Chapter 103 New track, Boss Wang is completely exposed(1/3)
The semiconductor industry is very complex, with too many upstream and downstream industry chains.
Fortunately, except for photolithography machines, other industrial chains do not have such high technical barriers, and domestic companies can break through them.
The real bottleneck is the photolithography machine!
In 2011, the world's mainstream lithography machine was still the fifth generation lithography machine, ArFi (immersion lithography machine).
The mainstream chips are still 32nm and 45nm.
The yet-to-be-released Xiaomi generation uses Qualcomm 45nm, which causes severe fever.
In China, we are in the process of developing the fourth-generation lithography machine ArF.
In fact, Modu Microelectronics built a fourth-generation photolithography machine prototype in 2007.
However, some components are blocked and embargoed by the West and cannot be mass-produced, nor can they be produced domestically.
It was not until nine years later, in 2016, that domestic components made a comprehensive breakthrough, and mass production of the fourth-generation photolithography machine was achieved!
Also in this year, ASML mass-produced the sixth-generation lithography machine - EUV lithography machine.
If the government had vigorously developed the upstream and downstream industrial chain of lithography machines in 2011, the fourth generation lithography machines might have been mass-produced a few years ahead of schedule.
The fifth-generation lithography machine is also expected to be released many years in advance!
The fifth-generation lithography machine is extremely advanced and can produce 7nm chips, which is enough to meet the needs of the next ten years or so.
If mass production is really achieved, it will be coupled with SMIC's chip manufacturing process.
Wang Yi made mobile phones. After a few years, he became stronger. He developed and designed a chip, and then let SMIC manufacture it.
There is no need to worry about things like Huawei being stuck.
Wang Yi made up his mind to make Meiyou bigger and stronger, increase the weight of his voice, and lobby the presidents and academicians of Beihang University, China University of Science and Technology and other famous universities to jointly propose!
Meiyou’s revenue of 100 million is not enough, so it will have revenue of 1 billion!
One billion in revenue is not enough, then tens of billions in revenue!
Wang Yi also knows that this road is not easy to walk, but there are always people who have to work hard and try!
Otherwise, no one will be innocent on the day when they are blocked and restricted.
If it succeeds, Wang Yi will also invest some funds and make some contributions.
Of course, you won’t spend all your money on lithography machines.
It does provide a lot of valuable advice.
As a reborn person, Wang Yi doesn't know much about lithography machine technology, but he has watched a lot of news.
Know the development direction of the next generation of lithography machines, which is EUV lithography machines!
If you know ASML’s EUV lithography machine, you will be able to succeed in five years!
We know that Modu Microelectronics, Zhongke Optoelectronics Institute, and Jichun Institute of Optics and Mechanics are the key to solving the fourth and fifth generation domestic lithography machines!
This information can help the research and development of domestic lithography machines avoid many detours!
We also know that in order to suppress Neon Semiconductor, Europe and the United States are fully supporting ASML to become the overlord of lithography machines.
Neon Semiconductor was suppressed and declined completely, and finally gave up the high-end market completely.
Under this situation, if enough profits are made, Neon Country's photolithography giants Nikon and Canon may not reveal some key core technologies.
After all, they are all going to be killed. It is better to keep the technology and exchange it for money. It can also disgust Europe and the United States, Asimai!
Of course, it’s okay if the other party doesn’t agree.
If there is no impregnable fortress, you can spend money to bribe experts from Nikon, Canon, or even ASML to obtain some core technologies!
There are such things as traitors everywhere!
As long as your brain is active enough, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Of course, Wang Yi couldn't do this himself, he had to find someone with white gloves to do it.
Lithography machines and semiconductors require a nationwide effort and are mainly left to the government. Wang Yi can just make some contribution.
As for mobile phones, Wang Yi plans to leave in person in a few months!
Reborn in 2011, the Internet's popularity has been completely divided. The only thing Wang Yi can grasp is the nascent mobile Internet!
The foundation of the mobile Internet is smartphones! To be precise, they are high-quality and low-priced domestic smartphones.
There are too few smartphone users now. Wang Yi’s current e-commerce business and subsequent mobile games will be limited by the number of smartphone users.
