Chapter 557:
In the earliest abc-1 and abc-2 computers, the memory chips were directly soldered to the motherboard. It was not until later that memory evolved into a separate component of the computer host, in the form of memory sticks.
Compared with the original memory chip, the memory stick has many advantages. For example, first, the memory stick is usually a group of chips (8 or even 16), so the addressing space it can provide for the computer is much higher than that of a single memory chip.
At the same time, the memory sticks can be easily plugged and unplugged in the memory slots on the motherboard through a special interface design. Unlike the earlier memory chips, once they are welded to the motherboard, subsequent upgrades and replacements are basically impossible.
The memory particles, that is, the packaged memory chips, are assembled into memory sticks, which are mainly divided into three steps. The first is to design and produce a special PCB (printed circuit board), and all the memory chips on the memory stick are connected to the computer motherboard through the printed circuit board.
After making the dedicated memory pcb, the second part is screen printing. The so-called screen printing is to attach solder paste to certain designated positions on the printed circuit board through a hollow mold. And these places where the solder paste is attached are exactly where the memory chips need to be soldered next.
So the last step is to precisely grab the memory chip to the position where the solder paste is attached, and then heat it in an oven. When the solder paste melts and then cools down, all the memory chips are firmly connected to the pcb. , forming a complete memory module.
Although the production process of memory sticks is much simpler than previous memory chips. But how to optimize the circuit performance on the pcb. In fact, it is a test of the technical skills of the R&D personnel. After the pcb is produced, how to accurately glue the chip to the pcb is another production problem!
When Liu Chuanzhi and Liu Wei communicated. The idea of making my own memory flashed in my mind. Because compared to the more tightly controlled processors, Batumi's review of memory is much looser. Lianxiang can completely import memory particles from foreign semiconductor companies and then produce memory sticks by itself.
But Liu Chuanzhi is not hot-headed, he knows the truth that greed can't chew too much! Technology research and development has always been a high-risk thing, because your large investment does not necessarily get the corresponding return.
Lianxiang's previous luck was not bad, and it successfully developed a motherboard with a good price/performance ratio, thus allowing itself to take the lead in the market competition with its domestic counterparts.
But in order to develop their own motherboards. Liu Chuanzhi had invested almost all the profits accumulated by Lianxiang Company in the past two or three years. If the performance of the original motherboard is unsatisfactory, the entire development plan of Lianxiang will suffer a major blow.
And don't look at the production technology of memory sticks. Much lower than making memory chips. However, the current background of Lianxiang Company is still a difficult and high-risk research and development. What Lianxiang needs to do now is to rapidly expand the market by virtue of the cost advantage brought by its own motherboard.
at the same time. The motherboard developed by Lianxiang Company is only the first generation product. There is room for continued improvement. So instead of taking the risk to develop another brand new R&D project, it is better to invest the limited funds in the technical improvement of the existing motherboard, which is obviously much safer!
Although Liu Chuanzhi has no plans to let Lianxiang Company produce its own memory for the time being, he is very interested in visiting the memory production factory. Since Liu Chang came to the door himself, Liu Chuanzhi simply put forward that he hoped to visit the other party's factory for on-the-spot inspection.
The production process of memory is not something that needs special confidentiality, so Liu Chang readily agreed to the request of the other party, and personally drove to the hotel where Liu Chuanzhi was staying the next morning to pick him up.
"This production line has a high degree of automation. The cost should be high, right?" Liu Chuanzhi said with emotion, pointing to a large set of automation equipment in front of him.
The machine not far from him is called the Grabbing Machine. It can automatically pick up the chip from the feeder and place it precisely where there is solder paste on the PCB without any human manipulation. The whole process only takes a few seconds.
"Yeah, this set of equipment imported from the United States cost nearly 30,000 US dollars. In order to raise funds, we had to conduct the third round of financing!" Liu Chang nodded and said.
Feiyue does not have its own pcb factory. The pcbs required by the company to produce memory are all OEM production by upstream manufacturers according to the design provided by Feiyue.
However, the total number of front-line workers in the entire Feiyue Technology Company still exceeds 100. After the pcb is soldered and mounted on the chip, it becomes a real memory stick. However, if these products are to be marketed, they must undergo strict factory inspection. For example, the staff sitting behind the X-ray machine needs to review each solder joint of each memory stick, but ensure that each solder joint has been soldered firmly.
"$30,000 is not a small amount!" Accompanied by Liu Chang, Liu Chuanzhi was very interested in Feiyue's fundraising ability after visiting Feiyue's factory.
You must know that Feiyue has been established for less than a year, and its fixed assets have exceeded 10 million yuan. It has been almost four years since the company was founded, and its total assets are estimated to be less than 10 million yuan!
There must be many reasons for the future development of Lianxiang Company~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but the most important ones are undoubtedly technology and capital. Especially funds, if Liu Chuanzhi has sufficient funds in his hands, Lianxiang's development pace will be much faster than it is now!
Next, Lianxiang will carry out a large-scale market expansion, and it is also very hungry for funds. Lianxiang's market expansion is by opening brand stores, which naturally require a lot of cost. If Liu Chuanzhi learns from Feiyue and quickly raises a large amount of money, he can open Lianxiang's specialty stores all over China's major cities in one go.
"This is the power of venture capital. Good projects never lack funders! As long as you can convince others that your project can bring huge returns, then naturally someone will take the initiative to send you money! If Mr. Liu is interested, I can Provide you with some information on this!
In fact, the company I used to work for was Hong Kong Oriental Ventures! It is the largest venture capital fund in Hong Kong and even in Asia, and has successfully incubated more than a dozen listed companies! "Liu Chang said with a smile. (To be continued.)
