"Master Yao and Director Zhao have raised the issue well. If the group wants to embark on the path of formal development, it must try to reduce the subjective will of the leaders as much as possible, but instead give full play to the power of the system and formulate a reasonable development plan. Our Panhan Group has grown significantly now, so we don't have to think about the previous focus on one point, and we have the confidence to develop peacefully."

Zhou Shuo was not angry about the attack of the two, but calmly agreed with their ideas. Not only that, he also raised the nature of the matter from the perspective of group development. This made the two people who were a little worried before and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I want to say this."

Zhou Shuo turned his head and saw that it was Tu Anbei who wanted to speak, and hurriedly said, "What kind of high-profile Mr. Tu has, can you say it all."

"Ahem, it is not that the research institute does not pay attention to the technology of the two units. We have actually been studying monocrystalline silicon smelting technology. But the problem is that this research has never been able to develop upstream in the industrial chain. Take monocrystalline silicon smelting as an example. Not to mention the technology of quartz crucibles, if you want to produce 300mm single-crystalline silicon ingots, you need more advanced polycrystalline silicon or pure silicon powder purification technology."

Tu Anbei spread his hands and said helplessly: "We have searched all over the country, but no unit can provide this level of raw materials. In fact, we are now 200mm single crystal silicon ingots, and most of the raw materials still have to rely on imports from Americans. Quartz technology also faces the same problem. The upstream is in the hands of Corning, the United States. If we want to develop the next generation of technology, it is hard to cook without rice..."

"That's right. Corning is currently the main supplier of lens raw materials for lithography machines. We use polymer laser technology to manufacture 0.18 micron lithography machines, and we also have to deal with this company."

Ma Yougong is the general manager of Fanhan Optics Manufacturing. At present, the world's most advanced lithography machine production technology is in his hands. Fanhan Optics not only provides lithography machine equipment for Intel's new production line. The same country's 909 project, which is a wafer factory with Magic City Huahong as the main body, also needs Fanhan Optics to provide core equipment.

In this life, the country has invested more in the 909 project. Huahong, based on eight-inch wafers and 0.18 micron technology, can ensure the world-class level in at least two or three years. The progress made by Fanhan Group in chip manufacturing is also the fundamental reason why the country dares to increase its investment in this way.

Coupled with the needs of Huajing Group and Fanhan Group, Fanhan Optical Manufacturing Company is now working at full capacity and conducting production 24 hours a day. Even so, it is still a bit stretched.

From this we can see what kind of danger it will pose to Fanhan Group once the supply of high-purity raw materials for producing lenses occurs.

Zhou Shuo smacked his lips. Who would have thought that the seemingly powerful Fanhan Group's foundation was so fragile? Now, after making a rapid progress, we still have to lay a solid foundation.

"What if we develop these technologies ourselves? Does the Panhan Research Institute have a foundation in materials science?"

Zhou Shuo is a little used to this situation. Which field is easy to explore along the way? The domestic foundation is poor. It is not normal to pursue and intercept foreign countries. If there is no technology, the first thing that comes to mind is to develop it yourself and break through it yourself.

However, what disappointed him was that Tu Anbei actually shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Raw material purification and material development, electronic technology may extend too long. The gap between us and foreign countries is systematic. If we want to make up for it all, then we might as well just upgrade the industrial system of the Republic. Even Corning, they are not without upstream industries. Should we continue to go deeper? For example, ore mining and smelting, trace element extraction and ratio, there are many chemical and physical technologies involved in it. Can we bear it on our shoulders?"

"Uh, that's what I said..."

Zhou Shuo's face looked a little ugly and sighed slightly. The smooth sailing of all the time made him a little inflated. He forgot that the domestic industrial foundation was not the same as more than ten years later. At that time, the entire industrial investment was very strong. Even if there was no technology, as long as there was demand, someone would invest in and develop it.

For example, the raw materials of single-crystalline silicon and pure silicon powder were polycrystalline silicon powder. The domestic solar energy industry has exploded. After this demand, the solar-grade single-crystalline silicon furnace was soon produced in China, and the corresponding raw materials were also supplied in China. However, due to the failure of domestic chip technology in electronic-grade single-crystalline silicon, the demand for electronic-grade single-crystalline silicon has been slow to rise, so there is no motivation for the upstream of raw materials and raw materials...

But this was in 1997, when China was facing the problem of capital hunger. Even if he had this demand, can a monocrystalline silicon factory and a quartz factory provoke the rise of an industry?

