Of course, Yang Xing and the others knew about Zhang Rujing's concerns, but since such a talent appeared in front of him, Yang Xing absolutely did not let it go. He had already revealed his identity at this time. Although Zhang Rujing was a technical background, he was responsible for managing wafer factories in recent years and was also familiar with the economic figures in Asia who are now in the limelight. Yang Xing was naturally familiar with the most dazzling new star among the young rich people of the same age group in the past two years.

Although Yang Xing's style has always been low-key, even the employees of his company have not seen him with their own eyes. He generally does not accept interviews from financial magazines. Even the Asian Wall Street magazine, the leader of Asian financial journals, did not succeed in making an interview for him. He had to post a blurred photo of him attending the welcome party when Cheng Canghai came to Hong Kong in last year's Christmas issue. He also used many speculative news to make his introduction. His name can be described as mysterious in the Asian financial circle.

So Zhang Rujing looked at the young and overly rich man, and had no intention of despising him at all. After all, in the mainland's business environment, he could defeat the current foundation with bare hands. No matter what, he could not use the word "luck" to explain it. "Mr. Yang is also interested in wafer factories? It's not that I boasted that there are too many failures in this industry. Semiconductors are also called "semi-inverted", which means that investments of hundreds of millions of dollars often cannot be supported and collapsed halfway. For example, Singapore's Chartered Semiconductor has been losing money for many years. It's not that the Li family has a rich family and has collapsed long ago."

His words not only pointed out his position in the industry, but also tactfully reminded Yang Xing that this industry is very deep. If there is no sufficient financial foundation, don’t wading rashly. Of course, Yang Xing will not be intimidated. He knew that the earthquake in Taiwan next year will greatly shock the foundation of Taiwan’s electronics industry. In order to grab orders from Taiwanese companies and be able to produce their own computer chips, memory, solar cells and other products based on silicon wafers, it is imperative to launch his own wafer factory!

He was not worried about the funds. Although he was working with Hitachi and was acquiring Shanyi Securities, the domestic wafer fabs had failed several times and the urgency to build China's own wafer fabs was unimaginable to outsiders. Moreover, the US$1.1 billion he invested to the military and intelligence departments had been earned back with principal and interest. With the excess profit, I believe that he proposed to help build a wafer fab that reaches international level in China, and this amount of money would be enough for him to use it first.

He said to Zhang Rujing as if nothing had happened: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry about money. My investment this time is so much." He stretched out his index finger, "100 million". Zhang Rujing was a little nervous. Yang Xing smiled and shook his head, "Is it enough for one billion US dollars?" Zhang Rujing felt like a brain anemia and was dizzy. But Yang Xing was even more shocked when he said the following words, "I want to make a list of people, equipment, and technology when it is not good, and I will solve it as soon as possible. If it really doesn't work, I will directly acquire a complete wafer factory. By the way, my plan is not a wafer factory, but to build two. One is in Hong Kong and the other is in China!"

Zhang Rujing felt that the steam from the hot spring was almost smoky, so he looked at Wu Haijun nervously, trying to confirm that he had not been in the hot spring for too long and had heard it wrong. After receiving a positive answer, he was excited and stood up to express his gratitude. Unexpectedly, he was over 50 years old and was excited and soaked for too long. He fainted and tilted his body and fell into the water. Yang Xing and Wu Haijun hurriedly pulled him up, and Guo Ying quickly called the hot spring staff in Japanese to come for first aid: "Come on, someone fainted after taking a hot spring!"

Although this embarrassing incident happened, everyone was happy. After receiving Yang Xing's full support from his reply, Zhang Rujing could not wait for a moment. However, major events such as building a new wafer factory in China must be approved by the State Planning Commission, discussed and discussed by the State Council, and it is not possible to do it alone with money. Moreover, in this subtle situation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Zhang Rujing's actions will definitely attract the ideas of the Taiwan intelligence department. Before the incident was not clear, Yang Xing still didn't want to alarm the situation, so he asked Wu Haijun and Chen Changzheng to accompany Zhang Rujing back to China. Although I was sorry for Wu Haijun's honeymoon, for such a national event, the couple expressed their understanding and decided to book a plane ticket immediately to return home.

Yang Xing did not return to China together. After all, his goal is too great now. I believe that intelligence personnel from major Japanese companies and governments will pay attention to him. He suddenly changed his itinerary and ran back to China, causing any unnecessary movements. It would be troublesome if he was not as active as a quiet person. After he met Zhang Rujing at Ikangburg Hot Spring, he arrived in Tokyo as if nothing had happened.

The nearly one-month leisure vacation in Tokyo Yang Xing was over and officially started working. Considering that the group had acquired Yakan and was planning to play Yamaichi Securities, as well as considering various factors such as establishing research institutions in Tsukuba Science City, Zhongxing International and its subsidiaries have set up branches in Tokyo. Yang Xing, the big boss, came, and the new employees who had just recruited soldiers from various institutions should be more impressed by him.

Fang Dongmei, who was surrounded by him, was very fluent in Japanese and Korean, and Guo Ying and Wen Tian were also good at Japanese, so he did not invite a temporary translator. What was more unexpected was that among Tan Meichang and the others who arrived in Tokyo in advance, Ding Mali and Tan Meichang could have simple Japanese conversations. Even Yu Aojun and Ouyang Qian who followed him were fine to read the Japanese logo. Yang Xing, who had learned Japanese for a short time and now only remembered the words "Ya Wu Dad, Yo Xi" and other words, was ashamed.

