Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 113: Turbulent waves on the water surface and undercurrents surging under the water

"Longxing Technology has attracted the attention of the West. Little sister, you should stay away from Chen Xing in the future, and the group's business dealings should be reduced as much as possible."

Peninsula Seoul.

In a luxurious manor villa, Lee Jae-yong, the chairman of Korean Star Group, looked at the sofa with a serious expression. Lee Zhenzhen, wearing white pajamas, said with a lazy expression.

Since the West put Korean Star Group and Loongson International on the restricted list, he has not rested for even a moment. He has been traveling to the United States and reached a consensus with Wall Street.

Although on the surface, Han Xing Group has also been restricted, in reality, they will not be affected at all. They will just have more than a dozen "engineers" to monitor them in vivo.

"understood."

Li Zhenzhen responded calmly.

She stared at the LCD TV, attracted by the plot of the TV series inside.

Faced with such a perfunctory attitude, Li Zaiyong could only sigh in his heart, with a doting look in his eyes.

no way.

Who is Li Zhenzhen his sister?

Moreover, Li Zhenzhen is not stupid. The cooperation with Longxing Technology Company is just a delaying strategy until the advent of his own Hanjiang baseband chip, thereby further getting rid of Western control.

At present, the Lee family only holds 2% of the shares of Korean Star Group, but through the multiple shareholding structure, they are still the actual controllers, but most of the revenue and profits go to Wall Street. No one wants to get away from Wall Street more than Lee Jae-yong Control, he has been working hard in this regard.

After Li Zaiyong returned to the room, Li Zhenzhen looked away from the TV and picked up his mobile phone to check the news.

"There are two more days..."

She murmured, weighing the pros and cons.

In fact, Li Zhenzhen is also waiting. If TSMC stops foundry manufacturing, UMC and GlobalFoundries will definitely not help foundry baseband chips, and only Korean Star Group and Loongson International will be left.

Loongson International has no international relations and is a truly restricted enterprise.

Korean Star Group has no influence, which means that it is the only company in the world that can OEM baseband chips.

Li Zhenzhen has been coveting Kaitian baseband chips for a long time, and Gaotong CEO Mollenkopf previously mentioned that DSP multi-core architecture is the key to the advent of 5G networks.

The 4G network has been reshuffled.

What about 5G networks?
In the era of the Internet of Everything, can Korean Star Group be freed from the control of Wall Street?
In order to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Li Zhenzhen not only will not stay away from Chen Xing, but she also wants to cooperate in depth. Business without risks is not business.

Once she helps the Korean Star Group get rid of Western control, she will definitely be ranked among the top three most influential women in the world.

……

the other side.

Dragon Kingdom Deep City.

Kunpeng Company's Bantian base headquarters.

Holding a document report, Ren Wanzhou stood in the boss's office and told Ren Guofei, who had tired eyes in front of him, his recent summary.

"Father, Rebus's rice phone has now taken root in the ancient Elephant Kingdom. Asans are all crazy about it, and Rebus doesn't seem to be satisfied with a single market. They are about to enter the Southeast Asian market. While the market value is soaring, I heard that we are also going to enter the home appliance industry.”

"The two bosses of Blue Green Factory invest in the entertainment industry. They have closely tied their mobile phones to celebrities. They recently invested in "Running Brothers". The popularity of variety shows has caused Blue Green Factory's mobile phone market sales share to increase rapidly. Already second only to Longxing Technology Company.”

"The Hammer Company is also making moves. Luo Hao seems to have actual shares in both Douyu and Huya live broadcast platforms, and has also raised 20 billion yuan. It seems that he will vigorously develop the mobile live broadcast industry."

"Longxing Technology..."

When Ren Wanzhou talked about Longxing Technology, he hesitated to speak.

Yao Nana's appearance flashed through Ren Guofei's mind, and he asked: "How is Longxing Technology?"

During this time, he was flying around the country, negotiating the construction of 4G base stations. The three major operators were also very smart and agreed to help Kunpeng Company sell mobile phones. He never understood the changes in the market.

After a pause for a few seconds, Ren Wanzhou took a deep breath and said: "Chen Xing's Longxing Technology is now trapped in a self-certification vortex."

"Self-certification?"

Ren Guofei was puzzled.

He looked at the recent valuation of Longxing Technology Company, which is already tens of billions. Who can make a billionaire CEO fall into self-certification?
Ren Wanzhou told a long story and briefly summarized the recent events, which gave Ren Guofei a splitting headache.

Domestic enterprises are restricted again...

The development of Longguo enterprises must go through three processes.

The first process is development.

The second process is sanctions.

The third process is decline.

What exactly does it mean?
To put it simply, when Longguo enterprises develop to a certain scale, they will definitely encounter patent walls established by foreign countries. This is also equivalent to a "safety line". If they dare to cross the past, they will 100% be subject to Western sanctions.

