Huawei’s Big Trouble

Yesterday, Huaweigang placed an additional order of US$700 million.

I was notified today that the production plan has been adjusted and delivery will be postponed.

Although Huang Ming didn’t show it on his face, he was already furious in his heart.

It stands to reason that a large enterprise like Taiwan Electromechanical has top-notch equipment and technology in the world.

There shouldn’t be a problem!

Not to mention the postponement for an uncertain time! ! !

So, Huang Ming asked people in the industry to inquire privately.

And the result is directly infuriating!

It turned out that the fruit company was responsible.

They relied on their monopoly position in the mobile phone industry to forcefully jump in line.

Taiwan Electromechanical Co., Ltd. has pushed back Huawei’s chip production.

The chip problem on Huawei’s mobile phone is similar to that of Lao Luo’s Aizi mobile phone.

But it’s completely different.

Because Huawei is the leading local mobile phone brand in China.

It also entrusts the dreams of countless Chinese people to develop science and technology.

I hope that one day flowers can be on an equal footing with fruits.

And this Huawei P9 is the most promising model and can rival Fruit 6.

If chips cannot be produced now, Fruit will definitely be the first to be sold to many people and occupy the Chinese mobile phone market.

“Mr. Huang.”

At this moment, the assistant looked at the watch and reminded: “You have to attend the regular meeting.”

Every Monday at 10 o’clock.

It is a regular meeting of Huawei Company, and all business department directors must be present.

They need to report to the president on their previous work and outline next steps.

******

Flower for the high-level conference room.

Everyone was in formal attire, hands on their knees.

This is their corporate culture.

But if Su Chen comes in from outside at this moment.

He’ll think he’s back in training camp as a freshman.

Everyone was sitting upright, waiting for the arrival of an important person.

Soon an old man walked in quickly.

This is none other than Ren Yi, the founder and president of Huawei Company.

Although Mr. Ren is over seventy years old, he is in good spirits.

After he sat down, the senior management began to report work.

Wait until Huang Ming from the mobile phone division finishes speaking.

Everyone was surprised and shocked.

“TSMC actually delayed the delivery of our chips.”

“The time is still uncertain. This will delay the release of Huawei P9!” ”

Huawei P9 mobile phone is a major project of our company this year. Experts in optical communications are We hired 5 people.”

“If we miss this opportunity to be released on the same day as Fruit, everyone will definitely buy Fruit 6 first.”

“Nahua has worked hard to prepare for P9 for a year, and invested 3 billion in R&D and design alone. ”

So we can’t postpone it and we can’t release the phone after Fruit 6.”

Everyone has the same idea and wants the phone to be released as scheduled.

But suddenly someone said:

“That’s what I said, but if Taiwan Electromechanical does not deliver the goods, what can we do?”

This sentence left everyone speechless.

At Blue Star.

Only two factories can produce high-end mobile phone chips.

One is Taiwan Electromechanical, and the other is Sansang.

This time Huawei P9 is a high-end machine, and the chip manufacturing process requirement is 7 nanometers.

Therefore, only Taiwan Electromechanical Co., Ltd. can produce it.

Thinking of this situation, many people have become discouraged.

Ren Yi had a sullen face and said nothing, seeming to be in trouble.

at this time.

Huang Ming suggested: “How about we try to find China Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. as an OEM?”

Someone immediately raised an eyebrow: “China Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.? Never heard of it.”

“You just came back from a business trip abroad. This is a newly emerging factory. .”

“In terms of technology and manufacturing process, no one can compare with TSMC.”

As the world’s largest chip maker, it attracts investment.

The name of Taiwan Electromechanical is indeed well known to everyone.

Blue Star’s highest 7nm process can only be produced by Sansang and Taiji Electric.

Taiwan Electromechanical has even announced that it will complete 5 nanometers.

And at the same time.

Zhongxin International, China’s largest domestic chip company, cannot even produce 45-nanometer chips.

Baodaotai’s electromechanical chip manufacturing technology is at least five years ahead of mainland China.

As the president, Ren Yi naturally knows this situation.

He looked calmly and said, “Is there anything special about the Hua Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. you’re talking about?”

Because of his growing up environment and age, Mr. Ren rarely uses smartphones.

Therefore, he did not pay special attention to the previous car chip incident.

It is not unusual for a Chinese state-owned company to manufacture photolithography machines.

Because if you follow the gourd and draw the scoop, you can always imitate it well.

However, the accuracy and technology of photolithography machines cannot be achieved overnight.

Huang Ming said: “The boss of China Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is called Su Chen.” ”

He was angry because Qualcomm cut off the supply of automotive chips for car manufacturing, so he developed a photolithography machine and produced his own automotive chips.” ”

But what’s even more awesome is that, His lithography machines and chip factories can not only produce automotive chips, but also high-end mobile phone chips.” ”

Lao Luo, the former boss of Aizi Mobile, was able to successfully sell mobile phones and survive bankruptcy because he got chips from Huazi. Crisis.”

Ren Yi’s eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.

But he remained cautious.

There are two main reasons why Mr. Ren does not believe in Hua Semiconductor:

One is that the integration level is too high, and the other is that the area is too small.

The area of a mobile phone chip is only about 10 square millimeters.

That is, it is about the same size as the nail cap of your thumb.

And there is not only a CPU structure, but other structures such as ISP, DAC decoding chip, baseband, etc. are all included in it.

People who also question Hua Semiconductor include Huawei’s R&D team.

Among them are Ph.D.s in physics from Huaqing University, world math Olympiad champions, and professors who are immersed in the field of semiconductors.

Huang Ming saw the disbelief in everyone’s eyes.

He said, “Mr. Ren, I have two videos here. Take a look.”

The screen lit up.

It was the photolithography machine video played by Su Chen at the automotive chip launch conference.

Hiss~~~~~

I saw a majestic and advanced ultraviolet light source lithography machine weighing 180 tons.

I originally had no hope, and even watched people with a somewhat casual attitude.

Now I am immediately focused and my eyes are shining.

This is not the low-end ordinary photolithography machine from mainland China at all.

The advanced level of this new lithography machine has exceeded everyone’s awareness.

Wait until you see the comparison between Qualcomm chips and Kirin chips.

Everyone in Huawei’s R&D team was speechless:

“This chip is so high-end and advanced. How was it made?”

“With a 1-nanometer process, I can’t even think about whether the test equipment is broken. How could it be like that?” ”

I guess people at Ames and Qualcomm think so too. After all, machines have the possibility of detection errors.”

“But in any case, Huazhi’s lithography machines and chips are indeed cutting-edge.”

“I spend time in the laboratory every day, so I missed some great invention!”

Watching the shocking video of the lithography machine, listening to the discussion of the R&D team.

Ren Yi’s weather-beaten face showed little emotion.

For the first time, he showed joy and excitement.

He said loudly: “Book me a flight ticket quickly, I want to visit Mr. Su in person!”