With these Japanese-savvy beauties by your side, Yang Xing had no obstacles to visiting Tsukuba Science City in Tokyo, and left a deep impression on this small town called the Silicon Valley in Asia. Tsukuba Science City is located at the foot of Tsukuba Mountain 60 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, only 40 kilometers from Tokyo Narita Airport. It is a small town with a beautiful environment and a strong scientific research atmosphere.

Unlike the spontaneous formation of Silicon Valley in the United States, it was completely built by the Japanese government. Every year, the Japanese government will prepare a special budget of up to 2 trillion yen for it, and pass legislation to provide a variety of preferential policies and measures for real estate leasing, equipment depreciation, taxation, credit, and foreign investment introduction of high-tech enterprises. This has concentrated nearly 40% of Japan's scientific research institutions, and one in every 10 urban residents is a scientist.

In fact, the model of large-scale high-tech industrial parks that are emerging in China has more or less shadows of Tsukuba Science City. Yang Xing wants to acquire Japanese high-tech technology and talents in the financial storm, so it is natural to choose this place as the location of the first overseas research institution. However, although the scenery here is pleasant, the pace of life is slow and the popularity is not strong. Although there are many buildings with strange shapes, it still feels unaccustomed to young girls such as the Kuang sisters and Ding Mali who are accustomed to lively life.

But Yang Xing still has important things to do here, so Zhou Yanhong, who happened to meet them, was going to attend the promotional event of "007: The Empire of Tomorrow" in Tokyo. Of course, those little girls who like the excitement would not miss this opportunity. Yang Xing asked Guo Ying to take Guo Yueyue to visit Tokyo Disneyland first, leaving only Wang Yiren, Wen Tian, ​​Yu Aojun and other assistants to accompany him.

Yang Xing stayed in Tsukubo, in addition to inspecting the preparations for the new company, another important reason was that after he met Zhang Rujing, everyone decided to speed up the purchase of wafer factory equipment. When Yang Xing took Wu Haijun to his subordinates, he promised that once the time was right, he would definitely start building a chip factory and make mobile phone chips, computer chips, industrial equipment CNC chips, etc. with independent technology.

As the former station of a chip factory, the establishment of a wafer factory is very close to this goal, so Yang Xing naturally will not miss the opportunity.

Therefore, after negotiating with Zhang Rujing to invite him to join Nebula Electronics, he immediately appointed him as the CEO of the newly established Xingmang Microelectronics, and with Nebula Electronics COO Chi Chongrui, he led elite troops back to Japan to join him, and targeted the goal of establishing a wafer factory in a Japanese company called Epida Memory and IBM Japan branch. Epida Memory is preparing to eliminate its 8-inch wafer production line, while IBM Japan branch is preparing to close a wafer factory in Japan, which has a slightly outdated 6-inch wafer production line.

According to its size, wafers can be divided into 4, 6, 8, 12 sizes, and upgraded every ten years. But from the domestic level, Yang Xing’s understanding of Jiudu monocrystalline silicon factory can only reach 4 inches, which is a technical gap of 20 to 30 years from abroad. Fabs are known as the most complex equipment in modern industry, with the highest precision in production, and many links must be completed in a dust-free or even vacuum environment. As a raw material for large-scale integrated circuits, its technology is only in the hands of a few countries such as the United States, Japan and Germany.

Wafers can improve productivity through two aspects: one is to increase the area, and the 12-inch wafer that is about to be launched on a large scale will increase the production capacity by more than twice as much as the 8-inch wafer. The second is to increase the etching size on the wafer. Before Yang Xing was reborn, this process technology had been improved to the nano level. Yang Xing did not expect to build Rome City in one day. It is the key to be able to use Japanese second-hand equipment to build the wafer factory first. As for the technical gap, such as the 12-inch wafer at the highest level, the current domestic equipment and talent technology is still far behind. Only by mastering the technologies of 6-inch and 8-inch wafers first and then working in this direction is the right way.

Epida Memory wafer factory originally provided industrial chips for manufacturers such as Hitachi and Toshiba, but the world's semiconductor industry is highly competitive. Epida Memory wafer factory is probably only third-rate in Japan, and its products are relatively single. Hitachi recently considered building a joint venture wafer factory in China, while Toshiba is building its own wafer production line. Epida Memory wafer factory has insufficient orders and is suffering serious losses. Its founder was a professor at Tsukuba University, and the company's headquarters is in Tsukuba. Yang Xing's main purpose of this trip is to negotiate with him to acquire wafer production lines.

As for IBM's wafer factory, it was because IBM was preparing to upgrade the 12-inch production line and decided to eliminate production capacity below the 8-inch wafer production line overseas. Yang Xing chose a slightly behind 6-inch wafer production line in addition to the cheap price, but also another consideration.

In his previous life, SMIC, founded by Zhang Rujing, was overwhelmed by TSMC's patent legal lawsuit. One of the important things is that SMIC may have adopted TSMC's so-called patent process technology when it was founded. Zhang Zhongmou used this patent to kill many domestic semiconductor companies. Of course, the wafer industry is not the only one in TSMC. IBM's process technology is relatively open. Yang Xing did not want to repeat the same mistake. From the beginning, he wanted to master process technology by acquiring IBM's wafer factory, and was not afraid of TSMC's suppression in the future.