The decline of the third process. At present, there are basically no companies in Longguo that can complete overtaking in corners under sanctions. Even if there are, they can be counted on one hand.

"Longxing Technology is in a dead end."

Ren Guofei sighed.

With his connections in the Dragon Kingdom, he actually already knew some inside information.

He still knew who produced the Qingzhou chips.

Self-researched and produced?

Longxing Technology doesn't have this ability yet.

Once Longxing Technology cannot prove itself, it only needs to use the elimination method to simply eliminate it. Loongson International, the foundry behind the scenes, will surface and welcome the thunderous attack of the West.

"If Longxing Technology falls into a dead end and kills Loongson International, what will happen to our Kirin chips?"

As soon as Ren Wanzhou finished speaking, Ren Guofei's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he corrected his tone with warmth and anger: "Pay attention to your wording. Domestic companies have never harmed anyone. Even if Longxing Technology does not find Loongson International as an OEM, Loongson International will sooner or later They will also be sanctioned one day."

"I was wrong father."

Ren Wanzhou's expression changed suddenly. While apologizing quickly, he immediately changed his rhetoric and asked, "Then do we want to help Chen Xing now?"

If Loongson International collapses, not only Qingzhou chips will be unable to be produced, but Kunpeng Company's Kirin chip research and development will also be affected.

Currently, the only chip foundry in Longguo is Loongson International, which is the OEM for Kirin chip trial production.

This is busy...

I really had to help.

“What’s going on with our silicon companies?”

Ren Guofei asked.

In fact, Kunpeng Company has always had a plan, but it has not been put on the table.

"Ugh!"

Ren Wanzhou sighed and replied: "The silica purification process has reached a bottleneck. It is still unable to achieve the purity of 11N. We have been secretly cultivating corresponding talents."

"Is the progress so slow?"

Ren Guofei frowned. He had already laid out the semiconductor silicon industry two years ago. Now he is still stuck in the 11N purification process. When will we see 12-inch domestic silicon wafers?Faced with the question, Ren Wanzhou responded neither humble nor overbearing: "11N is 99.9999999% pure. At present, we have achieved 9N purification. If we do not pursue the highest quality, it is estimated that we will soon complete the breakthrough of 12-inch domestic silicon wafers."

Ren Guofei: “We need to speed up the progress.”

"I see."

As soon as Ren Wanzhou finished speaking, he added: "Photoresist and corresponding reagents, father, do you think you would like..."

Semiconductor silicon wafers, photoresist, etching fluid, cleaning fluid, developer, etc. are all necessary raw materials for chip production.

There is no way to solve the problem of photolithography machines, and Ren Guofei has always been willing to solve the problem of raw materials.

Ren Guofei's face flashed with embarrassment, and he sighed: "The photoresist formula is extremely complicated. Even if we have the formula, we can't import the corresponding equipment. I won't consider it for the time being. I hope that guy Gao Yongming has stocked up."

Compared with semiconductor silicon wafers, photoresist manufacturing is more difficult.

In the entire chip production process, 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers can be replaced by lower-size ones, but photoresist cannot be replaced.

Why is trial production tape-out expensive?

Because every time the tape is taped out, photoresist must be applied once.

Every time photoresist is applied, corresponding reagents must be used, and an additional metal film link must be added.

If you mass-produce chips, you can produce hundreds of them by applying photoresist once, and you can produce chip masks for tape-out. The smaller the nanometer value, the more times you apply it. For 14 nanometers, you need to tape-out fifty times. It is equivalent to applying photoresist fifty times, and the other steps are also fifty times. This is the monopoly of raw materials.

High tape-out costs are also a factor limiting the development of Longguo chip companies.

Once the photoresist technology is broken, the price will also drop, the cost of trial and error will drop, and the threshold of the chip industry will also lower. Therefore, the photoresist production equipment and the solution formulas of various supporting reagents are highly confidential.

After rejecting "photoresist", Ren Guofei looked at Ren Wanzhou and said, "Go and make an appointment with Chen Xing for me. I have something important to discuss with him. Longxing Technology cannot fall easily."

"understood."

Ren Wanzhou nodded.

Now that the gun has taken the lead, if Longxing Technology Company falls, there is no doubt that Kunpeng Company will be next.

In the past, the West was targeting Kunpeng Company. During this period, Longxing Technology Company was so aggressive that the gangsters shifted their focus.

This is like playing the game of eagle and chicken. Now Longxing Technology Company is the hen. If it falls, Kunpeng Company will not be immune. To a certain extent, Longguo Enterprise is a community of interests.

……

Imperial City, Rice Company.

Rebus did not sit still and booked a flight to Shen City.

