This is not because he wants to wait for a price, but really intends to do this. If he had bought a component factory before, he would be willing to produce it himself, but since he hadn't bought it, entrusting OEM is not unacceptable.

After all, a factory where dozens of people produce keyboards and a factory where hundreds of people produce modems are incomparable in management and construction.

Zhou Shuo himself is a technician and there are no talents around him who can manage factories. The cost is too high to start from scratch, and it is not cost-effective in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Zhao Zigan smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just a job. It's a bad old man. Which boss will hand over the factory to me."

As he said that, he sighed, shook his head and said, "I originally thought that if Principal Zhou planned to set up a factory, our company's team could find technical food again. As a matter of fact, I would rather be a sorter, and at least I could eat."

Zhou Shuo said regretfully: "It disappointed Director Zhao. It was a lot of trouble to build a factory from scratch. I am not prepared for this for the time being."

Zhao Zigan forced a smile and comforted Zhou Shuo in turn, saying, "Principal Zhou wants to do a big business, I can see that. If you have the opportunity in the future, please take care of the employees of our component factory."

"Sure!" Zhou Shuo nodded vigorously.

"I'm sorry, uh, I heard your conversation just now..." The person sitting on the other side of Zhao Zigan suddenly said nervously: "I am Yao Dao, the chief engineer of Huaguang Factory. Do you know Huaguang Factory?"

"Hello."

"Hello."

Zhou Shuo and Zhao Zigan turned their heads, shook hands with him, nodded and said, "As Huaguang Factory, of course I know."

Huaguang Factory is also an old factory in Xiucheng. Speaking of which, the factories that Xicheng is called famous have an extraordinary history. This is because at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiucheng was one of the largest industrial cities in China, and even many industries can be said to have branched out from Xiucheng. The same is true for Huaguang Factory. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was a military factory for Neon people to produce gun aiming equipment, and later gradually developed into a complete variety of quartz crystal products factory. It is very famous in the domestic quartz industry, and even Taizu's crystal coffin was produced by this factory.

"If it was Huaguang Factory, I wonder if Principal Zhou was interested?" Yao Dao asked Zhou Shuo.

"Want to sell Huaguang Factory?" Zhou Shuo was a little surprised. Huaguang Factory and component factories had similar scales, but the products were still of some level in China. At least there was no big problem in sales. There was no reason why it would not be able to continue to open.

Yao Dao sighed and said, "The city plans to sell it, but the buyer has already made it. It is the French San Dieban Group. The San Dieban Group is a multinational company, mainly engaged in quartz products, from glass to quartz crucibles. This time, it is an official who actively contacted the government and hopes to acquire Huaguang Factory."

"Wait, the quartz crucible?" Zhou Shuo was shocked.

"That's right, it seems that Principal Zhou is also aware of it." Yao Dao nodded.

Zhou Shuo said anxiously: "It is used on single crystal furnaces, right? If I remember correctly, Huaguang Factory introduced a Japanese production line in the 1980s. It should be the only quartz crucible production line in China that can produce single crystal furnaces?"

Yao Dao shook his head and said modestly: "The only production line is not enough, but our quartz crucible is produced using arc method and is the only quartz crucible for semiconductor-grade single crystal silicon preparation in China."

The arc quartz crucible production line was introduced by Huaguang Factory from Neon Toshiba Ceramics Company in 1987. It took five years to complete the independent absorption of the entire production line, and then filled the domestic technology gap.

Quartz crucibles can be used below 1450 degrees and are generally divided into two types: transparent and opaque. The translucent quartz crucible made by the arc method is an essential basic material for drawing large-diameter single crystal silicon and developing large-scale integrated circuits. The so-called wafer factory that produces chips is actually a wafer processing factory. The wafer, that is, a single crystal silicon thin sheet, is provided by a single crystal silicon preparation factory. Of course, some wafer factories themselves have single crystal silicon preparation equipment to provide high-purity single crystal silicon.

Single crystal silicon is the raw material of semiconductor chips, and is divided into electronic grades and solar cell grades in terms of purity. The electronic grade requires that the purity of single crystal silicon must reach 119, while the solar cell grade only requires that the purity of single crystal silicon reaches 69. An important factor affecting the purity of single crystal silicon is the quartz crucible used in single crystal furnaces.

Zhou Shuo asked in disbelief: "How can the country sell units like Huaguang Factory? Without Huaguang Factory, how can we develop the monocrystalline silicon manufacturing industry in the future?"

Yao Dao smiled bitterly and said, "There is any solution? The city is desperate. The San Dieban Group must set up a factory in China. Their technology is more advanced than ours. If you choose to build a factory in another place, Huaguang Factory may not be able to compete with them. Instead of waiting for Huaguang Factory to become a burden in the future, it is better to sell it to San Dieban now and make a profit, right?"

"Isn't this selling all the initiative of the entire downstream industrial chain? Can the superiors agree?"

