"That couldn't be better!"

Wang Yi knows how fast Xia Guo's infrastructure construction is.

Building a small 12-inch wafer fab with a monthly output of 25,000 wafers requires an investment of 13 billion yuan.

It takes two years for Europe and the United States, but one year for Xia Guo.

If we add strategic projects, work day and night, and carry out construction from multiple parties, it may be completed in half a year.

Now the second and third phases are being advanced simultaneously, and it is estimated that they will be delivered in about half a year, the equipment will be available in April next year, and full production will be in May or June!

After all, the 40nm process is mature and is just installation and debugging.

However, the construction speed of the second wafer fab will be slower, taking about a year.

After all, the second wafer fab is two factories with a monthly production capacity of 50,000 pieces, and the construction period is naturally double that of two factories with a monthly production capacity of 25,000 pieces.

But it doesn’t matter, the 28nm process is not that easy. When Kunpeng 901 and 902 are successfully developed, tape-out and mass production will have to rely on TSMC.

As for the Xingyi wafer fab, it can only produce 40 nanometers in the early stage. It is also promoting the mid-range 40 nanometer process and cannot even do 32 nanometers, thereby reducing the fear of the US emperor!

The U.S. emperor mistakenly thought that Xingyi Semiconductor was stuck in the 40nm process and was unable to break through the 40nm process, and could not even do 32nm. However, Xingyi Semiconductor quietly managed to achieve 28nm!

At that time, it will definitely give the US emperor a big surprise.

Once 28nm is produced domestically, there will be no crisis in the next few years.

After all, the 28nm process is enough to make many chips.

What is needed now is to paralyze the enemy and keep a low profile.

Therefore, after the Kunpeng 901 and 902 are successfully developed, we will turn to TSMC for initial tape-out and mass production.

The outside world feels that Xingyi Semiconductor's technology is limited and will not be able to produce 28 nanometers in a few years, so it has to rely on TSMC for foundry.

In the second half of next year, the second and third phases of the expansion of the Xingyi wafer fab will be fully put into production. The monthly production capacity will increase by 50,000 pieces, and the annual output of 40-nanometer chips will reach more than 500 million pieces.

There are more than 300 million pieces for personal use, and there is an additional production capacity of 200 million pieces.

We can mass-produce 40nm Kunpeng 702 and Kunpeng 700 and sell them to the outside world.

By then, after the release of Kunpeng 901 and 902, Kunpeng 702 and 701 will become mid-range chips, which can be sold to the outside world and seize the market of Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 and Nvidia Tegra 3.

There is also Kunpeng 500, which can also be sold externally to grab the market of Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 and Snapdragon 200.

And it’s very competitive!

The simplest ones, Qualcomm's 600, 400, and 200, do not have integrated basebands, and you have to spend extra money to purchase basebands. Then the manufacturer's cost will be high, and the integration technology will be difficult.

This is a disaster for those mobile phone brands that are only good at assembly.

However, Xingyi Technology’s Kunpeng 702, Kunpeng 700, and Kunpeng 500 all integrate baseband SOC chips, which are lower cost, more cost-effective, and less difficult to integrate!

When Wang Yi sets up a technical team to provide a full range of paid chip tuning services to large customers, it will be even harder to sell Qualcomm's mid- to low-end chips!

Of course, MediaTek is even worse.

Xingyi Technology’s flagship chips cannot be sold casually, but sub-flagship and mid-to-low-end chips can wildly grab the market.

With performance comparable to or even surpassing Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 and 600, and at a price similar to that of MediaTek, it is easy to capture half of the mid-to-low-end chip market.

As for Qualcomm and Nvidia, they should go grab the flagship chip market.

Wang Yi accepted the mid- to low-end market with a smile!

After finally mastering the 40nm process, we naturally need to use the 40nm process to produce more chips and make more money.

There is no way, the wafer fab is too expensive. A small fab with a monthly output of 100,000 wafers costs 52 billion yuan.

Among them, land and infrastructure only account for 20%-30%, which is more than 10 billion, and are the responsibility of the imperial capital.

Lithography machines and other equipment account for about 70%-80%, up to 40 billion, all of which Xingyi Technology pays for itself.

