"Director Wang, you're welcome, aren't you?
Let's count it as partners, and some things on the scene are exempt. ”Xiao Bai and Director Wang talked and laughed, and then entered the office building.A group of people came to the conference room and sat down, and Director Wang said some innocuous words to Xiao Bai before officially getting to the point."
Professor Wei, you are the person in charge of the research and development of the objective lens system, so you will make a report to Dong Xiao and talk about the research and development of your project.""
Okay, Director Wang, Director Xiao, our current R&D work has encountered problems.Specifically, the high-definition optical lens is not up to standard, which affects the accuracy of the entire system. ”When Wei Guoguang talked about technical problems, he gushed endlessly, which was very different from his previous taciturn image.He said a lot, and Xiao Bai summed it up in one sentence: the project has not made much progress."
Professor Wei, can high-definition lenses be replaced by imported products?
ASML's lithography equipment is the ZEISS lenses used, so what do we do in private?
”Xiao Bai also knew that there was little hope for imports, but he still mentioned it.When Wei Guoguang heard this, he hurriedly shook his head.Director Wang took over and said, "There are some products that we have never been able to buy, and it is not necessarily because of this project. ”Xiao Bai nodded, and Wei Guoguang stopped explaining the progress of the sub-project."
Professor Wei is very detailed, and I will add one more point.At present, the project is stagnant, not only because of the investment problem, but also because we need time.Xiao Dong, there is no shortcut in scientific research, our previous accumulation is insufficient, and now we must make up for the debt.If you ask me when the project will be successful, I can't say too clearly, but as long as I keep doing it, there is hope. ”Director Wang can understand everyone's expectations for this project, and if the objective lens system is not solved, the pre-technology of the EUV lithography machine will be missing.But technological research has its own laws, and blind optimism and blind pessimism are not advisable.Of course, on the premise of throwing money at any cost, the research and development of the project may be accelerated.It's just that this is not absolute, and there is a little bit of luck in it."
Thank you, Director Wang, Professor Wei for your doubts, I wish you success one day sooner, I believe this day will come."
Xiao Bai didn't say much, just made a symbolic gesture.Seeing this, Director Wang motioned for the others to disperse.Later, he had to accompany Xiao Bai to the institute, and the focus was naturally on the "objective lens system" project team.Xiao Bai is very attentive to the on-site inspection, most of the time he will ask various questions in detail, and have detailed exchanges with relevant personnel.In the "Objective Lens System" project team, Xiao Bai's concerns have touched on the technical details.If there is something he doesn't understand, he is also very humble to ask for advice, and he won't pretend to understand because of face.Unconsciously, Xiao Bai stayed in the optical machine institute for a whole day.Lunch is served in the staff cafeteria.At night.Xiao Bai invited Director Wang, Wei Guoguang and others to a banquet."
Director Wang, in related fields, you have the highest technical level in China.I can't help you much with the project itself, but wherever it works for me, feel free to speak. ”After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Bai and Director Wang touched a glass alone.Then he said to the other party very sincerely."
Xiao Dong, thank you for your kindness!
There's something I really want to talk to you about.Times Science and Technology Research Institute has strong technical strength in lithography technology.In addition, Dean Zhou has no shortage of funds on hand, and I hope to cooperate with them. ”Director Wang naturally knows who is the head of the Department of the Times, and in the "objective lens system" project, it seems that cooperating with Zhou Siyi is a very good choice.The Times Science and Technology Research Institute is not the same as Pudong Microelectronics Equipment, which focuses on commercialization in R&D, while the Institute has no performance pressure, and its R&D direction is very broad, even including a lot of basic research.This is the technical cornerstone of the cooperation between the Institute of Optics and Mechanics and the Times Science and Technology Research Institute.In addition, the Times Science and Technology Research Institute is really rich.Previously, Xiao Bai allocated hundreds of billions of yuan in research funds to Zhou Siyi at one time, and this time he added an additional 70 billion Hong Kong dollars.To be honest, the entire Institute of Optics and Mechanics does not necessarily have so much money in five to ten years.Director Wang is well aware that the current R&D (objective lens system) has encountered a bottleneck, and if you want to make a rapid breakthrough, you must introduce foreign aid.This foreign aid must have a certain degree of technical strength, as well as strong financial strength.At present, there is only one qualified institution in China, which is the Times Science and Technology Research Institute."
