Chapter 433 Finding the Light Source
Chapter 433 Looking for “Light Source”
"Well, Mr. Yan, your analysis is still very reasonable."
After listening to Yan Hanzhang's analysis, Hu Yang was secretly surprised. He had never noticed that Yan Hanzhang was a master of business warfare.
"Mr. Yan, what we have to do next is to stabilize the current situation. In addition, tell Lao Sa that we must launch an impact on the high-end field. I have a feeling that the 3G era is coming soon, especially 3G
Mobile phones will show explosive growth in the future.
At that time, the market demand for flash memory will surge, and the requirements for flash memory will also be higher. Therefore, we must do a good job in research and development and come up with our own high-end products as soon as possible."
3G is the third generation mobile communication technology, which refers to cellular mobile communication technology that supports high-speed data transmission. 3G service can transmit voice and data information at the same time. It is a new generation mobile communication system that combines wireless communication with multimedia communication such as the Internet.
Currently, the International Telecommunications Union is soliciting 3G standards, and the 3G era is really no longer far away.
The arrival of the 3G era will promote the rapid development of the semiconductor industry including logic chips and memory chips.
In the words of Hu Yang, that will be the next trend.
"Okay, Mr. Hu, I'll make arrangements right away."
Yan Hanzhang received the support of Hu Yang, and he needed to formulate a development plan with Huang Tao and others later.
Regarding the price war launched by S Star this time, Charming Semiconductor has lifted the crisis warning. This also indicates that Charming Semiconductor's products have completely established a foothold in the market, and the next step is how to make it bigger and stronger.
In fact, in this price war, S-Star's target was originally Charming Semiconductor. But then they discovered that Charming Semiconductor's technology was advancing rapidly. Even if the price of mid-range products was pushed down to near the cost line, Charming Semiconductor still refused to give in.
There is another key issue here, and that is the problem of low-end products. Since S-Star has actually withdrawn from the production of low-end products, Charming Semiconductor can be said to be invincible in this area, and its profit margin is not low at all.
After the first stage of the price war, S-Star itself has also made an assessment. If it really wants to defeat Charming Semiconductor at any cost, it will take at least three years, and they themselves will be seriously injured.
That’s why S-Star changed its target to Qimonda. After all, there will be losses in any price war. If we don’t defeat a competitor to replenish our blood, wouldn’t it be a big loss?
It can be said that Charming Semiconductor's ability to survive this wave of price wars is not just luck.
After Yan Hanzhang left, Hu Yang sat in his office and reflected seriously. He felt that he had benefited a lot from this price war.
"Mr. Hu, I got a call from Xijiang and told you to attend the meeting in two weeks."
At noon, Lin Yan knocked on the door and came in, calling Hu Yang to go upstairs for dinner and telling him about an important meeting.
Hu Yang nodded. As a representative, he would definitely not miss every annual meeting. When he was in Shanghai, he was still thinking that this year's proposal would focus on supporting the development of the domestic integrated circuit industry.
After eating, Hu Yang took a nap and then began to formulate the content of the proposal.
He spent the whole afternoon making a draft on the computer, and then asked Lin Yan to revise it. When revising, Lin Yan had to extensively consult with Yan Hanzhang, Meng Rusong, Chen Jialin, Huang Tao and others for their opinions, trying not to make any omissions in various professional aspects.
A week later, in Shanghai, Wang Qingquan signed a capital increase and share expansion agreement on behalf of Hu Yang, and Dongke Electric officially became a shareholder of Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd.
After the completion of this round of additional issuance, the financial strength of microelectronic equipment has reached a big level. Zhang Xiao believes that the company will soon make major breakthroughs in mid-range and low-end lithography machines.
As for high-end lithography machines, we can only take our time and do some basic research from now on.
"Mr. Hu, this season, there is heavy snowfall in the north. I would like to invite you to go skiing in Northeast China. Are you interested?"
Hu Yang felt that Zhang Xiao should be very busy now, but that day the other party suddenly called and asked to go skiing with Hu Yang.
"Skiing? Director Zhang still has such a good time. Okay, you can set a time."
Hu Yang did not refuse. He always felt that Zhang Xiao was not a simple person. Maybe a domestic high-end lithography machine could really be born in his hands.
Zhang Xiao didn't say much, and decided to meet up in Checheng three days later, and then go to Baishan.
"Assistant Lin, please help me apply for a flight route in three days. I'm going to a train station."
Hu Yang counted the time, and he still needed to return to Xijiang to hold a representative meeting. So after going to Checheng this time, he decided to fly directly to Xijiang from there.
When I got home in the evening, Tian Sichun happened to be here too, and she had already arranged dinner.
"Chunchun, I'm going to a car town in a few days. Do you want to go skiing with me?"
While eating, Hu Yang asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay. But you're not going there just for fun, right? Will it delay your business?"
Tian Sichun still wanted to go.
"You don't have to worry about those things. You can play with yourself. When you're done, go back to the deep sea. I have to go to Xijiang for a meeting."
