"Well, next I will contact Motorola and try to buy it for about 10 billion. 12 or even 13 billion is too exaggerated."
Hearing Rebus's words, Lin Chen nodded slightly and said:
"Well, I leave this matter to you. Although there is little hope, try your best.
For every 100 million yuan saved, we can get 100 million more R&D funds. For every 100 million more R&D funds, we will be stronger in the future, so let’s do our best. "
"yes."
Rebus nodded slightly again to show his understanding.
Seeing this, other people at the scene also had different moods.
Some people feel that there is a lot of pressure, and some feel that Sugon Technology is a bit reckless and has a big burden that may make it bankrupt at any time.
But no matter what, they knew that since Lin Chen had made up his mind, he would just do his best to do it well.
So no matter what their mentality was, they decided to go all out.
At this time, Lin Chen turned around and looked at Li Qianqiang, the sales director in charge of Sugon mobile phone sales, and said:
"Has the overseas sales of Sugon Mobile Phones been completed?"
Rebus and Li Qianqiang are in charge of this matter. Lin Chen has focused all his energy on the Sugon R&D Center during this period. He is using his rich knowledge and the virtual laboratory of the King of Copycat system as the R&D center. Solve many puzzles.
Therefore, it is not clear to what extent the overseas sales of Sugon mobile phones have reached, and which country it plans to sell first.
"Currently, the licensing rights for Sugon mobile phones to be sold in overseas countries have been approved, and dealers have been found overseas. Our sales department is planning to officially sell the phones on March 25 after advertising in overseas markets."
"Is it like this?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly in approval.
This mobile phone is not something you can sell abroad if you want to sell it abroad. If you want to sell it abroad, you must obtain a sales license and corresponding documents from that country.
Therefore, although Sugon Technology released the Sugon F1 mobile phone and Sugon A1 puls mobile phone early, based on the progress of overseas offices, it is not too slow to take more than a month to obtain the sales license and corresponding certificates.
"Rebus, then I leave this matter to you. The overseas sales of Sugon mobile phones are related to whether we can be favored by banks, and then decide whether to lend us loans to purchase chip factories, so you have to go all out on this matter."
"Well, I understand."
Rebus nodded slightly and agreed.
Seeing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.
Now that it has been decided to take out a loan to purchase a chip factory, a decision must be made early on what process technology Sugon will use for its mobile phone chips.
First of all, according to the external market situation, the Texas Instruments mobile phone processor OMAP1710, which was officially released using the OMAP 1 architecture at the beginning of this year, uses the latest 90-nanometer process technology.
Among them, the OMAP1710 processor is an upgraded version of the OMAP710 mobile phone processor of the current Sugon F1 mobile phone and Sugon A1 puls.
If OMAP710 is just a first-generation product that has just been born, with weak performance and incomplete functions, then OMAP1710 is a product that is officially complete and has super performance.
Historically, Noah has been fond of using this processor, and there are dozens of mobile phone models using this processor.
For example, Noah 6630, 6680, 6681, E50, E60, E61, E62, E65, E70, N70, N71, N72, N73, N80, N90, N91 and N92, so this processor is really quite classic.
Among them, the OMAP1710 mobile phone processor uses a 90-nanometer process technology, which is actually quite advanced in the current era.
Because the current world's most advanced process technology capable of small-scale mass production is only 90 nanometers, and the official time for 90 nanometers to be conquered by the Wandao TSMC store was at the beginning of March this year.
As for the birth of the next generation 65nm process technology, it will have to wait until 2005.
Therefore, the 90-nanometer process technology adopted by this OMAP1710 processor is actually very advanced, and the 90-nanometer process technology will definitely become mainstream in the next one or two years.
But it is a pity that Sugon Technology has no way to obtain this 90-nanometer process technology, because as a 90-nanometer process technology that only officially announced a breakthrough and small-scale mass production this year, its production cost is too high.
Declaring a breakthrough and being able to produce small-scale products does not mean that they can be mass-produced. Small-scale mass production and large-scale mass production are different concepts.
Because small-scale mass production means ultra-high production costs, ultra-high production costs mean huge losses.
The reason for the loss is the yield rate problem. It is a joke to try to mass-produce before the yield rate problem is solved.
If we really wait for the 90nm process technology to solve the yield problem, according to common sense, there is no hope for half a year or even a year.
The same goes for the history of later generations. Although 90 nanometers achieved a breakthrough in 2003 and was able to be mass-produced on a small scale.
But in fact, in the second half of 2003, 90-nanometer processors were not mainstream because 90-nanometer processors were too expensive.
It will be 2004 and 2005 when the 90nm process technology will be truly mass-produced.
Therefore, using the 90-nanometer process technology to develop mobile phone chips is not a wise choice. First, even if 90-nanometer is designed, the production capacity cannot keep up with the needs of Sugon Technology.
Second, the production price is too expensive, which consumers cannot afford.
If Sugon Technology really wants to adopt the 90nm process technology, it is normal for the purchase price of a single chip to exceed 700 yuan.
Therefore, although the 90-nanometer process technology is very advanced, Sugon Technology cannot really afford it, is not suitable for use, and is not necessary to use it, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult to use it.
Although the wool comes from the sheep, Sugon Technology can transfer the price of expensive chips to consumers.
But consumers are not fools. How can they buy a mobile phone when it is so expensive?
In this case, Sugon Technology has only two options. The first is to use the previous generation's 130nm process technology to develop mobile phone chips, or to use the previous generation's very mature 180nm process technology to develop mobile phone chips.
"What is the manufacturing process of Motorola's chip factory in Tianjin?"
Lin Chen asked about Rebus.
In this regard, Rebus thought for a moment and then said:
"What they can currently mass-produce are 350 nanometers and 180 nanometers. Although they also have a 130-nanometer chip production line, they are unable to mass-produce them due to yield issues."
Hearing this, Lin Chen put his hand on his chin and fell into deep thought, and then quickly made a decision:
"In this case, we will use the 130-nanometer process technology to develop chips in the future."
Lin Chen finally expressed his decision.
Although there is a huge gap between 130 nanometers and 90 nanometers, Sugon mobile phone chip seems to be unable to defeat the 90 nanometer OMAP1710 with 130 nanometers, but how will you know if you don't try?
