Chapter 289: The Help of the Godfather of Semiconductors!!

"Who?"

Li Mingxuan asked curiously.

"Zhang Rujing!"

Ni Guangnan said.

Hearing this, Li Mingxuan revealed a sudden realization.

Because this man is so famous in the future life.

Zhang Rujing is known as the godfather of semiconductors, and he started three businesses only for the purpose of growing flowers.

He can be said to have single-handedly laid the foundation for growing flower chips.

He graduated from Baodao University first, and then worked for Texas Instruments for 20 years before returning to Baodao in 1990 as the general manager of Shida Semiconductor, and has been developing it into the third largest semiconductor company in Baodao.

After being acquired by TSMC, his desire to build a semiconductor factory in the flower grower was broken, so he comfortably brought more than 300 talents from Baodao and more than 100 talents from the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea to the magic capital and established SMIC, however, because SMIC formed a direct competition relationship with TSMC in its establishment, and a large number of talents returned and the process flow was similar to TSMC in the early stage of entrepreneurship, so the two sides were forced to leave SMIC after two lawsuits.

For more than a decade since, Zhang Rujing has been licking bricks and tiles for the chip manufacturing of flower growers.

Li Mingxuan did not expect that Ni Guangnan knew Zhang Rujing.

The next day, Li Mingxuan followed Ni Guangnan by plane to SMIC's headquarters in Zhangjiang Industrial Park in the magic capital.

Zhang Rujing attached great importance to Ni Guangnan's arrival, not to mention a vice president of Jinxiu Group.

The three of them talked freely in SMIC's general manager's office for a long time.

When Zhang Rujing heard Ni Guangnan say that Jinxiu Group also began to lay out the chip industry, he was surprised and very happy at the same time.

Because he has always believed that the chip industry of flower growers should go and the vertical integration model of ID.

The so-called IDM is an integrated model of chip design, process research and development, production, packaging, testing and sales under the investment of large-scale enterprises.

Such as Texas Instruments, the future stick country Samsung and so on.

But to follow the vertical integration model of IDM requires too much investment, which is unaffordable for many enterprises at this stage.

Therefore, Zhang Rujing once pinned on the CIDM model of flower growers to cooperate with integrated circuit manufacturing.

The model of cooperation and funding by 10-15 enterprises to achieve win-win cooperation.

However, Zhang Rujing did not expect that since Jinxiu Group was suddenly ready to get chips, and with the strength of this company, it was completely possible to abandon the CIDM model and directly enter the vertical integration mode of IDM.

Listening to Ni Guangnan, Jinxiu Microelectronics Company is ready to enter the step of fab construction, Zhang Rujing immediately said that he could give support.

He can sell SMIC's two 8-inch wafer production lines in Mordor to Jinxiu.

It also promised to send some technicians to help train Fairview in the manufacturing process.

"Of course, Mr. Li, these two productions are all second-hand, and the price is not low ~~!"

Zhang Rujing said that hearing this, Li Mingxuan didn't care about the second hand, but was very curious about why he helped Jinxiu, knowing that once Jinxiu microelectronic semiconductors rose.

SMIC is simply creating competitors for itself.

But Zhang Rujing said with a smile: "In fact, this is just a little selfish heart of mine, I think Fairview Group is likely to do what I can't do, and if there is a problem on SMIC's side in the future, maybe I will have to join Mr. Li!" "

"Is it because of TSMC?"

Ni Guangnan on the side hurriedly asked.

Only then did Li Mingxuan remember that Zhang Rujing was now in trouble.

Last year, TSMC filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of California in the beautiful country, suing SMIC for patent infringement and trade secret theft.

You must know that Zhang Rujing, the world's largest semiconductor, was forced away by TSMC.

Later, at SMIC, he was also forced away by TSMC.

It can be said that TSMC spared no effort in order to suppress Zhang Rujing.

If there had been no TSMC's prosecution, the chips of future generations of flower growers would at least not be so difficult.

SMIC, led by Zhang Rujing, may have long become the world's chip giant.

Hearing Ni Guangnan's words, Zhang Rujing showed a bitter smile.

Li Mingxuan couldn't do anything about SMIC's predicament, because the company was not the only founder of Zhang Rujing.

Many of these founders followed him to grow flowers with the intention of making money.

And going public on the US stock market is what they want to do most.

So, Li Mingxuan bought two second-hand 8-inch production lines from SMIC for $350 million.

The price is not low.

But compared to the billions of dollars of investment in later generations, it is much cheaper at this time.

At such a price, Zhang Rujing can easily persuade SMIC's shareholders to sell the second-hand production line on the grounds of replacing it with a new one.

In addition, Zhang Rujing also promised to help Jinxiu Microelectronics establish a dust-free workshop, train employees and so on.

In short, this trip to the magic capital, Li Mingxuan returned with a full load because of the help of Ni Guangnan and Zhang Rujing.

Next, he needs to recruit talent and research teams.

Therefore, Li Mingxuan found the Imperial Capital Institute of Microelectronics through Wang Anning's relationship, which is 772.

Hired more than 100 people with heavy money and then recruited a part of integrated circuit design talents in Huaqing.

Splendid Microelectronics Company formed the initial team.

However, building a fab is not just about having equipment and personnel, but also about building a plant.

Especially dust-free workshop establishment.

So when Fairview Microelectronics can produce the first wafer, it will be at least a few months away.

Fortunately, the state attached great importance to Li Mingxuan's investment in the fab, and the leadership instructed the imperial capital government to immediately grant him 3,000 acres of land near Daxing District for the construction of the fab.

And Li Mingxuan then handed over all this to the more professional Ni Guangnan to be responsible.

The factory building is built by Splendid China SOHO according to the requirements.

Don't look at Ni Yuan's sixteen years old, but his mental head is particularly good.

After coming to Fairview Microelectronics Company, it was like changing my hair every day and was full of energy.

However, soon Academician Ni Guangnan joined Jinxiu Microelectronics Company, and was stabbed in the newspaper.

At this time, Yanagi, who was in talks with IBM to acquire the PC business, smiled disdainfully when he saw the newspaper.

In his opinion, even if Ni Guangnan finds the Jinxiu Group to do the big deal, it is useless to invest in the chip industry.

Because the pattern of chips has been divided.

The United States, Japan and South Korea are the three major streams of chips, and even if flower growers rise up to study, it is difficult to catch up because of the problem of patent barriers.

However, the surname Liu does not understand that there is a technique called corner overtaking in this world.

I also don't understand that the rabbit of the flower grower likes to make the impossible possible.

Atomic bombs are like this, missiles, rockets are made like this.

Although Li Mingxuan, a scumbag, does not know much about chip manufacturing, professional matters are left to professional people.

And his Lord needs to be responsible for throwing large sums of money.
