"Isn't it possible? Even SMIC can't do it!"

"As for our 12-inch wafer fab in Shanghai, the only logic chip fab in the mainland, SMIC can only produce 55-nanometer logic chips."

"We are currently negotiating with IBM to introduce IBM's 45-nanometer process technology. However, IBM is not willing and the price is too high. It wants SMIC to work for them!"

"Made, these foreigners are just greedy!"

"SMIC raised money and borrowed money from everywhere, invested in building factories, and introduced advanced equipment. The total investment exceeded 10 billion, and SMIC Magic City was established. IBM is good. It just wants to come up with some technology and wants to share 30% of the profits. It is really greedy.

!”

"If it's 28nm advanced technology, that's all. It's just 45nm, and it will cost 30% of the profit."

"Made, you are so greedy!" Mr. Zhou became angrier as he spoke.

Mr. Zhao chuckled: "IBM is greedy, so don't use their technology, use our own."

"Our own technology? We have made 45 nanometers?" Mr. Zhou didn't believe it:

"Stop kidding, without IBM's technology, SMIC wouldn't even be able to make 45nm memory chips, let alone logic chips!"

Mr. Zhao waved his hand: "SMIC is not good, but Xingyi Semiconductor is."

"Xingyi Semiconductor? Real or fake?"

"real!"

"They developed a 45nm process?"

"No!"

"Then tell me something!" Lao Zhou was speechless: "I've been so excited for nothing."

Mr. Zhao chuckled: "They didn't make the 45nm process, but they directly made the 40nm process!"

"Holy shit, is it true or not?" Mr. Zhou couldn't calm down anymore and was completely incredulous.

Mr. Zhao didn't say much and handed over a small box: "See for yourself."

Zhou Lao was startled and quickly opened the box, only to see three chips inside, all with X printed on them:

"Are these three chips developed by Xingyi Semiconductor?"

"Did you hear that too?"

Mr. Zhou nodded: "Of course, although it has not been announced to the public, everyone in the industry knows that Xingyi Technology has developed three chips, Kunpeng 702, Kunpeng 700, and Wing Loong 3000 baseband."

"Especially Kunpeng 702 is very powerful and can catch up with Nvidia Tegra 3."

"There is also the Pterosaur 3000 baseband, which is a full Netcom 3G baseband that supports China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom 2G and 3G. It is really amazing!"

Mr. Zhao nodded: "Then do you know where these three chips are taped out?"

"This..." Mr. Zhou was stunned: "I really don't know. It's not like TSMC, Samsung, or Intel. Where is it taped out?"

"Xingyi Wafer Factory!"

"What? Xingyi Wafer Factory has really realized the 40nm process?" Mr. Zhou was completely uneasy.

"certainly."

"My own technology?"

"right!"

"Oh my God." Mr. Zhou stood up directly with a confused look on his face:

"SMIC relies on IBM's technology, but it can only do 45 nanometers. Xingyi Technology relies on its own technology, but it can do 40 nanometers. It's incredible, it's incredible. You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"You want nothing, why should I lie to you?" Mr. Zhao looked disgusted.

"Then...then...what's the yield rate?" Mr. Zhou stuttered a bit.

"The yield rate of tape-out before was 89%. Now it has been officially mass-produced, and it is estimated to be over 90%!"

"What! Self-developed 40nm process, 90% yield rate! I'll be nice."

Mr. Zhou lost his composure at all and even felt it was unrealistic: "Old Zhao, is this all true? You haven't been deceived, have you?"

"Of course it's true!"

Mr. Zhao sighed: "At that time, we went to Xingyi Technology with a team of experts to witness the process of lighting up after the film was returned. It was also that time that a spy came out and sold the information to Qualcomm.

!Fortunately, it was not exposed that Xingyi Wafer Factory has achieved self-production of 40 nanometers, otherwise we would be in big trouble."

"..." Mr. Zhou fell silent.

He sighed for a long time: "So that's it. Xingyi Technology is really low-key and does big things quietly! It has surpassed SMIC quietly!"

"This...this..."

Mr. Zhou's expression was extremely complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What? Not convinced? SMIC, which you Shanghai strongly supports, was overthrown by Xingyi Semiconductor who came out halfway! Hahaha."

"!!!"

Mr. Zhou sighed: "So what if you are not convinced, it is the fact, and it is a good thing! The success of Xingyi Semiconductor is the pride of our Xia country! No, the Magic City has to introduce Xingyi Wafer Factory and build it for them for a month

A very large wafer fab with a production capacity of 100,000 wafers, 12 inches!”

