368 Chapter 360: Asking for Help (2)

"How big is the TFT-LCD market? How does it compare to your LED market?"

The defense officially entered the second stage.

"Its market will be 10 times that of LED!"

"Remember that you said that the market size of LEDs is hundreds of billions of dollars. Is the market for LCDs trillions?"

The people in the room are skeptical of this number.Trillions or dollars?

What is the total GDP of the country at this time?What is the total GDP of the world?

Isn’t the bragging tax now charged?

"The two markets are a bit different. The LCD market is much larger in the early stage than LEDs, but the stamina of LEDs is relatively sufficient. But in general, the LCD market is still much larger than LEDs.

Thirty years later, the LCD market may not reach trillions or hundreds of billions of dollars. There is absolutely no problem."

There is also a question of statistical caliber.The market scale of LED includes LED applications.Large LED screens are counted as part of the total market size of LEDs.

If you count laptops and mobile phones as LCD applications, trillions of dollars are no problem.

"Well, it's the future numbers anyway. You can say as much as you like. But if this project is completed, how much sales and profits will it add to your company?"

Lin Shuqiang has given up arguing.Discussing market expectations decades later, no one will be the opponent of this young man.

Still young people dare to blow!

Hundreds of billions of dollars in open mouth, trillions of dollars in closed mouth!

"If everything is normal, we hope to achieve annual sales of 15 billion yuan and profits of 6 billion yuan in five years."

The teachers and students of the University of Technology have not experienced the baptism of the PPT tide.

As soon as these numbers came out, the audience's expressions were no longer shocking to describe.

The market figures decades later, everyone is just listening to the excitement.The figures in five years are visible and tangible.

This figure has approached the total GDP of Bingcheng.There may not be 10 billion in funding for higher education across the country.

It has gone far beyond the scope of normal people's thinking, and fantasy may be a suitable adjective.

But this number is actually valid.

It is calculated based on Sharp LCD’s operating data in the 1990s.Sharp's annual turnover in 1998 was US$1.57 billion.Sharp is just one of nine LCD manufacturers in Japan.

This also illustrates the true strength of these Japanese electronics giants from the side.The country is rich and enemy is the best adjective for them.

"Okay. I have no problems."

Lin Shuqiang was said to have lost his temper by astronomical figures.What is incomprehensible does not need to be understood.

"I heard you need support? What kind of help do you need now?"

This was the headmaster's question, and the meeting finally came to the fore.

"The first one, lack of money!"

The answer was very fast.Optoelectronics and LED companies have embarked on the path of loan expansion.Money is always better.

"You are still short of money? Your monthly profit is millions, right!"

Principal Lin asked again.The popularity of large LED screens is almost universally known.Due to capacity constraints, the order has been scheduled for half a year.

"This month's net profit is almost 4 million. But we spend more!"

Two new factories are under construction.This kind of semiconductor-level plant is actually burning money.Especially when the plant construction is based on LCD as the ultimate goal.

Although the construction of the plant is built under the name of the LED company, in the end, whether the LED company has the opportunity to use it is not certain.

Moreover, as the triangle debt becomes more and more serious, it is not easy to continue to defraud loans.

"How much do you need? The school will see how to figure it out."

Principal Yang felt that if the number was not big, he could help.After all, the development momentum of optoelectronics is very good.This is the same as bank loans. The better a company's qualifications, the easier it is to get loans.

"One hundred million dollars, is there?"

It was an astronomical figure, and it was reported immediately.

"What's the next difficulty?"

There is no need to talk about the powerless things.

————————

"This LCD project is different from any previous projects, and also different from LEDs. We need comprehensive support."

"Tell me!"

The LCD project is actually very close to the wafer project. Regardless of the amount of investment and the length of the industry chain, it can be compared one to one.

The construction cost of the first generation line is about 100 million to 200 million US dollars.In the international arena, a most advanced 8-inch wafer line can be built at a cost of $150 million.

In later generations, when the construction cost of the 12-inch wafer fab rose to the level of 3 billion US dollars, the construction cost of the LCD production line also rose to the level of 4 billion US dollars!

If the LCD project is to succeed, it must advance in four aspects.

The first is the research and development of the core technology of LCD.Cheng Yongxing took the LCD core team and used information from later generations to maintain this work.

The second is the development of LCD-related equipment.Currently in the construction period of the first generation of TFT-LCD, manufacturers and equipment manufacturers all over the world are actually advancing in exploration.

Some key equipment, such as PECVD, lithography machine, etc., are carried out by several photoelectric-related equipment companies.

Others require outsourcing.

The third is LCD production line construction.

This work is currently being carried out by Wang Qingshan with people.

This institution needs more power to supplement it.LCD projects are completely different from LEDs.

The construction of the production line includes civil construction, equipment approach, and process design.Without a team of 4,50 people, this command can't be played.

The fourth is the full-color engineering headquarters.(The original project No. 0 has been renamed)

This headquarters not only includes the function of production line construction, but also includes the organization and research of raw materials, coordination of related equipment, and outsourcing.

Although the photoelectric equipment has been built up, they can only solve the design work of some core equipment.Most of other equipment needs to be customized and outsourced.

These outsourced equipment also need to invest manpower and material resources to design the relevant technical parameters one by one and negotiate with the manufacturers.The same is true for future acceptance.

In addition to production line equipment, production line construction and construction, various raw materials required for LCD production, such as polarizers, light guide plates, etc., have also come to organize the supply of goods.After the production line is built, let's finally go to the pot without rice.

Since everything is the first time, the manpower and material resources needed can be imagined.

I heard that such a huge plan came out.The room was silent for a long time.

If there are any similar examples that can be compared horizontally, they are the 531, 908, and 909 projects in the semiconductor industry, which are of the same level!

This is totally a national level project!

How do you say this plan?I am afraid that with all the strength of the University of Technology, it will be difficult to complete.

The University of Technology has participated in many major national engineering projects, but has no experience in leading such a large project.

But the benefits behind this plan are so moving.

If Cheng Yongxing puts out this plan first, someone will believe the figure of 15 billion in sales revenue and 6 billion in profit.

The project is so large that it is not just economic benefits.

Project 908, 909, can you organize it if you want?

The success and failure of these two projects, even after 30 years, are there still few verbal criticisms on them?

————————

"According to your statement, this is simply an impossible task!"

Professor Xi reacted first.

If Cheng Yongxing hadn't come forward, everyone could only take it as a joke.This discolored glass panel actually hides this big plan.

"Why do you say that?"

"The first question is the amount of investment. Your current capital simply cannot support such a large project."

At this time, everyone understood why Cheng Yongxing dared to ask for 100 million U.S. dollars.

LED company, in 1992, expected a profit of 150 million yuan a year, just now everyone took it as an astronomical figure.But in the LCD project, if the development of various upstream raw materials and equipment development investment are added, this little money is simply not enough.

The funding gap here is to no avail just to sell the Gongda.

"The second one is time! Your plan is to start production in the middle of next year. What months is it now? It's September now!"

You may not have LCD experience, but everyone knows the construction cycle of wafer production lines.Especially before this meeting, some research work was done more or less.

In the 908 project, the construction cycle of the fab was established according to a three-year plan.

LCD production line, no matter how fast it is, it is always necessary for more than a year.

There is no possibility of completion of this project!
