Zhang Jing completely didn't believe what he was experiencing now.
Yanjiang Semiconductor Company was established less than half a year ago, and the number of orders it received was actually 130,000.
This kind of order number has never been seen by Xia Xin International in the past many years.
This is the charm of cooperation with Changtian Technology.
Zhang Jing believes that if Changtian Technology hadn’t designed Pangu’s domestic chip, if it hadn’t been for Chen Xiao’s improvement of the domestic chip.
Pangu chips will never have such high performance.
Businessmen are all driven by profit. Zhang Jing believes that if consumers did not want to buy, even if Shenchuan was a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, it would never be possible to order so many chips.
You bought the chips but couldn't sell them and put them there just to increase sales and reputation? It’s not the box office of a Spring Festival movie!
Shenchuan and Changtian Technology will never do this kind of thing.
Zhang Jing asked cautiously: "We will try our best to satisfy the orders from Shenchuan, but Mr. Chen, what are your orders here for?"
Zhang Jing is indeed curious.
Shenzhou purchased the chips to configure the Jiaolong series of computers.
Changtian Technology does not sell computers, nor does it sell chips alone, so how could it suddenly have an order for 100,000 pieces?
Zhang Jing: “If it’s not particularly urgent, can this batch of orders be delayed?”
Chen Xiao said to Zhang Jing: "These are all orders from the state. There is no way to delay them, and they must all be delivered within three months!"
Zhang Jing was shocked. He did not expect that all these orders came from the state.
Zhang Jing has been working hard in the chip industry for so many years. Even if Chen Xiao didn't tell him, he knew exactly what the country would use the batch of chips ordered for.
It will definitely be used in fields such as military high-end scientific research that are relatively sensitive and highly secure.
Pangu Chip This is a flower with two flowers, one on each side.
At the same time, it has won the favor of the country and ordinary consumers.
This kind of treatment has never been experienced by either Intel or Loongson, which is researched by Xia National Academy of Sciences.
Chen Xiao asked: "What is your maximum production capacity?"
The matter has reached such an urgent stage, Zhang Jing will no longer hide it.
At present, Xiaxin International provides 30% of its production capacity to Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, and the remaining 70% of its production capacity is still produced at Xiaxin International for chip products with not too high technical content.
Now Yanjiang Semiconductor Company has suddenly increased the number of orders.
Zhang Jing's only way is to invest all the production capacity of Xiaxin International into Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
Zhang Jing calculated in his mind for a while and said: "If I invest all the production capacity of Xia Xin International into Magma Semiconductor Company, based on the current technology and yield, and assuming that the machine does not stop working, I can probably produce three products a month. Ten thousand chips can produce approximately 90,000 chips in three months.”
Yanjiang Semiconductor Company has just been established, and no one knew there would be so many orders.
Therefore, the lack of cost is understandable.
Including Chen Xiao himself, it is estimated that the total number of orders for Pangu chips after the release is 50,000.
After all, the current significance of Pangu Chip is not to allow all users in Xia State to use domestic chips.
The purpose of its existence is to let overseas semiconductor companies, especially those chip companies, know that Xia Guo is also capable of producing its own chips, so as to increase Xia Guo Technology Company's external negotiation costs.
Who would have known that the number of orders doubled to 130,000 pieces.
Chen Xiao believes that production capacity constraints are definitely not limited by photolithography machines.
Because Xia Xin International's 130-nanometer photolithography machine can process 200 wafers per hour, and the photolithography machine is fully capable of working at full capacity 24 hours a day without interruption.
Even a photolithography machine only works 20 hours a day and shuts down for 4 hours to rest.
Then it can process 4,000 wafers a day and 120,000 wafers a month.
Therefore, in terms of the production capacity of the lithography machine, it can fully meet the order of 130,000 pieces.
What's more, Xia Xin International currently has more than one 130-nanometer technology lithography machine.
The basic process of chip production is roughly as follows: point 1 silicon wafer preparation; point 2 epitaxial process; point 3 thermal oxidation; point 4 diffusion doping; point 5 ion implantation; point 6 thin film preparation; point 7 Photolithography; 8th point etching; 9th point process integration (packaging).
So from this point of view, the output of Xia Xin International's production line is limited, probably because the entire process is not integrated.
There is a problem with the coordination of the entire production line.
Chen Xiao felt that it was necessary to go to Shanghai in person to optimize the production process of Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
Chen Xiao said to Zhang Jing: "I will go to Shanghai tomorrow, and we will go to Yanjiang Semiconductor Company and your Xiaxin International to take a look at the production lines."
Zhang Jing also believes that maybe Chen Xiao really has a way to improve the entire production line.
Chen Xiao called Song Yi and asked Song Yi to book the earliest flight to Shanghai.
Chen Xiao stayed up all night again tonight.
He used his knowledge base to set up relevant integration plans for the entire production line.
For example, which areas can be optimized and which areas can be omitted to save time in discussing with Zhang Jing tomorrow.
At the same time, in Silicon Valley, California, USA.
The Shenship team is now in the fifth round of negotiations with Intel.
In the first four negotiations, the focus of debate between the two parties was the supply speed, price and quantity of chips.
Intel insists on its own conditions for various reasons.
That is to say, the chip supply speed is 30% slower than other PC companies (priority to satisfy other customers), and the quantity is also limited. Intel will give Shenchuan an annual chip quota.
If Shenship wants to cancel the chip quota and can take as much as it wants, that doesn't matter, Intel can also satisfy it.
But the price of the divine ship must be increased.
The markup is 30%~50% of the original price.
Once such conditions come out, it is absolutely impossible for the Shenship side to accept them.
Ma Guotao, the vice president of Shenchuan, when he returned to the hotel last night, he slammed the table angrily and said:
"The chip is the brain of the entire computer, and it is also the most expensive piece."
"Now they not only limit the supply speed, but also increase the price. In this way, our costs will increase a lot."
"Our computers are already known for their cost-effectiveness, but if the price increases again, we will have no profit at all!"
Ma Guotao said angrily: "No matter how cost-effective Shenchuan is, it is impossible to be a porter of hardware and spend money to buy the hardware, assemble it together, and sell it at a loss!"
The atmosphere in the team was very depressing.
The Intel sales department seems to have met with Ma Guotao's team just to give SoftBank face.
Otherwise, you won't meet Ma Guotao at all, and directly set out the conditions, whether you like it or not.
This is a monopoly business, and this is the right to speak of the powerful.
