Chapter 622 Microelectronics Company

Thousands of salespeople are busy staking land all over the world. On the bank of Yunmeng Lake in Xunyang, a brand new electronic city is also rising at a dazzling speed.This is the factory area of ​​Hanhua Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., which is led by Hanhua Group and jointly funded by hundreds of domestic enterprises.Responsible for technology development here are Jiang Jie and Miao Xiaoqiong, PhDs in electronics who just returned from the United States.

More than ten years ago, Lin Zhenhua went to the impoverished Hanshan Township to recruit workers, and met these two orphans by chance in Hanshan Middle School.It may be because of their common background, or because Lin Zhenhua saw some stubborn brilliance in their eyes, he claimed these two children who lived in hardship, and funded them to complete their studies from middle school to university.

These two children did not embarrass Lin Zhenhua. They first entered Huaqing University with the first and second grades in Xunyang City. Pursuing a Ph.D. in Electronics in the United States.

After finishing their studies, the two met back to Xunyang and joined Lin Zhenhua's company.At this time, just as the construction of Hanhua Microelectronics Co., Ltd. began, the two accepted the appointment of R&D director and deputy director, and led a group of engineers recruited from all over the world to start an ambitious R&D plan.The microelectronics industry is an industry for young people. The average age of the team led by Jiang Jie and Miao Xiaoqiong is only 25 years old, and they are all young and energetic newcomers.

Lin Zhenhua established a microelectronics technology company to get rid of foreign dependence on industrial control chips.With the comprehensive numerical control of machine tool products, the domestic demand for industrial control chips is increasing. Putting the supply of industrial control chips in the hands of foreign companies for a long time will not only lose profits, but also pose hidden dangers in terms of safety and competition.Establishing his own chip company is Lin Zhenhua's ambition as early as 20 years ago.

Prior to this, neither the Hanhua Group nor the entire country had the economic level to support the microelectronics industry known as the "gold-absorbing beast".Although China's integrated circuit industry started as early as the 60s, due to foreign technology blockade and domestic supporting capabilities are very limited, integrated circuit production has been in a decentralized and semi-manualized state for a long time .

After the reform and opening up, my country's integrated circuit industry has gone through several stages of development and gradually formed a certain scale.Especially in the last 20 years of the 10th century, through two projects called "908" and "909", my country has built a chip production line capable of producing 6-inch and 8-inch chips with a technical grade of up to 0.24 microns, and has initially possessed The basis for catching up with international mainstream standards.

The investment in the 909 project reached 100 billion yuan. Measured by the national strength at that time, this was definitely a big project that cost a lot of money.At that time, Hanhua was busy occupying the market of CNC machine tools, where could it allocate capital and energy to get involved in this field.

Today, Hanhua is developing well in chemical equipment, machine tools and other fields, and has a lot of funds available for use.Lin Zhenhua seized the opportunity to launch the plan for the construction of the microelectronics industry, planning to spend a few years to first solve the supply problem of industrial control chips, and then enter other chip fields in due course.

A complete set of integrated circuit production equipment costs as much as 10 billion US dollars. If the investment in infrastructure and supporting facilities is included, it will cost more than 100 billion yuan.It is quite difficult for the Hanhua family to spend so much money. For this reason, Lin Zhenhua used his influence in the industry to persuade dozens of machine tool companies and dozens of home appliance companies to invest in shares. .

For these machine tool companies and home appliance companies, it is also a very beneficial thing to invest in Hanhua Microelectronics.Both CNC machine tools and smart home appliances need the support of industrial control chips. It is the common wish of everyone to have a chip company in which they own shares.In addition, all enterprises have also taken a fancy to the future development prospects of the electronics industry. Everyone believes that this microelectronics company will definitely develop into a behemoth even more spectacular than the current Hanhua in the future. What a joy it must be to own shares in a business.

As for Microelectronics Company being given the name of Highway, everyone has no objection. Highway is the largest shareholder in the first place. The future operation and management of Microelectronics will also rely on the mature management experience of Highway.Besides, the brand of Hanhua can be said to be world-famous now, and putting this new company under the banner of Hanhua will also help its development.

The factory building has already been built, but there is still no news of the proposed complete set of equipment to be imported from the United States, which makes the management of the new company somewhat uneasy.

According to the plan agreed with Ford, Lin Zhenhua made the old man Hornby of Tiger Corporation of the United States submit an application to the U.S. Department of Commerce to purchase a set of latest integrated circuit equipment and ship them to China for installation in the form of a fake joint venture.As expected, the U.S. Department of Commerce rejected the application on the grounds that such equipment is high-tech equipment restricted to China.

