Xu Zhenming's idea is beautiful, but the reality is a bit reversed.Director Jin of the Magic City Economic Zone is very interested in Yiming Group's stake in SMIC.
"Xu Dong, how about let's visit SMIC first? This project is a national key project, and your group company is an authoritative enterprise in chip manufacturing, so it happens to give us some valuable suggestions."
After the personnel from both sides converged, Director Jin smiled and discussed with Xu Zhenming.
This man is in his forties, is of medium stature, wears a pair of glasses, and is very bookish. It is said that he was a college teacher before.
Xu Zhenming had no choice but to welcome the guests as they pleased.
"Director Jin. In which zone do you plan to land our project?" Xu Zhenming asked tentatively on the way to SMIC.
Seeing that Director Jin's enthusiasm was not high, he had already retreated in his heart.If the project in the city of Magic City does not go smoothly, Xu Zhenming is ready to settle the two-billion-dollar project in Suning City or Gusu City.Yiming Group has developed to its scale today, so you can't use a hot face to hold cold farts, right?
In fact, the situation is not optimistic.
"Pudong is undergoing major development and a new high-tech industrial park has been planned. The project of your group belongs to the silicon wafer industry and the electronics manufacturing industry. We plan to land the project in the high-tech industrial park."
Director Jin introduced slowly.
He told Xu Zhenming that the high-tech industrial parks are all world-renowned electronic companies.
For example, companies such as ARM, Alcatel, Canon, and Sanxin Electronics.The factories of these companies are engaged in chip design, manufacturing, and silicon wafer manufacturing.In this way, the project of Yiming Group Corporation does not seem very important.
Because of the emergence of Yiming Group in this time and space, well-known foreign companies have paid special attention to the Chinese market, and have established their presence in the mainland.As the largest city and the most economically developed city in China, Magic City has no shortage of investment projects.
After hearing these words, Xu Zhenming's interest was even lower, and he had already made plans to leave the place."Their development zone doesn't value our projects, so they still invest in wool?" He decided to let Hu Chunmei take the lead and talk casually with Director Jin's team, and then terminate this trip to the magic city.
While talking, a group of people came to Pudong's High-tech Park Phase I Industrial Development Zone.
Sure enough, many foreign companies have settled in the park. Rows of brand-new blue and white steel-structured factory buildings have been erected on the ground, surrounded by a large courtyard.The compound of SMIC was the first to be built, covering an area of no less than 300 acres.
The special car of Xu Zhenming and others drove into the compound and saw a group of people waiting under the office building of the compound.These people are the management team of SMIC, led by the leader named Ding Chun.
Ding Chun is in his fifties, slightly fat, and speaks Jiang Ning."Welcome Director Jin to come and guide, welcome Xu Dong to visit." He smiled and greeted him in front of Director Jin's car, with a very warm attitude.
"Xu Dong, we Ding are always the old factory director of No 19 Factory and an old expert in semiconductor and chip manufacturing." Director Jin shook hands with Ding Chun while introducing this person to Xu Zhenming.
It is said that the No. 19 Factory was a star enterprise in the 1970s. Half of the domestic electronic components such as transistor components and integrated circuits were produced by this factory.The production line in the factory is a second-hand 2-inch silicon wafer production line imported from abroad, which was not much different from international technology at the time.
This factory was prosperous during the planned economy. Orders had to be queued up and delivery had to be queued.If you want to jump in to buy electronic components, you have to write the approval note from the leader.
It is such a profitable enterprise that has failed to develop, and it has to be thought-provoking.
With the introduction of NEC's second-hand 3-inch wafer production line in the Wuxi 742 factory, the predecessor of Huajing Chip Company, the state-owned old-brand chip manufacturing factory called "Nanba Shangwu 19 Factory" has completely declined.
"Our factory has missed a good opportunity for the development of chip manufacturing, and is now struggling to catch up, hoping to get Xu Dong's valuable advice." When it was Ding Chun's turn to shake hands with Xu Zhenming, he smiled very modestly and politely.
But Xu Zhenming didn’t think highly of this person. “Ding Chun should not understand business. It should be good to engage in reception and public relations.” With this thought in mind, he smiled casually and said perfunctorily, “Ding Chun, we are Bring your eyes and ears to visit and learn."
Seeing that Xu Zhenming's enthusiasm was not high, Ding Chun didn't take it seriously.
The key person he will receive today is Director Jin, and he must serve Director Jin well."Director Jin, it's almost lunch now. Let's go to the cafeteria for dinner first. I have already arranged it. Hehe..." Ding Chun enthusiastically asked Director Jin.
