Monday.Xiao Bai, accompanied by the person in charge of the Rongcheng factory of Times IC Manufacturing (Group), inspected the local projects under construction.The 12-inch wafer production line with a monthly output of 60,000 pieces in Rongcheng adopts 28N process technology, and has entered the final debugging stage of the equipment."
Xiao Dong, the installation and commissioning of the equipment is very smooth.In the past two years, domestic equipment has made great progress, and now the performance indicators have also been improved, which is not worse than imported equipment. ”The person in charge of Rongcheng has been praising domestic equipment when it comes to domestic equipment.Domestic equipment suppliers are much stronger than imported equipment in the after-sales service.Take this project as an example, from the beginning of equipment installation and commissioning, the manufacturer's technical personnel will participate in the whole process, and any small problems can be solved in a timely manner."
I didn't expect your progress to be so fast, everyone has worked hard!
When will the preparation for pilot production begin?
”Xiao Bai was very satisfied with the progress of the project and praised the entire management team.There is no doubt that a generous bonus will be handed out next, and this is what they deserve.The next key point is the situation of trial production."
We plan to start trial production next week, and according to the current operation of the equipment, the technical indicators of trial production will definitely not be bad."
Although the person in charge of the factory did not say anything to death, his strong self-confidence was overflowing.Xiao Bai smiled and nodded, giving the other party an encouraging look.He should not have left Rongcheng next week, and he will be there in person to wait for the preliminary data of trial production to be released.Midday.Xiao Bai had lunch in the staff cafeteria, and took the time to chat with the employees of the new factory, feeling that everyone's mental state was very good."
Xiao Dong, Wei Dong is on his way from the airport, and it is expected to arrive in 30 minutes."
After eating, Xiao Bai did not take a lunch break, and worked directly on the site to solve some thorny problems encountered in the construction process of the factory.These questions mainly refer to some things outside the enterprise.Xiao Bai recorded these problems and kept communicating with them through Tong Wanqing and Rongcheng.Some of the blocking points and difficulties were answered immediately, and the other party who could solve them promised to solve them as soon as possible.If it is difficult to solve it for the time being, the other party has also given a timetable.In this process, he waited for Wei Xiaolou, who came from the capital."
Xiaolou, are you tired?
Do you need to take a break?
”When Xiao Bai saw Wei Xiaolou, who was in the dust, he was the first to express his concern."
Xiao Dong, it's not appropriate for me to rest when you work on site.Seriously, I wasn't tired at all, I slept on the plane, and I was in Chengdu as soon as I woke up. ”Wei Xiaolou made a joke, and then followed Xiao Bai to the conference room."
Xiao Lou, you can't take the action of T electricity lightly.We have two choices, one is to take action to delay the implementation of the other party's project as much as possible, and the other is to be ready to face the battle. ”The other party placed the battlefield in the mainland, and Xiao Bai naturally would not be polite.For Xiao Bai, the mainland is his home turf.Fighting at home, the right time and place are available, and if you don't make full use of the favorable conditions, you will be foolish.To the extent permitted by the rules, it is necessary to create obstacles to the implementation of the other party's plan.In addition, the key is to respond proactively, and not to hope that the other party's plan will fail.Even if it is delayed for a period of time, sooner or later you will have to face it, and you will still have to use your strength to speak when the time comes."
Yes, it is difficult to completely stop the other party's plan, at most, it is to create some problems for them and delay the implementation of the plan.I estimate that we can delay each other for about a year at most, and if it is longer, I am afraid it is not realistic.As for the response, we already have a detailed plan.Our new localized production line has an advantage in construction cost, as long as the yield rate and production capacity can be raised, at least in the 28N process, we are not afraid of each other at all. ”Times IC manufacturing is gradually getting out of the predicament, especially the success of the national production line (de-M), which has brought unprecedented confidence to Wei Xiaolou.If the advanced process is currently the world of T electricity, then in terms of mature process, Wei Xiaolou is confident to compete with the other party.Confidence comes from the improvement of the state of technology, especially the rapid expansion of production capacity.In addition, the improvement speed of domestic equipment is very fast, and various performance indicators are making rapid progress.In the final analysis, there are still too few application scenarios in the past, and it is difficult for various manufacturers to survive, so how can they have the strength to do research and development?"
