Facing the question from the reporter from Dahan Daily, Lin Chen waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Chip is a very broad adjective. It is not just a processor, but also graphics chips, memory chips, flash memory chips, communication chips, DPS chips and other chips.
Although our country has solved the scarcity problem of mobile phone processors and graphics chips, in fact, there is a shortage of cores and screens in all walks of life in our country.
Machine tools need chips, elevators need chips, computers need chips, mobile phones need chips, printers need chips, TVs need chips, washing machines need chips, water heaters need chips...
There are many things that require chips around the world. We at Sugon Technology believe that there will be huge demand for chips nationwide and even globally, and we are currently on the eve of an explosion of demand.
So although we launched three 8-inch wafer fabs and supporting chip production lines at once, they are actually far from meeting future market demand. "
After hearing Lin Chen's words, although the reporter from the Cold Country Dahan Daily believed that the global demand for chips would be great in the future just like Lin Chen, he still asked relentlessly:
"Although the global demand for chips will be huge in the future, other chip design manufacturers may not necessarily come to you to OEM chips.
At this time, directly building three eight-inch wafer fabs and supporting chip production lines is equivalent to your strength directly expanding to three times its original size.
This expansion is too fast, and as global chip design manufacturers may not necessarily turn to you to manufacture chips, they may incur huge losses. "
Faced with the warning from the reporter from Han Country, Lin Chen shrugged, then said with a smile:
"If they don't ask us to OEM chips, then wouldn't it be enough for us to produce the corresponding chips ourselves?!"
"this……"
Faced with Lin Chen's "arrogant" words, the reporter from Dahan Daily was stunned and didn't know what to say.
If Sugon Technology didn't have the world-class Phoenix S1 instruction set and Phoenix S1 mobile phone chip, then the reporter from Dahan Daily in the cold country would definitely make disdainful remarks at this time.
Then claiming that Sugon Technology wants to develop alternative chips is simply wishful thinking, but with the example of Phoenix S1 mobile phone chip, this has proved that Sugon Technology has the ability to develop other chips.
Therefore, the Han Country reporter's words were stuffed back into his stomach before he could say anything, and in the end he could only look at Lin Chen speechlessly.
But when he didn't speak, other reporters quickly raised their hands. Soon, a reporter from Xiangjiang Mingbao spoke with Lin Chen's permission and asked:
"Mr. Lin Chen, when will your chip factory be officially put into production?"
Facing the reporter from Xiangjiang Mingbao, Lin Chen paused for a moment and then slowly replied:
"If nothing goes wrong, it will probably be officially put into production in November or December next year."
Hearing this, the reporters at the scene immediately clicked their cameras excitedly, and the pens in their hands quickly wrote down what Lin Chen said.
At this time, a reporter from Silicon Valley Daily slowly raised his hand. After getting Lin Chen’s permission, he spoke and asked:
"Mr. Lin Chen, listening to your words, will you develop microcontroller chips or even produce memory and flash memory chips in the future?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, and then slowly replied:
“Yes, we have established a memory and flash memory R&D team and are developing memory and flash memory technology patents with independent intellectual property rights.
As for the microcontroller, it is currently under development. Our microcontroller will be launched soon, and relevant news will be announced by then. "
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the reporters on the scene pressed their cameras again, and the reporters holding notes quickly wrote down what Lin Chen said.
At this time, a reporter from Daxia slowly raised his hand and looked at the label on his microphone. He was clearly a reporter from the Internet media Penguin Portal.
After getting Lin Chen's permission, he asked:
"Mr. Lin Chen, do you feel great pressure on your 30 billion loan? Do you have the confidence to repay this loan?"
When asked by a reporter from Penguin Portal, Lin Chen said with a smile:
"Of course I'm confident, it's just a 30 billion loan. This number may seem huge to you, but in reality it's only 3.6 billion US dollars.
When the construction of our new chip factory is completed, four eight-inch wafer fabs and multiple production lines will be started at the same time, and it will not take a few years to earn US$3.6 billion by then. "
"Wow!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the scene fell into a commotion. The reporters were surprised by Lin Chen's words.
After all, such huge figures as 3.6 billion U.S. dollars and 30 billion Xia Yuan were insignificant in Lin Chen's eyes. It was too domineering to claim that he could make money in just a few years.
At this time, a Renton Daily reporter raised his hand and asked the next question after Lin Chen's words came to light. After getting Lin Chen's permission, he asked:
"Mr. Lin Chen, you have said before that you will release a high-end mobile phone in September or October. Will you give up this high-end mobile phone plan now?
Will the high-end mobile phones that have been developed and developed be abandoned? "
After hearing the question from the reporter from Renton Daily, Lin Chen thought for a moment, and then slowly answered:
“As everyone knows, we are suppressed by the four mobile phone giants.
They force those mobile phone parts manufacturers not to expand the supply scale of Sugon Technology's mid-range mobile phone parts.
The same is true for high-end mobile phone spare parts. It can even be said that the suppression faced by high-end mobile phone spare parts is more cruel than that of mid-range mobile phone accessories.
Take the 2-megapixel mobile phone lens as an example. Currently, Carlisle is only willing to supply us with 50,000 2-megapixel high-end mobile phone lenses per month.
This 50,000 per month is only 600,000 per year. Only 600,000 mobile phones can be manufactured per year. This sales volume is simply appalling!
That’s why Sugon Technology must develop its own mid-to-high-end mobile phone spare parts to break this shameless suppression. "
After hearing Lin Chen's words, especially after knowing that the current restriction on purchasing spare parts for high-end mobile phones is more serious than that for mid-range mobile phones.
The domestic and foreign reporters at the scene immediately clicked the cameras in their hands with excitement, and the reporter holding a pen frantically wrote down what Lin Chen said.
This is big news again!
Presumably this news will cause a huge controversy once it comes out, which is a good thing for reporters like them.
But Lin Chen hadn't finished speaking at this time. After all, he hadn't answered the question from the Renton Daily reporter just now.
“As for whether the high-end mobile phones that have been developed and developed will give up the release, how can we directly give up the release?
Although 50,000 high-end mobile phones per month is a bit small, since the research and development has been completed, we can sell whatever we can now. "
