Chapter 483 The unexpected 3G era

"Mr. Hu, I was really relieved when I saw this batch of lithography equipment. I was afraid that something might go wrong in the process. If the other party delayed or stopped shipping, our losses would be huge.

."

That night, Hu Yang, Meng Rusong and Chen Jialin had dinner together. Meng Rusong almost shed tears when he talked about high-end lithography equipment.

Today, Xentong International is as good as Taipower in terms of process technology, and is probably about half a year ahead of S Star and Intel Corporation.

But this advantage is very weak. The competition in wafer manufacturing is like sailing against the current. If you make a slight mistake, not only will the advantage not exist, but you will fall behind.

The biggest variable here is the photolithography machine.

"Mr. Meng, it's not that I want to hit you. Although this batch of goods arrived on time, it does not mean that there will be no problems in the future. After 45nm, there will be 40nm, 28nm, etc. What if there is a problem with the lithography equipment?

?”

Huaxin's Jiang Lixing told Hu Yang a few days ago that those who have been collecting so-called "evidence" have been dealt with. However, the other party does not seem to give up. They are still looking for what they want through other channels.

Huaxin has temporarily suspended all cooperation with Xentong International and is in arduous negotiations with STMicroelectronics.

Hu Yang knows very well that even without evidence, Xentong International's high-end lithography equipment may not always be able to be supplied on time.

"Mr. Hu, we have continued the latest ideas and put forward an idea. That is to use existing 45nm equipment to carry out auxiliary transformation in the process. In theory, we can achieve the limit of the 10nm process.

Of course, there are still many difficulties in turning this idea into reality. But I firmly believe that this idea is correct, so technological breakthroughs are only a matter of time."

The small notebook that Populus Hu gave to Meng Rusong seemed to have opened a door. Although the wonderful ideas in the door could not be directly transformed into productivity, it had an immeasurable role in promoting the research and development work of Meng Rusong's team.

At present, international giants including Taipower have not yet mastered these advanced technical concepts. Therefore, Meng Rusong's team is standing at the top of the industry for the first time.

Hu Yang was overjoyed. If Meng Rusong's team can really solve this problem, then Xentong International will no longer have to worry about lithography machines in the next five years or even longer.

But then he thought of a problem: "Mr. Meng, you can't wait for a technological breakthrough before taking action. In my opinion, you should hurry up and order another batch of 45nm lithography machines now to avoid insufficient equipment."

When Meng Rusong heard that Hu Yang's statement made sense, he nodded and said: "Mr. Hu has thought carefully. I will handle this matter in the next two days."

Chen Jialin is also engaged in manufacturing, and he can understand how awesome the technological breakthrough Meng Rusong said.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Meng, I'd like to toast both of you. To be honest, Mr. Meng is truly a big shot in the industry. If your idea can really be realized, it will definitely be a technological leap in the field of wafer manufacturing!"

Hu Yang and Meng Rusong looked at each other and smiled. They were both full of expectations for this idea.

The three of them drank a drink together. Meng Rusong put down his glass and suddenly remembered something, so he said to Chen Jialin:

"Mr. Chen, when it comes to the ability to make money, Xintong International is not as good as your Nishiki Technology. I saw a report saying that in the third quarter of this year, Nishiki Technology's revenue will slightly exceed Hong Kong's."

Hai, is this true?"

Chen Jialin couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "How many of the reports by foreign media are reliable? There are still a few days before the end of the third quarter, oh, they have already released the results? However, our second quarter business performance

The difference between revenue and Hon Hai is less than 7%, and it is really possible to tie it in the third quarter."

Chen Jialin's seemingly modest words actually contain strong self-confidence.

Thanks to the rapid development of Mingkang Communications, Charming Electronics, and Ark Computer, as well as the brutal growth of domestic copycat phones, the revenue of Onshi Technology has been on the same level as Hon Hai.

Even if there is still a slight gap, the gap is very weak.

Chen Jialin is confident that he will completely catch up with Hon Hai around the end of this year. As for Wesley, he is now far behind Stubborn Technology and Hon Hai, and will not even be considered a rival in another two years.

Hu Yang raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen, my pocket money is all about you. Come on, let's have another drink."

Chen Jialin drank a glass of wine and pointed at Populus euphratica: "Brother Hu, can you spend billions in pocket money a year? To be honest, your personal expenses a year are not as much as mine. By the way, Meng

Boss, how many more days do you have to work here?"

Meng Rusong thought for a while and realized that the equipment installation and debugging had come to an end, and ordering new equipment would not take much time at all.

"Mr. Chen, I can finish it in three days at most. What, what do you think?"

"That's good. I'm thinking that we go to Xiangjiang on the weekend and go to the sea for two days. Mr. Meng, don't be like Brother Hu. He is always thinking about work all day long and is so tired. We still have to learn to enjoy life and not become

A slave to work, right?"

