Chapter 386: Fighting for the 65(nm) process high ground

"Everyone, the entire industry has been in a sluggish state in the past two years. At present, major companies are either conducting technology research and development or building factories to expand production capacity. I think this is the best time to catch up with international giants. There are no risks.

It’s everywhere, but we can’t be timid just because there are risks.

Is Xintong International short of funds now? Is it short of technical personnel? There is no shortage. In the past two years, under the leadership of Director Zhang and Mr. Meng, the company has made rapid progress in technology. We have done it before, and we can do it in the future! Everyone,

Now we should not hesitate or shrink. Even if we fail, we can just start over and it’s no big deal. Therefore, I support President Meng’s plan.”

Hu Yang has been thinking about Meng Rusong's plan for the past two days. Opportunities and challenges coexist. It depends on which end you care about.

In fact, Xintong International has now become qualified to take strategic risks. Hu Yang does not want the company to follow the footsteps of others, so he feels that it should be more radical at this time.

After Hu Yang finished speaking, the venue was quiet for a moment, and then there was warm applause.

Zhang Rulin frowned and looked at Hu Yang, who smiled at him and nodded.

Next, each director spoke one by one, and without exception, they all chose to support Meng Rusong's plan.

Zhang Rulin sighed secretly. He didn't know whether Hu Yang's choice this time was right or wrong. But regardless of whether it was right or wrong, today's meeting has already produced a result.

"Based on everyone's opinions, I announced on behalf of the board of directors that Xentong International will conduct research and development of 65 (nm) process technology. The meeting adjourned..."

Zhang Rulin knew that Meng Rusong had already made a lot of technical reserves. He had only just tasted the 90 (nm) process and had already moved the focus of his work forward one generation.

"Mr. Hu, am I a little too conservative?"

After the meeting, Hu Yang didn't stay much. He sent Zhang Rulin to the parking lot.

Zhang Rulin held the car door with his hand, looked at Hu Yang quietly, and suddenly asked.

"Dr. Zhang, there is no problem with being conservative or radical, but what the company needs is balance. When does it need to be conservative and when does it need to be radical? I think this plan dispute may have given the answer."

Hu Yang did not directly return to Zhang Rulin's question, but expressed his opinion from another angle, that is, Zhang Rulin and Meng Rusong are two sides of the same coin, and one cannot exist without the other.

"Haha, how cunning. Okay, Mr. Hu, you go and do your business. I'll go back and rest first. As the great man said, this world is yours and ours, but it is yours after all."

Zhang Rulin smiled and patted Hu Yang on the shoulder, then got in the car.

Hu Yang watched Dr. Zhang's old car drifting away, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Dr. Hu, the chairman just left like this? He didn't lose his temper, right?"

Meng Rusong came over at the right time and asked a little worriedly. He was not afraid of Zhang Rulin's majesty, but a kind of respect for the founder of the company.

Hu Yang shook his head gently, then stared at Meng Rusong and said: "You have issued a military order, and I hope you can win. From now on, when you want money to give money, and when you want people to give people, I have only one request, and that is to not hesitate.

Win the 65(nm) process technology at all costs!”

"Dr. Hu, don't worry, I will try my best."

The light radiating from Meng Rusong's eyes made Hu Yang feel what "fighting spirit" means.

As he said, no heavy hammer is needed to make a drum sound, Hu Yang just clicked to the end. Then he turned around and walked to his car and left Xintong International.

Before returning to the deep sea, Hu Yang allocated another 500 million yuan in research and development funds to Meng Rusong and told him that if it was not enough, he would file a report and apply.

During this trip to the magical capital, Hu Yang only met Sa Hongli once. Huang Tao was still traveling between places, and Yang Chenglin led the team to start designing new memory chips. Everyone had a lot of work to do, and Hu Yang didn't want to disturb them.

Currently, both Xentong International and Charming Semiconductor are expanding their production capacity, and the construction of new factories has reached the equipment installation stage.

Hu Yang estimates that these new factories will be put into production one after another starting from the end of the year. Of course, the release of production capacity of new factories is a slow process, and it will take at least the middle of next year to truly achieve mass production.

"Mr. Hu, in the week since you left, Samsung has made another big move. Their products have started a new round of price cuts, and a new product launch conference will be held next month."

Yan Hanzhang came to Hu Yang's office today and did not bring good news. What he brought was the news that his opponent had accelerated the speed of product upgrades.

"Mr. Yan, the impact of Samsung's price cuts on us is not as big as before. It is unrealistic to use price wars to defeat us. We still have to base ourselves on the domestic market and keep an eye on the trends of our opponents at the moment."

