Chapter 295: Rapid development, sales explode again!(1/3)
As for whether there will be an accident?
Will the 4G international standard no longer be LTE?
That won't happen!
Without him, the current LTE is dominated by the empire. They have invested a lot of money and occupy the largest share of patents.
If LTE becomes obsolete, the empire will not agree!
The number of these LTE patents acquired by Wang Yi is small compared to a country, but it is quite a lot compared to a mobile phone company.
What's more, last year, Wang Yi recruited a large number of communication experts and experts to continue to develop new LTE patents. In the future, there will be a steady stream of 4G patents, creating a patent moat for Xingyi Technology.
Coupled with other related patents developed and acquired by Wang Yi, Xingyi Technology's moat will only grow stronger.
It is only a matter of time until it goes on sale globally like Huawei.
But before that, Wang Yi's goal is to overturn Apple and win the domestic market!
As for x buds and Xingyi Tablet, you can go to sea directly to fight!
Goertek's production capacity continues to increase, and its daily production capacity will reach 150,000 units, which is 4.5 million units a month, which is enough to sell.
After all, the domestic market will not be able to sell three million dollars every month, and it will only drop to about two million in the future.
The excess production capacity needs to be absorbed by the European and American markets.
The internationalization of x buds can only be promoted as quickly as possible. Once it is copied, it will be in big trouble.
Although big European and American brands are afraid of patent prosecution and will not copycat, some small countries are not afraid at all.
It’s better to push forward as soon as possible and capture the global market as soon as possible.
At worst, let Goer continue to add orders!
That night, Wang Yi and Lao Huang agreed on an additional order of tens of millions, and they had a great time drinking.
I didn’t return to the hotel until after ten o’clock.
Early the next morning, we set off on the journey again, heading straight to California.
Mr. Hu is now working as a teacher in California.
In fact, Mr. Hu has always been a teacher and a true master of technology. Mr. Liang is Mr. Hu’s student and his most proud disciple.
The technical route taken by Mr. Liang is also the FinFET architecture innovative by Mr. Hu.
As for how powerful the FinFET architecture is?
Break the limitations of the 20nm process and work all the way to 16nm, 14nm, 12nm, 10nm, 7nm, 5nm, and 4nm!
It can be said that without Mr. Hu’s FinFET architecture, the time for global semiconductors to break through the 20-nanometer process would have been delayed for many years.
If Xingyi Semiconductor has Mr. Hu, it will have a bright future!
This is why Wang Yi flew all the way to the empire to meet Mr. Hu in person.
Fortunately at the moment, it has not attracted the attention of the empire, and there is no hysteria about the siege of the East.
After a few years, Wang Yi from the empire may not even dare to come.
It is better to take advantage of the current stable market situation and buy what should be bought in advance, win what can be obtained in advance, and dig out what should be dug in advance.
Wang Yi will never leave Xia Kingdom no matter who he loves in the future.
The enemy has no moral integrity and no lower limit. Safety comes first.
In the afternoon, Wang Yi came to California, met Mr. Hu, smiled and extended his hand:
"Mr. Hu, I have heard about his name for a long time, but today I finally met him!"
Wang Yi was in awe of this technology giant who created a semiconductor era.
Mr. Hu is not only a technical master, but also an honorary professor and part-time professor in Qingbei.
In 1990, a graduate scholarship was established and domestic students were called upon to return to China to develop the semiconductor industry.
Together with his father and younger brother, he also established the Hu Scholarship Fund in Jiangsu Province to reward graduates with excellent academic performance but poor family backgrounds to go to college.
Wang Yi admired this kind of existence very much.
"You're welcome, Mr. Wang. Your name is also well known to me!"
Mr. Hu smiled and said: "Even in the Empire and California, there are a group of people discussing you. When discussing the xphone 1, they bluntly said that it is a mobile phone that is comparable to the iPhone 4s, or even better than the iPhone 4s. It is a pity that the Empire has not been launched. Otherwise I would have to buy one!”
Wang Yi sighed: “Xphone 1 also considered launching it overseas, but the lack of patents deterred us.”
Hu Laozheng nodded, feeling helpless: "Patents are a big issue. HTC has been sued continuously and banned from sales many times, resulting in heavy losses. It is a wise move not to launch the Xingyi mobile phone overseas. It is a pity!"
But Wang Yi didn't care: "It's okay, the difficulty is only temporary. One day, everything will be solved."
"Oh? Director Wang is already doing patent layout?" Mr. Hu became interested.
With a few simple words, he realized that Wang Yi was not simple.
