"Recent orders are much less than the previous two months." Yu Wenge replied.

Kirin had an outbreak before. Most people will not change their mobile phones in the short term, so the drop in orders is very normal.

No matter what business you are doing, it is normal to have peak seasons. At this time, the economy has just emerged and is not as developed as in later generations. It is not possible to replace mobile phones every year.

"We will adjust sj002 to 199 yuan starting from the beginning of next month." Cao Mang said.

"Okay, boss, will the company have any products on the market in the future?" Yu Wenge asked.

According to the usual practice, when Cao Mang downgrades a product, a new product must be launched, so Yu Wenge took the initiative to ask.

"No products will be launched in the short term." Cao Mang replied.

September 20, 2005.

With the explosion of smartphones, the demand for memory chips is increasing, and the market is experiencing shortages.

Kingston, Infineon, Samsung, Hynix and other factories announced a 35% increase in memory prices.

Due to the increase in memory, the entire IT market has been affected.

However, a strange phenomenon occurred in China's computer market.

While everyone is raising prices, four brands of computers have not.

Tongfang Computer, Morizhou Computer, Ziguang Computer and Inspur Computer.

...

Beijing Rotten Brain Computer Company.

Yanagi Funashi frowned as he looked at the market research report sent by his subordinates.

"Nowadays, the memory price increase is a good opportunity to make back losses. Not only did they not increase the price, they also conducted promotions. Could it be that they signed a contract with Kirin?"

After muttering, Yanagi Funashi sent a message to his secretary, asking him to check the recent recruitment records of these companies.

Half an hour later.

Yanagi Funashi's secretary came to his office holding a folder.

"Chairman, these three companies are recruiting chip R&D personnel recently. They are in..." Yuan Hongqing put the document on the table and introduced.

The content in the file is recruitment screenshots from several companies.

Yanagi Funashi briefly looked through it.

"Haha, it seems that they have really signed a contract with Kirin. If you develop your own CPU, you are looking for death." Yanagi Funashi sneered.

...

Kirin fab.

Xu Zhiguo was modifying the lithography machine when Sun Zhuo hurried in.

"Brother, the trial production of the Nuwa chip has been successful," Sun Zhuo said.

They have successfully trial-produced 65 nanometers before, but this time the trial production is not 65-nanometer, but the trial production of 90-nanometer Nuwa chips.

The most time-consuming part of chip tape-out is making photomasks. Although Shanxing no longer manufactures chips for Kirin, the photomasks for Nuwa chips are still preserved.

Cao Mang obtained Nuwa's mask from Shanxing, which greatly reduced Nuwa's filming time.

This allowed the fab to successfully tape out Nuwa within two months.

"Has it been packaged and tested?" Xu Zhiguo asked.

"It has been packaged and tested, and is now being tested in harsh environments. So far, there are no problems." Sun Zhuo replied.

Xu Zhiguo did not reply, but concentrated on twisting the screws. Now that he had reached the step, he would have to start over again if he was distracted.

Ten minutes later.

Xu Zhiguo put the protective cover back on the photolithography machine and pressed the start button.

"Zhi~zi~zi"

Sun Zhuo was not idle either. He helped put the silicon wafer into the photolithography machine.

"Mr. Cao, you sent me an email this morning. Fifteen photolithography machines have arrived today. I have to modify the photolithography machines here. I will leave it to you to arrange for the machines to enter the factory." Xu Zhiguo said.

"Ah? Leave it to me? I can't do it." Sun Zhuo said fearfully.

"It's just arranging for the machines to come in. If you can't even do that simple thing, then get out of here next month." Xu Zhiguo said angrily.

He was speechless towards his junior brother, who was lazy, lazy and unwilling to take responsibility.

Nowadays, there are more and more jobs in the wafer factory, and he no longer plans to take care of Sun Zhuo, because he needs a capable assistant.

"I..." Sun Zhuo lowered his head like a child who made a mistake.

He had never seen Xu Zhiguo so angry, and he could hear that Xu Zhiguo was very disappointed.

"I understand." Sun Zhuo raised his head and said after hesitating.

Sun Zhuo knew that if he couldn't do it well, Xu Zhiguo would really tell him to get out, and he didn't want to lose such a good job.

...

2 a.m.

In order not to create pressure on the city's traffic, the photolithography machine is scheduled to enter the venue in the middle of the night.

Ten patrol cars and twenty motorcycles started the photolithography machine transportation team.

For this moment, Sun Zhuo drank three cups of high-concentration black coffee.

The security department pressed the reverse switch after seeing the patrol car drive to the door.

"Peng~"

"Peng~"

"Peng~"

The high-beam street lights on the lampposts on the roadside turned on, and the road to the wafer factory was as bright as daytime.

Trucks slowly drove into the wafer factory.

At this time, a patrol officer got out of the patrol car and walked to the security room.

"Fifteen transport trucks have arrived safely. If nothing happens, we will go back first," the patrolman said.

"Brother, the canteen has prepared a midnight snack for everyone, why don't we let the brothers have a midnight snack before going back." The security guard in the security room said with a smile.

"Isn't that bad?" the patrolman laughed.

"Brothers have worked hard all night, and it's just a midnight snack. Everything is legal and compliant." the security guard laughed.

At this time, the patrol officer was also a little hungry, so he agreed to the security guard's invitation.

...

Wafer fab import port.

Bindu Garrido walked out of a nanny car with a group of brothers.

This is already the second time he has transported a photolithography machine to the Kirin fab.

"Everyone, cheer up. After finishing this job, I will take you to Bangzi to be happy." Bindu Garrido said.

After hearing Bindu Garrido's words, all the brothers immediately became energetic.

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Bindu wants you to take a look at the environment first and confirm where the machines are placed," said translator Shen Yongwan.

[The book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years is the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. huanyuanapp ]

"No problem." Sun Zhuo nodded.

Sun Zhuo then took Bindu Garrido to see the lithography room to confirm the location.

The process of bringing the lithography machine into the factory is not complicated. Under the arrangement of Bindu Garrido, the lithography machine was sent to the corresponding lithography room.

Although this process is not complicated, it is quite time-consuming. It takes half an hour at the fastest for a photolithography machine to enter the factory.

...

It's nine o'clock in the morning.

Half of the photolithography machines have already entered the site.

Xu Zhiguo was very satisfied when he saw Sun Zhuo following the entry of the lithography machine with dark circles under his eyes.

"Sun Zhuo, please go back and rest first. Leave the rest to me." Xu Zhiguo patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Senior, let me do it. You go and modify the lithography machines. After the modification, there are still fifteen units left." Sun Zhuo said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll leave the matter to you." Xu Zhiguo nodded with satisfaction.

This little junior brother has finally grown up.
Chapter completed!