Charming Semiconductor's memory chips already have both low-end and mid-range products. However, the demand for low-end products is not small now, such as memory cards for copycat mobile phones and popular digital cameras.

Charming Electronics' music phones and camera phones use Charming Semiconductor's mid-range products. In fact, this is enough. After all, the current domestic mobile phones are not as high-end as Samsung, Nokia and other brands, which cost seven to eight thousand yuan each.

cell phone.

"Well, Charming Semiconductor has been selling a lot of low-end products recently. It seems that the demand for copycat phones really cannot be ignored."

Yan Hanzhang feels that Hu Yang's previous views are correct. It doesn't matter if you start at the low end, the main thing is to focus on quantity.

Design and production are two sides of the same coin, and technological progress requires thousands of refinements. The more you do it, the more proficient you become. This is actually a process where practice makes perfect.

The rise of copycat phones may have mixed reviews. But one thing is that it gave birth to the entire mobile phone industry chain and trained a large number of managers, technicians and skilled production personnel.

From this perspective, the rise of copycat phones is actually the basis for the rise of domestic mobile phones in the future.

While the two were talking, Lin Yan knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Wang from Huijia Holdings called just now and asked if you have time. He wants to see you for a work report."

The Mr. Wang that Lin Yan refers to is Wang Qingquan.

Wang Qingquan has not been with Huijia Holdings for a long time, and this investment of 1 billion yuan (in technology incubation companies) is the best proof of whether he can gain a firm foothold in the company.

For such a long time, Wang Qingquan has almost been in the technology incubator. It seems that his work has achieved preliminary results. Otherwise, what would he report to?

"You ask him to come here now, I won't go out right now."

Hu Yang nodded and agreed to Wang Qingquan's request. Now, except for members of the decision-making committee, such as Yan Hanzhang, Xu Younian, Xia Bing and others, everyone else has to call and make an appointment to meet Hu Yang.

"Then Mr. Hu, I'll go down first."

Yan Hanzhang knew that Hu Yang would be busy soon, so he took the initiative to leave the boss's office.

Forty minutes later, Wang Qingquan walked in.

"Mr. Hu, hello!"

"Mr. Wang, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing recently? I heard that you rarely go back to Yangcheng now and spend most of your time in the Technology Incubator Park."

Hu Yang had no airs in front of Wang Qingquan, so he immediately stood up and invited Wang Qingquan to the teahouse.

"Mr. Hu, I have raised funds for 38 companies during this period. According to our new evaluation system, three companies have reached the highest level of evaluation, the five-star level."

Wang Qingquan spread out the information in his hand and began to give a detailed report to Hu Yang.

Hu Yang listened very carefully. After Wang Qingquan finished his report, he came over and read the information patiently.

Hu Yang thought that the three five-star level technology incubation companies were all good. However, among the three-star level technology incubation companies, he saw a name in his memory, Ark Computer Co., Ltd.

Ark Computer, founded in 2001, is currently mainly engaged in the production and sales of complete computers, and is actively developing notebook computers, which has achieved certain results.

In Hu Yang's memory, Ark Computer has always adhered to the concept of low price and high cost performance, targeting the majority of students and working people, and has a good reputation.

Now, Nishite Technology is troubled by declining orders. Hu Yang and Chen Jialin plan to actively develop business in several aspects, including computer production OEM.

However, it is a bit late for Nishite Technology to get involved in computer foundry, and it has not yet found a strong partner.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qingquan had already injected capital into Ark Computer.

When Ark Computer was founded, the equity capital was only 10 million yuan. In this round of financing, Huijia Holdings invested 100 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the company's shares.

"Mr. Wang, the valuation of Ark Computer is not low."

Hu Yang put down the information in his hand. Wang Qingquan had just made a pot of tea and poured a cup for each person.

"Yes, there are still too few people like this. Their conditions are also quite harsh. No matter how the company's shares change in the future, Huijia Holdings must recognize the founding team's control over Ark Computer."

Wang Qingquan can understand the thoughts of these entrepreneurs. The business he founded is like his own child, and generally no one is willing to give it up.

"It doesn't matter if you give control to the other party. I see from your information that Huijia Holdings has two board seats in Ark Computer. This is good. We don't compete with them for control, but there is no need to give up management rights."

There are a total of five seats on the board of directors of Ark Computer, and Huijia Holdings occupies two seats. This result surprised Hu Yang.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded at Wang Qingquan, feeling very satisfied with his work performance, his vision, and his negotiation ability.

"Mr. Hu, I think so too. I think this company should be able to grow bigger and might even go public in the future, so I don't plan to make financial investment."
