Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Chapter 59
Shanghai, Shanghai Silicon Industry Group Headquarters Building.

In a medium-sized conference room, a special secret meeting was being held.

A number of domestic semiconductor-grade silicon wafer R&D companies and technical teams were quietly invited by Shanghai Silicon Industry Group to discuss a topic:
Regarding how to respond to the national call, actively promote the research and development and manufacturing process of domestic silicon wafers, connect the communication channels of the silicon wafer industry chain, and avoid the waste of resources caused by ineffective competition.

To put it bluntly, during this period, everyone has used their ultimate skills according to their abilities, and they have also received the money they deserve.

Now it’s time to sit down and discuss how to divide the remaining money.

The meeting was chaired by Liu Xingdong, chairman of Silicon Information Technology, a subsidiary of Shanghai Silicon Industry Group.

After a morning of consultations, these big guys, who account for more than 90% of the domestic silicon wafer R&D and manufacturing field, finally reached a preliminary consensus and agreed to join forces, coordinate resources, and strive to conquer 12-inch silicon wafer manufacturing within a year. Reduce the remaining 20 billion yuan in subsidies!
Although there is an initial consensus, there are still many details that need to be negotiated for actual implementation.
For example, the most important issue is how to cut the cake.
It’s based on their current strength.

Or should they be divided based on their respective results in subsequent research and development?
Once small companies and teams join this alliance, they will be able to directly obtain a large amount of shared technologies.
This was already a great thing, but they had no say in cutting the cake.

Even considering that once the technology alliance conquers the 12-inch silicon wafer, everyone will have the technology to manufacture it.
So not only the support fund of more than 20 billion, but also how to divide the future market?
This is the top priority!
After a long tug-of-war, the meeting finally reached an agreement after everyone made compromises and concessions.

On the same day, Shanghai Silicon Industry Group officially announced this blockbuster news to the media.

The news immediately caused a certain degree of heated discussion among all walks of life.
For the general public, there is not much to say other than saying, “Holy shit, domestic silicon wafers are promising.

After all, this thing is not very relevant to life, and most people don’t understand it.

For the semiconductor field, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

With so many big names taking the lead in joining forces, the possibility of winning silicon wafer manufacturing in a short period of time is obviously much higher.

In response, SMIC, Huahong, Unisplendour and other industry companies have sent congratulatory messages and best wishes.

When it comes to who in China is most afraid of cutting off the supply of silicon chips, these fabs must be the first to bear the brunt.

Silicon wafers are their raw material and their lifeblood.

Without silicon wafers, no matter how powerful the photolithography machine is, it will have to stop working.
So they hope that these silicon wafer companies will join forces to engage in research and development and help them remove the knife from their necks...

As for the higher-ups, the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology had mixed feelings after hearing the news.
First of all, things must be good things;
But if they do this, won’t the special subsidies set up by the Ministry of Science and Technology directly become theirs?
Originally, I wanted to set up bonuses to stimulate everyone’s passion for research and development.

Now that they're all united, will the passion fade?Or even passive at work?

This is uncertain.

In addition, something that made Chief Lu a little unhappy was that he did not see Dahan Silicon's name on the joint list.

Obviously, this company that Academician Wu highly praised to him was excluded.

But he couldn't say anything about it.
Even if Academician Wu is optimistic about Kang Chi, Dahan Silicon Industry is just a start-up company, and there are currently no tangible results. It is reasonable that Shencheng Silicon Industry did not invite them.

As for Kang Chi, because he was immersed in coordinating the work of various groups in Steel City, he didn't pay attention to this breaking news at all. In the end, Academician Wu finally found out about it after he called.

"You don't have to be discouraged. With your current size, even if you participate, you won't actually get much benefit." Wu Lihong comforted him kindly, "As long as we follow the ideas of your paper and immerse ourselves in verification, I believe it will be possible. achieve certain results.”

"Well, I understand. Don't worry, teacher, I don't mind this kind of thing at all."

As a result, Kang Chi's too relaxed answer made Academician Wu think that he was reassuring him in turn. In fact, he felt a little sad... After all, in Wu Lihong's view, Kang Chi had always been closed in his own world. How could he be better now? It is easy to open up for some reasons and be willing to go out and do research.

As a result, I was squeezed out by my peers right from the beginning...

Can his mind bear such a big blow?
Will it be closed again because of this?

So Wu Lihong gave another kind words of comfort, which made Kang Chi dumbfounded.

However, Academician Wu’s previous analysis is absolutely correct.

Given the current situation of Dahan Silicon Industry, even if he received the invitation, Kang Chi would definitely not bother to pay attention.
If you go there, won't you be squeezed and make yourself miserable?
Even if I have a brain convulsion, I won’t go!

However, their alliance still put some pressure on Kang Chi.
After all, silicon wafer manufacturing has always been stuck. That's because there were too many directions that needed support before, and they couldn't take care of the silicon wafer side.

Now they have realized the importance of silicon wafers and have increased their support.
Maybe one day, this technology alliance will really make a breakthrough in technology...

Although subsidies are the best thing to have, it won't hurt your muscles and bones if you don't have them.

But the duck with its mouth flew away,
How irritating that is!

Thinking of this, Kang Chi couldn't help but go around the construction site again, and then asked the project manager: "Can the progress be faster?"

"Quick? A steel structure factory building of more than 3000 square meters and 16 meters high, with some four floors, can be delivered in 40 days. It is already very fast! It usually takes at least 70 days, unless you change to a simple shed, which can only be delivered in half a month. It can be done.”

"...Well, let's forget about the simple shed."

The original plan was to build a more atmospheric factory building, but in order to save time, it was changed to a steel structure. This was the limit that Kangchi could accept.

As for replacing a simple shed with air leakage from all sides?

Even if the employees have no objections, he himself can’t stand it!
After all, they are considered a high-tech enterprise, and they are also known as a billion-dollar investment project.

We still need to have basic noodles, right?
We also have to do technical confidentiality work, right?
"How about you guys take a day off during the Chinese New Year? I can afford three times the salary!"

"Uh,"

When the project manager heard that the salary was tripled, he couldn't help but be a little wary, but to be on the safe side, he still added: "I have to ask the workers for their opinions."

The result can be imagined,

When they heard that they would get three times the salary for overtime work, these lovely and hard-working workers basically all agreed.

After all, they still had one day off, which was basically enough for them to go back and have a reunion dinner.

Kang Chi is also quite satisfied with this.

Fortunately, I made a wise decision and hired a local construction company, and the workers were all locals.
Otherwise, no matter how anxious Kang Chi is, he will probably be helpless.