Director Wang, I think Dean Zhou will be very willing to cooperate with you.I can make a decision on this matter, there is no problem, you can contact Dean Zhou directly when you go back. ”After listening to Director Wang's words, Xiao Bai immediately readily agreed.He originally had this intention in his heart, but he didn't take the initiative to speak, and he wanted to go back and let Zhou Siyi talk to the other party.Now, don't bother, you can directly finalize the intention of cooperation.Of course, Xiao Bai will not negotiate the terms of cooperation with the other party.Director Wang did not continue the topic, and everyone tacitly continued to drink.The next few days.Xiao Bai stayed in the optical machine institute.Except for the confidential projects, the other projects of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics are open to Xiao Bai.Xiao Bai had a detailed understanding of the situation of the Optical Machinery Institute in the spirit of learning.He didn't know what he didn't know, but he found out that the Institute of Optics and Mechanics is not only a very powerful existence at home but also in the world.The main reason why the objective lens system project is stuck is that it has not worked in this direction before, and the technology accumulation is insufficient and the investment in R&D funds is insufficient.Day 3.Zhou Siyi took a few people to the Institute of Optics and Mechanics."
Dean Zhou, you and Director Wang should have a good talk.As long as the other party's conditions are not excessive, we must pay for money and people, and we must complete the objective lens system project as soon as possible. ”Zhou Siyi is not exclusive to the cooperation with the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, but there are many details to be discussed between the two sides.Including follow-up scientific research achievements, technology patents, benefit distribution, etc., it is necessary to come up with a mutually acceptable plan.Xiao Bai naturally will not personally participate in the negotiations, and Zhou Siyi's arrival means that it is time for him to go.Before leaving, he gave Zhou Siyi a few more words."
Xiao Dong, don't worry.We have cooperated with each other before, and the cooperation model is very mature, and it is completely feasible to apply it to this project. ”Zhou Siyi understood the boss's thoughts, so he explained with a smile.He expects that the negotiations will go well, and if there are no surprises, the contract will be signed in a week or so at most."
Well, I'm relieved to have you say that.Then I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and we'll see you in the deep city when I get back. ”Xiao Bai has already achieved his goal, and there is no need to continue to spend it on the side of the Optical Machinery Institute.He plans to fly to the deep city early tomorrow morning, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him at home."
Xiao Dong, you're back.Recently, our pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles have simply sold out.Especially for hybrid vehicles, customers basically have to wait about three months to pick up the car.I'm afraid that I have to expand production capacity again, and the supply of automotive chips is also a bit tight. ”On the first day of work after Xiao Bai came back, Yue Tong came to the door.Several new models previously released by BOD Motors have greatly exceeded expectations, and as a result, customers have queued up to pick up the goods.The booming sales are a good thing, but at the same time, they also expose the shortcomings of BOD cars' production capacity.BOD Motors has always been operating with high debt, and the pace of expansion is daunting for its peers.But even so, the increase in production capacity still cannot catch up with the needs of enterprise development.Yue Tong has been in a hurry recently, and Wang Chuanfu is busy launching a new generation of automotive batteries, so he came as soon as Xiao Bai came back."
I think you should build another production base, and if you want to expand production capacity, you should do it in one step, and don't always use refueling tactics and not being able to catch up.Also, this year you can consider refinancing in the secondary market.At present, the company's stock price is high, and the performance in the past two years has been very good, so it should be no problem to refinance. ”Xiao Bai and Yue Tong walked into the small reception room, and after sitting down, they began to discuss related issues.Since Wang Chuanfu didn't come today, Xiao Bai made some suggestions and asked Yue Tong to go back and discuss with Wang Chuanfu.It is up to them to decide what measures to take, and then write a plan and report it according to the process."
Okay, I know what you say.Xiao Dong, then you are busy, I will go to BOD Battery Technology Company to find Mr.