If it had been anyone else, let alone making mobile phones, they would not have been so successful, let alone the patent layout!
But what about Wang Yi?
The first mobile phone was an epoch-making flagship of the year, crushing the iPhone 4S. It even laid out patents in advance!
It can be said that Wang Yi has done what HTC has not been able to do for many years!
Even a great guy like Mr. Hu admires him immensely.
Wang Yi nodded: "It is indeed already being done. We have established a 4G research institute, recruited a large number of communication experts, experts, and even academicians to develop 4G patents in advance. We have also acquired some LTE core patents."
"Acquiring LTE core patents?" Mr. Hu became interested: "The 4G international patent has not yet been determined, and various parties are still competing. How can Director Wang be sure that LTE is the international patent of 4G?"
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "It's a gamble, but I feel that I have a good chance of winning."
Mr. Hu was noncommittal: "If the bet is right, Xingyi Mobile's patent moat will be established. If it is wrong, all the money will be lost."
Wang Yi, however, was full of confidence: "We will definitely win."
"I hope so." Mr. Hu changed the topic: "Dr. Wang, you have come all the way here, but what's the matter?"
Wang Yi said frankly: "To be honest, our Xingyi Technology is preparing to focus on chip manufacturing. The first 12-inch wafer fab is under construction and will be delivered before the end of the year."
Mr. Hu was shocked: "..."
I never thought that Wang Yi not only makes mobile phones, but also makes chips!
That’s awesome!
"I admire Mr. Hu very much, so I came to California specifically to invite Mr. Hu to join Xingyi Semiconductor as the president and chief technical director of Xingyi Semiconductor!"
"As long as you join, you have the final say on how Xingyi Semiconductor develops! I will give you absolute freedom! Of course, all the benefits will be in accordance with the high standards of the industry, and there will also be certain stock options!"
For such a big boss, Wang Yi has to give away shares!
Mr. Hu was silent: "..."
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.
He never imagined that Wang Yi came to him and invited him to join Xingyi Semiconductor!
Mr. Hu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Dr. Wang, are you serious? Do you really want to make semiconductors? Do you know that the water in the wafer fab is too deep? The investment in any 12-inch wafer fab will be 20 billion!"
Wang Yi nodded: "I know that more than 10 billion in special funds have been prepared to purchase lithography machines and other equipment. I will reduce my holdings in BYD's shares and cash out several billion more as follow-up funds.
We ensure that the 12-inch wafer fab will be delivered this year, the equipment will be available early next year, and production will begin in the middle of the year or in the second half of the year!"
If Mr. Hu hadn't joined, Wang Yi could not be in a hurry and slowly invest in the equipment of the wafer factory, which cost 20 billion.
But with the addition of a master like Mr. Hu, not to mention the 55nm process, even the 45nm process can be easily handled.
Mr. Hu is studying the direction within 20 nanometers, 40 nanometers, and 28 nanometers, which are all dimensionality reduction attacks.
For example, when Mr. Liang joined Samsung, in just three or four years, Samsung achieved a breakthrough from 45nm process to 14nm process, leading TSMC and taking away all major orders from Apple.
The strength of this kind of technical master is so terrifying.
As Mr. Liang's master, Mr. Hu is stronger and has hope of completing 16 nanometers in three years, let alone 28 nanometers.
As a result, all equipment such as photolithography machines and etching machines must be installed as soon as possible, otherwise the start of production will be delayed.
20 billion has to be invested within one year. The financial pressure is too great, and BYD can't do anything without reducing its holdings.
"Director Wang, have you really prepared 20 billion? This...this..." Mr. Hu was very surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wang Yi can't do it without exposing these things. Without these capital, Mr. Hu will not decisively join Xingyi Semiconductor.
Only when he sees enough strength will Mr. Hu be tempted.
Sure enough, the expression on Mr. Hu's face changed again and again: "Dr. Wang, are you serious?"
"Of course! Whether it is Meiyou's clothing and cosmetics business, or the later pillar industry of Xingyi mobile phones, and future semiconductors, they are the core industries of Xingyi Technology."
"But this road is not easy to walk, and it will cost a lot of money!" Mr. Hu said solemnly.
Wang Yi nodded: "I know that this road is difficult to walk, very difficult, but someone has to walk. If I don't do high-end semiconductors, who will do it? If you can't break through, you can only rely on external forces everywhere and be constantly beaten. Stuck in the neck, sanctioned.”
"Yes, what you said makes sense." Mr. Hu was shocked and saw Wang Yi's determination.
