City: Start A Chip Factory

Du Bo came this time and brought two people with him.

One is Wei Tao and the other is Jingjing.

Ning Jing is Du Bo's assistant. Needless to say, it's best to bring this with you when talking about work.

Wei Tao is Du Bo's technical and business manager, and can be described as having a "high position".

After this period of observation, Wei Tao is quite reassuring and has a very good character.

Du Bo decided to train him well.

When discussing business in the future, if it is not a particularly important customer, Du Bo does not need to show up.

Of course, it is not only Wei Tao who needs to be trained, but several more will be trained in succession.

After a company becomes bigger and stronger, talents become very important. You can't just leave everything to boss Du Bo to handle, otherwise you will be exhausted.

The restaurant where I met Yu Chengxi was called "Xiaoxiang Restaurant".

You can tell by the name, it probably specializes in Hunan cuisine.

Yu Chengxi probably just randomly chose this one that seemed okay and didn't care too much about face.

The people of Huawei Group may have always been pragmatic, otherwise they would not have achieved such great achievements.

Du Bo took Wei Tao and Ning Jing into the front hall and reported their names to the front desk clerk.

The front desk service asked Wei Tao and the others to be taken to the second floor.

Except for a part of the dine-in area, the second floor is all outside. The environment is pretty good, with the decoration design of Jiangnan Water Town.

The three of Du Bo entered a private room, where several people were already sitting there.

Sure enough, there was Yu Chengxi among them, and there were three others.

In addition to Cao Qingfei and Deng Zheng, whom I had met before, there was another big boss.

That is, Li Xiaolong, the general manager of the mobile phone division.

When Yu Chengxi introduced it to Du Bo, Du Bo couldn't help being surprised.

I didn't expect that I would be able to have dinner with the two big guys from Huawei this time. It was really an unusual situation.

Li Xiaolong looked at Du Bo and was more surprised than Du Bo.

I didn't expect that the boss of Du Bo Semiconductor would be so young.

You know, this is somewhat illogical.

Technology manufacturing, especially high-end semiconductor manufacturing, is not an area that anyone can get involved in.

Either have qualifications or relevant background.

After some background checks, Du Bo did not meet these two requirements at all.

Du Bo seemed to pop out of the cracks in the rocks.

Even though there are so many doubts, Li Xiaolong can no longer doubt Du Bo Semiconductor.

After all, there is probably no third company in the world that can produce Kirin 9000 tape-out.

The first two are Gulf Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Sansang, which are well-known international companies.

Du Bo wouldn’t go to Bay Semiconductor and Sansang for tape-out, would he?

Even if he wanted to do this, these two companies would not agree.

Therefore, Du Bo Semiconductor must have technology. Huawei's bosses and technicians have all come to this conclusion.

That's why Li Xiaolong took the high-speed train from Huawei's mobile phone R&D headquarters in Shanghai overnight.

After everyone ordered their dishes, the waiter served tea, and everyone started chatting formally.

Yu Chengxi: "Our technical department has tested the wafer, and all the indicators are unexpected... Well, they are very good anyway.

Du Bo brought tea and paid tribute to Yu Chengxi: "Thank you, Mr. Yu."

Mr. Yu burst out laughing and looked very happy.

This is also normal. After all, Kirin 9000 may finally return to its roots two years later.

This made everyone at Huawei Group breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Mr. Ren Jingfei waved his hand and said that no matter what the yield rate is, no matter how much the price Du Bo asks, as long as the Kirin 9000 chip can be made, we must do it at all costs!

But before that, there are still some things that need to be confirmed with Du Bo.

The most important thing is...

Yu Chengxi: "Boss Du, we believe that Du Bo Semiconductor does have the technical strength to manufacture 5-nanometer process chips, but we still have to ask something."

Du Bo nodded: "Well, Mr. Yu, please tell me."

Yu Chengxi: “First we have to confirm whether Du Bo Semiconductor can cooperate with Huawei.

Du Bo was stunned and didn't understand what Yu Chengxi meant.

Li Xiaolong added: "Boss Du, you know that ordinary chip manufacturing companies cannot cooperate with us."

Du Bo suddenly realized that the difficulties encountered by Huawei Group were not ordinary.

In fact, Li Xiaolong was too conservative. It should be said that almost all chip manufacturing cannot cooperate with Huawei Group.

Once you cooperate with Huawei Group, you will encounter big international troubles due to intellectual property rights and patents, and you will no longer even be able to buy high-end production equipment.

After all this trouble, it will close down if it is not good.

Bay Semiconductor is so awesome, does it dare to cooperate with Huawei Group?

Don't dare.

If you are so awesome, do you dare to compete with Huawei Group?

Don't even dare.

So Yu Chengxi and Li Xiaolong had this question.

After the two of them finished speaking, they looked up at Du Bo, looking quite nervous.

Du Bo chuckled: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Li, think about it, if I don't dare to cooperate with Huawei Group, why should I do the tape-out of Kirin 9000?"

Li Xiaolong was startled: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to buy the equipment?"

Du Bo waved his hand: "Mr. Li, I have already discussed this matter with Mr. Yu. Our machines and equipment are all developed by ourselves and do not involve the intellectual property rights of any company in any country.

Li Xiaolong was startled and looked at Yu Chengxi.

Yu Chengxi said awkwardly: "I forgot to mention this matter. Boss Du did say this matter. At that time... it was huge."

In fact, Yu Chengxi didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that Du Bo was just blowing off a student. (Dino Zhao) Who would have thought that Du Bo Semiconductor does have the technical strength of the 5-nanometer process and successfully taped it out.

The wafer was sent back to the chip technology department for testing, and the results surprised everyone.

Its process level is not inferior to that of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and even surpasses it in some aspects.

Now that it is confirmed that Du Bo Semiconductor can cooperate with Huawei Group, Yu Chengxi and Li Xiaolong are excited.

Yu Chengxi: "Boss Du, let's talk about the details of the cooperation next. In fact, we have a question, that is, there are no other semiconductor companies in the imperial capital. After the chips are manufactured, how will the packaging and testing be done? And then shipped to Isn’t it a bit troublesome to go to the south of the country?”

Du Bo turned to Wei Tao to explain.

Wei Tao: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Li, our Du Bo Semiconductor business provides one-stop service from chip production to packaging to testing."
