Chapter 1714 The direction of efforts
There is no interest in each other, and no one has to please anyone.
But Wang Lin doesn't care. He doesn't have the burden of celebrity idols. If others don't like it, just take a look.
After visiting several companies, people were tired but didn’t get much.
Wang Lin felt that in front of Asians, Westerners had a sense of superiority in their bones, and they didn’t know where their sense of superiority came from?
Although Japan and South Korea also have a sense of superiority in front of Chinese people, they are still very polite when they learn about Wang Lin's true identity and value.
On the way back to the hotel, Han Qingning and Wang Lin said: "Mr. Wang, Canada's semiconductor industry does not seem to have any value to continue to investigate?"
Wang Lin said: "Stay more for a day! Let's go to a few more companies, look at other people's factories, and learn their management, which will be helpful to us. Even if it's just a glance! We can learn the basics, right?"
Han Qingning said: "Dr. Wang, I have a question as I go along the way. I don't know whether to ask or not?"
Wang Lin said: "What's the matter? But it's okay to say it."
Han Qingning said: "The semiconductor industry is huge. It would be great if one of our companies can do one of the products well. But these days, I found that we are interested in everything and have acquired so many semiconductor companies, but we are not sure which product we are going to make?"
Wang Lin smiled and said, "Then what kind of product do we make?"
Han Qingning said: "Memory chips can also be used only in DRAM."
Integrated circuits are divided into analog chips and digital chips, among which digital chips include logic chips, memory chips and microprocessors.
Memory chips, also known as semiconductor memory, are memory devices that use semiconductor circuits as storage medium and are used to store binary data. They are an important part of modern digital systems.
According to whether the stored information is retained after power outage, memory chips can be divided into volatile memory chips and nonvolatile memory chips.
ROM, read-only memory, also known as "nonvolatile memory", will not be lost when powered off data. Currently, FLASH flash memory is mainly used, and is divided into NAND Flash, NOR Flash and traditional ROM.
RAM, random memory, also known as "volatile memory", is subdivided into DRAM and SRAM. The data that powers off will be lost, and new RAM will not be lost.
DRAM and NAND Flash are still the largest proportion in the memory market in the world.
As we all know, the global storage chip market is monopolized by overseas companies, and Samsung, Hyundai, later SK Hynix, and Micron, three overseas giants, account for nearly 80%.
DRAM is widely used in mobile devices, servers, personal computers, consumer electronics and other fields, with huge market potential.
Not to mention the 1990s, even twenty years later, no enterprise in my country can compete with overseas manufacturers.
The pattern of DRAM process monopolized by oligopolies has made Chinese companies very low bargaining power over DRAM chips, and domestic substitution is imperative!
I have to say that Han Qingning has a good vision, and at least he can see the direction with the most development potential of this industry.
Wang Lin said: "Qingning, your idea is correct. Memory chips are exactly the direction we are working on."
Han Qingning's suggestion was affirmed by Wang Lin, and he was very happy and said, "Dr. Wang, then we will work in this direction, right?"
Wang Lin said: "Qingning, you said, what is the most important thing in producing DRAM?"
Han Qingning said: "Lithography technology."
Wang Lin said: "Yes, this is the core technology we need the most. If we don't have advanced lithography technology, then isn't it nonsense to talk about memory chips?"
At that time, Samsung, the world's cutting-edge DRAM process, had 4 to 5nm, and Hynix and Micron mass-produced 10nm;
In our country, the 19nm process has been successfully mass-produced, and the 17nm process is about to be launched. Some companies have the highest process technology for DRAM chip products at 25nm.
When others were mass-producing 5nm, we were still pushing around 20nm.
This is the gap.
This huge gap is destined to be unable to occupy the commercial market, let alone conquer the world through abroad.
Although Wang Lin does not understand the semiconductor industry, he roughly understands the future direction of this industry.
Since he decided to enter this industry, he must master the core technology from the source.
Our country is not short of markets!
In the global DRAM market, my country accounts for 40%!
Such a large market share is enough to support a company that is stronger than Samsung!
Wang Lin wants to make memory chips, but the premise is to have independent lithography technology and equipment.
This time Wang Lin's itinerary seemed to be out of order, but in fact he was looking for suitable lithography technology and equipment.
He talked with LG Group about acquisitions and acquisitions of companies in Toyo, which are all taking action around this central point.
Some of these companies have advanced lithography equipment and some have related patented technologies.
And talents in this area are even more urgently needed by Wang Lin.
Han Qingning said: "Dr. Wang, are you worried that they will not sell us advanced equipment and technology?"
Wang Lin said: "It's not that we are worried, but that we don't have hope at all! If we can find lithography equipment and technology in other regions, it's best! Otherwise, even if we go to negotiate with the Americans, we will be humiliating ourselves. Just like the neglected we have in Canada, when we arrived in the United States, those semiconductor giants would feel redundant even if we looked at us!"
Han Qingning said: "Not it? They are also businessmen. Don't you want to make more money?"
Wang Lin said: "There are many ways to make money. They have choices, but they may not necessarily choose us."
Han Qingning said: "Is my country's huge market not enough to attract them?"
Wang Lin said: "If they don't give equipment and technology, do we don't need semiconductor products? We also need to spend more money to buy theirs."
Han Qingning was silent.
After all, she is still young and has not been beaten by too many society. She thinks that the campus atmosphere she felt when she was studying abroad was the atmosphere between international regions.
Little do they know that the students in the ivory tower know the complexity of the international situation?
Like her, Wang Haiyang works directly in the company after graduation, among classmates, colleagues, no matter what kind of skin color, etc., even if there is occasional friction, it will not be a life-and-death battle. They do not know the cruelty and depth of the struggle.
Wang Lin doesn’t blame them, everyone will have such a stage.
After more experience, you will grow up.
Back at the hotel, Wang Lin went to visit Zhou Boqiang.
Only Zhou Zhuo was accompanying Zhou Boqiang in the room.
Wang Lin looked around and asked, "Where are their people?"
Zhou Zhu said: "Who? Oh, you said they were gone."
Wang Lin was stunned and said, "Have you left? Have you returned to Vancouver?"
Zhou Zhu said: "Yes. I just left shortly."
Wang Lin was speechless.
Zhou Zhou winked at him.
Wang Lin understood, greeted Zhou Boqiang a few words, and then spoke to Zhou Zhuo.
After coming to Wang Lin's room, Zhou Zhou said: "Don't mention it. When they came, they saw that the uncle was very good, and they didn't seem to have any serious illness. They were still very angry. They said that I deliberately exaggerated and said that the uncle was about to die! They tricked them! They were very busy with work, so they had a meal with the uncle and left."
Wang Lin was stunned for a while.
Zhou Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "You said, what's the use of raising such a child when he is successful?"
Wang Lin said: "Boss Zhou is probably heartbroken!"
Zhou Zhu said: "He! He only considers the children and says you are busy, so you don't have to accompany me. I also have to work here. After you have dinner, go back to Vancouver! I'll give you the air tickets for you."
When Wang Lin heard this, he felt sad that he wanted to cry but didn't cry.
Chapter completed!