Mr. Zhao couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Do I need you? The imperial capital has already invested in the construction of a second wafer fab with a monthly output of 100,000 wafers. It will be delivered to Xingyi Technology in two phases next year."

Mr. Zhou: "..."

"And the current Xingyi Wafer Factory Didu No. 1 will be expanded three times, and the monthly production capacity will reach 75,000 wafers."

Mr. Zhou: "!!!"

This week, Lao Zhou was no longer calm: "Old Zhao, your imperial capital has been wiped out. There are two large factories at once, with a monthly production capacity of 175,000 pieces. What else can we do?"

"Who can blame this? We can only blame our imperial capital for having a discerning eye and trusting Director Wang. We invested heavily in supporting Xingyi Semiconductor before it even started, and we are where we are today!"

"Alas!" Mr. Zhou sighed, this is incomparable.

Who would have thought that a person who makes mobile phones can also develop chips?

It’s just research and development of chips, but also mass production of chips!

That’s it for mass production chips, they are still 40nm logic chips!

It’s still self-developed technology!

SMIC has been unable to develop technology for so many years, and it is even difficult to introduce technology from foreign companies. Xingyi Technology has quietly developed it on its own.

I can only say it’s incredible, it’s incredible.

Whether it is Wang Yi or Xingyi Technology, they are both monsters!

It's difficult to reason about.

Mr. Zhou’s expression was complicated, and it would be a lie to say he was not envious:

"Old Zhao, you have made a lot of money in the imperial capital this time. What's the point of coming to the magic capital? Are you going to laugh at me in front of me?"

Mr. Zhao waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense. I said I'd give you a big gift, and it's a big gift."

"How do you say this?" Mr. Zhou's face looked a little better.

Zhao Lao said: "Simple. In the second half of next year and the year after that, Xingyi Semiconductor will not be short of 12-inch wafer fabs, but now it is short of 12-inch lines that can be put into production immediately."

"What's the meaning?"

"You think, Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs all use NVIDIA Tegra 3. Now the self-developed and self-produced Kunpeng 702 chip has completely caught up with NVIDIA Tegra 3 and will definitely replace it, right?"

"This is for sure. Once replaced, the cost will inevitably drop."

"Yes, but! Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi TVs, and Xingyi tablets all combined consume 20 to 30 million Kunpeng chips a month. However, the Xingyi wafer fab in the Imperial Capital currently only has one phase, with a monthly production capacity of only 14 million.

Chips are not enough at all. Unless there is another 12-inch wafer fab, which can be delivered directly to Xingyi Technology, the urgent need can be solved."

"This..." Mr. Zhou understood what Mr. Zhao meant: "You mean the 12-inch wafer fab in Shanghai?"

"That's right, among the several 12-inch wafer fabs in the mainland, apart from the Xingyi wafer fab in the Imperial Capital, only your wafer fab in the Imperial Capital has advanced enough equipment to be able to bring the 40-nanometer process online to produce logic chips!"

"If we give it to Xingyi Technology, it will take less than two months to directly launch the 40-nanometer process and mass-produce Kunpeng 702 chips and Kunpeng 700 chips!"

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou was lying if he said he was not moved, but he was a little embarrassed:

"But... that is SMIC's wafer fab, and they are also planning to introduce IBM's 45-nanometer technology..."

"You want me to snatch SMIC's wafer fab and give it to Xingyi Technology? There's no way you can do that!"

Mr. Zhao waved his hand: "Who asked you to rob it? Buy it!"

"How much money did SMIC invest, and how much did Xingyi Technology spend to buy it. You will pay for the infrastructure and land costs, and Xingyi Technology will pay for the saved equipment costs. SMIC will not be treated unfairly."

"This..." Mr. Zhou was still a little hesitant.

"Pedantic!" Mr. Zhao scolded: "SMIC's current technology is poor. Even if it introduces IBM, it is still 45 nanometers. What's the use? Xingyi Technology is already 40 nanometers, and SMIC's 45 nanometers have been put into production, and they are lagging behind. There is no competition at all.

But Xingyi Technology.”

"More importantly, SMIC now has too much debt and is losing money every year. It occupies a large wafer fab, but can only produce 55 nanometers and 65 nanometers. It is really a waste. It is better to sell it to Xingyi Technology and replace it with