Xiaolou, you will continue to increase investment in research and development.The technological progress of T electricity in recent years is obvious to all, and in the final analysis, it is still the technical process that will be fought in the future. ”Xiao Bai didn't dare to underestimate T electricity, and reminded Wei Xiaolou again."
Don't worry, Xiao Dong, I will definitely be ready for it."
Wei Xiaolou nodded, he also didn't dare to underestimate the other party.Before he came to Chengdu, he also signed a document to increase this year's R&D funds, after all, for companies like IC manufacturing, technology is fundamental."
Well, let's do that for today.Tomorrow, let's go and see another project together. ”Xiao Bai chatted with Wei Xiaolou for a while, and then got up and prepared to leave the factory.Times IC Manufacturing (Group) Co., Ltd. and listed companies have several factories in Rongcheng and three projects under construction.Covers 28N process and 14N process.In the next few days, Xiao Baiwei Xiaolou inspected all the local factories and projects under construction of Times IC Manufacturing, and was generally satisfied with all aspects.Wei Xiaolou stayed in Rongcheng until the trial production line of Rongcheng 28N, and Xiao Bai also came to the scene on the day of trial production.After subsequent evaluation, the trial production was very successful, the yield rate index reached the excellent level, and the rest is the problem of capacity ramp-up."
Dong Xiao, the situation in Rongcheng is good, I will sum up my experience after I go back, and I will promote it in the whole company in the future.I was impressed by Li Youran's talent, and Huitou Group will officially appoint him as the manager of Times IC Manufacturing (Group) Rongcheng Company. ”Wei Xiaolou was about to return to the capital, and before leaving, he met with Xiao Bai and chatted.The Li Youran he said was the person in charge of Rongcheng, and he only had one name before, and this time Wei Xiaolou will be officially appointed after he goes back.Rongcheng Company includes all the assets of the group company in Rongcheng, but does not include the assets of Times IC Manufacturing Co., Ltd."
Well, it's time for me to leave in the next two days.But I'm going to go to the mountain town, so I'll call if there's anything I need. ”Xiao Bai sent Wei Xiaolou to the parking lot and watched the other party leave.The next day.Xiao Bai went to Shancheng to inspect his various enterprises, accompanied by Tian Chunxiu, and Liu Xiaoling had already flown back to Shencheng with her two children."
Ah Bai, I'll stay here for about half a month.The company's business is now divided into two parts, Liansheng Pharmaceutical and Feilong Biotechnology, and its production bases are also scattered in ZH, Jianghan and Shancheng. ”Tian Chunxiu used to run mainly in ZH and Shancheng, but now there is another Jianghan.In recent years, the company's pharmaceutical business has developed steadily, but biological agents, especially vaccine products, have sprung up, which has occupied a large part of Tian Chunxiu's energy."
I have to go back after a few days, it's an eventful time now, I can't stay in Shencheng, let's see you in Xiangjiang when you're done."
Xiao Bai only stayed in the mountain city for three days, and then returned to the deep city.On the first day of work after coming back, he received news that T Power had reached an intention with Jinling to invest in the construction of a (12-inch) wafer production line with a monthly output of 120,000 pieces in the local area, which would use 28N process technology."
Xiao Dong, this is much more than the planned output that broke out before, at that time, it was said that the investment and construction will be divided into three phases, and the monthly production capacity of the 28N process in each phase is only 60,000 pieces."
Juvinson was temporarily in charge of the overall work during this time, and he specially came to tell Xiao Bai the news of T Telegram.He believes that the reason why T Electric has accelerated the pace of project implementation is that he has seen the crazy expansion of IC manufacturing in the times."
Mr.
You, on behalf of Times Technology Group and Times IC Manufacturing (Group) Company, you will go to Jinling.Talk to the local people, if the Times Department is willing to go to them to invest and build a factory, what kind of conditions can the other party give us?
”Xiao Bai's idea is very simple, that is, to interfere with the implementation of the other party's plan.He sent Juwenson to talk to the local people in Jinling about investing in the construction of a factory, and it was not all a false move.If the local people can choose the era of IC manufacturing and give up T electricity, Xiao Bai will certainly fulfill his promise.If you want to eat it locally, the possibility is relatively small."
I see, I'll leave right away."
