Hearing that Lin Xuan knew about the Wassenaar Agreement, Zhang Rujing said,
"It's not easy to introduce a production line now!”
Although the company had several production lines, including a 12-inch production line and an 8-inch production line acquired by the company in Tianjin.
However, he couldn't sell it off so easily.
However, Lin Xuan smiled and said,
"Chairman Zhang, I have a way to deal with the equipment, but…"
At this point, he stopped and looked at Zhang Shangzhou.
"
The path is irregular?" The latter seemed to have understood something and asked.
"You can say that!"
Lin Xuan nodded. The goods he exchanged from the system did not have any labels or origins.
Therefore, if they wanted to use it publicly, they had to discuss it with the government officials.
In Shanghai, Zhang Shangzhou still had a certain amount of power. As long as he agreed,
he could easily solve the problem of irregular channels for equipment.
"That's not a problem. As long as you ship your things to Shanghai, I can help you with all the procedures!”
Zhang Shangzhou said.
In fact, in order to break through the previous Batumi Agreement and the current Wassenaar Agreement,
many companies had done this.
Some valuable items even required the protection of the army.
Chip equipment, such as photolithographic machines, etchers, film forming equipment, wafer-inspection equipment, polishing equipment, and developing equipment, were all high-tech equipment.
Zhang Shangzhou could use the introduction of advanced technology to complete all the procedures.
Hearing Zhang Shangzhou's guarantee, Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, the next step was to build a factory and produce and sell it.
Generally speaking, the construction of a fab was basically done by Oems.
After all, even if the machines were advanced, artificial cultivation would take time. It could not be said that the machines could be sent over and produce all kinds of top-notch chips without any training.
That was obviously impossible.
After a period of time, the new fab could train a group of skilled workers.
At this time, the fab could enter the memory chip industry.
Relatively speaking, the technical content of the memory chip was much simpler than the processor chip.
If Lin Xuan wanted to enter the chip market, he could not escape this rule.
Fortunately, he could make rapid progress in a short period of time through SIMC, Zhanxun, and Huahong.
The premise was that these companies were willing to help.
In addition, there was the technical patent that could not be avoided.
Although Lin Xuan could exchange for various technological products and techniques in the system store
, he could not avoid some low-level patents.
For example, if the patent for the flash memory of the ADC was owned by toshiba, you would need toshiba's authorization if you wanted to produce it.
However, with the help of companies such as SIMC, such basic patents could be solved quickly.
In fact, even without Lin Xuan mentioning it, Zhang Rujing asked,
"Director Lin, do you need financial help for your new company?"”
Since the equipment could bypass Beauty Nation, then with the advantage of Lin Xuan's overseas company in chip technology,
according to Moore's Law, they did not have to worry about the problem of technology falling behind in the next three to four years.
Moreover, with the cooperation between the two parties, the company would also be able to gain 50mn technology experience,
which was very beneficial to the company.
Zhan Xun and Hua Hong shared the same thoughts.
Lin Xuan did not reject this.
Although he was not short of money, he needed a large number of orders to do Oems.
Clearly, Yuanhang Technology did not have enough customers.
This was not to say that advanced technology was enough.
Therefore, after preliminary negotiations,
Zhanxun, Huahong, SIMC, and Shanghai Industrial Management Co., Ltd.(a state-owned enterprise) announced that they would invest in the company.
Based on 2004 prices, a new 12-inch production line would cost 1.5 billion US dollars.
However, a 200cm N200cm NZT manufactured by 2112: The 1950Ci model of the deep-violet photolithographic system
was priced at 12 million USD.
An ordinary deep violet photolithographic machine only cost 6 million USD.
Immersion Extreme Ultraviolet Photolitography Machine NXT1950i
Light Source Wavelength193nm38nm1
(Single exposure)
Production rate of 175 films(hour
Production Time: February 2012
Exchange Price: 12 million USD.
He chose this model because it was the most cost-effective.
In the future, the Asmerl engraving machine models would be the NXT1960Bi, NXT1970Ci, and NXT1980Di
. However, these engraving machines only improved the accuracy and stability of the imprinting.
However, even the NXT1960Bi would cost 20 million USD.
One had to know that a 12-inch production line required hundreds to hundreds of engraving machines of various models
.
The immersion extreme ultra-violet photolithographic machine NXT1950i could already meet the requirements below 45mn. At
this stage, it was enough to form a technical advantage.
As for the Extreme Ultraviolet Photolocation Machine.
Even the third-generation model in 2014, the NXE3350B, was mainly made of 7 nanometres.
However, the deep-violet could also handle 7mn, which was why the NXE3350B was relatively useless.
Even so, the exchange price of this machine in the system was as high as 300 million US dollars.
As for the fourth-generation NXE3400B and NXE3400C photolithographic machines used for 5 nanometres production, it might have been too long ago from 2004.
The exchange price for each of them was more than 500 million USD.
Lin Xuan could only say that he could not afford it.
Hence, they invested 2 billion USD to build a 12-inch chip production line in Shanghai
. Lin Xuan invested in machines and technology, Zhang Shangzhou represented the Shanghai government and invested in land.
The initial intention of the project was reached.
However, it was a 2 billion USD project after all. This matter had to be reported to the Shanghai government, and the
Shanghai government had to report it to the National Development and Redevelopment Committee before it could be approved.
According to the regulations, any city that launched a project with more than 1 billion US dollars had to be approved by the National Development and Redevelopment Committee.
The chip industry was no exception.
But even so, Lin Xuan became a distinguished guest of the Shanghai government.
Especially after the Shanghai government
learned of the few chips that Lin Xuan carried through Zhang Shangzhou's report and that they were a generation ahead of the world's most advanced technology, the
deputy mayor in charge of the economy of Shanghai directly called Lin Xuan to the Shanghai government office
to meet. This deputy mayor called Zhou Ming said very politely,
"Xiao Lin, I know you. It's Imperial Capital Yuanhang Technology's TT. That's an internet high-tech company. Impressive!"”
Lin Xuan glanced at Zhang Shangzhou and said with a smile,
"You flatter me!"
"Hehe, Little Lin, don't be modest!”
Zhou Ming continued,
"It's just Xiao Lin. This is no small matter. It concerns the future of Shanghai. How confident are you?"”
Lin Xuan had done his homework before coming to the city government.
Hence, he said,
"As long as the Shanghai government is willing to provide certain conveniences, the project can be 100% settled in Shanghai!"”
To be honest, Lin Xuan had once considered placing the chip company in Imperial City or Shanghai.
However, in the end, he chose Shanghai.
The main reason was that Shanghai was far away from the emperor's feet, so the business environment was better.
On the other hand, Shanghai's chip industry had companies such as Spreading News, Shanghai International Corporation, and Huahong.
They could have more complementation.
In the end, many of Lin Xuan's equipment could not be seen.
Shanghai was relatively more open-minded than the capital.
Moreover, the Imperial Capital lacked water, while chip production required a large amount of water.
Therefore, he chose Shanghai.