But Director Jin shook his head, "Old Ding, let's go and see the dust-free workshop first. How is the decoration in the factory going?"
"Very good! With expert guidance from the island NEC, all progress can be kept up. Director, according to the regulations, we should pay NEC the second progress payment."
"Um...I see." Director Jin did not directly respond to Ding Chun's request after hearing this.
The Management Committee of the Economic Development Zone has invested more than 500 million yuan for SMIC and has yet to see the benefits. It has long been a little worried about this 8-inch silicon wafer project.
These investments are all bank loans and interest is paid. What if the project is unsuccessful?This is one of the reasons why he called Xu Zhenming to visit.
Seeing that the big benefactor didn't say a word, Ding Chun could only smile awkwardly.The company is not his, and the account is empty, what can he do?
"It's just... what should I do when I meet NEC's Miyamoto Bridge later?" Ding Chun was worried about this.
If things go well, he can send his daughter to an island country to study.If this matter turns into a misfortune, my daughter's opportunity to study abroad will be ruined.For this reason, Ding Chun deliberately led Director Jin, Xu Zhenming and others, and walked directly towards the clean room.
This dust-free workshop has a very large plant, about 40,000 square meters, more than enough to install an 8-inch silicon wafer production line.The plant has been completed, the workers outside the plant are installing the air conditioning system, and the workers inside the plant are doing interior decoration.
"Mitsubishi! They use the Mitsubishi central air-conditioning system, which is a bit extravagant." Seeing the trademark of the air-conditioning system outside the factory, Xu Zhenming couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
From this point of view, the construction team of SMIC’s new project is nothing but food, and I don’t know how to save project investment.Yiming Group invests in so many projects, basically it chooses domestic brand equipment and completes it by itself.
Through this incident, Xu Zhenming knew why SMIC would sell it, and the last boss was Zhang Neojin.
In another time and space, the profitability of this factory's investment in the future is very bad, and it has been losing money for many years.The main product, silicon wafer rods, has no domestic market and basically exports to island countries.
NEC in the island country buys the silicon wafer rods, remelts and purifies them, and sells them all over the world.Therefore, it is clear that the SMIC chip can export foreign exchange, but it is actually at a loss.
Until later, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Mo City couldn't help it and sold the factory to Zhang Nyjin.Zhang Neo-kind therefore changed the name of SMIC to Sinochip International and turned losses into profits that year, and the benefits were very good.
Thinking of these stories, Xu Zhenming's eyes couldn't help but feel the taste of scrutiny.
"Workers are old, have a bad working attitude, and are a little lax. Some people are still working on foreigners. How can this work?" Xu Zhenming found many problems on the spot as soon as he was serious.
"Mr Ding, according to our contract, you should pay the remittance of the production line to our company. Otherwise, the progress of the equipment installation will be affected."
At this time, a short old man in his 50s walked up to Ding Chun and bowed to him.
This person wears a red helmet, a long face, and looks very delicate and has extraordinary temperament.
His name is Miyamoto Bridge, and he is the chief engineer sent by NEC Corporation in the island nation.When speaking and saluting, the person's gaze was more flexible, sweeping the faces of Director Jin and Xu Zhenming and the others.
Ding Chun waited for Miyamoto Bridge's words to put pressure on Director Jin.Ever since, he smiled bitterly at Director Jin: "Director Jin, look..."
Director Jin is in a bad mood, and he didn't expect to meet customers who drew money here.
"Well, this... we'll discuss this in the afternoon. It's not convenient to have guests here now." He winked at Ding Chun and used Xu Zhenming's reason for visiting.
In accordance with the spirit of the meeting of the management committee of the Modu Development Zone, it was decided that the payment of more than 400 million yuan could not be paid temporarily.He also couldn't reply on the spot.
Director Jin told Ding Chun with his eyes to let him send Miyamoto Bridge away, and then took himself and Xu Zhenming to visit the layout of the clean room.
But Miyamoto Bridge did not agree with Ding Chun's actions.
"President Ding, as agreed in our cooperation agreement. This 8-inch silicon wafer production line cannot be visited by guests casually." He told Ding Chun with a serious expression that Director Jin and Xu Zhenming and his party had to go through the registration procedures to get there. Visit the workshop.
Xu Zhenming doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at the situation in this clean room.