Juvinson understood Xiao Bai's intentions, so he was not verbose, and flew to Jinling with a few of his men the next day.In fact, Xiao Bai also knows that large-scale investment projects like this generally do not make changes easily.He doesn't want a radical change, as long as it delays the implementation of the other party's project.He also learned this trick from the island's enterprises.Xiao Bai was actively coping, and Fang Meijun was not idle.The influence of industry associations is much greater than ordinary people think, and many enterprises in the mainland that have no demand for advanced manufacturing processes have expressed their support for IC manufacturing in the times.To put it bluntly, these companies are not afraid of offending T Electric.With a choice, everyone is willing to strengthen the reliability of supply.Comparatively speaking, of course, IC manufacturing is more reliable in the times, and there have been lessons to be learned.Just look at Liao Hongxing, Liao Hongxing's company used to make smartphones.It's just that when the external environment changes, the supply problem becomes a big issue of life and death.Fortunately, there is an era of IC manufacturing, otherwise Liao Hongxing would have to cry and faint.With such a lesson from the past, Fang Meijun didn't even have to say much, and easily got the support of a large number of enterprises.Li Cheng started from the regulatory level and actively stated the pros and cons of this matter.Although the other party has reached an investment intention with the local government in Jinling, the project has not yet obtained project permission, which means that there are still uncertain factors in the project review."
Dong Xiao, Jinling is very polite to us, but it is relatively cold about project negotiations.My guess is that the local area may have received some of the promises from T Electricity, and these promises are very attractive to the local area. ”After Juvinson went to Jinling, he got in touch with the local area.The local area was very polite to Juvinson and his party, and the reception work was arranged in an orderly manner, which almost gave several people the illusion of going out on vacation.But there has been no substantial progress at all."
It seems that our investment projects are not attractive, and it is not right, it can only be said that other people's projects are more attractive.Mr.
You, in this way, you can continue to increase the size.How to say it specifically, you discuss it with Xiaolou and Jianjun.Remember, once the other party changes their attitude, our promises will be kept. ”Xiao Bai does not need to make a specific analysis for Juwenson, the other party is the real master negotiator.He only cares about the principles, and doesn't care about anything else.In fact, this is not the first time TD has invested in building a factory in the mainland.It's just that the previous investment projects are all old processes, and advanced processes will not be put here.Even if it is a relatively backward process, T Electric is also strictly guarded in terms of technology.The technical staff are all sent from the company's headquarters, and the local employees are not only exposed to the core technology, but also the ordinary technology.From the perspective of cultivating local talents, it is appropriate to choose the local IC manufacturing industry.But often things are complex, and it's not easy to deal with."
Okay, I'll talk to the other party again."
Juvinson soon hung up.But what happened next greatly exceeded Xiao Bai's expectations, no matter how much Juvinson increased, the local area was bent on cooperating with TD.Xiao Bai also learned later that TD had drawn a big pie for the local area, saying that in the future, it could consider transferring some of the production capacity of advanced processes.It is said to be an advanced process, but it is not said that the specific node is not known, and I don't know whether it is a 14n node or a 7n node.Juvinson's first trip to Jinling basically ended in failure.Although the local community did not directly reject the IC manufacturing of the times, it is clear that they have already made a choice."
Mr.
You, our disruption didn't work.I didn't want to fool them, but the local people still chose TD, and the responsibility for this matter is not yours. ”After Xiao Bai saw Juvinson, he took the initiative to take responsibility.Because one's own side is equivalent to the one who is stirring up the situation, if the local mind has been decided, it is indeed difficult to make the other party waver."
It can't be said that it didn't work at all, at least in the process of contacting us, the date of the official signing with TD was postponed by a month.Combined with the delay in the project declaration, I estimate that it can buy us about two months, which is better than nothing. ”Juvinson was in a good state of mind, and then he explained with a smile.It can only be said that there are local masters who have seen through the intentions of the times.In order not to complicate things, the other party still chose TD."
Didn't the other party say it to death yet, you go back and take the time to go again.If this trip still doesn't work, then let's give up our plan to disrupt the situation. ”Xiao Bai didn't care much about success or failure, and there was little hope of success in this matter.And that's just one aspect of the coping strategy.Twenty or so days passed.Juvinson went to Jinling again, and as expected, this time there was nothing, and the local gave a clear answer that they were about to sign with TD.