There is no way, the more advanced the process, the higher the equipment cost.

If he doesn't make money quickly, Wang Yi won't be able to bear it, let alone subsequent expansion.

This is why the Imperial City strongly welcomes Wang Yi’s expansion of the new fab. The land is its own, and the Imperial City does not have to spend any money. It only needs to spend billions in infrastructure costs in exchange for Wang Yi’s tens of billions of investment. It’s so cool.

.

Even if there are tax incentives in the early stage and tax exemption, you still have to pay money later.

In the previous life, SMIC paid taxes a year, and after subsidy, it still had over a billion.

More importantly, this is a political achievement and an indicator!

The official has arranged indicators for each first-tier city.

But unfortunately, distant water cannot quench near thirst.

The monthly production capacity of the second and third phases of 50,000 will not be put into production until eight months at the earliest.

If you want to increase production capacity as soon as possible, you have to look at SMIC's on-site wafer fab.

Wang Yi looked at Director Qin again: "Director Qin, the matter of SMIC's wafer fab..."

Director Qin smiled kindly: "Mr. Zhao has already gone to the Magic City, and the results are expected to be available soon. In order to increase the chance of winning, why don't you go there too?"

"Should I go too?"

Wang Yi's expression was calm, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

The attitude of the Magic City is a bit high.

When Song Sining went to Shanghai to talk about Xingyi Automobile, the other party had a very high profile.

Although I am willing to introduce him, the treatment I receive can only be said to be average and does not meet expectations at all.

Therefore, the negotiation has not yet been concluded.

Now having Wang Yi go to the Magic City in person is indeed a bit of a sign of catching up.

This kind of investment promotion is just like love. Whoever takes the initiative and rushes in will lose!

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "This is a bit difficult. I have to go back to Jeju. There is a big project there."

"Oh? Are there any other big projects?"

Director Qin became interested. What big move did this guy make in Jeju?

"Director Qin, you have forgotten that the first phase of our Xingyi Cloud Data Center was delivered before. After a period of equipment installation and debugging, it will be officially put into use. I have to go back and preside over the putting into operation of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center!"

"Yes, this is a big project and this is important!"

Director Qin's eyes lit up, and he was even a little envious.

That is the Xingyi Cloud Data Center with 100,000 servers after it is fully completed. There is no such large data center in the imperial capital.

Moreover, Jeju has also given another piece of land of the same size. If Xingyi Technology has the money, it can build another one, which will then have 200,000 servers.

If it weren't for the high electricity bills and tight water and electricity supply in the Imperial Capital, Director Qin would have wanted Wang Yi to locate the data center in the Imperial Capital!

But this is not realistic.

After communicating with Director Qin about the expansion of the second and third phases of the Imperial Capital Wafer Factory 1, Wang Yi left the management committee directly.

Wang Yi doesn't need to worry about the rest.

The Imperial Capital Management Committee will naturally take care of everything until the factory is completed and handed over to Wang Yi.

Similarly, the constraint requires Wang Yi to introduce a production line and put it into full production within one year. Otherwise, Wang Yi will have to pay the full 5.2 billion in hardware construction costs and land costs.

This is all harmless.

Now Wang Yi is worried that the wafer fab is not enough, so he will not leave the wafer fab unused.

The next day, Wang Yi set off again and headed straight to Jeju.

Prepare to attend the official opening ceremony of Xingyi Cloud Data Center!

Mr. Zhao, who was far away in the city, met a leader of the city:

"Lao Zhou, I have a big gift for you, and I didn't even say anything to Lao Xu."

"Big gift? You?" Mr. Zhou looked at Mr. Zhao with a suspicious look on his face: "Are you so kind?"

"Of course, you know what I, Old Zhao, am like."

"Haha, I don't believe it! In what way?"

"Chip production process!"

"Memory chip?"

"Logic chip!"

"55 nanometers?" Mr. Zhou picked up the tea cup, blew on the floating tea leaves, and took a sip.

It’s just a 55nm logic chip process, it’s not scarce, and SMIC can make it too.

"Of course not, who are you looking down on? 40 nanometers!"

"Pfft!" Mr. Zhou shouted directly: "What did you say? Mass production of 40-nanometer logic chips?"