Although Chen Xing robbed him of the sinking market, Longxing Technology cannot yet fall. Longguo mobile phone technology company must promote a "talker".

Promoting "talker" companies does not mean to convince them, but to allow them to receive the most severe beatings from the West, so that other companies can secretly develop.

Nowadays, Longxing Technology Company is the most cutting-edge company, and its patented technology is excellent, making it the best choice for "talkers".

The CEOs of Iron Hammer, Blue Green Factory, Lian Xiang and other companies all agreed and wanted to talk to Chen Xing about the future development of the company.

It has become a collective consensus that Longxing Technology cannot fail.

At the same time, the news that Chen Xing mortgaged Bantian wasteland and obtained a loan of 15 billion also reached the ears of venture capital institutions.

They are like hungry wolves, waiting for the right time to enter the market.

The surface of the water is turbulent and the undercurrent is surging below. Today's Long private enterprises, whether they are mobile phone technology companies or not, are silently watching the results of this self-certification.

……

It was early in the morning and the bright moon was shining brightly.

Entering the winter night in the deep city, the temperature is only 7 degrees, and a cold wind blows from time to time, making people shiver.

In the Tengfei Industrial Park, only a few factories still have lights on. Because of its remote location and proximity to the crematorium, not many companies have settled here.

One of the factories with lights on is Longxing Silicon Industry.

Compared with the deserted conditions during the day, the Longxing Silicon Factory is lively at night, with hundreds of employees.

The refresh amount of the talent market will be reset at zero o'clock every day. Chen Xing once again raised the refresh fee to 2000 million. If he refreshed it again, it would be 4000 million. He did not continue. It was completely unnecessary to be so expensive.

There are 104 talents in the silicon field, 86 with blue quality, 14 with purple quality, and 4 with gold quality.

The four golden quality talents are in the fields of silica purification technology, doping technology, wire cutting technology, and large-size silicon rod production technology. There are also many subdivisions where golden talents are not in charge, but this does not prevent the factory from starting because the first step The silica purification talents have been recruited by Chen Xing.

Chen Xing did not leave the silica factory, but quietly watched their work and received the talents who had not yet come to report.

If you want to produce semiconductor silicon wafers, the first step is to extract silicon ingots.

Many people have misunderstandings about how to refine silicon ingots, thinking that it is done by sand. In fact, this statement is not accurate.

River sand from private construction sites is generally not used to refine silicon ingots because of its low silica content. If you want to purify silica with high efficiency, silica with higher silica content is the best choice.

The first silica purification requires the use of a graphite submersible furnace, which is also called an electric arc furnace. There are two graphite electrodes in the middle for heating. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. Its melting point is as high as 3800 degrees Celsius, but its expansion coefficient is very small. This is Making graphite submersible arc furnace the most ideal smelting equipment.

Add silica, coal, and wood chips into the graphite submersible furnace. When the temperature rises to 2000 degrees Celsius, the silica will gradually melt and form a reduction reaction with the carbon element.

The main reaction is that silicon dioxide and carbon form elemental silicon and carbon monoxide at high temperatures.

The first reaction is that silicon carbide, which is the third generation semiconductor, is formed at a low temperature in the furnace, about 1400 degrees.

After condensation, the silicon elemental liquid in the main reaction will form a relatively pure industrial-grade silicon ingot with a purity of 98% to 99%, which requires multiple purifications.

The night passed.

Industrial grade silicon ingots are being released one after another.

Chen Xing did not leave. He looked at the black silicon ingots and looked at Wei Hua, a golden purification technician beside him, and said: "How many steps are needed to purify industrial silicon ingots?"

He wanted to know the exact date, but the West would not give him too long to "self-certify".

"Currently we are purifying silica and have just obtained 98% pure silicon ingots. The next step is to use hydrogen chloride gas for secondary purification to obtain 11N polysilicon. The polysilicon can be purified again to obtain monocrystalline silicon."

Wei Hua thought for a moment and roughly estimated the time: "If everything goes well, 11N polysilicon will be available in ten days."

"so long?"

Chen Xing was stunned for half a second.

He saw that 98% of industrial silicon ingots were refined in seven or eight hours, and thought that the same would be true for 11N-purity polysilicon.

Wei Hua smiled and explained patiently: "Polysilicon with a purity of 99.9999999% takes time to grow. Well, in the crystal growth furnace, it grows just like growing vegetables, so it will take longer."

"I see."

Chen Xing also understood.

The purification of industrial smelting cannot be completed in a few days, especially the steps involving crystal "growth".

Since it would take such a long time, he did not continue to stay at the Longxing Silicon Factory, but returned home to rest.

He had been recruiting all day yesterday and all night at night, and his eyelids had already started to fight.
