear understanding that we will persist in the so-called courage after shame. ”Fan Donglin can recognize the gap with the world's advanced level, and at the same time he is not discouraged, which makes Xiao Bai very pleased.It's not terrible to have a gap, it's terrible if you don't even have the courage to catch up."
Mr.
Fan, I chatted with Mr.
Li of Times IC Manufacturing Company before I came.He said that your equipment has basically passed the technical verification, and the production line in Shencheng will purchase 5 sets of 130N lithography machines, you should wait for their notice.In addition, AUO will build two new packaging and testing plants, and the advanced packaging lithography machines used will also be purchased from your company. ”Xiao Bai smiled slightly and told Fan Donglin and the others the good news.There was a cheer in the conference room, AUO's orders were just repaid, especially the orders of Times IC Manufacturing's Shencheng factory, which was really a long drought and a rainy day.Equipment manufacturers like them are most afraid of not being able to work.Manufacturing processes and technologies can only be improved through continuous production practice.There will be a profit when the product is sold, and the profit will be reinvested in production and research and development to form a positive cycle.Regardless of the difficulty of technology, the biggest problem in the development of high-end lithography equipment lies in the market, that is, the problem of orders."
Xiao Dong, this is really good news!
To be honest, without the support of Times IC Manufacturing Company, our development will be more difficult!
Thank you, Dong Siao!
And thank you to everyone who supported us. ”Fan Donglin said and said, a little emotional.Although the enterprise is not his, there is a plot for which he struggles.The orders of Times IC and other companies under the Times Department bring not only revenue and profits, but also hope for the future development of the company."
Fan Dong is so polite!
In fact, we are in a relationship of mutual support, and maybe one day your development will play a vital role in the IC of the times. ”Xiao Bai didn't say much until now.If one day the United States comprehensively restricts the development of the domestic semiconductor industry, especially integrated circuits, then a large number of domestic enterprises such as Pudong Microelectronics and Hengmei Technology are the guarantee for the survival of IC in the times.So his words are by no means polite, but Fan Donglin and others can't understand it for the time being."
Xiao Dong, we also have a lot of cooperation with Times Optoelectronics.If Times Optoelectronics launches a new production line, our latest equipment is still good. ”Fan Donglin's sensibility only existed for a moment, and after a while, rationality returned, and he began to sell Xiao Bai lithography equipment for the TFTLCD production line.The manufacturing technology of liquid crystal display, in the final analysis, is still born from the manufacturing technology of semiconductors, and it also uses lithography machines, but this equipment still belongs to the category of low-end."
Well, you can send someone to talk directly with Times Optoelectronics."
Xiao Bai did not respond directly, microelectronic equipment companies still have certain technical advantages in low-end lithography equipment, and they do not need his deliberate support.However, there is one article, under the same conditions, the purchase of domestic equipment will be preferred.After coming out of the conference room, Fan Donglin accompanied Xiao Bai to the R&D team of the 90N lithography machine project.The scale of this group is not small at all, not only the elite soldiers of Pudong Microelectronic Equipment Company, but also the technical elites sent by the Times Science and Technology Research Institute.Xiao Bai contributed money for the development of this project, and in the eyes of others, it is no different from willful burning of money."
Xiao Dong, our project is currently progressing slowly.In the final analysis, we still lack technology and talents, and we dare not spend funds indiscriminately, after all, we are just about to use it. ”Fan Donglin has been accompanying Xiao Bai all the time, and found that the other party does not let go of every detail, and always wants to figure out the problem before stopping.After leaving the project team, he said with emotion."
Fan Dong, there are no talents to introduce, can be cultivated by themselves, and technology can be accumulated.However, in terms of investment, we must not be petty, and the money that should be spent cannot be saved. ”Xiao Bai expressed his dissatisfaction, he invested a lot of money, as long as it was used in R&D projects, why not burn money?"
It's my fault!
After all, you are the owner of the project, and with your words, I will make some changes in the future. ”Fan Donglin is actually still a matter of consciousness, striving not to waste is a virtue, but being too conservative in R&D work will also delay the progress of the project.However, he still attaches great importance to Xiao Bai's opinion, and at the same time, he reflects in his heart, and he may be a little too cautious."
