When Sugon Technology announced its corresponding sales and profit results, the world was shocked.
After all, Sugon Technology has been steadily selling Sugon S2 smartphones and a variety of mid-range mobile phones in these five months as a monopoly king.
Therefore, Sugon Technology's performance announced in mid-January 2005 naturally caused an uproar around the world.
With the horrific sales performance and astonishing profits, coupled with the announcement of year-end dividends, Sugon Technology's stock price also ushered in a surge.
The market value of Sugon Technology has also skyrocketed from around US$246 billion to US$270 billion. It can be said that it is only US$10 billion away from the market value of Weiruan.
However, Lin Chen is very open-minded about stock prices and market value. Let alone the market value rising to 270 billion U.S. dollars, what if it rises to 500 billion U.S. dollars?
After all, if Lin Chen doesn't want to sell shares, the stock price will not have much impact on him, but the higher the stock price, the more beneficial it is to Sugon Technology.
Because the higher the stock price, the more people pay attention to it, which means it is safer, and the United States will be less afraid to play tricks.
Therefore, listing has the advantage of being listed. If it is not listed, it will be really difficult to make money selling mobile phones so safely.
Otherwise, according to normal circumstances, the big black hands should have already pressed Sugon Technology by this time.
But gossip aside, in the following February, Sugon Technology and even other companies seemed relatively calm, and the same was true in the following March, April, and May.
However, when the time came to early June, Sugon Semiconductor sent 500 press conference invitations to global media. The title of the invitation read "Invite them to witness history"!
Naturally, the more than 500 mainstream media outlets were very excited about this, because they knew something big was about to happen.
Although the person who invited them this time was Sugon Semiconductor, a little-known company, Sugon Semiconductor is a chip production company of Sugon System.
Obviously, this press conference is not simple. A big news that is about to shock the world will definitely be born in this press conference.
So the more than 500 media outlets that received the invitations naturally sent their reporters to Daxia Ijin to prepare for the press conference that was destined to shock the world.
Of course, there are also many reporters who come uninvited, and Sugon Semiconductor naturally readily agrees to these reporters, and there is nothing forbidden.
So, when the time came to June 7, 2005, the press conference was officially held.
Speaking of which, June 7th three years ago was the date when Lin Chen officially sold refurbished mobile phones. After three years, Lin Chen finally handed over a satisfactory answer.
Of course, gossip aside, there are nearly 1,000 domestic and foreign reporters and thousands of guests gathered in the Tianjin Stadium. At this time, they are bored and guessing about the content of this press conference.
"What exactly is Sugon Semiconductor going to release this time?"
A slender European and beautiful reporter at the scene asked her fellow reporters.
“I don’t know, the last time Sugon Semiconductor held a press conference, it was the news that the chip production line was completed at the end of last year.
Are they going to announce to the public this time that they are going to build a new chip factory? "
At this time, the person who answered the European and American reporter was a short reporter from the island country. Judging from his logo, he seemed to be a reporter from the island country's Tokyo i Daily.
However, in the face of his speculation, an equally short Hanguo reporter at the scene shook his head slightly, and then expressed his opinion:
"I don't think they need to build a new chip factory. After all, with their current chip factory production capacity, I feel it is completely sufficient.
You must know that they now have four eight-inch wafer fabs and multiple 350 nanometer, 180 nanometer, 150 nanometer, and 130 nanometer production lines.
Although they are slightly behind in not having a 12-inch wafer fab, there is no essential difference between 8-inch wafers and 12-inch wafers.
8-inch wafers can also produce high-precision chips, but the production efficiency and cost are not as good as those of 12-inch wafers.
Therefore, their production capacity should be enough, and they should not continue to expand production capacity. "
Hearing this, a reporter from Singapore also spoke:
"I think so. After all, they are now the second largest chip foundry in the world, and their chip production capacity is also ranked in the top 10. There should be no need to continue to expand production capacity."
"No, I think the current production capacity of Sugon Technology may be too insufficient."
The person speaking at this time was a young reporter from Daxia. The reporter from Daxia smiled and said when people around him looked at him in surprise:
"Sugon Technology has entered the computer industry. A computer contains a CPU chip, a graphics card chip, a south bridge chip, a north bridge chip, a sound card chip, a network card chip, a power supply chip, a display chip...
It can be said that a computer uses at least 11 larger chips. In addition, Sugon mobile phones, rice mobile phones, and chip foundry businesses also need to consume huge production capacity.
In this case, it is hard to say whether they will build a new chip production line, but I personally think they will definitely build a new wafer fab.
Under this huge demand, their wafer production capacity must be seriously insufficient. I feel that they need to build at least two 12-inch wafer fabs or four 8-inch wafer fabs to meet the demand. "
Hearing this, the European and American reporter who asked the first question nodded slightly, and then said thoughtfully:
"Listening to what you said, I do feel that Sugon Semiconductor's wafers are indeed somewhat insufficient, but why hasn't Sugon Semiconductor reported a shortage of wafers?"
In response to this, the Daxia reporter replied with a smile:
"It's very simple. Wafers are not chips. There are many manufacturers around the world that can produce wafers. If they are not enough, just buy wafers from outside. The disadvantage is that they are a little more expensive than producing them yourself.
And isn’t Zhongxin International Company’s main profit in the south coming from selling wafers? Just buy it from them, so Sugon Semiconductor will not be unable to produce chips due to lack of wafers. "
"I see."
The European and American reporters nodded slightly, and then looked at the Daxia reporter with admiration.
In the following time, the reporters at the scene continued to chat with each other.
The guests at the scene were also seated one after another. When the time came to 10 a.m., there was a sudden commotion near the entrance because Lin Chen entered the venue with a bunch of big guys.
At this time, among the people led by Lin Chen, most of the overseas reporters looked confused. Of course, most of the reporters from Daxia were also confused.
Because except for a few well-known people here, they don't know most of the people here. They don't know who those people are or what their achievements are.