Hornby immediately filed a complaint, and Ford, Radka of the American Agricultural Society and others also heard the news and began to pressure the US Department of Commerce to release the equipment.The Commerce Department initiated a review process to begin reconsidering Hornby's application.So far, this procedure has not been completed, and the US Department of Commerce has not yet given a final answer.

"Mr. Lin, do you think the U.S. Department of Commerce will finally approve the export of this equipment?"

In the new laboratory building of Microelectronics Corporation, Jiang Jie and Miao Xiaoqiong worriedly asked Lin Zhenhua who came to inspect the work.

Lin Zhenhua looked confident, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, the U.S. Department of Commerce will definitely let it go, and it won't take too long."

"Mr. Lin, when we left the United States, there was a lot of hype about the China threat theory in the United States. I am worried that the U.S. Department of Commerce will not relax the export of high-tech equipment to China under this pressure." Jiang Jie reminded .

Lin Zhenhua said: "We have considered this situation a long time ago. The attitude of the United States towards China is also vacillating. Sometimes the voices of containing China will prevail, and sometimes the voices of friendship with China will prevail. I believe that when the When the latter voice prevails, it is time for the Commerce Department to back down."

"But..." Miao Xiaoqiong hesitated to speak.Although she and Jiang Jie have received Lin Zhenhua's sponsorship for 10 years, they were still students at that time, and there were not many opportunities to have an equal dialogue with Lin Zhenhua, so she is still a little timid in front of Lin Zhenhua.She felt that Lin Zhenhua's optimism seemed unfounded, but she felt inconvenient to say it directly in person.

"Xiao Qiong, don't worry, what I see is rarely inaccurate." Lin Zhenhua saw Miao Xiaoqiong's thoughts and comforted her: "First of all, I bet that the United States will soon There will be pro-China voices. Secondly, even if the U.S. Department of Commerce does not approve the export in the end, we are not helpless. He Fei and the others are also in contact with related companies in Japan and Germany. It is also possible to buy a production line back.”

"It's better like this." Jiang Jie said: "I think it's better to make two-handed preparations, and don't pin all your hopes on the United States."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Jiang Jie, you don't look like a returnee from the United States. Some returnees I have seen are full of admiration for the United States. Who dares to say that the United States is not a word? They want to see you with a bayonet. .”

Jiang Jie said: "Isn't it? Mr. Xiang and Mr. Hu of our group all came back from the United States? Why do I think they are more ruthless than anyone else when they plot against Americans?"

"They are different." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.He thought about it for a while, and it seems that there are quite a lot of returnees working in Hanhua. This may be determined by the cultural atmosphere of Hanhua.In Hanhua, everyone usually talks about how to strive for strength, such as Japan, Germany, and the United States, all exist as imaginary enemies.

"Don't worry about the equipment. The key is to advance the design of new products as soon as possible. Once the equipment is in place, you must come up with decent products." Lin Zhenhua ordered.

Miao Xiaoqiong said: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, everyone is very motivated. You can see that it is already night, but everyone is still working overtime in the computer room. Our design team has no concept of work and rest time at all. When you can’t stand it anymore, you go to sleep, and when you wake up, you come back to work.”

"It's better to pay attention to everyone's body, don't fight too hard." Lin Zhenhua said.

The three of them were having a lively chat when Bi Min, the director of the office, came to the door, and it was actually An Yan who came with her.

"Yanzi, why are you here?" Lin Zhenhua was very surprised. He looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was almost 10 o'clock in the evening. An Yan actually came to Xunyang at this time. Could it be that there is something urgent?

"I'm here to look for Xiao Hei." An Yan said straight to the point, "I just rushed over from Jinling and met Yang Xin at home, she said you came here, no, I'll ask Bi Min to bring me here gone."

"Xiao Hei?" Lin Zhenhua was even more puzzled, "Didn't he go to school in the capital? Why did he come to Xunyang?"

This year, Xiao Hei Lanxiang has already taken the college entrance examination.Although his grades were not very top-notch, due to his outstanding ability in the computer field, he was admitted to the computer department of Huaqing University under Chen Tian's recommendation.Last week An Yan personally sent him to the capital to report, and Lin Zhenhua knew about it.Why did An Yan come to Xunyang to look for Xiao Hei after a few days?

An Yan pretended to be angry and said: "I have to ask you as an uncle, didn't he come to you?"

"Me?" Lin Zhenhua shook his head, "No, he didn't come to me."

"Ahem, Boss Lin..." Jiang Jie said with embarrassment on his face.

Lin Zhenhua turned to look at Jiang Jie, and asked hesitantly, "What, Jiang Jie, is Xiao Hei here with you?"

Jiang Jie pointed in the direction of the computer room, and said, "He's in our computer room now...he won't let me tell you."