Hu Yang also felt that Zhang Xiao invited him not just for a vacation. But Zhang Xiao would tell him about it sooner or later, so he didn't have to rush to ask.
After dinner, Hu Yang thought about it and called Chen Jialin again and asked him if he wanted to go skiing.
Chen Jialin had not taken a vacation for a long time. When he received a call from Hu Yang, he agreed without saying a word and said he would take Liu Jia with him.
"Miqi stays, Assistant Lin, Li Jie, and Dacheng will go to Checheng with me."
We can't always let Lin Yan stay behind. He will be away for a long time this time, so let Mi Qi stay behind at the company.
When the day came, Hu Yang and his party left the deep sea by plane and flew to Checheng.
After arriving at the airport, everyone really felt the severe cold climate in the Northeast. Fortunately, Liu Jia, Tian Sichun and Lin Yan all brought thick down jackets, otherwise they would all have cried.
Chen Jialin is better. Populus euphratica is probably more accustomed to this kind of cold.
The winter in Xijiang is also very cold, basically comparable to that in Northeast China. After leaving the terminal, Li Jie contacted the hotel he had booked in advance, and the other party told him the license plate number and the contact information of the driver sent to pick him up.
Li Jie immediately made a call, and soon a 19-seater minibus drove over.
Hu Yang and others put their luggage in the car and went directly to the hotel they booked. This minibus was also rented from the hotel, which was very convenient.
"Brother Hu, where is the friend who asked you to come skiing with you? Why is there no one there?"
The group of people arrived at the hotel and stayed at the hotel. They were too lazy to go out in the cold weather, so they just had something to eat in the hotel restaurant.
Chen Jialin saw that no one had joined Populus euphratica until now, so he smiled and asked.
"You're talking about Director Zhang from Microelectronics Equipment. His flight from Shanghai is slightly shorter and he can arrive before tonight."
Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao made an appointment to meet today. At this time, Zhang Xiao should still be flying.
"Then what are we doing in the afternoon? You didn't say you were going to sleep in the hotel, right?"
Chen Jialin finished eating in three mouthfuls and didn't want to go back to his room to sleep.
"Free time in the afternoon, you can go wherever you like."
Hu Yang was too lazy to go out. Besides, he had to wait for Zhang Xiao.
"No, I've never been here before. Let's go walk around the streets together. If Director Zhang arrives, he will also call you."
Regardless of whether Hu Yang wanted to or not, Chen Jialin dragged him along with Liu Jia and Tian Sichun to go shopping together.
Hu Yang couldn't resist him, so he simply called everyone up and walked out directly. The hotel is located in the city center, and it only takes about ten or twenty minutes to walk to the commercial street.
After wandering outside for more than an hour, even Liu Jia and others lost interest in continuing.
When the group walked back to the hotel, Zhang Xiao also arrived.
"Mr. Chen, let me introduce to you. This is Chairman Zhang Xiao of Modu Microelectronics Equipment Company. Director Zhang, this is Chen Jialin, the CEO of Hard Rock Technology."
At this time, Zhang Xiao had completed the check-in procedures, and Hu Yang took Chen Jialin to visit him in the room.
"Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!"
Chen Jialin and Zhang Xiao didn't know each other before, but Nishite Technology is more famous in China than microelectronics equipment.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao was very polite. Chen Jialin's social skills were also very strong. After being polite, the two started talking and laughing.
"Director Zhang, you are definitely not here just for skiing? Tell me, is there anything else?"
Hu Yang didn't ask this question until now. He didn't believe that Zhang Xiao was so idle.
"Haha, Mr. Hu still understands me. The main reason I came to Checheng this time is to go to the Institute of Optics and Mechanics to talk to them. I'm afraid that I am not important enough on my own, so I will involve you, Mr. Hu."
As expected, Zhang Xiao had other purposes for coming to Northeast China.
When Hu Yang heard the name of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, he knew what Zhang Xiao wanted to do. He wanted to solve the problem of light sources.
Although the Auto City is not an economically developed city, it has a strong industrial foundation. As the cradle of the domestic automobile industry, this city is known as the "Detroit of China."
In addition to the automobile industry, there are also many bright spots in other aspects. For example, the Checheng Institute of Optics and Mechanics mentioned by Zhang Xiao was founded in 1952 and is an optical precision instrument research base under the National Academy of Sciences.
The Institute of Optics and Mechanics has successively participated in major national engineering projects such as "Two Bombs and One Satellite" and "Manned Spaceflight". It can be said that if there are several domestic research institutions that can solve the problem of light sources required for high-end lithography machines, then Checheng
The Institute of Optics and Mechanics is definitely at the top of the list.
The Checheng Institute of Optics and Mechanics has always been responsible for major national scientific and technological research tasks. Zhang Xiao was not sure that he could reach a cooperation agreement with the other party, so he roped in Hu Yang.
Hu Yang smiled and said nothing. He felt that Zhang Xiao was overthinking. The Institute of Optics and Mechanics is a national research institution, and no matter how strong the financial strength of Hu Yang’s Huijia Department was, they would not necessarily give him face.
Chapter completed!