But Director Jin was very upset."Their NEC company's request is a bit excessive. According to the cooperation agreement, our cooperation will only be officially started when their equipment arrives." Director Jin said with a sullen expression to Ding Chun, and asked Ding Chun to give this person The old man of the island country put pressure on it.
"This...this. Director, there is such a cooperation agreement between our company and NEC." Ding Chun was embarrassed and pulled Director Jin aside and whispered.
"You?" Director Jin was in a bad mood and glared at him.
Director Jin lowered his voice and told Ding Chun that Xu Zhenming must be allowed in for a visit today.
"This is a political and administrative task that must be completed." Director Jin warned Ding Chun not to affect the work of attracting investment.Perhaps, Yiming Group will replace the island NEC company to invest, and the reception must be done well.
Hearing this, Ding Chun's heart sighed, "How can this work? It will disrupt my daughter's study abroad plan!"
But the task of leadership is like a mountain, and he can't violate it.After hesitating for a long time, he called Miyamoto Bridge aside, and negotiated for a long time to resolve this kind of visit.
"Hello, the layout of the clean room can be opened to you, but you can't take pictures or photography." Before entering the door of the clean room, Miyamoto Bridge came to Director Jin to salute.
After wasting such a long time, Xu Zhenming had long lost patience.He looked at his watch and found that it was almost time for dinner."Director Jin, it's late, we should go to lunch. Let's not look at this clean workshop." He smiled at Director Jin and suggested.
Xu Zhenming told Director Jin that the design of this dust-free workshop was unreasonable. In fact, you don't need to visit it.
"Eh?" Director Jin was surprised when he heard this, staring at Xu Zhenming with his eyes wide open.He did not expect Xu Zhenming to comment on SMIC's new projects in this way.This project is his main focus, if something goes wrong, he will be particularly responsible.
Ding Chun and Miyamoto Bridge were also very shocked at this time, and they didn't understand why Xu Zhenming said that.
"Xu Dong, our workshop was designed by NEC, so why is it unreasonable?" Ding Chun looked at Xu Zhenming in amazement, with an unpleasant expression on his face.
Miyamoto Bridge was full of anger and looked at Xu Zhenming with unfriendly eyes, "Xu Dong, you must explain clearly. Why is the factory designed by our company unreasonable?"
"Hahaha. Don't you know it? This workshop is used to install two 6-inch silicon wafer production lines. Now installing an 8-inch silicon wafer production line, is there any waste?"
Xu Zhenming looked at Miyamoto Bridge and smiled faintly.He didn't want to offend this person, so he just handled it.But the little old man in front of him was too arrogant, so he clicked this person.
Speaking of this type of factory building and layout, Yiming Group has already built many factory buildings, why do you need to visit it?
"You...don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! The factory design drawings of this plant are specially designed for our company's 8-inch silicon wafer production line."
At this time, Miyamoto Bridge was stunned for a moment, then his face blushed in defense for an instant.
He doesn't know Xu Zhenming, thinks Xu Zhenming is a layman, and is ready to fool Xu Zhenming.
But Xu Zhenming really didn't want to nag this person, and felt that this trip to Magic City was a bit of a failure.Thinking of this, he was going to shake hands with Director Jin to say goodbye, go to a nearby restaurant to have a casual meal, and then return to Nan'an.
"Which way? Now it's time for dinner, Xu Dong, you have to have a working meal, we still have business to discuss this afternoon."
"Xu Dong, although the food in the cafeteria of our factory is almost too good, you must give face."
I heard that Xu Zhenming wanted to settle the lunch by himself. How could Director Jin and Ding Chun agree?The two of them have been holding Xu Zhenming's arm, with a very warm attitude.
At this kind of moment, Xu Zhenming had to know how to promote, otherwise he would be scolded by others pointing at the backbone.Ever since, he led the team members and walked towards the cafeteria behind Director Jin and Ding Chun.
"Xu Zhenming, Xu Dong. What's the identity of this person?" Seeing Xu Zhenming's leaving figure, Miyamoto Bridge narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself with cold eyes.
As the person involved, he naturally knew that Xu Zhenming was very reasonable.However, in order to sell the two extra clean room equipment in its hands, NEC is preparing to pit SMIC.
Now that the lie is exposed, why doesn't Miyamoto Bridge panic?
He quickly picked up the phone and reported the situation to the boss of the island headquarters.
"Class leader, a Chinese boss named Xu Zhenming came to visit and found that the factory we designed was unreasonable."
After the call was connected, Miyamoto Hashi hurriedly reported the situation.