Chen Jialin and Meng Rusong have similar attitudes towards life. They are very hard-working at work, but when they have some free time, they both like to go on vacation.

"Mr. Chen, how can I rest? You know how to spread rumors all day long. But your suggestion is good. Let's go to the sea together on the weekend. I haven't been to the sea for a long time."

Hu Yang laughed and cursed, and then decided on the weekend activities.

It was rare for Meng Rusong to go to the deep sea once, so naturally he would not object, so the three of them made an appointment to go out to sea for vacation together on the weekend.

...

Under the starry night sky, blue waves rippled.

On the front deck, Hu Yang and Chen Jialin were lying lazily on deck chairs. There were some drinks and food on the small tea table, and there were two maritime satellite phones at hand.

There is no signal for mobile phones on the high seas. If these people completely disappear for two days, it will cause a big problem. Having learned from previous experiences and lessons, satellite phones are naturally indispensable.

Meng Rusong was fishing at night at this time, and his concentration on the fish made Hu Yang and Chen Jialin envious.

The two of them didn't expect that Meng Rusong, a technical geek, was actually a master of sea fishing. He tortured them once during the day and again at night.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, I discovered that fishing is also a technical job that requires talent. I may have grown up in the city farthest from the sea in the world, so this thing has nothing to do with me."

Populus euphratica sighed leisurely, looking like she was shocked by Meng Rusong.

"Hehe, Brother Hu, our eldest brothers don't talk about the second brother, and we don't compare with that guy. To be honest, every time I go to the sea on a yacht, I feel very relaxed. It feels so good not to think about anything! Tell me, in a few days

2020, shouldn’t we also consider retirement?”

The female assistant was behind Chen Jialin, gently massaging him.

Wu Xinhui was on the side, cutting a black watermelon from Hokkaido. She glanced at Populus euphratica secretly from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, let me tell you, I have always had an idea to retire at the age of 35. Alas, time is not forgiving. If you calculate carefully, I should retire in five years."

Hu Yang feels that living a leisurely life is decadent. For example, now, not only is he too lazy to move, but even his tone of voice has a drowsy atmosphere.

Chen Jialin quite agrees that he is slightly older than Hu Yang, which means that if he retires in 5 years, he will actually be over 35 years old?

The conversation between the two left Chen Jialin's assistant and Wu Xinhui speechless. The assistant involuntarily increased his strength, and Wu Xinhui almost cut her finger with the knife.

"Hey, please be gentle. Okay, there's no need to continue pressing. Just rest."

Chen Jialin grinned and thought to herself, these ladies have really strong hands.

Wu Xinhui quickly plated the cut black watermelon and brought it to the small tea table.

Hu Yang couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the expressions of the two women. He was just grinding his teeth with Chen Jialin, but he didn't expect to cause trouble to them.

"Assistant Wu, you go and have a rest. There's nothing going on here. We'll return tomorrow and we'll probably be back at the port in the afternoon."

Wu Xinhui quickly smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was not tired.

Without saying much, Populus euphratica stretched out his hand, grabbed a piece of watermelon, and started to nibble on it.

At this moment, the satellite phone belonging to Populus euphratica on the small tea table rang. Wu Xinhui quickly wiped her hands with a wet wipe, picked up the phone and pressed the answer button:

"Hi, hello."

After a while, Wu Xinhui handed the phone to Hu Yang and said, "Mr. Hu, this is the number of the senior manager of Mingkang Communications."

"Mr. Gao, where are you? Why do I hear the background over there is quite noisy?"

Hu Yang asked with a smile, thinking, Gao Mingkang went to a nightclub?

"Mr. Hu, a big event just happened. Just a few minutes ago, the International Telecommunications Union announced to the world that the next generation mobile communication technology (3G) standard was officially released."

Gao Mingkang's voice on the phone actually trembled a little. It was obvious that Mr. Gao was very excited.

"Didn't you say it would be until the end of the year or the beginning of next year? Why so soon?"

Hu Yang was not sure whether this was the butterfly effect. The 3G era in this time and space arrived several years earlier than in his previous life.

3G technology is an epoch-making technology. This also means that mankind will soon enter the era of information explosion.

"Mr. Hu, don't worry about the reasons. Hasn't this era already come? I am very fortunate that Mincom Communications has not only conducted research and development and reserve of 3G technology for a long time, but also participated in the formulation of 3G standards.

I just want to tell you, Mr. Hu, that our time has come!"

Gao Mingkang was influenced by Populus euphratica and had already started pre-research work on 3G technology. Moreover, Mingkang Communications also participated in the formulation of 3G standards together with Alcatel. He is confident that in this era, he can compete with international giants.

Has our time come?