"Hey, no unit in the country is easy now. Everyone should take care of their own personal care. Besides..." Yao Dao pursed his lips helplessly, and then said: "You should also know what our country's semiconductor industry looks like. Even if Huaguang Factory is left in the hands of the country, the downstream industries will still not be able to be covered with the wall."

Zhou Shuo sighed and shook his head, "That can't be sold."

"So." Yao Dao looked at Zhou Shuo seriously and said, "I just thought that if Principal Zhou could strive to buy Huaguang Factory, even if he switched to other products, at least the production line and people would be retained. If one day the country needs to produce monocrystalline silicon, we can immediately re-enter production. Then Principal Zhou, you can make a big profit, how good?"

Zhou Shuo held his chin and said in thought: "Let me think about it."

Yao Dao's suggestion really touched him. Others don't know it, but Zhou Shuo knew it. At the latest by the end of 1995, the government will start the 909 project. The so-called 909 project is the country's project code for the construction of large-scale integrated circuit chip production lines. The main body of the project is Huahong Microelectronics Co., Ltd. For Huahong Microelectronics, which has a total investment of 4 billion yuan, the demand for monocrystalline silicon will certainly not be without business.

If Huaguang Factory was not sold at this time, with the nature of the 909 project, it would definitely give priority to domestic enterprises. Because for Huahong Microelectronics, the main body of the 909 project, the important thing is to revitalize China's chip industry rather than make money. In fact, Huahong even suffered losses for ten consecutive years after the production line was completed and put into production.

Of course, there are many reasons for the losses over the past decade. The main reason is that except for a 0.35 micron technology production line, Huahong itself does not have the ability to complete the entire industrial chain.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Shuo turned to Zhao Zigan and asked, "Where is Director Zhao? If I acquire Huaguang Factory, are you sure to form production capacity as soon as possible?"

Zhao Zigan didn't expect that things would turn around and the flowers were bright. When he heard Zhou Shuo's question, his eyes lit up and he patted his chest and said, "No problem, I can pull out all the technicians in the component factory. As long as I fill the qualified workers into the production line, I can ensure that the production capacity is formed immediately!"

"Since that's the case, I'll fight with this San Dieban Group!" Zhou Shuo said firmly.

After the meeting of the Science and Technology Association was held, Zhou Shuo immediately left with Yao Dao. Before he decided to acquire Huaguang Factory, he had to confirm whether the status of Huaguang Factory was worthy of his investment.

The two of them took a bus to Huaguang Factory, registered with the guard, and wandered around the factory. Yao Dao pointed and pointed at the factory from time to time, introducing Zhou Shuo to the situation of the factory.

The level of Huaguang Factory itself is absolutely not bad. The factory area is clean and tidy, the workers strictly abide by the regulations, and various means of production are also placed in an orderly manner. It is definitely not the kind of grass-roots team that can be dealt with if they can.

This is also the reason why Zhou Shuo is unwilling to run a factory by himself. The atmosphere formed by a factory is by no means overnight. Management rules and regulations, talent reserves and employees' ownership of the company, etc. The soft power of a factory is not something that can be achieved by being willing to spend money.

And this soft power is a reflection of a factory's competitiveness.

In contrast to building a factory from scratch, if you have such a foundation and recruit people to expand it, this advantage can be maintained well.

Yao Dao pointed to a workshop and said, "This is the quartz crucible production line we introduced. It can currently reach a monthly output of 500. If the manpower continues to increase, it can easily double the output."

"The equipment is good!" Zhou Shuo looked at the huge quartz crucible melting furnace in the distance. After the heating was over, the workers were opening the furnace door. A wave of heat rushed, and the red-burned quartz crucible blank sat in the arc heating kettle. The base slowly rotated under the driving of the motor, and the quartz crucible gradually cooled down, showing a milky white all over.

Yao Dao pointed to the subsequent equipment and introduced in turn: "After these blanks are cooled, they will be sandblasted first, and then cut edges, ultrasonic cleaning of high-purity water and high-pressure cleaning, and finally they can be inspected and packaged."

"Don't you need to apply coating?" Zhou Shuoqi said.

Yao Dao smiled bitterly and said, "I have heard of this coating, but our production line was introduced early. The coating technology has only been developed over the years and we have not mastered it."

"Isn't it just barium dioxide..." Zhou Shuo suddenly realized halfway through his speech that barium dioxide solution coating is still a technology that only a few companies have mastered. These are all secrets of foreign companies. I'm afraid that even the coating composition in China is not known.

Sure enough, when Yao Dao heard his words, he asked excitedly: "Principal Zhou knows the composition of the coating? In fact, the quartz crucible technology itself is the production efficiency that is different from foreign countries. The key technology is this coating! After solving the coating technology, I have the confidence to compete with San Dieban!"

Yao Dao's cheerful voice had not yet fallen, and suddenly a stern voice sounded behind him.

"Old Yao, why do you bring irrelevant people to the workshop? Don't you know the production discipline?"