In other words, the current number of smartphone users has limited the upper limit of Wang Yi’s industrial development!
If he wants to break through this point, Wang Yi can only do it himself and make a smartphone!
Only by increasing the number of smartphone users as soon as possible can his Meiyou e-commerce, subsequent mobile games, etc. develop better.
Moreover, in the field of mobile phones, the former eats meat, the latter drinks soup, and the latter can only smell.
For example, Xiaomi entered the industry early and grew rapidly along the way.
Later, 360, Smartisan, LeTV, etc., were a few years late, all suffered serious losses, and ended dismally...
Just to make a mobile phone, you need at least hundreds of millions in start-up capital, and Wang Yi doesn't have that much money now.
However, after Meiyou opened a physical store, its spokesperson became popular, Meiyou became bigger, and made hundreds of millions in half a year, it was not a big problem.
As for Wang Yi not understanding mobile phones, this is also not a problem.
In 2011, domestically produced smartphones had just started. Except for Meizu, which had experience with M8 and M9, other brands did not understand smartphones!
As a reborn person and a digital junkie, Wang Yi knows far more about mobile phones than anyone else in the world.
From as small as which processor will overturn, which screen has problems, to as large as the evolution and development history of smartphones, Wang Yi knows everything clearly.
To put it bluntly, when Xiaomi and OV make mobile phones, it is a closed-book exam and you have to cross the river by feeling for the stones.
When Wang Yi makes a mobile phone, it is an open-book exam!
This is Wang Yi's biggest capital.
Of course, for previous generations of mobile phones, Wang Yi will be like other domestic mobile phones:
Use Qualcomm, Samsung chips, Samsung, Sharp, JDI screens, Sony batteries, Android systems...
I started as a comprador, and when I made money, I simultaneously engaged in research and development, layout, and investment in my own industrial chain.
It would be unrealistic and completely unrealistic to develop and produce everything on our own right from the start.
After a few years, our own strength will become stronger, our own industrial chain will mature, and we will gradually replace imports and transform from comprador to self-research and self-production!
By then, the system and Wang Yi can do it themselves.
For screens and batteries, we use our own investment and acquisition of domestic suppliers.
You can develop and design the processor by yourself. As for mass production, you have to find SMIC as an OEM. It depends on whether the official lithography machine can make a breakthrough!
Wang Yike has no plans to build his own wafer factory or manufacture his own chips. This is too difficult!
It is better to have more funds in the future and invest in supporting the two giants, Modu Microelectronics and SMIC!
In addition, patents must also be accumulated.
Fortunately, if it is sold domestically, the patent problem is not big.
After all, domestically produced mobile phones in the past few years have been selling like crazy. Who pays the patent fees?
Of course, when Wang Yi makes a mobile phone, it won’t be purely assembled!
We will also invest funds in targeted scientific research!
Recruit high-end talents, invest heavily, and develop all the technologies and patents Wang Yi needs in advance to create our own patent barriers!
More importantly, Wang Yi and Meiyou’s many female users serve as the foundation!
Facing female users, Wang Yi’s mobile phone focuses on taking pictures and is the world’s first beauty camera!
For male users, Wang Yi focuses on system tuning. It runs smoothly, generates low heat, and plays games without lag!
Wang Yi comes from a software background, and his biggest advantage is algorithms.
It is also an Android 4.0 system, and Wang Yi can optimize it to be smoother, silkier, with lower power consumption and stronger performance!
With the same set of camera modules, Wang Yi can adjust the photos to look better, even comparable to the iPhone!
These days, the domestic mobile phone cameras are far inferior to the iPhone!
Even a few years later, it can't be compared.
Android's 20 million pixels are not as good as the iPhone's 8 million pixels.
It wasn’t until many years later that Android photography really rose to prominence and even surpassed...
The same is true for the current Android system, which is much worse than iOS.
As an elite programmer who has worked in a large factory, Wang Yi is quite accomplished in algorithms.
The smoothest Android system + the best camera quality + beautification algorithm. With these three core advantages, Wang Yi’s phone will definitely be able to crush other Android phones!
To be continued...
