Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

In the past few years, after experiencing many bad external moves, and seeing domestic companies fighting back vigorously, and even surpassing Europe and the United States in weak projects, the public has long lost favor with companies such as Korean stars.

When the major manufacturers are gearing up to prepare for a big fight at the end of the year.

Suddenly bad news came.

On August 1, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Xiawei's consumer business, said in an interview with reporters that the Mate 40, which is expected to be launched this fall, may be equipped with the Kirin 9000, which may be an out-of-print Xiawei's high-end chips.

The media, who are good at investigating information, quickly found out the details of this matter.

It is reported that the Kirin 9000 will adopt TSMC's 5nm process. Due to restrictions, TSMC's chip production for Xia Wei only accepts orders before May 15th, and production will end in September. After that, TSMC will no longer be able to Shipment for summer.

After the interviews and survey results were transmitted through the media, Internet public opinion is divided.

Some people say that Xia Wei is hype, and there is a saying that it is not appropriate to say that Zaan people are spraying TSMC.

However, this high-tech industry such as semiconductors is so realistic.

Xiaxin Technology currently announces that it is still a 14nm process-grade chip, and the foundry cost of the 7nm process is too high to be commercially available on a large scale.

However, when public opinion in Daxia was chaotic, Han Xing, Pingguo and other company executives and the forces behind them laughed.

Han Xing has his own semiconductor factory and makes chips for himself.

Although Pingguo itself does not have a semiconductor factory, its market position is strong. Manufacturers such as TSMC are completely at a disadvantage and dare not refuse to accept OEM orders.

Not only that, in order to resist the Daxia chip raw material wafer offensive led by Kyushu Technology, with the efforts of all parties, TSMC officially announced that it will build a new 12-inch advanced wafer fab in Arizona, North America.

According to media reports, the fab will use TSMC's 5nm process technology to produce semiconductor chips, with a planned monthly production capacity of 20,000 wafers, which will directly create more than 1,600 high-tech professional job opportunities, and indirectly create the upper-middle class of the semiconductor industry ecosystem. Thousands of jobs.

The chairman of TSMC also stated in public that the plan is in line with the company's interests, the greatest of which is to gain the trust of customers and use local resources and influence to find the world's top scientific and technological talents.

However, everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart, and TSMC has no intention of standing in line at this time.

When everyone thought that winter was coming, another big news broke out.

Xiaxin Technology and all its suppliers have received a document. According to the requirements of the document, when suppliers export products or technologies to Xiaxin Technology, they need to apply for a license from the relevant department.

People suddenly discovered that even if Daxia could manufacture high-quality wafers and mid-to-high-end lithography machines, the top road suddenly broke.

At this time, the headquarters office building of Chengdu Jiuzhou Science and Technology Park.

Gu Qing looked at Xuanwu with a solemn expression and checked the latest situation.

"In addition to spending huge sums of money to build a production line for curved screen panels, Han Xing also needs to develop a laboratory supply system? Are they desperate?"

As we all know, the most direct benefit of factory production lines and mature production technology is to reduce the cost of products and improve production efficiency.

This concept was first born in the Qin Dynasty, and in the industrialization era, it was born in the automobile production workshop.

The first cars were handcrafted one by one by masters, and they were exclusive to the rich.

In Gu Qing's view, Han Xing's move is simply a return to his ancestors.

The laboratory has a lot of resources to engage in the production of new screens, and it also invests a lot of money to build new production lines.

"How long have they been testing? It can't be done while testing..."

In fact.

"Neon's opening is too strict, and the price of raw materials has increased several times. Calculated in this way, the cost of a screen is as high as two million Han Yuan (10818 Xia Yuan). Director Park, this price may be a bit too high .”

Park Sung-ho, who was promoted to the director of the OLED curling screen project of Hansung Display because of the discovery of new material synthesis technology and new panel structure, was very patient when faced with the questions of his researchers.

"The company urgently needs to produce screens of the same quality to compete with Kyushu Technology, so at this moment, cost is not the most important thing, just like the old saying that Daxia people once said: 'First solve the problem of availability'. "

The researcher nodded and said yes, although the Pu Chenghao in front of him was only in his thirties, but he was in the heart of the emperor at the moment, ordinary researchers like them did not dare to say anything.

"Accounting must be serious and responsible. Neon's channel is a little unstable. Our orders need to be more important, otherwise the follow-up production will not be able to keep up.

2 million screens, we have to prepare at least 200,000 screens, and it will take a month to transform the factory production line. They design and manufacture.

So when you report to President Cui of our display department, you must get a budget of at least 500 billion won (roughly converted to 400 million U.S. dollars, 2.7 billion Xia Yuan). "

President Cui's confidant researcher nodded, and then reflected this passage verbatim.

Cui Jindu's forehead was still a little red and swollen. He kowtowed a little too hard in the last meeting, but it's enough to keep his position.

He looked at the report in his hand and asked, "Did he really say that?"

The researcher nodded his head.

"Our resources in Korea are still too scarce. I heard that the raw materials used in Kyushu Technology's screens are independently developed and produced by them. Not only are they excellent in performance, but the cost is also cheaper than the market price."

Cui Jindu murmured a few words in a low voice, then quickly shut up.

Recently, Han Xing's internal atmosphere is paradoxical. He needs to control himself, make fewer mistakes, and avoid being scolded.

As for the choice, Cui Jindu, who has always been more aggressive, has calmed down a lot after several accidents.

The amount of 500 billion won is not much, and it can be done within his authority.

But it is impossible to just give the money.

Cui Jin thought for a moment, and based on the idea that the law does not blame the public, he instructed: "Tell him, I agree with this number in principle, but I can only reply to him after our high-level consultation."

The confidant nodded yes, and left the office.

President Cui watched the man leave, waited for dozens of seconds, got up and walked to the door of the office, locked it, and then slumped on the office chair.

"Big Xia, North America, and Neon's semiconductor industry are all making efforts. Although our Korean star's supply chain system is perfect, our country's resources are too scarce. How can we solve this?

Kyushu Technology has made the best screen, and the memory is also competing with Dajiang storage. In the new machine war this autumn and winter, can our Korean star win? "