"We need to improve the materials aspect, and the current demand level must be improved by another level. At that time, whether we invest our own research and development or attract social investment, there will be no big problems. But how can we digest this growing production capacity?"

Zhou Shuo’s question made everyone look at each other. This is nothing else, but to expand production capacity from the source of the industrial chain. It is like a laser, which moves slightly from the launch point at an angle, and the laser landing point may move thousands of times.

The size of a single crystal silicon wafer is only upgraded every ten years. Every time it is upgraded, the chip manufacturing process may have been upgraded four or five times. You should know that the circle area is multiplied by the square of the radius. When the 200mm wafer is upgraded to 300mm wafer, the available area is more than doubled! This change doubles the chip production capacity and doubles the cost. Think about it, this is the capacity explosion caused by upstream technology upgrades.

At present, the entire system of Fanhan Group is based on the final product output. What should I do if the supply is suddenly increased and I can’t be used? What impact will these semi-finished products have on the market? When it comes to industrial upgrading, even a country with such a large fault tolerance rate is trembling, let alone Fanhan Group.

Everyone here is the senior executives of Fanhan Group. When they heard Zhou Shuo’s question, everyone couldn’t help but think about it.

"How about we expand or build new wafer fabs and increase Huajing's foundry business?"

The person who spoke was Liu Gang. He was responsible for the operation of the Fanhan Electronics Factory. In fact, there were some complaints about the geographical location of Huajing. After all, Wu. Tin is located in the south and the location is too far away. The monocrystalline silicon ingots produced by the monocrystalline silicon factory have to be transported from thousands of miles to Wu. Tin, and then produced into wafers, and then transported back to Xiucheng thousands of miles. Isn’t this a “work”?

"It's a way." Zhou Shuo nodded slightly and agreed: "The current focus of Fanhan Group is on the imperial capital and Bohai Province, and there is no such thing as thrust. However, our country's current I-design capabilities have not kept up. If we rashly expand the proportion of OEM business, we are afraid that it will impact the benefits of Huahong of 909 Project..."

Zhou Shuo didn't say it all, but everyone understood what he meant. Hua Hong was the biological son of the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Who would have to consider it if he wanted to steal someone's job?

"Let's do this, we still have to tap our potential and digest it ourselves." Zhou Shuo sighed. For the time being, there are still many wafer factories in the world that produce and sell their own products, but the future trend is indeed OEM. The most important thing is to boost the domestic IIC design capabilities. Only with excellent IIC design can there be great development in the OEM market.

"But there is really a shortage of domestic IC design talents now!" Tu Anbei patted his thighs and said frowningly: "When Menghai Microelectronics was established, it had already scraped a layer of land in China. Now Huahong also wants to do IC design and another layer of land. There are only so many talents in China who can do IC design. It is probably unrealistic to expand the scale immediately."

"What tasks do Menghai Microelectronics currently have?"

Menghai Microelectronics is a special existence in the Panhan Research Institute. One is the basis of the Panhan Research Institute. The second is that although the Panhan Group has absolute controlling shares, there are still some shares in the hands of the state, which is quite independent. Zhou Shuo's internal control of it must be achieved through Tu Anbei.

"OTN system chip, next-generation switch and router chip, next-generation mp3 decoding chip, wifi baseband chip, wifi decoding chip, space architecture chip is coming to an end, but the soc chips of PDA and electronic dictionary have just begun..."

Tu Anbei complained: "The biggest problem facing Menghai Microelectronics is the shortage of manpower! Even if we recruit talents vigorously in society, most of the people who come here are young people, and they will be able to achieve a high level of work experience for a few years. But the one that is most lacking in China is the leader in IC design."

"The top-level circle is only so big, and you can count it with just one hand and a foot. There are thirteen engineers who can do projects independently, which is already one of the best in China! If you want to add new jobs, no one can take over!"

Tu Anbei has devoted all his efforts to Menghai Microelectronics and has known all the projects he is investing in. Not only are there projects from Fanhan Group, but there are also many chip development tasks entrusted by society. Each of the thirteen project teams, each of whom is in charge of the head is busy with his feet, and he really has no more energy.

Each of them has a simple task, and each task is no less important than other tasks. Even if Zhou Shuo had many good ideas in his mind, he couldn't stand it. There were only so many people in total. Even if he was allowed to go into battle bare hands, it would be a drop in the bucket.

what to do?

The living room suddenly became quiet, and everyone lowered their heads and looked sad.
