Rebirth 1996 starts from unforgettable

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Xiao received a call from Xu Zhiyuan. The fab had agreed to the inspection request, and the invitation letter was about to be sent to the company on Hong Kong Island.

After discussing with Academician Ni, Zhang Xiao asked Guo Feng to buy a flight ticket from Beijing to Hong Kong Island that night without hesitation.

Then Zhang Xiao and Academician Ni agreed to meet at the airport in the evening before returning to the courtyard by car.

On the way back to the courtyard, Zhang Xiao called Deng Yi and asked him to ask for leave, but Deng Yi did not refuse, and agreed without hesitation.

After returning to the courtyard, Zhang Xiao said to Deng Jie while packing her clothes, "Tonight I will go to Hong Kong Island first, and then to South Korea. It will take about a week."

"I see, what do I need to do?" Deng Jie's expression darkened slightly, and then she said with a smile.

"No, this time I'm mainly going to visit the fab." Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

"Be careful and take care of yourself when you go out." Deng Jie said with some concern.

Zhang Xiao nodded, seeing Deng Jie's worried expression, couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart.

After dinner, Zhang Xiao and Deng Jie bid farewell, got into the car, and headed for the airport.

Zhang Xiao met the inspection team headed by Academician Ni in the lobby of the airport, a total of five people.

Academician Ni tidied up today with special spirit. He was wearing a well-fitting suit with a long black windbreaker on the outside and a pair of black leather shoes on his feet.

The hair is neatly trimmed, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, together with a black briefcase, looks extraordinarily energetic. Although there are some gray hairs on the temples, it does not affect the spirit of Academician Ni at all.

He was completely different from the slovenly people in the company, Zhang Xiao almost didn't recognize him when he first saw it.

"Academician Ni, you are very energetic today!" Zhang Xiao said with a chuckle.

"Of course, you must have your own demeanor when you go out." Academician Ni also laughed and said jokingly.

As soon as Academician Ni said this, the other people around him also laughed. After all, they were also asked by Academician Ni to organize their luggage and change their outfits.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and said appreciatively: "It's very handsome, even more handsome than me."

"Haha, it's too late, I'm getting old." Academician Ni had a smile on his thin face, obviously satisfied with Zhang Xiao's praise, but he said so.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I'm not old, I still rely on you, Academician Ni, to make the chip. How can I say I'm old. I'm old. I have a long-term ambition. In the future, the domestic chip project will depend entirely on you."

Academician Ni said excitedly at this moment: "Let's go, the plane should take off, and we'll discuss it in detail when we get on the plane."

"Okay, let's go." Zhang Xiao waved his hand, and went to the boarding gate side by side with Academician Ni.

After boarding the plane, it took off not long after.

Academician Zhang Xiao and Academician Ni sat next to each other, and Academician Ni took out a document and handed it to Zhang Xiao, "Boss, this is some information about lithography machines and other equipment that I have compiled in some time, please go through it. "

After Zhang Xiao took the documents and flipped through them, he asked, "Is this the most advanced lithography machine document in the world?"

"It can only be said that it is the most advanced material we know, but we don't know the specific situation. After all, the competition for lithography machines is actually very fierce, and the replacement is also very fast." Academician Ni shook his head and said.

Zhang Xiao nodded, and said helplessly, "I don't know when our country's level will catch up."

"We are now in an era where building is worse than buying, and there are not many people who really concentrate on research and development." Academician Ni said with a sigh.

"I don't know what's going on with the lithography machines in this fab!" Zhang Xiao said helplessly.

"I hope it's the most advanced one, otherwise there's no point in buying it." Academician Ni shook his head and said.

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Let's talk about it after the on-site inspection."

Academician Ni also nodded with a serious expression and said: "The waters of chip manufacturing are very deep. At present, Intel Corporation accounts for 80.00% of the global market share. It can be imagined its technological advantages. At present, our Shenhua Computer is still mainly negotiating. After the negotiations, after all, Shenhua Computer cannot wait for our own chips to be produced before reproducing them.”

Zhang Xiao nodded and admitted that what Academician Ni said was reasonable. After all, even if the chip factory is built, it will take at least three years to start production, and it is not known where it will develop by then!

"This is to trouble the staff of the company's purchasing department. After all, we absolutely cannot accept such things as price increases, otherwise they will only make an inch!" Zhang Xiao said with a serious expression.

"I understand this truth. If it doesn't work, I can only pass it through a third party." Academician Ni said helplessly.

"What's Intel's current attitude?" Zhang Xiao couldn't help asking.

"It's very ambiguous. After all, Shenhua Computer has risen rapidly recently, and its market share has reached 5.00%. They are not willing to give up such a big business. I think their price increase is just an excuse, and it is true to put pressure on me. "Academician Ni smiled slightly.

