Chapter 409 IC Manufacturing

Chu Tiankuo is begging for Yang Xing's plane this time to get support from Nebula Electronics in the development of the next generation of military data link systems. Because with the abundant financial support in recent years, Nebula Electronics has now taken the lead in the domestic electronics industry after a series of acquisitions. In addition to those joint venture electronics companies, Chu Tiankuo is jealous of both the scale of the industry and the technical strength of the country.

Moreover, since the implementation of free transfer of patents and the preferential conditions for the entry of relevant small and medium-sized enterprises, several major industrial parks have attracted many powerful upstream and downstream domestic industrial parks to enter industrial parks in a short period of time. With excellent infrastructure and thoughtful services in the industrial park, especially support and guidance for micro-enterprises, several major manufacturing companies around Zhongxing Group have initially formed a relatively complete industrial cluster.

In particular, the introduction and construction of multiple wafer production lines made Nebula Electronics' semiconductor manufacturing foundation far ahead of major domestic electronic companies. As a military representative, Chu Tiankuo, their intelligence system is of course very jealous of popular electronic products such as MPP ⅲ player, Astrodisk storage, S1 smartphones, etc. that Yang Xing has launched in the United States some time ago. It has established a foothold in the fiercely competitive US market and has proved Nebula Electronics' technical strength from one aspect.

During his conversation, Chu Tiankuo also expressed his concern for Yang Xing's secretly launched CPU project, and his evaluation of the IC design and manufacturing capabilities of Nebula Electronics is very high. As we all know, the foundation of modern electronic devices is based on various integrated circuits (ICs). IC refers to the use of semiconductor manufacturing technology to make many transistors, resistors, capacitors and other components on a smaller single crystal silicon wafer, and the components are combined into a complete electronic circuit according to multi-layer wiring or wiring methods. It can be said that wafer production represents the cornerstone of semiconductors, and the IC process represents a country's overall microelectronic processing strength, just like the ability to build a building on a base. It is thousands of times more difficult to integrate tens of thousands of electronic components on an IC chip less than the size of a fingernail, which is thousands of times more difficult than the micro-carving technology of our ancestors. Human resources are already beyond the reach of the dust and can only be completed by relying on high-precision electronic devices.

At this time, the IC manufacturing process has entered the micron era, and the nano era will soon arrive, using tools that can only be seen with electron microscopes. Why did Taiwan become the main foundry manufacturer of the international semiconductor industry? It is because IC manufacturers such as TSMC, UMC, and SDA Electronics have been unremittingly upgrading their IC manufacturing processes. Yang Xing, who is determined to become an international electronics giant, naturally does not want to lag behind. Before building wafer factories and developing main control chips for products such as MPP players and Astrology, Nebula Electronics considered establishing a complete IC production chain, and recruiting talents for this purpose. IC manufacturing plants were set up in all five industrial parks. This is where Yang Xing launched nearly ten wafer production lines in one go, and he was not worried about overcapacity.

Since Yang Xing has touched the core field of IC research and development, Chu Tiankuo certainly does not want to miss this opportunity. Digitalization and informatization are the general trend of future military changes. For example, the various information network hardware in the domestic data link system cannot be used to control it in the hands of foreign manufacturers. This is related to national defense security, especially the core components cannot be produced in China in a short period of time, but in the long run, the military's attitude is clear that it must be domestically produced.

This is a lesson learned from blood and tears. During the Gulf War, the Americans exported a batch of printers to their opponent Iraq through special channels before the war started. Viruses were hidden in the printer's built-in chips. As soon as the war started, the Americans activated these viruses remotely, which resulted in strong interference from the Iraqi air defense network using this printer, making Iraq's air defense network useless throughout the battle and was beaten by the air forces of the multinational coalition forces so that they could not fight back. Historical knowledge tells us that we should never put our hopes of defending our country on outsiders.

Yang Xing did not agree with Chu Tiankuo's cooperation proposal immediately. Although he had already worked with the military many times and Zhongxing Group developed smoothly with the support of the military, these things cannot be brought to the table. Zhongxing Group has determined its development strategy for foreign development. This time in the United States, many investment plans of Zhongxing Group were under review by US foreign investment committee members. The main reason is that its competitors disclosed that Zhongxing Group helped the People's Liberation Army develop and manufacture equipment parts in many joint ventures established by China Star Group, which made the United States conservative party doubt the background of Zhongxing, which is very unfavorable to Zhongxing's development.

Yang Xing thought about it carefully for a while and replied: "This matter must be discussed for a long time. To be honest, I have some secret companies with the military in Jiudu and Shancheng, but I don't need to use a joint venture method. After all, as long as I carefully investigate, I will always find clues. I am still reserved about the confidentiality ability in China. I think the original method is still adopted. Our group's R&D work is now basically concentrated in Xingdou Research Institute. You can ask the military to choose a loyal and reliable scientific researcher to apply for Xingdou Research Institute as a personal identity. We deliberately open some areas to let you get information. In this way, even if it is exposed, we can use the excuse of our lack of prevention and commercial intelligence leakage to resist?"