Wang now, and come up with a practical plan as soon as possible. ”Yue Tong didn't sit for long, and left Xiao Bai's office after finishing his business.After Xiao Bai waited for the other party to leave, he immediately called Xu Changqing, Wei Xiaolou, Wei Jianjun and others and asked about the car chip.The feedback shows that as countries around the world are now beginning to pay attention to new energy vehicles, the sales of pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles have increased significantly.Correspondingly, the demand for automotive chips has also increased significantly.After Xiao Bai ended the call with several people, he had an idea in his heart.He feels that the demand for automotive chips in the future will put pressure on IC manufacturing, although the 28n production of IC manufacturing in the current era can be used, but it will be difficult to say in another year or two.Xu Changqing also saw this trend, and both of them had the same view, that is, Times IC manufacturing should continue to invest in the construction of 28n production lines.As a representative of mature technology, future automotive chips will basically be manufactured using the 28N process.Xiao Bai then held a remote meeting and decided that Times IC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and the group company would invest in the construction of a 28n production line.After the reorganization of IC manufacturing in the times, the technical level of the group company and the listed company converged.The two are gradually leveled in advanced process technology and mature process technology.However, both sides maintained their own styles.The group company is unique in the characteristic technology, and the listed company is unrivaled in the double exposure technology......
Of course, the Shencheng factory under the group company still maintains a dominant position in analog ICs, power amplifiers, discrete devices, etc.The 28N production line newly invested by the listed company will be built in Rongcheng.The 28N production line of the group company will be built in Yangcheng.The source of funds is mainly self-owned funds, and the shortfall is supplemented by bank loans.In fact, the group company's funds must be sufficient, they only received 20 billion US dollars before, and it is no problem to build four or five production lines.The funds of listed companies are slightly tighter, but the funding gap will not be too large.Wei Jianjun was in charge of the project, and Liang Jinsong, Meng Kongliang and others were not idle.Xiao Bai seemed to see the shadow of the optoelectronics of the era again, and the continuous huge investment finally smashed a world first.In addition to Times IC Manufacturing, BOD Group is actively expanding its scale.To be precise, BOD car and BOD battery technology are expanding wildly.It's just that the affairs of the BOD Group are in charge of Wang Chuanfu and Yue Tong and others, and Xiao Bai basically rarely asks.There was only one thing on his mind right now.That is, whether the IC manufacturing of the times can get rid of adversity, be reborn, and support the development of the era in the next decade.and even support the entire industry.Magic City.As soon as Wei Jianjun got off the plane, he came to the construction site of the localized 14N production line, and Liang Jinsong and a group of people were waiting for him.Today is the last day of the installation and commissioning of the production line equipment, and if there are no problems, the production line will soon enter the trial production stage.Next is risk mass production, mass production......
Every stage is not easy.If it goes well, it will be very fast from each stage to the final mass production.If it doesn't go well, the process can take a year or two.It can be seen from Wei Jianjun's presence at the scene that everyone in Times IC Manufacturing attaches great importance to this matter.This 14N (localized) production line with a monthly output of 30,000 pieces is experimental in nature.The success will be replicated on other production lines, which is significant."
Mr.
Liang, let's go and have a look."
Wei Jianjun didn't care about greeting Liang Jinsong, so a group of people went to change their clothes and walked into the factory.At this time, the installation and commissioning of the equipment was almost over, and Wei Jianjun, Liang Jinsong and others quickly got all the test data."
It's a little worse than expected, but it's up to par."
Liang Jinsong read the data and smiled at Wei Jianjun.The run-in time of domestic equipment is still a bit short, and there are many small places that need to be improved, which can only be continuously improved in future production."
Mr.
Liang, you may be a little optimistic.I have a hunch that there may be problems with the technical indicators in the trial production stage, especially the yield index. ”Wei Jianjun also looked at the data and couldn't help frowning.Unlike Liang Jinsong's cautious optimism, Wei Jianjun felt that the trial production process would not go very smoothly.This is his experience, and there is no intuitive basis, so Liang Jinsong is a little disapproving, but it is just that it is not good to refute the other party.As soon as Wei Jianjun saw the other party's expression, he knew what Liang Jinsong was thinking.But he didn't squeak either, and there will soon be an answer to who is right and who is wrong.Seriously, he really hoped he had misjudged.