Zhang Xiao nodded and said with a slight smile, "Let's talk about it depending on the situation. Don't worry, there is still time after all."

"But this feeling is very aggrieved, and the feeling of being stuck in the neck is really uncomfortable." Academician Ni said with a heavy expression.

"Aren't we doing it now? As long as we start doing it, we will have a chance!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

After arriving on Hong Kong Island, it was already early morning, but Zhang Xiao still saw Xu Zhiyuan outside the airport.

"Mr. Xu, please come to pick up the plane at such a late hour." Zhang Xiao said with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Zhang, what you said is out of the question. What do we have to do with each other?" Xu Zhiyuan and Zhang Xiao said with a smile after hugging each other.

After the group got into the car, Xu Zhiyuan said to Zhang Xiao: "I will introduce a friend to you tomorrow, who is also a direct participant in this matter."

"Reliable?" Zhang Xiao asked with a smile.

"Of course, he is also my brother just like you." Xu Zhiyuan nodded seriously and said.

"That's good. After all, things like fabs are taboo. I don't want too many people to know." Zhang Xiao smiled slightly.

"I understand, but things like fabs are very risky, how do you think about it, why do you do such things?" Xu Zhiyuan asked a little puzzled.

"You know about Shenhua Computer, right?" Zhang Xiao didn't answer Xu Zhiyuan's question, but asked instead.

"I know, it's a product of your company."

"I have always purchased the CPU, the core component of the computer, from Intel Corporation, but now they want to increase the price, which is 15.00% higher than the purchase price of other companies! This is simply deceiving!" Zhang Xiao was a little angry Said.

"Brother Zhang, you don't want to build a chip factory just because of these things, you are so crazy." Xu Zhiyuan said in disbelief.

"There is no way, if you want to avoid getting stuck, you have to make it yourself!" Zhang Xiao said in a deep tone.

"But the initial investment of billions requires continuous investment later on, and it is even far away to see profits. Is it worth it?" Xu Zhiyuan didn't understand Zhang Xiao's approach.

"This can be regarded as my dream. After all, many things have to be done by someone." Zhang Xiao smiled slightly.

"You really burned too much money, but then again, do you have that much money?" Xu Zhiyuan said helplessly.

"No, it's still far behind." Zhang Xiao hesitated slightly, and said helplessly.

Xu Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Xiao speechlessly. He didn't know where Zhang Xiao's confidence came from. Although betting on stones was very profitable, it was also risky. No one could win forever.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, I won't play myself to death." Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

"I hope, but I think you should take your time and build the chip factory without rushing." Xu Zhiyuan finally persuaded Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao also knew that Xu Zhiyuan had good intentions, but he was unwilling to lie, and said, "Let's go and investigate first, and then we'll talk about it, and their asking price is too high, if it's [-] million US dollars, I can still accept it."

"Two hundred million? Impossible, after all, it is a complete fab!" Xu Zhiyuan said.

"Is there anything impossible? The fab's equipment is updated very quickly. They know very well that even the latest equipment will be updated after two or three years. I don't want to spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of waste products." Zhang Xiaoyao He shook his head and said.

Xu Zhiyuan said a little speechlessly: "You'd better explain these things to Lin Hemin tomorrow, otherwise don't blame me if the price is high after the negotiation!"

"Lin Hemin? From the Lin family?" Zhang Xiao asked.

"Yes, the second child of the Lin family and the nephew of the He family." Xu Zhiyuan said with a slight smile.

"Rich second generation." Zhang Xiao couldn't help sighing.

Xu Zhiyuan said a little speechlessly: "If he is the rich second generation, what do you say? The rich first generation?"

Zhang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that there was no buzzword like rich second generation at this time, and then couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the vehicle stopped at a five-star hotel.

After Zhang Xiao and his party checked into the hotel that Xu Zhiyuan booked, Xu Zhiyuan left by car.

"Brother Lin, I just met Zhang Xiao." Xu Zhiyuan said after calling Lin Hemin.

"What did he say?" Lin Hemin asked, preventing the beauties around her from entanglement.

"He said the price is too high, and he can still accept [-] million US dollars." Xu Zhiyuan said.

"Two hundred million dollars? Why didn't he grab it!" Lin Hemin said angrily.

"Old Lin, this factory doesn't belong to you, does it?" Xu Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

"How could it be mine? Although I also make electronic products, the communication equipment I make has nothing to do with chips." Lin Hemin shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'll introduce you guys tomorrow, and then I won't care about it." Xu Zhiyuan smiled slightly.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Lin Hemin hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