Chu Tiankuo's eyes lit up. Yang Xing's method allows military technicians to scatter into Zhongxing's R&D department, which can not only steal the troops but also save a lot of research funds. It is indeed the best of both worlds. Yang Xing also guarantees their cooperation that as long as the technology is beneficial to the military, he will use normal or abnormal means to get it. The military will not ask about the source of the technology, and the corresponding military will continue to support Yang Xing's domestic career. In addition, the shared technology obtained by the military cannot apply for patents or hand it over to subordinate companies, thus threatening the product sales of Zhongxing Group.

As the negotiations between the two sides deepened, the coverage of the negotiations soon exceeded the data link communication system, and a military-civilian symbiotic interest body gradually took shape. Yang Xing referred to the structure of the American ** work system, and wanted to prepare for his company to open the profitable door of military procurement in the future. The private military and military equipment procurement will soon be a development direction for the future of military equipment procurement. In addition to the unreleased purchase of key weapons, the large amount of supporting equipment procurement required by domestic military and police will open the door to private enterprises in the future, and the pioneer Zhongxing Group will definitely seize many opportunities. Chu Tiankuo also won generous rewards for his subordinates to join Zhongxing Company, which is considered to be ready. Yang Xing obtained a group of high-quality and disciplined technical talents out of thin air, and the military can also use Zhongxing Group's technical and financial advantages to research and develop new things, and everyone will be happy to take what they take.

Yang Xing secretly was secretly happy to introduce high-quality scientific and technological talents from the military. The talent shortage that its own R&D institutions such as Xingdou Research Institute have been clamoring should be temporarily alleviated. As the group's career gradually grows and turns abroad, various companies have increasingly demanded for the group's R&D level. Although the headquarters has tried its best to recruit talents everywhere, the demand for talents and funds in the growth period is simply a black hole, and the supply is always in short supply. In terms of funds, some unconventional operations of Yang Xing, such as speculating on foreign exchange, futures indexes to obtain excess profits in a short period of time or looking for overseas investors, the problem of talent shortage has always given him a headache. After all, Zhongxing Group has developed too fast and many resources cannot keep up with the pace of development. Even if Yang Xing makes great efforts to build the city university into a talent base, it will not be effective in just one or two years. At this time, the military is willing to provide a group of scientific and technological personnel who will be able to work immediately. It is a timely rain.

The advantage of private planes is their efficiency. It took them more than two hours to fly from Shenzhen to Beijing. Yang Xing was still in a while and ran back to the luxurious villa he left for himself in the Beijing Rose Garden to have dinner with his family. Now he is busy with business and runs outside almost all day long. He has fewer opportunities to meet his family, so he cherishes reunion with his family. As the CEO of Xiyangyang Catering Group, He Guizhi personally cooked and helped Kong Siyu, a special chef, with the help of his son who had not seen for a long time. After the opening, Yang Rongguang and He Guizhi had already seen it, and without any hesitation, he also greeted the secretaries around Yang Xing who were not aware of the true or false.

Yang Xing's secretary class is now divided into two, and half of them went to the United States to work under Wang Yiren and others, while the other half assisted Wen Tian, ​​Tan Li and others in handling official business. This time he brought Shi Meiheng, Wen Tian, ​​Liao Qing, Kong Siyu and Yu Ge next to him. Yu Aojun was arranged to contact the military with Chu Tiankuo, and Tan Li was still busy in the southern star city of Shenzhen. He Guizhi had a good impression of the women who followed Yang Xing. She has been following Korean dramas for a while and her image is very similar to Korean dramas.

Wen Tian, ​​the celebrity Kim Hee-sun, likes her very much. When Liao Qing was a family nurse, she was always treated as a goddaughter, while Shi Meiheng was an old acquaintance. Now she has transformed into a captain of Yang Xing’s private plane. Even the new Kong Siyu is not simple. The taste of the mountain-city dishes made by Kong Siyu in his hometown made her praises. It’s not because she is a person who specializes in taking care of her son’s diet, she has long wanted to recruit Kong Siyu as a chef.

It was very lively for so many people to have dinner together. During the meal, Yang Xing talked about his experience of this trip to the United States. He went in a hurry and delayed for a long time. Except for Wen Tian Tanli and others, Liao Qing and others stayed at home, so they naturally listened with relish. Yang Xing specially pulled Shi Meiheng, who was wearing a light blue air uniform, boasted to his parents, saying that we are now a person with planes, and they will be out of date when going out in the future. They will fly directly to ensure that He Guizhi has more face in front of relatives and friends.
