Chapter 105: Running a Thousand Miles

"No problem!" Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "How many do you want?"

"Five...no, let's do it!" Liu Kan said hesitantly.

"Okay, then three units." Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "I don't ask for profits from the country. The purchase price of each single crystal furnace is US$500,000, which is 4.3 million yuan per unit. Three units are 12.9 million. If you take the money, you can take the equipment."

"12.9 million!" Liu Kan shook the 908 project. The total investment in the 908 project is only 2 billion yuan. This is an investment from single crystal refining to chip packaging and designing the entire process! 12.9 million is almost all the scientific research expenses that can be obtained by the single crystal furnace project.

Before coming, Liu Kan also thought about the price. However, the unit price of domestic 100mm single crystal furnace is only 300,000 yuan. In his consciousness, one million yuan for 200mm electronic-grade single crystal furnaces is already a sky-high price. According to the resources currently in hand of the project team, he did not open his mouth and reduced the five single crystal furnaces to three. How could he have an 200mm single crystal furnace that costs 4.3 million yuan!

"This, this is too--" Liu Kan was dizzy, and even he didn't know what he wanted to say.

"Can Principal Zhou be cheaper?" Yu Shunshui said, "You see, the country is not easy now, 4.3 million is too expensive, I think 2 million is about the same."

Zhou Shuo said happily: "Director Yu, you are buying clothes, bargaining at half the price. If the 908 project was not a national project, could I give it to me if someone came to ask for equipment? My factory building next to Huaguang Factory has not even stopped for the New Year. Why? You should hurry up and digest the technology."

He gasped and said angrily: "My purchase price of 500,000 US dollars in Japan is not worth a penny with the country. I have a contract here, do you want to see it? The money for relationships is not calculated yet. The cost price alone is like this. I think the country should have tried to buy equipment in Japan, right? It's not me, but the fact is that they don't sell it at all!"

This cannot be said that you cannot buy high-end equipment. These state-owned enterprises are incompetent than Zhou Shuo. However, the country has methods of doing things, but it is not as flexible as individuals. In order to obtain a 200mm single crystal furnace, Zhou Shuo can use tricks and do secret transactions, but the country must be upright in doing things. He engages in economic and trade negotiations, exchanges of interests or political solutions. It is okay to get things done by informal means, but what if it fails? Who is responsible? If the regulations are destroyed by legitimate reasons for the first time, you must be prepared to be destroyed by self-interest for the second time.

"Cough cough." Liu Kan coughed falsely, relieved his emotions and said, "Principal Zhou, don't think that the total investment of 908 Project is more than 2 billion yuan, in fact, the money assigned to each project team is the same as pepper noodles, not much! Since the equipment is so expensive, I will want one."

"One?" Zhou Shuo said laughing and cryingly: "It's not me that if one is said, it would be better to keep it in my hands. Or is the project team confident that they can get domestic technology from a single crystal furnace?"

Liu Kan was so embarrassed that she blushed and sighed: "I didn't expect that, you said that this price increased by more than ten times from 100mm to 200mm! But as the 908 project was established in 1990, it still cannot be put into production. The advanced indicators back then are now all behind. If you don't catch up, the entire production line will be eliminated soon after it is put into production."

Zhou Shuo knew that the final fate of the 908 project, a project that was once given deep hope by the state, was a complete failure. The most fundamental reason was to use the idea of ​​planned economy to build the electronics industry. The project was approved at all levels, and the project was established in 1990, and it was not put into trial operation in 1997. How long will it take to start construction in 7 years? It was all used to pay for money from running departments.

The original 1.2 to 0.8 micron technology was originally used by Intel from 1985 to 1990 and was used on 386 and 486. As a result, the Pentium series has been launched, and the shadow of its own chip has not been seen yet.

"But the country cannot let individuals lose money because of this, it doesn't make sense." Zhou Shuo shook his head and sighed: "I understand Mr. Liu's anxious mood, but I am bluntly speaking, if the 908 project cannot increase investment and speed up the construction speed, it will definitely fail."

It would be fine if Zhou Shuo didn't say it, but when he said that, Liu Kan's eyes turned red. The project was not going well, and the trekking of thousands of miles was exhausted. The great sorrow after the great joy completely shattered his emotions. No matter where this was, he grabbed the wine on the table and took a big sip, sighing: "How can the 908 project fail? If it fails, what should we do in our country's electronics industry? So many people, what should we do after so many years of hard work? I'm afraid we will always run behind the butts of foreigners!"

The sad man was drunk quickly, and Zhou Shuo quickly held the wine glass in his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, don't be so sad. After all, the 908 project is still in operation, and the future is still unknown. Even if this project fails, your efforts will not be in vain. Huajing's company itself still has a way out."