Chairman Fan, it is precisely because we lack talents and technology that we should be more generous in the introduction of talents.I don't meddle in the company's affairs, but all the personnel in this project must improve their treatment. ”Xiao Bai can only talk about it to this extent, and he can't say too much, after all, Fan Donglin is not his subordinate but a partner.Fan Donglin didn't show any displeasure, he thought about it and decided to explore more in this regard.At noon, Fan Donglin invited Xiao Bai to go out for dinner together.This time, Xiao Bai did not refuse, and during the meal, the two stopped talking about work matters, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.In the following days, Xiao Bai also specially inspected the commercial real estate project of Modu.Guo Yuxi came over from other places and accompanied Xiao Bai around.Now may be the last moment of value depression in domestic real estate prices, and after the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States sweeps the world, everyone will look back and find many problems.These days, Director Ma also met with Xiao Bai.The other party and Xiao Bai focused on the development of microelectronic devices in Pudong, and to some extent accepted Xiao Bai's theory of burning money.In some industries, especially those that are far behind the world's advanced level, it is necessary to invest huge sums of money to catch up.Otherwise, it can only be more and more backward, such as the lithography equipment industry, which wants to make progress without spending money?
It's pretty much the same dreaming.Of course, Pudong microelectronic equipment is not without advantages.After all, it is an enterprise controlled by the state-owned assets of the magic capital, and it is stronger than others in terms of resource integration.Director Ma especially talked about the Modu Institute of Optics and Mechanics, as well as other well-known institutions in China.Under the coordination of Modu, the company has received strong technical support in terms of light source and objective lens."
Chairman Xiao, are you willing to increase the capital of the microelectronic equipment company?
We have a preliminary plan to bring in the best IC manufacturing companies in China. ”Director Ma's idea is the same as the path ASML took at the beginning, wanting to let microelectronic equipment companies and IC manufacturers bundle interests.After all, there is only one era IC, and the power is still a bit thin.There are still some domestic IC manufacturing enterprises, aside from foreign capital and joint ventures, there are no less than three state-owned backgrounds.However, before implementing this plan, it is reasonable for the Demon Capital to seek Xiao Bai's opinion."
Director Ma, if this plan can really be realized, it will definitely be a great thing.Once again, I would like to state that I not only support this plan, but will also actively participate in it. ”Xiao Bai never planned to pocket microelectronic equipment, this company is the hope of all domestic IC manufacturing companies in the future, and he doesn't want to become the target of public criticism.And from another point of view, the more customers a microelectronic device company has, the more it will grow.Therefore, Xiao Bai did not hesitate to express his support."
Xiao Dong, with your words, I feel more confident in my heart.But this matter is not urgent, and I will proceed step by step. ”Director Ma was very happy, and when Xiao Bai left, he also deliberately sent the other party out.After finishing these things, Xiao Bai and Liu Xiaoling took the two little ones to Jinling.After playing there for a few days, I returned to the deep city."
Xiao Dong, during this period of time, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has intensified, which has had a significant impact on the entire world economy.At present, the economic stall of many countries will inevitably cause shocks when it is transmitted to various industries. ”After Xiao Bai returned, he resumed his normal work rhythm.On this morning, You Sen came to Xiao Bai specifically, and at the same time brought a large amount of economic data collected by the business intelligence room.In a word, the global economic turmoil caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and the United States has serious consequences, and the situation is not optimistic."
Mr.
You, let me put these materials here first, and I'll take a good look at them later.In a few days, let's have a meeting together and discuss how to deal with it. ”Xiao Bai had foreseen this matter for a long time, and he also had the answer in his heart.However, he didn't say too much to Yousen for the time being, but hoped that everyone would work together to find a way.Of course, there is no rush in this matter, and he plans to discuss it at the decision-making committee meeting at the end of the month."
Okay, Xiao Dong.Then you're busy, I'll go first. ”You Sen put the information on Xiao Bai's desk and left.