The 908 project cannot be said to have failed, but it is meaningless. In fact, the significance of the 908 project is of great significance. Without the failure of the 908 project, there would be no success of the 909 project. The 908 project used its own failure to pay the tuition for the 909 project. This is really a tuition. At least the country has learned the cruelty of the electronic engineering industry from the 908 project.

In about two years, the technology will be improved by one generation, capital-intensive, knowledge-intensive, and labor-intensive. Experts must lead experts, simplify approval, speed up approval, and increase the autonomy of enterprises...

The reasons for the failure of the 908 project were later improved in the 909 project. Since the reform and opening up, not all tuition payments have been wasted. If this project fails, get up and learn from experience. As long as it succeeds in the end, the efforts on the road will be meaningful.

"Let me do this, I can provide five single crystal furnaces for Huajing, but I have a requirement." Zhou Shuo said in Liu Kan's eyes.

"You said." Liu Kan stared at him with scarlet eyes.

"Huajing, that is, 1% of the shares of 908 Project." Zhou Shuo said seriously.

"Do you want Huajing's shares?" Liu Kan said stupidly: "To be honest, the progress of the 908 project is not going well, and your investment is likely to be wasted in the end."

Zhou Shuo smiled happily and said: "908 Project is 908 Project. What I want is Huajing Microelectronics shares. 1% of the shares, and the right to give priority to subscribe to equity within three years."

Liu Kan looked at him in shock, as if he was stupid, with his mouth wide open.

"You are, you want to take over the 908 project in the future!" Liu Kan said in disbelief.

Zhou Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said as if nothing had happened: "If the 908 project is successful, of course it is best. My investment is believed to be able to exchange for more than ten times the profit. If the 908 project fails, someone will always take over Huajing? Just as Mr. Liu said, the youth and money of so many people cannot be wasted."

Liu Kan sat up straight, looked Zhou Shuo again, shook his head in admiration and said, "Principal Zhou is the decision I just made? Your courage is the biggest person I have ever met!"

Zhou Shuo smiled and said nothing. Of course, this was not a decision he made in a hurry. No wafer factory in the world fell from the sky and made something out of nothing. Even if he was covered in iron, how many nails could he make? A person could not support a wafer factory no matter what. Huajing, Huahong, SMIC, Shougang, who did not stand on countless corpses of his peers?

The only opportunity and ability to take over by Zhou Shuo is the 908 Project. Although the investment scale of this production line is small and the technical indicators are behind, at least a group of technical talents have been trained. Instead of selling it to Hong Kong people at a cheap price in the future, Zhou Shuo feels it is better to take over by himself. For Huajing, this should be a more promising choice.

Even if Liu Kan doesn't come to find him this time, Zhou Shuo will come to him sooner or later. However, if he could nail a wedge into it with a single crystal furnace today, it would be better than if he hurriedly took over the mess two years later.

Liu Kan stood up and decisively said: "Sure, Principal Zhou is so sincere, I will do my best to make this happen!"

Zhou Shuo picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "Then I wish Mr. Liu a success."

When Zhou's mother came back with braised fish, she saw Yu Shunshui and Liu Kan dressed neatly and was about to go out. She quickly scolded Zhou Shuo angrily and said, "What did you say? You're leaving just now? Zhou Shuo, our family didn't ask you to greet guests like that, right?"

Yu Shunshui came out to smooth things over and waved his hands repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong. We have something to do. Mr. Liu comes from the south, so we can't live outside for many years."

"So, then wait!" Zhou's mother put the braised fish on the table, turned around and went back to the kitchen. Not long after, she ran over with a thermal bucket and stuffed it into Liu Kan's hand and said, "Get into the car and dumplings, there is nothing good to eat. Bring Mr. Liu some pork and green onion stuffing dumplings on the way. This winter is warm!"

Seeing that Liu Kan was about to refuse, Zhou Shuo quickly beat the drum next to him and said, "Mr. Liu, it's not easy to run over thousands of miles for the sake of the country. We can't do anything, it's a pity to give you some dumplings."

"Then I feel ashamed." Liu Kan touched the corners of his eyes and accepted the insulation bucket handed over by Zhou's mother.

Zhou Shuo sighed, put on his fur coat, raised his collar, and sent the two people out of the door. Although it was already bright and the stars were sparse, the ground that had just snowed was white, and the moonlight was not much dimmer than during the day.

"Principal Zhou, how is that girl outside in our family doing? She is a girl and never going home, it's not a big deal."

Not far away, Yu Shunshui pulled Zhou Shuo aside and asked in lamentation.

Zhou Shuo scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Yu Qiong is busy with a project in Japan, not far from us. I guess the plane will be home by day tomorrow, and I will be able to get home at night."

"That's the best!" Yu Shunshui nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "You said she is not young anymore, and she is not in a hurry to get married. I don't want her to marry a ghost guy. When I come back this time, I have to pull her to find a good guy!"
